Jumpstart is a character-driven slice of life, containing drama and romance. It's mainly inspired by the show 90210 and the movie Mean Girls.

You had multiple sticky notes on your bedroom ceiling, bathroom mirror, and any other surface you were able to get it on.

How to be rich by 21:

1. Survive high school Survive the final year of high school 2. Move out and get a pet (finally!) 3. Become rich and famous (should be easy enough...)

This list has followed you ever since your eleventh birthday when you were suddenly bombarded with the dreaded question:

‘What is your dream job?’

Quite frankly, you didn’t dream of labour. At least not the regular kind. Call it psychic, but you knew you were destined for the easy life, filled with copious amounts of wealth, relaxation, and travels. You were are special.

Seriously, you had everything set out for your 'rags to riches' story:

You weren’t the most popular, but you also weren’t eating lunch alone in the school bathroom. ✔️

You made sure to work a part-time job, starting from the age of thirteen, so it would be easier for future fans to relate to you. ✔️

You were on your way to being crowned ‘Most likely to be famous’, which would have made for the perfect moment on ‘The Late-Night Phil Show’.✔️

Everything was going to plan… until it wasn’t.

Not only did your mother decide to marry some wealthy businessman, but she also packed up all your stuff and moved you hundreds of miles away from your home that screamed ‘humble beginnings’ and into a five bedroom (minimum) mega mansion.

Oh, and public school? Forget about that. From tomorrow on, you’ll be one of those rich private school kids. Goodbye 'rags to riches' background, and hello nepotism allegations.

Though, that’s a problem for future you...

Right now, you’ll have to adapt to school life the way the people at the top of the food chain do it. 

Get ready to ‘survive the final year of high school’ filled with gossip, betrayal, romance, angst, and social drama you could’ve sworn only happened in movies and TV shows.

Jumpstart is rated 18+ as there will be mentions of sexual themes, drugs, alcohol and violence.

Choose your MC's name and gender.

Decide your MC's personality, clothing style, and much more.

Get involved with 1 out of 4 romanceable characters.

Climb to the top of the hierarchy at Maplewood Private School.

Jumpstart your way into the life of stardom and wealth.

Isaiah/India (m/f) 'the high school worldwide heartthrob':

You could’ve sworn you saw them gracing the red carpet in some of the hundreds of magazines stashed in one of your moving boxes. Child of the famous celebrity make-up artist, Naomi Lawton and basketball star, Sean Lawton. Wanted by many, yet only successfully claimed by A. Though, judging by how many people I can be regularly spotted with, it begs the question: Does I care?

Appearance: Sepia skin tone. M! has short coily black hair, mostly styled in cornrows and decorated with some silver hair jewellery. F! has long bleached coily hair, currently styled in waist-length blonde braids.

Alison/Anderson (m/f) 'the school's number one':

Not quite like the ones in movies… they’re somewhat nice? At first, they can be straight-up vicious, ripping apart any and every little detail they can get their hands on, but once you earn their trust, you’ll learn that behaviour is much more of a façade than a true reflection of them.

Appearance: Olive complexion with sprinkles of freckles on their nose and cheeks. M! has short curly ginger hair that loosely hangs over his forehead. F! has shoulder-length ginger curls and bangs.

Tegan (m/f) 'the estranged childhood best friend'

You were eight years old, when their family decided to move someplace else, ripping your, what you thought to be inseparable, bond into two. At the start you tried to keep up, exchanging letters almost every day… then weeks… then months if anything, until complete silence. You’re not sure who stopped sending them first or when even, but one thing’s for certain: you were no longer friends. No, after ten years, you definitely weren’t.

Appearance: Brown skin tone. M! has black buzzed hair. F! has straight, waist-length black hair.

Levi/Leighton (m/f) 'wherever they go, trouble follows aka the school's bad boy/girl':

For someone with a big reputation, there’s next to nothing that can be found on them. And all your pestering questions are met with nothing but warnings, yet you can’t help but grow more curious about them with each passing encounter.

Appearance: Tawny skin tone, though you can’t help but notice the faded scar tainting their otherwise clear left cheek. They have wavy brown hair, reaching down to their shoulders.

Reblogs are more than welcome and thanks for reading!

