The first thing I should ever have said about Izzy and the last thing I intend to say until at least October 26th.
[Although I am not Her strongest soldier, so who knows if I will stick the landing.]
So to start with, I was a "late" arrival to the show. I knew it existed of course, but I only occasionally saw things that reminded me it existed. The first time I saw a mention of "grumpy/sunshine" it was with a picture of Ed and Stede, so I guess on some level I knew there was shipping going on, but that was literally all I knew. I didn't even know it involved Blackbeard lol.
Which is all to say that I first approached and watched season 1 removed from basically anything anyone had to say about it. I think what actually got me to watch it wasn't anything anyone had to say either, it was from youtube recommendations? Like I think I had watched a couple Taika interviews or something and ofmd stuff started showing up? So after catching a few clips and intentionally spoiling the kiss for myself (life is too short to be queerbaited) I watched it in April/May 2023, and was Changed by it the way so many other people were. It grabbed me so hard I started looking for fics, and when fic grabbed me even harder I became a regular tumblr user for the first time ever in June 2023.
What I didn't do, before the second half of 2023, was care particularly much about Izzy Hands.
I remember describing him as psychologically fascinating to the first IRL friend I talked to about the show, and joking that he just needed a good dom. As much as his decision to call in the navy was a threat to Stede's and Ed's lives, I saw his actions as part of a thing needed for the story, and while I knew he was one of the season's villains there wasn't really any heat behind that assessment.
For me he was there to set things in motion, and to serve the narrative in certain ways, to be a foil, more storytelling tool than man. That doesn't mean I didn't think Con did an excellent job adding layers to him, he absolutely made Izzy take up space and feel more present and textured than he otherwise might have. But when I began to zoom out and consider things on meta level, Izzy existed to do a certain thing or occupy a certain place in relation to the narrative and other characters more than anything else. And that was fine.
Then I started reading meta here, and found myself surrounded by passionate conversations about Izzy from many directions occurring with an intensity that I couldn't wrap my brain around. I saw people tying themselves into knots to justify and excuse the behavior of a textual antagonist, and I was baffled and because I still saw Izzy for what his role in the narrative was, it literally made no sense to see his behavior explained away. In the framework I brought to the fandom when I first arrived, trying to explain away Izzy's behavior would be like looking at a forest fire and trying to explain away processes like combustion and oxidation. Or if you'll allow me to borrow another extended, nature-based metaphor from a fic in an entirely different fandom:
Again, because from where my head was at, it didn't make sense to look at Izzy's morality as a zero sum game because in this metaphor, he was functionally just a brackish body of water. I'm not saying the morality is brackish, I'm saying the morality was literally not the point because like an estuary, an antagonist "must exist" because antagonists exist for specific reasons directly related to storytelling goals.
So there was no real heat behind my feelings about him or his actions, beyond the natural emotional reactions we have to characters and their behaviors before we zoom out. I was of course upset with his treatment of Lucius, which was targeted compared to other members of the crew. I was annoyed with the way he talked to and about Ed. I laughed when his plans had the equal and opposite results of what he intended, which you could argue happened with every single plan he made for the entirety of season 1. And yes, especially as a Black person living in the US, I felt the fear and betrayal that comes from seeing someone call the cops (which given the show and its writers, it does not feel like a stretch to describe calling the navy that). I wondered if there was any coming back from a choice like that, which is a big overriding question for the series as a whole.
I'm not here to debate any of the points in the previous paragraph. I know how I feel and you feel how you feel and there's already been so much said about the morality of it all by people who have explained themselves well, so let them convince you or not. Instead I've been trying to talk about the two sides of my experience before and after getting into the fandom with Izzy.
Before: Izzy Hands, Narratively Useful Antagonist Portrayed Compellingly And Effectively by Con O'Neill.
After: Izzy Hands, Unfortunate Avatar Of The Sadly Common Tendency For Certain Fans To Hyperfocus On A White Antagonist Or Secondary Character When There Already Exists A Protagonist They're A Foil Of (And Also It Looks Bad TO Do That When The Protagonist Is Someone With A Marginalized Identity).
I'm not here to argue the merits of those assessments either, because that's not the point. The point is the vast gulf between them and how the latter does such an incredible disservice to the Izzy we were given and that so many people claim to love. The latter comes from a place where morality is the focus, which I'm sorry y'all, feels like it originates with people who refuse to countenance Izzy's role in the story as well as his characterization.
Viewers who were willing to see Izzy as an antagonist, who don't view the word "antagonist" as a value judgement in and of itself, who don't think that finding an antagonist charismatic or compelling means anything about their own morality, those people can look at the show we were given and take it for what it was made to be. I'm not saying that it's only the Izzy stans (not enjoyers, not jar people) who start fights or that people who understand that Izzy is an antagonist don't also have deep morality related feelings about him and his actions in the first season. What I am saying is that sanding off Izzy's rough edges and trying to make him into something he isn't poisons even the possibility of having a discussion about him because people enter the conversation with two completely different understandings of reality. If you cannot accept the job that season 1 Izzy was given to do to move the story along, well you might as well have watched a completely different show for how much that fanon Izzy has anything to do with the canon one.
This show deserves better than that. The writers deserve better than that. Con O'Neill deserves better than that. Israel Basilica Hands deserves better than that. We all do.
#I know some of y'all are allergic to calling season 1 Izzy a villain or even an antagonist much less a villain#but given how self aware this production is about tropes it's weird to pretend that's not literally his function#at least in season one#maybe there are changes to that on the horizon#but we won't have the complete picture until Oct. 26 so maybe chill if people have an antipathy toward him#especially because at least a third of that antipathy is rooted in how criticizing him AT ALL acts like a summoning ritual#and I have to wonder about the acrimony levels if people felt like they could offer critical opinions easily#anyway rip my notifications probably#ofmd#our flag means death spoilers#ofmd spoilers#ofmd speculation#ofmd meta#fandom meta#fandom fuckery#character meta#let izzy be izzy#izzy hands#izzy critical#the izcourse#and now to filter literally every Izzy tag until November so I can enjoy the season in peace#that's as close as I'll make it to the halcyon days of my season 1 watch#ofmd s2#ofmd season 2#ofmd season 2 spoilers#ofmd s2 spoilers#ofmd s2 speculation#ps I won't be responding to replies because look at the title of this post

I have two minds to answer this, because part of me is going 'WE GOT EM!!! WE GOT EM!!' While the other part of me is like 'oh god how do I tell them. Who’s going to tell them.' The easiest way I can explain: Tom, Ben, and Harry are not in a minecraft series together, and the lore that I have for them is not based in any actual series. HOWEVER. DON’T LET THE TRAGIC TRUTH MAKE YOU CLICK AWAY /silly so I can explain properly LMAO
Here’s a TLDR for anyone who likes these guys and is a lil interested in them!!
Most of the lore for these three is based on an amalgamation of inside jokes, non-minecraft character trends, and general yogs minecraft world lore!
Tom was an editor (now has a YouTube channel, AngoryTom) and did behind-the-scenes minecraft prep for the Yogscast for so long that he was never really interested in any actual "main channel" series besides [Dig Site - 10 episodes] with Simon, Lewis, and Ben, and [Skyblock - 2 episodes] with Ben! Although he’s also played several npcs throughout various main channel series since he was helping run the show lol. My take on his character is that he’s a former yoglabs employee due to [YOGLABS CLASSIFIED INFORMATION] and now lives his laziest life ever in an undisclosed remote location. He’s also the demigod of death but he’ll never tell
Ben started doing main series mc content a few years ago, but hasn’t done anything mc with Tom and Harry until recently (see below)! His character is a Shark Hybrid due to [YOGLABS CLASSIFIED INFORMATION] who now lives with Tom at the same undisclosed remote location.
