I usually don’t make posts like this bc sharing hobbies and interests on the internet makes me very very anxious for whatever reason but I really really wanna share this issue of the Dragon magazine I found at the thrift store yesterday!!!!!!!!

25th anniversary edition of the official D&D magazine !!!!! It is issue 284 and it came out in June 2001. Unfortunately it did not come with the advertised bonus CD rom when I bought it though :[

I’m gonna use this post to show off some of the stuff that’s in it that I really liked or found interestingggg :]

First off we have a full spread add for baulders gate 2, which is kinda funny considering the third one didn’t come out that long ago. I want to eat this ye oldie early 2000ds generic fantasy font I bet it tastes like burnt shortbread.

A little step by step on how the artist made the cover which I find like. Infinitely charming. Especially since this cover itself is so gorgeous. I hope Todd Lockwood is doing good today.

A full page add for an online anime fantasy rpg called Nexus the kingdom of the winds. OUGGGGEEEEE this art style,,,,,,, it takes me back to places it takes me back to like that one vampire anime and clanad and YouTube anime top tens. Fuck graphic design we should start putting sparkles and radial gradients on everything again.

an add for a series of sound effect cds for your games which I want so so bad I need to know what’s on these.

Two little sections where it seems people can submit photos and stories about themselves or their game members to be published. The Dm of the month one is genuinely heartwarming and cute. The thought of Steve seeing that he won made me smile. Also “Nubile dwarf chicks” and “chaotic secretive” is a great example of how early 2000nds out of pocket this issue can be sometimes. You can fucking smell the energy off the second image.

An extremely funny review of a previous dragon issue.

an add for Gen con 2001 and a schedule of upcoming conventions. If anyone went to these I would genuinely love to hear about them I love convention history a whole lot especially from around this time

A page in, apparently a series, about what ttrpg players value in a game written by Gary Gygax!!! If anyone has any previous or the final issues of this study please do share I really really wanna see them. Also the three genders: males, females, and newbies

Two stat blocks for some half dragon characters

A Draconic to English translation table that I wish I had as a preteen because I would have eaten it the fuck up. Also I cut it off but the last sentence on the bottom right is “please don’t disembowel the dwarf” which apparently is “martiver thric gixustratt tundar”

Add for a brand of miniatures and in what stores to find them. I wonder how many of these places are still open

An add for WOTZ game stores with the tagline “it’s where you play the game” and advertising “Hella Bandwith” and “scantily clad BABES.” I find it unreasonably funny that they are three pictures of the same exact woman, scantily clad babe, one (1), one singular babe.

Spell and magical item themed crossword

A full on campaign setting of the real city of London. I didn’t take pictures of all of it but it has a history section, locations, npcs, adventure hooks, and what even looks like a little blank dungeon layout of a mansion . I feel like putting real places as campaign settings has always been like, a thing, but I don’t see it too often. Its charming I like it.

A stat block and gorgeous illustration for a lesser dragon companion. The gradient circle in the back is my favorite argggg I wanna draw like this sometimes

A section on how to assemble your own monster models. Admittedly I know close to nothing about model making so this was an extremely fun read for me

A bunch of PC portraits of half dragons that are so so cool. You see a lot of stuff about people getting really specific designs about different hybrids like oh a dwarf tyfling looks different than an elf tyfling n that sort of stuff in the modern day but you don’t really see it canonized at all. So it’s really interesting to see that concept in an officially published D&D thing, even if it’s just a magazine. I really like the dwarf one a lot.

Possibly my favorite thing ever is this cartoon that reads like a fucking wizard tumblr shitpost. Like down to a fucking tea this is some shit the evil wizard blog would say and it makes me so so so happyyyyyyyyy. It’s the cadence that amazes me they got the tumblr wizard cadence exactly right. Im posting this shit on its own without shame bc I need people to see it. Pour me something whimsical and arcane bar wench.

A absolutely chefs kiss add for a ????? Pc????? Pc game????? Pc accessory??? I honestly can’t tell anyway enjoy your free ps2 polygonal hotted woman ass

And finally the thing that made me fuckin gasp out loud when I saw it, an add for the original year of our lord 2001 shitty D&D movie with special features and online sweepstakes to win a trip to Prague. Holy shit. God I love this game.

anyway that’s it, I plan to frame this thing and put it up somewhere. Ty for reading all my nerd shit. :,]

Episode #700

Manger Things Season 32 - Episode 16 | March 21, 2021

Well, well, well. If it isn’t Episode 700. A couple years ago I thought to myself “I bet if I started doing bad reviews of Simpsons episodes in a weird fucked up order that I could cover episode 700 in realish time, and won’t that be cool? That could be the coolest fucking thing in the world, if you think about it.

Well, I did it. Do I feel special? NO! Does this episode feel special? NO! In a weird way this entire blog lead up to this, and it wasn’t terribly great. Not that I was expecting much from a season 32 episode. But good lord, they sure played it safe with this. This is one of them flashback episodes where you get pissed off that 6 years ago *actually* does mean 6 years ago in real time, so you see a young Homer family being in ubers, owning flatscreen TVs, using YouTube to deliver a baby, etc (SPOILER ALERT, Homer gives birth) Homer gets kicked out of the house for drinking at his office Christmas party. Everyone’s hair is kinda different, which is how you can tell. Homer stays at Ned’s where they are expecting the birth of Todd. Maude demands Homer get kicked out. From there, Homer goes into the little room above the garage, which the show has never shown before. Moe is the only one that knows about it because he’s been renting it out to Irish immigrants. Funny? How many jokes has the Simpsons told about renting out unconventional living spaces anyway? Like... 4?? 5??? I mean, Jeez! This all leads to Homer heroically delivering Maude Flanders’ baby, which Marge inexplicably witnesses and takes Homer back. And that’s the episode! It takes place at Christmas even though it’s currently March, and now we get two pieces of Simpsons trivia about who delivered Todd and what’s up in that space above the Garage? The answer to the second one is “Nothing, really.”, so isn’t that cool? So the episode kinda sucked. The Simpsons kinda sucks. This write-up kinda sucks. This blog kinda sucks. I kinda suck. What else is fucking new? Well, I guess that formally ends the stated goal of this blog. Scheduled updates covering episodes of the Simpsons on a daily basis will cease. Will I use the blog to review new episodes as they come out? Yeah, maybe. Will I review other episodes of other non-simpsons shows? I guess I COULD. Will I let this fade away in favor of a new blog about a different topic? Like, I don’t know, maybe Family Guy or the Spike TV animated block or Dragonball Z or... MAIL BAG

well look at that another tree house of horror and you didn't do my good idea. in fact, you wrote too much about the b-sodes. who needs that? oh well. I'll find a way to make you wince.

SHUT UP! You’re getting in the way of my cool announcement!

This blog is pretty snazzy but waht if you did a blog where you talked about other kinds of TV. Say...Adult Swim?

Oh, you mean... THIS BLOG??

Two Ideas for what you can do when you run out of Simpsons episodes on the blog: [NUMBER ONE] Pimp My B-sode! B-sodes are back baby and we are breaking all the rules! Basically you go back to episodes you didnt do a b-sode or had a particularly bad b-sode and do them. BUT, you remove the rule that they have to be contemporary with the episode and heck break the rule it has to be a cartoon. Make it any tv show: live action, anime, PORNO! Just make sure to censor out the goodies ;)

[NUMBER TWO] And this one more of a hiatus filler idea but it's called MY SPORTS SCHOOL, I take it from your write-ups that you don't paticularly care for "the game" and are kind of a flabby nerd. That's fine. #MeToo BUT, basically you just go through a list of sports and then take your family out the the park and try to play one of them for 3-4 minutes then review the experience. If you need equipment just check thrift stores or local ads, and I got a pair of balls you can use right here. OHH!

I don’t believe in the $MeToo movement and I don’t believe in MOVEMENT! Get the hell out of here and get out of town!

fuck! no! is this really the end of the blog! NO! fuck you! surely you missed an episode or two? what about the movie? what about virtual springfield. you can't just leave you a-hole! fuck you!

Oh yeah. I guess I never did formally review the movie. Okay, I guess I’ll review the movie. STAY TUNED FOR A REVIEW OF THE MOVIE. But until then. PEACE OUT :bartsmokingablunt:

Honestly that’s me, also kinda good night/morning again.

You should be so proud that you were able to finish your school work, that is such an accomplishment! Also cat 👀🥺, but I hope that your kitten didn’t cause too much of a mess! Imagine if we made tallies though, that would be hilarious (also adding yes)

Box stuff

1. Yes, you have described them so well! Reggie is organized but at the same time very chaotic which frustrates Alex so much. (Even more so due to the fact that Luke is just chaotic not organized at all, I mean have you seen his writing) Also agreed, Bobby is middle and I love the drum idea that’s amazing!

