Trying to find a bit that Ed likes is proving to be a royal pain in the ass 😩

❌ no french links because he doesn’t like the tongue pressure

❌ no lozenges because he doesn’t like how thick they are

❌ no rubber mullens/happy mouths because he doesn’t like how thick they are

❌ no metal mullens/barrels because he grabs it and tanks off

❌ no single joints because he doesn’t like the nutcracker action

❌ no hackamores because he doesn’t like nose or poll pressure

At this point if I can’t get my hands on a nice copper roller with rings I’m gonna put him back in a waterford because that’s what he likes the most but I feel so bad because I KNOW it’s such a shitty mouthpiece but he likes playing with the ball links so much 😩😩😩

Something new for my patreon today, merch previews! I made a bunch of fun stickers for the local con I’m tabling at, so I figured I post them up on my patreon first. I’ll probably share some photos of the full designs publicly closer to the con, but I felt like it made sense to hold off sharing any of the art publically until people can actually like. buy them lol

so go check out my patreon if you wanna see the full art of these stickers! https://www.patreon.com/mayorofcattown

There’s animal crossing cats as actual cats, monster hunter rise palico and palamute (because I have an embarrassing amount of hours in that game lmao) and an updated version of this morgana sticker

I am planning to sell all of these online later (esp if I end up with leftovers from the con) but it will probably take a bit to figure out the logistics of shipping from downunder lol. I’m currently thinking I’ll do a soft launch just shipping to aus + nz and then ship worldwide once I’ve worked things out more, but I’ll get reprints if anything sells out so ppl hopefully won’t miss out even if things take a while to organise!

NMTDaily: A Wild Hero Appears

- It makes me a little sad that Bea tweets out this video with “meet the prettier version of me”. You’re beautiful in your own right, Beatrice, and I don’t think Hero would want you to compliment her by putting yourself down. This moment starts to show Beatrice’s insecurities, in a very teenage-girl way. It feels very accurate to that time of life for sure.

- What’s interesting, though, is that this tweet, where Bea thinks of herself as less pretty than Hero, is a direct parallel to and reversal of the moment in a future episode when Claudio tells Ben who he likes (Hero), and asks what Ben thinks of her, and Ben says he prefers her cousin, naming no names. These lines are adapted from the play. Now, I’m not going to say it’s good or ok for the guys to be comparing the girls to each other, even unintentionally, and of course Beatrice has to develop her own self-confidence outside of what anyone else thinks of her. But it is very sweet that at the time she makes that self-deprecating tweet, Beatrice already, unknown to her, has someone who looks at her before anyone else, who always thinks she’s the prettiest girl in the room. It’s just that even he doesn’t know it yet! Ben has thought Beatrice was gorgeous since long before he could admit it to himself, and that just makes me happy.

- I bet Hero’s “you’re not so bad looking yourself, Bea” is her answer to the tweet. She’s too sweet even to directly address it.

- Hero reading TFIOS is so incredibly 2014. (I can also tell she’s an actress and isn’t actually reading it right now because she’s that far into the book and she isn’t SOBBING. I’ll never forget how hard I cried and I’m not afraid to admit it.)

- “Hero it’s Darcy on a horse” being the thing to get her attention is hilarious and adorable and how many Jane Austen Movie Nights do we think she and Bea have had? Definitely some!

- Hero is adorable and we love her enthusiasm and many many video ideas 😆

- there are so many amazing quotes in this episode. “room tour. room tour. ROOM TOUR”; “I am very proud of the witty capabilities of 3-in-the-morning me” amazing.

- Bea is starting what’s essentially senior year in April at a new school. That has to be stressful. Good that she seems cheery about it. I’m sure she’s not at all worried about who else is in her classes…

- Now I want lemonade! Lol. But US lemonade for me. Research is telling me that NZ/Aotearoa lemonade is just basically lemon soda, like it is in the UK, as opposed to the US lemon juice + water + sugar situation. I hope Bea gets to try US lemonade on her travel year. It’s so good when it’s good.

- the Hersula origins! “She’s so lovely I catch myself wanting her to insult me” 💕

- Shoutout to the NMTD Fandom Revival Discord for catching the fact that Bea’s line “what is this cake even for” is a reference to the TARDIS cake Ursula shared on her tumblr, showing that Ursula and Hero surprised Bea with the cake for no reason at all, they’re just that sweet and lovely!

- A brief aside: Ursula’s tumblr has been lovely. She’s posted lots of desserts including one that she said is her dad’s specialty, so now I headcanon that she likes to bake because it’s something she and her dad do together. Ursula lore!

- Poor Meg. It’s tough to be an early bloomer, and you can tell the girls know they shouldn’t be making fun of her for it. I’m glad Hero told Bea to stop, but she was still going along with it and was the one who said the “Queen of Scream” line. We know they’ll learn, though.

- I also notice the link to Ursula’s first video in the description of this episode is now broken and goes to a page that says the video doesn’t exist. Fortunately VOX POPS is alive, well, and next in the playlist. Interesting how links break over time.

- This episode is apparently from before the characters start answering YouTube comments, I checked the comment section. That’s something I’m interested to see whether the NMTDaily emails will highlight, because I remember the characters’ comments being very fun to read! Good for immersion too!

- I’m embarrassed to even admit this, and I blame growing up without cable tv or video games, but I’m just now realizing this title is a Pokémon reference. This show was always even nerdier and more full of pop culture references than I realized! Excited to see if I find anything else I didn’t get before!

misc. tag game

thank you for tagging me @blood-mocha-latte :)

a band you don’t like that many others do:

definitely Ocean Alley (i don't like their music and their most recent scandal was...interesting. also a guy i used to like but who ended up being a racist LOVED them so i have viscerally negative reactions whenever their stuff plays)

a childhood memory that you remember vividly:

i have a terrible memory, but the thing i remember best is taking our dog around the garden so he could get used to it when we first moved in, and he dug up 23 bones which the previous owners dog had buried around the place.

least favorite animal and why:

CRABS, I FUCKING HATE THEM

hot fandom take:

none, i just see bob stuff and i generally like it. although i do dislike the (not very common) infantilization of the actors or the version of the real life men they're portraying. it's just not something i personally agree with but it's not that big a deal

do you were any jewelry, if so, what’s your favorite piece:

i love rings and necklaces, but my favourite piece is my great-great grandmother's engagement ring which i inherited through my great grandmother. its gold and engraved with cool designs and a ruby and some diamonds.

a movie others liked but you didn’t:

the greatest showman. i detest that movie so much and im possibly a little dramatic about it.

three things you love about yourself:

i like my taste in wine

i really like my hair right now (just got it cut)

i like that i have such an active and extensive imagination

a place you hope to visit in the future and why:

ireland :) my family has a lot of connections to it

an actor that gets on your nerves and why:

jared leto <3

things you’re excited for in the nearby future?:

joining the tramping club at my uni this year (in nz we use the word tramping for hiking im not that strange i promise)

least favorite ship in a fandom you’re in:

legolas/gimli, i just think their story is cooler if its them working through several millennia of racial hate and enmity to become best friends to the point where they want to spend the rest of their lives together. the romance angle just overshadows that for me with them.

what’s the most toxic fandom you’ve been in?:

okay this is quite niche but its funny to me, the girlfailure community on instagram. like those people who make semi-ironic accounts posting about unhinged esoteric books or ideas, astrology, societal/cultural expectations, and religious interpretation of thoughts. its a load of bullshit but its so fucking funny to read and its mostly sarcastic (i think) so i don't feel bad for enjoying it.

list three things you find beautiful about life:

my mother, especially learning more about her and how she interprets life. i've realised recently that we're extremely similar despite having wildly different upbringings. she's also the best person i know.

new zealand :). nz is very isolated with a diverse range of biomes, there is such a large amount of untouched land that you could drive from the southern alps through farmland and native bush to the coast in about 3 hours.

cooking while listening to music!! i love it.

any dreams for the future?

completing my law and arts degrees and going on to do a masters in the uk somewhere.

how are you really feeling today?

extremely tired lol, i've got a doctors appointment tomorrow because it's been going on for several weeks.

tagging (no pressure):

anyone who wants to do it! i forgot i had this tab open so i think everyone's done it. if not, feel free to say i tagged you or something :).

[mikalame]

hiya!! i love ur writing smmm! (not sure if u'd done this already) but, i was wondering if u could do a fic or hcs w/ manzini & how he'd have a relationship w/ a fem!reader who wasn't from america or denmark (italian, french, mexican, swedish, etc), and maybe reader teaching him stuff abt their culture? (sorry it's so speific)

again, i love ur works sm & their amazing! pls never stop writing :D<3!

np hope you likee!!!

taglist: @oppopotamus@violentnewmarley@adissonsss@saumspam

be a bit scared to try some of the food from your culture but will try it and then instantly like it and beg you to make it all the time

loves hearing stories from you childhood and then saying stories about him to you

love when you invite him to the family dinner and he can talk your family that have lived there thier whole life

if you have traditional clothes that you wear alot he'll try and get the male version of it to match with you

or if you have traditional markings like Polynesians designs (cant help it im from NZ lol) he'll doodle them or get things for you with those things on them

if you do a prayer before food he will ALWAYS let you do it whether your with friends or at him family's house

will ask stories like those legends and he will pay the utmost attention to you when talking about it (he loves it so much)

Will ask how to say things like greetings, things to introduce your self with and bad words of course

will watch all the childhood shows you watched as a kid and will sing the really catchy songs at random times (loves when you join in)

Sorry this was so short i have really no engery at the momnet for writing im so sorry 😭

[daenystheedreamer]

can you talk about your modern au some more? I really like it...

i dont have a coherent modern au but i have lots of thoughts lots of connections.... i love greyjoy mafia i think thats so funny. theon's identity is sooo informed by his being a hostage of the starks so i rarely do any AUs where theon and robb dont grow up together, usually in a fostering situation. some versions i like having asha be like 17 and emancipated but she doesnt want to/cant become theon's legal guardian, and some where she does raise him (in a latchkey kid way. but they have a council housing apartment)

idk if the usa has council housing? it's a thing in the uk(council housing), aus(public housing), nz(state housing) where its essentially affordable housing subsidised by the government for poor people and usually in the form of tower blocks/concrete high rises. they were part of my childhood social milieu and something i grew up around, and idk it just rlly fits as a setting for characters like the greyjoys.

also ive got a couple lines of an au where theon is relegated to keeping watch on the greyjoy money laundering restaurant and robb starts going cos he doesnt realise its obviously money laundering. like lights are all off and the meals are frozen and no ones ever eating there and if they are its a bunch of criminal old men talking about Da Family Business. theon's there to microwave the frozen meals and he's like UGH when will i get to assassinate someone like asha -_- and now theres this redhead moron coming in everyday to eat shitty cacio a pepe di ironborni. wait scratch that. squid ink pasta lol

idk if that answered your question 😭 anyway hopefully i can pump out a modern au for theon week (either i miraculously complete JRT in a week or in a fever i write the high school au where theon and robb scam their way into prom king and king for the $50 IATC diner voucher)

[taskmastersource]

hello! i was wondering, is there an international version you would recommend watching after uk and nz? thank you!

hey!! i would recommend kongen befaler (norway), somehow health and safety rules don’t apply there so something get set on fire each episode and the dangerous use of power tools lol. i adore the s1 cast. the official youtube channel seems to be uploading the episodes here

bäst i test (sweden) is great as well. a bit different as it follows swedish telly more and it’s kinda chat show like? idk how to exactly describe it, but it has 4 regulars and new guest each ep, which makes team tasks equal lol and have live tasks in the middle of the show. youtube links: (s1) (s2) 

stormester (denmark). i need to get back into this but the episodes i’ve seen are very fun. no prize or team tasks however, but i don’t really miss it here in this format. youtube s1 

[catbells-and-summerlinens]

Oh my god, I'm sorry this took so long to get to and thank you to my lovely lovelies @merryfinches, and @scorpiostarseed for the tags <3

Last song I listened to: This gorgeous lil classical playlist. (I can't wait til it's warm enough to lay out and read on a blanket in the field across from my place like this...)

Favourite Colour: Soft, dusky purples and greens.

Currently Watching: I'm so deep in the Taskmaster hole at this moment (Madeleine Sami in a tux for hours of television...help.). Just finished Taskmaster NZ Season 2, and am all caught up on the original British version as of today. Outside of that, X-Files rewatch and lots of video essays on Youtube. Comfort stuff, mostly.

Sweet/spicy/savoury: Ohh, so mood-dependant. My favorite combination is salty/savory + sweet. Chocolate-covered pretzels are a must, and you'll always find me putting some sea salt over any cookies or brownies that I'm making. Cheese + fruit is another one, I love putting fig spread on a grilled cheese.

Relationship status: Together with someone for a very long time.

Current Obsessions: Pirates, duh. Zaddygate. Taskmaster. Spring starting in earnest soon so I can do more outdoor things. Nail stickers. Ginger peach iced tea. The recent total solar eclipse (can't stop thinking about what it looked like and trying to really etch it in my memory).

Last thing I googled: "wwdits movie streaming", was indoctrinating a friend, it worked.

I think I'm gonna hold off on tagging because I'm sure many of you have already done it since I'm so late to the party, lol. But if you see this and want to play, genuinely consider yourself tagged. <3

My month in mysteries (January 2024)

Thought I'd start a series of posts, rounding up all the mystery media I consumed at the end of each month! Here's what I watched and read in January 

TV

The Gone

NZ crime drama that sees an Irish detective travel to NZ to work with a local cop when an Irish couple goes missing. It's a decent enough show, though I figured out the culprit very early on, but that's fine. I liked Acushla-Tara Kupe as the NZ cop a lot and the touches of Māori culture. I hope it gets renewed, though, because it ends on a cliffhanger lol

Something Undone

Haven't finished this one! Canadian show about true crime podcasters investigating a cold case. Loved the atmosphere and cinematography, but I found it very difficult to follow and I feel like I missed something somewhere 

Deadloch

Brilliant! Wrote a review post about it here

Fargo

After nearly ten years of being on my watchlist, decided to finally watch Fargo, so I can watch the newest season. I know it's an anthology, but my brain won't let me watch things out of order, even in cases like these. I've only watched two or three eps, though, because I'm finding it difficult to get into :\

The Tourist (season 2)

This is stretching the parameters of this blog a little, but it *is* a mystery haha anyway, I enjoyed it a lot, though I was sad to leave Australia behind. Still, Ireland is gorgeous, and Jamie Dornan and Danielle Macdonald are just wonderful together. If you like dark humour, I highly recommend it!

I also started re-watching Grantchester and Vienna Blood

Movies

Where the Crawdads Sing

This is the kind of thing that should be right up my alley but it just fell flat for me

Maigret

I'm not overly familiar with Maigret—I've never read any of the books and the only other adaptation I've seen is the one with Rowan Atkinson some years back—but this was okay. Fairly subdued, but the costumes are great!

Invitation to a Murder

A little period murder piece in the vein of Agatha Christie (though not as good), that is inexplicably set in England when most of the cast seems to be American. But it was diverting enough and I'm pretty easy to please when it comes to period murder mysteries. I would 100% watch a series of Mischa Barton's character solving murders!

Miss Willoughby and the Haunted Bookshop

The titular Miss Willoughby has a friend who is plagued by the ghost of her dead father and she sets out to get to the bottom of what's going on. Feels a lot like some of the Hallmark mystery movies, but maybe a little nicer looking. It's not a murder mystery, but still has those cosy vibes I love. Again, I'd watch more—it's a very easy 'switch brain off' kind of watch, which I need sometimes

I also re-watched The Last of Sheila, which is just brilliant

Books

Lay Your Sleeping Head by Michael Nava

This is the first in the series of the Henry Rios mysteries (or the rewritten version of the first, which was originally titled The Little Death), which sees Rios, a gay, Latino criminal defence lawyer thrown headlong into a tangle of murder, amongst other things.

I thought it was really well-written and I enjoyed the protagonist a lot! It felt similar to Joseph Hansen's Brandsetter novels and Richard Stevenson's Strachey series—closer to the hardboiled tradition than cosies, but I love both types of detective fiction equally.

[leeyanyanyaaan]

(kinda a re-intro, but i'm also looking for moots ;w;)

hi there! i've kinda been on tumblr for abt a few months now, posting writing stuff here and there, and i think i'd like to make some more friends on here :D

here's an old short intro that i did when i first arrived, but i'll share a bit about me again XD

i'm leeyanyan! but you can just call me lee or yan, or whichever you prefer :3

i use she/they and i'm biroace :D (sadly irl me gotta stay in the closet

i'm 19 and currently in uni TwT

filipino born in nz :)

the oldest of three with two younger sisters!

scorpio, slytherin and ISTP (borderline INTP, honestly idek all i know is that i'm a heroic introverted thinker lol)!

i'm mainly a writing blog, posting about all sorts of things ranging from prompts to fandoms to ocs :D

i draw too but very rarely ;w;

i'm into anime, music and video games!

for anime, my favorite is one piece, but i've recently gotten into jjk and csm, watched hxh and naruto as a kid! currently also reading bnha, sxf and oshi no ko manga, as well as currently watching the rurouni kenshin 2023 version. i don't exactly remember all the series ive seen at this point, but ur always free to ask ^-^

for music, i'm more versed in jpop, vocaloid and utaite than kpop (is mainly the more mainstream ones ^^;), but you can find my favorites in my spotify playlist here! if you've seen some of my posts, you can probably guess i'm mainly a stay XD

i'm also into some japanese music projects like hypmic, pararai and milgram! i also like riot games music groups but i dont play LoL

for video games, kingdom hearts is definitely my favorite! that's currently the main game im into but i also like genshin and star rail (very not up to date tho), idv and twst and cybird otome games :3 LOL if you ask, there's probably a bunch of other games i used to like too like fnaf, sonic, batim and ut XD

ah but i do have clinical depression tho 😓 if you don't mind that..

if you like anime, video games, jpop, stray kids, writing and oc talk, let's be friends please :D

i may not be the most talkative or active, but some company with mutual interests would be great ^-^

[freebooter4ever]

Are the lines on your drawings stylistic choices or are they measurement/guiding lines? Either way, they are cool, but just wondered. I dont understand drawing at all, might as well be a magic spell to me. I was looking at the pencil (?) sketch of Malkin with the cheesecutter hat on.

i, uh, definitely did not google 'cheesecutter hat' until after i saved out these images. :/ sorry about that. if you'd like the other one broken down, i can do that too lol. my reading comprehension when im tired is kinda lazy i just saw 'cheese' and imediately thought 'omelette'. SO here's the 1) initial sketch, 2) 'clean' sketch, and 3) final lines for the omelette boy drawing instead:

also i have had a cumulative of about 9 ish hrs of sleep total for the past two days so keep that in mind for if this explanation makes no sense, its not my fault. :( anyway! the way i draw definitely has changed over the years but currently im really trying to focus on the line i "see" rather than the one that is actually "there". i've been applying this to my writing for years (story vs happening truth) and you know it never occurred to me that i could do it in my drawings too till like...a few years ago. in general these lines seem to form the planes of the subject. if you google 'stanford bunny' you can find an easy example of a 3D surface turned into triangles. I do this too - see things in relative triangle proportions, except i've been doing it long before i knew how computers worked. i cant begin to tell you how long d*sney and cartooning's obsession with round building blocks of anatomical structure fucked with my brain until i finally decided i could cast that teaching aside completely.

ANYWAY sorry off subject again. so we have these sketchy under lines, and usually as im trying to find the proportions and form of the subject these lines end up being where the light/shadow hits. here i saved out the 1) 'flat colors', 2) the 'light', and 3) the 'shadow' parts on their own (i lightened the background for the 'shadow' so its easier to see):

the light is like four or five 'overlay' layers of pale yellow/orange. you can see how each of these layers follow one of those sketchy lines i did initially. and the same with the shadow but instead its a dark red color set to 'multiply' for each layer. and when you combine everything together you get:

some bullshit :). anyway you know that anniversary edition of beauty and the beast that featured the version previewed to nyc audiences in 1990 with the glen ke*ne sketchy keyframe animation of the beast's transformation? i watched that - must have been sometime after i graduated college - and i felt robbed that THAT version was never presented as a final piece. the 'unclean' drawings had so much more life and movement and intensity to them. tldr i like the messy lines, i hate 'inking' with a passion (HATE. IT.), and when i finally allowed myself to stop giving a fuck drawing became way more interesting. but my art is shit and i will never be glen k*ane so i dont really feel like the best advocate for this "style". alas. there was this one artist on tumblr who i fucking loved whose sketches were SPECTACULAR but the asshole racists in the m*c*ha*nz*o fandom bullied her off tumblr and ive never been able to find her art anywhere else since. she was also very negative about her 'unclean' sketches and it made me so sad. there was also this other artist whose sketches were awe inspiring but all she drew was p*rn and well...we all know what happened on tumblr in december 2018.

also i 100% stole the lighting scheme from The Bear which is currently one of the most gorgeous shows on television right now in my opinion

im really really sorry if this makes no sense, if im feeling motivated maybe i'll try again when my brain is fully functioning but with the actual 'cheesecutter hat' doodle ^_^

What does it mean if Katya is putting up her costumes on depop already, new costumes? Their tour ain't even finished yet.. admittedly it's only the leotard/skirt from NY and the final number.. but im too emotionally attached to this tour that I don't want any of it sold 🥺

Well, if you want to commiserate about the fact that Katya will literally touch a piece of fabric for one second and then immediately sell it on her Depop… You’ve come to the right place! It makes me so sad too. I know she loves to immediately clean out her closet to make space for the new and she’s always done this but still it stings a little. Normally I’d say get the bag sis go ahead and overcharge for the privilege to smell your smoke and sweat soaked garments but in this case (and actually all cases because I’m sad every time she’s does this) I’m like… is nothing scared?! Katya you don’t need the money please save something! I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again but in 10 years time Trixie will have a whole museum dedicated to everything she ever wore and Katya will be living in the woods without a trace to remember her by.

But if it means anything? Besides the fact that she’s definitely not as attached as us lol… No I don’t think so. She’s selling the previous versions of costumes she’s since updated and she’s done that before. Also I don’t think there will be a lot of new changes or updates for the last couple of shows since there’s only 11 left. You never know though! But it is sad that she’ll sell stuff she and Andrew/Astor Yang have made as well as pieces from drag and costume designers like Marco Marco/Dallas Coulter/Amie Sarazan… these are all very talked people and I want their work appreciated by all… but I don’t necessarily believe that means a resale is needed. The only perk is that we now know more about the clothes like the fact that she has at least two leotard versions (makes sense it’s good to have a backup). But all of this does give me an excuse to talk about the changes in the costumes she’s sold so far…

During the first leg of T&K live for the NY/NY number their dresses/leotards were a brighter pink/red sequined fabric but more high cut around the legs and they complained about it during the live pod in Austin (you can see their shapewear and after the skirt reveals they were always adjusting their outfits like it was uncomfortable) so it makes sense they updated those. The newer versions are more full coverage around the legs and are lined around the neckline. I will say I don’t like the almost silvery sheen to the sequin fabric they used this time because the dress colors look more muted? But maybe it was just what they had available. Just in my opinion the originals captured the light better in photos.

For the closing Chicago number they added the fringe to the bodysuit and gloves. 10/10 improvement. Turned cute leotards into flapper fringe mini dresses perfect for dancing. No notes.

Now for the robes they went from sequins to shiny and I think they look sleeker and more distinctive from all the other shades of red and pink they’ve previously used in the show. A+++.

The iconic Cекси outfit… loved the upgrade from the first leg to what she wore in AUS/NZ but this final version is the perfect combo of the original outfit and the more sexy update. Plus it fits better and she can move around in it more. All excellent choices here but they settled on the best for sure.

So while I’m sad about all of these original costumes being sold I don’t thing there’s anything deeper going on here besides it’s definitely ending and she’s definitely not saving anything despite all of us definitely wishing that was not the case!

If anyone has their eye on anything, especially the updated versions of the costumes, save up now and turn those notifications on because there’s a 99% chance she’ll sell them one day. Honestly there’s a lot I would be tempted to buy because I love literally everything she wears but I’d rather shes hang onto it in the off chance she wears it again. Maybe once this tour is all said and done I’ll do a full T&K Live costume retrospective and then a follow up with an in memoriam post once she inevitably sells everything…

My Desired Reality: Overview

Since my main DR is kind of all over the place (my script is basically a novel), I figured I'd make a separate post about it.

General: My DR is an alternate version of this reality, where I am an actress living in LA. I star in a Netflix adaptation of the book series Gideon the Ninth, and I also start collaborating with Smosh, which is a YouTube sketch comedy/game channel that I've been a fan of forever. It's basically just me living my acting dreams in LA and hanging out with the Smosh crew, so on :)

Background: So I kept my background, age, name, etc. exactly the same, but instead of being at my current job for this long (I'm a therapist:)) I was "discovered" after a year and ended up starring in another super popular project and moved to LA before getting booked for Gideon. I pretty much blew up overnight since people were so shocked that I came out of no where and nailed my performance so well.

I also scripted that Gideon films in LA so I didn't have to move and would be near Smosh's studio.

I live in a lovely two bedroom in LA, and my roommate is Erana James, who is starring in Gideon as well. We decided to live together when we both got cast, since she's originally from NZ.

Ian Hecox, who owns Smosh, then reached out and asked me to spend the day on set and be in a few videos, since the whole Smosh team was a huge fan of my first project.

Significant Relationships:

Erana James: My roommate, co-star, and one of my closest friends. We worked together on my first project and are practically like sisters.

Courtney Miller: A member of the Smosh cast and my soon to be significant other (will make a separate post about her probably;)). I scripted a pretty fast-paced romance that blossoms between us, because I'm not patient enough for a slow burn with her and wanted to just focus on developing the relationship haha.

Smosh Cast: I basically become an honorary member of the Smosh family pretty fast, and build great relationships with all of them!

Shifting: For my first day I scripted that I had the apt to myself for the day, so that I could get oriented lol. The second day is when I go into Smosh for my first day to meet everyone.

From there, I scripted a bunch of scenarios about both the acting and the Smosh side - all the videos I'm in, adventures with the Gideon and Smosh cast, interviews, stuff like that.

So that's my DR! I don't know if anyone has any questions, advice, or has is shifting for Smosh, hit me up:)