Harry has been an insane speedrunning minecraft legend for ages, but was never in any main series content bc he’s actually a graphic designer for the yogs. But he was part of Iskall’s twitch vault hunter event back in November, and he’s now in the [Vault Hunter Series - Ongoing] with Ben and Duncan on YouTube! <3 so there’s plenty of mc content of Harry and Ben, but not so much Tom. c!Harry has lived remote for as long as he can remember, locked in Hardcore, until…?
But again, I base their backstories on a bunch of kinda loosely connected lore dots that are half based on jokes <3
Below the read more includes: links to clips, compilations, and very brief lore explanations (though you can check my other lore drawings in Tom’s tag (#Angory Tom), Ben’s tag (#bedgar), Harry’s tag (#brryhrry) or posts that have any of them, which should be under the (#the outcast trio) tag)!
BEN AND TOM
I’ve been in love with Ben and Tom as a duo forever, since the TTT (modded Trouble in Terrorist Town) days, where Ben’s player model was Left Shark, and Tom’s model was Emperor Palpatine (yes from Star Wars. I can’t stand them). But Ben and Tom have been yogs editors and Behind The Scenes guys forever, so it wasn’t until more recently that they became known personalities in the main yogscast circle (4-5 years is pretty recent in the 10+ years of yogs content timeline LMAO).
Through Warhammer streams and behind the scenes stuff, I kinda fell in love with their chemistry and idiocy, and they worked so well with the “main cast” that I just had to put them in the yogs minecraft universe, somewhere. Turns out, Tom had actually done a majority of the "behind the scenes" work for the Yoglabs series (he built a majority of the main building, did mod research and testing, was present during recordings to make sure things went well, stuff like that) so it only made sense to have his character be the Right Hand Man/ Behind The Scenes Assistant to Xephos (Lewis), the Morally Questionable Head of Yoglabs.
For anyone who’s unfamiliar with Yoglabs, it’s one of the yogs’ more famous series featuring Simon (Honeydew) and Lewis (Xephos) where they tested mods! more info can be found here!
c!Tom also ended up as a Lumian (the fanon alien space species for the yogs fandom, vaguely inspired by Star Trek Vulcans) because of a one-off joke where one of the Yogs artists drew him as a star trek commander, and I really didn’t need any further reason to make him a weird little guy LDKFJG
As far as the “demigod of death” thing goes, it felt right to give him a lore thing that vaguely coordinated with the whole “Emporer Palpatine” vibe, since that’s kinda the mc skin he’s used most recently. There’s another reason there that I don’t think I’ve properly explained, so I’ll leave the rest of that be for now ;]
Ben, on the other hand, plays a shark character in pretty much every video game he ever participates in, so shark hybrid was a pretty obvious way to go. And of course, since the duo had to be in the same place… involving Ben’s shark Hybrid-ness with yoglabs experimentation made good sense and good angst. What can I say :]
Here are the bigger lore posts I’ve made so far (in the order i posted them i believe!), explaining in a little more detail plus art to go with! :] [x] [x] [x]
HARRY
Harry is kinda known as the yogscast’s token memelord? But in the ironic way. He somehow makes it genuinely hilarious idk man. His humor is very dry, witty, and sarcastic, but he’s a sweetheart and kind of a god at minecraft. I’ve been arguing since day one that this man should be in mcc but we won’t go there
There aren't many solo harry compilations, so here's a link to a Harry and Ben compilation hehe
Regarding his minecraft lore, pretty much all of it is based around the idea that he’s a god at speedrunning and hardcore Minecraft. A common consensus in yogscast minecraft lore is that respawning is actually a Yoglabs-based mechanic tied to clones and clone making. I thought it would be interesting if Harry could be tied to a hardcore element in the yogs lore purely by having Somehow slid under yoglabs’ radar. And since he was never in any main channel (aka modded) series, i usually associate him with Vanilla mechanics, and since i also view mods as a Yoglabs-related lore element, it made sense! So basically— no clones, no respawns, no mods!
except that he’s in a main channel series now. So I’ll need to find a new lore reason around that DTBJDFGHK
And his design, well… this man’s skin is straight up Mr Mime, and there’s only so much I can do with that /silly But he’s a HUGE Pokémon fan! He’s played a couple of Disaster Nuzlockes with Lydia from the yogs a year or so ago, if that’s something you’re interested in! Was a huge comfort series for me for the longest time and rly good background noise, theyre soooo good at Pokémon I promise <3
Harry does more twitch stuff (hrry on twitch) than youtube stuff, so twitch is the best place to check him out if you're interested in his solo content!
Last thing I'll say about him is that he designed and ran an original minecraft minigame called "Capture the Wool" and he and Martyn are the hosts for a few episodes i think! i dont think there's any way to explain how entertaining it is to listen to him announce the chaos of yogs members trying to play competitive minecraft LOL
Um, so. TLDR…2, These guys are basically my ocs and now I get Actual minecraft content from them which is crazy. I love them as content creators and cool guys so so much though, so! Definitely recommend listening to these idiots (affectionate) babble and ramble to each other, mc or not <3
#yogscast#bedgar#angory tom#BrryHrry#hrry#ben#tom#the outcast trio#art escapades#sorry that's so long but my love for them is showing hehe#i haven't completed decided if i want the “the outcast trio” tag to be for posts with ANY of them or just ALL of them so --#if you have a preference feel free to lmk <3#also feel free to lmk if you check them out :3 they are everything to the me!

Based on your bennguin incidents I'm gonna assume that you are a fellow enjoyer of content with younger Tyler.
So here have this link of a video where Tyler's highschool team gets their hair dyed for a charity. I went on a deep dive in hopes of finding pictures after Tyler mentioned getting a pink mohawk in highschool for breast cancer awareness(you can find him mentioning that in the Body Issue interview).
Sadly we only see Tyler for very short at roughly 0:30 and the hair is only bleached but it is a mohawk. He mentioned disliking the haircut because it highlights his ears. One selfconcious boy.
Equally sadly the Plymouth Whalers have since been disbanded and their site has been taken down. I think there is one group picture of the team but the Internet Archive didn't save any of the pictures in the article :( Maybe you will come across it one day lol
Here is the YouTube link : https://www. youtube . com/watch?v =KryLdaxwS5k (I hope that works with anon, just need to remove the spaces)
And here is a link to an article that theoretically has a pic of Tyler during the game but the helmet hinders any view on the haircut :/ https:// www . mlive . com/whaletales /2009/10/whalers_in_the_pink_in_6-1_win . html
(I spent way to long crawling to archives to not share this with anyone that potentially enjoys this, if you are interested I could see if I find the link again to the article where Tyler says he hopes the girls in school will like their pink hair, but I did not consider that interesting(or gay lol)enough to go through my history )
OHHH MY GOD ANON I AM LITERALLY SO HONOURED YOU THOUGHT OF ME
that clip of him looking in the mirror oh my god,,,, hes adorable.... and the article not showing the hair is SOOO fucked....
if u would like to send me the article u can but im just happy that you brought pink tyler back on my mind i forgot how adorable he was.... like look at this kid... so cute... dont b insecure abt ur ears king u look adorable
little pink ohl tyler i love you sooo much...

hi!! i love your animatics! i wanted to start making some of my own and was wondering, if you dont mind me asking, how do you get the audios for the scenes you animate? i tried a couple of yt clips to mp3 converters but like its not really working for me for some reason :')
Thank you so much Anon! :D there are a couple different ways I scrape my audios, the first way that I did it was literally opening the entire several hour audio file downloaded from Patreon with Adobe Audition and cutting the part that I wanted but I don’t recommend that one XD
The ones I do recommend v
The way I get audio from anything YouTube is by using Y2mate WITH ADBLOCKER. This is important because without adblocker it only downloads correctly like 30% of the time and sends me to a new page to get a virus like 70% of the time. It likes to play games like that. But you can beat it with adblocker then it will give you what you want 100% of the time. I’ve got Ublocker origin but unfortunately idk how to install it cuz a friend installed it for me XD
Idk if you have tried this converter yet but it’s worked great for me so far and can download a video with visuals or only audio and everything.
