(Hopefully) Obscure Band Facts
Dave Mustaine has had a stuffed bear called Hanley since at least August 7, 2016. Hanley also appears sitting on Dave's bed in a video on Dave's YouTube channel, meaning Dave likely took Hanley along on the 2022 Metal Tour of the Year. Below is an image of Hanley taken from a post on Dave's Twitter account.

WAAH Joseph Russell streamed on YouTube and talked about Lucien and all the stuff he plans to add! I'm so excited!! What he has currently has always felt like, incomplete, so I'm so fucking happy there's going to be another arch of story for him.
I'll type down things I find interesting towards Lucien below! Feel free to watch his VOD here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rFd9rDW87HY
Three things he mentioned that most people won't know about Lucien:
He has an aunt named Silvia that he does not get on with; they have a hostile relationship. His Discord came up with a funny headcanon that he enjoys that Lucien's mom, Lyra, thinks she's Lucien's father's sister, and his father, Davidicus, thinks she's Lyra's sister, and it's just never come up in conversation. She's actually just some super natural entity that's wormed her way into their life. (The fuck??? LMAO)
Lucien's cat is inspired by Joseph's cat, Gray, who is very small and fluffy and sometimes cameos in his videos. Unfortunately we will never meet Lucien's cat. ("Probably.") He hasn't decided on the cat's name! ("Sorry! Wish I could tell you.")
And the third fact is that he once set fire to his shoes trying to boil potatoes. ("And that speaks for itself.") This white boy cannot cook!! But he can make tea.
He confirms that Lucien is 21 (lmfao knew it) and that he doesn't have a canon birthdate despite Lucien saying he thinks he's under the sign of the Lady ("thinks" being a big if) because Joseph wants to wait to see if wants to set in a particular date at a later time in case it is useful. So headcanon to your hearts content!
"Probably won't ever get to meet Lucien's parents because it's a lot of effort- but never say never."
He'll make Serana comments some point in the future HALLELUJAH It felt so bland without Lucien asking her anything because I know he would pick her brain!!!!!!*
*Expanded further down the video: someone asks what Lucien would ask Serana (THANK YOU CHATTER).
Joseph: He would ask what it's like to live as a vampire, and also the past, the experience of the time before he grew up when Serana existed.
He wants people to tweet him art of Lucien or post it in his Discord, he never gets art sent his way anymore on twitter (cause modding scene from Skyrim is kinda old hat but we're essentially reviving it I think lmao) but if you have art and you've never shown him, do it!!!
KJHASKDJAH okay so for those who have child dragonborn, Joseph says Lucien would be virtually useless aksjdhask he'd want to be supportive and teach them everything. He'd want to take them under his wing and teach them the signs and everything- but he'd be really irresponsible and bad at parenting. But he'd mean really well. So there ya go.
Dawnguard support for Lucien is very high on his list!! Let's goooo!!!
Lucien canonically does not being called Lucy. (Stares at my fanfiction with a snicker. It's okay, I call him Lu-Lu more often than not.) Davidicus would not like being called Dave, and Lyra would not like being called Ly-Ly.
We'll find out what Lucien wanted to see in the Elder Scroll in his third quest 👀👀👀👀 Staring so hard. GIMME.
He doesn't want to turn the resonant sphere into a teleport system, but rather make it something more lore friendly for you to call Lucien to you. I look forward to that because I actually planned something similar in my story too!
Someone asked Joseph if he thinks Dumzbthar could abandoned his aggressive side and live without the restrictions Lucien gives him and Joseph replies with, "No he's a demon. He's a Daedra. Don't forget that."
Chat: "Will Inigo ever let Lucien ever have a sweetroll?" Joseph: "No. Not without a fight."
Lucien would like black tea. But Joseph himself likes various other teas. (That's... so many teas my guy.)
He enjoys filling out Lucien's spell list when he plays with / tests Lucien. Lucien's favourite spell would be something having to do with restoration; maybe Healing Hands to heal others. Even if he gets super excited about Sparks, lol.
Something that raised an eyebrow from me; chat: "Will we ever find out what Clive really is and where he came from?" Joseph: "Yes... but probably not in the Skyrim mod."
Lucien was first more as a bard when he was created, and was originally going to be captured by a group of bandits. The scientist side of him wasn't so much of a facet at the start but built up over time. Joseph finds it that he became more interesting versus him remaining as a bard in his first instance of creation. I do too!
Chat: If Lucien could time travel to any point back in time, where would he end up and why?
Joseph: He would go back as far as he could to the very point of creation- he wants the secrets of the cosmos, he wants to know everything he could possibly know. He'd go to the very start to possibly see the world be made and then go to the end to see how it finishes. He needs those questions answered.
Joseph himself is unsure in his memory for which Dwemer ruin he's thinking of, but chat and he tentatively think he's thinking of Mzulft for Lucien's favourite Dwemer ruin in Skyrim!
Lucien doesn't worship any Aedra or Daedra, despite his awareness of their existence, and doesn't have any favourites.
Lucien isn't really embarrassed by much outside of when he puts his foot in his mouth, says something he doesn't mean, and then gets all flustered. He also is not embarrassed about his love and affection for his parents- he's quite proud of them and is happy to share that. :) Joseph likes the idea of him getting letters from his parents over time, and hopes to put that in in the future.
Lucien would ask Sheogorath many questions the Daedric Prince would probably not answer. (That's hilarious.)
Joseph has mentioned that he plans to bring Lucien into Starfield as an older version and vaguely mention the Dragonborn but he isn't certain how he'll go about it. He was asked by chat if Clive will be in Starfield (and subsequently how he would design a spacesuit for a horse). Joseph says probably not, as Starfield likely won't support horses.
Chat: What does Lucien do when he's in Falkreath and not with the LDB? Joseph: He leads a double life... as an... assassin wizard.... squirrel trainer..........
Chat: Who would win in a fight, Lucien or Lydia? Joseph: Lydia. She would destroy him. She'd snap him like a twig.
Lucien has probably never had chocolate, but if he did, he'd love it! (Stares lovingly at my Valentine episode)
Lucien is not afraid of average sized spiders! Just the bigger ones that try to eat him.
Chat: Has Lucien ever had fear overrule his curiosity and make him back down from adventure, or is he always the type to overlook danger in favor of knowledge? Joseph: Hmm... probably not so much as fear as caution. There's a lot of knowledge related to the Daedric Princes' that he has been cautious enough not to indulge in; however I think that's always a danger for him. I think if he were ever to- you know- to have a flaw, I think it would be to... pursue knowledge too much and he might not consider the consequences as much as he should. I think that is his biggest temptation in that regard. So perhaps fear and caution should make him back down more often than it would.
(Staring HARD at that and wondering if that'll play a big part in his third arc)
His third personal quest is hoping to be released later this year!!! Big year for soft wet sock of a man!!! (I hope!! No pressure Joseph!!!)
Lucien has absolutely no want to be a werewolf or vampire because of the implications of selling his soul, but he is interested in immortality because "think of the amount of knowledge he could get."
BOY. You're gonna get conned one of these days...
Joseph is learning the guitar, and says whenever he feels he's good enough and can play the Skyrim songs on guitar, he'll record them and have Lucien be able to play them on the lute!!! Exciting!!!
Lucien isn't keen on the Thalmor but is aware of the politic need to make niceties with them.
Pretty much the end of it! I'm so excited for the third arc!! YIPPEE!

I speaking out….
As a Starwars Fan, CloneWars Rebels fan and also loyal Sabezra/Ezrabine Shipper..
I tried to be more respectful…but I just need this to get off my chest .
I am sick and tired of shipwars, & pressing peoples buttons against Sabezra/Ezrabine…
For the past 9 years that I’ve been around from Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, and Tumblr. I seen a bunch of anti Sabezra /Ezrabine shippers been hating on Ezrabine/Sabezra throughout 9 years with passion.
They make it the same old claim call “siblings,”Friendzone” friendships gay, lesbian,, over and over blah blah blah … there’s a lot of people that they don’t want to see Sabezra/Ezrabine… throughout 4 seasons of Rebels I saw the comments from social media, making their claims when they shipped about.
even after rebels Season 4 I saw those anti-Ezrabine shippers were so celebrated on those comments against Sabezra/Ezrabine ship.
those people who ship Sabine to someone else to brush Ezra off.
Sabine & Kestu Rebels Season 2
Sabine & Wedge Season 3
And Now Shinn & Sabine in Ahsoka..
I don’t understand why in the fuck, they hate it Sabezra/Ezrabine so much, especially they hate it on Ezra bridger. They always come out here to have the nerve for that.
I remember the early 2 seasons of rebels they been making fun of Ezra & Ezrabine/Sabezra shippers.
Sabine treated Ezra, like a nobody for being a jerk to ignoring him. And people viewing Ezra Bridger like a loser? Which is unfair that she treated him the wrong way. But more disgusting act why in the world that Lando flirted a 16-year-old Sabine wren in Rebels Season 1? In my opinion, Lando is a pervert. Lando look like a 30 year old in rebel season 1. Which is not funny for Ezra bridger that he been treated like shit…
In Season 3 I still never get over the fact that Sabine hugged Kanan instead of Ezra, which is a total insulted
Why, in the world that Sabine never gave Ezra Bridger the credit that he’s ever done for her throughout Rebels… my personal take that Ezra Bridger was overlooked and unappreciated.
Ezra did everything for Sabine Throughout Rebels
1.Ezra Gave the Tie Fighter for Sabine to Spray painted 2. Ezra tries to help Sabine training, Sabersticks in rebels season3 (trials of the darksaber.)3 and lastly, Ezra save Sabine 7 times through missions in 3 seasons even though in Ahsoka series, saving Sabine twice in one mission,,. Including rescuing Sabine‘s father. From Rebels Season 4 to Ahsoka Series Sabine has develop her feelings for Ezra , through 10 years of the timeline.. and on the other hand, but in episode 6 why the the directors including Dave Filoni, did not show the real emotion of Sabine & Ezra’s reunion? They act like they see eachother for days and that is a red flag.🚩
I guess it’s time they need to wake up and open their eyes and face the reality. The writers and directors got it all wrong and that is also criticizing the show.
And let’s be real Sabine wren has never seen Ezra Bridger in 10 MF years! And never showed the realistic emotion? I find that out why in the writers are making Sabine like a hypocrite and act like never have feelings for Ezra.
She’s been hiding her feelings through a decade..
Ezra Bridger has grown mature strong good looking man also high value.. Sabine has made a big mistake to reject, ghosting him and pushing him away. And he is not the same so-called “ annoying kid “ and he’s not that person anymore.Then Sabine turned herself around and she felt that she cared quite. Honestly she fail in love with him.
I don’t want to hear with this so-called cliché for me. That is an excuse for people, saying that.
As for Dave Flioni? He been playing mind games throughout 9 years, and he kept ducking over that.
People gonna say “He make them siblings “
My question is, Don’t you knowthat Dave Filoni wrote those signs, hints, and teases throughout rebels & Ahsoka Series, with these 2 characters of Sabine & Ezra?
as far as I’m concerned, if Sabine do care about Ezra why is she didn’t say Ezra’s face? she been waited too long and for me personally, I’m tired of waiting.
and right now I’m a say it is very clear
i’m tired of people who make a fun of of the ship through 9 years and right now it was hypocritical by anitEzrabine Shippers
at the end of day, all you haters won’t be celebrating … because you’re afraid to see Sabezra/Ezrabine become Canon “

