TEN THINGS F1 DRIVER Y/N L/N CAN’T LIVE WITHOUT — GQ.

— part of my maneater series.

Y/N (throwing her hat in the air with one hand and catching it in the other without looking): see? told you i could do it! not my only party trick.

Y/N: hi gq! i’m y/n l/n, formula one driver and i’m here to show you my ten essentials.

NUMBER ONE: IPAD

Y/N: first, has to be my ipad. this was my first big purchase and seeing my bank account being drained of that money almost caused a heart attack. but this bad boy helps me to organise my life, stops me from being bored on flights, keeps me in contact with my family and lets me write my notes. so yeah, thanks apple. also you guys should sponsor me.

NUMBER TWO: NOISE CANCELLING HEADPHONES

Y/N: i never used to travel a lot. when i was younger, my family couldn’t afford it so flying around a lot was a big shock to my system. obviously as in f1, drivers are required to fly to different races and it means i had to get over my fear of flying. these help a lot with that. these plus a spotify playlist made by my angsty teenage self will make me forget about the fact i’m flying. these are my favourite ones, i have multiple pairs just in case.

NUMBER TWO AND A HALF: MUSIC.

Y/N: i guess this sort of goes off the second one? but music. i keep trying to bribe the engineers to build a blue tooth radio in the car but to no avail. spotify has been my biggest supporter all of these years. i know i’m sponsored by them now but i have been using my account for almost seven years now? so my algorithm is perfection. it truly has helped me so much. i listen to music on the way to races, on the way back from races, in my house, outside my house, cleaning, cooking and even when i’m in the shower. yes, i’m a shower singer. once i get in there, i’m beyoncé!

OFF SCREEN VOICE: what was the last song you listened to?

Y/N: one second, let me see. it was the twilight soundtrack in particular decode by paramore. told you i was an angsty teen!

NUMBER THREE: EMERGENCY BAG

Y/N: okay this sounds bad, it’s not as much an emergency bag as in like medical supplies but more so like extra toothbrush, toothpaste, menstrual products, lotion and other stuff like that. i always carry this with me anywhere in case my suitcase goes missing. it has helped me and my friends out so many times so it’s definitely an essential for me.

NUMBER FOUR: HER CAMERAS.

Y/N: i picked up photography relatively recently and this was the starter camera that the guy in the shop recommended. so this is that camera. for this one, i vlog, which you guys might have seen and this is the camera i use for those videos. i actually don’t record my videos, one of my friends or family or colleagues or whoever will film and i will be in front of the camera. it’s my favourite part when i ask the camera person to reveal themselves and they do their own little introduction. i obviously provide the camera for it. which is this beauty right here.

OFF SCREEN VOICE: who has been your favourite person to film you?

Y/N: i have had a lot of people film me. my most recent being rihanna for my recent holiday vlog! so many people to the point that i genuinely don’t think i could choose a favourite. i mean, i’ve had my sister do it a lot so i guess i can choose her. she knows my angles best!

NUMBER FIVE: LIPGLOSS

Y/N: when i won my first championship and i kissed the camera, the amount of calls from makeup companies my manager received was actually obscene. i think i got so many comments on social media asking what makeup i use and how it stays on throughout the race! to be honest, i don’t always wear makeup but in the original video, i was wearing this fenty gloss. it’s in the shade fu$$y. so, yeah, at least no one can call me a gatekeeper! i always keep it on me. i feel a little more ready to face the world with lipgloss. now, i have my own fenty collection! so check that out.

NUMBER SIX: HER LUCKY SHOES.

Y/N: okay i know i say i’m not necessarily a superstitious person but these shoes have been with me from f3 until now. every race i’ve worn these, i’ve won. so i like having them around. i think they bring luck. i can’t wear them any longer as they’ve worn through the soles now. really annoying but we power through.

NUMBER SEVEN: WINGSTOP BLACK CARD

Y/N: i was really craving wingstop one night. so me and my sister were in london? i think and i vlogged our hunt for wingstop and they reached out to me to give me a black card. i know, isn’t it gorgeous? i was so happy. too bad i have to cut down on what i eat thanks to my nutritionist, but my siblings and friends love this thing.

NUMBER EIGHT: SKINCARE ROUTINE

Y/N: okay, so i’m trying to get more consistent with my skincare but it’s not necessarily working the way i want it to. however, i still stick to the basics. sunscreen, cleanser and moisturiser. i really like keeping my skincare on check as there is this unsaid rule that women have to wear makeup in their jobs and if i keep my skin looking good then i can skirt that rule. i love this cream in particular, it’s moisturising but very light on the skin. best of both worlds.

NUMBER NINE: NECKLACE

Y/N: this was given to me as a gift from my family when i turned eighteen. it was a necklace that i’d had my eye on for a very, very long time. they saved up for so long to buy it for me and it’s become my signature piece. i wear it around my neck constantly. it’s weird having it off my neck to show you.

(she fastens it around her neck quickly)

Y/N: now i feel normal again.

NUMBER TEN: MY PADDOCK PASS

Y/N: i am so bad with keeping my paddock pass on me. for people who don’t know what this is, this allows me access to the garage and things like that. i usually keep it around my neck because if its in my pocket or my bag i’ll forget. my assistant sometimes carries mine. i’m not going to show you my picture because it’s awful. i had woke up really early after no sleep and one of the staff had made me take the picture. now i am forced to wear this monstrosity at work. i keep it hidden as much as i can. last time, lando saw it and laughed so hard he cried so yeah.

author’s note: this was hard as i wanted to keep it as vague as possible so that you can relate it to your own maneater! i’m still taking questions/asks/requests so please send some in!

[thehobbutts]

i really struggle with keeping my apartment clean bc of adhd/depression/the crushing weight of existence, but watching aurikatariina on YouTube literally makes me want to get up and clean something every single time. she cleans houses for free for those who really need it and her videos are asmr but she also tells you what products she uses for different types of messes and it's SO helpful, like I have learned how to clean my kitchen and my bathroom and somehow it makes the idea of cleaning less overwhelming

Can you elaborate on your tags about reading jk Rowlings original post?

Just that I admit that at first, when the JKR discourse started back in the day, I didn’t actually go and read the essay she published on her blog, which is the one that started the entire thing. I did go and read it, eventually, because I tend to like forming my own opinions on things. Personally, I didn’t see any evidence of transphobia. Same with her tweets. Sure, she’s a sarcastic troll some days because she’s, probably, tired of this topic. She was arguing there is such a thing as biological sex and people transition from one to the other in order to embrace living authentically. And that kids should be kids as they have no way to consent. They need to be left alone, or helped to make informed decisions they’ll not regret later in life. Perfectly fine and I’m very much supportive of that.

Everyone should love and live as they please, and no one has the right to ostracize them for it. What she called problematic was the complete denial that biological sex exists, hormone blockers in kids who can’t really consent, self IDing as a woman without actually transitioning and some trans activists saying a biological woman’s experience doesn’t matter. I don’t see that as being transphobic. Just logic and concern.