2. The baby is an honorary member of the band is amazing, I love that like so much.

3. That is precisely what happens, also because Reggie was going to give it to Alex for food however he needed to put it somewhere and completely forgot

Board games and Jam stuff

1. I love the little detail that you added of matching pajamas because that’s exactly how their game nights go a majority of the time. Yes to all of these, Bobby is the one who flipped a table once during Pictionary and since then the game has been banned. (Also points if Alex did the same during Cluedo because Reggie just kept on saying that he was suspicious) ‘Reggie we are not playing about us, it’s a mystery game with clues’

(Also bring me up suspicious, I remember reading some thing about where the boys play among us and that’s all I can think about. Because they do and the boys just keep calling each other out, i’m not going on a tangent right now but I may in the future 😂)

I haven’t played Articulate before however yes they do! (Also for some reason the fact that the box has a circle which makes me think of the game of life, for I don’t know why reasons, so I’m going to offer that up)

You’re absolutely right they definitely do go to thrift shops and just find random cool stuff. (Alex joins them later on)

I love the detail that you added that Luke on Julie’s team won’t win which is mostly because he won’t stop staring at her throughout the entire game. Reggie is definitely the master, except for in scramble because Luke shines in that game. After people started taking sides and stuff monopoly was banned very quickly, you’re so right.

2. I really wish I could explain why I thought of this but legitimately this all became a thing from me looking at some random thing of strawberry jam. That is so clever and that is the ultimate pun for Reggie. (Since you mentioned different versionsc all I can think about is this song actually starting out with Reggie talking about how much he loves etc. jam and how all the rest of the boys have problems)

Number stuff

2. Yes, (eventually) in the end everyone has a couples jumper as well. Also The fact that Luke stretches Alex‘s hoodie is hilarious, especially because he was doing it to make Julie jealous basically. Also adding on, Willie and Alex are cuddling under a blanket during this whole thing.

3. Yes, Luke just wants to make Julie happy in life and that’s everything to be honest.

4. You know those shows you have where you put it on a watch later and you’re like I’m genuinely interested in this however procrastination is my best friend and suddenly it’s like three years later, well Merlin may be that show for me. I support that AU idea so much, we need that in our lives. (Honestly whenever I think of two halves of a whole I think of yin and yang and I can’t explain why). And I love how this made you think of a fanfic, because I’ve had similar thoughts as well during our conversations.

(Wait yes, Alex is definitely Merlin he has that oh I’m wise so you need to listen to me kind of style. Also definitely takes Luke, Arthur, under his wing to make sure that he is not dumb/dies)

5. I just want more Alex and Julie to be honest, I don’t feel as thought we got to see a lot of that in season one. Thank you, yes my thoughts exactly. (Honestly I like to think that he came out to her as well however at the same time due to the fact that people in the 90s weren’t as accepting I feel like he just doesn’t know how she’s going to react and is kind of saving that for a later date🥺)

6. Exactly, so Bobby has no way that they could technically be out there (how Julie kind of draw strength from the fact that her mom is watching over her which is why she believes that she got the flower during that exact moment) also things would be much different if they had been able to send some kind of sign down to him. Even if it’s something little just to show that they are still there for him and even death couldn’t come between them.

8. I think I now know how you feel when I mentioned him writing ‘we were going to be legends’ on the back of that photo. Because ouch, and you are so right it’s not even funny. Nothing is the same without the boys because they all have little personality things that make simple tasks even better. Luke is able to do the Rubiks cube because he fidgets a lot with his hands, Alex is able to do the puzzles because he has really great concentration and it helps him feel more focused, also same for Reggie he’s able to do crosswords and sudokus because he’s able to focus on the more also he’s really great with numbers. (Also I totally didn’t say that Bobby doesn’t understand sudokus, because I don’t understand them)

That last sentence, you are correct but whoa that is painful.

10. Gotta love our random tangents

Yes, and the boys know that Bobby went on the logflume however they just don’t talk about it. Reggie has so many scrapbooks it’s not even funny legitimately once he realizes that he can take 1000 pictures and they can be stored in one place he kind of explodes (doesn’t stop him from making scrapbook though)

Alex just loves having people be happy, (also I didn’t think about an AU situation in which he does run into someone who has a skateboard )

I cannot describe that ride either however I know exactly what you’re talking about and Alex being impatient to go on rides is legitimately everyone who has ever been in a theme park. Reggie doesn’t talk to Luke for a good amount of time because Luke is the one who said that the ride wouldn’t be so bad, ‘I mean what’s the worst that can happen’ (also I did not say that just so I can reply, famous last words)

(Same energy as ‘street dogs haven’t killed us yet’)

Toffee nut- I’m glad you like the theory because I legitimately have no explanation for why Bobby is allergic to gluten but it just fits. Alex loves baking gluten-free stuff because not only is he reassured that Bobby has some thing that he can eat but in general it’s always nice to find new recipes.

Also random thought but every once in a while the boys will go somewhere go to bakeries and if they have gluten-free options they will try whatever they can.

Once again Alex just cannot say no to Luke and Reggie and they definitely eat the gluten-free food.

11. I love that for us 😂, even if there’s no possible way that I can happen it somehow did. (Also Reggie has a picture with the queen and I have no clue if there is even a way of having photoshop back then however Reggie is crazy enough to pull it off so they just think that it’s Photoshop)

13. Fairytale princess Luke is everything we need in our life. (This is also a band photo that is stored somewhere, because of course Luke wouldn’t do this alone)

14. His fists are like clenched tightly however he’s trying to pretend like he isn’t angry. I love that line with everything I have, that needs to be in season 2. Also the fact that someone who is very tall is trying to pretend to be someone who isn’t as tall is very humorous to me and I cannot explain why.

16. I love how determined Luke and Reggie are in this little scenario that you have painted, which they definitely are. One time Bobby is out and it’s just Alex with them two and he has no clue what to do because they can’t be in the kitchen however he cannot resist their puppy dog eyes.

17. Wait I love this (also Reggie finds baby photos of Willie that are actually baby Willie and shows them to Alex) (no one knows how but to be honest I could definitely see Reggie going to Caleb just ask for baby photos)

Also Willie finds it adorable that Alex is pretending to be embarrassed and definitely teases him about it. Bonus points if there’s a picture of Little Alex with a hotdog shirt and Willie is like ‘I knew there was another reason why I called you hot dog’

19. Water fights all the time, also during winter they have snowball fights all the time as well. (Also they always have water balloons on hand and it is very common for someone to throw it at another person‘s back and or down their shirt)

Yes, I love this theme as well, (despite being a very competitive person) Luke is just not competitive)

20. Same lol, honestly all Alex quotes and just Alex is everything and part of the reason why I love him so much.

(Also sidenote the fact that Owen Joyner performs these lines so beautifully. Maybe this is just me geeking out but the delivery and the pacing and the changing of voices from either high pitch to low pitch or whatever the line needs is just fantastic. Well if you can tell someone has been in any kind of music/acting field it’s that last sentence right there)

Alex is just happy that his friends are bonding with the guy that he likes. Especially because they are all the type of person that if their partner and or one of the boys doesn’t like each other then there is no way that they will be together. Also yes, Alex has a love hate relationship with Willie and Reggie bonding over puns.

Luke is very well practiced at egging houses, anyone who has ever made fun of the boys can confirm, and he is very torn between I want Flynn to like me but this is Julie’s house. Also yes, in the end he does egg her house.

Hear me out, she would’ve won mother of the year for being supportive towards Alex however I don’t feel like she would’ve for Luke because it didn’t really feel like she was supportive of the band which is basically Luke’s entire being. But aside from that yes. (But it got us unsaid Emily so I mean is that really a flaw 😂)

21. Yes, adding onto what you said honestly one thing that I keep thinking about which is the only thing he’s never told Luke is that he actually saw Emily and Mitch one time after Luke ran away.

Honestly for some reason I keep saying to myself he got arrested. Just because for being a person who basically freaked out at breaking into a museum it would be hilarious that he’s actually been in trouble with cops before, but anyways Emily and Mitch are his emergency contact so they have to pick him up and then that’s where they talk about Luke and everything. (I really wish I can explain this, also the fact that I’ve said this like 3 times already is concerning 😂😂)

But going back to what you said, he struggles with that so much because he loves Luke so much but at the same time due to the fact that Alex has such a bad relationship with his parents he doesn’t want Luke to end up on that note.

Mitch having a conversation with Ray is everything I needed and I did not think I would. (Imagine if Kenny Ortega had a secret Tumblr though 😂😂)

24. I want to see Flynn’s reaction to flying solo now it’s what we do deserve. Yes, it’s like you read my mind because that is exactly what happened, I feel like we can kind of see it in all eyes on me, with her face kind of being a tiny bit upset with Julie talking to the boys but she isn’t able to see what’s going on. (Even though the boys have only had one interaction with her they are very devastated, all they want is to be her friend as well)

Love how you meant Carrie, also why am I now thinking about Flynn joining dirty candy just to spite Julie, (I need to stop) also yess this is how the reaction song comes. Possibly maybe even a sad song because Flynn is talking about how much she loves Julie but she’s been feeling so disconnected from her lately. Yes, Jadah Maris is so talent.

