okay . as a certified ultrakill lorehead (and also gabv1el shipper) …. people who say they hate each other and ONLY have hate for each other and THAT’S IT ? are fucking Fools . i’m sorry . do u not know their characters ?
fucking . gabriel apostate of hate terminal entry . Literally says “the strong fire that burned inside him was not hatred at all , but passion .” LIKE . CMON ? (i guess you can still interpret it as like . he Does hate v1 , but the Fire he felt wasnt the hate , it was passion . like sure . but to say they hate each other ? purely ? Nuh Uh ….. Nah …….)
like .. do u Hear the shit he says during the heresy fight . “is this what i lost to ?” it’s a taunt , of course . it’s most definitely taunting , goading . but is it demeaning ? well , kind of i guess — but in the taunting “give me all you’ve got” sort of way , not in the “less than nothing ; scum beneath my foot” kind of way (like before) . “is this what i lost to” is just such .. an expectant taunt . like he Expects a lot from v1 . he recognizes v1 as a worthy opponent — the Only opponent to ever beat him or give him a challenge — and even his taunts reflect that , no matter how … angry and mocking they are LOL . the same can be said with “you’re getting rusty , machine” but it’s less obvious there . (Ofc there r still .. demeaning lines . like “nothing but scrap” and “you need more power” n shit … but that’s more him being angry and less of him seeing v1 as literally just . a bug to be squashed , like in 3-2 . doesnt reflect his view on v1 , but reflects his current emotional state instead)
and then there’s the phase 2 taunts , where his tone changes a Lot . he still has very taunting and (more blatantly) Goading lines (“show me what you were made for” “come get some blood” “come on , machine , fight me like an animal”) , but the tone is Veryyy … manic and awed . the awed feeling is more obvious with the lines like “what is this feeling ?” “i’ve never had a fight like this before” “so this is what you see in bloodshed” and “now this is a fight worthy of god’s will” . he’s getting into the fight . in what way does this show Hate ?
like i Guess you could see his parting line of “may your woes be many , and your days few” to be hateful . but after the heresy fight , he chuckles whilst saying it … since it’s ironic , no ? he has only a few hours to live , and so much guilt for the lives he took . he doesn’t even sound angry or hateful as he says it … but he still says it so whatever i guess u can deffo take it that way since like . it’s not as if i don’t believe he doesn’t hate v1 at All . hell no . that’s what makes their dynamic fun . but …. to say they can’t have some sort of gay ass relationship because they hate each other ? as if that’s the Only feelings they have for one another ? nah bro … what r u cooking ….
to say they hate each other is such an oversimplification of their relationship methinks . v1 ruined gabriel’s life , doomed him to die , yes . but it also forced him to see the injustice in the council’s — and by extension , his — actions . he freed heaven from their unjust reign , and was able to see the truth for what it was … the council are a group of cowards , chasing the fire that’s no longer there , because god is gone .
v1 doomed him to death , and losing to v1 caused him to go through immeasurable pain (via having his light taken away) . but v1 Also had him experience a newfound challenge , and realize that he could want something for himself . had him feel passion and anger . had him realize that the council was wrong , that what he’s done in the name of god was wrong and misguided .
v1 caused the early end of his life , but also caused him to start truly Living . living for himself instead of serving the council or being someone else’s weapon . drove him to kill the council as a way to take his life back from them . “hate” is too simple of a summary for how he feels about v1 , when you consider all of what v1’s done to/for him . it’s much more complicated than that , bc v1 changed his life for better And for worse . and to dismiss it as just them hating each other ? is kinda stupid imho . what a wild and diminishing way to simplify / dumb down their incredibly interesting , complicated dynamic lmao
also . to say v1 hates gabriel is crazy ? bc what in the game implies that at all LOL ? v1 has no dialogue or anything that implies it hates him … v1 has like barely any personality in game at all lmfao (i don’t count the hank and hank jr and the “you’re not getting away this time” bc those r easter eggs / was put in to guide the player , as confirmed by hakita … not that i dont think v1 is a silly goober btw .!!!! but i’m talking abt in game stuff) . like fr just pulling shit out yo ass . in game , v1 does not display any emotions for him . neither hate or love or anything . v1 does NOT hate gabriel …… just saying …….
