Summary of The Cat of The Year poll atrocities of 2023/2024

I'm sure that most people on this side of tumblr have seen the Jellie vs. Nefarious Anglerfish poll going around with like 60k votes at this point, and I'd really like clear up some of what happened since I was around for the whole thing.

Url blocked out for op's privacy. They have already left but don't look for it if you haven't seen it/don't harrass them if you already have.

1. The previous round (preparation)

I discovered the poll in its previous round, needless to say she beat Jort's ass severely. This was around the 3rd of january, meaning that this round finished before jellie's passing with only about 7k votes. Op did add their own piece of propaganda from their main:

...which was FINE. (except for stuff we'll see later) Of course running a poll while biased isn't ideal but I for one didn't even know they were the op until much later. I also added my own piece in a separate thread, and they didn't interact with it at all. There was no drama.

2. The Finale

Jellie unfortunately passed away right before the starting of this poll, which was the catalyst for what happened next. Op did exactly as last time and added a slightly more mean spirited encouragement to vote for the other contestant. This is the point where I believe that i fucked up personally.

I added this thinkpiece accusing op of associating all mcyters with Dream (who we all hate for the record) despite them not alluding to him at all. This is because tumblr has a history of disimissing all mcyters as... everything that dream was been accused of. Op did allude to not caring for mcyt. but they didn't say what i accused them of. This is important to point out because this reblog of mine is still being spread. Jellie was in the lead at the time, but not by the time i woke up next morning.

I won't be including anyone else's additions because I don't want to put blame on any specific person. Just felt like clearing up mine.

3. The Fuckening

Some time later op made this post to their personal blog:

which is insanely shitty because, as other people have pointed out, the "lame ass youtube cat" didn't die to inconvinience op or ruin their fun, and people would have probably voted for her anyway because jelly is universally beloved in the mcyt community. This isn't anti democratic. This post was added to the poll with a caption saying op should not be running this poll, and it took off. Op later went on to say that this was a joke:

This apology was not taken well by people, (including me) because "you were not meant to see it" isn't an apology and they still very much made fun of someone's pet dying. Safe to say this did not make the drama stop and only added fuel to the flame. I believe this was the point where the conversation of mcyt fans being unjustly sent hate to was reignited.

We should discuss that! it's a real thing that happens often and is equal to childish bullying. However, in this case, OP was the only one getting sent hate to my knowledge. The notes were mostly saturated by mcyt fans, and even now i can only find one or two hateful stance towards us under the whole 20k notes post.

4. Conclusions

Op posted a second apology to the catoftheyear blog to try and calm people down (i believe this is comprehensive and a lot better than the previous one) The blog was deactivated shortly after, so i only have my phone screenshots of it that i also added to the poll itself at some point:

(Edit) Here's proof that op did not write the justification they got criticised for, from the notes of the original poll:

This apology didn't get seen, or get accepted by enough people, so op made this statement on their personal:

Needless to say I am deeply dissapointed (and guilty) that it's come to this. Yes, op said tasteless things that made us all angry, but telling a human being to commit suicide is worse than being insensitive about a stranger's pet dying. Even after I posted about the blog being decatived i had someone come into my notes to wish that "they never find happiness" i mean wtf. This isn't like shipping where we can do whatever without the content creator's input. this is fucking harrowing and i can't imagine how i'd feel if this was done in my/my pet's name especially after losing them as recently as a week ago.

I hope no one from hermitcraft who is on here (let alone scar holy shit) learns about this like they did with previous lighthearted tournaments. If you truly respect the creators you claim to be a fan of as people, you do not tell people to kill themselves over them. And finally, let Jellie fucking rest, guys. she had a long, good life. I hope op can come back and also avoids behaving like this if they ever wish to do so. I'm angrier at mcytblr, though.

warnings: embarrassment, masturbating, stuttering, cocks, eating out, fingering.

a/n: guys school started so i didn't really write a lot and my laptop crashed a few mins ago while i was almost done with writing and it didn't autosave, i'm so thankful for all the love on my other posts. i tried to keep this as genderneutral as possible. requests are still open!! --------------------------------- LUCIFER

he knocks on your bedroom door but doesn't give you enough time to fix your pants.

you stare at each other for a bit until he clears his throat and looks away so you can fasten your pants again.

while waiting for you to fix yourself a tent is forming in his pants, thinking back on the way you laid splayed out, hair stuck on your forehead, cheeks rosy colored, making his clothed cock twitch.

might as well call you to his office later to talk about it, maybe add some physical touch too, since his cock won't stop bulging in his pants at just the thought of you.

MAMMON

knocking? what's that?

when he catches you in the act, hand still on your private part, he needs some time to realise what just happened.

shakes his head in disbelief, thought you were a saint who would never do this, will not stop thinking about it when he's alone in his room.

secretly hopes you're busy with yourself again, every time he enters your room, so he can ask if he can join you, since he regrets he didn't ask it the first time.

LEVIATHAN

doesn't knock either, and just storms into your room.

he doesn't even realize what you were doing until he sees how red your face is, the way your eyes are glossy from embarrassment, your pants still open, and your intimate part still visible.

literally just runs away and stays in his room the whole day, doesn't go to dinner either, just because he's embarrassed to see you.

all that time alone with his own thoughts about you has his dick going hard, he might as well be fisting his cock the whole day while thinking about you, alone in his room.

SATAN

normally does knock, but of course, the one time he doesn't, this happens.

''oh... how unfortunate.'' 🧍‍♂️, he says that while he knows he loves it, sees how embarrassed you are so he just leaves you alone.

when he tries to read his books, he catches himself re-reading the same sentence four times now. he just can't stop thinking about you.

will definitely make remarks, and tease you but more in an indirect way, so it stays between you two.

ASMODEUS

of course he won't knock, why would he? what do you have to hide from him anyways?

''you were doing this, without me?'' he pouts as he comes closer, closing the door behind him.

if you allow him, he'll show you how good he is with his hands, fingers softly stroking and teasing.

if you don't he'll just watch you masturbate, since you look so cute when you do so.

BEELZEBUB

ended up in your room after following the amazing scent he had been smelling.

is a bit shocked when he realizes where it's coming from.

''can i try it out?'' he asks you with puppy eyes, he was so excited to feel it in his mouth after he's been so eager to find this scent of your arousal.

is unsurprisingly good with his mouth, tongue lapping around, swirling, sucking and he won't stop. it's like endless plates of food for him, it isn't until you have to beg him to stop, that he stops.

BELPHEGOR

suddenly he's wide awake when he sees what's going on.

loves the view, stands with arms crossed in the doorstep as he licks his lips, tells you to keep going, no matter how embarrassed you are, and doesn't even understand what you're so embarrassed of since you look so damn good.

his pants start pressing up against his crotch, so he'll have to release his hard cock now.

whenever mammon brags about how he's your first man, he'll definitely ask him if he ever saw your private part too, now he has something to be first in with you too.

DIAVOLO

stands there for a bit, not sure of what he's supposed to do.

when he sees how embarrassed you are he leaves.

but comes back in your room fully naked, now you won't have to feel embarrassed anymore, right?

wrong. you feel even more embarrassed, this will now forever remain as a core memory.

BARBATOS

knocks, definitely knocks.

the way your appearance looks messier than usual doesn't go unnoticed by him, and he quickly connects the dots and realizes what you've been doing.

he smiles softly, happy that you're feeling comfortable enough to do so.

will add a light aphrodisiac in your tea, so you can continue where you started off when he leaves.

SIMEON

''oh, mc! i'm so sorry!'' he says as sweat buds appear on his forehead, he's in so much distress and embarrassed about what happened.

after you calmed him down and told him it's alright he still doesn't leave. ''you can continue, i don't want to be a burden.''

you awkwardly continue masturbating after he's been so eager for you to do so.

will chant your name and cheer you on when you climax.

