#WE GOT RENEWED CLOWNS

[pehmokoira]

I only started watching OFMD a few weeks before season 2 came out. I'd vaguely known about it since it was first released, but I'd been holding out on getting a Max subscription. It's funny, but I didn't actually become obsessed with the show until I'd watched the whole first season. Then something clicked in my brain. I was a goner.

I'm so glad I was there to experience season 2 as it was released. (What a month October was, huh?) But now, knowing there is no season 3 to come, it just feels like I missed out on so much. I've been lurking in the fandom for a few months and now… the show's over? I was clowning along with the rest of you and the cast and the crew, thinking it was going to be renewed, and I thought there would be the long wait until the release of season 3, and then the teasers, and the release, and then months and months of season 3 content coming out both from the cast and the fandom even after the show was over. But here we are.

And I see people saying "you should watch these other queer shows instead", but as an autistic person, with the way my brain works, this is it for me. There is no other show that could come even close. Trying another show sounds as absurd as trying to form a relationship with a random stranger you met in a bar when you've just come out of a relationship of 20 years.

Because I don't want other queer characters. I want Stede, with his whimsy and his bitchiness and his struggles with becoming who he is while learning what love is. I want Ed, with his childhood trauma and his battles with his demons and his discovery and acceptance of his soft side. I want the crew of the Revenge, with their diverse looks and ages and identities and disabilities and their love for each other. They are the family I found in the sea of queer representation.

I am so grateful that the show happened at all, that we got a second season, that the writers were kind and far-seeing enough to leave our pirates in a good place just in case this exact thing happened. But goddamn am I grieving for what we could've had with only one more season.

One. More. Season.

As long as any hope remains that there is the slightest chance for the show to be revived, for WB/Max to reconsider their decision or for another streaming service to pick it up, I am clinging to my clown wig and doing everything I can.

To quote the only other piece of media that's ever mattered as much as OFMD to me:

And you know what? That hope was enough for those characters. It could be for us, too.

01/24/24 OFMD Daily Recap

TLDR; Cast and Crew Sightings with clowning; UK News; Wee John Wednesday; RenewAsACrewUpdates; NewTwitter Resource: @AdoptOurCrew; Pirate Omens Watch Party; LubeAsACrew; The Queerties; Petition Status; Final Notes; Love Notes; Rhys & Rosie's Anniversary;

==Cast and Crew Sightings==

David Jenkins got the clowning going really early this morning with a picture of a red sunrise, playing the song "New York Groove" by Ace Frehley.

There's been a lot of speculation (obviously we don't know what it means for sure) but the current fan theories going around are:

1. "Red Skies In Morning, Sailor's Take Warning" which Djenkins previously posted prior to a new OFMD Trailer being released back in Sept. Thanks @saltpepperbeard!

2. Some folks think that the Red color is to help indicate Netflix as it is very similar to their signature red. @_Irene_Adler

3. Others are going towards the AppleTV route since out in sunnyside queens, there is an Apple building nearby. @skrifores

Do we actually know? Nope, just conjecture, but it left people wanting to target Netflix and AppleTV more today in terms of hashtags. Which is great cause the Pirate Omens Focused on PrimeVideo in the afternoon.

=Con O'Neil Updated his Instagram, and David Fane commented =

==Ruibo Qian also made a profound update on IG==

"Amplifying positive intent toward a paradigm is what solidifies it into live experience".

Take these updates as you will, but one nice thing about being broken apart from Max is we're starting to see the crew reach out again, and all of it seems to be in somewhat of a positive direction.

==More UK News!==

Today’s news from the UK 24 January 2024 - by @lamentus1

We have a date!! The most amazing news! Season 2 will be available to watch in the UK on BBCiPlayer from Monday 4 February!!! The arrival of season two in the UK will give us an opportunity to organise some attention grabbing events around the show. We’ll keep you posted!

=Convention news=

Starfury Conventions is considering holding an Our Flag Means Death convention here in the UK! We need to show how much interest there is in the idea, so make sure you vote in their poll.

Vote here: https://x.com/starfuryevents/status/1750149921880059968 Make sure they know just how interested we are!

**Note from @gentlebeardsbarngrill: If you are avoiding twitter and need someone to log in and for for you, I have lots of extra twitter handles, just shoot me a DM with what answer you wanna choose and I'll vote on your behalf.**

=Previous Access Poll=

After a week and 986 votes the poll is closed and we can confidently state that 36.5% of fans can’t even watch Our Flag Means Death season 2 in their country yet! This is more than a third of the dedicated fandom not even able to watch the second season, and yet look at how passionate we all are about renewal. Imagine how that will grow when the second season is shown in those countries that have missed out so far.

The poll is here: @lamentus1 Are you able to watch Season 2?

While this last piece isn't SPECIFICALLY for the UK, it is being run in UK time zone so may be a bit harder for some US folks to join in.

== Wee John Wednesday is back! ==

EDIT: hey all, my sick brain messed this one up, Kristian announced on twitter he was gonna reboot wee john weds and I went to IG cause I wanted to get the link and apparently linked an old IG post. Sorry about the confusion! It hasnt been announced when it will start yet. Thank you to @wastingyourgum for the correction!

== Renew As A Crew News ===

So I was a little hesitant to post this, but I'd like you to read it and then read my notes below. This was posted in the Renew As A Crew Public Discord (If someone actually has access to that can you please invite me? I can dm you my creds, I'd rather get it from the source then bugging people).