Imagine: Waking up Derek from a Nightmare

***Spoilers from the movie! I will try to limit it ************* Imagine: Derek having a nightmare (no proof reading sorry)

you told Derek Not to Eat Cheese before bed! it always Gives him nightmares. And Derek isn't like a typical Guy. who if they have a nightmare they other hug their pillows try. a few whimpers. and move around. but Derek. you have Shot out of bed after hearing him Growling. in his Sleep, ruined pillows from his nails Digging into it so tightly. and he's Very Sweaty when he's having a nightmare. sweating so much that you are forced to wash them in the morning. Last time he had a nightmare. you weren't expecting him to put you into big bear hug. and tangled h's legs around you and arms squeezed you tightly. you didn't sleep that night between him squeezing you so tightly you could barely breath. to him rumbling and softly growling in your ear. you had to wake him up. after 3 hours. of trying to escape his grip. thankfully he doesn't have nightmares as much anymore. they settled down after a few years together

But Stupid beloved Derek! the Love of your Life. had to hav a snack before bed! And it had to be cheese! your family convinced you that they give you nightmares. No scientist proof but you were convinced that it was the truth. So you always stir away from Cheese. and you try to make sure he doesn't eat it before bed. But Derek didn't put much faith in the superstition in your family's belief. had some cheese.. you cursed at him for having cheese. which Derek mainly did to see you get annoyed at him. he loved annoying you.

it was Late at night and Derek Flung from the Bed cursing loudly as he looked around the room. seeing Everything was in place. the room was Tidy minus the Chair of Doom that he called it which always is full of random junk. both his and yours. the photo of him and he's beloved on the dresser, next to the photo of him and Eli , next to the photo of you pushing Derek face away as you hug Eli tightly at his birthday a few years ago. Derek loved that photo. Eli loves you almost as much as he does. the lights were off and the sky was still dark as you spoke softly, "I told you No cheese idiot."

Derek had tears in his eyes as you reached over rubbing his back, pulling him back down as you wrapped your arms around him "what was it?"

"Lydia Left Stiles."

you rubbed your face on his chest getting a bit comforter on the bed as you squeezed him tightly, " I'm pretty sure that if that was the Case.. Stiles would Probably hold her prisoner.. I mean what was that saying he said when we were- well I was a kid."

"I'll be her second husband. because the first one mysteriously disappeared." Derek added as you chuckled as you nodded your head, "I talked to Lydia this afternoon. she was about to tell Stiles she was pregnant." Derek smiled brightly as he wrapped his arms tightly around you as he spoke, "The Nogitsune was back.'

"and Stiles turned into void again?" you questioned but he shook his head, "no- No but it was something abotu.. it turning into a hybrid werewolf thing... the dream is- im forgetting it."

like most dreams you forget most if it once you wake up. you kissed his bare chest. "I'm pretty sure the Nogitsune can't be more then what it. remember when Scott had to bite Stiles cause it cant be a fox and a wolf? just a bad dream."

"I died... I Died."

that made you move as you asked how as he said , "sacrificing myself to save everyone." could see him doing. you shook your head, "you Try that and I'll bring you back and lock you in the basement myself. you aren't leaving us." he smiled as he spoke, "Alison was alive. and I was helping Eli with his gifts.'

"How did Alison look? still 15?"

'No.. she looked older. it was weird."

"because you ate -" you were coating him to finally accept the truth.. Cheese before bed gives you weird nightmares.

"bad dreams.. yea.. yea. thank god that wasn't real."

"God could you imagine if Lydia just broke up with him? that poor bastard. would- we would probably have to watch him for like 48 hurs or something to make sure he didn't do anything stupid."

"Eli got the Jeep.."

"Stiles would kill our Son! he would fully murder him. and us for letting anyone touch that piece of junk."

you both laughed softly at that idea. seeing Stiles losing his Mind seeing someone else Driving his Jeep that he was forced to keep up here. cause he's work forced him to have a 'black vehicle" and he's light blue jeep was not acceptable. and his parking lot can only hold 2 cars. and between his and Lydia's the jeep had to be up here.

"he would kill us Alll."

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE ACTOR BILLY BOYD.

Born on August 28th, 1969 in Glasgow,as early as 16, Billy Boyd appeared in a local musical company’s production of Hans Anderson, Billy Boyd is an actor and musician perhaps singularly best known for his role as the hobbit Pippin in The Lord of the Rings film trilogy.

Both his parents died when he was in his early teens, a year apart. Along with his older sister, Boyd was raised by his grandmother. He worked as a bookbinder for seven years before finally pursuing an acting career.

Starting his acting career, as I often post here, Billy appeared in the popular Scottish Police show Taggart, as well as the Lord of the Rings, and their follow up films, The Hobbit, the talented Boyd also wrote and performed the song “The Last Goodbye” from the movies. Billy also made a cameo appearance in the first series of Still Game. He played the part of Davie in the excellent film “Sunshine on Leith”.

Outlander fans will know Billy from his role in the show as the local lawyer in Cross Creek.

Billy has a home in Glasgow and married his wife, Alison McKinnon at Oran Mor in Glasgow’s West End in 2010, they have a son, Jack.

Billy has been in the movies, Walking with Herb and An Intrusion, as well as guest appearances in NCIS: Hawai'i and Doom Patrol. Billy will seems to be picking up parts in US TV shows here and there, voicing a part in The Legend of Vox Machina last year. Again I will mention the Glasgpwset film I feel Fine is still"in development" A minis series Washington Black is also a projecthe has been workingon.

Billy recently commented that he refuses to take scripts which mock Scottish accents, calling out the “stereotypical” treatment of Scottish accents in the film industry, saying jokes about not understanding it are “overdone”.

