Over-analyzing the shit out of “Meet The Spy”
- You’re insane if you said you suspected Scout. The writers of this short did a good job hiding the fact that this was Red Spy in disguise at the time. The whole narrative of deceiving the audience is a perfect way to bring out the character’s affects on people and to show how much of a threat he really is.
- Speaking of which, what makes the character even more horrifying is the Spy’s general ability to seemingly psychoanalyze people around him. Blu spy (subjectively) shows signs of suspecting the disguised Scout, and Red spy roleplays as Scout so accurately, right down to his over the top ignorance and pretending to cut himself with the blade of his own butterfly knife. He couldn’t have done this without throughly gathering information on his own teammates. Creepy mf.
- Speaking of that scene where Red Spy pretends to cut himself, the whole action itself is GENIUS writing. Not only are the other mercs being deceived into thinking this is the real Scout, but the audience is as well. Because no spy would do such a terrible job demonstrating a basic opening balisong trick. Only someone as over his head and stupid as Scout would pick a weapon up too confidently without thinking twice and then promptly cut himself with it.
- After Scout sends a random storm of insults Blu spy’s way; he then adds “No offense..” At the end. If you watched this short the first time you wouldn’t have caught it, but this random proclamation at the end is Red spy’s own self awareness and sarcasm shining through. Showing how ironic it is that he’s indeed resorting to insulting himself in order to pass off. He doesn’t think that about himself at all; let’s be honest. This isn’t enough to be a slip up because it has double implications. You can also interpret this as Scout not wanting to get on Blu spy’s bad side. Red Spy knows how to choose his words wisely.
- Blu spy’s “I can assure you, they weren’t like me.” Is another double implication. It could be either seen as passive aggressively objecting against Scout’s insults, or even threatening the Red Spy he suspects might be disguised as Scout. Lots of fucking social mind games here for the audience to try and understand.
- When Scout sees the Blu spy’s head get blown clean off, he reacts as if he’s shocked at soldier’s lack of impulse control. Not only did Red spy deduct pretty quickly he had to react like this in a spilt second, but also you can notice his mask beginning to slightly falter in this scene as he realizes his main competition was now gone. The way he steps forward to check if Blu spy is truly dead is way too off-putting and doesn’t fit Scout’s typical body language whatsoever.
- Finally, Scout’s expression turns into a dead fucking hard gaze once he realizes he has the perfect opening here, now that soldier and heavy are distracted. This gave me chills as a kid. Then the disguised Red Spy throughly demonstrates he’s fully capable of doing a knife trick. The camera is right at his hand and makes sure to place emphasis on this moment as realization slowly sets in for the audience that they’ve been completely misled this entire time.
- Red spy finishes Blu spy’s sentence before he got blasted to smithereens. Showing once again how ironic the situation is, perfectly balancing ironic humor and the feeling of pure terror. “Right behind you.” Comes off more raw than it should. Emphasis on this line is done perfectly by Dennis Bateman. Sounds both like a velvet whisper, and a snake hissing before striking. 10/10 acting here.

Ghostclan's beginnings
Hey guys. I'm new to the clangen community, figured i'd get get show on the road as fast as possible; for those interested, Ghostclan is an isolated clan of cats that live by a twoleg graveyard and have a strong connection to the spirit world. Their kits are born with the ability to sense the dead souls of fellow cats and other animals. The story will take on a gothic aesthetic as its set in the late 1800s America, specifically in the western states. Go ahead and flood my ask box with questions about these fools while I work on the first comic!

i had a dream last night that your paul came out of the closet with a chainsaw and said ‘uh oh gamers’ and killed my mom
Thanks for telling me this, it really made my day omg.
I only wonder if Paul was actually emerging from a clothes closet or if he just killed your mom before telling everyone he was gay.
Also I can’t help but imagine that he said “uh oh gamers” like how James Charles says “uh oh sisters!”

