Formaggio is currently my emotional support hitman. So, have a rant.

The synopsis is that no one appreciates this character and it makes me sad. Formaggio, come pick me up; I hate it here./j

Out of La Squadra, Formaggio's generally not my favorite, but as a La Squadra whore, I'll make an effort to appreciate my boys.

My initial impression of Formaggio and the majority of La Squadra was... non-existent. I paid attention to Giorno, Bucciarati's group, and subsequently Narancia during this fight. But if I had to come up with something for Formaggio, the only thing that stood out to me was Little Feet. After part 3 and 4, finally, someone had to have the ability to shrink. It's such a simple and convenient ability to have, both on the battlefield and on the daily.

Lock yourself out of your house? Shrink and crawl under the door. Have a lot to carry or something incredibly heavy to carry up a flight of stairs, like a car or a 5 ft x 6 ft paining (don't ask)? Shrink it down to size and put it in your pocket. Or maybe carry a couple of grenades and automatic rifles and wear them like a braclet until you're ready to use them... No one's gonna know. They're gonna know. No one's going to know./ref

The more I made La Squadra a part of my personality, the more I realized, "Fuck yeah, I would appreciate a homie like Formaggio." He may look like an annoying punk (like 99% of my classmates) but he's adaptable and clever. During his first conversation with Narancia, it sounded like Formaggio was just rambling and making jokes, but every sentence was a transition to get information or a reaction from Narancia.

Vol. 2 VA, chp 31:

(To Narancia) "Word is, Polpo died last night. Then, all of a sudden, Bucciarati, Fugo, Abbacchio, and Mista all went into hiding They're not anywhere. I finally found you, though, Narancia. Do you know where they are and why they disappeared?"

"Did you hear about Polpo's body? . . . They can't figure figure out how to cram his fat ass into the furnace. Ha ha ha! They're going to have to cut him into tiny pieces to get him in!"

"Why didn't your crew show up at the capo's funeral?! Answer me, Narancia! If I can't tail you then I'll make you tell me everything!

Baby boy, if you'd stayed quiet and patient, you might have been able to follow Narancia to the vineyard without interruption.

He also has an unnecessary amount of knowledge on mosquitoes and arachnids.

Vol 3 VA, chp 34

"Mosquitoes can sense the carbon dioxide animals exhale. . . That's what's happening here. Aerosmith is seeking out my carbon dioxide!"

The only thing I needed to know was that mosquitoes are little menaces that help transfer diseases and need to be smacked out of existence. I didn't want to know this extra CO² info, but thanks, I guess./s Did I want to read about spiders' digestive fluids killing their prey from the inside out on a random Tuesday night? No, not at all. But here we are. u.u

When the brainrot got worse, the anime and manga yielded superficial results. So, I'm glad the JoJo World Event gave us a bit more. In a Twitter translation of the La Squadra info, Formaggio was described as an insightful opportunist and aware of his comrades' deficits (condensed from image below). Good, because I'm going to need my emotional support hitman now. 🫴/lh

Not gonna lie, Formaggio gave me "annoying jock" vibes initially when I took everything that I've mentioned into consideration. But seeing that he does pay more attention to others than they believe is somewhat... hmmm, comforting. In all earnesty, I would trust Formaggio to be a good judge of character or a human lie detector.

This part's not important, but I don't like the majority of his design. In the manga, he's given orange hair, and while I understand his name means "cheese," the grey in the anime helps bring contrast from the rest of his outfit that focuses on a red top and brown pants.

Like his Stand, he's very unassuming, but there's this slow burn effect that endeared this character to me. Formaggio still isn't my favorite among La Squadra, but I think about him a lot sometimes. u.u

OKAY LET ME TALK ABOUT THE ARTICLE NOW.

There is...there is so much to discuss. How do I even start this post, honestly? Current stays winnin' with their long-ass articles but stays bitchin' in the worst way with their shitty-ass paywalls. Fuck paywalls, all my homies hate paywalls.

Anyway, look below the break.

casting calls ended on october 17th they just finished filming

Look, for 12 episodes, that's a hell of a crunch. Proud of 'em, really.

Also, I think we all know what it's gonna be marketed as in the States. If you don't then I'll give you the money to go to college so you can attend my Odd Squad class. It's only fair.

So I guess this explains why Netflix wasn't part of the deal. Either that or those articles I read were wildly incorrect on Netflix being a contributing helper.

...I mean okay, granted they could still be handed off to Netflix, just not in the US because...well, it's Fred Rogers Productions. They'll be damned if they plop their IPs into the hands of any streaming service that isn't named Prime Video.

This also means that maybe FRP will have a lesser hand in this than I thought, which isn't really all that surprising if one looks through their social media pages. Odd Squad was barely promoted on Twitter even before that account went near-radio-silent.

Okay, this is actually kinda interesting. Makes me feel like I should move to the UK just to see what, exactly, appeals to the British there. I mean outside of the comedy, of course.

Also, I know the pandemic affected a load of things about the franchise, but for it to birth an entire-ass new series is just downright insane. Not that insane, because that's how Lockdown was born, but yeah, pretty fucking insane!

...

Wait, Season 4 has 12 episodes? Like an anime? When Odd Squad already has anime elements?

Oh I'm gonna be an insufferable bitch when this comes out. Y'all have been warned.

Hey, hey, does anyone remember when Fred Rogers Productions got in trouble for not meeting grant requirements when it came to Odd Squad? Along with failing in accounting when it came to other IPs?

Pepperidge Farm remembers. I remember. No one else in the fandom remembers, but oh do I remember.

(Odd Squad cost $18 million for Season 1. Sit on that for a minute. Really think about how much that shit would be worth now, especially with inflation as bad as it is. It was a lot back then and it still is for some but it seems like mere pennies now, huh?)

I point this out because the fact that they had to seek out funding from outside sources that were not part of the hellshow of circus freaks that is the US government is absolutely hilarious to me.

You guys are married to TVO too, but you apparently don't like to talk about that. Shit's for people in all of those states that border Canada. Everyone else can go fuck themselves, not my quote.

That aside, though, I do like how PBS airing British media has finally implored them to do a "what if" scenario with their cartoons. It's been, what...decades? That's like swinging the bat long after everyone's left the stadium. Except for the audience, they're sticking around for some reason.

Look, Tim McKeon said the same thing about Season 3 and we all know how that turned out. I pray derivativeness is a virtue that will be buried deep into the ground by the time Odd Squad UK rolls around because we really can't afford to pick 12/24 episodes at random across 100+ of them to pry and copy plots from. And believe you me, I will know the difference between a simple harmless continuity nod and sheer derivativeness.

To put it simply: Sinking Ship and I have very different takes on "the same but also different".

Damn, RIP to Mark. I'm glad he's still working on the show, though for him to step down as showrunner for Odd Squad UK is...well, it's probably the best move looking at what we ended up with.

...I'm probably misinterpreting that. And/or it's journalism being journalism. C'est la vie.

I guess them sending over wardrobes is why Orli and Ozzie aren't decked to the nines in...uh...well, British versions of the Investigation agent uniform. Whatever those look like.

Again, you could say the same thing about Season 3 and we all know how that shit turned out.

I still have optimism, but there's a real damn pessimist side of me waiting to break free.

I'm choosing to believe "socioeconomic diversity" was how they picked about half to 3/4 of the writers for Season 3, because a majority of them either have very small resumes, have never worked on anything with a kid demo, or both.

The difference between them and the kids in this spinoff/new season, however, is that one group sucks and the other one likely doesn't.

(Yeah yeah, I'm making a lot of Season 3 jabs. But it's easy to make comparisons to that versus Season 1 and Season 2. Bite me.)

To maintain continuity with the original series' Canadian cast

Or "we need to have at least one Canadian thing to qualify for all those Canadian tax breaks and subsidies, and also uhhhhhh we're no lawbreakers".

There you go. I fixed it. Thank me later.

Also, they don't mention it, and it probably won't be mentioned until some article pops up in 2024 about it, but rest assured they're talking about Orli here. While I dig her backstory, I'm not so sure if I'm so keen on another audience surrogate after how badly they flubbed Osmerelda within 13 episodes. Granted, this is a different kind of audience surrogate -- Orli's not a "haha relatable funy thing for kids and the 'rents" surrogate, she's an "I'm a Canadian idiot who has never been to this country, please teach me" surrogate -- but still, I'm not so hopeful about them being able to write her well. Worst case scenario, we end up with a character who drinks maple syrup by the bottle, loves hockey, and drops an "eh?" every other sentence.

Oh I'm sensing a load of "tube" puns are gonna be made this season, lemme tell ya.

