Yes folks, I've gone full paranoid Dipper and spent 4 hours compiling every word that outputs an answer. I've also ordered them alphabetically and put a content table for easier navigation.

PLEASE REBLOG OR DM me with the words I've missed, I've currently hit a brick wall and I'm slowly but surely going insane... I'll be uploding it and polishing it as events unfold.

If Cody had a normal person job he’d work as something really boring at a really cool place. Like accountant at a spy agency.

ANALYZING SPIDERVERSE BACKGROUNDS- PART TWO!!!!!!!!!

The insanity doesn't stop

This time, we're going to be looking at into the spiderverse, specifically this scene (sorry about the weird cut at the ending, I accidentally zoomed in/out lol)

Which I have gone through frame by frame..

For fun. You can see what he's doing for the most part, but I needed to share my thoughts on it.

(It's mostly me being a homosexual though... happy pride month)

ANYWAY

Nothing important here really I just think this little sequence of him drinking is cute. Also WHY IS THE CAN CLIPPING THROUGH HIS HAND THAT POOR GUY THAT CANNOT BE COMFORTABLE LMAO. Also what the hell is going on with his laptop who needs that many tabs open. Loving the laptop + PC combo. This boy uses so much electricity...

Awwwww look at him. He needed a little light because his blind ass couldn't see to write his invisible notes (Me too Ganke, me too. What are you writing about though why is it so important it has to be on paper and cannot simply remain a computer file? Are you doing homework.... at this hour?)

Also he has the same getting up/sitting down sequence!! I think that's cute too, and it's probably just the animators being lazy and not wanting to animate a billion different ways of sitting down, but, hear me out; OCD Ganke. Now, I don't know much about OCD, but I do know that people who have it tend to repeat the same behaviors/patterns every day for every single activity. This could also explain the three of the same hat thing he has going on. Now, that's just a silly little headcanon to play with, so don't take it too seriously.

Also, WHERE THE HELL IS HE GOING??? AS FAR AS IM AWARE, THERES OBLY ONE DOOR TO THEIR ROOM. THE DOOR TO THE HALLWAY.

Is his ass really getting up to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night (courtesy of his one billion energy drinks) amd leaving the fucking door OPEN?? BUDDY? YOUR ELECTRONICS ARE RIGHT THERE DIRECTLY IN SIGHT OF THE HALLWAY... AND YOUR ROOMMATE IS SLEEPING THERE.... WHAT ARE YOU DOING.

Hehehehehehehehe aww look at him putting his headphones on I wonder what he's listening to. Also who texted him it's like 12am rn. GO TO BED (He checks it twice. It's 15 close friends reminding him to go to bed. He responded "I'm asleep dw" to every single one)

Look at this EEPY FUCKIN GUY. OH he is so SLEEPY if ONLY there was SOMETHING he could DO ABOUT IT. Oh what's that? Put down the energy drink can and turn off my computer? What a ludicrous idea who would have ever come up with that. Pff. Psch. Apffttr. He looks like the bottom of a sting ray in that middle photo. Someone get this kid a break and also some fucking melatonin. And water. Stat. He's like a plant. Put him outside.

Oh, look, he's finally decided to ditch his uniform that he's been wearing all day and get into something more comfy. Not the hat tho. The hat stays on every second of his life. Oh well at least he's probably a lot more comfortable. And would you look at that hes.. still wearing..... his shoes. B.. buddy you... you know you can take those off right. It's okay I promise. You got this. Is he barefoot in those too. Is he still wearing the same damn pants from before.

ALSO HIS NOTEPAD MAGICALLY HAS WRITING ON IT NOW!!! SOMEBODY PLEASE DECODE THESE MYSTERIES!!! IM SO EVER VERY CURIOUS

Do you think that while making his cup o noodles in the microwave he was playing music too loud and forgot to hit the stop button before it beeped and he just... kinda froze.... and looked up at Miles (who is sleeping like a fucking bear during the peak months of winter in hibernation. Not even a fucking jet engine could wake that boy up) and then kinda just awkwardly resumes what he was doing. Because I do. I do.

(ALSO, this is the second time his phone lights up. He does check it, I'm just not including it for sake of space)

ALRIGHT APPROACHING THE END OF EVEEYRHING I CAN SQUEEZE OUT OF THIS SCENE!

What is he doing in that first Pic. Clearly whatever he wrote down was important, but, like, is his computer updating? Is he just checking to make sure he input something correctly? What is this boy doing somebody please give me a 2 hour movie or a 500 page novel just on him immediately thanks

He's finally taking a brain break and... relaxing by reading comics. Not sleeping, no. Oh god no. But looking at comics. This kid has autism you cannot convince me otherwise. Who does this if they don't have some form of neurodivergency. Please bonk him on the head cartoon style for me I love him.

