Debo is coming!

I got mind control over Debo. Smokey (Friday) Have you ever run into an emotional bully? These types of people are very prone to emotional terrorism. These types have constant emotional ups and downs with weekly to daily emergencies. These activities leave you drained or just mentally exhausted. We all know the only way to deal with these types is to cut ties. Despite their good intentions…

Missin N.C....

Missin N.C….

Flying into Asheville on a cool June day was just what I expected it to be. I’ve been living in New York for almost six months now. My brain is still in disbelief that we would actually pick up and move over 500 miles away from what I have been calling home since 2006. I had the honor of sitting next to the perfect airplane buddy. A yellow Lab belonging to a young woman who was visually impaired…

https://youtu.be/fipafHfc650 have you watched this video? I think it's really interesting and the analysis is spot on especially when they talk about mileapo's chemistry (and the difference between kinnporsche and vegaspete scenes)

Anon, are you trying to get me in trouble with the VP fans?! 🤣🤣🤣

I have watched this. I will say in general it's good, and I recommend everyone give it a watch if you have the chance.

youtube

But if you don't, I'm going to highlight the key points from the essay in order to respond and also some minor points of contention I have.

Mile and Apo set a new standard for chemistry in BL, and fans are not going to be satisfied with the same dead fish kisses they've been seeing in a lot of BLs. (Agreed, this point has been iterated before by other bloggers on tumblr too)

Their kisses are exceptional acting. (The thesis of this post, and I'm guessing why you linked me to the video.) The essayist highlights three items as what makes a great kiss scene: the physical, the emotional, and the lexical.

VP's sex scene is a combination of multiple takes and B-roll likely because they couldn't get one shot that was cohesive enough to use. (this is a fact, I can't dispute it and other people in VP fandom too have noted it). This is in contrast to KP's NC scenes which are usually one take. The video essayist theorizes the BDSM element could have caused more elements for the actors to be uncomfortable and recommends that they work on their chemistry between seasons, provided there is an S2.

I'm gonna focus on chemistry as the subject of this ask.

First of all: What is chemistry?

Chemistry such a vague concept people talk about and never define that you can really only talk about it as "you know it when you see it." But it's so innately recognizable that it's something you can see on video and in still photos.

I would define it as a function of who the people (actors) are to each other. Let me highlight one (extreme) example with MileApo at the Dream Salon Farger event.

This is what I would consider reasonably neutral friendly body language. They're seated in two different chairs, but they are looking at each other and engaging.

Then Mile gets asked a question about confessing and they literally start leaning into each other even though Mile is supposedly talking to the audience.

Then he finishes answering the question with direct eye contact with Apo. Now he's answering the question only for Apo at this point. They're in their own little world, we're just witnessing it.

Also something that's haunted me the longest time... what the hell Apo, why are you shy about Mile answering a question about flirting in private. I mean we all know why but. GOd.

??? what the hell.

ANYWAY. The point is, the chemistry between them is so visible they're literally like magnets pulling towards each other. These are all stills from the video. Even though they started out from a fairly neutral position, their bodies and eyes are innately drawn into each other.

If you have an example this obvious you can tell it's happening even though not everyone might be able to verbalize why you can see the chemistry.

My opinion on actor chemistry is that you can't fake it and you can't really make it happen. It's also not a function of how good the actor is at acting.

Let me give you an example of that. I would consider one of the gold standards of cinematic chemistry to be Daniel Craig as James Bond meeting Eva Green's Vesper Lynd in Casino Royale. And while I haven't watched Blue is the Warmest Color, Léa Seydoux and Adèle Exarchopoulos's chemistry in the film is what has made it one of the great recent queer cult classics.

Yet Daniel Craig and Léa Seydoux have absolutely no chemistry. I was kind of shocked when they got together because their lack of chemistry was so palpable I couldn't see it coming. Two actors who have previously displayed incredible chemistry with other costars and are great actors in my opinion just don't...click.