So, essentially, right now they are considering not keeping the Renew As A Crew "brand" if a team internally doesn't step up within the next two weeks. Several volunteers have expressed their concern with this (as Renew As A Crew is already popular and news sites know about it). I have it on good authority that even though this was posted, other volunteers are trying to change that so we can maintain that Renew As A Crew brand. So if you happen to see this floating around -- please understand this is still up in the air-- so please don't lose hope or worry too much about this just yet.

==New Resource Group on Twitter ==

@adoptourcrew on twitter is trying to keep threads available with compiled resources (similar to these recaps and daily task lists) if you are in fact on twitter, they're a good resource for up to date information. There's been some questions on "who are they!" well they're a fan led group (much like the rest of the campaign) and they will not be focusing on collecting money of any kind, they are an information group. They may suggest fundraisers, but as of right now, no money is exchanging hands with them. So please feel free to check them out here.

== Pirate Omens Watch Party ==

Another fun day of watching good omens with Pirates and Omens fans alike. On to Season 2 tomorrow.

== Lube As a Crew ==

Still making waves all. Thanks @_Irene_Adler for posting this

=== The Queerties! ===

If you have a moment, feel free to head over to the queerties page and do some voting for OFMD! It is.. a really long list, and OFMD only qualifies for two (Vico Oritiz and OFMD in general), but if you have a few minutes it'd help out. It'd be great to at least get those two voted for!

Vote

===Petition Status===

We're so very close to 80K all!

== Some Final Notes ==

So something I noticed today is that we're not trending as much across all the platforms. On twitter, AdoptOurCrew was sticking to 30-35K per 24 hr period for several days, but now it's down to about 24K. We're down to #2 on Max, and the engagement score has gone down quite a bit. Now that might seem like a bad thing. That might seem like we're losing momentum. But I'd like to offer a different perspective. People are taking breaks. People are still directing their efforts on making things more efficient, and compiling information. People are doing more with less -- higher quality tweets, instagram messages, etc. I know that tumblr isn't really being counted high in those stats that tv companies look at, but Im seeing more people interact and delve deep into analysis of things and hashtags are being used. But most of all I'm seeing people take breaks, whether it's in the global strike for Palestine, or just taking some time to recoup.

Not every day is going to be record breaking, nor should it be, because if it was, it'd be people-breaking too. Take it from someone who's worked on 8 month long quality assurance projects, you're gonna have some down days, and that's a good thing.

We've done SO much in so little amount of time, and with David Jenkins and Ruibo Qian posting uplifting things...they see everything we've done, and while they can't tell us if S3 has been adopted, they are sending love. I don't wanna read too much into it conspiracy wise, but I've seen David multiple times over the past few days post RIGHT when things are getting chaotic across all the platforms. He's watching and he's rooting for us. Don't give up hope, but take this time to take a break. Relax, do something creative and fun that you love. Come back when you're feeling refreshed. We'll get there.

=== How To Help ===

If you are still out doing things for the campaign, here's a reminder on how to help (This is not a directive but a guide for when you come back) How To Help Save OFMD Task List - US How to Help Save OFMD Task List - Outside US

== LOVE NOTEEEES ==

Did you know that you're beautiful? When I say beautiful I mean the non-gendered version. You're like really beautiful, inside and out. Seriously look at you. I can feel your beauty miles and miles away through a computer screen, that's how friggn beautiful you are! You're just such a great fucking person and you should be proud of that. You're gorgeous, and beautiful in all ways, and you deserve to be happy lovelies. As always, love you crew, rest up tonight/today.

=================

Well apparently today is Rhys an Rosie's 20th Anniversary! So tonight's Rhys picture will feature Rosie and her lovely letter of love to our favorite dude.

@kiemimi wanted to know my opinion and brainrot on the OPLA characters so here some of them :

-> Akagami no Shanks

No brainrot but very pleased with his actor. Ngl I was a bit skeptical when he first appeared as Shanks. Because this is not how I imagined him to look like irl, and I saw multiple people complain that he didn't look handsome lol. But now I can't see him being portrayed by someone else. He's just him. And he looks very hot when he saves Luffy. 👌🏻

You're in for a ride with him. He's an open book yet there's many things you don't know about him. "You didn't ask" basically. He's really chill and likes to see you laugh and smile, seeing you sad really breaks his heart.

-> Buggy the Clown

BARK BARK BARK. As said in an older post, I didn't recognize the actor and was shocked to see that I already knew him. I saw his face without makeup and found him familiar. It renewed a brainrot with an old character (deke), lol.

There's always something happening. There's rarely ever a fully boring day. And he loves that you're by his side no matter what. He might want to abandon you to save his ass but always end up taking you with him because he doesn't have the heart to actually abandon you. He likes your attention, but you better be careful with it because he might go overboard very easily. And sometimes he's too lost in it to care about what you really want and don't want.

-> Cabaji

GAY ‼️

-> Dracule Mihawk

No brainrot. I have some trouble with his eyes. I can't tell if I would've preferred them without contacts. But other than that he slayed his role, very cunty.

Maybe the calmest relationship of your life. He doesn't talk much but he still values communication because it's important. He trusts you and likes to see you happy, mentally cheering for you.

