HAPPY UPDATE DAY!!! 🏠
Tumblr media
After all this time, all this hard work, I can finally tell you all more about my work on Welcome Home beyond "Dude Just Trust Me I Work On It I Swear" !!
I've been calling myself the "production manager" because a lot of what I've done has been in that realm - making checklists and spreadsheets, doing research, sending emails, and generally keeping our wonderful team on track to do the incredible things they do, with all the support they need! I'm very lucky and grateful to get to support Clown and all the incredible actors and artists we've brought on!!
that said, over the time I've been part of this project (I looked back and realized February 1st this year is when it all Officially Began, can you believe it), I've gotten to work on some more obvious, visible things you'll find on the site today as well! most prominently, I am very proud to say, I was the curator of the very real Welcome Home exhibition!! Clown was extremely generous and supportive in letting me bring his work into the world this way, and with their help it became bigger and better than I ever could have dreamed! Though this iteration was very small and private due to our venue, I hope the few of you I know who attended enjoyed it very much, and for the rest, know we hope to find ways to host the exhibition in other and more public venues in the future! (Where and when, I don't know, but I'll work hard to make it happen...!)
As part of the exhibition, I was able to create a lot of new props to help build the world of Welcome Home! Most excitingly, I was able to create a real working toy telephone, and help Clown to find our talented group of voice actors to provide the recordings! And of course, I was able to meet dear sweet Wally and Home themselves, who were the sweetest little peanuts and a true pair of professionals! Just delights to work with!!
Tumblr media
Though this was my most prominent contribution, somehow, that wasn't all! You will find bits and pieces of my art and writing all over the newest website update (some places more obvious than others...), and I was able to contribute to building many of the new and updated site pages as well! We've all worked so hard on everything you'll find there, so I hope you all enjoy the exciting new additions to the neighborhood!
My final little statement while I have my sweet little soapbox here... every last one of you who has provided support, even just one ko-fi tip, has Directly made this update Possible!! Not only do these tips allow us very literally to pay for supplies, art, voice work and the like, it very directly Supports and Improves the livelihoods of every single person involved!! so if you have the means, and would like to do so, please do consider tipping or subscribing to Clown and/or any of the other artists and actors involved!
And with all that... thank you, neighbors!! And Welcome Home!!

I was just gonna drop a message thanking you for calling out that one person a few days ago that used art without credit but you honestly seem cool I like your blog : )
Hahaha no thanks necessary! People need to fkn quit it with how normal its become just to rip off artists and creators. The definition of art theft has gotten so misconstrued, who cares if youre not claiming the art as yours. People deserve to be credited for their work scream. I genuinely dont understand why you’d rather steal work that you seemingly like rather than reblog their shit? Like what a way to piss off creators that you apparently like omg.

There are times when I really hate HOTD
You have no idea how much I want the HOTD writers to go to hell. I'm a patient person and I'm used to adaptations being different from the original, but what they did with HOTD is a huge piece of garbage. Adaptations often change appearance, plot, time frame, but a drastic change in personality is something I cannot tolerate.
What the hell happened to Alicent? Maybe the real Alicent was a stepmother from hell, but at least she knew what she wanted and was ready to do anything to achieve what she wanted. What happened to the boastful, arrogant, stupid and hot-tempered Aemond? And Aegon? This guy was a hot-tempered, spoiled hedonist, but not Mr. "I do what my mom says. My parents don't love me. It's time to show everyone my sad eyes."
Rhaenyra and Alicent's "friendship" is just 🤮. What the hell is friendship? From the very beginning, show!Alicent was jealous of show!Rhaenyra's position and status and her relationship with her parents. The real Rhaenyra would never have noticed someone like Alicent, let alone befriend her. Both girls had different upbringings, interests and worldviews. What common topics of communication did they have?
What kind of love are we talking about between Show!Viserys and Show!Rhaenyra? For half the season, all Show!Viserys did was just yell at his daughter and not listen to her, and for the second he looked like the walking dead.
How the writers couldn't come up with anything better than stealing some of Rhaenyra's things. Like her signature black dress, a forced marriage to a man who didn't care about Rhaenyra. Did you notice show!Rhaenyra's dresses and hairstyles? The book literally had a description of how Rhaenyra dressed and what hairstyle she preferred, but the writers apparently read the book from Wikipedia and skipped every second word.
I showed my friend, who hasn't watched the show and doesn't know anything about GOT or HOTD, photos of young show!Rhaenyra and show!Alicent from the series and asked what she thought. Do you know what the answer was? My friend decided that show!Alicent was a princess and show!Rhaenyra was a servant.