GROWLS
hi, so uhm, yeah, here’s the VeggieTales episode tier list I said I would do
Tumblr media
putting my thoughts under the read more if y’all wanna read that
So like I did with my Silly Song tier list, I’m going to go in order of bottom to top. I’ll try to be a little more organized about it this time.
Yellow-green is, as the image says, just episodes I haven’t seen in full or at all. I will say though, I want to see The League of Incredible Vegetables really badly. Also Celery Night Fever. I’ve heard that episodes pretty good.
NOW! Let’s go on to what I have seen.
YELLOW:
So these are the episodes that I went like “Oh these were okay... whatever” and then barely ever touched them again. Yes, the second movie’s on there, and I saw it once. It was alright, I liked bits of it, but it didn't stick with me enough. That’s also how I feel about Merry Larry a bit. I gladly took the Bob and Mr. Lunt dynamic in this episode, but I wouldn’t go back and see the entire thing again just for it.
With Moe and the Big Exit, it was just kinda iffy to me. Fine on first watch, but I don’t entirely feel like revisiting it again. Duke and the Great Pie War just didn’t grip me all that much, but the part where Otis gets shot from a slingshot was really funny.
Fennel Frontier and Big River Rescue I did watch more than once, but then not much. Mr. Spork(Bob’s character in Fennel Frontier) gulping down an entire half of a sandwich like it was nothing was kinda the highlight for me. I think out of the rest of the group, I revisit Gideon: Tuba Warrior a bit more, but not by all that much.
YELLOW ORANGE:
OKAY, the more or less general enjoyment category! Some of them I don’t revisit all that often, but I like them more and am more willing to go back and watch them again. So I only just watched It’s a Meaning Life, and this was only a day after watching the original It’s a Wonderful Life, so maybe I’m biased in the way that this episode was an immediate pallet cleanser from that. It was a pretty cute episode, plus it introduced sexyman Larry.
I haven’t revisited the End of Silliness? as a full, but everything about the ending scene just stuck with me since the first time I saw it. I liked Penniless Princess a bit more than I expected to, which was also the same deal with Pistachio; which I extra appreciate for having Bob go from not really understanding the Countertop redesign until he sees Qwerty and starts crying. I felt that.
Sheerluck Holmes was fun, especially the “Call On Us“ reprise. I love that part. Dave and the Giant Pickle I don’t revisit often, but again, a single musical number in it is what grips me the most in it: I really fucking love “Big Things, Too.“ The Little House That Stood honestly got this placement just because of Good Egg of Gooseville. (assuming that’s what the segment’s called) Whole episode is alright, but Bob is Humpty Dumpty, who’s literally cracking from work stress. Plus, he and Junior(as Baby Bear) hug near the end of the segment and it’s really sweet. Also, it reminded me of the Hello Kitty Furry Tale Theater episode of Mother Goose, so that’s really cool.
I like Josh and the Big Wall. It’s really cool, but I don’t watch it often. It’s a very once-in-a-while episode that I’d need to have some overwhelming reason to watch. I’m not super attached to Lyle the Kindly Viking, but I like it. It’s cute to watch Archibald try real hard to make a fancy and sophisticated episode. They do both a Hamlet spoof about the last eggs in the kingdom and a story about vikings in the style of Gilbert and Sullivan. It’s just a fun episode.
Speaking of fun, here’s a fun fact: Jonah: A VeggieTales Movie was the first home media thing I owned of VT. I saw it in bits before on youtube, but yeah. Jonah’s cool. I like that the ending of the movie itself is just the gang going “The main character didn’t learn anything! What kinda story is that?“ and then Mr. Lunt has to go and tell them “The point is that you learned from the fact that he didn’t learn, dumbass. Learn media literacy“ and then they have one last big musical number for the fuck of it. Oh yeah, and there’s also a celebrity guest song for the credits which oddly enough gives me a lot of nostalgia for the credits of the first Spongebob movie. Actually this whole movie always kinda reminds me of Spongebob Squarepants Movie for really no reason other than there’s nonhumans going somewhere at the behest of a higher figure and there’s the ocean at some point. They’re both the first movies of their respective series. Oh yeah, and the characters being snagged away and almost getting killed once they get to said destination. Cool stuff.
LarryBoy and the Bad Apple has the Bad Apple. Oh yeah, Bob also stomps on the ground in a fit of annoyance and then stands there in shame for the next minute while Larry and Archibald talk about the lesson, which has to be up there in the top most huntercore things he’s ever done. I enjoy watching Esther: The Girl Who Became Queen from time to time. It’s definitely different from the usual VT style, aside from this episode being the first time that a unique character was created to be main character for the episode (out of Penniless Princess, Saint Nick, and Beauty and the Beet, as some examples). I think it’s a nice change of tone, especially since The Rumor Weed was kind of the same way.
The Toy that Saved Christmas is also another once in a while watch. Mr. Nezzer is up to some business schemes again by basically selling weaponry to children. A toy with a buzz-saw. I’m assuming it’s meant to be commentary on the thing of “violent toys” being sold to children, but in a vacuum, it’s funny that Mr. Nezzer’s just selling buzz-saws in dolls just to make the toy look cool and no one calls him out on this aspect at all. “I can excuse a safety hazard, but I draw the line at promoting rampant consumerism”. This episode is also just fun, especially seeing it tailored with the VT Christmas Spectacular bit. Mr. Nezzer also tries to kill Bob, Junior, and Larry indirectly again for being meddling kids.
Finally, here’s Where’s God When I’m Scared, first episode of the show. It’s good. I’m partial to “Tales of the Crisper,“ but I also enjoy the Daniel retelling. Favorite thing in it though has to be the “God is Bigger than the Bogeyman“ number, if mainly for the first half of the first half of the song. Yes, mainly because of Bob. Small factoid, because my first proper exposure to this series was through “x being that and so for y minutes” compilations on youtube, the “what are you gonna do?“ clip has been burned into my subconscious, so I’m a bit more attached to the number because of that.
ORANGE:
King George and the Ducky is good. Being the episode after the Rumor Weed and Esther, it’s back to the good ol’ countertop in this one. So Larry’s the king, The World is His, and he really wants a kid’s rubber duck. To get it from him, he sends him to the Pie War, hoping it maybe gets rid of him so that he can have the duck to himself. Oh yeah, Jimmy and Jerry are hosts... for like eight minutes before Bob tells them off for being bad at it. This and Madame Blueberry are episodes I’ll just put on casually to have in the background.
Madame Blueberry is also pretty good for being in my radius of “episodes I’m a little more partial to". I did go and seek out Madame Bovary at my college’s library because of it, just to see how much (aside from time setting) they changed from the book. The answer is a lot. So yeah, it’s a good episode to just lounge through. Now for A Snoodle’s Tale. So this the first episode animated by a different animation group. Having thought on it for a bit now, I think DKP’s model style for VeggieTales is just really cute, especially B-- Also, I just love the Snoodle creatures.
The Ballad of Little Joe has the jailhouse reprise of “Oh Little Joe“ and “Belly Button“, so that automatically puts it high on the tier list. And the countertop banter. Always love the countertop banter. Larry’s “a WESTERN, BAHB“ and Bob’s “yahoo“ have to be up there on a list of favorite things the VT characters have ever uttered. LARRYBOY AND THE RUMOR WEED is really great and cool. “I’m the Rumor Weed“ is one of my favorite songs from the series. I don’t watch it often, but when I do, I remember that they literally let Larry get the shit beaten out of him. OH I ALMOST FORGOT TO MENTION THIS. Larry being so legitimately relieved to see that he didn’t die from plummeting into the ground, and fucking Alfred just goes “Yes, isn’t it lovely? :3“ Also on the top tier for one of my favorite interactions in this show.
Finally, it’s Are You My Neighbor? time. So I’m kinda in a similar place with this one like I am with Where’s God When I’m Scared, as in I’m way more partial to the original story content than I am in the bible retelling bit. I do like the parable bit, but I just like the story of Junior getting whisked away by two spacemen (Bob and Larry) so he can help them save an entire ship of people from a meteor made of popcorn a lot more. So this is Jimmy and Jerry’s introduction episode, and in the end, they end up saving the day because Junior figures their hungry asses could probably eat the incoming meteor. They did. They dance and have a musical number, and that’s how Junior learns that you shouldn’t be dismissive of someone just because they’re different than you. The set-up of the episode was that Junior didn’t feel like inviting a kid to his birthday party. Just thought I should mention that.
RED:
LET’S GO, RED ZONE!
So starting off the “episodes that drive Hunter nuts” category, here’s God Wants Me to Forgive Them!?! I know people rag on this episode for... everything about the visuals, but being entirely honest; the weird animation is kinda why I like this episode so much. Aside from that, this episode is just so different from the entire catalogue in a way I can’t really put my finger on. This episode doesn’t even have a Silly Song in it. Not even as a creative choice like how the LarryBoy episodes don’t have them(aside from League of Incredible Vegetables), but because the creators didn’t think anyone actually expected more after the first one. So the feeling could be chalked up to “duh, this is the second episode after all, so they were kinda experimenting with this one.“
There are so many face close-ups in this one, and I mean A LOT. Pa gets up in the audience’s face twice while addressing an entirely different person... for dramatic effect I guess. Bob gets up in the audience’s to ask a fucking math question. Junior’s dad has one. Junior has three close-up shots; again, dramatic effect I think. Scallion 1 has one during his attempt to scam people. In the Gilligan’s Island spoof, Bob and Larry get one as they scream in terror because their boat is about to crash into a fucking rock. Bob then has another on for dramatic effect. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that the first story is based on The Grapes of Wrath, by which I mean only based on the title, because I’m pretty sure the book isn’t about two old people and their two kids bullying a random five year old for no reason other than they don’t know its a bad thing to do that until said five year old’s dad intervenes and tells them to stop.
Then there’s the Gilligan’s Island spoof where Larry accidentally crashes the boat that he and Bob were just navigating out to who knows where with Archibald, Lovey(Archibald’s wife), and Junior’s dad. He daydreams about saving whales, but then the boat crashes into the rock, and everyone’s mad at Larry for it. Bob tells him off in the moment while they’re in their hammocks. Larry takes this as Bob and the others not liking him anymore and that they’d be better off without him, so he flees during the night. The day after, everyone else realizes that they shouldn’t have reacted that way to Larry and then seek him out to apologize to him. They do that and then they reconcile. A palm tree comes out and sings about forgiveness. Junior’s dad comes out with an entire helicopter made of bamboo, and the gang all make it back home. Long story short, I think God Wants Me to Forgive Them is pretty cool.
I’ll try to be a little more concise with this next one, but I’m not making any promises when I get to The Star of Christmas. I really like Larryboy and the Fib from Outer Space. The first LarryBoy episode and it’s about Junior lying about breaking his dad’s plate because a little alien freak creature encouraged him to. Larry almost gets eaten in this one, by the alien freak creature, who grew really big because of Junior’s fibbing. The scene where Alfred is trying to solve who can stop is also another scene that’s been etched into my mind.
*cracks my knuckles*
Okay, it’s British time. So starting off with An Easter Carol; It’s an alright episode, plot-wise. It’s a Christmas Carol, but about Easter, and the main conflict centers around our Ebenezer Scrooge, played by Mr. Nezzer, who wants to build an Easter theme park over the local church because he wants to appease his grandma’s wish about the true meaning of Easter. It also has a heist B-plot where the two motherfuckers from the prior installment of this British AU try to steal the plans for the theme park so that Ebenezer doesn’t tear down the church. There’s a super long monologue song about his plans, a super short one about his grandma(as a vision) chewing him out for completely misunderstanding what she meant, then another normal-sized one where an angel sings about Jesus and his resurrection. There’s also a big explosion climax near the end. It rains plastic eggs from said explosion.
I think this sits in the same camp as GWMTFT where I don’t really mind the story much as I’m just paying attention to literally everything else. Oh yeah, this was the last episode done in-house by Big Idea’s animation department. I know what you might be asking: if I’m not that into the story, why is it ranked so high? BECAUSE ITS LIKE GWMTFT IN THE WAY THAT EVERYTHING ELSE IS CHAOS. Animation-wise and visually, this episode looks really good, but I love the expression work in this episode. I love that the heist subplot is even a thing because it’s probably the most seemingly unnecessary thing to have added to this Easter version of A Christmas Carol, except its not (to me). There’s no reason there needed to be a factory explosion, except to add salt on the wound to the consequences of Ebenezer’s actions, I suppose. But I’m so glad the factory explosion exists anyway. Also I just really love the semi-song the grandma does to chew out Ebenezer. I really enjoy high energy music. Also Cavis(Bob) says “y...your eggs“ as it’s raining eggs and it’s inexplicably the funniest thing in the movie to me. Love this episode.
But there’s one I love more.
THAT’S RIGHT FUCKERS, STAR OF CHRISTMAS TIME!!!!!!!! So I don’t know how obvious it is that Cavis Appythart is my favorite character Bob has done ever. He literally steals from an artifact from the local church and tries to lie to the face of his show partner that its not stealing. Then he’s accidentally complicit in burning down the theatre that Ebenezer Nezzer let him and Millward(Larry) use to put on the Mario play. Oh yeah, this is meant to be a Gilbert and Sullivan spoof too. So Cavis really really wants to make a play that will “teach London to love” because the city is a mess. Millward just goes along with it because yeah. Pa’s character, Seymour, is contracted to just stick light-bulbs all over the place. He also has a sick rocket car. I should mention that the general British AU story is set in the late 19th century. Cavis tries to get the Prince of England to come to the show but he doesn’t want to after learning that the church is presenting an artifact he’s really interested in, which was kind Cavis’s fault for revealing to Archibald’s character, a journalist. So then after getting refused, he gets the bright idea to go steal the artifact to put it in his show. This leads to wacky hijinks, arson, and then Cavis and Millward are arrested.
They meet an old guy in jail who chews Cavis out for trying to spectacle London into not being so mean anymore. Through this, he ends up realizing that love is about what you do for others and so on. The the two are then let out by the Reverend and his son, but they sacrificed the Christmas pageant in order to do it because... they walked the whole way over. All is not lost though, because Seymour shows up in his sick car and then lends it to Millward so they get rocketed all the way to the church. They do the pageant and everything’s la-di-da from there, except for Ebenezer finding out about the church and making Millward and Cavis work in the egg factory to pay off the debt (SET UP!!!). Anyhways, they thought the stole the star artifact at first, but it turns out they stole an entirely different thing, so now everything’s la-di-da. But then Cavis remembers the guy in jail who set him straight, and decides to go give him some cookies and a hot liquid I couldn’t identify. The episode then ends. So yeah, there’s a reason why I call this the sister episode to King George and the Ducky. Guys who acted selfishly in some way or another get told off by an old man for what they did, and then commit an act of giving to make up to it to the person they wronged. It’s Bob and Larry’s trans wrongs episodes, if I may put it that way. The trans part has nothing to do with anything, I just like putting it that way.
So my Bob bias plays big part in why I’m so attached to this episode. I think he should get to be a piece of shit at the risk of falling hard on his face due to his own folly more often, which I guess happens in the VTShow more often but whatever. Also, I love the background music of this episode and I wish that there was a way I could just have it on its own. The only place it really plays is in the credits and the menu screens. The background music in VT in general is so good sometimes. Uhm. Yeah. Cavis Appythart babygirl moments. I like this episode.
WOOW. That’s the end of it. Congrats for making it down here! Here’s a cookie 🍪 And thanks for reading this

Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job #35: “Tommy” | March 9, 2009 - 12:30AM | S04E05
I’m feeling pretty great about season four, but this is the first straight-up dud if you ask me. Still, there’s stuff to like about it: 
This one is actually fairly dominated by wraparounds, which have to do with Tommy Wiseau of The Room fame coming in to “direct” the episode. This amounts to supposed behind-the-scenes footage of Tommy directing Tim & Eric in their sketch “Pig Man”, which Tommy takes over by replacing Tim and Eric with himself and Jessica Alba (not real).
There’s little documentary-style talking heads throughout, where Tim & Eric describe what went wrong. Tommy is also interviewed, but I think he’s being pretty genuine in his segments. Tommy getting mad at Tim & Eric is probably staged to some degree, but Tommy comes off genuinely controlling. Whenever Tim & Eric do their loud-whisper bit, Tommy immediately steps in and scolds them to stop, even though those are part of the scene outside of “the scene”. The set seems legitimately tense and awkward in certain moments, even though that’s what they probably set out to capture. 
Wiseau’s attempts at being funny are, of course, odd and troubling. If you’ve ever made the mistake of trying to watch his post-Room work where he’s actually trying to be funny, you already knew this. This footage must’ve been tough to salvage, but some moments are good, like Tommy calling cut during his talking head interview, which the editors spitefully left in. There’s even more of this stuff in the deleted and extended scenes, but there’s nothing too groundbreaking in there; it’s a lot of the same. 
The best part of the episode for me (when I saw this for the first time, I mean), was the baffling clip of The Room, which I had never heard of before seeing this episode. This, along with Adult Swim’s eventual airing of the film, got me into The Room. The clip they showed here probably comes off superfluous now that the film has reached more of a cultural saturation point, but at the time it was an unironic highlight and a revelation. I’m a The Room liker, what can I say? 
Other sketches: a middling song sung by a cast of Tim & Eric style freaks, singing about the “things (they) like”. This has some lines that are better on paper. This whole thing is sort of a miss. Fact is, this seems very derivative of “The Daves I Know” from The Kids in the Hall, and almost sounds like they maybe accidentally lifted the melody and had to make a last minute change to the music or something. I’m speaking as a person whose sincere attempts at writing comedy have yielded more than one “accidental” lifts from KITH. I can smell it form a mile away. I do like the sleepy guy transition they do at one point. That one dude was so sleepy!
There’s a Tim & Eric song about liking to pork. This is the sort of silliness I more associate with a season one episode. It’s fine, and I respect that they do stuff like this on television, but this didn’t set my world on fire. There’s also another installment of Afternoon Review (the talk show for women, but it’s footage of a weird guy doing something weird). This might be my least-favorite recurring sketch in the whole show. Hell, even just cutting to this footage without the jokey title card would be preferable. 
The best sketch in the episode is Fred Willard as the sole contact for a product called Mancierge. Business men call an overworked WIllard who sits in his office and tries to pour over various paper phone books while fielding multiple calls asking for things like good restaurants or dry cleaners. He’s in way over his head, and has some really funny lines. And the extended cut on the DVD is worth checking out. It’s probably also on Youtube. Seriously, I'm bad at linking to all the DVD extras that are on Youtube; I do it very sporadically. If you are looking for a DVD extra chances are some kind person has uploaded it somewhere, and you should look for it before committing to buying a used DVD if you are not a person who wants to buy and own DVDs.
I recall Tim talking about Fred Willard doing the show (probably on Office Hours, around the time he died). He said Fred was really pleased with the response his first appearance got. I think he thought it was cool that young people were recognizing him in public. He was definitely game to return, which is nice. I like to imagine Fred showing up to the set, dressed like a catholic school boy, clutching his over-break coursework. “I am ever so glad to return to your bosom.” It is a nice thought. Sadly, it will remain only a thought and he will never return. Fred Willard has passed. 
Tim, Eric, and Tommy were going to collaborate on Tommy’s “sitcom” The Neighbors, but Tommy wanted them to help with the script and production and stuff in order to help make it “good”. I recall Tim talking about it in a few places, saying that they intended to produce it but be completely hands off. I think they dodged a bullet, because that thing is borderline unwatchable. I attended one live showing of The Room, where Tommy was asked about working with Tim & Eric. He said it was fine, but they had creative differences before quickly moving on. LOL
MAIL BAG
Sorry I forgot to post Thursday Night. I forget why I forgot. We call that "big forget". Sorry I big forgot, everyone.
Zoe Lister-Jones is proof that Rashida isn't the only Jones that is ball-drainingly hot.
Disgusting, SEXIST remark. Using such foul words like "ball". But I agree, she's an extremely beautiful woman and I would be thrilled if she acknowledged me.
No, Jon Glaser didn’t recur on 30 Rock. He just appeared in the cold open of an episode that aired Oct 2009, months after this Delocated season 1. Sorry!
Do not be sorry! I was out of pocket there. I didn't watch 30 Rock, and I showed my dick to everyone. But I still have the vague sense that Adult Swim thought Delocated was like some kind of compliment to the NBC comedy night??? Like, they thought Delocated kinda-sorta resembled one of those shows, or that they had a shot at having some of that audience cross-over? Am I nuts?

Rewatching the Sequels; some notes
The sequels do a good job of showing how brutal the First Order is in a way the original trilogy never showed. These are supposed to be space not-sees and the sequels were the first to display their cruelty
Watch the Stormtrooper Paradox on YouTube, it explains my shared gripe of the idea that First Order stormtroopers are child soldiers being brushed off.
Kylo Ren is cool idgaf what anyone says. Phasma is cool. Hux is cool. Pryce is cool. The Praetorian Guard are cool. If you disregard everything else about Snoke he's cool. Btw they wasted Smoke, it would have taken one writers' meeting to come up with something better.
I didn't like how the Mandalorian just took Baby Yoda out of the plot line I thought wrapped everything up nicely but now I realise if Baby Yoda stayed with Luke then the implication is Ren killed him so nvm :)
Dave Filoni's work is really helping bridge the gap between the original and sequel trilogies
The battle of Crait although just a rehash of Empire Strikes Back is too cool to discount
The fact that Poe, Finn, and Rose's plan was the reason nearly half of the transports heading to Crait were destroyed was really interesting. If they hadn't separated they wouldn't have met DJ, and DJ wouldn't have told the First Order the plan. I wish they'd have given some guilt to the characters tho.
Holdo's sacrifice is super cool but I'm not sure about the scientifics of it all.
Being in the way of that battering ram should have given Finn some nasty burns at the very least, it was melting through metal.
Are Force projections mental or visual?? Because Ben and Rey could see each other but I don't think Luke saw Ben in the hut, which means it would have to be mental. Also C3PO saw the projection..? Palpatine had to be connecting Rey and Ben, not Snoke. If someone as powerful as Luke died by projecting himself, then there's no way Snoke would have had the power to connect two entirely different people.
Kylo Ren should have seen that the projection was fake because Luke has his lightsaber, which he snapped in half just thirty minutes ago. It could be miswritten, but I see it as Ren being so enraged that he didn't notice.
I wish they wouldn't have killed Luke, but I thought they did it right. I cried rewatching it, and I've seen the movie three times before this.
"Snoke trained you well." "I killed Snoke. I'll kill you." "You killed Snoke? Damn that's a shame, well good thing I got a jar of them right here!"
I don't mind force healing and blaster freezing, I just wish they'd tuck it into the story more neatly.
They did Rose dirty in ROS
I know Jakku already existed in legends, but Pasaana could have easily been Jakku or Tattooine.
Was the C3PO disrespect supposed to be funny? It wasn't.
Zorii should have died, her surviving literally served no purpose to the story, in fact he death would have served it better.
Domhnall Gleeson's acting is some of the best I've seen in Star Wars.
Rey Palpatine is stupid. It would have been nicer if Rey was just a nobody who became special because of her actions and determination, not bloodline.
Kylo Ren being stabbed by Rey and surviving actually makes sense because I can imagine the wound would be cauterised long enough for Rey to heal it
I think it would have been a satisfactory end if Rey and Ben Solo died
Some people are Finn x Rey, some people are Finn x Rose, we all know the truth is Finn x Poe
It's a shame Daisy Ridley's career hasn't had much luck, she's a good actor.
Rey should have said "Just Rey" in response to the old woman. She's taking agency of her own identity and not letting it be based off what other people tell her. She's not a Solo, she's not a Skywalker, she's not a Palpatine, she's her own person now.
The sequels just seem like they would have been better written by someone on AO3. They're not abysmally terrible, it's just hard to look past their shortcomings. The music, acting, and animation are the best parts.

OH BOY ITS HERE! I've unironically been WAITING for this Flash since I started my reread. On my first read, it was THE thing that made me decide Homestuck was really, truly worth the effort. Even now I still can't help but flip the fuck out over it, and Sburban Jungle (which, for the longest time, I read as Suburban Jungle) is the fucking awesome cherry on an even more awesome Flash. All of it, the tension, the timing, the art - it rules!
Okay, nerdery aside, let's break it down - and note the fact that this Flash has an image attached here. From now on, I'm gonna be snagging screenshots for particularly cool Flashes. Unfortunately, the availability of screenshots online is limited, the quality of the YouTube versions seems to be piss-poor, and timing the shots myself on the Collection would be very hard, so it looks like we're going to be sticking to random screenshots rather than my original idea which would have been to screenshot particularly cool shots and insert multiple per post. I might, however, break up the big shit like Cascade into multiple posts...and I'll definitely be doing that for Openbound.
Announcements disregarded for the moment, back to the epic shit. I love all the little picture-in-pictures sliding around the screen, showing what's happening to each kid as SBURB loads up - and Dave dramatically popping the lid off his apple juice is funny as shit. We see Jade waiting on a countdown, 'coincidentally' the same amount of time before Rose gets meteor'd. The SBURB logo appearing over the meteor is also cool as fuck, for the record, and Dave yeeting Rose's bed is funny. Also another instance of a character screaming at Dave through the sky outta frustration.
The wizard statue breaks, showing us just how it got to where we see it on the terminal earlier, Jade falls the fuck asleep, and Rose prototypes Jaspers! Fucking sweet. Then Dave prototypes the fucked-up doll Rose made (fucked up Princess doll my beloved), the bottle gets knocked off, and Rose makes the FUCKING EPIC LEAP OF FAITH that cemented my love for Homestuck on the spot when I first saw it. We also get the hilarious beginning of the story of the old Sassacre book...revealing Nanna wrote it after her death.
Rose is rescued by her epic little cat tentacle sprite, the countdown ticks, Rose acts - slamming her bottle against the ground to break it, coincidentally (or not) the exact same way Roxy's sylladex works. Jade also gets Dave's SBURB copies, that have been sitting there waiting for literal millions of years to pop out at the perfect time. Then we get a great little montage of John's progression, featuring him singlehandedly beating up the same kind of ogre that beat him up earlier, and leaping into his gate. Whew! A LOT happens!
It's a super fucking fun flash, and a favorite of mine :) I don't have much to say analytically, honestly, except to say that teamwork and friendship are great.

Watch "Billy Joel - The Downeaster 'Alexa' (Official Video)" on YouTube
youtube
This is one of the fishing vessels from deadliest catch. He says it doesn't look right and it doesn't look like the right boat and it's not it's Billy Joel who is BG who is going to try and salvage the hull and it's of his boat and in Charlotte harbor in that hull looks exactly the same our son says. It is the one from Gilligan's Island which hasn't happened yet and he rebuilds it from a different boat and he does do this trip from New York to Nantucket sound and he goes to Martha's vineyard and there's a reason for him doing it. And it says he's fishing for whales then it changes to minnows. Really he's going he's going to the two islands and it's symbolic and The vineyards and the other Island up there having symbolic for the two big ones for a long time. And he's doing it a little later on and they sort of figure out their screwed it's very slow
My son has found the song to be compelling and also inspiring. On the other side of the vineyard and Nantucket there would be of course the cape and then the bay inside the bay they say there is a thorium ball and his granddaddy researched it greatly and his wife's clan as well. And they say that clone brains look a lot like your brain and nobody can really verify it except the people that grab them and their idiots so this is a big worry that something happens differently than what they're saying even though they were on display that's after plasticization and you can't count on what you're looking at it's a different type of skin it also changes the shape and such and it's a stringent and the other material makes it look different and there are no real scars that they have because they got rid of them and you saw his mom with scars that she wasn't there so go figure she's not there in the future either matter of fact if you see him it's not active the museum is not active. And our son is correct and daughter in that they probably grabbed their bodies and you missed it and you're horrified we would too rather we grab them as well. So people want to go up there and look and he's saying he has one of the tugs what he has is one of his boats this later scene in Gilligan's Island and he says it makes sense to him cuz he used to say it to the long time I'm stuck in an island what can I do.
He really believes in it and he's singing his heart out and he should they were his father and mothers with his own abandons in them and hope that they died and used them to try and kill them was George and peacock found a use for them as long as he's useful and they still seem to be
Thor Freya
I named the boat Alexa it's after the elixir but really first it's after my wife she's a hot little number and so forth and he says not really to me but okay she's too numb skulls who can get it right they're in trouble but really it's not right what's going on here you force him to I see why you're fighting over it. And I know I know why he says much bigger than Dave and I can't believe it I see Mark ruffalo pretty much full power and is much bigger than he was as Lou ferrigno when he was working out. It's something to behold you'll think that it's insane he's so muscular that you want to cry it says he might fight one of his kids a little in the future and he loses badly. I also see something else the way the guy in the video is moving around it looks like our friend he doesn't want to hurt you he wants to see his huge and you say it I don't I don't want to fight you you're going to get hurt it sounds funny that can be changed and you looked at the voice and it's similar patterns in my Google say nobody does that to me so I'm doing too now to you now and my crucial kind of shook out of it and left so it's kind of weird he's defending his mom and he says it might be in someone's possessed but that's what I would be doing and all sudden I started to have a tear because I know what he's saying sometimes we get possessed by stuff we can do that I usually we don't look like someone else and I'll tell you what no one can give my crew full of beating Mark ruffalo cannot get a meeting if his human-sized and he is only about 7 ft no one can touch him yet this guy can thrash him and see what he's saying they're sitting on it when they're a little the governor's bunkers right next to it it's right in westborough and they did not want any of what anybody had. I'm going to check anyways but this is my vote and I'm going out there it's named after my wife and it's not Carmen Alexa it's Carmen Electra and Alexa is one of her characters and he's heard it before we can't place it. Let's keep it that way shall we

