ok heres my two cents on tour and the cancelled dates. imo its been a real mixture of everything as to why dates haven't sold out/been cancelled. I think they (dan and his promoter team) booked venues that were just too big. majority of the venues have been 1-2k capacity and dan just doesn't have that kind of audience anymore, not on his own anyway. this goes hand in hand with dan perhaps not promoting the tour as much as he could have. now i love him so much but u can't expect people to go and see u if you ain't doing anything online ??? i know he's said countless times that he's a perfectionist when it comes to what he uploads. whether that be a tweet or an instagram post and he's said he struggles knowing what he wants to upload, especially with his videos. unfortunately this doesn't go hand in hand with wanting to go on a world tour and have actual real life people come and watch you. like if he's not giving us anything online what incentive is there to see him irl?
i also think back to what he said about the pre show q&a only being in the uk/america/canada bc the other venues didn't know how well it would work and didn't wanna risk adding it (which makes no sense tbh bc people have already bought tickets so they'll wanna see a q&a??) i think some of these setbacks have been due to the fact he's still seen as "just a youtuber" and like dnp have mentioned before when talking about tatinof/ii, venues were so reluctant to host their show bc they aren't mainstream celebrities/comedians. it makes me wonder if dan has ever thought about dipping his toes into traditional stand up comedy and building up an audience via actual gigs and shows as well as creating content online.
i really like what @yonpote said here that he should have done the tour in stages rather than announce a full world tour at the start. he could have seen how well it did in the uk and then planned better for venues in the usa/aus/nz/europe. but hey i guess thats the beauty of hindsight and maybe if he did another tour he'd do it differently (or just not work with these promoters tbh they've been a mess from the start. remember the oxford/cambridge chaos?)
all of this to say we'll never know any of the answers bc dan certainly isn't gonna tell us (most likely bc contractually he can't lol) i do hope he talks about the iceland show though and communicates with us as an audience (something i dont think either of them are great at but thats another post lol) and i just hope all of these cancellations havent like stressed him out too much

lol it’s hard for me to believe any of the negative stories ppl have abt Dan or Bastille, like I just see them as angels and perfectly nice all the time
yeah I mean same kind of. I can't really imagine them doing anything actively mean or trying to be rude to fans or anything lol, but also they are people so there are gonna be times when they're tired or busy or just don't want to be bothered and, even though that's obviously like fine and allowed, i can see how that might rub people the wrong way.
idk i think part of it is that they, and particularly dan, have such a reputation for being super nice and also the way dan comes across as very down-to-earth and kind of accessible (?) for an artist of his size can lead people to feel veryyy entitled to his time and a certain level of friendliness ig, so if the interaction doesn't go the way they want it to then some people will take that out on him even though he's literally just a person lol
also they aren't angels and perfectly nice all the time they are literally just people pls don't think that about anyone ahaha lol

explosive affection - express crew
Tumblr media Tumblr media
summary; not all kids are normal. and not all kids are bomb loving kids. you were quite an odd one.
genre/extra tags; headcanons/bullet fic, fluff, comedy, klee! reader, reader is quite literally a danger to any planet, reader implied to be from some random planet, mute! trailblazer, welt is so tired of you
[gender neutral! reader] [9-10 yrs old! reader] [platonic]
a/n; i played genshin before, so i know klee. and i got her lmao. so i get the idea. time to be a little silly goofy and channel back my genshin phase rq also i made this more into a bullet fic than like proper hcs
Tumblr media
my god, you worry everyone on the train. and everyone on different planets.
they kind of took you in bc your parent was a close friend of himeko's and bam, now you got three sibling figures and a father figure and an aunt figure.
you were a sweet kid
but when himeko forgot to warn any of them (save for welt bc.. it's welt) about your.. hobby
"da-da-da! blow them all up!" and all of sudden you're blowing shit up
"OH MY GOD Y/N NO-" was the first thing yelled from march as she openly panics and calls himeko "HIMEKO WHY DOES SHE HAVE BOMBS?!"
"oh dont worry about that, y/n likes making bombs."
...
"this is a child, himeko."
"well, i never said they were a normal one." and then the call ends
and you're hanging from trailblazer's arms like a kitten, giggling at himeko's words
"y/n likes bombs! you guys want to meet dodoco?" and there's an adamant no from march and dan heng but a yes from trailblazer
after that, they slowly but surely come to understand that this child is destructive but means well most of the time.
trailblazer likes watching you just explode fishes and sometimes lets you fight with them against enemies bc what are they gonna do, kill a child?
dan heng and march try to keep your habits at bay for the most part but you're just so sweet and you usually listen to them that they let you have fun with trailblazer
you like trailblazer the most bc they enable you and you enable them
it's such a tiresome duo oml, they're all tired of it fr
himeko and welt are the real caretakers and enforcers if worse comes to worse
when you guys visit a new planet, you stay back with welt until you're given the okay to explore with the trio
but when you do a little too much, you're taken in your room for time out KJSKJD
but it's okay because welt isn't the one putting you in there
it's himeko
she's usually chill but she finds out quickly that you have an enabler by your side (cough, trailblazer) so she has to enforce a bit more
though all of them find you so endearing when you're so sweet with everyone
you just make friends with everyone in the express and outside the express, it just makes a heavy day feel lighter when you just come in and give your affections to everyone
it's just really sweet overall