Over the past few days my partner and I went on a deep dive on this topic and found there’s plenty trans people agreeing with JKR. We’ve seen videos of trans women competing in women’s sports and winning, then commenting they don’t care at all about the medals and winning, but simply enjoy having a good time with their friends at the gym. Why compete in the women’s weight lifting category if you don’t care about winning then? Aussie surfer Bethany Hamilton was dropped by her lifelong sponsor in favor of a trans woman who previously competed, and won, in the men’s division. Swimming, wrestling, roller skating even etc. There’s trans women out there claiming they’re the ones who know what a woman is because they’re forced to think about it, whereas a biological woman is simply born and therefore, inferior. Others who claim they experience period cramps or that their genitalia is superior to a biological woman’s etc. As far as I’ve seen. JKR and other trans people have spoken out against these kind of situations, comments and claims. That’s why I think that cancel culture is so toxic. We need to look at the whole picture and stop claiming things are black or white or the damaging adage of if you’re not with me you’re against me.

I think a very loud minority, who doesn’t represent the entirety of the trans community, might actually be doing more harm than good. Not just to the trans community, who deserves nothing but acceptance and support and love, but the rest of the LGBTQ+ community as well. Pushing a narrative too fast, and forcefully, isn’t helping. It’s actually turning people against us and it’s frustrating and depressing. Denying actual biology and elbowing your way into biological women’s spaces won’t win you their love. Calling them birthing people won’t win them over. Calling them lesser won’t open doors either.

There’s a ton of material to be found on YouTube, there’s podcasts, articles etc. Personally, I think people need to sit down and talk and debate and be diplomatic. I’m not saying JKR isn’t without her faults but I do think she’s been demonized for speaking her mind and voicing her concerns about women’s spaces and kids. It’s as if people can’t have a healthy debate anymore. We need to cancel those who don’t agree with us. It’s the all or nothing mob mentality and, personally, I’m sick of it. This is a nuanced topic and should be treated as such. But now you can’t even be a centrist anymore. You have to be for or against and nothing in between. How about we look at what’s right or wrong, for both sides, and decide accordingly. Why this inane ideological war that radicalizes people who should be having a productive conversation instead.

[kvetchinglyneurotic]

a list of things from my season 2 rewatch, in no particular order:

there's a mundane practicality to Nate that's kind of embarrassingly relatable. "I was going to buy a suit but it was really expensive so I borrowed one from my dad" in season 1; "he's going to use a lot of water" about Dani's breakdown in the showers in 2x01. This is... basically exactly how I would respond to both these situations

Very funny that the man Roy describes as "settling for fine" is almost exclusively shown telling stories about almost beating up elderly celebrities

"Do you believe the return of Jamie Tartt will impact that so called 'vibe'" I don't have a point I just love this line.

love everyone supporting Sam in the Dubai Air protest but I feel like researching the sponsorships is probably supposed to be someone's job? That being said they were already the sponsor in season 1 and Rupert probably wouldn't care that their parent company was polluting Nigeria, and I can see how re-doing all the due diligence on the established sponsorships wouldn't be high up in the line of priorities

start of some tonal problems — trying to reintegrate Jamie into the team by shouting and flipping tables comes off a bit weird as a comedy beat when the previous episode has Jamie openly discussing his abusive father

kind of hilarious that the kebab guy thinks Ted is Roy's dad when he's like. maybe 8 years older

the end of 2x05 is very clearly a reference to something (presumably a romcom) and I believe the fact that I don't know what it is makes it much funnier. I do feel kind of bad that Roy has to spend the entire match in a suit when it appears to be quite cold outside, though

"maybe there's a good reason she hasn't replied. maybe she got hit by a bus." (Isaac) "or a train?" (Dani) they are so good at comforting

I tend to need a fair bit of personal space myself so I absolutely understand where Keeley is coming from in 2x07, and the way Roy responds to learning that she feels smothered ("I feel like a fucking idiot," "you've been making out like I'm following you around like some creepy shadow" (paraphrased)) is obviously a product of his own insecurities and he doesn't initially seem to understand that alone time is a legitimate need that doesn't inherently reflect poorly on him,  but ultimately I think the problem itself is more a result of Keeley's difficulty expressing her own needs than of Roy failing to intuit them

The first time I heard Jamie say his thing about giving Richard space I thought he was trying to subliminal message Roy. He definitely wasn't but I was very impressed for a second there

The hug. The HUUUUUG. I am having a feeling

my controversial favourite episode is Beard After Hours — it feels like an episode of a different show, but TL is a bit of an outlier in terms of my tastes and 2x09 is closer to the norm. That being said I didn't start watching until after all of season 2 had come out and might feel differently if I'd been watching the episodes as they came out

the bit where they're singing at the funeral makes me want to crawl out of my skin with vicarious embarrassment. I have never managed to listen to this entire bit with the sound up.

Is sparkling water actually much more common in the UK than in the US? I'm Canadian and it's generally not the default kind of water to offer people, but it's also not as much of a novel concept as it seems to be to Ted.

AU where someone calls out Uwabami for illegal exploitation of minors.

This has the same vibe of that Mei ask last time... Like either I am to assume that 1- UA can make so much money on televising their students gladiator matches and illegally not paying them but that's ok because uhhhhhh, 2- that it's just legal for UA to do that and because it is legal it is also moral and totally ok, or 3- it's an au where UA is not so exploitative and everything is fixed except just Uwabami is as bad as before.... Ok we'll do something like three because it could be interesting to explore but anyway.

1) UA is very careful with their students images. As part of enrollment, UA has licencing of the students, to be surrendered back to them on graduation. Additionally, part of the money the students generate for the school is kept for the students in an account paid when they leave in order to get started on their career. This is actually part of why UA is such the coveted school for hero students. It doesn't just come with prestige and a better chance of connections, it starts you out with a nest egg of money as you begin sidekicking.

2) for this reason, there's a lot of legalities with internship agencies, worked out where the agency can get a certain amount of allowed use of the student image. The work week study of unlicenced students is not an internship covered by this agreement.

3) so when Uwabami gets some sponsorship products, she suggests Momo and Kendo practice doing ad runs and video shooting, because that's part of her hero work she figures the girls don't learn at UA, which would be focused on field practice during training. Problems and faults that follow are thus: Uwabami did not explicitly tell the team these were to be practice ads and the girls were not released to do this, which she should have. The team did not double check what the plan was for the run, which they should have considering Uwabami also did a run with just her, assuming that more hero girls were better. The legal part of the agency did not double check what they actually had permission for before approving the ad to run, since surely they wouldn't end up with anything that wasn't, and no one checked to see if the girls had been paid. The sponsor company actually also realized they probably didn't have permission and weren't paying the girls, but ran the numbers and figured it would be more profitable to not send any warning notice to replace the ad run and just let Uwabami eat the backlash if anyone noticed. The system failed the girls in many places because it was not built to protect them to begin with.