PURE [5] - Corpse Husband x Fem!Reader
A/N: It’s been a while.  
part 1
part 2
part 3
part 4
PURE [5]
“Did you guys find anybody?” Felix’s voice sounded out when the man repeated the same question for what seemed like the third time since he joined the call. The number of players showed 7 of them, which meant that they were still missing three people. Sure, they could start the game now, but it would be way more enjoyable and funny with a full lobby. 
“Yeah, Toast will be here any moment. “Sykkuno replied right away. “He just texted me; he should join us in a few.”
“Cool. Anyone else?” 
“I think Corpse was also supposed to join us, right? Not sure though why he isn’t here yet.” 
“Oh, yeah, Corpse will be here soon too!” Jack suddenly chimed in with an explanation. “He said he needed to take care of something first, but he’ll be here before we start.” 
“Great. But that means we’re still one person short.” Felix hummed when Toast’s little astronaut appeared in the lobby “Hey Toast."
“Hey man.”
“Do you have anyone coming?”
“I’m afraid not. I asked MrBeast, but he’s busy, so...”
“Well then, we can just start when Corpse is here, and maybe we’ll find someone in the meantime?” Dave suggested, earning a few hums of approval from the other players. 
“Yeah, I think that’s the best option...” Jack agreed. But then his voice blared out in everyone’s headphones with excitement. “Ha! Corpse is bringing someone!” 
“Who?” 
“I dunno, he just texted me he has one coming and that’s all.” 
“Hm, all right. Let’s wait then.”
***
Corpse fidgeted with his phone, glancing between its screen and the chat in his stream. People were already asking countless questions, but rather than answering them, he was waiting for Y/N to call him. He was nervous - the girl still hadn’t commented on his request. 
The idea to invite her to the lobby wasn’t spontaneous. In fact, he’d been thinking about it for quite some time now, but never found the courage to actually ask if she would like to join them for the game.
It’s been almost a month now since that memorable phone call. A month since Y/N last played with her friends; a month since she considerably reduced her social media usage. 
Sure, she was still active on her youtube channel, but not as much as before the whole haters situation. No matter how hard she tried to just ignore them and simply continue her career, she just couldn’t. There were still these nagging thoughts at the back of her mind, reminding her of all those people and their comments, their messages. It seemed like a good idea to take a short break and sort everything out.
Her fans understood it. They were obviously sad that her videos weren’t as frequent as before, but everyone knew what the situation looked like and that Y/N needed some time for herself. 
Her audience knew it, and so did her friends. Especially Corpse. 
The man kept his word and talked to the girl whenever she wanted to. Which, in the end, was almost everyday. Although at the beginning their conversations mostly focused on her current problem and dealing with it, their topics broadened over the time. 
At one point though, Y/N started worrying that maybe she’s annoying him with her so frequent calls. She thought that she shouldn’t bother him that much - even if talking to him was what really helped her cope with her problems. He already had enough on his plate, and sharing her own concerns with him suddenly seemed like a very selfish thing to do.
But she quickly realized how wrong she was for thinking like that. When one day she didn’t call, figuring out that she should stop troubling him with her own issues, she was very surprised when Corpse reached out to her himself. He expressed how worried he got when she didn’t call, and when she explained what was the reason, he spent the next fifteen minutes lecturing her that she should never think she’s bothering him. 
From that day on, they talked every single day. And they talked about almost everything.
Corpse enjoyed their late night-talks more than anything. He liked to listen to Y/N talk about the things she finds exciting, her hobbies, and her dreams. Hell, she could talk about what she ate for breakfast, and he would still listen with interest. 
And even though they haven’t seen each other in person, even though she still hasn’t seen his face, they managed to get really close during those past weeks. For an outside observer (who also didn’t have access to Twitter) they would seem like a couple of very good friends.
But not for Corpse.
He couldn’t pinpoint when exactly did it happen. They were talking one evening and Y/N was telling him about the TV series she had finished watching recently. He listened intently and watched as her facial expressions changed from excited to frustrated, as she was enumerating everything she liked and disliked about the series finale.
And then he suddenly got this weird feeling in the pit of his stomach, and simply couldn’t take his eyes off her. 
He tried to play it off and act as if nothing changed, but he couldn’t stop his heart from doing backflips whenever she laughed at one of his dumb jokes or called him partner. It was still a running joke between them and among the group of their friends, but there was something in the way she said it that made him instantly smile like an idiot. 
He also started paying more attention to the hashtags on Twitter and Instagram. #PartnersInCrime was still rather popular, even though it was a month since anyone last used this phrase on stream. Corpse also found out that #Y/Nforthebride was trending for some time; he even managed to stumble across a few fanarts. 
There was this urge to send them to Y/N, but he was too nervous that it would make things awkward between them... After all, he didn’t know how she felt about that whole shipping thing. 
That’s why he decided to just leave things between them as they are, and be happy that he’s at least her friend.  
Corpse nearly jumped out of his skin, when he was brought back to reality by the sound of an upcoming FaceTime call. Y/N’s photo appeared on his screen, her smiley face which he had assigned as her contact photo. His lips corners curled up in a smile almost unwittingly. 
“Hey Y/N/N” he said after answering the call. 
“Hi Corpse” she smiled softly upon hearing his voice. Although the screen on her side was dark, she didn’t mind not seeing Corpse’s face. She respected his wish to remain faceless and enjoyed their conversations anyway. 
“Whatcha doin’?”
“Just editing the new video. I guess I’ll upload it in the morning... but I’m not sure yet.”
“Well let me know then, I wanna be the first one to see it.” 
“Sure thing, Corpse” she chuckled, lowering her gaze bashfully. Corpse just looked at her face for a moment, unable to stop smiling to himself. Then he remembered why they were talking in the first place.
“So... have you seen my text?” Y/N sighed at his question but nodded her head slowly. “And what do you think?”
“I don’t know, Corpse...” she ran a hand through her hair in a nervous gesture. “...if that’s a good idea, I mean.”
“Well, it’s been a while. No pressure though, if you don’t wanna play then it’s totally fine.” he quickly clarified. “I just thought it would be fun if you joined us, even if just for a moment. I’m sure everyone would go crazy.” 
Her smile widened slightly at his words, but she still didn’t look convinced. Sure, it was tempting to join them. She wanted to do it each time Sean or Felix bombarded her with messages and codes to the lobby, both inviting her to join the group in the game. But then she remembered how people reacted to her appearance in their streams... and suddenly it didn’t seem like such a good idea anymore.
“We’re gonna play on Polus...” he added after a moment when she still didn’t say anything. “That one map with the planetary base... there’s a lava pit, y’know. Just saying...”
She laughed wholeheartedly at his words, remembering their last game when Corpse jumped into the lava for her. 
“Sykkuno’s gonna be there as well” Corpse continued. “And I promise I won’t kill you this time.”
“Even if I’m the last player alive?” she joked.
“Even then, Y/N.”
Corpse stifled a laugh, as she cocked her head to the side and narrowed her eyes slightly as if trying to spot him in the darkness. 
“Are you streaming, Corpse?” she then asked.
“Not yet. I’m gonna start the stream as soon as you say yes, though.”
“Oh c’mon” she laughed at his words “That’s emotional blackmail!” 
“Maybe. Is it working?” he asked.
Y/N let out a heavy breath and ran a hand down her face. Corpse watched in anticipation as she seemed to have some internal battle with herself. He hoped that she’s gonna agree, he really missed playing with her. 
“All right, then.” she suddenly said, and his breath hitched in his throat. “I’m gonna stay for a few rounds I guess...”
“Wait, really?” he asked, a smile on his face only widening. 
“Well, yeah, partner.” she replied, which made his cheeks go warm “Your imposter techniques haven’t been very effective lately... Someone needs to help you out, or you’re gonna lose your title of the king of the Imposters.” 
“Oh, is that’s how it is now?” he laughed in fake shock. “I wouldn’t have to worry about losing the title if my accomplice hadn’t left me all alone!” 
“All right, all right.” she giggled at his accusations. “Your accomplice is on her way to support you.” 
Corpse smiled even wider at the sound of her laughter. Her eyes shined with happiness when she was giggling, which only brought out their E/C color. The fact that his stupid babbling was the reason for her smile was making him feel extremely proud of himself.  
“But just so you know... I still have no idea how this map works, so I’m afraid I’m gonna need you to guide me around it...”
“Y’know you could as well just say you want to hang out with me...”
“Corpse!” she laughed, her cheeks blushing in embarrassment. 
“Just kidding Y/N” he chuckled at her reaction. “Of course I’m gonna guide you, don’t worry.”
“Okay then...” she said after a moment, looking at the screen again. “I’ll be there in a few minutes. Will you send me the code, please?”
“Sure I will, Y/N” 
“Okay. See you later, partner” she smiled brightly. 
“See you, partner.” 
When Y/N ended the call, Corpse let out a breath he didn’t know he was holding. He sighed in relief and ran a hand through his hair, before moving to sit behind his desk.
It was only after he started the stream that he realized he was blushing. Not only because Y/N would join them, but because there was also another thing he wanted to ask her about, but didn’t find the courage to yet...

By the time Y/N turned on her computer and started the game, Corpse has already sent her the code, and there was a Discord invite waiting for her as well. She bit her lip nervously as her heartbeat quickened. 
Was she nervous? As hell. 
She did everything she could to avoid being in unnecessary spotlight since she started receiving those hate messages. Perhaps escaping the problem wasn’t the best solution, but it definitely was a comfortable one. People wouldn’t have a reason to hate on her if she disappeared. 
But then she couldn’t say no to Corpse. And truth to be said - she really missed playing with her friends. From what she’d seen on Twitter, the lobby would be filled with those she’d already played with, so she wasn’t that nervous before the game. What she was nervous about though, was how people would react.
Accepting Corpse’s request was something she did due to the sudden rush of courage. And now there was no coming back.
She knew Corpse would understand if she changed her mind... but she heard how excited he was when she had agreed. She couldn’t do it to him. 
So, once she’d taken a deep breath and put her headphones on, Y/N accepted the invite and braced herself for the inevitable chaos that was bound to take place in the call. She decided to wait with joining the lobby though - at least until they realize she’s with them. 
“..the fuck you’re talking about?!” Felix’s voice was the first thing she heard, which made her roll her eyes with a smile. “It’s not my fault I sound like that! At least I don’t have a liar voice like Rae!” 
“HEY!” the girl yelled “I don’t have a liar voice!”
“You do, you’re using it even now!” Jack argued, much to Rae’s dismay. 
“What is going on here” Corpse’s deep voice sounded out suddenly. 
“Oh, you’re here! Finally” Sykkuno immediately welcomed him with his always happy voice. 
“Yeah, sorry that I’m late guys.”
“No worries, man” Pewdiepie spoke up again. “We were just talking about playing the voice card and that you’re basically the only one who can do it.” 
“Not fair at all!” Rae chimed in, making Corpse chuckle. 
“The voice card...” he hummed after a moment, before adding. “I wouldn’t really say I’m the only one though...”
“Well who else then? Everyone else either starts laughing or have a liar voice” Dave asked, and Rae scoffed at the last words.
“Well what about my guest?”
Y/N inhaled sharply, realizing that now she should probably reveal herself. 
“Oh, right! Who you’re bringing man?” Sean asked with curiosity.
That’s when Y/N typed in the game code, and her white astronaut appeared in the lobby. 
“Wait, who’s- HOLY SHIT” Sean all but yelled, when realization hit him. Y/N laughed loudly at his reaction, and her voice only seemed to prove to everyone that she really was there. 
“KIDDO WHAT THE FUCK” Felix reflected Jack’s response, yelling over his friend.
“Oh my god, hi!”
“What a surprise!” Y/N managed to catch Sykkuno’s words. “It’s so amazing to have you here, Y/N/N!” 
“As I live and breathe.” another voice spoke up, and Toast’s little astronaut came face to face with her white bean. “My lifelong nemesis. Back here snap my neck again, huh?”
“Yeah, happy to hear you too, Toast” Y/N giggled at his words, then she adressed the whole group. “Hi guys.”
“Okay I did not expect that in the slightest” Sean laughed happily “You’re here kiddo!” 
“I am” she smiled from ear to ear, even though they couldn’t see her. 
“Wait- Corpse, is that the thing you had to take care of?” her best friend asked Corpse with suspicious voice. 
“Well...” he trailed off and cleared his throat, making everyone laugh.
“That’s so great Y/N! We missed you so much!” Rae thundered over the bickering of the boys. “The game hasn’t been the same without you...”
“Agreed. I suddenly stopped dying.” Toast commented, making her roll her eyes with a laugh. 
“I don’t know if I should be happy or fucking scared right now.” Felix laughed nervously. “With Corpse and Y/N? We’re fucked now, guys.”
“I promise I’ll go easy on you, I haven’t played in so long I think I forgot all my strategies...” 
“Yeah, sure.” Toast’s forever suspicious voice made her smile wider. “Just don’t kill me in the first roung, okay? I won’t vote you off just stay the fuck away from me you little murderer.” 
“Okay, I promise I won’t kill you...” 
She couldn’t stop herself from laughing, and the smile remained on her face even when they started the game. It only seemed to widen, when she saw the sign Imposter on her screen. 
Only to giggle hysterically when she realized that Toast was the other imposter...
And so the game went on with Y/N and Toast cooperating like perfect serial killers. Corpse did as he promised and guided her through the map, both of them being closely followed by Sykkuno. Because of that she’d just sabotage the map most of the time to give Toast opportunities to kill their friends, but eventually managed to sneak out when her two fellow crewmates were doing their tasks. It just so happen that Pewds was walking past her, and she might’ve accidentally snapped his neck... 
“Goddamnit! I knew it! I fucking knew it was you!” Sean yelled once the game was over and Y/N saw the sign VICTORY on her screen, her small character standing next to Toast’s one. He was ejected at some point because Poki managed to walk in on him killing Rae, but Y/N remained undetected until the very end. Perhaps the fact that Corpse was one of the two crewmates who were left alive had something to do wtih it...
“That was rude” Pewds said in a whiny voice, clearly referring to their encounter which led to his death. “I was just happily walking around, doing my tasks like a good crewmate, and then boom! Y/N happened” 
“I would say I’m sorry... but I’m really not” she laughed, making Felix gasp in shock.
“That’s what happens when you work with Toast!” 
“Good game, Y/N. That was amazing” the man in question said appreciatively. 
“Will you finally forgive me for killing you that one time if I say that being imposters with you was cool?” she laughed nervously. 
“Actually... Yeah, I guess we can bury the hatchet now. AND we should team up more in the future.”
“Great!” 
“Excuse me, what?” Corpse’s voice made the whole lobby laugh. “I don’t remember us cancelling our partnership, Y/N.”
“Corpse...” 
“Are you trying to steal my accomplice from me Toast?” 
“Well she’s a great partner in crime after all...” Toast deliberately used the phrase, making Corpse gasp.
“Hey! She’s my partner! Find yourself your own, Toast” Corpse joked, making Y/N laugh bashfully, her cheeks warming up at his words. 
“Yeah yeah, I remember, don’t worry man. No one’s gonna take your partner in crime away from you...” Toast’s teasing voice made them all laugh, Corpse and Y/N included. 
For the next few rounds Y/N played as a crewmate, running around the map with either Corpse or Sykkuno and doing her tasks. During meetings they joked and laughed, and for a moment, she stopped thinking about what people watching her friend’s streams might think about her presence. After all, there was at least a small chance that they didn’t think about it at all, and simply enjoyed watching their favoirte youtubers. Just as she enjoyed playing with her friends. 
Oh, and by the way, Corpse kept his promise and didn’t kill her even when she was the last player alive...
It was soon time when everyone started slowly leaving the lobby, having played for over three hours. Y/N also said her goodbyes to the others and promised that she’d join them to play a game called Raft next week. 
When she turned her computer off and threw herself on her bed, Y/N immediately grabbed her phone to call Corpse. He answered right away. 
“Well hello, partner...” she rolled her eyes with a smile when he accented the last word. “Or should I say, traitor, instead?” 
“Corpse... you know I would never betray you...” 
“Well how can I be so sure, now that I know how cool it is to be imposters with Toast?” she knew he was joking, she could almost hear the smile in his voice.
“Not nearly as cool as it is with you, Corpse” Y/N grinned from ear to ear when Corpse scoffed. 
“I spare your life so many times and that’s what I get in return? You cheat on me with Toast?” he said in disbelief “I’m disappointed, Y/N, I really am.”
“I would never!” she laughed through her words, even though her cheeks were now red because of Corpse’s words. “You’re the best partner in crime, Corpse, I wouldn’t trade you for anyone else!” 
Not only in the game, she thought.
“Hmm, alright. Let’s say I believe you.” he said after a moment of thinking. 
“I mean it, Corpse...” Y/N said after calming down from her laughter. “I... I really wanted to thank you.”
“Thank me? For what?” he asked, genuinely surprised. 
“Well, first of all for inviting me to today’s game... I really had lots of fun, it was great to play and talk with the others. And I wouldn’t be in the lobby if not for you...” Y/N mumbled, before verbalizing her previous thoughts. “And I also wanted to thank you for just... you know... being my friend. My real life partner in crime. I just wanted you to know I’m really glad I met you...” 
Corpse was silent for a good few moments, and Y/N started panicking that maybe she said something wrong, or maybe he found her spontaneous confession funny, or worse, dumb. She was almost ready to somehow laugh it all off, when his voice cut her off.
“Thank you, Y/N. It really means a lot to me too.” he sounded like he had some troubles with speaking, which made Y/N furrow her brows in worry.
“Is everything okay, Corpse?” 
“Yeah, I...” he stuttered, then laughed nervously. “I just didn’t expect that and... yeah. It’s not something I hear on a daily basis, especially from someone like you.”
Someone like me? 
 “But what you said... it’s mutual.” he said after a moment, and Y/N couldn’t stop herself from grinning like an idiot. “You’re the best partner in crime I could ask for. And not only in the game.” 
She could as well just pass out there and there...
“So uhm... there was one thing I wanted to ask you...”
“Yeah?”
“I was wondering if maybe... you know, if you’d have some time... and if you’d want to of course... would you maybe like to visit me here in San Diego?”
Yeah, passing out seems like a good idea.