Just look at the banners they made for the second season. The green banner is really nice, but the black banner looks like a cheap towel.
What about the blacks on the show? How stupid must a girl be, who grew up in a world in which the main purpose of a woman is marriage and the birth of an heir, and who is the heir to the throne, to think that she can avoid marriage? The real Viserys didn't give Rhaenyra a choice and chose her husband himself, but did show!Rhaenyra really think she could avoid marriage? Show!Raenyra is the height of stupidity and absurdity, which constantly contradicts itself.
And Daemon? I really feel sorry for Matt. He is a talented actor and tries very hard. I think if the show had more skilled writers, he could have portrayed the real Daemon. But show!Daemon is a stupid, illogical, absurd clown who doesn’t understand what he wants and doesn’t follow through. This character has so many fans solely because of Matt's charisma, the writers should kiss his feet for that.
And of course, my favorite. There's only been one season out, but the writers have already demonstrated their style of throwing aside logic for the sake of effect. I mean, show!Laena's self-immolation and the way show!Rhaenys ruined show!Aegon's coronation. Do you know what the people who work on the show said in interviews? They added these scenes because they thought it would be cooler and more impressive. Wasn’t the creators of GOT guided by a similar point of view when working on the plot of the last seasons of the show?
And now, because of this show, a lot of people have come out of nowhere to argue that women should not hold leadership positions, remain silent and accept neglect because it is necessary, and rapists and aggressors can be forgiven if they are played by beautiful actors or if the characters lacked parental support love. According to this logic, people should love Joffrey and Ramsay since they both also lacked parental love in childhood.
This show really had potential and a good cast. But the screenwriters' work destroyed everything from the very beginning. Many people still have hopes that everything will be better in the second season, but I am in despair. No, seriously, look at the team banners for season two. They really did a good job on the green banner and that would be fine if the black banner wasn’t yet another proof of the writers’ bias. Black team, we have no hope.

I just saw on YouTube that MatPat has made a GTLive about Welcome Home.
I’m honestly conflicted. On the one hand, I am genuinely happy that a big YouTuber like MatPat has noticed Welcome Home, as I do love his theories on occasion.
But I’m also worried. After everything Clown has been through with the sudden rush of a massive following, and also me knowing how MatPat’s very large fan base can be VERY zealous, I’m genuinely worried for Clown. I know they’re going through a lot and are currently on a well deserved hiatus, but I do have the sudden thought that the prospect of MatPat’s fan base getting too zealous may end up doing harm in the long term for them. They have done that before on other things.
And that’s not even getting into MatPat potentially making a theory video about Welcome Home when the project hasn’t yet left the Prologue Stage of its story, which may end up again doing harm.
I wonder what your opinion on all of this may be. What do you think of MatPat covering this potentially as a theory and do you worry about his fan base becoming zealous for Welcome Home?
hello sweetheart! thank you so much for sending in this ask, and for putting your thoughts down in such a respectful manner - very well articulated 💖 i'm going to pop my response under a read more, as i feel it deserves a good chunk of text for a reply.
and if you're a new Welcome Home fan - welcome to the fandom! 🥰 here's a simple guide i wrote which explains what Welcome Home is, where the story is taking place, and how you can support the creator.
okay, here we go! ✨
first of all, i understand why you're concerned. this explosive growth has been tough for Clown - and having caught the edge of the tidal wave of attention just for Welcome Home fanworks, i don't blame them for being so stressed! no one could've predicted Welcome Home would blow up so much, although it is a testament to Clown's artistic talent and skill 🔥
here's the thing: fandom isn't something you can control. i feel that even though this concern comes from a good place, we may be sliding a little too close to gatekeeping territory, and that isn't fair. i totally get what you're saying about the overzealous part, but i don't believe there's anything inherent about being a fan of MatPat's content which would cause someone to behave in a disrespectful, boundary-overstepping manner. let's be clear: we are not inherently more deserving of enjoying Welcome Home just because we discovered it earlier, or any other trait that would separate the earlier fandom from a new influx of fans from MatPat.