SOLOMON

there's no way you didn't do this on purpose. that's what he thinks even though he is the one that walked in on you.

he tells you how cute you look when you masturbate, and doesn't even care that you're super embarrassed.

a bulge starts forming in his pants and he swiftly releases his cock with a soft groan.

''mc, wanna help each other out here?'' he asks with a big grin.

The Tortured Poets Department

pairing: george russell x wolff! reader

series: the tortured poets department

synopsis: y/n wolff falls in love with george russell, her father's other mercedes driver.

warnings: none

author's note: sorry for not posting for a week 😭 school has been stressing me out and my family. im glad im back to put my creative mind to use.

You left your typewriter at my apartment Straight from the tortured poets department I think some things I never say Like, "Who uses typewriters anyway?"

You were cleaning your Monaco apartment one day when you notice the typewriter that George owned. He left his typewriter at your apartment.

Every time George would come to your apartment to spend time with her in secret, he would always bring his typewriter. George would always joke about him looking like a poet coming from the tortured department from Mercedes.

Since Lewis was leaving Mercedes at the end of the season, your father has been pressuring George to perform better than Lewis. You knew how much stress George was going through so to relive the stress he would hang out with you and use his typewriter.

You stop cleaning to take a photo of the typewriter to send to George.

y/n wolff you left your typewriter you tortured poet

george I left it so I have an excuse to see you again 😉

You blush at George's response. There's things that you think of that you would never say to George. Like, "who uses typewriters anyway?" But you knew it was an escape for him.

But you're in self-sabotage mode Throwing spikes down on the road But I've seen this episode and still loved the show Who else decodes you?

It was the Australian Grand Prix, George was in self-sabotage mode because he got into a crash before the race ended. "Georgie, you're okay that's all that matters." You say to George before he starts throwing more spikes down the road.

"It's not okay Y/N. Your dad is probably so pissed that Lewis and I both didn't finish the race." George says as he walks back in forth in the room.

You stop him mid way and give him a hug. "We'll worry about that later." Your hand gently goes up and down his spine. You've seen the way he always stresses out about your dad. So you always relax him by moving your hands up and down his spine. Who else decodes him like you do?

And who's gonna hold you like me? And who's gonna know you, if not me?

"I love the way you hold me like this." George says as he calms down from his anxiety attack. "You know me so well."

"Who's gonna hold you like me? My little brother?" You both laugh about the comment about your brother. "And who's going know you, if not me?" You smile at him before he leaves to finish his race interviews.

I laughed in your face and said "You're not Dylan Thomas, I'm not Patti Smith This ain't the Chelsea Hotel, we're modern idiots" And who's gonna hold you like me? Nobody

f1news THE NEW TOTO AND SUSIE WOLFF: Y/N Wolff was seen with her father's Mercedes driver, George Russell, out at the Monte-Carlo Masters this weekend. Are they the new Toto and Susie Wolff of Gen Z?

user1 THEY DEFINITELY GIVE OLD MONEY

user2 mama y papa 😍 mom and dad

user3 they are toto and susie (gen z version)

****

"George," You look around your apartment to see where George was. You find him in your office writing on his typewriter.

"What is it Darling?" George asks as he takes off his old man glasses.

"Look at what the media is calling us." You pass him your phone and show him the post f1news posted about you two on instagram. You laugh once George finishes reading the caption. "The caption is too funny! They're comparing us to my parents."

"I'm not Toto though," George says. "And you're not Susie either."

You give him a kiss on the cheek, "This isn't Mercedes, we're just modern idiots." George smiles back at you while you hold him.

"Who's going to hold me like you do?" he asks.

"Nobody."

You smoked, then ate seven bars of chocolate We declared Charlie Puth should be a bigger artist I scratch your head, you fall asleep Like a tattooed golden retriever

George lights up a candle and grabs chocolate from the fridge after you two clean the apartment. Charlie Puth was playing in the background while you two were cuddling on the couch eating seven bars of chocolate.

"Charlie Puth should be a bigger artist." George says after eating his chocolate bar.

"I agree. He has so many hits yet he's not even big!" You say putting the leftover chocolate back in the fridge. After you wash the chocolate off your hands, you cuddle with George again.

Charlie Puth was still playing while you scratched George's head. A couple minutes later, George was asleep like a tattooed golden retriever.

But you awaken with dread Pounding nails in your head But I've read this one where you come undone I chose this cyclone with you

A couple hours after you both fall asleep on the couch, George wakes up from a nightmare. You wake up from the movement that George made, you realized he had a nightmare. "George, you're okay." You rub his back to try and calm him down.

After a while, George is ready to open up about his nightmare. “I spend so much of my life being scared, wanting to please everyone around me. I had a nightmare about everything I've built go away in an instance.” George never really got this deep into his feelings, but that night he became undone.  

"I understand what you're saying. I've always felt that way too with spending so much time in the media. I'm scared that whatever I say to them will make a bad impression on my parents. I've always people pleased everyone." You place your hands gently around his neck and say, "I chose this cyclone with you. We'll get through this together."

Sometimes, I wonder if you're gonna screw this up with me But you told Lucy you'd kill yourself if I ever leave And I had said that to Jack about you, so I felt seen

The Mercedes team had some press to do in New York before the Miami Grand Prix. Lewis, George, and your dad were unveiling the new Mercedes car emoji on WhatsApp on the Empire State Building and you decided to tag along.

After the emoji was unveiled, George and your dad were talking to investors while you were talking with Lewis. "How are you and George?" Lewis asked you as you were taking a sip of your drink.

"We're doing okay. We have problems like every couple days. Sometimes, I wonder if he's gonna screw this up with me. He's been through a lot of stress this season." You tell Lewis. "Maybe I'm self sabotaging but I told this to my mom, so I felt seen."

"George talked to me earlier about what he's been going through this season." You both look at George as he's having fun dancing with some investors. "He's glad to have you by his side. he told me he'd kill himself if you ever left."

You were shocked by Lewis' words. Sure George was you boyfriend but you never thought his feelings for you were this strong.

Everyone we know understands why it's meant to be 'Cause we're crazy So tell me, who else is gonna know me?

"You and George are meant to be." Lewis says smiling. "You guys both drive me crazy." Lewis says sarcastically while you laugh. George leaves the dance floor and heads to you.

"You're ready for our date?" George asks while wrapping his arms around your waist. You nod yes and he takes your hand. You both say your goodbyes to everyone and head to the Empire State Building lobby.

"You ready for our pizza date?" George asks.

"You know me so well." You smile before George asks.

"So tell me, who else is gonna know you like me?"

"Nobody." You both smile before he drives to your favorite pizza place.

At dinner, you take my ring off my middle finger And put it on the one people put wedding rings on And that's the closest I've come to my heart exploding

George had emptied your favorite pizza spot in New York (with the help of your dad of course). Your favorite slices of pizza were ready to eat as soon as you arrived at the location. As you guys eat your slices of pizza, George cleans his face before starting to talk .

"Y/N, Darling. You're the love of my life. I love everything about you and that you're always by my side through thick and thin. You helped me overcome certain obstacles in my life. I wouldn't be who I am today without you." George kneels down and takes the ring out to propose to you. "Y/N will you marry me?"

"It feels like my heart is exploding!" Y/N says before cleaning herself up. "Yes! I'll marry you!" George smiles before kissing you. He then puts the engagement ring on your finger.

I dont think he needs to come out defending Lou - Lou can handle himself he’s a grown man and has taken ( I think at least) the best course of action (stay silent until the season starts back up again). However I do have a lot of mutuals who are queer men who feel little hurt by the lack of acknowledgement for this queer relationship. Like getting excited that your favourite show has a relationship that you feel represented (just like with Michael and David) only to have silence from the social media team and the actors (well we clearly know why Lou is currently silent -when he was active he did talk Beautifully about them) can be hurtful. I don’t know if this makes any sense at all. But I did find it a bit odd ( and this is not me assuming malicious intent - I like to give the benefit of the doubt) some of the patterns I’ve seen. At the end of the day everyone is free to do whatever they want - while at the same time fans can feel how they want to feel. I understand both perspectives.

