Scourge x Ashfur spoof map with implied sexual scenes between the two except the worst they did on screen was make out.

Also someone gave Squirrelflight tits.

Here’s a re-upload

What in the living hell is Staright Boyz and what is the drama behind it?

[voidvoyeur]

boast post but i worked up the courage to look at my final results for my creative writing degree today and guess who graduated with first class honours !!! 😭😭 

to celebrate i was thinking of hosting a stream / rabbitcast of the OG halloween, just have no idea what time due to WHACK time zones .. maybe saturday night (gmt) ?? hmmmm 

also i’ve made a self-indulgent mix for the music that was playin on the radio in the car michael stole lmao. i kept within 60s and 70s for most part -- first 8 tracks are when he’s drivin at night, rest of the mix set in the day:  haddonfield cruisin + laurie stalkin. idk .. i just find the idea of a character who looks as impassive as michael listening to supertramp rly funny.. some of the songs are tongue-in-cheek ;-)

Any Vanguard Series

Cardfight! Vanguard (OG series)

haven’t heard of it | absolutely never watching| might watch | currently watching| dropped| hated it | meh| a positive okay| liked it| liked it a lot!| loved it| a favorite

don’t watch period| drop if not interested within 2-3 episodes| give it a go, could be your thing| 5 star recommendation

fav characters: Ishida Naoki, Ren, Aichi, Misaki, Miwa, honestly all the characters are great

least fav characters: Takuto throughout season 2(I called ihm the shitlord for a reason), Kyou(admittedly I hate him less after realizing that he’s probably supposed to be like 12, like Kamui but OG Kyou is still annoying), Nagisa

fav relationship: Like, nearly all of them? Aichi and Kai, Team Q4, Aichi and Misaki, Aichi and his family,

fav moment: Hmmm...idk(it’s been a while since I watched the og series lol). The scene near the end of Legion Mate where Ren shows up to Card Capital in his s1 attire and nearly gives everyone a heart attack. I cackled at that.

headcanons/theories: I’ve shared it before but, Aichi totally kept his Shadow Paladin deck, it only comes out once in a while

unpopular opinion: Also Legion Mate is fun I don’t care what anyone says.

how’d you find it: Sort of by chance. I was in a livestream for Arc V and we ended up running out of stuff to watch but there was still time before the new episode aired and the host was like ‘well, I have some Vanguard we could watch’ so we watched a couple episodes and I got hooked.

random thoughts: If you like card game anime like Yu-Gi-Oh you’ll like Vanguard. The characters and story are great. Also it actually fun filler and slice of life ep, and knows when to trim down fights (and which ones to skim over). The pacing is liiiiitle whack in some places (like season 2, it DRAGS. despite being the shortest season it feels so long).

But it’s good and more people should give it a shot.

Cardfight! Vanguard G

haven’t heard of it | absolutely never watching| might watch | currently watching| dropped| hated it | meh| a positive okay| liked it| liked it a lot!| loved it| a favorite

don’t watch period| drop if not interested within 2-3 episodes| give it a go, could be your thing| 5 star recommendation

fav characters: Chrono, Shion, Taiyou,

least fav characters: Shinonome Shouma can jump in a fire. Also, Dumjid is a lil pissy bitch and I don’t like him either.

fav relationship: Team Trinity Dragon! I love those nerds so much. I was SO prepared for them to be like, the Morikawa of the series and be annoying, especially Tsuneto, but they were actually, great?

fav moment: When Shouma got punched in the face. It was /very/ satisfying.

headcanons/theories: Shin (Misaki’s uncle) is SUPER bi and back in his cardfighting days on Team Nippon had a hella crush on Rive(like, the whole flashback about Rive and Ryuzu, Shin reads as someone whose jealous that their crush is spending time with someone else).

unpopular opinion: I don’t think NEXT and Z are, nearly as bad as everyone makes them out to be??? I enjoyed them but it seems like, I’m the only one??

how’d you find it: I mean, it’s basically the sequel to the first series so I found it that way-and through seeing tweets about it on my tl.

random thoughts: Admittedly the only reason I started G is cause I knew Aichi made a return at some point so I’m like ‘yes I want to see this’. Even though I had to sit through like, 3 and a half seasons lol.

