David and Michael in the interview with Ali Plumb for BBC Radio 1 from 10th July 2023 (x) :).
AP: Do you get fans in the street quoting lines or just pointing and staring?
Michael: Well, I get a lot of 'To the world'.
David: Oh, yes. Nice.
Michael: People like to… yeah.
David: Yeah.
Michael: And 'You go too fast, Crowley.'
David: Ooh.
Michael: There's a lot of that.

Okay so I've been wanting to tell you that you're literally my favourite twst artist 😭🩷
So my question is, how do you manage to come up with these funny comics? CUZ I LOVE THEM SO MUCH
(P.s: Lovin' the art style ✨)
oh geeze, thanks! 💚💚💚 I'm really glad people enjoy my stupid sense of humor; mostly I just draw things to make myself laugh, and if it makes other people laugh too, then bonus points! usually it's just one joke or mental image that gets stuck in my head (every time I saw Fellow spin his cane, all I could think about was him go-go-gadgeting away on it...) and in my quest to justify it, it picks up other jokes and bits along the way and usually doesn't even end up as the main focus anymore. entire narrative arcs have spun out just so I could use a single bad pun in a throwaway line. this is a terrible way to explain it but I'm not sure how else to put it into words!
and sometimes it's just "weird things my sister has said that I make fun of her for"

I wish I could tell Past Me, when I first started posting fic to AO3, that just because you do not receive 15, 20, 50 kudos in the first two days does not mean your fic is a failure. It does not mean your fic is bad, and you are a bad writer, and should take it down and bury your head in the sand.
People will keep reading your fics, long after you have posted them. Kudos will trickle in. Bookmarks will stack up. Every so often you'll get a precious comment on an old fic and it will brighten your whole week.
Yes, some things will slip through the cracks, but that won't matter so much because more importantly, you will make friends with other fic writers, and you will support each other through every single thing you write, and leave each other long, excited, incoherent comments, and those are the ones that will really matter to you.

anticipating the discourse surrounding kabumisu so we all have time to gain immunity first:
Mithrun is literally 185 years old while Kabru is only 22!!! That's such a huge age gap it's basically pedophilia
Mithrun is disabled and Kabru is his caretaker. Since there's a power dynamic, it's abuse, specifically medical abuse. Just because real disabled people's partners often act as caretakers out of necessity, doesn't make it okay in fiction
Mithrun is an elf and Kabru is a tallman. This racial dynamic is sooo uncomfortable. If you ship them, you support imperialism/colonialism/racism.
Milsiril and Mithrun were in the same squad and she took care of him. Kabru's mom knows Mithrun, which means he's basically Kabru's uncle. This is so grooming coded. I bet you abuse minors

💜 About
❤️ When does this event take place?
JouKai Week for 2024 will run between Friday, January 19th and Thursday, January 25th, 2024.
💙 How does this work?
This event is open to anyone who's a fan of Kaiba and Joey.
A pair of prompts is provided every day. Feel free to pick and choose, or combine both prompts in your fanworks. You can make as many pieces as you want for any given day. Feel free to participate every day, or just on the days where you feel like it.
You can start working on your fills as soon as prompts are posted, but please do not post your finished works before the event starts.
❤️ What can I make?
Create whatever you're inspired to—fanart, traditional long-form fanfiction, poetry, crafts, mood boards, ship playlists, or headcanon posts.
The only stipulation is your work should primarily focus on Jounouchi and Kaiba. Otherwise, there are no restrictions on length or rating. Please keep in mind that it is common courtesy to provide ratings, warnings, and put NSFW or excessively long works under a "Read More" cut.
Go wild and have fun.
💙 Where should I post my work?
Wherever you want! While this event is run on tumblr, you're free to share your creations on tumblr, FF.net, AO3, twitter, etc. Mod will also reblog and share works that are tagged with @joukaiweek or #joukaiweek2024. Mod recommends doing both so your work doesn't get lost. Mod reserves the right to not reblog anything that does not fit the spirit of the event or is not properly rated/warned. Mod also requests you not share your finished creation until the day of the prompt.
❤️ I have another question not addressed here.
Send an ask, and Mod will get back to you ASAP.

A couple of thoughts on today’s events in the GO fandom:
- OMG
- I did see it, but in the interest of keeping things under wraps until July 28th, I will not share any leaks or spoilers publicly, but at the same time...
- How did that even happen?!
- Amazon Prime is to blame for the leak, not the fans. There is no faction of “good” GO fans who haven’t shared the spoiler vs. “bad” GO fans who did because they were genuinely excited and saw something shared by an official source. People have the right to be excited after months (years, even) of no content of any kind, just as much as people have the right to be disappointed or not want spoilers.
- ...But Neil reblogging and agreeing with this post is almost certain to create division and once again sets up fans as targets. The coddling of Neil is also disconcerting to witness, as if he is a child rather than a grown adult man. There was no context for the spoiler and nothing else to give us clues for what was happening and while yes, it’s understandable that he feels frustrated/upset, that does not give him the right to further punch down on the fans (who are undoubtedly easier targets than his boss(es) at Amazon).
- We absolutely must have promo interviews with Michael and David in the weeks leading up to July 28th because they will be the stuff of legend and if we do not get any interviews, I will simply perish.
- In conclusion, Michael Sheen’s face in this picture:
