being in true sexyman nostalgia mode today (on account of. IT'S BEEN ONE YEAR BABY.) i think one of the most fascinating things about it is that we will never manage to do that again. like, not in a "we couldn't organize it better" way; there were better ways to do the spreadsheet, we would just turn off comments on posts and anon asks from day one so that we wouldn't then get people accusing us of censorship while we tried and failed to control the tide of things that ended up in the comments and inbox, we'd definitely have a WAY higher non-hermit contingent, both thanks to qsmp and thanks to the sexyman blog and medusa now having MUCH wider reach to other corners of the fandom and the original spread not all rooting at me, etc.
but the reason we couldn't do it again is that i don't know if we could ever replicate the exact circumstances that lead to it blowing up quite to the extent it blew up.
it was while tumblr polls and doing tumblr poll brackets on tumblr itself was still new-ish, and people were still excited about them. the idea of a mcytblr bracket was basically brand new; i won't claim we did it FIRST (because i have no idea if we did and doubt we did), but certainly we did it big first. so there's that; we can never again invent in real time "shit people are sending us threats about fraud lets legalize fraud because its funny, we can't stop it, and that neutralizes that drama as a thing anyone will take seriously", and then in turn accidentally invent a fandom culture of. um. wide-spread voter fraud.
(i don't know if we should apologize for, uh, causing the specific way mcytblr voter frauds. i still think it was better than the alternative at least, especially after seeing how so many other polls crashed and burned after us. there were MANY things we could have done better but i have seen SO MANY ways we could have done things worse since then so i think we came out looking pretty okay.)
but also: february 2023 was a very different time in mcytblr. we were in a hermitcraft dead period, where most of the hermits were either on vacation or playing tcg (which was fun, but didn't end up generating that much fandom activity by that time in february). the former dsmp crew was very much doing Nothing (and in that awkward space when the entire fandom knew dsmp 2 was never happening, but also people were still claiming it would happen, so it was just... busy waiting). qsmp didn't exist yet. there was no ongoing life series and wouldn't be for some time. i think even the dominioners and lifestealers were in a fairly dead zone. there was very little new for people to be excited about, mcyt content-wise.
enter: our poll. our poll which cleo then thinks its funny to call out on twitter. our poll, which was not only new mcyt content for the fandom to interact with (thanks to the fact we KEPT GETTING CC INTERACTIONS???), but participatory.
for about two weeks, we were the mcyt event de jour.
and like. the thing is. now we're in february 2024. mcyt is BOOMING. a new hermitcraft season JUST STARTED. we came off of vault hunters before that. meanwhile, qsmp just restarted and is, if i'm understanding correctly, booming. they just added a new guy! the two current juggernauts of the fandom are in FULL SWING. i honestly think we'd be somewhat overtaken by the fact things are actually happening in fandom. there's stuff to do that ISN'T go insane about a poll.
and it's not new, and we've seen it all before now, and frankly, it's hard to cause a mass hysteria event TWICE. lightning in a bottle, as they say.
i think part of the reason we all just REMEMBER mcytblr sexyman so much is that we could never, ever recreate it, so it remains crystalized in a single moment in time, impossible to replicate, forever memorable.
anyway: HAPPY ONE YEAR TO THE JOE HILLS SWEEP BABY,

Our First Update!
Hi everyone! Wow, the reception to DashCon 2 online has been insane. We are so incredibly grateful for the support! We know that there haven’t been a ton of updates in these past few weeks, but we promise that we’ve been planning a bunch behind the scenes. We're going to be going over a lot of information here that we covered in our newsletter, along with some more behind-the-scenes details. 
If you haven’t subscribed to our newsletter, please consider doing so! We’ll be putting out monthly summaries of important updates, alongside regular short posts here on our blog and these longer summaries.
NOTICE 07/9/2024: We're currently having some trouble with the newsletter and cannot guarantee that you'll receive our summary right away. We're sorry for the inconvenience and working hard to resolve the matter
WHY HAVEN’T THERE BEEN MORE UPDATES 
Frankly, a lot of the stuff we’ve been working on is pretty boring. We’ve been working a lot on budgeting and logistics, what you’d expect from a con that’s still pretty early on in development. We also haven’t wanted to rush announcing anything just to have something to put out; we don’t want to make promises that we can’t keep. We have more in the works, we promise, but we’ve been taking time to make sure that we’re laying a strong foundation for all future plans. 
To be completely honest, we originally planned on publically announcing our plans in mid-September, which has definitely impacted our publication schedule. When we learned of Strange Aeons’ DashCon video we realized that it would be a great time to reach out to her (which we’d already planned on doing), and go public with our plans. We were also concerned that if we went public after her video it would be assumed that this was a cashgrab aiming to ride the hype from her video. Because of this, we’ve had far less to announce than we would’ve necessarily liked. However, we’re now at the stage where we’ll have a more consistent update schedule going forward. 
OUR TEAM
To start, we have received a lot of questions about our team and experience. The DashCon 2 team is a mishmash of people in and around the convention world. For specifics you can consult our  About Us page, but as a collective we have people who have worked professionally as event/programming coordinators, volunteered at conventions/festivals/renaissance fairs, and of course, we've all been attending conventions as guests for over a decade. 