(Link : https://www.y2mate.com/en899)
The second way I clip audio is the one I use the most because you can turn screen recordings directly into audio, but I’m not sure if it works on every phone I think it only works on iPhone.
If you don’t have an iPhone or this Shortcuts tutorial is just being annoying and not working skip this and just upload your screen recording video to YouTube as a private video to your own channel, and then rip your own audio off YouTube with the previous Y2mate method XD
Shortcuts Extract Audio tutorial below
If you wanna skip my scuffed screenshots here is a video version tutorial.
The two apps you need are Google Photos and Shortcuts.
Step 1. Screen record the clip you want.
Step 2. Open Google Photos and press the Share option on your video. We will be using a shortcut we make to rip audio. Once you make it you can always use it here at the bottom of the share options.
Step 3. Idk why I’m numbering these steps, basically this is where you start to make the shortcut lol. Open the app and make a new shortcut.
Step 4.
Rename ur new shortcut there is no preset Extract Audio shortcut available you have to make it. Then press the i at the bottom.
Step 5.
Flip the Show in Share Sheet toggle. Then press done
Step 6.
Click the “Images and 18 more” (it may also say “any”) input thing and clear all the toggles and flip only media.
Step 7.
Now go to add action button and search for Encode media.
Step 8. Press the down arrow on Encode media and toggle for Audio Only
Step 9. Press the down arrow on Save and toggle on Ask where to save.
Okay now you are done! Press done. You can leave the app after this.
Now you have a button in ur Google Photos share option to rip audio!
You will find your saved MP3’s wherever you sort them in your files from here. I usually toss mine into a folder in downloads. Then I go ahead and send myself the MP3 to my computer and put them into whatever software I’m using to animate from there!
Hopefully this made sense. If that doesn’t work just go back to option 1 : Y2mate with Adblock. Good luck! I am sure there are many other ways,, this is just the way I do it…
P.S. if you do make your own animatics I would love to see them so feel free to send me a link sometime! :D

I must say, it's pretty poetic that I've gotten to season 6 of Vampire Diaries right before another solar eclipse happens in America. I certainly didn't plan it, but it does feel like my timing is very appropriate with this one. I do have questions about the accuracy of the eclipse portrayal in the show, though. I mean, a solar eclipse did in fact happen on May 10, 1994, and it was visible across much of the country, so that much is accurate. But I don't think Mystic Falls would've had quite as good of a view as they show it having. For reference, here's a map of the May 1994 eclipse path (credit: timeanddate.com):
And, if you'll remember, Mystic Falls is like two hours from my old hometown just a stone's throw north of Lynchburg, Virginia, as seen on the locator spell map (this one's all over tumblr, forgive me for not remembering what blog I grabbed it from):
So if you zoom in on the timeanddate map and pick somewhere closeish to there:
It looks like Mystic Falls would be getting a little over 77% coverage or so. It's also worth noting that the '94 eclipse was an annular eclipse, not a total eclipse like tomorrow's eclipse. That still means that the moon went directly in front of the sun, but it does mean that it was small enough/far enough from earth that you didn't quite get full coverage of the sun (thanks to weather.gov for the nifty graphic):
So, I'm not positive whether it would've looked quite as dark as was shown in the show:
Although, I must admit, in this video I found on youtube of the '94 eclipse, (part of me is shocked to find footage from then but I know I shouldn't be like yes they had cameras in the 90s) it actually looks more similar than I expected it to look, but I imagine it was most likely filmed within the path of totality:
youtube
But also, when Kai takes Bonnie to Portland, don't they see the eclipse again there? I couldn't find that clip on youtube just now, but Portland barely had any eclipse--only 42-43% coverage, so it would've been way milder of a visual effect, barely any dimming in the sky noticeable without eclipse glasses.
The funny thing is, the area where I live is going to be sitting right around 80% coverage tomorrow. I was lucky enough to get to travel to Missouri for the 2017 eclipse to get into the path of totality, but I'm afraid that it hasn't worked out for me to do so this year, which is immensely disappointing to me as an astronomy enjoyer, but I do still plan to go to an eclipse party and I'm going to start saving to try and get to Spain for the next total eclipse in 2026, which is going to be right around my 30th birthday (screaming). Anyways, it isn't great, but here's my best picture from the '17 eclipse:
I didn't even have a smartphone yet then, because despite it being 2017, I was somewhat of a luddite, so I had the purple flip phone I so stubbornly clung to and a point-and-click Nikon, but I still think this picture is pretty cool for what it is. Here's the zoom in so you can really see that ring of fire (and my shaking hands doubling the image):
Obviously you can find thousands of better eclipse pictures online, but that one's still special to me because it's mine. Anyways, I'll report back with smart phone pictures from whatever I see of the 80% total eclipse tomorrow to compare and contrast with Mystic Falls's 70% annular eclipse of the 90s, because from what I've heard it's going to be much less impressive than full totality was, but I've yet to watch a partial solar eclipse, so I'll just have to find out. Also, if you happen to have any vampiric loved ones trapped in a magical prison dimension who you need help freeing during the eclipse tomorrow, let me know and I'll see what I can do! ;) Hahaha. Anyways, happy eclipse everyone, and may we all possess sufficient self restraint to avoid eye damage (says the woman who has looked at the sun unprotected so many times and is probably going to go blind because of it some day. I know what I've done lol. Don't be me.)

I wrote something else that was and thought provoking but I closed my browser and lost it all so here's what I could figure out and send.
People need to calm the F down. There's a reason why cable and streaming shows have been more successful than network shows in recent years; it's because they usually only get 10-12 episodes a season to work with so they cut out most of the bullshit instead of having boring filler episodes like network shows to fill 22 episodes.
If the show gets 10-12 episodes and they pretty much have 10-12 main characters they should do what Private Practice did in their (I believe) shortened final season and focus each episode on a character. Because yes it is too much story to tell in that shortened amount of time. This way every character gets to summarize their story (what's gone on and where they're going) and when the next season starts they're all up to date. Since this IS an ensemble show they other cast members will be involved as normal tell the main person's story for the week. Because everyone kind of ended the season with a "what's next" so we would need a little catch up. The only downside is we will probably get a Jack centric episode; but we can skip that one and just watch the Maya and Carina clips on YouTube.
I get the purpose of doing character focused episodes in a shortened season but personally I would not enjoy Station 19 doing that lol...especially when most of the characters are annoying. And most times when they're focused on a specific character, the other characters aren't featured in the episode at all. I mean think about how many episodes Carina would be in if they did that...probably like 2-3 at most. Because they wouldn't find ways to include her into a episode focusing on Sullivan, Andy, Theo, etc.
I think they just need to figure out the 3 or 4 main storylines that they want to show throughout the season that are followed up from the cliffhanger last season (What's going on with Jack (even though I really don't care about that), Marina and their baby storyline, the Vic/Theo/Kate mess, Andy as captain) and then just structure it to fit 10 episodes. There's no need to fill in with something new or new characters when there's already so much they need to develop.

Hi bestie,
My turn to ask you a question ;) With all our little talks, I just realised I don't even know what is your favorite Chenford moment? Or moments, 'cause I know how hard it is to choose only one… Is that even possible?!
And what made you ship them?