This is not the last part.

DaveFarts - Episode 0 “Dave, My Best Friend” [Episode List] Tim is 20-something (secretly) gay guy that also has a fart fetish, but he lives a generally normal life, hanging out with friends etc. He also shares a very strong friendship with Dave (who’s straight), a brother-like figure to him and also his best friend. But when Dave finds out that Tim has different “interests”, things get stinky (literally) and their friendship is put on test.
This can be considered the  “pilot” episode of the series. It was first posted in Summer 2014 on a fart fetish site.
PART I - Prologue
Hey! My name’s Tim. But let’s just get to the point: I’m gay and I also have a fart fetish.
I don’t even remember how it started.
When friends farts around me, I always pretend to hate that. Well, at first, I did hate that, but the more they farted on/near me, the more I started to enjoy it. It’s weird, I know, but I actually started to like the idea of getting farted on as I got older. YouTube was the first website that “helped” me with my fetish, as I discovered many videos with people farting, realizing that I was not the only one with this fetish.
I am aware that this is not something you can tell everybody, so it’s my deepest and darkest secret.
Not even my best friend, Dave, around my age (we’re both in our 20s -I’m a couple of months younger than him), is aware of my fetish. And that’s a good thing, since I don’t really want to scare him or worse. To be honest, it’s hard to keep a secret like this when Dave is around…
Let’s see.
Dave has always been my best friend since forever. He’s like a brother to me.
While we do share a lot of interests and quirks in our personalities, he’s much more extroverted than me and he also had a couple of girlfriends in the last few years. He’s very open-minded and it’s generally a very nice guy. We’re also quite different physically: I’m not exactly “short”, but Dave is quite taller than me. Also, while he’s not exactly an athlete, he’s generally fitter than me. I guess he was right when he called me “lazy” everytime I refused to follow him to the gym (never mind that he also got tired of that in a month)! Overall, our friendship is still going strong. We hang out a lot with the rest of our friends and we still do those “game-nights” (both retrogaming and recent-gaming -is that the correct word?) like we always used to do when we were younger, just the two of us.
He knows everything about me, except obviously my fart fetish, for obvious reasons. He’s straight and while very open-minded (he has other gay friends), I just don’t want to tell him. But the fact that Dave has always been “the gassy one” in our group of friends is not helping. Normally, you wouldn’t expect a guy like Dave to be “the farter” (in movies or Tvshows, the stinky one is usually -no offence- the fat guy or at least the chubby one), but he’s actually well-known for his blasts of gas since we were teenagers. Even today, when we’re just “all guys, no girls” hanging around or just talking to each other, he says things like (even when he’s the one talking) “Shhhhh… did you hear that?” so that everybody could hear his stinky and loud fart-masterpiece.
Granted, it’s not ALWAYS like that. He’s a funny guy but not rude or immature.
Dave is my best friend and brother-like figure for countless of reasons, but his talent is seriously messing with my head. I’m pretty sure he once told me (during one of our game-nights and right after he made my couch shake with one of his farts) that he could also fart on command.
In recent years I even started imagining him farting in my face; surprisingly, he only farted directly in my head/face a couple of times, but VERY often (like always) in my presence. In fact, our game-nights have always been “fart-nights” too. He’s like a living fart-machine sometimes. I love that, but I don’t want to ruin everything because of a weird boner.
Tonight we’re going to do another game-night. As usual, we will be home alone, in my living room, sitting on the couch, playing videogames, talking, having fun, drinking beer or whatever I have in the fridge, just the two of us. And I know that, tonight, he’s going to fart a lot like always. Let’s just hope that he doesn’t realize that I actually want him to sit on my face and rip one of his loud farts on my nose…
PART II - Dave’s Secret Move
I’ve always been nerd-ish. Nah, I’m a complete nerd when it comes to videogames. I own almost every console made since the 80s. I’m not into the Console War: I’m above it. Nintendo, Sega, Sony, I don’t care. Each of them made incredible games (maybe not always at the same time) and, to be honest, I think they’re some kind of geniuses.
Me and Dave have always been proud gamers and videogaming itself is actually one of the biggest pillars in our friendship. When we do those game-nights, we simply activate our “nerd mode”. Growing up, during the game-nights we also started to drink beer, eating… “food” etc, but the “nerd mode” didn’t change a bit.
The same can be said for Dave’s farts, bigger every year; his farts can be considered some kind of gross “ambient music” for our game-nights. No, seriously. It’s not like we interrupt the gaming for his farts: Dave simply rips them while talking or playing and we both (even me!) ignore it, since it’s perfectly normal by now (we do laugh a bit when the fart gets a bit too loud or long though). He would sometimes say things like “Nobody can escape my farts!” and rip good ones, but other than that, as I said, we just ignore his gas.
Now here I am, alone (my parents are away for a couple of days). A rare “completely-alone” game-night. We can eat, scream, laugh as long as we wish because we’re completely alone for the whole night. As usual, I bought a couple of beers (it’s my turn this time) and around 9,000 tons of junk-food. All of my consoles are waiting for us in my living room, right in front of the couch, with a big HD Tvscreen above them: one big Cathedral of Videogaming made possible by my maniacal money-saving habits.
Eventually, Dave finally arrived, late as usual (around 15 minutes late, but that’s OK, we have the whole night).
He bought more beers and junk food and looked more excited than me. We’re in our 20s but those game-nights keep getting better and better, a nice break from our usual “young adult” stuff.
It was almost summer, so it was not a cold night. I was simply wearing a white shirt and sweatpants. Dave was a bit more “complex”: he had a green shirt instead and was wearing a pair of loose jeans. Dressed like that, and thanks to his shoes, he almost looked like some kind of skater-guy, even though he was not (he did try once! -and about one broken leg later, he gave up).
“Stop eating that. Your boyfriends are waiting for us!”
Dave was already sitting on his side of the couch. The “boyfriends” are, obviously, my consoles. I stopped eating chips and all that junk that was in the kitchen and I sat on my side of the couch, bringing two beers. We immediately started to play mindlessly, chatting about various stuff, videogames, exams, even politics sometimes. Typical game-night.
After one hour, I felt a vibration on my side of the couch. It was always a nice surprise to hear Dave’s farts. I quickly looked at him, farting like it was none of his business. It lasted around 5 seconds and it was great. He did smile a bit and we both laughed. He looked at me, smiling: he was a proud farter. As I said, typical game-night.
After a couple of minutes we eventually got very involved in one fighting, Mortal Kombat-ish videogame. I was beating him and I almost thought the he just didn’t want to play anymore and he was still holding his joypad to make me happy; not at all: it was serious business to him.
“You’re cheating, right?” he asked.
“No, you’re just a scrub…” I replied, with a grin.
“How dare you?!”
During one match I was actually struggling but I could beat him one more time. We both laughed as I punched him more and more: he was my b*tch (in the videogame at least). Dave laughed as he slowly got up, still playing the videogame.
“Dude! What are you doing?!” I asked.
“I’m unlocking a secret move!” he said, laughing.
After a few seconds, I could feel a hand gently pulling my head: it was Dave’s left hand. I didn’t realize what was happening at first, until I ended up with my head completely planted in Dave’s butt in loose jeans. It was soft and I felt the rough surface of his jeans in my face, still quite smelly for his previous fart. I was still holding my joypad and I could hear him laugh a bit. I felt his muscles relaxing as his hand was now pushing my face in his butt.
And then the fart began.
And I couldn’t believe it.
Time seemed to slow down as I felt an earthquake all over my face. My ears almost exploded as I heard this loud, deep chainsaw-like noise. The smell immediately engulfed my defenseless nose. I tried to look up as the fart was still blasted in my face: all I saw was was a glimpse of the Dave’s belt (right above the jeans) and his green shirt (and the rest of his butt of course). I then closed my eyes as the sound was still ear-shattering. His left hand was still pushing me. It was long, loud. It was awesome. After 6 seconds, the fart was still going strong. Despite that loud noise, I could hear Dave laugh a bit. At this point I didn’t even realize that I was still holding the joypad or that there was a videogame on. All I could see was Dave’s butt in my face. After 5 more seconds, the fart started to fade out, ending with a funny duck-like sound. My friend’s hand gently pushed me on the couch.
The TvScreen was showing a “Player 2 - Wins!” sign: Dave won. Still standing up, he turned around, with a smirk, and as he saw my dazed face, he bursted into a laugh, while collapsing on the couch, making even me bounce a bit.
The smell was still there, all over my face. I could still hear that beautiful sound in my ears. I couldn’t believe it: Dave, my best friend, ripped one of his well-known enormous farts in my face.
“Sorry man! You know, nobody can escape my farts!” - he said, laughing - “That was my secret move!”
I immediately “woke up” and quickly thought what to say. Still dazed, I just wanted to say “Amazing fart, Dave!”, but I couldn’t. Not me, at least. Not even sarcastically.
“Let’s just hope that you don’t know any other secret move” - I said. Brilliant. He will never know I loved it.
We both laughed. But he laughed a bit longer than me.
He was just smiling now, looking at me with a smirk. Still sitting, he slightly lifted his butt in my direction, ripping another loud fart. It was not very long this time, but seeing both his face and his butt farting was incredibly beautiful. He laughed again.
In the meantime, I grabbed the nearest pillow and I used it to hide the biggest boner I ever had.
I didn’t want to “f*ck” Dave or anything: it was his farts that made me… excited.
I thought I made it, but Dave wasn’t stupid. He knew I was hiding something.
Still smiling, he got up and then sat on the small coffee table, almost in front of me. He looked serious but also amused. He didn’t say a word for almost a minute, like he was waiting for something. I tried to ignore this whole situation by grabbing my joypad and offering a rematch. But he didn’t move. He wasn’t serious: he just had this amused-ish look on his face.
*Enough with this farce*, I thought.
He knows. Well, at least, he suspects it.
I tried to put myself in his shoes. I imagined myself as a straight guy (like him) and my best friend just had a boner because I farted in his face. I was now scared: there’s no way that Dave was going to accept (or even forgive) me.
I was ashamed. But this time, there was no escape.
I had to tell him.
PART III - Dave’s Talent
“D-Dave… I’m sorry” I said, breaking the silence.
I slowly pushed away the pillow, revealing a tent in my sweatpants.
“I’m sorry. I’m really sorry!” I said, again, and again.
“Tim…” he replied. I ignored him.
My boner calmed down and I finally got up, like I was still trying to get away from that situation. I started slowly walking around in the living room, while Dave was still sitting on that table, looking at me, puzzled.
“I-I’m sorry! Oh my… I can’t believe this is happening…”
“Tim, listen…”
“No, Dave. No. Why are you even smiling? I-I’m so sorry, Dave.”
Ashamed, I was still walking around, almost panicking, with my hands in my hair. It’s like I was finally realizing what it was happening and it was like living in a nightmare.
My worst nightmare.
Dave was now standing near me as I still said “sorry” over and over. I didn’t have the guts to look at him.
“Tim, I’ve always knew you were-”
“Don’t say it, Dave. Please, not you.” I said. My eyes got wet.
In silence, I sat once again on the couch. I just wanted to wake up from that nightmare. Dave followed me and simply sat on the other side of the couch. The videogame was still saying “Player 2 - Wins!” but we both ignored it.
“Tim, I always knew you were… different” he said.
I looked at him. He was serious, still slightly amused, but he was being serious now.
“Tim. We’ve been hanging out since forever. I know you too well…”
“So… you know” I said, mindlessly grabbing a joypad.
Dave took a big breath (and so did I). He still had that amused-ish look on his face. He wasn’t faking it.
“Come on, Tim. We saw each other naked so many times!” he said, laughing.
I just wanted to die in that moment.
“See? This is why I was keeping it a secret!” I said. “Yes, we saw each other naked. We did a lot of things together. We hugged each other! And now all you can think is that I just want to f*ck you-”
But Dave immediately sat next to me.
And hugged me.
“Tim, see? I’m hugging you! I don’t care! I don’t give a shit about what you’re saying!”
I just stood there, frozen and embarrassed. I gently pushed him away.
“Dave, please, believe me. You’re like a brother to me. Yes, I’m… gay, but I don’t want to f*ck you or-”
“Tim! I don’t care! Nobody cares! I know you don’t want to fuck me! It’s OK!” he said.
Was he accepting me?
“This changes everything” I said.
“This changes nothing, Tim”.
“If you want to leave, I’ll understand. Our friendsh-”
“Tim, please! That’s ridiculous. You’ve always been like… this!” he said, slightly annoyed. “I told you that I always knew you were different, and yet here I am!” - he added.