Okay okay, but real talk, this is actually kinda neat. Gonna be a little weird to see, but neat. The hell needs the lil' kiddie cars when you got trains to ride?!

Hey, hey, you guys remember when Odd Squad first premiered and PBS Kids put out a whole ton of new stuff for it? They had games at the ready and everything? They were so hyped for this shit they poured everything they had into it?

Pepperidge Farm remembers. I remember. No one else in the fandom remembers, but oh do I remember.

Needless to say, they don't really do that anymore for new shows. It's all the same cookie-cutter pre-release formula. When they did it for Odd Squad it was special. When they did it for Alma's Way and Elinor Wonders Why...not so much.

...Oh yeah, and the math stuff, the math stuff is cool, I like that. Here's hoping they can put new concepts into play instead of rehashing old ones.

"just 10-year-olds" the show is aimed at a 2-5 demographic

Now, see, this is where the funny irony comes in. Everyone laugh at the funny irony here. Now everyone cry because this seems more like a fitting comment for if GO! still existed and the show was on it.

Ahhh, now, see, this is where things get interesting.

Those of you keeping up with PBS Kids news might be aware of the network shifting to more short-form content as a way to nab viewers while also cutting costs significantly, hence why we're getting new podcasts and other short-form content in addition to full-length shows. PBS Kids has been in the short-form game since the late 2000s with the WordGirl shorts but they never truly dipped their toes into the short-form format until Elinor Wonders Why's That's So Interesting shorts and the Odd Squadcast came out. Those were the true floodgate-openers right there, paving the way for a host of old IPs being refreshed in addition to new IPs.

I remember when they dropped eight new shorts of two different series and thinking it was an April Fools joke because they were published on April 1st with absolutely no forewarning. I found out the news from someone else who had put the images up on the Wiki and I laughed my ass off at just how ridiculous it was. And then I found out they were real, and I sobbed.

...No wait, not the Meeting. Scratch that. I forgot it's changed dramatically since the days of yore. Moving on!

Whether this comment means we'll be getting Season 2 of the Odd Squadcast (which, y'know, is unlikely now), Season 3 of OddTube (ah, now that seems more likely), or more shorts outside of the two series we already have (Gadget Testers and Book of Games) is unknown at this point. But if anything, news is gonna break during upfronts like the TCA Press Tour and the PBS Annual Meeting.

It'll air in a year and they're already milking it for all it's worth. Byootiful. Clearly they have not learned from the last time they did a dramatic franchise shift and it paid off. AHEM MOBILE UNIT AHEM.

If they wanted to, they could grow some balls and go for broke. Do 28 more to be on par with Season 1.

No but seriously, I love how the fate of Odd Squad UK is so contingent on ratings. Let's not forget how Ready Jet Go and Let's Go Luna got unfairly sniped with no reason given (and then they brought back RJG with a movie like they still cared...lol get rekt) and let's not forget that they could easily do the same with Odd Squad at any time in spite of its ratings. They revived Super Why back from the dead, they revived Clifford back from the dead...they did it with Odd Squad and it's only been a wee bit over a year.

------------------------------

I'm not really opposed to Odd Squad being set in other regions -- it probably does better internationally than it does in the States, but we have no way to know that for sure -- but they're acting very sus with this portion specifically. I've got my eye on them.

All in all, this article has me pretty excited for the new spinoff/Season 4/how the fuck am I supposed to market this. Shame it's supposed to air in late 2024 (though maybe it'll air on CBBC in the spring because of that casting call...holy fuck I just thought of that as I was typing this post, real shit, lemme get my poker chips and bet on this RN) but I'm hyped for it either way and will happily lap up any and all press coverage on it until it airs. 2024's gonna be a big year.

If you guys reading this find any news on it, send it to me through an ask or a submission! We've got one more month before we launch into 2024 and if my theory about CBBC airing it earlier is true then we'll have to really be on the lookout for it as soon as January.

Just Tonight

short kinky drabble with dom Em for my sub Kells fans <3 will be completed over the next month!!

The roar of the crowd was almost deafening, even from backstage. Colson pulled his shirt up, using it to wipe the sweat from his face before tossing it aside completely. Fuck, that was a good show. Took a lot of energy out of him though. He contemplated lying down on the couch as he kicked his dressing room door open with the scuffed toe of his docs. Not a bad idea. He could catch up with the rest of the guys later, maybe go for drinks or something. His muscles trembled from the adrenaline of being on stage. Fuck it, he thought, practically dive bombing the shitty fabric sofa that was pressed against the wall. He deserved some rest after his performance. Barely noticing as his eyelids fluttered shut, he drifted into a dreamless slumber.

"DUDE! you gotta see this, there's a- oh shit!" Rook's voice dropped to a whisper halfway through his sentence as he noticed the sleeping form of his friend on the couch.

"Aww, sleepy Colson," he muttered to himself, staring for a moment before a brilliant idea popped into his head. Silently, he tiptoed to the table in the corner, grabbing a bundle of thin rope and a roll of pink duct tape. He made quick work of tying Colson's wrists together and slapping a piece of tape over his mouth. Rook could barely contain his laughter as he stood back and admired his work.

"Sweet dreams homie," he grinned, heading out the door and closing it quietly. Hopefully his friend wouldn't be too pissed when he finally woke up. After all, he'd pranked Rook more times than he could count on both hands. 

Marshall was getting seriously fed up with the amount of people who wanted him to squash the beef with MGK. Paul had called him to discuss it on Monday, and by Thursday night he'd been sent an long worded email from Diddy requesting they talk it out. He had to put his foot down, right? Eminem wasn't known for kissing and making up with the people who'd fucked with him. Actually, it was quite the opposite. Marshall didn't give a fuck about the stupid blond twink or his dumb new pop punk album. Not that he'd listened to it (on more than one occasion.) That was beside the point! He wasn't about to take pity on MGK just because his fans could get a little crazy on twitter sometimes. If it was affecting the younger rapper so badly, he should be the one grovelling at Marshall's feet. When Friday came around, he noticed even Royce seemed to be up his ass about it. 

"Maybe it'd be a good thing," he'd said. "You can move onto other shit without everyone bein' up in arms."

Yeah, that was the last straw. 

Now it was Sunday, and Marshall couldn't believe he was actually about to go through with this. He'd waited for the venue to clear out, but decided to pull his hood up as he stepped out of his car, just to be safe. Scrubbing a palm over his face with a sigh, he made his way up the steps to the back entrance of the stadium. The sound of his footsteps on concrete reminded him of his impending doom. What the hell had he gotten himself into? What if Kelly wasn't all talk and actually wanted to kick his ass? or even worse, what if he laughed in his face? Marshall grumbled something about "fuckin' Paul," as he trudged down the hall, stopping to pound a fist on the door of the young rapper's dressing room. No answer.

Shit, maybe he'd been too late. He jiggled the knob, surprised when the door swung open with a click. It wasn't until he'd closed the door behind him that he noticed the state of the young rapper in front of him.

Now that he was sitting upright, Marshall was able to see the disgruntled look on Kelly's face, which only seemed to darken when his eyes fell on the older man. He was squirming, thrashing about and throwing a little hissy fit, clearly trying to undo the bright pink ropes that bound his thin wrists together. Marshall couldn't help the small smirk that spread across his face when he noticed the duct tape over Kelly's lips.

"Pink really is your colour, huh?" he teased, mind focused on the situation at hand. The only response he received was a deadpan glare from the blond.

"How'd you get yourself into this situation? wait- don't answer that," he grinned at the irony. "let me guess...some crazy fangirl broke in here to get the big man all to herself?" Kelly didn't reply. He exhaled loudly through his nose, gazing up at Marshall with a look that seemed to beg help.

"Y'know, Kelly, I think I like you better like this. You can't run your fuckin' mouth," Marshall spoke, stepping closer to the man before him. "All tied up for me like a goddamn present," he purred. The blush that spread across Kelly's face didn't go unnoticed. Huh. Interesting.

"Is that how it is then? You got a little crush on me or somethin'? tryna pull at my pigtails? You're a big boy, use your words," Marshall gloated. "Oh wait. You can't."

Colson rolled his eyes at the laughter that followed. If this asshole wasn't gonna help him, he was doomed to sit here and listen to Eminem taunt him for God knows how many hours.

"Aw, don't be like that. Here-" Marshall yanked the tape from Colson's mouth, causing him to yelp in pain.

"OW! fucker..." Colson mumbled, raising his wrists to rub at his mouth. "The hell are you doing here anyways? Fuck it, actually. I don't care just- help me get out of this," he gestured to the ropes.

"Nah."

