#PLEASE DO NOT GOOGLE THIS! - Google Feud 3

[moonshynecybin]

To me, all Taylor swift songs about an age gap are actually about rosquez. Specifically dear John

sorry this doesn’t answer you entirely but i read it back and it got me THINKING. about marc age 20-22 versus marc age now. and again i’m listening to my podcasts having thoughts. as i do. and they’re all talking about how visibly HAPPY marc is this season. like we’ve allll noticed the dancing the twerking the VERY public and endearing goofy clownery. marc voice i am show :3 and all the podcast guys seem to agree it’s the happiest he’s been in a while, but notably NOT since 2019 (when he was at the height of his powers wielding competitive momentum like a fucking broadsword). they say it’s the happiest he’s been since 2014 ! way back ten years ago when the sky was roses ! which. YEAH that was his most dominant season. but. BUTTTTT. i would also wager (yaoi googles on please hold) that kind of happiness preceded the flavor of the sport changing for him pretty dramatically due to his feud with valentino…. post breakup hits different… and now vale’s GONE. marc sees him like five times a year. out of sight out of mind, at least a little. marc maybe doesn’t have to THINK about him every single day that he’s at work two feet away from him in a press conference. so you take that and add that his arm is something resembling a little more functional (still obviously very fucked lmao) and he’s on a good bike and he’s not winning yet but he’s maybe feeling like his old self a bit more. and i imagine that all feels pretty good !!!

Can you write a cute jealous Noah fic please, but instead of a guy, it’s a round small toy of Gojo from Jujutsu Kaisen because it’s really cute so the Reader is more excited over it (google fuwa Gojo and you’ll get what I mean, unless you’re not a Jujutsu Kaisen fan) I think Noah also watches Jujutsu Kaisen so he definitely knows who it is

note: I most definitely watch Jujitsu Kaisen I also watch a lot of other animes Just for future references. Also from fact they are the same height!

When the mail arrived at your house you already knew what was in there and you were SO EXCITED !!!

He was wondering why you were so giddy when you went to get the mail and came back with a small round package. It wasn't in a box, but just in some mailing plastic. you opened it so carefully as to not cut whatever was in the package and one. you had pulled it out, he knew exactly why you reacted the way you did.

You LOVED Gojo from JJK, He couldn't deny it. Gojo was a really great character. He was strong, he was funny, but he was also very much a lady magnet in both the show and in real life.

But dammit, he hated how much you loved him

The first time you had learn how tall Gojo was, Noah was impressed and so he said that he was taller than him

“ But aren’t you guys like the same height?-“

“ what no and at at least 3 inches taller than he is”

He isn’t

You already had a couple T-shirts and a couple of figurines, and some T-shirts, you had even wanted to buy that very special figurine of Gojo that came with attachable extras, which turned into a bit of a feud and Noah’s argument was that he didn’t want to see another dick in the house

He didn’t love him romantically, he wasn’t jealous….. but he wanted all that attention just for him, but he wouldn’t tell you that

Now here you were squealing about a very round, very adorable, squish mellow of Gojo hugging him very tightly. All he could do is smile like you he loves seeing you so happy, but the same time he really wanted to stab it.

At first, he thought it was just the whole fever. Everyone gets when you get a new package and this case a new plushy he thought was gonna wear out in a day or two, but it didn’t.

Whenever you would leave the broom or go, take a shower, or run out to do some errands you’d always come back and find it hidden in some odd place. Typically that were out of sight for you like on the very top of the cabinets or on the back end of the refrigerator

It was either that or you came back, and he was pretty much punched in the face and dented, despite being a squish mellow

You would squint your eyes and look at your boyfriend, who seemed oddly too calm

“So….. what happened to Gojo?”

“ what do you mean?”