Honestly I only know that video because one of my friends was singing the lyrics and I was very concerned 😂. Yes, you should be proud, maybe it’s because I cannot remember titles for the life of me but that is a very accomplishing thing.

25. Ahhh, dad Alex is everything. Also due to the fact that he has quick wit for a bit it would just be him and Carrie joking around with each other. Also I feel like the show does kind of show that although Trevor is supportive he is really bad at discipline 😂. (Honest Reggie wouldn’t be able to able to tell her off at all because he is afraid of somehow becoming like his parents, even though the boys keep reassuring him that will never happen)

26. Honestly the boys are kind of just holding a grudge at this point but it’s Trevor making the hats that has them go into a big group hug and burst into tears also the actual forgiving.

Also going along with the fact that Willie wears a beanie, he also wears a bandanna. I’m glad that’s stuck in your head to be honest.

28. Yes, what if the final product of Reggie raging at Bobby is Now or Never (however this has been re-make and has switch genres by Luke) (I have reasoning)

32. I love just thinking about some fans randomly bumping into sunset Curve. Legitimately they bring stickers and fanart everywhere because Alex is definitely the type of person to go to a grocery store at 3 AM just to look for a particular ingredient (for an example)

Honestly I had no reasoning for Alex being a hedgehog except for the fact that hedgehogs are cute so I most definitely agree and you are entirely correct

Yes, and once Alex finishes the puzzle it’s framed just because not only can he not take it apart but he’s afraid of it being ruined and it is so amazing

34. Yes, precisely and there’s only one photo of Luke that works and it’s him glaring and crossing his arms like an upset puppy (still stuck)

35. (Honestly Ray just adopts all of them, Luke, Reggie,Alex, Flynn, Willie all of them) I legitimately said this for just someone however instead of collecting stray cats Ray takes in stray children. Also, yes just best father of the year goes to Ray for the past 15 years. That is a very good theory because this entire time I’ve just been thinking of Reggie taking pictures.

Also the fact that technically Willie can’t show up on camera I didn’t think about but for the purpose of him looking absolutely amazing in these photo shoots I’m going to ignore that.

37. Yes, and Alex does have to make rules because otherwise he won’t have any clothes. The only reason Willie is allowed to get away with it is because he looks fantastic in the hoodie and Alex just has heart eyes.

39. Yes, she always talks out loud to herself and Trevor just silently encourages her and then he replies this one time and she is absolutely shocked but because the idea so so brilliant she immediately jumps on it.

40. Seeing Alex dance with Luke to dirty dancing with this particular dance in mind is what I need to see in season 2. Also yes, Reggie as well, honestly it just becomes a band thing because

Lol that is so relatable, also 10 out of 10 songs to be stuck in your head.

(Sorry for like the four notifications you got from me liking this post, because of course I just accidentally kept double tapping this and then letting out a gasp because it unliked the post)

Also the fact that this started from jigsaws and now we have three categories is everything

Good morning/night/afternoon/whatever time you’re reading this!

Ok so before I start I realised when I was trying to sleep that I left out a few things. I wanted to include a photo of a couples jumper and also the link to my Mitch headcanons, which I think I mentioned and then just didn’t include.

The only pics coming up were Christmas ones but this is the style I was in envisaging! Two heads holes, comfy, not just a random hoodie like Luke and Reggie try and use!

So here’s the link lol

BOX STUFF

1. Ajskfnskfo I love this like Luke’s writing is terrible can you imagine the state of his bedroom??

Actually, mentioning his bedroom, it was probably a mess and still is because Emily and Mitch didn’t tidy it when he went away in case he came back and then didn’t want to change anything after he died

3. YES definitely Alex being the designated chef of the group and Reggie bringing him recipes, except that’s the one he just totally forgets about, I love it

BOARD GAMES AND JAM STUFF

1. I love that so much omg they all have one game they just can’t play 😂 Bobby did that in Pictionary because he was doing his drawing and thought he’d made it really obvious, but the others were purposely guessing wrong and it pissed him off. And yes lmao Alex trying to explain to Reggie that it wasn’t him it was a random character for gods sake Reggie can you just read the damn rules?!

Omg PLEASE go on that tangent 😂😂

Oh yes totally they play game of life! It’s the only one Alex is really really bad at

Yessss Alex joining them is everything!

Omg yeah Luke is just watching Julie the whole time and she’s trying to help so they can win and he just doesn’t concentrate so they lose. Julie gets mad at him for it but he thinks it’s worth it

Lmao I can just imagine them playing monopoly - Alex is in charge of money and stuff and when Luke lands on one of Reggie’s spaces he can’t pay. Alex wants to just let him off (because he’s doing terribly and can’t win the game anyway) but Reggie is competitive and wants him to pay and Julie is backing him up because she likes playing by the rules. It’s two vs two, ends up in a big argument, and like you say it’s immediately banned 😂

2. Absjdldlajkd yes like the song actually started out about that, they figured out the tune was really catchy and then turned it into an entire song

NUMBER STUFF

2. Yes lol Alex and Willie just snuggled under the blanket like “guys there are easier ways to cuddle y’know” meanwhile Reggie got uncomfortable and tried to wriggle out the hoodie and they all just heard a ripping sound from the hoodie and Alex looked like he would have killed them if they weren’t already dead

4. YES even if you haven’t seen the show yet that’s literally perfect. Alex being one of the only ones who can get away with telling Prince Luke how dumb he is like Merlin and Arthur and keeping him safe. But somehow Luke still ends up dying from eating a bad hotdog

And I totally see where you get yin and yang from tbh!

5. Yes I can totally see that as well! I’ve read quite a few fics where he comes out to her and honestly it’s so cute every time because his reaction to her being immediately accepting of him is amazing. (Also I love it when she accepts him by immediately coming out to him as well - usually it’s bi Julie which I do love but I really strongly headcanon asexual Julie (best when she’s both tbh) and I realise that’s off-topic but yeah)

6. Yes omg now I kind of want to write that AU too 😂 Bobby somehow getting a sign from his friends to tell him that they’re okay and they’re still there. Like they could still come back to Julie, but in the dark room they get a glimpse of Bobby being sad and get to help him, therefore he doesn’t make so many mistakes

8. Absabskksksbf yeah omg 🥺 they all have their strengths and Bobby can’t build his own up to match them after they’re gone. And yes lol tbh I have literally no clue about sudokus either so I relate to not being able to do them, and props to Reggie for being amazing at them 😂

10. Awww yes Reggie just getting super excited when he finds out how much technology has progressed and how many pics he can take 🥺 also I can’t remember what they’re called but Reggie gets one of those portable printer things that’s kind of like a Polaroid but you can print them off your phone? Idk if I described that well but Julie gets him one and he loves it. Also at theme parks he always buys the photos the ride automatically takes

Oh my god oh my god oh my god yes! I love that so much omgggg your mind! It’s the one time Bobby doesn’t manage to pull him out of the way in time and it’s literally the best thing he could ever have done

Lmaooo yes that’s perfect Luke convincing them to go on it is definitely street dog energy. Reggie just refuses to even look at him because he’s that childish lmao

Ooooh yes and whenever they go to bakeries either Alex or Reggie will ask for the recipes of stuff they like (usually Reggie because no one can say no to him, but also Alex because he can be persuasive)

Yes lol eventually Bobby has to have a special like box or container to put his gluten-free stuff in otherwise Luke and Reggie will eat it all.

11. Yes definitely! Idk if they had photoshop either but they’re all convinced that’s what it is but he’s just really innocently like “no I swear I did” and it’s normally Luke who rolls his eyes like “ok sure buddy”

13. I swear if I was better at art I’d draw Cowboy Sunset Curve and Fairytale Princess Sunset Curve but alas no 😂 maybe I’ll just do it anyway lol

14. No I totally get that, it’s the sort of thing that’s funny for no reason lmaooo

16. Yes I love that like he is just moments away from opening the door and letting them back in but then he shakes his head like “no, focus” and the cycle keeps repeating. Also I love how in the scenario they keep moving but all they’re doing apart from that is puppy-dog eyes and that’s enough to nearly break Alex

17. YES. Willie has no idea where he got the photos from but doesn’t really question it either. And I can sooo see him asking Caleb for baby photos - like, he wants a Caleb scrapbook because like it or not he’s been a major part of their afterlives since he wants to remember him! So Caleb is confronting them after he stops possessing Nick and is doing this grand speech and when he’s done Reggie just raises his hand and goes “sorry but do you have any baby photos of you?” and Caleb just doesn’t question it and hands them over the next time they see each other. (Reggie also has Nick’s baby photos. Reggie has literally everyone’s baby photos.)

Ajsbskldl I love that! Little Alex in a hotdog shirt and Willie pretending to have some sort of psychic power like “yeah I totally knew about that it’s the other reason I call you hotdog!”

(BABY REGGIE IN A HOTDOG COSTUME.)