I don’t know if any of this makes sense -it got away from me as I was writing 😂

I know what you're saying, and I agree. I think people are (I assume unintentionally) lumping calling out bad behavior and acknowledging the canon relationship together as the same course of action, but...it's not. (I mean, from what I saw of the reaction to my post there was a lot of hand-waving for why Oliver's "doing the right thing" because fandom is out of control.) I don't think Oliver needs to "defend" Lou or even Tommy as a character. (He didn't defend any of the women on the show until they were gone so why start now, honestly.) But there IS a way to take a stand without even saying anything, isn't there? Post a story. Post a pic. Share a fan edit. Captions not needed. The content would speak for itself. He's not staying silent because he hates the story line - sorry Buddies! - because he definitely knew that if the GA reaction went well BuckTommy was going to continue past those four episodes. He's staying silent because he lets these people behind a screen get in his head and make him feel like he has to walk on eggshells while "interacting with fandom". And listen, we all get it! He's gotta do what he's gotta do to protect his mental health! But you can acknowledge his feelings without dismissing the feelings of the queer fans who are only seeing a guy essentially do a 180 because public pressure is too high. How is he "representing" anybody if he doesn't even celebrate the story he's telling? [There's a quick-fix to all of this, btw. Get a fucking social media manager to do the posting so he doesn't have to see any of this shit with his own eyes if it's gonna drag him down that much.]

[salchat]

So, here's another Dean. This one's in neocolor crayon, which are very soft crayons - you can use water with them, but I haven't here, because the paper's newsprint and it would fall to pieces very quickly if I used water.

While I was drawing, I was pondering various arty matters. Mainly, how some art/craft posts - mostly on Facebook rather than here - irritate the hell out of me. You know the ones. Where there's some amazing piece of art/craft, but the caption is something like, 'please be kind - it's my first time!' When it's blatantly not their first time, unless art and craft is just plain easy, which it isn't. Anyway, I'm not sure why people make those posts - for others to comment how amazing they are? I suppose. But it must be pretty hollow to receive such compliments. Unless it really is their first time. And even then...

So, anyway, it made me think, why do I post my art? What exactly do I get out of it? Do I do it to receive validation in the form of compliments? I'm not saying there's anything wrong with that, but I just wanted to be really honest with myself. And also, why do I make art in the first place and why this particular type of art, drawing the same characters over and over?

Well, I think I draw for the same, or similar reasons that I write - because it's my own world, that I can control. There's comfort there, isn't there? And comfort in the characters I draw and write about - they're not called comfort characters for nothing, after all. And they're beautiful, aren't they? They're just damn beautiful. Why wouldn't I want to draw them?

So, I guess I want to pour my love into creating something beautiful, or as near beauty as I can get. And I choose to do that with my crayons or my charcoal or my pastels because I love those things too - their colours, the way they spread, the way you can make big, soft marks or sharp, dark marks, the way you can smush them around with your fingers, the way you can just mess about and sometimes it doesn't work and sometimes you get an amazing effect that you didn't know was possible. I love drawing randomly, roughly, searching and searching until I find what I want.

But why post online? Hmm... Well, yes, it is nice when people think what I've created is technically skilful. I have an ego that likes to be stroked, same as anyone else. But if that was the only reason, I'd probably cheat. Some people do. And if that makes them happy, who am I to criticize?

Anyway, I think what I'm after is connection, which is in no way an original thought. That's what makes fandom so wonderful, isn't it? The way you can find connections with other people all over the world. I think when I post, I'm looking for people who love the same kinds of things that I do - the same characters, obviously, but also the same kind of approach to art. The colours and the roughness, the playfulness and the 'continuing mission' to find beauty. I think I post in the hopes that someone will see my art and think, 'hey, I like that.' And that they'll feel a little spark of joy.

I think that's what all our fan creations are about. You get the firework of joy and excitement that goes off when you create your story or your picture and then, around the fandom world, other people get a spark struck from your joy. Which is pretty flowery stuff, but, hey - I'm a writer, aren't I?

That's enough rambling. Nearly. Because I also want to do the thing I often do, which is totally anti the 'it's my first time!' kind of posts. This is very far from my first time and I want you to see the crappiness of my progress shots, because it's important to know that there's almost always a lot of crappy stages before you reach something you consider beautiful. Not perfect. I'm not after perfection, which is impossible anyway, and I would never say any of my stuff is perfect because it's far from perfect and I don't want that - I want life and humanity and striving toward something.

I'm gonna shut up now, because there are burgers to be cooked and chocolate cake to be eaten, and hey! Doctor Who's on soon! Bye!

Loki s2e5 Thoughts & Feelings (Spoilers)

THE INTRO LOSING THE LETTERS!! I'm a sucker for when an intro is slightly changed. And in the end credits when the lines and type get all wonky! I love it.

Ok I have a question. When Loki finds everyone, they are all on branched timelines, not the Sacred Timeline. So doesn't that mean the lives on these branches could be slightly different or totally different than their original lives on the Sacred Timeline? Sylvie says they're back in their "real lives", but is that even true? 🤔 Also, I know people are theorizing that Don's wife was dusted during the snap, but technically in this branched timeline, the snap might not have happened.

B-15 being a doctor was so good 🥺 "I looked happy." Yes, you did... I just noticed her name on the captions was "Dr. Willis!"

Don!Mobius said he'd seen Loki in the shop before, did Loki timeslip there and not remember it? Or... has that not happened yet?

OB's workshop looking super similar to the one at the TVA - So cool!

"So I am gonna write a bestseller!" Stop he's so pure!!

Did anyone clock that OB's book cover looks similar to Loki and Slyvie on Lamentis? 👀

"It's impossible. But don't let that stop you."

This is probably obvious but Loki couldn't control the timeslipping until he truly accepted his "why." Not to protect the timelines from HWR, but to protect his friends.

Don!Mobius literally dropping everything to talk to Loki and offer him a drink. Fellas.....

"You saw something in me that I hadn't seen in myself." NO THIS IS STRAIGHT OUTTA FIC THO 😭

I can't believe Loki assembled his own Avengers 😭😭😭

Gawd, the show starting with Loki's speech about how humans don't need choices, and now he's fighting to give his friends choices..... that's the good shit.

"I want my friends back." DO YOU REALIZE THE CHARACTER GROWTH?!?! Loki never had a friend other than Thor. He was so closed off, he didn't think he ever needed anyone else. He told the lie that he was fine, better off, by himself. For him to admit that he has friends, and he wants them, and doesn't want to be alone...? 🤌🤌🤌

"But without them... Where do I belong?" WHERE IS TOM'S EMMY?!?! The tear, the voice shake... this man 😭😭😭

Remember, this Loki is a "cosmetic mistake." He isn't supposed to exist. Mobius saved him from being reset. Without the TVA, without Mobius... he has no reason to exist... no glorious purpose. But he was still willing to let them all go to do the right thing 🥲🥲🥲

Mobius trying to sell a Jet Ski to B-15 is too funny.

THE MONKEY FROM THE INTRO!! I've been wondering what that was all about... we also see OB's sticky note wall!

"The pens... we have all the pens!"

When they all start spagettifying being parallel to the dusting scenes in Infinity War.... RUDE, MARVEL. MR STARK I DON'T FEEL SO GOOD.

"I can rewrite the story." YES YOU CAN KING!! And my immediate reaction was "Loki, God of Stories"! At first I thought Loki and Sylvie were going to run the TVA together, but now I feel like it might be Loki alone (with Mobius' help of course), managing all the timelines... writing the story.

THAT ENDING!!!! I'M SO READY BUT NOT READY FOR NEXT WEEK!!! I can't believe we're at the end.... I'M SO SCARED! 😭

4 FAB totally unrelated questions:

Can you make your favorite Beatle and solo song list ?

I really enjoy reading your Mclennon fic, are you planning to write more ( I hope so)

What is your favorite McLennon theory, thing they did or photograph?

