#like HELL im gonna interact with them but its… actually I don’t know how to feel.

[gunsblazingg]

Why do the rabbids. have an account on here.

[despazito]

leftism without economic theory is painful to watch like it is nuts that women are now fantasizing of becoming stay at home housewives again as a solution to the current state of “work”. or people imagining utopias where work doesn’t exist at all, im sorry that’s just completely unrealistic regardless of how much we can automate

i think that a deep drive to pursue goals is an intrinsic part of the human condition. we like to work, we feel good when we solve something complicated or finish a task, our brain gives us good chemicals in return. even those of us with disabilities who can struggle to work still want to do something. the issue is how labour gets treated and which labour is rewarded by society.

our current system values antisocial leadership practices that will do anything to improve capital, and creates bullshit jobs nobody likes for the sole purpose of extracting the most capital possible. it’s no surprise people feel alienated from such employment especially if your job is scamming people with a few extra steps. i think the disappearance of family trades run by dedicated craftsmen who owned their own means of production has also hurt. instead it’s been emotionally sterilized through college courses and employment by faceless corporations who kindly let you use their equipment in return for a fraction of your labour’s actual value.

jobs like teaching and nursing are the backbone of society but instead their labour is deemed worthless, so even folks performing these important meaningful roles want to quit because financially the world is telling them to go fuck themselves.

it doesn’t help that the new consumerist class has been groomed to feel entitled to everything and anything, combined with the aggravated political polarization its just a molotov cocktail for any potential social interaction with a stranger to become a nightmare. i don’t blame people who want to lay flat and check out of this environment, but in the long term removing yourself entirely from the labour force and removing yourself physically from everybody you may not like or want to be around won’t fix any of these community problems!!

imagine a society instead where jobs were created out of social need and valued by how they can improve life both physically and spiritually. personally the stuff i wanna do most falls squarely under ‘volunteer’ work in this current system. i’d love to donate my time to wildlife rehab and animal shelters, hell i’d gladly pick up trash from parks all day and clean up the environment if i got a living wage. because i know i’m doing something of value instead of making my boss richer.

there’s a reason women fought so hard for equal opportunities in the work force. we wanted to find societal roles and value beyond those ascribed to us from birth. i’m not gonna let tiktokers girlboss our way back into tradlife!! (not to mention the setup of supporting an entire family on a single income was very much a heterosexual white middle class concept, many poor and nonwhite women couldn’t be stay at home moms even if they wanted to!)

[residents-of-spookys-mansion]

u already know what im gonna say....

hcs for the protag and the sandals wearing ex-protag?

It’s about time I give the people what they want- specimen 14 and 12’s Host hc’s

First the old man:

-He’s about 50ish during the events of the post bad-ending. He’s been stuck in the mansion for nearly 20 years and is specimen 12’s longest living host. Old ahh

-He used to be a far bigger threat when he was younger but age has slowed him down and his stamina is shit. He also kinda shrunk in size to do age and is constantly slouching. His bad posture does not help with his back pain

-The beds in specimen 12 are also pretty bad which also do not help with his chronic back pain

-In order to survive the old man resorted to cannibalism. 14 was initially grossed out by the idea but when they realized they didn’t have any other options they tried it. Neither of them don’t eat it raw tho. So to cook any meat they grab a torch off the wall to cook that shit. Once a person’s too rotten to eat they throw to the corpse to specimen 3 to finish.

-In order to get water they both have to take the long ass trek down to the Karamari Hospital to the ONE working water fountain in the entire mansion. That water is always ice cold at least. Where does it come from? God who knows

-The old man and 14 at first didn’t like each other. Mainly cause 14 still viewed everyone as a threat and was highly suspicious of 12 and its host. Eventually they did start talking and relating to each other.

-The old man isn’t always 100% under the control of spec 12. 12 only fully possesses him when an intruder enters the mansion. Other than that, 12 usually retains like 15-20% control over his mind.

-The mansion doesn’t consider any of the specimens as Intruders, but more like highly annoying. It’s more tense when certain specimens enter than others. However it no longer perceives 14 as a threat since he visits a lot and even cleans up the place from time to time.

-To keep himself occupied the old man either cleans up 12 or just sits around kinda zoned out. Sometimes he reads books in the library. Most of which are fake or ineligible but he doesn’t seem to care.

-The old man lets 14 stay over in specimen 12 since he trust him enough. In reality he does it because he’s incredibly lonely and 14 is the only real person he’s interacted with in a long time. He likes 14’s company and finds him interesting to talk with.

-The old man plays a mentor role to 14. Often sparring to teach him better techniques and how to parry. He also keeps him out of trouble and gives him advice to stay sane and survive.

-sometimes when 14 gets into trouble, the old man will help him out then proceed to scold the hell out of them for being letting his temper get the best of him.

-The old man does have one fear and 14 is only one he’s admitted this to. Basically because he’s growing older and weaker, he’s worried that 12 is going to want to replace him with a younger and healthier host. He admits he’s worried that any intruder who comes in could be his replacement and that 12 will purposely try to get him killed.

-14 got really sad upon hearing this cause he knew the old man’s time up soon and cause he’s the only person 14 actually cares about.

-The old man has long forgotten himself and his life before the mansion. He also is somewhat embarrassed by his vlogging days and doesn’t like talking about it. Although he still has his old camera, hidden away. He was able to find some batteries once and used those. Sometimes he goes through the camera roll and rewatches these old videos of himself, clinging onto these last bits of his humanity.

-Despite his smiling facade and closed off and quiet personality, he’s pretty depressed and lonely, which 12 exploits. Although he’ll never admit this.

-Old man doesn’t really talk to the other specimens but is tolerated. He only really talks to 14 or the spirits of previous hosts, like the hanging victim. Since they all haunt 12’s mansion.

-The old man’s room is on the second floor and so is 14’s “room” whenever they stay over. Although 12 does kick 14 out if he stays for too long.

Ight time for specimen 14

-Our ex protag is about 18-19 years old. Before becoming a specimen, they were a quiet yet friendly person who mostly kept to themselves. After becoming a specimen, their mask fell and they turned into a quiet, yet violent person who dislikes being around others.

-They’ve been stuck in the mansion for about three months so far

-They have a massive distrust of pretty much everyone. He still thinks everyone’s out to get them and is paranoid. Most specimens avoid him since he’ll attack them if they get too close, no matter the situation. Even if they’re trying to talk to them they might get an axe to the face.

-14 makes sure to destroy every specimen 1 they encounter.

-When 14 encountered the old man for the first time after becoming a specimen, they immediately tried to kill him. The old man responded by parrying the axe, knocking it out of his hands and hitting specimen 14 in the chest with the blunt side of the sickle. He then yelled at 14 telling him he sucks at actual combat and then they became good friends after that.

-Out of all the specimens, 14 hates Ben, Deer lord, and the taker the most. He especially doesn’t like Ben and attacks him on sight every time. In total he has attacked Ben around 50 times and successfully destroyed Ben 33 out of those 50 times. (Ben can piece himself back together don’t worry)

-if 14 sees the Taker it is also on sight. He’s less successful in killing him tho

-When 14 and the Host go to the Karamari Hospital for water, they sometimes encounter monster 1. Monster 1 is used to having visitors come over to get water and sometimes strikes up a conversation with them. The security guard is one of the only ones 14 won’t attack. It’s mostly cause he never saw the guard as a threat even before becoming a specimen. The guard also doesn’t mind when 14 rants to him.

-The only other specimen that our ex protag can stand is the white cat. The white cat acts as his therapist and is one of the few things keeping them sane. Also 14 lets to pet and cuddle the white cat. 14 does feel very iffy about specimen 7. Especially since his mental state only got worse.

-he had a sort of alliance with a Rex. Basically whenever Rex has a problem with Ben, he gets 14 to get rid of Ben for him and 14 doesn’t mind because destroying Ben is the only thing that matters. Although their first interaction was weird. Basically Rex kept trying to bite 14 and he wouldn’t stop even when they tried to strike him with the axe. 14 was getting sick of it so he bit Rex back. Rex just stood that like he was mental and stopped bothering him after that one.

-Whenever 14 is bored he sometimes talks to the old man endlessly about history. Even after becoming a specimen, they still retained their love for history and can go one for days about it.

-14 also started to write down his feelings in notes as a way to cope. He copied this habit from the old man who also journals.

-Our ex protag likes to sleep in a lot and can usually be found passed the hell out. Sometimes spooky has to wake him up when an intruder is getting close.

-14 does have its own “local” now. Basically the express way, the one that ‘totally’ brought you back to the start, was giving to 14 as his area. Instead of the fake specimen 2 room, it was renovated for 14

-Both 14 and the old man have a slight healing factor. It’s nothing crazy but it’s useful. Although if they do get critically injured they have to go down to the hospital for treatment

-In order to get 12 to like them and let them stay longer, 14 does help to clean 12’s mansion.

-Sometimes 14 confuses the hell out of the old man by using modern slang.

-14 views the Old man as his mentor, someone he can talk and look up too. This slowly turned into 14 starting to grow a familial connection to him. He’s just barely an adult and is still very lost in life. The Old man helps to provide some guidance even in the worst of scenarios

-Specimen 14 unlocked a new skill, axe throwing and he’s pretty good at it. He also has a bit too much fun breaking down the doors. Once time when an intruder was getting away, he broke the door and threw the whole ass door at the mf. It was highly affective. He wonders why more people don’t do that.

-14 has a fear of bugs. Specimen 3 did not help with that. Specimen 3 is like one of the only beings that can actively scare the shit out of 14.

-I have a silly little comic idea between these two, but that’s for later :)

[fairyofthehollow]

pls someone tell me how to deal with not being a teenage girl anymore i don’t think i can do it. i always drift between feeling excited and okay that i’m growing up and being utterly terrified / panicked and wanting so badly to be 16 or 12 again that i feel physically sick. and then feeling so horrible about not enjoying my teenage years and wasting them away that i’m about to end up doing the same for my early twenties. i know 20 is young but it also feels so old and like i should have everything figured out already. i know i have my whole life ahead of me but it doesn’t feel that way at all. society viewing women as ancient beings from -2 billion years ago when they hit 30 doesn’t help either. like? do i seriously just have 10 years (or will it be 5?) before people don’t see me as young and free or whatever the hell but then it’s like who caresss what people think agghhhhh. idk idk idk. i look at my mom who’s fifty this year and she’s as bright and active and smart and fun and youthful as ever. she’s going to the gym and she’s gonna start school again. i don’t see her as old, like at all. idk why i have such a hard time with me though. it also doesn’t help that ive never ever experienced any sort of romantic attention / interaction / intimacy :’) & it makes me think ooh boy the clocks really ticking. BUT ITS NOT WHY CANT I UNDERSTAND THAT!!!!!! but time moves so so quickly and it petrifies me into not even wanting to do things bc what if i end up wasting my time? what if i fail? why even try.

like im so excited bc im finally getting to know myself. high school was actual dookie water and i was a shell of a human but now im starting to feel alive again and like the world is actually big and not super tiny. im so excited for the summer bc i plan on trying new hobbies and reading a lot and doing a ton of crafts. i finally found clothes i love and feel comfortable in!! but what if my hobbies and interests end up seeming childish. do i have to retire those things when i get older? i just want to be able to be older and still wear converse and silly graphic tees or wear cute hairstyles and read fantasy novels (EVEN MIDDLE GRADE BOOKS BC THEYRE NOSTALGIC AND THEYRE REALLY GOOD) and idk rewatch phineas and ferb every once in a while if i feel like it without seeming crazy. idk :|

ugh. ive never felt so split in my emotions.

