I'm so happy we as a society moved past rping under posts that aren't meant to be rped under

[strebcrarchives]

People who take petty rpc drama seriously are the most annoying people on this hellsite. I'm not talking about serious situations, with people who've legit done bad shit. I'm more talking about people taking someone blocking another person so seriously. Sometimes people don't vibe with each other and that's okay! It's nothing to make a big deal out of and people don't owe you an explanation on why they blocked someone. It's not that deep! Rping is about fun and people have the right to make their space a safe and happy one. At the end of the day we're all just here to vibe! Block whoever you need too, put them on a dni, ect. It's no one else's business but your own. Do what's best for you and make your space a good one!

What was the rick mayall comedy with ade that rheyre two old fucks living in an apartment together... ik thats so vauge but im trying to remember the name of it to watch it again 😭 i just re watched all of tyo and neeeddd to find it again lol

Also hope your doing well its been awhile since ive been on tumblr to see or ask about ur page but i think abt u occasionally and im like yeah i hope theyre doing well keeping the tyo fandom alive

Also is there no charictor limit on these asks now????

Hi! Sorry it's taken me a while to answer this.

It sounds like you're describing Bottom, the '90s sitcom where Rik and Ade played two broadly middle aged bastards at the bottom (get it?) of society, loafing about, being pervy, and causing chaos. It isn't quite as surreal as The Young Ones, but it does feature lots of slapstick violence - Richie and Eddie have at least one very creative physical fight per episode - and there are occasions where something extra mad will happen, like the ceiling caving in, underpants being filled with custard, and fire farts (to name a few examples). Christopher Ryan also appears in a few episodes as one of Eddie's mates, Dave Hedgehog.

One of the original inspirations for Bottom was Samuel Beckett's Waiting for Godot, which Rik and Ade both loved and thought was funny. It was one of the things they bonded over at uni, and the two of them got to star in a run of it in the early '90s (again, with Christopher Ryan).

There were three series of Bottom from 1991-1995, totalling at 18 episodes. All episodes were available on Dailymotion the last time I checked - in fact, I have a post somewhere on this blog with links to them, though it may very well be outdated by now. If you have a mooch around online, you should be able to find them.

The reason I'm guessing you mean Bottom is because Richie Richard and Eddie Hitler live together in a (disgusting) flat in Hammersmith, and there are some episodes set entirely within this horrid hovel. However, Filthy, Rich and Catflap also sees Richie Rich and Eddie Catflap sharing a (not quite as disgusting) flat, but these characters were a bit younger - and, to be honest, Bottom is the more highly regarded of the two sitcoms, though I don't think FR&C is anywhere near as bad as some critics made out.

Rik and Ade made five live stage shows for Bottom (Bottom Live) between 1993-2003. In fact, the fifth Bottom Live was the last substantial work they did together. All five of these have been available on YouTube for some years, so I assume they still are. I personally just slightly prefer the sitcom (or maybe I'm just jealous I can't go and see Bottom Live 😂), and I think a general rule of thumb is the quality does decline a little across the five (apologies to my comedy gods, although I think Ade might agree with me), but they are all absolutely worth a watch. Rik and Ade break character in them from time to time, and they're allowed to say fuck.

They also made a Bottom film in 1999 called Guest House Paradiso, which features Simon Pegg. Rik and Ade play the same characters, but now they run an appalling hotel on the Isle of Wight and their surnames are different (which Ade acknowledged when I went to see him touring with his autobiography was inexplicable). The film is not for the weak of stomach, certainly not for anyone with emetophobia, and unfortunately it does suffer from the curse of most sitcom movies apart from Alan Partridge: Alpha Papa in that it doesn't quite translate. To be fair, they didn't have a massive budget, and it happened only a year after Rik's accident (they were both meant to direct it, but Ade took on full directing duties as a result of this). Still, it's not unfunny, and I think it's available on Dailymotion; if you like Bottom, you should give it a watch. I wonder what a Bottom film set in the original world of the sitcom would've been like...

