[mihai-florescu]

Aw thank you! Ive had the same blog since 2014 when i was in middle school ^_^

[lovotomii]

oh wait actually i wonder what 4chan is doing for april fools this year

[earthwormjimnocontext]

Hey just curious but did u ever join Bluesky?

I joined on my regular account as Teddyroo12, but I don't know about joining Earthworm Jim No Context on Blue Sky due to videos and lack of content. I'd love to but I'm just tired as a fan like don't get me wrong, I love Jim I'm probably never going to stop loving the games in the cartoon, but it's driving me insane. I don't really have any submissions and also I've been running dry on the Earthworm Jim well.. which is Why I stopped it on Tumblr. It's being stopped here until there is another goddamn reboot that's probably getting canceled.

Unless y'all want clips of the show in German.

It's tiring being a fan that's been stuck in a zombie like steak is it getting a single is it getting a reboot? oh it is? where is it? I don't know when's it coming out? I don't know? It's like we've been granted a monkey's paw. It's happened over and over again. It happened in 2006, it happened in 2016, it happened in 2020 twice, it happened in 2021.

We had to get our toes dragged into the Amico shit. And find out our composer is a lying stealing scumbag.

I'm not even as mad about Doug TenNapel anymore despite the fact that the man wants to kill me because I like What's Her Name too much. I'm mad at the people who have the rights to the character.

Banjo Kazooie fans are lucky, because at least they tell you, they don't want to make any more shit instead of just announcing it and then canceling it over and over again. To quote rock band Yes, "Owner of a lonely heart Is much better than an owner of a broken heart"

I can't even contribute to the fan game space and try to make it myself because it's just going to get fucking taken down. They take down redbubble designs.

These people took down MUGEN. WHAT KIND OF HEARTLESS BASTARDS TAKE DOWN MUGEN?! INTERPLAY WERE THE FIRST.

I can put aside rainbow capitalism, I can put aside in her plate potentially committing stock fraud on their charts, I can put aside the Creator being a homophobic douchebag, I'd even take those crappy Christian comic books any day because at the end of the day, I'm just tired of being treated like absolute shit by this company. And so is the rest of the fan base. And the entirety of Russia. And their own employees that are somehow still there. I feel bad for that poor soul who poured his tears onto 4chan over that Clayfighter project that they didn't pay him for. I feel bad for everybody in this fan base still clinging on a hope of life, looking at an "April fool's Day joke for Earthworm Jim 2 HD thinking God damn that's really impressive and sad good job now I want to cry, we forgive you for giving us hope"

I'm sorry this turned into a ramble post.

TLDR Interplay abandoned us by treating us like shit and also they don't even have a blue sky account so they're pretty much dead in the water.

[wandering-i-y2k]

this is not meant to say that 4chan is bad, necessarily(just look at friday night fankan or super mario /v/orld, fun times had by all), it’s just that that particular website is notorious for /b/, /mlp/, and /pol/.

the difference between adult bluey fans and adult mlp fans is that most adult bluey fans either had a bad childhood or want to raise their kids better. most adult mlp fans are perverts, 4channers, or some mixture of those two

PORTER ROBINSON - "CHEERLEADER"

April Fool's Day is over, now time for some SINCERITY...

[5.92]