-> Monkey D. Luffy

No brainrot. The only thing is that he doesn't stretch himself as much as he should. But I can't remember if he used his stretchiness as much as he does now (grabbing someone from afar, launching himself…) otherwise Iñaki is a good luffy. Love him. Knew him from The Imperfects so I was happy to see him again.

Too trusting. And too naive. Believe any words that come from your mouth, but you better not play too much with it because he's going to repeat it. Like Shanks, he likes to make you laugh and see you happy. Seeing his crew in a good mood is important to him.

-> Roronoa Zoro

No brainrot, surprisingly ? I love his anime/manga vers. so idk why his live action isn't clicking. I remember being 15 and fighting for him with a friend lol

Very loyal, not that the others aren't. But you better not betray him. He won't take it kindly. Very trusting as well. If you're ever accused of something you didn't do, he won't need to hear you to know if it's true or fake. And even if it was true, he's going to be like, "You had your reasons *shrugs*."

-> Usopp

Don't have anything to say, good actor choice. Love him as usopp. Can't wait to see more of him in season 2, honestly. Which we would see him as sogeking/sniperking.

He definitely hides behind you but doesn't back down to protect you. Likes to make you laugh. But the more you laugh, the more he might lie to make you laugh even more. Down to try whatever drink you take. If he knows he can't take someone down, he'll run to you for protection. If you can't take them down either, well... You're both running.

-> Vinsmoke Sanji

I don't know why they got rid of the eyebrows. He's really sweet. I love him more than the anime/manga because he's less of a pervert and he's smoother about it. Taz did an amazing job. He's really dedicated from what I've heard, doing his own stunts, learning how to cook…

He loves flirting with you even if he's already dating you. He's really biased when it comes to you. He trusts you with his entire being, heart, and soul. Very gentle lover that makes you breakfast in bed. Or breakfast in the hammock.

[jgnico]

I think it's because there are these theories about south and north that Nanami was mentioning, so people are speculating that Gojo should head north as someone whose identity isn't only strength or the strongest but as a person that renewed himself. Idk, while i like the idea, I don't think it's plausible because it would be too much luckluster and fanservicey. Not what Gojo's arc was about tbh idk

I'd love to read some of those theories, if you have links to them. The most I've seen have been centered around RCT and the characters that can use it either reviving Gojo (not possible, imo, but Gege could turn me into a clown with any new chapter released) or Gojo healing himself (see prev parenthetical). A meta focused perspective would be a breath of fresh air, if you have some links to pass along.

But I do have my own ideas about the meaning of North-South conversation.

My take away is that, much like Nanami, Gojo would have chosen to go South at the time that Nanami originally asked for Mei Mei's recommendation. Both of them are characters that always looked toward their past as guiding factors in their life, to the point where each of them saw someone that they'd lost shortly before their deaths -- Haibara for Nanami, Geto for Gojo -- but when the deciding moment came later on, as adults, they chose North instead.

Before this moment, Nanami is thinking about Malaysia, quite literally somewhere to the south of Japan, but he quickly moves himself away from that train of thought to focus on the students still in Shibuya. For a period of time, he left the Jujutsu world behind, but he never went south like he truly wanted, because he wanted a reason to go back. And he found that reason in teaching Yuuji.

Gojo, by becoming a teacher, never even attempted to leave the way Nanami did. He stayed north, in Japan and in Jujutsu Society, because he wanted to make a better place for the next generation. Choosing to go South is the selfish option here, which is further highlighted by Mei Mei cutting her losses in Shibuya and going south to Malaysia herself.

Side Note: Gojo coming back would be the South option for him. I think that people see them as teenagers here and think that that represents their old selves, but it doesn't, especially when you view the afterlife as new start, a concept that we already had laid out for us when Jogo died.

Choosing to start anew doesn't have to apply to them directly, which is why Nanami references Haibara pointing toward Yuuji when he talks about it. Starting anew is held with the students, a goal that Gojo's generation is passing along to Yuuji's generation. Gojo's dream has always been the future of the students, and while yes, the motivation behind that dream is rooted in his past, he still chose the future before himself.

Going north, which both Gojo and Nanami inevitably chose to do, isn't about them coming back as new people. It's about them putting trust in new people. It's about change -- a new start -- coming from the hands of the students, something that the story has always been about.

Or, in Nanami's own words to Yuuji, "You've got it from here."

#i find it interesting (and telling) that so many people have taken the nanami portion of this chapter #completely differently than how I belive gege meant it #but i've said that already in a previous meta so i didnt want to repeat it here #nanami portion of the chapter isn't meant to be taken literally #its added emphasis and context to pre established ideas when it comes to gojo as a character and the themes of the story #jujutsu kaisen #jjk spoilers #jjk meta #gojo satoru #nanami kento #answers #anon #nicos meta #meta answers

Clown care in the hot weather

Hello friends!

I thought since the time is finally starting to get insanely hot in Spain, i finally have an excuse to talk about Clown Sheding!! If you live in hotter areas, it's common for most clown breeds to shed their uniforms and grow newer, colder uniforms fit for the hotter climate of summer. It really depends on the breed, the time of year and where you live, this process has a different time for each different situation.