"Excuse me?"

"I said nah," Marshall repeated. This was too good an opportunity to pass up, he decided, gazing down at the squirmy blond in front of him. "You didn't answer my question."

"What fuckin' question?" Colson spat. 

"Don't play dumb. I wanna know if you started all this just to get my attention. You got a crush on me, Kells?"

The younger rapper looked away, avoiding his eyes. "It's Colson," he muttered stubbornly.

"Well, Colson, you still didn't answer my question," Marshall sing-songed. 

God, he was annoying. Colson didn't know what he ever saw in-

"Wow, you're taking a really long time."

"Fuck you."

"If you insist," Marshall grinned, leaning in to gently press his lips to Colson's. Surprisingly, the blond wasted no time in returning the kiss, parting his lips to let the dark haired rapper's tongue slip inside. This had to be a dream. He just hadn't woke up yet, right? There was no way this was happening, no way that-

Marshall pulled back, eliciting a dissapointed groan from Colson. 

"Jesus, I can fuckin' hear you thinking," he muttered under his breath, moving back in to reconnect their lips. "Relax," he whispered into the kiss, earning a soft whimper that made Colson's cheeks flush with embarrasment. The older man pressed his bound wrists above his head, until they were rested against the arm of the sofa.

"Keep 'em there."

Colson wasn't about to object when Marshall was kissing him like that. He could feel himself hardening in his boxers as he was pressed into the couch by the other man's weight. He felt marshall's hands slip beneath his waistband, palming at his perky ass. The blonde squirmed out of Marshall's grip, panting as new air filled his lungs. 

"Nah, no way- I don't ride bitch," Colson stated defensively, glaring at the soft laugh that escaped the other man.

"You ain't really in the position to be making demands right now sweetheart," Marshall grinned at him. "Don't wanna bottom? That's fine. I'll see you around, Kelly," he spoke nonchalantly, standing to leave and nearly making it to the door before he heard Colson cry out.

"Wait!"

There was a moment of silence

"Come back, you cant- can't leave me here like this," the blonde said.

"You gonna let me have that slutty hole of yours?" Marshall turned to lock eyes with him.There was no mistaking the whine that escaped Colson's throat. So it was like that, huh?

"S-sure just...take it easy man," he muttered shyly, a soft shade of pink colouring his cheeks.

Marshall smirked, slowly making his way back to the sofa to rake his fingers through the blonde's fluffy bangs. 

"Good choice," he paused, brows scrunching up as he glanced around the small dressing room. "Lube?" 

"In my jacket," Colson nodded at the leather draped across the back of a chair. "Left pocket. You're gonna have to get it," he trailed off, embarrassed.

"You'd think I would've picked that up right Kelly? I mean-" Marshall's sentence cut off at the chuckle he let out, pulling his hand from the pocket, fingers wrapped around a little pink bottle. "Strawberry? Well aren't you just the cutest, princess."

"Shut the fuck up," Colson hissed through gritted teeth, glaring in the shorter man's direction as he made his way back to the couch. 

"You wouldn't want me to grab the duct tape now, would you Colson?" Marshall teased, sliding a palm up his jaw to cradle the younger man's face. The taunting smirk reappeared on the older rapper's lips as he forced Colson to face him with a bruising grip on his chin.

tbh, i don't even know what to believe anymore when im on Twitter. there's people who are completely okay with snc with k and m, and then there's people who are saying they don't trust the girls, or the girls give off bad vibes. some of it is mainly towards k since people say she was the who got m with colby, when ms singer liked him. i've also seen people say 'slutty behavior' towards the girls or they're using snc, and people say m is a 'homie hopper'...personally, i don't know what to think about them 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

The "girls giving bad vibes" thing happens anytime Colby (and I guess now Sam) has a new girl in his life, lol. According to some people, all he does is pick girls with the aura of spoiled milk 🤣.

The "slutty behavior" thing is not ok. People shouldn't be slut shaming the girls or Colby for their outfits or their appearance or their perceived sexual lives. That's just childish, antiquated bullshit, wrapped up in a bit of jealousy.

These girls got the guys. These fans who are upset, either feel a) they lost their chance, b) the ship they were shipping (solby/brolby/sholby/satrina/stolby?/etc) is sinking and they are really pissed that snc the characters in their favorite soap operas didn't go with who they wanted them to be with, or c) they are afraid that serious relationships=the end of the snc conglomerate as we know it.

Or maybe all 3, idk. I highly doubt the same people slut shaming these girls for their outfits or sexual proclivities are that worried about them being "girls' girls" or supporting other women, since these fans can't even seem to do that themselves, so I doubt anyone truly cares about the Ms Singer thing or the supposed "homie hopping." After all, some of them were doing this with Ms Singer when she was in the picture, so...🤷‍♀️

Anyway, these fans can dislike them all they want, I suppose - but they could at least come up with a better reason than "well she has fake boobs and only bad people do that 🥴."

Mason and Grace and Joe became like the Three Musketeers hanging out when they were filming…

Grace has previously said Mason was the only one who really took any photos of their adventures together.

Like I know Mason is too busy having a life and being a swell fella to keep himself informed on internet troll comments…

…but if I were him , and had everyone involved’s blessing?

I wouldn’t be able to stop myself from dropping all the Friendship Receipts and trolling the trolls.

Like all these alleged fans are out here on twitter, it’s chaos, and then - what’s this? It’s Mason Dye with the proverbial steel chair!

Like each tweet about how much Joe hates Grace? It would just get a reply of “lol” and a new old selfie.

“People are being vile towards one of my friends? Spreading bullshit speculation about how our other friend thinks she’s Weird and is just being nice in the press bc he’s a professional but somehow she isn’t?”

I’d just be so petty like “lol throwback to me and the work besties!”

Obligatory Disclaimers: Make no mistake - they don’t owe us proof of friendship. Those are their private memories/moments and we’re not entitled to them sharing them with us.

Do not ask him/them to do so, that’s weird and invasive.

Even if Mason does/did know about the Bullshit, it’s not his place or job to involve himself.

No one involved needs or wants him to fight a battle for them, a battle that they have no interest in having, and he has no obligation to do so.

Grace has said that she doesn’t let the haters get her down, she finds them funny - it’s the “just my opinion!” of it all, along with probably clogging her notifs that is probably annoying to her.

And threats to her safety, which should absolutely be taken seriously.

I’m sure she doesn’t give a flying fuck if people believe that her work friend is actually her friend. She strikes me as more confident than that.

Like. Just because Some People lack any sense of reason, doesn’t mean she does.

“Oh, that’s sweet. I worked with this person almost two years ago, and it resonated as a great experience for them. No none is forcing him at gunpoint to say these things - he must really value my talent and my friendship.”

She knows they’re buddies and that he has a high opinion of her… that it was a great experience, they respect each other as performers.

They had a great experience working together/being scene partners, but even if they didn’t?

I truly doubt it would be soul crushing. Like. They worked together two years ago almost.

Are you friends with every single person you’ve ever worked with?

How about people you worked with intermittently almost two years ago?

I doubt she would take it personally if he didn’t regard her as a friend… but… as it stands… they’re friendly.

They think highly of each other, both as people and performers. They’ve made that clear. Still, how often are they really going to hang out going forward?

Probably at cons. When one is traveling to the other’s corner of the globe for work, maybe they’ll catch up. Maybe. Maybe not. Why do you care?

Whether or not the performers are friends has nothing to do with the dynamic of the fictional characters? It’s not relevant to anything? Nor is it our business?

Like, when you actually enjoy hanging out with the person - it makes the job you’re doing together easier, but. .

Idk. I don’t get it. Whether they’re homies, or not, why is that… idk people Caring so much is just really weird imo.

