People who are smug about their skill in ovw are the same ones who are low gm and smurf in plat and diamond because they can’t feed their own ego when getting dunked on by players of their own skill level

#they’re only smug because they intentionally associate with people worse with them #people who are good at the game but aren’t smug play with their friends in qp. using a smurf to play comp with friends who are lower rank #is just boosting. it does more for their ego than for their friendship #c talks #longass edit on accident: #*the ones who play exclusively comp without smurfing/boosting friends also aren’t smug #unless they’re making fun of the people lower than them even in gm #seeing someone get made fun of for being ‘hardstuck’ 4100 is one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen #like that’s still extremely rude it means they’re good at the game and most likely still have a life at the same time #but it’s just. an extremely funny insult #you do have to keep in mind that gm was not an equal playing field #it’s the highest rank sure #but with SR you have to remember that each rank was separated by 500 sr #and in some games you could have a majority of players who are essentially a rank ‘above’ gm (4400-4500) while still being gm #that’s where the t500 distinction kinda showed #bring back SR I hate the league style system. I guess it’s obviously not just league but it was superior 😭

men are so annoying get a real job

#ellie is getting so much abuse she had to limit her comments on ig literally stfu #n i’m sure the others are getting comments and shit too #i’m sorry no one told these men when they were playing that being abused by fans is a bad thing but it is #i think the funniest thing is media and people messaging or commenting on athletes posts about how bad they played like these people don’t #realise that themselves. this is their career they know when they fucked up and on top of how they’re feeling.. being abused by randoms #that think they ever had a chance to play professionally

Can’t stop thinking about the fact I saw a post on my own dash with my own eyes unironically use the term “gendies” in a “derogatory” manner

#I put derogatory in quotes because gendy/gendies has to be the funniest fucking attempt to be offensive I’ve ever seen #on one hand I hate having to see terf’s blazed posts #on the other hand it’s really funny that we live rent free in their brains #to the point they’re spending real life actual money to bitch about us #buddy. pal. amigo. you could’ve bought a candy bar. an icee. dollar menu chicken nuggets. #but instead you PAID to bitch about trans people????? #one of us is losing here and it’s not the fucken ‘gendies’ I tell you what

X33n and Kara put it pretty well the other day, in that Jordan is a person who will ask you to elaborate and explain a joke and just completely derail the humor of it. It has the funniest comedic implications he's just a Himbo Comedic genius and doesn't even realize it half the time. Because then it just turns into hypotheticals like the nearly hour long debate speech he had about flat earth yesterday because someone made a joke about a song sung by a well known flat earther and chat elaborated on the joke

YEAH YEAH. typically when people go too into depth when explaining a joke it gets watered down and the humor is completely lost. which still happens to some extent when jordan does it. but he goes about it in such an obscure and genuine way that it becomes 1000x funnier to listen to him slowly devolve into madness trying to figure out how it would realistically work. it’s something i’ve NEVER seen anyone else be able to pull off and i don’t think i ever will

#muse talk #anon #because typically when people go into depth explaining jokes #it’s out of spite. they’re doing it to be a dick and it’s just annoying #jordan is so fucking Genuine. when he goes on rambles he fucking means it. there is no malicious intent #he is DEAD SET on figuring out the best place to fuck so the it follows creature doesn’t kill him. #no one asked for this. we are complaining. but it is light hearted because it’s also the funniest goddamn thing we’ve ever witnessed

“I shut the door slowly and exhaled: it was over.”

He was dead. It took forever and like sixteen tries, but it seemed for real this time.

The client looked up at me from where she knelt on the floor, a rosary clasped between her fingers.

“Is it finished?” She asked, tears and mascara running from her enormous blue eyes, down her plump cheeks,

“It is,” I said with all the confidence I did not have.

“Oh, thank God,” she breathed out. “Just a moment, I’ve got the rest of the payment ready. I’ll be right back.”

The goal was simple. Tell the sad and lonely people that you are a vampire hunter. Charge an exorbitant fee and ask for half of the payment up front. Do something loud and outlandish behind a closed door, and then tell them that it was over. The evil had been vanquished, or whatever. Then, skip town before they realize that they’re still out of their minds enough to believe in such a thing as vampires.

This was the plan.

But, unfortunately, it would happen that vampires were real, and I did not know the first thing about killing them. And rather than a large group of vampires, there seemed to be one vampire wreaking havoc in every town in a hundred mile radius.

