My fave RFK Jr. campaign ad was the one where he rambled about "organic pest control" while ladybugs crawled all over him. It looked low-res because every RFK Jr. campaign ad looks and sounds like a VHS tape you find in a valley after hikers go missing.

People will be debating what he was for many years to come. Is he the Kennedy Curse embodied into a man? Was he Randall Flagg? Was he some sort of congealed mass of the country's runaway id, a kind of Armus for American? Is he, as Dante wrote about in Dante's book, Dante's Inferno, someone whose soul went to Heck before he died so his body could be puppetered by some kind of demon? Is he some kind of omen of doom? Underneath, is he made of locusts?

All are valid possibilities, but all we know is that there was a guy who ran for President who apparently likes to attract swarms of vermin & to skin wildlife he kills to see what they look like on the inside, and who blithely uploaded campaign ads that visibly showed his own supporters repulsed and unsettled by what he's saying. May we live to see his like again

Okay yes to all of these but also when Will and Hannibal are "assessing" Randall Tiers' mutilated body together at the crime scene and they're flirting so hard and Jack is so tired

List of times that Hannibal and/or Will were definitely horny

When Hannibal is wrist deep in that guy in the ambulance and Will is watching like he also wants Hannibal to be wrist deep in him

After Will gets out of prison, when he corners Hannibal in his kitchen with a gun to his head and they're both hoping that a bullet isn't all Will is going to put in him

When Will started therapy again and they were talking about Will killing Hannibal with his bare hands and Will licks his lips and says "I don't want to kill you anymore Dr. Lecter, not now that I finally find you interesting" but they were both obviously thinking there were other interesting things Will could do with his bare hands

When Will and Hannibal were talking in Hannibal's office after Tobias tried to kill him (although this is less horny and more of them both looking like "I need to lay him out and explore his scars old and new and create scars of my own. I'm the only one capable of properly worshipping him.")

When Hannibal goes to hand Will the knife in the scene where Will provides the meat from "Freddie" and Will is very clearly not looking at Hannibal's face but somewhere lower.

In the barn when Hannibal stops Will from killing Clark Ingram and Hannibal is talking about Will emerging from the chrysalis and hoping Will will come out in more ways than one.

Please feel free to add to this list!

Would love some recs for queer books centering on fandom or nerd culture if you've got 'em! Especially YA, but I'll take any age category!

Oh this is such a love of mine. First of all, if you haven’t read MK England, you are in for a treat - check out their Romance under Remi K. England, The One True Me and You, and their upcoming Roll for Love. Christen Randall’s The No-Girlfriend Rule was a big fave of mine this year, and def also try Queens of Geek by Jen Wilde, My Year Zero by Rachel Gold, Looking for Group by Alexis Hall, and, for a thriller, Even if We Break by Marieke Nijkamp.

Less nerd culture but heavier on fandom, two huuuuuge faves of mine are Beating Heart Baby by Lio Min and How to Repair a Mechanical Heart by J.C. Lillis. Like all-time, please do not miss them faves. I also really liked Starworld by Audrey Coulthurst and Paula Garner (but know that it is not a Romance!) and I haven’t read The Princess and the Fangirl by Ashley Poston, but it’s def a good fit and I loved Geekerella, which came first but wasn’t queer.

The things I wanna see in Season 3 of Monsters at work!

More Duncan

Johnny's redemption and so he could come back to his family

And last I wanna see Boo again!

What I don't wanna see.

Bathroom/toilet jokes or I gonna vomit or get disgust.

Don't wanna any intimacy, I can't take it in any of media or books blah. I'm feeling more comfortable with brotps. :( (That's my opinion so don't pay much attention on this one.)

Randall dies. I don't wanna him to die nevertheless but I guess he could die in Season 3.

Extra 2.0 OC Favorites!