Taylor Alatorre: This song sounds embarrassing. It sounds excessive. It sounds like something you might regret putting into the world five seconds after hitting "publish." It sounds, in other words, like high school. Porter Robinson's post-brostep career has been an extended treatise on escapism -- from the appealingly plaintive paracosms of 2014's Worlds to the soothing self-inventory of 2021's Nurture, with his Virtual Self side project managing to be both esoteric and stupidly self-explanatory. He's crafted a series of immersive alternatives to analog messiness, allowing the listener to check out of the everyday and place themselves for a moment in a softer-edged realm, with more explicable rules and a more poetic set of problems. "Cheerleader," though, offers the listener no assistance in either sidestepping or reconfiguring the uncomfortable reality into which they were born; music video aside, it's not really a song about fanbases gone wild either. Instead it's about the girl in your school's Anime Club who gave out her deviantART username before her phone number and taught you against your will what the word yaoi meant. The fujoshi representation, besides filling a glaring gap in the TSJ search index, makes it clear that this is about a real person and not an avatar, and it's that awkward flesh-and-blood realness which is precisely at issue here. Maybe she's as real as him, and maybe he couldn't live with that. The perspective of a boy who is unused to being the object of obsession is an under-explored one in music, probably because it's very hard to land it within the narrow range of acceptable loserdom. But Porter sticks the landing by enveloping us fully within the loser's headspace, where both his emo-inflected chagrin and his fragmented memories of the girl's "cheering" are enshrouded by a waterfall of blown-out Obama-era detritus. If you ever wondered what a big room house remix of Two Door Cinema Club might've sounded like, or Oracular Spectacular if it had debuted on Beatport, here's your answer. Other seemingly out-of-place additions -- the bitpop cowbell, the Punk Goes Acoustic bridge, the hilariously overwrought drumroll that becomes less so the second time around -- fit right into this 1080p capture of late adolescent bag-fumbling. Taken together, they convey a mismatch in interests and hobbies that may have seemed like a deal breaker at the time, but in hindsight was just another excuse to avoid vulnerability. Perhaps I only arrived at this gonzo interpretation because the 4chan-core single artwork serves as a kind of shibboleth for these things. If that's the case, then I plead guilty: I ate the apple. [10]

Oliver Maier: "We have Anamanaguchi at home." [6]

Hannah Jocelyn: I loved Porter Robinson's Nurture for its unapologetic sincerity, a balm when emerging back into the world post-lockdown. I miss that early hopefulness as the years have gone on; even now, it's hard for me to hear "Unfold" without being close to tears. "Cheerleader" is a frustrating detour, with inane lyrics about yandere fujoshis fetishizing Robinson -- you know you're doing nothing new when the Nostalgia Critic beat you to it, and Robinson hardly sells the can't live with 'em, can't live without 'em message better. Nurture, for better or worse, incorporated the pitch-shifting vocals of hyperpop into EDM (to the point where a trans woman musician I know grew frustrated with Nurture's acclaim for doing what acts like Katie Dey had done for years, regardless of how Robinson himself identifies.) That's worth acknowledging, especially as this attempts to go right to the source: 3OH!3 and Metro Station come to mind. Except there’s none of the polish that makes those songs work despite themselves -- What's with that tinny hi-hat? Where's the low end on the guitar? Listen to "Shake It"; that song from 2007 sounds better than this one from 2024. It's not enough to replicate the aesthetics; for some ungodly reason, Robinson decided it must sound like it's coming from a Hot Topic speaker too. [4]

Claire Biddles: We have "Shake It" by Metro Station at home. [4]

Tim de Reuse: I admire the chutzpah to take a stylistic hairpin turn like this. And I appreciate the ability to do that while retaining the crystal-clear boom-bap production chops that made you a breakout sensation in the first place. And I appreciate how it makes its power-pop references clear without sticking to them too desperately. And I appreciate the sheer craft; birds fly, rocks sink, Porter Robinson writes synth hooks that wrap around your mind and squeeze tight. And I appreciate the line about getting drawn kissing other guys. But there's a clean and edgeless quality here, a sterile expression of his EDM roots, that directly contradicts his attempts at a heartbreaking singalong. Nowhere does his voice crack with raw emotion; nowhere does it seem even possible that his voice might crack with raw emotion. [5]

Kayla Beardslee: Porter Robinson’s doing anime OSTs now? Good for him. [7]

Leah Isobel: I see this fitting into a whole universe of PS1/Nintendo DS aesthetic indie games, YouTube video essays about old anime, trans girls with Neocities websites, indie pop sung by vocaloids. I could call it hyperpop -- not in the sense of overdriven chaos, but in the sense of the hyperlink. (HTML revival would be more accurate.) As such, it feels a little too precise, its scruffiness deployed too purposefully; I feel like this stuff works best when the self is obscured, and Porter is too big of a star to let that happen. But that also means the chorus is fucking massive, so I can't complain too much. [7]