“ For one his face is dented in and second off he’s facing the wall” you chuckle, pointing to the squish, mellow

“ I mean he’s exactly the way you left him so I don’t know what to tell you”

You were trying to catch on to this little game and you would sometimes use it to tease him

Like cuddling with your plushy instead of him, watching TV with something he really hated and if you got up, he’s the bathroom or some snacks he would hide it so you’d come and cuddle him instead

The last straw was when you were already in bed, and he was looking forward to cuddling with you after a long day of hard work, and when he finally wrapped his arms around you to come and hold your hand, your hand was holding onto Gojo

🧍🏽‍♀️🧍🏽‍♀️🧍🏽‍♀️🧍🏽‍♀️🧍🏽‍♀️🧍🏽‍♀️🧍🏽‍♀️🧍🏽‍♀️🧍🏽‍♀️🧍🏽‍♀️🧍🏽‍♀️

He basically yanked it out of your hand the night, and intertwined his fingers with yours, and just told you to go back to sleep with a kiss on your head, and mumbled something about you being only his

Sometimes he still use it whenever he’s mad at you he could get him to say sorry and to cuddle you again 😭😭

Get Therapy Arc’d

Chapter 1: Starlight and Starts

Notes: So I’m a huge fan of Nomads Tales & Audios’ work because that man COOKS in the google docs. Regardless, Trey’s about to give Tamlin so much therapy and I’ve wanted to do a crossover for so long. Said I’d get this done and I did but it took a while because life came and bit me hard. Enjoy the first chapter and please go check out Nomads Tales & Audios on YouTube

TW: Themes of depression and hopelessness

-So this starts out with Tamlin, in beast form, really fucking tired at this point because of how he keeps being treated by others and the weight of all of his life decisions and choices. Please get this man some therapy.

-Bro is on the floor, listening to sad audios at 3 am style, when he remembers that ‘oh yeah my fucking borders exist.’

-Despite how Tamlin feels at the moment, he also feels like a pathetic piece of crap to himself for not protecting his land, imagining what his father would say.

-But his father wouldn’t say anything, because his father is dead. 

-He feels his own power, the power of Spring, coiling around him, the thorned vines curling around his body, as if to pressure him. But his face shown indifference.

-He shifted back to his fae form, slowly leaving the vines as his joints cracked with relief at the minuscule exercise they’d been blessed with. Running a hand through his hair, he could feel knots of all types with sticks, grass, dirt, and whatever else had been caked into it. It didn’t even look much blonde anymore.

-Tamlin stood, head downturned, as if from shame. He threw a nearby tunic over his head and felt it fall over his chest and back, uncaring how it looked, much less smelled.

-And he left the room, walking down the hall and out the garden door, pausing for a moment to remind himself of how it used to look. Pristine, magnificent, its plants blooming with flowers of all shapes, colors, and sizes. The red that would gently deep into the yellow and it turned from pink blossoms. His mother’s handiwork. Now it was overgrown, vines hanging over dead and dry plants, long dead.

-He turned away his head in shame, not even baring to gaze upon the last memory he held from his mother as he walked out of the garden and through the woods.

-Eventually, he ended up at a pool of starlight, the same pool of starlight that he’d shared with Feyre, just two years prior. 

-And shared with his long childhood friend, now enemy, for family feuds could not be untied by those who did not reap for the same sewn result.

-He stood looking over the pool, remembering all the days he’d spent here, laughing, training, smiling. Reminiscing the days of past, when he was but a child and things were all that much simpler.

-And then he falls in, and feels himself just shift, but he doesn’t care and just, closes his eyes.

-He wakes up, couching in a new land. It’s loud, it’s bright, and there are tall buildings and weird moving signs. It’s overwhelming Tamlin and his eyes are making him want to claw his hair out. So are his ears, because what’s that noise that the moving weird things with wheels are making?

-He awoke in a shabby alley, and, gently, began freaking out. We stumbled out to see the world and almost lost his mind.

-Someone asked if he was alright and Tamlin just, ran. He ran into the woods and shifted to his beast form, practically horrified by the world around him. 

-He had no idea where he was or what was going on but he was terrified all the same, curling up in his beast form under the trees and growing bones and leaves to cover himself in nature’s blanket while wolves howled in the distance under the skirm of nightfall.

PEOPLE I WANT TO GET TO KNOW BETTER

((This one is going to be VERY Ace Attorney-themed this time around lmao))

Last Song Listened To: Just going by watch/listen history? These two Suspense themes from the Great Ace Attorney duology. They're definitely not my favourites in the soundtrack, but my friend had wanted me to pull them up after we heard one of them in-game to compare it to another song it reminded him of. But for like. Actually listening to for the sake of listening to a song? I think that was Don't Say Goodbye, an unused Portal 2 song that still makes me sad.

Favourite Colour: Light blue and light pink! Bonus points if either of them are paired with white as far as colour combinations go.