[crimeboys]

hi! this is gonna be an incredibly sappy ask actually - sending this on anon bc im an anxious mess and we havent really interacted as "Proper" mutuals so idk whats really alright yk, but like.

thank you? like your blog has p much been a rock to me in all my time in this fandom. Like this is Not the first scandal we go through and it should not have impacted me as much as it has but it Did, and coming to your blog has always made me feel a little bit better. Grounded, maybe, like im safer here than in the devious hell of the main dash. Like, youre a cool person and youve got a cool blog that has nade my time in this fandom infinitely better, and considering how attached i am to these little guys and how much time i spend thinking of them it is. its saying somethimg for sure.

hi sorry this took so long to respond, im glad i have been able to help in any way with stuff. and dont feel bad for how upset any of this has made you, it is an incredibly upsetting situation. spent a lot of time caring about/believing this asshole and that is very hard, especially knowing now what was going on behind the scenes. same with the dream stuff, and any other fucked up assholes in this community. glad you have enjoyed your time here, and i am fully okay with mutuals messaging me whatever they want don’t be afraid if we havent really interacted before <3

[sttoru]

Girly idk how I wasn't following you still, tumblr isn't stupid, I'm sorry that you are feeling on the outskirts of the fandom as well. You are a wonderful person and writer, and I'm glad you’ve been growing as you have been. You deserve so much more love!! 💕

It does make me feel like there is something wrong with me or like in off putting when i see several big blogs talking to each other, boosting each other. But then I drop in, just say hi to be friendly, only to be ignored. When they are literally responding to various anons or other people.

It seems like they want to talk to everyone else but me. Which has me feeling like I'm in the wrong, I'm bothersome and unwanted in the fandom space. They don't have to talk to me, but my feelings are still gonna be hurt at being shunned by 90% of the blogs I try to interact with.

It does kill my motivation since I don't want to be seen as someone who just posts. I want to be seen as a friend and someone to talk to.

I understand that some people get along better than others. But damn so many people are having this problem it seems like. It's boiling down to popular blogs like other popular blogs, boost other popular blogs and they stay the main people in the fandom eyes whole everyone sits quietly in the side just wanting to be partly including

Feel free to rant right back if need be. Cause I get needing to get this shit off your chest, cause I sure as hell needed to

hiii feyyy !!! dwww, it’s all good :> thank u sm for ur nice words aaaaaaa u r as well, one of the writers on here that i respect 4 their hard work !

gonna vent a bit haha need to get some things off my chest too like u said;

i get ur first point!! it sucks rlly. especially when you are the first one reaching out (which takes a lot of courage, especially for someone socially awkward like me lol) and then it hurts DOUBLE because you get ignored. i get ittttt rlly. for me, i always try to reply ppl even if im a bit late because im either thinking of a proper response or am distracted or busy , but i never intentionally ignore anyone interacting with me. i know some ppl on here do bcs they don’t feel entitled to respond to comments or anons or whatev, which is like ? ok. but if it’s someone just being friendly and complimenting you / your work … it’s not hard to reply w a form of gratitude . some rlly think they’re celebrities on here and it needs to stop

and it’s understandable and totally valid to feel like you’re being shunned and unwanted by people you just want to befriend , only for them to ignore you / not interact with you but with everyone else :/ it sucks and ppl don’t seem to realise that it could hurt other’s feelings. i hope you know that you’re not unwanted tho! those people are just… idk, a bit weird (ofc im only talking abt people who INTENTIONALLY ignore others)

findjng a friend on tumblr with the same interest is like a chore. you either click instantly or you think you do, only for it to be fore 2 interactions max and then you go back to ignoring each other basically on dash

AND YOUR LAST POINTS!! so true. its that the more popular blogs just stick together and help each other out when ??? there are smaller blogs of writers / artists just sittng in the sidelines like ‘ok so what do i have to do to gain traction if the people with a bit of bigger platforms are totally ignoring me & my works’

it’s actually tiring. ofc, me having 3k followers — i am suuuuper grateful, not complaining much, but i also know how it feels. my notifications are super dry except for mainly likes, my dms are like a desert, inbox is 98% only of anons who drop requests and then leave without leaving anything else. no one to talk to, except for people who leave a comment every once in a while :/

like u may think bcs i have decent following i actually gain more interactions? not rlly. only likes & sometimes reblogs w tags. that’s all really, i don’t really have anyone on here who i consider a close online friend (as much as this sounds sad & cringy LMAOO) but its tiring to see everyone be so close to each other on dash while im on the side like ‘how nice it must be to get that much interaction’

& im sure there are people who r gonna say ‘just interact with them’ I DO and i either get left on read or they respond dryly / or i don’t get the same energy back. bcs sometimes im reluctant to reach out first because it always ends up w me taking the initiative & i end up looking desperate to get an interaction with a mutual LOL

anyways thinking abt this tumblr writing community makes my head ache bcs of all the things ive seen and experienced on here (also on my prev account which i had for 2 years)

[spaghettiandart]

I love your Peepaw Philip AU but I’ve got a few questions that might or might not have already been answered. (Hopefully they haven’t, I don’t like being a parrot!)

How is the Emperor’s Coven operating? Is the Boiling Isles coven system self-efficient enough without Belos manning the helm?

Is Hunter freaking out about his missing uncle and trying to find him or has he been coerced into a better health schedule by some of the coven scouts (ie Steve) and possibly Darius and Eber and Raine?

Speaking of RED (lol, my little nickname for the three rebellion coven heads), are they investigating Belos’s disappearance?

And my last question - how’s Philip’s interaction with King and Amity? Those two I haven’t seen and loved comics/art of his interacting with them yet and I’m curious how that would all go over.

Hello! Firstly I'd like to apologize for taking a while to reply, I've been a bit busy irl lol. Secondly, it's all cool! I'm always happy to answer questions, and these ones haven't been asked yet (im??pretty sure?? I dont have a good memory pfft) so it's all good haha.

A little warning, both for mention of death (just like off handedly, treated as a possible result of the emperor going splat out the window), and also I'm gonna ramble A LOT, so this will probably be... very, very long. And filled with my bad humor since I cannot control myself ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. It's been only a week, maybe less, since I came up with this au so I dont have many solid ideas in place. Everything is open to interpretation!

I've actually been thinking over how the Emperor's Coven, and by extension the coven heads and the boisling isles itself, would react to Belos' predicament. I've written out a few scenarios, roughly plotted out some scenes that would go down between characters, but nothing's really set in stone. Here's what I have so far, but I honestly encourage people to have their own interpretation of what would go down if they wished :)!

So. Belos' epic fail (real not fake) (coven scouts called) via falling out a window was obviously witnessed by some scouts down the hallway, either that or they heard a loudass noise coupled with the Emperor swearing which was totally Not Good. One of the images I'd planned to draw later but didnt get to was one where there was a coven scout (STEVE!!!), Lilith, and Hunter all staring out of the window.

Now on one hand, the coven could come to the conclusion that the Emperor is dead (because who the hell can survive a fall that high + if the emperor survived he "totally would have come back as soon as he could" = emperor is dead oh crap). Hunter would VEHEMENTLY deny this ("He can't! There's no way that could happen!" Followed by him having a rough time of it poor guy).

Either that or they come to the conclusion that this was a kidnapping attempt or soemthing of the like and Belos is missing, which is just as bad. Hunter is still suspicious about that, because /who the hell could be able to kidnap Belos/? Obviously not a human teenager. Cough.

Either way, Lilith, as the head of the emperor's coven at the time (since its early season 1, right before the convention episode too), has to deal with... a lot of things, including dealing with other coven heads, the emperor's coven, and just trying to get things in order in the chaos that came from the emperor's sudden and tragic "death". Still on the fence about if someone in particular takes over his role or if all the coven heads work together (poorly btw they're gonna fight a lot over it), as well as if the general populace is informed about him "peacefully passing away from old age" or his "sudden disappearance" or whatever.

Anyways shes working herself to the bone. Shes got eyebags for days, plus the added stress of the dude who /PROMISED/ to cure her sister of her curse just up and vanishing to who knows where, so shes. Having a rough time.

Hunter is, as I said, not doing well!! In his mind Belos has always been this sort of... untouchable figure, you know? Nobody could hurt him. Now hes missing, and since Belos is his only "family", Hunter is determined to find him, wherever he is.

So then I had this scene written down where Lilith, still wanting a cure for her sister (plus some other things she needs for the coven itself), and Hunter, wanting a clue about his uncle's whereabouts, both decide to. Uh. Break into Belos' quarters and pilfer his shit.

Does he even have quarters canonically? Its so weird thinking of this dude like... legitly sleeping. Like in a BED. Either that or he sleeps on his throne ahdhshava just imagine that. Hes sitting on his throne all day listening to people with his mask on and hes not responding because hes completely OUT behind that thing ahagdhs.

Okay side tangent over. Basically Hunter is sneaking down the hallway, all sneaky like, and he stops by the door. He reaches out to open it, but before he could it opens to reveal lilith, carrying several books that had probably been banned from the public, and they're both staring at eachother.

"I wont tell if you wont."

"Deal."

A few other notes I had detailed a scenario in which Lilith and Hunter either a) work together to carry out the Emperor's will while he's gone (or presumed deceased) or b) investigating into what occured due to their own interests, which eventually winds up with them uncovering the mountain of wtf that the Emperor had hidden. In my notes I wrote down about them potentially meeting the collector because I thought'd it be funny to draw their reactions to them. Fun!

(Also the collector has been around Belos for a while now, just kinda stuck in place. What the hell is he gonna do when the only contact they've had with another person- albeit not a GOOD one, not by a long shot- suddenly disappears???)

