Official Queer Mystery Tournament Bracket

Originally, I planned to assign each character a seed number. I quickly realized that was way too difficult and just fed everything into a random number generator. This was the result.

ROUND ONE:

Left Side

Jonathan Sims (The Magnus Archives) vs Emmy Altava (Professor Layton)

L Lawliet (Death Note) vs Cabanela (Ghost Trick)

Ema Skye (Ace Attorney) vs Herhsel Layton (Professor Layton)

Frog Detective (Frog Detective) vs Herlock Sholmes (Ace Attorney)

Edwin Paine (Dead Boy Detectives) vs Juno Steel (The Penumbra Podcast)

Dana Scully (The X-Files) vs Miss Lemon (Agatha Christie Mysteries)

Please note that the polls will not have pictures for Round One, because it's just too much work for me to do all by myself, and also because I want everything to be done within the span of Pride Month. Polls will last for one day, with a buffer day in between to allow me to sort out the new brackets.

Have fun!

Welcome Home Website Update Reaction Notes (7/22/2023) Part 1 (SPOILERS)

Hey guys! Today I'm gonna show you my reactions to the Welcome Home website via my notes on Google Docs. I wrote 5 pages and spent around 5 or 6 hours exploring the website lol. Hope you enjoy it! Here's Part 1!

NEW HOME ART

The little Home doodle is so cute omg

FRANK AND BARNABY’S VOICES IN “ANSWER” OMG

Barnaby’s voice is honestly like a mix of Rowlf and Fozzie from the Muppets which matches well with his personality

Frank’s voice is like a mix of Gonzo from the Muppets and Gyro from DuckTales (the 2017 one)

THERE’S A GLITCH AT THE END WHAT

The Frank and Julie sprites on the FAQ page is so cute

THE STICKERS ARE SO CUTE

THE SEASONAL BANNERS

Wally and Barnaby (Winter), Frank and Eddie (Spring), Sally and Julie (Summer), and Howdy and Poppy (Fall/Autumn)

I just realized the golden flowers on Home’s sticker give me Undertale vibes

The Frank and Julie sprites on the News page is so cute too

Question Answerer seems sus

THE NEIGHBORS HAVE AUDIO WITH TEXT TRANSCRIPTS I REPEAT THE NEIGHBORS HAVE AUDIO WITH TEXT TRANSCRIPTS

“That’s the most!” Awww Wally

The drumroll on Barnaby’s audio and his little awkward laugh I love him

Yes Julie let’s play a game with a pogo stick, a bowl of pasta, and a pair of roller skates and cause chaos in the Neighborhood lol

I swear I will be depresso if Frank, Eddie, and Howdy get hurt or die…Those three are on my top 3 favorite WH characters (in no specific order) :(

I should make a list of favorite Welcome Home neighbors lol

Anyways

YES FRANK YOU ARE PERFECT JUST THE WAY YOU ARE

I love Eddie’s Southern accent and the way he talks sorta reminds me of Launchpad from DuckTales (the 2017 one)

Awww Eddie is scared of a bug and he wants Frank’s help awww

Eddie doesn’t want his paper chains to be ruined :(

I realized the Frank and Eddie one is also called “answer” and so far the two videos mention bugs and Frank is in each video

HOWDY’S VOICE

He definitely sounds like one of those people working on radio stations

I feel like if he’s not a shopkeeper, he would definitely work on a radio station

Howdy’s Radio Podcast when???

Sally’s voice is so dramatic and I love it

*insert scared Poppy chicken/bird noise*

Also is Poppy alright? I’m kinda worried :(

The voices of the neighbors are fantastic so far the voice actors did really great in their roles :D

Poppy and Frank = best cooking/baking duo

I wonder what those seed things taste like…They probably taste good

Frank mentions Wally eating with his eyes

The third “answer” video with Poppy and Frank mentioning butterflies

I love the Sally and Howdy sprites on the Merchandise page

The “duet” page with Wally on the phone is kinda eerie

Wally sounds dead inside

I love you too Wally lol

The rimshot and horn honk on Barnaby’s phone audio lol

Don’t worry Barnaby your jokes always make me laugh

I love Barnaby’s little “Buh bye!”

I reread "It's-For-You!" Talking Telephone Toy page, I thought it said “Mario, Inc.” instead of “Marlo, Inc.”