Currently Watching: Nothing in particular, actually! Even for YouTube series, I've been keeping up with a Super Mario Wonder playthrough as it uploads and that's about it (aside from like. One-off videos). Honor I swear I will get around to watching Digimon Adventure 02 and not just reading the weekly episode analyses eventually. Probably

Last Movie/TV Show Watched: Uh... Probably an episode of Family Feud Canada with my parents during dinner I think? As I've said, I. Haven't been watching much lately dgshfhf

Spicy/Savoury/Sweet?: Sweet for sure!! Then savoury. I can't handle spice at all ghdhdhfsh

Relationship Status: Single with no plans of changing that <3

Last Thing Googled: "Tekkou" (traditional Japanese wrist bands. For Ace Attorney research reasons gfhdhsf)

Current Obsession: Right right now? Ryunosuke Naruhodo my Beloved is in my brain with no coherent thoughts beyond "Ryuu my boy I love him my boy" GSFBDNDHSHDS. And also the TGAA duology as a whole god I love that whole cast so so dearly. As I said in a previous post I've been playing through it again with an irl friend, and it's been an absolute blast <3. Aside from that, though, Hollow Knight is still pretty consistently on my mind, as usual, as is Digimon and my awful horrible son Puppetmon. GLaDOS too, kinda just. Jumping back and forth between her canon Portal self and my Rain World AU for her.

i'm so confused rn, can you explain the goncharov thing?? i get off tumblr for five minutes

(Edits closed as of 28 Nov.)

Lmaoooo

Nah I getchu. So this post has been circulating for like two years:

Link to post.

But yesterday, it had inspired someone to do this:

Link to post.

Next thing I knew there were fake Letterboxed reviews.

Goncharov moodboards. Really good ones.

Link to post.

Meta analysis. So many fake meta essays. Disturbingly good ones. And of course the memes. (Edit: HAVE I SAID THIS SHIT IS DISTURBING)

As you can see, the myth just started to grow, characters and ships and tropes being added one after the other, almost bizzarely without contradiction, until there was enough of shape to the whole thing for people to start posting fanfic about it on AO3. "No beta we die like ice-pick Joe" is already a tag.

Link to post.

It was hilarious in the beginning, but the way it's developed within less than a day, kind of like it's being willed into existence, is freaking me out a bit. We're toying with powers beyond our comprehension. 😂😂😂

Link to post.

Of course, there could be an ulterior motive as well.

Link to post (tags mine).

Edit: guys, please tag these posts "unreality" so people with disassociation issues can filter them out (not this one, this is an explainer). <3

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

Edit 2: Aparently the boots in the original post are actually referring to a movie called Gomorrah that came out in 2008, directed by Mateo Garrone, based on the Scampia Feud. And other people had also been making posts about the fake movie for a while before the poster took off.

found by @thepotch

Edit 3: Explainer: why did those boots have this movie on them anyway?

Edit 4: Alt text added to all images courtesy of @valentineish ❤️

Edit 5: Turns out tumblr has done this kind of thing before. Nine years in this hell place and I had to have "Squiddles" and penis smp explained in the replies.

Edit 6: This post collects the Lore so far.

Edit 7: Lynda Carter (real one)/ earns more/ Tumblr cred.

Edit 8: Holy shit y'all we have the theme music. With sheet music. And it's on Spotify!

Edit 9: THERE IS A TRAILER WITH THE THEME MUSIC

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

I made this post 18 hours after the movie poster went up. Closed edits 27 hours after first posting. So all of the above happened within 45 hours of the movie poster going up.

Edit 10: Google document live-compiling all the lore so far (Day 3)

Edit 11: Masterpost of Goncharov soundtracks (Day 3)

Edit 12: Entertainment news articles covering the Gonch-posting (real) (Contd from yday)

Edit 13: The music from the masterpost all compiled into a 31-minute original score with video edits on YouTube (edit: unfortunately taken down)

Edit 14: Staff's Goncharov art showcase for Tumblr Tuesday

As of closing on Day 3 there are 371 works in the AO3 tag.