Let's go with Tristan Mallory and Randall Sloanne from Crash Stardom! for this one (:

Rules: share photos of your OCs' favorite color, season, shoe choice, weapon, food & drink, clothing style, mode of transportation, animal, pastime, and breakfast and if they're an introvert/ambivert/extrovert then change up any one of the five favorite things categories for the next round. BONUS: Add some music/songs that fit their aesthetic (the songs don't have to be their favorite songs, just fit their vibe)!

Tristan Mallory

Favorites:

Color: Pastel Shock Pink with a hint of Purple

Season: Summer

Shoe Choice: Stylish combat-style boots dyed lilac with sturdy black heels, which is both his shoe choice for singing on the stage and for daily stuff.

Weapon: An embezzled pepper spray that also has a taser function

Food: Pepperoni Pizza with extra cheese

Drink: Cold soda

Style: Fashionably loose button up shirts, usually in the color black, dark grey or bright pink, under a smooth black leather jacket and impeccably tailored trousers with a delicate belt.

Mode of Transportation: His white convertible with leather seats

Animal: Not really his favorite animal, but one I associate a lot with him - the deer. (Deers often symbolize grace, beauty, strength, and protection, all of which are traits Tristan embodies in one way or another)

Pastime: Movie nights with Noah (and also writing music in the quiet of his room but there wasn't space for a second photo so I just went with his number 1 fave lol)

Breakfast: Corn flake cereal with whole milk

Personality: Extrovert

Animal: Orcas. Fun Fact! He is an Abissian, and his True Form (when he isn't using a human disguise) is based off of the orca whales/killer whales, so he kind of is an Orca!

Breakfast: Fish Sticks

Personality: Introvert

do you have nonfiction book recs? either all time/go-to recs or things that feel important/timely to you right now? i want to read more nonfiction & you seem like someone who would have good recommendations

Hey, so I have given non-fiction recommendations before, which will include most of the important or all-time faves, but I'm happy to talk about what I'm reading more recently!

Full disclosure, I tend to read 10-20 books all at once very slowly, and I also tend to read weird, obscure books that weren't in good enough condition to get sent into prisons. Non-fiction I'm working on now:

Men, Women, and Chainsaws: gender in the modern horror film by Carol J. Clover - not very timely but SO interesting oh my god

The Tao of Statistics: a path to understanding (with no math) by Dana K. Keller - for learning vibes-based statistics

What If? 2 by Randall Munroe - the most fun you'll ever have reading about science, also great for reading before bed

Union: the struggle to forge the story of United States nationhood by Colin Woodard - CWood is my BOY for historical analysis

Health Communism: a surplus manifesto by Beatrice Adler-Bolton and Artie Vierkant - this one is really timely and important and also SUPER dense and actually requires an attention span so actually I'm having my dad read it and then deliver long, rambling lectures to me about what he's read, which probably takes longer than it would to just read it myself, but it's good father-daughter bonding

In the Light of Justice: the rise of human rights in Native America and the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples by Walter R. Echo-Hawk - I just started this one, but I'm told it does a good job of focusing on modern realities of indigenous justice as impacted by historical evils

Resistance, Rebellion, and Death by Albert Camus - because the issues we're dealing with in society aren't new and letters written during WWII are still relevant to politics today

thjoughts on clive. love from clive

Long post inkoming

Omd guys it's my twin?!? Anyways oh boy I h-h-HATE that guy... He's so 🤢🤢🤢UGGLY and B-BAD😡😡😡

Okay but in all seriousness bro I adore him more then y'all could know. Well uh ppl who follow this hmmm mysterious anon who I definitely don't know now know what the degree of Clive brain rot I have (can't mention it here but if you know you know). But like

I knew Clive would get me as soon as I found out who he was. So for context, Luke is the reason I started playing the PL series. Anyone who knows me personally would know how me bait Luke is, I am VERY predictable. So when I learned there was this guy who had the grand plan of pretending to be Luke from the future to infiltrate Layton's life I was like oooo boy (also yes I unfortunately didn't get to go into UF blind) . What rlly marked my Clive journey's real start was definitely learning his name. Clive Dove. I got the spoiler of bruvs name from when my dear mutual reblogged q picture of him with the Clive Dove tag on it and I was like "bro... HIS NAME IS CLIVE?!?!?!?". Then the devolvation into madness really started. Uh insert discord screenshots

When it comes to head cannons though I will definitely say we all know Clive is trans fr. When it comes to my specific trans HCs for them I really enjoy transfem Clive (its a comfort hc 4 me) but when I'm doing stuff like officially like my official HCs that I stick closer too transmasc Clive. Why? Layton parallels. My whole life is fighting to make as many parallels between the two as I can mate it's a problem. It's just too interesting to me.

