So I saw you asked for more rickrolls but I have a rickroll story I reckon was kinda fun.

So I was asked to play clarinet for an awards ceremony in when I was in middle school. Backing music while some kids got awards, no biggie, easy enough, I'd been playing for years already. So it's the night before the ceremony, and I completely forgot about it. And I didn't have any solo pieces. So I went through all the sheet music websites, memorised all the youtube tutorials, everything - cause I needed a good 10 minutes worth of music. I ended up printing off like Colours of the Wind from Pocahontas and some other stuff.

Anyway, come to the day, and I go on stage to play. And the chaos demon in me was like "nah, forget normal songs, play Never Gonna Give You Up" (because I had the sheet music for that next to my printed out normaller stuff).

So I listened to the chaotic thoughts, but I didn't want to get in trouble, so I just slowed it down, played a bit with it (I'd been playing jazz for years, so I was used to mucking around with melodies), and yeah, I just rickrolled all 500 kids (and parents and teachers) there.

So that was fun.

(I just remembered I had this video of it actually: https://youtu.be/nsCIeklgp1M?t=5 )

THAT IS EXACTLY THE KIND OF STORY I NEEDED TO HEAR RN OMG THANK YOU!!

and also that is ICONIC?! you are an icon, thank you for sharing!!!

also the VIDEO OMG!! having a visual just makes it even more iconic, thank you :)

because i've seen 3 other polls like this and they were all missing the best options

#polls #as the curator of good taste in childrens books these are the objectively correct answers #goosebumps is also acceptable but i was always too afraid as a kid to actually read those #(which is v funny to me now as someone who makes middle grade horror for a living lmao)

Which is your favorite platform? (of the ones you have accounts to post things I mean. I can't imagine it being Instagram since you don't really post there which honestly fair)

Tumblr, Twitter (X?) bluesky? Something else?

I think I'm going to have to go with tumblr, and it's not just because we're here. Twitter and Bluesky are nice and my experiences on both are overwhelmingly positive. But tumblr has an atmosphere that encourages originality, sharing your creations and talking about things in depth.

#I dislike the mindset of making “content” and when I'm posting here I don't feel like I have to tailor my posts to be #as easily consumable by as many people as possible #microblogging platforms are fast paced and you're constantly fighting the algorithm #making long text posts is inconvenient and usually not worth the trouble #so I rarely talk about my characters or their lore outside of tumblr #what's nice is that when you ramble about your personal projects and fictional fixations here people tend to be pretty receptive to it #like they Get These Feelings and are able to analyze and read between the lines really well at least if you ask me #on top of that customizing your browsing experience and curating an organized blog is easier #and above everything I love and cherish tumblr's tag culture #very often the best commentary I get comes from tags #answered #anonymous #instagram continues to give me bad vibes and going there has always felt like a chore

Sometimes it’s a blessing…

but it’s usually not…

I’ve made a sort of Stanley Parable branch story (again) which I created while doodling this. I don’t think I have the attention span to make another comic, but I like it enough to impulsively show it to you. As of now, it has no name. I have ideas, but alas.

Name Ideas:

Revenge of The Computer Virus

Curse of The Lawsuit

Story of Paperwork

Now with Printer Jam

Beyond Sequel

(Yes, these are the Sequel Title prompts. I thought it would be funny…)

The idea is that Stanley befriends one of the computers, which talks to him instead of The Narrator (The Narrator is not pleased by this). There’s all this mess with him and The Curator on what it even is and what they should do about it, before it starts saying really weird stuff.

Eventually, it tells Stanley to do something weird with the game files, which he doesn’t understand, but after an argument with The Narrator, something changes and it is released from the computer. Yes, it is The Timekeeper.

It finds Stanley, offers him a new story, and puts The Narrator where they were in the computer land or whatever. Stanley just wants to leave mostly, and doesn’t understand why he has to stay, really. They give him infinite stories, but slowly start to take away the choice, before he goes to look for The Narrator or The Curator or Mariella or someone, only to find that they’re all gone.

He sees The Narrator in one of the computer monitors and gets him out somehow. Finds The Curator and Mariella and The Timekeeper realises what is being done and puts them all there just for funsies, continuing the story on their own.