I also really enjoyed your Get back / understanding Lennon-McCartney series, can you make more? Your captions and details are so good.

me when I read this

I abhor favorites, so here's some lists as of RIGHT NOW in this current moment. It will be very different in about three seconds. My toddler's is much easier. I Have to sing Maxwell to him before he goes to bed or he will cry.

Top 5 Solo(upbeat): 5. Crackerbox Palace 4. Just Like Starting Over 3. Getting Closer 2. Old Siam Sir 1. Monkberry Moon Delight

Top 5 Beatles(upbeat): 5. Baby You're a Rich Man 4. I Wanna Hold Your Hand 3. Rocky Raccoon 2. I've Just Seen a Face 1. Dont Let Me Down

Top 5 Solo (downbeat): 5. Vanity Fair 4. I Don't Know 3.Jealous Guy 2. Isn't it a Pity 1. Junk

Top 5 Beatles (downbeat): 5. Strawberry Fields Forever 4. Blackbird 3. You Never Give Me Your Money 2. Eleanor Rigby 1. While My Guitar Gently Weeps

2. Thank you so so much and yes! I post new chapters of my series every Monday. Right now they're in Hamburg and things are Very Messy. I do want to write more after this fic wraps, but I've got other things I want to do first, see question 4.

3. As far as my own actual mclennon theory I swing to both sides of the spectrum (they fucked on the regular the whole time just without any secret committed romantic relationship ---- they literally never did anything it was all just mutual pining and maybe Paul didn't even understand what he was feeling until it was too late) depending on what evidence I've read or watched recently. My favorite thing to think about right now is all the secretiveness of the seventies. Like why do we have so many conflicting accounts of when they last saw each other and the same thing about the amount of time they spent together during the lost weekend?

4. Thank you for saying that, you're too kind! Yeah I do want to do more of those. I want to do the fifth parts of ULM and I have thought about doing Two of Us and other Beatles movies, but here's my list of to-dos. 1. Finish my current fic 2. Answer two big deal asks that are sitting in my drafts 3. Write my claimed prompt for the summer of love 4. Do more reactions

I super appreciate this ask anon it was so much fun! As always I'd love to hear your thoughts too if you feel like sending them in asks or messages or whatever:)

What advice would you give to a simmer just starting out writing stories with their sims? How do you build engagement with your posts? How do you write such addictive stories?

Wow! Okay. Buckle in because this will be a long one. I think the most important thing is writing for yourself first and foremost. Don't let your passion be driven solely by engagement (though it's impossible not to be motivated by it a little bit!) but by your own desire to see your project through. I've been a creative writer forever, and 75% of that writing has been written for an audience of one. But sometimes a character or concept will grab me by the throat and refuse to let go, and that's what keeps me invested. I unfortunately can't tell you how that happens. It usually feels like a happy accident. But when it does, it comes through, and readers will want in on it too. That being said, here are some tips for actual presentation:

Engaging visuals. I don't think Reshade or fancy editing is a requirement, but I can't pretend I didn't see a huge uptick in engagement when I started using it. Now, that may also be because I started thinking more about the composition of a shot. Diversify your angles and perspectives, and don't be afraid to zoom way in or out! Move that camera around as much as possible! I know very little about the technicalities of film and photography, but I think the more you practice, the better your eye becomes for what looks dynamic.

Legible captions. I'll be brutally honest: when I'm scrolling the dash, I'm less likely to stop for story posts if the text on the images is not immediately readable. I've by no means perfected this, but I've tweaked my own text over time to make it larger, and I find that very light colors with a black border is almost always the best option. I also try to visualize leaving space for the text to fit as I'm taking shots (though I sometimes forget).

Text-only transcript. My controversial opinion is that I don't like reading transcripts because it's easier for me to engage and follow along if I can see the images and words interacting. BUT I still think it's important to include them, so I always have one under the cut. If you'd rather not do captions on images at all, I personally find it more engaging for the text to be broken up throughout rather than in a big chunk at the end. This is especially helpful if you're writing more descriptive prose, as most people (including me) unfortunately have very short attention spans.

Adaptability! It's helpful to have an outline (whether it's in your head or written) of where you want to end up and how you're going to get there, but the most fulfilling part of writing for me is in giving myself license to follow new ideas or let old ones evolve, even if that means going a bit off-track. Also, it's tempting to establish a formula and lock yourself into an aesthetic from the start, but if you feel like something isn't working, don't be afraid to change it up! You'll be unhappy if you stick with it just for consistency's sake, and you'll rob yourself of opportunities to experiment and have fun. I think readers also appreciate a shake-up so that things never start to feel stale.

That's a lot, I know, but hopefully some of it helps. I've only been doing this here for a few months, and I'm also still figuring things out!

Maybe we got lost in translation

characters — xiao, venti, aether, the wanderer, albedo

warnings: not proofread, grammatical errors, typos, fluff, crack(?), xiao (actors!au), venti (royal!au), aether (actors!au), scaramouche (canon!au), albedo (royal!au)

note: in royal!au venti isn't one of the original archons (im not going into further detail but thats that) literally most of this is from rp.. HAHQHAHQHA crdts to my bebe gurls :astig:

summary: when things don't go according to plan, the unexpected events really give you a surprise.

— XIAO

“It was a joke..” He muttered, confused why his girlfriend—well ex-girlfriend was even fighting him on twitter.

'Moon guy doesn't even stand a chance for my friend, I don't even support him.'

A simple twitter post that was retweeted by him with a caption of 'Maybe this is your the one' along with his friend's tag—his friend seemed unbothered by his joke and even decided to humor him a bit, so the man was lost at the sudden attack from his ex.

“Well your humor's shit.” He reads aloud and as much as Xiao still loved you—he was rather confused on why, just why are you so pressed about that one twitter post he retweeted as a joke for a friend.

'...Does she like this Moon guy or something?' His brows furrow at this, he was going to court you again but seeing how you got mad over the simple twitter post.. at this point the man gave up on defending himself for his joke as he began to write a new post. A public apology.

Heck—Xiao doesn't even know why he was doing this, perhaps it was because he didn't want to upset you. Even if you two broke up, upsetting you was something Xiao didn't want to do.

And as he posted the public apology that had a lot of likes in no time—considering he was an actor. Seeing as you didn't sound upset anymore and was attacking him for the joke, that eased Xiao and allowed me to let out a sigh of relief.

Archons, that joke certainly didn't do well.

— VENTI

Companion. That was what you asked of Venti—what you told him when you invited him to your travels, you knew nothing of sort from the bard, no idea which nation he resided in. But it was fair—knowing he didn't know you resided in Khaenri'ah.

But here you two were, revealing the secrets the both of you hid as you two headed to Watatsumi. “I'm a former Archon, The Anemo Archon.” You could hear the fear in Venti's tone as he reveals his past to you—as he tells you he was Mondstadt's former Archon. “Youngest and Weakest.”

And as he finished, the bard was unusually quiet whilst eyeing the floor as if it was the most interesting thing he had ever seen. Venti knows what the Archons had done. And even if he didn't participate in the war as it was his mother who did so—he knows people can hold a grudge from the parent to the child. 'Who wouldn't?'

Because once you're an Archon, the title will stick to you even when you step down.

The former Archon was silent and so were you as you extended a hand out for him to take, because you knew if you spoke—if a word slips out your mouth you would be against your own morality. But you have always been against yourself your entire life. You were never the one to go with the norms.

Venti sucks a breathe at this as he hesitantly takes your hand in his, slowly interwining them as he muttered out his apologies for the original Archon's mistakes—for his mother's mistakes. Apologizing and allowing himself to let out his guilt from what happened.

And you stayed quiet through all of it, not minding it as you knew, a parent's mistake cannot be passed down to a child. And so you only caressed his hand and leaned down to place a small kiss on it. An act of devotion.