I have an inking who you are, although I might be wrong. I hope you're well, anyway. 😂 I'm fine, just trundling along, coming up to my last semester as an undergrad. Tumblr may well have changed the character limit on asks, though I honestly couldn't say for sure.

Thanks for the ask!

i can give you a plot bunny for a prompt: veb sexting to help cope with the awkwardness of val being busy car launch media shit and prepping for the new season while seb is you know. not

fhgfjfjhjfffhf this made me feral for three straight hours last night

mild nsfw under the cut.

-

"Voi vittu," Valtteri mutters, shoving his phone back into his pocket before anyone sees. They're on a quick break between shoots, a brief chance to drop his media-friendly smile and ram a protein bar into his mouth before Liza from hair and make up insists on doing a touch up and they're put back in front of the camera.

Guanyu drops into the seat next to him, looking considerably less hassled. Then again, apparantly, he'd spent most of the break jumping from fashion shoot to fashion shoot. Mostly because Lewis had sent him a few of the posts, asking if Valtteri had anything lined up himself, mirth-rich voice loud and clear even over text. Valtteri just told him to piss off and cyber stalk his own teammate instead.

"Long day, huh?"

"Really long," Guanyu nods, sinking into his chair, "I wish they would turn the air conditioning on. I'm so hot in this thing."

He gestures vaugely to his race suit. He certainly doesn't look like he's too hot. His face isn't flushed red and it doesn't look like there is an uncomfortable sweat sitting under his clothes, like Valtteri is currently suffering through. But, Guanyu probably doesn't have someone insistently texting him videos from a sunny window seat in his kitchen from Switzerland.

Right on cue, his phone vibrates again, then again, then again.

Guanyu glances at him, "Someone's trying to get your attention."

Valtteri hesitates, "It's Seb. He's bored."

It's not a lie.

"Missing all this, huh?" he laughs, waving a hand in the direction of the set.

Valtteri isn't so sure. Maybe, more than he lets on. He knows people think of Seb as being media-averse, but anyone who actually hates being near a camera or a mic wouldn't last as long in F1 as Seb did. And God knows he likes the attention.

His phone buzzes again, as if to prove a point. Guanyu just snorts, and starts scrolling on his own phone. Valtteri looks around as subtly as he can before glancing at the screen.

There's a series of pictures, the angle slightly awkward, probably because it's hard to get his wrist in the right position when his dominant hand is busy pressing three fingers into his hole. Valtteri has to grit his teeth to stop himself groaning.

The last message is a video, and he quickly mutes his phone before pressing play. He's obviously propped his phone up against the wall, leaning against the other side of the window seat. The sun is streaming through, casting a bright white lens glare across one corner of the screen. It's probably accidental, but it's quite beautiful, and it does nothing to distract from the hand he has stroking himself, or the one hooked under his leg to get behind him.

It loops three times before Seb sends another text, how's it going there?

Valtteri pauses before he replies. Like a recovered alcoholic asking innocently how the beer tastes. Valtteri doesn't think that a single reminder of the glamour of behind-the-scenes at F1 would bring Seb crawling back, but he's not sure how much these questions are about making conversation, genuine care, or some kind of peverse self-flagellation, picking at the scab of an unhealed wound. He goes for deflection.

much harder now

The reply comes almost instantly, ive been told i have that effect ;)

God, he's a git.

Another photo comes through. He's lounging across the seat, and the sun catches obscenely on the come on his stomach and chest. Valtteri shifts in his seat, but they're called back to set before he can respond.

Gorillaz: Humanz

SHere it is, the comeback tour! I was so excited for this album, I sucked all the singles that came out before I could download the album. This album basically reminded me of the reasons I love Gorillaz. All of them. One particular reason a little too well...

Okay, let's get the elephant out of the room. This album is a bit controversial among the community for playing a little too hard to one of Gorillaz' strengths: showcasing cool artists. There are more than a few tracks where Damon doesn't even show up. Hell, my favorite track doesn't even have it on him. Me, I honestly don't care about that as long as I get to hear good music but for the rest of you die hard Gorillaz fans? Just think of this as a compilation album like NOW That's What I Call Alternative/Indie Hip-Hop/R&B/Electronica/Pop.