4) Someone noticed. Specifically, UA and Nedzu noticed. And Nedzu would have acted anyway, but he also does have the benefit of this making UA look a little better, very attentive to student safety and needs.

5) Uwabami has to pay out a hefty fee, pull the sponsorship run, and formally apologize for the mistreatment, with not being able to work with UA the next year for the workweek. Momo and Kendo aren't sure it makes them feel any better, though Kendo at least is happy with getting paid more.

Slow Damage in Hunger Games simulator

This was 100% a product of boredom.

Honestly I know that I picked a couple of characters that are dead in-game, but I don't care because I kind of wanted to add them to the mix for the sake of diversity.

Teams were also not very well-thought out, but it should serve its purpose too

So here goes how this sim turned out!

First off: good on Towa trying to start eating for once, but didn't need to break Mayu's nose for that.

Lisa steals from a literal child, Kotarou is done with Mayu's weeb ass and ditches him and Towa keeps getting food. And Fujieda blows Toono's ass for good measure!

Honami delivers sweet payback to Mizuno, good for her! Meanwhile Fujieda is having a conscience crisis after killing a guy. Mayu forgives Towa for breaking his nose, and now I'm having second thoughts about letting Mei into the Hunger Games.

How is Rei discovering all these caves? Taeko turns savage and kills a poor weeb... and Ikuina spies a mysterious reunion between Maya and Taku... 🤔 And Junko consistently proves that knives aren't acceptable for brawling.

RIP Golden Retriever boy (sorry for misgendering you) & RIP Milquetoast Gay Nurse. Sakaki is acting sus with Rei. Fujieda and Towa have a moment while Taku is on the background tending himself, probably.

Sorry, but Madarame just chilling and picking flowers is so funny.

Sponsors decided the girls weren't killing enough people, so free hatchets! And RIP Eiji & Rei, Madarame is just getting started. Fujieda continues to have a mental breakdown and everyone except Towa sucks at making fires, apparently.

RIP Junko, you served looks anywhere you were. Also RIP Taku, Arata, Kotarou and the Roost Owner. Except Sakaki, he can eat shit. Madarame on a murder rampage while his ex is picking up flowers is such a mood.

Taeko decides that murder is kinda hot actually and gets a piece of that fat ass. On the side, Ikuina and Towa are having a normal one, while Maya and Lisa sustain a one-night toxic yuri session.

Also, I just feel happy that Fujieda and Mei are finally reunited 🥲

Mayu goes wild, he decides to avenge his fallen friends! RIP Madarame, you smug asshole. Also RIP Lisa.

RIP Ikuina, Honami & Mayu, you were too good for this game. As for Maya:

Taeko is now having a bit of inner-searching with someone from the past. And Fujieda is now being an ass, but that's too in-character, as far as I'm concerned.

This is consistently the most Towa has gone through just to eat.

Aaaand, there it is. That's a Bad End. RIP Towa, wish you could've talked things over. And RIP Taeko, you fought good.

...

Which leaves us with only Fujieda and Mei,

Two siblings who have been separated years ago, finally reunited under tragic and precarious circumstances. It's a bittersweet sort of meeting, they have their own lives to fight for, they barely have any time to even talk to each other... but now that every other contestant is gone... they can finally let their guard down.

Mei is so happy to see him alive, even if his hands are stained with blood, even with the horrors they had to live through. Fujieda is so happy, finally having the chance to hold her, to talk to her... it was what he's been hoping for years.

So they do what they've been wanting to. They talk, they cry, they laugh together, they hold each other until the sun sets, until they start to get hungry. There's still supplies left, they can cook something for dinner, so Fujieda decides to cook, because he's the big brother and he's supposed to take care of his little sister.

Mei is thrilled, having missed the tenderness of her brother and she looks forward for the meal they'll share...

... except, she forgets one small single detail:

Her brother can't cook for shit.

And so, Fujieda wins the Hunger Games,

but at what cost?

[charleslebatman]

The fact he fully ignored her constantly until the summer pics and then immediately after them she's at most races and he still fully ignores her until they're at an event that is for pr is crazy. The second they're not being filmed for pr he immediately is back to ignoring her, case and point the New York game. The Ferrari and sponsor dinners he's politer with random guests and talks more with them than his gf who knows absolutely nobody at the events and that to me is how you treat someone you don't actually care about.

I'm not someone who believes in conspiracies but I'm a long time Ferrari fan who's very aware how much pr they do. I'm also very aware of how many singers and actors will date costars and friends because it statically lowers the chance of fans being invasive and trying to make a move and it is also good promo for them, what they're selling and any events they attend or things they promote.

My take is that if they are pr it's for multiple reasons:

Charles is less likely to be harassed by fans trying to have their wattpad moment if he's not single and as one of the most popular drivers it's incredibly beneficial. Single celebs are more likely to be approached by people wanting their 15 minutes of fame and that can be a huge pr disaster.

Brands who work with someone often extend their contracts to friends and family because the more eyes on the products the more chances of people buying it, it's why wags are great promo because unlike drivers they can promote things to the right target audience like dresses, bags and jewelry. Charles is popular and a gf provides gossip and rumours meaning they can use gossip to their advantage to sell things. Gfs in f1 world are a worthy investment the longer and more public the relationship the more money it'll generate.

It's also a commonly known thing that an f1 unwritten rule is no gf in the garage unless you can trust her. Basically everyone who enters any garage and gets close enough to hear and see things has to sign a contract and they also have to be seen with specific passes on otherwise they can and will be kicked out of the garages. It's just the standard safety precaution but it also means that all the wags would have signed a fuck load of contracts, if a driver is constantly switching partners it's just a lot of paperwork and very messy. So long-term relationships are the goal and if it's a pr relationship even better because it's more control and less pr.

Ferrari have had enough data leaks and information scandals that they have incredibly insane security within the garage. All the guests would have signed ndas and had lawyer meetings if they're in certain areas. Just like journalists and photographers and interviewers. All under contracts

Bestie, find an emoji and come back here to give your opinion. I really found this one interesting. 🫶

Ayesha Liveblogs Heartstopper S2

Alright, I have gathered my psychological strength, onto season 2!!