For kissing an Archon's hand meant respecting and worshiping them. And a Khaenri’ahn like you is far from that. But you felt like the action was all needed without much words needed to say.

“Then you must be the most divine I have ever met, my Archon.”

How ironic. A Non-believer and an Archon in a relationship.

This certainly wasn't how it was suppose to go but no one's really complaining.

— AETHER

Aether was confused. How or why did it come to this?—The last time he checked he didn't hate you, he just preferred to not socialize with you because he had no reason to—well that was back then.

So the blonde was confused hearing your words thinking he hated you and such, right after he confessed. “That... sounds ridiculous.” He agrees to what you say, when you said you were an idiot for assuming.

Because you were an idiot. Just because someone didn't talk to you—you assume they hate you? Can't a man just not socialize? It wasn't a requirement to talk to you on set.

But Aether grew to love you and so, he couldn't be mad at your assumptions. He only sighs and nods in understanding, “I apologize for that misunderstanding then, princess.”

He leaned down to press a kiss to your hand, looking at you apologetically. He was still confused but you do you. “No, no. I'm sorry for assuming!” You felt guilty, your stupidity really was on another level.

Assuming your co-actor hated you because he wouldn't talk to you off-set was truly a mistake on your part, to think you even talked bad about him on your private twitter account... You were really guilty.

“But let's put that behind us, okay? We cleared that misunderstanding up now.” “Okay...”

That was truly a stupid misunderstanding.

— THE WANDERER

He can't believe this. He said he'll keep you around so he can use you, so he can have someone to order around when his subordinates are too useless to finish his orders.

But 'lo and behold, the Balladeer doing his paperwork with you on his lap, dozing off comfortably as your head rested on his shoulder and an arm wrapped around your waist whilst his other hand signed documents.

“When are you gonna be done?” You mumbled, no hint of complaints in your tone—sounding genuinely curious yet sleepy. “Soon, baby. Just give me more time.” He softly says—something no one—not even Scaramouche himself thought he could do, yet he moves his free hand to stroke your back as he continued to work.

“Mm... Okay. Wake me up when you're done..” You muttered, eyes failing to stay open as you press a kiss to his neck before nuzzling your head there as you dosed off from feeling Scaramouche's warmth engulf your whole being.

Scaramouche only hums at your words, focusing on finishing his work just so he can go and rest with you properly.

This was not suppose to happen.

— ALBEDO

You told yourself, you just want to be acquaintances with the famous Lord Albedo from Khaenri’ah.

Yet why were you here, with him on their manor's rooftop—having an intimate moment with him as you two admire the stars?

Doing things acquaintances don't usually do. Acquaintances don't lean on each other in the most closest way possible—they don't have deep talks with each other.

And you certainly don't interwine hands with an acquaintance. “What does this make us?”

You hear the man beside you mumble breathlessly. “Honesty will be much needed, my Grand Duchess.” He adds, the question had you turning your head to look at the man.

“Definitely not just friends.” You laugh, cheeks warming up at the use of your title—no matter how many times you've heard it, something about the man saying it felt different.

Though you were feeling bold and brave. “I can't say lovers since none of us asked each other...” And so you look at him, gaze unwavering as you spoke. “So allow me to ask first. How about you take the place as my lover, my Lord?”

“Then I'll be glad to be your lover.” Albedo leaned down to press a kiss to your hand. “Be mine, my Grand Duchess. Be my lover.”

Your breathe hitched at this and although it was you who asked, all the confidence and boldness disappeared just from one single statement from him. “I'm yours, my Lord.” You manage to mutter our breathlessly,

Acquaintances definitely don't do these kind of things.

I see that you are a dewis connaisseur as well, so I was wondering if you have any fic suggestions or any authors that write about Dewis that you know of? I feel like a drug addict in desperate need of a fix.

Thank you in advance☺️

Hiii Anonstie! So, I literally just went straight to my bookmarks lmao. I will admit, that I haven't read any new Dewis lately, and thats on me- I've been distracted with writing lol. BUT!!! Here's a lovely list, I truly hope I linked everything correctly. I know dr3writings put out something recently as well, that I plan to check out- I already know its good Hopefully the formatting doesnt get messed up, but I mainly hope I've provided something you haven't read as yet! <3

I'm an amature writer and artist, but can I paint a picture for you? You don't even have to say anything about it, all I ask is that you

don't look away.

There's a woman holding two children's hands. One is standing next to her, crying and whimering quietly. She's looking directly at you, with a not quite accusing glare and a face covered in dirt and dust and her own blood. The other is hidden away on a hospital bed under a sheet. The woman holding the children's hands is their mother and she is screaming, begging in a language I don't understand, but then, agony has never needed words, has it?

Ah, my apologies, that's a rather cruel image, isn't it. Here, let me try again then, just

don't look away.

There is fifteen people in the front of a picture, and many more in the back. Of the fifteen people, five are children. One is a small child strapped to an older man's chest with a baby carrier. A second stands near the same man's legs holding a sign in a language I cannot read. A third and forth stand together wearing matching outfit's and standing together holding another sign in that same language. The fifth stands to the left of the fourth and third. He looks younger than those two, but still older than the second and the first. There's an older woman holding a boquet of flowers and there's several younger women in the photo too. In total, there's six women. There's four men in the picture with them. The caption of the photo is in a language I do know, announcing that they are the Hattab family. In that same caption, it also says that every one of them are dead.

Oh my, that was too harsh as well, wasn't it? Let me try again, one more time, just

don't look away.

There's a beautiful young woman, with curly hair and nice skin and and makeup on. She's sitting in a well lit library, with her face leaning on her manicured hand. She has long white painted nails. The library in the background is clean and organized, and the woman is also sitting by a window that lets more light into the room. The woman looks a bit annoyed, as if she just had to deal with an especially loud gnat or another equally small thing that she didn't like. There's a caption on the image, it reads "111 days. Impossible to go back to normal." She does not look at all alarmed or scared, or hungry or thirsty, and she does not look hurt. There's another caption on the same image that was written by another person. It reads, "This is how you know that it is a genocide and not a war. One side is being murdered and enduring unimaginable suffering 24/7. The other side is relaxing in cafes complaining about being scared of an undefined threat, in between living their lives as normal. This is not war. It is genocide."

If you haven't guessed by this point, I am not talking about something false. This is written descriptions of images and videos of the current genocide of palestine. I write this as a person who is not of either country, and nor am I in any way related to any person on either side of this war.

I cannot look aside. I refuse to look aside from this. All I ask is that you do the same. Let the world watch, let the world see, and

don't look away.

A Case For NaNoWriMo and AI

I have been thinking for a couple of months about trying to use an AI writing tool like Sudowrite, then I saw today that people are absolutely losing their shit at NaNoWriMo for endorsing their use. For reference, here is a link to their position.

First, let me explain my position. There are a lot of reasons why I don't write like I used to or would want to. I have a full-time job, I have a family, I have neurodiverse kids who have support needs. I have autism, yeah, but I also have terrible ADHD. There are reasons I have been sitting on starting this creative project for months, and needed the flu to slow me down enough to lay the groundwork instead of just rewriting the same things in my head all the time. Writing is just one of many, many things I would like to have the spoons for, and I just...don't.

Like a lot of ADHDers, I think I have good ideas but getting them to the finish line is not my strength, to put it lightly. I think sometimes I just need a push. I know my work could use polish, because my instinct is to just post and be done with it. I used to do mostly quick-hit captions, and a novel seems wildly out of scope for me, but I would like to write longer works at better quality than I have before.

I read a few of the posts, before they made me too upset, and a common sentiment is that writing, and art, for that matter is about the ideas behind them, and those come from people, not computers. I agree 100 percent. Which is why I don't see that it matters if I use an AI tool. It's still my work.