The Buzzword is Parasocial.

im gonna have made something in a week or two to show u

but

i wanna talk

i am inclined to talk to u quick

we have spent a lot of time in the last like little while doing what other people told us was a good idea to do bc we had never listened to anyone before and it seemed like worth at least trying to adhere to the advice of people drastically more successful than us especially as all of us individually began to experience like wild and usually financial crisises. i dont like how it feels. we r not really like, feeling how it feels. clout doesnt suit us like that. it just doesnt. its not a house that was built to accomodate it and it doesnt and im off it and niggas can suck my dick and i want to be like normal again i want to like draw stuff and post it and let the waves take shit where it gotta go. this whole rat race shit is fucking obnoxious & i dont care. iv been Strategically Not Having Fun for barely fucking 4 months and im already fed up. twitter is wild trash and i feel like angry the whole time im using it. i like the lower traffic. i like talking. we r bored to death of having fuckin conversations with othr people abt when and how to make some shit to maximize all whatever however like i give a shit. im so fuckin sick of trying to do like smash bros tournament metagame shit i dont care homie like i dont care none of us care

i dont want to be dr fuckin content, i want to make you, like, gifts

when i like found out abt city morgue or like animal kaiser tcg or bape or like 9hst3st or any of the shit i like it made my brain feel like electrical and grateful and it anchored me in wht my feelings abt stuff were, it got me like, in my mode. i have been especially careful over the years to not talk like im abt to talk bc i dont like to articulate an assumption that like anything tht gets sent to us is like purely genuine and unulterior and definitely means what it says it means but like out of 100s of people who have like said tht the things we have made at some point made them feel tht way or like have made art of the stuff weve made or like visibly and admittedly and enthusiastically co-opted our style (ur allowed) like if 20 of those ppl are telling the truth then tht is like enough of a reason for me to wanna keep just like feeding the street then

when odd future came out it wasnt just those 11 guys rly it was sort of like, a surrounding aura of like, 75 guys,there was a official roster but it wasnt rly a clearly defined In and Out of it i dont think. it really didnt look like it. u can like tell an OF nigga. nakel and the photographer guy and fuckin like half the supreme people and that one nigga w the beard and all whoever like thats odd future shit. vince staples is odd future shit. it wasnt a like single beneficiary of the flow. it was like given to the people around them pretty freely. ICP kind of did a version of this although it was a lot less organic maybe. i dont know. i am losing my thread here a little

i want to make u something u can use is all

tht is how all of us feel

we r more comfortable trying to make something of use to u than we are trying to like speedrun building some kind of dumbass particle board instagram empire

i wanna hold thanksgiving for u more than i want to like herd u and i have been getting told for yrs tht isnt like a real thing & it turns out i like dont care if it is and its just like what is gonna happen

new year, ni-mue...

get it? it's like "new me," but "nimue"... haha...

tl;dr i'm going by a pseudonym now!

personal update

in the new year, as i'm going to try to make more witcher context (no promises, it's just a goal of mine—it's simply a matter of initiative and positive thinking!) i'm going to stop using my real life name online, because i realized that's probably not a very bright idea.

the thing is, my "real life" name used to not be my real life name—it used to be my online psuedonym, but for gender reasons, it was more comfortable than my real name, and i began to use it in real life, so now it basically functions like my "real name."

this didn't bother me too much on tumblr, because "nobody really cares" about tumblr, but since tumblr has become a twitter-alternative at the same time that i've realized i also have a penchant for using other social media sites other than tumblr, more public-facing ones, namely reddit and youtube, i've realized i should probably phase out using my real name for a pseudonym for general internet safety rules. and please, i know i'm not a child, but internet safety is important at any age. a good example has also been made for me by some of my internet friends who do use pseudonyms, and i've somewhat always regretting not going by one.

if we're mutuals or have spoken before or you just happen to know my name, don't worry about switching out my name or calling me something else *if it's a private conversation.* you can call me by my real name on discord or in DMs.

i still completely identify with my real name and i'm not switching my name for any gender-related purposes—i just don't want to have my name written down publicly on social media sites like tumblr, youtube, reddit, etc. where anyone who's never spoken to me before can just show up, find my name, and start calling me by it, or worse, trying to cyberstalk me.

so, what pseudonym will i be going by?

after giving it some thought (a lot of thought, as included in the read more), i have decided to go by the pseudonym nimue.

reflections about fandom experiences, explanations of my concept, and other ideas and disclaimers under the cut. skip to the end for answers to some anticipated questions.

experiences in the fandom

around one to two years ago, i began thinking about the witcher fandom and my role in it with more seriousness. ... that sounds ridiculous, i know—i'm literally just some guy on the internet.

but i seriously enjoy writing long posts about the witcher and having long discussions about the witcher on the internet. and apparently, there are people who also enjoy reading these posts and having these discussions. i've always wanted to prioritize this kind of interaction and spaces, as i find them incredibly fulfilling. maybe it sounds pathetic, but the witcher and fandom has a genuine priority in my life—it's a great hobby, an interest i focus on almost every day. so it stands to reason that i'd like to identify in this space and create spaces where this kind of interaction can flourish.

i don't know if it's the general direction of the fandom at the moment, but this past year, especially these past six months, have been pretty great in relative terms of fandom interaction—at least for me. the discord server is active, there seem to be new witcher book fans joining tumblr, and i've started using and posting on r/wiedzmin and r/witcher with some unexpected success and appreciation.

i'm trying to be mild here, but i feel like this fandom is growing and has a lot of potential—perhaps it's wrong to say this about a fandom that just turned, indeed, 36 years old, but i just mean—in my experience. when i joined the fandom in 2017, it felt like there was virtually no books content. most everything was witcher 3 content, which was great, but personally? i remember feeling deeply unsatisfied—and more than that, i was deeply lonely. yes, there were friends and mutuals (shout out to the longterm mutuals and homies!) but there was no daily conversation. this really continued for some time. of course, the n*tflix series made it a worse situation, even more despairing.

until march of 2020, when i promoted the first discord server (now a private server) and people—who became my good friends—to my surprise, actually joined. this bastion of book fans, as i'll call us, went on as a kind of cultural hub, and i was very encouraged by this. today, the new books server i created six months ago has taken this torch and functions as a hub. and in these experiments i realized—there are people out there, we just need to find each other.

but, i also realized, this will not happen by itself. we need to take the initiative.

by this hand—yes, all of that about fandom experiences was a huge non sequitur—i have pondered the creation of a witcher fandom persona, along with a youtube channel, also for a long time.

i began to think of this in mid-2019, with no shame i admit it was in anticipation for the then-upcoming n*tflix series. i, foolishly and naively, thought that i could create videos comparing the n*tflix series to the books and assessing what was accurate to what was made up. of course, it turned out that december that it was all made up, and there was little serious analysis to be had, because what could be created was either overwhelming—explain every single mistake they made, which would take forever—or nothing at all—it was not even worth watching and reviewing.

after that, i felt very turned away from the thought of a channel, and somewhat creatively stifled. it became a challenge to not compare, every single day, between what the books had VS what the n*tflix series had—not only in terms of lore, but in terms of fans. it suddenly felt even more lonely and futile to make witcher book content, even when it would have been the time that people perhaps needed it the most.

i perked up a little bit in december of 2020, but i ran out of time to create anything of substance—did i mention, throughout all of this time, that i was in college? i was free for a month for winter break, then had to jump directly back into the spring semester. and i did not fool around about my studies—i put every single bit of effort i had into school, then into work. so, of course, there was little to put into the witcher.

of course, the pandemic hit, and everything went online. i barely remember these months, they're all a blur. i had some great conversations and friendships online during this time, because all socialization was moved to online, but i can't remember if i put any effort into the channel during these months or not.

channel concept: inis vitre

then, in december 2021, i was suddenly plagued by some visions and motivation to put into the channel. i had this idea, along this line of thinking:

"i'm very nervous and insecure about creating videos online. my voice, my face, my body, to put it all on the internet feels too accessible. i need to hide under layers of pretend, of fantasy, of escapism, in order to feel confident enough. what to do?"

i came up with the idea of a youtube channel called "nimue's tower"—of course, after re-reading lady of the lake a bunch during the fall of 2021, i came to have more appreciation for ch. 2 and 7. there is a very lifelike, fleshed out world of nimue's island, her tower and all of its aesthetics and philosophy. adding to this that it seems almost untouched by fans, so why not create something around this identity?

i later changed the idea so that "nimue's tower" would be a sort of canon-focused, lore-focused segme—one of many segments—which would appear on the channel named: inis vitre. (that's the name of the island, if you haven't read ch. 2 of lady of the lake in a while). perfect! and this would open it up for other kinds of themed segments to appear on the channel—"condwiramurs' corner," for instance, which would feature headcanons, theories, and other "source: it came to me in a dream" type of content—literally.

so, my plan was that i would loosely roleplay as the sorceress nimue on her island inis vitre, who is receiving a guest—condwiramurs, you, the viewer—to help her with seeking the legend of the witcher girl. in united scholarship, we would "explore the legend" together in various videos analyzing different scenes from the books and the "lore".

cute concept, right? hopefully not too cringey? i'm still set on this, by the way, so i hope to do this sometime in the future—!

the amount of "roleplay" and acting "in character" is a variable i have yet to see to. is it nimue... as a youtuber? is there a more meta "hey guys, what's up, welcome back to the channel"? or is it a more serious "you're finally awake, come and eat breakfast, and then we can discuss your dreams" type, where there is heavier storyline? is it video-by-video, or are there consecutive, chronological episodes with a progressing storyline? ah, decisions, decisions. but this is the general concept i want to pursue, and the kind of title, image, persona i want to create. this has all been sitting in my head for around a year now, so i just have to write it out on the internet, to say: "i thought of this, this is what i am going to do."