Updating with Day 3 shenanigans I missed yesterday:

Edit 15: Goncharov TV Tropes page

Edit 16: Ethics of Gonchposting

Important PSA 1 (how to reduce harm to Tumblr's neurodivergents)

Important PSA 2 (reality affirmation, anti-bullying)

Important PSA 3 (why you should stop trying to vandalise legit information sites)

Edit 17: Character lore from beezlebub whose poster they originated from

Edit 18: What we know about/ Director Matteo JWHJ0715 (#unreality)

Edit 19: Link to post with screenshotted and described NYT article (scroll down) and this golden exerpt from BuzzFeed: 💀

(alt text included)

End of Day 4 there are now 485 works in the Goncharov tag on AO3

----

Didn't get to update this on Day 5, so these are the Day 5 doings:

More trailers!

Trailer 1 (My favourite)

Trailer 2

Trailer 3

Trailer 4

I also just found out about the Goncharov Game Jam. It appears this opened a day after after the meme took off.

Goncharov was first entered into Wikipedia between Day 4 and 5 (attempts to vandalise it with fake info don't count, incidentally – please knock that shit off) under List of Internet Phenomena. This was then expanded into its own Wikipedia page at the end of Day 5 because, according to the talk history: "the topic now meets the notability threshold for its own artice due to significant coverage in The New York Times and other sources cited." We're on Wikipedia, people!

And then we made The Guardian half a day later. So while the meme is definitely dying down to embers by now, it still stays winning.

YouTube channels with episodes on the meme:

InformOverlord (4:30)

Lessons in Meme Culture (2:43)

End of Day of 5 there were 511 works on AO3, and End of Day 6 (today) there are 556.

🚨BREAKING 🚨 from Martin Scorsese's daughter's TikTok (real actual)

tw: unreality:

We did it you guys!

Clarification: Francesca Scorcese asked her Dad about the meme and Martin played along. Please reblog this PSA to help Tumblr people with psychosis. Thanks.

Final edit: Day 8. Media reactions to Scorcese's TikTok (everyone from Forbes to Vulture). That one Tumblr user who said they'd do a screenplay if their post got notes has promised to shoot a single scene, but please don't be dicks just because you reblogged it; leave them alone until they get around to it themselves. As of end of Day 8 there are 609 works in the AO3 tag. I love all you lunatics. Peace! ❤️

Give Me More (ao3) - notreallythatuseful

Summary: "'Sometimes I can come just from this,' Dan confides, the twitching of his hand revealing the way he must be curling his fingers inside of himself. 'Most times more than once.' His hand flies up to his cock, beginning to jack himself steadily. 'Phil, when I – when I see you, will you make me come, please? I want it,' he says, so genuine and so needy. His back arches off of the bed, twisting down desperately onto his fingers."

Or, Dan's a virgin who can come over and over again, and he and Phil see each other in person for the first time.

Happy Christmas, Daddy (ao3) - MaeTaurus

Summary: A few days before Christmas Dan finds himself tipsy, lonely, and horny. He creates a Tinder profile where he meets Michael, a nice guy who enjoys bossing Dan around and giving him various tasks to do for him. But who is Michael? And what happens when both Dan and Phil's family Christmases are canceled?

Prompt: Christmas Tinder date! Dan isn't expecting much - Tinder's a place, as he's known, for pervs and slightly too desperate singletons (hey, that's /not/ him, thank you very much - but well, it's Christmas and anything can happen ;)

Magic Shop (ao3) - your_starless_eyes

Summary: It made sense that Dan would need time to recover from the tour, just the same as Phil. It was logical reasoning.

How was he supposed to know? How was Phil supposed to know that it was, in fact, a bigger issue than he could imagine?

Make It 3, Just For Daddy - elliesfics

Summary: Dan has just moved into Phil’s apartment and at 18 years old he’s certain that he’s found the friend of a lifetime! Phil couldn’t agree more with that statement. Unfortunately, ever since Dan moved in, Dan developed a habit of getting off at least twice a day. The problem- he didn’t think Phil knew. Phil of course, has reached the point of being able to predict exactly when Dan would reach his high, though doesn’t have the heart to let Dan know that he can hear every last moan. But what happens when one night Dan, in what he thinks is private lets out a filthy secret.