The AI is a tool, that's all it is. Do people honestly think I'm going to tell an AI to write 50,000 words of gibberish, slap my name on it, and call it my own? Has anyone ever seen the output of one of these tools? I use Github Copilot sometimes as a programmer because it saves time, catches some mistakes, and can explain errors. But I wouldn't trust it to write an application. I think there is some misconception you don't have to put in effort to get AI tools to do the work for you, and that's not true at all, especially if you are trying to do a good job. If I wrote 50,000 words using Sudowrite, my guess is 98% of those words and ideas woud be mine.

I've seen other disabled people out there saying, "I wrote 100,000 words last year, and I'm disabled, and I didn't use AI to do it." Okay, what do you want, a medal? I paid off my student loans, but guess what? I still think student loans should be forgiven because I think college is egregiously expensive.

I've seen people argue that "AI could be used for important things, but they're using it for this," and what I hear is, "Because I don't need writing assistance, AI should only be used in ways that would potentially benefit me."

You want to argue about AI being trained by for-profit companies on copyrighted works without permission? I'm not going to argue with that, I think it sucks. But I'm also not going to call someone a thief because they use Facebook or Windows.

I guess, ultimately, NaNoWriMo isn't even a competition, and that's why I'm unreasonably ranting about this. If you took the challenge and wrote 50,000 words, that is a tremendous achievement, and you should feel proud of your accomplishment. Full stop.

Why do you care if someone else needed some help to get there? Do you think it cheapens your accomplishment? Do you think they don't deserve to feel good for reaching their goal because they needed an accomodation to do it?

If that's your hangup, if that's why you are mad at NaNoWriMo, what does that say about you?

[phoenixfurred]

hi, i genuinely hate people who diss shippers. first off, this is going to be basically incomprehensible so be prepared.

so i ship sunflower (OMORI). pretty popular ship, between sunny and basil. i'm sure we can at least acknowledge that tropes in which childhood friends become romantic. (YES I KNOW THERE'S MORE BUT THIS ISN'T AN OMORI POST AND I DON'T WANT TO GO ON FOR ANOTHER 2 HOURS). the point is it's a pretty popular and reasonable ship, avoiding spoilers as best as possible they go through some shit together so of course they're close. i don't even know if i ship them romantically or just like very close pals. not close pals (tm) but close pals (regular).

alright, thats just a little context.

i come across a lovely post (/s) on pinterest even, shocker the safe haven is here to make me angry, that says something along the lines of "the omori fandom would be better without sunflower shippers" with the caption "sorry (not really)"

so i click on the post to see dozens of people agreeing, and i think one said that it didn't match the vibe of the fandom?? one person said they shipped sunflower and had about 83 replies to their comment which i didn't look through because i really am trying to be an optimist and its so h a r d. aanyway.

first of all, i'm sure you tumblr users (yes you) are at least aware of the jelsa (jack frost x elsa) phenomena (?) that was happening at some point even if you didnt participate yourself. obviously those people posting this type stuff either a. weren't around then (more likely) or b. got sent to ship conversion therapy (funnier?). because like how can one be so against such a normal ship. obviously theyve had their ups and down but that brings me to point 2.

so many people think that just because a ship could never work out, it means you can never ship it (cancel culture my enemy). THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND IT'S A NEED. a ship that has no angst between characters (controversial), is a dull one. what it's saying is "these characters have never had any obstacles to work around or to strengthen their relationship". in my humble opinion that makes it uninteresting. it's nice to see a relationship going well of course but its also nicER to see characters put in emotional effort.

part of the reason why fandom exists is so that you can make content that's not canon and that INCLUDES ships that'd be toxic in the actual media. genuinely if you think fanon has to follow canon silence your trap. if anything shipper who do this are more likely to mischaracterize characters for their own ship to work which goes against this mindset.

(side note please dont do that thing where you dumb down a character to one trait it's so genuinely irritating i want to ARGH)

people this immersed in what ships can work and which are acceptable and "fanon vs canon" (and then the "canon" is also not) and all that need to, not joking, please go outside and interact with more literature and real people.

it's the whole thing about modern media today being very self-indulgent, so many characters nowadays are written to basically be self-inserts, and when people see a main character acting problematically (ex. Lolita) they immediately assume it's the author projecting which it isn't. can confirm as an author, i would not eat people. that's what writing books is for, at least for me.

ALSO literally no shippers are "ruining" a fandom unless it's like. they genuinely want a kid and an adult to get into a romantic relationship. (things like that). in which case, seek help. DO NOT SEND ANYBODY DEATH THREATS EVER, EITHER. OH MY GOODNESS IT SHOULD BE SELF EXPLANATORY. but literally if anything its people who try to police (ick) what ships or characters are acceptable to like that ruin the fandom. if you do this i hope this reaches you so you can stop because oh my god.

it doesn't hurt you and it doesn't hurt the fandom nor should it concern you, because as we all know it's not a human handpicking things to show up on your fyp, so literally just scroll. just scroll! so easy, so simple!

anyway TL:DR don't harass people or hate on people because of a ship they like even if it's toxic.

King-Chan #8: ep28 body swap ep visual commentary

unreliable incomplete notes

mofu note: they were speaking fast, laughing and overlapping all the time i couldn't get everything. this is like ~85% of the long TTFC ver. The Gira/mie is strong in this one.

Kaku-san is hosting this time (thank them for letting Taisei off the hook)

Aoto/Yanma can't join because of schedule conflicts. He wrote a detailed memo with timestamps that Yuzuki will read out for him

[ep27 Recap]

So praised the narration and Masashi the bgm.

Erica noted the tonal shift between ep27's desolation and ep28's shenanigans.

They were all impressed by Dugded's CG universe in ep27. The visuals are more than anything they can imagine just from the script alone.

Erica asked if wire work was hard for Taisei. He said he was hung up for a whole day and his waist hurt.

Everyone calling for Aoto when Yanma shows up on screen.

Everyone going "ara" when Himeno shows up.

Everyone clapping for Kaguragi.

Masashi: *claps table* Objection! Why am I the only one injured here?! Everyone is so cool but I'm all beat up!

So: So you want to complain? Please, face the camera.

Masashi: *looks to front* I have a complaint!

Taisei: Even if you're beat up, it's a beautiful sight. (lit. idiom: beautiful like a painting)

Everyone: Ara!

Masashi: Ara... Thank you. How nice of you. ;D

Erica: Kamihori-san said so too :) (in the roundtable with Takamina and ⚙🕸)

[Dugded's room]

So: That was when the Five Jesters only had four members.

Erica: I kept wondering what that transparent sphere is.

Masashi: Balance ball.

Erica: But it's transparent?

Taisei: *loading* Yeah, it is.

(mofu note: KOPN28 said the transparent effect is achieved by incomplete composition from the green props. They are wrapped in plastic for a different reflection rate with the green background so a semi-transparent effect can be achieved.)

Taisei: What's everyone's favourite jester?

So, Taisei, Yuzuki: Goma.

Masashi: Minnogan

Erica: Glodi

[Sleeping Angel]

🦋🕸⚙🏵 STOP!!!

🐝: What?!!!

Aoto Memo #1: Kaku-san's first cut as Himeno: an angel's sleeping face (寝顔天使)

So: He's praising me? *waves around* Thank you, Aoto! Thank you, Aoto! *finger heart*

Masashi: Wait, does Himeno smile in her sleep too?

So: Well, it's not written but they told me to do what I like so that's my image of her.

Erica: It's like she had a nice dream.

[Honeybee stretch] caption: んっ❤

Taisei: *wake-up stretch* I also like your wake-up stretch.

Masashi: How did you come up with that?

So: Image. She looks like she will say something like that.

Erica: *wake-up stretch* So not a "hnnnnnnnnn" but just "hn"? 

Masashi: the "hn" comes after the stretch? *Masashi & Yuzuki mimics*

Aoto Memo #2: Kaku-san's Himeno, first time we see her first breath in the morning. Fishy but too cute, I forgive him. (初発生初吐息 / あざといけど可愛いすぎて / 許しちゃう自分がいる)

Masashi: He loves this scene!