I've seen Honk Honk's ruffles around lately and that's what got me into researching this topic. I've found his ruffles are the first things he sheds in general, also during the springtime, but in the summer they've almost been disposed of completely!! I've also noticed he sleeps a lot more and doesn't joke as often, instead prefering to listen to the soft sounds of circus music and elefants in the background. I talked to various clown doctors (as in, doctors for clowns, we all know clown doctors are prone to diagnosing you with lack of laughter), and they all agree his shedding is making him very tired and eepy. The hotter climates of Spain also change their behaviour, since now activities like juggling or squirting flowers are prefered over other more energy consuming activities like riding an unicycle or body comedy (it depends on the breed: Mimes don't change as much because their behaviour is already pretty calm! Tho they might pretend to melt into an invisible puddle when they're too hot, so be careful!!). So Honk Honk being tired and eepy is normal, specially when the shedding has just begun since it takes a lot of energy for them to change into more appropriate costumes, similar to the processes of invertebrates!

So if you live in a hot area, and your clown has just started shedding, what can you do ? First, leave them some space to shed in peace. They're more tired at this time so they tend to look for calm spaces hidden from view to avoid being hunted, and they might also prefer to have company to feel safe. Their makeup is also going to be runny from sweat, so if you can find some nice, clown specific waterproof makeup for them it would help them feel better. You should also renew the water inside their flowers to help them keep cool (unless your clown, like poor Honkie, is unable to squirt, in which case spraying their wigs with cold water might help). Most important, make jokes for them at this time! They're unable to be funny because their sleepy, so make sure to be the fun of their time to keep their fun energy up while the go through this process. High caloric intake is also important: make sure they eat a good variety of hamburgers, hot dogs and, for the breeds that need it, lots of candy! Party Clowns need a lot of birthday cake and snacks like chips in general so make sure to stack up, they're gonna need it!!

Finally, make sure your clown has a lot of balloons to inflate and transform into stuff in this time, to keep them entertained and also help their minds be exercised so they don't loose mass in their brains from not joking around. Hope this little post was helpful!! If you want to add anything, or expand with other breeds like Fools and Pierrots, definetly do so!!

KERRANG! - Great review of the 15.07.2005 concert in Birmingham

Weaving out into the balmy Brum night, the sound of ‘Stripped’ still ringing in your ears, you’re all over the place. Yeah, Rammstein were fucking incredible tonight, an inspirational transmission of pure joy and poetry and drama to a few thousand quaking souls. At the bus stop home you prise your jaw from the floor and feel somewhere between a Demi-god and a mere speck in Rammstein’s universe, an extra in their swirl. And you realize, no other band can do this to you. No-one even comes close.

In fact, we’ve only seen two other bands be this damn good in the hangar-like space of the NEC and they were AC/DC and Black Sabbath.

In 10 years Rammstein have achieved precisely that kind of greatness, knowing exactly how to fill out a stadium with sound and spectacle like no one else at the moment. Where US bands would try and be just a rock’n’roll band and end up sounding weedy in this enormo-vacuum, Rammstein have the smarts to pump every moment with pure theatre — a stunning ‘Reise, Reise’ the first to singe our eyebrows and pop our eardrums with the flames and fireworks we’re all expecting but that still seem so startlingly life-threatening and spontaneous. As Till and co set their mic stands on fire and roar into ‘Rein Raus’ you’ve got too much to take on, your mind melting at the sheer fuck-off sleaze-disco putsch of ‘Mein Teil’ and your funny-bone tickled to distraction by Flake Lorenz’ lunatic dancing and electro-convulsive clowning. Crucially, none of this flash and dazzle would work without the band’s ability to swing from epic romanticism to pulverizing electro-rock in a heartbeat, the Elvis-meets-Stooges style stomp of ‘Los’ delivered raw-as-fuck and shredding your face off with a down-home brutality that’s incredible.

Every song is played perfectly to its strengths by a band at the peak of their powers, a band executing their catalogue and detonating their classics with a seemingly ever-renewed purpose and belief. So by the time Till Lindemann has roasted Flake in a cannibal’s cauldron and ‘Amerika’ has showered us all in red white and blue fall-out we’re so caught up in hurricane Rammstein we never wanna leave. Hollered back by a ecstatic, hugely diverse crowd for two stunning encores (‘Rammstein’, ‘Ohne Dich’, and ‘Ich Will’ are particularly awesome) — as Till blow us a kiss and the band take their bows you feel tearful, like you’re waving goodbye to friendly dictators whose occupation of your soul is coming to an end you’d forgotten would inevitably come.

Reality seems even duller, even crueler, after the wonder and magic of a Rammstein show. Put simply, they are one of the greatest live bands on earth. Like there was ever any doubt. All hail.

i DO think ofmd will be renewed but i don't think it's going to be announced like. within the week. very sadly. i mean i hope it does ofc but i think people looking into the new year thing are forgetting it means the Entire new year yknow 😭 of course maybe i am the clown... mostly just thinking this in general bc i don't want to get my hopes up and they get dashed when nothing happens for the next few weeks :( either way. happy new year !!! and fingers crossed

Seeing as I got this ask right before I went to bed last night, anon do you think it means anything that David posted another "feeling good about 2024" type post again??? 🤡🤡🤡

I think the reason a lot of people are so attached to this week is because it would be RIGHT in the same timeframe as the S1 Finale-S2 Renewal Release. I think it was like...69 (nice)-70 days or so? So this week would land us right within that range again.

Not that that necessarily guarantees anything, especially with all the strikes pushing timelines back and what not, but it sURE WOULD BE NICE 🤡.

