why has post shortening been changed so that, in a lot of cases, only the last few lines of the last paragraph of a post are hidden? this often leads to long posts full of photos or of lengthy paragraphs being shortened by just a few lines, which is kind of pointless.

Answer: Hello there, @nothingunrealistic1!

Thank you for your question. This is as mysterious to us as it is to you. Very mysterious. Nay, spooky even. That shouldn’t be happening like that.

In short, we believe you may have found a bug. We would suggest you file a Support ticket, and we’ll get on the case pronto. It would also be good to know any and all specifics you can offer (web/iOS, Android, etc.), as we haven’t come across this problem in casual use.

Hopefully, this will be fixed before long, and don’t forget to keep an eye on @changes for the latest updates.

Best,

i like great comet (i got into it before i really got into deh!) and think it deserved more recognition / a longer run than it got but it's not like that's the fault of deh for Existing. and of course people who still remember the 2017 tonys like the alamo aren't going "man bmc and tlt were snubbed too," they hate those shows and probably consider them to be Comparable To / Aligned With deh in ways that the tony nominators & voters obviously did not

lmfaoooo re: like the alamo. truly like not deh's fault for existing nor for its black swan lightning in a bottle event that would've been tough to compete with even without any tonys, and also not its fault for organically achieving that

honestly i forgot about like the Musical Theatre Snobbery factor and how there were puhlenty of randos who loathed bmc/tlt/any of the shows even associated with young audiences, basically. aligned with the tonys with that element, obviously; that like musicals-hating "i'm the true musicals connoisseur" that's like, defensive and seeking out the "not like other musicals" ""Legitimate"" """"""""Serious"""""""" shows to feel superior about and prove to anyone else that oh yeah Some musicals are Genrey and Silly and Entertaining but not the shit Eye like. bitches....begone

*palpatine voice* did you ever hear the tragedy of u/I-Love-Roach the Unwise?

u almost certainly had to look up that story to get their username and i think that’s beautiful. and if not then u simply remembered it and that’s even better.

[redandfranticfeelings]

for ship opinions: staged dorks

man okay i have gone on A Lot about this ship bc i put a lot of heart into christine and jeremy as characters and i am very defensive of their dynamic, at least in the 3.0 incarnation.

bc like okay i can def see people brushing it off as a one-sided love story esp in 1.0, and maybe see christine as a manic pixie dream girl and/or something for jeremy to attain and save, and some lines i feel could be better regarding that idea. but i think that when you look deeper into the script, jeremy is good for christine.

because jeremy, despite all his issues overcoming it, owns and admits to his insecurity and depression in a way christine doesn’t, because she tends to deflect or downplay her issues, instead trying to reach out to others through theater, and it comes across like she thinks admitting that she “wants things to be easy” makes her selfish. him matter-of-factly telling her that’s normal in VIMH is really important for her to hear. i wish more people acknowledged her insecurities (because we clearly see she’s socially awkward and even bullied like jeremy is) and how jeremy helps her, just as much as she helps him shamelessly embrace his weirdness. jeremy admits to his depression while repressing his weirdness, while christine admits to her weirdness while repressing her depression, which is a good parallel. (michael also has a very similar arc but i think it’s more obvious with him; christine gets brushed off more often).

christine is very empathetic and compassionate, even before she gets to know jeremy she’s constantly worried when he seems nervous, and is the only person to help him in the mall after he freaks out. i think this might, admittedly, cause some complication, because she also tends to feel so hard for others that it depresses her and she blames herself, like after the fire with rich and jake. however, jeremy also obviously cares about her, and wants her to express herself rather than bottle up her feelings, so i don’t think he’d let her drive herself nuts over him. and he’d probably do the same to her, lol. it’d just be a cycle of “no please don’t worry about me, you’re the one who’s struggling!” and they have to both deal with their empathy issues and just boost each other up :)

also i like to think jeremy genuinely cares about her art, i mean if you watch ILPR (particularly the wrol/steph ones) he is just enthralled with her, and obviously he does listen to her in 3.0 with their clever “bowling alley performance art” change, and that’s why he knows her well enough to identify when the squip sets her off, and her autonomy is so important to him (because it’s important to her, as she ranted at him for assuming she would ever want a squip, because jeremy’s arc involves realizing not everyone with insecurities wants to change what makes them unique) that he risks himself to save her, which is a point everyone makes but it’s important.

i also like to think jeremy is genuinely interested in theater (which is canon to the book) because his interest in the play comes before christine even shows up, so i like to think they both can indulge in acting together, and jeremy genuinely likes learning about new things, and christine is a good teacher, i think it’s just therapeutic for them both as jeremy embraces this outlet and christine gets to infodump :)

which leads me to my point that they’re both Very Autistic Coded (and ADHD coded- hell in christine’s case it’s outright canon) and they both really get each other on that front... both know how it feels to get super into something and want to share but nobody ever seems to listen, and how social interactions are practically a chore, but they can just be themselves around each other. and while michael is great i think he struggles to be patient with jeremy (which is something that can be worked out between them; i'm not putting down that ship and i love it too) while i think christine is more capable of understanding how it feels to put on a face for other people, though she does it in a slightly different way.

