50,000 Monkeys at 50,000 Typewriters Can't Be Wrong

“as his kilt rises…”

  • WWdN in Exile

I think this is one of those rare things that can be equally enjoyed* by those who have context, and those who don't.

'As his kilt rises.' Felicia Day and Wil Wheaton as Codex and Fawkes in The Guild. By Greg Aronowitz.

*for very disturbing values of 'enjoyed'

    The existence of this makes me double rainbow happy.

    Button? Forget that. I want a shirt.

    And lo, there was much rejoicing, and much Photoshopping of geeks’ faces, as they desired a rippling six-pack and a flame-haired beauty of their own….
    Just don’t post the results on Flickr. Please. Seriously.

    Mmmmmm, yes. A shirt would be beyond awesometastic. I would totally buy the shirt and wear it proudly where ever I went.

    Wait… Wil’s in the picture, too?
    Huh. I’ll be darned.

    It’s like looking in a mirror, ain’t it?

    OK… we need posters, t-shirts, puzzles, and coasters STAT!!!

    Although I am of the breed that actually prefers the geek physique to the rippling muscles and bulging veins, I do have to admit that this is a thing of beauty.
    This is one of those occasions where you see something you never knew you wanted, but when you see it you’re not quite sure how you ever lived without it.
    I will buy this on any merchandise presented to me.

    You’re right — I enjoyed it without context first, then followed your link, watched that, and then enjoyed it again with context. Twice the fun (although I hear a little Scarecrow voice in my head piping “some people go both ways!”)

    Wil,
    If you could somehow get George Takei to view that image I am sure you will get the now iconic ‘Oh, my!’ out of him.

    The sword seems really impractical. I mean, wouldn’t the spikes get caught in your enemy while your enemy’s buddy took you out? It is also more than a little frightening as a phallic symbol. Who would date a man with a sword like that?

  12. simpleton says:
    25 July, 2010 at 5:30 pm

    yeah that’s ok

    This is totally AWESOME!!! In addition to the t-shirt and poster, I would like it on a skin for my lap top. Thanks

    This goes beyond Double Rainbow ATW epicness. It perhaps goes beyond, dare I say, the Triple Dolphin tee shirt? Pure genius.
    By the by, I had no idea you were so RIPPED. 🙂

    I’m having a nosebleed right now. I’m blaming this on a delayed reaction to seeing this picture. My veins were unable to deal with the hotness.

    Let me guess…the cover to the historical romance novel Felicia is writing, starring Fawkes and Codex? My, my, Wil, have you been working out? =8->

  20. Mitch Malone says:
    25 July, 2010 at 7:05 pm

    Wow. Just amazing. Codex = dream girl.

    Why is my first thought “I wonder what Anne thinks about this?”

    Someone is going to find this in the rubble of the post-apocalypse and use to it restart the world’s mythology. I, for one, am glad. All hail the deities of the new world!!!

  24. Jondi Schmitt-Soper says:

    TOTALLY HAWT!!! I love me some Felicia Day and Wil Wheaton!

    “Wil Wheaton: Proud purveyor of Chiseled Man-Nipple since Sometime Last Tuesday.” 🙂

  26. RachelT says:
    25 July, 2010 at 8:47 pm

    It’s like the cover to the best bad romance novel ever. I’m sure the total number of embarrassing Fawkes / Codex fanfic will have mysteriously doubled by morning.
    Seriously, Wil? Cawkes? You are such a twelve year old. 😉

    okay, that’s just creepy.
    Ka-Ree-Pee.

    I love this-I love that I have a pin of it from Comic-Con. Where shall I put it?

  34. LauraB says:
    25 July, 2010 at 11:41 pm

    I just have to say Wil-you are looking great as usual, it was a pleasure to see you at Con.

    I am so buying this, framing it, and hanging it on the wall in my computer room. Its just so awesome. How much you wanna bet the pegakittycorn is all stretched out sleeping in one of those sunbeams? And I just bet that somewhere off to the right (follow the point of the sword) there is a double rainbow in the distance…

    Just wondering if you really have this complete absence of body hair. Not wondering very hard, mind you.

  40. Belinda.Short says:
    26 July, 2010 at 6:37 am

    I would totally make a print of this and frame it for my wall.

  41. Belinda.Short says:
    26 July, 2010 at 6:47 am

    LOL forever at TeamCawkes.com
    I may have to take my friends up on working a booth at Gencon just so I can say hi and get an autograph if I get a print of that painting.
    Was the original done in actual paint/oil or is it CG?

  42. Court says:
    26 July, 2010 at 8:26 am

    Wil,
    You need to stop right now, or…
    *Grr*
    Your feeding my crush on you. Its not funny when I do have long red hair, and similar to Felicia in appearance.
    *ultimate sigh*

  43. Court says:
    26 July, 2010 at 8:26 am

    lol

  44. tomboon.livejournal.com says:
    26 July, 2010 at 8:53 am

    Perhaps this could be the cover of your short story collection?

  45. Pcnickn says:
    26 July, 2010 at 9:28 am

    I just may have got a geek boner. ew. btw, where were you during the old spice guy auditions?? I’d buy. (like it matters)

  46. Court says:
    26 July, 2010 at 10:03 am

    I just had to blog about this picture.

  47. Arconna says:
    26 July, 2010 at 10:55 am

    Thank you for putting images in my head that had previously gone un-imagined. I will skulk away now…

  48. beelkay says:
    26 July, 2010 at 11:40 am

    Painted from life, I gather…*somebody’s been working oooouuuu-uuut!*

  49. beelkay says:
    26 July, 2010 at 11:41 am

    I think you forgot to put in the end tag for the bold text or something…

  50. KaliAmanda says:
    26 July, 2010 at 12:01 pm

    Oh, the awesomeness! THE AWESOMENESS!!!
    Can this be the cover for the next DVD? Because that is a keeper in so many ways…

from the vault: the autumn moon lights my way

I wrote A LOT about my sons, and our relationship, during this five year mission. It's rewarding and special to look back at those posts, now, knowing everything I know.

This weekend, after way, way too many years in exile, I’m finally returning home. Wow. Typing that made me feel all the feels. I wasn't expecting that.