That's why you cast for chemistry.

So my criticism of the essayist's point they need to work on it is, I don't think they can... I will say, Daniel and Lea's chemistry in No Time to Die was slightly better, but it's not a function of familiarity. If it's not there, then it's not there.

I don't think Bible and Build "lack" chemistry to the same extent as Daniel and Lea above... I actually think it's not terrible, but it doesn't come off at the same explosive level as Mile and Apo's. I would say they operate on a good level we see in a lot of normal-level romantically cast pairings. As for why the NC scene came off as awkward, I do think it's familiarity with each other in the context of that kind of storytelling. Remember that Mile and Apo also spent a year making out with each other for practice too 🤪

What is chemistry in the context of storytelling?

For me, in good storytelling, actor chemistry is usually used in opposition to the events of the story. The chemistry is what glues the characters together while the events unfolding pull them apart. The visible chemistry is the "why" that keeps them coming back together and fighting for a relationship even though intellectually it doesn't make sense.

And by relationship I don't necessarily mean romantic, though sometimes actors get cast for romantic chemistry even when the relationship is meant to be read as platonic. An infamous example of that is Michael Fassbender and James McAvoy in the X-Men reboot.

Their chemistry isn't as intense as MA's (I mean, most people aren't unless if they're actively in a scene trying to bring that out), but if you watch a live video of them, they're magnets for each other too.

And the filmmakers used this kind of chemistry to build the story around why two people might have the type of friendship that crosses a turmulous multi-decade civil rights divide and explains why two people would continue to care about each deeply other despite all the history between them and how much space and time they spend apart.

So do BibleBuild cross that threshold for VegasPete? I would say... actually yeah. Despite all the fucked up things that happened between them, I personally could believe at the end that Pete would throw away all he knew to stand by a man who had kidnapped and tortured him and claimed he had nothing left to offer Pete.

I would actually say the problematic lack of chemistry is between Jeff and Barcode. I love Barcode as Chay, but the original cast Gameplay just had much more chemistry with Jeff. Actually it threw me off how much I felt when Kim found the photos Chay had left him because somehow Jeff created more KimChay chemistry with photos than when Barcode-as-Chay was in the room with him... 😥

It's Physics More Than Chemistry, Baby

Here's the thing, and what I think the essayist was trying to say. I don't think the problem with VegasPete's NC was BBB's lack of chemistry. I think it was the lack of familiarity and comfort. The BDSM elements might have thrown them off, but I do think it's a fundamental discomfort with the NC scenes for them. It comes off as inorganic.

I'm going to get so much shit for this but in for a penny, out for a pound I guess.

MaxTul is considered the king of BL chemistry, and watching manner of death, I would actually agree. They have great chemistry.

But this gifset I saw of them? 😬

This is not the body language of two people ready to get it on. There's so much intentional space between their bodies. There's no rhythm. They're deliberately trying to not have their groins touch. It's so inorganic. It's not a dance between two partners.

The "choreography" of this scene is a close match to Porsche seducing Kinn in episode 9, and yet the difference in authenticity between the two scenes is so vast.

A scene like this is not something you can't rely on just chemistry for, there needs to be comfort and coordination in what's happening between the two actors. That's why it's acting.

I think that's what the essayist and a lot of people see is lacking in VegasPete's NC scene. But this is fixable. It's not a chemistry problem, because that is not really fixable.

Off with his Head!

This must stop.

The News Feed I was going through the news this morning on my phone. They provide a glance into the state of the public mindset for me. I will be the first to admit that I don’t do this often. The news has a way of putting the most provoking information out to get the best emotional reaction to stir up views and shares. And today was no different. 😵‍💫🤕 This is why I have my methods of…

Sibling Rivalry, Favoritism, and Multiplayer

Hey all, it's been an upsetting week for me, not gonna lie. I'm gonna skip the spiel and just get into it, so I'll just say that if you can relate then please Like and Follow and be sure to tip your struggling blogger. Also I'm lonely and need friends, so send me a request on Switch and message me on here as well! My mental issues make it difficult for me to sustain friendships, but I'd love a pen pal or 10k of them!