As for RED (THATS WHAT THAT MEANT!!! I SAW IT BEFORE IN A FEW FICS AND I WAS SO CONFUSED AHFHSGWGAH ANYWAYS-) they probably get involved later on with this whole mess. At this point of time Raine isnt a coven head- unfortanutely, but they only become one in season 2, and since its season 1 it's up to Darius and Eber instead. I do contemplate if, in this state of chaos, Raine is promoted earlier on so that theres more stability or something,,, idk. I'm still not sure ^^;

Goodness but. This kid. Hunter needs some people to make sure he doesnt wear himself down to the bone just scouring the isles. Imagine if he arrives in places to investigate like RIGHT after Phil leaves the place, both none the wiser. Gah.

Honestly though, I think if anyone would be able to coerce this kid into sleeping a full night's sleep, it'd be Steve. Hes not involved with all this conspiracy-investigatory-drama stuff like all of the other responsible adults in Hunter's life, and he has big brother energy.

Okay, onto King and Amity: I- uh, I'm still figuring things out with these two. Amity is Lilith's personal apprentice (I'm pretty sure? At this point in time at least), and the au begins before her character development really kicks off, so I dont think its until later when she gets to meet Phil and also experiences deja vu "hey your voice is super familiar?" like Eda and Lilith. Just like RED, I'm not sure what to do with Amity yet, unfortunately. I'm open to suggestions/ideas though! :)

As for King, Phil is like... you know cat trees/perches? Yeah. That's what Phil is to King. Hes like an adequate Grandpa, he has some responsible instincts, but hes kind of reserved to being King's personal perch when he wants to feel tall.

Somewhere in my notes I also wrote down the following:

"King and Phil are mysterious origins buddies

King: maybe you were also a malevolent and terrifying (though not as terrifying as me) ruler like I once was?

Phil: hm... no, I dont feel like I would have been a very good ruler"

It was for something I wanted to draw but,,, yet again, I didn't get around to doing lol.

I hope that answers your questions! If you have anything else you might like to ask, or suggestions or things you want to talk about, feel free!

Thank you for your ask!! :D

[boypussydilf]

aw hey another relationships ask. how about sae and akechi? (platonically if thats not obvious,) vastly interested in hearing your opinion

OH MY GOD I HAD NOT EVEN CONSIDERED THEM. CAN WE TALK ABOUT SAE AND AKECHI IVE BEEN DYING TO TALK ABOUT SAE AND AKECHI “youre literally about to talk about them” I AM}!??!?!? SWEET!!!!! literally i saw i had an ask and i was like oh man I’ll probably have to save it for tomorrow and then i saw what it was and was Instantly restored to Full Health. my HP bar is massive and so is my brain. anyway this is once again gonna turn into kind of a big post so

describe their canon relationship/dynamic

SAE NIIJIMA. AND GORO AKECHI. HAVE. THE LITERAL FUNNIEST DYNAMIC OF ANY CHARACTERS IN ANY PIECE OF MEDIA, EVER.

They’re, like, coworkers, which is already incredible bc they’re like. a 27 year old woman and a 17 year old boy. i dont actually know how old sae is but you get the idea. can you imagine being sae and working so hard to earn a position & respect as a young female prosecutor and then theyre like. can you confer with this Teenage Prettyboy. shes so strong for not just walking out.

But It Gets Better. Every interaction they have is stellar. The very first time we see them interact, which is also The First Time We See Akechi, At All, is, god i dont remember the Actual conversation they have i only rememebe the end of it, the most important part: akechi trying to get sae to buy him sushi and looking so miserable and pathetic when she’s like “only the cheap stuff :/“. Fucking…. incredible. 10/10 introduction to their dynamic all on its own. I cannot remember if akechi ever asks her to get him sushi again in the game or if im recalling something that happened in the anime or a fanfic. but. god its so funny. akechi, AKECHI, trying to pester this adult woman he works with into treating him to food. and her refusing. its incredible i could talk in circles abt how good this is for years.

and then it gets even funnier bc of like. the scene where sae realizes that Her Laptop Has Been Tampered With, and she asks akechi if He did it because they had a Disagreement recently. sae thinks akechi is petty enough to like. illegally take important and classified case information from her computer. over some difference of opinion that like, i imagine we see in the game, but if we do its so Understated that ive never noticed it. and she goes Did you try to get revenge on me. you bitch. like its so so funny

AND IT STILL GETS FUNNIER. BECAUSE. makoto says like. she got the impression sae had more trust & respect for akechi than for her. Sae is like “this guy I work with can be annoying and full of himself but he’s genuinely smart and he gets the job done i respect that” and then the guy in question is A TEENAGE CELEBRITY.

I don’t think we ever get to see akechi talk about sae all that much but like. It seems like he does Genuinely Like Her. And also is constantly passive aggressive at her!

In conclusion i. They’re incredible. They’re coworkers, theyre enemies, theyre very good friends with deep respect and even a kind of admiration for each other, theyre one businesswoman and the weird as hell teenager she works with that she feels compelled to be nice to because she has a little sister his age.

your ideal/headcanon version of it? how does it differ from how it is in canon & why is this your favorite version? any other alternate versions of it you enjoy?

Again yet another case of like. ^ All That is just like. Their actual canon interactions. I cant improve on that. The only way it can be made better is by having More of it. GOD I wish we got more of it. Oh also I think they talk shit about other people theyve both worked with together. With the utmost professionalism.

what do you like about their relationship, why is it interesting or enjoyable to you?

theyre a combo of “GOD i want akechi to have friends. so bad” + “This is the funniest thing ive ever seen. in my life” i wish i was big brain enough to come up with something as riotously hilarious as their dynamic. the whole concept is so singularly unique. i dont know if that was even INTENTIONAL. its all There and it just gets skimmed over. just….. completely fascinating

what about the individual characters involved? what does this relationship mean to them, what makes it unique among their relationships?

*sobbing and blubbering* what if… goro akechi… had friends and people he cared about… even if he wont fully admit it or tries to avoid it… Like legit that’s. theyre. theyre like friends. i keep going to say They Get Along but they do not get along. but they are. friends. mostly in a Work Friends kind of way but still. & like. i think itsjust inevitable that as an Older Sibling sae will see people younger than her & feel Urge To Watch Over Them And Make Sure Theyre OK even without any like Personal Attachment. *sae voice* i guess i have to take care of this annoying fucking kid because NO ONE ELSE IS!!

of course agaun they also both just have Professional Respect for each other. as well.

favorite interaction they have in canon

AGAIN. THE ONES I LISTED @ THE BEGINNING. AKECHI TRYING TO MAKE SAE BUY HIM QUALITY SUSHI AND SAE ACCUSING HIM OF BEING EVEN MORE PETTY THAN HE IS. 10/10 SITUATIONS

favorite interaction they have in your head/a situation you want to put them in

ACTUALLY I HAVE NO IDEA. I JUST WANT TO SEE THEM INTERACT MORE FULL STOP. i think anything they did together would be funny

[blueeandyellowmakesgreen]

argyle:

Why I like them

hes hilarious, intelligent and the only ‘normal’ friend outside of the group’s trauma circle and they really need that, especially jonathan. i think sometimes people forget jonathan didnt have friends back in hawkins so im really glad he met argyle

Why I don’t

you are Legally Not Allowed to dislike argyle

Favorite episode (scene if movie/book)

4-episode 2 for putting mike in his place at the airport with that hug

Favorite season/movie

4? i guess

Favorite line

‘GOT ME STRESSED AND ITS NOT EVEN MY GIRLFRIEND’

Favorite outfit

i cant Remember. i know he has funky pants

OTP

him and weed xxx (jargyle’s cool too)

Brotp

jargyle..!! but id love to see el and argyle interact more tbh

Head Canon

mike gets argyle’d offscreen and thats why mike dislikes him bc he was able to psychoanalyze the kid while high. also casually admits hes queer which makes mike spit out his 7 up

Unpopular opinion

i think that since s5 is gonna be hawkins based with the chars as the center, i do think argyle is gonna be seen driving back to cali in the first ep. brief goodbyes are said and hes off since jonathan and el insist he go back before he gets into any unnecessary danger. theyd do that

A wish

he doesnt die and is confirmed queer in s5. maybe he goes back to cali as soon as s5 starts i honestly see that happening

An oh-god-please-dont-ever-happen

doesnt die i guess!!

5 words to best describe them

cool, intelligent, funny, creative, confident

My nickname for them

dont have oneee

joyce:

Why I like them

love of my life. shes SO smart and cares about her kids so much. shes so loyal and the reason why the men in the show even get anywhere and i need that acknowledged in the show how shes always right i NEED people to stop doubting my woman

Why I don’t

no

Favorite episode (scene if movie/book)

god i dont remember but it was the episode where she argued with lonnie in s1 and had that speech where she was never going to stop looking for will. that was a chilling moment for her, and a runner up is her talking to will through the lights. honestly joyce fucking shined throughout the entire season, which leads to my next answer for the next question!

Favorite season/movie

1!

Favorite line

again, going back to her speech against lonnie!

Favorite outfit

season 3 outfit slayed

OTP

JOPPER 💞💞💞🥰

Brotp

watching her and murray in s4 was actually really fun!

Head Canon

she played dnd with will, just the two of them when he was younger!

Unpopular opinion

uhhh i really didnt like how her reunion with el was more significant in s4 than it was with jonathan and will, her own kid who she went to hell and back for,, a very miniscule part of me is just salty abt that fjjdjd i miss the byers family interacting okkk

A wish

that men stop doubting her 🤡

An oh-god-please-dont-ever-happen

dont die.

5 words to best describe them

caring, passionate, genius, loyal, hot (i said it.)

My nickname for them

no nickname!

HELLO I FINALLY HAVE TIME TO WATCH THE FIRST OS2 SIMM EPISODE 

im really hoping they do seanmaitee and not naysean for this, bc otherwise ill probably scream and riot. i love winnysatang with all my being, but their characters in this show shouldn’t be a couple in my opinion (if you ship them i have absolutely no problem with that). from memory (and i binged simm not too long ago so i think my memory is reliable), they’re literally only in the same room together once, and they dont even interact at all. SEANMAITEE, ON THE OTHER HAND, were SO CLEARLY being built towards in the show (the way maithee would hit on so many people, and sean would constantly stop him, but then when sean watched someone else hit on daonuea but didnt stop him, and the way sean always has a protective arm around maithee, and gejrdhfbghr i could talk about them forever honestly), and then the COWARDS freaking DIDNT MAKE THEM OFFICIALLY CANON???? im so salty about this and need confirmation and i will be Angry™️ if they do naysean instead of seanmaitee 

anyway, time for the actual commentary to begin (that was a really long introduction, damn) (future egg here to tell you: it gets worse. the commentary is really long on this one. it’s mostly keysmashes about seanmaithee. good luck.) 