another update. love that for me
hey guys, dan here again!!! wanted to give another update on progress!
so if you follow my main you know im also working on other stories/comics at the same time as dpgii! my dbz oc comic "mirrors" is my current baby that im putting most of my time into. having said that, i kind of..havent been working on any doppelganger pages x'D but theres more to it than just being occupied with another comic, which is what i wanted to talk about!
the original plan for dpgii was that i was going to just do the entirety of chapter 1 as a comic and then stop, allowing everyone to read the fic afterward once they got a taste of the story. then i realized i didnt have the energy or interest to invest into a full chapter, so i decided to compromise with saying i'd do a small scene from each chapter instead. THEN i realized i dont have the motivation for even THAT much...and i left it at the first five pages.
i guess that's where i'm at right now? im kinda lowkey getting back into danny phantom for reasons i kinda talked about on main a while back, so my interest in dpg has been on and off rather than just..off x'D but ive been considering at LEAST, if nothing else, drawing the one scene i was excited for--or...i guess in this case, the whole chapter. chapter 5! it has the most action and the most drama--just like the og comic--and i was really looking forward to drawing it!
so im thinking i might do that :] however this could change too..so i dont want to promise anything! apologies if any of u were excited for a full comic or even little snippets 🙏 its just hard to invest so much time and energy into something i only have a little bit of interest in..as much as i genuinely love it
i guess as a reminder, my main is @eirian, my art blog is @dansaiyanart, and my other currently-running comic blogs are @mirrorscomic and @villain-school! also, the FULL SEQUEL is available as a fic here if you'd like to read what i had planned!
the future of doppelganger is uncertain, but it will always be important to me u_u <3 thank you all so much for the support youve given over the years, it means the actual world to me and was the reason i started making comics beyond doppelganger at all!

sorry i dont have anyone to talk to this about lol so it's going in your inbox but i'm in my mid-20s and only now for the first time in my life have i changed my mind on rpf specifically because of phanfic. i'm a returning phannie but like.... the last time i watched them was all the way back in 2012. and was very ani-rpf then and have continued to be through the years. and i think in a lot of cases i maintain that position. but after falling back in love with dnp and the phandom and caving into the urge to read some phanfic knowing that dnp themselves encourage and respect it im kind of shocked to find it's actually a really beautiful, metatextual, interactive creative outlet. i think youve talked a bit about how phanfic isnt really rpf to you and i kind of agree, because dan and phil to me are like.... an idea, a mythology, a narrative, that theyre aware of and have built as well as being aware that we're aware of. like the idea of dan and phil has been constructed by them and their fans hand in hand for over a decade. and i find that phanfic itself is very aware of this and exists to expand upon those ideas. lol. yeah that's it sorry for this ramble. i just find it surprising that something could change my mind on that in this day and age but it's been a very cool experience.
hello welcome youve come to the right place for this yap because i COMPLETELY understand you. like genuinely i am not this attached to any other "rpf" content like this? ok i had an egobang phase but honestly arin and danny have grown to share a similar but not exact same connection as dnp BUT I DIGRESS
but yeah i think a lot of it is due to the contrastive relationships between the brand of Dan and Phil™, their separate individual brands Daniel Howell and AmazingPhil (particularly dan), the Phanon dnp, and the actual real people dan and phil. i always go back to the fanfiction segment of tatinof but its just such a perfect example of what i mean. like, the entire idea to have a fanfic scene was ofc the real people's idea, and they used tropes they would see in the phanon to convey the audience interactive story, but at the same time had to keep it at least Somewhat appropriate for the Brand™ at the time being very pre-teen and teen focused. honestly idk how much you've gone back and watched of what you missed, but i would suggest doing that not just cuz theres some incredible stuff from those eras, but also seeing the intersection of the brand, fanon, and real people and when they split apart. you see it a lot especially in gaming videos imo where theyre unscripted, and once they got more comfortable in the gaming channel roles the energy shifting away from Brand but never too far... until ofc now where what even is their brand anymore just Chaos and Queerness i guess
OH ALSO go read some old fic and compare to newer ones like its not just that writing styles changed or that dnp themselves have changed, but the like. energy and intent put into fic has changed. i would say in the past it was more exploratory, putting dnp in AU's and imagines, or exploring what Could have happened. whereas now, yes ofc there are au's and fic for the purpose of exploring a concept or world, but also its a lot more introspective. exploring the inner world a bit more. idk i just thijk dnp are funny lil guys and they accidentally created some freaky lil creatures in a lab somewhere...

about me!!
i want to make an intro to me !! and this blog
⚝ so i've made this studyblr blog to document my own studying journey and hopefully to start motivating me to study and fall in love with the process!!
⚝ i'm 16, scottish, and, as of last friday (19th april 2024), have just finished my penultimate year at secondary school, and am about to sit my exams for my sqa highers!!
⚝ my favourite subject in school is physics and i'm soon going to be applying to university to study astrophysics !!
⚝ i've been obsessed with space since forever, in my old house i even had one of my bedroom walls painted to look like space complete with galaxies and constellations so it's always been my area of interest and i'd love to use this blog to meet people whose interests align with mine or even study astrophysics and want to give me tips (would be much appreciated!!!)
⚝ other than physics, in school next year i will be studying maths and computer science, and this past year i also studied chemistry and spanish
⚝ outside of school, i've been involved in youth theatre since 2017 and acting is a big passion of mine and was my number one career choice up until recently. my biggest interests are music (music means everything to me), and cringe late-2010s stuff like dan and phil, homestuck, steven universe, sanders sides etc etc because i dont know how to move on from the past lmao
⚝ my fav music artists are my chemical romance, pierce the veil, OLD!!!! p!atd, hozier, tally hall, and just to continue the nostalgia theme, i also love the oh hellos, dodie, aurora and set it off and so many other artists PLEASE talk to me about music
ok i think i've waffled enough and gotten off topic lol pls be my friend if you have any of the same interests as me though, especially academically!! <3<3

