hihi i was wondering what ur favorite nemo fun facts r!

Funny and Interesting Facts About Nemo:

• Master of Escapes: Nemo is incredibly slippery; he’ll always find a way to deceive or escape.

• Close Encounters: Nemo isn’t afraid to get up close and personal with his enemies, but there’s always a reason. For example, when he gets close to Tim, Batman, or others, it’s usually to snatch something useful for his escape or to throw them off mentally. His skill in pickpocketing is almost professional.

• Fear of Damian: The person Nemo fears most in the Batfamily is Damian. Perhaps because he sees too much of himself in the kid. He avoids fighting Damian and especially hates the idea of hitting a child.

• Cigarette Smell: The scent of cigarettes reminds Nemo of his father, which might be why he started smoking at a young age.

• Reginald the Butler: Reginald has been Nemo’s butler and companion for his entire life, caring for him as much as Nemo allows.

• Antonio Alejandro: Nemo cannot stand Antonio Alejandro but pretends they’re friends to use him. Antonio Alejandro genuinely believes they are best friends.

• Emotionally Distant Father: Nemo’s father has always kept an emotional distance, so Nemo doesn’t know what a normal paternal relationship looks like.

• Sheltered Upbringing: Nemo spent most of his life isolated from the outside world, interacting only with adults (bodyguards, household staff, tutors, etc.). As a teenager, he amused himself by stealing from the staff, once obtaining a mobile phone with internet access. Through it, he quickly explored the outside world, discovering Vine, Musical.ly, YouTube, etc., at age 14. Imagine Nemo reacting to internet trends for the first time.

• Clumsy with Heights: He’s hilariously prone to falling off buildings.

• Coffee Addict and Fast Food Fan: Nemo drinks an absurd amount of Starbucks (Caramel Macchiatos) and loves fast food. His favorites are McDonald’s (Deluxe Fries with Deluxe Sauce) and Burger King (Veggie Whopper).

• Terrible with Guns: While Nemo often carries firearms, his aim is laughably bad.

• Social Anxieties: Nemo dislikes interacting with people, and when he must, he puts on a façade of charm and kindness to manipulate those around him. Large gatherings, especially in high society, give him anxiety. Before attending, he’ll chain-smoke an entire pack of cigarettes to mentally prepare for “playing the role” of a model billionaire heir.

• Tim Drake Hyperfixation: Nemo has a hyperfixation on Tim Drake, who constantly interferes with his operations. Yet Nemo treats their confrontations like a game, enjoying the cat-and-mouse dynamic. Tim is aware of this and uses it to his advantage.

• Employee Benefits: If you work for Nemo, you’ll enjoy excellent health and dental insurance. His employees are well-paid and receive full social security benefits. (Yes, it’s hilarious.)

• Motorcycle Enthusiast: While he often rides in cars driven by bodyguards, Nemo prefers traveling by motorcycle.

• Sharp Wit: Nemo is quick on his feet mentally, excelling at sarcasm and witty comebacks. He’s also a master of nicknames.

• Self-Destructive Tendencies: Nemo is willing to do anything, no matter the personal cost, to achieve his goals.

• Piercings: He has piercings on his belly button, lip, and ears. After fights, he often checks to ensure they’re still there.

• Appearance Inspiration: Nemo’s vibe is a mix of electric eel, piranha, and shark.

• Mechanics and Collecting: He’s skilled with mechanics and has a passion for collecting luxury vehicles.

Unpopular opinion:as a Chase fan,I don't like his fanon self much. He seems too... Soft,for the lack of a better word? People seem to erase his harsher edges and bad attitudes in favour of a fragile person who wouldn't survive a second under House.

lmao god his fanfic self is so funny. he’s so sweet and prone to self harm and uwu. like mind you, i also see plenty of stuff on tumblr that’s like “this SPOILED RICH KID who is SO DUMB and SO ENTITLED” and i’m like calm down about that also. i’ve been reading a lot of ffn stuff recently and it’s fascinating to see what was written during the show’s run. chase really does get polished to a shine.

i think it’s easy to make chase soft on the one hand: he cries more on the show than anyone else (love that for him), he’s also kind of quiet. weirdly, i think the cam/chase romance is also a factor: the show pretty consistently… does some interesting things with that ship, but, cameron is generally (if gently/sympathetically) shown to be in the wrong, and chase to be the patient and forgiving boyfriend, right? (and this is because the relationship is shown thru cameron’s pov and lens and in terms of her character development; she gets to Make Mistakes so that she grows; chase is largely just her accessory). and then when she leaves, we get to see him be upset about it, which of course only adds to the uwu pretty sadboy filter.

but yeah! chase is prickly! like post-divorce everyone is being really nice and he is super rude and sarcastic and dismissive. he makes sarcastic little comments constantly. he is prone to sulking and passive-aggression. he wants validation and is kind of needy and when he doesn’t get those things he starts rolling his eyes and making weird comments (”works for spaghetti!”). chase also, i think, thinks… pretty highly of himself? like i don’t think he’s arrogant exactly, he’s no foreman. but he clearly doesn’t struggle with self worth. he knows he’s a good surgeon, he knows he’s got money, he hilariously thinks it’s his personality and not his looks that make women like him. he knows he is very good looking. while that isn’t to say he can’t be insecure (he really can be, at least when cameron is concerned), he isn’t self loathing. he knows he’s good at talking to people and doing his job and being pretty.

he’s pretty good at putting on a charming front when he needs to, but it’s very much a front. one of my favorite little things is that in poison he’s chatting up the patient’s mom, lightly joking, being friendly. she gets him removed from the case and he’s outraged, quote: “She complained? About me?” He is literally so mad that someone wouldn’t like him. he is offended. not hurt. not upset. it makes him angry. he is charming, intentionally, he is doing a strategy (his words), people complain about him? it comes up in the mistake, too; stacy mentions he always gets great patient reviews and foreman complains it’s because chase is fake as hell. and other times! chase is so polite and friendly to house, he is completely dismissive of foreman. he barely manages a polite front to park and masters, he can’t wait to not talk to them. he’s (affectionately) fake as all fucking hell. i love the scene in s5 where foreman/13/kutner want him to do a surgery and chase is like lol you’re not house fuck off. like he’s so dismissive. chase gets accused of having no backbone all the time, but the fact is, he has no issue sticking up for himself or being dismissive. when he likes someone he will do anything and everything with no complaint (see: house, cameron), but he doesn’t really like most people. foreman sure as hell never gets a single favor from chase, lmao.

and then to flip-flop, that isn’t to say he can’t be genuine or soft. like, he definitely bonds with children almost whenever he sees one. he hugs house with no ulterior motives. it’s also not to say he can’t be an uwu sadboy, although whenever he is depressed he tends to cover it with as much avoidance/sarcasm/sleeping around and drinking as possible. but like! the kid has been through a lot in his life! just the fact that he moved around the world and left everything behind is actually pretty tough! he’s had to take care of himself since he was a kid, he had two abusive parents, if he was to have a sadboy breakdown it sure wouldn’t be because of house. he’s a fucking survivor. he ratted to vogler because he would rather house hated him than be unemployed, and had no regrets. he’s great and i love him and he deserves it every time he gets punched in the face or called useless

[gilmoriends]

The twenty beauties of Gilmoriends.

It's about time we give a spotlight to the lovely souls that make up the Gilmoriends. Each of these twenty beauties brings their own sparkle in unity. creating the atmosphere that feels like home. They’re not just pretty faces; they’re funny, easy to tease (in a friendly way, I swear), and... just genuinely funny, really. Let’s dive in and get to know the incredible members who make Gilmoriends what it is!

Let’s start with the three that bring Gilmoriends to life, which none other than Jacqueline, the free spirit who tells it like it is, she is the kind of girl who’ll tell you if your outfit isn’t working (if you need a dose of honesty, she’s your go-to gal!). She’s got a knack for mockery that somehow always manages to make you laugh, never offend you. Second, is Rosemarie, the wise-advice giver with a wicked sense of humor! You can count on her to drop some serious wisdom when you need it—right after she serves you a perfectly timed sarcastic jokes casually like bombshells. Lastly, we have Phoebe, the ultimate cinephile who always armed with film references, also one who competing neck-and-neck with Rosemarie’s sarcasm (it’s a common scene to catch these two picking a fight).

