WARNING: Never do laundry on New Year's Day. An old superstition holds that doing so is "washing for the dead" — meaning you could be washing the funeral clothes of a loved one who'll die within the year. Best not to risk it. (Besides, it's an excuse not to do chores hungover.) 🍾 🥂

...man, i hate squawking in the text field, but the tags cannot contain me on this
ok so i’m a normal amount of normal about this. absolutely.
however...
i am also unattended and so my actions will prove why that is probably not great.
anyway, i love monikers, nom de plumes, sobriquets, y’know, pseudonyms if you will, code names even. 8D y’wanna know how I came up with them??????//?
okay okay okay, so! I will (until someone comes for me, but no one will ‘cuz y’all are cowards, I say, knowing my childhood nostalgia is doing a lot of the heavy lifting in my affection for Next Mutation but also i love camp) acknowledge and self-impose the title of Next Mutation trash lover as a disclaimer for why I’m gonna do another quick run down of Venus’ origin again. but a quick skim because a bitch is losing against her insomnia demon rn.
now, a lot of the kids know that Venus = magic, in general. however, at least to me, intentionally or not Venus was more portrayed like a daoist... ‘magician’ of sorts, but less in a real world daoist sense and more of a cultivator in the xianxia genre sort of way. granted she wears the taijitu (yin yang symbol) and literally showed the boys her box of herbal medicine (and one dessicated vampire heart lololol). and now that I mentioned all of that, I can segue into why I gave her “White Snake” as a code name-- in that I chose it after Bai Suzhen/Bai Shejing which now that my insomnia riddled mind is typing it out... my reasoning is actually pretty shallow, they both cultivate technically speaking, both work with herbal medicine and they just wanna help people. also just ‘cuz IDW has Venus wearing white now.
wao. thassit ig welp
jennika’s I just futz around with her name like jennika jenn i ka jen nika nikaaa niko niki nike nike like the greek goddess of victory. great. ok cool now ochre? no, mustard? no, gold? yes, ok nike gold it is lolz
‘cuz I was following the formula like in the show, Purple Knight, Yellow Submarine, Red King, Orange Pawn, Blue... something, Rook? Bishop? idk lemme alone but also there’s only so many chess pieces so I kept the color coding at least
then just asked tychou for what they’d think Mona Lisa’s code name’d be for as much as Venus and Jennika are my girls, Mona Lisa’s tychou’s.

So, who did I miss?
As I watch all the fantastic new content Dropout has been coming out with this year, such as Very Important People, Smartypants, and Thousandaires, I'm becoming increasingly aware of just how many truly unhinged individuals are regularly gracing our screens, but didn't make it onto my list for this poll bracket. In most cases, this is because they just aren't on my personal favorite shows as much as the people I did include, though in some cases I chalk it up to brain farts - I had COVID when I started this blog, and did not have the brainpower to do much revising of my list once I had 32 people written down. I've already had some people I forgot pointed out to me, and my reaction is usually "holy crap, you're right! They're a total lunatic, how did I forget them???"
Anyway, the reason I'm posting this, is that I'd love to do a mini-bracket (or just a single poll, depending on how many people get submitted) to find the most unhinged person I left out of the bracket. But given the main reason someone might have been left out is me not being as familiar with them, it'd be a hard list for me to come up with on my own. So, you know what to do...
(By "comments" I mean my asks)

I mean I'm glad people are generally changing their attitude about Lori but y'all aint there yet. ''Yes she was bad but Shane was worse and they were both to blame blablabla" Nah actually Lori didn't do anything wrong at all by having sex with Shane. End of the world, dead husband, no home no food no promise of tomorrow goddamn it if she's gonna let the world take anything else My Girl is Getting Laid.

In my quest to find a laundromat close to our Con hotel, I came across The Lost Sock on Rampart.
This is a really cool place.
Yes, you can get your clothes clean there, but it's not just a laundromat. It's also a gallery and arts venue, because this is New Orleans and of course it is. What's even cooler, though, is what this building used to be. From 1947-1956 this was the home of J&M Recording Studios. Inside these walls some of the greats, including Fats Domino and Little Richard, laid down some of the tracks that we know and love them for. A good argument could be made for this laundromat as a contender for being the birthplace of rock and roll.
The Lost Sock is a little more than a half mile from the Royal Sonesta, across the street from New Orleans Jazz National Historic Park and about a block away from Congo Square.

I absolutely cannot stand Grant Obrian. And having met him in real life, he is exactly as annoying irl as he is on screen. He made mice&murder virtually unwatchable to me.

These dogs man.
There are thirty dog toys in this house and these two dogs just sat gently de-stuffing the tiniest one together.

Jaania's "all I've ever known from you is manipulation" is even more when you think about what Alexander Saga era Warlic was like
like, the intensely traumatised teenager who used bullying as a coping mechanism because he'd never known anything else and said things like "Welcome. I am the great and powerful Warlic." with complete sincerity? That's your master manipulator? Him?
he was a pretty unpleasant person to be around at that point in time, sure, but also he was like two minutes of silence away from feelings vomiting at all times. The closest he got to being capable of manipulation was taunting, I'm pretty sure, and it wasn't even good taunting