random thought but i love eugene mirman's gene sounds ESPECIALLY when gene is sleeping. they're so good & cute
louise tina bob and linda looking @ gene literally exactly like this when he forgets how his song goes at breakfast LMAOO
Tumblr media Tumblr media
love that tina and louise seem to actually pay attention to what songs gene is writing and what they're about despite the fact that there are SO MANY. supportive family <3
gene's dream.... bro that was god speaking to you. like for real wtf
also im only a minute in and there are SO MANY good screenshots already he's such a cutie i love him so much!!!! <3 gene episodes my beloved
"Now I'm going to change into last night's pajamas, AKA my only pajamas, and brush my teeth with Tina's toothbrush because that's what I accidentally did last night."
"Wait, what?"
gene and tina are so silly?? 😭
me and gene share many similarities including waking up in the middle of the night every two hours for no fucking reason. like THATS relatable
MR AMBROSE APPEARANCE LETS FUCKING GOOO‼️‼️ why does his voice sound slightly sped up is he okay. does he have a new voice actor?? he sounds slightly off not like in a bad way its just strange
THERE WAS A NEW VOICE ACTOR BCUZ BILLY EICHNER WASNT CREDITED maybe bcuz its such a small appearance but thats very weird. i feel like mickey fans in season 12 episode 6 when loren did that horrible mickey impression 😭😭 also whoever did his voice in this episode wasnt credited so it was somebody from the main cast doing an impression of him. will try to figure out who. sorry episode review cancelled i need to figure out who the hell voiced mr ambrose in this episode
based on the fact that u cant obviously tell who it is i dont think its eugene mirman and probably not h jon benjiman?? dan mintz can only do one voice so its not him either. probably either john roberts larry murphy or a random crew member who they didnt bother to credit
(most likely billy eischner just wasn't avaliable to voice mr ambrose due to his movie career etc so i dont blame them but it was noticeable enough to ME that i needed to figure it out. not even a bad impression honestly the average fan wouldnt notice)
"What do you lucid dream about?"
"I do revenge stuff on people who were mean to me in high school, some fantasy and science fiction, some adult stuff I can't tell you about."
this is literally the gayest thing mr ambrose has ever said omg FHFMDDJKSKS i cant believe this drama club ass nerd was bullied in high school who could have guessed. not me thats for sure
(now somebody has to write a fanfic about mr ambrose having Adult Stuff dreams about mr frond. i want this on my desk by 3pm tomorrow)
love mr ambrose and his gay ass curly hair..... mr ambrose my beloved <33 kisses u
i dont have anything to say im just strangely invested in gene's lucid dreaming plot at this point. Love all his silly little dreams and its incredible he never seems to have any nightmares or anything!!
this is reminding me of the movie where gene had a dream and he was scared that he wasn't good at music and that people weren't going to like his performance and the aliens came down to told him to stop 😭😭💔 his insecurity that he might not be that good a musician literally makes me cry. he's so sweet and kindhearted my babyy boy
CAN I SKIP SCHOOL AND GO BACK TO SLEEP LMAO
"Even successful musicians went to sixth grade, Gene."
"That's a MYTH!!"
weirdly mr ambrose started sounding completely normal at some point like did his voice actor come back and just wasn't credited?? or whoever did this impression was REALLY good jfc
mr ambrose HATES these fuckign kids bro
HES SO UNHINGED LMAO 😭😭
NOT THE STARING AGAIN. why are they literally just this image every single time gene plays music in this episode im gonna cry
Tumblr media Tumblr media
love this specific frame of gene running his hand through his hair
Tumblr media
awww bob is such a good dad
sidenote but this subplot with tina and louise is so stupid it actually made me laugh LMAO the fucking girl cricket. thr female cricket. like what if he's gay huh what then
"or if she's not his type she also makes a great best friend. she's a good listener" THANK YOU louise for acknowledging the cricket might be gay. she's an ally 🙏
AWW GENE WRITING HIS SONG <3 eugene mirman isnt a Good singer (not hating he literally says that all the time. they have to record each line seperately bcuz he cant sing on key) so its hard to tell when they're trying to make gene's songs seem good or not but this is really sweet. u can tell he just loves music so much
why is gene's song kinda making me emotional..... like this show is usually 50/50 on if it actually wants to take gene's songwriting ability seriously but in this episode its so clear how much he LOVES music and songwriting and how talented he is at it. he has trouble with focus and commitment sometimes but thats never an issue when it comes to his music and he'd happily spend an entire afternoon writing a song from start to finish (even skipping out on dinner) because he was so hyperfocused. love how much respect they give gene in this episode tbh
deeply appreciate the "larry murphy as teddy" credit despite teddy not having one single line in this entire episode. Literally just a legacy credit at this point
I LOVED THIS EPISODE 😭😭💕 i dont think it'll be as widely popular as some other episodes this season but as a gene fan and an artist this episode really resonated with me. the ending sequence was actually really beautiful (gives me the same vibes as "your heart's not broken its only growing" tbh) and i loved gene's song and all the different costumes they put him in for his dreams!! tina and louise's subplot was really cute too. very enjoyable episode if you're a gene fan or just a casual viewer who wishes he got more focus. he's SO SWEET and so passionate <3

last night i watched for the first time dan's video about not wanting to have kids (don't come for me but some of the dystopia daily vids are too much for me ahah). i think he is so valid for wanting to live his own life (which is not selfish at all!) and also not wanting to put the burden of literally saving the world on the shoulders of a child. I think he is also right that many of the people choosing not to have kids are the ones who….should be having kids. because they will raise those kids to care about the world. dan and phil and in general these kinds of people, who would love their kids and want them to explore and care about the really cool world they've been born into, would all make amazing parents most likely. he also says he's young and still figuring life out! which he is! and has time to change his mind, or not. he also considers what it would be like to baby-proof their house in this video, and even if it's only to say why he doesn't want to do that anytime soon, it's still clearly something he's thought about. I actually really ended up liking this video. in some ways it felt like many of his old videos where it's just him musing about a serious topic. sorry for dropping this huge wall of text in your asks lol.
lol nw at all anon! you're welcome to drop a wall of text any time :) okay if im being honest i've only watched about half of the dystopia daily videos 😭 i always end up liking them more than i think i will but some of them are kinda mid (sry dan 🙏🏻) so i am not motivated to watch the rest of them lmao. anyway sorry off topic!! yeah i agree with u, everything he said is fair and made total sense. totally get what you mean about it feeling like his old videos where he's just talking about a topic!! dinof i know why u left but i will always remember you 💔
this is kind of a tangent but i do find it kinda funny that what dan had to say on the topic of children was fairly definitive (albeit he ended it with "but who knows what will happen in the future!") meanwhile when phil answered the question of if he wants children he was like "yeah i dont know!" lol. like if that isn't classic dan and phil. dan goes on and on about something and then tacks a little thing at the end so that he still has room to walk whatever he said back, and then phil is like "¯\_(ツ)_/¯ next question" LOL. some things never change