Super Mario is canon in this universe jk

Julie’s voice is freaking adorable

I wanna listen to Frank’s bug facts everyday

Frank freaking slanders Barnaby

I love Eddie’s jingle

I wanna get some school supplies from Eddie now lol

I love Howdy’s laughs lol

Protect Howdy at all costs

I love the “ta-da!” jingle from Sally

“…I said ‘Hellooo!’ That’s your cue!” Sally radiates theater kid energy and I love her

Poor Poppy doesn’t know how a phone works :(

*insert more scared Poppy chicken/bird noises*

Howdy’s and Frank’s letters to Wally are so wholesome

I love the insect sketches

Sally calls Julie “Juliet” that’s a cute name

Eddie is the most OP character lol

But can Eddie beat Goku tho???

I think Howdy is OP too but who knows

Julie asking Eddie to catch him is basically the “If I run and leap at Terry” scene from Brooklyn Nine-Nine

Also I actually don’t watch Brooklyn Nine-Nine btw I just know the memes

Anyways

When Frank said “Oh my”, I imagine them blushing asdfghjkl

I forgot to put this here but I love when Frank calls Eddie “Mr. Dear” that’s so cute

I love Julie and Frank’s besties dynamic in the “answer” video

PUPPET WALLY’S REFLECTION ON ONE OF THE RECORDS

I wanna buy every single merch if they are real lol

The live interview reminds me of those Muppet and Sesame Street interviews and it’s quite charming ngl

“Oh no, I don’t know. I love everyone. I love my friends.” Wally poly confirmed???

The interviewer’s name is Rick (and Morty asdfghjkl)

Miss Beagle is mentioned!!!

“I tell ya, we got a neighbor who's got an arm like a professional baseball player! It’s not easy!” Is Barnaby talking about Julie or Eddie?

I want to watch the "Julie-rella" segment so bad

Also Fairy "Dog"-mother lmao

Hopscotch To The Max wtf hahaha

“It took us an hour to get you down off Howdy's roof, and we still don’t know where the green chalk went…” Julie, you played hopscotch on Howdy’s roof???

I love Frank’s and Julie’s singing voices

I love how Barnaby just barges in and Frank is like “wtf”

I love Barnaby’s singing voice too

“Aw. I wanted to learn the colors.” Awww Wally is so adorable

“Wally, don’t look! He’s INDECENT!” That actually made me laugh even as I’m rereading the transcript and typing this down

A wild Howdy appears! *insert Pokemon battle music*

Also some of the “Just So” song demo seems to be distorted…That’s sus

The concept art of Julie’s “Just So” Bowling Dress is so cute

I also love how Frank and Julie wear outfits that match the games they play that’s so wholesome

Howdy’s laughs cure my depression

I love Howdy slapping the countertop when he laughs

Sole and Lyco awww

Awww Frank’s little “thank you”

“I’m sorry, I’ll see what I can do.” AWWW

I love when Julie translates to what Frank’s plants are saying it’s so wholesome

Eddie: *talks about the entire plot of Jack and the Beanstalk which involves Jack climbing up the beanstalk, encountering a giant, and cutting down the beanstalk with a big ax*

Poppy who is dressed as the beanstalk: Haha. I’m in danger.

Wally’s puppet hands are holding some yarn in “answer” but he seems that he’s not moving…

I can barely hear Poppy and Howdy’s dialogue in the videeo since I don’t have headphones on but I assume it’s a friendly conversation as usual since I can hear Howdy’s laugh lol

Wally’s hand trying to grab the cup of tea??? coffee??? in “answer”

Poppy and Sally talking about plays as usual lol

A human hand??? With a glove???

I don’t know who this human is but I’m pretty sure she’s a Howdy fan lol

I’m answering the Welcome Home worksheet because why not lol

1) Barnaby 2) Sally 3) Poppy 4) Julie 5) Wally

Now where’s my prize/j

I’m guessing that Wally replica puppet is going to come to life lol

I wanna go to this exhibition so bad if this is real lol

Awww the Poppy and Barnaby sprites…

I accidentally clicked the “Hello” doodle on the Guestbook and I’m scared

The page is called “Find”

Wally??? Wally you ok???

My media this week (21-27 Jan 2024)

📚 STUFF I READ 📚

🥰 Cat Person (The_She_Devil) - 72K, shrunkyclunks - Bucky's the SHIELD agt tasked with bringing newly defrosted Steve up to speed on the 21st century - there's really hot sex in a secluded cabin PLUS feelings. All around deliciousness.