again, i sympathise with your perspective. i was an old MatPat fan myself: a real creepypasta-obsessed teen who discovered all sorts of cool fandoms through him and other channels! but i don't think Welcome Home being covered by MatPat means there's a higher risk of harm, or that those fans in particular are more likely to exhibit inappropriate behaviour. i worry about fandoms which, when trying to make sure everyone is being respectful, end up creating an us vs. them mentality...and there's nothing i dislike more than fans who believe they're more entitled to enjoy media more for artificial reasons, like if they discovered it earlier, or know more about the property, or engage in fandom the 'correct' way (whatever that means) 😕
i think that just because Clown is (very understandably!) stressed and needs time to adjust, doesn't mean we should try and halt the popularity of Welcome Home - which would be both unfair and impossible. there's no criteria for whether or not someone can be a fan - all that is to be expected is that they are respectful and kind. we should continue as always: being respectful, and echoing Clown's wishes. i think we should welcome all these new fans and show them a great time! and if a fan does do something harmful, we shouldn't attack them; instead, we should let them know why that's not okay, and not assume everyone is out to do harm. ignorance isn't always out of malice, and many of us discussing this issue have the luxury of being older, and having had our younger years in fandom under much less scrutiny. perhaps there's this lingering anxiety due to the claims of fans doxxing/hacking, which Clown has since debunked as being odd fandom rumours.
ultimately, Clown put Welcome Home out into the world for other people to enjoy. MatPat is allowed to make theories on Welcome Home, and his fans are allowed to enjoy it too. this is the same as an unknown video game being covered by Markiplier, or a similar property being picked up by the nerdcore music community. yes, it's likely MatPat's fans may be on the younger side, and perhaps inexperienced with fandom etiquette or boundaries. however, this is a generalisation! i feel perhaps this anxiety with new fans coming in has something to do with our own overzealousness, and how in the early days we began making fanworks/interacting with Clown's content in ways which he's since stated he's not comfortable with 💖
at the end of the day: whether we're 13 or 55; whether we compile large documents full of information about the Welcome Home story or write gushing posts about how cute Wally Darling is; whether we've known Clown's work for years or are just discovering it today - we're all fans, and we all deserve to be here. being zealous is what fandom is all about! the best thing we can do is just keep on putting out positive energy, and encouraging all of that lovely, budding excitement. let's keep helping new fans learn about the amazing story of Welcome Home, and making them feel welcome too 🥰

Meet the Team Lead - Foibs
Who could the Lead for the Talanah route possibly be? Of course, it's the ever-talented @foibles-fables! You can also find them on AO3 as foibles_fables!
Tumblr media
Howdy and hello, I’m Foibs! You might already know me as that clown who’s always crying over Talanah. Well, get ready for more tears, FOTH-style! My first exposure to the Horizon series was scrolling Twitter, seeing the reveal trailer for Forbidden West, and thinking, “This seems relevant to my interests.” I proved myself right when I started playing in late 2020 and fell in love with Aloy’s incredible world. Since then, I’ve churned out an embarrassing amount of fanfic (overwhelmingly Hawk and Thrush), become a lore connoisseur, and formed lifelong relationships with amazing folks in the fandom. I’ve written fanfiction on and off for—well, most of my life! My inspiration usually comes from epic sci-fi/fantasy and modern poetry, so game script writing has been a fun and rewarding challenge already.
Q&A with Foibs under the cut!
What is a favorite piece of work you've done (completed/ working on/ in-concept)?
True story: I came into my Horizon fixation thinking I wouldn’t write any fic for the series. Then I met the (future) Sunhawk, and all bets were off. This is a tough choice—I’m proud of everything I’ve created for the series—but lately I’ve been feeling soft for rest like you belong here., my first ever Aloy/Talanah fic. It was compelling and fulfilling to explore Aloy’s manifold struggles with vulnerability in a Zero Dawn missing scene.
What are some of your favorite tropes (to read/ write/ draw)?
I tend to gravitate towards capturing and developing those unseen, in-between moments of canon. I’m also a huge fan of diving into a character’s psyche with introspective studies—usually of the romantic variety. Beyond that, I’m a huge sucker for writing pining (mutual or otherwise), friends to lovers, and emotional/physical hurt/comfort.
What is an unexpected thing or fun fact about you?
Outside of fandom-adjacent activities, my hobbies include picking up heavy things and putting them back down. My heart is big, but my deadlift number is bigger.
What has been your favorite thing about working on this project so far?
Definitely the profound spirit of enthusiastic collaboration between all of these fabulous creators. It’s been utterly inspiring to put together a project of this scale and complexity with folks I might never have gotten to work with or befriend otherwise! I’m also very excited to get to explore the development of Talanah and Aloy’s relationship after the events of Forbidden West in this new and interesting way!

I love the friendsim two. I devoured the released 11 volumes, I love the production value and voice acting. all the characters too.
but I noticed from your Purpleblood designs of the purplebloods as being black coded with all the dreads and Chahut having a Losuina recipe.
I'm kind of iffy that as the Purplebloods are a caste psychotic murder clowns who keep the low bloods in line. coding them as black is iffy.
Homestuck itself was critzed for its Troll racial coding of the Makaras and Meenah.
it reminds me of Steven Universe issue with racial coding.
