I ruined "Nightmares Never End" by JT Music with Google Translate and this happened (Long post + my commentary on the translated lyrics)

If you've never listened to "Nightmares Never End" by JT Music or watched any Google Translate Sings/Twisted Translations videos, please do so! The latter videos are very funny and help provide some context for the rest of the post.

As for the languages that I used for the translated version, I used Scandinavian languages such as Swedish (because Tarsier Studios is a Swedish video game development company), Norwegian, Icelandic, Finnish, Danish, and (because of the general aesthetic of LN1) Japanese. And yes, I went in the order of English -> Swedish -> Norwegian -> Icelandic -> Finnish -> Danish -> Japanese -> English.

Also, spoilers for the games (esp. Little Nightmares 2) ahead!

-------

Nightmares Never End (with Google Translated ver.)

Original by JT Music

My commentary for the translated version:

Hey, Tarsier! Is it possible if you can delete the crappy timeline where Six lets go of Mono? Perhaps make a better one where everyone wakes up just as the sun rises?

*stares* Um, that’s dark even for Little Nightmares standards, Google Translate. (Seriously, what were you thinking, Google Translate?)

A doll that looked like it hanged itself is a disturbing image to picture. (Unless this is referring to a Hanging Man plushie, but who would want that Google Translate?)

I don’t remember the Hunter using a bow and arrow, but, um, that’s an interesting obsession to have. Also, are you on air or water?

You went out of the woods only to go back in again. Also, you are very healthy, given that you mentioned it twice.

Ah yes, once you’ve trained not to be afraid of anything and are ready to conquer your fears, you eventually get hungry. This is probably true of Six.

Hunter, you need to get yourself a knife unless you want the Flesh Walls to come after you.

Also, Hunter, is it okay if I bring my pet mouse to your house?

Mono/Thin Man, you better have some bleach if you’re to sit in the Tower for a while and see some of the more… interesting fanfics and fanart of you (and Six/the Lady).

Technically, this line rings true if you go with the time loop theory.

Six: It was dark in the Tower, okay?! I couldn’t hold onto Mono’s hand right without a light!

Are you having an identity crisis, Six?

I didn’t know Monster Six was the epitome of perfection, but okay.

Did this line just summarize the premise of the movie 9?

That’s rough buddy.

It bears repeating that adults have a tendency to bite (and certain children too). Also, there's a reference to the chapter selection of Little Nightmares 2.

Has anyone done a Little Nightmares magical girl AU yet? It comes at a price, though…

They have social media sites in the LN ‘verse now? I mean, there’s a Twitter account, so…

No shit, Six.

You don’t need to ride a bike to know that you fail at life.

Yes, all of the dolls! As if one wasn’t creepy enough already, Pretender.

Ooh, a duet by the Lady and the Thin Man. Now fight! And kiss and maybe get a room. (I have no idea what discrepancies have to do with this.)

Maybe you won’t be lost anymore if you don’t sleep and hear lullabies.

I think I know what kind of hidden sin you’re talking about, Google Translate. *nudge nudge wink wink*

Eh, close enough. Just switch the order of the words around.

Please make sure to keep the lights on unless you want a devil to take your hand in the dark.

“In the night, the stormy night, away he’d fly… A dream of para—” Oops, wrong song.

I’m guessing the dreamer has a liar for a proxy.

So the dreamer is lying about all nightmares being over… Aw man, I had such high hopes. Wait, are the dreamer and the liar the same person? Is this Mono/the Thin Man?

Yes, I’d like to be where my dreams are instead of reality sometimes. That’s what escapism is.

When you mean “I’m done,” does that mean you’re awake?

Smoking PSA time! Yes, Mono, please stop smoking your cigarettes. Did you know that smoking impairs your ability to have REM sleep and therefore the ability to dream?

Why yes, that right over there is a sine wave.

I don’t know if I’ll have assurance unless someone can tell me if we’re talking about the fish that are called rays, light rays, or geometric rays.

I mean, I guess with enough string you can make a noose?

The Teacher is good at playing this game.

Google Translate, why did you suddenly become a bit of a fanatic here?

“... dangerous! She’s got what it takes to make ends meet—” Wrong song again!

Then get lost, Six!

This is a spoiler for pretty much every Little Nightmares game.

Meet who?

You mean a leech, Google Translate?

The HOA’s worst nightmare: suspiciously pristine lawns.

How dare you entities who only transform into meadows for attractive sheep! What have the average-looking and unattractive sheep done to you?

Hm, maybe because they’re sheep?

Damn, you’re pretty confident about killing all of those sheep. (Mmm, lamb chops.)

I hope Mono/the Thin Man and Six/the Lady don't come after me.

Have a hodge podge of questions cuz I couldn't pick just one haha (but you don't have to answer all of them!): What's your favorite taz balance moment? Amnesty moment? Top 5 ships (from anything!). If you could have any job in the world, what would you do?

Giving you five moments from the Balance arc bc I’m cry I love it so much (they’re not even top 5 they’re just ones I’m thinking about right now I HAVE NO FAVORITES I LOVE IT ALL)

BIG SPOILERS Y’ALL FOR TAZ, VERONICA MARS, A BUNCH O SHIT IDK

5. Barry Returns

STURDY. DENIM. BLUE. FUCK ME RUNNING.

No really tho the first time I heard that I was running on the treadmill and all of my surpressed weird girl energy from when I was 10 and didn’t want to get bullied JUMPED out and I screamed. I also turned up my speed very high.

4. The Lunar Interlude Music

I know it’s not a specific moment but every time it comes on I feel instantly at peace.

3. Taako and Kravitz’s pottery class at the ole Chug and Squeeze

Okay first of all Justin said “Chug and Squeeze” and I nearly pissed myself but like. That. Taako making a vase bc he could give a shit what they want him to make bc HE WILL NOT CHAIN HIS MUSE. The spell charging out of the umbrastaff (MY LOVELY GAL). These two fucking idiots falling in love with each other after like 20 minutes of knowing each other and all of us being like FUCK YEAH THEYRE IN LOVE

2. Barry and Lup’s duet

Their love. The way it builds over a half century. How in tune with each other they are, how much they understand each other and trust each other and challenge each other. And how they stay so PASSIONATELY in love after about fifty years. They are what I hope for some day.