in conclusion..........🎳

as far as I can tell from my dash, the only characters are winston, taylor, winton's boy and girl best friends, the woman taylor made out with, and axe, but he only exists to have just left the show. it's all about these characters alone committing an infinite amount of white collar crimes while being called undeserving insults and slowly self-actualizing. actually I lied there's one more character and he's called mafee, and he's usually a cool dude but he recently made a real cringe move and nobody liked that.

[unproduciblesmackdown]

is winston's phone case based on an actual existing phone case, and if so may we See It in full 👀

oh great question and appreciate any snart sninquiries lol but boring answer: no it is not based on any real phone case!! i Ought to be looking things up for inspiration / reference, b/c that’s just helpful for anyone i think, and especially b/c i have no Ideas myself when it comes to this sort of thing, but i’m allergic to doing this smh which is just an L for me, like, i should be doing that for my own sake at least. but even when it’s like “i have a picture that could be a relevant point of reference already saved, i only have to open Files Explorer and search for it” i drag my feet on that, if i’m searching from scratch i might avoid it so hard it doesn’t happen at all, smh

for example my process here was going “okay what color should his phone be. should i add another Grey Thing when his tee & calculator watch are already That” (i think this would’ve been a reasonable choice still) & then i’m like “ugh god what colors even are there” & of course i start messing around with some Blues, which, naturally, i chose to avoid using as much of in this drawing than i maybe otherwise would’ve lol, and the decision to give him any Phone Decor was somewhat spontaneous & hardly a very Serious choice, i am not like yes my hc is definitely that winston would have an aesthetically personalized phone, but since i Am going with that, it’s like, well we can infer he likes Space, so here we go with a moon and planet and stuff like that maybe.....then i had the baja brain blast about any like “give me space” joke variation for when you like space, Outer and possibly also Personal. despite the lack of Real Design Existing, this one is still basically what i was thinking of, the readable text with some sort of stylized / geometric Space Objects scattered around

like again i Ought to be looking stuff up and/or like, saving references/inspiration type pics for future occasions, because i am also always having the experience like, oh once again there’s an opportunity to draw winston wearing a tee with a design, but i can’t actually think of anything lmao, and yknow in all of this it doesn’t help that we’ve still only seen So Many tees ft. designs or other manifestations of his personal choices / preferences, like oh okay great he seems to like to keep his desk clear in contrast with his [immediate personalizing of desk space] new deskmate, unless he’s going ham on a project for days at a time possibly in which case he might have drinks / food around, hard to extrapolate like “what aesthetic choices might he make in a totally personal space / context” lol. but yeah in this case it was like, well, it’s a go-to that he likes Outer Space, why not add the “and back off too XD” element for kicks lol

[unproduciblesmackdown]

omg new blog title… a winner

yeah like noticing i haven’t shaken something up in the past like over two years.....i was going to just put “quantent” alone or the like but then gave it a little more apropos flair

6 and 9

nice

6. Episode of tv or webisode that defined the year for you?

I thought a lot about this question and I’ve narrowed it down to 3 answers which are posted here in experienced order:

Daredevil 1x10 Nelson v. Murdock - i rewatched all of daredevil with my roommate during the quarantine part of the spring semester and had a blast. foggy finds out matt’s secret (being a superhero, his super senses). the Betrayal of it all. the way they show them ugly crying instead of like letting out a single man tear. fuck. “then again, maybe i would. what the hell do i know about matt murdock?” the cutting back and forth between their present day fallout and their meeting and developing friendship. it’s SOOO much it’s like Specifically Crafted for maximum pain and i eat it right up. foggy: are u even really blind? the show: *immediately cuts to a flashback of them meeting and foggy learning that matt is blind* foggy: was anything ever real between us? the show: *cuts to the two of them thick as thieves and making plans to form their law firm together and matt almost revealing his secret*. matt: this city needs me in that mask, foggy. foggy: maybe you’re right. maybe it does. but i don’t. i only ever needed my friend. the show: *cuts to them starting their law firm together.* also the scene where ben is in the hospital with his wife and we see her forget him on screen. ouch. a lot happens in this episode but tbh i just focus on the Friendship Falling Out. it reads even better if you think they’re in love with each other, as i obviously do. man daredevil Hurts.

