"she left you, didn't she? for a man that's exactly the same"

zach's ability to come out with devastating lines in an otherwise deeply silly riff remains unparalleled

im not even a theatre kid but the aunty donna podcast episode 165 - the tin roof shed ft. honor wolff is literally a comfort movie to me because of how perfect a piece of satire on australian theatre it is. ive yet to find a funnier and more perfect pastiche of australian lit, it's fucking impeccable.

[2entangledworms]

wait so you're the person posting the Kim Wormler fan art on twitter, right? I'm so stupid, it took me this long to figure it out.

Seriously though. What's with the worms? Cus they're slimy?

"Entangled" I'm not going to argue with. That part I immediately understand.

Hahahah omg I wish lmao, I actually haven't seen that but it definitely sounds like my kind of thing

The actual origin of my name is this podcast episode where one of the hosts goes on several insanely high-energy improvised rants, in one part of the episode he is trying to find our what "the secret" is, and he suggests that maybe the secret is that if you get two worms, and put them together, you end up with a june bug

Donna: where's Walls?

Dick, on comms: hey, where are you Wally.

Wally: at the mission sight, where are you?

Roy, confused: at the mission sight... Where the fuck are you.

Wally: I'm at the mission sight in Guam.

The Titans:

Garth: but the mission is in Missouri... Your state.

Wally: first of all, not my state I am independent and don't need a state, and second why are you in Missouri?

Roy: because that's where the damn mission is dumbass!

Wally: welp.

Dick: how did you get Guam out of Missouri?

Wally: I ran out of the stuff to make my ADHD medication because B took my stuff because it's "illegal" to make high grade Adderall for speedsters and it would "look bad" for an honorary lj member to do drug making in my own garage, which is so stupid because auntie literally killed people and what's why she has less villains than us, but no, ADHD Walter White is too much, *goes on a rant that slowly lost the plot*

Dick: okay well, we have a solo podcast on let's just... Get this done.

After everything

Wally, is home now: and that why we should just let me get the big hamster wheel, think about the electricity I could generate and my enrichment!

Roy: I'm beating up B for this.

Dick: aw but it's so cute, he yapping so cutely! But uh do get his meds he needs those.

Roy, getting Dick's crowbar: you got it boss.

2023: The year of all time

This felt like the first year post-COVID where things really kicked into high gear for me personally. My new year's resolution was that I would go out and have fun for once.

And had fun I did.

I did some voicework reading for a story podcast, I went to a bunch of amazing concerts (nothing beats seeing Weird Al for my birthday!), and I sorted out a bunch of RL stuff and put a neat little bow on it. Thank goodness.

But fuck all that sappy shit: Here's a small collection of things I really enjoyed this year!

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse: An excellent sequel to a seemingly unfollow-uppable first film. Takes everything from ITSV, and amps it up to twenty with a stunning visual style, a sonically fitting soundtrack, and a meta-commentary on the nature of Spider-Man's character and whether they really deserve all the tragedy thrown at them.

Aunty Donna's Coffee Cafe: The guys who made Pud did another show, this time with funding from the Australian Government! While stripped back in its setting, they continue to provide the same stupid bullshit that put me into laughing fits as they did with their Netflix show. Haven't they done well.

Scott Pilgrim Takes Off: I think when people heard about "An animated Scott Pilgrim show with the live-action cast and Edgar Wright producing", they did not expect "A proper dissection of Ramona Flowers' character and her motivations, as well as her own journey of forgiving the Evil Exes. Also lots of yaoi." Scott Pilgrim continues to dominate as the premier "guy learns not to be a shithead" franchise.

Red Hot Chili Peppers - Live in Accor Stadium: The Peppers prove their pertained power as performers by playing the purest psalms in their prospectus from the past 35 years (eugh, what a mouthful). Flea came out, did a 30-second handstand, waved and said hello to the moon and then got up some people littering in the crowd. Their life is more than just a read-through.

Caroline Polachek - Desire, I Want to Turn Into You: I had absolutely no clue who Caroline was before I listened to this album. I now realise that she might just be the person that pop needs right now. A soaring collection of songs destined to become classics down the line, like a greatest hits compilation that doesn't exist. We're all on Caroline's island, and we ain't leaving.

Bomb Rush Cyberfunk: I kept my eye on this game as it was developing, and it was absolutely worth it to see it come through in the end. Satisfying gameplay that requires you to learn how to combo to progress, an addicting artstyle inspired by Y2K, and the soundtrack. Holy fuck the soundtrack. I just can't get enuf.

Weird Al Yankovic - TUROTRSIIIVT: Man, what a title. Emu Phillips come out swinging with jokes I did not expect, and then Weird Al comes out aggressively swinging, with all the songs you don't know him for. He then did a polka melody of his parodies, did a ritual halfway through, and then ended the concert on a high note. Only the best from Strange Alfred.

Doctor Who 2023 Specials: That bastard David Tennant returning led me down the rabbit hole known as watching Doctor Who, and did it ever pay off more than these specials. A trans woman saves the day and the Doctor realises he's bi, black, and needs therapy. A magnificent close on a chapter of one of the greatest sci-fis ever, and a bright step into the future.

The Hyperfixation of the Year award goes to none other than

Homestuck, everyone's favourite webcomic! Everyone's.

And I think that's partly because I joined this website to begin with. I probably say this all the time, but leaving Reddit was probably the best decision I could have made at that time. As much as I reminisce, the communities I was in began to get a little stale. Same jokes, same shitposts, a different day. Tumblr in some strange way, is not that. It feels less like a big communal website and more like a collection of small towns spread across a large spot of land. Calm and village-like, you know?

So to all my mutuals, my followers, to the people that liked and reboggled my stinky posts, to all that offered mealworms and crickets in my askbox, thank you. "Gecko Boy" might just be a silly lil joke in the grand scheme of things, but it's a fun joke to play into.

Whatever comes next year, I know I've got the energy to keep going. Have a good 2024 everybody. <3

Hard hitting

Topic change theres a fascinating thing on the aunty donna patreon where theyre playing online nba 2k and it starts with broden warning zach hes gonna get called slurs for playing badly and then they have to blur the chat when some guy does indeed call him a slur. At one point broden also tells zach to butch it up a little and relate on a man to man level and then zach instantly tells a guy like ‘maybe ill be the daphne to your frasier in this basketball game.’ Theres like three very different versions of comedic masculinity going on. I think it has a lot of merit.