1. Magnus and the Chalice/ Magnus’ Death

Magnus sees Julia after her death twice. The first time, with the chalice, is gut wrenching. This person that our sweet goofy and loveable Magnus loved with more of himself than should have been possible stands before him, just out of reach, and the opportunity to save her presents itself to him. And he doesn’t take it. Because even though his life has been hard without her, she wouldn’t want him to bring her back. And that’s why his ending is so beautiful. Major character deaths are often used to motivate a living character, to take something dear from them, or to cheaply tie up things because a writer doesn’t want to take the time to give the proper ending (ahem VMARS). But Magnus’ death is filled with love and happiness from a long and full life that he never expected to live out. There was a period of time where a lot of his risky behaviors could be called suicidal, and the fact that he not only lives but lives happily is so good. And he passes happily, too. And he’s taken to the love of his life, she’s the first person he sees. And I was crying throughout the whole scene, but as soon as Reeder’s waltz for “Julia” began to play, I was inconsolable. I cried about it on and off for days. I had never had the pleasure of such a beautiful ending for anyone in anything I had ever read, seen, or heard before.

NOTE: in all seriousness the balance arc is one of the most beautiful, gut wrenching, cathartic, and satisfying pieces I’ve ever had the pleasure of hearing. Remembering my first listen through feels like a fond memory with an old friend. Those boys don’t know what they did for me, but Balance helped me when I was in a really bad spot in my life, worse than right now. Maybe Balance is what I could use again. I don’t know.

AMNESTY

3. “I love you all dearly, very much, as my family. I would bury a bowie knife in any of your chests to eat French Onion soup this exact second.” FUCKEN SAME JUSTIN

2. Duck the Mundane

DUCK BECOMJGN THE MUNDANE AND JUST HAVING ONE MULTIMONTH PANIC ATTACK WAS SUCH A BIG FUCKEN MOOD FUCK ME

1. Ned’s secret

The fact that his secret that he kept from Aubrey destroyed him and redeemed him. That’s such a testament to how Clint played Ned’s character. It’s such a nuanced situation. Ned wants Aubrey’s trust so badly. He realizes he has it. And then he realizes how quickly he’s losing it because it’s all build on the faulty foundation of a massive secret about what happened to Aubrey’s mother. And that when Aubrey tells him to leave, he only stays a little longer to save everyone else. And he has his moment of redemption in the heroism of his biggest sacrifice. And he sees the stars...and they’re beautiful. And he’s at peace in some way.

That’s why his death felt meaningful.

5. Veronica and Logan, Veronica Mars

I am sad and angry right now and am pretending season 4 ended 5 minutes before it actually did

4. Elizabeth and Darcy, Pride & Prejudice

I know it’s a ship from a book that is hundreds of years old do you THINK I CARE no they’re everything

3. Natasha Rostova And Pierre Bezukhov, War & Peace

Again I KNOW OLD BOOK DONT YELL AT ME they’re just VERY GOOD TOGETHER

2. Juliet Ashton and Dawsey Adams, The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society

Two lonely people who have been through some SHIT quietly find love and a home in each other? Hell YEAH (also the book is a billion times better than the movie)

1. Barry and Lup

Gonna probs restate some shit from earlier BUT

Goodness me the quiet but palpable build of their love. How they respect each other. How they make each other laugh. How they understand each other. How they trust each other. How they CHALLENGE each other. And then with all of that they remain desperately in love, no matter how much time has passed. Their story is everything I dream of. I love them.

If I could have a dream job, I’m sure it sounds silly and cliche but I’ve just so badly, and for so long wanted to be a musical theatre actress. But I don’t know that I’m good enough or pretty enough or whatever. I feel very lost re: my career right now.

#thank you so much #this got me focused on something else for awhile and i appreciate that

miasswier’s ultimate glee ranking: no 24

24: I Do

Written by: Ian Brennan Directed by: Brad Falchuk

Overall Thoughts: This one is a tough one to rank, mostly because the parts that I love I love so goddamn much, but the parts that annoy me annoy me so goddamn much. It’s pretty high up on the list because, objectively, it’s a really strong episode. It’s smack-dab in the middle of the strongest set of episodes in season four (lasting from “Sadie Hawkins” to “Guilty Pleasures”), and has really good entertainment value, while also showing a fantastic portrayal of the difficulties of living with mental illness. I originally had it higher on the list than I do now, but I re-watched it again and ugh, seriously, the parts of this episode I dislike drag it down so goddamn much. Still, it’s really strong, and it has some of my favourite moments in all of Glee history.

What I Like:

Finn telling Rachel that not everything is about her. What I like most about this moment is that it’s true. It’s not just Finn telling Rachel that to ~conceal his true feelings or whatever. Him kissing Emma legitimately had nothing to do with Rachel.

Okay, this whole storyline annoys the fuck out of me, but the scene before Jake and Marley sing their duet is pretty funny. It’s too bad they didn’t give Ryder more of a chance to be funny, because Blake Jenner has fantastic comedic timing.

Kurt and Blaine making out in the backseat of that car. Obviously.

“This is just bros helping bros.” “I love it when you talk fratty.” These two are the biggest fucking dorks.

“Tell me that’s not Tina again!”

Becky as the angry flower girl, throwing her petals with so much fucking force.

Jake calling Ryder out on his racist assumption that Jake would steal, or that Marley would assume Jake was stealing. As far as I remember there’s been no indication that Jake has ever actually committed a crime? He’s just lippy with teachers and sleeps with tons of girls and thinks that makes him a badass, but he isn’t a thief.

Jake and Marley not having sex. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: nobody can convince me that Marley wasn’t asexual. Still, I remember hearing the spoilers that five couples would go into hotel rooms and that four of those would be having sex and instantly hoping that Jake and Marley would be the ones that didn’t. I mean, Jake talks a big game about “taking it slow” but they’ve only been dating for four episodes, so that’s, what, a month? Maybe two? I’m glad that Marley didn’t let herself be pressured by the romantic gestures and such.

Santana raising her arms above her head while she follows Quinn into the hotel room. She’s so excited for the sex she’s about to have.