And… drumroll, everyone… here come the new faces that bring Gilmoriends together! Starting with Teyis, the one who keeps us all complaining about how dark her profile is, but honestly, it suits her the most! She’s basically the human equivalent of a cozy night Next up is Bibie, our resident sweetheart and the only westerner in the crew! She’s the one who’s always down for whatever, whether it’s a movie night or a Spotify session. If there’s an activity going on, you can bet she’s right in the middle of it. Then we have Clayie, our meme royalty! Her fingers quicker than a lightning when it comes to editing the funniest video and photo memes to roast the rest of us (don’t worry, she’s our punching bag too, so it’s all in good fun!) also, you’ll never run out of things to discuss with her. And here’s MJ—nope, not Mary Jane or even Zendaya—but her very own MJ! One of our cinephiles making her the perfect movie buddy (also the post-discussion, too). Odes is here to bring the cuteness overload! She’s the friendliest of the bunch, always radiating good vibes that make everyone feel welcome, but still could keep-up with the humor (what a talent!). Then we’ve got Sassy, who we bonded with over playful fights, also an MJ’s (Michael Jackson, not Gilmoriends’ MJ) enthusiast and will not stop talking about him (we secretly love hearing her yap on about it). Meet Qidney, one who sweet and caring but also has a surprising sense of humor that sneaks up on you with random jokes, dropping punchlines like bombshells. Then we have Ophel, the girl who seems like she could be friends with just about everyone, really. Give off the approachable vibe, making it easy to share some jokey moments with her. Aveline, the night owl, is usually awake when the rest of us are snoozing, but also an amazing listener and a wise advisor when you need one! Let’s not forget Tejef, one of the most talkative, ready to chat about anything (not even exaggerating). You could bring up the most uncommon topic, and she’ll be there, ears wide open, ready to engage in a lively discussion. And then there’s Nyxié, our ghost-reader! To summon her from her reading cave, just mention anything related with soccer, and voilà—she’ll appear to join the conversation! Say hi to Acacia, our fun-loving and easygoing spirit! She brings the good vibes and wherever she goes. Also, she looks like she’s got a top-secret list of the finest men on the planet, and she’s not afraid to let it show! And next is Theela! also a football enthusiast and the life of the party! We need to see more of her hilarious side; 'cause we know she’s got the kind of humor that could has us cackling. Asleey, the one bubble that pops and dips forever! But when she does surface, you can expect her to say the sweetest things that make it all worth the wait. Next is Zè, our morning sunshine who radiates friendly vibes that make you feel like you’ve known her forever— definitely someone you want in your corner! And well, Kaluna is the sweetest and calmest of us all. She gives off major little sister energy that just make you want to treat her extra sweetly! Finally, we’ve got Celie, the sweet girl next door. You might not see her around often, but when you do, you know she’s got that kind, gentle spirit that makes her the perfect addition to Gilmoriends!

Matchup Trade for @anni-is-here

↳ Thank you for doing Matchups at Sugutoad

Author Note: Anni! I couldn’t wait to do your matchup but sorry it took so long to do, I had a few things on my plate to do and didn’t have time. But it is here! I was so tempted to give you Sukuna but you had mentioned no curses so I managed to get you the perfect answer after like an hour of brainstorming 😭 and sorry that it is so short…

↳ “ Salmon.”

⨳ TOGE INUMAKI; bright and random bursts of energy / laying your head on his shoulder / the ability to not hold in your laughter / flurries melting with a single warm touch / blaring music, continuing to turn it up when complain are held / steady hand holding your shoulder / chaos /  pink bubblegum deflating when blown / lavender / the shade in which to rest during a hot summer day / lazy grins / white and fluffy clouds slowly drifting away, a cool breeze kissing your face / rain tip tapping outside of an open window, a good book as your onky friend / soft kisses over bruised knuckles and worried glances / an echoing chuckle / vivid memories / inside jokes and stifled laughter 

⨳ Toge? I assume he isn’t the first person that may have come to your mind when sending in your request but that’s the thing with matchups, some answers are always unexpected. That’s what adds the excitement into knowing who you would get in the end. Toge is easily on the more calmer side of the chaotic spectrum but that doesn’t stop him from occasionally joining in what you are doing and messing around. The white headed cursed speech used may seem aloof upon first glance but after knowing him, he genuinely cared for you and wanted to help you. Your differences make the two of you that draws you and Toge together, he needs someone that can spark the ember inside of him into a flame, which is you... 

⨳ Conversations to outsiders seem hilarious. Not many people seem to understand what Toge truly means, his words are limited to rice ball ingredients. But those who have spent some time with him slowly pick up on a few words. And as his lover, you are fluent in rice balls. I imagine you to be a third year (a year older than Toge)  alongside Hikari and Kirara, neither of them understanding what Toge is truly saying, just staring at you with a raised brow as you continue to speak to Toge (ignoring the curious gaze of your friends) bonus points is that you mentioned that you have a southern accent which seems to otherworldly to the Japanese students of Tokyo High. 

⨳ Lavender eyes blink towards your direction, his head cocked to the side as you stood beside him, head craned up and encouraging him to be violent. His reaction is comical and endearing enough for a laugh to build up and escape your mouth. Well, he was tempted to do it but a part of him didn’t know if you were talking seriously or spewing sarcasm at him. But you were his girlfriend so he listened, in the end it was quite a sight to see as Toge isn’t necessarily a violent person so this was a rare event to see.

⨳ Toge kisses you softly, lingering his lips slightly away from yours just to simply tease you for some time before kissing each of your freckles, or atleast what was visible to, before kissing your lips. He is absolutely love sick over you. You could tell him to curse the whole world and he would tell them all to die even if took all his energy. I just… love this pairing so much. Two souls intertwined that understand one better than anyone else.  10/10, would do it again

⨳ Runner Up: Sukuna Ryomen and Nanami Kento

CD's Movie Poll #1 Winner

The Road to El Dorado

* fair warning: spoilers ahead *

Kicking off the start of my movie poll/movie watching series is Dreamworks’ The Road to El Dorado!

ngl this film has been on my watchlist for quite a while, and yet I never got around to actually watching it until now! (or rather, not until the other night lol) I’d heard so many great things about it before like the memorable characters, the kind of 2D animation that you really don’t see in Dreamworks films these days, and of course, the music!

I will say that I really enjoyed all three of those things in some ways and others 🤩

Right off the bat, Kevin Kline and Kenneth Branagh have really great chemistry! In fact, I loved their chemistry so much that I wanted to see footage of them recording their lines. so I legit looked up something like “road to el dorado behind the scenes” on youtube as soon as I finished watching the film and found that not only did they do ALL their voice recording sessions together in the same room but they also used plastic swords and playfully had it at each other!! AHHHHHH! so good!! 😂 ⚔️

but yeah they're hilarious! both on screen and behind it. I also just love the fact that both Kevin and Kenneth come from theater backgrounds cause I think that definitely added to how well they portrayed being con men 🎭

Ofc actors aside, some of you probably know this about me already, but I’m a BIG fan of dynamic duos when it comes to media...

I loved the straight man-ness that was Tulio, and he was probably my favorite of the two. I tend to like characters that find comfort in strategy, cause I tend to be that kinda person too. I know sometimes the logical and level-headed ones aren't always funny, entertaining, or the people to root for in the slightest. But Tulio definitely isn't one of them. I found myself chuckling at a good number of things he said and did like not believing in fate simply cause he relies on loaded dice for example, plus his sarcasm, and how much he tried to compose his patience as well

Miguel was great too! It was fun how much he loved the city of El Dorado and just wanted to take it all in, and his endless optimism of course! But he definitely needed more guitar playing scenes! idk there’s something about those characters who just have an instrument to play at the ready for dramatics that’s really humorous for me, it’s almost, if not totally, breaking the fourth wall in a way 😆

I also really enjoyed the Chief, I love how it’s implied that he knew all along Miguel and Tulio were humans and not gods and yet he still liked them and let them stay anyway. that said, it's kind of a shame that the pair didn't stay in el dorado cause there genuinely were people there who adored them when clearly the people of Spain didn’t…heck they didn't seem to have a problem that they weren't actually gods!

and you have to admit, Miguel and Tulio did match the stone art of the gods quite nicely, like the resemblance there was freaky 😳

Chel was great as well, her cleverness and way of sweet talking definitely stood out to me the most about her character, and I also really loved her voice! 😌

and Altivo the horse? I wanna say he was truly Miguel’s companion when compared to Tulio earning the heart of Chel. after all, Miguel was the one who wanted to rescue him and bring him along, and I was genuinely happy when they decided to bring him on their journey cause the horse wasn’t a bad guy, like he not only gave Tulio and Miguel the keys to escape the ship, but he wasn’t spiteful to them or anything. basically what I’m trying to say is he isn’t how Maximus treated Flynn Rider/Eugene Fitzherbert initially, horse to con man

As for the villain? well…this is the first of three times I’m gonna be saying, “I got some Aladdin vibes from this movie" 😅 👉👈 which isn’t completely a bad thing by any means! 