Star Wars: The Clone Wars 7x12 Victory and Death (series finale) - the panic in rex and ahsoka as they have to get off this LITERAL sinking ship filled with enemies that used to be their brothers, who had just within the week painted their armor, one of the few things they can customize to express themselves, to resemble her, who they know would never willingly turn against them, and a fucking wackjob killer wildcard. the growing tension and cornering is fantastic. when ahsoka takes off rex’s helmet and he cries because he’s facing killing his brothers. the cute droid squad. i’m always a sucker for non-humans. the fact that they had special orders to kill ahsoka, who was no longer a jedi, from palpatine, meaning he thought she was a threat still and she IS. she’s up there with obi-wan in terms of attachments anakin has. the action is truly epic (though i do have to say the maul ahsoka fight was better). the fact that ahsoka and rex didnt just leave the clones there and they dug graves for them. the shot of ahsoka in her cloak in front of all the helmets painted like her face on sticks will be burned into my brain forever. vader coming down to the planet himself much later and finding and igniting one of the sabers he as anakin LITERALLY remade for her. just the image of vader holding a blue lightsaber is going to be the death of me. a literal representation of who he was. it’s too much. it’s too much for me to deal with. i started crying as i was typing this. also when you look closely you can see his eyes through the helmet lens. it hurts man. (possibly) morai flying away as this happens. man, star wars can be good. 

Supernatural 6x20 The Man Who Would Be King - ok so i know the question said year but man has show really defined my like last two months. as for this eps specifically, im predictable is what this says. i like tragedy and unhappy endings. i like gay angel. i like self-aware narration. i like reflection. i like the moment before it all goes wrong. this episode is the literal point of no return for s6 cas and i want to scream. it’s like when anakin cuts off mace windu’s hand. “but cas, youll call right? if you get into real trouble?” “and the worst part was dean, trying so hard to be loyal.” “for a brief moment, i was myself again.” “wonders never cease, they trusted me again.” “of course, i didn’t realize it at the time, but it was all over, right then, just like that.” “the big lie, the winchesters still buy it. the good cas, the righteous cas, and long as they still believe it, you get to believe it.” “it sounds so simple when you say it like that. where were you when i needed to hear it? / i was there. where were you?” “you know the difference between you and me? i know what i am. what are you, castiel? what exactly are you willing to do?” “i believe it’s what you would call a... tragedy from the human perspective... i’m asking you, father, one last time. am i doing the right thing? am i on the right path? you have to tell me. you have to give me a sign, because if you don’t... i’m gonna do whatever i... whatever i must.” like are you kidding me. not to talk about star wars even more but like. when rots novel said “the blurred line between our best and our worst” hhhhh. this makes me crave a 150k fic from cas’ perspective in season 6 where we see all the terrible things he’s doing for his well intentioned plan and how he keeps digging himself in deeper and deeper until it’s too late. and if i had the skill and time i would write it. alas.

runner ups: billions 5x05 contract (the epic lows of hearing taylor say they wanted to fire winston, the epic highs of 4d chess theory. the shitpost memes i immediately made. did not make the list as i made it a requirement that i actually enjoy the content in my winners list). supernatural 15x18 despair (lost out to man who would be king because i Care Cas, but i will never get over cas going out the way he came into this show; calling dean OUT on his bullshit).

9. Best month for you this year?

bro who can even remember the months. ok i just looked at my calendar and i guess i’ll say may. i finished up my spring semester the week before. clone wars finale aired then and billions season 5 started airing which was a “fun” time. had a job. things were alright.

6, 14, 21, 26, 66, 69 (nice), 86

hehe Nice & Thank You

6) describe your personality in 3 words or less

i’m implicitly including the fact i can’t be Concise / to the point by cheating & using a lot more than 3 words in this answer to frame my answer. talking way a lot or not at all with no inbetween sure is part of the All or Nothing but also Both quality i could describe here. lmfao where’s that post like “im a dumbass but also a genius but not, i contain multitudes but also i don’t” etc....anyways even though maybe i’m supposed to List Adjectives i’m still good with the 3 Word “A Bit Much” summation of my own personality. not particularly meant to be self-critical but re: the idea i’d be tldr Describing my personality for someone else lol

14) if you can live anywhere in the world where would it be? why?

that’s a great question b/c i’ve never had cause to seriously consider it & i haven’t exactly gone to that many places. once i was like “would i want to give the west coast a shot (which i have never been to)” & now i’m like “no not really.” sticking to the east coast i suppose. ig i have an “and if i had to pick a specific city to jump to” idea but that hasn’t yet become Relevant

21) sandals or sneakers?

i appreciate both but i like sandals better, easier to put on / doesn’t require the whole extra layer of socks, i like warm weather better than cold...

26) how many pillows do you sleep with?

just the one but i’ve never experimented much w/ My Ideal Sleeping Conditions pillow-wise. i’ll just Have some pillow & be using it.