reasons i chose inis vitre & nimue

again, this is possibly cringey, but i wanted to write out the reasons i resonate with nimue as a character and inis vitre as a place.

inis vitre, to me, is a metaphorical, figurative place. an island in the middle of a lake where no one goes unless they want to be afflicted by the mania of the legend of the witcher. a somewhat remote place, where only nimue, the fisher king, condwiramurs, and the serving maids reside. a place of scholarship and pursuit of the legend - with a library and gallery, filled with memories, facts, and dreams. thinking of it this way, i already live on inis vitre - on my own little "island", apart from everybody else, where i give into my obsession about the witcher to analyze and daydream as much as i like. and of course, the natural setting with its pine trees, beaches lined with mussels, pristine waters, and cool air reminded me of my real-life setting, too. so to me, inis vitre is a lot like a home.

as for the reasons i identify with nimue:

nimue describes her relationship to the legend of ciri in terms of pathology, a "mania" which "simply everyone knows" that she is "afflicted" with.

nimue is very curious and motivated, especially when she was young, emotional, and passionate about the legend (in season of storms).

nimue is very methodological in how she approaches the legend. she has a library of sources for this very reason.

nimue prefers, and seeks, the "real" legend, wanting facts and reality. owing to this, she is neat, and tidy, and demands respect for both herself and her work. she's studious, and treats it seriously!

nimue is regarded as short. yes, this is a serious reason why i relate to her. she is short, yet no one disrespects her anymore for this fact. it doesn't affect how her opinions are perceived.

of course, i also identify with condwiramurs:

condwiramurs describes her relationship to the legend of ciri in terms of love, calling it like the early infatuation and romance being replaced by something like the coolness of marital duty.

condwiramurs is, literally, a dreamer. her job is to read inbetween the lines and envision what was not stated or recorded. she also seeks the truth, but by using her own abilities and powers on top of the research.

condwiramurs prefers the "beautiful" versions of the legend, the story-like ones, where ciri throws behind her an apple, a comb, and a handkerchief as she is leaving the world of the aen elle.

to me, "nimue" and "condwiramurs" are just representations of the fans of the series, and the kinds of internal discourse we have. this is also why, in my opinion, these two sorceresses are not described in such individualistic detail, unlike the sorceresses of the lodge, for instance.

answers to anticipated questions

no, this is not kinning. no, this is not me losing my grip on reality. i just want a fun, witcher books-related name that i can give to introduce myself, but one which also resonates with me. the name is intended with a dash of some wry referential humor, it's not a serious, "i am this character, treat me as such" kind of deal. as i stated, the name "nimue" is representative of an attitude, a philosophy, the passion and curiosity of a fan of the witcher. it's not a literal name. that's why it's a pseudonym.

yes, i know some people find it cringey to go by a character name from the fandom you are participating in. my way of thinking is this: only the fans which have read up until lady of the lake will understand that my name is a witcher reference, and nimue is a minor character whom many fans already forgot about, or didn't care much of in the first place. thus, not every fan that interacts with the witcher will, upon first glance, find it an unbearably distracting name, so much so that they are unable to interact with me (like, it's not like there is a legion of "nimue fans" who make headcanons for the character, ship the character, etc. so that it would be distracting to call myself by this name). additionally, i'm not going to be compulsively introducing myself by this name in every post i make, it's more like... a business card. something to call me by, something to introduce myself as, a number you can put in your contacts. that's really how i think of names functioning in society, anyhow.

yes, i know that nimue is a female sorceress and it is a "female name." well, my real life name is also a "female name," and does that make me female? no. my relationship with my gender is my own. don't worry, i know what i'm doing. i don't care if this leads to me being more misgendered on the internet, because i don't need to prove my gender to anybody, i know who i am. and i can just hope that people will respect me for what i say and take me seriously.

yes, i know that this doesn't mean complete safety on the internet. remember that that is only one of the reasons i am making this change. my thinking is, better late than never, better to start now than never at all, and best to do it when it lines up with a creative venture and something i want to put my heart into.

Look, I stumbled into the bnha Fandom completely on accident - I was browsing through random tags on ao3, at this point idr which but there are only so many options, and I stumbled upon useless donut's nyquil (I'll link it in a comment below). Now, this is a 90k fic from a Fandom that I knew absolutely nothing about, but I wanted to know how the cuckolding was going to work with only one tagged ship because that's not how I'm used to seeing it.

Anyway, I had to read that entire fic with the bnha wiki open to even fucking know who the characters were, to have any sort of mental image of who these characters were, and then I kept reading fic because I had already put way too much effort into knowing who these people are to stop there.

Also I needed a new pool of fic to dive into for that dopamine rush 🤷‍♀️

I fundamentally struggle with media that seems like people won't be allowed to be happy, so my knowledge of canon events is limited to the first season of the anime, whatever manga panels I've seen on Twitter, and whatever is in fic that happens to be canon. I am pretty much completely divorced from Canon and I'm frankly much happier being this way until I know if it has an ending that's worth all the angst to get there - yes, I am very pro-spoiler and no I will not apologize for it.

But, for the love of every God, if Yamada Hizashi doesn't get a fucking hug by the end of this series, I will start a fucking riot.

This man has been through the fucking ringer time and time again since he was, what, born? The workaholic mom friend who is always the emotional support bastion for every other character, been through a ridiculous amount of trauma that still seems to be unresolved, and a frankly concerning level of self control in every aspect of his life?? Hello!! This man needs a hug and a therapist fucking stat and maybe a vacation.

He is in a total catch-22 situation from what I've seen of most recent chapters and his coping mechanisms are not particularly healthy anyway - so yeah, homie is going through it. I'm going to wrap him up in a little blanket and kiss his little forehead and there's nothing anyone can do to stop me!!

And that's that on me projecting onto fictional characters. Thank you for your time.

cruxes and equivalencies: chapter 1036 spoilers

For me, great chapter!

Our newest pretty boy, as a pretty boy, burnt out so fast. But he’s been fighting for nearly all of the Onigashima chapters, and the folks who have been drawing the Zoro & King parallels have had them totally spelt out by Oda this week. And the whole page is important, so I’ll include it:

Ah, but it does seem that our fallen angel followed the wrong god, even if he helped him (angel/King) out (false god, icons, golden calves), and King remains loyal to him (false god / Kaidou) for that reason.

Very interesting. So, if Luffy were to turn out evil, would Zoro still follow him? Great question. Maybe not, but

Zoro might become evil in his pursuit of never losing a battle, which in turn strengthens his captain’s chance of securing the crown. Interesting that he views himself and his actions that way, and with no regret, but “If that’s what it takes...” (for me [Zoro] to not lose a battle, for you (Luffy) to be the Pirate King), then yeah, he’ll go to and rule over Hell. 

A pragmatic decision, but also innate, and also part raison d'être. But, King was the same. So now the lines narrow down with fate  and skill and determination, and chance always has to play a role. We’ve seen Zoro’s demon form before of course.

I don’t think that’s all that we’ll see of King in terms of past, present or future. Especially with that Joyboy reference, and it won’t be a surprise when he becomes a Luffy fanboy. (The guys on twitter and reddit must be going wild).

Really interesting to think of Bellamy who was

 so loyal to Doflamingo, who treated him like shit, and King who is very loyal too, but with good reason. The quality of subordinates gradually increases. So King’s out:

But Law and Kid are still fighting Big Mom, and she’s infused the girders with the souls of the Beast Pirates that she sucked dry, I guess—or her own soul, a bit of both. The homie is attacking Kid, but he’s deflecting it pretty quickly. What’s he standing on? Is that part of his awakening?

And Usopp is going to be such a major player and is the main motif of this series in many ways.

He’s been charged with protecting Kin and O-Kiku, and they urged him (and each other) to leave them behind and save themselves. Clumsy wording, right? Read the panels below (which came before the one above).

Does it remind you a bit of this from 974?

Earlier, Momonosuke did not want the Scabbards to head out on what either he or Shinobu called a suicide mission, and of course the Scabbards have been through a lot, but so has everyone, and there’s another guy adhering to Usopp’s words in another way:

Momonosuke (looking fine there) trying to redirect the downward spiral of Onigashima onto the Flower Capital. Yamato is also running with his Giant friends (who seem to be Caesar experiments on the Shimotsuki samurai and friends who were held captive in the cave with him when he was a child, which indicates that Kaidou definitely exploited Punk Hazard for the worse once he left it, but we already knew that with the SAD factory). Yamato’s trying to stop the basement from exploding.