Hi friend!!!! Omg I love this but also it’s very hard 😂
Well go with my top 5 moments to cut it down lol but in no particular order cause I love them all equally
Tim pulling Lucy out of the barrel
When she asked his advice on dating after the barrel and he felt guilty
Dancing at Nyla’s wedding together — him saying she’ll be on the reports now
First kiss (the whole interaction before that was classic Chenford)
Their first date redo
But also like everything 😂😂
And as for shipping them. I’ve seen these two sporadically on my dashboard since season 2 and always thought “that’s a cute ship. I don’t go there but I ship it” lol and also YouTube kept recommending the clip of Tim pulling Lucy out. I watched it once years ago (with no context of course) and I was like “idk who these two are but he totally loves her” and now that I have context, I clearly wasn’t wrong 😂😂😂
So yeah, I’ve seen them on and off on tumblr for a while and then back in what, like April I think it was, I saw another gif set on here and was reminded of them and that I kinda already shipped it from afar and decided “fuck it, I’m not working right now. We have plenty of time to binge” so I did and was already Team Chenford from the jump. Thanks to some people I followed on here

Hi Kat! For your ask game 🍓 (or dealer's choice if you already got that one!)
Hi Jess! I haven't gotten this one and I love this story! I'm going to give you the full long version... lol
I guess you could say it started when I had my first orgasm at age 34. Is that what you were expecting? lol
That started a chain of events over the next several years that included a final deconstruction of my conservative evangelical purity culture upbringing. I got really mad and also really determined to own my sexuality, which meant exploring my sexuality in a way I never had before.
Thankfully for me, my husband came along with me on this journey. I am very aware it could have gone a different way. So in our exploration we tried a role-playing script or two. It was a lot of fun, but the writing...wow... left a lot to be desired. I wondered if I could do better. It is now the summer of 2020 and I watched The Mandalorian season 1. What happens next isn't going to be what you expect...
I noticed the name Richard Ayoade in the credits for the droid Z. I remembered his name from The IT Crowd, which I love. I had never done the celebrity obsession thing, but I fell HARD. And I decided to write about him. I had never written anything before and I didn't know about fan fiction yet. I had a lot of fun with it!
At the end of 2020, one of my dear dear friends watched Mando season 2 (as did I) and became obsessed with Pedro. She decided she was going to drag me into the Pedro pit with her and started sending me interview clips and photo shoots and youtube videos etc etc etc. I dutifully watched and found him utterly charming, but I didn't get it, until one day I did. After that, she told me a story about someone in her past who Pedro reminded her of. She thought it might be good fodder for a story. It was and I wrote it over the next 6 months or so. You can read it here.
I found I really enjoyed writing romance, but my friends could only read so much. Knowing that I was enjoying writing, my dear dear friend pointed me to tumblr and the existence of fan fiction. I started reading in the fall of 2021. There came a point where I couldn't just consume without telling the authors how amazing their work was, so I made a tumblr of my own in January 2022. I didn't intend to write anything of my own, but I was so inspired by everyone's stories that of course I had to try for myself. And that's how I posted my first fan fic almost exactly 2 years ago!
Thanks for reading my very long story. I hope I actually answered the question! lol
Writer truth or dare

GODDD I JUST REWATCHED THE YNB MUSIC VIDEO ITS SO NOSTALGIC WTFFFF
I still remember logging on in the morning and going onto yt and seeing the premier rahhhhh, also duuude i remember the first time i saw the clip on tommys stream BRO it was stuck in my head for daysss
God i cant believe ive been in this fandom for 3 years (as of this month actually! Lmaoo), that's actually insane
I remember thinking it'd just be a phase too LMAOO i shouldve known better... the marvel movies were my prev fixation and that lasted literally over 10 years so o7
I dont mind it tho, i gen adore this fandom soso much (even with all of its many problems lol) and even tho im soooo slow at writing lmao i really really love my aus and am happy to work on them for years<3
remember how I said in that other ask I just answered that I avoided listening to wilbur's music for a long time after I got into his content bc I didn't think I'd like it? yeah that includes when ynb came out. I'd already been subscribed to wilbur's channel for nearly a year at that point but I ignored literally everything he did that wasn't 100 player videos LMAO
I wish I'd watched that premiere but noooo I just thought all youtuber music sucked so I didn't even bother
despite the fact that I subscribed to wilbur in early 2020 I don't really count myself as joining the fandom until jan 2021 bc that's when I actually started paying attention to stuff and getting involved in the community so I haven't hit 3 years yet, but it's coming up quick. god that's insane.
I can't imagine having a hyperfixation for over 10 years. all my prev hyperfixations only lasted about a year at most?? maybe a year and a half?? so I'm really confused how I've lasted in mcyt this long but I think I figured it out, and it's that my proper 'hyperfixation' actually died out after the first year or so, but I just stayed interested in the content in an intense but not obsessive hyperfixated kind of way. idk I'm not worrying about it too much. I'm having fun and there's always a constant stream of content coming out so I'm gonna ride this interest train as long as I can
I love this fandom too :) and more specifically, if I didn't have the lovely community I have with you guys as my readers my interest in writing fic for mcyt probably would've died out completely, but I'm really glad I'm still having fun here and that we have such a cozy little corner of the internet <3

OT 2023 - GALA 1
We're back aaaaaa !!!! Anyways, just as I did with OT 2020, I will be talking about my top 3 favourite performances every week, as well as some honourable mentions. These posts will work a bit different than the OT 2020 ones tho, cause now the show is exclusively streamed in Prime Video, which means they do not upload the full performances to youtube, only 40 second clips. So, what I will do is link those clips in the honorable mentions and in the titles of my top 3, but I will include the full videos for the pases de micros. For the uninitiated, there are two pases de micros during the weeks; these are performances in the academy in front of the teachers that measure how they are doing and what things they should improve and stuff. Normally I will be posting the second one, cause those are usually best.
Update 28/01. I've updated all links to the full performances in the gala.
Anyways, let's start with some honorable mentions <3
Libertad - OT 2020: The first group song! I would say it was a perfect choice, this song really is perfect as a group song, and they sounded pretty good I think (except Suzette who didn't say her lines
Save your tears - Cris and Ruslana: They were good enough I would say! I thought they sounded good, and I really liked the scenography and such. Good performance 👍.
3. EL ENCUENTRO - PAUL & CHIARA
youtube
Here is the original song, by Alizzz and Amaia :)
When I tell you I gasped when they gave them this song... El Encuentro is one of those songs that make me go feral, it's incredible and a bop and I've experienced it live (with both Amaia AND Alizzz !!!) and it's soooo good I love the feeling it expresses and the way it expresses it and yeah.... I'm so happy they got to sing it. I would say Chiara and Paul were perfect for it, they sounded so freaking good and I loved the acting (which becomes even better now that we know Paul has a crush on Chiara sjdsjdj). Also Paul !!! he was the favourite of the gala (SO DESERVED) and he's one of my faves so yeah :) loved this :)
2. PARA NO VERTE MÁS - ÁLVARO & NAIARA
youtube
Here is the original song, by La Mosca Tse-Tse !
Álvaro and Naiara, my favourite twink and choni duo... They're so iconic... Anyways, they had imo the hardest song to defend (not the most difficult but the most 'nominable' one) and they took a glance at that and said 'no thank you <3'. They were great, ate and left no crumbs, made it so so fun !!! They're the best, also Naiara has such a beautiful voice, possibly my favourite this edition.
1. A TU VERA - SALMA & JUANJO
youtube
Here is the original, by the one and only Lola Flores (La Faraona!!!!!!!!)
THIS SONG. OF COURSE THIS WAS GOING TO BE NUMBER ONE. They were the best ones in the gala by far, and they deserved to shine so much, they worked so hard and had such a lovely connection and friendship, they're everything to me <3 Salma and Juanjo are rapidly becoming my favourites and I want to see them in other styles cause they're both folklore singers (Salma with flamenco and Juanjo with jotas) so this song was made for them. Even then, again, this performance was perfect, no notes.
And that was all! Overall, an average gala? I mean, it was the first one, my expectations weren't too high lol. Let's see what next week brings us, with two trios and both an Ana Mena AND a La La Love You song !!!! The nominees are Suzette and Lucas, and I'm not really rooting for any of them in particular, so I have no idea how it'll be go. Nevertheless, I am back hooked to OT, it was so quick lmao.

