Rule 5 Sunday: A Death Goddess For Your Consideration

— compiled by Wombat-socho Perhaps death goddess isn’t the right term, but in Fate/Grand Order Scathach is the guardian of the Land of Shadows, a Celtic analog to Ereshkigal in Sumerian mythology, and everybody calls Eresh a death goddess, so…anyway, here she is in the kitchen fixing some chocolate for Valentine’s Day. Very dark chocolates. […]

Rule 5 Sunday: Hedley Lamarr Presents The Teutonic Titwillow, Lili von Shtupp!

The German femme fatale sent to seduce Sheriff Bart in Blazing Saddles earned Kahn one of her two Oscar nominations, the other being for a similar role as Trixie Delight in Paper Moon.