And  of course someone who doesn’t know about Sea Hills (Usopp) wouldn’t know about Izou, and would also think his aim was to save him (which in part it was, but definitely not Izou’s main goal):

(Stripping himself for no good reason there to show his Kozuki clan affiliation (but I’m sure it pepped up our two grievously injured samurai very well. And plus, He Means Business. Hope Marco joins him)).

But Izou knows all about him!

 I love, love, love that Usopp is commonly known as God Usopp now, and I love the casual way that Law and others use it, and you never know if they’re being sarcastic or not or, once someone has an epithet that’s what you use anyway.

So Usopp has the day saved for him again 😁. Love his casual passing of the buck there (above). But he is awesome!

And Oda is surely trolling the readers after maybe reading forums or having fan reactions sent his way:

I think, according to Artur from Library of Ohara, and some other writers, that these guys in the picture above (Raizo and Fukurokuju) have not been referred to for over a year (or for some time. I thought it was less, but I supplement the manga with the anime, so maybe I’m not as aware as time). So it’s really fitting that he has them using Paralysis Jutsu. That’s why they’ve been off-screened for so long. Haha (but Raizo is losing).

Also, Orochi wants Fukurokuju (the guy above) to return soon so they can escape, and he’s in a room with Komurasaki. I thought that the song that she was playing with her reintroduction was the song she played for her father, considering it was able to reach Zoro’s sword, Enma,  but it seems that will be upcoming. It’s going to bring some witchery with it for sure.

Kanjuro’s empty but vindictive hate (fire feeds on air, after all) is racing to the basement, and Apoo and others are hotfooting it out of there. It looks like Drake’s out for the count now, and the extra-spooky CP0 agents are floating around the place like Mary Poppins looking for Nico Robin.

Both Apoo and Yamato seem to have a connection and fondness for the Numbers (but maybe not for Drake).

And I’m sorry to put in so many full pages, but they’re packed full of information. I am so happy that BEPO is on a page with Zoro, Sanji and Killer, directly after they mention the demise of the All Stars and that Luffy’s allies have a one in million chance of winning, but just in case they do, the World Government needs to be ready. Ben Ben! (Where’s Nami?) Also, edit in, it’s been pointed out in a number of posts that Sanji’s eyebrows have realigned themselves.

I wonder if Bepo and the Hearts will get a little more development. Maybe in the anime. They erased Bepo a few episodes back, so maybe not But wait! 

These two clowns:

are having a grand old time. In the meantime, who is not human who is calling the shots? Im? or someone who only thinks they’re not human (Celestial Dragons, Gorosei, etc.) It seemed to be the first CP0 guy calling the others. Are Cipher Pol Aeigis Zero  non-human?

That was the end of the call between CP0 and whoever... Ahh.

[parkers-gal]

black!ag!reader appears on an interview with her natural hair for the first time which makes tom and her fans freak out (in a good way, obviously), maybe? :]

hope this is good enough... :) <3

—

After years of limping through the industry without a good hairstylist, hours sitting in a chair while somebody else did box braids on you, you finally had the courage to just go out naturally. You’d done it a few times, of course, but as things go, you got backlashed and labeled “unprofessional” for merely living comfortably in your own skin. You talked to Zendaya about her experiences too, and a bond quickly formed into a friendship that mattered greatly to you.

Tonight, however, is the first time you’ll be appearing in an interview with your kinky hair. You’d been on call with your mom while getting ready, only truly feeling comfortable when you took care of yourself. When Tom came into the dressing room (with permission), he gasped in excitement as he realized your complete look. He clapped childishly, eye crinkles showing. You shied away from the affection, scrunching your face up in the adorable way that he loves.

“Love!” he gestures to you and then to your hair. “It’s the curlies!”

“Yeahhh,” You sigh, head tilting in a bashfully smile. Tom embraces you, pulling you into his chest with a chuckle that rumbles through his chest. You hug him back, arms around his middle while he kisses your forehead.

“Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful,” He speaks between them. “You know the fans are going to flip.”

“Yeah,” You giggle. “They’re the homies. We’ll chat after my T-L calms.”

“You and those twitter replies,” he playfully rolls his eyes and the two of you share a laugh as the stage director requests for you to come out.

With a final nod, you link hands with Tom as you make your way down the backstage corridor. The two of you halt behind the cameras, set up in front of a table with supplies for the interview. As you’re motioned forward, you give Tom one last kiss before you separate, him sitting in a chair with a water bottle in his hands, and you to the front of the camera, skin glowing in the way he loves and admires, in the way that truly shows your beauty.

Eventually, the cameraman yells “Action!” and you’re introducing yourself while explaining the details of the game you’re about to play. You’re playing word association, giving you a chance to sing just a little bit and maybe even tease your upcoming album: Sweetener.

All the while, Tom is sitting peacefully while admiring you in your true state. His face is hidden behind his phone, taking pictures of you that only he will get to see. He manages to figure out his way onto twitter, and his timeline is full of excitement, thrilled and fangirling fans. Tom sees his name being mentioned in too many tweets to count, and he realizes now that he’s posted a behind-the-scenes picture of you and your hair.

Your fans are commenting crazy, completing ignoring the fact that you’re here to support your yet-to-be-released album. Tom curses under his breath, but a smile quickly replaces his worried expression when he reads all the tweets.

“OUR BABY FINALLY WORE THE KINKS 😩😩”

“NO LEAVE ME ALONE Y/N/N’S HAIR-”

“black queen😌😌 knows what she’s doing to us😌😌”

“i can already tell this interview is about to have the SUPERIOR looks”

Despite the compliments not sent to him, he still blushes — because he agrees with them, of course, and because he’s so giddy about the fact that you look like that and yet that you’re his. He looks up from his phone when your laugh rings through the air, and he’s reminded all over again, of how damn lucky he is.

LISTEN UP

First and foremost there is one thing we won’t be doing and that’s disrespecting Seo Changbin because I know for a fact that I will drag people across sandpaper floors with their raw ass before I let that slide.

We will not and I repeat WE WILL NOT DISRESPECT THIS TALENTED AND HANDSOME KING EVER

We are not even going to entertain the idea, I really don’t know where people come off thinking that they know all there is to know about everything and that their so called opinions overshadow actual talent. Please give me a break. And not to even start on people saying shit about his appearance, I am not your homie and neither is he and I know for a fact y’all can’t even compete with him on his worst day so please stfu, you’re entitled to opinions but not when they are dumb af and completely uneducated. I will use the 6 accounts I have for each of my Twitter accounts to mass report such stupidity and maybe if I get the time I might even create more accounts with disposable emails so stop testing the demon in me. I’m tayad

warnings: slight mention of cheating

a/n: hi so my twitter tl was talking about bff calum one day and this kinda just popped in my head so yeah enjoy homies <33

—

“It’s three am babe, why’re you still up?” Calum answered the phone tiredly with his eyes heavy, and his voice raspy. “C-Can you open your d-door?” He heard back in response, immediately getting to his feet and throwing his nearest shirt on. He quickly rushed downstairs, opening his front door and seeing his bestfriend, teary eyed with a sad smile on her face.

“Babe, are you okay?” Many thoughts fillled Calum’s mind as he tried to figure out what she was doing here in the middle of the night, with tears streaming down her face. She was crying too hard to get a single word out, and the sight of it made Calum’s heart ache. He pulled her into the tightest hug ever, her burying her face into his neck as he felt her small body shake against him, him filling the silence with it’s okay’s, don’t worry’s, and i’m here’s into her ear.

“I’m sorry to b-bother you.. but he came home from the club like 10 minutes ago, with some o-other chick and I just-” She managed to get out before bursting into tears once again. 

Calum knew exactly what she was talking about the moment she said he. She was talking about her boyfriend, who Calum was not the biggest fan of to begin with. Maybe it was the way he had such an attitude the moment he first met Cal, or maybe it was the way he told his girl he wasn’t allowed to see him again (but she continued to see Calum, which enraged her boyfriend even more.).

Or maybe it was his feelings towards her that made Calum never like him from the start.

“Oh babe, I am so, so sorry,” He rubbed his hand on her back at an attempt to soothe her. She shook her head lightly, pulling away from Calum. “No, no, it’s not your fault. Sorry for waking you up.” She responded, wiping her tears and taking a deep breath. “It’s alright, I’d rather much be up at three in the morning if it made you feel better. He took her hand and walked the both of them towards his kitchen. “Do you want tea? Pancakes? Both?”