Honestly, Santana and Quinn in general in this episode. Everything about it is perfect, other than Quinn instantly shooting down the possibility of bisexuality, but my absolute favourite exchange is when Quinn tells Santana that the only non-gross guys are Will (ew) and Al Roker and Santana goes “Al Roker is disgusting, by the way.”

Seriously, though. Santana and Quinn had sex. Twice. That is a canonical thing that happened. I think about it every day tbh. God bless Glee.

Brittany taking pictures of Sue as she walks down the aisle and whispering “you look so good.”

“Oh, look, it’s the glee kids.”

Kurt very obviously hiding his boner behind his jacket as he gets out of the car, and Blaine’s adorable “oh my god.”

“You do realize how trashy blasphemous this is, right?” “Oh, come on Mercedes, everybody hooks up at weddings.”

Kurt pulling Blaine into the hotel room by the fucking tie.

I really enjoy the entire montage of couples post-sex (or post-not-sex, in the case of Jake and Marley). Obviously the Klaine scene is my favourite, but even the Artie/Betty scene is pretty cute. Also, Finn and Rachel’s scene is really heartbreaking in hindsight, since that’s the last time we see them on-screen together (in the same location, at least), and it’s the last kiss Rachel ever gives Finn.

Honestly, although it does annoy me in the context of the episode and in the context of when it aired, in hindsight the whole “we are endgame” speech is pretty sad. Hearing Finn talk about how he and Rachel are going to end up together, no matter what, is like a knife to the heart. Like, wow. There’s so much stuff on this show that in hindsight is just gutting.

That being said, it’s hilarious when Finn gives that whole pseudo-deep metaphor about seeds and Rachel just responds with “are you telling me you want to be a gardener?”

“Will Schuester is a weepy man-child whose greatest joy in life is singing with children. And his best friend? Nineteen.”

“Well, don't say that to Will Schuester. He'll have you singing a stripped down acoustic version of I Will Survive in a choir room full of teenagers with meaningful looks on their faces.”

Rachel telling Finn the honest truth that Emma running off has literally nothing to do with him. I’m glad that we’re at the point in the show where Finn making every woman in his life’s drama about himself is getting nipped in the bud.

Blaine and Kurt flanking Tina in red and white. They look like the angel and devil on her shoulders. Also, they’re totally going to make out during Showgirls.

The portrayal of Emma’s downward spiral over this episode and the previous one is so fantastic. Because it’s real. Here is a woman getting ready for what is supposed to be the happiest day of her life, and she’s just dreading it. Her anxiety gets worse and worse, and that just makes her OCD flare up even more-so than usual, and the result we get in the scene leading into “I’m (Not) Getting Married Today” is so wonderfully acted by Jayma Mays. I can think of very few TV shows who accurately dealt with this downside of mental illness: not even being able to enjoy the things that are supposed to bring you joy. Emma wants more than anything to marry Will, but she just can’t do it. It’s so raw, and emotional, and I’m so glad that we got to watch her perspective and not just Will and Finn’s. It’s just… god, I love that whole scene and that whole story. It’s just so goddamn real.

What I Don’t Like:

Mercedes calling Kurt and Blaine her “arm gays”. No thanks.

Okay, yeah, in hindsight the Finchel stuff is really sad, and I did tear up at a few of their scenes, but for fuck’s sake. It’s season four and we’re still dealing with this bullshit? They don’t have that much screen time, but it feels like every one of their scenes is never ending. And just exhausting. Plus, one of those scenes takes place while Kurt and Blaine are singing and I’ll never forgive Glee for that. Never.

In a similar vein, Artie and Betty have way too much screen time considering she was a one-episode character, and they also have a scene during Klaine’s song. It’s almost worse than the Finchel scene because it involves Artie literally annoying a girl into dancing with him via insulting her. She said no, bud. Leave her alone.

Jake/Marley/Ryder is SO ANNOYING OH MY GOD. Of all the annoying heterosexual bullshit I’m forced to put up with in this episode, theirs annoys me the most. First of all, we’re supposed to be rooting for Jake and Marley, but Glee is clearly showing us that Jake is the worst. But then Ryder kisses Marley, who is dating his best friend, so guess who just got added to the list of “the worst”? Seriously , why were these two the only two options given for Marley? She would have been way better off dating Unique.

I know this is a stupid, nitpicky thing, but I hate when Ryder says “she’s just a sophomore” about Marley, because I’m 98% sure that he and Jake are also sophomores, but this makes it sound like they’re both these mature adults or at least seniors, which just ends up making it seem creepy that these two guys are trying to get with this girl who they both clearly see as innocent and inexperienced, and seem to like all the more because of those qualities.

Again, one of the few episodes where I could accept Will having a lot of scenes, and he’s barely in it. Why does Glee always shove Will down my throat when I don’t want him, but hold back on him when he should actually be there? This is his goddamn wedding and he just got stood up. At least show him going to the honeymoon sweet in the hotel alone or something.

Another nitpicky thing but Mercedes isn’t at the reception and that makes me sad >:(

Songs:

You’re All I Need to Get By: I like the scene that comes before this, but the actual performance is boring, mostly because I do not give a rats ass about Jake and Marley. Also, it’s weird that Marley has solo lines in this. I would understand her singing along to some of it, but why is she singing parts by herself? She didn’t know this performance was happening!! HOW DID THEY CO-ORDINATE!!!

Getting Married Today: An awesome performance and amazing vocals by Jayma Mays. I love all of this except for the weird, floating Will Schuester head that is horribly green-screened to hove over Emma running away.

Just Can’t Get Enough: I really, really like this song. The performance, however, frustrates me. You barely see Kurt and Blaine! There are two scenes interjected in the song of straight couples talking, and almost all of the shots during the song are of straight people dancing. WE GET IT FOX! You didn’t want too much gay on your TV, and this episode already had two boys making out, and the implication of them having sex, as well as two girls having sex. Can’t let the boys actually be seen singing together after all that. (Seriously, though, the cover itself is fantastic).

