It's hot.*

And now, let us sing our traditional Heat Awareness Day song!
[guitar riff] Nanananana. Nananana. Na. Na.
Nanananana. Nananana. Na. Na.
Nanananana. Nananana. Na. Na.
"Oh, I can feel it."
Well alrighty then.

Jack of Hearts really doesn’t interest me as a character, so I am going to concentrate on Nebula instead.

The news comes via his wife, who reported that he passed away during the night on May 24, 2025, after a lengthy illness.
David’s first work was in prose and journalism, before snagging a job in Marvel’s sales department in the 1980s. There, he managed to impress editors, and his first published comic book work was in 1985’s The Spectacular Spider-Man #103. From there, he wrote the classic “The Death of Jean DeWolff” storyline in Spectacular Spider-Man, before moving over to his signature work on The Incredible Hulk.

By Miso Bakes
As you wish.
That's right, buttercup, get ready for some eighties movie madness, starting with these sweets based on The Princess Bride - although I hope you've already figured that out by now.
By GeekSweets
It's just that I was looking for the DVD at a store recently, and the clerk literally said, "Ummmmm, is that the one with Anne Hathaway?"
Kids.
But speaking of kids, I was sure that Jen had put this Little Mermaid cake in here by mistake, because I totally remember when this movie came out! It can't be that old.
Holy crab legs, this movie is 36 years old.
How crazy to think that we're now living in Marty Mcfly's future. And look, here he is!
By Black Cherry Cake Company, now Little Cherry Cake Company
The baker really captured him perfectly. I'd recognize that puffy vest and wispy hair from a decade away.
Plus, how awesome are the little fondant flames behind the DeLorean?
Almost awesome enough for me to forget that I still don't have a hoverboard.
Hey, are you a Tom Cruise fan? A Val Kilmer fan? An edible sunglasses fan? If so, then I've got the cake for you:
Such military precision! I'd expect nothing less from a Top Gun cake.
But I have bad news: the Terminator is out there. It can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop, ever.
Until we eat it!
By Mike, aka Flickr user psychobean
Made with a Wilton skull pan and a metric ton of talent. So clever.
And speaking of cyborg assassins ...
By Clares Cakes
Ok, fine, so Inspector Gadget isn't exactly the same thing.
(And not technically a movie, unless you count the live-action film from 1999 - which you really, really shouldn't. - Jen)
But I can't believe we've come this far without mentioning the most quintessential '80s movie of all, Gremlins!
At least, that's what I've heard. This movie may have traumatized me as a child; I still haven't even seen the entire thing. Great cake, though! His ragged little ears are my favorite - they're so cute and non-murderous.
Other things I ain't afraid of: no ghosts!
Submitted by Carey-Anne, made by Very Unique Cakes
Not with the Ghostbusters around, at least! I love that this cake is for a five-year-old. Who needs Spongebob when you can have Slimer?
But here's something I need: a teensy tiny topiary floating over everyone's favorite Goblin King:
Also by Little Cherry Cake Company
How amazing is this? It would be an impressive cake if it stopped with the globe, but there are so many other great details, from Jareth's sneer down to the tiny arrows on the stone path. So cool.
You know what?
That last cake reminded me of the babe.
What babe?
This one:
By Cake Central member Kayla1505
Jessica Rabbit from Who Framed Roger Rabbit. A beauty in black and white! Whit-whoo! (That was me typing out the sound of a wolf-whistle. Not as easy as you'd think).
Now, I'm not sure if this stunner inspired by The Neverending Story is a wedding cake or not ...
By Art Cake
...but I can't think of a better way to start a new life together than with a luck-dragon on your cake! Can you? In fact, we should probably just start putting Falcors on all our cakes. Weddings, birthdays, graduations, Falker Satherhoods. All Falcor-worthy.
And finally, the '80s movie cake to end all '80s movie cakes (and especially appropriate since Star Wars day was this month!)

The Millennium Falcon!
I don't know what's more amazing, the insane amount of detail on this cake, the fact that it was made with modeling chocolate instead of fondant, or, I don't know, that it freaking GLOWS?
I hope it rocked your universe as much as it did mine!
Happy Sunday!

P.S. I just found the most gloriously 80s shirt I have ever seen.

People of any import in your world should have reputations. Not necessarily good ones.
Adventuring heroes who make any sort of impact on the world are of import. People might have heard things about them. Not necessarily good things.
Reputations don't need to be based on someone's major or good achievements. Someone who slew a dragon and saved the kingdom might have a reputation as "that guy who is terrified of ponies" or "the one who ran naked after a clothing thief".
Just pick your party's most embarrassing moments and have villagers everywhere talk about those, not about the monster-slaying stuff.

Oooo, a tracked vehicle! Or maybe a track vehicle judging from the lack of top parts. We don't get to see too many of those in Star Wars. Would it be too much to hope we get to see it in action soon? A high speed chase of some kind with a vehicle like that would be amazing.
And hey! It really is Lando! Nice to see they got Billy Dee back. Or at the very least, an extremely good lookalike. It's curious that he's on Tatooine though. I guess Lando got tired of hanging out with the Rebellion or having his head in the clouds? Or perhaps there's actually some Resistance thing on Tatooine. I guess it wouldn't be the first time, but given that this planet has been used for so many other things, it wouldn't be my first choice for trying to hide a base of operations on.