Other HC wise uhhh CLIVE HAS FRECKLES FIGHT ME I love planting subtle inconsistencies between him and Luke sm.

When it comes to drawing Clive I will definitely say I do enjoy drawing him more than Luke namely due to him having a tie😱😱.

My biggest struggle in drawing him prolly uhhh the freckles I curse myself with along with just his color palette ig. I can never decide how dark I want his hair to be. But tbf I do just have inconsistent coloring in my art sooo what can you do.

Other stuff to talk about with this awful man.... OH RIGHT! I'm STILL not over him being British Yuri Lowenthal like bro💀. It's so bad randall is also British Yuri Lowenthal like stawppp💀. Anyone who knows about me and my interests knows that I have a trying relationship with Yuri Lowenthal. Clive atp is prolly my fav Yuri Lowenthal character but I don't think he can take up the og for my fave yuri lowenthal voice performance (I LOVE YOSUKE!!!!)

If I'd have to pick like my favorite Clive thing... Probably still Sallufix's 'This Hurts' animation holy shit that thing is so good. The fact that tumblr user sallufix is my mutual still baffles me I am so in love with and enchanted by their work like hold shit they are like... The Clive drawer of all time to me. Also uh he made Envicto and I am obsessed with that man to no end no one even knows.

Anyways funny pictures to leave this post off with

This first one is my fave, it's my banner on my alt I still haven't used yet 🤎

Secondly we have this screen shot of someone saying "why would Goro Akechi lie" which I replaced with Clive dove (the I get in ubers and start lying one was also originally Akechi). May I note I'm surprised but also glad that I don't see many Clive Akechi parallel truthers

And finally the picture that I made to match with my friend the other night because we thought it was funny idk

[bobmckenzie]

sorry for thinking about which perfumes my f/o's would like best on me it will happen again

[dont-offend-the-bees]

Nine Five people I'd like to get to know better

Tagged by @firstaudrina 🥰💛 Thank you darling!

Last Song: Crystal Caving by Darlingside - went to see them this weekend and they were gorgeous 💛

Favourite Colour: Changes with the tides. In a bit of a green era right now, but often come back to yellow with pink & yellow as a fave combination.

Last Book: I've been in a bit of a slower reading stage for a few months now, sort of picking at several different books, but the last one I finished was Invisible Monsters by Chuck Palahniuk on the recommendation of bestie @kieren-fucking-walker. Palahniuk's writing style really propels you along and it was appropriately unhinged 💛 I also recently read Bryan Lee O'Malley's latest graphic novel Seconds, which I really enjoyed although the romance subplot turned out to be a bit underbaked and it kinda lesbian-baited me a little 😅

Last Movie: Me and the folks just watched Ferris Bueller's Day Off, an all-time favourite. And now that I've got some space to myself I treated myself to a Jaws night 🥰🥰🥰

Last TV Show: Just been watching some Randall and Hopkirk (Deceased) because it's an old fave of mum's. The show I'm chugging along through myself atm is good ol' Hatecrimes House MD.