We’ve Got Tonite: Despite my frustration with Finchel in this episode (and always), I really adore this song. It’s the last time they sing together, but even before it was that I still loved it. It’s slow, but sweet, and has fantastic emotion behind it. Plus, we haven’t had Finchel duets shoved down our throat for quite a while now, so I can appreciate how nice they sound together all the more-so. I also love the sneak-attack group song approach they took. Having everyone sing one line and then Finn and Rachel close it off was really clever and makes for a cool song and a great performance.

Anything Could Happen: This is a fun, upbeat song, and it’s a fun, upbeat scene, but honestly, it feels out of place. We aren’t at a fun, upbeat place when this episode ends. Rachel thinks she’s pregnant. Will can’t find Emma. Finn still feels guilty even though Rachel told him explicitly that it wasn’t his fault. Marley feels weird about Ryder kissing her (even though it wasn’t her fault!). The only storyline that really had a happy ending was the Klaine/Tina one (technically Artie/Betty too, but since we literally never see her again…), so I don’t know why this is suddenly all upbeat and happy. It feels like a really odd note to end such an emotional episode on.

Final Thoughts: I’ve always held this episode close to my heart. There is so much that happens in this episode that is so important to me (mostly Quinntana sexy times, but a lot of it is the Emma stuff too). Yeah, some of it annoys me, and the stuff that annoys me really annoys me, but it doesn’t outweigh all the awesome parts of this episode. Just, overall really strong and well-crafted. A+ Glee!

Interactive Introverts Richmond Summary! (Part 1 bc rambling)

Ok. My experience and a general summary. I'm gonna do my best I couldn't believe it was happening, before, after, or during it, and now I can't believe it happened. So.

I didn't get ready way too early this time! I loved my outfit it was so cute, and I drew whiskers on my wrist and my cousin did too :). I went over to my cousin's, and my aunt drove us to my uncle's office in Richmond. He took us to II it was so awesome of him. I was flipping out.

We got there and took pics with the signs and stuff I was vibrating and bouncing and shit I was so excited. We lined up and got in doors opened at six and it was a lot of little short lines so we got in really quickly. Immediately I wanted to go downstairs for merch.

We got in the merch line and like really like ahead in the line I was so proud of getting there so fast.

And I saw the like stand up thing background for the m&g?????? So I was like um wtf are they actually right there like thirty feet away from me? So I was watching it and had my phone ready to video. I SAW PHIL LESTER WITH MY OWN EYES LEAN FORWARD AND HUG SOMEONE. y'all you don't understand his hair is SO. BLACK. like it actually shocked me how black it was I guess it doesn't translate.

But anyway they had the last few people do the m&g, and then they left and Dan waved really quick and we all cheered and I GOT A VIDEO OF THEM AKFNDJSFBWJD.

Also, fan project tonight super cute just a pic of Virginia that said "VA LOVES YOU" I didn't know about it until I got there, but someone handed me a stack and asked me to pass them out and I was like um hell yes so I did that.

Anyway, we moved forward in the merch line and yo the line got so long I was so happy we went straight there omg. The merch setup was like really good! Very efficient they had a long table and everything up with prices and stuff it was so well set up and the guy who helped me was super nice.

I got both short sleeved shirts and the long sleeved shirt, as well as a hat and a poster, and my cousin got the hoodie, a poster, and the marble shirt. Cute as hell! It went really smoothly and quickly it was awesome and we just got right through.

We went to the bathroom and it had a lil ledge so we folded and organized our stuff and then went to the bathroom. Tbh the bathrooms there were REALLY nice, and not crowded at all when I went! The theatre itself was so nice you guys like I can't even believe how nice it was it was so fancy like pretty carpeted soft stairs and everything was so ornate and detailed and pretty. Just omg.

Anyway! Then we went and stood by the front doors for a bit and I handed out signs (if you saw me in the lacy white shirt and black shorts with short blond hair aye!). We sat in balconey D, so we went up (a LOT of stairs) and found our seats!

Seriously I can't overstate how gorgeous and amazing this theatre was so fancy with super soft seats and good room like it was so pretty and it had a ton of like Egyptian stuff on the walls omg it was so cool. Y'all. The set was GORGEOUS. Like the lights and the background and just. Wow. I felt so close even though we were the highest up, because everything was very stacked. We really weren't that far away even though we were towards the back like I could see the stage really well.

The set is so gorgeous wow. And I just jammed to all the songs on the preshow playlist it was so amazing I couldn't believe it was real.

Also Dan's Siri came on like twice and was like hi there's really nice merch downstairs and Dan left me to look at memes and stuff, and told us not to film bc iPads are bad lmao. (I filmed anyway don't arrest me).

Everyone FLIPPED SHIT when Welcome To The Black Parade came on oh my god it was so loud and amazing. The lights dimmed and off we went.

They opened with the really adorable video being projected omg my heart and then they rode in dramatically with their steam and everyone LOST THEIR SHIT it was amazing the crowd was so loud all night.

Phil read the Richmond Wikipedia page apparently (wow, nerd) lmao and talked about the rat basketball team. They literally mentioned the rat basketball team like at least six times throughout the show tonight y'all I'm.

Dan said shooketh at something at the beginning and I don't remember what it was but like djfndjsdbrb. Also he did the Naruto run the first time he ran off stage, and we all sCREAMED.

They did a smol duet of A Whole New World which I now know was inspired by the venue - it was so great though and Dan was like that's not what you want trust me it would start off good but it would quickly become horrible. It sounded really good though like I love them they should sing more.

I hadn't seen any spoilers about the beginning! They talked about what an introvert is and asked the introverts and extroverts in the room to cheer sjfbwjsj.

Dan had a six second challenge to pretend to be a llama sitnfndntkejr he pranced and did a noise we all DIED and then he was like "-NO!" it was hilarious sjfndjsnebd.

The segment about what they weren't gonna do had me shook I nearly died. "Please be gentle with the handcuffs; I have sensitive skin" IM DEAD.

Also when they went to walk up and pretend to strip and then they RIPPED OFF THEIR SHIRTS TO REVEAL IDENTICAL SHIRTS UNDERNEATH YOURE FUCKING KIDDING ME WHAT THE FUCK.

We were all really sad about the puppies so Phil said we'd get to see more puppies later in the show and we all screamed and Dan said if you're gonna promise puppies you better follow through.

