i saw a bit of the moxley vs penta thing earlier! im really excited for that!
i saw an extremely average guy in the crowd and paused to point at him and my friends marveled at my ability to quickly notice and identify the most basic of bitches in my defense he looked like shane from stardew. the pattern recognition part of my brain is always active and running, at all times
[jericho and garcia vs claudio and yuta]

[backstage with the jericho appreciation society]

renee is interviewing instead of tony schiavone. wait is mjf going to be rude to moxley's wife crude! what LMAO HIS MOXLEY IMPRESSION mjf is so good renee is also so good. not a punching bag the audio issues. i can hear it. the distant ringing... LMAO HES BACKING DOWN ON WINNING CLEAN ooohhh hes promising to not use his ring to win against moxley i trust mjf to keep a promise as much as i am confident in my ability to pick him up and throw him and? i am very weak. i live in fear of mjf aew champ. he will become evil. he will have a reign of terror OH MY ITS STOKELY MJF IS NOT AMUSED BY HIS ANTICS theres so much tension going on here. i dont know whats going to happen!!! there are so many things that could happen!!!!!! WHAT IF MOXLEY IS GOING TO LOSE THE BELT???? i mean not to mjf i mean to penta. mjf didnt say anything about penta or "the winner" going into full gear at 110%, just moxley, right? thats just if you want to mess around and be complicated with technicalities. i do wonder what stokely is going to though… he might just simply Not Take Orders From MJF he certainly has not been hiding it
[sammy guevara vs bryan danielson]
dude im afraid that bryan might lose this match. like hes too much of a good sport and popular to actually get buried but that means the opportunity would be there for him to lose! oh god this match starts off with me afraid hes gonna get squashed by SAMMY GUEVARA LMAO help!!!!!!!!! im not even a danielson superfan but golly he doesnt have that much of a ego, i think. maybe. hes too busy being a weirdo for me to tell if he actually has an ego my friends are wailing about how much they love mjf i cant tell if bryan danielson is following through with his threat to go sicko mode on sammy because we're talking about mjf mjf. mjf. mjf that camera cut made it hard to see that knee strike sammy with the insane move (backflip off the top rope onto the outside) remsburg kick her out!!!!!!!! dang he is so lax wow this match is Q U I E T people dont even hate sammy enough to boo him theyre just fed up. or just generally tired since we're midway through the episode. where is the dead part of the shows? is this the dead slot? this is like the audience of a dark match tay melo is legit getting more boos than sammy here "you stupid dragon! i hate you" LMFAOOOO SAMMY THAT WAS SO BAD OK BECAUSE OF THAT THIS MATCH IS GOOD NOW oh just in time for danielson to get fired up too!! the crowd didnt hear sammy's terrible insult but i did. i love apocalyptically lame insults oooh! spanish fly by sammy "spanish fly" guevara i love the multi flip roll away thing. its one of my favorite spots sammy with the jump up to the top rope. thats such a cool move but i imagine its infinitely hard to pull off which is why nobody dares to do it busaiku knee! here is the danielson violence! sammy defeated. the crowd cheers! i cheer! in relief!
lmao taz "you gotta take care of your group there regal" taz telling regal to keep his house in order. him. from taz of all people. taz of team taz fame
[backstage with alex abrahantez and rey fenix]
fenix: i am confident penta will win the world championship. alex: and you should be a double champ too. with the all atlantic oh! its christian cage and hes saying luchasaurus is the one who deserves fighting for the all atlantic title, moreso than fenix! orange walking in: hey are yall talking about me? are yall talking about my title? wanna have a three way? im sitting on my hands. im not going to say anything about how orange is just walking around, having three ways, i mean it does make sense from a competition standpoint. you technically do less work because you can let the other 2 people fight each other. my god. hes a genius who is also into three ways
[riho vs hayter]
YEAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! im so excited for this match. i love: riho. i love: hayter. riho's outfit very cute and frilly and i love the iridescient silver coloration on hayter's outfit oh! hayters outfit is slightly new too. theres less danglies and the design is difference wow! what a bodyslam from riho! snap suplex! dude hayter's ass is unreal. taunting her!! nobody should fight against someone in the britt baker squad without backup. its bad news! choking. cool. i wish the camera wasnt blocked by the rope schiavone: "how do you spell google" excalibur: "two gs and two os. not in that order" lmaooooo omg hayter grabbing riho to stop the roll move but then succumbing to it eventually! so cool aew la show (crying sobbing) why do they keep selling tickets for la shows at the worst possible times for me financially. also me and my two friends DID all get covid from going to the last show... wait, theres wrestling! code red! sick moves. booo riho lostttt but hayter won… im conflicted
tony storm appears! she is so bronzed. and also? her outfit

GASP! ITS THE FIRM ohhhhhh mjf is gonna be so mad omg the bcc is locked into their locker room!!! oh no! who will help moxley will mjf help moxley…….. HE IS HERE HE IS SO CONFLICTED HE RUNS IN omg the firm should beat mjf up-- THEY ARE lmao THEYRE STRIPPING HIM "please take off my shirt when you beat me up. i need the world to see the abs i have cultivated in my absence" me: what if max caster came out to save him my friends: shut the fuck up. stop talking omg they killed him. faceturn mjf? :) every time i say "faceturn mjf" i know my friend adds 10 more percent to the gloating levels for when he eventually reveals he was pretending to be a good guy the whole time
can you imagine if there was some sort of 4d chess plot where mjf and stokely agreed to do a "pretend to betray me really hard" plot or if there was a 4d chess plot and regal was the one who made a deal with stokely to light a fire underneath mjf im also fine with stokely being an independent troublemaker too. stokely is very cool one of my friends said the most insane thing would be if cm punk was involved which is like the most "never gonna happen" thing of all time but if it did happen (it wont) i'll yell for real (because it would be the most outlandish thing to happen) (hes so fired. im not even playing around here)

I know it wasn't really a question but you brought it up yesterday so I reread Bzzt! (o7) and Siete and Yngwie don't directly interact in that event either
Siete shows up in the first chapter in a flashback where he steamrolls the twins into going to the beach with him by weaponizing the kids which is honestly such a hilariously dick move and then only the final part of the 6th chapter, the very last one, where he at least helps out by defeating the eals and is even an ally in the final story battle before getting bullied in the ending for being a no-show
Meanwhile Yngwie runs into the former girlfriend of the leader of the bad guys of this event who saw Heles and decided that he must make her his which, mood, except his girlfriend wasn't too happy about that so he kicked her out and literally three seconds later she literally falls into Yngwie's arms and he immediately decides to treat her right. Good for her
It's such a funny event though
omg thank you for checking!!
and .... no way.
Siete you're a trainwreck of a person how could you do that to the twins and then not even show up until you come in, late, with a coffee you just bought?
and oh my godddd. I can't blame the guy for giving up everything for Heles because, yeah, mood, though he's a dick about it. But Yngwie being a gentleman over here..... definitely understanding why he has as much charm and ladies as he does huh. that'd work on me too
so glad you had fun!!! at least it was a nice reread ahah
and thanks for the helpful lore of "did those two ever met". tho at this point it's suspicious how many times they appear in the same event and arts and don't cross path. I think granblue is withholding informations from us.

You don't know how happy I am that someone else dislikes Leslie Knope! I love Ben, Ron, April (I mean she's awful but I love her), Donna and Andy. And I WANT to love Leslie because objectively I know she's admirable and inspirational and all that, but then I actually see her on screen and just find her so annoying in every way. I find myself relieved when she's not in a scene. She's so arrogant and pushy and convinced that her opinions are the only ones that matter (and the writers don't help by making Leslie almost always right and showing more and more through the seasons that every semi-decent person adores Leslie and only awful human beings dislike her). You made my day!
LOL i'm glad, this is basically my stance on the characters now (from a previous post)
They’re all exaggerated versions of various personalities, right? That’s what makes them funny but it’s also what makes them super annoying to me now.
Like Leslie is an over-achiever, keener, optimist and is supposed to be, like, a fundamentally good person and I think they do that well but the fact that she’s a steamroller, which they only discuss once, really annoys me now, I would HATE to be her friend, and I remember watching the episode where she was obsessed with the man who said he didn’t think he could have a beer and bowl with her and she organizes an entire night just to prove him wrong and gets mad when he won’t vote for her after she beat him at bowling and it’s like, yeah that guy was an ass and he called her a bitch and that was sexist but I was also like he doesn’t HAVE to like you, leslie, like her obsessive need to control the way people act and react to her is aggravating. Also I didn’t like the way she hijacked Ron’s hunting trip, I think there’s something to be said for her being like, I think you like to hunt with the same people you know you can beat but I also think her inviting herself was shitty. Like she just pushed her way into EVERYTHING and that’s supposed to be part of her charm but it also just increasingly annoys me.
I also understand that Ann is supposed to be the straight man but everyone talks about how forgettable Brendanawicz was and how boring he was but what exactly is so special about Ann? What is Ann’s personality really? What does Ann do? She’s kind of just there. And watching it had me like, I don’t think the writers really know what to do with her either and that made her annoying to me.
OK so like, Tom was meant to be annoying (but also had a heart somewhere deep down) and I get that but he just annoyed me so much more this time around. Like his selfishness was just, who would ever want to spend time with you? He hijacks everything.
Ron didn’t annoy me neither did Donna or Jerry. Ben was OK.
And like I said, I still find the show funny but the characters just had me like, omg please shut up half the time as well.

Give me your top five Glee characters, and give explanations as to why! ☺️
1. Kurt
Okay do I even need to explain??? lmao his sweet ass. He’s compassionate, loyal as fuck to the people he cares about and is extremely genuine and honest. One of my favourite things is Kurt’s transparency, like his ability to just be true to himself is something i just love about him. He is also..... hilarious as heck and his wit is just *chefs kiss*. I think Kurt (and this is credit to Chris Colfer’s acting ability) has such a beautiful character arc, with growing more and more comfortable in his skin throughout the seasons and being open to love and intimacy from others was hard for him to begin with, and he just becomes so sure of himself and its just beautiful lol. He is also extremely talented and confident in his abilities but not in an annoying ass way (e.g. Rachel) like he knows how good he is and just like believes in himself enough to know that he can make it in the big wide world! Kurt is so strong, he just gets absolutely steamrolled and he’s able to just keep his chin up and keep kicking and focus on what’s important and the people he loves!! He is so like..... considerate of other peoples feelings too like when he offers to go to a movie instead of prom w Blaine bc of what happened to Blaine, and also trying to be nice to Rachel after she f’s up her NYADA audition, and also, being there for Sam when his family was struggling and keep it on the down-low even if there were rumours
Y’ALL I AM FKN SOFT RIGHT NOWOW I LOVE HIS ASS i could seriously go on forever.......
okay so this is like really long ????? lol i had to put it under a tab for the rest of the people....
2. Blaine
Blaine just like is always radiating sunshine omg idk he’s just always really friendly and nice. Like think back to when Kurt first asked him for help on the staircase, he willingly listened and willingly whisked Kurt away on an adventure!!!! He’s just The Good Guy I feel, even tho we only really get to see “surface Blaine” bc the writers suck, but he also dealt w some shit and became stronger because of it. He also loves Kurt so much which just makes me all gooey lol. He is also such a fierce competitor, like his team is so important to him and he gives everything 110%, like every performance, and I respect that!!! He’s a positive leader (even if it can be a little controlling sometimes) and extremely humbled about his talents so like. Bless his heart!!!!
3. Sam
I really like Sam bc he was one of the only Glee guys that just..... treated everyone the same, like he had no indifferent thoughts about people and wasn’t like judgemental. He was very loyal and protective of his friends, particularly Kurt and Blaine, and since they are obv my favs, it makes me Soft. Sam also treats the girlfriends he had with nothing but respect and love, which is so nice to see, even tho he was so unlucky in love in the whole show lol like he deserved better. Also, his dumbass energy just. hits different and I LOVE IT. Seriously he just cares for everyone I think and is also a Good Guy.
4. Burt
I mean..... come on best TV Dad ever lol. I aint even gonna go on a whole thing bc it’s Burt Hummel and i feel like we all understand why he is the best
5. I couldn’t think of my 5th favourite LMAOOOO

13 Songs Tag 🎵
rules: You can only use one artist for the entire list (no multiple songs from the same artist), so we can all kind of spread new music to the people we tag. Try to listen to at least one of the songs people recommend here
1. A song you loved the first time you listened to and never got tired of? “Soufflé” by Audrey Nuna - this is a pretty chill song but also a little trippy, it’s hard to describe without actually listening to it but it’s got a nice vibe and is totally unique so i end up listening to it on repeat for a long time lmao
2. A song that makes you cry/get emotional every time you listen to? “행복했던 날들이었다 days gone by” by Day6 - this was the first song that popped up when i turned my music on after hearing the news that my grandpa had died. it gave me comfort and still does to this day, and despite the song being about remembering a former lover/significant other, the falling out presented in the lyrics sounded very similar to my grandpa and i’s relationship and how we used to be really close and grew more distant the older i got and after i moved away. i hadn’t seen my grandpa for three years when he died, but i still have the memories of when we were closer and during very happy times, so this is a very bittersweet song for me
3. A song that always makes you happy? “MIROH” by Stray Kids - this song always makes me wanna get up and dance no matter what mood i’m in, it instantly perks me up and makes me feel better and more energized after listening to it. i love the faster paced songs and this is right up my alley so it’s perfect if i’m trying to cheer myself up
4. A song you would dedicate to your best friend and/or your family? “Hard Times” by Paramore - this is to my best fucking friend in the whole world who i love so much. i know we struggle a lot both separately and together, but we got each other in this big mean world and i’ve got your back no matter what. this is our favorite band, and it gives me flashbacks to us driving around our little ass hometown in high school (even though this came out WAAAAY after we graduated lol) grabbing wendy’s french fries and cheese sauce, just talking and laughing and crying together. you’re not on tumblr much anymore and you dont follow this blog because you arent a kpoppie like me so you probably won’t ever see this but i am so happy you tolerate my annoying rants about whatever tangent i’m on, thank you for everything, you make the hard times easier, i love you forever, ILYBBBBB!!! IANGSLYBBBBBBB!!!
5. A song with production (sounds, beats, mood, etc.) you love? “Yummy” by Justin Bieber - i have such a love/hate relationship with this song, because the instrumentals and beats are so addictive! the lyrics though....so horrible omg if i was his wife i would be offended this was the best he could come up with for a song written about me i’ve never been a bieber fan either so i was expecting to completely hate this song, but the instrumental is enough to keep me listening to it, idk, it’s definitely a guilty pleasure song though (the remix of it he did with Summer Walker is SO MUCH BETTER, SHE SAVED THIS SONG FORREAL PLEASE CHECK IT OUT)
6. A song with perfect, amazing, outstanding lyrics? “Norman fucking Rockwell” by Lana Del Rey - HOOOOO BOY LANA WAS NOT FUCKING PLAYING WITH THIS SONG, BILLIE EILISH IMMA LET YOU FINISH BUT NFR SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN ALBUM OF THE YEAR JSJS. but seriously, this is such an eloquent ‘fuck you’ to those pretentious ass guys we all come into contact with and honestly, how raw of a line is ‘you fucked me so good i almost said i love you’? VERYYYYY, LANA IS QUEEN
7. A song that you would recommend to anyone? “Color Blind” by Maddox - this is something i would more so recommend to someone who was maybe just starting to get into kpop/k-r&b or isn’t really a fan of the boy/girl group stuff, it’s much more mellow and a really beautiful song, but i would also recommend it to anyone as a good song to listen to because it’s very easy listening and Maddox has such wonderful vocals
8. A song you don’t understand why you like so much but you do anyway? “Cry for Me” by Camila Cabello - ......ngl i dont care for lil miss camila as a person but i dig this song a lot, it’s got a good beat and is a pretty spiteful song i can relate to when i’m feeling petty, reminds me of a particular ex i wish was able to see how they hurt me but that’s all in the past now
9. A song you think people in general don’t like but you do? “Cherry Bomb” by NCT 127 - idk why people don’t like this song???? genuinely???? it’s actually the song that made me stan NCT in the first place, and tbh the ‘if you happy and you know it clap your hands’ made me roll my eyes but it was (AND STILL IS) a complete bop, and it really surprised me when i heard that a lot of people hated it
10. A song people normally like that you don’t? “Feel Special” by TWICE - BEFORE YOU COME FOR ME, I DO ACTUALLY LIKE THIS SONG! however, i like “Fancy” a lot better, but the consensus with most onces is that “Feel Special” is superior, which i disagree with. both songs are great, but my personal preference is more upbeat happier songs, hence why i like “Fancy” better
11. A song you would call a masterpiece? “Dope Queen Blues” by Adia Victoria - this is arguably my favorite genre/style of music and it is just perfect, Adia Victoria is a wonderful artist, she has a perfect blend of melancholy lyrics, a haunting voice, and plenty of soul that just genuinely makes this song (well any of them really) a true masterpiece in my opinion, definitely listen to her if you love blues/soul music
12. A song you recently (within the last 30 days) discovered and really liked? “No Shame” by Eric Nam - i had been meaning to listen to some of Eric Nam’s music because i never had before but wanted to give it a try and this happened to come on my playlist earlier today and i really dug it right of the bat, so i’ll definitely need to check out more of his stuff
13. A song you listen to that gets you pumped/ready to tear down the government/fight? “Absinthe” by punchnello - this song makes me wanna punch holes in walls and curb stomp bitches that test me, it’s so aggressive and i like listening to it when i’m pissed off about something or other (also i would never actually curb stomp someone, i’m too much of a softie and i get steamrolled on the daily because i’m a huge pushover)
holy shit this was actually a lot harder than i expected it to be, but thanks to @thefullmobb for tagging me in this, i really liked doing this! i will be tagging @kihyunsbabe @wonuflower @wonseoks @dejoovu @baekhyunbitz @joohoneybunch @broccoli-channie-soup and anyone else who would like to participate!

LOOKING FORWARD TO SOMETHING WHOLESOME
another steve yockey episode?? screenplay by someone called meghan fitzmartin. sweet

;~; cas and his soothing, stimmy things
i love him i love him i love him
-
03:58
oh maaaaan i love sam and cas but WHAT I WOULDN’T GIVE TO HAVE DEAN AND CAS ON A DATE IN A MILK SHOP
-
03:59
oh the milkshake probably turns people kooky and sam’s gonna turn but cas didn’t drink the milkshake so he’s gonna be fine
edit: damn i got got.  but also yeah cas was fine
-
04:01
did cas say “like a ripe melon ON the sun”?
yes he did
but why
-
04:03
i like that this town seems pretty diverse despite the general view we see nowadays of the 1950s
-
04:04
the way dean shrugs and say “i like bacon”
is so nauseatingly cute
i wanna cry and squish him 
-
04:05
I KNEW HE HAD MICE SOMEWHERE
in my fic the snake makes friends with the mouse jack tries to feed him (the fic is a 14.5k dean/cas smut fic called Measure of Thigh Love and will be posted here tomorrow)
-
04:07
lady: “morals. gotta have morals”
*eyes cas”
“you know”
whAT DOES IT MEAN
does he look like a good boy, an upstanding pillar of the community, definitely not a perpetually confused hot mess in love with a freckly bisexual trashbag
-
04:08
the fact cas so calmly and blankly reads the pornographic letters talking about the guys dick
i just
does anyone even understand how much i love him
every fucking thing he does or says makes me love him more
-
04:12
Tumblr media
ANGEL FOOD CAKE & DEVILS’ FOOD CAKE
YEEEEEEEEAH OkaY DEAN
i literally just posted a fic where he eats angel food cake
AND DEAN WILLINGLY BOUGHT CAKE
BISEXUAL DEAN /  DESTIEL ALERT
also?? feeding a snake angel food cake? 10/10 good omens vibe
but also god no THE SNAKE DOESN’T EAT THAT but i love the journey they’re going on to find out what the snake eats
-
04:16
the fact dean panicked that jack was choosing the devil’s cake over the angel one
um
maybe he just liked chocolate
BUT ALSO
PROOF THAT CAKE ALWAYS REPRESENTS SOMETHING
-
04:18
the house lady has an mp3 player / headphones?? maybe she’s the centre of all this
edit: maybe they had pink headphones in the 1950s ????
-
04:19
bird poop all down cas’ car aww
-
04:21
Tumblr media
like
i know everyone’s dying and it’s clearly terrible
but also i find the vibe of this town very calming
the clock ding-donging in the background especially, when cas visits mrs smith
also her apron is pretty
-
04:22
cas: “the tall man.......... hair? he has beautiful hair?”
that’s fucking c u t e
if dean heard that he would complain for 6 hours straight and not let it go, ever, and he’d say it’s because he doesn’t like sam’s hair but it’s secretly because he’s jealous, both of sam’s hair and also that cas thinks it’s beautiful
-
04:26
the “hey you’re a woman make me a drink/dinner” thing is highkey irking me though
unsure if that’s the town or just sam
then again he was clearly under the influence the first time he asked for coffee too
-
04:28
Tumblr media
cas: “you will snap the hell out of it!!!”
sam: *flinches* “sir, you watch your mouth”
omg
-
04:30
haitch eee double hockey sticks
-
04:34
clearly jack does still have some soul because he cares about the snake
-
04:36
Tumblr media
when the light gets his eyes like that he doubles in prettiness
-
04:44pm
Tumblr media
THAT PARALLEL TO WHEN CAIN!DEAN DIDN’T STAB CAS
-
04:46
cas: “GOD HAS A BEARD”
-
04:49
cas: “yeah, i told him about the cardigan”
10/10 shoutout to the fact dean and cas talk off screen
-
04:51
“i’ll help you”
oh no is he gonna kill the snake
oh no oh no
-
04:52
oh maaaaaaaaaaan i dunno how i feel about that ending
and thus i don’t know how to feel about any of this
i loved the slowness and the softness of this
and i LOVED seeing so much of cas
but after the ending all my emotions just got steamrollered
i loved that the girl saved the day by overthrowing her abusive father but also not killing him and also giving him a nice ending, so to speak
i love that there was some representation in here even though i never caught anyone’s name besides sam’s “JUSTIN SMITH” and griffin
dean and cas seem to talk in the kitchen a lot which is nice !!!