001 About Richy and Igor
002 About Igor specifically (wanna hear your thoughts about him in depth :D)
003 about Monty Python characters? if it's even possible?
(I would gladly hear you on 001 about FuB, but as I'm being absolutely too much, I can understand that you don't do it. It's extra content :D)
((Also, you are free to answer to this ask for only one ask and do the others on separate posts for more clarity !))
I reblogged this ask game before reading any of the questions, and after receiving your ask, I read them and now I have to say that my questions are probably gonna be very, VERY underwhelming ::D So don't get too excited, cos I don't think I'm able to give you the type of answers you might be interested in reading :D But I'll try anyway, but know that you're been warned: boredom alert!!!
001 | Richy & Igor
when I started shipping it if I did: Must have been in 2009 when I found out about die ärzte for the first time. I watched every video I could find, including Richy Guitar. At first I didn't really care about the film, and I wasn't exactly shipping R/I but more of obsessing with the clips because of my new Bela/Farin obsession. I got way more into the ship only during the past 2 or 3 years, when I also started writing fanfiction about them, and then it evolved into drawing doodles and comics too.
my thoughts: Uh, what can I say? Head empty, no thoughts. My brain keeps hyperfixating on this ship for no good reason.
What makes me happy about them: Nothing.
What makes me sad about them: Nothing.
things done in fanfic that annoys me: Anything that doesn't align with my own headcanons or is too far away from the actual canon.
things I look for in fanfic: Nothing. Because it doesn't exist, so I have already given up.
Who I’d be comfortable them ending up with, if not each other: No one else.
My happily ever after for them: Idk.
who is the big spoon/little spoon: Idk.
what is their favorite non-sexual activity: Canon? Music. My headcanons? Fast food.
---
002 | Igor
How I feel about this character: Idk.
All the people I ship romantically with this character & My non-romantic OTP for this character: I honestly don't know if it's romantic or queerplatonic or just platonic, but I only ship him with Richard.
My unpopular opinion about this character: I have none. I don't think there are even popular opinions about this character out there.
One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon: I wish to know where does he live. I keep thinking about that caravan inside the abandoned factory, and I keep headcanoning it as Igor's residence but I wish I knew whose place that actually was (the other option is Hans, but yeah, it's never revealed in the film).
my OTP: Richy/Igor lol
my cross over ship: None.
a headcanon fact: He's head over heels for Richard whether that be platonic or not.
---
003 | send me 5 characters and I will rank them in order of preference
You asked about Monty Python characters. I guess it is possible, but just very very difficult because there are not that many reoccuring characters, and the Flying Circus show ran for 4 seasons and there are several films, so the character count could be in hundreds tbh. Often the skits are also more about the joke and topic and less about characters, even when they're often given names. But as I'm writing this, I can feel a potential list cooking inside my head so, here we go!
The Gumbys. My favourite quote comes from these skits: "My brain hurts!" I can't find that as a gif now, but they are these extremely, extremely stupid characters who shout every line of theirs cos they are so dumb. Here's the Brain Specialist skit where that quote is from too :D
youtube
2. The Hell's Grannies. This is just the funniest shit ever and I absolutely love the graffiti they paint as a graffiti and which goes: "Make tea, not love." Here's a link to a video on youtube.
3. Anne Elk (Miss). I just keep rewatching this skit over and over again cos it's so stupid, and the characters just interact with each other in such a funny way, and Graham's character's reactions to Anne Elk are so funny :D
youtube
4. Pontius Pilate in Life of Brian. Ok this movie is full of extremely funny characters, and I would like to mention a handful of others, such as the deaf and stupid character and his companion who's stuttering the whole time; and also that man in the pit who hadn't talked at all until Brian accidentally jumped on his foot. But I still have to give this place for Michael Palin's Pontius Pilate just for that Biggus Dickus scene cos it's probably the funniest movie scene I have ever seen. Palin often had the funniest characters, and it's even funnier when you know that the extras and other actors didn't know about his lines so if I'm correct, all of those laughters were genuine reactions to Palin's acting, and he also was so close to losing it at one point :D
youtube
5. And you know what? I just HAVE TO link here the French Taunting scene from Monty Python & the Holy Grail, just for you XD "Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries!" kills me every time.
youtube
+ And you get an extra just because you're French, this skit and their accents in this sometimes live rent free in my head :D
youtube
THANK YOU so much for the ask btw! I decided to skip the 001 about FUB cos my answers would have not been much different from the RG one, apart from real people not having a canon, and me not really having any headcanons for them for that same reason. So, it would have not really added anything, or would have been even less than what I now got for the answers for R/I.
Funnily enough, I got way more out of Monty Python. It just shows how I don't get attached to characters really, but live for and from humour, and anything that's funny af to me, I like and makes me happy.

Since I've decided not to watch anymore seasons of Grey's. I want to take this time to talk about stuff I probably have no business talking about because I didn't watch the actual episodes. 😅
This is gonna be very out of order.
☆: As much as I like Bailey, Alex should have the board chair. Cristina left it for him and Richard shouldn't even be allowed to Nominate anyone. He's not even on the board.
☆: Maggie and Jackson dating each other is gross. People keep saying it fine cause they didn't grow up together. I don't care. Them being attracted to each other while their parents are dating/married is disgusting. Like that's literally your legal sibling.
☆: if I watched season 14, Casey Parker would have been a favorite character. I’ve only seen clips on him and top tier, him and Cristina and maybe Alex would have been so powerfully unhinged. Lol
☆: Idk the relationship with Maggie and Meredith but I think Maggie expecting Meredith to tell her everything about her life is a bit much, like it’s so much and she just met you. So obviously she’s not gonna be like here’s my life story. Idk what’s going on with Alex but you can’t fault Meredith for trusting him over Maggie she’s known the dude for like ten years…
☆: Maggie 100 percent should waited to be on better terms with Meredith before dropping the “we share a mom” bomb.
☆: I'm so confused on the Maggie and Jackson getting married thing. Because how would that have worked. Husband and wife while also being step-siblings. 🤮
☆: People keep bringing up Lexie whenever they see Maggie and calling her a lexie replacement. Listen one, Chyler Leigh wanted to be killed off the show, she and Maggie could have been friends or whatever. Stop trying to compare the them. Two, greys anatomy had Maggie planned since day one, albeit more so as a brother.
☆: I would have lowkey loved if Maggie was a brother instead of a sister. I just think would have been interesting. Probably something like
Meredith:"I've never had a brother before"
Derek or someone "what are you talking about? Isn't Alex kind of like having a brother?"
Then a cute scene of Alex and Meredith being like siblings. Idk
☆: the Nathan drama of season 13 is wild, after all that drama that happened when Meredith first met Derek. I can't even imagine her seeing someone know her sister Maggie liked and was actively going on dates with. [Tbh i have no idea if there were dates but the clip made it sound like that.] Nathan is trash for not telling Maggie he liked Meredith.
☆: I just saw Meredith and Jackson goodbye, and I actually like them. I remember when izzie came back to work after the merge and Alex, Cristina, Meredith and Jackson were all eating lunch together, and he said something and one of them was like "who invited you here?" And Meredith was all like "I did." That shit was cute. I wish season 10 and lower had more scenes of them being friends.
☆: I don't like Maggie and Jackson, but emotional cheating is still cheating.. it's exactly like what april was doing to Matthew..
☆: not Stephanie trying to blame the harassment complaints on Leah, like she wasn't one of the reasons Leah did it in the first place. Don't crap where you eat? (This is from the episode where Leah returns, I saw a clip on youtube.)
