[33max]

my favourite max lore part 2 (link to part 1)

- max weighed 3265g (7.1lb) when he was born, which means he was actually a perfectly normal sized baby despite turning into a spherical chonk a few months later

- one of max’s gamer tags is crgboy007 and he was ranked 21st in the world on FIFA Ultimate Team in January 2019, and 31st in the world in August 2018. basically - when he sets his mind to something he will become one of the best in the world.

- not really my favourite but I feel I must set the record straight!!! he passed out in malaysia 2016, and despite the fact RedBull claim otherwise, yes he did and here is the very sexy evidence 😔

- max once provided the ultimate discord burn to a driver called bradley philpot who had bashed him regularly on twitter

- speaking of discord, when team redline disconnected from the 24hrs Le Mans he went on another rant and encouraged sim racers to DELETE THE GAME 😂 let’s go baby you tell em’ (he’s right and he should say it)

- he follows some very interesting instagrams accounts including pigsareawsm, capybara.lover_life, drunkbetch, barked (dog memes), thetinderblog and many more!!!

- max promised his sister, victoria, that he would buy her a handbag when he scored his first f1 points… apparently this was the first thing he thought about when he crossed the finish line in malaysia 2015

(I’m 99% sure she confirmed it was a lv speedy 25 ?? someone help me source that!!!)

- max’s favourite cheeses are gouda, halloumi, and mozzarella… he likes young cheeses 🧀

- max recently paid €4.99 to have a sleepy cat on his discord pfp

[pearl-likes-pi]

please bullet point explain how you went from memes to dreams i am so curious

Ok basically

2015 - graduated hs, started college in Atlanta, started making SU memes

2016 - got internship/co-op at CN Games (coincidentally right by my school), kept making memes, eventually the CN social media team asked me to do freelance for them, started meeting the SU cast at cons and stuff

2017 - the year where things got crazy lol, YouTube and memes thing was pretty wild at this point and I got to start collabing with the cast. CN decided to do a Steven Universe podcast and asked me to host it and then I also interned on the show at the same time to learn about animation production. Moved to LA for the summer for that

2018 - kept doing the podcast remotely from Atlanta and YouTube and college

2019 - podcast ended, started getting really serious about voice acting and taking lessons, got a voice acting gig, got hit by a truck (lived!). Graduated college (December) and got hired for a PA job on an animated sitcom @ Titmouse starting next January in LA

2020 - moved to LA start of the year, started working as a PA, got VO agent, pandemic, worked remotely and tried not to go crazy all alone in LA, got promoted to production coordinator, pretty much stopped YouTube after SU ended

2021 - finally broke in as an assistant animatic editor on a different animated show at Titmouse (Beavis and Butt-Head lol), continued taking a lot of VO classes

2022 - promoted to assistant editor and then Animatic Editor™ on B&B, somehow managed to make the leap to animatic editing on Jentry (honestly forever gonna be grateful they were willing to take a chance on me)

2023 - now I'm animatic editing on Jentry and auditioning for VO jobs all the time as well (and occasionally even booking them, when I'm lucky lol)

I'm sorry I tried to be brief but also im bad at summarizing lol, if anything doesn't make sense lemme know. i feel so grateful so many people were willing to help me get to where I'm at so im genuinely always happy to answer any questions if my experience can help other people in the same boat!!!!!

[lexosaurus]

Lexx pray tell what is Phantom Phight Club?

OHOHOHO

I'm so glad you came to me. Let me take you on a little story of our Phandom History.

So the tl;dr is that it's a Danny Phantom shitposting tournament. There are 64 entrants who go head to head over 6 rounds. It's a stereotypical tournament style, so head to head rounds until there is just one final Phight Club Champion.

The history of this epic tournament is that in 2018, @ectopusses and @raycr0ak (formally rayhoosier) challenged me to an epic phight behind the Denny's. We trash talked for a while before @dannyphandump (aka Tali) started a Betting Booth on me vs ectopusses, which was then coined as an official phight.

After the idea gained popularity, Tali made a post to see if people wanted to set up a genuine, Hunger Games style shitpost tournament. @catalystofthesoul then set up how the tournament would work, and Tali and Vic (@babypop-phantom) then worked to bring it all together for January 2019.

2019 came with the FIRST Phight Club. @reallydumbdannyphantomaus won, @heyheyitsstillgay came in second, and I came in third.

Here are some amazing examples of the hilarity to come out of this event.

An incredible Danny outfit change by @heyheyitsstillgay

A Conlang Ghost Speak I made in one day

Danny reveals himself via snapchat by @punkhalfghosts

Danny cooks an egg by @reallydumbdannyphantomaus

2020 came next, and it was another slam dunk year. @ecto-american won, @auroraphantasma came in second, and @grimgrinningghoul came in third.

2020 also had some fantastic content:

A Clockwork Animation by @auroraphantasma

This Fenton Washer/Dryer Infomercial by @half-dead-half-wit

The time Danny convinced everyone he was being kinned by @grimgrinningghoul

When Vlad revealed himself by becoming Butch Hartman by @lumanae

So then 2021 came, and unfortunately both Tali and Vic needed a break. The events were always massive and involved essentially two full months of festivities, including art making, ghostsonas, oneshots showcasing epic battles, fake jobs and fake workdays, and more. Then 2022 came and went with no phight club even mentioned.