i dunno i’m just sad about the snake... jack did the right thing maybe? but also i’m bummed out about it
sooo much snake/angel/cake symbolism <3
i’m looking forward to reading metas and stuff about this episode, especially about how the sam+cas stuff is actually dean/cas stuff in disguise, because frankly it kind of looked like it even though i could’t say how at this point i time
i FREAKING LOVE SEEING SAM AND CAS WORK TOGETHER THOUGH. SO MUCH. can only imagine how hard it was for misha and jared to film this though. especially the scene where cas reads the pornographic letters, and when jared is lying on top of misha
cas casually reading porn is the best
cas bringing sam out of hypnotism by relating to him about lost armies was probably my favourite part though
i mean, excluding the bits where dean and cas talk because dfjsdjgfd i love them i can’t help it
10/10 i guess? i can’t think about anything to complain about :P was a pretty good, solid, all-rounder, yay

Final Fantasy X-2 HD Remaster Part 1 - Chapter 1 & 2 on YRP’s Adventures
Tumblr media
I still think that for all the dress spheres, only the main ones (including the songstress) had effort put into it because I remember the rest being pretty ugly lmao. . Anyway! Always happy to see Rikku. Not too fond of her costume since she’s barely wearing anything LOL, but I guess it suits her despite that. Leblanc the thief dancing in the form of Yuna is still weird lol, I know she took her garment grid but does that make her take on her face etc too?? Lol, I never understood that. I always find it so funny to go touch the crouched Yuna wearing the moogle costume to heal your HP/MP hahaha. I remember everything about the introduction so not much to say besides, I wonder when Yuna learnt to use a gun? Still think Yuna’s Gunner costume is like female Tidus, but I guess since the focus of FFX-2 is her seeing a sphere of Shuyin thinking it’s Tidus so she goes around looking for similar spheres to see if she can somehow find him again, it’s a very fitting costume haha. Brother learning their language to communicate better with Yuna is so cute. Anyway, let’s see if I enjoy FFX-2! I don’t remember much about it but I remember thinking it was okay…hahaha.
I still remember the running after and beating Leblanc to the top of the Mt Gagazet ruin in a limited amount of time! I remember thinking it was so annoying because I was so lost the first time I did it, and the timer being annoying didn’t help hahaha. Think I missed one item but whatever, I got there with like plenty of time to spare XD The most memorable optional visit is definitely the Luca one, I think it’s so funny to see Yuna’s perspective of the beginning, since she had to hide in a moogle costume whilst Rikku and Paine dealt with Leblanc the thief haha. Yuna’s so expressive in her moogle costume that it was pretty funny. Dona and Barthello in Luca are as meh as usual, never been fond of Dona haha. Running through Mi'ihen highroad was dangg tiring though, so many battles loll, the encounter rate is high. Oh well, I guess I learn my skills that way.
I remember visiting the Youth League headquarters and talking to Maechen, he gives a nice little background on what happened in these two years and how the Youth League came to be so it’s worth a listen even if it’s a bit long. Considering that Clasko enjoyed taking care of chocobos, I’m not sure why he’s playing tour guide here, at least he follows us along on the airship after? LOL when he asks if he can come along and the no option is “sorry loser”, so mean hahahaha. I also remember the mission at the Moonflow where you have to protect the hypello from bandits! I remember failing in the past hahahaah, I guess I’m better now since I did it on the first try?
Gippal was and will always be my favourite new guy in FFX-2, Nooj and Baralai have always been pretty meh to me. Gippal is funny, cool and pretty cute. I guess alike others, I would ship him with Rikku hahaha. As the leader of the machine faction, he’s doing a lot of good for Spira as well since he’s helping to improve their lives, such as fixing the lightning rods in the Thunder Plains so that we’ll never need to dodge lightning ever again hahaha! I still remember Macalania Woods very well because I really love how ethereal it all looks and since Tidus and Yuna had their scene here, it’s hard to not think it’s a beautiful place. So really, thinking about how the Fayth not being here anymore is causing the woods to slowly die is just so saddening. It only adds to the sadness to see the once proud Guado be left scattered everywhere, hiding in Macalania and other places after not being able to fend off the Ronsos that came for revenge. Considering how much the Guado did in support for Seymour, it’s difficult to not hate them, nevertheless it’s still sad though.
The Calm Lands seem even more vast now, so many mini games but yeah omg, that publicity campaign for one of the companies there, I remember that! I remember thinking it was so annoying lol. Had to track my footsteps and go back to all the places I went to, just to talk to all these people to get those publicity points zzzz. Argent it is btw! Seeing Kimahri as elder is really nice, too bad his job is difficult so it’s hard to get the approval of everyone there, but he’s trying so I’m happy. Wakka and Lulu expecting a baby is all I remember about Besaid haha. It was bad of Yuna to leave without telling anyone but I think it was the right choice, it was about time Yuna got the freedom she could never have and explore the world she saved. I remember silly Wakka hoping to find a sphere of his parents so that he could see how he should act as a father, but really, he just needs to act how he thinks he should and learn from there, no one knows how to be a parent from the start.
Lol, Yuna and them were so happy to steal that awesome sphere from both New Yevon and the Youth League and then felt bad so decided to return it to one of them? Okay lol. I’d definitely choose to give it back to the Youth League, so thankfully you have to choose them to get the 100% completion. I mean, New Yevon just continues to hide things all the time, like all these spheres etc, how do they want people to trust them? Well, Beclem (the guy that lets you play gunners gauntlet) is such an ass, no respect for the person that brought about the Eternal Calm, actually, he’s got no basic respect for even her as a person, zzzz. Otherwise, gunners gauntlet is a pretty fun game, I’m not bothered to get the points but it’s cool to shoot fiends with different bullets haha. Shelinda being a reporter now is very fascinating… Considering that she’s left the temples because she didn’t want to be ordered around like a slave anymore, why does she still wear her temple garments? Where’s her makeover lol. Seeing Calli (the girl that was excited for the Calm in FFX on the Mi'ihen highroad) was nice, just because it really shows that time has passed and people had the room to grow up doing what they want. Not sure if chocobo rights are best argued by saying we should get to ride them throughout the highroad since I feel like they should roam free but okay lol. At least the chocobo catching game was a bit fun, seeing it surrender was so cute but saddening lol.