Awww he cleans up some of the floor (stuffs it under his bed to be dealt with months later)! PLEASE, THOUGH, THE WAY HE FUXKING LOOKS UP AT MILES I CANNOT STAND HIM WHY DOES HE LOOK LIKE A CUTOUT THAT SOMEONE TRIED TO HORRIBLY PHOTOSHOP INTO A PICTURE HE DOESNT BELONG IN WHY DOES HE LOOK LILE HES FLOATING.

Also as you can tell by his million energy drinks and now empty and just juice cup o noodles, he doesn't clean up after himself ever. Maybe instead of buying a fourth computer, we invest in a trash can for your dorm. Hmmmm? Silly boy. I love it when they give teenagers teenager habits. Please give me more of this.

This may not be 100% accurate, but take a look at how many energy drinks he goes through in one night.

The first clip is at the beginning of the scene, where most of them are unopened while there are already still five open ones (I can't figure out how to get the best picture of how many drinks there really are here while making it a collage... anyway). Since we don't see the beginning of the night, we don't know how many drinks Ganke has had prior to now, or what the interval he drinks them at is.

At the end of the clip, there are an estimates 12 open drinks total. One on the floor, two(?) By his comic, six by the right side of his computer, plus three on the left side of his computer. That means he drank 6 energy drinks in the span of however many hours we watched him for.

Bro has a serious caffeine addiction and needs to be grounded from money. ALSO, HES DRINKING THEM WARM??? BRO..

And I know that they are energy drinks, because, well. One, just look at them. Two, how do we think Ganke manages to stay up all night doing God knows what for hours on end. We didn't even ever see him go to bed! He's still on his computer when Miles wakes up! Bro pulled an all nighter and for WHAT. BUDDY. And three: the design on the cup literally reads "ENRGY" bottom text "drink"

Dude

Bro

Water

Please.

Drink it.

Also them having part of their schedule on the wall is so cute too!! Do they share classes? How many? Also that says Ceramics. As per my first post of this series, if you look at the horribly lopsided bowl beside Ganke on the bed, that looks a lot like something someone who struggled in arts would create.

Who is that someone?

Well, it's not Miles. We've seen his art.

Is

Is it Ganke?

Ganke the nerd? The Ganke among the most gifted students at Visions? Ganke who pulls all nighters and picks for on his computer often?

Hell yeah. Give him pottery. He brings home lopsided mugs and bent in bowls and dented plates for them to use instead of buying their own dishware, and Miles is so supportive of it even through the kettle he was using had a hole and leaked boiling water all over his hands. He's doing his best, he's not good with crafts. Give him a break.

I love this and them so much. He's my guy. PLEASE BRING HIM OR 42 GANKE BACK IN BTSV SONY PLEASE I AM ON MY KNEES BEGGING FOR MORE GANKE CONTENT I CANNOT KEEP LIVING OFF OF SCRAPS LIKE THIS PLEASE!!!

the nhl is so funny bc they will go great lengths to protect people accused of sexual assault or domestic violence, but they really draw the line at drugs and gambling, which is like.... isn't that WHAT your player assistance program is for? if anything..........

[une-sanz-pluis]

Contrary to popular assumption, Pope Boniface IX did not retrospectively render the Beauforts legitimate in the eyes of the Church when their adulterous parents eventually married. His apostolic letter explicitly states that he declares legitimate any offspring ‘received and to be received from this marriage’ [of Gaunt and their mother]: prolem ex hujusmodi matrimonio susceptam et suscipiendam (my emphasis). The Beauforts were born before their parents’ marriage.

I saw ANNETTE CARSON's article??? Their history is different from what I know. If Beaufort had not been legalized, why would Henry IV have deprived them of their inheritance rights? Why was Suffolk imprisoned during the reign of Henry VI on charges of wanting to inherit the throne?? I know this lady's paper is not very reliable, can you explain it?

I'm assuming you're talking about Annette Carson's self-published essay "The Beaufort Legitimation", which I couldn't do more than skim read as I could actively feel my braincells die as I started reading it. I'm never read Annette Carson's work before, mainly because her reputation as a crank has always preceded her (my lack of interest in Richard III also helps). This... does not convince me her reputation is unearned.

So: if a historian with a dubious reputation suddenly declares they have proof of something that upends a centuries-old accepted fact, they need some really good evidence. Carson does not have really good evidence. She has nothing new. Her "proof" is the assertion that the translators of the Calendar of Papal Letters have translated the letter legitating the Beauforts wrong and she (who, as far as I can make out, is not a trained historian), has translated it right.

I can't read Latin so I can't comment on her translation work and honestly, I think her argument is so specious that I don't think it's worth bothering my friend who does. I will note that both Carson and the Richard III Society insist she is the only one to have translated Mancini's De Occupatione Regni Anglie (again, self-published by her) properly so it seems like a trend.