Boyd has claimed that he will refuse any script which employs the trope where the accent is incomprehensible, something he says that always pops up in the roles he is sent. Boyd went on to say;

“I hate people saying they can’t understand what I’m saying … As a Scottish actor, every script I get that’s got a Scottish character in it, there’s always the gag that somebody can’t understand them. Always.

“Anything I do now, if that gag’s in it, I say I won’t do it. The gag is overdone and not realistic. It’s just like, stop being stereotypical, you know? Just because someone has a different accent.

“So for the writers who write that gag, I apologise when I lose my mind in the writing room. It’s just that I’ve read it so many times.”

Saltburn: A Ticket to the 'Why Did I Even Bother' Zone, or How I Nearly Aged Prematurely

reading time: 4 min.

"We’re all about to lose our minds," I muttered. The cold wind swept through the deserted street as I stood before the old cinema in my hometown, its faded sign barely discernible against the dimming evening sky. Leaning against the cracked concrete wall, I stared blankly at the poster on the entrance, announcing the latest blockbuster. "But wait, the movie's already been out for four months," I thought to myself, hardly surprised they hadn't taken it down yet.

The poster showcased a kaleidoscopic image of the cast from "Saltburn," the latest film by Emerald Fennel, a renowned director known for her previous work, "Promising Young Women." Despite the dramatic display, my gaze remained disinterested, unimpressed by yet another Hollywood spectacle. It visually reminded me of "Everything Everywhere All at Once," a film I appreciate along with the poster's artist, James Jean. However, as I scrutinized the poster, my mind wandered, unraveling the film's plot with a critical eye. Each scene played out in my imagination, increasingly clichéd, as I mentally dissected the storyline and characters. With a resigned sigh, I pushed away from the wall, already thinking of watching the movie on my laptop from some available sites in the comfort of my home.

Saltburn, a film delving into a pathetic obsession with identity or just another narrative exploiting the eat-the-rich trope? I doubt this movie will capture your interest, despite its stunning filtered visuals reminiscent of "Call Me by Your Name" and a talented cast. The movie's narrative is obscured by an atrocious font, which would saltburn(ed) even your eyes. In one scene, we witness the main character, Oliver Quick (played by Barry Keoghan), discussing his relationship with Felix Catton (portrayed by Jacob Elrodi). Oliver, a walking conflicted contradiction, professes his love for Felix while simultaneously denying being in love with him.

We're introduced to Oliver's one-sided obsession with Felix at Oxford in 2006. As the story unfolds, Oliver becomes increasingly desperate to get close to Felix, fabricating a tragic backstory to maintain his proximity. He even hooks up with Felix's girlfriend in an attempt to further infiltrate Felix's life. When both Felix and his girlfriend become wary of Oliver's fake poverty act and clinginess, Oliver manipulates Felix by feigning his father's death, eliciting pity. The movie portrays Felix as a wealthy, naive individual from a long line of affluent families, suggesting that he may attempt to rescue Oliver from his fabricated misery. This leads to Felix inviting Oliver to their Saltburn Estate for the summer.

During Oliver's stay, his obsessions lead to erratic and messy behavior. He begins to exert control over Venetia (Alison Oliver), Felix's sister, by flirting with her and showing his not-so-twilight-Saga-Edward-Cullen vampiric tendencies. Let’s just say, this behavior doesn't sit well with Felix nor Farleigh (Archie Madekwe), the Catton siblings’ cousin, who witnesses Oliver's nightly activities and then shares them with Felix. Oliver manipulates multiple members of the Catton family, including persuading Lady Elspeth (Rosamunde Pike) to believe false accusations against her friend Pamela (Carey Mulligan). When Oliver confronts Farleigh, he threatens him with banishment, but ends up engaging in giving Farleigh a handjob. But hey, do not ask me why suddenly Oliver thought that would be the most effective way to threaten Farleigh. In the end, both characters are sent away from the estate. However, Felix eventually discovers Oliver's lies, leading to Oliver hitting rock bottom. The movie fails to adequately showcase Felix's realization of Oliver's lies, making the plot twist unexpected but ultimately nonsensical.

Oliver's psychotic breakdown culminates in him killing Felix in the estate's garden maze on Oliver's birthday. Unable to be with Felix, Oliver adopts his identity and proceeds to eliminate all members of the Catton family. He orchestrates the deaths of Venetia and Lady Elspeth, manipulating them into suicide and murdering Lady Elspeth on her deathbed. Sir James (Richard E. Grant) dies after Oliver's departure from the estate, following the killings of the Catton siblings. Towards the movie's end, Oliver confronts Elspeth, ultimately taking over the estate and obtaining all its assets. The director's choice to reveal Oliver's entire plan near the end seems unnecessary, as the audience is already aware of his obsessive nature from the beginning. I think having been spoon-fed this plan of his wouldn’t change anything we were already aware of, hence the uselessness of this scene. Additionally, the portrayal of Oliver's depraved mind through graphic scenes, like his bathtub snack time or the grave scene, feels gratuitous and fails to add depth to his character. While these scenes generated attention on platforms like TikTok and other social media, they didn't effectively convey Oliver's uncontrollable obsession and desire, meaning instead of creating such useless scenes focus on the uncontrolled-individual-with-undeveloped-two-dimensional-personality that was portrayed there. The fame this movie received on social media, underscores a lack of understanding among mainstream audiences regarding the level of cinematic gore depicted in certain films. As evidence, you should not even dare look up the summary of the plot to "Titane" by Julia Ducournau.

