August Compliments ☀️🔍

[Compliments Masterlist]

Hello everyone! So this is the continuation of the first Compliments Post I made and a round up of the compliments from August 2023.

So let’s jump in shall we!

August 2023

Starting off the month we got a double dose 4 days into the month. And it actually comes from Ian!

What Would Our Warning Labels Say? | Let’s Get Talking

Ian, Shayne, Courtney, and Angela all played a Q&A style game where Ian gave some answers relating to and complimenting Anthony :-

I should also say the time stamp title for this question in the video is ‘Who Are Our Fave People’ 🥹

Q: “Who do you admire the most?”

Originally Ian agreed with Courtney’s answer of Amanda but never expanded on why and gave a very Ian answer of “things like that [what Courtney said]”, before changing his answer :-

Ian: “I have a different answer actually - Anthony.”

Courtney: “Awwww!”

Courtney being the resident Ianthony fangirl once again and representing us all 😌

Ian: “I think because he was always - until towards the end of his time at Defy he wasn’t a hundred percent in it, but before that with the sketches and now that he’s back, whenever he’s doing something, he’s a hundred percent into it. He’s fully committed. He’s willing to do whatever it takes to make sure it’s the best it can be.”

I know we don’t get it as often from Ian, but these little tidbits that we do show that the appreciation for Anthony is there just as much as Anthony’s is there for him. Ian just expresses himself in different ways. He actually mentions similar thing when it comes to himself and showing outward excitement even when he is excited and Courtney chimes in with how she has seen him showing his excitement outward and how she’s seen it “especially lately” 🥲 I made a post with the clip at the time which you can find here.

Another little moment from the video that is compliment-adjacent I’d say since I think it says a lot about who someone chooses as their answer to the question :-

Q: “If you had to be handcuffed to a person for a week, who would it be and why?”

Ian: “I guess I would say Anthony, because I feel a lot of the video ideas that we came up with back in the day was just out of boredom of being around each other a lot and we’d just come up with a video idea. So I feel like being handcuffed to him for a week would give us an opportunity to come up with a lot of ideas for sketches.”

Okay, so again in typical Ian fashion we gotta read between the lines a little on this one 😅 Ian doesn’t like to get mushy as we know so his reasoning being “coming up with video ideas” doesn’t surprise me lol. But I think the first part of his answer gives a lot away - having someone you can be bored with says a lot. That’s a very specific level of comfort with another person. Not to let my swiftie side show on this post lol but there’s a lyric Taylor has from her song Peace that perfectly sums up what I mean by this

“Give you the silence that only comes when two people understand each other.”

That’s what I mean. Someone you can be bored with and it’s still a good time, there’s no awkwardness, you can sit in silence because it’s enough to just be existing in the same space that they are.

Moving on from the Games video.

Variety Article (aka Blue Dot Gate)

On the same day, Variety dropped an article with Ian and Anthony, and for some reason Ian had blue dot on his face in the photo that was used for it 🤷‍♀️ Ian was just as confused and so took to his Instagram Story :-

And Twitter :-

But Anthony was quick to show his support 🫡 :-

SLEEPWALKING DISASTER! Watch Party

So during the livestream someone in the chat says that Ian should change his profile picture in the Smosh Royalty discord server to the one of him with all his cross-country medals from his high school senior portraits. He’s got a really terrible haircut in it 🙈 He does find it funny but I’m not going to share it because I know part of him hates it and I feel bad, but it is out there so you should be able to find it if you’re curious.

Anyways, they’re joking around about it and Anthony’s (affectionately) taking the piss out of him for it.

Ian: [explaining the photo] “So I was posing with all my cross-country medals; Cause your boy is a freakin’ champion. No, not really.”

Anthony: [in cutesy voice] “Yeah you arrree.”

Ian don’t you know by now that Anthony will not allow you to downplay your accomplishments! 😤

Anthony: [finds and shows the photo to the camera] “Why did you take a photo with all your medals?”

Ian: “Cause I didn’t accomplish much else [in high school]...”

Anthony: “Awwwww no, yeah you did!”

IAN STOP BEING MEAN TO YOURSELF THATS SO SAD 😩

Glad Bestie Anthony is on hand 🥺

Assassin’s Creed 3 Song - Flashback w/ Smosh Ep 1

First episode of their new podcast brought forth a few little complimentary moments :-

Ian: “I look so adorable here [the screencap above].”