At this point, many of us just assumed that Phight Club was a thing of the past. A fun little thing we participated in for a few years that had stayed in that era of the phandom along with the famous Apocalypses and other meme-y events.

Well that was, until Last Night where Vic mysteriously posted this ominous flickering Denny's sign, the first peep this blog has had in the past few years.

Then shortly after, they changed their header to say this.

So is a Phight Club 2023 in the works?

Are we going to get an epic reunion?

Well, let's find out.

[reyggtv]

There's only so much I can say on Twitter to truly express my feelings about the show Hilda, and how much of an impact it has left on me to make me the kind of person I am today, so I'm taking to Tumblr to write all about it.

If you don't know who I am already, hi, I am ReyGGTV, though you can just call me Rey. I like to make YouTube videos, memes, talk with other Hilda fans, and make occasionally make art. You may already know me from the Hilda Crack videos I made since several years ago, as well as some more recent big videos of mine like my comparison video between Aster and Hilda. I am 20 years old, and have been a diehard fan of the franchise ever since I was just 14.

Firstly, let's discuss how I actually managed to discover Hilda in the first place. It was 2018, freshman year of high school had just started, during this time, I was still big fan of another animated TV show at the time called Star vs. The Forces of Evil. I was a fan of that show ever since its premiere in January of 2015 when I was only 11 years old. Honestly even if I don't look at it nearly as fondly as I do now, to its credit, the show did most certainly help me get interested into animation as a whole more than any other show I saw at the time.

Not even like 2 months after I got in though, I was kicked out. Not because I did anything wrong, but because for a while, my parents had me enrolled in a school district that I didn't even live anywhere near in at the time, so once they found out that I actually lived much farther from them, that's when they decided to let me go. This was devastating to me, all the friends I made in middle school, were suddenly going to go away, and it was only at the very last minute, at the principal's office that I received this news. I was upset, literally everything was going great and they just wanted to throw everything away for me, in favor for me going to a school that was so bad, it caused my family to move to an entirely new city with a better school by the time Sophomore year came around.

But anyways, about 2 weeks before all this happened, I was in a cartoon Discord server, where someone recommended me to watch this show called... you guessed it, Hilda. I took a lot at the promotional material for a while, and put it at the back of my head, not knowing that I would soon revisit it not long later. Fast forward to when I was out of school, I had like 2 weeks in the beginning of October to just cope with everything. It wasn't long that I just became bored, and wanted to do something better, so I pulled up Netflix wanting to find something new to watch. The suggestion from someone about Hilda just so happened to come up on my mind, so I was like "Eh, sure, why not?". I put it on, and the rest was history. I knew from the very moment I finished watching the intro for the very first time, that this was about to be the show of a lifetime for me.

Despite that however, I did not anticipate just how much impact Hilda would leave on the work that I am now doing nearly 6 years after that very faithful day.

I guess the biggest reason why the show left such a massive impact on me right from the beginning is because of its main title character, Hilda. Look, I may be no blue-haired adventurer from the wilderness that likes to munch on cucumber sandwiches all the time, but Hilda at the time for me, was the most relatable character and the character I found the most comfort in when watching it for the first time. Just like me, Hilda too, was also forced to move away from the place and friends she was always happy to be with, despite all her efforts, all it took was one giant, to come and crush it all, leaving her forced to live a new life in a new environment she was not familiar with at all. But, she moved on. She knew that while this was not the ideal way for things go out, life always comes with surprises. But maybe, just maybe, this could be something that could work out in her favor. This whole becoming friends with other humans and living in the big dirty ol' city, could be the best decision she has ever made. And I think it goes without saying that as the series continued, it was.

This was a message that I desperately needed to hear as I was going through overwhelming times at such a young age, and one that I was so happy to hear and watch once I finally finished the first two episodes of this amazing damn show. It showed me that if an 11-year-old girl from the wilderness can be brave enough to move into the big city, be okay and make the best out of it, maybe I too, will be okay with belonging to a new school, finding new friends, and creating new passions for me to follow for years to come. Hilda inspired me to look towards a bigger and brighter future, rather than doubt the bad that comes with the present. For that, I am forever grateful for the creative and writing team of this show, for helping me go through such a difficult time in my life, and convincing me that even despite all that has happened, there will always be something better to look forward to.

I would be lying if I said that this was the only reason as to why I ended up becoming such a huge fan of the show for the next 5 years. Asides from the writing being so good it literally cured my depression. The animation, worldbuilding, and characters were just unlike anything I have ever seen with my own two eyes. It was simple, yet jaw dropping at the same time. Just a silly kid either helping a Raven jog back his memory, try and fight nightmare spirits or ghosts, or help Jellybean out of a scary situation in which everyone wrongfully accuses him of being a big scary black hound. Even if certain episodes of season 1 didn't always turn out perfect, I would always rewatch every single one of them all day for several hours and for several weeks. I had even skipped multiple days of school especially when it was raining, just so I can head to the living room, cuddle up in some warm blankets, with the heater on during the winter season, and just binge the crap out of it for multiple hours a day. This was just the show that I can always count on to bring back the happiness inside of me. Even when I wasn't necessarily having a bad day, I would still continue to watch it for hours because it just kept on getting better and better with every watch I could get possible, it was almost like an addiction almost, haha.

Hilda was the show for me, and I had no intention of trying to watch anything else.