Charlie and Nick's little "hi"s are very sweet to me, they just always seem so happy to see each other

"Kissing at school is a terrible idea," said Nick, both accurate, and in direct contradiction to his actions in the hallway on sports day not so long ago

I understand that Nick is not happy with his rugby friends but it does put him in a rough position to be isolating himself from his long-time companions at a time when he's dealing with a lot of change

What up with Mr. Farouk, why did he yell "QUIET" at the top of his voice like anyone had really been saying anything audibly:

"No chatting, no phones, no annoying questions." Genuinely what is the point of a study hall like this!! Talking to people can help you revise!! The internet can help you revise! Why have desk partners or a study time at all if you're going to be so incredibly restrictive about what resources they use. Mr. Farouk we've just met but you seem like your pedagogy needs some work

The way neither Nick nor Charlie have any respect for authority LMAO. Both texting in class immediately after the teacher starts talking

"I want to rejoin the rugby team." The valiant return of Rugby Romance!!! It is very funny how Charlie's motivation for rugby is 1) Nick and 2) Sport, in that order

"But maybe being weird is how he expresses his romantic feelings." LMAO true

The panic in Tao's eyes upon his romantically-charged friendship touching his hair. A visual demonstration of 🚨WEE OO WEE OO WHAT'S GOING ON 🚨

"How did you know this is my favourite chocolate bar?" HAHAHAHAHA, Heartstopper joining the likes of every Thai show I've ever watched when it comes to sponsor integration. Perfect. Product placement is allowed if it amuses me:

"If we're out by the time we're on the Paris trip, we can kiss on the Eiffel tower." Nick is sooooo romantic. Also it's windy up there

Baffling to me that all these teens are allowed to have a sleepover, not only because of it a being mixed-gender event, but also because half of them are DATING EACH OTHER

Sidenote: I love that Nick does have a support system in these friends

Side sidenote: Whichever tumblr coder took away my indented bullet list ability. Meet me in the Denny's parking lot

Elle and Tao's almost kiss in the garden 🌻💛 This friend group IS incapable of platonic activities

Tao every time Nick says anything: U shut ur mouth, Rugby Boy

"You didn't like me because you're gay." "Well, I... I'm bisexual actually." YEAHHHHHHHHH Nick also fjfhfjhfjk Imogen

It makes me happy how warm and yellow the colouring of this ep is

"Nick is banned from sleepovers from now on." Hater energy, but fair hahahahaha this is what I expected

Quite honestly I am unable to see Tori as any age but 30 LOL. smth about her reminds me of Catherine Tate's Comic Relief skits:

"I can protect him," said Charlie, like he can run faster than homophobia. (I'm with you on the concern, Tori)

Is each season going to have a colour theme? Because this ep looks quite yellow too, where a lot of the last season was blue

Charlie abandoning his schoolwork stresses me out LOL BOY

Rough for Imogen to be dating Ben, he sucks

"It's not my fault he liked me before you." "I hate you because you literally assaulted him." Good for Nick for calling it what it is

"Sorry, am I not allowed to like girls as well as boys?" Ben said, bisexuality is not only for the sound of mind

Nick softlaunching his relationship with a picture of his dog and boyfriend:

Really bold of Elle to declare the art school friends as new friends for life after one (1) day of interaction but more power to her I guess. I love that she is making more friends, and specifically trans and non-binary friends because it really does change your life to meet people with shared identities 😭❤️

Fjkfkfjhf Tao representing my diasporic experience and replying in English while being spoken to in your mother tongue

"He's done some really bad stuff." "What? What'd he do?" "I can't tell you." I feel like you COULD say he assaulted someone without saying who but I respect Nick not wanting to even come close to outing someone

"I don't actually have that many friends." Colour me crazy, Imogen, but I kinda think that's cause you're never at your own school

This GCSE scene with Nick is exactly why I need psychological strength for this show, it's a visual representation of a panic attack

HAHAHAHHAHA the juxtaposition between Tao's mum, who loves Elle and wants her to live in their house, vs. Elle's mum, who refers to Tao as "that boy of yours"

"I just... I just wanted to meet the guy that, you know, turned my little brother gay." Get fucked David, and get out

David said: I am homophobic AND biphobic. I can do both

You know, I'll give my brother this credit, when he found a little gay picture of me he just handed it back and minded his business

Me @ Charlie's mum: Strict parents raise sneaky kids

"Charlie, this is not your fault," said Nick, even though Charlie would take fault for breathing if he could

Tao also representing the diasporic experience of being handed cut up fruit when you're sad

The Elle and Tao pic being Tao's phone background gjkkgjhgjhg

"Honestly, Elle could do better. And she probably doesn't even like me back, and this is probably going to destroy our friendship, it's going to destroy our friendship group, and it's going to leave me devastated for years to come. So, this is probably a really selfish and stupid thing to do, but I'm going to tell her. Help me." Wow, I did not anticipate this level of emotional honesty from Tao. Good for him!

"We're sorry about what happened at the cinema. We should've spoken up." Awwww Rugby Boys Redemption

"I know you and Charlie are really good mates." The immediate cutaway to them kissing is the funniest thing this show has ever done

Ah, well it was only a matter of time before one of the teachers so their many, many school kisses. I hope Coach Singh is cool about it

"Lots of lesbians in women's rugby. That's how I met my wife." YEAHHHHH Coach Singh! Sometimes stereotypes DO comfort me

I loooooove that Nick has a teacher on his side now. Good for him!!

"It's fine. It's done." CHARLIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE why will you take responsibility for everything all the time except the one thing you need to take responsibility for, which is your history essay

Charlie submitting essential coursework five minutes before it's due. Honestly relatable

"You're going to be so annoyed with me after [Paris.] " "Awww, but I love you because of how annoying you are." This is my love language

Wow, Tao, this new haircut and confidence is working for you:

As a sidenote: Cutting your hair when you believe someone else likes you is a bold move. Hair can change a lot kjghgjhgkjh

The way their friends rush them after they agree to go out!!! I love this friend group

Awww, it's fun that Isaac has a newfound relationship in James, even though I am like, 90% sure he's going to be uninterested in romance as a whole

"Look after him, or you die." Tori's Pre-Party Shovel Talk

"Just think of us being out as a couple in Paris." 1) Do you think your teachers will still let you be roommates if they know you're dating and 2) Not terribly convincing when Nick looks like he's gonna be sick

Nick is truly popular against his own will LOL

"You're the one who said we'd always put our friendship first. You promised." "Well, I guess romance does ruin friendship." I do think Elle has been pretty unkind here. I know Tao is acting out-of-character, but he's doing it to impress Elle, and she's responded by inviting her friends, who Tao doesn't know, to the latter half of their date

"Nick doesn't want to talk to you, Harry, piss off." Very assertive of Charlie, good for him

Even though they're in England, it'd honestly never occurred to me that they'd be leaving for Paris on a bus

Counting Isaac and James, there's a lot of Romantic Situations on this Bus:

"What the hell was that?" said Tao, about Nick speaking French, like he doesn't know Cantonese

Skjhkjdhdjh Tao and Isaac immediately preventing Nick and Charlie from sharing a bed

SOMETHING is going to happen between Mr. Farouk and Mr. Ajayi, and while it'd be fun if it was something gay, I think it's going to be homophobic, bc this show just isn't THAT fun

HAHAHAHA Tao just slamming down the apple juice on Elle's table and running away

"I need a drink. An alcoholic drink." "We probably shouldn't drink alcohol." "I need a croissant then." WILL IT be gay? Please sirs

Isaac should also probably take the 'am I gay' internet quiz

"My dad's French." "Since when?" "Since.... his birth?" Nicolas Nelson u are so funny and cute

Does Charlie have a bit of disordered eating? We've seen him beg off having food a few times

HAHAHA the way Elle is like, "I don't want a man who takes me to movies I like, I want someone who jump scares me in museums!"