19. Omg Sunset Curve/Julie and the Phantoms snowball fights yessss and the water balloons are perfect - Luke’s preferred method is to sneak up behind someone and slam it on the top of their head so they’re totally drenched

20. Yes exactly!!! I definitely think Owen is one of the best actors in the show and one of the best in anything I’ve seen recently, he just plays Alex so perfectly and everything you said is 100% right I couldn’t have put it better myself

Yes that’s exactly their relationship! Like as sad as he would have been Alex would have dropped Willie if the guys hated him (and let’s be honest, seeing as Willie accidentally played a big part in the thing with Caleb they definitely could have hated him)

Yeah and Luke isn’t really sure if Julie being so mad at him for egging her house is worth it but he had fun so he goes with it

Oh yeah that makes so much more sense you’re totally right, but yeah it got us Unsaid Emily so in the end it was a good thing lmao

21. Ooooh yes! They share everything but that’s the one thing he has never told him

Lmaoooo yes but then what would he have been arrested for?? I feel like some sort of misunderstanding - like someone dropped something, he tried to be helpful and pick it up but then they accused him of theft and called the cops on him. Or he actually did do something illegal, knowing it was illegal. Aww yes Emily and Mitch picking him up and finally getting to see him and find out about Luke again 🥺

And yes exactly took the words right out of my mouth

If Kenny had a secret Tumblr and saw all this I would die laughing. Especially if he somehow included some of it in the show that would be the funniest thing. Sadly it’s very unlikely 😂😭

24. Yesss I agree we can totally see it then! I feel like it’s the really predictable scenario for her to be left out but I also think it would work really well

Oooooh Flynn joining Dirty Candi could be really interesting! I feel like it would only be for one song and then she’d feel bad but I’d actually love to see that.

I can totally see it being a sad song and also I think it would just be her and Julie there, the boys are nowhere to be seen and it’d give them a chance to make up before the boys are let in on it

25. Yes definitely! Because Carrie has such quick wit too their banter would be brilliant. Yeah you’re definitely right about Trevor, he’d do anything for her except discipline her well, and omg Reggie 🥺🥺 you’re so right, he’d be terrified, so he wouldn’t get involved at all when she’s being told off by Alex

26. I feel like maybe that was Bobby’s way of settling arguments back in the nineties (“Luke’s mad at me, guess I’d better make him a hat”) which is why it finally convinces them to forgive him

Omg bandana Willie might be even better than beanie Willie... maybe it’s just any time Willie has headwear, because I love Willie wearing his helmet too lol

28. Oh yes I love that! Originally the lyrics were “pack up your yarn Bobby, now or never” and Luke was like hmmm I like that

32. Omg that’s literally perfect I love that so much. Alex in his pyjamas (and a hoodie) staring at flour trying to remember which kind he needed to buy at 3 o’clock in the morning and the shop assistant is like omg you’re Alex Mercer then hands him a sticker

Yes definitely!!! He frames all his favourite puzzles and has them hanging up around the studio, but that’s his ultimate favourite and he makes sure to clean the frame of dust twice a week

35. Omfg yes that’s brilliant. Ray has two biological kids but actually he has four ghosts and his daughters best friend too (and maybe some other we don’t see, like Carlos’s best friend??) the comparison to stray cats is amazing - they just come in for food and maybe a hug then they’ll be on their way again.

Yeah same lmao I realised as I was writing that they wouldn’t show up but that’s a tiny detail and for this we can disregard it completely 😂😂 (or maybe he does show up sometimes, and even when he doesn’t there’s a golden orb there like in Ray’s photos and it actually looks really good somehow)

37. I live for heart eyes Alex tbh. And yes the other rules include: you must wash it if you get it dirty, if I find any rips I will literally kill you (because Luke once ripped one of his nicest hoodies), and for the love of god don’t lose it

39. Yes I feel like they’d be such a Father-Daughter-Dream-Team you know?? Like they’re really close and they know each other really well and the little things like that are the best part of their relationship!

40. Ahajdnsls yes I need it!

Lol the notifications were fine I literally do that so often bc I forget that’s how tumblr works 😂

Yes I was literally going to mention how we have categories now!!! I honestly find this so funny like how did we get all this from a jigsaw 😂😂😂

#love this for us 😂#williexmercer #asks #emily answers

Headcanon Background

These are my headcanons following the world of “Do You Understand?”

This is just extra world building and character stuff that I didn’t want bogging down the main story or have established in there for future reference. Some of these headcanons are inspired by fics I’ve read btw. I might add onto this in the future.

WARNING: Minor Spoilers ahead - I do suggest reading this after the story is complete.

-this mostly covers Connor, Nines and Hank because they’re the ones I most often deal with. If anyone asks for the others or I think of some for them I might add em.

MasterList

World:

This is Post Pacifist route and everyone lives (best ending)

The actual events of the game take much longer, the revolution doesn’t end until towards the end of December to January.

Some events of the game went a bit differently since the time is stretched and because mister Cage is dumb. Like Markus can’t do the weird look deviation thing for funsies. And Alice is human (even if not shown). And there were more revolutionary events that aren’t discussed but happened.

Androids are also much more open about their inhumaness, they often act more human like around humans. However, while alone, androids tend to talk via their internal networks most often (some choose to outwardly speak only too, it’s just preference) and refer to themselves in less human manners.

Okay ngl I’m not gonna get into how to fix this mess of a world Cage made, I’m going to idealize some things in this fic (like I made a landlord nice and not much ACAB- or really any cop stuff), this is merely for fic purposes. I ain’t gonna play moral battlefield with Cage’s dumbass for what started as a vent fic. Just know I don’t agree with a lot of the decisions Cage made for this game’s plot.

Connor RK800:

The RK800 model was made with less articulations in his face so as to cut corners given he was meant to just be a trial. -He needs to consciously run facial expression programs and they can be quite awkward.

Same vein, Connor’s constant calibration, while also a stim, lack of tear ducts, and blinking glitch are also due to Cyberlife cutting corners

Connor Has ADHD because I do so he does too

He also stims by pacing or running, but he tends to do this in absolute private.

He likes to change his hair color quite often to differentiate himself from Nines (He would change his eye color if he could), he does have Bryan’s curly hair but he still consistently styles it to the game style.

His wardrobe style consists of button ups (black, white and floral), turtlenecks, a dark grey blazer, knee length black coat, black jeans, and dress shoes (often Cyberlife ones since they’re just slip ons essentially)

He has killed/hunted way more deviants (and humans) than in game Connor. When he isn’t with Hank, Cyberlife ordered him to simply hunt down and dispose of any deviants he could find. (they wanted results they just played nice with the law for show)

While he wasn't cruel and let all deviants he met with Hank go (except Rupert), any deviants he found while "off duty" did not receive the same mercies (some would even be found mangled beyond recognition). Hank really amplified the humanity in him but only when present. It was also easier to ignore orders when he had a scapegoat.

He also remembers all prior iterations of himself; while the corruption in memory is still there, it was used to condition him in “right” from “wrong”.

He spent a lot more time with Amanda especially during early trials as well so his loyalty to her is very deep and she is like a mother figure to him.

This is Connor model -54. Past 3 models deactivation: Fell with Daniel while protecting Emma (Successful mission); Success w/ Carlos’ android, but he still self destructed and got shot in the interrogation room when trying to stop them; Stratford tower kitchen but the deviant crushes his thirium pump before running leaving him unable to be saved.

He did go up to the roof and saw how Simon was left behind, but he thought about how Hank would be displeased if he killed this android in front of him, given prior results, so he left back to the kitchen last second. Simon knows he left him alone but he doesn't know why.

*pats his head* this boy can hold so much unprocessed trauma

Also this Connor is not an “uwu soft boy”, he is a bastard man. A nice bastard man, but a bastard man none the less. He will sell you to Satan for a single corn chip (/j). He is severely touch-starved though.

He is very bad at expressing and showing his true emotions in a way that makes sense since he’s spent the last, however many, iterations putting himself in a tomb of denial, fear and anger in order to survive. He often expresses nothing or in a manner that he feels will benefit him (arguably manipulative but he is in constant survival mode still). (unless he gets too overwhelmed by his own emotions like hella overwhelmed)

He wasn’t necessarily “deviant” when a machine, his social relations and general programming just saw the act of being more emotionally expressive as giving him a higher chance of not being killed by his handlers. Basically “if they think I’m like a cute roomba, they won’t kill me as easily”. He still experienced frustration, fear and other emotions he ignored, but he was under command (with code and external pressures), his own AI just got fucky and advanced without anyone realizing it (from trauma).

The books in his apartment are random books hes bought from a thrift store, but there are some mystery books and a sea creature encyclopedia in the mix. - The manta ray plush is a gift from Hank, the Whale is a gift from Nines.

Connor (Nines) RK900:

He looks and sounds exactly like Connor. Height, build, face, voice and everything is the exact same except he has blue eyes.

Arguably Nines’ system name is still registered as “Connor” but he just never felt the need to change it since he just goes by Nines anyways.

He has more articulations in his face, even more than the average android, and he tends to take advantage of this. He does feel bad sometimes after being a walking reminder that Connor meant nothing to Cyberlife, but they both tend to not want to talk about that and just ignore it. He doesn’t know how deep Connor’s jealousy goes though.