Blah blah blah, eventually we figure out that The Timekeeper is a previous version of Stanley who went a little power hungry and took over the game, but The Narrator still forgot about it entirely, somehow. They get really close to winning, they see what happens when “the wheel stops turning,” they win probably, clever fourth wall break with the reader, End Story.

I honestly just really like the character designs. I definitely can’t use this as its own film without all the rights, so for now? It’s just dust. Do with it what you will.

ALSO!! Forgot to mention: this is also in the same universe!! My bad, pals 🪄

Now you've got me curious gnome. What WAS the relationship between the archivists when they were younger like?

(Also I LOVE your work and look up to you ALOT. Have a nice day/night!)

Their relationships have changed since childhood, running through extremes and attitudes but ultimately focusing on a common goal and set of routines. Adding to it, there isn't exactly anyone else older who could be there for them in the long run, so for better or worse all issues are build on or/and resolved between them. In the end.. it's not like they have anywhere else to go, and they don't exactly want to be alone in the void. They stick together, even if some are gone for periods of time

(But I'm glad you enjoy the things I draw! It always makes me happy to see you pop up in my notes and see your interpretation of the celestial critters:P have a cool daynight too!)

About the colors of the cloaks when they were kids, in some previous comics they shared the same teal cyan hue as an indication of being part of the group. Buuut, they already have affiliation indicated by the shadow face ornament.. and keeping the same colours made it difficult to distinguish them. Soo, this is one instance where I need to backtrack a design choice. Not counting in the more casual clothes besides robes that apear in comics too

going insane just read the stupid callout post on you after the anon mentioned something about it.

do people not go outside anymore???? ppl are mad at you for shipping chasriel and charisk?? and for not caring about discourse like every other sane person?

I used to ship chasriel because it near directly reflected my at the time relationship with my irl best friend, charisk is just straight up cute!! why does it matter?!

also the fucking against aging characters up is so dumb, like would they rather people just draw the characters sexy as kids?

sorry you have to go through people doing that, callout posts are bullshit and no one has reading comprehension.

I LITERALLY DON'T EVEN SHIP CHARASRIEL!!!!!! I SEE THEM AS SIBLINGS!!! AND EVEN WHEN I QUESTIONED IF CHARA WOULD BE COMFORTABLE WITH THAT WORD, I STILL FELT LIKE THEY WERE ESSENTIALLY FAMILY!!! WHICH YOU'D KNOW IF YOU READ ANY OF MY POSTS OTHER THAN A SINGLE BADLY PUNCTUATED JOKE ABOUT SPEEDRUNNING TAKEN WILDLY OUT OF CONTEXT!!!!!

#BUT NO! I HAVE TO BE SECRETLY SHIPPING THEM. DON'T YOU KNOW THIS PERSON I DON'T EVEN TALK TO ANYMORE DID??#IT'S IMPOSSIBLE THAT THE GUY WITH THE CURATED BLACKLIST MIGHT.... wait for it.... DISAGREE ON THAT POINT #RIGHT??????#answered asks

Sometimes I think Dan and Phil are totally platonic besties and then other times I’m convinced they fuck on the daily. I think they do it on purpose and it’s honestly iconic.

kind of the best thing is that they are that and everything in between. you can tell they just like being around each other. they've made content together for 15 years and the large majority of it was done in the strictly platonic sense for their audience. and they were still having so much fun with it. we're in the 'we know you know' era now so we get to see flashes of different dynamics they have, but they absolutely have more we Don't get to see bc they're not for us.

they like each other. stupidly fond of each other. spending time together doesn't feel exhausting. they're best friends and each others' harshest critics while being the biggest hypeman and also safe space.

dnp's relationship with us, their audience, always has been and always will be different than any other content creators. part of it is how they accumulated it, but another part is just the massive history we have with them. they Get us. they Know us. they're silly goofy sarcastic guys who love us and hate us sometimes. theyre grateful but careful too. they like to rile us up, just like they do each other. it's a love language, teasing, and we've shown positive responses to it over the years. i like to say that my relationship with dnp is antagonistic sometimes--cause i know they're pushing my buttons on purpose. and ykw? it's fun! it's fun for us and it's fun for them because they have the control. i know anything they let out is cause they chose to let it out because they Know how we are. so yes they absolutely adore messing with us. we're a funny bunch.