"It's like all he cares about is having a girlfriend." Probably true, Imogen

Yikes for Charlie @ having to sit next to Ben. Also. Imogen HAS to see what the hell is up here, there's been SO MANY loaded glances

Update from like 1 minute later: Seen, spilled, and SPLIT UP:

"There's no need to call her a bitch," said Harry, suggesting he's okay with homophobic slurs but draws the line at derogatory language towards women

"Everything would be so much easier if I was into girls." Is that true, Imogen?

"You care about your friends so... loudly." A very good way to describe Tao

Tao after Nick compliments him a bunch: I have to leave immediately

Nick said: In the spirit of France, I've decided to try necking

HAHAHAHHAAH the "Oh fu—" cut off on Charlie learning he has a hickey

This is one situation in which it would be better for Charlie NOT to be out because the list of people who could've given him a hickey goes: Nick, Tao, Isaac or James, so I really don't see this being the best situation for anyone

"Charlie didn't give me a chance to figure myself out, and then you came along, and you stole him from me." 1) Can't steal a person 2) You assaulted him, Ben and 3) Figuring yourself out does not equal treating people like shit! See: Nick

"Hey Nick. Is that hickey from you then?" "What if it was? Are you jealous?" YEAHHHHH NICK

"Did Harry just stick up for us?" "I think he did." All Harry required was one (1) empathy lesson from Isaac to develop a conscience

Ohhhhh Tao's comment about accidentally outing Nick from last season makes a lot more sense in the context of him being overheard about Charlie

Little Charlie and Tao are soooo cute omg

Awwwww Charlie making a Charlie and Tao love lock for the bridge ❤️ Sweet boy

"People might think you gave me this hickey if you keep this up." It would be EXTREMELY funny if people assumed that Charlie had somehow gathered a gay boys' school polycule

Is the Louvre background greenscreened kjghkjghg I can't tell

"You don't have to understand your feelings completely to know you like something." Hahahaha Nick being the subtle matchmaker of Elle and Tao this season is something I couldn't have predicted, but I adore

I am growing more and more sure all of the painting scenes are greenscreened haha. I guess renting out the Louvre was out of the budget, very fair

Tao and Elle, while their best friend Charlie is passed out on the floor of the Louvre:

"I don't do poses." "Yes, you do. Go on." I think Mr. Farouk and Mr. Ajayi should develop a little flirtationship. As a treat

"Charlie, I've noticed you, uh, don't really eat a lot. Generally." Me too, Nick

NOT CHARLIE TRYING TO APOLOGIZE FOR HAVING DISORDERED EATING. AIEEEEEEEEEEE

"Sometimes it feels like the only thing I can control in my life." God. godddd. Not to reveal too much of myself, but this is the only fucking time I've ever seen someone in a show with a similar relationship to food as me. Not out of body image issues, or out of personal neglect, but as like. A bad relationship with food and anxiety

"Do you like that fact that I speak French?" Heehee

HAHAHAHAHA Charlie and Nick pointlessly running away from their field trip even though I'm sure Nick would be ALLOWED to meet up with his own dad. Very rebellious

Well, Stéphane, Nick's Deadbeat Dad, made a brief but impactful appearance

"If you're thinking about giving me another hickey..." [High-pitched, lying] "I wasn't thinking about that."

Another stressful moment caused by Nick and Charlie's Irrepressible PDA HAHAH:

"When you don't figure out you're gay until your late 20s, you tend to miss out on those." IT WAS THAT FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND IT WAS SOMETHING GAY!!!!!!!!! YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH MR. FAROUK ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I love that every named teacher in this school is gay. 10/10. I want to give the writers a leetle kees on the lips

"You flirting with me?" "Maybe." Mr. Ajayi!!! 👀❤️

I've not really talked about the Tara and Darcy subplot of Darcy being unable to say that she loves Tara or that her parents clearly don't know she's dating her but I am curious where it's leading

Isaac's No. 1 love is books, and I do love that for him

"To be honest, I sort of had a crush on him last year." We return to Charlie representing The Only Out Kid At School Whom All Other People Figuring Out That They're Some Type of Gay May Inevitably Direct Their Feelings

This is officially THE MOST romantically charged field trip I've ever seen in my life. Even Isaac's trying his hand (and his lips):

"I know I've said some homophobic stuff in the past, but I feel like I know better now, and I'll never say anything like that again." Harry. I don't know if this is going to be enough of an apology to get you into the World's Gayest Birthday Party

LMAOOOOOOOOOOO CHARLIE SHUTTING THE DOOR IN HARRY'S FACE. GOOD FOR HIM!!!

"I know who it was. Me. We're dating." Awwwww Nick ❤️

Also, love love love how when everyone's like "U gay?" He consistently clarifies that he's bi

"I'm going to pretend I believe you have food poisoning." I take back everything I said about Mr. Farouk's pedagogy, he's a real one

Also why on EARTH would they not take Darcy to the bathroom to vom and rally first! Unrealistic, blocked. You would not tell a teacher unless she was DYING

Nick and Charlie's very forthright conversation about how they feel about sex. They're very good communicators! 💟

"I love you so much. I know it sounds like I don't mean it, because I'm drunk. But I really do mean it. I love you." Darcy said: The alcohol was communication juice, actually

Don't look at me but Tara kissing Darcy even though she was just sick is very romantic, I said what I said:

I repeat: THE MOST ROMANTICALLY-CHARGED FIELD TRIP EVER, IN THE HISTORY OF FRANCE:

I feel from the separate delayed glances the night together between Mr. Farouk and Mr. Ajayi did not go that well

Also!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

TAO'S MUM WANTING TO CELEBRATE WITH THEIR ENTIRE FAMILY THAT HE AND ELLE ARE TOGETHER!!! 💘💘💘💘💘💘💘💘💘💘💘💘💘💘💘

The shadowy figures as u enter your house. We've all been there, Darcy

"You probably just haven't found the right person yet." Hoo boy

"Like, being in a world where romance and sex are prized above everything else when you don't feel those forms of attraction. Growing up feeling about something about you is different, but you don't have the words to describe what that is." 1) I love that Isaac is finally finding words for his experience and 2) It bugs me a leetle when people phrase this idea without including the word CISHETERONORMATIVE, because trans and queer romance and sex are CERTAINLY not prized above everything else. It's a necessary distinction

Elle's safe place being Charlie and Isaac and Tao 😭💘😭💘😭💘😭💘😭💘😭💘😭💘😭💘 My heart

"I'm glad you realize what you did was wrong, but you don't get to ambush me into forgiving you." Charlie is SO good at finding words!! He could teach a class

"It's a very attractive sport to women," said Stephane, not knowing he was literally the only person at the table who didn't know his son was dating a guy

Nick said: This is a coming out AND a Deadbeat Dadtervention, get rekt Stéphane

"You have not grown up into the man I'd hoped you'd be, David." WOW. Even Stéphane knows you're wrong, David. That's gotta hurt!