If you’re interested in potentially joining our team, we’ve now opened up volunteer applications for people interested in helping organize DashCon Two. Please fill out this form, and we’ll be in touch soon!
Our team is also working hard to connect with other people in the con scene, especially in our local area. We’d like to give a big thanks to Jenn from Dangerous Ladies for consulting with us and shouting us out on Twitter. Please check her out on Twitter @dangerousladies!  If you’ve been involved in con organization and wouldn’t mind having a quick chat with us, we’d love to hear your two cents! Please contact us through this form.
VENUE
Unfortunately we don't have a specific venue confirmed yet. We’ve been in contact with a variety of venues available around our preferred date, but we're still negotiating the details. We cannot confirm anything until paperwork has been signed, but know that not matter what, we will be paying for our venue in advance.
Because of some new venue updates (that we can't talk about yet), the date of our event may be subject to change, but will remain within the month of July.
VENDOR APPLICATIONS
The team is thrilled by the excitement so many Canadian artists have for vending at DashCon 2. Vendor applications are not open yet because we haven't yet signed for the venue. Once the venue is confirmed we'll be able to finalize our numbers, including attendee expectations and price.
Thanks for reading! The DashCon 2 Team

Hello Byler fandom and Stranger Things fandom at large - I'm reaching out to you in a plea of fandom solidarity! Please help us!!!
I'm writing on behalf of The Dead Boy Detectives fandom who could desperately use your help! Our show was canceled in its first season, cut off without a care for its dedicated fandom or its insane amount of potential. Yet another queer, diverse, supernatural show suffers an unfair fate and we're bloody sick of it! We believe Netflix is making a huge mistake!
Could you guys please sign our petition and help spred it by reblogging?
We're not just trying to get a season 2: we're trying to get justice for the cast, crew, and writers behind this unapologetically queer show. I've been a fan of Stranger Things from the moment it was posted 10 years ago, and I shudder thinking about how it likely would not have gotten a chance to be what it is today if it came out on Netflix in 2024. I believe Dead Boy Detectives is a casualty of its time, that shows like Stranger Things, Buffy, or Supernatural would have the same fate today if held to Netflix's callous and cruel standards and their blatant disregard for creatives.
Thank you in advance to any of you who sign. Netflix has gotten far too comfortable nuking shows, especially those with queer themes and diverse leading chacters, in their prime. If you sign and share our petition in an act of fandom solidarity please know it means the world to our detective agency and we appreciate you so much!!!💀🔎💜
Tumblr media
Last thing I promise this post is not intended to clog the tag in any way; I'm a fan of Stranger Things and Byler, too! The Byler fandom specifically is large we care about each other and about queer representation in media, so it felt natural to take a chance and reach out, as a fellow fan, for help. Thank you all again 🖤

Tumblr media
"everyone." she held the camera in her hand. "today we are in milan , the i-days festival is a few days away but today we're here as tourists." she put the camera in jeongins face. "hello." he smiled into her camera. "why must you get so close?" she laughed , turning the camera back to her.
"who goes in what car?" seungmin asked. "apparently i'm in the black one." she pointed to the black one as well. "that one."
"sit in the middle." she pushed seungmin inside that back. "i'm taller." he argued. "barely." she said. "i'm older." she scoffed. "hierarchy doesn't work in this group , sit." she climbed in after he did , the boy turning to her with a glare. "love you."
"it's hot." she fanned herself as they tried to get the ac to turn on. "try that one." they all struggled until they got it right. "what about navigation , seulbi , don't you know italian?" hyunjin asked. "not enough to read that." she said. "oppa , you got this fighting!" she watched him fiddle around before they finally set off.
"what are you gonna buy at the fruit store?" seungmin asked. "watermelon." "flat peaches." were some of the answers. "strawberries if they have them." she said. "who wants lemons?" seungmin said. "lemons?" she was confused at the random request. "that's an insane thing to say." she said. "you eat just lemons?" jeongin asked from the front seat.
"they're good." she scrunched her nose up. "aren't they too sour?" he shook his head at her question. "you're a psychopath."
they finally opened the roof as they reached the toll booth; she took her sunglasses from her purse , also tying her hair back with a clip. "you've come prepared bibi?" she nodded. "can never be too sure."
they gathered the change from the toll booth; driving back off, out of the busy city of milan.
they eventually arrive at the fruit store; getting out of the car , the group entered the store. "what do we need to buy?" they all gathered the fruit they wanted , she looked around for the strawberries. "here they are." she picked them up, walking over to where the guys were picking a watermelon.
they gathered all the fruits they wanted; paying and then leaving the store back to the car.
they drove further , the pretty scenery of italy all around them. "it's like a painting." she gushed , taking it all in. "so pretty." they finally arrived at their destination , they met up with the other group at the villa.
jeongin grabbed a hold of her hand as they walked into the old villa. "look at this." her eyes lit up. "it's like a movie." she dragged the boy along with her and made their way inside and up to the roof.
on the way down they spotted a puppy that made them all go crazy. "ah , cute!" she bent down petting the dog. "he looks like an old man." she laughed scratching behind its ears. "you are adorable."
after their tour , they set out to buy food; walking a little way until they spotted a pizza shop. "we need to order pizza." lino said as they entered the store. "oh it's hot." she said , trying to leave the store only to be pulled back. "stay."
felix and her talked between the cashier trying to take their order. "i learned italian a year ago , give me a break." she stressed , they finally got their order down. "stay , I'm not only a singer , but a translator." she said. "what are you saying you barely understand korean." she scoffed at her boyfriend. "yah , i understand korean , i've lived their for like 10 years." he smiled evilly at his camera. "yah , yang jeongin."
with 20 minutes to spare , they took off down the street to find the gelato place. "i want chocolate." she said. "cone or cup?" she thought about it. "a cup please."
after getting her cup , she sat on the bench , eating the treat. "what kind did you get." jeongin asked. "here it's choco." she fed him a spoonful. "mmm."
she finished her cup , disposing of the trash right on time , before felix looked at the time. "let's go pick up the pizza." they all set off back to the pizza parlor.
they waited for the pizza , heading back to the villa where everyone waited around to eat.
she took a bit of the pizza , humming. "it's good." she said. besides the pizza she also had a few bites of the kebab chan and changbin bought and a chicken finger. "you want a beer?" she nodded , opening the bottle , pouring it over some ice.
lino then brought up the topic of them all splitting up into groups of two to a dorm. "chan and our maknaes are moving in together right?" she nodded. "as expected, how could we ever separate them?" changbin said making the two shake their head. "how do you feel?"
"finally have space for my clothes." she agreed. "between the two of them , so many clothes." chan said. "and bibis shoes, so many shoes , and i've only seen her wear 4 of the same pair." she smiled. "that's cause she just buys them to buy them , yah i told you to stop that." lino scolded her. "I definitely won't miss you scolded me , I bought those a while ago I've stopped now I swear." she said.
"but you know it's easier to make music now." she said. "whenever I need help , I can just call channie oppa." the elder laughed beside her. "you mostly make music with han though." she agreed. "yes but would you live in the dorms with the chopsticks?" she questioned. "yah , you're one to talk , when's the last time you lived away from innie?" hyunjin said which made them laugh and the boy next to her turned red. "okay , okay you got me there." she said.
they spent the rest of the dinner talking amongst each other , reminiscing about when they debut and stuff.
"i visited the cafe too." she said. "i saw it on twitter." felix said. "i bought the fans inside the store at the time , I paid for their drinks , they were so happy." she said. "it made my heart swell , they kept thanking me over and over." she smiled.
"when we were trainees , all of us were jealous of chans team." changbin confessed. "the team that didn't have chan was doomed to fail." she agreed. "I would see them training and I would be so jealous , ah , why can't that be me." she said.
"bibi didn't start training with us until very close to the show." she nodded. "it was new , I went from training with the girls team , to suddenly training with an entirely different group of people , I was so confused." she said. "like why did they move me all of a sudden? this is so is so confusing." she said. "I thought they were joking , so the next day I went to train with the girls." she laughed. "when they said that I thought ah guess they were serious."
"I think we were all confused too ." han said. "but we all trusted that chan knew what he was doing." she nodded. "well eventually i did." he glared at the girl. "oppa do you know how confusing it is to explain what I do to people." They laughed. "what do you do for work ? ah I'm a singer in a group? oh like itzy or aespa a girl group? no stray kids" she expressed. "they're so confused."
"I'm sure it's like this for everyone , but with skz continuing as 9 members , I didn't hesitate at all." seungmin spoke up once the mood was more calmer , they agreed. "i don't think there was even a moment where i had a second thought , this is my life , and I don't think there's anything I would rather be doing than this right now , with you guys." she said.
"i've grown up with straykids and stay."

23 March 2024
Photographer Eyad Al-Mazloum reports from the vicinity of Al-Shifa Hospital. Instagram user hagarhesham28 provides a full English translation:
Greetings, friends and followers! We're only 500 meters, or even less, away from Al-Shifa Medical Complex. Being in this place is dangerous since there are snipers. We're at this roundabout, as you can see.. there's a sniper in this street. The occupation vehicles are in this roundabout, which leads to Al-Shifa hospital's main gate.
You can see the massive destruction and the burnings (burnt houses) that resulted from the occupation's vehicles moving forward. As well as the carpet bom.bings.
We can't move further as there's a sniper in the opposite building, as well as the vehicles at Al-Shifa hospital's gate; which open fire heavily and insanely.
On the other side, people are being displaced trying to escape danger as much as possible, however, they're at danger crossing these roundabouts.
We're trying to reach the outskirts of Al-Shatea' camp and the vicinity of Al-Shifa hospital, so as to reach every house. People are besieged for more than 6 days. We're trying to find a way to reach them. As you can hear, there are sounds of missiles and bombardments. We're in grave danger here, yet we're trying to convey the scene and we will keep reporting as soon as we reach Al-Shifa Medical Complex.
Greetings to you and everyone that's following us. We hope everyone shares our videos on all social media platforms so that we can convey the scene to you and document the siege on Al-Shifa hospital, as well as the genocide that the occupation is committing in the vicinity of Al-Shifa hospital.

Duncney Week 2024
Day 1: No One Compares, You Stand Alone
“I love that woman.” Create a situation where Duncney face some dilemma but it turns out okay.
*Read under break*
Duncan and Courtney were an interesting duo to say the least. They never quite saw eye to eye, yet they supported one another to no end. They had their good days as well as their bad days. And despite their bad days, they always found a way back to one another. For some reason Courtney needed to be with him, and Duncan would say the feeling was mutual.
It just so happened that one day, Duncan decided to surprise Courtney in a way she never saw coming.
Courtney laid next to him gripping the sheets around herself as if he hadn’t already traced every part of her body.
“What do you mean?” She said as she scrambled her belongings.
“Pretty simple, Princess.” Duncan said as he made himself decent enough to climb out of bed without exposing himself.
“We have to stop fooling around and avoiding what’s really happening here.”
“And what is happening here, Duncan?”
“Come on, babe, aren’t you the smart one?” She didn’t make an effort to answer him so Duncan continued, “We’ve been messing around for years now. We're exclusive to one another regardless of whatever show we put on to the outside world. And to top it off, we actually enjoy each other's company.” He shrugged, “Tell me what that is.”
“It’s what it’s always been. Just two people—”
“Enjoying each other's company in order to—” Duncan interjected, ready to finish her sentence which only resulted in both of them speaking in unison, “Blow off steam.”
The silence in the room as they stared at each other was too much.
“We’re in a fucking relationship, Courtney.”
The shock on Courtney’s face couldn’t be concealed.
“And I speak very confidently when I say this.” He continued, “We’re in a serious fucking relationship.”
“You’re being ridiculous.” She laughed.
There was no way. This wasn’t what they agreed to years ago. And if she let her mind wander she would say that was a true statement three years ago but not today. Courtney shoved that thought away as Duncan cleared his throat.
“Maybe,” He frowned as he ran a hand over his face, “But figure it out because I’m kind of sick of not having all of you and I know you feel it too.”
Courtney left without a word. Duncan was being insane. A relationship? He truly thought they were in a relationship, a committed one at that. She wanted to laugh but couldn’t find it in herself as she went over the facts. Yes, they had agreed to fool around years ago and that clearly had been an ongoing thing. Yes, she was aware they were exclusive but it wasn’t like she was actively searching for anything outside of what they had. If she wanted a relationship she could get one. But that thought of not seeing Duncan anymore, of not waking up next to him or laughing with him, heck even watching his horrible movies with him, made her feel awful. And the thought of Duncan doing any of those things with someone else made her want to throw up. Shit. He was right and she needed to get herself together before it was too late.
It took Courtney a full 48 hours to muster up the courage to face him again. She wasn’t sure what she thought would happen. They had started out their agreement and stuck to said plan well over three years now. It was only a matter of time before one of them caught deeper feelings, she just wasn’t expecting the feelings to be unexpected, mutual, and terrifying.
She knocked on his apartment door and had just decided to turn around and ignore those feelings when she heard a lock turning.
“Why are you here?”
His question didn’t sting as he probably intended. If anything it sounded more like he was relieved she was there because if she was there it was to confirm what he was well aware of.
“Because,” she paused, the words refusing to leave her mouth as she looked at him.
His eyes softened as realization hit him. They reached for one another and closed the gap between themselves. Their lips molded into each other as they shared that moment together.
This kiss was different from the rest. There was a deeper meaning behind it. One that did not go unnoticed by both of them as they held onto each other before finally breaking apart.
A strand of brown hair was tucked behind her ear as he spoke, “Because you love me.”
Not a question, a statement.
Courtney nodded as her voice still didn’t have the courage to speak.
“Good,” Duncan said with a smirk as he pulled her into his apartment, “Because I love you too.”

BONUS Halloween in August/September Review: Alien: Romulus (2024)
[Eschewing my usual format of 1-2 sentence summary + 1-2 paragraphs of thoughts, this one will be a combination to include several spoilers. It also assumes some prior knowledge of the Alien franchise]
Going into Romulus I was leery of how video game-y the trailer felt and the choice of a director best known for 'subverted expectations' home invasion horror, but those were the two aspects of it I ended up really liking. The premise is that a group of 20-somethings are stuck in an intergalactic mining town where the amount of missions they must fly hours they must work to gain an emigration permit is raised by a few years each time they reach their goal. Our protagonist, Rain, is told by a friend that he and his crew have discovered the wreck of the Nostromo floating above them and plan to break in and steal its cryochambers; the last thing they need for their own ship to make an escape into deep space. The crew welcomes her, but admit that what they really need is her adoptive brother Andy, an ill-liked synthetic who can access the Nostromo's controls. So far so good, I love this premise! It's a little YA dystopia, we've got a ragtag group of mining orphans that look like TikTok influencers and don't have personalities, but that's okay- acceptable and even expected for an Alien movie. I'm also not here to clutch pearls over the sanctity of the original; everything that follows plot-wise is good stuff! Reminiscent of video games, yes, but that means lots of clever little item pickups and interactions, and the tension-building is excellent. An early example: while collecting cryofuel half the team is trapped in a room full of slowly thawing, unseen facehuggers. The other half must retrieve a master-key computer chip from Ash's body (left over from the original mission) to pass to Andy, who is then stuck in reboot mode and unable to help until a critical moment, and this all filmed brilliantly with great effects. There are several standout scenes like it; the movie feels connected to the rest of franchise while contributing new ideas- playing with gravity and temperature and electricity as both weapons and stumbling blocks. It looks good, I like individual plot beats (including the contentious climax), I love the multiple dead rat puppets that are here for some reason, but this is also the only movie I've considered walking out of.
No one barring David Jonsson (Andy) can act, and chemistry is nonexistent. We're told that the crew is composed of friends, siblings, cousins, and love interests, but never actually see it, and no matter how good the plot and pacing are on paper that really makes things drag in places. I like the aliens and love the androids in these movies, but at the end of the day I've always ended up rooting for the humans because of the empathy on display. Many of the Aliens are objectively worse than Romulus from a filmmaking perspective, but this is the first one where I wanted the bad guys to win.
The main villain of this movie isn't the aliens, it's Ash. I was spoiled on CGI Deepfaked* Ian Holm going in, so when they boarded the Nostromo and saw his body I rolled my eyes and braced myself for a scene where he comes to life like a haunted house prop and then they kill him or whatever, but no, he sticks around and drives the entire plot. It's awful; I don't even hate this one from a writing perspective it just feels insanely disrespectful (and is distractingly bad to look at.)
3. The Green Mile is one of my most hated movies of all time. I revisited it early this year when the podcast Just King Things discussed the book within the context of Stephen King's larger body of work, which stresses the character of John Coffey not as an aberration but a trope King keeps coming back to: a black or disabled person who is a holy innocent. Physical prowess and/or magic powers are coupled with the disposition of a character like Of Mice and Men's Lennie or Flowers for Algernon's Charlie to create someone who looks scary but is actually worthy of love because, hey guys, he's nice and sympathetic in a way that appeals to an imagined white American audience. Months after listening to that episode I accidentally walked into an even broader literary context, discovering the character of Jean in E.E. Cummings's The Enormous Room (a nearly 1:1 blueprint for Coffey), and Pip in Moby-Dick, a child traumatized to a point of babbling incoherence that allows him to act as a holy conduit, a prophet, and a comfort to his captain. These characters aren't meant to be racist but rather to teach about antiblack racism, which makes for interesting reading, but a terrible Alien movie.
Andy is the only black character in this film. Andy is referred to as Rain's brother at most twice, then revealed to be her servant (literally programmed by her father to do two things- protect her and make dad jokes.) Andy is cognitively and physically disabled from being rebooted so many times over the years, and faces extra abuse and discrimination because of this. I cannot begin to describe how it felt to have spent the year bumping into saintly black characters in media who are dehumanized in order to teach some vague platitude about humanity, only to run into it again here. It gets worse and more muddled when Andy is rebooted using Ash's chip, which makes him "normal," which makes him evil. Ash uses him to further the interests of Weyland rather than his sister/master Rain and it makes him start saying scary inhuman stuff like 'the solution to the trolley problem is to kill as few people as possible.' (Again, go bad guys.)
I know the movie doesn't see itself as racist. Andy is by far the most interesting character and has a lot of complexity to him; Rain's whole arc is learning that no one should have seen him as expendable or treated him as an inferior, and tells him his new prime directive is to live for himself (as well as her. Can't leave that on the table.) Alverez clearly had the best of intentions, but the movie can't get away from the fact that Andy being cognitively impaired and using his strength and powers to the benefit of some random white girl, choosing family over work but also the individual over the collective, was actually what made him human.
Okay rant over. I liked the part where they threw a flair and the facehuggers scurried after it like a pack of dogs because they hunt by body heat and movement instead of by smell and vision. Yay :-)
*Holm was deepfaked 'respectfully' with the consent of his family using a combination of animatronic and a new actor... and the company literally responsible for deepfakes (https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-features/alien-romulus-ian-holm-rook-ash-ai-1235982350.) I cannot stress enough how bad this is to look at for almost 2 hours like i needed to talk about Andy but jesus christ.

Kinktober 2024 - October 22nd
Tumblr media
Deepthroating // Thigh Riding or Fucking // Choking
David Collins x Fem!Reader
Rating: 18+, explicit
Word count: 600>
Warnings: thigh riding, smut, customer/waitress roleplay
Notes: short but hot one today! I could have easily written more, but I liked where I left it. Enjoy!
Kinktober List || Masterlist || AO3
The diner was absolutely dead. So dead, your manager gave permission to close ten minutes early. Everyone got excited and already left, leaving it up to you to clean up and close.
Dimming the lights, you walk out the back to grab the keys and the mop, when you hear the bell above the door ring.
"Sorry, we're closed", you shout from the kitchen.
You're met with silence.
You sigh, putting on your best customer service face, when you see who is sat in one of the window bay seats.
It's David.
The man hanging around with Caleb's family. You've only met him once at a party but he seemed like a nice guy.
"And I thought y'all closed at 10", he looks up at you, smiling. Putting down the menu in his hands.
"Our manager told us to close early I'm afraid, all the cookers are off an-"
"What if I order something...off menu?"
You furrow your eyebrows.
"I don't quite know what you mean, sir-"
David looks at you, desire in his eyes. You hesitate at first as you take him in. You always thought he was with Anna, as he never looked at you twice at the party. But you wanted him to, as you were insanely attracted to him, especially lifting up those two full kegs. Starting to understand his request, not taking much to convince you, before walking over to lock the door.
"Atta girl, now then, you'll need to write this down."
You walk back over to David as you reach into your apron, pulling out a pen and notepad, hovering over the paper waiting for his order.
"How spicy is the Y/N?"
You clear your throat, processing David's question.
"I, erm... about medium to hot?", your voice cracking slightly at his boldness.
"Great, I'll do that, with a side of thigh riding, and make it extra juicy."
You arms waver as you look at David, your jaw practically on the floor.
"I don't see you writing this down."
There's a dangerous element to his voice, even though you want him, part of you wonders what he would do if you said no. But, you quickly raise the notepad back up and write down his order.
"Good girl, now, how much of a wait is it?"
"I can get going right awa-"
"Great", David looks down at his lap, silently motioning for you to sit down.
You do as you're told and mount David's thigh, putting down the pad on the table. Your short waitress skirt easily giving way for you to start grinding down on him. He never breaks his gaze away from you, as you slowly start to rub your sex against his jeans. Your underwear and his trousers feel rough against your cunt as you grind down onto him, but it's not unpleasant. You close your eyes as you focus on your hip movements.
"Eyes on me, sweetheart."
You flutter them back open as you thrust against the material, your hands gripping the back of David's chair for stability.
David watches you slowly come undone without needing to touch you, using only his voice to command you to ride his thigh. He smiles to himself noticing how quickly you gave in to him, without a second thought.
Wetness starts to seep out of you and onto his thigh, moaning when you hit a particularly good angle on your clit. Your panties pull tight against you as you start to reach your climax. David bobs his leg as you so, helping you ride out your orgasm. Your walls clench around nothing as you soak him.
Your mind drifts back to reality, David still studying your face. Biting your lip, you decide to be bold.
"Would you um... like to look at the dessert menu?"

DAY 4: JANUARY 17, 2024 (i um. was a little busy. oops.)
STATS: read for ~2 hrs pages read: 860-1052. 192 pgs. reached pg 1000! wooo!!! slur count: 6 + 2 = 8 (rose narration, john. both r slur) silly count: 10 + 1 = 11 (john about roses building) piss count: 1/3
THOUGHTS: today started with jade's freshjamz!!!!!!!!! I LOVE!!! i mean dave kind of sucks at making music but jade doesnt! i love how homestuck shows the works of the characters. jades music daves blogs caliborns deviantart whatever. it makes them feel so REAL.
figured out the time differences! if we're staying at johns timezone, dave is 2 hrs ahead and rose is 3 hrs ahead. and jade is 4 hrs ahead!!!! when we were dave pov a convo with jade was at 6:30pm but at jade pov it was 12:30pm so you know.
the exiles are FINALLY MEETING UP!!!! PM!!!!!!!!! i looove pm shes what makes me want to be a mailman. what the hell are the snake worm things in pm's like structure? whats it called? with the terminal. theyre awful silly but theyre kind of freaky and i dont know what they are.
john faq i always read the faqs theyre so fun. john try not to mention your friends by irl name on public forum challenge (even if he assumes everyone else is dead lol). i do NOT understand alchemizing mostly cus i dont get binary. but whatever. maybe i will someday
KARKAT VANTAS! i think the first mentions of the trolls are here! yaaay!
dave strife theyre still strifing i didnt get to the end yet. s beatdown or whatever. always interesting to me that dave never gets sliced or anythign even though theyre fighting with ultra sharp swords. how much restraint is bro (strider) showing? the fights ARE intended to be strengthening dave. but they dont. cus hes a kid and hes passive. im a sucker for bro strider i know he sucks but ugh i love dirk too much
mom lalondes lab drives me coocoo crazy. pov youre rose you go under your dead cats big ass mausoleum and find a laboratory your mother uses. theres 1 battery unlocked just for you. theres a giant ass monitor showing sburb sessions and meteors. did your mother know? did your mother know what was going to happen? youre thirteen years old. do you know? theres bright pink kiddy furniture. did your mother use it? when did she get it? it looks pristine. did she sleep in this when she was little? did she sleep in it as an adult? why would she buy herself such a thing at an adult age? youre rose lalonde. youre thirteen and full of hatred. you dont understand anything. you wear your mothers scarf and you pick up a stray mutant cat and name it after a drink your alcoholic mother loves. youre thirteen and full of hatred and you dont understand anything and you want to, so badly. so so badly.
jade is awesome her scampering through the house rocks. i wonder if she actually believes pa harley is talking to her, or if he actually is, or if shes just pretending. it has to be because of trauma, right? is she genuine? she has to be genuine. right? fosmf if you know anything about this let me know
jack noir... midnight crew.... oh how i cant wait for the intermission.
johns various mental breakdowns (over the discovery of his dads room; over betty crocker gushers; over the drawings over his posters) are insane. he lashes out so weirdly. dave said like john never gets mad or frustrated over real big stuff and he instead funnels it into tiny meaningless problems. i wonder what that means. im not into john enough to read into it or know
jade (and dirk by extension) waking up on prospit (or derse) early makes me thiiiink. i wonder if theyd get freaked by regular normal dreams. they god tier and sleep and wake up in a cold sweat Hello? Where am i. Hello? I just slept and nothing was there. Where am i
thinking about rose + jade a lot these first few acts. i looove rose and i looove jade. i focused on jade a lot the first time i read so im trying to focus on rose more because shes AWESOME! and i want to get to know her better. she deserves it. but anyway thats enough for today sorry for taking like a 12 day break lol

6,900 Followers!