So this is actually one of the reasons it's taken so long for Volume 12 to come out! We actually wanted to take the time to unpack the various implications of the racial coding of the purple bloods and bring some actual deeper meaning to all of that (plus the implications of a closed or semi-closed ethnoreligion). Part of this process was engaging with black writers and creators in the fandom, as well as bringing in a writer who could provide a view from outside the fandom (the talented Miranda Holliday, who is a excellent theater writer and graduate of the NYU musical theater writing program)
We've definitely made some choices with the purples that might deviate away from a very literalist reading of what we see in canon, but I think there's a strong argument to be made that things aren't exactly as they appear on the surface, and there's a lot more to the purples that we've tried to dig into in a way that will feel satisfying, while also not relying on stereotyping or cliches.
(trying not to spoil too much, but this ended up being our second-longest volume and probably the one that received the most attention in terms of revisions and edits to the plot along the way)
We'll probably talk about this more once the volume released, but the balance of not erasing black coding in characters with not leaning into stereotypes was one that we tried to strike very carefully with this volume.

Aww Mammon is worrying for Lynsie!
Do these two have a history together?
[Yeah. Going way back to that massive "In the Beginning" lore post that I dropped when I made her...Lynsie aka the Primordial Dragon was the creature made and subsequently cast aside by the Creator who tossed her into the pit that would be Hell. Do a little time skippy and we got Lucifer being cast down for the whole Fuirt thing. Lu Lu finds her and offers that which was denied...compassion. Another time skip later, the battle of Heaven and Hell's reformation blah blah, and Lucifer sets up his new world and the order of power.
"When the war was over, many were now cast down into the pit of the dammed, the beasts included. With Lucifer now in power over the fallen, mostly because he still possessed very strong angelic power which holds sway over the now demonic power of his contemporaries, he used the dragon to sway the beasts to help in reforming their eternal prison into a world of their own. For their aid, the beasts were granted new roles and lordships as the hierarchy of Hell was being established. It's a crude form of hierarchy defined by power, with Lucifer being King of all Hell. Behemoth and Ziz sought nothing more than humble existences, choosing to take lord titles but no grand duties while remaining in eternal servitude. Leviathan, for its envious nature, took up what its siblings passed down, becoming not just a lord but a Prince as the Deadly Sin of Envy, giving it rein over the abyssal sea of the Ring of Envy. The dragon for its part, took lordship and sought a governing seat at Lucifer's side, which was granted in the form of the dragon being used to keep all of Hell in line when the chaotic stability of power is being threatened."
During this early halcyon age, Lucifer was still believing in his dreams and formed the Deadly Sin Circus (making that name up for this). All seven had a role that best fit their talents. Lucifer was the Ring Leader. (Ha! Puns!) Beelzebub was the Beast Tamer. Asmodeus was the Fire Spinner. Mammon was the Clown and marketer. (now come my headcanons) Satan was the Strongman and often would team up with Bee. Belphegor was in charge of concessions and provided very addictive snacks. Leviathan was in charge of effects and would put on aquatic musical performances. On occasion, the beasts were requested to perform. (Satan loved showing off with Behemoth. Ziz not so much and would stay out of it.) Lynsie would try dabbling with Ozzie and Bee (for obvious reasons) but found chemistry with Mammon, usually with her being the "straight man" in their double comedy while he was the "funny man".
As Hell grew, their responsibilities did too and after some tensions boiled over, the curtains on the circus closed with everyone parting ways. Though some still remain close, Ozzy and Bee are still buds, and Bee generally gets along with everyone...except Mammon.
Mammon's bluntness and lack of shits-given attitude tends to make him incredibly off-putting and it strains even Lynsie's patience at times due to her governing over Hell's power structures. If it weren't for their friendship and Lucifer's lack of ruling, Mammon would likely lose a lot of his power, possibly even the rule of his Ring. But so long as she's in the seat of control and he's able to keep on her good side, he'll continue to rule Greed while she's stuck dealing with the aftermath of whatever new trouble he's caused.
It's a messed up dependent relationship because both are aware of this cycle yet can't break it. She doesn't want to lose him as a friend because she doesn't want to do what was done to her, she doesn't want to feel like she betrayed him for that is the ultimate sin in her eyes, yet the longer she tries to tackle this on her own the more stress consumes her. And he knows she's probably the only decent soul who doesn't judge or want something from him, purely enjoying him for who he is, but his selfish destructive tendencies are a wedge that threatens to pry their bond apart and it secretly terrifies him.]

YOU SAID SEND ASKS EVEN IF THEY'RE DUMB SO I'M GONNA SEND ONE.
