Stella McCartney 'Double Breasted Wool Blend Tweed Coat' - $2,900.00
While Stella McCartney is very much a Lover era brand (courtesy of Taylor’s fashion collaboration with the brand), a matching set like this gives me #1989 flashbacks - an era known predominantly for the power of a co-ordinated ‘fit.
Still riding the high of 1989 (Taylor's Version) this very much to me feels like an elevated, business-esque, modern take on the crop tops and skirts of her 2014 self. But built for cooler weather.
It also to me harkens back to her neck to foot plaid look for the Miss Americana premiere at Sundance which also featured a wool check plaid.
Worn with: Stella McCartney coat, VRAI + Jacquie Aiche + Louis Vuitton jewelry, Sheertex tights, Jimmy Choo x Jean Paul Gaultier heels
Get the look: Abercrombie, $154 (on sale)

So. Its out. This is obviously pretty awesome sauce (sorry not sorry jas) and like.
wow.
so it started, middle/late 2011, almost 12 years ago. Some silly little university kids making a stupid horror puppet show. Becky Sloan and Joseph Pelling, creating Dont Hug Me Im Scared. What a way to start of the 2010s huh.
After a series of short videos, created for the Kickstarter, the sequel was created. Tony The Talking Clock was he spectacle of 2014 tumblr, eventually winning the most coveted title a fictional outcast could probably get, ‘Tumblr Sexyman.’ The fandom at this time was WILD, with the whole IceHell genre and the ‘Paige x Tony’ fanatics. Not to mention that kids react video.
At this same year, my personal skrunkle scrimblo came around. The Love Cult was introduced by the ringleader Shrignold, worshipping a stone who they fed gravel. Nobody knows why or how the living FUCK they managed to start a cult like this, but here we go. This was the first time the gang was seen outside, and this circled around Yellow Guy (whos a pig??)
Along comes 2015, introducing the absolute LEGEND, COLIN. THE. COMPUTER. Legend in the making, stupid self absorbed fucktwat, and the computery guy!! Also, the outro was a bop. By now, the DHMIS community had grown a fanbase, the watch count of the series so far over 3 Million!!1!
AND NOW. THIS IS WHEN SHIT GETS REAL!!
dhmis five. the talking point of every internet kids trauma. This episode was about being helfy!,2 Joined by the silly goofy Healthy Band, duck guy and yellow (red guy, whered he go?) learned all about why you shouldnt eat food from a strangers plate!! What made DHMIS special was its unsettling gore, which was shown perfectly in the scene where duck gets his. organs took out! graphically! Awesome!
then the finale came. dhmis 6, 2016, 6. years ago now. 6 whole years. introducing the harsh reality of the real world, the absoloute CHAD which we call Larry, Lars, Larson, Lamp Guy, THE LAMP1!11 Teaching (drunk, on drugs, sleep deprived, who knows?) yellow guy all about the wonderful dreams you can have, including eating a drink, buying a hat, losing your friends and drowning in oil of course! This episode was what made this whole puppet show a real nightmare. skrunkle yellow guy gets (unfortunately) mind-tortured by all the teachers, including the saxaphone. still really wanna know how to buy a canoe. At the end, we finally found out who was the brains behind all of this, none other than yellow guys DAD himself, ROY. This is why, perhaps, this whole fever dream nightmare was based around June 19th Fathers day. This is what, we all though, the end was. 5 years of youtube wonder, Becky Joe and Baker created a phenomenon that shocked the internet in perhaps a million different ways. But the positive feedback was overwhelming, woohoo!
By now, the improvement was MASSIVE. as shown below :
And now. This is when we all thought it was over. Until 2 years later, in 2018, all hope was lost. Until those 2 words,
WAKEY WAKEY!!
this was a 30 second short trailer for the DHMIS Pilot, showing at the 2019 Sundance film festival!
This is where it gets a bit weird, because not only is the original Wakey Wakey deleted, the full thing was never shown anywhere else. the only surviving footage of this was the bad quality pirated videos , with those 2 girls laughing thunderously in the background. A new sexyman, MEAN STEVE (🤤, sorry not sorry) WAS INTRODUCED! WE ALL WANNA SEE HIM IN HIS FULL METAL STICK GLORY! But nah we didnt get that. We didnt get a show, which we all because suspicious of.
well. thats what we thought.
2020. the year of the corona. no hope, isolation. until a lovely woman named Becky Sloan posted a lil thing on her instagram. ‘Were making a tv shooowwww! 📺👀📺👀📺👀📺👀’ AND THIS IS WHERE IT GOT WILDER AWESOMER EPICER!!! WE WAITED AND WE WAITED AND WE FINALLY GOT SOME CONFIRMATION! THIS WAS AWESOME! it got picked up by a charity project by the name of BFI YAC,, hoping to pick up on small industries work! AND IT DID!
time went by, still no show. we all thought it was over, cancelled, whatever.
2021 ROLLS PAST.
FILMING WAS WRAPPED! IN THE TIME WE WERE ALL GRIEVING AT THE THOUGHTS OF NO TV SHOW, THEY WERE WORKING ON IT THE WHOLE TIMEEE!!
‘WAKEY WAKEY’ as the fandom called it at the time, was coming!
now we wait. until FEB 25 2022. They finished the final sound recording. It was all done, we were all waiting for that special day, June 19th
, Fathers day. , 3 months ago.
and what did we get?