8, 19, 22?
8. Who's your favorite artist (fanon or canon)?
OOH. paul pelletier (artist for early superboy and the ravers) draws one of my favorite kons ever in canon (the curls. the curls!!) and of course i really like dan mora and jorge jiminez and also bilquis evely's art. shoutout also to fatima wajid for my Favorite smot cover, and david talaski for my second-favorite smot cover dsfkjlds
as for fanartists. rubs my little hands together and stares at all my mutuals who i adore. @cowboysorceror has some of the bestest colors on the entire planet. @litta-jpg's lines and shapes make me want to put every pic directly into my mouth. @mysterycitrus draws everyone so pretty i dont even know what to say here??? @byeara has sooo much personality in all of their character designs!!! @ghostiiest also just has such warmth and flavor to his art even as i study him under a microscope. @crimzoncrow has the mythical ability to make even the most cursed shit adorable. this is getting long i will stop here but every single artist mutual pal i am blowing you guys kisses please know this
19. What do you like about being a comics fan?
WELL as a guy who loves inhaling lore, connecting dots, engaging in general pedantry, and sorting through various bits of canon to pick my favorite versions,
(my first ever fandom, by which i mean the first one where i started like engaging in and creating stuff and reading meta or fics or looking at art, etc, was tolkien's legendarium, aka the silmarillion plus histories of middle-earth, if that tells you anything about me.)
22. Any comics you're looking forward to?
sldjflkdjflK NO but mostly because im terrible at keeping up with whats actually ongoing and upcoming. i dont know shit about fuck unless kon is there, at which point i do pay attention (so like, i DID know about smot and kept up with dates there) (and now i'm back to living under a rock). except that i also generally don't like a lot of postflashpoint takes on characters i liked preflashpoint, so i never really look forward to those without a degree of trepidation. (for example. stares at the lex luthor psychic bomb retcon. what the fuck is that.)
um... are there any upcoming cool minis like city boy and spirit world with new characters?? thats mostly the kind of thing i'm enjoying as far as modern comics go!!! so... if there's anything of that sort. that'll be what i'm looking forward to skjdhfjkds but honestly i don't know!!

though in all seriousness, and also at the risk of overanalyzing 2 seconds in a gaming channel, i really do think a big part of dan being all "love isn't real" is just him being Edgy and maintaining his brand, whether consciously or unconsciously, but i do think another part of it is just that a silly little joke obviously cant contain the nuance of his actual thoughts on love
because from a certain angle, i get what he's saying, as someone who is also maybe a bit cynical and nihilist and generally likes to be pretentious and philosophical about things, like maybe he does think that love ultimately boils down to various chemicals in your brain or something along those lines, but, as cynical as that may sound on the surface, it doesn't actually have to be and i dont think it necessarily is for dan
like the whole sam the surfer moment in that pre-hiatus gaming video, something that really struck me was dan talking about how it's all just coincidence (as opposed to the universe connecting phil and sam the surfer lol) and when he said that you can find the sheer improbability of something like that happening amazing and beautiful, like in finding wonder in the randomness of the universe
and i think that's honestly really in line with a lot of his philosophy he's talked about before, like as much as he's cynical and edgy and talks about how existence has no meaning or whatever, he honestly keeps a fairly consistent string of optimism throughout it all, like even going as far back as his old existential crisis videos, he talks about how the meaning of life is what you make of it, which, to me, is actually quite a comforting and hopeful thought
so i wouldnt be surprised if his thoughts on love fall along similar lines, something that sounds bleak on the surface and sounds cynical when smushed into one sentence, but is probably less bleak and less cynical when you dig into it (and i mean, that part in big about how lucky it is to find someone your that compatible with is already a huge indication of some version of appreciation for the beauty of connection, no matter how much one wants to philosophize about what "love" exactly is) (i dont think any of us really know what it is!!!)

Hi hi!! May i please request a romantic genshin and hsr matchup? I prefer to be matched with a guy <3
My pronouns are she/her and Im a girl. im 4'10 (i havent grown since i was 12 so uhm😭😭😭) My MBTI is INTP, 4w5. My friends describe my personality to be cat-like. i bite people i like for example on their arm, cheek, neck etc etc. i like knocking things over, being affectionate, and am sleepy. (this is super ironic because my name is Faline and it means feline/cat-like!!) i like getting into trouble in and out of school (i may or may not be banned from a few places ahaaaa-) i can be stupid and reckless uhmmm.. im definetly not smart. My mood changes very, very quickly. i can go from 0-100 real quick. i am not afraid to say what i want. Im quite loud around the people i like and dont like affection from people im not close with.
My aesthetic is best described as the downtown girl aesthetic. My hair is basicaly like ochako urarakas from MHA soo theres that. i have brown eyes and my skin is a light brown. (we love growing up in an asian household and wanting to be whiter ahaaaa.. :( )
My favourite color is purple. i LOVE purple so much its such a pretty colour i could talk about it forever. i love drawing, photography, baking, watching anime and k-dramas, listenin to music and shopping!! im definetly more of a nighttime person and i love animals. animals over people anyday.
I don’t like school… I’m not a very good student and the best part of school is seeing my friends, for sure. i never pay attention in class and end up walking out the class, zoning out or drawing allover my notes or on the table. i skip classes alot too.
I think that’s all, thank you in advance!
Hi Faline! Thank you for your request! Sorry it took a while. I hope you like your matchups!
In Genshin Impact, I match you with...
Tumblr media
Itto can appreciate your dislike for school. I don’t think he’s been to school a day in his life. Everything he knows has either been taught to him by Granny Oni or he’s learnt by himself.
Likes your catlike behaviour. He thinks it’s sweet, even if you do bite him sometimes. Just be warned, he will bite you back. He knows he has sharp teeth so he’ll never bite hard enough to hurt though.
Itto absolutely would watch k-drama with you! He would get so invested in the story and characters.
The height difference! Itto loves giving you piggybacks if that’s something you’re comfortable with. Especially if you’re at an event like a festival. He’ll lift you up so you can see over the crowd.
He would love eating anything you bake. He’s convinced your baking is the best in all of Teyvat. He’d love to help out sometimes but it’s up to you whether you want the company and the mess…
Please take photos of him. He’s oblivious half the time so you’d get really good candid shots. You might also be able to sell some of them to the news after he gets arrested for the third time in a month.
In Honkai Star Rail, I match you with...
Tumblr media
Dan Heng doesn't know how to feel about your cat-like tendencies. On one hand, he finds them cute and endearing. They’re a part of who you are as a person and he wouldn’t change that for the world.
But when you knock something off his desk for the fourth time that day, he really wonders…
Okay, this guy absolutely sees gentle bites as a form of affection. He’ll return any bites you give him.
He’s so glad you like night time. He’s a night owl and stays up very light almost every night. He likes his own company but it’s night having someone else there with him when he’s reading late at night.
Because of his passion for the archives, Dan Heng will do his best to get you interested in learning. He can appreciate that school doesn’t always teach things in the best way.
But he’d be grateful if you spend some time with him learning about a variety of different topics.

