I've been trying to put into words how I feel about the Ned situation, and I just can't get over how stupid it was. Like, we joke about John Mulaney building his personal brand around his wife, but the wife thing was never his only joke. It was just the one we liked best. At the end of the day, John Mulaney is still a talented comedian; he can make other jokes.
Ned Fulmer without his family is actually, legitimately nothing. He has destroyed almost everything he has spent the past ten years building, and what isn't destroyed is irreversibly tainted. There's no way you're going to be able to watch old Try Guys videos without making a stink face every time he pops up onscreen, because, again, the wife bit is basically his only bit! He did this to himself!
And it's just like... it's just so stupid, and so pointless. You built a wildly successful entertainment company with your best friends, you were being showered with gigs and opportunities, book deals, TV shows, a full length documentary movie, and you take all of that, years and years of not just your work, but the work of everyone who loves and trusts you, and you flush it down the toilet because you just... I don't know. I guess you just can't help yourself.
I'm disappointed, but it's not a "my God, what a monster!" kind of disappointment. It's an "Oh, that's it? That's all you are? Huh" disappointment. I'm not shocked or horrified. I'm just mildly disdainful and, honestly? Bored. I am bored by the person that Ned Fulmer has turned out to be. Like, this dude could have been a baller and an example to all men, and instead he chose to be an unremarkable, garden variety scumbag. What a stupid thing to choose.

A thought
Many would assume that fae and demons would be allies, since they both share similar goals of manipulating, tricking, and making very one sided deals with humans. However, they are actually more like competing predators; two very different species occupying the same environmental niche and in a constant struggle for the same resource. That being mortal souls.
Demons and fae are natural enemies, not in a good vs evil way, but in a much more real and grounded wa. They both want control over mortals, and neither group is willing to concede to or cooperate with the other, and we should be glad of that, for if they were to put aside these differences and work together humanity would be, for lack of a better word, fucked.

i love the way instagram, in between posts of wounded and dying palestinian children from people i actually chose to follow, recommends an endless stream of zionist threads. just in case my carefully curated echo chamber of people who agree that genocide is bad was giving me too much hope for humanity, i guess.

what chess piece represents you?
the black knight.
you are a black knight, the black sheep, the underdog. as the only piece that can jump over others, you can easily get yourself in and out of situations - always catching people off guard with your charisma and cunning. you move in the shadows, trading information with shady people, getting the upper hand through not always good methods. how far do you think this road can take you? for all your charisma or cunning, lies can only get you so far. one day, that mask you've put on will slip, and you'll be left defenseless. but until then, oh black knight, live like there's no tomorrow - because there might not be.