Overall, I'd give this movie a 2 out of 5 stars. While it touches on themes of desire and obsession, the execution falls short. Despite some memorable moments like Jacob Elordi smoking and Archie Madekewe singing Pet Shop Boys' “Rent,”, which is cinema on its own, the film largely feels like a two-hour agony. I won't be watching movies from our old cinema again; the disappointment in modern filmmaking isn't worth the wrinkles on my forehead. For this portrayal of British classicism in the 2000s, I recommend streaming the movie on Amazon Prime Video.

Honestly what fascinates me most about the Hocus Pocus 2 teaser is that it unintentionally shows how normalized witchcraft has become for teen girls since the first film.

Like, these two girls casually say they're going to do a ritual for the one girl's birthday, at school, in a Disney movie. They put that up front in the trailer. And they mentioned a witch gets powers on their 16th birthday.

I mean, Alison got called a white witch for using a salt circle in the first film, but for the most part witchcraft in Hocus Pocus was associated with devil worship. We've seen this massive cultural shift since then, with The Craft and Practical Magic and Harry Potter and Witchblr, even Disney's own Halloweentown series and the resurgence of the original Hocus Pocus, and it's interesting to see Disney acknowledge that.

For many, witches represent female power, with the Sandersons becoming so iconic, in spite of being evil child murderers, in part because of that. So perhaps this sequel will tackle that and show some young women learning to harness that power responsibly.

I'm interested to see where they go with this angle. Will our young heroines try to save the day with white magic, or will they regret that their spell summoned the sisters and swear off magic? It could really go either way.

JUST A CRAZY ROUGHNECKS DAUGHTER:

life isn’t much of anything when you’re the middle of 11 kids. on the farm it was early to rise and early to bed, everyone had a chore and unfortunately doris, the eldest of the kids, was given childcare duty more often than not. but the perk of being the middle of 11, is the ability to disappear. her father only cared about three (four) things; god, farm, family, whiskey. her mother followed a similar path and well...granny jo wasn’t the best idol according to her mother. and so ida decided to carve her own way in the world.

you see, the thing about being number six of eleven means you get exactly zero attention. and so you go seeking your attention elsewhere. and ida found that attention in the arms of bobby perkins. she was fourteen, him seventeen, and ida was smitten from day one. he talked her up, picked her up at the bonfires when she snuck out of the house, and promised that he would take her away from eastern tennessee. and then she graduated at 17 (a year early because to everyone’s surprise ida was actually quite intelligent), and took her to the majestic land that was florida.

living in a trailer park as bobby developed a bit of a following with his promise of love and freedom, and god-fearing community, ida realized just how much she liked the spotlight. she liked when people fawned over her, when they showered her with affection, and when they believed the words that left her mouth. it was easy work for her, talking to people, making them feel heard, inviting them in to the group. this was what she was made for.

but bobby didn’t like it. he didn’t like that others started to love ida more than him, that she would say something in opposition to him. always sweetly, always veiled as compliments and adoration for him. and so he came up with the plan to dump her, to leave her stranded, to get her away from his life, his goals.

and then suddenly ida was back on her parents front porch, saying she’d been accepted at ogden with a full ride, that bobby was still in florida and she had no idea what happened to him. and then she kissed her mother and father goodbye and moved to new hampshire for her future.

JUMPED HEADFIRST INTO THE WATER:

starting college as a freshman at twenty came with a whole list of questions. she answered them easily, she needed time between high school and college to get some real world experience. she wanted to travel, to work and save her money, but she always knew she would go, and that ogden was the place.

and then a year later greer started, and ida zeroed in on her. she was perfect for ida’s ego, for her life to befriend such a golden girl. to whisper words of wisdom. but soon greer, either seeing through ida’s facade or just over it altogether, gave ida the cold shoulder.

but she was undeterred, continuing on her merry way but always keeping an eye on the campus golden girl. she laughed when others needed the comedic boost, gave out compliments to those who needed it, and offered her support as needed. but it just isn’t enough is it?

BAPTIZED AWAY MY SINS:  

looking forward, ida is hoping to continue to apply herself. charming anyone and everyone she can, collecting people in her pocket for when she needs them, making loyal friends and followers. currently she’s applying to master and phd programs, including the one at ogden, to continue her studies. and she’s keeping her eye out for the golden girl, curious to her disappearance, though a bit thrilled in the mystery. ida would never turn down the drama, and is not above going the extra mile when she’s a bit bored.