Mrs. Spring, probably: Wow, so your boyfriend comes from a broken home!

"It was nice to meet your... boyfriend. I don't really understand these things, but he seems like a very nice young man." "He is." Alright, Stéphane, you get $0.000000001 knocked off your Deadbeat Dad Debt

"Talk about my brother like that again, and I'll end you." GET HIM, TORI

This show loves a happy/sad juxtaposition, so we must pair Nick and Charlie's semi-successful family dinner with Darcy running away from home

"You should invite him tonight." Gay teachers alliance unite!!!

"And he still carries it all with him. Even though it's over. It still causes him a lot of pain. I don't know, do you think that's true?" "Yeah, I do. I think when something really bad happens, it can affect you for a really long time." Two teenage boys' first endeavour in finding words to discuss trauma

I like Elle's dad, he's fun. I really appreciate that none of the main group's parents except Darcy's appear to be mean

"We've missed you mate." "Yeah. I've missed you too." RUGBY BOYS REUNION 💗

I also haven't really talked about Sahar, bisexual prom guitarist with a frenemieship with Imogen, but I do like her a lot as well

The extra in the green dress staring intently at Tao and Elle is killing me. What a scene-stealer

"I want to go to Lambert." "I know." Shut the fuck up, Elle and Tao are sooooo cute:

"I was going to suggest dinner and drinks next time?" NATHAN ❤️ YOUSSEF FOREVER

Omg. Imogen's little musical note animations on Sahar's guitar!! Is her statement about being into girls going to come to fruition!!!

Heartstopper said: There will be NO relationships that do not involve queer or trans people. Not on my watch!!!!!!!

Nick having six of his closest friends over for a prom night chill is extremely relatable. Heartstopper really does touch upon a lot of memories LOL

Darcy's mum not even giving a shit her daughter spent the night in a public park. Boooooooooooo

"I hide who I am when I'm at home." Darcy 😭😭😭😭😭

I hope and feel that Darcy has a home in her friends ❤️I believe they all have a home in each other

"You never told me about... the bullying." Nick said: I'm going to drastically change the tone of this evening, Charlie

Ahhhhh, I knew Charlie's admission was coming based on the season's warning, but oof

Nick about to tell Charlie that he loves him, like we can't sense it with every fibre of his being

(Aside: I do think both Charlie and Nick should probably be seeing a therapist, or at the very least a (safe) school counsellor. They're carrying a lot)

Charlie about to text it as well!! I wish for nothing but a kinder world and brighter days ahead for these boys:

[jess-moloney]

That interview is so fucking laughable. It starts out like she's someone important and accomplished that people should know about and then bam, she's actually just here promoting her plastic surgeon's skincare line. Between her reality tv hopes and hocking overpriced skincare, I'm just waiting for her to announce an mlm scheme at this point. And of course Jamie was brought up since that's her only claim to fame. "My partner pushes me so much." What, to get a job and a personality independent from him? She probably let such an old picture be used because it's one of the few that show her on a red carpet and makes her look more important than she really is. Thank you for your breakdown video of it, I really didn't want to have to go and give her any views.

I wouldn't be surprised whatsoever if Jess suddenly has a partnership with this brand or becomes a brand ambassador. I could see her doing product placement things or sponsored posts or stories or something.

As I said this isn't an interview it's an advertisement for that doctor and her products disguised as an interview. If you look at the rest of the videos on her IG page it's the same. Anyone she interviews overtly praises her and talks about how great her products are.

If Jess has known her for 9 years then she's very deep into this doctor's line of thinking and will probably be more than happy to help with whatever. Especially since she needs something resembling a job because she either currently doesn't have one at all, what she says she's doing is extremely exaggerated, or she has a job but it's some basic hotel manager shit and not something she'd ever want people to know.

Both her and Doctor Miryam seem like a similar breed of weirdo fitness people who believe things are healthy (when they aren't) and want to push that lifestyle and look onto everyone else. As I pointed out her and Jess have almost the exact same face shape/sculpting and so do many of her other clients (go look through her IG page there's more than a few women who seem to have this exact same cookie cutter Jess Moloney face).

As for the Jamie photo on the red carpet that's by far one of her worst photos, honestly. Though later on in the video a few photos are stolen from Jess's Instagram, one of them is the miserable picture of them snowboarding so not as if it's flattering. This woman is just as shady as Jess is in regards to how she packages these advertisements as interviews. Can we really be surprised?

Ring.A.Bell Chapter 6

Keito: Eichi.

Eichi: Hm? Hello there, Keito. What brings you to the StarPro office? Is there something you need from me?

Keito: Don’t just ask for something and forget about it right after. I’ve put together the things you wanted and brought them over.

Eichi: What? Already? I just requested them from you yesterday. I didn’t expect that you’d be done with them so soon.

You’re as outstanding as always — you finish your work remarkably quickly. …Yes, these documents are perfect. You did your job well. Thank you, this is a huge help.

Keito: I happened to be free this time, but isn’t it better to leave such work to your trustworthy minions?

Eichi: Fufu. You’re my number one minion, though ♪

Keito: How incorrigible. When exactly did I become your minion?

Eichi: My, I wish you wouldn’t say such sad things.

Perhaps this is the product of your experience managing the Student Council back at Yumenosaki…

But the documents you produce are consistently flawless, down to the placement of every last staple. I simply can’t have peace of mind unless I’m able to look through them every once in a while.

Keito: The more you speak the more I get irritated. You’re just tormenting me for the kicks right now, aren’t you?

Eichi: How cruel of you to imply such a thing. I’m your friend — it’s truly disheartening to see you be so salty around me. Why, you’re making me lose hope in the concept of friendship itself.

Oh, I’ve just learnt the word “salty.” It’s terribly fitting, wouldn’t you agree? Young people these days have such a wonderful sense of humor.

Keito: Haah… That’s enough for one day. I’ve done my part here, so I’ll be taking my lea―

Hm?

Is that Anzu’s proposal...?

Eichi: Hm? Yes, that’s right. I wasn’t able to accept it in the end, though.

But, wait… I wasn’t aware that you knew of her proposal as well.

Keito: Well, she came to me for some advice. I don’t know if I’ve been of help to her, though.

Eichi: Oh, I was wondering why Anzu-chan brought it to me so suddenly… Now I see that you were advising her.

Keito: It may not be up to me to decide, but… Why not permit it? It doesn’t seem like the proposal would cause problems.

I understand that the executives worry about the risk, but it’s Anzu we’re talking about. She can surely make things work out.