Anthony: “Yeah, you look so cute.”

Anthony: “Awww, Ian being a soft boi”

Plus the little hint of a smile on Anthony’s face seeing baby-face Ian ☺️

That Smosh Guy - Ian Hecox Interview | How Famous Is Jirard?

Another little compliment from Ian sprinkled in the month. Nothing major, just wanted to include it. He went on this podcast and talked about Defy and how what Smosh became ultimately led to Anthony leaving.

Ian: “So after the years of doing all this extra stuff that Anthony felt like wasn’t really core, I think it just really wore him out, and the thing with Anthony is that - if he has a project, he’ll put his whole heart into it.”

Just thought this was nice little one to include since we’ve had a lot of Anthony recognising Ian’s work ethic, so why not the other way round for a change? I think it’s also another example of why their dynamic works well, especially since Ian goes on to say that he’s not like that, and that if he’s not feeling a project he won’t put all his efforts into it. I feel that must balance them out well - that if Ian isn’t really feeling something but Anthony is he can encourage Ian to see the potential in it, and same goes for if Anthony’s putting too much pressure on himself to create something perfect when he doesn’t necessarily need to, Ian is able to pull him back and recognise that he doesn’t need to burn himself out.

Roasting Each Other’s Cringey Tweets (You Posted That)

They brought up the ‘baby more like daddy’ tweet that I included in the first compliments post. And what did I say about how the period of time when Anthony kept complimenting Ian on social media before their reunion stood out to me. Now we have confirmation that, as Erin dubbed it in have video, they were “soft launching” the fact they were talking/friends again.

Ian: [tweet shows on screen] “So I said ‘Baby’s first chain’. Ha ha [fiddles with necklace] now I’m a chain boi.”

Anthony: “Awww.”

Not really a compliment, just thought it was cute lol.

Anthony: “I remember this was my first time ever publicly supporting you.”

Ian: [smiles] “Noooo, that’s not true.”

Oh 🥺 I don’t know what to call this moment exactly? Almost like the shoe is on the other foot? Ian not allowing Anthony to paint himself in a bad light by saying this was the first time he ever showed support to Ian publicly. I agree with Ian that it definitely isn’t the first time over the years but obviously the ‘between years’ caused a big gap and the years before I think it’s clear from what Anthony said in the journal video about not praising Ian enough in the past that he feels bad about that and it’s why he’s so vocal now in supporting him - to make up for that.

Anthony: “It’s [the tweet] something like ‘daddy likey the blingy’.”

Not Anthony lying to try and save face 🤭 he knows exactly what he said! That man remembers the most random, minuet details about things - especially when it comes to Ian. He just doesn’t want to admit he has a thing for calling Ian ‘daddy’ 😏 it’s okay Anthony, you can embrace it, we get it.

EVIL AI TRIED TO KILL ME! Watch Party

Someone in chat congratulations Anthony for being nominated for a Streamy and the boys talk about how they’ve got suits for it and then proceed to go back and forth saying how ‘good’ and ‘hot’ they’re going to look - Which indeed they did 😍

Someone in chat then asks if their suits are matching.

Anthony: “Matching suits? No they’re not matching. But they do look really good together though. They vibe well together.

I don’t think that’s the suits Anthony, I mean they help, but that’s all Ian and you. They look good and they vibe well together 😌

Anways, that was just a fun little one!

Moving on…

Ian ‘Cupid Shuffle’ Hecox

Ian blessed us with this Instagram post of him busting a move and looking 🔥 at Kimmy’s wedding :-

And of course Anthony couldn’t help himself :-

Streamys 2023

We didn’t really get much from the Streamys (not even Anthony winning 😤) but there was one little moment that happened early on in the show where they mentioned OG YouTubers and a clip of Ian from Food Battle 2012 where it looks like he’s doing ‘questionable things’ to a doughnut plays on screen.

Now obviously I don’t know how Ian felt in that moment having that play, but I think anyone would feel a little under the spotlight, especially given the context of the clip and how for people who’ve never seen FB or Smosh it must have been fairly confusing lol.

But no worry, because Ian’s no1 fan was sitting right there next to him. From the audience, over the people laughing and a few claps, you just hear Anthony’s voice yell “YEAH!” with his hand raised in the air :-

Always there to be Ian’s cheerleader 🥹

Anthony Plays Smosh Hide and Seek

So this was just a silly little moment, that again is more compliment-adjacent but still thought it deserved a little shoutout to close out the month.