But yeah. Realistically, part of me feels like we do still have a bit of a wait for that reason? And I'd ideally like to see an announcement within the first quarter of this year, that way it could get filmed and go into post for an earlier 2025 release. LIKE, A MARCH 2025 RELEASE WOULD REALLY BRING THINGS FULL CIRCLE AND MAKE ME EMO LMAO???

Also like, a Valentine's Day (🤡🤡🤡🤡) renewal announcement would be so friggin cute. So who knows!

BUT THEN, there's a part of me that's looking at David's latest post like "...s-slee 🤡? get more sleep 🤡🤡?? as in, a SINGLE more sleep until a renewal announcement 🤡🤡🤡???????"

So it's quite the chaotic mixture over here, anon HSJKDHLS.

But regardless, Happy New Year to you too, and fingers crossed right back! <3

#Answered #Anons #OFMD #OFMD Season 3 #The Art of Clownery #My hopes are high but not TOO high I guess? #Like part of me DOES recognize potential hang ups from all the scheduling issues and what not last year #Buuuuuut also like 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

[moongothic]

So maybe this is just me, but I always thought it was fairly obvious that Croc and Mihawk would be forced to get wrapped up in Buggy's renewed quest for the One Piece. Oda loves his comedy, and these two deeply self serious ex-warlords being forced into marching along with Buggy's outlandish antics because they screwed themselves by just rolling with Buggy being the political hate sink of Cross Guild in their place is top tier comedy. Like arguably the two most straight laced villains in all of One Piece have now put themselves in a situation where they are beholden to Buggy D Fucking Clown. I can't think of anything funnier.

Don't want to go too deep into this because I have talked about this before (mainly in the tags to other posts lmao) and while I agree it would be Objectively Funny if the two got dragged into Buggy's Quest for One Piece, it's just not what I personally want to see happen with these two characters, Crocodile especially

Like regardless of what Crocodile's been cookin' these past two years, clearly he has his own plans and goals to reach, and I want to see what those are and how they'll pan out

And I'm just not interested in Cross Guild entering the Race for One Piece, Luffy already has Shanks to compete with (along with? Blackbeard?? Law and Kid??), so adding these idiots into the mix feels so unnececary, the race is already crowded so adding these washed up losers feels like an absolute waste because we know they CAN'T win. And even if Buggy somehow managed to beat Luffy in the race (like to be fair he did accurately predict himself becoming a Shichibukai and a Yonkou during Marineford, the only prediction Buggy's made that hasn't become true yet is him becoming Pirate King), the comedy gold aside... I'm just not interested in seeing the story pan out like that

Like between Cross Guild's bounty on Garp's head (who is currently in Blackbeard's hands), the incoming Seraphim and the Romancing SaGa 2 implications for Crocodile and whatever the fuck his mysterious backstory is... Yeah I just think there's more interesting directions the plot could develop in

#Unless there's a Davy Back Fight. In which case STRAWHATS VERSUS CROSS GUILD LET'S GOOOOOOOOOO #Asks #Moon posting #OP Meta #OP Spoilers #Like yes to be fair Law and Kid did both get nuked #I'm not entirely sure they're disqualified yet though #And with Blackbeard... Like CURRENTLY he seems to want to make Fullalead into a Country within the WG right #But also he did back in Marineford say he wanted to claim the One Piece and they do know Burn Scar Man has the Poneglyph #+They have Law's copies too so like. He could be in the race (in a lowkey manner)

[4ft10tvlandfangirl]

I'm a week late on 9-1-1 so I just watched 6x15 and 6x16 together. Kind of glad I got the news of the abc move first because now the hopeful feeling I always have during the buddie scenes was turned up a notch. I'm legit excited.

Eddie and Chris having a graveside conversation then Buck and Eddie doing the same thing was interesting. We've never seen them visit Shannon's grave before & while I know processing death and moving on from it was the point here, Eddie being apart of both convos is important. Like how he deals with death/will deal with it is important.

Chris obviously misses his mom but Eddie does too despite the difficulties he and Shannon had. She was a part of his life, will always be Christopher's mother, so it's still good to see him mourn her loss. Now Marie is no one to Buck or Eddie but she affected them both in their brief interaction. For Eddie she highlighted something he is clearly concerned about, dying alone. For Buck, he respected the ease with which she confronted her death (with help from Natalia who is lovely & I genuinely like her). Buck still doesn't know how to deal with his death but he seems to want to choose the positive way.

"From here on out, it's all a gift."

I'm not upset about the 'she really sees me' line. Eddie's immediate side eye and expression was worth it imo 😅

I don't feel like it was romantic either. This is a stranger who has no connection to Buck. When they talk about his death it feels purely from a fascination & wanting to understand perspective. Not the heavy, "You died Buck." (we almost lost you) that he hears when his sister or Bobby or Eddie says it. Buck wants to process it all without the weight of that I think and that's why talking to Natalia about it is so appealing to him.

Buck and Eddie wearing similar earthy tones throughout the episode and looking very complimentary had me feeling like Tía Pepa somewhere saying, "You two are still dressing alike I see..." 👀

Also! Buck is wearing a similar plaid jacket to the one he wore in 5x14 when he introduced Eddie to equine therapy and they had that first meaningful talk about the shooting & second chances at life.