If Yuna really joined the Youth League and got a Yunie Squad, that would be so funny loll. But really, as a high summoner and the person who brought the Calm, I’d agree that she should stay as neutral as possible but side more with the Youth League just because they really do have Spira’s best interests at heart. Not sure what Tobli’s concert is for but if I get the profits, sure thing! Easy way of earning 12,500 gil, yay! The data seller at Guadosalam is cool too! Got 70,000 gil for selling the data to the right person! Could have kept restarting to hopefully get the 100,000 gil but I was too lazy hahaha. As for the Thunder Plains mini games with calibrating the towers though? I hated that, I remember the pain so well lmao. I could only do 6 towers and gave up lolol. Could probably do 7 but if I can’t do all 10 to get the ribbon, why bother? Hahaha, sorry my reaction speed and hand eye coordination just isn’t that great lol. I also want to preserve my sanity. We even got Tobli the musicians at Macalania! Really, Tobli, what are you even doing lmao. Still sad to see them talk about how Macalania Woods is nearing its end since the Fayth are gone… Seriously though, everyone needs help lol, even Clasko deciding to open up a chocobo branch needs YRP to clean out the monster arena and catch chocobos for him lmao. I really wonder what Clasko really did as a soldier if he can’t even clean up some fiends though…🤔 Oh well, whatever, as long as he’s happy lol.
Alike Yuna, seeing Zanarkand as a tourist spot never sat well with me, so if pairing up monkeys can make them multiply and cause a monkey problem that will prevent people from coming, I guess it’s good? Lol, nah, I don’t like the idea of Zanarkand filled with monkeys either lmao, can’t they just label it as a historical site to be preserved? Sigh. Lmao at the way Yuna holds the monkey when you’re pairing them up though, it’s like the Lion King🤣🤣 Seeing that YRP quite blatantly stole the Leblanc syndicate uniforms (and spheres!) at every encounter, you’d think Ormi and Logos would strengthen their security on the premises but nope, YRP easily infiltrates! Also, kinda disappointed in Yuna dipping in the hot spring on Ronso sacred grounds, Kimahri trusted her to understand that so I didn’t think she’d be like the Leblanc goons and do such a thing as well, so yeah… Anyway, Leblanc is so smitten with Nooj, I wonder if he likes her at all? Are they together? That massage game was weird though lolll, I swear FFX-2 has the weirdest mini games to complete. How would I know which part Leblanc wants me to massage?!? Yes, I kept cracking her bones LOL. Anyway, just wanted to say that I’m glad I don’t write walkthroughs because I’ve been steamrolling through these boss battles so I don’t even know what they really do lmao. Paine as a Festivalist, Rikku as a Psychic and Yuna as a Songstress is the team I’ve been levelling and it easily deals with everything besides any instant kill moves lol.
Hmmm so there’s some sort of machina at the bottom of Bevelle called Vegnagun that could destroy all of Spira… Wouldn’t it suck if Yuna brought the Eternal Calm but then they all get killed by this machine? Lol. At least Nooj is aware and hopes to disassemble it before anything happens, guess Gippal might give him a hand? Not sure what Baralai’s objectives are right now though~ I see, so Baralai thinks that Vegnagun is too dangerous and shouldn’t be touched, so he’s stopping everyone from approaching, which is fair enough, what if it activates because you come close or whatever, very risky. Otherwise, underground Bevelle was pretty annoying with all the jumping, operating machines in different ways to get chests, kinda confusing but I guess it’s probably worth it? Lol, always good to get a ribbon! Anyway, fighting Dark Bahamut was kinda saddening, not the way we wanted Yuna to see aeons again, since it wanted to kill them etc. I wonder what happened to Vegnagun and Nooj and Baralai? Where did they all go?

Riverdale Raw Thoughts
Binge watched Riverdale last night as my Netflix membership for the month was expiring. (Not renewing again until early November to watch S2 The Crown and other stuff I’m waiting on) - Like I literally stayed up from 9 pm to 6 pm this morning watching the show straight and then went to bed and woke up at noon.
Cheesy dialogue aside, it was pretty great for what it was.
But it suffered from the same thing Scream Queens did - interesting core plot, but cheesy cringy writing and too many pop culture references to pander to their target audience demographic (I’m assuming 18-34)
Wishy-washy social commentary: 
FP Jones ain’t shit but Jughead has a cute beenie and is sensitive so he’s a-okay.
 Alice Cooper grew up on the “wrong side of the tracks” but married well so now she’s determined to keep south side trash out by joining the “neighborhood watch” and using her white woman hood, white feminism and ‘come-uppance’ privilage to publish edgy think pieces.
Betty Cooper has some pent up rage that is sorta overlooked because it was “for good” (doing it for the girls and trying to get revenge for Polly - and because the guy was Black, thinly veiled anti-blackness) until it isn’t overlooked but simply mentioned . Then she initally starts using Jughead and Jughead calls it out and she kind of agrees and says she has “darkness” in her - until something happens again and she decides to “let the darkness out” and be selfish and blame it on something else again.
Jughead getting dealt a piss poor hand, being okay at the South Side school (he’s a gang member - arguably gang leader or liutenant’s son...of course he’s fine jesus fucking christ Riverdale) until the trio of good show up to...talk to him and comfort him? and they realize he’s fine.
Betty making a white feminist speech about the town needing to do better because yes although her boyfriend’s dad is a Serpent he’s a good person and although her parents told her to shut her mouth she feels it’s the right thing to do. [She actually did not care about the Serpents before and her buds Veronica and Kevin  heckled them during the last drive in movie screening.but whatevs] After the speech she has no solution or propsed ways the town can “do better” and there’s this awkward silence and everyone’s favorite punching bag has to clap it up so people blindy accept that lackluster speech. (I don’t expect a teenage girl to fix the towns problems but if you wanted to tackle the issue and get people talking shouldnt’t you also have some thoughts other than people not being mean to your boyfriend?)
Jughead not having shit and the gang seeing him enter the trailer with a girl and (maybe wanting to keep a pg 13 rating) stop him before their steamy make out session leads to something more give him a jacket to become a serpent and Betty is angry that he’s trying to survive and embracing the gang life that he’s essentially grown up around and will be surrounded by until he comes of age.
Archie’s dad’s forhead. my god. not social commentary but damn it bugged me.
Archie and his hottie teacher banging without impuity and her being allowed to quietly leave after obviously being a predator and dangerous person. (did they ever give her back her gun??? IS that what Alice uses when Hal breaks back in? Did Hal ever mention he stole the evidence to the sheriff even after it came to light FP was innocent?)
Archie wanting the pussy cat’s to use his song so he manipulates one of the band members (Valerie), dates her, uses their connections, ignores her, and when she dumps him and tells him why he isn’t shit he somehow doesn’t get it.
Valerie being acceptable to date because she has blue eyes and light skin but she’s rarely heard from when she’s no longer helping archie’s ‘music career’ but simply dating him.
Archie playing along with Cheryl’s crazy ass family “for his music” as an excuse to be selfish.
Archie trying to be a tortured soul when his dad point blank asked him why he’s lying if he wants music that’s cool it’s just unstable; someone else (Veronica I think?) kind of saying why are you being like this no one is making you choose between Football and music; someone bringing up he was only music when he was banging his hottie teacher; the football team heckles him once but they seen he’s Troy Bolton & they accepted him - everyone fucking accepted him but himself like christ and he spent the whole season searching for validation of his self worth in women and girls.