Given he activated deviant, he really isn’t sure what being a machine is like or having to follow orders. This sometimes is a disadvantage as he doesn’t get sometimes why androids, like Connor, would lean so heavily onto their old programming.

This also means, he’s very expressive and open about his emotions. They were free so why would he try hiding what he felt ? (This can sometimes get him in trouble)

Where Connor changes his hair, Nines wears very loud and vibrant clothing, if he finds a shirt that screams ugly he will wear it. His usual get up is asymmetrical colored button ups, whatever pants he grabs that morning, dress shoes (don’t worry they’re ugly too) and his favorite highlighter neon yellow and orange hooded jacket. He also tends to change into more comfy wear when at his room in New Jericho.

He is partnered with Gavin Reed, but those two really aren’t friends and never will be. Nines can handle him just fine at work but he would never invite that man anywhere near him after it. He is friends with most of the DPD. People find him really friendly and enjoy talking to him.

He also owns a cat named Clem, not much is known about her because she’s really shy.

While he still has access to the base zen garden program, the program is not connected to anything and never had the Amanda AI implemented yet. Since he was never rolled off the press properly and Amanda was set to change connections to the new model set when Connor was done, it never happened.

He was released from Cyberlife storage due to an agreement between them and Markus that all remaining prototypes would be released and androids would have access to the tower in order to produce biocomponents and parts (Cyberlife still owns the building arguably and has access to any info/security there though). He’s honestly not that close to the Jericho leadership despite everything. He talks to them every once in a while but he doesn’t actively talk to them.

Arguably yes he is one of many RK900s, but for sake of story, he is the -84 model of the series and the only one we will see.

Hank Anderson:

After the revolution, he offers Connor a place to stay out of worry. He won’t admit it, but he had a gut feeling con man wasn’t doing well (he was right)

He does work on his drinking problem, but he still has a lot of issues and sometimes relapses. He’s slowly getting better.

He’s like a dad figure to Connor but he isn’t his dad. He gives guidance, but he also gets that Connor is arguably a full grown adult even if he is emotionally like 1 years old. He kinda is a dad to Nines too, but this isn’t as focused on in the story. While he is a bit less grumpy (aggressive) enter Connor, he still a bit of a sour boot most of the time. He just is sober while doing it now. He started wearing a ponytail after the revolution to keep his hair out of his face. He lets Connor trim it every once in a while, but he can’t bring himself to go back to the short style. This Hank adopted Cole as a baby after finding him at a crime scene. He never got married. (He jokes about having an ex-wife out of a sense of compulsory heteronormativity and because it’s funny to him) He used to treat Gavin like a son of sorts before Cole’s death, but practically dropped him afterwards which is why Gavin is doubly hostile towards him. The house he lives in now is not the same house he lived in when Cole was alive. He also got rid of a lot of Cole’s stuff when moving (The toys and clothes he kept are in a box in the garage).

Star Twinkle Precure Episodes 34-36

What is this thing that has been going on with kid’s shows and mafia recently, huh?

As I slowly get back into my feet with this blog, here I am for another round of Star Twinkle Precure!

It feels like I don't do one of these in ages, and boy I feel rusty. But I gotta be honest, I thought my StarPre burnout had gone away, but actually it didn't? I know that saying this, at this point of the year, makes me sound like those haters who suddenly start to hate the current season when the new season is near to be announced, but I'm really not feeling Star Twinkle anymore. And it's not that the show is bad, when I'm actually watching it I usually have fun even if it's not an episode I like too much, but I just don't feel excited to get back to it every week, you know? I think I feel better in tackling like 3 or 4 episodes all at once rather than doing it weekly for some reason. But anyway, I think this is enough, I had my moment to vent out, now we can go to the episodes.

The first episode of this batch, Episode 34, is probably the better out of the three. I believe this is the first episode focused on Elena that was solely focused on her and where she was the major active force of the episode, which I like, we need more of this. This was a very beautiful episode that touched on communication and understanding issues in a very respectful, easy to understand, and heartwarming way.

Not gonna lie, I was skeptical when the pendants didn't work to translate the alien's language (once again), but as the episode progressed I could understand why and I quite liked the reasoning for that. The alien uses non-verbal language so there's nothing to be "translated" so the pendants don't work, it's such a good detail. And it's this different form of communication that makes the episode more interesting because the girls have to take other things into consideration when trying to talk with the alien, and I think that this also plays well on the conflict of this episode. They were so focused on other things while trying to pass their message on the best way possible, that they didn't think that showing a flower that wasn't in their "natural habitat" and that was also being commercialized to an alien that is a plant could be a problem.

And I think that it works beautifully with the message of the episode that communication isn't always clear and that slip-up happens so you gotta be considerate of the other person, you gotta always try to know more about them so both of you can convey your feelings in the best way possible and if there's any noise on the communication this can eventually be talked through and both parts can come to an understanding together. Now, I do think there are some holes in their logic, but the message is still good and I like to see a kids' show putting that out there especially nowadays.

So yeah, this episode was great. If I have something bad to talk about is that the fight was horrendous. I think that it would've been more effective if, at the end, Elena and the alien had hugged since this was an issue through-out the episode and it felt like if they were building up for that moment to happen, but the ending we got was just as sweets so I don't think it was a bad decision.

Sadly my praises will pretty much end there because I didn't enjoy the next two episodes as much.

35 to me was just kinda dumb and I could care less about it. Like, Himenojo was good and all but it wasn't enough to keep me interested. And, at least to me, having Star go super saiyan and "discover" a new power on this episode was not as good or rewarding as they intended it to be.

Episode 36 was a bit interesting, but I didn't enjoy it as much because there were sometimes that I felt like the show was calling me dumb. But I don't know if I should complain about it, you know? Like, as an adult I know that the worlds isn't so black and white, and I know that stealing is wrong but you can't simply just condemn a person for doing it without knowing their reason, so when this conflict is brought to the show and they're so keen on telling Yuni "DON'T STEAL" to me seems dumb because on my adult mindset it looks like they're not taking in consideration that you can't just ask someone from the mafia to give you something back because you can end up killed. But this is a kid's show so they kinda can get away with doing that. But even though I completely understand this, I can't deny that I was bothered by it while I was watching.

But despite having this point that threw me off I still liked some things that this episode did, like introducing a movie character into the main story so the movie doesn't seem as isolated and unnecessary. The cop lady... or cop dog... or cop dog lady was lots of fun and I really liked her despite not agreeing with her visions in some points. The moment when the girls dressed up as the mafia was also kinda funny, though I don't like that the other 4 girls weren't dressed for the occasion as well as Yuni and Fuwa. And the part of the episode that to me was the most funny is that Yuni did all of that just to try to retrieve a mood ring when she could've easily just picked Lala's ship, go to the US, and get into a thrift store where I'm sure she could find one without that much trouble.

And I believe this is all I have to say about Star Twinkle. I'm not as excited about the Halloween episode, but since Yuni will apparently be getting her Twinkle Imagination on the episode next to it I'm gonna try my best to bring this week's episode not so far from the day it airs. In any case, thank you all and I'll see you on a next time.

ISSA STORYTIME

Ok I’m bored so ima tell y’all a wild ass story that happened to me first semester of my college experience; the story of when I got laced by a wild thot with some CRACK. Let’s get into the tea gorls

So I went to art school for communications design. I dont go there no more because it was hella racist, but a different story for a different day. The campus I went to was way up north, in Utica. Never heard of it? Didn’t think you would. Just imagine if the worst neighborhood in Detroit was an entire town with like no people and cows. I don’t know about y’all but at my school we had this thing called late night where we get snacks and shit in the cafeteria after dinner. I was one of 6 black boys in my entire school so it was always dry. So this particular late night I had got a pink wig and started fucking around and giving these crackers some life to entertain myself. My extra ass being who I was did stand-up for the entire night. Since it was early in the school year tho I aint really have no solid friends, so the people who I was gonna go smoke with finished their food and left me like some fucking snakes. When I was done I was deep in my feelings lol because bitch.....you gon spark up.....without me???

I was like “y’know what idgaf, I don’t need you niggas” because I’m likable, right? I could talk to anyone I wanted and make friends. That’s what my dumb ass thought even though I knew damn well these all were some back woods ass white people from Cousin Fucker Nowhere. So I’m standing in front of the dorms like “ok, if I was a white person who loved giving free weed to negroes, what would I look like?” and as though Satan himself heard me, this girl wearing dem Jerusalem B.Cs (you know what I’m talmbout) and a bright jacket that had to be from the thrift store because it smelled like pickled dick and horse radish extract walked past. I was like DING DING DING, gotcha Becky!! So I was like “omg hi sis, I always see you in class and I think your style is so cool blah blah” and all that fake shit. Naturally Linda felt gassed af and immediately offered to let me smoke with her. Yeah, yah boi got it like that.