can you tell i’m normal about these two . my god
>> shipping gabv1el is fun when you don't have someone from tiktok telling you that they hate each other
#this is all canonical and explained in game Btw .#or at least Implied#like im not even trying to go into my own thoughts on what their dynamic Could be#hence why im barely talking about v1’s side here … bc there’s like nothing at all in the game in terms of how v1 feels abt anything LMAO#but in general i loooove the parallels of like#v1 changing gabriel’s life by challenging his rock hard beliefs and making him see the cold reality of what he’s done#as well as gabriel changing v1’s beliefs of being the perfect war machine with no emotions . to be what it was created to be#nothing more and nothing less#by causing v1 to feel emotions . (hashtag hc that v1 feels emotions theyre just Incredibly repressed)#(and lets not even mention the whole ‘i dont want to die’ death screen stuff el oh elz)#(reason i didnt mention that for v1’s lack of canonical personality part is bc like#that’s not Personality . that’s just fear . its certainly a characteristic though .!!! but yeah)#(also wasnt reallyyy relevant lol)#ANYWAYYYY can yew tell im really normal about these two and their super interesting relationship#how they impact each other (or how v1 impacts gabriel for the purely canonical stuff)#(gorsh i love gabriel being a complex and developing character and v1 being the static unchanging character that serves as his catalyst and#reason for change/growth !!! wow !!!!!)#Also not mentioning How gabriel hating v1 is fun asf for their relationship/dynamic …. let them be hateful in peace ….. smh ….#all this to say that people on tiktok are STUPID and dont understand the complexity of their relationship . xoxo#ultrakill#gabv1el#ultrakill gabv1el#gabriel ultrakill#ultrakill gabriel#v1 ultrakill#ultrakill v1#i love CHARACTER ANALYSIS !!!!!!#kristiliyaps

The lore of #asking for shark est to return to the sea trending worldwide --
So, William and Est are on a vacation in Phuket, getting a much deserved break and they had been sharing pictures and videos from the holiday. And normally when Est is on a vacation near sea, we get plenty of pictures of him in his "natural habitat".


However, William has been quite vocal about feeling possessive whenever Est posts shirtless pics. He had teased Est about it in their "My Ideal Fan" video.
Est also talked about how people are forgetting that he used to be a swimmer and that earlier he used to wear shirts with just two buttons buttoned up but now he wears t-shirts and does not show off anymore. He even posted his baby tee challenge on tiktok with the caption "(my) baby is possessive".
So, earlier this morning, William posted this picture where you could get only a glimpse of shirtless Est.

This prompted fans to start trending the hashtag asking Est to return to his natural habitat (i.e., indirectly asking William to let Est post shirtless pics). People basically started tweeting the hashtag with Est's previous shirtless vacation photos and asking for more.
William noticed the hashtag and tweeted this which encouraged Est to ask everyone to keep voicing out their opinion -
(william's tweet || est's tweet || translation)
It trended #1 in Thailand and #5 Worldwide (while trending in 6 countries) with over a 110k tweets. P'Mui (screenwriter and director of ThamePo), Parbdee (the production company that worked on ThamePo), ICONSIAM, various news outlets, etc. also joined in -
(translation 1 || translation 2 || translation 3 || icon siam's tweet)
It ended with Est finally posting his picture (after making a deal with William).

To which William replied -
#williamest#william jakrapatr#est supha#thamepo#thame po#thamepo heart that skips a beat#what a wild wild day#this is just the tip of the iceberg#this thing is far from over because est said he has added some posts in queue#but it's late here and i'm gonna go sleep now#will update this later if they do something unhinged again#postsbyrain

Sorry, wrong roommate ChrisMD
In which fans ship the wrong people.
Y/N had been on YouTube for over a decade, her channel a mix of witty challenges, heartfelt travel vlogs, and occasional collaborations with other creators. With over six million subscribers, Y/N was adored for her authenticity and sharp humour. Over the years, she'd become close friends with Chris Dixon, better known as ChrisMD, a fellow YouTuber with a penchant for football content.
For years, their friendship had been nothing but platonic. They'd filmed countless videos together, shared inside jokes, and supported each other through breakups and career slumps. They both invested into The Fellas Studio’s which meant they had office and production spaces in the building, on the same floor. But three months ago, something shifted. A late-night conversation in Chris’s office turned into a lingering glance, which turned into a kiss, which turned into them falling into a relationship neither of them had seen coming.
Chris lived in a flat with fellow content creators George Clarke and Arthur Hill, Y/N, being a frequent visitor to Chris’s flat, naturally spent time with their pair of them as well. In particular Y/N and George hit it off instantly, their shared sense of humour leading to a fast friendship. However, Y/N and Chris had decided to keep their relationship private for now. They didn’t want the pressure of public opinion or fan theories while they were still navigating the early stages of being a couple. They had both been down that road before with relationships somewhat playing out on screen so they wanted to things to be for themselves for a while until they were ready to share. What they hadn’t anticipated was how quickly the internet would misinterpret Y/N and George’s friendship.
It all started one Friday night Y/N leaned back against the couch in Chris, Arthur and George's living room, scrolling through her phone. George sat beside her, editing a TikTok they'd just filmed a chaotic dance routine that involved several failed attempts and a lot of laughter.
"This is gold," George said, grinning as he watched the video.
"Pure comedy genius," Y/N agreed, sipping her wine as Chris was sat on the other sofa, a bemused smile on his face as he had watched all of the chaos unfold in front of him they did try to rope him into it too but Chris could be very stubborn.
The Tiktok had it’s fans, and they noticed that Y/N and George started posting several photos and videos together over the next few weeks, often tagging each other and teasing back and forth in the comments. Even when the weren’t together To them, it was harmless fun. To their fans, it was evidence of something more.
George Clarkeey- I’m on a boat MF
Y/N- a Picture of you and all the women you’ve ever chatted up.
Y/N Loving my new view in my flat.
George Clarkeey- Wear your bloody glasses for once and you’ll be able to see it.
On Twitter, hashtags like #Y/NAndGeorge and #NewYouTubeCouple were started to creep up. Fan edits of their TikToks flooded Instagram, accompanied by captions like, "Their chemistry is undeniable!" and "We ship it!"