But yeah…I immediately got Jafar vibes the minute Tzekel-Kan came on screen (also I had to look up this name cause I didn’t catch it very well while I was watching this film, I just kept calling him “Priest Guy”)

I mean…the fact that he can do sorcery, on top of serving a sweet kind-hearted ruler, tangling with not just one but two thieves, anybody picking up what I’m putting down? Yeah that’s really all I gotta say about that guy 🤷🏻‍♀️

also I swear to god that Jim Cummings is in literally everything that was 2D-animated in the 1990s-2000s! and he's always gotta play that big tough guy. Again, that also reminded me of Aladdin. but then again the conquistador didn’t really have that big of a role in this, at the very least I just hope he gave T-K what he got coming to him

I guess just to get it out of the way, I was admittedly humming "One Jump Ahead" in the beginning when Tulio and Miguel are getting chased through the city, but that’s all there is in terms of Aladdin similarities the way i see it

lastly in terms of the characters and cast, I gotta give credit to Elton John for being part of it too! I mean who doesn't love a singing narrator? and he and Tim Rice did an awesome job crafting the soundtrack for this film. every song was absolutely BEAUTIFUL 🎶 ✨

Needless to say, the animation was 👌 and the opening sequence was definitely one of my favorites throughout the whole film as well as the expressions and the solid movements of the characters, very well done no question there. oh! and how there were just gold objects of anything from butterflies to apples in el dorado! they didn’t call it the city of gold for nothing! ✨✨✨

but in the end, did it really have go the route of the overall goal is get all the gold by the end only to actually lose most, if not all, of it by the end? I just feel like that plot line is done a lot in movies. tho to be fair, this was made in the 2000s so heck, it probably began that trend. But I’ve found in recent years that when it comes to treasure hunting movies, this exact scenario happens just repeatedly and it’s nothing new. I’d say movies like The Goonies and Uncharted are two that come to mind for me that have this happen...

Now there’s no way I can conclude my thoughts here without saying how AMAZING the “It’s Tough to Be a God” sequence was! I LOVED the “It's Tough to Be a God" sequence from the singing of the two leads to the colors to the everything about it, it was all magnificent! I'd arguably say it was my favorite scene in the whole film! And I'd be lying if I said that Miguel and Tulio’s version hasn't been stuck in my head ever since I watched it, because so help me it HAS and STILL IS and why that version is not on Spotify, I have no clue, but it SHOULD be. Again, props to Elton and Tim for writing this song and the others!!

So overall, I thought El Dorado was a great movie! It was definitely worth the watch! It's not perfect by any means, I'm not even sure it's my favorite Dreamworks film, but it was still very fun and entertaining all the same and I'm really glad that I finally got to see it after all these years! 🤗

lover, you should’ve come over - let's do f1 or tennis you can choose, male preference!

I'm currently a 3rd year in uni studying statistics with a triple minor holy hell, in CompSci, Business Analytics, and Mathematics. I'm in my uni's marching band and I play the tuba, I'm on staff and I adore my rookies. Literally the shortest person in the section but I love the jokes they're all good fun.

Something about my face screams to people to tell me all about their relationship woes/stories and I honestly don't mind I love getting to know them a bit more. I'm not huge on physical touch but I'll warm up to it if you're a close friend. Very fluent in sarcasm but I know when to pull back. My friends would say I'm very dependable and chill. My love languages are words of affirmation and quality time.

I love to bake when I have the supplies, huge marvel nerd movies + comics, I'm horrible at finishing tv shows I either binge it all in one night or it'll take me 5 months to finish one season, tysm!

i ship you with sebastian vettel!

— ok so i know seb isn’t technically on the grid anymore and he’s kind of old BUT if we’re talking younger red bull seb omg this is SPEAKING to me !! you seem like such a go with the flow person but at the same time super ambitious and just like you know exactly what you want ?? if that makes sense ?? correct me if i’m wrong but that’s the vibe i’m getting from this 😭 and i feel like red bull seb would ADORE that

— ok you have no idea how much i love this imaginary dynamic but i’m picturing seb being totally infatuated with you before you guys get together, and i’m talking like he’ll follow you around, flirt shamelessly and basically just do classic seb things, but (at first) you’d shoot him down every. single. time. mostly just because you find it funny watching him tie himself into knots BUT ALSO maybe because you’re a little intrigued 😏😏 i can imagine you’d keep up this pretence for a while wondering when seb will finally have had enough and move onto his next conquest, BUT WHEN HE DOESNT you begin to think that maybeee this guy is worth sticking your neck out for 😏

— of course once you guys are together, the shameless flirting still won’t stop. i mean who are we kidding it’s sebastian vettel being a flirt is part of his genetic makeup 😭 but you have this superpower where you can just not react and it’s so funny because seb will turn it into some kind of competition to see who’ll crack first (you always win 😉) honestly you guys are the funniest couple ever but in the driest kind of way. i genuinely love you both. if this was real you’d be my otp (i’m getting too invested 😔)

— mini head cannon bc i forgot to add it in before: seb is fully convinced you’re the smartest person on earth and if anyone argues otherwise he will FIGHT them. even if they’re arguing einstein is smarter he’ll still do it. the guy honestly worships you and it’s hilarious (but also v cute 🥹)

— you’re definitely kind of seb’s mental health support 😭 like he’ll tell you everything that goes on in his team, and i mean everything (even when he’s not supposed to 🤫) when he has a bad race, you’re there to listen to him and let him just vent out all his frustrations. when he has a good race, you’re always there to lift him up. i feel like the kind of mutual understanding you guys have is really rare. like, the kind of bordering on telepathy understanding where you can just tell how the other is feeling from one look 🥹 of course, seb’s a gentlemen so he always works hard to give you everything you could possibly want in a relationship. even despite his busy schedule, he always makes sure to take you out on lots of cute, thoughtful dates, and even sends you little notes throughout the day just to remind you how much he loves you 🥹 honestly he’s so cute i adore him

— and a final bonus headcannon !! i feel like seb himself can be a bit of a nerd when it comes to certain things (we’ve all seen him in grill the grid, the guy just absorbs knowledge) even though he may not be a marvel fan originally, when he finds out you are, he works sooo hard to get caught up with all the movies and the comic lore so he can talk to you about it 🥹 then of course come the marvel movie nights (instigated by him) where you literally stay up for hours bingeing as many of them as possible (seb definitely gets so invested and cries at infinity war and endgame 😭) he just wants to spend as much time with you doing things you love as possible !! 🥹🤍