Just Archie I mean christ lmfao. You don’t like Betty, You make out with Veronica, you decide your really into your hottie music teacher and manipulate her into music lessons (although she manipulated the hell out of him as well), when your dad starts getting a boner for her you try to cut contact with her short, people find out, you decide the pussy cats are your answer, they explain they are black and because of the culture they have had to fight hard and they can’t have a white man just step in and run shit, archie the white man steps in and runs shit, archie breaks them up, Archie says he can’t perform alone and manipulates Valerie playing on her insecurities to leave the band, archie decides “he was wrong” and Veronica decides to help him, he ditches Veronica because he looked within himself and realized he wasn’t shit, he patronizes jughead and only resumes their rocky friendship because he wanted him to keep the secret about him banging their hottie teacher, he’s semi jealous that jughead is dating Betty, archie then really wants Veronica and wants to make sure Betty isn’t jealous. He keeps playing the hero...something which probably got his dad killed at the end - If there’s a s2 I haven’t seen it yet)
Veronica Lodge is hella famous by name and it’s a small town everyone knows who she is and she even points out that she expected more people to talk to her and acknowledge her divine presence but Kevin is like “lol you got overshadowed by another rich person’s death” /s but... Ethel Muggs truly has no fucking idea who she is? No incling? No rumors? Is she really that much of a rock-dweller?
The whole incest baby thing....the josef mengele joke...the fact that Jason and Cheryl were twins.....the eugenics joke when Cheryl’s face says them damn well know they practice eugenics and ethic breeding and need to keep up the “blossom apperance” (Her dad’s red wigs, using Archie as a stand-in for Jason...but I digress -  just touch on the topic to sound edgy and draw controversy but leave it shallow eh?)
The whole “lol let’s ship our pregnant daughter away to a literal convent in 2017 because I was shipped to a convent in the late 80′s early 90′s- but why is she mad at me I love her I’d never do anything to hurt her like ambushing her and having her dragged away against her will as an underage expecting teenager lol”
Hyping big bad black football player up to fuck shit up at Archie’s party and in reality he kinda did...nothing? lmao  (a la Jughead’s aminous V.O. about “no one expected what happened at that party” or some shit )
The whole “the sins of the father don’t or shouldn’t reflect on the daughter” but Veronica gets away scott free essentially and Cheryl literally loses everything because I mean fuck those Blossoms amirite lololol /S
Archie looked like Jason, got his number initially before retiring it (lol kind of insensitive to have his doppleganger become team captain for plot purposes later on ) and the Blossoms essentially used him because he mirrored Jason at the tapping ceremony.
The name Hermione Lodge lmfao she’s not old enough for the HP book reading mom boom.
Hermione Lodge and Hiram Lodge’s intials on that stupid fucking bag.
Veronica being rich and intelligent but her morals making her real fucking dumb. (I wanna go home but I also wanna coddle everyone my daddy hurt but I still wanna be rich lol but I’m implicating my mom and she’s literally begging and pleading me to stop and having crying fits but lol justice and my chanel bags hahaha and I’m gonna go clubbing and shopping even though my mom is working as a waitress and flirting with her old hs boyfriend to secure a job so we can continue to float and not drown and not be taken down by the families my dad hurt lololol omg archie is a hot prince harry hipster ginger amirite lololol the met gala lalala rich girl things new york lol)
The whole plot demand that Veronica win the impromptu HBIC dance off when big red Cheryl actually killed that shit and Veronica danced like a fucking robot.
ARCHIE HURT HIS HAND PLAYING FOOTBALL AND CRACKING THICK ICE WITH HIS BARE BLOODY KNUCKLES HOW DOES THE GINGER WONDER STILL HAVE USE OF THAT HAND ? The body heals but it’s never the same after repeated exposed trama’s to the same area in a short period of time.
.....I’ve ranted enough about this and I didn’t even mean to.
The last two episodes seemed to have been steamrolled for the sake up tying up loose ends to create a cliffhanger for another season.
Again, good for what it was....but... I truly enjoyed that the real villian was capitalism. Good job millenials.
 (not sarcasm. Capitlaism destroyed Jughead’s future a la his father FP and Fred Andrews - The Coopers and the Blossoms - Josie McCoy’s mom - “Criminal” capitalism Hiram Lodge ruining his associates lives, the small town not working for everyone -  Archie’s mom moving (after seperation), Jughead’s mom moving, Veronica’s mom moving back because she can survive in their economy on the nest money Hiram left....) etc etc
These small cosy “uppercrust white” town just isn’t safe anymore.
I mean have you seen that new negro mayor? That wealthy latina woman and her daughter?That negro coach and his star player son?
Remember - without Capitalism there is no social inequality, systematic racism, white supremacy, classism, etc etc
(also my personal issues with one of the actors colored this a bit biased....but on how things went it was cool.)
Also our culture has a real hardon for the 1950s eh? I know it’s based on the Archie Comics but Stranger Things, 13 Reasons Why...other media where we’re going for the small town america aesthetic and “traditional values” and sprinkling in some social issues and people of color for kicks.
On to season 2 I guess lol.
Don’t put too much stock into my raw thoughts, I just think shows (especially in our current political climate and reality) should commit to what they really want.

AMA Transcript: Pell Grant Matrimony
This weekend, @marshofsleep, @sojustifiable (known as Amanda on Discord), @adorabbey and @tilliquoi braved yesterday's Discordacolypse in order to chat about their 2016 Resbang, Pell Grant Matrimony! Here's some of what went down:
Q: Please, give us a rundown of how this was conceived.
sleepmarshes:
Tumblr media
sleepmarshes: It's almost been an entire year. We've lived with this sin for 11 months. Right, so, like, there was that tumblr post going around about how a bro realized he could help another bro out since gay marriage became legal, and they could get a green card. So my thought was, of course, this is Soul and (somebody).
Amanda: I believe this was the tweet marsh referenced when she first described the initial idea to me before we were collabing on it:
Tumblr media
sleepmarshes: So, the setup would be Maka meets Soul and of course they hit it off because this is why we came here. But it turns out Soul is married.
Tumblr media
sleepmarshes: Then we decided B* would be the best choice. He would be ultra gung ho about PDA. THEN, Amanda started signing up for financial aid, and she was like hey, what if we do it like this instead of green card? And then BAM, COLLEGE AU. Then it became a game of how many tropes, cliches, and memes we could pile in.
Amanda: And then when I was signing up for financial aid I also saw this post and was like hey alternate motivation: http://zhuy-doodles.tumblr.com/post/144803762284. How we ended up collabing and doing it for real was that I was talking to marsh about how I wasn't sure if I was going to do resbang or not, and that if i was, I wanted to do something silly. And she was like, hey you should do that thing I told you about. And I was like I can't do that, it's your thing. And she was like oh we can collab and then we made a blood pact.
sleepmarshes: Now we are borg.
Adorabear: Amanda, marsh, and I did a minecraft FRAND ritual. Very legit.
Q: How did the collab work?
sleepmarshes: At the time, I was busy with house building stuff and other things, so I knew I wasn't going to be able to help a whole lot.
Amanda: I imagine it works differently for different people but ours was a Process. When we discussed collabing we pretty much decided I would do the bulk of the writing while marsh would act as helicopter mom with plotting and everything.
sleepmarshes: HELICOPTER MOM omg. It me.
Amanda: So we plotted together and marsh would be like hey I know this is a joke but we need actual character motivation and shiz and then I started cranking out words. And then marsh trailed behind me, editing and making parts funnier and more coherent and filling in the scenes I was really struggling with.
sleepmarshes: She trucked right on man, just huge chunks. Well, I also kept throwing stupid ideas at you.
Q: Who came up with my daughter snappy, and also, how do you feed an alligator on student budget?
sleepmarshes: We don't talk about the budget.
Amanda: So once upon a time, I sent marsh this meme:
Tumblr media
sleepmarshes: How DID that happen? This is clearly America.