THIS IS PROMISING, VERY VERY PROMISING, PLS P’NEW AND SCREENWRITERS AND GMMTV AND STUFF, DON’T CHICKEN OUT LIKE YOU DID LAST TIME 

im actually stressed out why am i stressed out 

im genuinely scared for what’s gonna happen 

what if they do naysean 

theyd better not do naysean, PLEASE 

grebghreb

(im literally 20 seconds in, why cant i just watch stuff without needing to spam my thoughts) 

THESE FLASHBACKS ARE SO SWEET 

SIMM HAS BEEN SITTING IN THE BACK OF MY MIND BC EVERY OTHER SERIES IVE WATCHED SINCE THEN HAS BEEN SO MUCH MORE BRAINROTTY THAN THIS ONE BUT I STILL LOVE THEM 

“i still love daonuea, i love daonuea, and i love daonuea” ITS SO FREAKING SWEET WHAT THE HELL 

this has definitely been said before by like everyone, but something i love about this series in particular is how kluen was terrible at showing his emotions and feelings and inner thoughts, he was this blank slate going around and showing nothing. but then, as the series progresses, he tries harder to show nuea that he likes him. but my boy doesnt have it figured out yet, and there’s communication errors and it seems like he’s pushing himself on nuea and it seems like an unhealthy/toxic relationship, but it’s not, he’s just autistic and doesnt know how to communicate his emotions and he’s trying for the first time and doing it wrong but he’s trying. and then it gets to the last episode (or two? i cant remember) and theyre so happy and fluffy and good vibes and its because he’s finally figured it out, he just has to say ‘i love you i love you i love you’ and even pronounce it to the world ‘I LOVE DAONUEA’ so that everyone knows and so that nuea knows and so that they can both finally understand and be happy and ghrbghrb they make me happy 

that was so incoherent but you probably get the gist of what i mean 

okay im gonna stop ranting now, im still only a minute into the episode lmao 

HELL YES THIS FREAKING INTRO 

MY FREAKING BOYS 

THEYRE COMING BACK NEXT WEEK 

ANJGHBERJDHGBERHJBGEHRAAAAAA 

sorry this post is supposed to be about simm, ill try to keep the eclipse keysmashes to a minimum 

AND PUENTALAY ARE COMING BACKKKK 

im much more excited about puentalay than i was last week since i rewatched vvs a few days ago 

NOOO THE LITTLE HAND KISS- IM GONNA CRY 

TINNGUNNNNN 

sorry i should stop freaking out about the shows that are coming and start freaking out about NUEAKLUEN THEYRE BACK HELLO MY BOYS 

GUY4ERGHKBER SATANG 

HELLO SATANG 

ILY 

ILY A LOT 

AND MAITHEE STANDING NEXT TO SEAN AND STARING DIRECTLY AT HIM LIKE THERES NOTHING ELSE IN THE WORLD HE SHOULD BE STARING AT?? THIS IS PROMISING 

kluen why are you slightly late 

he’s gonna profess his love for nuea in front of all the freshmen isnt he 

i know he’s gonna do it 

“that’s the hottest senior from the faculty of dentistry” yup. absolutely. he’s gonna profess his love in front of all the freshmen 

if he doesnt profess his love in front of all the freshmen, then im a bar-ba-loot from the lorax 

yUP

im shaking my head in a supposedly disappointed way rn but im actually smiling bc i love him 

he’s so pretty and in love with his pretty boyfriend and their love is pretty 

HIS FREAKING SHIPPER FACE 

SEAN’S KNOWN FOR LONGER THAN ANY OF THEM AND I FREAKING LOVE HIM 

omg he did like a little sway and nudged maithee a little bit with his shoulder ghjerbgdh 

by the way im gonna switch between spelling it maitee and maithee cos idk which one is right so im playing both sides, so you’re just gonna have to deal with that 

(there’s a high likelihood that no one’s noticed the spelling alternations and now that ive pointed it out everyone’s gonna be hyperaware of it, but its fine) 

he knows what he just did 

“i just wanted to make it clear from the start in case some freshmen hit on you” i love him 

also i was about to say that kluen is supposedly the hottest senior, so shouldnt he be more worried about himself getting hit on, but then i remembered that in this universe dao is the sun and everyone else is the solar system revolving around him, so of course the freshmen would try to hit on him lmao 

except for sean. 

sean’s a moon revolving around maitee 

THE HANDS THE FREAKING HANDS LOOK AT THEM HOLDING HANDS 

I KNOW THEYRE DATING AND THEY HAVE BEEN FOR LIKE A YEAR 

BUT I JUST LOVE HOW THEYRE SO OPEN AND FREE AND HAPPY AND IN LOVE AND I LOVE THEM AND THEY LOVE EACH OTHER AND I SWEAR IM OKAY (im not okay) 

“but after meeting you again, i knew i must start loving you. there’s no way i will let go of you again” THIS MAN IS GONNA MAKE ME FREAKING CRY WHAT THE HELL THAT’S SO FREAKING SWEET 

THEY LOVE EACH OTHER 

AND IT’S SO RAW AND PURE AND GHJRBDGHRB 

HIS FREAKING SMILE, HE LOVES HIM SO MUCH 

“you’re shy, so you’re walking away, darling” dARLING-- IM DYING 

fun fact, i was watching vice versa with italian subtitles and at one point one of them called the other ‘darling’, which is ‘tesorino’ in italian, and i knew that the suffix -ino means ‘little’, so i looked up what ‘tesoro’ means and it’s ‘treasure’, whcih means if you’re calling someone darling in italian youre calling them ‘little treasure’ and i just think that’s so sweet 🥺😭

I LITERALLY JUST GASPED 

THEYRE STANDING NEXT TO EACH OTHER 

AND IT’S MAITHEE’S ARM AROUND SEAN INSTEAD OF THE OTHER WAY AROUND???? PLEASE TELL ME THAT MEANS WHAT I HOPE IT MEANS 

HE’S SO FREAKING HAPPY, IT MAKES ME HAPPY 

CONTAGIOUS HAPPINESS 

GRJKGB

ARE WE ABOUT TO GET A FULL FREAKING SCENE WITH THEM??? 

or am i clowning 

i was expecting just crumbs but pLEASE TELL ME THEYRE GIVING US A FULL SCENE 

PERHAPS EVEN TWO SCENES 

honestly just let pawin’s characters be happy and gay 

also i find it funny that the order theyre going in is the first three are all of pawin’s in a row 

(and in all of them he’s gonna get a happy and gay side character plot line??? please????????) 

gosh darnnit nuea is in the scene now 

perhaps there will be something later in the episode? maybe in tonight’s episode?? 

THE SHOULDERS THE ARM AROUND THE SHOULDERS IS PAWIN FINALLY BECOMING MORE PROTECTIVE OF SEAN IS HE FINALLY REALISING HIS FEELINGS FOR SEAN AND/OR FINALLY BECOMING OPEN ABOUT HIS FEELINGS FOR SEAN PLEASE TELL ME THAT’S WHAT THAT IS 

THE ARM AROUND THE SHOULDERS IS A METAPHOR 

OR SOMETHING 

MAYBE 

let me dream, okay

ya know who else ignores everyone and focuses only on the person he loves intently? sean 

maithee why is your voice so croaky 

is that just pawin putting on a particular voice for the character 

or was pawin sick 

or is maithee sick 

if its one of the last two, i hope he’s okay (be it the character or the actor) 

so... the croaky voice was intentional? 

THE L O O K 

sidenote, satang is so freaking pretty. why. who decided that. 

MAITEE ARE YOU COPYING THEM??? PLEASE TELL ME YOU’RE COPYING THEM 

SEAN WHY DID YOU LEAN AWAY YOUVE BEEN IN LOVE WITH HIM FOR YEARS 

it’s the fate of The Captain 

just ask tiw, he knows how it feels 

or wat, also ask wat 

or aoi and jack 

or- sorry ill stop lmao 

kluen arent you a dentist. why are you sitting at nursing. 

idk how dentist school works 

did he have to go through nursing stuff to get to dentisting? 

im an arts and literature kid, idk what im talking about 

OMG, STRAIGHT PEOPLE?? 

this is a rare phenomenon, folks 

hello straights / straight presenting potential future couple 

omg its literally been nearly an hour since i started watching and im still only 8 minutes into the episode 

OR, PERHAPS, LESBIANS??? 

there could be anything, really 

in my mind, every single character in ever single piece of media is pansexual until proven otherwise 

bro you’re leaning into each other so much, JUST KISS 

also i sense that sean’s about to become the unwilling captain of yet another ship (but he secretly loves it) 

kiss. 

lmao theyre not sponsored by the anime sparkling water, it’s just normal water, the little plebs 

soundwin were sponsored by the anime sparling water 

and then tiwpor were

but soundwin did it first 

soundwin always did it first 

anyway, it’s seanmaithee time not soundwin time 

KISS. (again, the frEAKING ARM OVER THE SHOULDER GHBRHGB) 

there was a slight scene change and i thought that meant that maybe we wouldnt see much of them for a while, but nOPE, THEYRE EVERYWHERE 

i wouldnt be surprised if they were behind me right now 

hello seanmaitee, how are you today 

(i wish) 

lmao they even blurred the water bottles in post just so that everyone knows that THIS ISNT A SPONSOR 

THEY BACK TO THEIR ROOTS, SEAN’S HAND ON MAITEE’S SHOULDER 

BRO YOU’RE ALWAYS SMILING AT HIM IN MOMENTS WHERE IT DOESN’T FEEL LIKE IT FITS THE CONTEXT TO BE SMILING AT HIM 

YOURE IN LOVE WITH HIM 

KISS HIM 

“you two see that kluen and i are in love, but let me tell you that-” THAT YOU TWO ARE ALSO IN LOVE???? “we actually love each other much more than what you see” DANG IT I WAS WRONG 

im right tho. seanmaithee are in love. 