Exploring the Popularity of Funny CSGO Names We see funny CSGO names popping up everywhere because players love how it instantly lightens the atmosphere. Many of us pick hilarious nicknames to break the tension, especially during close matches, and everyone remembers the teammate with the best name after a wild round. Our friends often tell us stories about memorable players like “SprayAndPray4Life” or “S1mpleImpostor,” making us realize how these quirky names stick in our minds. Sometimes we notice that funny names act as icebreakers, helping new squadmates bond quickly before the action heats up. Other times a clever play on words makes both teammates and opponents laugh and keeps the vibe friendly even in competitive games. We’re always searching for new witty combinations because having a unique name gives us individual flair and keeps our CSGO experience fun and fresh. Understanding What Makes a CSGO Name Funny Let’s jump into how a funny CSGO name stands out and brings genuine laughs to every round. The best nicknames mix originality, relevance, and the kind of wit that gets everyone talking after the game. Incorporating Puns and Wordplay We find that puns and wordplay never go out of style for CSGO names. Clever spins like “Aim-impressive” or “Sniperfied” instantly show off our sense of humor and game knowledge. Sometimes we add playful twists on familiar terms—names such as “SuperSniper” or “IronAim” give a nod to pop culture while making our skills sound funnier than they might actually be. Wordplay keeps any CSGO nickname fresh and memorable. Using Pop Culture References Adding well-known movies, TV shows, or iconic memes makes our CSGO name both relatable and hilarious. An in-game moniker like “HanShootsFirst” appeals to Star Wars fans, while “AvadaKedavraKills” turns a harry potter spell into a frag-worthy joke. Dropping names like “Lenny Gang” or “Donger bill” lets us connect with meme-lovers and brings a shared laugh before the match even starts. Reference-based names spark instant recognition and create a sense of community. Adding Unexpected Twists Injecting surprise is another great way to make a CSGO name stand out. When we go for contrasts—like calling ourselves “Epic Failures” or “Clueless Gamers”—the humor lies in the unexpected. Often we’ll pick witty phrases, such as “Raise Your Donger” or “Ctrl Alt Defeat,” that play on everyday language but flip expectations on their head. These unpredictable elements get a reaction, turning a simple nickname into a memorable highlight of the match. Compiling the Best Categories of Funny CSGO Names We’ve seen how a clever CSGO name brings energy to every match. Let’s break down the top ways players turn their profiles into comedic gold, using themes teammates and opponents can’t ignore. Meme-Inspired Names Players always love memes, so meme-inspired CSGO names like Doge Brigade, Snoop Doge, and Fedora the Explorer show off our sense of humor. We spot team names like Ctrl Alt Defeat or InJailOutSoon and instantly know these players don’t take themselves too seriously. Funny CSGO squads such as The Spam Cans keep matches light by referencing internet culture we all recognize. Food and Drink Themed Names Nothing gets a lobby laughing quite like food puns. We see names like TacoDefender, Banana Bombers, and Rush B-eer add spice to the scoreboard. Teams such as Potatoes United or Potato Aim make opponents crave snacks while reminding everyone that fun matters more than frag count. Silly Animal Names Our animal-themed names get everyone smiling right away. Names such as Cowardly Lion, Crazy Cat Lady, and Chicken Chasers fill the match with personality. We watch teams like Silly Snipers or Clumsy Commandos hop into action, proving that CSGO doesn’t have to be all business. Irony and Sarcasm Names It’s impossible not to appreciate a little irony on the server. Names like The Noobs, Epic Failures, or Lagging Legends show we’re masters at poking fun at ourselves. A tag like Silver Smurfer or Blame It On The Lag reassures opponents we’re here for the laughs, even if we ace the round. Irony brings everyone together, giving the whole lobby a reason to chuckle. Sharing the Top 10 Funniest CSGO Names in 2024 Let’s jump right into the heart of CSGO humor with our favorite names that rose to the top this year. We all know picking the perfect funny name gives us an edge in both laughs and memorability, so let’s break down the best choices in 2024: Doodie Pants Everyone on our team cracks up whenever we see this playful and goofy choice in a lobby. Nothing says not to take things too seriously quite like Doodie Pants. Pringles_uncle Friends always ask us about this one. Pringles_uncle adds a quirky, snack-inspired twist that keeps the conversation light between rounds. Handsome Banana Few names brighten a server like Handsome Banana. Every time we run into this, it grabs attention and earns a smile from both allies and opponents. YourDadVenom References to family jokes never fail. YourDadVenom cleverly mashes up classic banter with a threatening edge, putting a memorable spin on in-game taunts. That_Silly_Hangman Using cultural nods gives us common ground, and That_Silly_Hangman takes the familiar word game, mixes in some nonsense, and creates a standout identity. i_KILLED_you Standing out in kill feeds, i_KILLED_you blends humor with CSGO’s competitive spirit. The capitalization just adds a shouty, playful punch. BinGobOss Our squad laughs every time someone mispronounces BinGobOss. Unique and whimsical, this name just rolls off the tongue in the weirdest way. BROvid19 Blending real-industry references and gaming culture, BROvid19 has been making rounds as one of the most timely and sharp names this year. WhySoFastBro Joking about the lightning-fast playstyle in CSGO, WhySoFastBro strikes a chord with anyone who’s been outmaneuvered in a split second. TheSn1KeR With a clever spin on spelling, TheSn1KeR makes us think of both candy bars and sneaky game-winning plays, earning its place on our list. These names don’t just spark laughter; they’re easy to remember, light up the chat, and help create the kind of CSGO experience we all want to replay. When it comes to building camaraderie and keeping things fun, nothing tops a creative in-game name like these. Providing Tips for Creating Your Own Funny CSGO Names Finding the perfect funny CSGO name isn’t just about grabbing laughs—it’s about showing off our style while sticking to what works. Let’s break down a few ways to create memorable nicknames that really pop in any lobby. Mixing Real Words and Random Characters Sometimes the simplest way to stand out is to get creative with how words and characters come together. Maybe we blend everyday terms with numbers or symbols, like “BotWhisperer” or “GlocknessMonster,” making our names instantly recognizable and lighthearted. Throwing in special characters, such as the classic Lenny face “( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)”, or unique Unicode symbols, lets us build combinations like “Donger bill: [̲̅$̲̅(̲̅ ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°̲̅)̲̅$̲̅]”. These quirky touches set us apart and inject a bit of extra fun right into the scoreboard. Playing With Misspellings and Jokes Kicking things up a notch, we can add humor with clever misspellings or inside jokes. Swapping out a word or twisting its spelling—think “Quick Scope Quack” or “Bombastic Bozo”—helps make names especially memorable. It’s fun to use puns like “AWPocalypse” or wordplay like “NoScopeNoProblem” that pay homage to CSGO’s mechanics while bringing out a laugh. Even naming ourselves after group memes, such as “FlashbangFoolery” or “TacoDefender,” keeps the group energy high and our profiles personal. Keeping It Respectful Yet Hilarious We should always check that our names stay friendly and readable, never crossing the line. Choosing funny but appropriate names like “NinjaDefuser” or “FraggingUnicorns” keeps things witty without offending anyone. Let’s opt for names that surprise, like “SneakyBeakyLike” or “WallbangWizard,” which balance fun with good sportsmanship. Sticking to respectful and clever options ensures everyone enjoys a positive gaming environment, and our humor adds to the match rather than distracts from it. Highlighting Common Mistakes When Choosing Funny CSGO Names We all want a funny CSGO name that stands out, but sometimes we trip up on a few easy-to-miss mistakes. Avoiding creativity is probably the most common pitfall. Many of us copy names straight from popular lists without adding our personal spin, which can leave our name feeling generic or disconnected from our real vibe or playstyle. Choosing names that get too complex or tough to read doesn’t help anyone. Friends and foes alike need to recognize us easily, so mixing in too many words or obscure references can quickly cause confusion. Picking something offensive is always risky. We’ve seen names straddle the line, but it’s best to skip anything that could violate game guidelines or bring negativity to the community atmosphere. Keeping names short is smarter than going long. When we pick ones that take up too many characters, those names often get cut off or become hard to remember, and CSGO’s in-game limits make this even more important. Making names that don’t reflect our playstyle or humor can fall flat. It’s a missed opportunity if the nickname isn’t playful in a way that feels like us or doesn’t match the fun we bring to games. Going wild with special characters might seem clever, yet overdoing it makes things messy. Names like “$$K1ll3r$$” are just tough for teammates to type or remember, so a light touch works best. Forgeting team dynamics can also backfire. When our name has no tie-in to our squad’s identity, it sticks out awkwardly. Chatting with friends and syncing up on a theme gives our group a stronger, united presence. By steering clear of these common slip-ups, we keep our funny CSGO names cool, catchy, and fitting—for both ourselves and the gaming community. Exploring Where to Find Inspiration for Funny CSGO Names We usually get a ton of inspiration from online guides and articles, especially on sites like Mannco.store and Gigglenames.com. These resources gather the funniest CSGO names, such as “Spray Sloth” or “Bombastic Bozo,” and give us plenty of new ideas with just a quick scroll. If we need a fresh spin, checking these lists is often all it takes to boost our creativity. Browsing nickname generators makes the process fun and effortless. Nickfinder.com, for instance, lets us explore categories packed with playful or witty nicknames customized for CSGO. We can generate ideas instantly, then tweak them to fit our style or inside jokes. Sometimes we’re part of a squad that needs to stand out, and that’s when team name lists come in handy. ExpertTeamName.com offers pages packed with quirky suggestions, like “Fraggle Rockstars” or “Camping Champs.” Using these names helps our group project a confident, lighthearted vibe without any extra brainstorming. We also stumble into hundreds of clever ideas just by scrolling through community forums and social spaces where CSGO players hang out. Those spaces are filled with stories and lists put together by players who get CSGO humor—just like us. Many of the best names, like “dErP” or “Raise Your Donger,” started as someone’s joke post and then took on a life of their own. Let’s not forget how important it is to pull inspiration from the game itself. Inside jokes about bananas, camping, or clutch moments always score high with teammates. Jokes like “Banana Bombers” or “Quick Scope Quack” reflect the stuff we all experience in matches and offer laughs everyone recognizes. Using these sources and staying plugged into what our community shares, we always find new ways to create names that are both funny and memorable for our next game. Conclusion Choosing a funny CSGO name is all about having fun and expressing who we are on the server. With a clever nickname, we can turn tense rounds into moments of laughter and make our mark in every match. Let’s not be afraid to get creative and show off our sense of humor. The right name can spark new friendships, lighten the mood, and make every game a little more memorable for everyone involved. Frequently Asked Questions Why should I use a funny in-game name in CS:GO? A funny in-game name can lighten the mood, entertain teammates, and make matches more memorable. It also allows you to express your personality, create friendly vibes, and break the ice with others. What makes a CSGO name funny? A funny CSGO name usually blends originality, wit, and relevance.