Y/N showed one of the posts to George, who burst out laughing.
"They think we’re dating?" he said, eyes wide.
"Apparently," Y/N replied, shaking her head.
Chris walked into the room just then, his hair damp from a shower. "What’s so funny?" he asked, sitting on the armrest of the couch beside Y/N.
"People think I’m dating George," Y/N said, showing him the post.
Chris smirked, but there was a flicker of something in his eyes something like irritation. "Well, that’s... creative."
"Relax, Dixon," George said, clapping Chris on the back. "Your girlfriend's too classy for me."
"True," Y/N teased, earning a playful nudge from George.
As the weeks went on, the rumours only grew. Every time Y/N and George posted something together, fans speculated further. Chris tried to laugh it off, it wasn’t something they had expected to happen when they kept their relationship quiet and in all honesty it was quite a welcome distraction in some ways. He trusted Y/N completely, but seeing fans ship her with someone else—especially his flatmate—was frustrating. He couldn’t say anything publicly without revealing their relationship, and he didn’t want to be the jealous boyfriend, not that he was jealous he wasn’t ready to share things with the world just yet but there was a part of him that was quite it wasn’t him and Y/N who were getting the attention, there was still a big part of him that wanted to shout out his feelings from the rooftops and he felt a little guilty that he couldn’t always show her how much she meant to him in the way that he wanted to.
The rumours reached a fever pitch when a paparazzi photo surfaced of Y/N and George grabbing coffee together. In the picture, George was holding the door open for Y/N, who was laughing at something he’d said. The internet went wild.
“They’re so cute together!”
“Look at my boy all growing up.”
“I swear George has been crushing on her for ages.”
What people didn’t know was George and Y/N were picking up a coffee before going shopping together as George asked Y/N’s help to get him something for Chris’s birthday.
Then came the podcast
Max kicked off the episode with his usual sarcastic charm. "We’ve got a very special guest today—YouTube royalty herself, Y/N! Applause, please."
George clapped dramatically, making Y/N roll her eyes with a laugh.
"Thanks for having me, boys," Y/N said, settling into her seat.
She talked about making Youtube videos, including some of her silliest moments travelling including having three airlines go bust, a ton of lost luggage including a lot of expensive camera equipment and thoughts she was going to die when a plane she was on almost flew into a hurricane.
“People think my personal life is really interesting too,” Y/N started with a grin, a small glint also showed up in George’s eye, they were well aware of what people were saying and while they did nothing to fan the flames they didn’t stoke the fire either. They were friends, friends hung out together that was all it was. Y/N continued “but really I think because I travel a lot when I am home I just tend to hang out really. I do really like to cook actually George I need to give you lessons,” she added with a smile on her face. George sighed and slumped down in his chair slightly.
“It’s not that bad,” he tried to defend himself but it fell on deaf eyes. Max looked with an amused smirk as Y/N sat up straighter in his chair, leaning forward.
"Not that bad? Do you remember last week when you tried to make toast and somehow managed to burn it? Like, the smoke alarm went off, George. It’s toast. It has one job."
Max burst out laughing, while George groaned again. "Why do you have to bring that up? It was one time!"
"Once is all it takes to lose your cooking privileges," Y/N teased.
The conversation quickly shifted to other topics, but fans latched onto Y/N’s comment.
Clips of the episode went viral almost immediately, particularly Y/N’s anecdote about George burning toast. Fans dissected her casual delivery, honing in on one detail: why was Y/N there in the morning to witness it?
Twitter was flooded with speculation.
“Wait, Y/N was at George’s flat in the MORNING? 👀”
“They’re not even trying to hide it anymore!”
“So Y/N and George are definitely dating, right? She’s roasting his cooking like a true girlfriend.”
Y/N saw the posts later that evening and couldn’t help but laugh. She sent a screenshot of one particularly dramatic fan theory to George and Chris in their group chat.
Y/N: Apparently, I’m your girlfriend now because you can’t cook toast.
George: I mean, to be fair, I’d date me too.
Chris: This is getting ridiculous. You should’ve just told them you were there because of me. Plus George I can still smell burnt toast, whenever I walk into the kitchen I think I’m having a stroke, I’m useless.
Y/N: And ruin the mystery? Never.
George: Chris I thought you had Y/N to give you a stroke now?
Y/N:FFS George
Despite their lighthearted texts, Chris couldn’t shake the unease that lingered after the episode aired. Fans were taking Y/N’s story and running with it, creating elaborate timelines and theories about her supposed relationship with George.
One evening, as Chris and Y/N curled up on the couch watching a movie, he sighed.
"What’s wrong?" Y/N asked, glancing up at him.
"Just... all this George stuff," he admitted. "I know it’s dumb, but I hate that people think you’re with him. Like, we’re together, and no one knows."
Y/N’s expression softened. "Chris, they’re just having fun with their theories. It doesn’t change anything between us."
"I know," he said, running a hand through his hair. "It’s just hard sometimes, seeing people say stuff like that."
Y/N pressed a kiss to his cheek. "Well, if it helps, I’m planning something that’ll clear everything up soon."
Chris raised an eyebrow. "Should I be worried?"