GREER:

ida entered college at age 20, with too much real-world experience it seemed. everyone was so boring at ogden, making problems out of nothing, feeding each other’s egos. and yet, ida knew what she could tap into while she was there, the wealth, the connections, the power. everything she needed, what she had never had. and enter greer, a beautiful eager girl with everything ida needed, everything she wanted to be. and so she quickly took to her side, hoping to offer friendship, advice, to mold her into the person that ida needed her to be. and it seemed to work for a while, greer maintaining her own self but still ida could clearly see her influences. until it stopped completely, greer icing her out of her life in one fell swoop. and in less than a year, ida went from building her empire and future on poor little greer, back to nothing. still she kept her tabs on greer, and she knew greer did the same. they acted polite and kind in public, a weird relationship of knowing each other but not really. ida played it off, acting as if greer was but a younger sibling to her. but to everyone else it was just an odd friendship that didn’t survive the test of time in college, nothing more and nothing less.

THE SIREN:

she pulls you in with her sweetness, but only when it’s too late do you realize her true colors. like sirens drown the sailors, ida isn’t afraid to take-down anyone she feels deserves it. Whether it is valid or not. she doesn’t care who it is, and sometimes she does it just for fun. breaking the hearts of boys and girls, dragging people's names through the mud, spreading a rumor to take them down completely. whatever it takes, she’ll do it. for her safety, for her entertainment, it doesn’t matter much to her. but even now, four years later at ogden, people haven’t seemed to really pick up on it. let’s face it, she won’t hesitate to push you in front of a bus, and will quite successfully convince you it had been an accident and she had been trying to save you from the bus.

okay okay, my aftersun thoughts. going to do some spoiler free ones and then some more spoiler-y ones below a read more line. overall i really liked it and will probably watch a second time eventually just to see if i catch anything i didn’t the first round. 4.5 stars from me (-:

- if you like the musical fun home you would love this i think. i saw a lot of bruce and alison in calum and sophie.

- the editing at the beginning was a bit headache inducing, and same for the strobe light moments that pop up throughout the movie. totally understand the purpose/symbolism, just not my personal vibe.

- i think i love kid/childhood centered movies so much bc it blows my mind when kids are like- really good actors. this little ‘poppet’ as she’s called in the film was incredible. i want to see her in more things.

- there were a few things that felt vaguely confusing/plot holey which i’ll get more into under the cut but it was nothing bad enough to fully take away from how much i enjoyed the film!

- the directing/cinematography was beautiful. there’s one moment esp where you can only see them in the reflection of a tv that really got me.

- this was my first paul mescal film and i thought he was great! divorced dad trying to dad™️ is one of my favorite tropes of all time and he didn’t let me down.

SPOILER-Y THOUGHTS UNDER THE CUT

- i’m glad they didn’t go in a more sinister direction with the teenage (young adult?) boys. i was worried they might and definitely saw an opportunity for it but was grateful they didn’t.

- i fully thought the girl in the club was sophie’s mom, not sophie, until like an hour ago and thought it was flashing between them bc calum was seeing her turn into her mother and it scared him. i was, apparently, wildly incorrect in that interpretation LOL. but the last dance scene is still beautiful nonetheless, even if a bit too heavy on the strobe lights for my taste.

- the first time i cried was when the resort singer whipped out unchained melody…hi e!

- was digging around film twitter and apparently ppl are pretty split on if calum is gay but personally i did get that vibe.

- the fun home ring of keys vibe with sophie seeing the two guys kissing and the scene almost right after of her as an adult waking up next to a woman got me down baddd. my favorite moment right under the final dance scene. and the happy birthday scene. and the phone booth and the- okay i’ll stop now i liked this movie if you couldn’t tell.

- re plot holes i just felt like we never got a full picture of what was going on with calum that was making him spiral? i feel like more context as to why things didn’t work out with sophie’s mom would’ve fixed that. back to the gay!calum theories.

- i went in completely blind except for the synopsis bc i didn’t want any spoilers and there were multiple times throughout the film where i thought calum was going to die or kill himself. but maybe that’s just my anxiety!