*I don’t need a man, just accessories*

That’s exactly what you were. That’s all you were to her. A shiny, disposable, accessory. 

*yea you look so good, standing next to me*

She’d told you that before; You swore to yourself to at least act like you were worth more than pretty words. But, at the time, it felt like more than that. You convinced yourself of that.

Isn’t that delusion?

Her sarcasm is visual; Her eyes crease as her head tilts. Pale cheeks twitching as the corners of her mouth raise to a smile. Shes just as head strong as you remember. 

Back then, She’d never asked anything of you, she only told. Demands without an ounce of courtesy or anything truly genuine. You were the one to beg her. 

Even now, She’s demanding something from you.

“Can we come in?”

—

“What am i supposed to do with it.” 

It. 

Such a cruel way to describe a baby. 

“Watch him.” She corrects, pushing past you as if she belongs here, anymore.

It silently watched as you 

Im sweating hoping its okay😅😅

- 🥐 (is this too off?!?!)

omg i haven't used tumblr on my laptop for ages so i keep forgetting to post this

"what am i supposed to do with it" is fucking hilarious and i approve 110%

reader getting attached to the baby like its their own kid and being heartbroken & bitter whenever aeri comes back to pick him up ouuuuuu

[pillowkissed]

okay but mora, you told me i’d like this and you were so right because this is hilarious and cute and i’m genuinely crying laughing at cedric being relentlessly, unintentionally bullied by a cat

“oh come on, who could resist me?”

her cat, cedric. her cat can. she said ✨humble yourself✨

“she scratched you when you sneezed.”

i died. like cedric i’m so sorry but your allergy reaction was apparently offensive enough to warrant violence

“maybe she likes sarcasm and emotionally unavailable.”

oh he ate with that one. not the cat choosing the emotionally detached man with a book and no interest in her 💀 girlie has taste

“you’re not keeping her.” / “tell her that.”

the laugh i had. the fact that the cat chirps like she’s backing theo up??? she chose her new man and isn’t looking back 💅

also can we talk about:

“she literally hates everyone.” “apparently not everyone.”

THEO PLEASE. YOU ARE NOT HELPING. YOU ARE MAKING CEDRIC GO THROUGH A PERSONAL CRISIS

final thoughts: cat knows real when she sees it. theo is her type. cedric is in crisis mode. you are in denial. i am in love with this trope.

100/10 no notes. give the cat a spin-off.

Hi there! Can I please requests Bf's Enemy!Theo where y/n's very notoriously picky cat dislikes/disinterested in her bf, but loves Theo? I've always felt pets know... y'know?

Navigation; m.list; r.r; bf's enemy!theo au;

i loved this request so much!!! thank you anon<3

You’ve always said your cat has taste.

She doesn’t warm up to people easily—no amount of cooing or baby talk gets her attention if she doesn’t vibe with someone. You warned Cedric when you first introduced him.

“She’s picky,” you said, scratching behind her ears. “Like, she likes exactly three people in the world. Don’t take it personally.”

Cedric, ever the golden retriever of a boyfriend, had smiled and knelt down beside her. “Oh come on, who could resist me?”

Your cat, apparently.

She blinked up at him, flicked her tail once, and walked directly into another room.

To his credit, Cedric took it well. Kind of.

“She’ll come around,” he’d said optimistically.

She didn’t.

No matter how many treats he brought, how gently he tried to pet her, or how sweetly he spoke, your cat couldn’t care less. At best, she tolerated him. At worst, she swatted at his shoelaces and hissed when he tried to pick her up.

It became a running joke—“she’s just playing hard to get,” Cedric would say with a nervous laugh, while eyeing her like she was plotting his murder.

“She’s just… warming up to me,” Cedric tries to say, even now, as you both roam the castle hallways looking for her.

“She’s had months,” you reply. “I think she’s made her decision.”

“She let me sit near her once.”

“She scratched you when you sneezed.”

“That was startling!”

And that’s when you both heard it.

A soft, steady purring coming from around the stone wall bordering the edge of the courtyard. You rounded the corner—and froze.

There he was- Theo sat slouched like a painting, back against the bench, ankles crossed, book open in one hand and your traitorous cat purring in his lap like she’d always belonged there.

You blinked.

Your voice came out sharp, confused, almost accusatory. “Nott….Why do you have my cat?”

Theo didn’t look up from his book. “Didn’t know she was yours.”

“She is” you said, walking up fast. “That’s my cat.”

He finally glanced at you, calm as ever. “Right. Well. She came to me.”

Cedric caught up behind you, already frowning. “Of course she did.”

Theo scratched under her chin, and her purrs doubled.

You were floored.

“Oh my god,” you whispered, stunned. “She likes you?”

Cedric looked personally betrayed. “She doesn’t even let me do that,” he said flatly.

“You’ve got to be kidding me.” you whisper, watching in disbelief

Cedric crossed his arms, incredulous. “She literally hates everyone.”

Theo raised an eyebrow. “Apparently not everyone.”

You walked over cautiously, holding out your hands. “C’mere, baby. Let’s go.”

Your cat didn’t move.

Didn’t even flinch.

She just blinked at you, then flopped sideways in Theo’s lap and kept purring.

“Oh my god” Cedric said under his breath.

You folded your arms, trying to make sense of what you were seeing—your cat curled up like she was in a luxury bed and Theo treating it like the most normal thing in the world.

“She really just… came up to you?”

Theo nodded. “Walked right over. Climbed up. No questions asked.”

Your cat chirped sweetly, like she was confirming his alibi.

You exchanged a look with Cedric, whose jaw was tense, clearly not thrilled.

“I don’t get it” he muttered. “I’ve tried everything.”

Theo closed his book slowly and raised an eyebrow at the both of you. “Maybe she likes sarcasm and emotionally unavailable.”

You just stared.

“…You’re not keeping her.”

Theo shrugged, leaning back as your cat made herself even more comfortable. “Tell her that.”

[pink-ttes]

3, 12, and 15 for all the girls

3. How often do they show their genuine emotions to others versus just the audience knowing?

LONDON : london has mastered the art of hiding her emotions and not to be deceptive or anything. she just has taken her role as leader seriously. she never wants the girls to see her in a negative state because she doesn’t want that energy to rub off on them. she tries her hardest to stay neutral because things get rowdy in the dorms very often so she needs to stay calm and collected at all times to keep some sort of balance in the house. she’s like the most media trained idol ever it’s crazy.

TANA : tana is pretty much an open book and not really by choice either! whatever she feels is gonna show on her face immediately and she doesn’t really pick up on social cues too well so she just says stuff the way it pops into her mind, regardless of it’s the way she meant for it to come off or not. you can guess how that attribute landed in the media.