When they offered to let people touch their hair I was like sjgbdjdbdjabfsn. Pastel personas skgbsjfkekfje??? They put on flower crowns and brought stuffed animals up to the front of the stage wow my heart.

They were like we're not gonna bring up a whole bunch of other YouTubers - because we have no friends and no one replied to our messages.

I can't remember for shit, but the whole beginning segment was just amazing. When they finished talking about how the show was interactive they were like "so that's why now we're going to make one of you stand up at random!!!!!!!" And they shined all the lights up and for a second it was chaos and then they were like kidding kidding we're just kidding and Phil was like your faces were priceless and Dan was like okay you can tell who the introverts and extroverts are the introverts are like crawling into a ball in their seats like "DONT PICK ME" I've never seen 3000 people curl up into a ball before. It was terrifying but also amazing!

Truth bombs! Honestly, I thought they were gonna do all the ones from the website, but they only did one each.

Phil's torture confession would be being bathed in cheese (Dan talked about if that included scrubbing, or if it included scrubbing under flaps y'all I was so done oh my god), but other options were mouth noises in headphones in his ears (to which Dan then did HORRIBLE and horribly loud mouth noises into his mic oh my god it was the worst thing my ears have ever heard ajtbcjejgsj *vomits* he said "not the asmr you came to hear, sorry") and ??? (Help I forgot)

Dan dreams about Nick Jonas in a fursuit at night ("the two things I lease wanted to hear right now, combined), but other options were a dark abyss ("no that's what I see when I look in the mirror") and a one direction reunion.

They would die from "Bees?" But other options were Dan falling out of the gaming chair and taking Phil down with him, and burning down the flat after setting a fire during a baking video gone horribly wrong (both of the runner ups they said were extremely realistic and plausible and they were like are you guys surprised we aren't dead yet we were all like yah). Dan was like where are the bees going to come from???? THAT FLAP keep you eyes on it.

We're real people with free will so you can't just make us do whatever you want, BUT we have made a simulation with a tiny Dan and Phil where you choose what they would do in completely normal, everyday situations that we experience in real life. Remember, tiny Dan and Phil still have emotions and can feel shame and guilt, so this is our test to see if you are responsible enough to be in control during this show - please do what you would actually want us to do if you were controlling us in real life.

Simulation! They have been working on this since they were FETUSES. Not babies, fetuses they were up in their mom's bellies with laptops editing this, and they spent billions of pounds and thousands of Richmond dollars (idk why they said Richmond dollars so many times during the show but sjtbsjdjd it was cute) on it.

Phil first he went to Barstucks (the simulations didn't want to get sued) and got a unicorn death frappe, with lots of sugar so he was vibrating, and he accidentally tweeted a picture of him in his underwear. Shirtless Satan appears and we all cheered for Satan they were concerned and Phil sold his soul to Satan to take the pic down bc he dropped his phone in his drink lmao. SATAN TAKES HIM TO HELL AND THERES DEMON DAN AND HE HAS A POTATO AND HE POTATO PRESSES PHIL TO DEATH FOR ETERNITY. then Phil was like "I still remember the feeling of a wet potato being pressed to my back" I was like sjbsjsjdsj ew.

Dan talked to the furry in the park and went to a furry rave (didn't show him the good Shiba Inu memes he had) and did body shots off of an otter and entered the ladydoor and slipped on the floor and died in his slothbear fursuit. Lmao rip (I'd already heard that ending though). Dan said the show was officially demonitized, and also said "there was an attempt" after people cheered for the good option lmao.

At the end they were like what a waste of all our billions of dollars and all the time spent editing as fetuses.

At the end of the simulation Phil talked about it being like a mob mentality and Dan compared it to fandoms and how if you like something and everyone else seems to have the same reason for liking it or whatever, the people who it especially means some thing to, their voices can get lost. And that's what this show is all about giving the people what they want and getting all the voices and stuff. Fandoms are often seen as one collective unit but you can't expect them all to want the same thing because they're all made up of very different individuals. Etc. It was good.

Our collective name was Kevin. We did a coordinated clap ("the asmr you do want to hear") it was the coolest fucking thing ever ajrnejfnej to build the hive mind. Then we chose a breed of dog for them to get "they just want us to get a dog Phil that's all they want" and Phil led it he was like I think I can get everyone to think the same thing, and we chose Fluffy the very terrifying Chihuahua it was so cool how they did it and that was the one I got so yay! They asked who didn't get fluffy and then they were like "that's okay that just means you aren't part of Kevin... YET." And then they just kept saying how we needed to get inside Kevin and stuff it was like okay wow.

Then we had the WHATS UNDER DANS BED. First of all that box is fucking hilarious, and I think Dan mentioned Phil just wanting an excuse to use props lmao. They explained it and then Phil brought out the audience participation balls "Phil has three balls." Okay. But they really emphasized how if you didn't want it you could just throw it to someone who did like they were so nice and understanding about it and when the music stopped Phil asked and made sure everyone who had one wanted it :). Also they were like keep the answers like amazingphil channel okay keep it PG. But it was actually a really cool concept and the lights went rainbow when they were throwing them around, which I LOVED! The three answers were an anthill but the ants are tiny dogs, a fursuit made of maltesers, and "I think he's trolling us and it's empty"/nothing. Y'all Phil was like has anyone seen a key under their seat and Dan was like wait what are we talking about wait no no I have the key akfnfjejd. They opened it, got the silver tube, opened that and got the scroll, and then they were like this has been in the tube in the locked box on the stage the whole time how could it possibly say what three random members of the audience said, and then they SLOWLY UNROLLED IT AND IT SAID TINY DOG ANTHILL, FURSUIT, AND NOTHING YALL I WAS SHOOK OUT OF MY MIND LIKE THE ONLY THING THAT COULD HAVE MADE THE SHOW WAS MAGIC AND THEY JUST DID THAT OH MY GOD. I'm still shook about it.

Then Phil took the banner and tore it up into like three or four big pieces and was like okay guys tear it up and pass it around tear and share I was so shook I was like oh my god I want a piece of that banner but obviously I was balconey, so they were ripping off pieces and passing it around and Dan and Phil were like omg it's like the walking dead down there "oh my gosh... That is.. violent." I was so shook that they did that like that was so nice and good like snejdbdabfbo.