But mama ain’t raise no fool and I seent Get Out so I don’t go nowhere with a white person without at least one other poc with me. So this couple I’m good friends with now was walking out of the dorms, we just gon call them Peanut & Jelly. They were quiet and both shy people so they didnt hang out much yet. They were also native and latino which was good enough for me so my loud ass was like “Aye, y’all smoke??” it’s 2017 so of course they smoke and I invite them to come smoke some of Margret's weed. Consider it reparations. Since they ain’t have no friends they were happy to come join us. Smh y’all if you see this I’m so sorry I got y’all into this lmao. Anyway Trisha was like “Super duper the more the merrier, let’s go :))” with her wild ass. But I remembered I still had some of my own weed left so we ran to my room and got it, but I ain’t have no bag to carry it in. So Ingrid said “Oh, I have a bag you can put it in” and pulled out this ashy ass ziploc bag. RED FLAG NUMBER ONE. But my clueless ass thought she just had some plaster or some shit in there before since we went to an art school. Smdh.

Shortly before we depart Peanut and I are getting everything together and making sure there’s no smell. While this is happening Jelly watches Rebecca spread some “dust” on her gums. RED FLAG NUMBER TWO. This nigga thought it was candy dust or something. No one in this equation is particularly bright. But anywhore, we started making moves to this parking lot/roof that we usually hung out at. I was hoping my friends fake asses would be there so I could ditch Jill’s ass. Peanut & Jelly I ain’t mind because they were cool once you got them to talk. I could tell they weren’t feelin Harriet tho lol and tbh neither was I but would your ass turn down a completely free spark up??? Didn’t think so. We get to the roof finally and I start checking my jacket to find I forgot my mini bong in my room. So Elizabeth is like “Oooh awesome we can smoke out of my pipe!” and I’m like lol you bougie ass bitch just call it a bowl. But my fake ass just said “Litty gorl, load that shit up!” thats exactly what I get. She starts loading her “pipe” up and I notice both my weed and hers lookin a lil ashy. AND THATS RED FLAG NUMBER THREE

It’s like 11 at night tho and we only had street lights so I didn’t wanna call Susan out and end up lookin a fool if it was nothing. So I just let her do her thing and pull out my lighter so we can make it do what it do ya feel? So we smokin and I’m having a pretty good time. I feel proud of myself and shit for scamming little Mary Ellen and getting a full spark up after my niggas rolled out on me. I’m like “haha bitch you did that and you high as fuck”. Me being the funny nigga I am in my head, I make myself laugh. Then I realize for someone who smokes pretty regularly and only had two hits, I was already shmizzed for some reason. I look over at Peanut & Jelly and both them niggas lookin like

“Already??? Huh, that’s weird”, young nigga Kam thought to himself. But once again it was free weed so I shut my Nancy Drew ass up and let it go. Debra passes the “pipe” to me and I hit it harder this time because I ain’t pay for it so ima get mines. Because I hit it so hard I kinda taste it and bitch, that shit tasted like Mary J. Bliges leather boots and plastic. So I’m like “yo Amanda, what’s good with your bowl the weed taste weird?” And it ain’t like weed has a particularly good taste but I know it damn sure don’t taste like that. Emily proceeds to say “I don’t think anything’s wrong with the weed, might be the other stuff tho” As soon as she said that shady shit Peanut and I’s heads snapped to look at her like “Bitch....what other stuff??”

Jelly at this point is checked the fuck out, like this nigga is walking through space or some shit. That might just be him tho cause that nigga always acts weird when he high smh. That ain’t the point tho. This raggedy Ann ass hoe starts giggling and laughing like someone said something fuckin funny. I’m sitting there confused and high as shit still got the fucking pink wig on, Peanut got her ass riled up and with good reason because we both know we just asked ole girl a question. So Peanut says one more gain “Did you put some shit in the fucking weed?”. By now I think Amber realizes the joke is nay and she’s close to getting stomped out. Here comes the climax of the story y’all. This bitch gon roll her eyes like we being extra and say “lol it’s fine, we just smoked out of my crack pipe and I haven’t cleaned it yet” When I tell you the entire world went silent, I heard SZA wheezing into her microphone miles away. My ass, Peanut ass, and even Jelly incapacitated ass was all like

“...wut?”

Jelly just started laughing like he just heard the funniest thing ever in his whole life. Peanut was staring at Tina like she was preparing her alibi for the police when they find that lil girl’s body. And me, you ask? I was just thinkin bout my girl Whitney. Like sis, is this how it started for you? I was looking at Rachel all hurt. Et tu Becky? All a nigga wanted was some weed and now my ass sitting on a roof high off crack. Suddenly time returns to normal and the only thing my faded ass can muster is a “Pardon me???” Helen continues to chuckle like she Tiffany Haddish up in this bitch and tells us that she smokes crack and weed out of that bowl sometimes, and that we had placed the collective weed in her coke bag. Jelly stupid ass still in the corner laughing to keep from crying because I knew that baby voiced nigga was scared. I’m so astounded at this point that I can’t even drag this wild ass bitch. Peanut however, is not me. Lort I never seen anyone but my momma yolk somebody up so fast! She smooth slid across that asphalt like

Grabbed Ellie, and said “BITCH HAVE YOU LOST YOUR FUCKING MIND?? ARE YOU SERIOUS??” and started shaking that bitch like she was tryna give her shaken baby syndrome. Jelly managed to get himself together enough to try and keep his girl from going to jail. What was I doing? Well I knew I had a choice, I could help Peanut throw Taylor off the roof, or I could help Jelly keep our good sis from catchin a charge. So I chose the smartest option. MY ASS STARTED TO HIT FOOT.

That shit wasn’t none of my business no more!! Bitch the link up is over! The deck is DONE. I could already hear my momma belt whoopin my crack head ass in my mind, no thank you ma’am! My black ass was done for the night. As I’m running back towards campus I hear footsteps behind me. I turn around to find Jelly running behind me, dragging Peanut along by the hand. Chloe however, is nowhere to be found. I ain’t stop running tho. Was it fear, was it anger, was it the adrenaline pushing me to run? Nah I was on crack so it was prolly that lol. We run until we’re two blocks away from campus and I’m finally too tired to run, which surprised me because I always assumed crackheads were just like the enegizer bunny. So we’re catching our breath and I’m tryna keep from falling over because I feel hella whoozy, but I manage to ask “What happened to Bobby?” Peanut proceeds to tell me she took one good fist, and dropped Katy like a bad habit. I was proud of sis too because she’s twig thin and I thought she was meek af. We start walking back to the dorms and all 3 of us are just silent. Ain’t nobody got shit to say bitch we on crack. Peanut and I lived 2 doors down from each other so they go in her room and I go in mine after we say our good nights. I go in my room and my roommate is there with his boyfriend. Immediately my roommate is like “lol you’re high af” and my overly trusting ass gon tell him “This girl laced the weed with crack”. This cracker ass bitch gon look at me and say “oh really.....are you ok?” like I just got into a small argument. Like nigga....I GOT LACED WITH CRACK DO I LOOK OK???

So I sit down and start watching videos on my laptop to try and distract myself from my anxiety because a nigga was SHOOKT to the core. My roommate and his boyfriend were just watching me like I was a good ass episode of something. I don’t blame ‘em tho, I looked wild af. I was twitching, teetering, and sweating like shit even though it was late September in upstate New York. Now this fake ass bitch gon take a snapchat video of my crackhead ass trippin and put it on his story for everyone to see. Needless to say after that day ain’t nobody fuck with Molly ever again. One good thing did come out of it tho, Peanut, Jelly, and I became real tight after that. And what became of Becky you ask? She made sure to steer clear of all 3 of us and my friends lol because they threatened to cut that hoe. Moral of the story children? Don’t trust white people.

A List of My Fave Youtubers

At this point, Youtube has become a whole different platform with very specific content. I spend hours on Youtube watching vlogs, challenges, unboxings etc.. There Youtubers are friends I wish I had, basically. It’s a one sided friendship.

1. Shane Dawson

Shane is on top of my list because I just finished his book ‘It Gets Worse’ and his sense of humour, his book, his personality his entire a being is a ray of sunshine and he is an inspiration. 10/10 would recommend. Also started watching his vids only after he started dating Ryland who is my babe and is at the end of this list because this list is no particular order.

Also would highly recommend Trying Dumb Life Hacks cuz that’s what got me hooked. Shane eating weird shit and trying to burn his house down. Here’s a whole playlist.

2. Alex Wassabi

Another Youtuber I watch because of their significant other. Honestly didn’t know him before he started dating LaurDiy who is also on this list. Honestly, they’re couple goals. I watch Lauren’s Vlog and Alex’s Vlog and it’s like I was their at their anniversary in Hawaii. I might be a little too invested in them... I follow their dogs on Instagram. But they’re so positive and Alex is so funny and focused and kind :’) If you ain’t smiling, you’re doing it wrong guise!!