□: While writing this I'm low-key thinking about going back to binge the show for Alex, but he's goodbye is so bad, and I hate him and Izzie so much. I refuse 😤 also I heard Callie character development suffers a lot 😭
☆: Why would they have Callie keep dating the woman who killed her friend? Hate that (I watched the dinner scene on YouTube)
If I see anymore scenes that I'm like oof to, I'll make a part two
Even though I have zero business complaining 😆
#casey parker#greys anatomy season 14#meredith grey#jackson avery#cristina yang#greys anatomy#madison bailey#callie torres#april kepner#maggie pierce#alex karev#izzie stevens#nathan riggs#stephanie edwards#leah murphy#penny blake

ranking all 12 boys planet episodes
disclaimers:
i didn't go back and rewatch all the episodes bc i don't have time for that but i did look at some of the youtube clips and the live + post-episode discussion threads on r/boysplanet to refresh my memory
the overall score is mainly based on how fun/boring the episode was and how much evil-editing was involved
i may or may not have been a bit too harsh with the scoring idk
12. episode 1 (2/10)
pros:
everyone looked so happy here (minus jiwoong who just wanted to sleep), back when they didn't have their hopes and dreams crushed
i enjoyed the brief snippets of the trainees fighting for the p01 seat, wish we could've seen more of that
funny moments:
when hui sang for the p01 seat "battle" and jihoo immediately gave up lol
cons:
i'm sorry but i've always found when the mentors talk to be extremely boring and they talk soooo much in this episode 😭 literal snoozefest
speaking of the mentors, i also don't like it when they laughed at the "bad" performances, like i'm probably just being sensitive but i always felt bad for them 😭
i don't like how much they also keep talking about the k vs g group thing like wdym you guys are besties (also it was just boring)
they also talk a lot about the trainees' dreams and how they've trained for so long and while i think that's sweet i also think it's kinda boring
11. episode 4 (2.5/10)
pros:
most of the training segments for this episode were just boring and sad but the two teams that didn't fail me were both hot sauce teams, like it was just good vibes and not really a lot of conflict
speaking of hot sauce, this was the first episode where we got good screentime and storyline for ollie and phanbin like yessss we love to see it
also some parts from the training segments that i did actually like were when yugeng and yang jun made up and when yedam gave up the killing part to shanbin, idk i thought those were pretty sweet and selfless moments and the mentors didn't show up so
cons:
the training segments were boring and sad and i snoozed through them
also daeul got evil-edited really badly and krystian got evil-edited even more which weren't fun to watch
10. episode 7 (2.5/10)
pros:
some more of my favorite performances in this episode, namely tomboy and limousine, which are S-tier and A-tier respectively. boy do i love the dual position battle performances
while i once again found some of the training segments to be boring i did enjoy nslocb and limosine teams since they didn't really have a lot of conflict and it was just good vibes
funny moments:
the rush hour conflict was not fun but i will say i laughed so hard when ricky and seongmin side-eyed the camera 💀
i know this was supposed to be a serious moment but the haobin massage scene made me laugh so hard 😭 it just felt so intimate and sudden that all i can do is just laugh. also the live chat comments were killing me
cons:
more evil edits yayyyy /s. this time we have the continuation of jingxiang's evil edit from episode 6 plus shuaibo which weren't very slay
once again, some of the training segments were really boring. i'm gonna specifically complain about butterfly bc they set up a whole storyline for junseo only for him to still get last? like girl what was the point of that other than making him look bad
9. episode 2 (3/10)
pros:
i like the part when they react to the first episode together it's fun and i do love seeing them laugh and compliment each other
some cool performances in this episode (nunu nana, the real, shut down), i actually liked these more than the episode 1 performances. the real is S-tier while nunu nana and shut down are A-tier for me
the training segments for the signal song test were a mixed bag between boring and not boring but i did enjoy seunghwan helping daeul and phanbin helping hui, i thought those were sweet. i think i enjoyed those moments bc they were wholesome and the mentors weren't talking LOL
the part where they call their parents made me cry but it's such a touching moment and idk it warmed my heart <3
funny moments:
woongki dancing to my bag in the middle of the night
cons:
same problem as the first episode, i found the mentor comments to be super boring and i sleep through them like how jiwoong slept throughout the entire song level test
some of the training segments were also boring and also just made me sad, especially when the trainees get scolded. also there's too many mentor comments zzzzzz
most of the signal song tests were pretty boring to watch and were honestly a drag. i think it's a combination of i don't like seeing the "bad/mid" performances plus the mentor's comments are boring
8. episode 3 (3.5/10)
pros:
i liked their dorm room shenanigans those were cute
i actually did like seeing the good signal song performances mainly bc they went by quickly and the mentors didn't speak much LOL
idk why but i find the part where the trainees pick their teammates for the k vs g group battle to be so fun, i liked the intensity of finding out the top 10 and waiting to see who the trainees will pick and what song they'll pick and stuff like that
funny moments:
anthonny's eye roll when it was revealed that the next mission is k vs g group again like bro same
when they were about to pick teams and haruto's like "GUYS don't forget about me remember when we ate together??" and then him running towards honghai's team in mach speed like 🫶🏃🏻♂️ when he got picked
when g-group burn it up team was trying to figure out who has the best abs and they weren't impressed by yutaka's skdlfjs
the arm wresting competition was so fun to watch, g-group needs to drink more milk or smth idk
cons:
the part where they practiced and filmed the signal song performance video was boring idk
i've noticed that this show tends to follow the exact same formula where right before a team is about to perform they like do this flashback where they show the team struggling but then it's ok all turns out fine and dandy in the end, which like makes sense ig since you gotta show the backstory and create sympathy towards the trainees but i still find it boring LOL. idk i just don't like seeing them sad and it just feels like it drags along forever to me
there's also some not-so-fun evil-editing moments in this episode, specifically with krystian and kinda jianyu which is sad
7. episode 9 (3.5/10)
pros:
i did enjoy the part where the switch and supercharger teams had to recruit other trainees into their team like idk i thought how they tried to convince them was fun to watch
the outdoor games they played were fun and a vibe
i also really liked the numerous eliminated trainees cameos/mentions in this episode like during that one outdoor game where they had to find their baby photos or when some of the eliminated trainees showed up to the guerrilla showcase for the trainees whose parents couldn't make it or when some of the eliminated trainees showed up to the artist battle live performances to support their friends 🥺
funny moments:
when shanbin pretended to get kicked out of smn when he just needed to use the bathroom like my guy just likes to do a little trolling
when phanbin revealed he learned the switch choreo just for funsies so he slayed getting the killing part
the en garde prank and seunghwan being an amazing actor like get that man an oscar, i'm convinced inyeon ent saw this segment and thought "we need to recruit him"
kamden twin reveal! and their awkward interaction LOL
cons:
ok i know i said i enjoyed the recruiting segments but the trainees getting kicked from over me and smn was just sad
once again the training segments were really boring, honestly probably more so than the previous missions since the mentors seemed to be more present this time around making it even more boring (idk if they actually were more present but that's just what it seemed like to me)
this episode is the second part of the smn conflict and probably the worst out of the three. people were relentless with him after this episode like mnet why do you hate matthew so much what has he ever done to you
6. episode 10 (3.5/10)
pros:
i love love LOVE the little prince musicals. as someone who loves watching musicals this is definitely one of my favorite things they've done on boys planet. the performances were all so fun and i loved seeing them rehearse and it was such a vibe. so many cute moments like gyuvin, yujin, and gunwook "fighting" over hui, hiroto and takuto pairing up together and seungeon forgetting his lines but not giving up and haobin and gyuhui slaying
this episode also has say my name aka THE superior song of 2023, this song won the artist battle, got a perfect all-kill, and won 29304823 daesangs in my heart <3
funny moments:
when they were guessing who the next star master is gonna be and phanbin guessed tbz juyeon, gyuvin guessed hwanhee, and woongki guessed ariana grande
ricky and ollie being paired up for the musical and ricky doing kabedon on ollie and them getting 0 stars for whatever reason 😭