Survey! Dan dabbed when he said statistics and Phil was like don't dab to statistics and Dan dabbed again and was like math *dab* there was so much unnecessary dabbing it was wow. Phil likes to use props and costumes so the brought out the glasses and clipboards YALL THEM IN GLASSES IN REAL LIFE 😭. Phil read the options for the audience participation one really dramatically and Dan was like "Phil wrote all the answers to these questions obviously" to which Phil replied "I wanted to make them spicy." 68% like audience participation, sixty some feel like they really know Dan and Phil (8% said who are Dan and Phil and Dan was like where do you think you are Shrek the musical? It was so good. I think Phil said maybe that's the parents. Incredible.) (Unnecessary third option bc Phil wanted to see what would happen - it used the middle screen) 40% like the sims the best, but pinof had 36%. Ditl had 16%, and baking and crafts both had four. They ROASTED the four percent who love crafts lmao it was great. (They spent the whole tour budget on the pie chart for the video series lmao it was FANCY) Sixty percent of people whlant Dan and Phil to give the people what Dan and Phil want, so I was really proud of us and Dan seemed surprised and happy about it he said Augusta was like ninty percent what the people want lmao.

ONE FINAL QUESTION WE ASKED YOU DAN OR PHIL BUT THATS TOO EASY NO WE ASKED YOU WHO WOULD YOU SACRIFICE BUT DAN NO ONES REALLY GOING TO BE SACRIFICED RIGHT THIS IS JUST A QUESTION ON A SURVEY IN A STAGE SHOW "I CAN SAY WHATEVER I WANT ABOUT DAN AND PHIL THERE ARE NO CONSEQUENCES... RIGHT?"

SUPER DRAMATIC SACRIFICE DAN OR PHIL "YOU MIGHT SAY I CANT CHOOSE TOO BAD THE WORLD IS FULL OF HARD DECISIONS ONE OF US WILL BE STRAPPED TO THIS WHEEL" PHIL SAID "ONE OF US IS GOING TO BE PUT IN MORTAL DANGER RIGHT NOW" AND THEN THEY BOTH JUMPED ONTO THE PLATFORM WITH THE WHEEL AND RODE IT BACKWARDS AND THEN INTERMISSION HOLY FUCKING SHIT THEYRE SO DRAMATIC AND EXTRA OH MY GOD IT WAS INCREDIBLE.

I'm forgetting so much but I'm gonna do this in two parts. Intermission seemed to come so quickly! It was at almost eight forty. Intermission was cool I stood up and stretched my legs bc as soon as I sat down my left leg fell asleep and it's still fucked up the. Some more jams though, and the last song they play was The Final Countdown lmao.

Quick note they are both so beautiful ??? Like?? I couldn't stop staring at their fucking legs oh my god and Dan's knees with his ripped jeans help. Also, I was mesmerised by the way Phil walks? And the way he runs and skips and does little jumps and shit? Like it's actually really graceful his legs are So Long and I'm just obsessed with watching him walk around omg. In summary - Legs ™

Edit: I totally forgot about the airhorn during Truth Bombs ajgbfjrnfsiej it was WILD Phil kept playing with it and pressing buttons to make noises before we even started doing Dan's, and Dan was like omg stop but we were all cheering because obviously it was amazing and Dan was like don't cheer when he does that you're encouraging him and we just cheered louder. (Phil also stroked the airhorn remote - the number of times some variation of the word stroke was said tonight..... So much)

At some point during the beginning they talked about why everyone loves the sims bc you can make people and make them do whatever you want and Phil was like like put a hundred sims in a swimming pool and remove the ladders and watch them drown slowly and I used to do that a lot as a kid does that say something and Dan was like that would explain a lot actually (I swear to God he said that phrase about Phil like three or four times throughout the show like wow). And Phil was like you could also make them woohoo with a skeleton or an alien and HE THRUSTED TO EMPHASIZE HIS POINT I WAS LIKE JESUS FUCK STOP PLEASE.

Supergirl Predictions

Predictions for Supergirl. Under the cut for spoilers through 02x15 Exodus (including the promo for 02x16 Star-Crossed, official description for 02x17 Distant Sun, and promo stills for The Flash’s 03x17 Duet).

Quick overview of contents:

Kara’s Future Career

Prince of Daxam... or something else?

What will happen during 02x16 Star-crossed?

Kara’s Future Career

First of all, I am (ever so slightly) annoyed that Kara published a blog under her own name, knowing that it would negatively impact her career as a journalist. Yes, getting the word out was the right thing to do, but Kara works for a super-secret agency that has resources... even if she didn’t want to use hardware from the DEO, Winn could’ve set something up for her so that she could post as Supergirl, or at the very least, under an alias.

Seriously, if Supergirl published a warning like that, it’s likely that other aliens would take it seriously, if nobody else. And that’s who she was trying to warn: aliens. So why did she publish a full article as Kara Danvers, rather than a “danger, danger” post by Supergirl (keeping it short and sweet to prevent linguistic analysis from identifying Kara Danvers as her counterpart).

If there’s too much worry about Supergirl publishing the article, then why not use an alias? She could use that to connect to other aliens online and share DEO intel without relying on “official statements” or verifying sources for media outlets. An alias on such short notice might be difficult (since they’re operating under the “anonymous statements aren’t taken seriously” guise). Fine. Why not seek out an established blogger? There’s no reason the message has to come from Kara or Supergirl... they just need someone with credibility to say it. And there are plenty of bloggers out there.

So... why did she blog under her real name? Kara knew there would be negative consequences. That was why she was hesitating to blog to begin with. I think there are two parts of this: one, Kara has a tendency to run headlong into dangerous/sticky situations - though it’s usually as Supergirl, not as Kara Danvers. Two, Kara doesn’t understand what Snapper is trying to teach her.