😊 Dark Carnivals: Modern Horrors and the Origins of American Empire (W. Scott Poole, author; Enrique McGavin, narrator) - interesting, edifying, depressing. Not as much discusssion of the films as I expected/would have liked - like 70% rundown of USian imperial activities of the last two centuries, 30% horror/scifi film discussion. [In hindsight, should have read this in text, as there were passages I really wanted to highlight/quote and the narration was…weird. Voice sound & tone was OK but there were lots of bizarre pauses. Sometimes when reading a quotes from a notable figure, the narrator did do some very credible imitations of Clinton & Reagan.]

😍 Waking Up Slow (odetteandodile) - 44K, shrunkyclunks - single dad Bucky, living in a isolated lighthouse in Canada, finds an amesiac, just-thawed Steve Rogers washed up on his beach… (reread for stucky bookclub, forever fave!)

😊 for a good time, call… (EvanesDust) - 46K, sterek, omegaverse fake-dating - solidly enjoyable

😊 Maurice (E.M. Forester, author; Peter Firth, narrator) - read this for a discord book club, can't believe I hadn't read it before & it's been 30 years since I watched the movie. Forester's language & turn of phrase is amazing.

🥰 And My Love Life Waits for Me (Bittersweet_in_Boston (author); Alaskan_Outsider (artist)) - 62K, shrunkyclunks soulmate fic - satisfyingly enjoyable, not nearly as dark as the tags might make you think

💖💖 +190K of shorter fic so shout out to these I really loved 💖💖

Own Me series (nrnyx) - TW: Jordan/Derek /Stiles, 62K (series) - Stiles gets picked up by husbands Jordan & Derek at the club and what starts as a very hot one night stand becomes so much more. Very werewolfy omegaverse stuff. Hot quality smut but also action-y plot!

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Goncharov (berlincorpography) - Goncharov (1973): OFC / OFC, 6K - very clever & funny fic featuring disaster lesbians, film criticism & academia

Once Upon a Time (softestpunk) - The Sandman: Dreamling, 14K - just so soft & warm, pure delight! They're both single dads! Falling in love! Dream is a children's librarian!

full name: esme valentine faceclaim: madelyn cline age: twenty-five nickname(s): ez occupation: writer for rolling stones magazine & podcast host neighborhood: cardinal hills hometown: brooklyn, new  york pronouns: she / her gender: cisfemale sexual orientation: bisexual

𝐀𝐁𝐎𝐔𝐓 𝐄𝐒𝐌𝐄

( drugs, child neglect, overdose, car accident, death. ) esme valentine’s existence was a result of a drunken one night stand between her groupie mother and her rockstar father. esme’s mother, emma, had spent her early adult life in the sixties on the road with multiple different bands and artists chasing a high she was addicted to — sex & drugs. she met esme’s father, keaton, a world-famous musician with multiple grammy’s and platinum-selling albums under his belt ( think kurt cobain iconic ) at a show one night in atlanta, georgia and the two got together after his performance. the next morning when she awoke in their hotel room, he was already gone and on the way to the next leg of his tour. unfortunately, her nineteen-year-old mother hadn’t found out she was pregnant until three months later when one of her friends got her a pregnancy test after she’d spent the morning on a tour bus throwing up. even though she wasn’t stable emotionally or financially, she decided to keep esme and decided to keep her existence a secret from keaton as well. while esme should have been enrolled in kindergarten by the time she was five, she actually spent her childhood years on the road with whatever band her mother was hanging out with at the time, surrounded by men and women that were complete strangers to her. due to her addiction to cocaine and heroin, emma would often leave esme alone for days at a time with friends; no food or water or comfort given to her during that time. the times that she was around, esme wish she wouldn’t be as she was always with men who reeked of booze and who she would watch inject her mother with whatever drug of choice was wanted that night. child services were called when esme was six and her mother had no choice but to put her groupie lifestyle on hold. she got a part-time job as a waitress and they rented a sketchy one-bedroom apartment in downtown new york while esme went to school. her mother was honestly… a horrible and really messed up woman. by the time she was nine emma would often make comments that her daughter was trying to steal whatever boyfriend she was with a time ( srsly.. she was fucked up ) and anything she would say to her would be taken the wrong way. she lived in that hell up until she was twelve and after coming home from school one day, esme found her mother on the bathroom floor dead from an overdose. that’s when keaton was finally notified he had a daughter. her dad who was on the road in europe when child services called put everything on hold to come to meet her and the two bonded instantly. he decided to cancel the rest of his shows that year so that he could make sure to get everything she needed and to spend time with the daughter he never knew he had. her life was quite stable after that point, her dad was always involved and took care of her as a parent should. like her father, esme fell in love with music and when she graduated high school, she published a blog that reviewed and interviewed upcoming musicians across the globe. her content was a hit and gained a big following by the time she was twenty and eventually got her hired as a writer rolling stones. soon after she started a podcast and her career took off. her father died tragically in a car accident about three years ago and to say esme was devastated was an understatement. she kinda went through a dark patch but luckily her friends were there for her during that time. she moved to blue harbour with her best friend  ( she lived in europe from age 12-24 ) and while her father left her millions of dollars in her name, she hasn’t touched a penny of it.