In the hide and seek video Anthony and Ian are down to the last remaining few people to try and find - one of those being Chanse. Earlier in the video Anthony had checked the clothing racks and not found anyone - Ian wanted to allow him to seek his own as it was his game, but since they were having to re-check where they’d already been Ian decided to help him out, and low and behold, he found Chanse 😆

Anthony couldn’t believe he’d missed him!

Anthony: “That was such a good spot, holy shit! And your feet being in this bucket - holy shit! I would have never found you. Ian, damn, you found him!”

Literally just thought this was cute of Anthony giving Ian the recognition of finding him and that he wouldn’t have been able to without him. That’s all. Have no more thoughts on this one lol.

And so August slipped away into a moment in time…

Hope you enjoyed reading and I shall see you next time!

[thesassywitchofthenortheast]

A HC thats currently making me giggle:

Lucy and Tamara drag Tim to the Eras tour (idk if they’re fans but for the sake of this hc they are okay? Okay.)

The dress up, maybe not as extra as some swifties but they do. Lucy puts Tim in a shirt that says “Heartbreak Prince”

They teach him the chants. He hates it

He continuously questions why he’s being dragged to the concert when they can just go together

Lucy just says “cause I want to go with you, too.”

Angela teases him endlessly, “if you just learned to say no to Lucy this wouldn’t be a problem”

Tim huffs. Cause she’s right but he literally can’t do that. Say no to Lucy? When she asks him with that smile and eyes? Never happening. He just needs to accept his fate.

When the day comes and they arrive at SoFi, he grumbles “Never thought I’d be here for anything other than a Rams game.”

Lucy looks at him with a smirk “Yeah well, you also never thought you’d be dating and in love with your former rookie, but here we are.”

Tamara laughs

He tries to he grumpy but seeing how excited and happy Lucy and Tamara are is making it hard

He takes a bunch of pictures for them

A tiny human comes up to him before the show, asks if he wants to trade friendship bracelets. He looks at Lucy who hands him one to trade. He gets down to tiny human’s level and trades bracelets. Lucy practically melts at the interaction

They talk with some officers they know who are there doing security or whatever you call it

When they get to their seats, Tim is adamant that if the, his, girls need anything — food, drinks, merch — he’ll go get it so they don’t have to miss anything.

That earns him a kiss from Lucy

And an eye roll from the puppy

The concert starts, and he watches Lucy the entire time. His heart hurting in that really good Lucy way as he watches how happy she is.

And then rolls his eyes when Taylor comes out and actually starts singing Miss Americana and the Heartbreak Prince — because now he understands his shirt.

Cruel Summer starts and Tim definitely does not scream the bridge like Lucy and Tamara, but he doesn’t not sing along either… but he’ll never confirm that.

Tamara takes a really cute candid of Chenford during Lover, their arms around each other and her singing softly.

By the end of the Evermore section, Tim is most definitely not having a good time. Nope he’s totally not enjoying himself lol

Idk what the surprise songs would be, but his does laugh at Lucy’s reaction

And again when she covers his eyes during Vigilante Shit.

He whispers to her “you can always do a performance like that for me later.”

Tamara fake gags

Lucy blushes

Come the end, aka Karma, he’s full on dancing with Lucy

He’s back to his grumpy self when they hit the seemingly never ending traffic to leave the stadium.

And the realization that all the glitter than in Lucy and Tamara’s hair is now all over his trunk

But he doesn’t really mind because they’re both happy and had a great time and it’s worth it

And when Angela asks Lucy the next day how it was, she smirks at Tim who just looks at his gf with the biggest heart eyes as she recounts their night

And then when he rolls his eyes and tries to deny he had a good time because she knows he did — but will never admit it.

Years later, when he and Lucy have a daughter, he takes them both to another concert but this time he’s a full swiftie dad and isn’t afraid to show it

[tame-a-messenger]

One thing I love about Angela is that she always makes fun of Damien for being a nerd but whenever he plays nerdy type games on the channel, she’s in the video with nerding out with him 🤣 (fools blade, dnd, betrayal, etc)

I knowww! she's such a sucker lol! I think it's her way of egging him on, like she wants him to stand up for himself, so he can get comfortable around her. Atleast that's how I see it.