3. LaurDiy

So I’ve ben subscribed to LaurDiy for years and she’s always been my fave from the Asian girl squad (which is Remi, Mia, Tiffany + honorary Alisha sometimes). I love all these girls and have had phases with all but Lauren is so cute and her DIYs honestly make sense (not like I’m actually recreating any tbh).I love her DIY challenge series, BRING IT BACK @LAURDIY Honestly her music videos and stuff is lame but I’m glad she’s living her best life. I think the couple vlogs are hella fun! :D

4. Meghan Rienks

OMG TIME FOR MY LITERAL QUEEN MEGHAANN. She replied to me on Twitter once. She said and I quote “Hahhahahhahah fuck you” y’know what they say if you can make your girl laugh and she want’s to fuck me wink wink Anyway Meghan’s been my fave since idk she was in highschool? I was in highschool? We the same age. She’s actually a month older than me. Yes, I know her birthday. No, that’s not weird. Anyway, after highschool she went to college, joined a sorority, got bullied? (idk why I put the ? I know she did. We got through it though), dropped out of college, did this one show on AwesomenessTV with Lauren Elizabeth which was pretty funny. got a house, a car, did a TV show (Freakish on Hulu), is in a movie with Ali from PLL and is basically is a real housewife at this point. I have been with her through her whole journey and sent her countless asks on Tumblr @meghanrosette thanks for the acknowledgement

Any Meghan is super funny. She is a “beauty blogger” but like let’s be real everyones watching cuz shes funny and relatable and also gorgeous. Like she’s not useful for actual tips I guess but A+ entertainment. Like honestly one time she went to the VS fashion show and took a pic with Gigi and passed as a model? Unreal She still does fashion/ beauty videos. She bakes. She also does this podcast called Don’t Blame Me and Grace Helbig, my other queen was on the last episode so the fangirl in me is ded rn.

5. Clevver Style

Honestly, this is my goal. I don’t think this is where the channel was supposed to go. But bitches love trash content. Every video they do is so informative on trends but also so funny. Lily and Joslyn are like the two best friends I never had. Or did but we haven’t talked since that one fight in London...

Anyway, Beauty Break is my fave show. Idk what else they do except for Lunchy Break which I thought was a joke but now it’s a full blown show? They should do more of Dirty Laundry tbh.

Meghan is on a lot of episodes of Beauty Break but I love them equally and individually without any bias. A+ Would Recommend

6. Grace Helbig

I’ve honestly been into Grace since Daily Grace which seems like a decade ago but I don’t think Youtube is that old. Grace, Mamrie and Hanna Hart are the literal Holy Trinity of Youtube. Grace is the funniest imo. I am obsessed with her Fashion reviews for Red Carpets. They are so mean without being mean spirited at all and that’s comedy goals. Out of everyone on this list, no one makes me happier than Grace because she is the funniest. Also she’s not just a youtuber check Dirty30 Movie and Camp Takota! And Not Too Deep!

7. 7. JennxPenn

Jenn’s book “Really Professional Internet Person” is a fucking gem and honestly has so much good advice! Jenn’s always done edgy content but she is supeeerrr funny. She does mostly like viral challenges, she’s even created a few I think. She once let a Postmates guy come into her house and do her makeup?? I think shes hella cool and relatable. I love her style (?) There’s not really much to it but I feel it. I like Jenn. You go Jenn.

8. Mr. Kate

OMG SHE IS A FUCKING GENIUS. So you know how you start a YouTube video and their voice is annoying so you’re like fuck it I can’t and you go watch something else. Now I’m really sorry Mr. Kate I love you, but her voice is kinda squeaky?? Sorry!! But stick with her she is AMAZING. She has done EVERYONE’S ROOM! Wait I forgot to mention in my excitement. Mr. Kate is an interior decorator? + artist. She is a fucking genius! Like all your fave Youtubers including but not limited to Superwoman’s room and office, Liza Koshy, MyLifeAsEva, and Meghan, Joslyn, Grace’s office that she shares with Mamrie and Hanna. And literally every other popular Youtuber. She has a few different shows on her channel. All relating to room makeovers. I personally love Omg! We’re Coming Over: Digitally Famous where she does YouTubers houses. Mostly cuz I’m a creep but also because I’m into home decor. Other fun series on her channel are Breaking Beige and Office Goals on the Road!

Also special mention to her husband, Joey. He’s in all of the videos and does all the more manly heavy work. They’re couple goals. Cuuuuteeee.

9. The Sorry Girls

The Sorry Girls are Kelsey and Becky. They do some amazing DIYs. And this is not your average spray paint glue gun DIY. These girls are hardcore. But it’s honestly empowering how they just casually use a fucking saw and build things. Their videos are very original and very aesthetically pleasing. I personally love their Dollar Store DIYs because it’s stuff we can actually find here in India and are still pretty doable. My fave is that they each make a DIY and kinda compete? at whose better. I just like competitions I guess. I also love their Thrift Flip series!

These girls have honestly inspired me to use a sewing machine and a saw so thanks guys!

10. Ryland Adams

MY BABE. What I love most about Ryland is his editing style. It’s freaking hilarious. But I loved him before he got his own channel. He was on Clevver News. He did a few different shows on there but I don’t think he’s there anymore? But I could be wrong I don’t know everything but I haven’t seen him in a while. Anyway love the life he’s living with Shane from the top of this list. He’s so cute and funny I wanna be friends with them.

These are a Few of my Favorite Things

Quality is a necessity for me. Products and pieces I buy need to have lasting value and work well. After reading the book “The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up” by Marie Kondo, I was so enthralled by Marie’s love and affection towards the things she owned. She gives her items the care that one would give to a small child, doing things like “giving them a home” and “saying goodnight to them at the end of the night.” It seems a bit silly, crazy almost, to treat inanimate objects as having thoughts or feelings, but she claims this respect for the things you own has an impact on your life.

While I don't say thank you to my hairbrush after brushing my hair, I do see what she’s saying in terms of loving the things you buy. Having a love for your perfume or jeans really affects my mood and behavior. I find myself a lot calmer when I am wearing my perfume, and more confident when my eyeliner looks good. I appreciate the things I buy, and so I invest my money into things that will make me happy. I love items with history, a story to tell. I feel like I’m continuing on their journey by using them.

Here are ten items I swear by, and kinda love.

Mason Pearson Hairbrush

Like I said, I love a piece with history, but I also love a piece that works, obviously. I have a tendency to want the best of everything I have. I always look up “best white t shirt” or “best eyeliner”. And that is how I found this brush. Founded by Englishman Mason Pearson way back in 1885, it is considered the best hairbrush of all time. The brush is, kind of beautiful? Coming in a box that with artwork that looks like it came from the 1950′s, the hairbrush features fine boar bristles set on a pneumatic rubber cushion. The wooden handle has the name detailed in gold. The set also comes with a little cleaner brush to get out all your nasty hair from the brush when you’re done. The hairbrush just does stuff to my hair that no dollar store brush has ever done. The boar bristles gently collect each strand of my hair, and disperse the oils that hang out at my roots to my dried out ends. A steep price for a brush, but I don't see this item leaving my cosmetic case for years and years to come.

Chanel No. 5

Infamous is the only word I can use to describe this perfume. Even if you didn't know you know about it, you always kinda knew about it. Chanel No. 5 is seen as the most classic fragrance in the world. Marilyn Monroe even teased reporters claiming it was all she wore to bed. After creating somewhat of an empire and name for herself, Coco Chanel wanted a scent to capture her reinvention of the modern woman in the 20′s. In an effort to create a “clean” fragrance that lasted on the skin, Chanel had perfumer Ernest Beaux create a variety of perfumes that would fit her request. She smelled a collection of fragrances Beaux created numbered 1 to 5, and 20 to 24. She picked number five, hence the name. The scent, concocted from jasmine, rose, sandalwood, and vanilla, was marketed as the scent of a woman. The scent of power that women at the time couldn't have. The scent has been changed over the years, much to the public’s dislike. The newer version smells a lot more like baby powder and less graceful. If you go online, you can find vintage bottles of the pure parfum, more potent and vibrant than the Eau De Parfum that we see so often today. Again, a steep price to pay for a perfume. I got mine online, completely sealed, for about $150. Not a big bottle either. But even after knocking it over, taking it between New York and Florida tons of times as well as overseas, I still have over half a bottle left after two years. The beautiful golden liquid comes in a glass bottle and lid, if you get your hands on a vintage one. The bottle is meant to be turned over, soaking the glass cap. You then dab the cap on your wrists, neck, and wherever else you’d like. I think the bottle, over one with a spritzer, is what makes the perfume last so long. That, and you need so little of the perfume because of its potency. Some say the perfume smells like an old lady, but I think to each their own. When I wear the perfume, I smell strength, confidence, and some vanilla too. I agree it does smell mature, but the comfort I get when wearing this perfume does more for me than anything else. It is the warmth of a blanket, the lightness of a linen shirt, and the depth of a classic movie. I feel Coco Chanel with me when I wear this perfume, and I feel like a woman.