It was also around this time that I started to also get myself more involved with the show's fandom as well, back when it was a lot more populated and not as niche as it is now. While I'm not gonna say that my reputation in it has always been 100% perfect, at the end of the day, I'm just forever grateful I was able to meet some of the most wonderful people and hundreds of fans like myself because of it like @hkthatgffan, @helgafolk618, and many more I can't list here 'cause most of them are not on Tumblr. So much so that I now have the pleasure of creating hundreds, if not thousands of people who are fans/supporters of ME all across all my social media pages. All because I like to talk about Hilda, literally all the time. And to those reading this who has ever left a nice comment on one of my posts, said hi to me on my Discord server, worked with me on a commission, even went as far as to make fan-art of me or just tuned into any of my content whatsoever, thank you. Your support has left a massive impact on me and what I'm continuing to do now. Because at the end of the day, it's not about any popularity points you get from just talking about a TV show consistently for 6 years, for me at least, it has always been about making thousands, sometimes, even millions, happy with my love for it that is the reason that I'm doing any of this in the first place. I love Hilda, always have, and I want to make people happy the same way Hilda did for me, all those years ago.

Surprisingly enough, even though I was already as big of a fan as I could possibly be by the time November of 2018 rolled around, I still wasn't really a guy interested in getting my hands on Hilda merchandise. I knew that the graphic novels by Luke existed, but the only thing I even managed to get for myself at the time was this old T-shirt I bought from the now defunct official Zazzle store they had up for like a few months lol

I guess that all changed when I got my first ever Hilda plush though when I was 15. While it has now certainly showed its age after nearly 5 years, I loved this thing so much lol. It wasn't official because official Hilda plushies didn't exist at the time. I bought it off an Etsy store from AngelinaLily, and I would literally take this thing out with me everyday to everywhere I went to and take photos of it, especially in the wilderness. It was my favorite pastime. My little Hilda, in the palm of my hand 😆. Hey, when you have to wait more than 2 whole years for a brand-new season, what else are you gonna do to entertain yourself during the hiatus?

I had gotten this in the mail right when I had just exited out the mental hospital because I was actively wanting to h*rt myself and potentially putting myself in danger of committing s*icide. Because while Hilda did definitely help me cope with a lot that I was going through at the time, there was still a lot of overwhelming issues I was experiencing, and my mental health was the lowest that it had ever been. This plush effectively, was a way to help me cope with those thoughts I had, which turned out to be a great thing because I literally couldn't be happier with it.

After that, I just decided that "You know what? What if I just got... ALL of the Hilda merchandise?" Thus... that now leading to my massive hoard of Hilda stuff, that I now have everywhere in my room lol

These photos aren't even all the ones I have!

At 16, I decided to write Luke Pearson an e-mail, thanking him for his work and how much it has inspired me to become the person I am now, explaining everything that I just mentioned in this Tumblr post, and at the end of the day, just wanting him to know, that his creations mean a grave big deal to me, and that I will always appreciate just how much of a positive impact it has left me. I didn't really expect anything to come out of it, but about several weeks later, he said this to me lol

"I just wanted to say thank you for writing and relaying your experience to me. I'm sorry to hear that you've been through such difficult times, but I'm glad that you're able to look back on those times and find yourself in a better place. And if Hilda has played any small part in that, which it seems like it has, then I'm extremely pleased about that and it warms me to hear it. It can be hard to know exactly what good a cartoon can actually do for the world (beyond being a few hours of amusement) which is strange when so many people devote so much of their time and creative energy into making it happen. But hearing something like this goes a long way to making it feel like something genuinely worthwhile. I hope things continue to look up for you and hope you're taking care in these trying times." - All the best, Luke

When I tell you I cried like a baby when I first received this e-mail from him, I really did, lol. Hearing this, from the man who made it all possible, was truly the most inspirational thing I could have ever heard. And I was happy, that he was happy, that I was truly able to tell him for the first time, just how much his creation has meant to not just me, but to soooo many fans just like myself. It was truly something to never forget.

Now I'm 20 years old, still talking about the same ol' dang kids show I fell in love with all those years ago. What's happening now? Well now, I am an aspiring film director and video editor who has been taking film classes in community college for the past like 2 years now, I should've graduated already by now but turns out, college is pretty fricking expensive, and I don't even know if I have the funds to try and even graduate by next year. Asides from that though, I am actually in the works of creating my first ever feature-length Hilda fan-film called The Ultimate Hilda Iceberg. It will basically be one of those iceberg explanation videos you see on YouTube, but with the original source of the iceberg being about Hilda, specifically a version someone made on the r/HildaTheSeries subreddit. I've had the idea for this Iceberg video/fan-film as far back as January 2021, with the current script having started work as far back as nearly 9 months ago. And it's still not even finished! Me, as well as tens of dozens of other Hilda fans like myself, are actively working on it to have it be ready by the time fall of this year comes around, right now as we speak! If you want to support and/or follow this massive project as more updates come around you can either follow the official accounts on Twitter/X (@/HildaIceberg) or on Instagram (@/theultimatehildaiceberg).