She laughed at the gestures the boy in front of her was trying to make. “I don’t need anything Cal, it’s okay.” Cal shook his head, taking his kettle and filling it up with water. “Nope, I’m making you some tea. It’ll help you sleep.” 

While he was waiting for the water to boil, the room was silent. A comfortable silence though. She saw Duke laying on his little bed, and bent down next to him and scratched behind his ears softly. When Cal turned around seeing the sight, his heart filled with warmth and a small smile appeared on his face. I could get used to seeing that every night, he thought to himself, but snapping out of his thoughts once the kettle popped, indicating that the water was ready. 

“Two milk, one sugar, right?” He asked, turning towards the girl who was currently walking back towards the island in the kitchen, her nodding in response. Cal made his way towards her, placing the mug in front where she sat and wrapping his arm around her shoulder. She took her arm and wrapped it around his waist, letting her head lay on the side of his body. 

“Everything okay?” He softly asked as she took a sip from the mug. “Do you wanna talk about it?” She looked up at him, his heart instantly aching at the sight of her bloodshot eyes and her drained face. 

“No, there’s not much to talk about, it’s just that,” She took another sip of tea. “It’s just something I have to get over myself y’know? And you know I’ve never been the best at being on my own, and maybe that’s why I kept him around for so long.. I just, was scared of what I would do once I was alone.”

“You know you’re not alone babe,” His grip tightened on her shoulder as she pulled him in closer. “You have me. You know you’ve got me by your side whenever you need it.” 

“I know Cal, I know. And I can’t thank you enough for that. You truly are one of the best things to ever happen to me. I love you so much,” She responded, getting up from her chair and standing up to properly engulf him in her arms. His head rested on her shoulder as he wrapped his arms around her body, sighing. “You don’t need to thank me, I’m happy to be around you, I love you.” Calum told her, knowing that his words meant so, so much more. She pulled away, interlocking her hand with his as she took his hand and interwined it with hers, finishing her cup of tea. “I think I’ve bothered you enough for tonight. I’ll head out now, thank you for letting-” 

“No, I’m not letting you go back to that asshole. Stay with me tonight.” He cut her off, gaining quite a bit of confidence. Maybe it was the jealousy kicking in. “Are you sure?” She asked questionably, her head turning to the side. “You aren’t bothering me whatsoever, of course you can stay the night.” 

Her quiet okay made Calum’s heart jump in excitement, as she slipped off her jacket and set it on top of one of his chairs, then following him upstairs to his room. He threw her a shirt and a pair of sweatpants, with her quickly changing in the bathroom. She came out, seeing Calum without a shirt on and a pair of sweats as well. “Is this okay? Do you want me to put a shirt on?” 

“Cal, this isn’t the first fuckin’ time I’ve seen you shirtless. Also, I’m single now apparently, so it doesn’t even matter anymore.” She laughed, hopping into his bed and turning her back away from him, sighing. “Goodnight Cal.” “Goodnight babe, sleep well.” And with that, the lights were turned off and the only thing you could hear were Calum’s soft snores. 

Unlike Cal, she didn’t go to bed right away. In fact, she was up for a good half hour after he had fallen asleep. Her mind wouldn’t stop racing with thoughts, and her emotions got the best of her. Her eyes began to well with tears, and before she knew it, she was shaking in the bed, attempting to hold back her sobs. Fuck, stop crying, you idiot, she thought to herself. All of a sudden, she heard the lamp turn on and Calum asking her, “Are you okay?” 

She turned to face him, his face instantly filling with worry. “Yeah, sorry, I just couldn’t stop thinking. Sorry for waking you.” She wiped her tears with the back of her hand, smiling at Calum once she was done. “Goodnight again, sorry.” He hated seeing her upset, whether it was over some assignment, her losing MarioKart, or in worse situations, a boy he hated. He loved making her feel better and knowing he was the reason for her smile. 

“C’mere,” He sighed, pulling her closer to him, her obliging and laying her head in the crook of his neck. She wrapped one arm around his waist, hugging him like a teddy bear. He kissed her forehead softly as she nuzzled a little bit more. “You comfy?” Calum asked. She nodded her head, her breathing becoming heavier by the minute. “Yeah.” And with that, the lamp was turned off again.

It was quiet for a little bit, the only thing being heard were their breathing and Calum’s hand running through her hair. The silence was broken as she spoke up, “Cal?”

“Yeah?”

“Thank you for always being here for me. I know I’ve never been good at expressing my emotions, aside from crying, but words truly can’t explain how much I appreciate you being my best friend. It means a lot, and I’m sorry I haven’t told you that more.”

Cal’s heart fluttered at her little statement, hoping she didn’t feel his heart beat faster. He felt his face warm up and a grin appeared on his face, silently thanking himself for turning off the lamp when he did. “It’s not a problem at all. You’ve been there for me countless times, and it’s only fair if I do the same for you. I’d never leave you in the dust even if I wanted to.”

“I’m glad I have you in my life, Cal. I got so lucky stumbling across you.” She yawned, rubbing her eyes before closing them. 

“Get some rest, you deserve it.” “You too Cal, thank you. Goodnight, love you.” She responded, before falling asleep almost instantly. 

“I love you too, you have no idea how much I do,” He sighed, turning off the lamp and closing his eyes, a bittersweet feeling filling his body.

I don’t mind the truthing at all, and some theories are fun to read, but you guys sometimes reach way too far for proof and cherry pick arguments imo.

Like, I didn’t see any difference between D&G gf bit and that same bit with Sapnap, but I didn’t see my home timeline flooded with theories when the bit with Sapnap happened lmao

And while, for example, D&G did have several 10h calls, the fact that Dream notices them at all means they are pretty unusual (and George sounded surprised the first time). Besides, George and Sapnap did those super long calls as well, but fandom only focuses on Dream and thinks ‘oooh dnf are on call 24/7’. Actually half of the points brought up in your infamous anon essay could be attributed to Sapnap easily lol, but he usually goes unmentioned

Same with ‘flirting’ - Karl throws pick up lines at George with ease, Wilbur did his own brand of flirting, but no one pronounced them ‘hopeless fools in love’ lol. With D&G it’s also exacerbated by the fact they they are completely aware of the enormous shipping community and do ramp it up for reactions. Like George said after the bottom joke - ‘oh, Dream ran to Twitter to check for reactions’. Like, obviously they’ll play into it at times (and won’t do the same with other people), because it’s much funnier to flirt with your friend when there are people that *actually* believe it’s real.

Idk, but speaking from perspective as one of those ‘people who also flirt with homies’ - I still think they are just friends who have a slightly unusual dynamic due to millions of people shipping them. But also I wanted to say that despite all that I really respect your blog and anons for lack of hypocrisy! I can’t stand blogs who say that Dream and George are in love/soulmates (and also specify that oh, they are ~special~ soulmates, not like Dream and Sapnap!1!), and try to prove it using the most flimsy arguments, but then turn around and say that ‘oh, I detest truthing, you should never speculate on people’s sexualities’. Like lmao bruv that’s exactly what you’re doing here, cmon. So yeah, I actually like your blog despite a whole ass essay that seems contrary to that. Just wanted to bring another side maybe :)

I don’t really agree with you about Dream and George being the same with Sapnap as they are with each other. Yeah, they also have long calls and we know it (the infamous long georgenap call where sapnap read heatwaves to george ahksjdkasld) but Sapnap does get mentioned in loads of dnf theories and does get compared. Because it is different. If it wasn’t Sapnap would not make comments about being left out/being the third wheel, Quackity wouldn’t make jabs at dream or at dnf’s relationship only. 

I do see how loads of it could be attributed to shipping though! And I do agree with that to some extent, they definitely amp up their dynamic because it’s fun to see people ship you as you said, but I also do believe there are more genuine moments between them that are often not played up for audience (in fact moments that audience was originally not a part of, but then were brought to light, like the many text incidents or even the hoodie screenshots)

But also I do have a massive dnf brainrot bias and I do sometimes feel like here on tumblr we kind of shout “dnf real!” at each other in this massive echo chamber, so i do appreciate some outside look into things once in a while to keep me on my toes hdsaidkjhasjl. in the end, they’re just some guys and it shouldn’t really matter to me if they’re in love or not (even tho brain go brrrr) and thank you, I’m glad you’re enjoying my blog! :) 

#anon #i follow loads of blogs who think dnf is bullshit shakjdhals #some do actually think dreamnap or georgenap is more realistic #or even georgebur #asks #my future is your future #apr 21

So I've been playing Death Stranding lately. Wait, that's not what this post is about. Well, it kind of is. Hang on. What is Death Stranding about?