Sweet/Spicy/Savoury: Mostly savoury, but got a real sweet tooth for fresh fruit

Relationship Status: Single and too lazy/awkward to do nought about it </3 Fellow fags come flirt with me

Last Thing I Googled: em9 ukulele - I keep forgetting to make a note of the shapes of the more niche chords and having to go look 'em up

Current Obsession: 'Tis still Saw 😔 Feel free to ask me for my horror/Saw fic sideblog but only if you can be trusted with my secret identity and dark/kinkfic lmao

Looking Forward To: I have a trip to London planned and I'm gonna see some friends and some mutuals and I'm going to wear my stupid dinosaur shirt (it's a white tee with a T-Rex and the word FASCINATING printed above it) and draw the critters in the Natural History Museum. Also looking forward to having my big room revamp done, my cosy bed nook is basically there but now there's more furniture to customise! And of course I'm looking forward to some more changes, I'm one month on T and counting - gonna have the nastiest little rat moustache 🥰💛

I'm gonna tag @evilphrog @girl-bateman @theflirtmeister @motherdanger @captainclickycat and anyone else who feels like sharing, consider yourself tagged!

[idkanymoretbf]

my honest analysis on ballon d'or from 30 to 21:

30. ruben dias - they robbed him, he was the best cb last season, deserves at least top 20

29. martin odegaard - i feel like this is perfect place for him ngl

28. randal kolo muani - i'll be honest he deserves to be on the 30th place (not a bad player at all it's just that the others who were nominated were better)

27. nicolo barella - i don't whatch inter milan that much, but the highlights i saw of him were amazing, an inredible cm.

26. jamal musiala - deserves higher imo because he had an amazing season but ok

25. josko gvardiol - had a good world cup but how is he over ruben lol

24. bukayo saka - i think he's really talented and i love him but some of the players above deserves a better place than him

23. andre onana - as i said, i don't watch inter milan usually but how on earth is he nominated and mats isn't?

22. kim min-jae - top 3 cbs last season, well deserved

21. antoine griezmann - i don't care if he deserves or not i will always root for him. one of the best in our gen.

btw this is just my opinion, don't get mad if i roasted your fave a little bit! 🙏

[101flavoursofweird]

How about Henry Ledore with 20, 21 and 23 for the character ask game?

((Sorry for the delay!))

20. Which other character is the ideal best friend for this character, the amount of screentime they share doesn't matter?

Henry & Angela. Henry & Angela. HENRY & ANGELA, my beloveds. My wonderful (sometimes platonic/sometimes romantic) ship. My fake married friends—

The relationships between all members of the Stansbury gang feel so rich and deep and there’s so much history and angst, but these were the two who STUCK TOGETHER.

They care about each so much, regardless of romantic feelings or not. 

No matter what, Henry loved Angela. He gave her a choice and a place to live when her parents decided she HAD to marry someone she didn’t love. He wanted to spend his life with Angela, searching for Randall.

No matter what, Angela loved Henry. She didn’t turn her back on him, even when Mr. Ascot disowned him. (I fully believe Angela let Henry stay with her family in Stansbury.) So many people gave up on finding Randall alive — Randall fell in a hole, can you blame them?— or they did agree to help find Randall for the reward money. Angela didn’t stay with Henry for money, even though he could provide for her. She stayed with him because she believed in Randall and she believed in Henry and Henry shouldn’t have to search for Randall alone. She stayed even though she could see the strain that the search and the Mask of Chaos/Masked Gentleman was having on Henry. (Even when he was acting coldly, she stayed with him.) She stayed because she loved Henry. 

Randall & Henry, or Hershel & Henry or Dalston & Henry are all interesting and have their touching moments too, but Henry & Angela stuck together for eighteen years.

21. If you're a fic writer and have written for this character, what's your favorite thing to do when you're writing for this character? What's something you don't like?

Henry is just… one of the most self-sacrificing characters in the series. (And most of my faves are self-sacrificing.) I love the loyalty, the dedication and the angst that comes with Henry. Also, it’s hilarious writing for pre-MM Henry when he’s so cold and RUDE to anyone outside of Angela and Mrs Ascot. He’s especially rude to Dalston. Even to LAYTON.

Sometimes I second guess myself if I’m writing dialogue for Pre-MM Henry and I think, “That’s a bit mean… Would Henry really say that to Alphonse Dalston? To his childhood friend? How could one of my favourite characters be so mean?”