It's obvious she's just as big of a nerd about other things, She sounded like a big Swiftie in the Who Memed it? with Anthony, and I'd say being heavily interested in something would make you a nerd for that special interest?

I think her calling him a nerd for things is more of her letting him know she doesn't know anything about what he's talking about while still playing with him, rather than her trying to rag on him about it.

Atleast that's what it seems like to me. Because that's what I do too lol

[lesbiansayaishii]

Idk who your current ships are but can I request like best friend brengela (I think that’s their ship name lmao) with fluff number 9?!☺️💞

9. “Can you sing that song for me again?”

or

forgotten paperwork and cardigans

Temperance Brennan walked through the Jeffersonian to drop off some paperwork for Angela before she went home for the night. She rounded the corner, sighing slightly, but as soft music reached her ears, she slowed.

"...an old cardigan under someone's bed...you put me on and said I was your favorite..."

Brennan paused in the doorway, hand poised to knock on the doorframe, catching the ending notes of an unfamiliar song. Wistful. And so quiet she almost missed it. It was...Angela singing. Angela sang?

True to her senses, there was Angela sitting alone in her office, a cardigan draped over her shoulders, one earbud in her ear, staring off into space in the direction of the now dark window.

She knocked on the door and Angela jumped, turning with a start, a hand flying to her mouth before she saw that it was Brennan. She chuckled slightly, relaxing. "Oh, it's only you, Bren. You scared me, standing there so quietly." At the still slightly dumbfounded look on Brennan's face, she pushed gently. "Did you need something?"

Brennan focused with a start. The paperwork. She was dropping off the paperwork. "I was just bringing you..." She changed tactics. "Can you...sing that song for me again?"

Angela shook her head, smiling. "Oh, I don't sing."

"But you do. I just heard you. I think I liked it."

Angela raised an eyebrow at the blunt statement, a puzzled smile on her lips. "Sweetie, I didn't know you were into Taylor Swift."

Brennan smiled then, too. "I'm...not. I don't even know who that is, but I liked how you sang the song."

"Cardigan."

"Cardigan," Brennan acknowledged. "Will you sing it again?"

Angela nodded slowly. "I have a couple things to finish up before I leave. If you want, you can sit in here and listen to me sing while I finish up? If you don't have any plans tonight," she teased, knowing full well that Brennan hardly ever had plans after work.

Brennan smiled then, dropping the paperwork on Angela's desk and sitting on the couch. And after a moment, Angela began to sing softly.

"Vintage tee, brand new phone..."

2020 Gratitude Notes

Everyone’s been doing this, and I want to spread some positivity too, so here are the wonderful people I have met this year, who mean so, so much to me. This isn’t in a particular order, but just know that you’re all so loved and appreciated!