Pain in the Neck (ao3) - prettymalfoy

Summary: Normally, Phil loved Dan's snakebites. The younger got them when he was 16, before he met Phil, inspired by the cool looking emos on MySpace he aspired to be.

aka Vampire Phil

Ready to Let Go (ao3) - auroraphilealis (peachrosepetals)

Summary: Dan doesn’t want to go to India in February, just before Valentine’s Day, with his increasingly homophobic parents. He doesn’t want to be a lawyer, or settle down with some pretty girl one day. Dan wants to spend Valentine’s Day with Phil. He wants to be an entertainer. And he sure as hell plans on marrying Phil one day. But more than any of that, Dan just wants be himself. He wants to be happy. Sequel to Too Tense to Be Undone.

Sensations (ao3) - Misha_with_wings

Summary: Sure Dan and Phil usually kept their sex life fairly vanilla, but sometimes they’d play rough and Dan was a screamer and Phil loved taking control.

Sweet As Sugar (ao3) - prinanalogicality

the blindfold he wears (ao3) - moonalive

Toying With You (ao3) - AmberNotes, mollieblack

Summary: Dan thought it’d be a fun idea . . . Something to spice up the dreary routine of life. This is what led him to the remote controlled vibrator, figuring it could add a bit of excitement to his day. One problem. Dan drops the remote. And Phil has no idea what the small plastic oval he finds on the train is, but he likes clicking the button and turning the dials.

Where You Belong (ao3) - blissedoutphil

07-Ghost - The World (Part. 2)

Episodes 11-20 of the 07-Ghost radio show. I’m really enjoying listening to this. It makes me want to investigate which other anime have radio shows. The only other one I know of is Zetsubou Sensei. Pretty funny that the lesser known shows would be popular enough to be on the radio. Links below for anyone who wants to listen (raw Japanese only). 

Episode 11

This episode kind of feels like the beginning of a new season because they got a new opening and ending theme. They’re nice to listen to but not something I would want to download or anything. They have a cheesy mid-2000s vibe to them (gee, I wonder why?) This episode was cute because they had Hakuren’s VA as a guest. It’s fun to imagine Teito, Hakuren, and Mikage all hanging out together since that never happened in the series. 

This time around they discussed “what would you do if X happened to your best friend” scenarios and read a lot of fan mail. As usual Mikage’s VA lost every game lol. I think Jun (Hakuren’s VA) said at one point that he thinks of Mitsuki (Teito’s VA) as an “ikemen” looool. I just googled her name and she does look really androgynous. 

Episode 12

More of the same, more teasing of Namikawa (one of the fanmails was just asking if he got bad grades in school lol). This time around the beginning conversation was about “who would make a good brother, sister, mom, etc. in the 07 Ghost universe?” It kinda bugs me how surface-level and basic their answers are. They never really mention side characters or manga-only characters so they really only have a tiny amount of people to shuffle through again and again. On the other hand, Namikawa never read the manga so...

They played two games: “which thing is smaller?” and what’s in “Pandora’s box?” Saiga flat out said she didn’t want to do the second game lol. She’s getting bored with the formula. I do think the show is stronger when they’re just chit-chatting or bouncing ideas off listener mail, but the games are easier to understand language-wise so it’s good to have a mix of the two. 

Episode 13 

This episode had Kuroyuri’s VA on as a guest which was a nice change of pace. They discussed grades again (you can tell a lot of the listeners are very young based on the listener mail) and played shiritori using dialogue from 07 Ghost. I feel like they’re getting pretty creative with the games they come up with. 

This episode and the previous one had a lot of ads at the end for 07 Ghost content (DVDs, drama CDs, manga, etc.) They mention the “upcoming live event” which I’m guessing is the same one that was released on DVD. Are live anime events still a common thing? I know the Tales of series has an annual festival so I guess they must be. -sigh- why can’t I live in Japan :( 

Episode 14

This episode was fun to listen to, Namikawa and Saiga crack each other up a lot and have great chemistry. I feel like I’m enjoying this radio show more than I enjoyed the entire series? Loool 

Anyway, in this episode they spent a long time talking about and giving each other nicknames (they settled on “Wada” for Namikawa and “Ouji” for Saiga). Namikawa got roasted by the listeners a bunch, as usual, and they had a “dad joke” competition. Two listeners wrote in about their worries, one was worried about his sore neck and the other’s husband was mad at her for spending too much on anime (lol). I guess this episode came out around the mid-point of the anime’s broadcast because they referenced the Frau dolls and the weird noises they make, which was funny. 