FLY.
THE TRAILER FOR THE NEW SHOW, PREMIERING CHANNEL 4 IN SEPTEMBER!! OH !EM GEE!
Now, we were all anticipating for the new series, we waited EXTREMELY PATIENTLY for this, 4-5 years no less. Honestly we shoulda won an award for the most patient fandom at this point.
SEPTEMBER 2022!
WE GOTTA GET THINGS READY FOR THS BIG DAY! BIG DAY! THE TRAILER WAS OUT! COMING SEPTEMBER 13TH!
but then, disaster struck! ohh no!
HRH Queen Elizabeth fell ill and kicked the bucket. Obviously , this meant not only is the country in ruins now lol! (fuck liz truss basically) But the show (we thought) was in jeopardy! (not really) The 10 days of mourning began, and the All 4 Website announced that the show would be slightly delayed, but coming this month.
THIS MONTH! NOW! FRIDAY 23RD, 2022. THE BIG DAY HAS ARRIVED! 6 SHINING BRAND NEW EPISODES, PREPARED FOR THE BIG TV DEBUT FRIDAY 30TH SEPTEMBER!
THE IMPROVEMENT, BY NOW WAS STUNNING AWESOME EPIC!! LOOKLOOKLOOK!
this new series, which is 1 day old!! fresh new awesome! is AMAZING! 3 WHOLE HOURS FULL OF OUR FAVE TRAFFIC LIGHT TRIO!
(Yes. we know, you still find red guy sexy.)
(AND COLIN. AND THE LAMP. AND A BIT OF TONY TOO!)
JUST THREE OF THEM! CLAYHILL HAD, UNFORTUNATELY, SHRIVELLED UP OR SOMETHING! (I RECKON)
this was obviously a sign that Wakey Wakey is now Lost Media. But we got this! all thanks to that one silly dumb stupid epic 3 minute long short on youtube, made by 2 people, in their free time, DONT HUG ME IM SCARED!
This post is basically, appreciation for Becky Joe and Baker, and the fandom, and everyone who helped in the making of this phenomenon!
Along the way, we’ve encountered our askblogs, most notably @sketchbook-and-tony-adventures !! And the awesome, probably most noted artists of DHMIS tumblr, the epic awesome amazing @amii-stuff @frootrollup? whats the username again? @hecklefreckled & @bernold ! Obviously more as well but i honestly dont remember the usernames :/ And our epic news sharer @creative-time !! Thanks you guys! And some awesome others, like @creechurfoundincheckerboardvoid @dhmispaint and the bezzie mate @xzumichannn !! Woohoo! Thank you guys so much, without this crazy massive fandom, we probably wouldnt have even got this far, crazy right!
So far, the best moments of this 2011-2022 era for me have been
- ‘Where are all you nasty clockfuckers! did you finally fuck that clock?’
- Sketch has a small face
- LisWeegee Adventures In Lurning dubs
- Whoever the heck that spanish dhmis gacha person is!
- That one ‘No bitches’ meme with shrignold :
- My amazing askblog i could never be bothered to do!
- Whoever that tiktok guy is
- “FREELANCERS DESERVE TO DIE!”
- Money Man. Deserves to be a sexyman fr!
- “BYE GUYS! I LOVE YOU!”
- Hearing the first few seconds of the first episode intro. those bells man. something, a feeling im never gonna feel again. ever. something i could experience only once.
The only bad thing. LAMPS SOBERED UP?? WHERED THE DRUGGIE INSOMNIAC VOICE GO?
Anyways. I love yall your all awesome, were finally trending on tumblr again, and we all have worms in our brain!
What have we got to look forward to now?
- DELTARUNE NEW CHAPTERS, 2023? The finale will probably be ready for 2027…
thats literally it. sorry. Hazbin Hotels coming to tv? i guess? lol.
this is obviously a national highlight of 2022 🥱 well no. Its internationally an internet milestone. duh!
LONG LIVE DHMIS!!

This week's Monday Philm is A Most Wanted Man (2014), dir. Anton Corbijn. I've been wanting to rewatch this one recently. It's a very January film to me, both in style and in memory—it premiered 10 years ago in January at the Sundance film festival; I watched it for the first time almost exactly two years ago in January; it's of course one of Phil's final films.
I wrote a true review of tonight's viewing on letterboxd (in typical rambling, personal essay fashion), but I can always find more to say. There are moments I love just as much as the first time I saw them, like Günther drinking out of a Moomin mug, and things I feel like I've only noticed on this fourth(?) viewing—one very Philish expression Bachmann makes, his terrible parking job, the way he rubs a hand along his thigh as he interrogates Annabel.
Phil and his work have been part of my life long enough now that I can look back, which is a funny feeling—sometimes a complicated one, but mostly a comfort. I remember how much it hurt watching A Most Wanted Man for the first time, knowing it was one of the last PSH films I hadn't seen yet. I've shared it with people I love, including a friend who is no longer with us. I read the book, diving further into this le Carré world. I know there are good memories and painful memories wrapped up in this film for Phil's family and friends.
This is, unbelievably!, the fourth year I've spent watching at least one PSH film a week, but they're still fresh to me. I'm different, so they're different. I realize more and more what a privilege it is to grow and change alongside them, to learn new lessons, to appreciate Phil as an actor, an artist, a man, a person in deeper ways. I'm just trying to slow down and remember that the next few weeks.