Nortey Dowuona: The soft, limply placed drums in the song for once are not the sabotaging element in this song. The lithe, acoustic guitar bridge is even nicely played. The guitar riff, doubled by the synth, is the true arrow to the heart of this song. Porter is processed to hell and back, refusing to give over his composition to a more present, entertaining vocalist, but that riff is so grating and stiff that when it first arrives, sliding up as the culmination of the slowly hopping pre-chorus, it stops the song from progressing any further, simply pushing Porter into the background and leaving his Melodyned voice slack below it, struggling to be heard. Now, does this stop me from screaming that chorus in my head? Of course not. It's not fair I have to keep hearing this grating riff every time, though. [6]

Ian Mathers: God, I love that recurring, overdriven synth sound that kicks in on the chorus. If anything I wish it was more all-enveloping when it hits (yes, like shoegaze, yes, I'm predicable). There's lots of other interesting things going on here, but I can't quite get over that visceral rush enough to figure out my response to it all. Hit the whoosh button again, Porter! [8]

Jacob Sujin Kuppermann: Not nearly dumb enough for me to enjoy its shtick. [3]

Isabel Cole: This sounds like a One Direction album track in a universe where after they got kicked off The X Factor, Simon Cowell realized he could save so much money by replacing everyone but Liam with robots, only when they got into the studio there was some kind of malfunction and Zayn-bot started screeching uncontrollably and Niall-bot fell on his side crackling horribly with static while Harry-bot and Louis-bot took turns punching each other until they were dented beyond recognition, and that's why it sounds like how it sounds. (Liam didn't notice anything amiss, obviously; have you met him?) [4]

Will Adams: At the heart of Nurture was its... well, heart. On that record, Porter Robinson wore his on his sleeve, crooning lines like "I'll be alive next year / I can make something good" without a hint of irony. On "Cheerleader," he surprisingly lets a bit of cynicism slip in. It's not a leap to see how producing such earnest, sincere art would naturally invite fans to form parasocial relationships, to draw fan art but not know where to "draw the line," to develop a near-fatalistic expectation of commitment. But between each of those details is a generous counterpoint, where Porter wonders if he benefits just as much from these feelings. It creates a fascinating tension, expressed best by the chorus: "IT'S NOT FAAAAIIIRRRRRR!", stretched over a fizzy, tightly-wound power-pop arrangement complete with a skyscraping synth line. Porter just can't help himself. We've all got feelings; why not scream them to the rafters? [8]

Katherine St. Asaph: Porter Robinson's brand of earnestness makes my heart feel burnt or dead. [5]

I like April's fools as someone from a country outside of the joke because every site has their own mini game that reflects on its users, like Tumblr being this

...while 4chan has its own stock market crisis all day like this

The Complete Official Pibby Timeline (So Far)

Hey guys, this is iDuckFilms. If you're in the Pibby fandom, you may know me from Twitter, but I decided to explore some backup options in case Twitter really does crash and burn like people are fearing. Plus I've been toying around with the idea of experimenting with other types of posts for a while. So I might as well start by creating a master list of everything that's canon to Pibby so far. There are a lot of things that are commonly mistaken for canon but aren't, but I figured it would be easier to list what is canon to make it easier to keep track.

October 30th 2021 - Come and Learn with Pibby Trailer/Pilot

The one that started it all. This was dropped onto Adult Swim's YouTube channel purposefully without any sort of promotion, though creator Dodge Greenley promoted it on his Instagram as "the trailer for [his] show", indicating that he intended it to be the trailer/pilot for a series. It immediately gets viral attention, first from the cartoon community and then snowballing out into the mainstream.

October 30th 2021 (actual date circa 2020) - The Casting Call

Soon, an anonymous 4chan user would leak several pages of a casting call for Pibby, revealing additional information about the characters. The user revealed that they auditioned for a role in the pilot, and that they left out several pages to make it harder for Cartoon Network and Adult Swim to track the leaker down.

October 30th 2021 (actual date circa 2020) - The Demo Reel

Soon, fans uncovered a demo reel originally posted on Soundcloud in 2020 by an actor who read for Bun Bun and Beta Kid. It used the same artwork as the leaked casting call, revealing the lines for Bun Bun and Beta Kid in the casting call and confirming both leaks to be real.