can we get uhhhhhh some hibiya thoughts
yes. yes. yes. i fucking love hibiya. he's LITERALLY A LITTLE GUY when i got into kagepro he was one of my faves actually cuz he was the closest to my age at the time. i was 13… im 22 now! lol thats not weird at all *eye twitch* sry ive been weird abt the passage of time lately. erm wait this isnt my therapy session <- doesnt go to therapy
HIBIYA. LITTLE GUY. my thoughts on him………honestly, i recently reread all the novels and god his intro chapters were HARD to read. all the creepy stuff abt hiyori yknow. i was cringing so hard. i kinda wanna ignore it bc i'd rather do that with the weird bits kagepro has to offer, but not to get rid of it completely. like id take away hibiyas whole thing abt a collection of hiyori pics but still keep the aspect of him that worships her. and how that dynamic would COMPLETELY go away post str.
post str hibiya is VERY different from how he started out. i mean. 10 year old timeloop…. he hasn't grown at all mentally like he has to process all this with his 12 year old brain, but going through all he did he just kinda looks at things rly differently now. not obsessed with hiyori, for one…. and she's also different to him. their relationship changes drastically bc now they both respect each other LOL listen i know im annoying with my codependent relationship headcanons but… eyes hibiya and hiyori
these bitches are 12. spent 10 years watching each other die over and over and literally die for each other. AND THEN THEY GET EACH OTHER BACK? ERM. yeah theyre NOT letting go of each other. its not so much codependency as much as it is awful awful awful separation anxiety. god are there any fics of hibiya and hiyori going back home and having a breakdown at having to separate and go to their own houses (bc in the city they were living together so it doesnt hit that they need to separate until they go home)???
hiyori would still be kinda bitchy and bossy but definitely not horrible to hibiya. and also her attitude hits different when she's also always holding his hand and refusing to go anywhere without him and throwing tantrums when any of the dan members even imply any activity that would require to separate them. and she wouldnt rly be embarrassed abt it i think hiyori would be super open and vocal abt HIBIYA HAS TO BE WITH ME ALL THE TIME !!!!!! and hibiya isnt even flustered hes just like *NODDING NODDING NODDING* bc he's the same with her. girl… SEPARATION ANXIETY HIBIHIYO<3 mekadan so sick in the head <3 they have 78 undiagnosed mental illnesses <3
not to make it abt my future headcanons of psych major hibiya but. new generations man. hibiya is 10000% the one in the dan going like GUYS WHAT HAPPENED TO US WAS SOOOO MESSED UP and everyone's like lol yeah !!!! and he's like DONT LOL ABOUT THIS IM FUCKING SERIOUS??? especially since he's such a fucking outsider to everything like everyone else's been experiencing all these tragedies since they were born and he just kinda. had a normal life before? and like i said NEW GENERATIONS MAN THEYRE PSYCHOANALYSING THEMSELVES AND EVERYONE AROUND THEM…. the dan is so used to this shit that they kinda lmao rock and roll thru it and hibiyas like NO. NO. NO. EVERYONE. THERAPY. NOW!!!!!! it becomes his special interest he starts getting all into psychology and when he comes back to the city for his visits suddenly he's diagnosing everyone with stuff and the dans like *shaking* MAKE THE KID SHUT UP also realises he has separation anxiety with hiyori and works on it. hiyori is surprisingly the one most terrified of letting go. and like i said…. 10 year long time loop being processed in a 12/13 year old brain.. hibiya is SUPER self aware. he makes sure of it
ok and. heh. haruka. THE WHOLE HIBIYA HIYORI AND HARUKA THING COULD BE ITS OWN POST… SO… IM LEAVING IT HERE CUZ THIS IS ALREADY SUPER LONG but im just gonna say. hibiya's IN DENIAL of konoha being gone. he keeps expecting haruka to go away. hibiya THINKS he's super mature, and he is for his age bc of all this shit and his willingness to understand his problems and everyone else's. and everyone else also think he is mature, but this is just something he can't stop being a 12 year old about. his friend is gone! WHY does it have to be gone!?!? especially in an ending where hiyori is back. if she wasnt, then he'd be more accepting of the losses bc there were 2 both konoha and hiyori and like it becomes another whole thing abt letting go and mourning but if she is back…everything is supposed to be perfect!! everyone made it back!! why couldn't konoha? why does it have to be gone? its not fair! he doesnt care this haruka was the body's true owner!! konoha was his friend! it also deserved to live as much as this haruka guy!!! why is HE more important!!!?!?!?!? and he just. he's just insanely immature abt it. and he knows he is but truth is he's just really fucking sad and regretful about konoha being gone. i could also talk about hiyori and harukas feelings abt it but heheh yeah this is super long. erm. hibiyita el chiquito <3 hibiya throwing a tantrum in front of the whole dan abt how it isnt fair and how he wishes haruka would just die. LMAO. he is 12. if anyone has fic commissions open Eye eye
also erm wholesome one before i end it. he makes little miniature dolls of the whole dan<3 he's BAD at typing on his new smartphone but since he lives away hes always texting in the gc<3 he gets super into mobile games<3 amongus fan hibiya asking all his grownup friends with jobs and no time for amongus if anyone can play with him<3 they do bc theyre busy but there will always be time to amongus with friends<3