I'll be opening up more about things as I get more comfortable with this whole self-awareness and vulnerability thing, so subscribe and bear with me, but let's just say for now as a quick background that my mother is a narcissist, my dad is the flying monkey, my brother is the golden boy, and he married a conniving narcissist as well, so as to continue the cycle of abuse to his two kids. I am the damaged scapegoat who is trying to navigate away to healthier dynamics for my spouse and kids. I'm currently no-contact with my brother and his family as well as my mother and any relatives whatsoever. I do meet up with my dad occasionally for pancakes, but it is very much about sticking heads in the sand and pretending like we aren't estranged. I was no-contact with him as well until my wife informed him I was in the psych ward a couple months ago. I'm willing to answer questions as we go...

Anyway, he recently sent me $500 since I finally got up the nerve to put my pride and ego aside and outright ask him for help; something that has been instilled as a big source of shame for me to ever do because my mom especially would verbally berate me about how incompetent I am and how I would die alone and unwanted. Anyways, I digress, you may be asking what I would have to complain about? While I am thankful for any help I can get, let's just say $500 is chump change when it comes to my parents. They have money that I have been long since cut off from but that my brother and his family still very much access unabashedly, at the age of 32. I am 38. Also important to note is that he works a lucrative career where he has been able to make similar or better money as me over the past decade. The difference has been that my wife and I have been smart and careful with our money, while they have spent it recklessly. I always tend to leave out background details inadvertently, so I'm trying to recall as much as I can so as to not sound like unjustified soured grapes.

After years of no contact, our wives started communicating again, and it eventually got to where they decided to move to the south where we had relocated, originally in order to get away from them all. I wasn't thrilled about this, but I didn't want to deny my wife a chance at a friendship. My brother was reluctant to move here too, for reasons that I will get into someday as I work up the nerve to do so. My mom said I should take that said reason to the grave, but I'm not going to do that. They lived in an apartment for 6 months while making excellent money, by most people's standards, but they then exited out of the lease and moved into my parents' house, yet again, rent free, until they could buy a house of their own (or at least, that was how it was phrased to me when I decided to go nc with my parents yet again, due to the emotional pain of yet again seeing him and his family completely chosen over me and mine). They had to get out of their lease because they are assholes and got a bit too brazen with their neighbors. Despite being brazen in the past with neighbors who produced guns in their faces, they still find it rather funny to try and cave their downstairs neighbor's ceiling in by purposely jumping around as hard as they could out of spite. So long story short, another awful neighbor who couldn't take a joke decided to make them feel less than safe for their choices.

With the money and assets they have, there should've been no reason why they couldn't just pivot into another short term lease or something, but my parents ate up the chance to get into that abusive dynamic yet again, telling themselves that they couldn't let their son and his family go homeless (I can't say that without laughing because that is hardly the only other choice in this scenario). Regardless, we have come back into this situation because my parents decided to move those who we are once again no longer in contact with into their own house, essentially choosing a side once again. Of course, the explanation evolved from this being a temporary thing to suddenly they can't afford a down payment on anything because they don't have any money saved, meaning they would be living with them indefinitely. My only satisfaction in this was knowing that my mom's vicious lap dog, who she refuses to rehome because she spent $6k from a breeder, would be biting the shit out of all of them. Despite the dog being a barrier to letting my kids stay over my parents or anything of the sort, you can at least cordon a dog off for someone to visit. Sadly, they refuse to kennel my brother's wife.

Anyways, my spouse has some acquaintances in the real estate industry, since we have bought and sold a number of homes over the years. She got a message from one of them, asking her if she was aware how terribly entitled and obnoxious her in-laws are. Despite having to search numerous banks for a loan due to their awful credit rating, they still have the nerve to act like they are rich and powerful somehow. They were apparently searching originally for a house priced in the $300's but could not get a mortgage unless my parents cosigned and put up their retirement assets as collateral. They refused that, but they did cosign a mortgage for $200k. This after having always told me about how they would never cosign a loan for anyone ever. So basically, my parents bought my fully grown ass brother and his family a house, because when push comes to shove they will definitely stop paying the mortgage payment and could care less if they force my parents into doing so. Of course, I am sitting on this knowledge since before I was gifted $500 by my parents, and my parents won't ever tell me they did this. To answer your question, if you are asking it, I do intend to call my dad out on this, and it may be the last time I ever speak to him, depending on how that conversation goes.

My parents for the longest time would act like they did so evenly for both their kids and their grandkids, but I've called them out on that enough over the years so that they don't even make that claim anymore. From money to time spent to emotional support (if you can call it that), his family got 99.9%, and I'm an ingrate to complain about not getting my 0.1%. To clarify, I could care less except for the impact it all has had on my kids, but I do acknowledge that it's a blessing in disguise that my kids are growing up without that toxic influence so prevalent in their lives. Just makes me sad because if they would cosign a $200k mortgage for me like that, I'd be set for life, but bro's family gets rewarded for their recklessness while mine gets punished for trying to do things "the right way."

I want to shift gears now before I become too bitter, but I will just ask you to comment or message me, do you have experience with being the black sheep? If so, how's it going? Conversely, do you have experience being the golden child and self-aware of it? How has that been like for you??

To channel my inner Cranky Kong: kids these days experience multiplayer gaming far different than we did as young bloods. In my day *groans as he shifts in his recliner* multiplayer meant your friend or sibling played a single player game while you waited and rooted for them to screw up so you could have your turn to play! SMB3 made some progress in this by establishing a cooperative level progression, despite continuing the alternating turns system of play, but it was still waiting impatiently for your turn to play. Other games that did have simultaneous co-op could be frustrating if you had a younger sibling who couldn't hold up to your skill level. Nowadays, you got co-op where players don't get in each other's way, and you even got games that are accessible for players who can't coordinate keeping the acceleration button held down in Mario Kart. I may sound like I'm complaining, but I assure you this is quite the opposite. I might have had better interpersonal relationships growing up if it was more about this level of inclusive play and bonding rather than the confusing cooperative yet competitive setup that led to a rather passive aggressive style of friendships and relationships that I experienced.

A quick update before I wrap this up: I will be going away for a couple of weeks without access to internet, so know that I am okay during this time and will post more when I get back. I would like to ask, has anyone reading this ever called the suicide hotline, and what was that experience like for you? I have not yet called, but I do have them in my contacts (it's 988 in the US for anyone who doesn't know).

The holiday season is filled with controlling propaganda for family, friends, and other such obligations disguised as tradition, so if you are like me and can't conform to society's expectations, just know you aren't alone and that this is a safe spot to share and discuss. You don't have to feel shame and guilt for putting your own health and quality of life first. Trauma sucks, but we all have it. Understand that your own personal experience is valid and that you aren't lesser than anyone else. I hope you are able to find peace and comfort this season in your spirituality because that's far stronger than worrying about the company you keep, possessions you have, or living a lifestyle by others' standards. What's the point in living that way if it just adds to your stress? Family sucks, and that is why I have opted out. If you are considering doing the same but haven't yet, I hope you survive this year. If you are considering breaking free, I'm happy to lend a friendly ear and chat!