Tumblr media
Thank you all so much!! I'm close to reaching 7k...That's an INSANE amount, but I'm so happy to see so many fellow Nightmare fanatics around on this site, I never thought I'd be anywhere CLOSE to that number!!
As for TNBC news, not much has been going on besides Sally's Lament: A Twisted Tale releasing in early October, and even sooner for some UK residents..! The sequel to Long Live the Pumpkin Queen will likely release in summer of 2025, and we're still waiting to hear on a title + synopsis for that..!
Also, some new Little Golden Books have released this month, titled I Am Jack and I Am Sally! The next book in the series, I Am Santa, will release later in September. Curious if any more books for the characters are planned or in the making!
As I mentioned before, Dynamite Entertainment claimed last year that they'd have Nightmare comic books and graphic novels releasing in 2024. I haven't been able to find any word on these yet, even following the author attached to the first project, but I hope we can hear more on that soon, if it's still happening. We do have half a year to go, so I still have my hopes up..!
Thank you all for following me, and here's looking forward to October! 👀

vlad's rules, 2024 edition.
i do not tolerate bigotry, full stop. i will give people one chance if it seems like it comes from a place of being unaware. if you then show your ass to me again by acting the same despite being told otherwise, i will liberally block you and i will make sure you have no space at the table of me and those i care about. if you are a bully, i will make sure you have no space at the table with me and my friends.
talk to me. talk to meeeeee. i cannot read your mind. it helps immensely if we talk OOC about things we want to write. i want to hear your ideas! please tell me your ideas!
that being said, be patient with me. i work 40 hrs a week every single week, with chronic fatigue. sometimes you will see me post 1000 things and no replies for a while. it happens.
if you approach me to plot and then do not have any ideas to contribute, nothing is going to get done. please come with ideas if you initiate the conversation!
i use the 'yes and-' style of plotting. let's keep making this stuff insane until we have reached true pokemon levels of nonsense.
i'm fine if our characters don't get along. it's completely fine to be a hater to my guys, as long as it is part of a productive plot. respect me out of character or we're going to have a major malfunction. if i ask you to cool it and you hit me with 'it's what they would do', i will immediately be dropping the interaction.
i like to use dice for outcomes, but they are NOT REQUIRED. we can plot specific outcomes. i am fine with losing - losing is a good thing sometimes.
just because i have a specific plot with someone else does not mean you are required to write that plot with me. i will make an au. i don't mind! that being said, this blog acknowledges a multiverse. my backstory does not have to be your backstory.
blocking is not a moral issue. i will block if something bothers me too much. block me if i bother you. it's not that deep.
i like angst and horror but you have to talk to me if we're going to do something like that. i need to know your boundaries and need to know that you know mine. if you start using me for character development and do not allow me any in return, i will take the toys away.
as much as i like horror, i like romance too. IF YOU ARE GOING TO SHIP WITH ME, WE NEED TO TALK. we need to talk! i like that slow burn! i also like when people have complicated relationships. but you have to talk to me more than once before we are going to write a romance. i'm tired.
just fucking talk to me in general about rp stuff that's literally it. that's how you write with me. i am so easy to deal with otherwise.
thank you for reading this far. be excellent to each other.

Todays rip: 26/04/2024
A.U.B.R.E.Y (Vagrant Juice and Clams)
Season 6 Featured on: SiIvaGunner's Highest Quality Rips: Volume FF
Ripped by AubyLover29
youtube
Unfortunately requested by crickqt! (Tumblr Askbox)
Oh god, uh, where to begin with this one. Do any of you remember the Raft Ride event I had on here, on April 1st? Yeah, Raft Ride ~ The Story So Far - through my commitment to the bit, I had to try and talk about a LOT of different jokes and bits, ones I'd expressed fondness for already, and ones I still didn't know what to really make of. Of course, it was balanced out by the very nature of the event being that I didn't take the posts all too seriously, I wrote a good few of them half-asleep at my desk, yet serious or not, at 10:16PM on April 1st 2024, I reached Wanna See My Raft?. Right at that moment, I had to confront the demon I'd long wanted to ignore - and today, with A.U.B.R.E.Y (Vagrant Juice and Clams), I've decided its time to face the demon head-on. Today, we're talking about SML, and talking about Jeffy.