anyway tho like. now that ive played the 1.2 story and sat on it a bit id say my overall thoughts are def mixed. i enjoyed a lot of it but theres some things that sorta just stick out or dont work and the pacing definitely worked against the story
(just a long rant/ramble upcoming its not coherent at all lol)
one thing that rly rubbed me the wrong way was like. while overall this story rly sold fu xuan as a character to me (i was a huge fan of her presence overall) the dan shu thing just felt? wrong? and like to be clear it wasnt just fu xuan the scenes writing was off in general but her role in being the one countering dan shus points just made her p central to the problem.
but like my issue is that dan shu is previously established as having very understandable reasons behind her resentment of lan that made her compelling as twist villain imo. Yet that resolve was nowhere in the scene in her rebuttal of the xianzhous ways?? when i think that shouldve been The moment of her calling out the xianzhou and actually challenging fu xuan properly. it wouldve been an even better opportunity to expand upon how fu xuan responds to being confronted with the xianzhous flaws and hypocrisy and problems. but somehow yassified dan shu really just. had a generic villain speech and thats it. the callback to their heritage as former followers of abundance was... fine? but like it wasnt that impactful. and fu xuan essentially calling her nothing but a power hungry villain when thats very much Not what dan shus motivation boils down to sucks and now players who didnt read her diary or play/pay attention to her side quest will think of her as just a generic bad guy and not a very tragic complex figure of her own
then the like. underutilization of blade was just like. ok what was the point. it IS funny to reference the tuxedo mask meme and how he skewers his ex yet immediately gangs up with him against yanqing and all but honestly he shouldve gotten to be more feral and present than he did like its just meh. ig its kafka keeping him from messing up elios script but cmon. i want more of him. yanqing also got done so dirty in that scene like. he shouldve gotten some more screentime and focus even if his job was p much to just get bodied. kid just watched jing yuan make deals with criminals no way he isnt affected by it
in general i was p shocked how inexistent the high cloud quintet was from the story. but ig w how rushed the pacing was for dan hengs backstory reveals at times already ig its better left for later (hopefully). i just rly hope this means that the topic get its time to shine properly in the future. esp since im p sure they never even named any of dan fengs crimes outright which is a curious choice.
jing yuan got a rly solid characterization and i definitely enjoyed it!!! even if im a little miffed at how they didnt give dan heng enough breathing room to come to terms with the emotional impact of facing his past and memories thanks to the plot moving forward so fast and he was kinda the one leading that. but he was still great - i liked the scheming side to him and the arguably pretty ruthless way he leveraged dan hengs exile status to force his hand to cooperate a lot. his reasoning makes sense obvi but its still a very brutal and utilitarian approach and i like that energy for his character. his duty is to the luofu above all else even if thats far from all he is about. overall his and dan hengs interactions including dan heng very much emphasizing his desire to be seen as separate from dan feng were a highlight for sure. and jing yuans final showdown moment against phantylia slapped obviously
and then w dan heng im torn between like. really loving all the good stuff we got with the insane cutscenes and the vidyadhara echoes and then wishing that he got just that little bit more for his own realizations and inner conflict. and the part about not properly featuring blade also hurt his story too imo bc the anticlimactic nature of the scene where blade confronts him and forces the transformation and how he n kafka just... leave rly kinda flattens the impact of the reveal moment esp since thats when jing yuan just all but openly says ok time for the plot. but they still did a great job selling DHIL and i think im overall a fan of how they seem to have handled the dan feng vs dan heng thing (and its roughly what i was expecting). dan feng is dead but its never just that simple either. i hope theyll be exploring the exact nature of dan fengs sins and the sedition in the future
im so mad i spoiled myself the tingyun thing bc jfc the neck snap wouldve hit So hard if the reveal itself was also a complete surprise. and its sth that was genuinely well built up like i remember thinking her 1.0 dialogue was kinda sus but wouldve never imagined the actual truth. dont do leaks folks sometimes this happens and it sucks :/ but i have to say phantylia herself was kinda? underwhelming. i liked when she picked up jing yuan like a little bug she wanted to squish and the boss fight was cool but to be fair. this was like 50% bc of how bad the sound mixing was for all of her dialogue that overlapped w in game battle. she rly lacks the necessary menace and imposing energy when u can barely even make out what shes saying 😭 her voice shouldve been as loud and large as her..... Presence. jing yuan carried the boss fight and the final cutscene but man the fade to black rly didnt do the abrupt ending any favors like we just teleport to exalted sanctum and thats it???? maybe jing yuan dies maybe not!!!
overall my prime issue is p much just how like. it feels like they shoved 3-4 mini arcs worth of stuff into one speedrun when all of them deserved more focus and exploration and the pacing rly got rough at times. it wasnt like inazuma level bad but it does get me wondering if hoyos just bad at doing these big conclusions to prior build up and holding the story threads tightly together until the end.
this comes off as super negative helpp but like. by no means did i hate all of it so dont take it the wrong way lmao. its more that there was good stuff there but also wasted potential. for the most part i was having a blast but to be fair that was 40% just playing blade ridiculously underleveled through it all. i only got him to lvl 80 for the boss fight