- sophie reminded me sooo much of little me. the wearing a bikini under your clothes to feel like you’re wearing a bra. starting to see your dad as infallible. being enamoured with older kids. the scene where the older girl gave sophie her resort bracelet made me so (,: another one of my favorites.

name: kaasknot, short for kaa's knot. yes i am a freak—but let it be known i picked this name well before a/b/o existed. call me kaa

star sign: JIF natural crunchy peanut butter is best, but i'll accept skippy as a substitute if, for example, there is a salmonella recall,

height: 5'10.5". the half inch is very important to me.

time: is an artificial construct of industrialization and i wish it didn't exist

birthday: labor day

favorite bands/artists: i hate these questions. currently listening to duke ellington, johnny cash, lord huron, indila, and a variety of movie soundtracks. honorable mention to batushka, ethel cain, and four fists.

last movie: buster keaton's Go West, which is heart-warming and absurd beyond belief. with a surprise helping of shockingly racist! but at least that was short-lived, and not entirely unexpected for a movie made in 1925. do watch if you want to see a lonely man befriend an outcast cow, that same man run through the streets of los angeles wearing a devil gimp suit, and can turn off your brain for approximately 1 minute during the organ grinder sequence.

last show: last one i remember clearly was Bridgerton, but that absolutely wasn't the last show i watched. star trek, probably

when did i create this blog: 2012, riding the wave of loki thirst

what i post: mostly reblogs, specializing in memes, shitposts, and whatever fixation du jour i happen to be snorting. currently, that's buster keaton, with flourishes of star trek, supernatural, and band of brothers. burned out on star wars and marvel, you probs won't see any of either for a while

last thing i googled: jake shimabukuro's ukulele cover of "while my guitar gently weeps"

other blogs: ehhh they exist but i don't actually use them. everything i post online goes on this blog

do i get asks?: occasionally. i don't usually know how to answer them, so i ignore them and feel awkward about it

following: smth like 400 blogs, most of which are inactive

average hours of sleep: 7.5 if my cat cooperates

instruments: singing, whistling, very rudimentary piano, even more rudimentary ukulele

what i’m wearing: clothes

dream job: i simply do not dream of labor.

dream trip: i don't go places unless i have good reason. family obligations, to see friends, and/or to go to a convention are usually why i travel

nationality: american

favorite songs: idek i'm just gonna name songs i've played a lot in the last few days. "have you checked your butthole" by tom cardy, jakub józef orliński singing "vedrò con mio diletto" (basically on repeat), "hell's comin' with me" by poor man's poison

last book i’ve read: last book i actually finished was Camera Man, by dana stevens. it was a biography of buster keaton. currently i'm in the middle of reading Buster Keaton: A Filmmaker's Life by james curtis, Keaton by rudi blesh, and Buster Keaton's Sherlock Jr., ed. andrew horton, an essay collection analyzing one of his movies (i know i have a condition, it's terminal). other books i'm reading are Madam: The Biography of Polly Adler by debby applegate (1920s prostitution), Rank Ladies: Gender and Cultural Hierarchy in American Vaudeville by m. alison kibler (what it says on the tin), The Myth of Prison Rape: Sexual Culture in American Prisons by mark fleisher and jessie krienert (basically saying that rape exists, but not using the definitions of civilian society; extremely interesting read), and The Ukulele Handbook by gavin pretor-pinney and tom hodgkinson. i am actually reading all of them, but it's going pretty slowly.

top 3 fictional universes i’d like to live in: star trek for sure. i read a lot of crapsack world scifi, tho, so that's it.

survey by supremequeenstyles

Did you get enough rest last night? I never feel like I get enough rest.

What was the last thing that kept you awake? My own brain.

If you have pets, do they sleep in your bedroom at night? There is usually at least one cat in our bedroom at night. Either on the bed, in the cat tree, or in the closet on top of Mark’s set of drawers. Sometimes all three will be in there.

Can you sleep with background noise or does it keep you up? I need white noise.

Do you ever take naps? Do you take long naps or little power naps? Naps usually fuck me up.

What helps when you have trouble sleeping? Playing games on my phone, particularly a coloring app.

Who was the last person to cook you a meal? What did they make? Mark made us tacos last night.

Who was the last person you cooked a meal for? What did you make? I helped make tacos (lol) for Mark’s mom’s birthday a week ago.

Who is your female celeb crush? (If applicable) Aubrey Plaza, Alia Shawkat, Alison Brie, Natasha Lyonne

Who is your male celeb crush? (If applicable) Will Arnett, Pete Davidson, Harry Styles, John Mulaney

Tell me about an interesting article you’ve read recently. I read something about Pete Davidson’s new show Bupkis. It was an interview with Edie Falco, who plays his mom. They talked about the first scene of the show and EEK. I am excited and scared ahhaha.

Do you have a favorite Marvel character? Bro I don’t know the difference between Marvel and DC outside of Batman.

Favorite DC character? Hahah ^. It’s Batman.

Do you read comic books? Sometimes.

Who has been your favorite actor to play Batman? Will Arnett hahahah.

Who has been your favorite live action Joker? Heath Ledger always and forever.

Has a horror film ever actually scared you? Which one(s)? I don’t like jump scares so anything with a jump scare has technically scared me.

What was the last horror movie you saw? It’s not something I seek out but the last one I watched was Bodies Bodies Bodies if you wanna call that horror.

What was the first horror movie you remember seeing? What did you think of it? The Ring, if that counts.

Name a few historical figures you find interesting. Why? That’s not something I really think about.