"Probably," she said with a grin.
It took another couple of week but Chris and Y/N decided enough was enough, they were ready to share. Plus the rumours were becoming too ridiculous to ignore. Fans were dissecting every interaction between her and George, claiming they were secretly in love, there was even one rumour the pair were getting engaged, it was definitely going too far.
She drafted an Instagram post, carefully choosing her words. Then, with a mischievous smile, she typed the caption:
“Sorry, been f**ing the wrong flatmate 🙃.”*
Y/N hit “post” and set her phone down.
Within minutes, her notifications exploded.
Fans were in a frenzy.
“WAIT WHAT?!”
“We’ve been duped!”
“I knew it was Chris all along!”
“The flatmate comment has me dead 💀.”
“Great cover story, I never would have predicted this.”
With their relationship public, Y/N and Chris felt a weight lift off their shoulders. They no longer had to hide their affection, and the rumours about Y/N and George quickly faded.
As for George, he milked the situation for all it was worth, joking in videos about being the “rejected flatmate” and pretending to be heartbroken. He posted his own photo of him and Arthur Hill, with the caption trying to make a certain someone jealous.
In the end, the chaos only brought them closer together. Y/N and Chris continued to share glimpses of their relationship with their fans, proving that sometimes, the best stories are the ones you don’t see coming.

One aspect of TikTok that's faded, but which was the major driver of panic about it for most of its life, was the TikTok Challenge: the moral panic about dangerous or offensive trends on TikTok that were taking over.
And I do mean moral panic because even basic research turns up that the majority of TikTok Challenge stories were unfounded, or exaggerated.
Many of them straight-up didn't happen. There are trends that never had a challenge attached at all, like Momo, but others were never a thing on TikTok at all. The stories have a similar form to them. For instance, there was once the "shoot up your school challenge" that sparked a huge series of warnings and cries to repeal Section 230 and ban this sick filth...and then, at the very end of those stories, an acknowledgement that there was no source video - that no one had found evidence it existed on TikTok at all.
Let's define a "challenge", because any bad thing that happens on TikTok was branded a "challenge". But in my view, it has to contain, well, a challenge: some element of showing yourself doing it, and then daring others to do it, too. As we'll see, it's actually pretty difficult to find evidence many challenges ever existed
One of the more well-documented is the alleged Benadryl challenge. In mid-2020, a trio of teens overdosed on Benadryl and claimed they got the idea from a TikTok claiming you can get high off taking it. They were treated at the hospital, and TikTok deleted the video in question and blocked the relevant hashtags. But then a couple months later stories about Benadryl overdose deaths started attributing it to the "Benadryl challenge". But...all they were doing was citing the original story as proof the challenge existed. A story that doesn't include a challenge, and where the TikTok video referenced had been deleted and the topic blocked. When a reporter actually investigated, they found no evidence of any challenge videos, and found that, just as TikTok had said, the search itself was blocked. In other words, and this is a trend you see a lot in coverage, the existence of a panic about something on TikTok meant everything sprang from TikTok: because of that story, any teen overdosing on Benadryl *had* to have gotten the idea from a TikTok challenge - TikTok had to be grafted on to every relevant story regardless of relevance, and each new story including it became more evidence it was all down to TikTok. Because teens would never do something irresponsible without an app...would they?
So let's talk about the elephant in the room. Tide pods. The Tide pod challenge was a thing, but it was not a thing to the extent that the media made it into a thing. So how many teens ate Tide pods?
86. Non-stop global media coverage for months over 86 teens doing a stupid stunt. While over 10,000 kids were accidentally exposed to laundry detergent in the year before with hardly any coverage. Discussions over, hey, maybe memes aside it's bad for children to have this dangerous thing look so colorful essentially stopped completely thanks to this panic, during which time stories about children unknowingly eating Tide pods were folded into the panic and attributed to the Tide Pod Challenge. Discussion of actual product safety, discussion of how to prevent harm to over TEN THOUSAND people, had to give way to a moral panic about 86
86 sounds bad, but is a really small number in the scheme of things - and absolutely disproportionate to the media coverage, which lasted for months and endlessly blasted all young people for eating Tide Pods.
There are others. For instance, after Kia failed to include an anti-theft device in their cars, thefts of Kia cars skyrocketed, and some young joyriders posted videos of this on TikTok and other platforms - and posted guides on how to do it yourself. These videos were removed, but somehow "someone posted a guide to steal an easy-to-steal car online" turned into "there's a challenge on TikTok daring you to steal cars" which then turned into attributing all thefts of the car without anti-theft tech in it to TikTok. But in this case, there is a source video, an original video that made stealing Kias look cool.
It was posted on Youtube.
"Slap a Teacher" went viral, and was a complete hoax, as was NyQuil Chicken. Many of the videos in the "Devious Licks" challenge were, as well, hoaxes. These stories go viral enough to spark a well-meaning FDA warning saying hey, don't do this, which is taken as evidence that people were doing it. But in just about every case, it's relatively few people, or the challenge didn't exist. The stories have a familiar form: description of death or incident, statement from concerned parents, interviews with cops and maybe a child psychologist, and then a denial from TikTok. What these stories rarely, if ever, include is any citations of where on TikTok the challenge began, or any independent research into them. Notably, even stories admitting it's a hoax often go on to talk about how we need to control it anyway. When TikTok said a video didn't exist on their platform, it's natural to suspect the social media corporation of lying, but oddly they appear to have been telling the truth most of the time, and were rightly saying content didn't exist or only made up a few videos stopped early on.