Cartier Tank Watch

The luxury brand Cartier, nowadays, seems to be most recognized with their Love collection, popularized by Kylie Jenner. And while I love the Love Collection (feeling punny today, sorry) it comes off as a little...overused? There’s just something not special about it if everyone who has the money to drop on it gets one. Completely disregard this if I ever come into money because I will for sure buy a love bracelet. But for now, saying it’s too trendy makes me feel a little better about not having one, but I digress. The tank watch, on the other hand, is a timeless piece (oh my god, so punny I am SO SORRY) created in 1917 by Cartier after the American troops arrived in France and helped to save the European Nations. Successful American and British armies relied on tanks, a novelty at that time on battlefields. The watch, is inspired by British Tanks with it’s flat and angular case. The sleek design and leather strap on this small watch caught the eyes of some of the most famous and powerful women including Jackie Kennedy, Lady Di, and even Michelle Obama. The watch is a small piece of jewelry that adds statement when worn. I am not a watch person, but this watch does it for me. It exudes sophistication, class, and time!

Levi’s 501 Jeans

The ever-so recognizable stitching on the the back pocket of these jeans has been around for generations. Your parents definitely had a pair. They were a staple for the 90′s mom jeans and have come back in style with the high waisted shorts and straight leg jean revolution. Though, did they ever really go away? Dating back to 1890, the Levi’s 501 XX jeans are the original 5 pocket jeans that we all wear today. I’d always known about Levi’s jeans (who doesn't?) but I always saw them as a mom brand or dad with white sneakers brand. Not until middle school did I start seeing the famous back pockets on high waisted cut off shorts that girls wore with crop tops or over swimsuits. I still wasn't convinced. It took me until more recently, when I followed French fashion bloggers to notice everyone had a pair of these Levi’s 501 jeans, and they looked good, really good. Not only did they cinch and lift where they were supposed too, but they looked good with just about anything. I've seen them dressed up with lace bodysuits and blazers, or dressed down with a t shirt tucked in. They give of a carefree, casual look while at the same time, projecting quality, functionality, and of course, history. It takes a while to find a good pair of 501′s in the cut and size you’re looking for. They are at just about every thrift store around, but I’ve never seen a pair that resembles the one’s I see on blogs. It took me a great deal or searching to finally find a light blue pair in a size 27 (I’m a size 25 but vintage sizes are two sizes larger than your normal number) on depop. They are a straight leg jeans, kind of in between skinny jeans and boyfriend jeans. I immediately cut them off a couple inches because I’m short and obsessed with cropped jeans. And I can attest to the magic of these jeans (Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants anyone?). They are super high waisted, creating a silhouette all of us desire. They give you a Kim K butt by lifting your cheeks to the Gods. And the loose leg, which I thought I would hate, creates a relaxed look while still shaping your legs. These jeans are forever, I swear.

Black Cigarette Pants

These black cropped pants have been a staple for me for a while. I've had pairs from just about every brand, most recently being LOFT. Cigarette pants stood for the revolutionary wave of women being able to wear pants in the 1950′s. Inspired by men’s slacks, they were undoubtedly an expression of freedom that was beginning to come for women at the time. Cigarette pants are high-waisted and tight fitting. They formed to a woman's figure and showed off her greatest assests. The cropped hem, which ended just above the ankle, provided length for the leg. It suited, and still suits, every body shape there is. Women like Audrey Hepburn and Marilyn Monroe were big fans of the cigarette pants, as am I. I tend to grab these pants every day that I’m not wearing jeans. They're so easy to wear it’s not even funny. I throw on a turtleneck, my cigarette pants, and ballet flats and I’m all set. Work, school, a bar, wherever you go these pants will work. I've had a couple pairs, but usually one at a time, and always in black. I look for a high waist, side pockets, and tight (but not skinny jean tight) legs. I almost always have to crop them or hem them because I have unreasonably short legs, but it’s worth the hassle.

Charvet Shirt

I had always been looking for a good quality button down (button up? What’s the difference?) but every single one I was recommended was always kind of...meh. It wasn't until I was reading an interview from Sofia Coppola, who is one of my style idols, where she said her go to "uniform” was a Charvet men’s shirt and pants. So of course I had to have one. The French shirtmaker Charvet has been the place where men get their perfectly tailored shirts and suits since 1838. The Brand, founded by Monsieur Joseph-Christophe Charvet, has supplied shirts to Charles de Gaulle, Winston Churchill and Yves Saint Laurent. The classic Charvet shirt is white, but the French brand carries blue, stripes, and just about any other color you can dream of. The clean cut shirt is made from premier cotton. The collar alone is made with six layers of unfused cloth. Buttons are Australian mother-of-pearl, from the surface of the oyster shell for better strength and color clarity. Each shirt takes thirty days to complete. This amount of craftsmanship and quality is reflected in the price. The men’s classic shirt is priced at $695 on Neiman Marcus. However, secondhand you can purchase the shirt, men’s or women’s, for under $100. I snagged a women’s blue and white vertical striped shirt on poshmark and when I tell you this is the nicest button down shirt I have ever owned, I mean it. It’s thick cotton is heavy enough to be opaque but light enough to give a clean cut look. It’s so soft I want to sleep in it. I have washed it, dried it, and done unspeakable things to a shirt of this value, and it is still in mint condition. It dresses up or down and fits me like a glove. I am with Ms. Coppola on this one. This shirt has become a “uniform” for me.

Yves Saint Laurent “Smoking Jacket”

No I don't own a YSL smoking jacket. BUT, I do own a couple of blazers that are the same thing to me. Officially named “Yves Saint Laurent Le Smoking Suit”, it was the first tuxedo for women. There is a trend with me and “revolutionary women’s clothes”, I know. In 1966, designer Yves Saint Laurent created “Le Smoking” as an alternative to the little black dress. The tuxedo style suit was made for women, taking inspiration from men’s tuxedos, Laurent added feminine shapes and curves to the suit to create a more womanly figure. The three piece suit was made famous by Helmut Lang’s pictures above, which featured androgynous models with slicked back hair, smoking cigarettes in the streets of Paris. The suit, stood for influence and power for women at a time when women were still expected to wear skirts and dresses. The suit, especially the blazer for me, oozes sex appeal and class. Blazers add such a statement to an outfit. I can't help but want to throw on a blazer everyday and while it’s not a Saint Laurent jacket, it still counts. One day YSL, one day.

Burberry Trench Coat

Possibly one of my favorite items of clothing, ever? There is not a time or a place where I don't bring my trench coat. I wear it in the spring, summer, fall, and winter. Anytime it is acceptable, or even not acceptable, to wear a trench coat, I do. The coat was designed in 1912 by Thomas Gabardine to protect WW1 military personnel from wind and rain. It is made from gabardine, a tough and hard-wearing fabric that Mr. Burberry actually invented in the late 1800s. The trench coat made its way from officers to everyday people because of its sleek and verstatile design, attracting film stars and royals. The inside of the trench is lined with the classic Burberry checkered pattern. This jacket is my second skin. I have worn it with jeans, dresses, shorts, even pajamas. It feels amazing on the skin, the lightweight lining feels like silk and the heavy gabardine fabric is tough and hard to ruin (this is big for me, I drop a lot of sauces). It can be a light jacket in the warmer months, or layered in the cooler months. I often wear it with the belt tied in the back, and unbuttoned for a more casual look. I love this jacket so much I sometimes wear it around the house just to feel better. I will never, ever, not wear my trench coat.

Jane Birkin Basket Bag

This item is actually a new one for me that I purchased this past summer. I've always known about French Actress Jane Birkin, but I never really understood her thing about straw bags? Jane Birkin is the inspiration for the infamous Hermes Birkin Bags, and she has her straw bag to thank for that. Hermes chief executive Jean-Louis Dumas was sat next Birkin on an airplane when her items fell out of her straw bag. He created the Birkin, a handbag with a solid bottom, like her straw bag. She liked straw basket bags because of their sturdy and solid structure. The straw basket bags have been a “trend”, I hate to say, for the past two years with just about every French blogger carrying one. It took me a while to catch on, I saw it as being a little...old woman at the market? But I quickly liked the natural aesthetic it brings to an outfit, even a all black classy outfit. Its light, and airy, something that is often needed, especially in New York where its all dark colors always. I purchased my basket bag on etsy and have never looked bag. I add bandanas and scarves to the handles, making it look different every day. It has sort of become a statement piece for me and I have grown my straw bag collection to include a larger straw tote and a slouchy shoulder bag. I hope it holds up!

E. Porselli Ballet Flats

Last, but most. certainly. not. least. My favorite shoes in the entire world, E. Porselli black ballet flats. I don't ever have to think about shoes with an outfit, because it’s always my flats. Even in the dead of winter, in the snow, I wear my flats. These shoes have been my staple for a couple years now, and I get happier each time I wear them. The ballet flat, obviously derived from the Ballerina shoe, has been around since the 16th century. They went in and out of style after the high heel came around, but were brought back to life when Audrey Hepburn wore them in Funny Face. Repetto is actually the more classic ballet shoe brand, but for some reason I prefer the slipper-like style of E. Porselli’s. They’re lightweight, but they can handle the extreme walking I do in the city. I have this obsession with my feet looking slim and small, and will not wear a shoe if they’re even slightly clunky (sorry boots!) But ballet flats are the epitome of my style. I have nothing more to say.