From Snapper’s perspective, Kara is a junior journalist, new to the trade and has a lot to learn. He knows little to nothing about her as a person. I would guess that, if he knows that she has a sister at all, he probably doesn’t know that she works for “the FBI” (Alex’s cover for working at the DEO). He knows she has a connection (“close, personal friend”) to Supergirl and a budding friendship with Lena Luthor. That’s it. He knows nothing about the DEO or the work that they do, and he has no reason to suspect that Kara Danvers has some special blackops hook-up for information. Snapper seems unreasonable only because we, the audience, know that Kara is also Supergirl and working with the DEO, and we know what she’s bringing to Snapper is the truth. But he doesn’t. He’s used to Kara coming to him super-excited with half-baked stories, and while she’s improved her methods, she still uses the same source over and over again.

In 02x15 Exodus, Snapper seems like a barricade, blocking the flow of news, all because, in his words, “the public deserves the whole truth.” Really? That’s his reason? That’s the reason this jerk won’t publish an article that could save lives?

BUT WAIT! Kara seems focused on publishing an article that says Cadmus stole the national alien registry. So aliens beware. Snapper shuts her down. I get why she wanted to publish a warning article with the facts, but according to the DEO, hundreds of aliens have been missing. HUNDREDS. All under suspicious circumstances. How is that not breaking news? It’s not the same as an article that detail Cadmus’s involvement, but it would certainly serve to put aliens on high alert. All with 100% verifiable facts. So why didn’t Kara change gears and write a factual (albeit incomplete given they can’t add the DEO facts in there) article that would have a good impact? Because she’s new to the craft. Because she honed in on one idea and didn’t consider the other options.

All Snapper wanted was a set of verifiable facts. He wants to know that they’re publishing a legit article. He seems like an unreasonable human stonewall, and at the end of the episode, he lectures Kara about being “lucky” rather than good. We, the audience, want to roll our eyes, because we’re on Kara’s side. But if we consider Snapper’s perspective, he is also right. The story Snapper hears involves an unknown federal black ops group, the national alien registry, and Supergirl, all blaming Cadmus, a known terrorist group. That is essentially a tin-foil hat conspiracy theory. Unless the black-ops agency can be verified, it remains a tin-foil hat story. Annoying, but absolutely true.

It’s important for characters to experience conflict. Sometimes the antagonist is an evil genius (Lillian Luthor), but sometimes the antagonist isn’t the bad guy (Snapper). Snapper could’ve put her on punitive duty (running errands, no articles, etc.) because not only was it her first offense, but she was also right. I think the reason she was fired rather than penalized is that this will be a major development arc for her. Also, I think her work at the DEO will become all-consuming (or nearly so) until the finale, so the timing of this arc is kind of... convenient.

I think Kara Danvers will likely go back to working at CatCo, but it will take the long way around. Before, Cat Grant got Kara in the front door -- not quite the easy way, but definitely a leg up for her -- but this mistake derails that. She’ll have to get there the (much) long(er) way around. I think it’ll go something like this:

She’ll continue to blog as Kara Danvers, and she’ll become an internet phenomenon. She’ll become the reporter aliens go to with their stories. She’ll be the blogger that aliens trust. They respect her and trust what she writes. Lillian Luthor/Cadmus try to take advantage of things by feeding her false information/bad news (basically proving Snapper’s “lucky vs. good” point), which will propel Kara forward considerably, learning Snapper’s lesson the doubly hard way. After a while, it’ll be very apparent that Kara keeps getting the scoop before Snapper -- especially on alien events -- and James will insist they hire Kara back (though I think it’ll actually be Snapper’s request but he doesn’t want to admit it so James handles it all). But the reason Kara is hired back is because she’s gone through this crucible - twice as hard as her old path - and she really is that good of a reporter.

It’s likely that this would take until mid-Season 3 before it’ll be in full effect.

This makes sense because Supergirl likes to mirror the Superman arc. In this universe, Clark Kent is successful enough to draw the eye of Cat Grant, and it’s likely that they will make Kara similarly successful. However, I think they’re going to take Kara on a completely different route. Instead of succeeding by impressing an editor, she’s going to succeed in her own right. She’s going to be the reporter aliens seek out because they know she can be trusted. They know she’ll get the story out there, no matter how dangerous--because she’s brave.

Prince of Daxam... or something else?

The promo for 02x16 Star-crossed confirmed that Mon-El is the Prince of Daxam, complete with Royal Family cruising to earth via spaceship. Both at the end of 02x08 Medusa and 02x15 Exodus, the mysterious aliens were referred to as “Highness” or royalty by those in their presence. This begs the question, what are they - and by extension, Mon-El - King and Queen of?

The Dominator in 02x09 Supergirl Lives not only prevented Mon-El from harm but also bowed to him. This suggests that Mon-El and his parents are still considered royalty, even by a very powerful/dangerous race like the Dominators. If Daxam is a wasteland, it’s unlikely it can support life. As far as we know, Mon-El and his parents (and possibly a few who serve his parents) are the only ones who escaped Daxam before it was destroyed. Yet they still have enough influence to retain the respect of at least one Dominator (likely all of them). So what do they rule now? Who are their subjects? How do they still have power and influence after the destruction of their own planet?

Also, how do they look so... young? It’s been thirty-seven years since Mon-El got into that pod, yet his parents look the same age as Jeremiah and Eliza Danvers. Were they also kept somewhere timeless?

It’s possible that the King and Queen of Daxam don’t have anything to rule, and they’re willing to hang out on Earth because their son is there. But I doubt it. Whatever their reason for seeking out their son, I doubt it’s entirely sentimental. If they do have an empire, they need an heir to inherit it.

They might’ve taken over a planet in a nearby galaxy. They’ve had a few decades. They clearly have servants and some kind of power/sway. I’m wondering where their power comes from. And also, wondering how nobody seems to know anything about them.

I mean, I get it, it’s a big universe. Lots of things to know. But one of the things that has bothered me about the “Prince of Daxam” arc is that, while everyone seems to know what has happened to Daxam, nobody knows the name of the Last Prince of Daxam. You’d think it would be something that the Fortress of Solitude would have on file, given that the info it contained was created when Mon-El and his parents were still ruling Daxam. Seems like pertinent information, right? It’s also something a history buff might know. He was, after all, the Last Prince of Daxam before the planet got destroyed.