(I'm mainly talking about America, but this happened internationally, too. There was, as I understand it, a major panic about the "Charlie Charlie" challenge in Latin America - indeed, it was the panic that brought it to the Anglosphere - but it was, you know. Literally just Ouija boards/Bloody Mary. Meanwhile, the "Blue Whale" challenge started in Russia, off a reporter essentially imagining a game because two teens who died by suicide had images of blue whales on their computers, but there's no evidence of any challenge - but the press, normally reluctant to report on suicides, rushed to give breathless coverage to teen suicides - which, after all, only happen due to the Blue Whale game - likely causing copycats of a game that never existed. Most ridiculously, when a video of a creepy statue of Michael Jackson went viral, Mexican police warned parents about the "Ayuwoki Challenge". Which was...looking at a creepy statue of Michael Jackson online)
But let's address the real elephant in the room. Of the TikTok challenges that really took place to some degree, what are they? Devious Licks was about vandalizing school property. The Tide Pod challenge and its ilk were about eating something stupid. The Milk Crate challenge and its like were about doing dangerous stunts.
And I experienced TikTok challenges like this when I was in high school. I remember this group of kids who egged one of their number on to punch glass, which shredded their hand; I remember people being dared to snort pixie stix dust off the table; I remember people stealing the soap dispensers from the bathroom and the mouse balls out of the mice, because oh wait, it wasn't TikTok challenges, all that happened when I was in 9th grade in 2004
The TikTok challenges that are *real* are just...routine teen misbehavior? Being attributed to an app ruining the kid's minds. Teenagers have been peer pressuring each other into doing stupid things since time immemorial; it didn't start because of phones.
The people who spread these panics did or saw equally dumb things when they were that age. Now that they're older, and parents themselves, it's scary and dangerous. How do you reconcile that? You don't - what you did as a kid was an innocent prank, the same acts happening now are scary and Never Happened When I Was A Kid. So there must be some explanation. In the 80s it was metal music, in the 90s & 00s it was video games, and in the 2020s it was TikTok Challenges. There always has to be some media corrupting the youth into doing what the youth have always done, because "you grew up and became more mature and aware of your own mortality" is not an option you want to dwell on. Meanwhile, actual harmful trends go unnoticed; most of the people who spent a year dunking on teens bc 86 people ate Tide Pods have no idea about how many teen boys have become, essentially, cultists for figures like Andrew Tate or how hard they're being recruited; coverage was lavished on challenges that never existed, but not on true crime obsessives starting a hate campaign claiming a trans woman on TikTok was a serial killer
There are two other factors here. One is a drive to not take the issues facing young people seriously. This has been a long-term function for moral panics - since it's easier to say kids don't face any real problems, they're just being corrupted by outsiders, and we just need to ban video games or "Satanic" music or Slenderman or TikTok challenges to 'fix' it. You had real problems as a teen; but these kids today, they're just whiners. If teens no longer overdose or act out or harm themselves for any reason but Being Told To Online, then there's no need to look any deeper at society
The other is that the defining moral panic since 2020 has been the idea that young people are a barely-literate fascistic mob of unruly hooligans who are acting out More Than Ever, a moral panic that's being used to push legislation that harshly cracks down on the rights of young people and their access to society and their ability to be independent from their parents. But I heard some anecdotes that kids are, like, totally mean now when they never were before so it's probably true, and we should make them their parent's property to stop it
#moral panics#long post#tiktok#sorry for the novel these are absolutely not the notes for another project#i'm putting out like this bc TikTok's ban makes the subject moot and hard to research

The Piña Colada Song Challenge
Summer is in full swing in the Northern hemisphere and what better way to cool off is there than a fruity drink? Based on the 1979 song “Escape” by Rupert Holmes, better known as The Piña Colada Song, this challenge invites us to wonder about how Mulder and Scully might fall in love with each other if they didn’t know who they were talking to.
The premise: Mulder and Scully fall in love talking via classified ads, chatrooms, message boards, smoke signals, TikTok comment sections, Discord servers, physical bulletin boards, telegrams, tin cans on a string, or any anonymous form of communication you can think of. At some point in the work, they meet in person and their true identities are revealed. You can decide how the story ends.
It can be any stage of MSR (pre-established relationship, established relationship, or “divorce” era). It can be canon compliant or any alternative universe. It can be rated any level of maturity. It can be any length. It can be a fanfic, fanart or mood boards . The only rules are that you need to tag any trigger warnings, and you cannot use AI. Post your finished work to Tumblr with the hashtag "#msr pina colada challenge" (as below) by July 31st!