As long as you fulfill your task as a sponsor, it’ll be as easy as stealing candy from a child.

Eichi: Goodness, you truly are soft on her.

Keito: Hmph. No, I’m not.

Eichi: Is that so? I do beg to differ.

But anyways, if she had given me a proposal I could approve of, I would’ve helped her pass it on to the executives.

However, it simply wasn’t adequate. She has a tendency to get too caught up in dreams and fantasies, and that proposal is proof.

As someone who operates— actually, perhaps it’d be best for me to say “manage” here. In any case, considering my position, I couldn’t have possibly allowed it to pass.

That being said… If she uses this rejection as an opportunity to think it through more thoroughly…

That is to say, if she has a suitable amount of resolve and passion, I might change my mind.

Keito: You and your obstinate personality… Whatever, that’s fine. The position to call the shots belongs to you, after all.

Keito: ―Hm? Do you hear an uproar coming from the corridors…?

Leo: What's goin' on~! Show yourself, Tenshi!

Mao: Uwah?! Why're you yelling?! Tsukinaga-senpai, please restrain yourself a bit!

Midori: We’re standing out so much… They can spot us from outer space… I want to die…

Keito: Is that voice Tsukinaga’s? What in the world is going on there…? Sounds like he’s calling for you, Eichi. Did you do something to provoke him again?

Eichi: To Tsukinaga-kun? No, not that I can recall. I wonder what he wants? I haven’t the faintest clue.

Leo: Ah, there you are! The hell's going on, Tenshi?! I never consented to this!

Keito: Oi. I don’t know what’s happened, but you better calm down. You’re disturbing other people.

Leo: Huh? Oh, Keito's here, too! Uchuu~☆ What're you doin' in StarPro's office?

Keito: I’m here for some minor business.

Mao: Ahh.... We finally caught up with him...

Midori: So noisy… We’ll definitely get scolded for this… How depressing…

Keito: ? Isara and Takamine too… Isn’t that an odd trio to see? Seriously, what’s going on?

Eichi: I’m only hearing bits and pieces, but it seems as though there’s something you’d like to discuss with me.

Leo: Ah—Yeah! I sure do, Tenshi! The hell's going on, huh?! Anzu's gettin' married, ain't she?!

How're you just relaxing right now?! This is no time to act all grown-up, Tenshi! We're the same age, so it's really pissin' me off!

Mao: Tsukinaga-senpai... That last point's not the main issue, you know...

Leo: Anyway! There's no way I'm consentin' to this!

Keito: The…? What?

Eichi: …Erm, what’s going on exactly?

Midori: Umm, I’m so sorry, Hasumi-senpai, Tenshouin-senpai... I doubt Tsukinaga-senpai will be able to tell what’s going on in his current state of mind. Let us explain the situation instead.

Mao: Well... You see—

Mao&Leo TL: Peace

Today's translation #198

Go Yuri go!!! official fanbook, Yamamoto Sayo x Kubo Mitsuro interview

Part 4.

Kubo: My hometown is Sasebo in Nagasaki Prefecture, so in my previous works, I have already drawn characters from Kyushu. I thought that maybe it wouldn't be a bad idea to draw such characters again. So just like that, one after the other, we were inserting [in the story] ideas that we ourselves selfishly could think about: "This is good!". And the moment when, at last, we have started to collect those ideas, happened during that trip. But we also had that conversation: "If we use miles that we collected, it will actually be a free trip!". Well, it wasn't really free at all (laugh).

Yamamoto: At that time, the project was in a suspended state. The truth is, companies that were involved in the Yuri!!! project have once completely changed. That's why, at that time, the situation was quite severe. Naturally, it wasn't even "maybe we will get the money, maybe we won't" level - we had to pay from our own pockets for our travels to do our research for Yuri!!!'s production, and my savings were melting away very quickly. We lost all prospects to get funds for the preparation stage of the project, because we were supposed to get that money after we started working on the screenplay, and I rejected all other job offers to focus on Yuri!!!, so I had no income. And that's why we were talking about the miles (laugh). However, I was absolutely sure that I won't let the project be cancelled. There was no other option left to make the project survive - I had to bring this project to new companies.

Kubo: I personally wasn't concerned with any of that at all. I was just thinking: "Even if the project gets cancelled, it won't be the end of the world. I'm having fun now, so everything's good". Looking back, it is true that at that time, the situation was very severe.

[Notes: This bit about finances may be confusing, but the way I understood it, is that they had sponsors/investors that promised them money they would be able to use to travel and do their research for the project, but in the end, the sponsors/investors left the project before giving them any money whatsoever. The result was that they had no funds for Yuri!!!, and in addition, Sayo had no private income at that time, so she had no choice, but to use her private savings.

Fandom politics ✨

Sometimes you see people commenting on Yuri!!!, that they should have been more explicit blah, blah... something something queerbait and making it all into 100% the creators' active choice, because they are clearly just fujos, too, but the reality is a director would have to be really extra rich to be able to finance their own anime, and therefore be completely free to do whatever they want... Like you can see in this part, and also the next, they rely on investors, and those investors can say anytime: "sorry, we don't like it/it's too risky/our priorities have changed, bye", depending on what's going on around that IP.

And because money is often the cause when nobody knows what's really going on, imo, IceAdo might have had similar problems even back in 2019, but because it's already owned by the production committee (and not the creators), they can't just take it somewhere else.]

Tell me about fixed point my friend. In return I offer a monologue from one if my stage scripts, Matthew's Marvelous and Mystifying Magic Act (ironically preceding my knowledge of magic goes wrong)

Matt Thank you, to those of you who have stuck around to see the latter half of the production. We’ve had a few minor hiccups, but the show must go on, as I have to fulfil a contractual obligation to our sponsor: Wowzafresh cleaning products; scrub away your past with the all new ultra deluxe exfoliator, not safe for human use. Anyways, it seems my parents have still not arrived, though upon checking my email I’ve found that in response to the tickets I sent my mother she has sent back a link to a two year course in Accounting. Perhaps she is hoping I will one day take after my younger sister, a rather successful paralegal, in having a career she can tell her book club about and not receive condolences in return. Still, as a brief note the rabbit has been captured and safely returned to its cage and Sasha and I will be arranging a carpool after the performance to get rabies shots. I would highly encourage any of you who may have come into contact with it to do the same. Now, back to the magic!