They were wearing complimentary shades then too. In both instances talking about the 'after' of a near death experience and what it all means. Buck in each instance seemed to be the more positive while Eddie was quietly reflective. Although, Eddie is in a much better place now because he was being positive too.

I love that he reaffirmed what seems to be the prevailing idea between them this season; 'you don't have to put on a show/act or pretend for me anybody'. 👀👀👀

We got another shout out to the universe in all her glory when the picture of Shannon fell off the fridge. Like unprovoked, it was perfectly fine there all along and then it just fell? Talk about a SIGN.

Last but not least, the couch of it all! Chris falling asleep in almost exactly the same way Buck had right after Eddie went to go get something for them from the kitchen?

Yeah...these parallels are not even subtle. I can't be normal about any of these scenes at all and I refuse to be! Straight clowning but with renewed hope. Thanks abc 😅

! spoilers for gossip girl reboot are below !

overall, my biggest hope for the finale was fulfiled - kate was exposed and she is finally in jail. so yeah, i can count that as a win

still, gg reboot worked for me not only because of drama it had (and i am a sucker for drama), but because characters were really interesting and i personally resonated with some of them. so of course i am mad because we were robbed of good ending. luna finally getting her voice and having a storyline only for it to be thrown away like it didn’t happen. monet not being in italy when savannah was there during filming. couldn’t they include her in group scenes? i guess we will never know. oh, and the most boring character like obie being included in main gg plot, Rome plot, gg reveal plot. don’t get me started on this one cause i don’t even understand why they kept him around. zoya finally getting a promising love interest and his scenes with the whole group being cut? such a bad move.

as for triad, i am mad and disappointd. just a week earlier i was clowning myself thinking that they are going to break them three up. and what do we have here? aki and audrey throwing max under the bus again. them completely erasing their whole development only to end up together without any worries about max. and poor max feeling like they both played with him an got tired of him. i feel so sorry for him because he is the one character in this whole reboot who changed the most since the first episode. he is the only one whose development and progress were not forgot about.

thomas doherty is an amazing actor because i also cried with him when he realised that aki and audrey are not in love with him like he is with them. writers are really cruel for letting this scene be in the final cut because once again we have a media example that throuples are just for sex and sex only. once again tv series is proving that polyamory does not exist in a healthy way. once again the golden couple stays together and redeemed character is getting heartbroken. i can’t even describe in words what i am feeling right now because not only the triad had no purpose with this ending, but a character that had so much growth during the series has circled back to point zero. if writers were backing them up and completing most of the storylines because they suspected that the series is not going to be renewed, why letting triad stay this way? why breaking them up and pointing that their whole relationship mattered only to max and leaving aki and audrey together? i am so pissed at creators now. and if before finale i was able to defend them, now i actually can’t.

so, jobie and akidrey are getting their onscreen endgames while other characters get nothing. good to go gg reboot!

my ideal finale of this season would have been if triad broke up - them three breaking up and finding themselves outside of relationship. like we could have finally have their separated storylines and them being independent characters. specifically audrey and aki needed that. so i really hoped that three of them would break up, discover themselves and around season three finale they would realise what they are missing. so starting the last episodes of season three triad would be getting closer again and realising that the three of them are still in love with each other. they would have a confession in season finale and finally getting together in a healthy way (without sneaking behind each other backs and having any doubts) in the beginning of season four. as josh mentioned, he wanted to have four seasons of gg, so as for season four, i imagined characters to have college-related drama. for the triad, i think that they could have had a “will we last long-distance or not” just like seth and summer from the oc in season three. no cheating, no doubting each other, not any of them feeling extra. just regular senior year drama that every high school relationship goes through. i feel really robbed and i would be looking forward reading josh’s interview because i think he is going to share some of their plans for future seasons. also, let’s not forget that initial plan was for triad to be an endgame. so let’s focus on that

Crossover between Scp!yuu and Cyberpunk!yuu?

As the consept sounds interesting as Cyber sees SCP coming out of a random portal and they just pulled out a gun they hidden away and nearly shooting at them knowing well what they are capable of and what weird shit they might do

Foundation: *stepping out of their new portal* YES IT WO- *falls over from bullet hitting their leg* WTF-

Cyber: Who and how the fuck did you get here, bitch?

Dimension hopping!!

SO basically if you asked Foundation if their portal gun would work after using a mountain dew knock off from Twisted wonderland they would have said yeah that might work. BUT them actually doing it AND it WORKED?? They are very happy right now. BUT sadly was shot in the leg by another version of them. Cyberpunk!

So as they lay on the ground explaining i full detail their counterpart sighs and picks the portal gun up "You need to go back and not mess with the timeline since it could ruin other universes or even collapse the worlds we know nothing of." Foundation nodded "But I only used it twice I met another Yuu as well their name was Vuu, also you may call me Foundation!" Cyber nodded "But you really need to go back, like right now." Foundation was about to speak before that Hyena Leona always uses walked in "Babe want to get some- Who is that?" What was his name?? Puggie?? no Ruggie! Foundation always thought it was weird how he was named that.

Cyber sighed again already feeling a headache coming "his is another me from a different dimension, please don't ask I already have a headache dealing with Ace earlier." Their husband nodded "Well do we need to help them or.." Foundation finally got up and yanked the bullet out with their nails "Don't worry I've been shot, burned, clawed, and other things! This didn't really hurt if I'm being honest." Cyber then walked to her fridge that had the mountain dew knock off.