What a year it's been!!
It's been one heck of a ride! Petscop ended, I started a dating sim, made so many new friends, and gained a huge amount of followers. I never thought I'd get this far, and there have been a couple struggles I've had to fight my way through this year, but it was totally worth it. I would like to thank every single one of my followers for showing me such a massive amount of support, and I really wouldn't be the person I am without you. So thank you, so much. 💜
Extra thanks to these people for being so close and helping me through my worst times:

I think people often forget the “team” in Team fortress 2. An understatement really, but the game actively punishes you for refusing to work as a team. If your team has no medics, you’re fucked. If spy doesn’t sneak in and destroy that sentry nest, you’re fucked. It actively encourages you to communicate with others and figure out a solution, otherwise your team won’t win.
Weirdly the player base seems to fit perfectly with the story itself. A bunch of toxic assholes coming together to fight, fighting amongst each other, but they inevitably have to realize that they need to come together to achieve a common goal. Perhaps in a weird twist of events TF2 actually manages to do the “Friendship is the only way!” trope with literal trigger happy psychopaths as the main characters.

Someone else may have realized this but i’m posting it to remind people anyway that Kalos and Paldea are indeed connected. Even if it isn’t inherently DLC.

I swear to god if I see one more cutesy, clumsy “Adorkable” female protagonist in a 3D animated Disney movie i’m going to pull my hair out. It’s the same characterization every time. At this rate i’m convinced people at Disney never met a woman in real life before. If you showed them what women are actually like, they’ll flip their shit.