66) have you ever won a spelling bee?

the only time i ever participated in anything even attached to a spelling bee was once in middle school where we just did this Elimination selection to pick a few ppl to then actually enter whatever spelling bee was going on. i won but i was involved in a Show my ballet studio had going on which like, a rehearsal was scheduled for whatever saturday the next round of spelling bee stuff was going to happen, so i didn’t go. so No lol

69) do you play an instrument?

we had a piano at home growing up & when my sister was 6 or 7 or w/e our mom who was fairly Piano Proficient was teaching her, & b/c i was 3 years younger & clueless & had the “whatever you’re doing seems cool can i try that too” 4-year-old sensibility i started to learn at 5 or 6 or w/e as well. this would eventually involve Having to practice for half an hour every (week?)day, which was a lot, so it was pretty quickly a huge chore & i hated it but on principle it took like 4-5 years before i stopped being Obligated to keep at it. i never Got that Good that i would say i can Play The Piano to the extent it’d be at all useful to anyone, but i know How & i knew How to read sheet music for it & also when in 4th or 5th grade we did a like monthlong Piano unit in music class i breezed though it. once i had access to an accordion & picked up a v simple song from the like, disintegrated Sears-provided music book in its case, kind of funny but v unwieldy instrument. that’s all, my sister & brother both were in orchestra playing violin but i’d learned from the piano debacle & just did the non-music, non-language electives in middle school. pretty fun

86) what is your phone background?

it’s this picture of like 80s miss piggy from idk where

i saw it like “haha epic” & am one of those theatre / ppl / gays who is big on the muppets & i also just never change wallpapers / lockscreens or anything lmao

[kachinnate]

how does alana feel about jared and evan "dating"? do her thoughts change over the course of the story?

!!! great question , i think it rlly truly depends on how big of a role the relationship itself plays in terms of their story[tm] and/or how public/secretive it is.... and also like if their weird pining tension later down the line is making it difficult for tcp operations to go down 

i assume that the ‘relationship’ isn’t public public just because like..... heidi and jared’s mom Don’t know about it initially, and it’s not like jared and evan are performing rituals like at their houses where no one [except their parents] can see them sdjhgnskdg but at the same time it’s like..... lowkey Heavily Implied to anyone who isn’t them and is confirmed to the murphy’s + eventually alana.... kinda feel like evan Definitely doesn’t want to tell anyone outside of just the murphys bc even then that was an accident, alana probably figures out via zoe again mentioning it offhandedly or just jared telling her deliberately under the reasoning of like “u made it a part of the story evan and she’s literally Working with us [in tcp] it’s probably like information she should know too” and evan freaks out bc in his mind alana knowing for sure is basically Everyone knowing bc he kinda has the misconstrued idea that she is just going to Tell everyone (and by putting it on the website later she kind of Is, but not like through gossipy/ill intent) 

alana knowing + zoe being like “u and ur bf’s relationship is weird.” is probably what makes them proceed with “we need to be more obviously dating”.. and they start acting like it more all of a sudden which makes alana  “🤨”, and then when she casually mentions somewhere on the website they’re dating evan like Freaks out like “that’s our business you can’t just put that out there people are bigoted we’re trying to keep it private!” with alana knowing full well that they Are Not “”private”” about it all re: them kissing before the assembly and being seemingly v public abt it in person To Her Knowledge 

also re: jared being included adds even more inconsistencies than just evan being included: “how could you and jared have been there with connor the day you broke your arm when jared said he’d been at camp all summer? why did connor kill himself when he was getting better supposedly and had TWO people supporting him?? also really weird that connor signed your cast and jared didn’t until after connor killed himself when you’ve apparently had your cast on for a while (also now that i’ve thought abt that how the hell did u break ur arm end of may or early june and still have the cast on in september wtf)” and considering half of one of these questions was enough to make evan lash out canonically he probably is. goin thru it. also also post!her recieving the note, despite being desperate for something to Use she’s probably also like “...so he signed his suicide note to just you despite it seeming like he was close to you and jared? isn’t that strange? does jared Know about this have you shown him 1.) if you have then shame on both of u from keeping it from me too and 2.) if you haven’t ... that’s kinda weird that ur showing Me before u show ur bf” but ofc those thoughts probably don’t get articulated as much bc she’s on her funding the orchard mission at the moment 

evan and jared starting to get weird @ each other as time goes on before everything falls apart only fuels alana’s Confusion to what in the world their relationship is and she definitely probably asks more than once if they’re like breaking up or something  asfsdgksg and they both have different weird answers as to why they’re acting like that when she possibly asks them individually which could be passed off as ‘oh, they just don’t communicate w each other well yikes’ but it’s like.... weirdly awful to watch them uncomfortably hold hands and then get told off by one of them when she asks like “No we’re Definitely in Love! Mind Your Business” it all just seems Fishy 

tldr; she doesn’t give their relationship more than a side-eye until it Literally becomes her business, and once it does she realizes how fuckin weird it is
