autumn can be hit and miss because sometimes it gets cold too fast and it doesn't get the time to really become pretty
omg I hate when that happens I want perfect bright and warm colored autumns with gentle crisp wind and a soft rain of fluttering leaves and days with silvery clouds and nights with huge bright full moons and eerily glowing jack o lanterns and dead gnarled woods

Okay, I know that Horrible Histories is stupid, obsessed with poo, vomit, deaths, and has basically the maturity of a five year old; and really is an entry-level theme park version of history that isn't actually all that respectful; and I know that some of the books are grimdark; but I still love the show for its characters and songs; and, well, it's a good way to introduce kids to history. When they grow up, they'll get a more nuanced, thoughtful look at history, and they'll age past fart jokes and poop jokes so the general effect is education.
I know loads of effort goes into the costumes and research (even though the final product is vastly dumbed down for entertainment purposes), but still, for what it's worth, it's pretty great for its songs; and as long as you don't take it as being something like Gibbon's Rise and Fall of the Roman Empire; and take it as a gaggle of history scholars making extensively researched puke jokes; it's good.
I'm of a mixed mind of the show. On the one hand, I hate stupid offensiveness and vile stuff; I'm not one for obscene humor or such. On the other hand, I reallylike the songs, and where else can I get a music video of Elagabalus, Caligula, Commodus, and Nero doing music and dancing to Micheal Jackson tunes?
And dang it, that last song of the show made me cry. I'm gonna miss those characters, even the background ones.

the weather outside is frightful
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

And if you want weird (or just headache-giving) then fine:
I'm not sure what official something.
You can attain this position by becoming the first heaper to read The King's Shadow by Elizabeth Alder.
You'll have to act fast to beat Yarrun, though. He's the current Official First Reader, and he's already ordered the book (presumably for christmas).
I am very excited about this, I will have you know.
Like the official we8 spinner or official luck stealer or something.
Hmm. Official Luck Stealer........
That song is my secret guilty pleasure.
PERFECT MUSICAL GROUP, SWEDISHNESS, DANCING QUEEN.
LIFE IS GOOD.