MIKYUNG : mikyung is probably the opposite of london. she’s mastered the art of hiding her emotions with the intent of being deceptive. she never tries to show when she’s angry or sad because she says it doesn’t come off as ‘graceful’ as she wants to come across. she hides her emotions mostly to get what she wants, using these skills to her advantage. on the other hand, when she isn’t getting any benefit from it, she’s gonna tell you how she feels!

NELLY : nelly is honestly a mess. she wants to control her emotions better but most of the time she just spills like a can of paint. she acts before she thinks so she’s just as explosive and stupid in writing as she is to everyone else she knows.

CHARMEINE : charmeine is a very genuine person. she shows all of her emotions. if she hates you, you’ll know it. if she loves you, you’ll know it. she never really hides her emotions from those around her, she never feels the need to.

12. What’s something that makes them laugh every single time? Be specific!

LONDON : honestly, just the girls in general! genuinely she finds everything her members do funny. like there was one time on an interview where charmeine made a face at something that nelly said and london literally could not stop laughing, it was funny! really, charmeine’s facial expressions get her every single time. charmeine just makes the craziest and most perfectly timed facial expressions as reactions and london will eat it up every time.

TANA : something that always tickles tana’s funny bone is corny phrases that would probably be said mostly by dads or nerds. phrases like “no more mr. nice guy” or “oh brother” get her good. think of the bbl drake memes…she loves those.

MIKYUNG : anything that’s unintentional makes mikyung laugh. when one of her members falls, she laughs. they screw up a word, she laughs. there’s literally compilations of her laughing at her members’ fuck ups. (she does that with their personal life too.)

NELLY : nelly has the humor of twelve year old boy. ‘boy’ (with the cocked hand) jokes still make her laugh. a simple vine reference will make her crack up…everyone gets so annoyed because she finds the most cringe, outdated, and unfunny stuff hilarious. like imagine her showing you one of those Instagram reels that either your MOM or little tweenage brother would show you.

CHARMEINE : charmeine’s the comedian of the group! she’s usually the one making everyone laugh but the more kind of extreme jokes always make her giggle. she also loves sarcasm. she’s the type to make ‘changing the trajectory of your life forever’ jokes and it’s gonna tickle her every time. she likes jokes that make people go ‘oh!’ and pause for a moment.

15. What’s the most obvious difference between their behavior at home, at work, at school, with friends, and when they’re alone?

LONDON : london is like a mom everywhere, but especially at home. she’s more lax and in her element at home and has hobbies like that of an old woman. she’s pretty much the mom friend in all her friend groups, so she’s like this all-round.

TANA : tana is just as bubbly everywhere. she’s a chameleon, she fits in wherever and gets comfortable wherever she sees fit. there’s no real difference between her at home compared to out and about. she’s naturally in good spirits.

MIKYUNG : when she’s actually at home, she becomes way more of a people person. when she’s out and at events, she’s more on the quiet side, the one who just judges and reacts from the sidelines unless she’s spoken too. but at home she’s more talkative and comfortable. still bitchy, but she’s a nicer person in the comfort of her own home.

NELLY : as showboat-y as she is in public, nelly tries her hardest to not come out of her room when she’s at home. she tries to avoid her members at all costs and when she has to come out, she’s hopping and sneaking around like she’s a burglar and the floor is lava. put straight, she tries to act like she’s this big bad guy when she’s in front of people but in the dorms she’s honestly a wuss.

CHARMEINE : charmeine is wayyy quieter at home and when she’s alone than with friends or in a public setting. she’s so extroverted when she’s out or with friends, something adjacent to a social butterfly but not quite. however, when she’s at home she’s about the peace and quiet and not socializing with anyone who’s not in her four walls. she does her self-care and she chills with her members.

A more direct EN translation of some of Alhaitham’s voice lines in CN

(Note that in order to show the meaning in CN more clearly, some translations might not sound as smooth as the official EN text to stay closer to the CN.)

tl;dr: dude is in general more of a piece of shit in CN (no) LOL

i love he

About the Vision

To be honest, a Dendro Vision isn’t of much help to my research. But I do hit people harder now that I have elemental powers, so it's still useful enough.

[Personal opinion: I really wish the translators had kept his cruder/rougher wording in CN here, instead of making him sound kinda formal with the “settling a physical dispute” “proves useful at times” and all. (There are other lines, including some during the archon quest, where I’ve noticed that the EN translators made him sound more “formal” like this.) Despite the strong “rational/logical” image that he has, in CN Alhaitham rarely uses the kind of “academic” or “smart”-sounding language that one might think he does unless the occasion calls for it, and I find that aspect of his character really charming. Like Alhaitham says himself, “Rather than lacing my words with rhetoric, I prefer speaking factually” – I love hearing his lines because this guy is so good at making sharp, concise comments using his iconic crude and down-to-earth language. The writers really did a fantastic job portraying this smart and badass and hilarious character while intentionally (imo) breaking the stereotype in the use of an “academic” tone.]

About Us: Helping Each Other

You are very capable of taking care of yourself, so much so that you can even look after the companions around you. I don’t have any advice for you, and you most likely don’t need my help.

[Unlike in EN, it’s not very obvious that he is specifically referring to Paimon there in CN. It’s also a general trend that he is more curt/direct in CN, not hedging his statements as much with words like “seem” “frankly” “tend to” etc..]

About Kaveh: Compassion

He shows too much compassion towards everyone and everything. Probably because he is too fragile, he’s always making a fuss over nothing.

[The word choice in CN is more positive. At least “关怀” is a positive word – more along the lines of “compassion/care” – while “sensitive” is a neutral word that could be understood in either way, and probably negative in the context of “overly sensitive”. While Alhaitham is arguably also using some sarcasm in CN, I still think “sensitive” is neither an intuitive nor a fitting translation for 关怀.]

Birthday

Happy birthday. I’ve always thought that people invest an unnecessary amount of enthusiasm into celebrating the day they were born; it’d be more practical to channel that energy into getting more joy out of each day of their lives. You’re doing an alright job with this. I don’t know what kind of gift to get, so I’ll just reserve one pass for you through a special application channel.

[Funnily enough, he is less nice to you on your birthday in CN lol… I appreciate the sheer objectivity in “alright job”, bro Especially the “gift” he prepared for you, in my understanding, the special channel is only effective for once in CN and not permanent as the EN version seems to suggest, LMAO. Alhaitham, you just really don’t want to put extra effort into this huh Idk, maybe the EN translators just wanted to make him sound nicer to the players 😆 I can appreciate it either way though.]

Opening Treasure Chest: I

Hold on to them yourself.

[Aka: I don’t need this stuff. How nice of him.]

Opening Treasure Chest: II

Hurry, it’ll be hard to pick them up once they roll away.

[But he’s also genuinely being such a good (and fourth-wall-breaking-ly helpful) teammate kekw]

Joining Party: II

Let’s do business the business way. / Let’s keep things straight business.

[OK, if all the other discrepancies in translation are mostly just me being nitpicky, this one, I would argue, is a significant mistranslation that almost gets the opposite meaning across. “Let’s get down to business,” in my opinion, makes it sound like Alhaitham feels the need and is potentially quite willing to join the party, while in CN, “公事公办” is an idiom that clearly conveys the meaning that Alhaitham is Not joining you because he wants to/thinks he needs to but rather he’s treating it as Business, as a Job. In JP this line is straight up translated it as “公務に私情は挟まない” – “no personal feelings involved in official business.” In fact, linguistic elegance/cultural factors aside, I feel like for Alhaitham’s voice lines at least, the JP translation in general stays much closer to the CN text compared to EN. Like I mentioned in my last CN/EN comparison post, some EN translations make Alhaitham sound like a leader, while a big part of this dude’s life is just rejecting any and all leadership responsibilities thrown his way.]

Feelings About Ascension: Conclusion

Can’t let those slackers from the Akademiya know that I’m making progress yet again, otherwise they’ll do everything in their ability to push trouble my way. Of course I won’t accept any of it, but the back-and-forth in communication is always going to waste some (of my) time.

Edit: Please don’t send me spoilers for later episodes. This includes “you are right/wrong about xyz interpretation”. Thank you!   

Episode 17 has so many incredible, heartbreaking, heartwarming, hilarious and frustrating moments; it’s one of my favorite episodes thus far for sure. A friend of mine told me that he fell in love with the Bells Hells in this episode and I’m inclined to agree. 