WHAT DID YOU THINK OF THE DAYCARE ATTENDANT WHEN SAW THEM FOR THE FIRST TIME (IN GAME AND IN FANDOM) AND WHEN DID YOU REALIZE YOU REALLY, REALLY LIKED THEM?
okokokok so basically i was avoiding fnaf like the plague bc i am terrified of animatronics and horrible with jumpscares in particular! but my best friend is a long time big time fnaf fan and so since like 2017 i was consuming fnaf content passively through them, and even since the game came out i was seeing stuff about it i just never got into it bc it wasn't super appealing
i was really invested in afton family lore n such so i got into fnaf because of that but was avoiding most animatronic content bc weee big fear (a few exceptions of animatronics though i.e. ballora) I could not figure out why i was so scared of them but I FIGURED IT OUT!! more on that later-
so fnaf sb came out n ofc I was watching playthroughs on call w/ my friend (before i played it, i played it soon after) and when sun showed up i was very much,,,, not scared of em?? i could not figure out why?? but i didn't really *focus* on them cuz i wasn't super into fnaf outside of afton family stuff
my friend kept sending me sun and moon fanart bc I did not have an upset reaction to them which was abnormal up until that point, and so i started to actively think they were neat! not super into them to the extent i came to be though- but i did figure out that the reason i have no issue with them and do have an issue with outer animatronics is because of their eyes! even moon who has "pupils" doesnt have the horrible doll-like "realistic" eyes most of the animatronics have- which is what was so unnerving about them to me. absolutely hate dolls and stuffed animals with eyes i have no idea why but one day they were just BAD and as a kidd i threw all the ones i had away and never looked back for the most part,,, but anyways sun and moon's designs were very appealing to me as i've always loved clown/jester type designs, celestial designs, pantomime-esque designs, marionette/bjd type designs (every time i draw them they have ball joints even now), etc. i also love love play structures and i've also always lowkey wanted to work in early education or in a daycare so the very environment was appealing! the designs really hit all of my interests AND were free of what was terrifying about the other animatronics
ANYWAYS i think the turning point (like it was for a lot of people in this fandom) was bamsara's work/solar lunacy! up until that point i had specifically avoided and never touched self insert fics + art, but it's so well written it changed my initial views about the whole category entirely ! because of that i was able to appreciate/consume more of the dca fandom content, which has so many talented creators! aside from that i remember being really really invested in 8um8ble8ee's dca work!
the designs being so appealing to my interests is likely one of the main reasons though aya!! jesters! bells! glow in the dark! stars! sun and moon motif! they remind me of those porcelain pierrots- one of my interests is the history of pantomime/commedia dell arte! i really don't think there's one thing about them or one moment i can remember that i was like YOOOOOOOOO!!!! it kinda just took over my brain hdsjkhsad
anyways i do remember distinctly sometime last year going wait- wtf?? because i'd thought this was a small time interest! something small i'd only taken casual interest in for a month or so, like so many other things, but then realizing i'd been making ART (not just consuming media) of them since at least december of 2021??? which is kinda insane to me!! (/pos ofc) before that time i was going through a really messy and just bad point in my life, and one of the ways I was tracking time was by the way my hair looked- i'd gotten obsessed with mykull afton after all the bad stuff and impulse cut my hair into a mullet and re-dyed it my natural colour after having bleached it brown, but this "first" drawing of sun was BEFORE my hair changed?? which i had not realized at all?? somehow in my head it was bad thing->mykull->dca but it looks like i was consuming and creating dca content through it all
anyways hsjhsjakjas i forgot what i was saying but i think i just really really liked them since i first saw em- i just didn't realize how much they had infiltrated my life until later somehow?? so ~may 2022 was when but really it was more like ~dec 2021? they make me so so happy i have no idea what it is to be honest
so ye in-game wise it was sorta on sight, fandom wise it was bc of solar lunacy + 8um8ble8ee !!