(To this date, no records of Pibby or Melira's lines from the casting call have surfaced)

November 5, 2021 - The Official Credits

Dodge Greenley would soon reveal the official credits of the Pibby pilot on his Instagram. This would confirm Melira's name, therefore confirming both leaks once again, but also reveal that Beta Kid's name had been changed to Alloy Boy during production.

April 1, 2022 - The April Fools Broadcast

After 6 months of no news, Adult Swim surprised fans with a two hour long broadcast consisting of episodes of other Adult Swim shows with Pibby, Bun Bun, and various glitches edited into them. Almost all the animation of them created for this broadcast was new, and it featured slight redesigns of the characters and the Darkness, including different palettes and a more Atari-like glitch. This was accompanied by a "Lost Bunny" poster of Bun Bun and several billboards in Los Angeles and Atlanta featuring Pibby and Bun Bun.

After this, there would be no major Pibby news. However, there is still one surprisingly major thing left to cover

November 15, 2022 - Pibby wins a CLIO Award

This is the latest official Pibby update. For those who don't know, the CLIO Awards are a prestigious award ceremony dedicated to celebrating the best ad campaigns. Shockingly, Pibby won several of these awards, including a Grand Prize. As their submission for the CLIO Awards, Adult Swim created a video going over the history of Pibby so far and, surprisingly, featuring many posts from Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Twitter, and r/Pibby, including posts from my Twitter account and for some reason various Elsagate videos created by the infamous YouTube Kids channel Among Us Stop Motion. This shows that Adult Swim has been keeping tabs on the Pibby fandom, and that support from Pibby fans matters in getting the show greenlit. The video also ends with acknowledgement that Pibby fans want more content, and the cryptic line "The legend of Pibby continues". Only time will tell if this means anything.

My fiancé: so on April fools one year they mixed up the MLP board with another board on 4chan and after hours of bickering they reached an understanding and one of the guys asked, who would hitler’s favorite my little pony be?

Me: probbaly rainbow dash

Him: is that her name? Rainbow dash?

Me: yes, do you not know who rainbow dash is?

Him: no I don’t know who rainbow dash is I don’t know any MLPs

[beesmygod]

origin of this stupid image: the magazine n-gamer (nintendo gamer) used to have a recurring (?) april fools segment where the premise was iwata performing insulting interviews with other CEOs. both this image and the phrase "[continued laughter]" comes from this fake article where iwata makes fun of sony for the vita lol.

someone on 4chan 800000 years ago edited it to be [continued slaughter]. thats your worthless fact for the day

Ma’am, I’m charging you with manslaughter… because you are KILLING it lately

“Why is the "trans day of vengeance" on april fools day? Seems like a potential warning sign that it could be a psyops / 4chan style thing to stir hate. Idk though I'm not on twitter”

I hope that’s the case but Trans Day of Visibility is March 31st which is a Friday. I think they were counting on more allies showing up for a weekend event.

Martyr’s don’t kill innocents including children. Content warning: it’s about a school shooting and people posting pictures of themselves holding weapons.

Controversial group behind 'Trans Day of Vengeance' raised money for firearms training - as other trans protestors pose with guns ahead of march in DC on Saturday

The protest was rebranded before the Nashville tragedy from 'visibility' to 'vengeance' by the Trans Radical Activist Network

But some social media users appear to have taken the protest to another level and have posed with powerful firearms posted along with the hashtag 

Twitter has since removed more than 5,000 posts that have used the flyer for the event on April 1 

Despite three nine-year-olds being gunned down by a transgender shooter at a private Christian school in Nashville, activists are still rallying the troops to protest for a 'Trans Day of Vengeance' - months after raising money for firearms training. 

Transgender shooter Audrey Hale opened fire on the Covenant School in Nashville at 10.30am on Monday, killing Hallie Scruggs, William Kinney and Evelyn Dieckhaus during her rampage at the school.

But despite rising political tensions across the country, which saw a press secretary for Arizona Democrat Governor post a Tweet about shooting transphobes, the Trans Radical Activist Network (TRAN) is pushing forward with their protest in DC.