A: Norman Reedus getting bare ass naked B. Sneaking around ghosts with the help of your sidekick, an actual baby C: Carrying 50 Amazon packages up a hill while trying to not topple over D: Waking up in the morning and drinking 5 Monster Energy™ for breakfast

For those following along at home, the answer is actually none of the above. Despite the set dressing being bizarre to the point of near absurdity, what the game is actually about, like thematically, is actually really simple.

See, the development of Death Stranding was actually quite a trip. Hideo Kojima is the video game world's equivalent of an auteur director. He has a very recognizable personal style. It's thoroughly horny – he caught a bunch of shit for the design of Quiet in MGSV, but like, a lot of Kojima characters are just -like that-, including the dudes. Also, this is going to possibly be important later.

Anyway, so Kojima was going to do a rebootmakequel of Silent Hill, and the demo actually made it to the PS store and I could actually write a whole side essay about why P.T. (it was called P.T. for some reason btw) was brilliant game design for how it used the same hallway over and over and it was somehow beneficial to the overall feeling of horror. So Konami it turns out kinda sucks nowadays and they like, fired Kojima (they were huge dicks about it behind closed doors, too) and scrapped the project and kicked him out on the street and kept the Metal Gear series which was his baby (literally the baby in the sink in P.T., he snuck a bunch of messaging about the Konami situation into the demo like a breakup album) and Kojima would go on to form his own studio and poach some of the people who worked with him to boot. So the thing about Kojima is this: he's got a reputation for already putting some wild shit in his games, like a ladder that takes like 10 real time minutes to climb in MGS3 for dramatic effect, and a boss in MGS3 that summons the ghosts of all the people you were too lazy to stealth past and killed, or a sniper battle with a really old guy that he wanted to have last two weeks or some shit until he died of old age but he was "told that "this was impossible and not recommended." That is a real quote I just looked up. So he's coming off the heels of making this hugely successful game with MGSV and the hype of the P.T. Demo and he fucking, he like took all the people that were going to be working on P.T. Along like Guillermo Del Toro was going to co-write it and Norman Reedus was going to star in it, and he's like, I'm going to make this game called Death Stranding. And the first trailer comes out for it and it's completely nuts. Norman Reedus wakes up naked on a beach crying with a baby and there are floating people in the sky? So we're all like hooooooly shit, there's no one to tell him "this is impossible and not recommended" anymore. What's he going to make now!?

So the whole time the game is in development I keep seeing these tweets where it'll be like, Kojima and one of his homies smiling with some saccharine message about being spiritual warriors and changing the world. And not just Del Toro and Reedus, there was Mads Mikkelsen (another guy Kojima puts in the game just because he apparently loves him), and the band Chvches, and also like, Keanu Reeves at one point? You know how everyone has just kind of accepted that Keanu is a being of light? Here he was endorsing Kojima. The hype was pretty confused and frantic.

The game eventually comes out. A lot of game journos hate it because I think there was this expectation it was going to be, you know, less weird and have more of the conventional structure of a video game. That's not to say the average gamer wasn't also dismissive of it, but I think on the ground level there was more of an understanding that like, yeah, Kojima just be like that sometimes.

Because the game was a timed console exclusive and your homie don't play like that, I spent the first year or so cautiously viewing Death Stranding from a distance. I wasn't sure I was going to like it – except for being really impressed with P.T., I wasn't actually a big fan of Kojima's games as games – but I -was- sure that I was going to buy it, because of the way Konami fucked him over, just out of support. And the shit I was hearing was really out there. The primary mode of gameplay is just delivery packages. You collect Norman Reedus' bathwater and pee and use it as grenades. You get a motorcycle that looks like the one from AMC's The Ride with Norman Reedus, and when you sit on it, his character in the game says "Wow, this thing is like the one from AMC's The Ride with Norman Reedus!"

But I didn't really want to know that much about it. Something has that much fucking crazy person energy, you want to go in mostly blind, right? So maybe people just weren't talking about this, or maybe I wasn't seeing it, but then I watched Girlfriend Reviews' video about it and they came right out and said it (link provided if you want to hear Shelby say it more articulately than me):

Death Stranding is basically about the exact opposite of Twitter. It's about remembering how to be kind to each other, how to reconnect in a world where people are so often hostile to each other by default. Prophetically, it's about a world where people are afraid to go outside or touch other people and how damaging that is. It's not a game about carrying packages, it's a game about helping people by being brave enough to walk through a wasteland carrying their burdens because they can't. It's about rebuilding the lost connections between people, about restoring roads and giving people hope. I bet, for Kojima and the people close to him, it's about how to answer hostility with compassion. You can't kill people in Death Stranding. You can and are absolutely encouraged to fucking throw hands with people sometimes, but all the tools and weapons are nonlethal. So I think Kojima took all the Twitter heat he got over the Quiet nontroversy, and all the feelings of isolation he had from Konami separating him from his team during the end of the development of MGSV, and all the support and encouragement he got from his bros Del Toro and Mads and the rest, and decided to channel that into making a game that was a statement about all of it. And sure, it's a little heavy handed, and sure, it's a little saccharine, and sure, the gameplay sometimes borders on miserable in service of creating emotional payoffs. For me, especially in 2020, this message is a huge success. Social media should be an opportunity for all of us to feel more connected to each other, yet primarily it feels like one of the main forces driving people apart. Why is that? Why is the internet of today such a hostile place? I'm old enough to remember web 1.0: I can haz cheezburger memes; YTMND; the early wild west days of Youtube... What happened to us? I've thrown the blame at Twitter in the past, and I think the architecture of the user experience on Twitter is absolutely a big piece of the puzzle, because it fosters negative interactions. But in terms of the behavior, people have observed that 2018 Twitter was actually almost exactly like 2014 Tumblr. (For the record, Tumblr is now one of the chillest places left on the internet, because so few fucks are left to give.)

I think part of it is the anonymity. The dehumanizing disconnection of the separation of screens and miles. Louis CK, before he was cancelled, had a great point about cyberbullying, and why it's so much more savage than kids are IRL. When you pick on someone in person and you are confronted with seeing the pain you caused them, for most sane people it causes negative feedback and you become disgusted with your actions and eventually learn to stop being a shithead. Online, at best you can "break the wrist, walk away".

At worst, you can become addicted to "clout chasing" and the psychological thrill of being cheered on by your social ingroup. It's even worse if you feel like it's not bullying and your actions are justified because whoever you've targeted is a bad person so you don't have to feel bad about what you do to them. This is where reductive, unhelpful catchphrases like "punch a nazi" come in. For every argument, one or both sides have convinced themselves that the other side is subhuman because their beliefs are so disgusting. And sometimes it's even true! A lot of times, especially these days, people really are acting like animals or worse online. Entire disinformation engines are roaring day and night, churning out garbage and cluttering the social consciousness. (Kojima talked about this bit, too, way back in MGS2. As if I wasn't already in danger of losing my thread through this.)

The human brain was not built to live like this. You can't wake up every morning, roll over and open your phone, and be immediately faced with a tidal wave of anger and indignity. It wasn't built to be aware of fully how horrible the world is at any moment ALL AT ONCE, ALL THE TIME. And you will be. Because of another way that our brain works – the way we are more likely to share negative opinions. And because of the cottage industry built on farming outrage clicks, and because of constant performative activism.

It's not that I don't agree that being informed is important.

It's not that I don't agree that the causes people get riled up about are important.

They are. They absolutely are.

But we can't keep living like this. The constant, unending flood of tragedy, arguments, and hot takes. How much of the negativity we associate with online culture is the product of this feedback loop? What if the rise of doomer culture has been, if not entirely created by, has been nourished and exacerbated by our hostile attitudes toward each other?  Incels and TERFs, white supremacists, radfems, tankies and Trumpers – it seems like on every side of every issue, there are people simultaneously getting it wrong in multiple directions at once and there are more being radicalized every day. They are the toxic waste left behind by the state of discourse. And any hill is a hill worth dying on.

So what am I actually advocating? I don't know. There are a lot of fights going on right now that are important and we can't just climb into bunkers and ignore our problems hoping that Norman Reedus and his fine ass are going to leave the shit we need on our doorsteps. We need to find the strength to carry those hypothetical packages for ourselves sometimes - and hopefully, for others as well. Humans are social creatures. We need interaction and enrichment.

We need love.

So just try to remember the connections between humanity. Try to put more good stuff into the world when you can. Share more shitposts and memes. Tell your friends and family that you love them. Share good news when you hear it. Go on a weird fucking tangent about Death Stranding. Find a way to "be excellent to each other, and party on, dudes."