i still think its really funny that i like em so much, considering some of my biggest fears are Animatronics, Jumpscares, and The Dark BAHAHAHA

ok i finished the live action and my overall reaction is that i had fun watching it :p loved seeing an all poc ( asian + indigenous ) cast minus the white boy <3 were there things i was ???????? about........... yes. but i was just honestly brain empty just vibing anyways because if i wanted to be miserable and hate just to hate i would think about my dad but anyways more under the cut bc lKGJSKLGSDKLGJ
nostalgia was def a factor bc why did i cry in nearly every episode or am i just going through it. anyways watching the first ep and realizing they were showing the air nomad genocide i was just
Tumblr media
the bending was executed beautifully!!!!!!!! i felt they did rlly well in that factor
i honestly just went into it thinking of it as an AU so the changes didn't bother as much and i refused to think any further on it or i'd lose my mind ( and even then, the changes weren't horrible i dont think idk )
i was honestly living for azula's kinda "origin" to the girl we meet in the animated series. i enjoyed seeing the psychological abuse happening in real time from her father. ALSO. general zhao's speech about azula and zuko? i was frothing at the mouth sorry
where was my professional yapper miss katara?? hello. why was suki down bad for sokka off the bat. there was not enough bullying <3
they were very . determined with the costuming and it shows but it did go a lil overboard for my taste and ventured into cosplay :clown: like at some point it felt like a bunch of super rich cosplayers got together and was like hey, what if we made a live action atla <3 i just feel like the costume department was a hit and miss with various charas and they need to find their footing
my only GENUINE gripe with the show was its delivery with lines and general acting..........? which really confuses me because the cast is full of sm talents that ik are amazing at their craft. so im p sure it comes down to the script and direction so hopefully if it gets greenlit for another season or smth it gets improved upon. otherwise, this isn't bad if ur target audience is for ppl under like 12. BUT considering the creators were like we're tryin to blend GOT elements <3 bestie u kinda dropped the ball there but A- for effort
also the pacing was waaaaaaaaaay too fast. i think 12 eps could've helped but idk
i think the line i saw best describe the series is smth like "it's uniquely its own thing but distinctly still atla, if u go in to pick out flaws, u'll find them but if u just take it for what it is, it's enjoyable" and honestly yeah. if u wanna be a hater then whatever but do Nawt put that energy near me tyvvmmmmm
bonus: heres my fav tweet about yue's costuming that had me giggling bc honestly wtf was that:

I was talking to some friends about old hip hop music and thought I’d play a little game of - If I could only pick 10 Rap Albums to exist forever, what would I pick?
These are a blend of my favorite albums ever. To me it’s the best of the best here. I had some painful cuts like Biggie’s Ready To Die, Nas’ Illmatic, Method Man/Redman - Blackout, Ruff Ryders’ Ryde or Die 1 & 2, Jay-Z’s Vol. 2 and Vol. 3, any album by Big L, N.E.R.D.’s In Search Of.., Dr. Dre’s Chronic & Chronic 2001, The Lox, Jadakiss, Ghostface, Raekwon - Hell any Wu-Tang solo album really. But I had to think strategically and go with my gut.  What would be the best variety and which albums do I like pretty much every single song on them. Here they are, in no particular order:
Wu-Tang Clan - Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers): Wu-Tang Forever and future solo and team-up albums by the individual members also rank very high but nothing beats this original album that is memorized in my brain. Probably THE quintessential 90′s rap album. Generational anthems and a mind blowing amount of talent on display here.
Kanye West - Graduation: I have always loathed the man Kanye West but I can’t deny that for a little while there he had some crazy talent and made some great jams. But yeah FUCK that dude. I have to separate the art from the artist here. This album hit at a time in my life when I really needed it and it’s a foundational part of me forever even if I want to leave Kanye behind forever.  I’ve never really been a fan of Kanye’s lyrics or messages and I think this album is him at his LEAST serious and that’s why it works so well. It’s dare I say, a fun record.  Just a talented dude doing fun, basic rap shit with great collabs and iconic beats. No dreary slog through whatever fixation the man had that year or watered down pretentious dork message he feels he needs to tell. Sometimes even a circus clown can make you chuckle. I had a hearty guffaw here. 
Timbaland - Shock Value: Just like Graduation, this album hit me at a really transitional period in my life and got me through a lot. While a lot of music for me unfortunately becomes attached to specific periods in my life and I end up outgrowing said times and preferring to abandon what I listened to at the time, this one has persevered and I can reminisce as well as live in the current day and enjoy the tracks equally.  The collabs on this one are INSANE and so delightful. Timbaland may be the most underrated rap creator ever.
Puff Daddy and the Family - No Way Out: This takes the spot over Biggie’s Ready To Die and as devastated as I am to lose “Gimme The Loot”, this album has all bangers. Ever single song. This is that very small period of time when Bad Boy had The Lox signed on and was super cozy to people like Ginuwine and Foxy Brown. It seemed like they had or collaborated with the best of the best and that’s what you get here. Such a varied mix of tone throughout leads to thoughtful introspective songs mixed with go hard party beats. It’s crazy.
Nujabes - Metaphorical Music: RIP. Real talk, I could fill this whole list with Nujabes albums and mixtapes. Such an eclectic mix of East and West to create an incredible fusion of sound. I absolutely love all of his work. It is legendary and on another level. This album takes the spot as I feel it is the strongest overall package of songs and it contains my fave Nujabes beat - “Latitude Remix”.