Ruggie watched as Cyber open another portal to a different dimension, but sadly wasn't Foundations it was where the state yuu's were. Foundation was here before and with the help with New York was able to get back to their dimension. Cyber groaned "Ruggie hon I'll be back later okay?" and they kissed his cheek "Love you see you later!" And pulls both her and Foundation into the portal into the state dimension. Ruggie watched as his wife left and in shock "Okay my wife is gone so I guess food only for me??" And he walked out to get food for Cyber's return.

With the two Yuu's they walked into the bigger Ramshackle that was renewed with all the states help. Knocking on the door Cyber smirked as Oregon opened the door. He sighed and opened the door "Hey Cyber want me to get New York for you?" Cyber nodded "Yeah dumbass over here jumped to my dimension and I could get them back so we came here instead." He nodded and waled up the stairs, and as he did Florida was walking done "OH CYBER SUGAR HOW ARE YOU??" She came done and kissed her cheek and hugged her tight "It's been to long how your husband?" Cyber filled her in and Florida began to scold Foundation because what if it didn't work and they died?? Dimension hopping can be very dangerous since you don't know if the dimension your going to is going to be a good one.

Foundation nodded "Also may I ask why is there so many Yuu's here?" Florida went on a rant how a person from every state ended up in the coffin like a clown car and they ended up ruling the school mostly. Then it turned with them asking each other on their projects they were working on. Cyber smiled as Foundation was getting conformable with the states. Finally after 2 whole rants NY finally came done to see them "Sorry my partner was calling me." Cyber waved "I know it's fine we just need to get to our dimensions." NY nodded "Come with me to the basement where the other state are working on the machine, you know us we get bored and travel to others for the thrill of it." Florida nods "I was about to bring them done there actually but then Foundation asked about my outfit-" NY nodded and walked everyone down as Florida talked with Foundation on something else.

As they walked to the basement they need 4 states working on it Cali, Maryland, Colorado, and Massachusetts. They were talking as some of them were tinkering on the machine, Cali noticed them and squealed when she saw Cyber "OMG!!" The other states greeted them and Cali began to chat with her. Massachusetts started the machine and looked at Cyber "Were ready when you are hon." Nodding Cyber Grabbed Foundations hand "Here place your hand on this!" The scanner was able to use Foundations hand print to find their dimension. Foundation was in awe of everything and began to ask questions and the states gladly answered them, after that they were finally ready to leave. Turning to Cyber and the others they smile "I had an amazing time meeting you all, hopefully I see you again!" The smiled "Your welcome any time hun!" Florida said as everyone bid them goodbye.

Foundation was blipped into the living room of their Ramshackle and decided they need to get to work right away and rushed to the basement all of that talking gave them so many idea's!! They need to do more and learn even more!!

With Cyber they walked up and placed her hand then bid everyone good bye as they were teleproted in front of Ruggie, in return feel off his seat on to the floor "Hello dear." Cyber greeted as she helped him up. Ruggie held his chest and Cyber giggled and told him everything that happened when they left him.

== Morale ==

Definitely head on over to Rhys' New Cameo video if you haven't already because as always his sunshine is a big ol dose of Vitamin Darby right to the soul and there's nothing that can replace that feeling!

== Love Notes ==

Done with your Rhys love? Great! But now you have to endure my unconditional love as well! *Maniacal laughter*

Are you aware that you are so very loved, my dear?

But also, did you know you're worthy of love?

All the love--- Like every kind you want (platonic, romantic, parental, agape, etc)

You are not difficult to love. Not at all.

You are not too much, or too little,

you're exactly the right amount,

and you are worthy of love just the way you are.

I've probably said it before, but I want you to know just how imperfectly perfect you all are, and every moment of every day you deserve love and happiness and everything you want in life.

The world is such a better place with you in it and all of your crewmates want you to know that. We care for you deeply my friends.

You matter, don't ever forget that.

= Daily Darby / Tonight's Taika =

So I just got done watching a bunch of Radiradirah on youtube (which is goofy AF btw, like New Zealand Monty Python style fun) and I can't get over Space Waltz, so tonight that's the theme. Look at these two stinking goofballs and their faces.

Night lovelies <3

PS: I never say it but thank you for all the lovely comments in the tags! They always make me smile, yall are the best!

Night Blogging

okay, *technically* I'm not using the term right. It's an old phrase from before we called it Shitposting- we blamed all the weird stuff on sleep deprivation and Australians lmao

But it's night, and I'm blogging, so here we are.

so if you've read my other long posts, you'll know I'm in multiple open polyamorous relationships... and that I'm having what one might call "a hoe phase" and an accompanying crisis about if I still have worth if I'm a slut.

Well now im having a whole different (but still slut-adjacent) crisis. Do I even know what romance is????

This didnt come out of nowhere. My girlfriend mentioned that I was dating around as though I was single several months ago. And today she- wisely- brought up that i am at risk of girl bossing too close to the sun. and I had already been thinking about how my sibling had said that our parents didnt really model romance for us, and that we were told that romantic love is just kissing your best friend. And to be clear: I TOTALLY am. I'm not lonely or touch starved or sad or maidenless (or lad-less) in any sense of the imagination.

So... why am I still pursuing people??

The tree i can understand. He's a fun fuck, and he travels the renfaire circuit so I wont see him all the time. No chance of a solid relationship, just a fun easy breezy fling.