Thank you for being such lovely people. I’m so glad to have met you all this year because you all truly filled my year with so much joy and happiness.

~~~

@saysomethingspiderman Ciara! 💓 My very first tumblr bestie. I don’t even remember how we started talking, but I’m so glad that we did. I think I’ve spent all of quarantine talking to you, and it’s been incredible. I’m so glad to call you my friend; I’d dare to even say you’re like a cool older sister to me (acting as if I don’t have two older sisters already lmao). You make me feel like I’m sitting at the cool kid’s table at lunch, but it’s only us- we’re the only ones there (probably because you’re a theater nerd so you scare everyone away). Thank you for always brightening my day with your random Hamilton songs and your chunky sweaters (tell your dog i said hi).

@duskholland Hannah! 💓 I am so grateful that tumblr refreshed and I lost your fic halfway through reading it because that was how I really discovered you. I think me DMing you about how incredible that fic was (y’all NEED to read it, it’s my emotional support Peter fic, found here) was the very first time I actually did something like that. That’s how moved I was by your writing, and you’ve never ceased to amaze me. I really feel like you’re my twin sister (but you’re the cooler one) and that you and I were meant to be friends. I’m so glad that you hopped on over to the Tom fandom. Although I’m sometimes intimidated by you, I wish I could meet you one day (not via Animal Crossing). Thank you for always being down to discuss how cute Peter from Bake Off, and thank you for always being there to hear my shitty fic ideas.

@theamazingtomholland Abby! 💓 You called me a sister in your post and I’ve never been happier to have a mutual call me that. I don’t even remember quite when we met, all those months ago, but I know that I had met someone special, and it didn’t take long for us to open up to each other. I learn so much from you, you have know idea. You’re truly one of a kind. Also, I love how much you love Golden Bullets/Hearts. Thank you for always being there for me (and for somehow always knowing how to trigger my mom friend reflex haha).

@etoileholland Cordelia! 💓 I’d write this in French, but you and I both know I don’t speak it and French is your aesthetic. You are the epitome of a French sunflower (are those even a thing?) because you bring so much joy and happiness wherever you go. You just radiate this purely positive vibe. Thank you for talking to me that one time when I was drunk and no one else was online (it made my night to talk to you!), and thank you for introducing me to the glory that is Derry Girls, a.k.a. my dad’s favorite show that we may or may not be rewatching already…

@geminiparkers Chloe! 💓 I admire you so much. You are so genuine in all that you say and do, and you are an incredible resource for finding fics (it’s phenomenal). I think I can speak for a lot of authors here when I say that your work is cherished and appreciated so much; it really gives readers a way of discovering new authors. I also loveee being a part of your tom’s histor-whores group. It makes me feel special. I also love being told when a certain someone does something wrong… like not knowing what a grilled cheese is or buying the wrong Snapple… Thank you for always being a source of incredible fics, incredible humor, incredible fic recs, and incredible history memes.

@lukeysdimples Valeska! 💓 You are quite literally the only 5SOS blog I follow, and I love your content, but I love talking to you as a person too. You’re one of the most interesting people that I’ve ever met (well, virtually, i mean, ya know). I learn something new from you every day, and I hope if we meet one day, that you can show me all the good food that I’ve heard so much about from you (like cow tongue haha, i’m serious i want to try it!). Thank you for always being someone that I know I can trust with anything and everything. 

@fallinfortom Adeline! 💓 I don’t even know if you’ll see this, but I miss you on here! Tumblr’s just not the same without your presence. I remember first talking to you back in the springtime, and I don’t know if you know, but I was so intimidated by you. I thought you were this amazing and cool blog, and that you were definitely out of my league mutual wise. You’ve been one of my most consistent friends on here, and I really do feel like you’re my older sister in a way. I hope you and your fam are doing well! Thank you for always being yourself and for having your blog always be a warm, friendly environment.

@milfzaynmalik Zoey! 💓 I never know your username because you change it so much, but I love the guessing game that it is. You keep me on my toes with your changes, but it’s so worth it because your blog truly grows with you as an individual. Although I’m a Louis girl at heart, I love and appreciate your Harry Styles content. I also love how genuine and open you are with every aspect of your blog. Thank you for always being so kind to me (and for always being down to shit on Larries hehe).

@unsaidholland Lys! 💓 You were the first person to introduce me to the fic-side of loving the adorable Harry Holland. I love being able to talk to you about the randomest things, and I really appreciate how kindhearted you are. You’re never afraid to stand up for your friends, and that’s a trait I really admire. Thank you for being a Harry Holland-loving positive force in my life.

@devildisguiseasangel Angela! 💓 My Swiftie bestie! I am so, so glad to have met you. You are always leaving the brightest comments on my works, and I will always appreciate your love and support for my fics, specifically the ones inspired by Taylor songs. You are always there for me, and you’re always the first one to check up on me if I’ve been away or made some sad post about my life. Thank you for your constant support and for being a literal ray of sunshine in my life.

[brettthesimmer]

hey! Red (Taylor's Version) is coming out on Nov 12th, so I figured why not make a post about what albums I think some of the pleasantview premades would like.

Lilith Pleasant says she's a rep stan because it makes sense for her, but she secretly loves Speak Now and listens to it religiously.

Angela Pleasant likes evermore and folklore, and sometimes Lover.

Don Lothario had never told any one but he loves Taylor Swift. His favourite album is Fearless. Sometimes he forgets to listen to the re-recorded version.

Daniel Pleasant actively hates on Taylor but vibes silently when she comes on the radio.

Mary-Sue loves 1989, but she's not really a big fan of Taylor Swift, she just likes some of her music.

Kaylynn Langerak is a huge swiftie and is one of those fans that make everything into an easter egg. Her favourite album is Red.

As for the Calientes, Dina likes Speak Now and Nina likes folklore and Red.