junhyeon just making stuff as he goes during the musical
cons:
honestly this is kind of a minor gripe and doesn't actually affect my feelings towards this episode that much but i'm still salty about how mnet never released everyone's musicals 😔
more boring training segments yawnnnnn. these conflicts are getting so repetitive it's literally just the same thing: mentors check the team, mentors and dissatisfied, the trainees practice more, the mentors are happy. like bro at least show them singing/rapping more instead of just making it all about dance
FINALLY the smn conflict ends and i was pretty satisfied with the ending but i will forever be salty with mnet, like girlypop there was absolutely no need to drag that on for three whole episodes
also my bird died while i was watching this episode live so
5. episode 11 (6.5/10)
pros:
the outdoor games they played were so fun, lots of funny moments from that segment. some cute moments include phanbin's reaction to being a spy and hiroto's cute "dance battle" and "tteokbokki" aka when i lost the idgaf about hiroto war
also there weren't any training segments in this episode thank GOD
funny moments:
when over me team was doing the pulling up pants game and kuanjui just straight-up bit ricky's pants in his crotch area and over me started playing in the background 💀
leejeong doing badly at the spinning elephant game and everyone in over me team thinking he's the spy only to change their minds at the last minute for some reason?? (the fact that leejeong later revealed that he wasn't pretending to be bad and he did actually get dizzy but the editing made it seem like he was acting bad on purpose makes it funnier LOL)
matthew unintentionally getting the word right during the whisper game
the smirks gyuvin and somi gave to each other
cons:
normally i like elimination episodes but ngl this elimination wasn't as entertaining mainly bc there weren't a lot of trainees left. i was gagged by hui and gyuvin making it since i thought they were goners but that was it. also everyone just looked sad during this elimination idk maybe that's just me
everything after the eliminations (when they were picking teams and positions and choosing the killing part) was kinda boring ngl BUT i will admit i actually didn't catch the ending of this segment bc i had a critique for my art class so like maybe i'm not the best judge for that LOL
4. episode 5 (6.5/10)
pros:
as mentioned before, idk why but i really enjoy watching elimination episodes, especially after the episode is aired. idk i just like the suspense and the trainees trying to guess who will get called up and their reactions when someone's name gets called and the trainee being all shocked and everyone congratulating them and idk i think it's sweet. also i love the "hints" the star master gives they're so silly it's like playing six degrees of separation
also there's no training segments thank GOD
i love all the trainees' little intros and how they paired up based on the best mate contest those were super cute
the dance battles were all fun, idk nothing much to say here they all slayed
can i just say i was absolutely GAGGED during the hot sauce announcement like wdym all of k-group survived with some of them barely making it in. phanbin crying from happiness was so heart-warming 🥺
gunwook and hwanhee gossiping during the entire elimination was so fun
i also liked when shanbin and matthew were contenders for p01 and they talked about auditioning for boys planet together and stuff like that got me in the feels 😭
funny moments:
shuaibo doing moe moe kyun at gunpoint with junhyeon
yugeng telling yang jun all of his predictions and getting most of them wrong
the woongki vs keita dance battle was fun but the trainees' reactions are what really take the cake
cons:
ok i know i said i like elimination episodes but obviously i don't like it when my faves get eliminated and jang jiho being the only one left standing in the k-group aju nice team absolutely broke my heart 😭
also the trainees' speeches are pretty boring and they tend to get kinda repetitive pretty quickly
i was pretty disappointed when they suddenly made k-group win the dance battle competition when g-group was leading even if they did end up sharing the pizza in the end
the cultural appropriation prank was NOT it and (most of) the trainees laughing was also not it 😭
the hyunbeen prank also felt pretty mean and it felt like they were skinny-shaming him like idk maybe i'm being sensitive but yeah that was not a vibe
3. episode 12 (7/10)
pros:
i absolutely love the beginning when they introduce the top 18 through fun little films that reflect each trainee's interests and vibes and stuff like that part was so cool
the self-made concept teasers the jelly pop and hot summer teams made were so fun
i LOVE the sleepover and how they talked about first impressions like that is my absolute favorite conversation starter and everyone's just laughing and having fun and roasting each other and remiscing good memories and it's just so wholesome <3
funny moments:
the whole kamden jelly noona thing. no elaboration needed
junhyeon calling phanbin handsome but phanbin not hearing him correctly 😭
kamden asking if he has an american vibe and the other trainees just going "no"
when they tried correcting matthew's pronounciation on jiwoong's name but he still pronounces it like "jiwoon-hyung" anyway
jiwoong's "sorry what was the group name again?"
gyuvin's "sorry i forgot"
cons:
this episode is SO long like i would never rewatch this episode from beginning to end ever again ngl
on a related note, some parts of this episode dragged on for so long like the introduction and how to vote and the group name reveal and the members reveal. like i understand why since this was an actual live episode but yeah i'm not rewatching those parts again LOL
the stuff with the mentors was kinda boring, like i did enjoy the trainees making the flower headwear things and the cakes and the silly little song they sang but everything else was kind of a drag
i thought the fans' messages were really touching and stuff but for some reason i've never liked seeing other kpop fans LOL like idk it just gives me the ick (also partially the reason why i don't really like when mnet cuts to the audience's reaction during performances)
seeing phanbin cry and keita look so sad broke my heart into a million pieces 😭
2. episode 6 (7/10)
pros:
the ghost prank at the beginning of the episode was pretty funny
idk why but similar to the trainees picking their teams for the k vs g group batte, i find the trainees picking their songs and other trainees pushing them out to be so fun to watch, i love the suspense and overdramatization of it all
some of my favorite performances are from this episode, namely zoom and gang, which are S-tier and A-tier respectively
speaking of gang i enjoyed seeing their team interact the most, idk it's just good vibes and the only "conflict" that happened was trying to come up with a bunch of dance breaks but that was figured out relatively quickly
funny moments:
when gunwook pushed woongki out of tomboy and he acted all sad about it at first before strutting his way towards feel special
ricky winking at jiwoong only for him to get pushed out of love killa 💀
junhyeon yelling at shanbin to push out gunwook so that he can join ggang while gunwook is just trying to hide
jiwoong acting all silly and goofy and the birth of mattwoong
the sheer difference between woojin's timid vocals vs mingyu belting out man in love
cons:
same problem i mentioned before with the k vs g group battle, some of these training segments and the conflicts they faced were really boring
this episode planted the seed of jingxiang's evil edit before it fully bloomed in the next episode which wasn't a slay
1. episode 8 (7.5/10)
pros:
another elimination episode :D as mentioned before i enjoy eliminations and the suspense and yada yada yada
once again the intros were very fun and wholesome good stuff
i did quite enjoy watching the trainees go to their artist battle teams and their reactions every time someone joins them, like when the besties woongki and seowon ended up on the same team together or when everyone was so happy to see gunwook in en garde
planet camp tour was pretty fun, i liked seeing the trainees just vibing all around planet camp
the sports day segment was also super fun i loved it. lots of fun moments from the princesses to the chicken fight to the sudden genshin sponsorship
more gagged moments from this elimination, probably the most gagged i've been was when leejeong manifested ranking 23rd
funny moments:
the smn prank has got to be one of my favorite moments in the show. idk i just really like silly pranks like this LOL
hui practicing his why-i-should-be-leader speech in the bathroom is so funny to me like honestly mood
cons:
the training segments for the third mission were such a drag like dang why did you have to ruin a good episode like this smh (i mean granted it was less painful since the mentors didn't show up i think BUT STILL)
also some evil edits here with jingxiang (again) and ichan which were not a vibe
also this episode planted the seed to the mattbin smn conflict which lasted for an unnecessary two more episodes which was also not a vibe
this is all just my opinion no i don't take criticism thanks for reading
#hopefully this post won't make you guys question how much i actually like the show#i do like boys planet but only the fun and wholesome parts#and keeping up with the contestants#boys planet

Okay, so....I did not watch Ahsoka, and I'm kind of glad I didn't?
