two last suppers, which isn't a lot, but it's glorious that it happened twice

queerification of last supper btw

oh, there's spiders on this! 🕷🍝

Am I the only one feeling empty now that GME is over?? All that anticipation and speculation of what might happen the planning the getting up early to watch it, all of it....just over, gone, now all we have is just regular GMM 😔

An Origin Story.

I'm maybe about halfway through Tim Hitchcock's English Sexualities, 1700-1800 which is not a terribly long book, and I've already bookmarked about 36 citations I intend to follow up on after I finish reading. So begins the journey. The pandemic has done strange things to all of us. Besides a heinous case of long COVID that left me on the couch for a year, family crises, and now an uncertain future in terms of where I'll be living next... it also brought me one hell of a Youtube habit. I'd already been a Buzzfeed Unsolved fan, but when that ran out I branched out into true crime more generally (don't worry I'm also watching Watcher, and yes Ghost Files rules). From there I branched out into aviation and engineering disasters, then into more general weird creepy real-life shit and internet lore. Internet lore somehow led me to mythical and religious lore, and from there I ended up finding Dr. Justin Sledge and Esoterica (if you like learning about the history of mysticism and the occult, you need to subscribe to his channel RIGHT NOW it's so dope). Dr. Sledge collaborated with Atun-Shei on a film adaptation of King James' Daemonologie and when I watched it, I realized I needed to binge everything on this dude's channel. Something about Andy's work is just so deeply, unapologetically, inspiringly weird. Not sure how this works, but I think it broke the seal on some kind of cursed artifact in my brain. And THEN I found his collabs with Brandon F.—which, in addition to the joys of ho-yay have also rekindled my childhood love for the material culture of the 18th century.

I was a strange child growing up (FFS I'm on Tumblr, of course I was a strange child growing up...). Being neurodivergent, queer, and not-especially-binary in a conservative household meant I learned early on to shut up about who I was and what I liked as a matter of survival. Something about the excessive, sensual aesthetic of 18th century Europe calls to a lot of people, clearly, but oh boy did it call to me back then when I was suffocating under the weight of my parents' hopelessly unrealistic, hopelessly boring expectations.

I've heard people talk about the fear/awe-to-kink and comfort-to-kink pipelines, and I think it was a bit of both for me. I got really engrossed in reading about the AWI during elementary school and the images of the Founding Fathers and the Redcoats somehow got lodged in my brain a little sideways. Inevitably, you get a little older and more capable of comprehending how much war sucks and how many sins these countries have to answer for, and FFS why are we being loaded up with a bunch of bullshit propaganda instead of the far more sobering and relevant actual history, etc. But I'm still just fascinated by the 18th century and especially by what we don't talk about when it comes to that time period. What sorts of fascinating and queer possibilities did later generations try to retcon out of their own culture? What sorts of narratives have we missed out on?

What I'm trying to say is that watching Brandon F. and friends do a takedown of Jimchi's Redcoat ASMR video brought up a whole bunch of feels and it sent me on a quest to understand myself better. That's really it.

WATCHER AND MYTHICAL KITCHEN JDFJKFBJBF A COLLAB MADE IN HEAVEN

I will riot for Watcher to be on GMM. Steven was on that Food Fears segment with Mythical Chef Josh so maybe it’s gonna happen?!?!

YES EXACTLY~ man no one else has come to talk to me about Steven on Food Fears with Josh up until now and that almost offends me lol except that I have the opportunity to talk about it now.

Ever since this happened (which in hindsight at the time it came out last September was completely surprising to me because Buzzfeeders are not historically allowed to collaborate so it hit me pretty hard that Steven had probably left Buzzfeed even though the episode is titled Buzzfeed’s Steven Lim god the secrecy!!) I have been wanting nothing more than a proper collab between GMM and Shane and Ryan and now that Watcher is a thing, I still have my heart set on Mythical Summer featuring Watcher as hosts. 

I also think that Mythical Chef Josh’s sense of humour would really vibe with Ryan in a big way and they’re both gym rats with feral sweetheart demon energy and I wanna see how they’d clash and become fast friends. Anyway, I recall someone sending me and ask months ago telling me that not long ago, Ryan followed the Mythical accounts so!~ 

We live in hope, nonnybabe, but if they don’t appear in some capacity on a Mythical channel I will riot.

Now if that ain’t the god’s honest truth
