To clarify: 'dislike' does not refer to having a least-favourite. 'Dislike refers to one you genuinely don't particularly enjoy watching.

Me: an adult with responsibilities like jobs and university

Also me: haha big dick funny

one of my favorite parts of the sfth fandom is reading everyone’s reaction to bus for the first time. and i’m a bus enjoyer. i watched it for the first time and i was like “wow. this is peak comedy.” and everyone else is absolutely horrified by what is happening. y’all wouldn’t have survived a DAY with me in middle school.

"Who designed this place" Probably the same person who designed Angelina Roland's house and the Breakback Manor from "I killed the mockingbird" (Patreon)

just going to point out that the kitchen sink and the front door at 24 shropshire road are 3ish meters apart

All Star Wars references in "The Enigma of the High Visionary" explained:

Since some people asked for it/were posting that they didn't get the references, here it is explained by a SW fan: 1. "Your child, his vision count is off the charts. I've never sensed a power like it." So, in the SW universe, there is this mysthical entity called The Force, that allows you to do some cool ass shit and some people cannot commune with The Force at all, some are Force Sensitive and possess the ability to tune into it and use it and some individuals are very Force Sensitive and very strong in the Force. In Episode I, The Phantom Menace, two Jedi knights discover a slave boy on the remote planet of Tatooine and they test his abilites/blood for this thing called a "midichlorian count" (which existance was highly devisive in the fandom), which is basically like a benchmark score for how sensitive you are to the Force. This boy, called Anakin Skywalker, had an insane midichlorian count and was basically the strongest known Force user in the galaxy. Also, there is this line of dialogue in TPM:

2. "How many vision-chlorians did you measure?" A pun on the midichlorian-measuring thing.

3. "It was higher than the Grand Visionary's." In the movies the two Jedis from the gif above comment on how this child's midichlorian count is higher that the count of Yoda, who was one of the most powerful Force Users at the time and the spiritual leader of the Jedi Order.

4. "He must join us. He will join us." So, in Episode V, Empire Strikes Back, we learn that Darth Vader is the biological father of Luke Skywalker (sorry for the 45 year old spoilers!) and he tries to convince his son to join the Dark Side (i.e., the bad guys) and be Evil Together. He goes to great lenghts to convince his son to join him, as Darth Vader's boss would most likely kill Luke if he didn't prove himself as useful to him/Vader.

5. "I am a high-functioning dad" Not really a SW reference, but Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader was an absolutely shitty father. 5. "- At the council? - The Council have been blinded for too long. They don't recognise me. The granted me the... the rank of Vision Knight, but they don't let me sit upon the Council!" In Episode III, Revenge of the Sith, Anakin Skywalker gets a seat on the Jedi Council (the highest governing body of the Jedi Order), but is denied a promotion to the rank of Jedi Master. This makes him blow up and leads to this scene that has been so memed to death I can quote that shit in my sleep:

6. "Not just the men, but the women, and the children too." A direct quote copied from Episode II, Attack of the Clones, when Anakin murdered a bunch of people and told his crush about it.

7. "I thought we could watch your favourite film, The Phantom Menace." A lot of people thought this movie was absolute garbage (Sam included).

8. "I would love to watch The Phantom Menace, the best Star Wars movie." Sam hates it. 9. "happy-J" AJ loves it. 10. "I like how that alien sounds offensively Japanese.", "That looks a bit anti-semitic.", "Sure, that will age well." Some of the aliens in the prequels seem like thinly veiled stereotypes of some racial/ethnic groups, sometimes bordering on offensive. 11. Sam screaming "whooo waaaa bumballa" or something is him humming this song (which is a banger, just listen to this shit)

12. If you have watched the above clip to the very end, you will notice one of the Jedis got killed. This is what Sam references when he says "Liam Neeson just died."' 13. When Sam does the motorbike hands and engine noises, it's a reference to pod racing, which is basically the equivalent of motorbike racing.

14. "Meesa called Jar Jar Binks. Meesa Gungan." "That seems racist." In Episodes I and II there is this character called Jar Jar Binks, who is widely accepted to be the worst character in the history of cinema. He is also somewhat a Jamaican stereotype. 15. "I feel a presence." Force users can sense other Force users when they appear in a non-defined radius away from the user. The more familiar/stronger the Force user, the easier it is to pick up on their presence. 16. When Thomas Senior shows Thomas Junior to the High Visionary, it looks like the scene from Episode VII, The Return of the Jedi, when Darth Vader presents his son, Luke Skywalker, to his boss, Emperor Palpatine. Luke refuses to work with the Emperor, to the Emperor tries to kill him. Darth Vader then has a change of heart and saves his son by killing the Emperor. If I missed any, do let me know!

The first SW movie came out in 1977, second one in 1980 and the third one in like, 1983? My dad saw that one multiple times in the cinema hah

Then in 1999 The Phantom Menace, which I still wasn't around to see, but my older brother got to see it in the cinema, the next one was in 2002 (and I was around for that one, but considering I was just a sleeping, screaming potato I couldn't comprehend the cinematic masterpiece that was Attack of the Clones), and the last prequel came out in 2005.