She brought out the suitcase full of bills. I took it, my hands still dripping with his blood.

We said our goodbyes, and I walked out into the night, heading toward the woods (which seemed like something a vampire hunter would do, I think).

I’d barely made it ten paces out of the threshold before his husk appeared next to me.

“Ouch! Almost had me that time. That’s gonna hurt for a while.” He laughed, reattaching his head. “Hey, where’s my cut?”

#free write #for some reason the people laughed out loud at this one I was like. baby this is not that fun but ok ! #it’s cool they’re mostly old white people they probably don’t even know about yaoi #<<< hmmm funniest thing I’ve ever said #anyway this is SOOOO PB and Jam-core but I’m not gonna get into that

Hazbin Hotel is actually healing my inner ex-Christian so hard.

No joke, I nearly started cheering when Lute called Charlie and Vaggie’s love “vile and blasphemous” (and then burst out laughing when Adam immediately followed it up with “Hot as fuck though”). I know that may sound weird considering that I am, in fact, a lesbian, but here me out:

Seeing Christians being explicitly homophobic onscreen? It validates me. It makes me think “Oh yeah, I’m not crazy, Christians are that hateful!” And, call me crazy, but I think homophobia being tied in with villainy is a good thing. Neither Adam or Lute are supposed to be good people; they are very obviously the villain, and that establishes their behavior as bad. Someone on Twitter said that Lute gave them religious fanatic vibes and I couldn’t agree more.

And here’s the thing, too: it’s explicit homophobia, not some dumb metaphor. There’s no way to take it as anything else. And I really need that. I need to see Christians being explicitly homophobic onscreen in the same way that other people need and create worlds where homophobia doesn’t exist.

But me? I want my pain and suffering acknowledged. I want the harm that Christianity does acknowledged. Homophobia is real and the religious kind doubly so. I related to Vaggie so much in that episode; I felt her trepidation about going back to Heaven. Felt like a good metaphor for escaping a fundamentalist church only to be forced to visit again.

And Viv is not afraid to explicitly point this out and criticize them. Like, yes! Say it! They are hypocrites! They don’t care about people being better, they only care about punishment! They maimed one of their own and left her to die because she spared a child! They’re homophobic freaks! They would never see the good that Angel does and how he’s improved and is wonderful, they only see that he’s a drug addict and a sex worker and think he’s worthless for that even though Jesus broke bread with sex workers and people considered the dregs of society. (And of course Angel is gay on top of that.)

And another thing: not only did the Adam line make me laugh, but the second homophobic Lute line about “he blew his shot like the cocks in his mouth” cracked me up too. It reminded me of the pilot where Katie Killjoy said “I don’t touch the gays” to Charlie, which is a line that made me laugh for 4+ years straight. When I told my brother that was the funniest homophobia I’d ever heard in media, he very wisely said, “All homophobia is funny if you think about it.” And you know what? He’s right. It is funny, because it’s so fundamentally goddamn stupid, so let’s give characters ridiculous lines so everyone can laugh at how idiotic they and their beliefs sound.

#i actually have no issue if sinners go to hell for being gay #it’s not like viv is saying that’s a good thing #if anything she’s showing how utterly deranged that is and the very serious consequences #hazbin hotel #tw homophobia #hazbin hotel spoilers #lute #adam #charlie morningstar #vaggie #hazbin lute #hazbin adam #hazbin charlie #hazbin vaggie #angel dust #hazbin angel dust #hazbin hotel lute #hazbin hotel adam #hazbin hotel charlie #hazbin hotel vaggie #hazbin hotel angel dust #hellaverse #vivziepop #thanks for seeing and rescuing my inner queer ex-Catholic kid #also i wanna get ‘vile and blasphemous’ tattooed #i may even work it into my wedding vows #like youre damn right im vile and blasphemous bitch now go fuck yourself<3 #katie killjoy

The required defiled chalice taking half of your hp but also greatly reducing damage is fine tbh and I wouldn’t mind it except for the fact that 1) elemental damage is not reduced 2) 2/3 of the fucking bosses they put in there are fire themed bosses. I don’t think bloodborne is the hardest fromsoft game but I definitely think it is the meanest game.