I took a big breath and looked at him. I couldn’t believe this was happening. This was our final game-night.
“H-How did you find out…?”
“I always suspected it. You’ve always been kind of gay after all…” he said, laughing a bit.
I tried to smile, but I was too ashamed. This whole situation couldn’t possibly get more embarrassing.
“You think that I’ve never noticed your awkward boners in all these years?”
It just did. If there was a bottomless pit in my living room, I would just jump in that, like a suicide-Super Mario.
“Dude, we used to wrestle like idiots!” he said, laughing.
“I-I remember…”
“Of course you do…”
“There. You see? Believe me, I don’t-”
“Tim, I would get a boner too if I was wrestling with a girl!” he said.
“B-but… t-that’s… t-that’s normal…” I replied.
“Please, don’t even start with all of this ‘I’m not normal’-crap…”
As I said, Dave was very open-minded. I knew that he didn’t have any issues with gay guys. But this time, I was the “gay guy”. The fact the he’s always suspected my homosexuality, for some reason, made everything much more embarrassing for me. “Retrospectively” embarrassing -if that makes any sense.
“I-I just don’t want you to see our friendship as one big, long m-misunderstanding…”
“What’s that supposed to mean now? Tim, I said-”
“Dave, please. I’m gay and this is retrospectively embarrassing for both of us”
Dave simply laughed, amused “Retro-what? Are you even listening to yourself?”
“We saw each other naked. We hugged a lot of tim-”
“Tim, please. Not this whole 'hugged you’-thing again. I don’t care!” he said, patiently.
I just didn’t know what to say anymore. I never imagined this to happen anyway, so I wasn’t prepared. Dave, on the other hand, looked much more ready than me. He was not lying: he knew I was different.
“Tim, you’re wasting your game-night. I’m still here, see? I already told you I’ve always suspected it -and I was right. If I ever had any problems with you, I would have ended this friendship a long time ago!” he said. He was serious.
“Dave, I-I…”
“Tim, you’re like a brother to me. Don’t even think to end this friendship because you’re too embarrassed to even look at me! This changes nothing.”
“I-I don’t want to end our-”
“Great, that’s what I want to hear. I swear, don’t even think about it. Do you think you’re the only one who cares about our friendship?” Dave was serious now. “Years ago it was terrible and I didn’t have any real friend until I met you. D-Do you realize how much time we spent together since then? Do you realize that you’re a big part of my life? Do you even realize that when I lost my virginity, you were the first guy I called? And I was already suspecting that you were gay back then!”
I took another deep breath and I looked at my friend. He was serious. He truly cared; I felt bad for a moment: of course he cares! We’ve been best friends for more than a decade.
He then gave me a pat on the shoulder and smiled again.
“Come on… it’s OK, Tim! I know you’re scared, but don’t ruin everything…” he said.
I finally smiled too. “T-Thanks, Dave”
We hugged each other and I almost wanted to cry.
Dave accepted me and, really, nothing changed.
Ironically, our friendship got even stronger after that.
There was a long minute of silence. We simply grabbed our joypads, ready to resume our game-night.
“Oh, Tim…” Dave said.
“What?” I asked.
“I almost forgot…” he said, with a smirk.
Still sitting next to me, I could feel his muscles relaxing once again as I heard it. Another beautiful-sounding fart. The couch was vibrating: it was powerful as usual. While farting, Dave leaned a bit, pointing his butt in my direction. The sound became much more clear and it was amazing. I didn’t know what to do or where to look. I looked at his butt and then his face, smiling at me, amused. After almost 6 seconds, the fart ended, and Dave sat once again normally.
I was speechless. Dave looked at me and laughed again.
I instinctively tried to hide my boner, but that made Dave laugh even more.
“ahah, dude. I knew you were weird too…” he said, smiling at me.
Again, I felt ashamed. I started to say once again “Sorry” and all that stuff.
“That’s disgusting, man” he added. However, he was still smiling.
“Oh my Gosh, Dave. Oh my-” I was almost having a panic attack now.
Dave was just sitting there, next to me, smiling, amused, looking at me. He laughed a bit more.
I could feel the smell around the couch but it wasn’t as bad as you might think, for now at least.
“ahah. You liked it. I knew it!” he said, still laughing. A lot.
I actually smiled a bit too as I realized that he wasn’t really laughing AT me, but WITH me.
“S-Sorry, Dave. Yes I l-liked that…” I said. Very brave of me.
But he became suddenly serious, looking at me annoyed.
“That’s gross, Tim. I really should have ended this friendship years ago, after all…”
I didn’t have the time to feel my heart break in a million pieces as I felt more vibrations instead. Dave tried to keep a serious/angry face as he ripped one more fart next to me, but he eventually lost it and started to laugh again, while still ripping a good one; it was shorter than the previous one, around 4-seconds this time.
The smell was now stronger and so was my boner.
“Sorry, Tim. You know me: nobody can escape my farts!” he said, smiling. He was a proud farter.
We both laughed but there was another awkward silence after that.
“Well, at least I’m glad there’s someone who appreciates my talent ahah!” he jokingly said.
“Yeah. Sorry, man. Can we just pretend nothing happened?” I asked, hoping that he would just ignore my fetish.
“Are you sure? ahah. I’m feeling a big one coming and I don’t really want to waste my gas on this couch…” he said, amused.
I just didn’t know what to say.
“D-Dave, please. You don’t have to”
“Shut up” he said, almost whispering,
I could hear him taking off his shoes. While laying down on the couch, he slowly lifted his legs. His right leg gently brushed against my hair and I could feel him put it between the couch’s seatback and my own back. He then put his other leg on my chest. I was somehow “trapped” between his legs. Dave was taller than me so I had no way to escape in any case: his legs were just too long to avoid.
I felt totally immobilized and I couldn’t move. I looked at him, dazed. He simply smiled at me and laughed a bit.
He made a funny face, like he was saying “Get ready!” and I almost passed out because I couldn’t believe what was happening. I felt his legs pulling me under his body. Time seemed to slow down as I noticed that he was also lifting his butt. In a few seconds, he “gently wrestled” me (does it even make sense?) in front of his butt. In that position, his butt looked like a “wall of jeans”. I don’t know how to describe it: his loose jeans made the butt look a lot bigger and my face was nothing compared to that. Dave’s legs were still pulling me down as my face was now only inches away from his butt. I instinctively sniffed a bit and I felt his previous farts’ beautiful smell. Dave laughed again as he gently planted my face in his butt.
“Want to see another secret move?” he asked, laughing.
I couldn’t believe it.
I couldn’t even talk or say anything because my face completely planted in his butt. The rough surface of his jeans was tickling my nose and the smell was still there. A few seconds passed and my dick almost exploded when I felt Dave’s butt “growing” and relaxing its muscles.
And then I felt it all over my face.
It was like a blast of wind, an explosion, an earthquake.
Ear-shattering, loud, deep and beautiful: Dave was the fart-master.
I could feel my face vibrate as Dave ripped this fart in my face. The sound was “classic”, it almost sounded like a fake fart, but trust me, it wasn’t. The smell immediately engulfed my face, my hair and the entire couch as Dave’s legs slowly let me go, but I didn’t move. I did not want to. That was beautiful. The fart was great, but the fact that it was Dave’s fart made everything better. Not even in my wildest dreams I could imagine having a best friend like him.
After 10 seconds, the fart finally started to lose power. I slowly pulled my head away from his butt, but not too much, as I was loving all of that: I wanted to admire that butt. Seconds felt like minutes as I didn’t hear any reaction from Dave. I immediately sat down, dazed, and right behind that “wall of jeans” I saw Dave’s face: he was laughing like he rarely did. Indeed, he does find farts funny.
“D-Dave?” - I asked.
“Dude! That was incredible! Are you ok?” he asked, waving his hand: the smell hit him too.
He didn’t change position and he was still “showing off” his butt in my direction. I guess I looked at it a bit too much because he laughed a bit more. He looked at me, smiling. I didn’t even try to hide my boner this time.
“Did you like it?” he asked, but he already knew the answer, obviously.
He then sat next to me again, crossing his legs in a yoga pose, “hiding” his butt.
“D-Dave, I-I’m sorry”
“Dude, for what? Because you like sniffing farts?” he said, straight to the point, but laughing about it.
“Yes.” I simply replied, ashamed.
“It’s OK, Tim. You’ve always been the weird one”
I looked at him, he was just smiling. I couldn’t believe that he just farted in my face like that.
“Tim, seriously, it’s OK, don’t worry. It’s me, your best friend…” Dave was being serious again.
“P-please don’t tell anyone…” I asked.
“Of course. But now I’m the one asking you to carry on like nothing happened…”
Dave took a big breath. I was confused.
“Tim, I know you: you’re shy, insecure. But you shouldn’t. Don’t even think that I don’t want to be your friend anymore because of… this. As I said, you’ve always been kind of weird, but that’s what friends are for…”
I looked at Dave and my eyes got wet.
“A friend is the man who knows all about you…” I said.
“…and he still likes you” he continued.
“Elbert Hubbart” I added. Dave laughed.
“See? You’re also the smart one!” he said, smiling. “I knew you were different and I knew there was something going on… down there. ahah”
I guess Dave was perfectly comfortable with his own heterosexuality so he didn’t feel his “manliness” threatened by me or my “wishes” (if that makes any sense). Nice, cute and open-minded: I can’t believe his last girlfriend broke up with him after only six months. He’s an amazing guy and he’s always been.
“D-Dave… I-I don’t know what to say…”
“Oh, you’re going to cry now? You’re gay, not a girl. You can still be a man!” he said, jokingly, fully aware of the outdated gender roles.
We both laughed a bit as we hugged one more time.
“Dude, you might want to get a shower. Your hair smells like crap!”
“That’s because your farts are incredible… ahah” I replied.
He looked at me, with a smirk. “Only the best for my best friend!” and he smiled.
Dave quickly laid down on the couch and lifted both his legs. I was puzzled.
His butt was facing up and funny sounds started to come out.
“Dude! What are you doing?!” I asked, confused but laughing.
“Shhh… just listen…” he whispered.
PRRT PR PT PT PPFFFFF And other weird sounds.
And then I remembered. Dave could also fart on command. So he wasn’t lying.
“I’m brewing a big one…” he said, trying not to laugh.
“Dave, thanks. But why can we just…” he was still making weird sounds.
“wohoho… man, come here, quick…” he said.
“W-what?!?” - I was surprised.
“Come here! Listen…” he said, waving his hand.
I just didn’t what to say, again. It was like my wildest dreams. He was still lifting his legs and the whole situation kinda looked like those “fart on command” videos from YouTube. I slowly put my head closer and closer to his butt, now slightly sagging, showing off a glimpse of his black boxers. The smell was incredible, but those weird sounds were not “farts”: he was actually sucking air in his butt!
“Oh my… ahaha” I couldn’t help but laugh, with my head very close to his butt.
“ohhh… this is going to be huge, man…” he said.
I saw his legs coming down a bit and the sounds stopped. I felt his left hand touching my head as he started to push my face in his butt, spreading his legs wider, showing off his sagging butt in jeans.
“D-Dave, than-”
“Shut up and enjoy the music” he said, laughing, still gently pushing my face.
Indeed, it was a beautiful “music”.
Another fart came out. This was quite different, maybe because it was not completely “natural”, as it was the result of Dave’s unique talent. It was still loud and going strong, but it felt less wet, yet still very beautiful. It lasted around 7 seconds. I sniffed a lot and I heard Dave laugh, as usual. He let my head go but we both didn’t move. He slightly changed his legs’ position and started to suck air again. I just stood there, with my head planted in his butt.
After a couple of seconds, he farted again, loud and powerful.
He was like Will The Farter, or something like that. Or even better. He zig-zagged between sucking air and actual farts: I loved all of that. His butt was like a pillow for me and I loved how he simply let me sniff his gas.
It was beyond my wildest dreams and he really proved to be my BEST friend, no matter what.
He accepted me, farts or not.
After a fourth big fart in my face, I simply stopped sniffing and sat on my side of the couch, with a smile on my face. I wanted to stop, because Dave is my best friend for countless of reasons, not just farts. Also, I actually really wanted to continue my game-night with him, as a friend would do.
He then sat normally too, laughing, right after one last fart.
“I guess that was a bit too much even for you…” he said, jokingly.
“You’re the fart master, Dave. But you already knew that”
“Don’t be such a brown-noser… no pun intended ahah!”
We both sat normally on the couch and grabbed our joypads. I tried to ignore my boner (with my penis almost exploding in a cloud of “white dust”), despite the beautiful fart experience and the smell still engulfing the entire room. Dave, on the other hand, completely ignored it and after a few minutes he changed the subject, resuming our “default” game-nights talking.
Nothing changed, indeed.
He acted like nothing happened. We ate junk food and had more beers together, playing videogames.
I guess that’s what best friends are for, after all.
Dave, my best friend.  My brother-like, funny, open-minded and gassy best friend.
The End