Continued still.. December 3, 2023
Monday night I went to the Knights & flames game with Shane, he got really great tickets & I got to wear my jersey. It was a nice evening, he was good & I had asked him before not to ask me if Im ok at any point to trigger my emotional mess. Chrystal was gone the week so I was going into okotoks everyday to cover. Tuesday I originally didn't have plans but then Connor asked to hang out after work. Went for Taco tuesday which was nice then back to his place. I ended up staying the night, I felt like he wanted me to stay but idk, I still can't get a read on him. Part of me just thinks we're kind of doing the same thing to each other. I mean I know i'm not really going out of my way to ask him or make plans but his texting just sucks that I can't read if he wants to or not. Like its hard to keep any convo up over text & maybe he's just like that, I understand his work is a lot so keeping that up is tough, but then after we talked about how I might not be doing a roadtrip in January it died off & he didn't reply so whatever. I mean he has asked to hang out so I assume, & he does ask me to stay so maybe? But to what benefit? Idk. I do enjoy his company though. Wednesday I went for dinner with Ed & Mariana a founder of ours from Mexico city. Ill have to write another time on how I had planned to do a road trip down to the states or mexico for a few weeks but I dont think it's going to work out in January so I'll talk about it later for now. Went to Charbar which was really great, nice environment & cool, really great food. Thursday I finally had a night to myself, I was pretty tired from the week & had a lot this weekend so I chilled & gamed for a bit, took it easy. Friday had lunch with Ed, again I might talk about that later but I'm still really blessed to be working with him. Friday night was my ugly christmas sweater games night which I think turned out really well! 9 people including me, jeremiah brought his friend Dan, steven, amanda, shane who came 2 hours late... that was another whole other story of annoyance & triggering for me, Kamber, amber & naythan. It was fun, started around 6/6:30 & everyone stayed till like midnight so it was a lot of fun. Saturday I chilled for day, Marc forgot about our facetime which sucks but whatever. Was supposed to go to anneriekes to decorate the tree but didn't want to be around that environment again which I think I forgot to mention anyways that I went for dinner two weeks ago & it was just a lot to take in & I'm tired of talking about Steve. Anyway I went to amber & naythans instead with nova, nova did so good with Rue, it was honestly so sweet watching nova play again & be so gentle with her, made me so happy. We played catan & had a really great night. Amber also got me the exit game advent calendar that were all in a challenge together, like 4 of us couples minus mine of course & that's super fun so far, proud that I've solved the first two alone with no hints! Anyways, love those people so much. Today, sunday, went to 8:30am service which was so good again. I really love this church I think & want to stay in it. Its so lively & actually makes me want to lean into God when I leave & "sets my heart on fire" again feeling. Went to brunch with Daniel at Diner Deluxe which was great again, he's a good guy. Hes really smart & very... aware. Its a breath of fresh air & its really nice to be able to talk to someone emotionally on the same page especially about relationships & the struggles. Then mom surprised me at being at my house after so we could go for a walk & we had some good conversation. Then went to a movie with steven & amanda which was good so im finally relaxing now winding down for bed. This week will be busy again & the weekend but then it get's quiet which I think Im finally looking forward too.

We’re back, bitches!
You will never escape me.
It’s time, once again, for AFTG Hot Takes, the show where I just say whatever the fuck pops into my head.
Today’s topic: Kevin Day and his romantic interests.
Now, okay, I’ve discussed this a bit in previous posts. I’m not going to go too far in depth for the two ships I’ve talked about already.
Please, for the love of god, these are just my opinions. I’m literally just a teenager on the internet. It’s not that deep, you don’t need to write a ten paragraph essay on why grooming is okay (although tbf that made my night. Still waiting on a reply, bb)
With that out of the way, let’s get into it.
I’ll be honest, I’m not a fan of most Kevin ships. I only like two of them, so we’ll save those for last.
1. First up we’ve got Kevandriel, Kevneil, and Kevandrew (pls dont @ me, i’m not 100% on those names)
I hate it. Despise it. Just so bad. Ew.
I made a whole post on why I have Kevandriel, read it if you want. 
Kevandrew (Kevin/Andrew) just doesn’t make any sense. Their personalities don’t mesh at all. Kevin doesn’t take no for an answer, which is something that is so important for Andrew.
Kevneil (Kevin/Neil) is one I just don’t like because, as we all know, I am a petty bitch. I don’t have a reason for disliking it, really. It just... idk, gives me the ick.
2. Moving on, Kevin and Thea.
I made a post regarding this one too, check it out (or don’t).
I don’t feel like rehashing all of that tho, honestly. (but pls feel free to read the reblogs, some were v good and others just made me cackle. Still looking at you, grooming guy)
3. Now, onto the ones I haven’t discussed. We’ll go with Kevjean first.
So, I mean... it’s not impossible that this actually happened in cannon, however. Just judging by the reactions these two had to each other once Jean was out of the Nest, them sustaining a healthy relationship would be nearly impossible.
Also, I am a diehard Jerjean fan (thanks gus_47, I blame you and the masterpiece that is Hoax for this) so I just... can’t bring myself to picture Jean with anyone else.
4. Kevin and Jeremy!
Listen, I don’t hate this one. I simply adore those fun lil fics where Kev is tripping over himself cause he’s in love with Jeremy (looking at you, quicksand). They’re so fun! But, Jerjean owns my soul (again, thank you Hoax) so it’s gonna have to be a no from me.
5. Kevin and Matt
I’ll be real with you, I didn’t know this existed until yesterday, and I am shocked.
I haven’t stopped to think about it much, and I probably won’t, because Dan. I just- that is her husband, excuse you.
6. Kevallison (Kevin/Allison)
I don’t mind this one, honestly. I sorta get it, tbf. 
HOWEVER.
Diehard Renison fan. Enough said.
And now, at last, we come to the two Kevin ships that I can (and do!!) suport whole-heartedly.
7. Kevaaron !! (Kevin/Aaron)
Listen, I just love their personalities. I love the idea of these two assholes healing together. Simply adore.
Before you say it (you know who you are, and yes I’m still salty ab this) I. Don’t. Ship. It. Because. I. Want. Andrew. And. Kevin. Together. ffs, people. What kind of person do you think I am? 
8. Kevin and... (drumroll please)
Himself!
I am 100% in support of aroace Kevin living his best life with his friends and family.  
I mean, it’s lovely. Spectacular. 10/10, adore it.
Okay okay I’m done (for now)
Let me know what other hot takes you’d like to hear!
And as always, if you disagree with anything I’ve said, fight me! I mean that, i love a bit of lighthearted discourse. (unless your opinions are truly heinous, in which case I will verbally punch you in the trachea.)
Blah blah hitman, blah blah death threats