What is your favorite historical film and why? Meh.

Do you usually enjoy historical films? Not typically.

Name a sequel film (any franchise) you like better than the first film. Why is that? I can’t think of anything. Clerks 2 kind of comes to mind only in that is was more in the realm of “raunchy” mainstream comedies and also had a higher production budge, but the original Clerks is so near and dear to my heart.

Which tale from whichever mythology you listed above do you find most interesting? I have to brush up on the stories. I haven’t read any since high school.

Who is your favorite Muppet? Fozzie Bear.

What is your favorite type of bird? Cardinals.

Which streaming platform do you use the most, if any? I don’t really feel like there is one I use more than another, honestly. I guess I rotate depending on what I’m watching. Like, right now I’m watching Arrested Development on Netflix, Barry on HBO Max, and SNL on Peacock. Oh, if Spotify counts as a streaming platform, then definitely that since I listen to music on it every day.

What is a skill or useful piece of knowledge you wish you’d learned sooner? How to take care of myself better.

What is your favorite vampire movie? I don’t have one.

Your favorite fictional couple? Angela and Dwight from The Office or April and Andy from Parks and Rec.

Oh, my ex told me she would see me here.

7. 

If our dumbass friend is doing something dumbass, we are doing that dumbass thing, too, because we are dumbasses.

8.

A BANK OFFICIAL, standing in front of Dedire, pulls his collar as he eyes the porcelain dolls about the room. They seem like each one is staring into his soul.

9.

There’s a cat waiting to pounce when we stop dancing. You see, I’m allergic to cats, or cads, whatever you call ’em.

10.

Snape thought briefly that he might be dead and this was his own personal Hell even though he sort of enjoyed seeing Petunia cry. The situation was all too laughable and miserable at the same time...Maybe the Catholics were right about Purgatory being real?

11.

Haru: Tohru, tell your bf to accept this secret passionate love for Yuki and join the new Yuki Fan Club.

Kyo: I said replace me with her, dammit! Not add her and not get rid of me!

Tohru: Kyo, please, honey, just accept your secret passionate love for Yuki. Also, thanks for adding me guys! Kyo has been complaining about this group chat for over an hour, and I wanted in so bad, but didn’t want to just invite myself.

Virgil ripped his arm out of Remus' grasp.

"Scaring people is my thing, Snidely Whiplash," Virgil retorted.

MC: Oh, um, I didn’t mean it

Dan: Ah, well, I did

MC: Stop, you’re making me feel bad for you

Dan: Good

Wait...I forgot I'm the author of this fanfic. I can just go inside his head. Let's do that (not literally, though, I get a little woozy when it comes to organs).

15.

Today really was a Happy Birthday, wasn't it? Molly thought to herself while jamming to music in her car. I can't wait to get home and tell Toby all about it.

16.

"Another time, I forced everyone to listen to Kidz Bop instead of original songs, claiming they were more Good Place friendly as you do. Another time I said the only people who make it to Heaven are the ones that love the movie Citizen Kane and refuse to watch anything else, so we kept watching it repeatedly as you do. Another time, I forced you to retake French, which I know you hated in high school, cuz I had Janet put a French filter on Chidi's voice...as you do," he rambled off.

"You know adding 'as you do' doesn't make it better...especially as NO ONE DOES THOSE THINGS," Eleanor said, now standing, and looking at Michael accusingly.

17.

His eyes began to water. He slid off the chair next to her. He pulled her into an embrace. She stiffened as he buried his face in her hair that hung near her neck and over her shoulder. His tears were hot as they soaked her sleeve and hair.

18.

Jane attempts to put her hands on her hips, but there isn't room. Instead, she sticks them in her armpits.

19. 

"But I-I," Meg stuttered. "NO BUTS! I want you to think about how disrespectful you've been while were gone," Juliet retorted. Olka belly laughed and whispered, "Butts!" Astrid kicked her sister in the shin.

Everything I learned or experienced from watching the commentary track for “Community”:

*deep breath*

The Pierce writing the Greendale song subplot had a darker version cut by NBC.

Pierce helping Troy with sneezing had a cut Chevy line: “you used to be the big man on campus AND NOW YOU’RE A JOKE.”

Chevy Chase seems to not know what ecstasy is.

Dan Harmon definitely is familiar with it.

There was a shooting at the school they filmed the debate scenes at which put the cast and crew into lockdown. 

Joel McHale received emails from church groups regarding the content of his “Man is Evil” debate.

Donald Glover hits on Yvette Nicole Brown in a Barack Obama impression.

Chevy Chase loves being behind a piano.

He also loves doing prat falls.

He improvised calling his beastmaster owl “Abed” in Introduction to Statistics.

Jack Black filmed his episode in one day.

Annie having sex with a guy, him revealing himself to be gay, and her never seeing his genitalia was drawn from Alison Brie’s life.

According to Dan Harmon, Slater is supposed to be the Jolie to Britta’s Aniston. 