Asides from that, the biggest passion project I have for my career moving forward, is directing my own big-budget Hilda movie. Specifically, a live-action Hilda movie. Now now, BEFORE you try and cancel me and tell me that this is the stupidest idea of all time and could taint Hilda's image forever. Let me cook. I am a huge movie bluff, I know which live action remakes are genuinely amazing, and which ones just really suck. My vision for a live-action Hilda movie is to make it sorta like how Who Framed Roger Rabbit was. All of the human characters and outside settings are done with real people and practical assets, whilst creatures like Trolls, Elves, or stuff that would normally be done with CGI, be actually turned into 2D-animation, ideally in the same style as that of the Netflix show. Ideally, I also want it to remain as faithful to at least how the show was as possible in terms of story. Look, if there's gonna be anyone else who knows their Hilda best asides from people like Luke or Andy Coyle, it's gonna be me, just sayin.

In conclusion, I just want to wrap this up by giving a huge shout out to people like @littledigits and literally ANYONE who has ever done any time making this fantastic and wonderful show (I couldn't think of anyone else to tag so I only tagged you Meg so sorry if that bothers you 😅). As this post has indicated several times, this show, has really made the best kind of impact in my life and I'm forever grateful to the creator Luke, the directors Andy Coyle, Megan, etc, the voice actors, artists, editors, composers, everyone who has ever had a part in making this amazing show just, please let me hug you. While I may not have been as enthusiastic with the show's third season overall as I wanted to in my opinion, Hilda will always have a soft spot in my heart, for years and years to come, for just how much it truly inspired me, to not just not only being able to have the luxury to do the things I love to do now, but do so in a way that has made, and hopefully will continue to make thousands, hundreds of thousands if not millions of people happy, because of the love that I will continue to have for this very show. Just because a show is small, doesn't mean it can't leave big enough impacts on people for the better ❤️

[nothoughtsonlytrance]

Okay so I came across this meme and it made me laugh because this is literally how I am when it comes to Dan and Phil lore/trivia! Like if you were to ask me which years they went on tour (TABINOF 2016; II 2018, WAD 2022) or when they started their BBC Radio 1 Show, (January, 2013) I’d tell you immediately, but if you were to ask me in which specific video they said an iconic quote from, or what items they brought back from their Japan trips, I would NOT be able to tell you off the top of my head. 😭😂😅

If you look at leftist political means on social media, most of what they say is abstract. Thus, they’ll preach “love” in one post while, in another, they gloat over Trump almost being assassinated or they’ll celebrate Kamala’s alleged “joy.” Occasionally, though, they get down to brass tacks—or at least, that’s what they think they’re doing. Nnothing demonstrates that better than a post about the Dow Jones under Trump versus the Dow under Biden. The post, seemingly factual on its face, is actually quite dishonest.

Internet meme; creator unknown.

It’s true that, on March 20, 2020, the Dow Jones closed at a low of 19,173. However, even the BBC admitted that this low number was because the COVID lockdowns crashed into Trump’s previously roaring economy:

The Dow Jones Industrial Average of 30 major American companies fell more than 4.5% on Friday, erasing all the gains it had made since Donald Trump became president in January 2017. The drop helped to finish the worst week on Wall Street since 2008, with all three indexes down at least 12%. The falls come as authorities tighten restrictions on activity in an effort to slow the spread of the coronavirus. [snip] The Dow lost more than 900 points to close at 19,173, while the wider S&P 500 dropped 4.3% to 2,304 and the Nasdaq lost 3.8% to 6,879.5.

Before the leftists weaponized COVID and George Floyd’s self-induced death, the Dow Jones average was surging under Trump. Beginning in August 2018, after Trump’s tax cuts and tariffs began to take effect, we had a phenomenal bull market in America, reflecting real optimism and innovation. No wonder Democrats needed something to stop that momentum, which would have swept Trump into an easy 2020 victory.

Personality: Y/n is the emotional glue of the Hughes family. She’s resilient, nurturing, and always looks out for her brothers. Despite battling depression and working through it with therapy, she maintains a positive and tough exterior, especially when it comes to protecting Luke. She’s also independent, an international popstar.

Living Situation: Lives with Jack and Luke in New Jersey but frequently visits Quinn in Vancouver (often flown out by him).

Fun Fact: She embodies the "Rosa Diaz with a puppy" meme when it comes to protecting Luke.

Personality: Quiet, thoughtful, and responsible, Nico is the level-headed captain of the Devils. He and Y/n have a close connection, especially after spending a lot of time together during quarantine in 2020. Nico harbors feelings for Y/n, but he’s held back by the unspoken (and spoken!) rule Jack and Quinn have made to keep her off-limits.

Jack Hughes

Position: Defenseman | Shoots: Left

Height: 6'2" (188 cm)

NHL Debut: 2023 | Drafted: 4th overall by the New Jersey Devils in 2021

Personality: Luke is more laid-back compared to his older brothers but still shares their protective instincts.

NHL Debut: 2019 | Drafted: 7th overall by the Vancouver Canucks in 2018

Captaincy: Named captain of the Canucks on September 11, 2023

Personality: Quinn is the eldest Hughes sibling and takes the role of protector seriously. He’s closest to Y/n, calling her "Squirt," and is always looking out for her from afar. Quinn has been known to physically and emotionally defend Y/n, ensuring that no one messes with his little sister.

