sorry to have to tell you this but if a stranger comes to your inbox or slides in your DMs asking you for your money with some sob story, no matter how tragic and convincing the story is, they are a scammer — especially if the story is obviously copied and pasted, formatted in the exact same way as the other 100 bots in your inbox

trying to make plans but im lowk exhausted and my social battery is telling me “you should only hang out with these people for your own sake” and none of them are available what do I do 🙏

(The few who are available are a LOT to hang out with sometimes and idk if im up for it 😭)

that’s what i’ve been saying !!

cmon guys, this is the plot twist every 2 seconds podcast. do we really think that any information given to us upfront about this guy’s character is indicative of what kind of a person he is?

nothing in malev is black and white, and really this guy is pretty terrifying and ambiguously moral in his own right—he kidnapped people to make a bar to simply entertain himself. everyone’s acting like this dude has jarthur’s best interests at heart, but really. come on chat.

My take on The Manager and Kayne

The moment John and Arthur enter The Managers office were told something very clearly. He looks and sounds EXACTLY like Kayne aside from the color of his suit. To the point that the boys think they were sent to Kayne in death. This tells me one thing very clearly: This is still a specific mask of Nyarlathotep. Not his core being himself. Or a different mask.

I've seen a lot of theories that this is Nyarlathotep himself and Kayne is a rambunctious kid who is off making trouble but that doesn't seem to be the case. Nyarlathotep has at least 1000 avatars or 'masks'. Hell there is an entire CoC game that takes a year of regular play minimum to get through and it only has you dealing with 3. These masks all look very different from each other. Some human, a lot not.

The body that Kayne is in, is one of those masks. It's the one Nyarlathotep is wearing right now. It's still him in there. Because The Manager looks exactly like Kayne we know that he's still that mask. He just made different choices, just like Kayne asked a different question.

I've also seen a lot of theories that add a layer of self loathing to him that pretty much every character in the show has. But I really doubt that's the case. Most of Nyarls masks aren't that manic or crazy. They're charming and put together, able to sway LARGE groups of people, in some cases entire empires. That shit takes boiling the frog, not dancing around in gore. The Manager comes across more like how his masks normally behave. And I've always felt that Kaynes insanity is the result of collapsing so many iterations of himself into one body.

I don't think The Manager is innocent and pure. Or wracked with guilt. I think he just knows this isn't going to go the way Kayne wants, and just like Arthur and John, wants to keep living. Nyarl keeps Azathoth asleep because he likes doing what he does. He's more than capable of being helpful when it suits him, and I'd bet that's what we're seeing here. Not guilt and self hatred, just trying to keep the status quo he enjoys quite a lot. Trying to differentiate from Kayne is just a way of distinguishing himself, they're identical otherwise. Even in behavior when he's not actively trying to stop it. I don't think he's pure and good and feels guilty. I think he just doesn't want to die either.

Sexiest Podcast Character 2024 — Scripted Redemption Bracket — Round 3.5

Propaganda

Bryony Halbech (Red Valley) (Boba Count: 3):

Dr. Bryony Halbech is someone who's very dedicated to her research even so far as to killing multiple people and purposefully causing the suffering of others to gather scientific data. She DOES NOT hesitate to kill anyone who stands in her way and WILL make you saw cryonically preserved bodies with her, can you think of anyone sexier than that?

Bryony is without a doubt the worst person I have ever found hot and I have 0 regrets.

SHE’S BACK GUYS

Rowan Chow (Camp Here & There):

Rowan Chow is a camp counselor at Camp Here & There who is afraid of the sky because of the terrible visions of doom he gets from it. Even though he's described as gloomy and shy, the creators of the podcast have said he'd probably be the best at flirting. We even see him make a move at another camp counselor in one of the episodes which made ME blush

[ancomboyfailure]

bastard sounds great in an irish accent. if an irish person calls you a 'daft bastard' it just feels right

the welsh have the monopoly on things ending in hell. fuckin hell and bloody hell hit different in a welsh accent. its like music to my ears

the scots have piss and shite for sure. "its pishin it doon out there" "this is a load of shite" absolute poetry

if i may speak for the english i think we do penis related words very well. dickhead, knobhead, bellend, etc.

and for all the shit we give them, you gotta admit that no one can deliver a 'goddamn' quite like an american. theres a certain weight to it that you just cant achieve in other accents. when an american says goddamn you know shit just got real

I love s3 of rv for many many reasons but a not-insignificant one is that Clive and Pam are the only ones even vaguely compared to irl characters in terms of physical appearance so we get an entire season of these fuckin guys

running around trying to get rich quick and generally falling apart