And the answer is… Yes. Yes Henry could. He totally would. And it’s hilarious. I get why Henry acted like that, but he’s still mean and it’s hilarious. 

For something I don’t like… Personally I find it difficult writing about Henry’s interactions with Randall’s parents. According to Hershel’s journal, Henry was dismissed from the Ascot household. They dismissed the boy who’s worked (and presumably) lived with them since childhood. Their son’s childhood friend, who they almost saw as a second son. It’s easy to pin the entirety of the blame on Mr. Ascot for this, since we never see him and we know he’s somewhat strict from what Randall says about him. But I’m always kind of side-eyeing Mrs. Ascot in the scenes she’s in because… She was the lady of Ascot Manor. Maybe, as a lady in Old Timey England she couldn’t argue with Mr. Ascot’s decision to dismiss Henry (which I could take as a headcanon) but still… I’m giving her the side-eye.

23. Favorite picture of this character?

The rare pictures of when he’s smiling :D

[c00kie-d0e]

HEADCANONS and stuff FOR MY SAUCVAU

(Self Aware Uncanny Valley AU)

This is an AU where all the game characters (John, You, Maison) become self aware.

You is my OC because idk what You looks like in the game lol

I made this so I can organize my thoughts and plan things like fanfics, animatics and stuff hehe

This gets updated a lot bc I change my mind frequently lmao I don't really take this seriously it's just a funny thing I made for one of my fave games!

maybe in this Canon Divergence AU whatever shit, John is aware of their fan base and that's why they work so hard to get to You in the game. because You is like the bridge between his world and his fans world.

does Doe really love You? or is she in love with the physical real beings controlling You that makes him feel less alone (the players)

I feel like they'll have a platonic friendship outside of the game, because Doe is more interested in The Player themself. I also wanna see what John's personality is like aside from being in love

Relationships:

Doe must want to get out of his "reality": people think she is a common pest, and his house is so messed up bc he probably has no one looking after them :( Maybe they want a way to escape her reality and thats why they r so in love with the Players???

You is just a placeholder character for the Player, and they can be mind controlled. Aside from that, they have their own personality, their own life, and dreams. You will go by they/she ig or any pronouns tbh bc they r supposed to be a stand-in for anyone playing the game

You has this barbie aesthetic and blue theme to complement Doe's emo aesthetic and red theme because THAT'S SO FUCKING FUN TO DRAW EEEEEEEEEEEEEK

MAISON GETS TAZED BY YOU'S MF GLITTER Y2K AESTHETIC SELF DEFENSE TAZER LOL

Maison survives tho, and whenever You and Maison see each other in public, they glare at each other like mean girls

You and Doe prob paint each other's nails while talking about how to break the 4th wall. Doe blabbering on about their crush on the Player while You gets an existential crisis

maybe in the YES ending, You is actually the one controlling your actions, gaining sentience for the first time, and fuckin around saying random shit to freak you out lol

The timeloops in this AU are controlled by the Player. they happen everytime you start a new game. because that's really what happens: You is put in the same situation every single day because we keep replaying the game!!

maybe the reason this game looks like it takes place in the 2000s (You's phone) is because it's forever stuck in a timeloop even though our world is advancing

Since Purple RPG exists in the John Doe universe, and we play as randall (I think idk I haven't played the game yet), does that mean there are multiple people The Player can control? As in... Multiple "You"s? Then who is the person we are playing as in John Doe and House Hunted? Dundundunnnn

While Doe and You plan to escape, Maison can't because his true body is bound to Uncanny Valley (he is literally a house) so he tries to get the Player to come to him instead

Doe can definitely tell the difference between You and The Player controlling You. You is way more impulsive, clever and joking, while The Player controlling You acts more robotic in their body language and has limited responses, usually "YES" or "NO"

John Doe will still be clingy, because she never really had a friend before, not counting the eyebirds he feeds

Their friendship dynamic might be "Idiot & Idiot in Progress", "I'm Gonna do Evil & Don't Forget your Knife" or maybe even "I Love Him, He's Different & BITCH NO YOU DON'T"