Trevor Zegras

Birthday: March 20, 2001

Jayden Williamson (OC)

Birthday: February 12, 2000

Y/n’s Ex

Personality: Jayden is universally hated by the entire Hughes family for cheating on Y/n, causing her to move to New Jersey. Even Trevor, Y/n's best friend, dislikes him. His betrayal was a significant emotional blow to Y/n, which makes her brothers—especially Quinn—despise him even more.

Brian Stelter at The New Republic:

The crackdown could begin with a security breach at the Northwest Gate of the White House.

Imagine, on the day of Donald Trump’s inauguration, a raucous protest by left-wing groups on the streets north of Lafayette Park. The blocks surrounding the White House are cordoned off with layer after layer of fencing, due to the unrest in major cities following Trump’s reelection, but a few dozen very motivated activists barrel through the park, all the way across the inauguration parade route along the park’s southern edge, and inside the White House perimeter. Weapons are drawn, emergency plans are activated, and Trump is rushed to a deep underground bunker. Order is restored within minutes, but not before the break-in is shown live around the world, since all the major networks have live camera positions on the North Lawn. Online sleuths notice that a few of the protesters appear to be wearing press credentials. (They’re fakes, it turns out.) And in one stray live shot that gets clipped and decontextualized and shared all across pro-MAGA social media, a CBS correspondent gives a water bottle to a man screaming in agony after being pepper-sprayed. That’s all it takes for a narrative to take root on the right: “The media is complicit. They’re in on it. THEY are trying to assassinate OUR president.”

Trump feels humiliated and attacked on what is supposed to be his most triumphant day. He and his aides want what he famously promised: “Retribution.” Knowing that the Northwest Gate is a key access point for journalists, a White House aide starts a rumor that the assailants were aided by CNN and CBS News crews. Trump, who is glued to the live coverage, grunts to his chief of staff, “Get them off my lawn.” Members of his inner circle, so fed up with years of accountability journalism, and so deluded into thinking that Trump’s way is the only way, see a chance to go further and squeeze independent media off the airwaves. “Get out,” they say. “Get out of our way.”

The security breach becomes a pretext for a project that’s been on the minds of MAGA leaders for years. After all, Steve Bannon’s 2018 promise to “flood the zone with shit” was just the beginning. Trump’s “enemy of the people” proclamation gave permission to his fans to go further—to delegitimize and dehumanize journalists and make “alternative facts” the only facts. For the coup plotters of 2020, one lesson of Trump’s loss was that Trump needed to exert more control over the media in order to prevail. He needed to own the media; ergo, Truth Social, which emerged in the aftermath of January 6. The far right’s memory-holing of the attack, minimization of the violence, and rebranding of rioters as “hostages” were successful tests of MAGA media’s reality-rewriting capabilities.

Trump’s violent rhetoric emboldened his devotees. During the Biden years, pro-Trump trolls daydreamed that, once back in power, they would imprison journalists and crush opponents, and they were welcomed to say so on Elon Musk’s X. As an ex-CNN anchor, I saw it in my mentions when MAGA diehards fantasized about having me locked up at Guantánamo Bay: “Gitmo is in your future.” “You filthy nazi traitor demokkkrats belong in GITMO.” “All of you deserve to be jailed.” Anonymous threats were accompanied by brash promises by Trump loyalists. “We will go out and find the conspirators not just in government, but in the media,” former Defense Department official Kash Patel told Bannon in 2023. “We’re going to come after you,” Patel proclaimed, “whether it’s criminally or civilly.” Bannon, overjoyed, said, “We’re absolutely dead serious.”

Imagine that the new administration uses the Northwest Gate incursion as a pretext to impose severe restrictions. Most reporters are banned from entering the White House grounds, per new Secret Service rules that cite threats to the president’s life. As Truth Social fills up with memes equating journalists with “terrorists,” networks are given 24 hours to remove their equipment. Aides claim that reporters will be able to ask questions via Zoom at virtual press conferences, but Trump refused to hold daily briefings during his first term in office, and the Zoom sessions never materialize. Media outlets file First Amendment lawsuits seeking a return to pre–Trump II norms, but the government’s claims about security threats take precedence, and the bans remain in place. Press corps norms—like traveling with the president—melt away. Trump begins to take trips without any notice to the public at all. Several reporters who resort to staking out Andrews Air Force Base and watching for Air Force One takeoffs are arrested for trespassing.

Fox and Newsmax are allowed on the White House grounds, so officials can claim that “real” news is still represented. Fox says it will provide the other networks with live video of all presidential events and remarks. While workers revert the former press briefing room to the indoor pool it was decades ago, Trump rewards Fox with interviews and promotions—at one point doubling the Murdoch family’s market cap in a matter of weeks—and even the hosts who are most tempted to dissent are kept in check by the sudden windfall. And they know that, for the MAGA faithful, Newsmax is always one remote click away; they learned that the hard way in 2020. So they toe the line, touting specious rumors about enemies within, about writers feeding “resistance” tips to foreign governments, about liberal editors doctoring photos of Trump to make him look even older than he really is, about treasonous reporters aiding the protesters on Inauguration Day. “Remember when THEY tried to kill Trump?” becomes a rallying cry on the right, even though it didn’t happen.