Some stoned live-blogging because it’s Saturday and this is trauma Only Friends Day
Yo telling Sand she’s used to people only wanting her body or money - SOUND LIKE ANYONE?
Okay, Mew I have been so understanding of all the shit you’ve pulled. I get it, you want revenge and I am all for that, but it’s went too long and too far now. Top doesn’t deserve this.
Nick deserves to be happy and do what he wants, but Dan deserves to know that there’s someone else in the picture.
Oh gosh I love Sand’s mum. The fact that she sees Ray and her first instinct is SING FOR ME - I mean, I’d be the same.
OMG YOU CANT JUST THROW WATERY EYED FIRST KANAPHAN ON THE SCREEN WITHOUT GIVING ME WARNING. I ALMOST SCREAMED.
IS HE GOING TO TELL HIS DAD WHO HE IS?!
OH RAY BABY I CANT HANDLE YOUR FUCKING FACE I JUST WANT TO SMOOSH IT SO BAD ITS SO SQUISHY
NO KHAO YOU CAN NOT QUIVER YOUR LIP LIKE THAT AND EXPECT ME TO JUST SURVIVE?!
OMG THATS A REAL BRUISE FROM THE LOCKERS ISNT IT?!
I kinda feel a little bad for Mew because he’s so easy to manipulate. He thinks he can control situations but he really can’t. He’s the kid that thinks he’s the leader and everyone just plays along because they don’t wanna hurt his feelings.
Ugh Boeing I hate you so much but I still want to sit on your face. At least it’ll shut you up.
Oh, okay, Mew might actually have had a handle on the situation with Boeing?
WAIT HOW AM I ONLY ON PART TWO?!
The way Nick speaks to Ton when they get to the bar, like he still doesn’t understand that Ton actually only wants him 😭
Now let’s go run Atom over with a truck!! No? Pfft. Fine.
Ooh Nicky Baby, are we hatching a plan? Are we getting revenge on Atom? FUCK HIM UP BABY BOY!
OMG WHY DID WE NOT GET A LIVE SOUG REACTION OF BOSTON WHEN NICK KISSED ATOM? (Also Nick is totally using this to get a little revenge on Boston and I am fucking LIVING FOR IT)
Atom better tell everyone the truth now and Cheum better apologise to Boston.
OH GOSH SOMEONE GIVE ME A FIRSTKHAOTUNG SERIES WITH A KID. FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS SACRED GIVE THEM A CHILD
Gosh I love Top. Get some digs in before you reconcile.
SAND IS WEARING A NO DOUBT SHIRT
THIS IS POETIC
If Mew’s moms know what Top did they are super chill about it. My parents would be trying to kill my exes for raising their voice to me never mind cheating XD
Listen Force is another one that destroys me when he cries. There’s something about it.
Gosh is it really that fast getting a passport in Thailand?! It took me months in the U.K.!!
RAY JUST CALLED SAND HIS BOYFRIEND FOR THE FIRST TIME AND I AM SOBBING WITH EMOTION
OMG SO RAY SINGING IN THE STORE JUST KILLED ME
REMINDED ME OF THE TIME MY WEE BROTHER COULD STILL HIT HIGH NOTES AND WALKED THOUGH A STORE SINGING THE SNOWMAN
Fucking hell Ray is the cutest wee bean
But did he have to word it like “oh the ex that dumped you for Top” so casually XD Sand’s face XD
OKAY ATOM OWN UP TO CHEUM THAT YOU LIED YOU LITTLE PRICK
good boy
I still don’t like Cheum.
Nicky, if I knew you I’d wanna take pictures of your beautiful face every day too
Oh gosh I know it’s because I’m invested but I want Boston and Nick to be official boyfriends. I’m sorry Dan I bet you’re a great guy but you were just a side quest
UHM CAN SOMEONE FIND ME A BOYFRIEND TO BUY ME GUITARS? LIKE, IS THAT A STRAT? Even if it’s a strat copy, that’s still an expensive gift.
I wonder if behind the scenes Khaotung was like THAT IS NOT HOW YOU TUNE A GUITAR
Listen, I know people are gonna be mad that Sand looked a bit :/ when Ray said to Boeing about them being boyfriends, but I know how awkward that situation is when an ex shows up and you kinda don’t wanna say you’re with someone else but not because of any reason other than you’re uncomfortable. That make sense? Regardless, FUCK YOU BOEING.
oh Ray, that face. He wants to fuck up Boeing and I support it.
Boeing isn’t happy if he isn’t fucking up someone’s relationship, is he?
Sand is wearing a Pink Floyd shirt and all I can think of is The Wall and now I’m like SYMBOLISM.
Sand, baby. I know it’s hard to say no and set boundaries in this situation, I have been there, I have made the mistakes and I understand but it is making me so uncomfortable to watch. Everywhere I feel like this show is calling me out on my youth and this week is no different. I keep cringing because Sand won’t just SAY IT STRAIGHT but I know what that’s like when you don’t want to say yes or no.
Okay like he tried to set a boundary, he said they could be friends and nothing else but he isn’t exactly pushing Boe away and *screams into the void*
FOR FUCK SAKE RAY ARE YOU REALLY DETERMINED TO HAVE THIS THREESOME?
I know it’s a way to try and force Sand to pick him but Boeing is gonna be trying to fuck all of you. And hide any plants because he’ll be after them too.
OH NO BOE IN THE WATER LOOKS TOO GOOD
WAIT IS THIS GOING TO BE A THREESOME?! THEYRE ALL GONNA GET NEKKID?!
aw they aren’t getting nekkid
Where is this pool thing going
THEY DID NOT JUST END THERE
okay I know there won’t be a threesome, but Ooft.
Next week looks like it might kill me
OH AYE NEXT WEEK IS THE FINAL EPISODE AND ITS ALSO MY BIRTHDAY SO IF I DONT GET A HAPPY ENDING THEN IM GONNA HAVE TO YELL AT P’JOJO