Cardfight! Vanguard - V series (aka the reboot based off the manga)

haven’t heard of it | absolutely never watching| might watch | currently watching| dropped| hated it | meh| a positive okay| liked it| liked it a lot!| loved it| a favorite

don’t watch period| drop if not interested within 2-3 episodes| give it a go, could be your thing| 5 star recommendation

Most of the other things are the same as the OG, so I’m just going to fill out the ‘random thoughts’ for it. Also it’s not yet over (in fact the next arc starts, tomorrow)

Random Thoughts: Kyou is considerably less annoying in this version and Ren actually has a backstory which adds some MUCH needed depth to his character. Since it DOES follow the manga the story progresses really fast but, imo that’s not a bad thing.

Also Aich and Kai’s relationship in the reboot is some A+ stuff

Also it has probably my favourite filler episode of anything ever(which probably falls under ‘favourite moment’).

EPISODE 6: LIKE I’M SPEAKING SPANISH IN REVERSE OR SOMETHING - LILY

I’m really starting to fear for my position in this game. It seems like nobody really is trusting me enough to let me know where the votes are actually going, they just kinda let me PM them and nod their heads like I’m speaking Spanish in reverse or something. For two tribal councils IN A ROW I was just left on the sidelines, having no idea at all about where everyone’s votes were actually going. I just had to bank on the idea that people weren’t lying to me, which… isn’t always true, I guess? Anyway, if I’m the next to be voted out, don’t be shocked or anything lmao

i love amanda, drew and abbey, and i love daisy

So another OG Matterhorn got voted out. It’s kind off that Daisy was voted out because according to Ash, Daisy is close with Logan and he has his hands in like a dozen jars.

Now I’m sitting out for this challenge because I’m at the beach and literally have no chance on getting a score so bless that we won the previous immunity.

I’m hoping the rest of my tribe pull through because I don’t wanna go to tribal council and because I don’t know what to do if tribal comes.

On one hand Zack is a threat because he’s shady and the other is Dom who’s apparently (according to Tyler) is forming alliances left and right. Plus Dom is another one of Logan’s underlings. There’s also Max who is like… meh??? Mess.

My new alliance which is H4rmony is awesome!! I love them all and I can’t believe it took me this long to actually have a solid alliance. We’re looking good because no one really suspects us working together so hopefully it stays that way. I’m praying we’ll be successful as Port Mafia!! Woo shout out to JENN, EDDIE, NICOLE, GENKI and JUNIOR!! <3

Voting Daisy out last round was really tough for me. Part of me kind of regrets it because I think she meant it when she called me out and told me that she trusted me 100% in this game but part of me thinks it could have been the right choice because looking ahead, Daisy is a dangerous player so it was smarter to get her out now. Looking ahead, Logan and Nick really need to be broken up. A strong duo like that still remaining in the game is scary and it’s about time that an original Monte Rosa goes home already.

Looking at it, if we lost the immunity challenge I want something like this:

Votes for Logan or Nick: Abel, Luke, Renee, Lily, Benjamin

Votes for Abel: Logan, Nick

maybe idk whew

Nervous about this challenge so I’m hoping we win again!!! The hosts are completely whack too btw!! What were they on when we get idol clue that allows us chance for idol if we throw challenges???? Luckily I am loyal af to my tribe unlike I’m sure many others. I may not have idol but at least I haven’t betrayed anyone yet. I’m happy with that.

IM SO HAPPY WE WON! THESE BITCHES CAN’T GET RID OF ME JUST FUCKING YET. I’m hoping there’s a swap next because I feel like I’d be with people i can trust either way. Hopefully I’d be able to reconnect with Logan, Nick, Ben, and Luke. I trust those 4 the most (and ashley sarah of course i love her so much)

Lily doesnt want to work with me anymore because I basically have lied to her about the past two votes.. which is fine because we lost immunity and she is probably going home… I just hope we can have a nice clean vote this time, I dont want none of that crazy sheeeet.