I also wonder why, if the evidence is as clear-cut as Carson says it is, why no one has ever questioned it before this. The Beaufort's legitimation has been the subject of some pretty intense scrutiny, both because of what it meant for the Tudor claim to the throne and because of it's connection to the love story of John of Gaunt and Katherine Swynford. The explanation cannot be "Tudor propaganda" or "historians are too dumb to recognise the truth" or "historians are actively covering it up" because those are deeply unserious explanations.

It also just does not make sense. Why was there the "mantle ceremony" performed in parliament when the Beauforts were legitimated if they weren't actually legitimated? Why does Froissart state the legitimation of the Beaufort children was a motivation for Gaunt's marriage to Katherine? Why did no one make plain that the Beauforts held no rights to the throne at an opportune moment? As you point out, the marriage of Suffolk's son to Margaret Beaufort raised fears he was trying to effectively claim the throne for himself. Why did no one point out that the Beauforts had no claim then? How do we explain why Henry Tudor was seen as a potential threat by the Yorkists? Why did Richard III make no use of this to nip support for Henry Tudor in the bud?

And why doesn't Carson discuss these things? Probably because it would undermine her argument and because she has no explanation for it beyond asserting that the Lancastrians and Tudors covered it up, though there was little reason to.

Her other "proof" is a highly speculative argument about Richard II and John of Gaunt's motives and relationships. It is... not good. Her bias against Gaunt is also very clear, especially since she characterises him primarily as a covetous villain. There's a lot of things here that people who specialise in Richard II's reign would take issue with. It's a very simple narrative that demonises Lancaster and sets the stage for the Glorious Yorks Correcting A Terrible Wrong. In other words, it's the prequel to the Ricardian view of the Wars of the Roses.

We don't know what Richard II really intended when he legitimated the Beauforts. Likely, it was a reward for Gaunt's assistance in the Revenge Parliament. We do not know that Richard was always planning to banish and disinherit Henry (which I believe Carson gets from Ian Mortimer - if Mortimer told me the sky was blue, I'd need a peer-review before I believed him) and that he would have never, ever have allowed the Beauforts to be in the line of the succession because he hated Gaunt that badly.

Here's some things we do know. The story Richard banished Henry for life is only, iirc, found in one account with a clear Lancastrian bias so it was probably not true. We know that he did not attaint Henry or his line - I believe there is some evidence that Richard left the possibility that Henry and his heirs could claim the inheritance open. IMHO, it seems likely that what Richard was doing was using Henry's absence as an excuse to take the duchy lands into his own hands and grant them out as he pleased in a similar way that a king could hold lands while the heir was a minor. We also know Richard had a positive relationship with Henry of Monmouth, the future Henry V, and it is entirely possible that Richard was doing this with the intention of having a Duke of Lancaster that was loyal to him. In short, the picture is a lot more complicated than Annette Carson allows.

The theory, although novel, fits in a certain pattern. Ricardians have been salivating over the thought that Henry VII had no real right to the throne for a very long time now. They've promulgated theories that Catherine of Valois's Tudor children are secret Beaufort bastards based on such poor evidence like "they had a border around their arms!" and "Edmund Tudor has the same name as Edmund Beaufort?!" They've theorised that John Beaufort was actually Hugh Swynford's son and not John of Gaunt's and thus the Tudors had no right to the throne because they had no royal blood. They've declared the Beauforts to be Not Lancastrian because they weren't descended from Blanche of Lancaster and then brought up the story about Edmund Crouchback being the elder son of Henry III as proof that the Beauforts had no right to the throne at all. They happily point to the story that John of Gaunt was a changeling because it means neither Lancaster nor Tudor had a claim to the throne... a

There is not a shred of real, definitive evidence for any of this. All of it is just a Ricardian fever dream of speculation upon speculation that basically comes back to the same old thing: proving that Henry VII had no right to the throne, none at all, and Richard III was wronged!

Deeply unserious history.

[deadpanwalking]

In your opinion is there still space for new authors (that don’t write YA) in the publishing industry?

I'm guessing you mean the traditional publishing industry. I’d be a hypocrite if I told you to burn down the Big Five publishing houses that take up space in your head, but you gotta understand that in addition to the shit that’s always been wrong, there’s a now a huge labor issue on account of the buyouts and layoffs last year, not to mention that the recent layoffs in the journalism industry = less book coverage = less publicity = fewer sales = more layoffs of editorial staff.  The chances of you getting a fair shake with that crowd any time soon are not great. Mind you, this is provided you’ve already locked down a literary agent who either likes your shit or thinks it will sell (birth of first child<the purple 😎 on QueryTracker when you get Offered Representation).  In any case, if you’re pitching literary fiction, get acquainted with reputable small presses, micro-presses, and indie publishers—some take unsolicited manuscripts if you aren't repped.