𝐏𝐄𝐑𝐒𝐎𝐍𝐀𝐋𝐈𝐓𝐘

esme is kind of a firecracker, tbh? but she’s really approachable and people seem to be drawn by her presence when she’s around. it’s one of the reasons her blog & articles are such a success, people want to talk to her and feel comfortable in doing so. due to her mother’s toxicity, she really tries to stay away from the party scene ( which isn’t easy due to her job ) and to those involved with hard drugs. her ex-boyfriend of three years was a huge dick, cheated on her a bunch of times and treated her like shit, so she’s quite… reserved on that front. like she’s totally fine with one night stands and meaningless flings but if the guy starts showing signs that they’re really into her… she’ll bounce DGHDGH. although deep down, i really think she wants to find her soulmate and someone who will fight for her, you know? her friends are her favorite people in the world and she’ll do just about anything for them. also a lil bit of a tomboy tbh!

𝐖𝐀𝐍𝐓𝐄𝐃 𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐍𝐄𝐂𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍𝐒

platonic soulmate/best friend. gimme a best friend who’s honestly her ride or die. they could of either known each other in new york when they were kids or met europe. they would have moved here together. they know everything about each other and would do anything for one another.

will they won’t they. these two have crazy chemistry and are really close friends and everyone thinks they’re gonna end up together but… will they?

close friends, confidants, one night stand, wingman/wingwoman, crush, unrequited crush, good influence, etc.

Secret Santaswiftie for @walkscornelia ★ my gift for the lovely laura <3

happy new year <3

in honor of the new year i thought i'd share 10 things with you that i absolutely love that you might learn to love too (in case you don't yet!). these are new favourites, old favourites and overall things i never want to live without again and have improved my year so much that i'm hoping that they'll improve your 2023 too!

i really hope you'll find some things you haven't tried yet and will also come to love and i can't wait to hear your verdict on all of them <3

crocheting! i have picked up crocheting in 2022 and it has been the best stress relief for me. i can only recommend to give crocheting a try if you haven't yet!

my top 3 books of the year 2022: the seven husbands of evelyn hugo, i'm thinking of ending things, i'm glad my mom died

my top 3 tv shows of 2022: white lotus, schitts creek, brooklyn nine-nine

some of my beauty favourites: (in case you're into these things) gel x nails (well dupes, no need to splurge in my opinion!) rare beauty - any and all products really fenty diamond bomb - i use it on my eyes every single day and i love it

my top 3 podcasts of 2022: fluently forward, my dad wrote a porno, morbid

artists (besides taylor ofc) that i'd recommend: peach prc, nina nesbitt, olivia o'brien

casetify phone cases! i bought the one taylor has been seen with before and loved it so much - they are for sure pricey but my phone literally bounces off the floor when i drop it and doesn't have a single scratch on it!

scribd! i was unaware of scribd for the longest time and fell in love with it at the beginning of 2022! it's like spotify for books and audio books and they've had at least the ebook or the audiobook version of every book i'd been interested in so it's def worth checking out!

etsy! this is a bit of a broad one and i'm sure you're aware of it but 2022 was the year i started purchasing gifts off of etsy and it's been such a beautiful thing. i will def keep purchasing via etsy in the future and can only recommend it for any more personalised and niche presents!

https://www.open.edu/openlearn/ this is a great place to learn new things - for free! i have taken advantage of it quite a bit in the past and think it's a great way to learn new things or to work on personal goals!

may 2023 bring you lots of love, joy and health. i hope you can achieve your goals and have many opportunities to laugh until your stomach hurts. to a wonderful and magical new year!