Fact-checks about what did happen only embolden Trump’s fans to fight harder for punishment of the imagined co-conspirators. CBS says the doxing of its phone and computer networks becomes so intense that the newsroom can barely function for hours at a time. One night, the evening newscast starts 10 minutes late due to server glitches. A Trump spokesman is quoted calling this a “good start,” meaning the country would be better off with no evening newscast at all. Two days later, in a “swatting” incident, a caller to 911 claims there is a violent intruder inside the home of a top CBS anchor. Police arrive en masse, and, amid the chaos, an officer accidentally shoots the anchor’s wife, seriously injuring her. The same MAGA-heads on social media downplay the violence by digging up the victim’s past tweets praising Hillary Clinton; some even parrot the Trump spokesman and call the injury “a good start.”

Inspired by Trump’s words in the bunker on Inauguration Day, “get out” becomes shorthand for a groundswell of anti-media sentiment, mirroring the Trump administration’s militarized mass deportations of migrants. “If you journalists don’t love our America,” they say, “get out.” At the federal level, Trump appointees pull the levers of government to implement the president’s wishes. IRS agents commence audits of top newsroom editors. (The editors find that it’s almost impossible to prove the audits are retaliatory.) DOJ attorneys consider Espionage Act charges against adversarial reporters. FCC commissioners open probes into the conduct of broadcast station owners who don’t follow the Trump line. Republican lawmakers, themselves intimidated by the voters who are calling reporters “terrorists,” prepare a media accreditation law that would reward outlets that maintain close ties to the government. Third-party groups flood the courts with libel lawsuits against news outlets. Judges will eventually throw out most of the suits, but each case costs time and money to fight, and the twofold intent is to make the newsrooms bleed out financially, and to frighten others from pursuing the same types of stories.

Brian Stelter wrote in The New Republic as part of its American Fascism series that the freedom of the press could be severely curtailed if Donald Trump gets elected again.

𝑴𝒖𝒏 𝒅𝒂𝒔𝒉 𝒈𝒂𝒎𝒆

NAME? Nori

PRONOUNS? She/ her but not picky tbh

MOST ACTIVE MUSE(S)? This is my only blog, so just Vigor with occasional Cain-Brain <3

RP PET PEEVES? I always say accessibility for rules and bios, but it is always relevant and the only thing I feel kind of strongly about.

EXPERIENCE / HOW MANY YEARS? I started at about ten years old, but my time roleplaying has been sporadic to say the least. I haven't been on the rpc long term since 2018. That being said, I've been writing Vigor since January 2016 x

FLUFF, ANGST, OR SMUT? Angst, shortly followed by fluff. Gotta make it hurt to really make the cute shit count. As for smut, I write it when the mood strikes, and because I find those intimate moments very revealing about a muse and their partner's dynamic. However, I only find the foreplay particularly fun and need to just fade-to-black more. Writing smut is a fun challenge, but not my favourite by far.

PLOTS OR MEMES Memes as icebreakers to discover chemistry and dynamic, or inspired by plotting. Having a plot makes writing so much easier. While I try to balance out my focus between plotted and non-plotted, I will often write the plotted stuff first to get through drafts faster, helping me focus even when muse runs low !!

LONG OR SHORT REPLIES? I like to write at least a paragraph. I like the idea of banter, but need to add actions and reactions, otherwise it feels off. Overall, reply length just depends on the thread!

TIME TO WRITE? I'm a shift worker who works Tuesday-Saturday. I'm most active on Mondays or during the week when I have a night shift. My activity fluctuates depending on my muse, but also because I have two very needy cats, and a partner who I love dearly ♡ Also, I am not writing at work, unlike some of you lucky bastards 😭

ARE YOU LIKE YOUR MUSE(S) Cain? Absolutely not, apart from a little detail in his backstory. Vigor and I are both big believers in hope and there being a lot of goodness in the world, even if Vigor doesn't believe that goodness resides in him. We have very different upbringings, but I like to draw on what experience I have to add little details (hypervigilance, anxiety, etc.) Also, we're both lefties <3

[because-she-goes]

inside your mind

warnings: mentions of addiction/matty’s sobriety, don’t think theres anything else. Enjoy!

Pre-Dating

Matty takes flights to New York nearly every month to see Nora and go on little dates, even if it is for a weekend

Matty and Derek hate each other from minute one of meeting, Matty doesn’t even try to be subtle about wanting to steal Nora

Nora takes flights to London “for work trips” when really she is just going to spend a week with Matty

They call each other Handsome and Honey very early on and that's how they have each other saved in their phones (they still have it like that into married life)

Matty sends Nora demos of the band’s new music for her opinion and to see what she likes/doesn’t like

They make playlists and CDs for each other all the time and listen to them when they’re apart

Matty doesn’t shut up about Nora around the guys, infact Hann loves hearing about her since he is a big fan of her work

Nora is more quiet to her friends about Matty, not wanting them to get the wrong ideas about him

They text constantly, always sending memes or jokes back and forth regardless of the time difference. They call late at night, almost always ending with them falling asleep on the phone.