HES SO UNNECESSARY AND DRAMATIC, I LOVE HIM SO MUCH 

im sorry what the hell does that mean 

omg maybe its because he knows how to make people jealous because he knows that he’s always made sean jealous and he knows that now because theyve already confessed to each other and theyre already dating??????? 

im definitely clowning but shut up i dont care 

whoop, helmet putting on time 

(guess what, soundwin did that first too-) 

i smell a sponsorship in this motorbike thingy 

this makes me so happy 

why does this make me so happy 

he knwos him so well and knows he loves art and stuff 

so he wants to take him to buy watercolour

i love them 

i love them so much 

grhgbtrhbgfr

OH HE EVEN KNEW HE WAS RUNNING OUT OF WATERCOLOUR??? BROOOOOO 

theyre so sweet 

sorry im tryna take the commentary down a notch because this is long enough already lmao 

FINALLY, IM FINISHED 1/4 

THAT TOOK WAY TOO LONG 

IT WAS ONLY LIKE 15 MINUTES LONG AND ITS BEEN OVER AN HOUR SINCE I STARTED 

omg i just remembered i forgot to watch the mv for the ost for this 

i was gonna do it like four times yesterday but i kept getting distracted and forgetting 

dang it 

OMG OISHI SPONSOR 

I FREAKING LOVE OISHI SPONSORSHIP SEGMENTS 

THEYRE MY FAVOURITE SPONSORSHIPS AND I CANT EVEN EXPLAIN WHY 

is it just bc i love ice tea? that could very well be it 

lmao nueakluen stirring things up just to make seanmaitee confused this is so funny 

im loving this storyline 

we’ve barely seen it play out yet but i want typhoon to be happy and this is so nice 

lmao what girls 

seanmaithee are in love with each other, bro 

aweeee little accidental kiss 

FOREHEAD KISS 

“CAN I KISS YOU” 

and he asked in ENGLISH 

its always so offputting whenever they speak english for like one sentence bc im never expecting it 

i love it

but also i hate it 

why are you speaking english 

stop speaking this rubbish language 

it sucks 

a lot 

its the worst language 

keep speaking thai, please 

AWW KISSEEEE 

“of course” STOP IT WITH THE ENGLISH, PLEASE 

AWWWWWEEEEEHBRDHFGBREHJDG KISSSSSS THEY KISS 

HAPPY 

“you only kissed one cheek so i only open one eye” hes so silly (affectionate) i love him 

brEAKFAST IN BED??? 

EGWSVFHGSGV “will you eat breakfast first or eat me first” bro 

THE FAKE DRAMA THEYRE STIRRING UP- THIS IS SO FUNNY WHAT THE HELL 

GEIRHBDGHREDB TYPHOON AND... i forgot her name. the girl. TYPHOON AND THE GIRL THEY MEAN SO MUCH TO ME 

shes so pretty 

THE FAKE ARGUMENTS 

ITS SO FUNNY 

KLUEN’S GETTING SO INTO IT HIS ANGER LOOKS SO REAL OMG 

mIN, THAT’S HER NAME, MIN 

“if this thing makes them break up, let’s get ordained, shall we?” the way this is worded it sounds like some kind of marriage proposal 

“i told you i already have a date with a girl” NOOOOOOOOO

noooooo, maithee had a date with a girl, and the only other person other than their group that’s going on the trip thing is nay, and theyre definitely gonna do a naysean thing, gosh freaking darnnit 

unless they dont 

unless maitee only had the date so that he could try and get over his feelings for sean bc hes convinced himself sean doesnt reciprocate, but my hopes are not high 

BUILDING A HOUSE TOGETHER???? PLEASEEEEE 

theyre so freaking in love i love them so much 

LITTLE KISSE i love when they little kisse 

damn its over now 

NOOOOO IN THE PREVIEW THERES A SUPER CLEAR NAYSEAN THING 

I LOVE WINNYSATANG A LOT BUT WHY CANT IT BE SEANMAITHEEEEEEEE

Dang this really does feel like the upside down

I cannot tell what’s happening rn everyone’s speaking and my spanish is NOT that good

LMAO Quackity keeps frickin dying

I love that this evil portal was open and people IMMEDIATELY pushed Quackity in it

LMFAOOOO HE DIED FOR REAL

Thanks to the gods of Karmaland for babysitting this moron

MERLON???

Alexby has the cutest little laugh

Sapo Peta warning them that the open portal will let evil in but Vegetta insisting they need to go inside because if there’s a chance they can find Titi, then it’s worth it 😭 

Sapo Peta forgot Fargan wasn’t there KEKW

Group 1: Vegetta, Rubius, Quackity, Sapo Peta Group 2: Alexby, WIlly, Luzu, Lolito, Staxx

Group 1 is going to be a Hot Mess

Awh Sapo Peta saw Vegetta and Rubius look at each other and put them in the same group 😭 😭 😭

QUACKITY STOP DYING CHALLENGE

Wait Sapo Peta split himself into two? I completely missed that LMAO

Quackity: I'm a little embarrassed to be falling so much in front of you Sapo Peta: ..that doesn't exactly... bother me... 😒 

QUACKITY BE A TEAM PLAYER FOR ONCE IN YOUR LIFE

Rubius wanted to impress Vegetta but he keeps frickin dying. L

Sapo Peta’s first mistake was putting the prettiest but dumbest Karmaland boys together on the same team

Quackity: I have an idea! We should kill the boss! Vegetta: That's an amazing idea! Quackity: Let's go! Let's go! *Inmmediately dies* Vegetta: I got him! I got him! *the boss kills him* He got me! He got me! Someone help me!

Me: I wonder how Luzu’s doing Luzu, the resident emo punk: This place is kinda nice Me: Yeah that sounds about right

Luzu: For some reason I feel better here than when I'm on the surface, I like being here. I feel an inner peace KING.........

Luzu: I want to stay here forever. I want this to be my home. SEEK THERAPY KING!!!!

Wait this might not be a bit he might be getting possessed

Everyone in Group 1: *exhausted from the fight* Quackity: WHO WANTS KARMAJUANAAAAAA

Vegetta’s entire armor was destroyed. I’d love to see a drawing of that, that’s a cool visual

Wow they weren’t kidding this is LITERALLY the upside down

No matter how dire the situation, Quackity CANNOT resist bullying Merlon LMAO

Of COURSE the final boss lives in the upside down’s version of Vegetta’s house, it’s the best house in Karmaland

Luzu and Lolito finding a way out of the maze before everyone else. Yeah that tracks

Alexby and Quackity being the very last to find their ways out of the maze also tracks

YOOOO FINAL BOSS TIME LETS GOOOO

It’s like a red version of Staxx!

THE BOSS FIGHT HASN”T EVEN STARTED AND QUACKITY IS ALREADY DEAD

awh who just revived Quackity? That was so cute. “I gotchu bro!” 1h 30m in? WAIT WAS THAT ACTUALLY LUZU THAT”S SO CUTE

QUACKITY STOP BEING A FRICKIN COWARD

I KNOW YOU ONLY BROUGHT IRON ARMOR BUT THAT”S YOUR OWN FAULT

Quackity if you’re not going to FIGHT then you better at LEAST go around and heal people

QUACKITY IS SO USELESS IM SOBBING

This is such an important lore event yet everyone is sob-laughing because this big boss fight is happening yet Quackity’s just on the floor rolling around half-dead. Absolute Magikarp flop

Quackity on the ground and everyone just staring at him judgmentally LMAO he deserves it

World’s most pathetic man

Sapo Peta: We defeated the king, maybe we can return home through the portal now? Staxx: But what about Quackity’s legs? Is it permanent? Sapo Peta: I don’t know. Can anyone carry him in their arms while we go back? Luzu: I’LL DO IT! I’LL DO IT!!!

FRICK WHY WAS THAT SO CUTE

NOOOO SAPO PETA SAID THE RITUAL FAILED BECAUSE OF RUBIUS NOOO HE ALREADY HAS SO MUCH GUILT AND TRAUMA OVER LOSING TITI DONT SAY THAT

Quackity making fun of Luzu’s age and Luzu shooting him with arrows Me: Haha nice Luzu: I don’t know why -- my arrows all go straight to your heart. I don’t know why that happens Quackity: I don’t know. I don’t know CAN YOU HEAR ME SCREAMING

Unrequited love 😭 😭 😭

RUBEGETTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA BESOS

Luzu Rubius and Quackity in therapy what will the do. They certainly won’t cope or get any help, that’s for sure

Quackity: You need to be arrested! Rubius: And you need to be deported WTF RUBIUS LMFAO??? (clip)

I don’t think I’ve ever seen Quackity laugh this hard

SAPO PETA ENTERING THERAPY WITH A STEEL CHAIR

LUZU IM GOING TO UNINSTALL THAT FRICKIN MOD MYSELF I SWEAR

Luzu’s doing important therapy work meanwhile Quackity, professional streamer, is watching a “How to play Minecraft” video tutorial

QUACKITY SHUT UP CHALLENGE

Not Luzu explaining the concept of consent to Rubius and Sapo Peta I’m in hell I hate it here

STOP RUNNING AWAY FROM THERAPY QUACKITY

HE INSTANTLY FELL AND DIED LMFAOOOOO

Rubius: Sometimes I feel uncomfortable going to his dungeon and doing... dances for him Sapo Peta: You literally come just so you can get enchantment books and other stuff Rubius: Yeah but I want to do something other than dances! RUBIUS LITERALLY NO ONE ASKED YOU TO DO THAT YOU KEEP VOLUNTEERING IT AND MAKING EVERYONE UNCOMFORTABLE

Rubius: But Luzu, how am I supposed to know who loves me? Oh wow I feel like I just got punched in the gut

nothing is frickin funnier than hearing Luzu absolutely LOSE it then go silent for a second and swearing in English

Rubius: I- I don’t even know who I am anymore since I met Sapo Peta! FRICK. WHY IS THIS GETTING SO SAD

Quackity you are the last person who should be giving romantic let alone THERAPY advice

uh oh

Quackity: I have a problem with both people in this room! Luzu: There are 3 people Quackity:

OH NO RUBIUS FOUND OUT MERLON VEGETTA DIED NOOOO

They’re forcing Rubius to accept that Titi is dead MAN this therapy session is rough

QUACKITY IS SUCH A BASTARD

:(

For as much beef as they have, Luzu is being very kind to Rubius about Titi’s death

Quackity: MY PROBLEM is that I let my two boyfriends meet each other and now they’re getting along and I don’t like that! And my solution is to make you hate each other! Luzu: ...I think it’s best if we let our session end here

Yeah Quackity you deserved that my guy

QUACKITY DONT EAT THE LIMES AT TITI”S FRICKIN SHRINE YOU ABSOLUTE DEGENERATE

OH BY I GUESS QUACKITY

[sadisticyouko]

honestly i tend to latch onto any characters thatre kinda fucked up and obsessive with their attraction bc yandere stuff is like. a really big vibe for me jfjdjfj and its why i sometimes project a bit of yandere-ism on other chars too jfksjf i be out here kinning himiko toga and shes not a low kin by any means- ACTUALLY i just remembered a song, its one im absolutely obsessed with, cant tell if itd be ur style or not but its Mx Sinster by I Dont Know How But They Found Me and its. very good creepy lover yandere song 👀 (their other song Choke isnt the same vibe but its an upbeat violent song which is really really fun too :3 )

also yeah i dont relate to hiei at all but im absolutely obsessed with him because he hits like. all of my points of Favorite Character. which means basically he checks off all of the points of shadow the hedgehog, who im equally obsessed with HFKSHFK the only difference is that hiei is much more of an asshole and has no problem with murder lmao. but hes SO. hot. cute. handsome. im literally thinking about him constantly daily and its absolutely a key part of my major kurama kin feels hfksjf i just want to hold him so baddd. sits him in my lap and kisses and bites him. edgy lil tsundere who owns my heart

also its no worries !!! i dont mind vents on my dash, hell on the occasion ill vent on my main too lol. its ur blog so do whatever the hell u want with it !! sometimes we just gotta yell shit out of our brain!

