Shoutout to my school's annual drama show where there weren't enough boys in the cast so 80% of the characters were in lesbian relationships

i love how mischief puts so many queer relationships in mmn and that its not because they're actively trying to but because they grab the first person they see on stage and then talk about fucking

favourite hobby is going home 👍 no thanks

Small life update :)

Hi everyone! It's been roughly a year and half since I posted anything on socials and...well there's nothing much to say other than I've been very busy and stressed, and thus creating content had moved down my list of priorities.

Unfortunately, this meant that I had also been neglecting any emails, DMs, or asks sent my way during this time and I can only sincerely apologise :( I am still not going to be online much (or at all), hence I've taken down my post about Mischief recordings (if you're looking for them...*ahem* personinthepalace might have them) However, if you have a burning ask only I can help with, do shoot me an email still! I will be checking my emails for the next week or so.

And just announced today, Mischief Movie Night In is coming back for the winter season! I will be tuning in to the best of my ability and hope you will be able too :) [Website link]

MMNI was what made me love Mischief so I'm absolutely thrilled it's returning. And because this page was formed by a video compilation of MMNI, maybe I might find it in me to create a new video to celebrate this occasion.

Hope that everyone is keeping well, and happy mischief <3

- august xx

(Slightly more personal thoughts below, feel free to skip)

I still adore Mischief with all my heart, but the burning passion I had for making videos/content has really simmered down. I forgot which video(s) it was, but shortly after I finished all the initial ideas I had, posting felt more like a chore than something fun.

I'm truly thankful for all the friends I made because of the whimsy & clumsy ideas I posted on the internet, but the unexpected stress(?) of having an blog/public page seeped into my mental health. Although I'm well aware these are all silly anxieties and everyone's chill and cool, taking a break from the internet really had a positive effect on my psyche.

With all that said, I don't want to give up this page because...I really love the name august and clouds😅Creating silly edits is still a fun past time for me, and perhaps one day (MAYBE next year??) I'll post my other fandoms stuff on this page :) Or maybe I'll just give up on the name and create another blog altogether because my interests are all over the place and I'm also quite an appreciator of single-fandom blogs. (And also my profile is the GORGEOUS ellie morris and we can't have a crack edit of tcg shop simulator linked to her image??)

Thank you to everyone who has loved my videos and in turn, decided to appreciate Mischief too. My heart is full everytime one of my videos is mentioned as a gateway to Mischief. Hugs all around <3

August out! (For real this time)

[august-and-clouds]

Although this Broadway production is ridden with many moments I find to be questionable & classic "throw some feminist themes in there and boom it's empowering and nuanced" when it's actually not - Once Upon A One More Time is still quite a fun show!

There's been a bunch of revisions to the book since I saw it during previews, and my opinion of it is that it's one step forward and two steps back. However, if you want a good time, an easy-to-follow storyline, and want to support Britney (the copyrights from the songs all go to her ONLY, it's one of the first contracts she signed by herself after her conservatorship was severed), I would recommend this show :)

Jennifer Simard as the stepmother does a thrilling rendition of Toxic, and she deserved every bit of the standing ovation she got during opening night (even though it was just in the middle of act 2!!)

IT'S FINALLY OUT!!!!!!!

Ninety percent of the Cornley Polytechnic Drama Society members are time travelers. None of them are meant to be there. Therein lies the problem.

(A story of two unstoppable forces: the flow of time, and a group of friends fighting to return to each other.)

hey hi the time travel au has landed! after a whole year in the making!! pls enjoy!!!!

Hey I wanted to ask if you can recall what episode of mmni has harry excitedly wishing someone from the zoom audience a happy birthday... I feel like I keep accidentally skipping over it while scrubbing through the episodes looking for it 😭😭

I believe the moment you're looking for is from the very last MMNI they did - "The Day Harry Got Cut In Half!" It's the second zoom audience Jonathan talks to with the zoom name of "We Love Harry Kershaw Crew" and Harry is quite enthusiastic about it!

(Harry Birthday!)

@personinthepalace i open Tumblr after a long absence and the first thing i see is High Q erasure

Who’s your favorite mischief movie night in minor character? Mine’s 12th century cockney guard.

[august-and-clouds]

ask game!! q39 and a89, love you loads <33333

:D

39. are you an avid reader?

in many ways i would have to say yes! it is the nature (/burden) of being an english major that i have to read a lot of books. but alongside all my other myriad hobbies i do love to read even if it is not for school. narratives and stories and words and love <3

here are some recent book shoutouts, some from school assignments and some just cause i like them! station eleven by emily st. john mandel (just finished, very good), monkey beach by eden robinson (just did a presentation on another eden robinson story in a class and ended up gushing about monkey beach the whole time), never let me go by kazuo ishiguro, just my type by simon garfield, ducks by kate beaton

(and on my TBR: boundless by jillian tamaki, the city we became by nk jemisin, a strange manuscript found in a copper cylinder by james de mille, essex county by jeff lemiere, humankind by rutger bregman to name a few)

89. sarcastic narrators: entertaining or overdone?

when i really ponder it occurs to me that it's been a while since i've read something with a sarcastic narrator, so i can't necessarily say. it feels to me kind of like a YA style? which may or may not be true, might not be at all, and also not a bad thing. just seems quite specific and i know that if it's done right it can be great. but i think it ultimately depends on how the character themself is presented, aka if they're otherwise likeable or sympathetic or simply interesting in other dimensions. (this is me thinking in 1st person pov.) that being said, if it's like 3rd objective pov and the character is just Like That then often i find it quite fun :)

A short update:

Hey Tumblr! It's been a while (I'm still alive and loving Mischief) but unfortunately two of my videos have been taken down by the legal people behind Mischief. I knew this would happen at some point having escaped the copyright strikes for around 2 years now :/

The videos affected are:

Henry Shields' Questionable Night (the first edit I uploaded)

Family Un-friendly Moments

Still, I'm curious as to why these videos in particular received the end of the copyright hammer while the others remain untouched. A possible theory is that both possibly harm Mischief's reputation(?) while the other edits are generally more wholesome. Either way, I've re-uploaded these videos as unlisted should anyone decide to revisit them.

The (public) playlist of the taken down videos (now unlisted) are here:

While I'm back here, I wish to reiterate that my Mischief content is non-profit, non-malicious, and only created out of the wish to bring Mischief joy to viewers. (Sorry especially to Henry Shields.) As always, happy Mischief!

Office Royale Promo (Harry Kershaw & Chris Leask) + special video benefit

Harry and Chris have written a new comedy short and are asking for donations for their crowdfund! I haven't been posting much lately due to shifting priorities and general time problems, but because I love Mischief and adore human art so much, I'm willing to post more.

Show me proof of your donation (any amount) - and I'll edit a short Mischief video request from you! No trickery, no trousers-hassle, just some Mischief love and joy.

So, any donation = a Mischief video request

My emails and DMs are always open :)