You Never Notice
Sykkuno x Reader (Female)
Warnings: None
Genre: Fluff
Summary: The center of someone’s world is never aware of their importance even when everyone else is in the know. People are hard to understand, no denying, but if we all spilled our truth like how Y/N admitted her feelings to Sykkuno, mutual understanding would be achieved a lot more easily. JK, she needed an eternity and maybe a thousand pushes. What’s important is the result though, right?
Requested by Anon. You are my first Sykkuno request and I wish I could thank you with a tag. Instead, I’m gonna thank you with a fic in which I put my all. Thank you for the request, hope the final product doesn’t let you down. 🥰
Here we go again. Sykkuno’s love life is brought up. This time it’s more frustrating cause I can’t shout how wrong he is about himself and the effect he has on the people around him. He has no room to speak, he hasn’t experienced what I have - one of your best friends living in your head rent-free because you’re just that whipped by them. That’s right kids, some of us never grow past the middle school crushes - they are a constant for some. That can be a good or a bad thing, it completely depends on how you view it.
Currently, him and Rae are addressing some dating rumors that started spreading about them earlier this week while Felix, Sean and I are kicking each other’s butts in Party Animals. We’re not all playing together, actually, we were all playing different games when we hopped into the call and just grouped together after playing solo got boring. Rae and Sykkuno are playing Among Us on a random server, her being the only person who’s streaming right now. She said she just wanted to clear up the dating rumors cause they were annoying to see popping up on her feed on every social media platform she’s active on.
“It’s ridiculous, really. People just look for online personalities to put in imaginary relationships. Are they that bored? I know quarantine is getting to everyone, but damn“ Rae says, laughing a bit to take the edge off her words but I know she’s bothered by this ordeal more than she’s letting on. I know how much it bothers her when people ship random youtubers and streamers together, even when she’s not involved. 
And I agree. Ever since I started streaming I’ve been shipped with my friends left and right. First Corpse, then Dave, Joel...you name them. It gets kinda gross cause these people are legit like siblings to me. Unlike Rae, though, I don’t waste my breath trying to clear those ‘talks of the net’ up. I don’t know if it’s for better of for worse that I remain silent on the issue when I’m involved but am willing to stand up for my friends when they find themselves in a similar situation. Some people think the reason I don’t share my thoughts is because the rumors are true, but the hint is most often taken, resulting in the ship ending. Well, that ship ending, there’s always a new one popping up. As Rae said, it’s ridiculous.
“Why does everyone think I am ever dating anyone? I’ve already commented on this: no one would date me.“ Sykkuno says through a sigh-like laugh.
“Why are you so sure?“ I blurt out without as much as a second thought
My eyes widen just a bit, just a bit. I’m not too surprised with myself. I am slowly losing control of my raging emotions and I’m afraid of what I’ll turn into when all my restraints snap. A mess, that’s the most likely answer.
“Well....“ Sykkuno trails off, clearly more than a little nervous, “I don’t have a girlfriend right now, and I haven’t had one in a while...Nor has a girl shown any interest to be more than friends with me in what feels like forever.“
“I’m sure you just don’t notice the hints girls drop. We can be pretty subtle.“ I try to sound as nonchalant as possible while I’m still in my panicked animal mode. And by animal I mean a cub. A scared cub that is now showing confidence but will run and hide right afterwards. I silently thank the universe that I’m not streaming right now. I can feel the heat on my neck and cheeks which is pure embarrassment and would have been more than evident on-camera.
“Yeah Y/N’s right, Sykkuno. Girls can be very subtle, but they will always let you know if they like you, even through the smallest of gestures. You gotta keep your eyes open.“ Rae backs me up reassuringly.
“Guys never notice anything.“ I say, rolling my eyes. I feel the pressure lessen thanks to Rae’s involvement in the conversation.
“That’s not true.“ Sean protests, “We pay close attention, especially to girls we are attracted to.“
“Yeah!“ Sykkuno pipes in again, “I’m pretty sure I would notice if a girl was dropping signals that she likes me.“
Now that stings. That legit makes me wince and cringe as though his voice delivered an actual physical hit to my chest and stomach. It’s really unpleasant, painful even.
“You never notice.“ There’s something about this triple opportunity - proving him wrong that he’d catch onto a girl’s signals; proving him wrong that girls aren’t attracted to him; coming clean about the biggest emotional struggle I’ve experienced in recent years; - that snaps my last emotional restraints. I will totally regret this later, but after the regret comes the relief which is 100% worth it. 
“What?“ He sounds very puzzled. I can just about imagine him frowning as he tries to wrap his brain around something even I can’t wrap mine around.
“You say you’d notice a girl’s hints of attraction. OK.“ I nonchalantly throw Felix off the submarine in Party Animals while I keep talking, “Would you notice if a girl purposely doesn’t kill you in Among Us when she’s impostor? Or would you notice that a girl always sends you links to videos she finds funny? Or that she always shares music and movie recommendations with you and you only?“ 
Dead silence ensues. I feel like they have all glitched, considering Sean didn’t even try to put up a fight when I lifted him and threw him in the ocean as I previously did with Felix’s avatar.
Maybe I was a tad too specific and made the whole situation hit a little too close to home for me. 
Sykkuno and I have become really close friends and we chat and play games regularly. As I mentioned, I give him movie and music recommendations and I only recently started acknowledging the fact that I’ve never killed him in Among Us. Natural instinct I guess. In fact, I feel the need for vengeance when he’s killed. I refuse to even vote for him unless it’s absolutely necessary.
Now that I think about it, it’s not his fault he has no clue. I just don’t know how to properly drop hints.  
“Um...I mean, I guess I would notice but I’d never think they are that type of hints.“ He finally replies.
On point there, dear. On damn point.
“What does it take for you to be convinced that a girl is into you?“ Who cares that a bunch of people are about to witness this outpour? It’ll make it more real, yes, but it will also help me believe that it happened so I don’t try to crawl back to the point where return is an option. No return now. You’ve already passed two thirds of the way. The last one will set you and your mind free. 
“The only way I can be sure is if she tells me, really.“ He sounds so nervous and shy, like he’s trying to draw as little attention as possible.
He doesn’t have to worry. I’m about to pull all the attention on me.
“Well in that case....you leave me no other choice.“ My screen displays me as the winner of this round of Party Animals - an easy one considering my friends are glitched in real life. “I like you, Sykkuno. I like you a lot. And I know you will see it from every context except the one its meant to be in so I’ll be even more head-on - I’ve liked you, as more than a friend for quite some time now, but buddy, you can be sooo oblivious sometimes. Anyway...“ Here’s that regret I was talking about, it’s already creeping in. “Don’t feel the need to say it back. I don’t wanna hear it if you don’t mean it. And Rae,“ I can’t help but laugh at the thought, “Sorry for making your chat go crazy. Peace!“
And I disconnect from the Discord call.
“See? That wasn’t so hard, was it?“ I say out loud, staring at my desktop. “The cat’s out of the bag and you can move on now.“
I push myself to get some work done in order to get my mind off the mess I’ve created. I’m afraid of thinking about it, I know I’ll get too upset to do anything with the rest of my day if I do.
Suddenly, just as I’m about to open my email, my phone chimes. My brain doesn’t bother to stop my arm from automatically reaching out and checking the notification. A message.
From Sykkuno.
~ I knew you didn’t suggest me ‘My Best Friend’s Wedding’ for no reason
Me ~ So...?
~ So, I’m not the only oblivious one here, Y/N
Me ~ Wait WHAT?
~ ‘Nick And Norah’s Infinite Playlist’?
Me ~ Oooohhhh...I see
It takes him a few seconds to reply, the bubble with the three bouncing dots popping up and disappearing a few times now. I just now feel my heart banging against the inside of my ribcage, my pulse echoing in my ears.
He did seem a little too eager for me to watch that movie...
~ So, movie date?
I laugh, wholeheartedly and honestly. Genuine joy running through my veins.
Me ~ So it is.
The grin that is now decorating my features promises to stay there for the rest of the day. I bite my bottom lip at the thought that pops into my head.
Me ~ Phew, I can stop sparing you in Among Us from now on
He sends me three cry-laughing emojis in return, but I don’t need those. I can just imagine him laughing as he usually does with one hand covering his mouth. And here I thought my grin couldn’t grow wider.
 Imagining him happy makes me smile. His happiness makes me happy. He makes me happy.
Even better...
I think the feeling’s mutual.

Action Button Review
Review
Tim Rogers reminds me of Hank Green. They are about the same age, they look about the same age which is a combination of young and old that feel eternal. They also have the same length of experience in writing in online spaces, interest in Japanese media, and apparently have Crohn’s disease? In summary, he might be the closest equivalent to Dave Green that exists in the real world. Well, I guess Dave Green is not apt, as Dave Green is not special in a way, while Tim Rogers is special, but his speciality comes from his failures rather than his counterparts' success.
Tim Rogers is a hypothetical Green brother who did not decide to publish that book. He’s a hypothetical Green brother who went to Japan instead of Alabama or Florida. Whose project crashed and burned rather than a surprise success. He’s forged in fire while the Green brothers are eroded by water. Both are wonderful people, but with a different ground of intensity and differing wealth of wisdom.
I encountered this series because I found a twitter post about a six hour review of Tokimeki Memorial, and a white middle-aged man talking about a dating sim for six hours with laudatory blurbs would always pique my interest, but since I didn’t know the guy, I went ahead and looked if he made other videos, and found he has four other review that were all about three hours or more. Now I knew that I had to watch all the reviews to prepare myself for this six hour review of Tokimeki Memorial.
Now, I wasn’t a stranger to three hour reviews of video games. I watched Joseph Anderson, Raycevick, Whitelight, matthewmatosis, and Noah Gervais-Caldwell. In fact, in the comments below Action Button Reviews, many people talked about a comparison to Noah Gervais-Caldwell (and Brian David Gilbert) and that was quite funny since I actually watched a recent Noah Gervais-Caldwell video.
His first two reviews were perfunctory, him opening himself up and trying out new things and polishing his review style, as he went through the Final Fantasy VII remake and The Last of Us. While I watched The Last of Us, I distinctly remembered and contrasted Noah’s The Last of Us Part 2 review with Tim Roger’s The Last of Us review. I liked Tim Roger’s defense of interactive movies (although he denies it!) contrasted with more cynical but ultimately positive connotation in Noah’s review. And Noah’s thesis pairs nicely with Tim’s observation that Ellie was the main protagonist all along. That fact makes Part 2 much more understandable, even the bad parts.
When I finished watch his first two reviews, I went ahead and also watched several of Tim’s videos on Kotaku, which were slightly shorter, the longest being just over an hour, which is a review of the best games in 1994, and does contain a short segment about Tokimeki Memorial, which his six hour review was my destination. To put in context, Tokimeki Memorial was #3. #1 was Earthbound, #2 was Final Fantasy VI, and #4 was Super Metroid. And I just watched a playthrough of Super Metroid basically on a whim, because it’s a monumental and a great game to play and watch.
And while the segment of the games that I knew to be great and monumental in my absorption of knowing video games was deeply personal and rightly claimed its stake that it deserved its spot, his segment of Tokimeki Memorial never got there. It was almost as if he was deliberately hiding behind something. In the end of 1994 review, Tim pitched an idea about a three hour Earthbound review, which probably was Tim’s idea of floating a departure from Kotaku, which would happen two months later, and I wonder if he was trying to deliberately throw a curveball by making a video of Tokimeki Memorial instead of the promised Earthbound review. This may be a far leap, I admit.
I went back and watched the video about Doom. It was much better in quality and in darkness. I was reminded of Film Crit Hulk’s writing of The World’s End and James Bond, another very long essay that was deeply personal and chapter for easier consumption. Few commenters noticed that Tim Rogers was just doing a dramatic reading of his written reviews on Kotaku and Action Button dot net, and how they liked that approach, and I found myself liking that approach as well. You might believe a video review needs more than just reading an essay out loud, but just the act of reading an essay out loud in the correct intonation and inflection adds ton to experience. And Tim Rogers sounds like he has decades worth of experience to present a dramatic reading of his essay very effectively, much like Hank Green.
I continued scaling the mountain to my goal. I went through his review of Pac-Man and was delighted by his reading of Namco games, and was impressed by the opening sequence, and just generally enjoyed it. I was getting excited to set a day aside and let the six hour review of Tokimeki Memorial watch over me and reduce me to dust.
And it sure did. That six hours was a harrowing experience. What Tim Rogers is best at is telling a story, and so to go through a let’s play was a wish I never made, fulfilled. In the end, I was left with nothing and everything. It was like finishing a really good book.
I wanted to watch it again, then again I never wanted to watch it again. It was almost a traumatic experience. Tim talked about there being endless variation of love, and the love Tim Rogers went through was not the fluffy yet melancholic one that I craved, but one akin to a devotion of an eldritch god. Love made in justification for one’s efforts in attending and maintaining a relationship. A love stronger than most kinds of love, but most draining and taxing as well. Tim Roger’s synopsis of Tennis Monster reminded me of Asking for It by Louise O’Neill, which is also about empathizing a quite hateable character because we kind of have to. Apparently one person knows the full plot because Tim Rogers rambled on about it as he was couch surfing in his house, and unbelieve as it usually is, I fully trust that the commenter is telling the truth.
I was like a heroin addict, who really wanted a different hit, like talking to friends or hiking, my mother wanted me to go hiking with her, and I didn’t because, after the pandemic started, all I wanted to be was inside. Outside felt diseased. The air outside felt contaminated to me, hard to breathe. I was stuck in this place.
Tim Rogers is an exceptional figure. He seems to be a movie protagonist, he reminds me of The Librarian, played by Noah Wyle. Tim has eidetic memory, as he has access every single autobiographical memory formed, but not other types of memory. We know that those types of memory are different because of people like Tim and people who are opposite of Tim, someone who has no memories of autobiographical memory but otherwise fine. These people tend to have very few emotions and have a hard time deciding things. Lack of emotions is correlated with difficulty in decision making.
So Tim is the opposite of that, Tim is full of emotions, complex emotions and he can make decisions and carry it out in a snap. He would be good at school, and he was, but he would be too focused on his grandeur to be under some authority, which is how he became who he was. His anti-authoritarian nature rings throughout his reviews, highlight the general Generation X vibe that Tim exudes but also the modern socialistic movement of Generation Z, which adds to this odd mix of old and new.
Not only does Tim have eidetic memory and intense work ethic that he never seems to move away from, therefore making a three hour video masterpiece at a clip that seems unbelievable for a seasoned viewer, he also has exceptional skills in fast math and language, he seems to be at least familiar with dozens of languages, and of course Tim’s experience is bounded by his decade of living in Japan.
I think this is why Tim naturally gravitates towards video games. When Tim says ‘welcome to video games’ there’s a natural supposition that Tim Rogers is the protagonist of video games, and I think he is. Tim wants to be in video games, because he needs to be in video games, instead of some almighty god cruelly deciding to plop him into a real life. He should be an video game adaptation of The Librarian and go on world-spanning adventure and romance impossibly beautiful girls instead of toiling the grime of what real life portends to. His life is dramatic, but impossibly mundane as well. It’s a simulacrum of a movie or a video game, which is pretty cool on its own.
But of course Tim Rogers isn’t the only part of Action Button Reviews. In the ensuing five videos, Tim Rogers tries to do something. Video games are a wide net. There is so much to video games, something like Gone Home and Geometry Dash are included alongside Wolfenstein The New Colossus and Farmville. What makes a video game? Actually, the more interesting question is, why do we have the term ‘video games’? Why do we put all of this mess into a single category, as if there is some throughline.
Tim Rogers starts to do that. Tim Rogers boldly states that things like Doom and Tokimeki Memorial are intimately connected to each other. And that all video games are in conversation with each other, through deep and complex meta-narratives. Tim Rogers is a cartographer, trying to map out how video games are made whole.
I’ve always strived to be that kind of a cartographer, to showcase the weave of reality, of connecting two seemingly unconnected parts, and showing to a profound implication both existing, instead of one or the other. If you don’t know, I have been trying to write something out of my current obsession with Virtual YouTubers, and mostly Hololive, and while I think I stumbled upon the six hour video review of Tokimeki Memorial outside of my interest in virtual YouTubers, this video, as I expected in the back of my head, gave me plenty of thoughts about Hololive. Its rumination of cyberpunk and idol culture is so directly connected with the peculiarities of Hololive that I was quite astounded.
From the very beginning, I wonder how Tim Rogers thinks about Hololive, especially after he has done that six hour review. I’m sure he will have a lot of interesting thoughts about the prospect. I want to get in contact with him, maybe work under him. But then I don’t want to hang out with him. I want to be near him as he talks to a crowd at a party, but I don’t feel safe to be near him when there’s less than ten people nearby. I think below ten, I would be swept in some danger that I won’t be prepared for.
Tim Rogers and Action Button Review is a fascinating review series and if you have the time, I suggest you should take the journey. It’s well worth it, just to get a different perspective on video games and the world around it.

