You know what's one little press tour moment we never talk about even though it's Michael being SUPER loud about his obsession with David's body again? The Most Likely game Michael and David played with Neil and John for Prime. We're 43 seconds into the video and Michael says "David keeps his cards very close... to his sylphe like chest". Why not just say chest. What the fuck haha. I also love how everyone just decides to politely ignore that comment, because it's so weird to go there, like, all right Michael, calm down. It's so extra and it's such a Michael thing to say and it comes out with so much conviction and I think it's hilarious. Especially with the man he's aggressively comparing to some sort of fairy sitting right next to him. (Sylph: "A slender graceful girl or young woman"/"an elemental spirit of the air". Okay then lmao, I mean, you can't exactly say that it doesn't somehow fit, but it's so oddly specific --)

Anon, I almost choked when I read this message, because I damn near completely forgot Michael said that (and thank you for including a link and timestamp!). Here’s a gif of the moment, which is just truly jaw-dropping (but I encourage everyone to watch the video as well for the full effect):

Everything you said is so accurate, too, because it’s not just what Michael says here, but the way he said it. He practically hisses/growls out the word “sylph,” with a mix of that carnal aggression you mentioned and a sort of...(barely) concealed possessiveness. And it is, indeed, an incredibly specific descriptor, with connotations about David’s physique that seem far more intimate than what people who are “just friends” would know about each other.

It’s also that "sylph” not only fits, but speaks to Michael thinking about David’s body and studying it long enough to have arrived at that description. And we know that he has, because one year later, Michael referred to David’s hips as being “slinky”:

So there is most definitely an established pattern of Michael being loud about his obsession with David’s body (as you so perfectly put it, Anon). There is also something inherently erotic about discussing someone’s hips, and using the word “sylph”, especially for a man (in my opinion). These particular observations demand a purposeful gaze--that is, something more than just what you would see when someone is wearing clothes.

Does this mean Michael has seen David’s naked chest, his bare hips? I would venture a guess that the answer is yes...and not just in passing, or while getting into costume during filming. It’s the sensuality of the way Michael talks, as if he has personally explored every inch of David’s sylph-like chest and slinky hips with his hands, his lips...his everything.

(Also, the question that preceded all of this was “Who is better at keeping secrets under wraps?” and David votes for himself and says “I’ve been doing secrets for a number of years now” and then comes the freaking hilarious irony of Michael saying what he did. Thank god ONE of them is good at keeping secrets...)

But yes, I love Neil and Jon just tastefully ignoring the comment and continuing on with the interview. Even though David doesn’t let his reaction show on his face, I love that he and Michael are sitting hip-to-hip (in contrast to the clearly visible space between David and Jon Hamm), and I think that says more than any words ever could.

Thank you again for bringing this up, Anon. I’m so glad we got to revisit this delightful moment. Hopefully there will be lots more to come on the GO 2 press tour. If Michael has his way, I think we will...

okay re that post do you think it’s okay for a woman to get with her former fiancé’s best friend upon finding out that he cheated on her with a sylph on their wedding day, then do we think it’s fine…?

#the sylph also stole her wedding ring that is something i would be so mad about. #samael speaks

it is so pleasing when u use different colors and boldness and italicisms when you write large blocks of texts, idk why but its just easier to read

Hey, thank you so much!! They’re really fun to format, lol!!

The specific formatting choices I make functions as an accessibility tool! I love reading long text, such as books, research papers, and essays, but unfortunately, my ADHD makes it quite difficult to parse things at times without this kind of formatting. Not always, but… A good half of the time.

When I started posting long-form text posts online, I thought that, maybe, if I use formatting that has helped me, it’d also help other people, and the colors and such would grab them much quicker than just a large block of text with no proper guides to flow. Turns out, I was right!

The number of people that have loved- and even been inspired by!- my particular formatting habits has been staggering, and I’m very happy happy about it!

#i also help that it assists with reading the tone im ‘speaking’ in! #that was another reason behind me beginning to use it more heavily… #though it’s effectiveness on that front is probably a case-by-case situation! #either way- thank you so much!! #i really appreciate the sentiment! #… this was awfully long winded of me wasn’t it #the Sylph of Light is showing methinks #lol #nekro.sms

AYYYY ya’ got it! Honestly, fair enough, I do enjoy doing techwear stuff .<.

I tried to not do my usual typing style lmao. I thought my rhythm gaming and many Reinhardt vagueposting was clear enough

i was actually basing a lot of my guesses off the typing style tbh. and i see the rhythm gameness now (and the reinhardtness [wouldve never expected it though])

i think the clock is what threw me off from you the most. like it totally changed the vibes of the first set

#ty for the what the fuck #asks #speaking of reinhardt. he is homestucked (read: classpected) now. its terminal (sylph of light but im not 100% sure) #you get what the fuck'd back via a homestuck jumpscare

> ROSE EGBERT

CHUMHANDLE: telepathsTalent [TT] STRIFE: umbrellakind MODUS: Stack LUNAR SWAY: Prospit MYTH. ROLE: Sylph of Mind LAND: Land of Woods and Invention

TT: As they say in my metaphorical neck of the woods: échec et mat.

Rose has perfected the art of being the PERFECT DAUGHTER, with SHARP WIT and almost AGGRESSIVE POLITENESS. She holds her STUDIES in high regard, even if her PERFECTIONISTIC STREAK threatens to burn her out. She has a reputation to uphold, after all. Her love of PUZZLES often has her challenging GAMZEE in duels of wits, though this rivalry is fairly ONE-SIDED.

As is befitting of an intellectual, Rose enjoys BOARD GAMES, holding a particular fondness for CHESS. She regularly takes PIANO LESSONS, striving to play as many songs above her technical level as possible. She primarily aspires to become a RENOWNED AUTHOR, though hesitates to show her work to any of her friends for fear of ANY KIND OF CRITICISM.

Rose's STACK Fetch Modus works exactly as it does in Homestuck proper. She doesn't wish to hassle her dad about buying her a new one, as clunky as her current Modus can be.

Rose's relationship with her DAD seems pleasant on the surface -- she speaks highly of her father figure, and he speaks highly of her. But there does seem to be a BLURRED LINE between how Rose believes she should behave around him, and how she truly feels about his sometimes OVERBEARING PATERNAL LOVE. There is still GENUINE CARE for him in Rose's heart, don't get it twisted, but it can get tiring OVERACHEIVING FOR HIS PRAISE as much as she does (not that she realises that she doesn't even need to).

The Land of WOODS AND INVENTION is a land covered in LUSH FOREST, which is conveniently an ample resource for the consorts of the planet to use for COUNTLESS INVENTIONS. In such a competitive market, it seems that this land's society cares more about UNIQUENESS than FUNCTION. All this TIMBER FELLING threatens to make the denizen EPIMETHEUS upset for some reason...