Between episode 14 and 17 I feel like the rest of them have really come together and have had the opportunity to show some of their softer, less silly sides. I love the silly, but sometimes it can get in the way of genuine character moments and those episodes are full of both, which is great. 

Here’s a little roundup of my impressions of the characters so far:

Ashton: This guy is so dumb. Like, can’t get any dumber. They are so preoccupied with being the unattached one, that every of their actions just screams “I don’t deserve to be loved and I will show you why!” - I love his short temper, I love his reluctant admiration of the others and I particularly love that Taliesin gets to play someone who is queer as fuck, yet determined to be disagreeable. That is just peak Taliesin PC design and I think he is having a blast with Ashton so far.

Fearne: This fawn is so smart. And I mean that genuinely. Fearne knows exactly how she can utilize her charm and her assumed innocence to get away with the most outrageous lies and actions. I’m sort of glad that Little Mister has faded into the background a little. I feel like Fearne needs nobody to help her shine. And it’s fascinating to me that it had never before occurred to me that Ashley would be perfect at playing a fey, since Ashley exudes heaps of fey energy even when she is just being herself. I’m curious how she will handle more dramatic scenes in the future. Fearne has shown that she can genuinely care about others, but there is a clear sense that she - as any fey creature - struggles with the dark grey morals of her heritage.

F.C.G.: Sam is a menace. It is known. But I wonder how much of a menace he is being with F.C.G. I think there is a very good chance that Sam knows very little of their backstory, or how much of it is true. The memories Imogen saw in him could’ve been placed there or altered. I adore that Sam chose a race/class/subclass combination that doesn’t cater to his usual dry sarcasm as Nott’s and Scanlan’s builds did. Instead he gets to experiment with humor that stems from F.C.G.’s genuine concern and their unawareness of certain social cues. I’m sure the other Riegel shoe will drop soon enough, but until then I’m just happy to receive puzzle piece after puzzle piece of this robit’s tragic past. 

Imogen: Until recently I really thought Laura had built a sweet, soft horse-girl sorceress. Oh what a fool I was! Not that she isn’t all of those things, but Imogen is so much more multi-facetted than I had originally understood. She is driven and curious. She is intrigued by power and convinced of her own abilities. She apologizes to people for invading their minds, but she also enjoys learning other people’s secrets. She is confident! She knows her worth! She understands how to get people to do what you want (not in a strictly manipulative way, but she has definitely learned that showing compassion is a way to get people to talk). I’m super intrigued by her and thus afraid to delve too deep into fandom interpretations of Imogen, because Laura’s track record is 1. build intricate, layered character, 2. fandom builds one-dimensional fanon version of said character, 3. fandom gets mad when Laura dares to stick to her original design for said character (one of the reasons why I’m not massively into glasses!Imogen - it just triggers a fight or flight response in my brain).

Laudna: What a ballsy character design! What a choice of a backstory and a patron! I love that she came up with this and Matt said “yes, and” to all of it. I agree with Orym that Laudna is fascinating not because of her backstory, but rather because she is who she is despite of her backstory. I’m a big believer that great tragedy functions like a fork in the road of your capacity for compassion. Either you become the least or the most compassionate version of yourself, and I adore that Marisha went with the latter. And for some reason I keep thinking of Laudna’s connection to Vox Machina and that she feels like the rebirth of Kerrek’s line in his letter to Keyleth: “Did you know that there are some seeds that cannot sprout unless they are first burned?“ I wish Laudna could’ve had the life she deserved, but I think her capacity to love and feel deeply is informed by the tragedy of her past. 

Chetney: Detective!Travis and comic-relief!Travis are two of my favorite Travises, so of course I adore Chetney. I’m so glad he finally gets to live his lycanthropy dreams! I’m curious about Chetney’s backstory and how much of it will activate the other kind of Travis I love, which is the what-makes-a-good-man!Travis. I love when he gets to explore the themes of masculinity, bravery and worthiness and I feel like Chetney might give him the opportunity to examine them from a very different perspective. Or maybe the wolf will die in three sessions, which is also entirely possible. Travis doesn’t trust Sam and I don’t trust Travis. C’est la vie!

Orym: This little guy! What a wee man! In ExU I was not super into Orym because I felt like he faded into the background next to so much color and character, but it is always the quiet ones who worm their way into my heart in the end. In one way or another Liam’s characters always carry an unspeakable amount of grief with them and that grief usually is for a future that was stolen from them. Vax, Caleb and Orym all had to come to terms with the loss of a version of themselves/their lives that they didn’t get to see or live. But with Orym there is a new kind of twist to this baseline of grief: There seems to be an immense amount of hope stored in this tiny dude; a hope for a life that’s worth living or a future that’s worth fighting for or a revenge that is worth pursuing. There is not a lot of Orym (physically), but every inch of this small man is full of love and hope and a deep sense that there are things worth fighting for. 

I thought about listing my favorite relationship dynamics so far, but the truth is that it is... all of them. I genuinely enjoy all of their interactions and how the characters mesh with each other. Eleven more episodes until I’m caught up and can laugh about my naïve impressions of them as of episode 17.

hii i discovered ur blog yesterday and i love it 👀!!! idk if uve done this before but im interested in what u think about mitunas personality, and also how he was before the incident (and what the incident was cause canon is super vague and cryptic??). i don't know a lot about brain damage and how that can look in people just that there's more than one possible way so i'm also curious how to handle that from a writer's perspective (like, besides the obvious of not infantilizing him like everyone else seems to do for some fucking reason)

Hi there!!!! I’m so glad you’re liking the blog so far! It’s pretty recent, and I’m honestly surprised at the reception so far! I wasn’t really expecting much of anything!!!!

Those are ABSOLUTELY things I can discuss! Mituna is actually one of my top favorite characters, so I’m really, really glad you’ve asked!! Due to this being a multi-part question, it’s going to be really, REALLY long, so let’s start this off with a read-more!

[Cracks knuckles]

Regarding your first inquiry, of my thoughts on Mituna’s personality-

One thing I’ve noticed that people typically fail to keep in mind is that Mituna is absolutely a Captor. It’s a trend I have noticed for years, and it is a damn unfortunate one! Traits that are most often beloved aspects of Sollux’s personality are also relevant to Mituna’s personality. Let’s be real with ourselves for a moment- Mituna is the funniest motherfucker in the (remnants of the) Alpha Troll Session by a long shot. Let me list out some traits of his, because it is definitely worthy of getting a spotlight shone on it.

Mituna has a penchant for sarcasm and employs it regularly. A great example of this is the moment where Cronus said to Mituna that he was going to fake another suicide attempt for sympathy points (his words, not mine!,) and Mituna essentially replied “How about you try that out on me?” Cronus does so, and Mituna’s immediate response to it is going “Woah, let’s fuck!!!!,” which is IMMEDIATELY shown to be completely, obviously sarcastic. Mituna, to Cronus’s face, calls him a “fucking idiot” for even for a second thinking it’s genuine.

A fun trait to notice, playing through his OpenBound- Mituna is actually pretty self-aware! Especially in regards to his own clumsiness. Keep a track of times he mentions skating. He keeps making up different names for his skateboard specifically to poke fun at himself. A personal favorite of mine is (paraphrased,) “Rad-ass fall down slat.” We know he’s just making up words, because when he’s talking to himself, he literally just calls it a skateboard.

Sex jokes. So many fucking sex jokes. What else did we expect of the man who’s first name literally just means sex? Which, mind you, isn’t even a joke! His name is derived from the word Maithuna. His name means sex. He makes sex puns. He isn’t innocent, he’s not clueless regarding sexuality. I’ll hazard a guess that he’s done plenty of it, considering it’s been 1,000 years and he is in a relationship. Sex puns wherever applicable. They’re funny as hell. It’s awesome. #Spornts.

Mituna is kind of a flirt! Sure, he’s mostly joking, but jokingly flirting still shows that the person knows how to flirt in some capacity and will do so. Some of the lines were kinda smooth, in my opinion. It’s actually hilarious. Personal favorite is in one of his interactions with Meenah, where she asks “What will you grind on,” in relation to skating, and he replies, smugly, “I volunteer... that thing to be... You.” Like, you know what, let’s give him some points there. He stuck that fucking landing. That’s really funny.