ALSO YEA IM VERY INTROVERTED TOO and conversing in asks like this at first is for some reason easier. less daunting. brains r so weird fbsjf BUT sometime. hopefully soon. i will try to dm u. or u can try to dm me first if u want fjdkfj hell if ud wanna talk on discord instead (if u have one) u could lmk bc i tend to be more active on there since im always chattin with my gf there lol. but yeah uve always just gave me a vibe of someone thatd be fun to chill with !!! (so hopefully we both can breach our introversion to actually chat LOL)

Omg I LOVE himiko 🥺 I kin her relationship with her family but I’m not exact enough to say I fully kin her 😂 I don’t really relate to too many ppl in mha (except maaybe todoroki, or ururaka on a good day) I kin so many people in yyh cuz I grew up watching it and reading the manga since I was 9 ! and then proceeded to read very inappropriate fanfiction for the rest of my life apparently 😂 so they’ve all had very strong influences on my personality ! yandere is a favorite vibe of mine, I haven’t heard those songs but I’ll definitely check them out ! i like the aggressive stuff so it sounds like it’d be right up my alley !

and omg that makes so much sense ! hiei is definitely … attractive >\\\\\< it’s the height that makes me conflicted tho ! I’m only 5 feet tall but I still struggle with the idea of it 😂 his personality is perfect tho 👌 definitely simp material, he’s still one of my all time favorite characters and for good reason ! I feel like if I think too hard about him I’ll fall down the rabbit hole of crushing on him and I won’t be able to stop, and kurama wouldn’t like that very much at all ૮⸝⸝> ̫ <⸝⸝ ა

yea idk how but it feels easier like this for first time interactions ! It’s like I’m in a big open field and it makes me feel safer than if I were a bunny in the cardboard chat box or something IDK 😂 we’re just gonna play dm chicken until someone cracks 😂 I don’t have a discord but I’m almost always on here ! don’t be afraid to dm me ! sometimes my social battery runs out BUT I enjoy the interaction !! ૮⸝⸝> ̫ <⸝⸝ ა

sunflower etude ch5-10...;_;

Faust: It’s my fault that she turned into a cursed mana stone. If anything happens, please protect the children. If I am taken by the curse, take the children with you and run. Figaro should turn me to stone.

unreal things to say pt918723

Nero: .......... Haha.... Guess I can never win. Faust: What? Nero: So you’re also the type of guy who pushes his limits at the risk of his own life, huh. Man, I keep drawing the short straw.

UNWELL

scratching my head at faust & figaros convo. figaro thinks faust was the one who left him.......'you can rely on me' i also would have been pissed off faust LOLLLLLL 'i wont abandon u' FIGARRROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO (with the intention of violence) oh the first time figaro changes to a more serious expression rather than a smile in that convo is when he tells faust to trust him,,,,

Faust: Do I look unfortunate now?

PART TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.....oh im gonna be ill actually. 'do i need you if im unfortunate?' oh this. oh i. ? uargh. figaro.........part two figaro......i forgot this convo happened too... 10/10 conversation. exellent. can not explain my feelings on it further

I recall Lennox’s words. "I think the current Sir Faust would be better off with a role of some kind." At times, we can be crushed by the weight of our duties. But perhaps there are people who become their true selves only by taking on a role. Watching the Faust before my eyes makes me think that.

akira initially hesitating toward agreeing with lenos words to thinking this way..T_T rly glad... faust is ssoooooo cool in these parts, i lov leader faust........

Nero drops a handful of still-warm sunflower seeds into my hands. I carry my palm to my face and stuff my cheeks with the seeds. Nero laughs teasingly at the crisp sounds I make as I bite away. Nero: Ahaha. You’re like a squirrel.

THIS IS UNFAAAAAIIIIRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Rutile: Mitile, are you hungry? Do you want some of mine? Lennox: You can have mine too...... Akira: And mine....... Mitile: Th-that’s not it!

STTOOPPPPPP LOLLLLL mitile & the ppl happily giving away their food for his sake.... rly like mitile & shinos relation....(but also mitile holding a lil grudge about how shino said mean stuff about southern wizards vs shino who did Not care further LOLLL) + the voiced line for mitile saying 'i dont have parents either' sounds ssooo defiant im so fond of that voice direction. nero & lennox saying they lived a safe life but also both of them saying the other doesnt look like they have..ohhh i need more of these two interacting yesterday......

Figaro: I’m always serious. But my wish will never come true, so I pretend I’m joking around. Faust: For what purpose? Figaro: Because I don’t want to get hurt. It’s the same reason I left your side.

head in hands. no comment.

actually this entire convo...........??? ill probably return to it later cuz what the hell.............anyway the way faust continuously has angry voice lines when talking to figaro. i get it. the end part of this ch is...@_@ figaro.........................................guy whos teachers are snow & white who have e/o...................

uu the eastern wizards;-; 'lets work together, even though we're people who can't be together'........

LENNOX CALLS AKIRA BY NAME IN THIS EVENT? <-FORGOT

Before I know it, tears have begun to flow from my eyes.

;-; akira....... also the repetition of hearing a womans laugh throughout the sentences is so good..........bianca.................(started ch10) BIANCAAAAAAAAAAA oh this event is so good...........faust hugging the sunflower.........bianca......its soooo beautifully written. its such a strong early event, like its truly 'this is mhyk' to me.....sets the mood & themes of what to expect of future events so greatly.

Akira: ....Yes, I think I have it. Um.... Will something scary happen if I mess up....? I ask, timidly. Faust laughs in the rain. Faust: I am a curseworker. If that ever happens, I’ll help you out.

the way fausts voiceline is voiced..T_T the lil laugh...

me thinking i only teared up this time:) didnt cry:) bam bianca is voiced. I CANT DO THIS..............TEARS....

Faust sees the stole around my neck and pauses mid-sentence. He smiles without saying a word, then reaches out towards me and adjusts the stole.

EMERGENCY MEETING. COLLAPSING. ough his following voice line is soooo soft too............

anyway. thumbs up emoji. reread was excellent. etudes being voiced is 15/10. had a lovely time with it, lots of great voice lines in there (nero was consistently a favorite). very well worth the time. i truly do love this event with all of my heart. i dont have a lot of further thoughts about it, its just. rly rly good. love how they have the characters interact

[wooahaes]

i think about single father seventeen inevitably falling for reader even tho they told themselves they wouldn’t and their kid loves them too like 🫠

they tell themselves that they’ll get back out there later maybe, once their kid is a little bit older, just so things might be a little easier with introducing a new person into their lives

and then idk readers maybe their neighbor or their kids elementary school teacher and WHOOPS they fell bc of how kind reader is toward the kiddo imo.

im sorry for the fact i literally went off on this. i have Thoughts.

cheol probably has to tell you to stop sneaking his kid candies all the time but it’s a gentle chiding bc he knows that you don’t actually do it that often, plus he likes the little mischievous look in your eyes when you do it—like you (and his kid, who gives it away w their giggles) are genuinely getting away with something.

hannie probably has that fond look on his face everytime you interact w his kid. i imagine that the kiddo might have a bit of a mischievous streak like their dad, but they always behave so well with you (maybe bc they adore you) and he loves how patient you are. he probably works a lot so it honestly already feels like the three of you are a family when he comes home to see you and his kid just chillin.

shua imo pushes back on those feelings. his kids still young and at first he was worried about what introducing a new person into their lives would mean. but honestly i think he’d be tucking them into bed and they’re like so when are u gonna marry them 😇 and he gets flustered as hell over it. but its comforting to be around you and to hear you dote on both him and his kid. you have the key/code to his place, so it always feels very domestic to come home to you making dinner while his kids playing with their toys. really gives him that “honey, im home” moment imo. probably fully gives in and accepts his feelings when you see how tired he is and offer to put the kiddo to bed before maybe busting out the wine and relaxing w him for a bit, and the way his kid gets excited at the idea of you reading them a story. it just shows him how important you are to both him and his kid.

jun i think also denies it a little at first, but way more half-heartedly bc man KNOWS hes got it bad for you. why wouldnt he? he sees the way his kid squeals with delight when you come visit because you always bring both of them a little something (typically just a candy, but he’ll never forget the day you splurged and got his kid that toy they’d pointed out when the two of you went out for a nice walk while he was working). he loves how much you think about him and his kid, and it just feels like you naturally came into their lives. he decided he was going to wait, but if his kid loves you and you love both of them and he loves you… then why bother waiting? his kid absolutely plays matchmaker btw and hes like its genetic i guess 😔

soonyoung is smitten with you and ends up going to his friends w his concerns imo bc his kids still young? is it bad to bring someone into their life like this? how do you even date when you have a kid this small? but all it takes is him watching you play chase with his kid and the way you scoop them up and laugh together for him to change his stance. that doesn’t mean he asks you out immediately—but if his kid loves you, then he 100% is open to something with you. honestly one of the most likely to just drop a casual “you’re always here taking care of us haha why don’t you just stay forever?” while the two of you are having dinner one night.

wonwoo i think takes the longest time. both to fully warm up to you and to fall for you. like, you will be seeing at least one birthday before he realizes how deeply enamored he is with you. but maybe its the way YOU make/buy a birthday cake for him and his kid that he realizes how right everything feels when you’re around. honestly? probs has a genuine convo w his kid about if they’re okay with him finding love bc he doesn’t want to stress them out. and honestly??? they probs tell him that they like YOU and they want him to marry you rn (which earns a chuckle out of him). maybe someday. but at least he knows you care for both him and his kid tbh.