Yuzuki: He gave me the memo but it's pretty much all Kaku-san XD

So: Thank you, Aoto! *does Aoto's favourite pose and Yuzuki follows*

So noted it's the first time we see Kaguragi's sleepwear.

[高飛車娘]

The cast didn't understand the Chikyu script on Kaguragi's phone for Himeno as well. Erica heard from Mizuma-san (head maid) what it means when they went for a meal together.

So: Isn't it awesome the fans can decode that?

Taisei: What does it actually mean...?

Erica & So: *villainess evil laugh hand* Someone who looks down on others.

(mofu note: 高飛車 [たかびしゃ] is a Japanese Chess [shogi] technical term that lends into describing a domineering person.)

Yuzuki: the maids jumped when you stomp on the floor

Erica: Sebas got rounder too.

So: When did I ever slap my thighs??

Erica: That was Kamihori-san's idea.

[Rita's first Skapon Tanuki]

So noted Rita was barefoot in the first scene.

Yuzuki: Yanma said I did a nice Skapon Tanuki

So: Did he write it down? It's your own part, you need to pause it and read it properly.

Yuzuki: I thought we don't have to pause for this. He just said "Rita's first Skapon Tanuki. Nice Skapon Tanuki."

[Yanma's Rita scream]

Yuzuki: (paused anyway) OK, this pause is just right. He overdid it. I don't roll my eyes or tremble. XD

[GiraJera]

They all said GiraJera is super similar, esp. the voices.

The "Tyrant King! King of In-betweens!" exchange is not in the script according to Taisei.

So mentioned Jera-in-Gira checks out his right arm and Taisei laughed embarrassingly, looking over to Yuzuki and said he practised Jeramie's hand movements.

Yuzuki: Wait wait wait. This happened that morning at the entrance of the studio. When I was coming back to the studio, Taisei was coming the other way. He keeps doing Jeramie's hand. *mimics Taisei mimics Jeramie's tosa hand*.

Taisei: I was practising this scene. "'This means...' Ah it's Yuzuyan."

[OP]

They noticed the OP narration changed from 5 to 6 countries and "man who would become king" became "rebel warriors".

[Rita sitting down]

So: Rita's new pose sitting down is a big surprise too. It's quite different from what we've seen so far.

Yuzuki: I was waiting for the cameras to get ready. Because the sword is so heavy, I put it down and leaned on it to wait. They told me it's alright to sit down for a bit, and that ended up in the OP.

Masashi: That pose is cool.

So: It fits Rita's character.

[Jeramie's throne]

Masashi: What do you guys think of the throne? Is it cool? 

Team: Cool! Congrats! *claps*

But I have another complaint.

Yuzuki: You only have complaints? >v<

So: It's alright, let's hear it.

Masashi: My throne is just a green box* and a green screen, and then I have to pretend sitting on it all majestically. You all have an actual throne.

So: Aoto is not here right now, but he even has a PC desk! XD

(*箱馬 Hakouma = standardized wooden boxes for blocking in theatre, english term: apple box)

Aoto memo #3: "After the opening during sponsor intros, the stacking shugods are cute, I like it."

Masashi: *leans in closer* God Kamakirki's claws are cute like this. *mimics kamakiri claws*

Erica: It always does that, behind the throne too. *mimics kamakiri claws*

Taisei: Aoto is detail-oriented to see that.

Erica: The shugods look like they get along.

[Dumbbell]

So: Kaguragi and Himeno are arguing about the dumbbell in this scene, but over here (Yanma & Rita) something's happening too. This scene is always fun to watch and rewatch every time.

Yuzuki: Gira and Jeramie's reaction is fun to watch too. *confused about how to call Jera-in-Gira, Masashi corrects her* Gira-in-Jera is always *mimics Gira's wide-eyed confusion* and behind him is like *mimics Jeramie's open arms*

Taisei: We filmed more footage than usually needed for this scene.

So: The director let us act freely in this scene so it came out fun.

Taisei: Yes, everyone got to show their personality.

Erica: Right. We were like playing around.

Masashi: We were enjoying ourselves too much, weren't we?

Erica: It was very chaotic at first, during table read.

So: Right, Kamihori-san told us to act freely. He instructed us one-by-one what mannerisms to pay attention to as another character.

Erica: The dumbbell wasn't in the script at first. 

Masashi: Was Kaguragi ever a bodybuilder?

So: No, but he's a power-type character and we want to show that. We thought of slicing the throne in half, but that's impossible of course. Takada Masashi-san (Spider Kumonos SA) suggested the dumbbell.

Erica: Tera-san (Teramoto Shugo, Hachi Ohger SA) said it should fly away.

16:51 Masashi/Yuzuki ???

So: Does Rita do the Moffun chirps themself?

Yuzuki: Rita does, but here was Aoto's improvisation on set. 

(mofu note: Yuzuki keeps using 勝手に to describe Aoto. a little bit accusing that he's doing all these by himself (light-hearted of course), as she later revealed that Aoto didn't discuss with her at all how to portray Rita. It fits with Aoto's style that he prefers the on-set chemistry and doesn't discuss much with the N'kosopa team as well.)

So: Why does Himeno have a second dumbbell when the first one is swept away?!

17:27 Yuzuki & So: *mimics Ootono-sama arm in sync*

[🤔Kaguragi vs. Himeno]

Erica: I don't quite understand (the nuance of) Kaku-san's chin-touching gesture so I asked the director. He said that was touching his beard. But Himeno sometimes touches the tip of her chin when thinking too, so I need to open my thumb and forefinger wider (to grab my whole chin).

Yuzuki: *laughing under her breath*

Erica: What?

Masashi: Don't just laugh sneakily.

Yuzuki: No! XD Taisei is saying in a small voice, "it feels nice to rub the stubs" XD Only I heard him. He keeps muttering something like "じょりじょり" right next to my ear! XD

Taisei: I just resonated with the scene.

So: Right, when the beard grows back a little.

[Erica's ad-lib: "Muscles to protect the people!"]

Masashi: The legendary line is here.

So: Mari is awesome for reacting to my ad-lib so quickly. She asked me if there are more exercises than just the bicep curl, and I said the side raise. She asked, "Then what muscles does this train?" "I'm not sure..."

Then filming started... no, that was during the test, she answered "Muscles to protect the people!"

Erica: The truth is I forgot the names of the arm muscles.

Taisei: I was next to Kamihori-san. He said, "Genius."

Erica: Well, this is the fruit of everyone's hard work.

Yuzuki: this shot when everyone switched to serious mode when the enemy shows up is cool.

Erica too focused in playing Kaguragi her elbow was scratched by the shugoddom chair's handle.

Aoto memo #4: "Rita's line "Been waiting for you" is super cool I want to say it. Jealousy Brasieri."

Yuzuki: *faces camera* Um. Aoto. Can you not do a silly pun in a letter? I am the one who has to read it out.

Taisei: Somehow I can see and hear that in Aoto's voice and his expression.

That line is added on set by Kamihori. Yanma had beef with Goma because he attacked N'kosopa in ep27.

cap: no naming sense.

Erica: I love this line, it's very Himeno-like.

So praised Masashi's hensin is very Gira-like.

cap: kaku henshin

They love Kaku-san's As-Himeno henshin they go back and watch it again.

So: Actually I wanted to click the Kamikiri switch, but only the Hachi works so my face is "whatever 😠"

Yzy: Your gesture is like a praying mantis leg too.

Mss: I want this as a Line stamp.

22:24 🏵🕸🦋 mimics "もう!"

[Moffun pat]

So: What's up with patting Moffun and the pon pon sound?

Yuzuki: Usually I'll do the pon pon sound too, but this is all Aoto's idea here. "I can't always just hold Moffun in my hand." So he asked the prop master to pin it onto him. There isn't a pocket on his jacket. "Will it stay if I pat it?" He didn't do the Moffun pat in the test though, just the actual take.

cap: mari henshin

Erica: This is me trying my best to bring about that physique after the director told me to observe Kaku-san. My inner thighs ended up hurting a lot because of the squats. But that was good exercise for blood circulation so any swelling is gone now.