(He is visibly startled by the smoke bomb this time, not managing to exit before it dissipates. Instead he just waits for Sasha to open the curtain.)

man i'm starting to think that you didn't find the goes wrong franchise... the goes wrong franchise found you

as a (fictional) scientific concept, the fixed point theory is a maxim of time travel that suggests that the progression of events is relatively immutable - summed up in the phrase anything that has happened will happen, and anything that will happen has happened. mainly, if a person goes back in time to do anything, whatever they do will ultimately contribute to the version of the "future" they know. vanessa speaks to this rather confusingly in the first chapter: "if she went back and time and killed her grandfather, she wouldn't cease to exist because her grandfather wasn't actually her grandfather, and this was how time was and he would always die like that. or something."

specific events are known as Fixed Points - moments in time that everything surrounds, like nails in a string, things that Cannot Be Changed, even as little bits and pieces shift and twist. most of what we know as history consists of fixed events. the shattering of the cornely drama society is also a fixed point.

this reminds us, as time travelers, that despite the freedom and adventure that comes with it, all our choices still have lasting effects - you can't go back and change it once it's happened. as a bonus, it means that the cpds didn't fuck anything up when they went to the seventies 😁

(also, it's just very important to the plot.)

thanks for the ask you're the best!!!

WTNV Quick Rundown - 20 - Poetry Week

This episode features contributions from: Trilety Wade, Russel Swenson, Vanessa Irena, Katherine Ciel, Erika Paschold, and Danielle DuBois. They supply the poems~ but as always, you can take any guest contribution as you will. I will not be replicating the poems here, but will give a general jist/summary.

“You’ll be safe here,” says a whisper behind you. Welcome to Night Vale.

It's Poetry Week in NV! Citizens are encouraged during this time to write poems nonstop (During this time, the City Council lifts their bans on writing utensils, thesauruses, and public descriptions of the moon. And they mandate that everybody use their municipally-granted free will to join in on the fun.) The poems are then fed to (chained and caged for our safety) librarians. Cecil remarks that he still thinks this is dangerous, as he remembers the carnage caused by librarians in 1993, but encourages everyone to not dwell on the past.

Trilnity (Trinity) Wade is NV's Poet Laureate delivers an obscure poem about life in NV (with clenched teeth and frightened eyes). She then screamed "It is lies. It is lies!" before becoming minute white particles and fluttering away on a swirling breeze. Cecil remarks that it was like snow and had the same snow smell (fennel and meat). A voice announced over the PA "Everything is perfect in our little town."

Pamela Winchell writes a poem about not allowing anyone to be anyone. The Sheriff writes about...well I'm not sure, but it's very morose. 3rd grade teacher Irena Panchyk writes about Street Cleaning Day. Old Town NV resident Katherine Ciel writes a poem which is also a traffic report.

There is a poem on a paper attached to the gate of the Dog Park talking about something being awakened and mysteriously signed only by 'E'. This turns out to be Erika, one of the angels, all angels are called Erika. City Council therefore goes from being upset about the dog park gates opening for the first time to reveal a black monolith within to welcoming people in to see it. The gates then close and disappear into the smooth onyx walls, trapping everyone who entered inside.

Amongst those inside was Intern Dana (or her double, whoever survived), who Cecil sent to investigate. She did manage to text a picture of a poem inscribed on the monolith before she disappeared however, which was apparently written by former mayor Danielle DuBois in 1954. Cecil tries to text her back, but a crack which oozes blood forms on his phone. He says he will miss her.

The NV zoo will finally have actual enclosures for the animals. However, they are also dropping a random zoo-goer in the new Sensory Extraction Room for two straight days while zookeepers harvest their scent and teach it to genetically-improved predators. There new logo is: "You go to the zoo so the animals can watch you."

Madeline LaFleur (Exec Director of the NV Tourism Board) sent in a piece of paper which just reads: Tourism is Important, in all caps. Below that is a reddish-brown smudge shaped like an underfed hawk alighting on a mesquite tree. She also scotch-taped what appear to be 3 human molars to the page. Cecil debates whether this is still poetry or more visual art.

Billboards saying that soon everything will be 20% off have appeared. With no brand or store or product associated, the SSP say this could be literal and are wondering if they get to decide what 20% of everything gets taken and where it goes. Scientists say that thermodynamic laws make that impossible. The SSP insists that scientists are comedians and should stick to comedy.

The Greater Night Vale Realty Association is todays sponsor. It's head, Russel Swensen, says “No one has lived here for years. You're one of them. One of the No ones. A woman is a fire and no one is invited. Anyone can watch. No one can help.”

As the old saying goes “Streets swallow their own tails and choke.”

The next show after Cecil's is 'the sound of some helpless thing being eaten. Goodnight, Night Vale, goodnight.'

Day 91- TV and Radio: 

TV: 

Beat the Clock, “Best Stunts of 1952,” December 27th, 1952. 

Our Miss Brooks, season 1, episode 13, “Christmas Show,” December 27th, 1952. 

What’s My Line?, season 3, “Sally Rand,” December 28th, 1952. 

I Love Lucy, season 2, episode 13, “Lucy Hires an English Tutor,” December 29th, 1952. 

Radio: 

The Phil Harris and Alice Faye Show, “New Year’s Eve Party at the Harris’,” December 28th, 1952. 

Suspense, “Melody in Dreams,” December 29th, 1952. 

Fibber McGee and Molly, “New Year’s Dance at the Country Club,” December 30th, 1952. 

The Great Gildersleeve, “New Year’s Eve with Peavey,” December 31st, 1952. 

Wow, this is it! These are the final radio and TV episodes of Project 1952! On the radio, I said goodbye to some of my favorite shows. I’ve gone on at length about my love for Alice Faye. I still wish she’d gotten more time on her own show, though. Fibber McGee and Molly was hands down one of my very favorite shows of any genre. It’s just always consistently funny, the running jokes slay me, and I adore the cast of eccentric characters with funny names. 

The episode of I Love Lucy today was a really good one. Lucy wants everyone to take English lessons so the baby learns to speak good English. She has Ricky read a children’s book, to see how it will sound. The book has the words “bough,” “rough,” “cough,” “row,” and “through,” causing Ricky understandable frustration at the ridiculous spelling and pronunciation of English! 

Beat the Clock recycled the stunts that were voted best by both the audience and the contestants. It was fun- of course there were whipped cream pies falling on husbands’ faces!  

What’s My Line? has lately had a fill-in panelist for Hal Block named Robert Lewis. He’s dreamy, I gotta say. He gives off a nerdy Gregory Peck vibe, and I’m here for it. He sits right next to my main crush of the show, the impossibly elegant Arlene Francis. Today’s occupations were a tax collector, a man who makes mud packs for facials, and a lady who ran a pool room. Sally Rand was the celebrity- I hadn’t heard of her, but I guess she was a famous burlesque dancer, known for risqué feather dances and popping balloon outfits!  

Our Miss Brooks was the funniest one I’ve seen yet. It is definitely a well produced, well written, and well-acted show. It’s not as stratospherically good as I Love Lucy, but it was made by the same production team, so you can see similar high quality. I’m looking forward to watching more, because I bought the DVD of the first season. 

...And now a word from today’s best sponsor: Sylvania Blue Dot Flashbulbs! The world’s most popular flashbulbs!

Yes, we really did just say that. Get the best: use Sylvania flash bulbs with the blue dot as a symbol for quality! And if you’re lucky, the picture might actually turn out- but you won’t know for days as you wait to get it developed!