god. if shua and jun push back on their feelings even a little, jihoon does it the absolute most. he’s busy both being a parent and working. you’re already a godsend for taking care of his kid while he’s out all while refusing payment??? and you literally have no motive, you just genuinely care about him and his kid? how could he not fall for you tbh. but he tries to tell himself that a relationship rn wouldn’t work, that its too much stress on him and his kid and tbh he doesn’t even know if you like him like that. but he’s probably making dinner one night when his kid tucks on his shirt and asks where you are bc they always have dinner with you. it feels weird to not have you around. deadass this kid probs goes “if YOU dont marry them then i will 😤” out of nowhere during that and jihoon laughs but it makes him realize how much his kid adores you. so he invites you over for dinner that night and probably asks if you’re busy later before clarifying he can get a friend to watch his kid—he wants to see you.

seokmin enamored dad who also worries a lot abt accidentally stressing his kid out with someone new, and also worrying about what IF his kid is a dealbreaker? the obvious answer is that things wouldn’t work out at all, but also? what if…? he really likes the person? its kind of a miracle that you fall into his lap, having given him your number bc you had friends w kids and you know a bit and could help him if he needed anything. his kid is probably constantly asking about where you are, why can’t they see you rn, why doesn’t he just marry you like he obviously wants to (he’s never trusting his friends to babysit again after that one, even if it WAS cute to watch his kid stumble over the word “obviously” while parroting the statement back at him), they LIKE you bc ur so nice and fun and you don’t make them eat EVERY carrot like he does sometimes, only most of them 😇. so maybe he’ll ask you out sometime… just give him some time to figure out who’s gonna watch the kid without giving them More comments like that to say.

mingyu probs feels something and doesnt act on it. he just assumes its him getting fluttery bc he’s watching the most important person to him being treated kindly by you and it always makes him happy when people are loving to his kid. then that feeling just… never goes away. he comes home to you cooking with his kid on their chair next to you, dropping chocolate chips into cookie dough, and honestly that’s probably the moment mingyu knows he’s down bad. you make him AND his kid happy? total package right there. probably flat-out asks if you’re seeing someone and if you want to after he puts the kiddo to bed, giving you that charming smile as he sits with you, both of you just kind of knowing.

i think minghao is another person who pushes back on his feelings tbh. he just assumes he’s infatuated with you bc he hasnt dated in a while and ur nice to him AND his kid. you come over to check on them both when hes not working and you take care of them while he Is, so he sees you often enough.he probably offers to make/buy dinner for the both of you to make up for u having to take time to watch his kid, and you accept often enough that it feels weird to not have you around when he’s not working. he probably asks his friends if they think it’s okay to like... start dating someone if your kid already knows them and likes them, and every single one is like “oh, someone like [you]?” because they just Know. 

seungkwan! single dad of the year! doesnt think he wants to date until his kids grown tbh. i just think he’d overthink it like he has work and he has to be a single parent and that’s hard! what if his kid starts to think that he loves them less because he’s starting to date? he doesn’t want that :( tbh he isn’t even seeking that kind of relationship with you at first. you just happen to live next door and he was having trouble w his kid and either needed someone to watch them while he ran to get them medicine or someone who’d go and you said you’d be back in ten minutes, twenty if there was a serious wait, w literally no hesitation. after that he like... brought you dinner to make up for it and the two of you got to talking and when you said that if he ever needed someone to watch his kid to just come to you he... did, actually. no one else could once and you said you were happy to do it. honestly if u indulge him in gossip that he gets from other parents (like some of his friends do)... he’s heart eyes, babey! and his kid just kinda tugs at his hand one day and is like dad do you liiiike them :)? and he kinda has to come to terms w the fact that whoops. he does.

ngl i think vernon is someone whos like... the chillest dad on the outside but Panic on the inside like. as a single dad. like ik his family is probably helping him out + his friends, but dude probably is like well shit i need to learn how to cook without burning it half the time because we gotta be healthy here, etc. dont think about single dad vernon just holding his baby while sitting alone in his apartment because it’s just the two of them against the world (even with all the support they’re getting) and he’s gonna protect them btw </3 ouchie! but honestly? vernon’s kid probs ran off as a lil toddler while in a store because they got distracted and he let go of their hand to grab something on a shelf. man panicked, went to find him, and found you crouching in front of the sniffling kid promising that you’ll help them find their dad, its gonna be ok kiddo, you’ll find him even if you have to go to the front of the store and get someone to page his ass. i deadass think vernon never intended to fall for you, but was happy to gain a friend since you mentioned having experience w kids (whether thats a lie or not, he’d never find out since you seem good w kids). and then the two of you just ended up hanging out enough that hes like 😳 over u whenever ur interacting w his kid bc his kid fucking LOVES you. which is good btw like he doesnt have to worry about that whole deal. honestly his kid probably goes to YOU and tugs on ur shirt like when are u gonna marry my dad??? and ur like how do you know about that sort of thing and theyre like my aunt AND my uncles :) and ur like. vernon what are these ppl saying to them. (catch vernon in the bg texting every single person that they’re dead to him for rn bc kids parrot shit all the time... but immediately revoking it once you ask him out)

ok sorry for going off w him i just think hes neat :)

chan! baby have baby. single dad chan is just... lost imo lmao like he knows basic stuff via endless research and his friends n family supporting him, but like??? girl help. but you just find this guy in the actual baby section with a crying kid in their carrier, trying to quiet them back down because aaaa baby is overwhelmed in store but he needs to get groceries and then ur like. buddy do you need some help? bc he seems like he’s alone rn. you literally pump a bit of hand sanitizer into ur hand (since he keeps it on hand Just In Case he needs it now), gently ask if you can help take them out of their carrier, and chan literally watches them quiet down as you take them out and gently rock them. you say something about how your friend had a baby and that you learned they can be really sensitive to temperature so his kid was probably getting too warm + it doesn’t help that he’s panicking since babies are in tune with that sort of thing. and hes like. please teach me everything u know rn, heres my number, i need the help if you dont mind. and hes kinda cute so ur like yeah dude ofc. and literally anytime his kid starts to get rly upset and he cant get them to calm down on his own, he calls you first. sometimes it results in you literally rushing over. and at some point chan realizes oh my god... my baby likes you? like they still get upset ofc because they r tiny, but sometimes all he needs to do is facetime you and he notices his kid getting calmer??? you’ve been chosen by his kid, sorry. plus idk his kid probably is attached to you a bit. chan swears that his baby somehow developed a secure attachment to you instead of him despite knowing that it’s definitely not true, but maybe its a sign. he probably realizes his feelings when you’re crashing at his place bc it was late when he called you, and ur both just kinda tired but not asleep and lying together on his couch while his baby is finally asleep again. he feels like he can do this better when you’re around. he wasn’t hopeless at all, but you? you make him feel confident. and if his baby likes you... then that’s a definite plus lol

(i am so sorry for how long this is i s2g it was just going to be short blurbs but i got carried away w vernon and dinos.)

Heaven and Hell: or my experience being a person of color in Disney’s Hyperion Theater