Amanda: Just as a joke, I was like haha look at this meme and she was like fake gay fic??
sleepmarshes: I don't remember this but I believe it 100%.
Amanda: And I was like, not my intention, but okay, I can roll with it, they have an alligator now. Gained through some vague but nefarious means.
sleepmarshes: Snappy*Star. I think we decided [she was] smuggled from Disney World? I regret not making the epilogue about [Black*Star's] TV show.
Amanda: Yeah there were some interesting epilogue plans for when Snappy got too big to keep in an apartment. Black*Star was gonna have a TV show with Snappy I think on exotic pet care or maybe like, exercising with your pet. Just picture like, 3 years from the end of the fic, Soul and Maka are hanging out and turn on the TV to see the two of them.
Q for the artists: What inspired your arting decisions?
Adorabear: So I knew I'd do drinks, and wanted to do nail art (after getting a lot of encouragment from the resbang discord). I did some trial runs of the nail art shortly after the Resbang matchmaking.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Q: What inspired Queen Wes?
Amanda: Queen Wes appeared out of nowhere when I was writing the last 15k in three days and was in a delirious state of confusion.
Q: How did you two like collabing? Did it work well?
Amanda: I had a blast and think the collabing probably went better than either of us could've expected.
sleepmarshes: Oh yeah def. I've been terrfied to collab for years.
Amanda: Like, it ended up being even more collaborative with merging our writing styles so we just got this monster of laughs out of it. Tbh I was surprised that marsh even suggested collabing cuz I didn't think she did collabs.
sleepmarshes: I DON'T do collabs, but I get along with you so well I figured well, if anything'll work, it'll probably be this. Actually, Amanda did a lot of work on the timeline.
Amanda: More like I did a lot of work harrassing Marsh about the timeline because I need things to be linear.
sleepmarshes: Yeah I'm definitely not that.
Amanda: Let me pull up some parts of the outline for posterity. These are the kinds of notes Marsh makes in the outline:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
These are the kinds of notes I make which are about 5% more coherent:
Tumblr media
Q: Why Harvar with Wes? I think it was hilarious.
sleepmarshes: Uhhh well we knew we wanted Wes to hit on DTK. Why DID we hook him up with Harv? Just because Harv has put up with his shit for so long and won't leave him?
Amanda: We hooked him up with Harv because you love Harv and love shipping everyone with everyone else.
sleepmarshes: Ok this is probably true.
Amanda: Other random add in about shipping cuz I forgot we had another pm chatlog and found where we were discussing possible ships and I have this quote from marsh's shipping habits:
Tumblr media
sleepmarshes: Can confirm, this is my hobby.
Q: Was there a line or joke or meme that made either of you legit laugh out loud when you realized it fit/it ended up in there?
sleepmarshes: Probably every meme we came into contact with?
Adorabear: Amanda and Marsh are basically the people on the date shoving all the breadsticks in their purse, but the breadsticks are memes. And their purse is overflowing, and they're going into the Olive Garden kitchen to get more breadstick memes.
Amanda: I think there was a lot of coming up with ridiculous lines and then having the other be like "wtf is wrong with you that's hilarious."
sleepmarshes: Yes, exactly that. As for drummer DTK....
Amanda: That was another last minute thing. We knew he was a math metal head but then I was like lol what if he shows up as a guest in the music festival?
sleepmarshes: ROFL when you said that I thought well man, if you wanna write it go for it. And then when I caught up to it for edits even I was surprised. I was like FUCK YEA.
Q: Did you guys have a playlist?
sleepmarshes: I didn't have a fic-specific one, personally. I think I was mostly listening to the Macabre Records mix and maybe a Sufjan Stevens album.
Amanda: I also didn't have any specific writing music, being a musician also I find music pretty distracting so the only music I can write to is if it blends together well and is really cohesive and doesn't have any distracting vocals. Hey, I was listening to Sufjan too. Carrie and Lowell.
sleepmarshes: SAME HAT oh I had uhhh. A Sun Came.
Amanda: And maybe some Seven Swans and some old Bon Iver and Iron and Wine sometimes. But basically I need a specific ambient music to write to as opposed to anything relevant.
sleepmarshes: There was a lot of dialogue in this fic, so I needed some chill stuff towards the end.
Q: Did you guys find any characters really challenging to write?
Amanda: I can't write DTK at all so I needed a lot of Marsh intervention in that camp.
sleepmarshes: DTK is uhhh very polite 'I care nothing about what you just said, let me do what i came here to do.' How happy do you expect goth burberry to be? Despite all that, he's got squishy innards [and] four smile muscles. I had Wes issues so his flamboyancy got a lot of help from Amanda.
Amanda: I turned Wes into a monster. Marsh did most of the bbq scene cuz I was quite stuck in the middle of it and wanted to keep steamrollering ahead.
sleepmarshes: We always knew Wes would be obnoxious but I was watching a lot of beauty gurus on YouTube at the time and like... stuff... happened.
Q: Does Tsubaki continue to be a badass pilates instructor after the story ends? Does B* continue to go to her classes? Q: DO THEY BECOME PARTNERS EVENTUALLY?
sleepmarshes: Maybe they can have a workout show together with Snappy the mascot.
Amanda: B* continues to be a big fan of her workout stuff and they're swolebuds.
Q: How goes Patti's Etsy?
sleepmarshes: She's always in business the more Snappy grows.
Amanda: I think we had another potential future ending in which Patti adopts Snappy and cares for her at a wildlife refuge when she gets too big. There were quite a few potential futures for the different people, especially as we were still playing shipping roulette.
Q: Is it really that easy to get divorced in America?
Amanda: Yes, at least as far as I'm aware. If it's not, then we're going with suspension of disbelief.
sleepmarshes: I mean, as long as both sides want it and no one raises a fuss, yeah no one cares.
Q: Why continue to call Kid 'Morty' instead of Kid?
sleepmarshes: Oh, man, idk, college AU with a guy named Death? I couldn't do it.
Amanda: Like, Kid isn't a name and if it's his stage name people wouldn't probably call him that all the time.
sleepmarshes: Bonus: Shinidaddy calling him Junior.
Amanda: Even with B* it's definitely a nickname, we just decided to go off the walls with his actual name. Like, what if instead of being Blake we call him something ridiculous?
Q: Does Blair ever give up the panty thieving?
sleepmarshes: Actually I had wanted that last sock Blair stole to actually belong to DTK, and he was going to find out at the festival, but I totally forgot. Disgruntled DTK with only one sock... chance missed.
Amanda: Just one of those things that slipped through the cracks in the last three days of screaming.
Q: How did Stein and Spirit move the car?
sleepmarshes: I don't know, I always figured Spirit just annoyed the heckie out of everyone in between parking spaces.
Amanda: I wanted to leave it ambiguous just to leave it like... how the fuck did they do that? Cuz they had to get the people to switch spots with them anyway, but then also had to get everyone to move to let them through too.
[a tilliquoi appears, there is much joy]
Same Q: What inspired your arting decisions?
tilliquoi: Hmmm well for Soul and Maka at the mailboxes, I liked it bc shark slippers and bc that was when they first met. And I drew Snappy and Wes just bc they're both fabulous and I couldnt resist.
Amanda: Both the showstealers of the fic.
Q: How did you make those pieces? What programs/materials did you use?
tilliquoi: They're all digital and done in photoshop. It's the only program i really use anymore.