The Virginia chapter of the group held a 'dance party fundraiser' in Richmond 'benefiting firearm/self-defense training for trans-Virginians' on March 7, before the mass shooting had taken place. 

In statements, the group has taken pains to distance themselves from Hale, and her actions, and changed the name of the protest before the brutal slayings.  

The protest on Saturday was initially meant to be called a 'day of visibility' but rebranded before the shooting to vengeance because it means 'fighting back with vehemence' – though the group was quick to say they do not 'encourage or promote violence' when contacted by DailyMail.com. 

But one person posing as an activist appears to have taken the movement to the next level, posting a picture of a heavily armed person with an assault rifle and threatening to 'kill christcucks' - as Twitter removed thousands of posts with flyers for the event. 

Twitter has been removing the posts that could be deemed threatening or involve guns associated with the 'TransDayofVengeance' hashtag - but it is unclear exactly how many were others posing with weapons as they have since been deleted.

Ella Irwin, Twitter's head of trust and safety, wrote that the company removed more than 5,000 tweets that included a poster for the event.

She said: 'We do not support tweets that incite violence irrespective of who posts them. 

'Vengeance' does not imply peaceful protest. Organizing or support for peaceful protests is ok.'

Two other trans activists have since posted footage and photos of themselves with rifles, which appear to be in direct response to the Nashville shooting. 

One says that she will use the weapon for 'protection' against 'transphobes' who  target them. 

Kayla Denker, who describes themselves as a ‘communist, archaeologist and writer, posted the video of herself with her gun after the incident in Nashville – despite saying ‘advocating for trans people to arm ourselves is not any kind of a solution to the genocide we are facing’.

She is also appealing for help with the medical bills for her transition on her social media, which has now been locked down.

Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Green also saw her account removed after she launched several anti-trans attacks on Twitter.

Greene claimed that 'Antifa' was organizing the alleged event, and reposted a poster for the protest while complaining Twitter kept removing her posts before she was ultimately suspended.

Activists are being encouraged to 'bring a buddy' and wear a mask at the event outside of the Supreme Court in DC on April 1, and is billed as avenging a 'trans genocide.'

Organizers did not respond when asked questions about the safety of protests amid the increasing pressure between the two sides of the political spectrum.

Websites such as Etsy are still being used to sell pro-gun and trans merchandise, with stickers that say 'defend equality' with assault rifles on as well as t-shirts and other items emblazoned with 'Trans rights… or else' which also have the high-powered guns in pink, white and blue – the Trans colors – on them.

TRAN is run by three co-founders, one of whom is a former staffer for the Virginia Democrats and stepped down to work with the group.

Bo Belotti, the national recruitment director, is a 'trans masculine non-binary person' and helped the Virginia chapter of the group to raise money to go on guns and self-defence.

On March 7, the Virginia chapter held a 'dance party fundraiser' in Richmond 'benefiting firearm/self-defense training for trans-Virginians. Come boogie with us and defend trans life!'

Belotti worked as a fellow for Del. Elizabeth Guzman, and Del. Joshua Cole as a legislative aide and helped draft HB 145, which required the state to create model transgender policies for public schools.

His bio on the website adds: 'While working in their state's legislators they helped craft trans-affirming statewide policies.' 

Another co-founder is non-binary Tsukuru, who had been posting updates on the protest before locking down their account following the backlash in the aftermath of the mass shooting.

Their bio states that they were a 'graduate of a high school in Hiroshima where 350 young lives were brutally taken on August 6, 1945, Tsukuru is an anti-nuclear/anti-war/human rights activist.'

It adds: 'After his brief marriage to his best friend and the birth of his child, he first came out as lesbian at age 29 and as a transgender man at age 50.'

The final founder is Noah Buchanan who helped to set up Tran initially, writing on the website: 'Noah Buchanan; I am a transgender male and have been out since 2018. I have 10+ years of working in the mental health field.

'What motivated me to start TRAN was the fact I was bullied to the point where I attempted to end my own life. The person that bullied me was a fellow member of the LGBTIA+.'

In a statement to DailyMail.com Buchanan said: 'What I will say is that this protest was not about encouraging or promoting violence.

This protest is about uniting and letting people know that we are human beings, we exist, and love conquers hate.'