While Mituna is a pessimist, and he can come across as a bit abrasive if you aren’t used to him, we do know that he’s actually pretty nice to his friends, and when he feels the impulse to be kind. (I separate the two because I’ll be damned before I call Cronus Mituna’s friend.) It’s something to keep an eye out for, but a good example is his brief interaction with Kurloz, and... You know, the concentrated implications behind the fact that he’s been able to hold a steady, loving romantic relationship for over 1,000 years. With a freakin’ Knight of Mind. The man’s probably a damn good boyfriend. At least in his own way.

I could say more, but we’d be here all day, and some things are better left to either later parts of this essay or entirely separate essays.

Regarding your second inquiry, of how I see Mituna’s personality prior to the Great Act of Heroism-

Alright, okay... This is going to be a bit of a hot take.

I do not think pre-incident Mituna was all that different than he is now.

Not at all. No. I think his brain injury destabilized him mentally in the way brain injuries tend to do, and I think that subsequently pushed his personality to some extremes, but I don’t think he’s all that different in any which way. The core of his personality is the same. The way his brain works changed, not who he is at his core.

Think of it like this- Say you’re an artist, and you mess up the nerves on your hand or injure it badly. It might work a little differently after- unable to sense certain things, maybe even not as flexible as it used to be. Maybe you can’t use it as long as you used to be able to without it hurting, but it’s still a hand. It’s still your hand. It’s the same as it always was at it’s core, it just works a little differently now, and you have some extra limitations to you. They might be annoying at first, and it might even make you a little sad sometimes, but it’s still your hand.

Now consider this- if everyone around you kept making comments about your nerve damage/injury, and the new limitations you have to work with, which you are probably already stressed and/or insecure about... Constantly comparing your old capabilities to your new ones, calling you broken even if in polite wording, saying your work just isn’t the same after it all... And essentially blaming you for everything. Always stressing they prefer “the old you” over “the new one”... Wouldn’t that be really fucked up of them?

Yeah.

That’s basically just how he’s been treated. Except, like... The way he’s been treated is so much worse. Both in the sense of canon, and how the fandom handles him.

I think about pre-incident Mituna very little. It comes up in my thoughts every now and then, but it’s fleeting. It’s something worth thinking about, yes, but more often than not people will just use that stage of his character to either- not trying to be rude- basically just make an OC bearing his name, or make him more palatable. And I’m not a huge fan of that, to be blunt. I’m not a very big fan of comparing befores and afters on the topic of disability. Character exploration is good, yes, but I’ve only really seen one well done depiction of pre-incident Mituna.

With that said, check out Befriendus! I absolutely LOVE that interpretation of pre-incident Mituna. One of my favorite ideas that came of it was them making Mituna psychotic. Actually pretty good representation, in my opinion! Made me really happy! 10/10.

———————

Regarding your third inquiry, of what I personally think the Great Act of Heroism was-

Ohhh, yes. This old doozy. There’s several ways to interpret it! But there’s one core thing you have to keep in mind when speculating-

The only person there to witness the Great Act of Heroism was Kurloz. And he refuses to say a word about it.

How fucking suspicious is that, am I right? Especially since we know Kurloz uses his quadrantmates like puppets. Double especially since we know Kurloz is capable of mind control, and said mind control causes lapses in memory.

I will admit, that second part is added there for flavor. I don’t think I believe Kurloz mind controlled Mituna into doing something actually horrible in that moment- but it’s not fully out of the question. I also just wanted to remind people that Kurloz literally does mind control Mituna in canon.

I subscribe to (a slightly edited version of) the classic theory, dubbed All Trolls Go God-Tier: The Mituna Method, by Tumblr user bladekindeyewear, that Mituna straight up fucking yeeted Prospit with his mind and caused a universal domino effect that made god tiering possible for all. Give it a read, it’s awesome!

I really could go into what I think might have happened within the Alpha Troll Ssssion one day, vis-a-vis the Great Act of Heroism. One day!!!

———————

Regarding your final inquiry, of how Mituna’s brain damage manifests and how to tackle that from a writing perspective-

Research, research, research!

In my opinion, the best place to start is studying frontal lobe damage in particular, because that seems to be what he’s mostly based on. I am by no means an expert on brain damage, mind you, so this is advice to take with a grain of salt. I am writing from the perspective of someone who knows some things from study, not as someone who is an expert on traumatic brain injuries.

With that aside... The ways it seems to manifest in Mituna, at least from what I can see, are interesting. It also makes how his peers treat him, and how the fandom handles him, all the more frustrating.

Five hugely noticeable ways it shows up are poor impulse control, impairment of motor skills, trouble handling complex tasks, emotional dysregulation, and difficulty communicating “properly.”

Mituna, by all accounts, has zero filter. He acts inappropriately at times, and reacts inappropriately at times. He seems to just say whatever appears on the top of his mind with not much regard for consequences until he is met with them. This is absolutely a trait that could get him in a fair amount of trouble, but it’s also a neutral trait to have. Hell, you could absolutely boil his attempt at committing public indecency down to just him not having any impulse control. You could also boil his attempts at being nice to Cronus as a lack of impulse control.

Impairment of motor skills is decently self explanatory, and it’s even something that’s joked about a lot whether people realize it or not. His impaired motor skills is what’s making him clumsy, and is most likely why his typing quirk has so many typos.

His trouble with handling complex tasks is also something that was joked about regularly. Remember how he couldn’t figure out how to take off his clothes? While on the surface that’s genuinely fucking hilarious because even I can’t figure out how that thing works, because it’s a skin tight latex jumpsuit with no visible zipper... But then you realize having difficulty getting dressed and undressed is actually pretty common amongst people with brain damage. And suddenly it’s less just a joke about how his clothing choice is weird and he’s an idiot that can’t figure out how to take his clothes off, and more like... He literally just has brain damage. He’s not stupid, he’s just struggling. He’s only been read as stupid because people haven’t taken the time to realize that getting dressed and undressed is honestly a pretty complex task. For emphasis, next time you get fully dressed, start actively thinking about and counting the amount of steps it takes to do so. Include everything. It’s so complicated.

Emotional dysregulation is... Also self explanatory, though now it ties into his already existing mood disorder. Mituna is bipolar. There’s no dancing around that. And the TBI made his mood swings worse. Hell, the environment he’s in might be making it worse, too! People are just complete and total dicks to him because they can be. But... That’s besides the point. He doesn’t have much in the way of emotional stability, that much is obvious, and I don’t have to spoon feed it to you. That would just be patronizing, probably.

(Warning for direct discussion of assault coming up. It’s Cronus. What did anyone expect?)

Difficulty communicating “properly”... Oh boy, is this a thin rope to walk, but man is it a necessary one. Let me start this off by saying he is very much so capable of communicating with people clearly. We have SEEN him communicate with people very clearly. When Cronus was... basically just straight up on-screen assaulting Mituna, Mituna kept VERY CLEARLY telling him to stop, that he does not want Cronus to touch him, and that he “does not want [his] hand there.” Several times he voiced his nonconsent, he was very clear about it. He is capable of communicating clearly. But nonetheless, his communication skills are impaired. He can be a tad difficult to understand at times, and he sometimes throws in words that aren’t supposed to be there. Prime example coming to mind is also from the assault scene- “I want that your hand to not be on my body please” is very much so a coherent sentence, but it’s just a bit stilted. There’s also the fact that he has difficulty recounting things to people, which very well could be related.

There’s a lot of other avenues you could take regarding it, though! And I do recommend research above all else. I’m just a guy on the Internet.

———————

Overall, the way Mituna’s character has been largely handled by the fandom is bizzare to me. All things aside, he’s literally just some guy. He’s just standing there, minding his own business, and some people just really, really hate the fact that he has symptoms. You can write Mituna in a way that feels more realistic. That’s fine and dandy. But if symptoms of brain damage as a whole are what is unpalatable to you, you’re probably an ass.

The symptoms he has aren’t inherently bad. They aren’t inherently good, either. It’s neutral, and it’s situational. What fucks me up is that people have this tendency to cringe and look away because his symptoms aren’t inherently pretty or relatable. So, they pretty him up.

There’s zero reason to infantilize Mituna that doesn’t involve ableism in some way. He’s just some greasy 4Channer skater dude who wants to make music and draw. He’s just vibing, bro.
