I love men with green, blue eyes

Idk if you care/already knew but the infinity comic focusing on the newer captain America (I think love unlimited, may have been voices) had a small Tommy (and David) cameo. It was kind of cute and funny but also a little weird. I have so many questions about their relationship that I would love to have answers for (what I wouldn’t give for an arc of that very comic explaining how they got together!)

It's Love Unlimited. The current run is focused on Aaron Fischer, a character who was created for United States of Captain America in 2021. As far as I can tell, this is his first significant storyline since his debut. I'm not really familiar with the character, but I'm enjoying the series so far-- the art's really nice, and Trujillo seems to have found his stride with the vertical format. His Hulkling & Wiccan comics were a huge disappointment, so this is a pleasant surprise.

Anyway, yeah, Tommy and David were in the first episode. They appear in a crowd of LGBT superheroes who turn out of the opening of... some kind of community center? It's not clear. Anyways, Aaron decides to try his luck with some of the guys, and Tommy seems like he's ready to flirt back until David... scolds him like a misbehaving dog.

It's a weird moment, for several reasons. Tommy, as a character, is so often reduced to being hyperactive, goofy, destructive, and horny-- like a flanderized Bart Allen with a bad-boy streak. He barely has any appearances outside of bit-part cameos, so this is like the only treatment he ever receives, and I'm a little tired of it, especially when it comes to his dynamic with David.

I just don't think this sort of non-committal situationship works in comics book. Maybe if they had recurring roles in an ongoing series, they could tease out a slow-burn romance, or even negotiate the particularities of an open relationship. That's not what's happening here, though. There's no momentum, and Tommy only ever shows up the be the butt of the joke. I don't want to get into X-Factor, but I think we can agree that Williams did not do either of these characters any favors, and it was a really poor foundation for their canon relationship.

You want to know what really bothered me in this issue, though? America's conversation with Aaron was super out of character. Why is she being dismissive of a homeless gay kid who chooses to "reclaim" Captain America imagery when that was, like, her whole deal for years-- not to mention the way that she shuts him down because he doesn't have powers. America, your best friend is Hawkeye!!!!

Haha guess who's getting back into camp camp? Me! Anyways your ocs are pretty neat, and I'd like to know more about Fish and Jingle. Did Jingle kill someone?

HI HELLO thank you!! :) i love rambling about them

as for jingle, he follows a cannibal clown trope- its his main thing! he totally gives everyone the creeps and nobody trusts him one bit, but they don’t quite realize he’s actually a serious threat for majority of the summer (they chop their feelings down to paranoia and ‘We Are Stereotyping This Poor Clown Boy’) until things are much more apparent in his storyline. he has a main gag of being the reason that scotty isnt at camp anymore, there was simply only room for ONE ginger clown in this establishment…

since absolutely no one trusts him though (except one specific boy in a vampire getup), he has a hard time luring others! i like to think the main trio try and do an investigation on him in ~S4 and it goes really south as an episode idea though :)

ON A LIGHTER NOTE, FISH— fish (they/he/she) is in snorkeling camp, they’re definitely more of a background character for most of the show due to the fact they hardly speak and hate being dragged from the lake! he’s incredibly shy and anxiety ridden, but loves everything about the water. fish is really funny tbh they have a gag of just being in the background doing weirdass shit with no explanation, theyre just really to themself lmao. she’s really close with david and he’s their favorite counselor evidently throughout the show, which makes david really happy because nobody appreciates him ever 😭. fish brings him a dead fish one time though as a gift and he is mortified . so i guess there are ups and downs

they also run away during city survival with their only trail being a pair of abandoned flip flops (they hate shoes) and my oc counselors have to go on a wild goose chase of trying to find him and …. Most of their campers, to be honest . these kids be running AWAY

Aaron Fischer tries to talk to the LGBT superheroes (and Kyle Jinadu). Unfortunately, they are too busy to talk to him for a few reasons - he doesn't fit into their type, they have their own partners or they are just distracted by something else happening.

Season 5 Featured on: SiIvaGunner's Highest Quality Rips: Volume C

Ripped by eg_9371

One of the more novel things about having followed SiIva for as long as I have has been seeing the channel's library of jokes gradually grow and change overtime. Its almost impossible to picture now, but in the earliest days of the channel 7 Grand Dad was really the only joke that would appear regularly: Snow Halation, Loud Nigra, Nutshack, We Are Number One, and so on would all join later, of course, but for a time the selection was quite limited. And it might just be my imagination, but it felt like around ~2017-2018, sound-based shitposts akin to what SiIva was posting regularly started to become more of a mainstream meme-culture thing, where you'd find it in your average Twitter feed. Its become a kind of symbiosis I feel, wherin many of the channel's own in-jokes slowly creep their way into social media, and many social media-viral sound sources slowly get integrated into the channel itself, even if just momentarily. Penis Music, out of all sources, is what immediately comes to mind for me when I think of this phenomenon.

Maybe that's just because it feels like such a perfect fit for the channel? Maybe because the few appearances it had on the channel during Season 4:2 stuck out so much from their quality? Or maybe just because the source track is, even with or perhaps because of its instrumentation, a fucking banger.

Life in the Mines is already a top-tier DKC track to begin with and one that sounds good almost no matter what instrumentation you give it, and there's obviously something really funny about blasting the loudest, most obnoxious instrumentation possible over a track meant to convey ambience and quiet. But once the intro plays and the track begins, it quickly becomes clear that the joke was lead in to a genuinely fantastic EDM remix of the original track. Yet its not a bait-and-switch: The chorus is still using the same synth and same samples as the original Penis Music song, and the more iconic rubberband samples reappear as the track goes on, feeling part of this greater remix effort.

There's a good number of audio sources used on SiIva that are most often used in intentionally terrible ways, and I feel there's a real possibility Penis Music could've ended up like that. But a small band of rippers who saw the potential in the source back in 2021 really did do the most out of if, and it still brings a smile to my face even now.