Okay. It’s time to talk about the darkest period of my life and open up.
MASSIVE TW: Suicide, workplace abuse, abandonment trauma, self-harm, hospital mention, Abusive parents, grooming mention
I just want to disclose that I do not support sending hate or death threats to people. I do not wish for anybody to be hurt. Please keep that in mind when reading this. I realize It’s been a while, but I want a platform to properly defend myself. I have set this back enough out of fear that people wouldn’t believe me. But now I don’t care. 
The rumors being spread about me being a groomer are false. I know myself. I’m an abuse victim with CPTSD who was violently abused by my parents/other people. I would never even begin to think of a child in that matter. Not to mention I was groomed, myself.
I was put into that project because I wanted to be the main story writer. I was excited to work with them. I hadn’t had any larger friend groups until then. I had no self esteem, was controlled by my abusive mother, and so I was dependent on other people’s validation and ideas rather than my own. I was a very naïve 18 year old kid who gave everybody the benefit of the doubt, regardless if they gave me red flags or not. I strongly believed everybody had good in them. I now strongly regret trusting them. Working on SM64BA was one of the darkest periods of my life.
 Everything was fine at first, but shit hit the fan really quickly. The lead was very toxic towards her server members. The other members were seemingly not any better, they’d take sarcasm a little too seriously. People began leaving pretty quickly due to the sheer number of people that were picked up for the project. It was unstructured and rushed. Many people dropped their ideas and I was overwhelmed and mentally overworked with so much stuff being piled onto me. I couldn’t do world building with all these videos being pumped out so fast. I was given instructions and biases on how to write a proper ARG based off of how much the server members just randomly hated on another person’s project. They were toxic, they nitpicked each other’s work, they spoke behind each others’ backs, and I was too used to this behavior at home to suspect this wasn’t normal. They hated everything. Every little UV seam, every little easy mistake, and every little thing that would hint to a “Bad outcome.”
With these strange new thoughts in my mind, I struggled to fully finalize the story they wanted from me, and more importantly what the fans of the channel wanted from me. I was so excited to finally have a bunch of eyes directed upon me. I cared deeply for each and every one of you I read in the comments, and I wrongfully followed through with my team’s constant mocking and degrading of you guys behind closed doors so I could fit in with their group. If I should be apologizing for anything, It should be that. I take full responsibility for insulting the intelligence of the fanbase. You guys are worth more than you know and I want you to know I will not be making that mistake of underestimating your human worth again. It’s devastating and embarrassing to have a creator make fun of you for absolutely no reason. Moving forward, I’ll be much more considerate when I speak of my supporters and their willingness to view my art, and make sure your feelings come first.
Now, let’s get back on track.
My emotional sensitivity from daily abuse at the hands of my parents was very easy to exploit at that age. I was a prime target of manipulation and the team knew this. They tried to confirm my suspicions that I was unlovable.
The minor who people claim I supposedly “groomed,” I wanted to be their friend because I thought they were very talented. They emotionally manipulated me throughout the duration of our friendship. They were the one who started the initial rumors because they wanted to destroy me. I never drew anything sexual of them. Only my adult oc Eric which I gave to people who were within my age range. My art has same face syndrome.
The rest of them started snowballing crazy accusations against me out of nowhere. That I had stole money, that I was lying about having CPTSD (Were ableist towards me), that I wasn’t actually the story writer to begin with, that I was a fraud, a liar, they pressured me to show my own personal court papers against my wishes so I foolishly sent them half censored because they thought I botched a court case against my abusive mother. They tried searching personal information about me online and got mad and told me I was a liar when they couldn’t find it. There is so much stuff that they accused me of, that I’m not even going go into them.
I got blocked by people I cared about, they spread rumors about me being a horrible and no-good person who you shouldn’t associate with. Basically, I got ostracized out of their friend circle. They even made slanderous posts about me online.
I’d rather be a complete pussy then lose all I have, so I begged them to understand that all of this was wrong. That they were trying to ruin my life. I had no idea how to handle this situation appropriately. I was confused, traumatized, and my mind was going everywhere in every direction. Nobody believed me. Nobody would help. I asked several people for help but they all responded with some variation of “Sorry, can’t help.” Only a few select friends seemed to have believed me.
Finally they pushed me to my mental breaking point, I attempted suicide by overdosing. It was a failed attempt. I was too hesitant. I was very content my life was over. I was preparing myself and my body to die. I even thought about jumping over an overpass. Throughout the next few days I would bite my own arm violently to the point of bruising and slam my head up against my bedroom wall. Because I felt like their words defined me. I felt hopeless, and caged. I couldn’t even speak out publicly about what I was going through because I was thoroughly convinced they had more power over me. That they’d send a hate band-wagon my way if I even dared speak out about my experience. 
At one point I almost admitted myself to a psych ward but I heard enough horrible stories to know that was a fate worse than death. I was running out of options to relieve myself of this pain. It was too much but somehow I persisted. It took me months of therapy to recover, months of trying to love myself properly.
Sometimes I wonder how I’m still here. But most importantly I wonder “Why me?” Everyday. All the time.
Things get better though. I left my abusers’ house to go live with other family. I have an amazing boyfriend I'm planning on marrying, I have new understanding friends, and I'm trying my best to move on from the past. I just want to leave it all behind me. I want to feel confident in myself, in my own humbleness and ability to form new relationships because I deserve it. Because I’m a kind person. Because i’m human.
I hold absolutely no grudge against the people who hurt me. I wish them a great life, because absolutely nobody is free of flaws. Although, I do hope they come to terms with what they’ve done to me and others and take responsibility. I ask of them to please stay away from me though, and not contact me ever again. We can’t be friends again. 
But given their behavior. I’m not hopeful they won’t play victim again. I am no longer afraid of them. I know how to defend myself now. I’m an adult and a stronger person ever since that day. I can recognize now that I’m here and I'm important. I don’t need to prove this to anyone.
I no longer want to be associated with SM64BA. I will not be making anything related to it. I do not want anything from it. I do not want to be interviewed. I will say my peace:
All they’re doing is making real victims of grooming a complete fucking joke. They’re overshadowing them and making a mockery out of them. They don’t deserve this. They are already going through enough pain. SA deserve proper respect, and to be taken seriously. Words cannot describe how angry I am that you fucking people even dared to make this vile shit up. This is an evil that I cannot comprehend and I could’ve wrote something much more angrier to you, so you should feel lucky I’m being as merciful as I am in this text post. Peoples’ lives have been ruined by false accusations like these. Please better yourselves, because I know you can. Other people love you regardless and nothing destroys your human worth. Someone else feels differently than me. Don’t hurt them.
Goodbye. It’s time for me to let this all go. This is the first and last post I make about this. I will not allow this trauma to destroy my pride and determine my self worth. Nobody can dictate my path. Only I can. I am far more than what they claim I am.
