#a life where she is safe

Yeah, so while I was on my "I'm going to read into Vanny/Vanessa as much as possible" journey, I noticed an odd quirk in her animations in how she moves. At first, I thought it reminded me of a ballerina, 'cause she's kinda tip-toeing, & she has this way of keeping her head & chest in one place as she moves, but I looked again & realized --

That's not ballet! She's doing a tight-rope act. Like, look at this one:

This is like standing up on the wooden boards before you do the actual tight-rope walking, & the ring leader is hyping you up as you do some fun movement for the crowds. &, then, these:

These are all instances where she walks with one foot directly in front of the other. In that third, she's doing the "woaaah" wiggly-ass balance movements & everything, as if she's swaying up at the top of the tent, even though she's down on solid ground.

Idk, I feel like the way her feet are placed isn't accurate (pretty sure they should be pointed left & right, not both forwards...) doesn't make this 100% correct, but I like it. It also connects back with her first SB teaser, wherein she's up in the rafters.

Last night was a thing, lol.

Let me set the scene -

It's midnight on Halloween, I'm in bed, and I may or may not be falling asleep with the help of a chewable night cap. When suddenly one of the dogs starts barking his fool head off. I contemplate ignoring it and rolling over. Except I realize he's barking because someone is knocking at the door.

It's my neighbor from across the street. (Older than me, younger than my parents.) She is extremely distraught. She's a nurse and just got off work. While coming in a possum ran into her garage.

I, admittedly, and not understanding why this is a big deal. But she's not originally from the US so I explain that possums are not a threat. They're known for playing dead. She's not reassured.

So I dutifully go over and attempt to search her garage. It's very full of things so I didn't find it. As I was searching a pair of cops, which she'd apparently called, show up. Lady cop and I share a look because it's a possum. Dude cop is young and twitchier than a long tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs. He's got one hand on his gun the entire time.

At one point dude cop backs into a garage can and fully jumps at least a foot into the air before spinning around - hand still on his gun. I need this twit to leave before he shoots some poor neighbor's dog, possibly mine.

I go back to my garage to grab a trap to set up and some cat food to bait it with. I assure everyone that I have this handled and the cops are happy to leave. I promise neighbor I'll check the trap again in the morning, and after work if need be. She gives me a garage door opener.

The funniest part of this whole thing is that her husband and sons, both double digits in age, are in the house. But it's my door she knocked on.

Anyway, haven't caught it yet but while periodically check for it and then release it in a more wooded part of the neighborhood. Also she's insisting on making me homemade Persian food - which I didn't argue too hard against because both her and her mother are excellent cooks.

Now that we have a solid confirmation that UTTU cards can not only projects images, but even sounds and smells...

Do you think Vertin collects Schneider's cards just so she doesn't forget her? Like, it's strange that Schneider so far has been the only nonplayable character with UTTU cards. And what we know from her...UTTU still considers her enough of an arcanist to even have cards of her own. Imagine one of the other reasons why Vertin goes to UTTU is for these cards...

Damangela lives rent free on smoshtwt

...but in the most unfortunate way because have they not seen from this fixation of theirs that there's a section of us who will have a field day if Damien surprise us one day as a guest in a Starkid prod? Or another variant at Smosh where both Angela and Damien can showcase their talents and intellect? Their chaotic bickering is like treats because there's also other Smosh duos that have it too. But those fewer times where they truly shine, whether they're in the same video or not, really feels like a reward to witness it unfold.

(I am one of those who like this duo because of their musical inclinations and astounded by their way of thinking)

I simply don't know what they are trying to impose. The perfect person podcast really sealed it to me. That if what they imply is she only tolerates every interaction she had with him is simply off the marks. The pièce de résistance they can't ever refute.

Is it also not a tad reaching to practically put it on blast with their straw picking speculation that it was a Damien thing where they perceived him not being as socially adept in a way he is not in good terms to his coworkers? That's not a good look to give to someone who was masking before.

Smoshtwt can be too much sometimes,

I think I finally figured out why the interactions between here (tumblr) and there (Twitter) are so different - They partake in 'Stan' culture, while over here is a bit more rooted in classic 'Fandom' culture.

If you didn't know, 'Stan' comes from combining 'Stalker' and 'Fan' (I believe originating in the K-pop community) (though if you google it, it says it comes from an Eminem song. Funny, but I don't think that's right) so it's a bit more... intense. (either origin for 'Stan' is pretty extreme though)

That and Twitter in general festers a more hostile community. The more you make someone mad the more they interact with you, so Twitter pushes that content because of that.

(Back to your ask)

I don't know if I could physically watch a Starkid production with Damien in it, PURELY because I'd be TOO DAMN HAPPY. I'd be pausing every second and hyperventilating lol. (fr though, that would be SO FUCKING COOL!!)

It's maybe a little bit of a weird relation but, their dynamic to me is like watching a movie with incredible writing? For example of what I mean by that- Their Reddit Stories Ep really had me thinking totally different about all the situations. Literally every story Shayne would read out I would be thinking about what I thought about it, (I like to see if anyone on the couch is going to have similar opinions to me) and every. single. story. Angela and Damien came up with points I never even thought about, but were SO RIGHT!

He'd bring up something, then she'd dunk it with the most factual thing I've ever heard! (that guy not being able to wear that watch ever in front of his girlfriend !!) That whole episode is so good just for the way they both problem solve and how well they compliment each others opinions! They just have such good dialogue with each other. (Genuinely Oscar worthy writing in that episode of RS)

Every time I come across a post ANYWHERE talking about how they don't get why people even like Damangela because "Angela doesn't even seem to like Damien" it makes my eyes pop out of my skull.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?? DO WE KNOW THE SAME ANGELA AND DAMIEN???

Like the sheer amount they both have gone on record saying how much they enjoy each others presence and love each other doesn't mean anything to them?! The amount they make each other laugh??

Like it really does come across as these Accounts just really not liking Damien more than anything to actually do with his and Angela's dynamic. (I could talk about reasons why Damien comes across as 'awkward' or 'bad with coworkers' to some people at length, but I'll save that for another day)(<-signed, Another Neurodivergent person with people issues <3)

I'm also totally convinced all the people hating on Damangela haven't seen much content with both of them in it. That's the only reason I would accept as to why they hate Damangela so much lol, they truly just don't know what they're missing out on <3

i may be obsessed.

lizzie’s wild life ep3 is so good!! etho’s (the only other pov i’ve seen so far) just pales in comparison to the suspense of lizzie’s. first, she’s down in the caves and jimmy died from a creeper after taunting a half dozen of them. and then she n scar are alone down there, watching the others die inexplicably, having no idea what’s going on (and while I THE VIEWER know there’s malevolent snails, somewhere, creeping up on them!!) i felt like i was watching a horror movie, she had appropriate music n everything. she even had a snail pov segment while it stalked her around the cave

To this day, one of the most tone-setting events for me is Hoh’s death. And even more tone-setting than Hoh’s death is Serena Rinnen’s conversation with Hoh before she closes his eyes, and the fact that she’s one of the first people (if not THE first person) we see get not what she wants, but what she needs from the tower.

And every time I reread, Hoh and Rinnen are the point in the story that reimmerses me in the tragedy of it all.