Why have I seen so many posts about ‘not attacking trans women for having problematic kinks’ over the past year and then said ‘kinks’ are c/nc and l0li shit?

there was a whole debacle like a year or two ago where some popular bloggers were called out for having fucked up raceplay kinks and then they tried to use their status as trans women to exempt them from criticism. so that’s probably what you’re referring to but it was pretty open and shut, anyone w/ half a brain could tell that their gender has nothing to do with it & bringing it up only perpetuates the idea that trans women are demented sexual predators. & i still think that’s true, i’ve seen an equal if not greater amount of tme bloggers on here with fucked up immoral kink blogs so making it an issue solely around trans women and transfems is rlly just a self report on your own bias i think & i don’t trust anyone who singles out trans women in those conversations

that being said though trans women are often unjustly called degenerates because of the bias surrounding them so it’s good to keep an eye out for when the criticism is actually earned vs when it’s just an excuse to dogpile a trans woman who pissed off some cryptoterf. it’s hard to tell sometimes hence why you should always just keep ur mouth shut until cold hard proof shows up. and then still keep your mouth shut especially if you want to bring up anything about trans women as a whole👍

#this ask may or may not be bait but whatever i see this brought up a lot & it annoys me #answers

hi <3 idk where to start or why i am even writing this, maybe just to show some appreciation to you and so many anti-porn bloggers spreading awareness.

i'm still not much educated on prn, i know it's just causes unhealthy dopamine surges, how dangerous it is for women, etc. but...

i was exposed to it when i was very young. and these past 2 years, i was heavily... like heavily into it and i progressively saw myself getting worse but i didnt think it was "bad". i'm gen-z so i was like "omg im so kinky, im vanilla at all" (very weird and annoying i know) but the things that i was getting into... i saw myself spending even an hour searching for the right video to satisfy me, it needed to be "very rough" or "real life situation" like in order for me to really enjoy it. (cnc but it had to not really look c .. nc)

you know how weird and concerning that is? consider i've never done the deed, and i've never been in a relationship? i don't know why i stopped but i did.

i've been clean for a while now and every time i relapsed back then i always felt guilty. clearly when i wasn't educated on the harmful effects on prn, it's nature to feel guilty and off about what you're doing. it's just not right.

i find myself having the urge to relapse but i don't. i'm happier. i'm more confident. i don't worry about my "performance" when that time comes when i meet the right guy bc i always watched that and heard it messes with your brain and in real life, it wont be as satisfying as what those videos portray. i don't spend hours of my nights searching for the right video, i am sleep for work instead and doing productive things in my life.

anti porn forever

Even if you have cravings for it still, you’re going to be SO grateful you stopped. This is going to save your future sex life full stop. Most of us didn’t get that chance!

Jack Gohkle & the Oakland Golden Grizzlies

The basketball world is at the edge of its seat with the buzz of March Madness. This is the time of year when NCAA basketball programs around the country are in awe of the men’s and women’s organizations chasing after the National Championship. Those who have won their respective conference tournaments have been offered a seed into the March Madness tournament, but it is a single-elimination format in the National tournament.

The tournament began on March 17th, 2024. As of today, March 27th, 2024, men’s and women’s divisions are now left with 16 remaining teams. This point in the tournament is also known as the “Sweet-16.” The finals are set to be televised on April 7th for the women’s finals, and the men’s finals are set for April 8th.

A big win this year from hot-shot shooter Jack Gohlke from the University of Oakland based out of Auburn Hills, Michigan. He made national news by upsetting the Kentucky Wildcats on Thursday, March 21st, with a team-high 10 three-point field goals. This record-setting performance hit the internet by storm, giving Gohlke so much exposure that he received multiple N.I.L. deals with companies such as TurboTax and Buffalo Wild Wings.

“Connective blogging,” as per Rheingold, uses blogs to engage in conversations, share ideas, and create networks for those of similar interests. This is effective through the cross-use of subject topics where bloggers can actively connect and participate in broader discussions compared to only receiving broadcasted information.

Now, regarding the case of Jack Gohlke from the University of Oakland, He made history and captured the hearts of college basketball fans worldwide with his exceptional performance. The connective conversations of bloggers online show how this man made so many endorsements and has received national attention. The news headline was a mere post about his accomplishments, but through collaboration and curation of people sharing this news, Jack Gohlke is now a national hero.