Matty counts down the days until Derek is out of the picture and he can finally feel no guilt about making his move, Nora counts down the days until she can be back in his arms

Dating

They can’t keep their hands off each other, always holding hands or putting hands in pockets. Matty’s love language is physical touch, Nora’s is quality time

While on tour, they send postcards to each other or love letters basically - liking the tangibleness of it and that they can save them for years

Nora becomes good friends with Hann out of the group and he is the one she checks in with about how Matty is actually doing

Matty meets Nora’s parents and her mom can tell from that first meeting that he wants to marry Nora

Nora’s dad loves Matty and they talk a lot about music and writers they love

Matty, without telling Nora obviously, takes a flight to New York in October 2018 and drives right to her parents house. He is a bit nervous, he asks them to sit down and they have lunch together. He asks them if he can have their blessing to marry Nora, they could not be happier and obviously say yes

He then hugs them, thanks them and finishes lunch with them - beaming about Nora and how wonderful of a person they raised

He then goes to the nearest Tiffany and Co because he has been waiting to do this since he first met Nora, not wanting to put it off any longer. He asks the sales representative to look at the colored diamond rings - he remembers the not so subtle hint Nora gave ages ago about loving the look of yellow diamonds

He ends up getting a 3 carat yellow diamond Soleste style ring. Also, as a treat to himself he does buy what is apparently called a silver sixteen stone ring.

Engaged

Matty flies home, still never telling Nora he was even in America. He nervously checks his luggage before and after the flight to make absolutely certain he didn’t lose the ring in travel. A deep sigh of relief leaves his body when he sees both ring boxes safely tucked between his jeans.

In January 2019, she became an engaged woman

Matty had known he wanted to marry Nora years before rehab, but being so introspective and taking inventory of his life and the people in it, the only person he could really relate to and talk to about addiction was Nora. They spent many late nights helping each other through the urges and struggles of recovery

Once he was clean though, he didn’t want to do anything else. Wanted a clean start and a new beginning. He proposed to Nora January 14th, 2019 - exactly a month before valentines day

The proposal felt like a dream, he had taken Nora to Las Vegas - to the very casino they met. He had gotten her there by saying Jamie wanted him to look at a venue or two in the area for the upcoming tour

They got the venue scouting done early in the trip and on their last night went to their reservation at Spago, Nora’s favorite restaurant in the world. They were dressed to the nines, Matty had his ring on and just told Nora he picked it up as a sobriety present for himself. She loved it - the act of self-pride and also the actual ring itself

Nora wore a stunning navy satin dress with a slit up one thigh and Matty had on a gray pair of trousers, white top showing his tattoos a bit and black blazer. They were a beautiful couple - anyone with eyes could see that

They ate their food (pizza for Nora, pasta for Matty) and the engagement ring box pressed into Matty’s leg as he sat. His leg bounced nervously under the table as the time grew closer. He had planned to propose right before the fountains of the Bellagio went off. Finishing her food and waiters clearing their entrees, he exhaled

He got down on a knee in front of her, enveloping her hands in his. His ring gleemed in the light. “Matty, what are you doing? Did you drop something?” “No, baby… I have wanted to ask you this every second since I first saw those eyes…. *an exhale* Nora Downey, would you do me the extraordinary honor of being mine forever? Of being my wife?” He opens the ring box and reveals the most beautiful yellow diamond she has ever seen

Nora’s jaw dropped as a tear rolled down her cheek. Taking his face in her hands and leaning down to be face-to-face with him, she gives a quick nod and kisses him. The fountains go off behind her and it is like something out of a movie. The servers come back with champagne and the song being played is “June in January” by Frank Sinatra. Luckily, one of the waiters had snapped a picture of them and sent it to Matty later in the evening

The two share a look, a kiss and a laugh. They both separately hope to do that for the rest of their lives

The rest of the night is spent giggling, admiring each other’s rings and how beautiful they were together

Matty kissed her ring and back of her hand repeatedly throughout the desert course, mumbling a “forever mine” here and there

They drink their glasses of champagne and are permitted to take the rest of the bottle out with them. They walk along the strip sharing a cigarette and taking swigs of the champagne while admiring the fountain. Kissing each other’s hands, necks - really any bit of skin they can in public

As Nora falls asleep that night she thinks this must be heaven

#Onthisday: Sept 16th, 2018

Title: Gundam Narrative Pose - FAILED

When Sunrise (now known as "Bandai Namco Filmworks") release the newest Gundam OVA called "Mobile Suit Gundam Narrative", I'm really excited to see more Mobile Suit appearances on the big screen, which will be set release on this year's November. And I did, back in January 18th, 2019 with my friend [CLICK ME]. 🎫🤖😁

Aside from that, there's one strange yet a mocking-like reference pose from the three main characters that straight out from the other movies that they're trying to inspired but now it converts into a meme (which is already expired, as far as I know). It quickly spawns over a thousand of fans including gundam fanatics are trying to make a awkward pose, heck they even a gunpla version and some other figures from the anime franchise. And not only peoples and figures are in, but also fanarts from other anime series, animals, anthros and of course the Gundams are joined in the mixed, too.

And yes, did I mentioned I make this art, too? When Cude and the Speedster Twins trying mimicking the three Gundam Narractive character pose - as a result, well... A bit failed despite their heads are too big but close enough, right? 🤷‍♀️

Cude 🐰🤖: This is unconfrontable, guys. 😣

Spot 🐶🏎️: Do we REALLY need to do this? 😖

Riya 🐰🏎️: I don't know, but our bodies are hurting! We're in the pretzel situation now! Damn, who's idea is this? 😫

Cude's Haro 🟢🤖: Haro, haro... Don't look at me! Haro... 😕

*facepalm* 🤦‍♂️Ahhh, Sunrise... Can you PLEASE explaining that in public!? But nevertheless, it's already a Gundam history, we'll treasure this meme pose forever and... Thanks... *clapped* 👏

[trubbishrubbish]

I’m going to come clean about something that has been nagging me for a really long time.