Truth be told, for as much as I love to think back to my youngest years on the internet, the affection I have for Dreamscape and Paralyzer and all that which I talked about in How 2 Do Anything - I somehow managed to avoid SuperMarioLogan for all that time. Maybe my YouTube recommendations were just kind to me, or my young brain just didn't really get the appeal of plush/puppet videos, but I steered clear of the channel despite its absurd popularity. If you've never heard of SML, you've missed an absolute titan of children's YouTube, a channel that gets 2 to 3 million views per upload, with videos made at a rate of 3 per week. Whether or not the videos are GOOD is another matter entirely - to some, its just typical Kids YouTube slop, but others have been following the channel's history for years and witnessed first-hand just how outright insane its storylines have become. What began as just a series of skits with Mario characters in wacky situations slowly began to get edgier in the mid-2010s YouTube landscape: the videos would play with outright racist and homophobic jokes, depictions of sex work and drug abuse, full-on SUICIDE jokes - all still attached to a channel with Mario puppets and with a target audience consisting mostly of children. It got to the point where Nintendo themselves had to step in with a legitimate pen-to-paper DMCA takedown request - and in the years since, the channel has continued on much the same course, but with all Mario characters replaced with human look-a-likes.
It's an absolutely insane rabbithole to go down, a core pillar of kids YouTube's seedy underbelly, yet one that for some reason or another keeps being brought up in online discussion, mainly by terminally online adults like myself. And so, SML-posting began sneaking its way into SiIvaGunner's rips as early as the start of Season 4 Episode 1, but has slowly been growing in frequency as of late, all headlined by SML's new mascot post-Nintendo takedown - Jeffy. A comic relief stupid shithead character now sitting as the channel's main character, Jeffy is, put bluntly, an outright agent of chaos the likes of which I do not wish to describe in detail. A demon in man's clothing, a creature unable to be tamed, a man who fears no god. And, indeed, the main star of SuperMarioLogan, and by proxy, the main voice to be heard in all rips made of the channel.
In a way, Jeffy is akin to those "cursed" SiIva memes that have always existed in some form or another. Astronaut in the Ocean, Yankin, The Bean - I've covered the former two plenty in rips like Aquarium in the Ocean and the latter's infamy is one of the most notable events from Season 1 of the channel. Yet in comparison to those three, Jeffy's prominence on SiIva seems to have slipped under the radar in a lot of ways, his true power yet to be felt. There hasn't been an SML takeover, none of the rips have truly blown up - its as if the demon is biding his time, known to be lurking only by some channel die-hards like myself, yet still obscured from the public consciousness of the masses. And in the meantime, we're getting rips like A.U.B.R.E.Y (Vagrant Juice and Clams) - all paying a disturbing amount of reverence and attention to this false deity.
Kirby Planet Robobot is a very special game on SiIvaGunner, and has been since the start of Season 2, arguably even since The Reboot: Through rips like Mother's・Caption (We Paused The Channel For HOW Long?! Mix) and The Noble Haltmann, it is THE game most closely tied to the channel's ongoing lore in the Christmas Comeback Crisis, the kind of game where any rip of it is bound to catch the attention of viewers. Of the game's soundtrack, P-R-O-G-R-A-M sits above all in terms of significance, tied to everything from The Reboot to the Inspector Gadget takeover of Become as Gadget - its a theme that is at once intense and climactic, yet also sounds as if it is falling apart at the seams, a digital system being broken apart by an unknown invader. And amidst all of this context, all this weight that P-R-O-G-R-A-M holds - or at least, has held to me ever since way back in 2017 - we get a rip of it using fucking JEFFY. And I'm supposed to just understand what that means and move on with my life?
All jokes aside, I do genuinely have to admire the effort put into A.U.B.R.E.Y (Vagrant Juice and Clams) despite (or, god forbid, BECAUSE) of its sources. The core of the rip uses several different Jeffy sources, primarily the bizarrely-real songs performed by the character himself, Wanna See My Pencil and Why?, referencing the characer's main running gags - these are mixed together with other Jeffy-related SML clips to add to the cacophony of noise throughout the rip. Althewhile completely left-field sources are added to..."compliment" the main track - the full-blast sound of Keemstar yelling, the "Nintendo Diss Track", a section played to the tune of Penis Music (dong music, anyone?)...its all so utterly unhinged, yet remains...ominous, in a way, throughout? Like, I have to admit that it does all kind of work, I love the use of WHYYY? for the bridge - but I still can barely even discern what would drive one to gas up JEFFY of all memes to the extent AubyLover29 has done here.
Then again, AubyLover29 in general is a bit of an enigma on the channel - you may have noticed that the title A.U.B.R.E.Y (Vagrant Juice and Clams) has absolutely nothing to do with the joke of this rip whatsoever. This is a constant with all of AubyLover29's rips: they're titled around hit character Auby from Omori rather than their actual contents, and her online presence outside of her rip contributions is seemingly completely nonexistent. Its just one more quirk atop this pile of bizarreness - it all reminds me of when I first had to dig into waterwraith pokos all those months ago. Only here, Jeffy's prominence of the channel is gradually becoming less and less of a secret - his rate of appearances has only gone up since A.U.B.R.E.Y (Vagrant Juice and Clams)'s upload, and I fear for what may happen when a takeover inevitably comes. May god help us all.