I like...watched it through tumblr reactions and gifs and some instagram things plus a handful of youtube clips
Now, granted, I might've liked it better if I watched the whole thing and knew context and whatnot, but from what I've gathered, here are the things I like vs...didn't like...(please remember I did NOT watch the show so if you point something out it probably means I just...didn't know about it lol)
Good things:
-Getting Ezra back! I missed my boy! And he's back! And he's just as silly as ever!
-Sabine and Ezra reunion and hug, such a good hug, it makes me happy!
-Decent casting, I agree that Ezra was cast so well! And played the role well! And from what I saw of Sabine and Hera, I think they did a good job too. And of course Chopper is just Chopper lol
-Jacen! It's so fun to see the little boy! I think they cast him well too, he's just a cutie!
Eh things:
-Jedi Sabine...I...I hate this...like so much...for so many reasons...First, if she really was force sensitive, at least Kanan if not Ezra wouldn't known in Rebels (and if there is some like "oh it's activated now for some reason" that...is just stupid to me too tbh). Second, it makes it seem like Sabine wasn't like...enough to just be a cool Mandalorian, she has to have the Force too? Which she doesn't. I loved the whole thing about her knowing how to use a lightsaber from Kanan, only because she had to (or thought she had to). SOMEONE DOESN'T HAVE TO HAVE THE FORCE TO USE A LIGHTSABER OKAY! Not every lightsaber user has to be a Jedi! I just...I hate it so much okay? Let Sabine just be Sabine, don't throw some Force crap on her to make her "cooler" or whatever they were trying to do *rolls eyes*
-"You're like a sister to me." Now I get that like, Sabine lost her family I think? (which, honestly I don't like either now that I think about it) So they wanted to play into that I guess? But it literally is just....fuel for the Sabezra haters to rub in the face of those who ship it. Like, I didn't expect them to become canon (though part of me hoped) but it seems kind of...spitting in the face of some hardcore fans? To me at least. Like, when I watched Rebels, mainly in season 3-4, I always saw them as best friends (with the potential to be more, especially considering some of the looks they gave each other...I mean maybe some siblings look at each other like that but...I'm close with my siblings and I never give looks like that lol) And honestly "You're my best friend" has an emotional weight to it as well, and it seems more in line with Rebels imo. That's really a nitpick for me, but is still something that rubs me the wrong way. Seriously, Star Wars loves just...not letting any healthy relationships be canon or alive...so maybe they are just following that trend (and don't get me wrong, I love found family too and platonic relationships! It just seems like with Rebels that there really was great potential for there to be more with Sabine and Ezra, especially because we know Ezra did have a crush on her. Maybe his feelings changed but like...it was there at one point, you know?)
-Apparently....Sabine and Ahsoka are...now kind of stranded too??? Which...is....so stupid??? Like...Sabine was trying to find Ezra this whole time...because he's her friend and she loves him (you can't argue that she doesn't love him platonically) and she missed him. But now....they are separated again...and maybe it's cause they want to make another season but like...it just...annoys me (and maybe I'm wrong and that's not how it ended, but...I know Ezra saw Hera and it was JUST him so...I think that is how it ended ugh)
-NO HERA AND EZRA HUG! Do I even need to go into this? It literally would've added like five seconds to the show, why would you not show that?!? Hera got such the short end of the stick when it came to hugging her kiddos in Rebels and like....it just...it's a wasted opportunity
-No Ezra and Jacen meeting?!?! This is literally a thing that the fans have been looking forward to for YEARS! On level with Sabine and Ezra reuniting! And....nothing! Once again, I guess they could be saving it for another season? But having it at the end of a season seems way more fitting? And I don't know where Jacen is at the end of the episode, but like...you could always just add one extra scene in? Just...disappointment
I might be forgetting some things and like I said, there might be things I don't know the context for that would make me not as annoyed, but yeah...those are my thoughts...from my watching the show through tumblr lol
#it's possible there are other things that I'd like if i watched it#and other things i'd dislike too#but.....these are the things I heard or saw that made me....feel things lol#aceo rambles#ahsoka spoilers

Music Tags 🎵
Thanks for the tag @catbiodolor and @cornflowershade !! <33
I actually did this a couple days ago, then accidentally deleted everything, so here's round 2 ahjskdjhf
Game #1:
🎶Rules: You can usually tell a lot about a person by the type of music they listen to. Put your playlist on shuffle and list the first ten songs, and then tag ten people. No skipping!
Songs will be from this playlist of around ~130 songs that's pretty much all i've been listening to for the past year or so. It's also majority thai osts so let's see how this goesss
演員 - Joker Xue
I have a friend who really likes this artist, so she got me into some of his music. This song is so good!!
2. เพราะเธอแหละ (MY CALENDULA) - Jackie and Porsche (from Trinity)
This song's so catchy, i've been listening to it a lot in the morning while getting ready
3. อยากร้องดังดัง - Fourth, Ford
First ost !! i'm glad it's this song, because my first exposure to msp was a clip of this scene, which made actually start the show
4. Teenage Cliché - Loving Caliber
This was in the background of a scene in never let me go, and i had to go search it up as soon as i heard it. It's exactly the type of music i used to listen to like 5 years ago, so it feels very nostalgic for me.
5. Tu/You - Armaan Malik
Armaan Malik's a great singer in general, i think i heard this song for the first time tho in a heartliming edit? i'm not entirely sure, but it's so good
6. เป็นเธอใช่ไหม(Have I Found) - Sea Tawinan
One of my fav osts ever. It's so calming and i also listened to it a lot around the start of the year when i was on a beach holiday, so it just reminds of waves and sunsets and rain :)
7. คิด(แต่ไม่)ถึง (Same Page?) - Tilly Birds
Can't listen to this without thinking of bad buddy (which i'm not complaining about), but this also makes me feel so nostalgic :((
8. ยอมแพ้ (Your Smile) - Boun Noppanut
i CAN'T stress enough how much i LOVE this song and boun's voice. This song just makes me so happy <3
9. Euphoria - BTS
the vibes of this song are immaculate
10. ท้องฟ้ากับแสงดาวและสองเรา (No More Empty Nights) - Joong, Dunk
I never actually watched the simm our skyy 2 but this song slaps, probably one of the best os2 osts for me. the chorus !!! is so good ahh
Surprising variety in that list lol
Game #2:
🎶Rules: When you get this, list 5 songs you’ve been listening to & tag people.
I'm just gonna give the top 5 in my spotify on repeat because i think it's pretty accurate :)
แค่เพื่อนมั้ง (Just Friend?) - Nanon Korapat
เพลงที่เพิ่งเขียนจบ (OUR SONG) - Nanon Korapat
I've been reading a lot of bad buddy fic lately, so i've got a playlist with just these 2 songs on it that i listen to on repeat while reading. Nanon was my top artist on spotify last year and I'm pretty sure it's gonna be the same this year lol
ผู้โชคดี (The Lucky One) - 9x9
From the Great Men Academy ost !!! literally such a banger, i've been listening to it for at least an hour or two everyday for the last 2 weeks (not even exaggerating) This should be number 1 but i usually listen to it on my phone, not using spotify
Hidden Track - Trinity
Ahh another banger !! only listened to it for the first time a couple days ago but has been on repeat since. I actually prefer listening to this one live version on youtube, so technically this should also be higher lol
เพราะเธอแหละ (MY CALENDULA) - Jackie and Porsche (from Trinity)
I watched Great Men Academy, then In Family We Trust, and now i'm kinda obsessed with trinity's music (+ 9x9's but they're not a thing anymore ahskdjfh)
This was so much fun!! Tagging @hellswolfie @user-soundwin @thattiredthot @dumb-bitch-brain @plaidcladjuno and anyone else who wants to do it :)
(i've been tagging people a lot in tag games lately, so no pressure !!)
#truly expected that first list to just be the entire msp ost#also usually whenever i put my playlist on shuffle it somehow always ends up with joker on joker#my friend's always saying how it's a sign i should start stanning him#not yet but maybe soon 👀#tag games#me#Spotify