Then the new ones in 2015, 17 and 19, but we don't talk about those :)

You are welcome for the explanations!

SFTH made a better Star Wars sequel than Star Wars did

[i-dont-know-how-this-site-works]

Ollo! 1. Youtube recommended to me a short with one of their letters (I think it might have been the fedex/wife/hairdresser one, but I am not sure) and within 2 weeks I watched their entire yt channel. 2. The Grape Depression 2. The Lighthouse, Clarissa's DIY Wedding, Ballet On The Battlefield 4. 4 years on this hellsite 5. I used to be a huge MCU fan from like, 2012 to 2019. Sometimes I read old fics and reminisce about the good old times in that toxic dump. Also Star Wars, another toxic dump. Being in the SFTH fandom is like going on a relaxing getaway on the beach with free drinks and no drama. 6. Really difficult to answer- But I really like John and Angelina, Samantha/Egbert, Titch and Derek. My favourite characters are Alexa, Locomotion, Don Vincenzio, Clarissa, Amanda, Maria- basically too many to count lol 7. I associate "Fly me to the moon" by Sinatra with sfth because Sam sung it in one of the longforms, "LOVE - L is for the way you look" because again, Sam sung it in one of the longforms, "Dreaming" by Blondie because it played during a break in a stage livestream and I really like that song and "Inertia" by AJR because someone made an edit with that song and locomotion and it scratched my brain in a really nice way lol. Oooh, I don't know who to tag... I hope you don't mind @very-confused-alpaca but you are very active in the battle royale and I remember your name haha

I thought it would be fun to try and get to know people in this fandom with a tag game! So reblog this and tell me:

What got you watching SFTH

The first longform you watched

Your current favorite longform

How long you've been using tumblr

What your favorite fandoms other than SFTH are

Your favorite SFTH character and/or ship

A song that you associate with a SFTH character/ship/longform in some way

Mine are:

The Irish Mermaids Change Game came up on my youtube algorithm; I've always liked improv so I wanted to see more from this group and the rest is history

The Off Season

Probably a tie between The Milkman, Moist & Magical, and Ballet on the Battlefield....but Creak in the Attic is getting close as well

Since 2016, so 9 years now!

My AO3 suggests Sanders Sides, but I haven't been deep in that for years...probably either Leverage, Skyrim, or Star Trek TNG

Character is probably either Jemima or Alexa, ship is either Egbert/Samantha or John Jacob/Angelina

I was listening to Aurora while writing my Creak in the Attic fic and I especially like the vibes of Little Boy in the Grass for Jim/El and Junior's friendship

No-pressure tagging some people to start us off, but anyone who sees this and wants to play can! I can't wait to read everyone's answer! @moonsanoverthinker @heliona @mangomaestro @ethernitty @rainy-weather-supremacy @not-an-idiot @ilikeasstrology @i-may-be-an-emu @bbatcat-09 @8pandacakes @theblackberryhimself

Something really interesting about The Leftenmost Window that on a story level makes it work so well but on a meta level makes me go "buddy...what were you thinking?" is that Egbert and Sally...are both played by Luke.

You may be saying "duh of course they're both played by Luke" but stop and think about it for a minute. One of the things that makes Egbert such a compelling character is how in every interaction we see him in, he is 100% earnest. He clearly adores Samantha, his "I love you" speech is one of the most iconic acting moments from Luke, if not from all of sfth, and nothing about the performance even hints that Egbert is anything but totally honest in this moment.

But why are we having this epic love confession in the first place? Because Samantha is worried that he's been harboring affection for Sally. And why is Samantha worried about that? Because Sally not-so-subtly dropped the hint that Egbert had been spending time with her. Most of the dramatic tension in this play is coming from that narrative thread (when it's not coming from ww1 itself)....and LUKE is the one who introduced that when he came on as Sally.

It's what makes me wonder what was going on in his head while on stage, or if it was truly a "no-thoughts, head-empty, I am possessed by these characters" type of deal, because while playing Sally, he seems determined to stir shit up; he goes from "he promised me" to "my feelings of guilt" to "there's one surefire way to make you think that" in the span of about ten minutes. He is SO SURE that Sally had sex with Egbert.

BUT when he's actually playing Egbert, he seems JUST as adamant that he was nothing but faithful to his wife, that she is the only woman for him, that what happened with Sally in the garden was entirely platonic/familial in nature. It really makes me wonder what would have happened if Tom hadn't decided to come in with the "No no, Sally only thought she fucked him, it never happened" angle, because the potential fallout of the affair being real would have been devastating. And who knows, maybe that's the kind of drama Luke "so it finishes with the villain winning!" Manning was going for, or maybe he was so in the moment as Egbert that he didn't think about what he'd set up as Sally until he was her again.

Either way, his total commitment to playing both characters so authentically is part of what makes this longform so good, even if when I take a step back, I wonder what he was thinking!

Shoot From The Hip Longforms #1-50

I wanted to make an edit to show all 50 longforms that SFTH have made so far. It's fair to say the camera quality has increased XD but the chaos has remained fairly consistent...

Here's to 50 more?