The lookout? Similar thing. Super fun to make out with and fine as HELL, but he lives like three hours away and doesnt seem interested in going steady. I can work with that

Max is PolySaturared and we just make out when I'm over for house parties, which isnt as often as I'd like but I'm desperately trying not to have too much of a crush on him (or his wife... or his girlfriend... or his other partner) so it's fine (jesus, maybe I'm not Ace, maybe I am just autistic)

Theres my good ex and my middle school bestie, but they're hella busy and our schedules havent really lined up. Disappointing, but acceptable.

The thing these people have in common is that they are almost entirely unavailable for me to date!! Until literally a month ago I was under the impression that I was just chasing the dopamine of New relationship Energy with ethically renewable sources and I could get my cozy domestic stability from my lovely girlfriends and partner...

And then trumpet guy and I made out at one of Max's house parties.... and Then I went on two dates with The Goblin King after making out with him and the Tree at the same time on NYE. And like??? It's so weird to say that I dont think either of them are stupid hot???? (But only one of the three people I'm dating is Stupid Hot, so there is precedent but?) It feels kinda weird and disingenuous to want to spend more time with these people who I'm not crushing on

And yet im Quickly falling head over clown shoes for trumpet guy. He's cute and fun and he asked me out on a date to dress way fancy and get sushi and go see a musical and???? I had just been telling a classmate that I didnt feel like I had been properly romanced since high school and?????? While I'm an impatient slut, it feels nice to be pursued.

The goblin king is really fucking sweet, and he's got really nice hair, but I'll wait to try talking myself out of liking him until after our next date... (too late, cant unthink that. I'll bring it up in person. He's really cool and I do want to still be his friend, but we both live with parents who would NOT get it so that kinda makes it hard to have solo couple time... or any couple time. It's not like I have to make a choice anytime soon but the dude deserves to know that I'm not sure if there's anything for us beyond friendship and the occasional kiss. Heck, we've only made out the one time and not even just us.)

Anyway, what's tumblr for other than an online diary??

[ask-hannah-blog]

As you guys know I used my super powers and got Cassidy to agree to sit down with me for a talk. Cassidy is a young woman who has a more advanced form of Clown Flu than me.

Her skin is completely white down to her knees. Her peach shins and feet make it look like she’s wearing reverse knee highs. She has the reddest hair you can imagine that falls in waves. She says it used to be straight and blonde, but it’s hard to imagine. She obviously has a hard time controlling the thick mess. She tried to hide it under a wide sun hat, but it spills out everywhere. Her face is fairly normal, except for her ears, which are huge. No makeup patterns, but she is Snow White.

We sat down for lunch at a local restaurant, and she requested to be sat in the back facing away from the door.

We had a brief conversation where she squashed my dreams of poaching her from Comstock, but she did agree to let me interview her for the blog. The following is a bit from our conversation.

——-

Hannah: Thanks for sitting down with me.

Cassidy: Happy to talk with a fellow survivor.

Before we begin, you understand I’ll be posting this conversation on my blog.

Yes.

Perfect. So tell us a little bit about yourself before this all started.

Well I was a teacher for kindergarten and an aspiring writer. No boyfriend to speak of, but I wasn’t in a real rush there. I have a cat and a tumblr where I talk about Sailor Moon.

Now that’s a good life. I don’t like to think of things as before and after transformation, I believe there is a lot of continuity in ourselves as we transition between stages. However things are different now, how have things changed for you?

Mainly just the job. I was distracting the kids so they put me on paid leave. But there’s no way my contract is getting renewed. And of course I look like a total freak, when I used to be kind of pretty.

Hey, if Goblin Fever taught us anything it’s that everyone is beautiful to someone! But I understand completely. And I’m sorry about your job. I know I’d be done for too. I know there are transformation friendly companies…”

“Yeah mainly titty bars…”

“Haha that’s true too.”

“Sorry to be such a rain cloud…”

“No it’s good! People have to know what we’re dealing with. And I guess it means you haven’t been full clown.”

“I could just be one of those sad clowns.”

“Now that would stink. So when did you first start noticing signs of your transformation?”

“Don’t you want to know about how I got infected?”

“Oh! I didn’t know there was a story there. Yes please go ahead.”

“Well I was at a bar drinking with a few friends. Someone just got a promotion. Well while we’re drinking this clown stumbles in. She’s moaning and groaning and has this big thermometer sticking out if her mouth, and a cold pack on her head. Well she’s making a big show of how sick she is, she’s wearing footie pajamas, and is dragging a blanket behind her. She orders chicken soup from the kitchen and sits at the table right next to us.”

“You’re not going to tell me that you think she was infectious?”

“Well she was sick wasn’t she?”

“Well yes, but clown flu isn’t communicable. Did any of your friends get sick?”

“No, but she didn’t sneeze on any of them.”

“Sneeze?”

“Yeah half way though the night she just aaa-AAA-ACHOO’D right at me. Then I was just covered in silly string! It was so gross!”

“Silly string?”

“Yep. Just a web of the stuff all over me, and she just sniffles and says she’s sorry! Like I was covered in a gallon of goop! And of course the next day wake up with a fever.”

“That does sound pretty convincing. I think I got it from a bar too, but no one sneezed on me thank goodness.”

“If it wasn’t her, then nothing else makes sense.”

End of part one