2Pac - All Eyez On Me: 2pac will always be one of the greatest rappers and fly as hell guys for me. I’ve listened to all his albums so many godamn times. Even as a little kid and a stupid teen I always fucked with that dude. He just really cultivated that cool as hell aura. This one was actually harder than I thought as this album battled with Makaveli for this spot. In the end this won out due to the sheer volume of content as well as the fact it has my favorite 2pac song, “Picture Me Rollin. Disc 2 is definitely kind of weak but the collabs he has on here are legendary. This is prime Death Row Records bullshit and I am so here for it. Iconic. Sensitive. Hard. 
Lil Wayne - Tha Carter 3: Man, I remember just playing this CD on repeat whenever I drove anywhere for like a solid year. Surprisingly, it’s not one I play a lot over the years like the rest of this list, but anytime a song from it comes on I remember how great this one really was. Incredible talent, incredible rhymes, a sense of humor, a message, great collabs, inventive and wildly varied beats, this is the very rare album that honestly has it all.
Mos Def - Black On Both Sides: Let’s start off by giving Mos Def his due. This man may be the most underrated rapper to ever exist.  Constantly overshadowed by the big names, the party beat rappers, the clowns, and the pretentious bullshit rappers who think they’re him.  A musical genius if I’ve ever heard one. Amazing beats, top tier songwriting, a flow delivery that can be as fast or as slow as the song demands, he possesses just an unparalleled musical talent. I also adore this one because it encapsulates that 1999 y2kcore new millennium era that I miss so much. I had Ms. Fat Booty playing on a Winamp playlist for years and never got tired of it. So good.
Outkast - Stankonia: This is my shakiest pick. Not for Outkast, they are ALWAYS going to make my top music list, but for which album to represent them.  Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik is fantastic, one of the best debut albums ever, but the intros & interludes drag on you and although it channels that Southern Hip-Hop feel so perfectly, this isn’t them at their full power. ATLiens has them finding new lyrical vistas as they bring some of their strongest rapping skills to the forefront, but you can almost feel the alien theme, the beats and their self-producing trip them up a bit here (Still one of the finest rap albums ever made!). Aquemini, again terrific, but this always felt to me like the duo went to college, threw on some drugrugs, dropped acid and wouldn’t shut up about how amazing their grandmother’s vintage record collection was. Growing pains and a melange of different eras of and styles of music make this one feel disjointed to me. Love the collabs on this one though. Stankonia comes next and to me this is the duo at the absolute height of their power, a prime Shaq and Kobe. Such a wide range of subjects to rap about. Smart, impactful, creative lyrics blend with some of their catchiest beats. The collabs are great as these rap gods sook out basically younger versions of themselves to elevate. Not a fan of the interludes returning but this one is just a perfect example of quite possibly the best to ever do it DOING IT! Probably Stankonia’s biggest competitor for this spot is Speakerboxxx/The Love Below. Two separate packages from Big Boi and Andre, each maximizing their respective strengths. Big Boi absolutely murdering it as he just goes hard like a fullback giving you pure hardcore rapping excellence while Andre cooks up a pop/funk/jazz hybrid masterpiece (what Aquemini tries to be a little too much). It’s phenomenal.  The only reason it doesn’t take this spot is simple - you’d rather be watching Shaq and Kobe play together than separately. 
Ma$e - Harlem World: Ok let me get this out of the way. Dozens, probably hundreds of rappers are more talented than Ma$e.  I know this, you don’t have to tell me. But, do I care? Hell nah! Ma$e is the first rapper I can remember being MY guy. I was 7 or 8 when he first debuted.  I have 4 older brothers so I was able to osmosis so much stuff from them just by being around them. I remember just loving this cool young guy hanging out with Puffy rapping over some fun as hell ear worm songs. He was just so cool. I don’t know why but I really identified with him and he was my favorite rapper as a little kid. Harlem World was essentially my first CD. Not a hand me down or whatever but a CD I got for myself. MINE. And look, while in retrospect my man wasn’t the best to ever do it, he did have a literal Dream Team of people producing (Puffy, Steven "Stevie J" Jordan, Jermaine Dupri, Ron "Amen-Ra" Lawrence Deric "D-Dot" Angelettie, and The Neptunes), as well as an all star cast of collabs (Jay-Z, Lil' Kim, Busta Rhymes, 8Ball & MJG, The Lox, Total, and DMX).  What a massive combination of elite level talent. It’s such a mix of styles and voices that influence every single song to be something creatively different and wonderful. I also think this album’s biggest strength is it just oozes FUN. Every track makes you want to dance, laugh and just have a fun ass time (”Jealous Guy” is playing in my head making me crack up as I write this.) Of all rap albums throughout history, this one is the most “Me” of all of them.