by Cooper Howell

Heaven and Hell: or my experience being a person of color in Disney's Hyperion Theater. #holdingtheateraccountable Im just gonna go ahead and be straight up. This is pretty scary to share. HEAVEN: Once upon a time Liesl Tommy cast me as Prince Hans in Frozen: Live at the Hyperion. And I was gooped. GOOPED. There was nothing in my prior history that gave any indication this was possible. Up until then every role I played had to do with my race. Every. Single. One. And even ones where it didn’t (Shakespeare or classical pieces mostly) I was always made aware that the novelty of me being a poc in that role that gave me the part. So much did I not expect to get this part that when I got the callback I rolled my eyes and didn’t take the actual callback seriously. I mean, there was a zero percent chance that Disney would ever let me play a Prince, especially when the dude in the movie is a ginger. But then I got it. And immediately everything I thought was possible about my career changed. My whole life I’ve never inwardly felt black. I’ve never inwardly felt white. I’ve always felt like I was Cooper, you know, on the inside. But whether it was every single white human in Utah reminding me that I was “the whitest person they ever knew/saw” (which DIDNT mean how white my skin was. It was how white I ACTED) or Mr. Johnson, my 7th grade drama teacher, telling me that he “wanted to put Velcro on the ceiling to see if I’d stick” or Mr. Smith, my high school drama teacher, saying “finally we can do black shows” as soon as I entered high school and then not casting me in roles because of the "optics" of it, or even my best friend in high school Tanner Harmon who called me "blackie", I was always reminded that I was an other. So imagine getting paid good money to put on that $10,000 costume and waltzing out to 4000 people a day to play a really amazing part. A fantastic, evil, complicated, person who sings a killer duet and then grabs the show by the throat with a vicious about-face monologue... and not once was my race ever mentioned cuz it didnt matter. What was being prized was Cooper, my talent, not my skin color that I never asked for. Heaven. Liesl MADE SURE, almost overly sure, that the poc’s in the cast felt equal. The kingdom of Arendelle, after all, is a make believe place. It can be whatever. From having Disney executives come and tell us that they were happy to have us there, to side conversations with John Lasseter, we were made to feel overly welcome playing the parts we were playing. She encouraged us to dive deeper into the script of a cartoon that I didnt really think much of until I was in it. We were encouraged to ask why. We felt seen as talent and not commodities. There were, of course, detractors. Gosh, I remember people at a party of cast members from "Mickey and the Magical Map" another show at Disneyland which features a princess and the frog number and many of those casts mates angrily claiming that “if that black girl Tiana Okoye can play Elsa than I should be able to play Princess Tiana” and then looking at me to confirm that was okay to say, not realizing that a) she’s one of my best friends, b) that I’m in the show with her also playing a role that wasn't created to be a poc, c) how racist that sounded, and d) why there's a difference there and why that wouldn't make sense. On Liesls final night I came up to her and said “I don’t know why you did it but thank you so much for casting ME in this part” to which she replied “you mean why would I cast a handsome, talented person in this role?” And I stuttered something like “well, I mean, I’m black. You know...” to which she tilted her head to her side and said “no. I don’t know why. Tell me why that matters.” And I had no answer. Seeing that I had no answer she smiled. That was the answer. There was no reason. On the spot my outlook about myself changed. Windows into what I thought was possible for me opened. -------------------------------------- HELL: And then Liesl went back to NYC and she was replaced by a man named Roger Castellano as show director. Rogers task, he told us on the first day, was to "change the show". We were not told what needed to be changed or even why, but that changes were on the horizon. You've got to understand: to a full cast of actors who had just spent more than three months dissecting a 60 page Disney script with a Tony nominated director like it was Shakespeare, we were initially emotionally/mentally/spiritually resistant to changes. But then it became clear that the spirit of collaboration was over, and the show changes were to be given without the same care, consideration, and thematic explanation of why they were being made. Everyones initial reaction was to push back, but when people who questioned their notes or their changes started getting days removed their schedule or being replaced entirely by a new actor, the Hyperion theater became a place where no one was allowed to speak out. Injustices were happening left and right and no one felt they could do anything for fear of losing their livelihood. And that's when the Frozen: Live at the Hyperion became a living hell. In my first note session with Roger he pulled me into a room with Domonique Paton, my best friend and incredible costar who played princess Anna in the show I was in. She just so happens to also be black. Almost all of Prince Hans’s scenes in the show are with her character and so most of my notes would be primarily based on those interactions with her. Earlier in the day I performed with a different (white) actress but it was the show with Domonique that I had a note session about. Imagine my surprise and dismay when, with how Liesl set up the show experience, we were told this: “WHEN THE TWO OF YOU PERFORM THE SHOW TOGETHER ITS TOO… URBAN.” Urban. What else could that have meant, do you think? He could have said maybe “too contemporary” emphasizing that we were maybe too modern in our speech patterns or movements. We weren’t. He could have said “too lax” or “too loose” meaning that maybe we were being unprofessional and goofy up there because we’re really good friends. We were not. The best me and Ms. Paton could think of was a 8 count moment of improv dance that me and Domonique decided to use as a synchronized moment of unity. It happened to fall on the line “our mental synchronization can have but one explanation” and thought, with the freedom that Christopher (the original choreographer) had given us, was appropriate, especially considering everyone behind us was doing the robot. As in the 80s robot. But he didnt clarify. He just said “WHEN THE TWO OF YOU PERFORM THE SHOW TOGETHER IT’S TOO… URBAN” And when asked what he meant he smiled with a little shrug and said "you can figure that out. You're smart." And thats how I became Black Hans and Domonique became Black Anna. My every moment onstage afterwards became about the optics of being a poc in that show. It was if I was suddenly made aware that I was LUCKY enough to be there and under any normal circumstances, or this new directors circumstances, me getting this part would have never happened. But the message was clear. It was especially clear when me and Domonique Paton shows together durastically decreased and made even more clear when the vast majority of the new hires were not people of color. But no one said anything. And made even MORE clear when, over the next few weeks, both Domonique and I got COPIOUS notes, ten times that of our coworkers that played the same parts. It was almost a game. In fact we did turn it into a game, seeing who would get the least amount of notes from him in a day. Our costars would even joke about it onstage with us, during the ballroom scene, and jokingly whisper "The shows been up 15 minutes. How many do you think you got today?" But no one said anything. And the notes were about all kinds of things. How we held our hand. If our inflections went up or down on a word. Which side of a couch we leaned on… which was fine! When you're an actor, thats the gig... until we started comparing our notes with the actors that played our same parts and none of them, NONE, would get the same notes. Our notes would be outrageously longer, the note sessions sometimes lasting 10/15 minutes. Others would get the “Oh hey, try doing this or that next time, okay bye” walk-by notes. Sometimes I would sneak into the audience and watch as some of the other Han's, some of whom changed lines, changed entire intentions of scenes, some of whom adding in all types of vocalizations and cackles and dance moves and what have you, and would receive ZERO notes. But I was watching them to see what was wrong with me. What was my performance missing? What am I actually doing to feel this singled out. And then I realized that the thing that was wrong with me was that I was a different color than the 5 other white Hans's they cast. And then I started getting notes about my penis. Most of the time these “penis sessions”, as I called them, were given in private rooms without another stage manager present. It was incredibly unpleasant and unprofessional. In fairness, those Prince Hans pants are TIGHT! And yes, Mr. Howell is indeed a party in the front and a party in the back, but so were a lot of those fellas. And thats where I put my foot down. If Disney was going to provide me with a costume it is not my responsibility to fix their problem, especially when other of my (white) costars had been given a dance belt for the same thing. But they never got penis notes. Private session notes about what their penis looked like in that show. Over and over again I was told to fix it, to not make it (my dick) so apparent, and that “if my daughter were younger I wouldn’t want her to come to a show you were performing at" all the more insulting considering his daughter, a cast member in the show, was a friend of mine and the loveliest person. He started demanding that I buy a dance belt. It was “my fault”, “my responsibility” …and thats where I took my stand. And then it really became hell. Penis sessions were now done out in the open. Once, he screamed at me, in the green room in front of all of my costars during lunch, about how incredible unprofessional I was, about how he was tired of seeing my dick, and that if I didnt go buy myself one I didnt deserve to be there anymore. Followed by a huge litany of notes. That doesnt compare to some of what Domonique went through and I invite her to share them if she’s willing. During this time I went to every stage manager in the building and told them about being singling out and about my penis. They all told me to write a complaint report and it would go to some place called "HR". Which I did. Numerously. More months passed. Nothing from "HR". Multiple cast members who witnessed my note sessions encouraged me to go to the HR themselves. I didnt honestly know what an HR was. As soon as it was explained to me by my allies even what an HR was I went to the head of HR at Disneyland herself and waited outside of her door. I asked her if she got any of my HR reports and she told me that she had received no HR reports from the Hyperion. Ever. And then asked me to fill out a HR form. As we went over it, she asked me some questions, and then set up a second meeting. On the second meeting she said that in order for my report to be given credence I would need witnesses to give their testimony. The witnesses, in fact the very people that told me to go to HR in the first place, said no. They didnt want to lose their jobs. In retrospect that might be the thing that hurt the most but, whatever... anyway, I was told "“well… without testimonies we’ll do an investigation and we’ll call you when we’ve completed it.” I never received a phone call. With absolutely zero protection from the stage managers from both the sexual harassment or my obvious racial targeting I (and others) were experiencing, not to mention that HR reports were doing nothing, aka not being forwarded, I thought about quitting. And when a white stage manager made a show mistake and laughed it off to the cast by saying an entirely offensive lynching joke, I quit. I didnt matter to Disney. How I felt and what I was being put through didnt matter. I was a commodity. My departure was unceremonious. Bizarre. 100% un-magical. I hung up my costume one last time and it was given to a new Hans, one who looked very much like me oddly, and stepped out of the theater. The park was playing “every wish your heart desires will come to you” and I remember laughing at how dead that song felt. The director has since moved on but still works as a musical theater director in Southern California. This one time 4 years ago I got to feel something other than my color for the first and only time in my professional career. It lasted from about March 2016 to July 2016 and never again since. I will never forget in those early days looking at all the beautiful princesses I got to woo and thinking “wow. I’m a prince right now.” Im sure that sounds stupid. But it didn't feel stupid. And a Disney prince! Yeah, a shitty prince kinda... I mean, he's a sociopath... BUT still a Prince! Especially special was being able to look in Dominique’s eyes and I could see the same glimmer of “can you believe we get to do this right now” reflected back. We never knew it was in the cards for us. My race always has and will always be part of my career equation and a determining factor of its projection. It will always be a determining factor in how im treated, by creatives, by people, by the those in authority over me, including the government and the police. #wasitmyskin

EXCUSE ME LETTERKENNY AU?????

HELL YEAH BABEY

so back in novemberish i got a call that i was fired from my job while i was on my way to end things with the guy i’d been seeing, and i ended up with like. nothing but free time for a month and watched all of letterkenny. the fic idea’s been in my head for ages and i dont think i’ll ever actually write it? so here’s a basic bulleted outline also this post 100% helped inspire it

Jack is Wayne, obviously. He’s fresh off a breakup with Camilla, and he’s doing Bad. (Camilla is fine in this au because i have a weird soft spot for Pretty Blonde Girl who literally only appeared once in comic. She just broke up w him because she wasn’t feeling it anymore)

Shitty is Squirrely Dan. He’s a few months into a women’s studies course and he wants to tell everyone he can about it.

Ransom and Holster and Jonesy and Riley. I don’t feel like I need to explain this one at all. I didn’t know which of them was which until like season 3 that’s all im saying

Lardo is Katy. She’s dating Ransom and Holster, who aren’t dating each other (or are they? no one’s quite sure, least of all them. Threesomes have been had but we don’t need to talk about it, rans, it’s fine. Our dicks never touched, okay?)

This is where things diverge from canon. It’s not gonna be a retelling of letterkenny, more just adopting some of their tropes/character archetypes. Also this is gonna get long so i’m putting the rest of it under a cut

Chowder and Farmer are Mr and Mrs McMurray. Less of the general obnoxiousness though and more just every time we see them they can’t keep their hands off each other. Lardo and Farmer have also hooked up at some point you can’t take this away from me. Chowder and Jack have no idea how to interact with each other but are also very close friends. They don’t understand it either

Dex is the town bartender/handyman. He has also hooked up with both Chowder and Farmer because I deserve this.

Nursey is the Bonnie McMurray character. He works part time with Dex at the bar, where they fight/flirt constantly. Every time he’s mentioned there is a sigh and a “Derek Nurse....” Everyone in the town would like very much to kiss him. He’s not related to Chowder and Farmer at all, and has also hooked up with them because i deserve this 

Whiskey and Tango are Stewart and Roald. I have nothing to expand on here specifically I just think it’s funny.

I have nothing for Dary or Tanis or Ford but none of their characters really mesh. I don’t know. Someone else can figure this out.

ANYWAYS

Regular town life gets turned upside down when American baker Eric Bittle comes into town

He’s on a tour across Canada and the US finding recipes for his upcoming cookbook, which is all based on small town cuisine across north america, and he ends up in Samwell, Ontario

This is not a town that is known for anything except for their pretty good community hockey team. they got second place at the Province finals. It was a big deal. They definitely don’t have any recipes their town is known for, but Bitty ends up at the local bar, where he meets Nursey and Dex, who introduce him to and Chowder and Farmer, who introduce him to Jack and the crew, and then he just sort of. doesnt leave?

He’s supposed to be working on his book but we all know how Bitty is with procrastination, and also there is this very handsome gruff farmer who’s always holding a german shepherd puppy and bitty may or may not ignore calls from his agent for like a month, until she ends up driving into middle of nowhere Ontario to make sure he hasn’t been murdered or kidnapped

So Bitty leaves, and finishes his book, and there’s a whole chapter on Samwell that gets scrapped because there’s not actually any recipes in it but it’s so charming that somehow it gets turned into its own whole half memoir of his time there half picture of life in small town canada and him and Jack keep in very close touch (you know, for research)

and then eventually he has to go back to town to finish the book and him and jack kiss and he stays forever and they throw super soft birthday parties and jack beats up assholes and homophobes and lardo eventually dumps ransom and holster for shitty and ransom and holster realize they may or may not have been using her as an excuse to kiss each other and everyone is happy