I need them to make another season of House MD with all the same cast members reprising their roles. there are so many “new” aspects they could explore now with how much things and technology changed since the last ep aired.
someone here literally mentioned Chase secretly having an OF account if the show aired today. absolutely yes. absolutely in character for him.
imagine House saying how much he hates TikTok but secretly has a TikTok account where he trash talks Cuddy and Wilson, but because he has them blocked, they didn’t know he trash talked about them on TikTok to millions of his followers until a patient came in one day and went “omg you’re doctor House with the Cane (capital C). and omg is that Wilson? THEE Wilson?! omg are you doctor Cuddy? I’ve heard so much about you!!” and House was just “no, I didn’t block either of you because I was talking shit about you. I blocked you because you’re annoying and I don’t want your presence on my TikTok. it is my personal space. do I hate the app? of course, I do. that doesn’t mean I can’t use it to tell millions of my followers how annoying you two are.”
Cameron trying to tell House the severity of Cancel Culture and how they can ruin his career if he doesn’t stop being insensitive about everything. and House insisting that he’s “above Cancel Culture”. maybe he is. or maybe he’s not. but the point is that he doesn’t give a shit if a bunch of teenagers try to cancel him on twitter / x. Cuddy can’t fire him just because he’s “cancelled”. and he’s not going to jail or losing his license for being an ass and getting “cancelled” with the hashtag #DoctorHouseIsOverParty on twitter every other week.
a patient who live streams everything and making it difficult for House and the team to treat them?
a dumb TikTok challenge that ended in dozens of people being rushed to the hospital?
House eventually getting accused of being addicted to TikTok by Cuddy and trying to prove her wrong only to end up proving her right and that he is, in fact, addicted to the app he “can’t stand”?
Foreman and Cameron being the only ones who actually dislike social media like TikTok and how distracting they are / how they’re the reason people (idiots) got rushed to the hospital?
Chase losing a bet and having to do a TikTok dance for House to post?
I need a modern version of House MD (but with the same cast) please. they can completely ignore the original ending and pretend it didn’t happen if that’s what it takes. idc I just need 2025 House

Amee Vanderpool at SHERO:
Donald Trump signed a sweeping executive order on January 20, declaring: "a national emergency exists at the southern border of the United States, and that section 12302 of title 10, United States Code, is invoked and made available." Trump further instructed Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth to submit a report by February 20 "outlining all actions taken to fulfill the requirements and objectives of this proclamation." The executive order also notifies the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of Homeland Security that within 90 days, they must submit "a joint report about the conditions at the southern border of the United States and any recommendations regarding additional actions that may be necessary to obtain complete operational control of the southern border, including whether to invoke the Insurrection Act of 1807." The April 20 deadline, denoted by the 90 order for a report, lists a critical caveat that has caused a stir online thanks to social media influencers who are not entirely versed in the law or civics. This referenced portion is the legally pertinent section of the order that has caused the ensuing confusion online. It reads: "…any recommendations regarding additional actions that may be necessary to obtain complete operational control of the southern border, including whether to invoke the Insurrection Act of 1807."
The hashtag #martiallaw has been used so far in 21.5k posts across TikTok, and many of those posts refer to the April 20 deadline denoted by the demand for that 90-day January report. In a now-deleted video, TikTok user @Aja_Ky pointed to the executive order tied to the Department of Defense and Homeland Security and said: "The only way [Trump] has to do this is to declare and publish a proclamation that orders these parties to disperse." In another video with over 16,000 likes, user @AppalachianPrepper3.0 said that he's "been hearing a lot of talk about this date," referring to the April 20 deadline to invoke the Insurrection Act. The Insurrection Act of 1807 combines a series of laws enacted by Congress between 1792 and 1871, explicitly addressing utilizing the military force of federal troops within the United States. The act is an exception to the Posse Comitatus Act, which is meant to prevent a sitting president from using the federal military or National Guard as a domestic police force. To invoke the Insurrection Act, Posse Comitatus is suspended. Troops can legally be deployed under three sections of the Insurrection Act. The first is if a state legislature or governor requests federal aid to suppress an insurrection in that state. The second exemption is legally created if the president correctly determines there have been "unlawful obstructions, combinations, or assemblages, or rebellion [make it] impracticable to enforce the laws of the United States." The president can also invoke the act without a state's permission under two other scenarios: "any insurrection, domestic violence, unlawful combination, or conspiracy" hinders the state's ability or desire to execute laws that specifically protect people's constitutional rights or "any insurrection, domestic violence, unlawful combination, or conspiracy" obstructs the executive of the law or course of justice under those laws.
[...] The question remains: can Donald Trump invoke martial law on April 20 at the southern border based on the executive order he issued in January? The short answer is that Donald Trump can attempt to institute martial law based on his order, but if he is challenged in Court, his legal team will have to prove that he legally fulfilled the requirements specified above. Trump has given his notice to disperse according to the law, but the legal questions will focus on his reasoning and the factual data he uses to support his argument. There is little doubt that Trump intended to get attention with the deadline date of April 20, which is a fairly obvious nod to Adolph Hitler and the Nazi Regime. But, predicting Trump's behavior has become impossible, so it is essential to look at what will happen if he declares martial law on that date or soon thereafter. An opposing party with standing to sue the Trump administration will undoubtedly and immediately file a petition in Texas to stay the invocation of the insurrection act while the lower Court hears the case challenging Trump's authority. The odds of a conservative judge hearing the case at the lower court level are high, but that does not mean that a constitutionalist would be willing to look past any attempted overreach. The losing party will appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. It is important to note that during his first administration, Donald Trump appointed six judges to that Court, which is regarded as the most conservative Court of Appeals. That ruling will likely next be appealed to the United States Supreme Court, where the majority of Justices are also conservative.
