Sonya Belousova is an incredibly talented pianist who's mixed her musical talent with cosplay and homages to various fandoms. Be sure to check out her Doctor Who tribute that went viral last week, I posted that one in the Doctor Who thread.
I suspect this one has already been posted in The Avengers: Age of Ultron thread, but since I'm avoiding spoilers until I see the movie, I'm not about to verify my suspicion. So for the benefit of those avoiding Avengers 2 spoilers, here's Sesame Street's Aveggies Age of Bon Bon.
When George Lucas went to make The Empire Strikes Back, he decided he wanted a short film to screen before the main feature to set the tone. He dispatched Roger Christian, who’d served as a set decorator on Star Wars, to direct a script that Christian had written. The resulting short film was “Black Angel,” about a knight who gets back from the Crusades to find that things are not at all as he left them. There is a quest, there is a mysterious lady, there is a Black Knight. This 25-minute movie is said to have influenced Excalibur, Lionheart, Ladyhawke, and even Empire Strikes Back itself.
Some audiences in the UK saw “Black Angel,” but the film has been considered lost for over 30 years. Recently, a print turned up, and it’s now available on YouTube—you can see it in its entirety above, following some introductory comments from Roger Christian.

Veteran Disney animator Rob Pratt created this tribute to the classic Flash Gordon adventures of yesteryear. This is a follow-up to his equally awesome "Superman Classic" and "Bizarro Classic" works. Well worth your time.
Makes a silly, yet pretty good case why it would have made WAY more sense for Daredevil to be named 'Batman' and which Marvel character should have been named 'Daredevil' instead.
The first "Towel Day" was observed on May 25th 2001 (two weeks after The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy/Doctor Who writer Douglas Adams' passing), and has been observed annually on May 25th ever since.
International Space Station astronaut (yeah, the same astronaut who recently donned a Star Trek uniform while on the space station) posted this nice homage to the late author.