See? Rolls off the tongue. Now let's get started.

1. Intro: I Switched My Robot Off

Nice. Real ominous. Gorillaz really know how to build up a presentation. Feels like you're walking through the doors of the doors to the Shrine of the Silver Monkey. Anybody remember Legends of the Hidden Temple? Were there doors on that stage? Anyway, awesome.

10/10

2. Ascension

Holy hell, Vince really knocks it out of the park on this one. Different beat, nice flow, social commentary...He was not fucking around on this track. Damon's barely on the track but Vince makes up for it with his existential rhymes and chorus back-up. Man, Gorillaz has gotta take advantage of gospel more often.

9/10

3. Strobelite

That didn't take long, did it? Anyway, this is my favorite song on the album. Peven has an incredible voice, the music psychically compels you to dance and...that's it. Sometimes, well usually with me, you just need to go with Simple Yet Awesome. Have a good voice and a good beat. This song has both and I'm pretty sure that one day, a scientist will hear this song and will be inspired by it to cure diabetes.

100/10

4. Saturn Barz

Ah, the lead single from the album. Remember the 360 house, everyone? Yeah, you remember. Glad to have Gorillaz welcome back Reggae into their line-up with Popcaan manning the helms. He and Damon tag-team the eardrums with the power of dread as the instrumentation makes you feel like you're in a haunted house. Welcome back, guys.

25/10

5. Momentz

WELCOME BACK, GUYS! De La Soul returns to say some real shit about time and how you should, respect and stuff. Seriously, awesome track. Kicks so much ass and you can even dance to it as you wonder if this MOMENT will be one of the last times when you feel really happy. Nice...

9/10

6. Interlude: The Non-Conformist Oath

Hey, Steve Martin! I like to imagine a bunch of assholes listening to this and...just not getting it. Not us though. We get it. We're smart. Smarter than those guys...

10/10

7. Submission

This song had to grow on me but years after I got the album and after I learned to appreciate Danny Brown a little more like all humans should, this song became one of my favorites off the album. Don't worry Kelela, he doesn't carry the whole song. Her voice is so beautiful that it can calm a charging rhino or a coked-up Connor McGregor. These make the song a lot classier than it had any right being.

90/10

8. Charger

She's beauty, she's Grace...she's also Jones. Man, I haven't heard from this woman since Corporate Cannibal and she has clearly been keeping up practice. God, how can a woman's laughter both scare and arouse me? Damon's no slouch on this track either, singing about the monster that keeps us all tethered: the charger. I kid, I kid. Hey, did Damon really get a boner on stage when he sung this or are you guys messing with me? Message me if you know.

9/10

9. Interlude: Elevator Going Up

On a recent trip, I tried to go up the elevator but it was card-activated so a desk lady had to help me. That's it.

8/10

10. Andromeda

Damon has to do the heavy lifting here and his muscles have not completely wasted away from lack of use. He tells us to take in our heart and you know what? I did. I took this song directly in my heart...and my playlist.

50/10

11. Busted And Blue

Yeah, this song is a bummer. A good bummer. It's Broken's younger brother who joined the army to make his parents proud after he couldn't get into university like his older brother who managed to form a separate family with his squad and began to think that maybe he was good enough after all before his squad gets bombed and, as he lies legless dying painfully on the ground, a blue butterfly land directly on his outstretched busted hand...

12. Interlude: Talk Radio

You ever wonder how we get voices in machines? I know you think it's a complicated process but I know a dude who picked up the radio in his electric fan once. Think about it.

8/10

13. Carnival

Again, this song had to grow on me but one day, while I was thinking about Gamzee for a godforsaken reason, I thought "Geez, he talks about the Dark Carnival and the Dark Carnival isn't even some of ICP's best days. What's a good song about a carnival?" Anyway, Anthony can spin a person's mind and mind around just by singing. He's wild.

