Ok so the recent Chilli gmmore ask inspired me to watch it and I just wanted to talk about a moment that I noticed. When talking about drinking water during sex Rhett almost starts complaining because Link does so during instead of before or after. He kind of stops himself from saying more/elaborating but when I heard that I was just like 👀 speaking from personal knowledge? Cause that's what it sounded like. What a wild video, thanks to you and the other Anon for inspiring me to watch it!

Link once had revealed how he had paused during sex with Christy in order to drink water and Rhett had so many opinions about it hahaha He hasn't allowed Link to live it down which is why he mentioned it this time as well.

However, Rhett DOES seem to feel very strongly about whatever micro-disagreements he has with Link regarding sex. The most suspicious one is how he has expressed quite a few times some sort of frustration / exasperation for Link not being a big fan of oral. There was definitely an implication of Link being potentially skilled at oral but the tragedy was that he wasn't very fond of it. And yes once he acted like he was feeling for Christy but in a few other occasions he did not mention Christy at all and he was just whining. Then of course one of my personal big Rhink moments is that once Rhett muttered: "We are probably the most vanilla men in the world" in a tone that also hinted he did not consider himself responsible for it.

But also, why "we"? Doesn't Rhett claim to be quite adventurous? Why is it a "we" unit when it comes to sex and why does it seem like Rhett is frustrated about it and considering Link responsible....?

This was one of his biggest slips ever IMO.

Basically TikTok DESERVES to be thrown in the trash after this

As worried about tiktok propaganda as people are, THIS is the kind of propaganda i'm concerned about.

[asherlockstudy]

Just in case any of you are confused, TikTok being banned and coming back not even 24 hours later with a giant "we thank President Trump" message is NOT a win. It's a huge red flag and a sign that this was a thousand percent planned.

what is your favourite Sherlock episode or scene? :0

Before S4 my favourite episode was definitely His Last Vow. The ending with Moriarty's DID YOU MISS ME almost caused me a heart attack! I thought the sequence with Moriarty in Sherlock's mind palace and then the heavy talk Sherlock and John had in front of Mary were all brilliant and so deep and setting the stage for the season 4...

But then season 4 ruined all my dreams and all plot points that seemed to head to that direction and everything in His Last Vow was left hanging utterly meaningless. Apart from Eurus the Evil Sister who I have reasons to believe it was a character planned from the first season already, everything else, Mary's redemption, the death of Johnlock and Moriarty being very much dead were in my opinion decisions of the last minute and not the original plan (Moffat had promised a five-series arc after all). So whatever was heralding these things instead turned into nonsense and above all else His Last Vow turned into nonsense.

So after this my second favourite episode became my first and that was the Reichenbach Fall. All the sequence on Bart's roof just can't be topped and thankfully still works even with Moriarty truly dead. But all of the episode is just peak television really.

One of the loudest episodes to me is the chilli bowl jordan more, and I don't even read either of their responses to the culture comment as having taken it to mean straight culture as opposed to evangelical, but who knows.

When Link mentions Christy turning the lights off to shut him up, and jordan wants to ask, he says "i don- rhett doesn't have to answer it :)" which is either masterful ship bait or whatever you would call what he does in your theory of making comments that are a bit too real to poke at rhett. ("the other person who knows first hand doesn't have to answer :)")

rhett only seems to notice and fake laugh when jordan points out the question about link's intercourse habits would not be for rhett.

he of course still is happy to express his opinions and knowledge (not for the first time either lol) on link's talkativity in the bedroom (poor by just wants to connect smh stop shaming him) which of course could be just that they are open and have talked/argued a lot about their habits, or equally work with other theories that they always drop hints about like poly stuff etc. he also feels the need to clarify "the first time he had sex *with her*" you know, so no one will assume that he knows this from first hand experience, despite being something they have talked and joked about for years.

but after a long while of talking about sex and using cheese as a euphamism for orgasm, and link's preference for looong sex and his struggles to cheese more than once and getting engrossed in the subtextual convo and jokes to the point of mostly forgetting to care about the game and the non-subtextual meaning of what they were saying, rhett, looking pleased with himself and desk patting, says "so I double cheese myself and I double cream link :)"

and link responds with seemingly too much sincerity: "I'm alright with that!"

rhett, as typical, gets spooked and brings it straight back to purely game talk lol

it's a great watch tbh, like if this is all bait, it would be very impressive and also very manipulative.

but it seems like sometimes you put that wonderful lesbian between them and they lose a little control on their perfectly straight besties personas. who knows what the real them is like though, i think they cultivate what they put out based on the audience, maybe even census data, because sometimes the bro culture vibe shows up on EB and can be a bit jarring (i remember seeing comments about rhett saying "when i was f*cking my wife's brains out" which did feel uncharacteristically crude and exaggerated)

meanwhile to my understanding the gmm audience has a heavily female demographic. but they have successfully driven a huge chunk of the community which would be interested in their baiting away, so why would they insist on getting gayer and maintaining or trying to build on such a tiny audience demographic (shippers and such)

sorry ! major tangent lmao I'm just rambling

Yeah that was one WILD episode.

what "new strategy" have you been picking up on? i've noticed some husbandy energy but that has always happened at times. and maybe not rushing to 'correct' stuff as much.

"our family" was sweet and it really seemed like that was the way it was meant to come across (as opposed to saying it from lando's perspective)

Tbh I meant that they are pulling a 180 of straight husbands who straight, Link actually more than Rhett, which is a first. It feels like he brings up Christy constantly and out of nowhere. "Blah blah blah Christy thinks this about it blah blah blah we went somewhere with Christy blah blah blah you know, I told Christy blah blah" in ways he resolutely did not do until a month ago and certainly not in such a frequency. Until a month ago we had Rhett's "Ma wife" now we have Link's "you know, Christy...". It's just too abrupt a change, it is a daily thing.

He was doing so well until the last EB when he couldn't help it and told Rhett that if you laid him bended naked with his nuts out you wouldn't be able to tell whether he's neutered or not and Rhett nearly choke (semi-disapproving semi-affected) XD

they have changed their strategy A LOT this new year but today I was reminded I can read them well when I predicted Link was gonna put having a baby below having an affair and then he just did that. And then the cherry on top was when he said he's been fantasizing about quitting his job all the time. I know man.

In the extended cut on the Society of Link’s drag makeover, he alludes to the anti-drag discourse that was happening in the US at the time. Watching the full vid it becomes pretty clear the “reason” they decided to do something with drag was to help demystify it & push back against the demonization of it. He went to a drag show, had his eyes opened a bit, and also saw an opportunity to make a video that was both entertaining & education (& monetizable).

That’s cool.