[J!Gira's shiso kourai]

Taisei added an "Ahh~ ああ~っ❤" in post-recording, Masahi said if it was him, it would've been "Uhn~"

Taisei: But you can barely hear it in the final product thought. It got covered up by the sound effects. *holds imaginary crown above head* /kachaan! Ahh~

Kaku: (when Spider Kumonos hugs Gira from behind) Your voices here are too similar!

Aoto memo #5: これYanmaであり平川結月 いいね (This is Hirakawa Yuzuki with Yanma mixed in. Good.)

Aoto memo #6

そうね仕方ないね やつは

だめだ我慢できない言わしてくれ

可愛い... ♡

Right... There's no other way... He is....

No, I can't keep it in anymore, let me say it:

Kawaii... ♡

So: He was holding it in the whole time?? Was he? Thank you, Aoto. *finger heart*

[The boys' love gossips]

Masashi: I'm feeling kinda jealous... I was the first one to call Kaku-san kawaii! AOTO!!!

Taisei, Yuzuki, Erica: It has started...

Masashi: It's too much of an inside joke. >D<

So: The love triangle?

Taisei: a real tug of war... (ガチガチ)

Masashi: Aoto and I both like So-chan.

So: And that Taisei and Masashi are dating?

Taisei & Masashi: *nods* Yes.

Masashi: We're clear now?

So: It seems so. Either way, we can always cut out this part.

[ohsama walk]

So: look at Rita's radiant smile!

Masashi: Yeah, it's Yanma.

Yuzuki: Right, because he's plotting something. Look, look, he's up to no good.

Masashi: The set was filled with laughter here. This scene is too interesting.

Erica: (Kaku-san is) skipping too.

So: Does Himeno skip when walking?

Masashi: No, right?

Erica: demo sebas ha two step de skip suru kara...  [??? no idea what she's talking about]

So: So it's not impossible?

Erica: Maybe once rarely. She is also a good dancer.

So: Maybe if she is too happy.

[H!Kagu in Toufu]

Erica: Kamakiri is kawaii with Scorpi.

Erica loves Kaku-san copying Himeno's habitual hand gestures.

a section mute for spoilers (week filming ep38)

The fan is actually (already) broken in half for this scene

[Y!Rita releases Nkosopa prisoners]

Taisei: That's like Yanma.

So & Masashi: That's like Hirakawa Yuzuki.

Yuzuki: Yeah, the high-five is not in the script.

Yuzuki: Here it comes. He overdid the scream.

[Jera-Gira square scene]

Yuzuki pointed out it's a nice distinction that Gira-in-Jera turns back first hearing his name is called. Taisei replied that it's Kamihori's instruction. They loved the scene of the two's back.

(J!Gira says thank you when the woman clarified she is worried for instead of about the bugnarok)

Masashi: a good expression. a good expression.

[Staff: How do Taisei & Masshi achieve such good acting?]

Masashi: "What would Gira do?" "What would Jeramie do?"...

Taisei: We discussed it in length until the actual filming day.

Masashi: And we did the voice tuning together too!

Taisei: I asked him to repeat his lines for me...

Masashi: And he would mimic it from there on.

Taisei: Maybe we actually switched.

(Staff: Even the angles of head tilt are similar)

Taise: Yes. We incorporated each other's unique features.

(mofu note: they are literally finishing each other's sentences)

Masashi: Because we're close! 

Taisei: That's the reason?

So: Because you two are dating?

Masashi: Yes, because we're dating!

Taisei: *picks up Masashi's hand* Right. It's out of frame, but we're actually holding hands.

*cast wheeze* *Masashi tried to hit Taisei on the head but he blocked it*

Masashi: That's right. Because we're dating!

Taisei: Apologies. *bows*

Masashi: Because we became good friends with each other, we can give that performance without talking. It's like we actually switched. That's the story.

So: Next time when you're asked what you like about your fellow cast, you can just mimic it.

Taisei & Masashi: Yes.

Masashi: Even the little details.

Taisei: Even the tiny details? Every nook and cranny?

Masashi: That's enough for now!

Yuzuki: okay, okay, let's move on ^o^"

[Honeybee 2]

Masashi, So like that Himeno had to get hands-on and improved Toufu's medical care.

The wasabi used is a high-class one, worth 2,000yen each. Three were prepared. Yoshimitsu-san (Sebas) told them at the end of the day not to waste it and it was distributed among the crew.

Taisei squeezed his eyes to figure out if the river background is composite. It's LED wall.

Good wasabi only grows in good water so the crop is suitable for Ishabana where water is an important design element.

(Putting down the wasabi root on Sebastian's tray) Erica: It's important to inject that power into my movements.

So: I like the "sore ha nani yori" line after here.

[Yanma & Rita's prisoner hamster wheel]

Yuzuki: No really, everyone is having such a touching scene, what ARE we doing?! Gira and Jeramie moved forward peace between humans and bugnaroks. Himeno and Kaguragi understood each other better and with a touching piano bgm too. What ARE we doing? It's meaningless to just send prisoners back and forth. Why did our relationship become worse?

Erica: For the two of you, arguing is proof that you are friends with each other. 

Yuzuki: These two synced on the wrong channel. "What ARE we doing?!" Yanma said so too.

Aoto memo #6: "What are we doing?!"

They all laughed at Yanma's exasperated sigh picking up the phone.

[Baka Ninja]

They like the "idiot ninja" line and Yuzuki said it's actually corrected in dubbing. The original line is something like "It's back". Since Rita has their mouth covered, it's easy to correct their lines in post.

(mofu note: I remember Yuzuki said something similar but I forgot the source. Sometimes her lines are cut for the same reason too, just because the director thinks it's cooler if Rita doesn't speak there.)

[Final fight]

Erica's second Kaguragi henshin is her second take. She kinda overdid it the first time, it looked a bit silly.

They can't distinguish who yelled "お待だせ" for Gira and Jeramie.

Masashi: (when they switch back) Gira's laughter here is cute. "A ha ha".

Finisher: cool

[BAAN vs. Bang!]

Masashi: That BAAN is not me at all! I'm certain! This is Tai-pi's Baang.

So: How do you usually say it then?

Masashi: Just Bang! (shorter, less blunt)

Taisei: No, I said it in an earlier take!

Masashi: You did. The one you couldn't quite get right.

Taisei: When I'm doing the "Bang!", it doesn't quite sound like Jeramie. But in the end, I went with the version that gives it his all for the "Bang"

(mofu note: i rmb seeing the same comment on jp twitter. they say Gira's is バーン (katakana) and Jeramie's is Bang! (english))

[Assassination]

Masashi: The madness in Morfo's expression is incredible.

Masashi: Mari, how many times did you get hit?

Erica: At first I was supposed to get hit four times, but to sync with the others' timing, it got cut down to two times.

Aoto memo #7: "23:04 The kings have fallen?! What will happen next?!"

They filmed this scene multiple times so everyone falls at the same time.

Yuzuki: Shiokara's bat is too fast and I only have one eye, it's hard to give reaction to that.

[AFTERTALK]

Erica is surprised to find out everyone agrees on what they find interesting.

Masashi mentioned they had doubts and worries when they first received the script, but they enjoyed it a lot. The director told them that it's going to be a hard episode to film, especially for Erica, all mysteriously before handing them the script, so she felt a bit of pressure there. During table read, Kamihori was the most tense. They mixed up who speak which lines that led to lots of laughs. That in turn gave them a bit of confidence, because they were worried the comedic bits were not gonna hit.They also learn to understand a character different from their own better.

Aoto didn't discuss with Yuzuki at all how to portray Rita at all. So explained that Aoto said Yuzuki would ban his ideas if he talked to her. Yuzuki said she won't but the boys disagree. Because Aoto did what he wanted with Rita, the possibilities of Rita's character has expanded upon his interpretation as well. Same goes for other characters.