Q: What made you go: Yes. That. This is the fic I want in the first place?
sleepmarshes: YEAH, I WANNA KNOW, TOO.
Adorabear: For me, I was looking for things that I knew I could make drinks for and uh, yeah, it looked fun af, and I like silly af shit.
tilliquoi: Well, last year I was an artist for another Marsh fic, coincidentally, and that one was a lot more serious. It was amazing but this year I wanted to go for something fun and ridiculous as a change of pace. When I read the summary for Pell Grant I was just thinking that I'd probably end up laughing the whole time, so I was like "that one. thats the fic I gotta art for."
sleepmarshes: When your claim came in I laughed SO HARD.
tilliquoi: Yeah it was pretty funny finding out you were one of the authors.
sleepmarshes: She had no idea I was involved.
Amanda: Marsh messaged me like "lol guess who claimed us" but wouldn't tell me until it was official.
Adorabear: Amanda and I were talking about my list, and she was in my Google doc watching me make my pics, watching me eliminate stuff.
Amanda: I was screaming inside because I couldn't let her know it was me.
sleepmarshes: We were both dying.
Adorabear: The joys of anon claiming, I guess.
Q: What are you guys' next projects?
Amanda: Uhhhh I should probably finish Strangers... but I've been focusing more on writing music lately and taking a break from fic, and then I have a couple back burner fics that I won't go into cuz I haven't decided if they'll be for a Resbang or not. Potential original fantasy story also, but I think working on more music is really gonna be the focus while I'm finishing school.
sleepmarshes: Strangers hype. I'm working on Quantum Entanglement, and intend on finishing Lodestar. Probably no Resbang ficcing for me this year, because I want to finish some fics and work on an original novel.
Adorabear: I'm not going to Reverb this year, but I think I'll Resbang art next year.
Q: Did you all ever have to reign each other in? Like were there moments you had to go whoa whoa whoa too much, too far, time to say when?
sleepmarshes: Uhm I think we were just a cycle of enabling, tbh.
Amanda: Confirmed: no reigning in nonsense, only enabling more and more batshit insanity.
Q: Anything not make the cut?
sleepmarshes: I think stuff that didn't make the cut were things we ran out of time for, since a large part of it was written in the last three days. Like I wanted Wes to have an obsession with cinnabon. I think there was more bean warfare.
Q: How did everyone, writers and artists, feel like they grew/changed/learned during the resbang season?
sleepmarshes: I think overall I learned there are more ways of collaborating in writing than I had thought. Like, I thought there was only some way with magical hand holding sentence by sentence and somehow no one committed murder. But like, we just delegated roles, she did the bulk of it, I did invasive betaing, and we talked in discord a lot about junk.
Amanda: I think my growth was just it being the first time I ever wrote that much in a short period of time. Like the last three days were crazy, but I didn't have any problems micromanaging cuz I was fine with just being like "yolo just make this better", for a murder free experience.
sleepmarshes: I was so worried at first about hurting your writing feelings. But then you were like JUST EDIT IT DON'T SUGGEST 200 THINGS.
Amanda: I don't have any writing feelings. JUST FIX IT MARSH MAKE IT BETTER. I'M WRITING AS FAST AS POSSIBLE WITHOUT THINKING ABOUT ANYTHING I KNOW QUALITY IS SPOTTY.
sleepmarshes: After that it was just prancing through a field of yolo.
Amanda: I think both our collaboration and our friendship was helped severely by the fact that I don't have control issues or take anything personally, so invasive betaing was no sweat.
tilliquoi: I think if I learned anything or grew from this, it was in experimenting with coloring styles, particularly with that Wes drawing. That was pretty far out of my comfort zone in terms of how I usually color, but it made me a LOT less afraid to use excessive colors in places I wouldnt normally.
sleepmarshes: I had Wes open on all three monitors while I was editing. This is what it's like to have Wes on every channel:
Tumblr media
Adorabear: I think for me, it was just a lot of confidence building in terms of my artwork, because I have been really nervous [about whether] my authors are going to like what I do, or [whether] they'll think I've done enough. I'm just a worrier.
sleepmarshes: Did you get ultra fast at cross stitch? Because that's certainly what it looked like.
Adorabear: I think I just motored through that one. I guess I have gotten faster. But I was like, in beast mode for that one. I am very pleased with it, though.
sleepmarshes: I love it.
Adorabear: Anyway, I think I feel more confident that the things I make are ~enough.~
sleepmarshes: THREE CHEERS FOR THE FAKE GAY FIC TEAM.

god I was playing overwatch with a couple of platinum/diamond players and we were doing really well (I went up a hundred points or so it was great) but I’m still gold rank and one other guy in the group was also gold rank so we had two gold, two plat, two diamond. for a while we were basically steamrolling people and when we played defense on king’s row the other gold guy went symmetra
that leaves me solo healing as zen, which is fine–it’s a lot of pressure but a couple people had self-heals and one of the tanks was zarya so she had the regenerating shield–but leaves everyone else shit out of luck if I die. so I asked symmetra during setup if she’d put up a teleporter, and the guy playing her said sure.
except for some reason he put out a shield generator instead (which immediately got destroyed) and when I died I had to walk (or float, I guess) the whole fucking way back while I could see everyone critical on the point. we ended up winning anyway though. then we’re on temple of anubis next map and someone else goes symmetra so I asked if they could be sure to put up a teleporter this time because I’m their only healer and it’s a long fucking walk back and I can’t save anyone if I’m barely out of the spawn room.
then immediately the gold-ranked guy who played symmetra the last round starts yelling at me about how I need to stop complaining because we won and we didn’t even need the teleporter and I said like yeah we did win but there were a few times you were all critical on the point and I could’ve come in and used transcendence if there was a teleporter up but I had to walk the whole way back and by then it was too late. so he’s screaming at me like “it doesn’t matter, we won, stop fucking complaining” and talking over everything I said (and meanwhile the current symmetra was just like “yeah I’ll put a teleporter up no problem”)
so I tell him I’m not trying to rag on him, and that we did win without a teleporter, but in the future it would be strategically smarter to put up a teleporter. then suddenly he’s like “oh I get it, you’re just bitching at me!” and then said, verbatim, “anyone who has a vagina just likes to complain.” and I straight up tell him like, you fucking dumbass, I’m your only healer and you’re gonna say that shit to me? you’re playing reinhardt and can’t heal yourself and you’re going to insult your healer? and I’m used to being the only girl on any given team but I was just pissed that this guy, the only person in the group ranked lower than me, had the gall to start this kind of bullshit. I made him my least priority with healing, although I didn’t let him just straight-up die like I should have, and from then on he would interrupt literally anything I said to start yelling at me. I’d call out to a teammate like “zarya come back you’re overextended let me heal you!!!” and he’d be like oh more complaining I see. then at one point between rounds someone mentioned beetlejuice and I was like “omg don’t even start me on beetlejuice–” and he fucking rudely interrupts me to say “look out guys, here comes another complaint” and I said “actually if you’d let me fucking finish you’d know that I was about to say that I fucking love beetlejuice and it’s one of my favorite movies but keep it up shit-for-brains” and then he was like “oh yeah well I have a wife so I can say this kind of stuff,” which is baffling in itself. anyway as far as things go it’s not that big of a deal I just can’t believe this moron had the nerve to insult the only healer. and also he was a very bad symmetra, I would just like to point out.