#keeper of the old lords was fine. they’re easy to parry and stun lock. #watchdog of the old lords is a miserable experience that almost makes me miss Lawrence. at least he didn’t one shot me. #it is a massive fiery dog shaped middle finger to the people who want to platinum the game. bad dog. #however this level of the dungeon is home to the funniest player message I’ve ever seen #you stop to read it. the ghost lady aggros onto and disappears. it says ‘behind you’. ghost lady teleports behind you and stabs you.

Sometimes, you’re a comedian with a touring show to promote, so you do an interview with a regional newspaper.

I think that’d be the funniest possible time to reveal a big scoop, wouldn’t it?

Stewart Lee is currently touring, and to promote his Yeovil performance, gave an interview to Blackmore Vale Magazine.  According to Wikipedia, the Blackmore Vale is an area of north Dorset, south Somerset and southwest Wiltshire.  According to the comedian Jake Baker, the magazine would cover his school sports day as he grew up in Dorset.  That’s the level of news you’d expect.

The questions are friendly and easy, from a journalist clearly familiar with Lee’s work and history.

The first question is about the show’s angle.  Lee describes the nature of the show, and here’s an excerpt:

So it looks like stand-up, and sounds like stand-up, but it’s actually a kind of character piece about a desperate person who’s frightened and trying to organise the world in a way that puts them in control. And I guess you could argue that’s what a lot of stand-ups are doing anyway. Ricky Gervais to me looks like a very frightened man. He’s frightened of transgender people coming after him, the act is a defensive wall.

Fun!  This is a Ricky Gervais hate blog, so it’s nice to see a sudden, unexpected attack in an unrelated promotional interview.

Lee mentions Gervais again in response to question four.

Sometimes I become bitter and think ‘I get all this good press, why can’t I get 10 million quid for a TV special like Ricky Gervais?’ But on the other hand, I wouldn’t want that audience, it wouldn’t allow me to be better.

And then again to question eight, where Lee explains why he spends six months running new shows in the relatively small Leicester Square Theatre (as opposed to arena comics who might do 10 warmup shows followed by 60 tour dates).

You can still run it like a club gig, you can interact with people in real time. Also, you wouldn’t get better at the show because you wouldn’t have done it as many times. You can see this with an act like Gervais. Those shows have not been run in, they’re not fluid, they’re a succession of inflexible statements that would snap like twigs if the pressure of an unforeseen event was applied to them.

The journalist finally addresses this head on.  It really is worth reading the entire article - there’s a lot more than I’m quoting, including an interesting story about Sean Lock:

But here are my favourite bits:

[Gervais] still kind of copies me though, which is the weird thing. There’s still a lot of cadences of what I do but they’re used in the service of evil. In Star Wars, he’s Darth Vader and he’s taken the force, which is me, and used it for evil purposes. He was a fanboy, he was actually the booker at University of London and used to book me and Sean Lock all the time. And when he became famous for the Office, he wrote an hour-long act that was so indebted to us it was awkward. [...] If he’d come up through the circuit that would have been rubbed off him because you find your own voice doing club gigs. It took me two years of gigging five nights a week to come through the mesh of things I liked. But he didn’t have that experience in the same way. [...] Funnily enough, in his first show there were bits I’d never recorded that he’d do almost verbatim. He’d clearly remembered them. I went to see him at the Bloomsbury – on his invitation actually – with my then girlfriend and she was very concerned for me. I’d given up at that point due to lack of interest, and she was concerned for what it felt like to see my act being done to hundreds of people, it was quite weird. On the other hand, that sort of did make me think I don’t want it to be consumed into someone else’s vocabulary. And also, I think because he had a residual sense of guilt, he would always credit me in interviews as being an influence – that helped me in 2004 to get the audience back.

This is, to my knowledge, the first time Lee’s ever claimed that Gervais stole his material.  He’s certainly talked about Gervais clearly taking influence from him (though in the past, he downplayed this compared to the account given in this interview).

It’s a pretty big thing to accuse a comic of stealing material.  That’s a big taboo.  I reckon this is partly because Lee wants to discourage fans of Gervais from coming to the show.

Anyway, let’s finish by quoting the end of the interview:

It must be strange to have that level of financial remuneration and those audience figures but not really a single good review. And I expect what that does for you is create a cognitive dissonance where you have to manufacture a worldview by which the whole world is wrong and you’re right. Which can’t necessarily be very good for your mental health, although I expect the money’s nice.