There are rumors abound that Donald Trump plans to declare martial law on April 20th, which is Easter. As of now, there are no indications that we’ll see a declaration on that date.
Still, this is something that you should pay close attention to, should such a declaration come down at any point.

Witchcraft in the Digital Age
The 21st century didn’t just bring us smartphones, social media, and memes—it also ushered witchcraft into the technological spotlight. With the power of Wi-Fi and a little keyboard magic, witches from all over the world can connect, learn, and cast spells in ways that our broomstick-riding ancestors couldn’t have dreamed of. Let’s explore how the digital age has revolutionized witchcraft, from online covens to the rise of TikTok witches, and everything in between.
From Grimoires to Google Docs: Sharing Knowledge in the Digital Realm
In the pre-internet days, learning witchcraft often required finding a mentor, stumbling upon the right dusty book in the back of a shop, or deciphering cryptic information passed down orally. Now, a quick Google search can teach you how to cleanse your crystals, create moon water, or banish negative energy—all without leaving your couch.
The internet has democratized access to witchcraft, tearing down barriers that once kept this knowledge elusive. Blogs, YouTube channels, and digital libraries offer endless resources on every kind of practice imaginable. Whether you’re into Wicca, Hoodoo, traditional witchcraft, or chaos magic, there’s a treasure trove of information waiting to be explored. This accessibility has also helped reclaim and preserve marginalized magical traditions, giving practitioners a platform to share their practices and connect with others.
Hashtag Hexes: Social Media and the Rise of the Digital Witch
Social media platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and Pinterest have given witchcraft a visually stunning makeover. Witchy influencers share photos of perfectly curated altars, short how-to videos, and aesthetic spell tutorials that look as good as they (hopefully) work. But it’s TikTok, affectionately nicknamed “WitchTok,” that has truly taken the digital cauldron by storm.
On WitchTok, creators share everything from beginner tips to elaborate rituals, often condensed into bite-sized videos with trending audio tracks. Want to learn about planetary correspondences or the best herbs for protection spells? There’s a TikTok for that. Need a quick guide to reading tarot? Someone’s already made a video with helpful graphics and snarky commentary.
While WitchTok has made witchcraft more accessible and engaging for younger generations, it’s not without its quirks (or curses, depending on who you ask). Viral trends like the infamous “hexing the moon” incident highlight the occasional clash between traditional practitioners and younger, less experienced witches. However, these moments also spark important discussions about respect, responsibility, and the need for deeper knowledge.
Digital Covens: Finding Your Community Online
Gone are the days when witches had to rely solely on local communities or secret gatherings to find their covens. Today, online forums, Discord servers, and Facebook groups have become virtual meeting spaces for witches of all paths. These digital covens offer a space to share spells, ask questions, and support one another, all while sipping tea in your pajamas.
The inclusivity of online spaces has been a game-changer for those who might not have access to in-person communities. Witches in conservative areas, individuals with disabilities, and those who prefer solitary practice can still feel connected to a broader magical network. Platforms like Reddit’s r/witchcraft or specialized apps like Amino provide spaces for open dialogue, mentorship, and collaboration.
Of course, online communities have their challenges. Differing opinions, misinformation, and the occasional “gatekeeper” can make these spaces tricky to navigate. But for many witches, the benefits far outweigh the drawbacks.
The Curse of Misinformation
While the internet has made witchcraft more accessible, it’s also created a breeding ground for misinformation. Not every TikTok spell or Pinterest graphic is accurate—or safe. Some “quick fixes” can lead to unintended consequences (like burning cinnamon on charcoal and nearly setting off the fire alarm) or appropriating practices without understanding their cultural significance.
It’s become increasingly important for modern witches to verify their sources, cross-reference information, and approach their craft with respect and curiosity. The digital age might make learning easier, but it also requires a critical eye to separate authentic wisdom from clickbait magic.
The E-Commerce Boom: Spell Kits, Crystals, and Online Witch Shops
The rise of e-commerce has transformed how witches gather their tools. Need ethically sourced sage, a crescent moon-shaped candle, or a deck of oracle cards? Etsy, Amazon, and countless independent online shops have got you covered. You can even have spell kits delivered to your doorstep, complete with instructions and pre-measured ingredients.
While this convenience is undeniably appealing, it’s also sparked debates within the community. Concerns about over-harvesting herbs like white sage, the exploitation of crystal miners, and the commercialization of spiritual practices have led many witches to seek sustainable and ethical alternatives. Supporting small businesses and researching sourcing practices are key ways to ensure your magic aligns with your values.
The Rise of Witchcraft Apps and Digital Tools
In the digital age, there’s an app for everything—including witchcraft. Astrology apps like Co-Star and The Pattern provide daily horoscopes and personalized birth chart insights, while moon phase trackers help witches plan their rituals around lunar cycles. Tarot apps, spell planners, and even virtual altars make it easier than ever to integrate magic into everyday life.