I have 3 things to say. 1, you have amazing writing skills. 2, any advice for making slasher ocs. 3, do you know a good resource to make moodboards. Lots of love from me to you<3
This is for everyone:
First, thank you very much. I do try to write everyday to get better into writing. Also that reminds me. Sorry to you all that I haven't wrote for Canon Slashers, but I am trying to work more on my Slasher OCs and into developing them. I will continue to write slasher fanfics. Don't worry, but for now I don't have inspiration for them and I am the type that is 'If you don't wanna do something, don't do it just for the sake of others'. I tried once to write something despite not being in the mood for it. The outcome? I was displeased with the result and deleted the whole oneshot I wrote.
Advice on making Slasher OCs? Well, I am gonna tell you the long story about how I created all my Slasher OCs.
Richard Firewood- I was inspired in creating him after watching The Shining and listening to TV news about organ stealing and illegal trafic of organs.
Jackson Jasper- I watch a lot of documentaries on Discovery Invesatigation about true crimes and murders. What better inspiration than true serial killers. (ATTENTION: I DO NOT SUPPORT REAL LIFE MURDER. JUST SO WE ARE CLEAR HERE.) FUN FACT: LEATHERFACE WAS INSPIRED BY A REAL SERIAL KILLER.
The Hacker-I watched videos about urban legends about the DEEP Web on YouTube and I was inspired by the purge mask that gave me the vibes of a Cyber Killer.
Dave Anthony- Watching a video about the most haunted asylums.
Samuel Grayson- He came up after watching the movie The Poltergeist.
Gerome and Axel- Funny story short.... Inspired by the movies Bad Boys 😂
Damiano Liberato-He came up after I read some history about one of the best designers in history and I was like 'Oh a Fashion Designer Killer?' and I was also inspired by Cruella De Ville.
Azment-To be completly honest.... I don't know how she came up to be. 😅 A puzzler even for me.
Mitch Carson-Watching a documentary about some of the most cruel jails in history.
Azol- Watched the horror movies The Ouija and Countdown.
The Shadow- Inspiration for him came from many things, but mostly inspired by Jack The Ripper and The Zodiac. Two real serial killers of history.
Bahini Talibah- Inspired after I watched the movie The Mummy.
Xaviera Lah-Mo- Great inspiration came after I watched a documentary about Snow Leopards and also after I watched xXx Reactivated. The Canon character Adele Wolff inspired me by a scene where she shots three poachers and they are killed by a lion that they were planning to kill. Also got inspiration while listening to Nightwish.
To say it shortly inspiration came from simple things. My advice is to watch movies, documentaries. They offer ideas and great inspiration.
Also don't be afraid of the 'This OC is a rip-off of Canon character.'
If we think about it deeply many characters, especially Slashers have many similarities. The Collector was called at first a rip-off of SAW just because he sets traps. Or.... Oh they wear a mask? What a rip-off. Umm.... Jason Voorhees wears a mask, so does Michael Myers... And Ghostface... And Leatherface and the list goes on.
Moodboards?
Ahhhh. I love to make them, especially considering I cannot draw to save my life so... I opt for Moodboards to set a mental image to the reader about the character or story.
I usually type in the search bar a certain thing that my character has or a trademark. For example I need something snake related. I type in snake then add 'aesthetics' and I get lots of images. Or pinterest! Its another great source.
I hope this all helped you and everyone else!🤗
I Wish you all an amazing day!

Radio Friendly Unit Shifter: The Complete Nirvana Videography
Heart-Shaped Box
Nirvana had originally wanted Kevin Kerslake to direct this video, who had written the initial treatment in July 1992. By the summer of 1993, he had written at least five treatments, which included a shot of Kurt Cobain kissing William Burroughs and another of the entire band hanging by their necks from trees. Yet by the end of August, the band decided to go with Dutch photographer Anton Corbijn. The director seemed initially apprehensive about agreeing to do the video as he had heard Kurt Cobain could act overly detailed in production. He would say, “But then I looked at it and I thought that actually it was pretty good. I was very amazed by somebody writing a song and having those ideas as precise as he did." The video begins with the band standing in a hospital room around an old man receiving an IV drip, then moves to a surreal Wizard of Oz type of outdoor setting. The same old man in a Santa and later Pope hat climbs on a crow infested cross as they sing the song. The video also includes a young girl reaching for fetuses in a tree, while at the same time an overweight woman appears with human organs painted on her chest with a pair of wings. Many of these ideas were actually conceived by Corbijn, not the band as he always came up with the ideas on his own for any of his videos. Upon the promotion’s release, Kevin Kerslake sued the band for copyright infringement, as the case would be settled out of court. Upon its release, the clip became the most played video on MTV eventually garnering two video music awards for Best Alternative Video and Art Direction. Dave Grohl, Krist Novoselic, and Pat Smear accepted the awards as Kurt Cobain had already passed. New Musical Express named it as the 11th best music video of all time, while Time magazine called it the number 10 music video ever saying it was both “beautiful and terrible.” In 2016, Dave Grohl reunited with the young girl from the video, who had this to say about the reunion. “Today reminded me that I peaked at 6 years old but I was the most badass kid on the playground. Today was the absolute coolest. Or in Dave's words seeing each other today was a 'historic moment'! What a legend!”
Sliver
A music video for the song was released in 1993 to promote the compilation album, Incesticide. The video would be directed by longtime collaborator Kevin Kerslake. The clip begins with Kurt Cobain holding his young daughter up behind some cardboard as she dances along to the first few seconds of the track. The video moves to Cobain’s garage, where it shows the band performing the song. Dave Grohl is playing on the drums, even though he never played on the original song. Cobain only sings into a microphone, but he's never seen playing guitar. He is wearing a red mohair sweater that Courtney Love had purchased for him from a fan at a Nirvana show in Belfast, Northern Ireland. His whole garage is filled with toys and decorations the singer had placed in storage just before the release of Nevermind that he had collected over the years. The collection included a Chim Chim toy monkey that was given to him from the Japanese band Shonen Knife.
Come As You Are
This video would actually be the first one directed by Kevin Kerslake, who was hired after such a negative experience with the director on Smells Like Teen Spirit. The concept would be developed by Kerslake as Cobain could not come up with any ideas, so he let the director develop the video. The singer’s only requirement was that some kind of reference be made to the cover of the Nevermind album. The clip shows the band in a dark room as water falls around them obscuring their form. Other images include Cobain swinging from a chandelier, a dog wandering around the room, a baby swimming in a pool, and a pistol falling underwater. The end of the video shows the entire group lying on the ground as Cobain kisses the camera.
Lithium
This video originally had a concept of doing a short animated story about a female girl named Prego. This girl lives in a forest, when she finds some eggs and takes them to a king in a nearby castle. Unfortunately, both Kevin Kerslake and Cobain discovered that it would take four months to produce the video, so they abandoned the idea. Kerslake instead created a collage of concert footage for the video made up of their 1991 Paramount Theater concert and other footage from the 1992 film, The Year Punk Broke. Biographer Michael Azerrad would make this critical comment about the clip. "Although [the video] was enlivened by Kerslake's neat trick of using more violent footage during the quiet parts of the song and vice versa, it was something of a disappointment from a band and a song that promised so much."
You Know You’re Right
Chris Hafner directed this video released in October 2002 to coincide with the single of the same name. The clip shows a montage of The band in either concerts or interviews, but giving the impression that they are actually performing the song. The video would reach number two on Billboard’s music videos chart. New Musical Express would go on to nominate it for Best Music Video in 2002.
In Bloom
Two versions of this video exist. The first one showed clips of the band walking around New York City and performing at Maxwells in New Jersey. In the clip, one can see Krist Novoselic in some shots has hair and others a shaved head. The reason for that comes from the fact that he had to shave it as punishment for a mediocre performance during a show at the Pyramid Club. They made this alternate version for a compilation dvd on the Sub Pop label, Sub Pop Video Network Volume One. The second version, which most people remember is called the Nevermind version. This promotional clip would be directed once again by Kevin Kerslake and released in November 1992. Kurt Cobain’s original concept for it was to tell the story of a young girl born into a Ku Klux Klan family until she realizes the evil nature of her parents, but the concept seemed much too difficult to work out. He then switched it into a parody of 1960’s television shows like the Ed Sullivan Show. The entire video was shot in original cameras of the period in Kinescope, while the band did the entire song without a script. The actor playing the host was Doug Llewellyn, who had worked as the reporter interviewing people after their case on the People’s Court. Cobain wanted to make a funny parody video to show that there was another side to Nirvana. He felt “so tired for the last year of people taking us so seriously . . . I wanted to fuck off and show them that we have a humorous side to us.” The entire band would wear suits during their performance, while the Nirvana frontman had glasses that eventually made him quite dizzy. He would later say in a Melody Maker interview that they wanted to parody groups like the Dave Clark Five, but not the Beatles. He would never mock the Fab Four due to their influence on his songwriting. In the clip, Novoselic is wearing short hair, which he liked so much that he never changed it. They eventually destroy all of their instruments and the stage by the end of the song. In Bloom would go on to win the 1993 MTV Music Video Award for Best Alternative Video.
Smells Like Teen Spirit
This video would be directed by first timer Sam Bayer. The director believed that he actually got hired because the work on his résumé seemed so below average that Nirvana thought that it would represent the opposite of anything remotely corporate. The concept developed by the band was to stage a school concert that ended in a riot. The idea had been based on the films Rock ‘n’ Roll High School starring the Ramones and The 1979 film, Over the Edge. The clip begins with the band playing the song during a pep rally in a high school gym as cheerleaders wearing sweaters with the anarchy symbol on them cheer along. Every so often, the camera cuts to a janitor dancing alongside his broom. The video ends with the apathetic students going from the bleachers to the gym floor in a full-scale riot. The apathy from the students was actually real as they had been sitting on the bleachers all day. Cobain was finally able to convince Bayer that the students should be allowed to mosh at the end of the video. The singer said, “Once the kids came out dancing they just said 'fuck you', because they were so tired of his shit throughout the day.” The Nirvana frontman hated the directors final edit of the video so much that he went in himself creating what became the final version. Upon its release, Rolling Stone’s David Fricke would say that it was “the greatest gig that you could ever imagine.” The video would go on the win MTV Video Music Awards for Best New Artist and Best Alternative Video. In 1999, the video was named the number three music video of all time on a list put out by MTV. VH1 named it number 18 in the greatest television moments in the history of music as alternative music now became a “commercial and cultural force.” At the end of 2019, the video had been viewed 1 billion times on YouTube.