hello rachel aka burnthatbridge aka dispatchpodcast ❤️‍🔥 we are a mere few hours away from the 6b premiere so emotions are heightened and I feel compelled to strike u with a bolt of love and admiration for the podcast the way buck is about to be struck by that lightning (rip to our boi 😔 but also HAHA!! YES!!)
so none of my irl friends watch the show and I’m not in any gcs therefore can’t go insane with other 911blrinas so it gets a bit lonely clowning by myself sometimes lmao. I still have fun yelling into the ether in my tags but I do occasionally think it would be cool if the ether yelled back fjskks
I always have the best time listening to the podcast cuz it feels simultaneously like I’m hanging out with friends, and also attending a riveting symposium with the foremost experts on FOX’s 9-1-1. shoutout to ur guests who are all ridiculously talented creators and incredibly fun ppl to listen to!! 🫶🏼 the insight we get into their work and bits and pieces of their lives is always so fascinating and hilarious. I’m currently on thee lafd updates man legend henswilsons’ ep and I am having. A. Blast. I love how long the eps are and that they sometimes get rambly or go off into random tangents bc it’s so immersive, like I’m at a café overhearing a couple besties go crazy about their hyperfixation lmfaooo
thank u for masterminding this project it genuinely brings me so much joy 💗💗💗 goodbye and godspeed to u and to me mwah mwah mwahhhh ⚡️😴
Hello!
I am so sorry I missed this before 6x10 aired. I hope you have survived - I’m not sure that I have!!! Can you believe that we still have to wait days until the next episode?! This sort of torture should be illegal!
I’m so glad that you enjoy the podcast. I started it because I was very much in the same position as you - no friends who watched the show, no group chats, desperate for someone to talk to who wasn’t just myself (or my exasperated sibling 😅). So to hear that it can fulfil some of that need to flail over the show for more than just me is wonderful 🥰
My guests are amazing and I cannot thank all of them enough for being willing to come on and have me pick their brains and force them to pick favourites. I also cannot thank you and all the other listeners enough, especially for tolerating my rambling and tangents (it still boggles me that somehow I got Mads and me talking about sheep…).
Thank you so much for your absolutely lovely message and I wish you and me and everyone else the best for the rest of 6B 💛💛💛

Clowning around… with a difference!
29 Apr 1982 - The Stage
Tumblr media
Transcript below
IF THE MENTION of clowns conjures up images of empty-headed buffoons, then "Bumps" at the Lyric, Hammersmith, should be a pleasant surprise. For these clowns are different.
They're eccentric yes, most sport false noses, and all wear extraordinary garb; they're remarkably funny too, not in the slapstick tradition, but in the manner of misfits, who talk in riddles and non-sequiturs to expose characters who are also vulnerable and lovable - even the grumpy ones. The show's creator, Cheryl McFadden, has woven great charm into the proceedings.
Cheryl was "discovered" during the New York run of "Nicholas Nickleby". Several of the actors heard about her locally-famed clown improvisation classes, attended one and were hooked enough to insist on regular sessions for the rest of their season.
Indeed, her adroitness, in drawing fresh skills from accomplished actors so fired Edward Petherbridge that he determined to bring her over to create a show for British actors. He asked her to devise something that would last about an hour, and teamed it with "Knots", based on R.D. Laing's psychological conundrums. And because "Knots" puts the same actors in normal dress in unremarkable situations that emphasise the foolishness inherent in all of us, the coupling is complementary.
Shortage of time was difficult for Cheryl. "I've done this sort of thing before in America but never in the space of five weeks. We (there are eight actors in the cast) spent the first few days just doing classes and building a rapport, and we went very slowly because we had to break through the barriers of everyone's terror of the unknown, including my own.
"But Edward has an amazing instinct for choosing people.and everyone has worked tremendously hard so I'm excited about what has evolved."
Cheryl, whose colouring and build reminded me of Jane Asher, looks on the clown as an extension of the actor's self. In "Bumps" she has tried to extend her actors still further by involving them in all the performing arts. They all have to play musical instruments (several of them had had no previous musical ex-perience), as well as speak, mime, sing, dance, and paint.
She herself is pretty versatile, too. Her style of teaching stems from a period of study in Paris with the mime Jacques Lecoq, and in London her role has also called on her talents as writer, director and visual initiator. When she's not busy on any of these, she acts. She just finished a film, "The Outdoorsters" She doesn't care for the superficial, but she does care about being involved in theatre that illuminates and that provokes a gut reaction in its audience. With "Bumps", I think she has succeeded