80/10

14. Let Me Out

Hey, wouldn't it be funny if Mavis was Vince's mother? She's not but that would be funny as well as cool. Her and Pusha T bang on the walls of this track as they rant about the politics at the time of this song. Yeah, they're talking about Trump. That car horn can't protect you forever, you orange bastard.

9/10

15. Interlude: Penthouse

Dear Penthouse: Hi. Does anyone check in on you, just you? I'm here to say I think you're important and you provide a necessary outlet for men to brag about being perverts. At least before the Youtube comment section existed.

Thanks for everything,

mytastessuck

16. Sex Murder Party

Ooooo, this track puts me in a funky mood. Like, there's a part but there's sex there...and MURDER. So you know it's an awesome party. Kick-ass, right? I know it's kick-ass. Keep dancing, people.

11/10

17. She's My Collar

Pretty sexy song. Gotta love people vauging about being used in a song. That's why we love Offspring, that's why we love Damon on his knees onstage. Hey, there was a post that said Noodle wrote this song about her girlfriend. That was an excellent post. Well done.

9/10

18. Interlude: The Elephant

I SAID GET OUT OF HERE, YOU BASTARD!

8/10

19. Hallelujah Money

Ah, the technical first single. Remember when they said that they weren't going to put this song on the album? Anyway, this is exactly the song we needed after The Incident occurred. Benjamin manages to calm down an entire populace while Damon just fearfully wonders what our future will be like...and he's in the UK. This song is one long terrifying lullaby to an entire country...until the end, anyway.

75/10

20. We Got The Power

A great way to remind listeners that no matter what's happening, no matter who's in charge, we have the power change everything. An excellent message for people who were still recovering from The Incident.

10/10

21. Interlude: New World

Okay, the bonus tracks. Should be nothing special here, right? Just some B-sides and I've never shown favoritism towards B-sides, right?

8/10

22. The Apprentice

A nice song from the same Rag n' Bone Man who brought us "Human". Zebra manages to lay down some nice rhymes as Ray BLK backs them both up with the force of her voice. These guys should form a team with how well they work together. Oh, they should make a virtual band! All they need to do is find an artist...

9/10

23. Halfway To The Halfway House

A very nice song if a bit overshadowed by the others on the album. Still, Peven can't be beat when it comes to crooning and he raises a song from a solid C to a B.

8/10

24. Out of Body

This song had to grow on me also but when it did...lord, this song is weird. Hypnotic suggestions, telephone tones, the song starts then Zebra jumps in to help then who is this person?! Why are people applauding?! Who are you people?! Why are there so many crows gathering outside my house?!

60/10

25. Ticker Tape

Well well well, look who's back. Damon returns with his old friend Kali to join the accuser of the vain Carly Simon to beg us to stay on the album. Sorry Damon, but I got places to do and people to go. There's nothing you can do to convince me to stick around after how long this album already is.

9/10

26. Circle of Friendz

Huh. Seems like a riot is going on. Weird for Gorillaz to get this real. What, this guy is just going to keep saying Circle of Friendz again and again? Is this supposed to affect me? Get real. It'll take a lot more than a nice voice and implications to...

To...

...

...Maybe I should listen to the album again.

Damn, that took a while. Shouldn't be the case next week when we cover The Now Now. See you then!

Just beacuse someone made something you like doesn't mean your entiled to disrespecting their boundaries, or knowing every single detail about their life. At the end of the day content cerators are people! I don't care if they have a large following or not. You are NOT entitled to their privacy and you don't get to push past their boundaries! Just beacuse this is the internet doesn't give you the right to be a creepy dipshit, or ruin something that's clearly a passion project made from a place of love. Treat people with respect! Content creators are not machines or untouchable gods. They're human! For the love of God stop throwing random internet people on pedestals just beacuse they made something you like, and TREAT THEM WITH FUCKING RESPECT! TREAT THEM LIKE ACTUAL HUMANS, IT'S NOT THAT FUCKING HARD!! STOP BEING TERMINALLY ONLINE FOR FIVE GOD DANM SECONDS AND SHOW BASIC FUCKING EMPATHY!! "This is the internet" isn't an excuse to be a weird jackass! :^)