I created this blog on Jan 30th, (don’t ask why I make an anniversary post on the 31st) so that day is indeed the  anniversary of my blog, but it’s not the anniversary for when I met Genocide Jack and fell in love with her. I wanted to find out what day I first declared I loved this serial killer. So I went down a little rabbit hole of old posts and messages made by me.

Note: This is going to be a very long rambly mess.

As explained in this post of how I first discovered Danganronpa, I first watched a playthrough of the games in 2018 but I did not mention a specific day in 2018, I forgot what day it was. I knew it was somewhere in November-December but that’s it. I didn’t exactly write down my thoughts on the game while watching so I have no idea when I watched each game, and I assumed I never will.

However, I decided to dive into my old Game Diary blog and found that I did make a few posts about Danganronpa! Just barely enough information to make a timeline.

So this is when I finished watching DR1. November 30th. 4 days later, I made this post and I found this discord message of mine.

In those 4 days, I finished watching DR2. And the character I was hinting at was Byakuya (ugh) I still remember what profile pic I used. (Barf)

And then, 4 days later again...

I finished watching V3.

And then many days later, I made my cursed top ten favorite Danganronpa characters. (Don’t try to find it. It’s so cringe)

Why did I wait so long to make this top ten?

Genocide Jack was still in my mind but I didn’t realize yet she was the one. I still thought Byakuya was my fav. But... What about Ultra Despair Girls? That is the one game I have not seen up until this point.

I don’t really remember how I came aware of UDG and the fact that Jack is back in it and is playable. But sometime in December, I knew I didn’t want to just watch a playthrough of UDG. I wanted to buy it. So I went to Gamestop, saw that UDG was available on the shelf, I picked it up... And I didn’t buy it. I went home and watched a entire video that summarized the whole game’s plot. I have no idea WHY I DID THAT. I spoiled the whole game for me when I could have played it blind lol. But this is nothing new for me. Before I actually watched the playthrough of DR1, I watched the youtuber’s closing thoughts about the game first and was spoiled of the big twist about the outside world. Lol.

Anyway, this is when I actually first played UDG.

This is when I finished playing UDG.

And on this same post I made said this.

So, I was really really into Genocide Jack at this point. Like, I think I was debating which character I liked more, Jack or Byakuya, and Jack (THANKFULLY) was becoming more prominent in my mind.

And hey! January 27th! 3 days from when I made this blog. But I must have made an announcement about how I was going to make a new, fandom blog right?

I did and EEEEUGHHHHH. What is wrong with past me? I was still acting like I liked him? I was in the middle of playing UDG and freaking out about seeing Genocide Jack and switching to her. I can’t find a true post about when I said I loved Genocide Jack. I even tried to look on my old reddit account but I didn’t find any answers.

I made this post about UDG on Jan 4th and gushed about Genocide Jack.

But I made a cringe meme with Byakuya in it on the 21st so I have no idea what side my brain is on.

There is this post tho.

It’s cringe. Some trend on the sub at the time where people used this template and paltered a character they liked. I remember that I wanted to make this but I was caught between either Jack or Byakuya and for some reason I was having a hard time deciding. So I used a coin flip and the results of that led me to using Jack. I used to look back on this post before and wonder if this when I shifted everything in my thinking.

Two days later, I made this rather silly (and really lewd) sprite rating post and commissioned a Genocide Jack icon. (The same one for the game blog lol)

And then I made this blog and only talked about Genocide Jack from here on out?

So was it that really that reddit post that finally made me stop caring about Byakuya and only care about Jack? Maybe but I don’t want it to be that because I would hate that the reason why I love Genocide Jack was based on a coin flip and that would further make me think that if the coin resulted in Byakuya, I would still like him. That’s a terrible thing. Also that reddit meme is shitty. I’m not giving credit for changing my life to a reddit meme.

So, with this trip down memory lane, what did we learn? Well, I was stupid for thinking I liked Byakuya. I really getting sick of having to type this past fact about me. Like, I really really want to just throw up at the thought of me, giving a positive thought to that rich bastard. I don’t even care if people who like Byakuya are reading this. Fuck him. He’s awful.

What I do know is I have reaffirmed why I celebrate the creation of my blog as the first time I love Genocide Jack. This blog was a fresh new start for a new identity of me. Leaving behind a version of me that wasn’t bad per say, but just not fulfilling enough, no motivation to create art and improve my skills, no groups I could join in and find people that would be life long friends, no single character that is a comfort for me, that makes me feel happy, safe, and warm. That version of me, If I kept living life without Genocide Jack, I don’t think I would be as happy as I am today. Genocide Jack is so important to me. She is my everything. I owe her so much. I love her so much.

So... Going back to why I made this post in the first place, I don’t need an specific date for when I first loved Genocide Jack. That date isn’t important. It’s just a point of time. Genocide Jack is more important than that. All I know is that there was a time before I loved Genocide Jack and me currently loving Genocide Jack. I am still currently loving Genocide Jack. For how long exactly? Again, doesn’t matter. My blog is 4 years old now. But my love for Genocide Jack stick by for as long as I can.

Thank you for reading. And thank you, Genocide Jack. Genocider Syo.  Genocide Jill. Genocider Sho.