These tools are especially useful for witches on the go or those looking to organize their practice in a more structured way. However, as with all technology, it’s important to balance convenience with mindfulness. After all, no app can replace the personal connection and intuition that lie at the heart of witchcraft.
Social Justice and Activism in the Digital Age
The internet has also amplified witchcraft’s role in social justice and activism. Modern witches often use their platforms to advocate for causes like climate change, racial justice, and LGBTQ+ rights, blending their magical practices with activism. Hexing political figures, creating protection spells for protestors, and fundraising for marginalized communities are just a few examples of how digital witches are making their voices heard.
This intersection of magic and activism has strengthened witchcraft’s position as a tool for empowerment and resistance. The digital age has given witches the power not just to connect with each other, but to amplify their collective voices and effect real-world change.
The Future of Witchcraft in the Digital Era
As technology continues to evolve, so too will witchcraft. Virtual reality rituals, AI-powered tarot readings, and blockchain-based spell trading might sound like something out of a sci-fi novel, but they’re closer than you think. The digital age has opened up endless possibilities for innovation, creativity, and connection in the magical community.
But even as witchcraft embraces the future, its essence remains timeless. At its core, magic is about intention, connection, and transformation—whether you’re casting a spell by candlelight or clicking “like” on a WitchTok video.
Witchcraft in the digital age is a vibrant, dynamic blend of ancient tradition and modern innovation. It’s a world where hashtags meet history, and technology bridges the gap between solitary practitioners and global communities. While the digital realm presents its share of challenges, it’s ultimately given witches a platform to thrive, connect, and reimagine what it means to practice magic in the 21st century.

Daichi Headcanons ❤️ - NSFW
Here he is! The man the myth the legend 🥰
Written in his memory 😔 RIP Daichi
Warnings: mentions of daddy kink, choking, and various position but nothing super explicit
Minors are not allowed to interact and stay out of the cut! Minors DNI!!
I murdered my beta’s like Tanaka murdered Daichi
Check out my headcanons for Tsukki and Kyoutani
Sexy driver pt2. One hand on the wheel, the other holding yours. Just watching his arms flex as he changes gears is enough to have you flustered. Always opens your door for you and helps you get in. Let’s you pick the music and pulls over if you want takeout
Concedes the aux cord but has pretty good taste in music. Prefers more mellow sounds. Indie, jazz, soft rock. He takes you to local shows as dates and will either watch you dance, or hold you close to slow jams. FestivalDaichi! is a new man. Get him drunk and he gets handsy. (Drunk kisses 🤤)
Just loves to spend time with you. The best day out partner. Breakfast at a cafe in the morning, holds your bags and your hand. He doesn't complain if you wanna try on clothes or shoes or browse games, he’s just genuinely happy to be there
A handyman. Owns a tool belt that you bought him and looks damn good in it too. Puts up shelves, fixes sinks, cleans gutters, mows lawns. And if it’s summer, then you have a shirtless handyman to boot. (Note to self: handman Daichi 😌)
Speaking of shirtless Daichi, because of his rota at the firestation (hashtag: FiremanDaichiForLife) he prefers to workout at home. He works out in the garden when it’s warm, and in the living room when it’s cooler. Either way, you have a free show at least twice a week. He will let you sit on his back while he does push ups, or hold you while he squats
Will indulge all your couple tiktok challenges with a sheepish grin, and fondness in your eyes. The comments are full of ‘get you a man who looks at you like that’
This man is romantic. I’m talking candlelit dinner, flowers for no reason, surprise lunch at your workplace. He’s just a modern, old-fashioned man who treats you like a treasure
The king of soft intimacy. Cooking together. Baths together. Wine and candles in your living room. Cuddles, cuddles, cuddles. Play with his hair and you risk just putting him straight to sleep, but who can resist the world’s best weighted blanket.
Daichi is forever your personal cheerleader. He supports all your choices, dreams, and goals. He’ll give you advice, or talk through anything you’re hesitant on. Even if they’re whimsical. You wanna start dance classes. He’ll go to any recital. You decide to switch to marathon running, he’ll be there with a sign and a gallon of water. Cosplay, chocolate making, fanfiction 😉. He doesn’t care, as long as you’re happy
Call. Him. Daddy. And let him fuck you into the mattress or kitchen table, or sofa, or floor as a result
I touched on this briefly once, but choke him. You are Not in charge, but he just loves the feeling of your hand on his throat. The flutter of your fingers as he makes you cum
An ass man through and through. At this point his fingerprints are embedded in your ass cheeks from the way he grips them. Doggy; he’s spanking you. Missionary; he’s using your ass as leverage. Riding him; better believe he’s squeezing it as he makes you bounce harder.
Speaking of handy men, he has big hands and puts them to good use. Sits you on his lap and fingers you until he thinks you’re ready
Thick thighs save lives, and Daichi wants you to ride his. He’ll lick your nipples while you do, and basks in the mess you make on his thighs as a result (clearly my thoughts revolve around sitting in his lap and having a great time)
Without fail, will pull them panties to the side. Even on days when you have time to get naked. Loves the way you look in lingerie and loves the way you soak the fabric when he makes you cum
Daichi just make brain go brrr. Nothing but respect for my husband captain