Dan Harmon was worried people would think he was ripping of Funny or Die with Jeff and Slater’s relationship declaration form.

The cast of Derrick Comedy is Pierce’s joke team in Romantic Expressionism. 

Yvette Nicole Brown came up with the Burt and Ernie tag.

Craig Cackowski is on the show because his sister wrote for the show.

JUST MY OPINION, but Chevy Chase and Dan Harmon seemed quite appreciative of each other in the first season. 

The “Goldbluming” joke was a big point of contention between Joe and Anthony Russo.

I can’t confirm... but it really sounds like the show killed a frog for Britta’s prank. 

The Starburns - Abed chicken scene was an intentional homage to Heat.

Abed and Jeff are both cut off from people according to Dan Harmon. The difference is that Jeff can manipulate people and Abed covets that ability.

Jeff and Britta had sex in Modern Warfare partially to make the episode important to the overall story’s structure (in addition to it being the first real high concept episode).

Abed wears a Boondocks shirt because Sony owned it and it was free to use by the show. 

Dan Harmon does not respect Good Will Hunting as a movie.

The “so it begins, the greatest relationship ever known” kiss took 30 takes.

Betty White did not know Toto’s Africa before filming her rap.

The music budget for the second season was entirely spent on Abba music for Epidemiology. Dan Harmon paid out of pocket for the Sara Bareillis song they use in Paradigms of Human Memory. 

In Calligraphy, Gwynnifer is named after Dan Harmon’s twitter “nemesis”. He confirmed it is a code name for Britta, who had been hooking up with Jeff since the space bus. 

Dan Harmon repeatedly refers to Jeff and Britta as the inverse of Jim and Pam from The Office.

Bruce Hornsby was supposed to punch Pierce in the season one finale. 

Chevy Chase was upset with how cruel Pierce was in Advanced Dungeons in Dragons.

Levar Burton changed the line from “more fish for Levar” to “more fish for Kunta”.

The joke of the tag where no one says anything to each other while they surf their phones is supposed to be that it took place on Britta’s birthday, but the writers realized that it was the wrong time of year. 

Dan Harmon paid for that Sara Bareillis song because it was set over the first Jeff x Annie shipper video he had seen. 

The dean’s cartoon tag exists because Paradigms of Human Memory is somehow the only episode that came in UNDER expected time. 

At the end of Competitive Wine Tasting, Abed was supposed to hear a gunshot coming from Stephen Tobolowsky’s office after proving Angela was, in fact, the boss on Who’s the Boss?

Yvette Nicole Brown calls Gillian Jacobs “Stinkerton” for some reason.

No one on the commentary was happy with the Jeff calling Annie “kiddo” scene in Geography of Global Conflict. Actors, directors, nobody. 

Chevy Chase told Maggie Bandur that she shouldn’t write comedy. 

Dan Harmon tweeted as all the characters for #AnniesMove.

Dan Harmon realized the sound was off to Abed and Troy’s Christmas Rap while doing the commentary.

Dan Harmon said a lot of the planning in season three was about minimizing Chevy’s contact with the cast and crew.

Gillian Jacobs said she didn’t move much in Virtual Systems Analysis when Abed wasn’t supposed to be inhabiting her. (My opinion: none of the other characters seem to follow her rule.)

Alison Brie raps on set a lot.

Gillian Jacobs was in an Apple PC commercial that never aired. 

Dino Stamatopoulos repeatedly requested to be killed off the show.

Jim Rash’s stand-in was bronzed to fill in for Danny Pudi who was absent while his wife was having twins. 

Jim Rash was in and out for a bit while winning an Oscar for The Descendants.

Dean Laybourne was self-conscious about his appearance to justify John Goodman’s appearance for another movie. 

Moses Port said the opening of season four was supposed to be a fake out to make people think the show suddenly sucked.

Annie’s The Ring entrance was filmed backwards then run in reverse.

Britta’s ham costume had to be recolored to prevent her from looking like a scrotum. 

Intro to Knots was originally supposed to be filmed in one shot as an homage to Rope. The first two minutes was all they managed to get through. 

Gillian Jacobs says Troy and Britta have nothing in common.

According to Dan Harmon, Chevy Chase was happy to do his scene in season five and was open to coming back for more.

According to Dan Harmon, even if he wanted Chevy Chase back, Sony would have refused his return to the show.

Jonathan Banks told Christopher McKenna that he would “punch him in the heart” which Dan Harmon wrote into the show. 

It is all butt confirmed that Annie is the Ass Crack Bandit.

Advanced Advanced Dungeons and Dragons was so behind schedule that it totally rushed/altered the season five finale. 

Dan Harmon says Jeff shares things with Britta that he doesn’t with Annie but feels things for Annie that he doesn’t with Britta.

Dan Harmon and Paget Brewster were good friends before she joined the show.

Frankie’s backstory is that she is moving to Colorado to take care of her handicapped sister.

Chang is actually gay.