What will happen during 02x16 Star-crossed?

The promo trailer made it seem as if the episode will circulate around Mon-El and Kara, particularly over the revelation that Mon-El is the Prince of Daxam.

The following lines are in the extended video promo [source]:

KARA: Being a hero… falling in love… they’re hard. And sometimes they hurt.

MON-EL: I've never seen a cruiser like that in my life.

MON-EL: Be careful. / KARA: Always am.

KARA: This changes everything.

QUEEN (?): All hail Mon-El, Prince of Daxam.

However, the official description/press release for the episode reads as follows:

A new villain comes to National City, putting Supergirl on high alert. Meanwhile, Winn's girlfriend, Lyra, gets Winn in trouble with the law. Maggie attempts to help Winn but old loyalties get in the way. The Music Meister attacks Supergirl.

-- Official description on 02x16 Star-crossed with actor’s names removed [source]

So, the video promo makes it seem like the episode title (Star-crossed) is about Mon-El and Kara, but the official description makes it seem like the episode title references Winn and Lyra, especially if we discover that Lyra is part of some kind of anti-DEO group. So this makes me wonder, how many of these lines are taken out of context?

Winn will get caught up in something illegal because of Lyra. If you rewatch the promo, you can see clips of Winn struggling with someone, falling to the grown, with a pulse pistol in his hand. Winn has recently joined up as a crime-fighting on-the-streets (or alien planet) hero, and though he was trying to take things slow with Lyra, the events of 02x15 Exodus (almost losing her) have likely pushed him into dealing with his feelings for her sooner than planned.

This is why I think Kara’s opening line of the extended promo (“Being a hero/Falling in love...”) is her speaking to Winn, likely near the end of the episode, comforting him for whatever happened between him and Lyra (and whatever hot water he’s in right now). She’s saying it to him, but she’s also saying it to herself… because whatever issues she has with Mon-El concealing his identity, she does love him, and part of her has already forgiven him for hiding a past he was ashamed of because he thought it had all died with Daxam.

But, obviously, the promo makes it clear that Mon-El’s identity reveal is a part of this episode, and it seems as if his mother is the “new villain” that comes to National City, complete with alien cruiser. Whatever Kara’s opinion of Mon-El’s secret, she can’t have too low an opinion of him, as she joins him and his parents for what I imagine must be a very, very, awkward dinner with his parents. Most girlfriends don’t do a “meet the parents” after they dump their boyfriend, so I’m guessing however angry she is, she still wants to be with him... or at the very least, she wants him to stay on earth (if he so chooses).

Before we assume that they couple break apart because of this, check out the official description of The Flash 03x17 Duet:

Barry and team are surprised when Mon-El and Hank Henshaw arrive on their Earth carrying a comatose Supergirl who was whammied by the Music Meister. Unable to wake her up, they turn to Team Flash to save her. However, the Music Meister surprises The Flash and puts him in a similar coma, one that Team Flash can't cure. Kara and Barry wake up without their powers in an alternate reality where life is like a musical and the only way to escape is by following the script, complete with singing and dancing, to the end.

-- Official description of The Flash 03x17 Duet [source]

That means that Mon-El and J’onn take Supergirl to Earth-1. It’s likely they go because, lacking a Vibe-like contact on Earth-28, they need super-speed to get to another dimension. Mon-El and J’onn are the only two besides Supergirl who could possibly do that. (Unless they figured out a multiverse trans-mat and didn’t tell anyone?) Alex will likely be left in charge of the DEO in J’onn’s absence.

Okay, so Mon-El’s parent’s show up. His secrets are spilled. All hell breaks loose. Lots of fighting and tears... and a family dinner? Hmmm. That doesn’t make much sense. I’m guessing his parents appear in 02x16 Star-crossed and start by playing nice. Mon-El has told Kara his parents weren’t aren’t good people, so maybe they’ll play it as “we’ve changed.” I think the awkward dinner scene is about Mon-El’s parents attempting to “woo” not only him but also Kara (because they’ve discovered that she’s important to him, and in order to win him over, they have to win her over). It also might be pure self-interest for the royal family... after all, if it’s true that Daxam was destroyed and most of the Daxamites died, the Royal Line would end with Mon-El... unless he could find someone from another race/planet with similar enough DNA to have children. Liiiiike, let’s say, the Last Daughter of Krypton, who just so happens to come from a powerful Kryptonian family. Heck, she might be the only suitable partner for him in the universe, Royal-Line speaking. Maybe they’re trying to convince her to come with them as much as Mon-El.

That being said, his parents have come a very, very long way to find him. So when he says “no” (and Mon-El will say “no” to leaving), how likely is it that they will just accept that, respect his decision, and leave? Pretty unlikely. Either they’ll come up with a reason to hang around, or they’ll pretend to leave but lurk nearby in space.

I think this is further confirmed by the description for 02x17 Distant Sun:

A large bounty is put out on Supergirl and aliens from far and near attack National City intent on taking out the woman of steel. Alex and Maggie run into Maggie's ex-girlfriend, Emily, who is in town for a week. Hank gets an interesting order from President Marsdin.

-- Official description of 02x17 Distant Sun [source]

So, after Supergirl survives her journey to Earth-1 and the Music Miester, a bounty is put on her head. Who would have a reason to do this?

I suppose Cadmus/Lillian Luthor might, but Supergirl has been foiling her plots all season... why resort to bounty-hunters now? Besides, aliens “far and near” attack Supergirl. The last thing Cadmus would want is to attract even more aliens to earth, even to eliminate Supergirl.

So who has reason to hate Supergirl and money enough for a major bounty that would exclusively attract aliens as assassins? (That’s what the description makes it sound like, anyway.) Hmm. Maybe someone from a royal family who thinks the only reason her/his son has stayed on Earth is Supergirl? Who might think that killing/capturing Supergirl will bring Mon-El back to them, one way or another?

That’s right. I totally think Mon-El’s parents are around for longer than one episode. We might not see them... we might not know they’re the ones pulling the strings at the time, but they’ll be there... doing evil, lurky things. That’s my current theory anyway. The only reason they’re doing it, though, is because Mon-El decides to stay on Earth (with Kara) and they don’t like it.