I think I need to listen to more Japanese podcasts cuz this is fun and great practice. If anyone has any reccs, please let me know! 

Episode 15

Sho Hayami (Ayanami’s VA) returns!! His voice is sooo dreeeammy. One of the listener mail’s mentioned his fan club and I totally get it lol. I would join if I could. Anyway, this episode was cute. They talked about their first crushes (Hayami’s was a boy!) and played a game where they had to read some exposition from 07 Ghost and pick out what was wrong about it. Honestly, I struggled to understand that part because fantasy world vocabulary is tricky. Namikawa lost as he always does and his punishment was that he had to talk like a baby for the rest of the episode. He did a really good job lol. 

They did a “last supper” segment again where they ate pudding (flan) with soy sauce, which apparently is supposed to taste like sea urchin...ew. 

Episode 16

This episode was decent, a little meandering lol. They had Hyuuga’s VA on as a guest and he seemed surprisingly shy compared to the character he plays. He was very quiet and didn’t contribute much to the conversation. I was a little nervous when he lost one of the games they played and had to speak “rabbit language” (basically adding “pyon” or “usa” to the end of every sentence) for the rest of the episode, but that actually was exactly what was needed to spice up his debut lol. His awkwardness plus the vocal tic was pretty hilarious. 

This episode took place after the live event because they had some fan mail about it. One girl went with her mom which is so cute (I can imagine dragging my parents to something like that lol). They discussed what it would like to be a twin and played a game where they had to read a bunch of tricky words (mostly katakana) really fast. It sounded really hard! I kinda wish I had the script so I could try for myself. I really like reading katakana 

Episode 17

This episode felt really short, the nico nico video is only 38 minutes long! Castor’s VA guest starred this time and was way more energetic than Hyuuga’s VA in the last episode. He was hamming it up a lot. They discussed sleeping positions and played a game where they got a list of 3 07 Ghost characters and had to figure out what they all had in common. I had fun playing along (although I didn’t do very well lol). Namikawa lost and had to use “zamasu” language? I’m not really sure what that is. 

At the end of the episode they read some listener mail and gave love confession advice lol. Almost made it a third of a way through the show! 

Episode 18

A nice, simple no-guest episode. This time around they discussed what pets would suit them and played family feud basically (and failed miserably). Saiga and Namikawa both got “punished” for failing the game and had to speak like the opposite gender. They both really struggled to do so lol. Masculine/feminine speech is so weird to me. I’m sure English has some, subtle version of this, but if someone told me to “talk like a guy” I wouldn’t know what to do. (Lower my voice? Say “bro” a lot?) It’s always interesting when other languages have a quirk that there’s no real English equivalent for.

This episode felt kind of lazy. They spent most of it just chit-chatting and didn’t seem like they wanted to do the regular corner. They ended up running out of time for the final fan letter reading. I’m not complaining really, it was just noticeably less professional than some other episodes. 

Episode 19

Not gonna lie, the Japanese was a little tricky for me in this one. Haruse’s VA made his show debut and I didn’t recognize his voice at all lol. Haruse barely talks in the show so I was like “???” They asked him what kind of character Haruse is and he was like “...nice?” Lol poor Haruse. Not much to say about him anime-wise. 

This definitely felt like a “we’re running out of ideas” episode. The game they played was really weird. Basically it was “what do you do when X natural disaster occurs?” with 07 ghost characters illustrating what to do vs. what not to do. Haruse’s VA lost and his punishment was to speak in broken Japanese (like annoying foreigner characters do in anime). It was really obnoxious lol. The episode ended with a “Last supper” segment but I had trouble following what they were eating :/ Almost to episode 20!

Episode 20

Another Hyuuga episode, although I felt like he didn’t talk as much this time. These episodes are really starting to blend together. This one was recorded in October so they discussed autumn and things they like/dislike about it. Practically every fan letter was about Namikawa (either bullying or praising him). I finally understand the “Wada” joke (namikaWA DAisuke), it took me a few episodes.

Unfortunately I didn’t really understand much of this episode, especially the game they played. It sounded like they had to pick a symbol to represent a character from 07 Ghost, but I’m not sure if that’s the gist of it. Namikawa lost as usual and his punishment was to speak like an old man. I thought he did a great job! Sometimes I forget I’m listening to voice actors instead of regular radio hosts. It makes sense that all of their punishments would be impressions related.