Me seconds before immunity results: OMG I feel like we’re gonna lose asdfghjk

Me later:

WTF? Max DID that!! I can’t believe we pulled off a win!! Woo bless them all and rip Zack’s keyboard.

So now these sadistic hosts wants us to rank our tribemates from 1 - 7 with 1 being the one we trust the least and 7 the one we trust the most. I saw this happened in Tenochtitlan and I have a good prediction on what’s gonna happen. It’s obviously another swap duh, and then if my prediction is correct the one is put as the least person they trust on the tribe will be the ones to pick the members of their new tribe. With this knowledge I’m not really sure if I should immediately put Dom on the 1 spot because he could easily regroup with Logan RIP. I don’t know what to do with my rankings rn but I’m praying to God for two things. First is for me to be put on a tribe where I’m in a good position where I’m with my H4rmony alliance and second is for Renee to be safe this tribal. Aaaah I really wanna work with her for real this time!! Fingers crossed that both of my wishes come true!!

It’s been a record of no tribals in this game!!! It makes me super nervous tho. I’m glad we have been so lucky!! Wondering if there will be a double or swap. Hmm glad I have allies on both sides so not too worried!!

whew… i feel like i’m goin, everyone is being so strangely silent this round. i just gotta hope that i find an idol on this search so that i can, y'know, not die

So we lost another immunity challenge…story of my life. After talking a little bit with Renee we’re going to hold off on the plan to split Logan and Nick up for now because we don’t trust Benjamin or Lily enough to not throw us under the bus to benefit themselves. I think tonight will probably just be a simple vote against Lily providing she doesn’t have any immunity idols or any special items.

I think that this is the third round since I got my Tatzelwurm so it could be hatching into something next round which is incredible. I can start thinking about when I want to use that and things like that. Things are going well, I’m proud of how I’m playing because I’ve lowkey ran this thing so far so whew!!

at least i beat my old placement, thats something i guess still kinda pissed that renee didnt get voted out before me, she never spoke to anyone.

pls do my smiley girl Vanessa!

I am so so sorry this took me so long to get to!!!! I had a response all ready to post and then my internet went whack and deleted everything I wrote :/ and since then I’ve been crazy busy with school and volunteering and trying to get enough sleep. Anyway:

Hoo boy Vanessa Bayer is a smiley ray of sunshine and she lights up my life

I have to thank my friend Riley for making me a huge fan of Vanessa (and for getting me into SNL in general) because he once told me his favorite cast members are Kate and Vanessa and made me watch the og High School Theatre Show sketch where Vanessa plays the parent in the audience and the Baby Shower/THE CUT sketch where V is one of the moms. I found both of those sketches to be hilarious and we had a bonfire last summer that just became a “let’s quote these two sketches in particular.” She’s so funny in both her low-key satirical humor and her ridiculous over-the-top stuff. She seems like she’d be so fun to work with and also a great friend to get dinner with or drink wine and watch TV. Basically everything she does is wonderful so here are just a few of my favorite sketches she’s done/characters she’s played/Vanessa-isms:

1) Jacob the Bar Mitzvah Boy: definitely my favorite weekend update character that Vanessa plays. Vanessa said in an interview that Jacob is basically all of the awkward parts of her squished together into a 13-year-old Jewish boy. She embodies the awkward middle school boy SO well that I nearly forget it’s Vanessa, and all of my jewish friends are/were 100% this kid at some point in their youth. I’m not Jewish but I was raised catholic which I would say is kind of like being an orthodox jew in the how we (generally) take our customs very seriously and follow our readings more closely than protestants (no hate on protestants y’all just saying I draw more connections between jews and catholics than jews and any other christian denomination) so I kind of feel like I was Jacob whenever I explained the catholic stuff I had to do to my friends

2) all of her mom/wife characters: Vanessa has a real knack for playing white suburban moms/wives/women in all of their stereotypical glory. My absolute favorite one that she plays is Gene’s Wife (from the Gemma dinner date sketches with Kenan and Cecily and guests The Rock and Benedict Cumberbatch) because she is the epitome of white wives on TV sitcoms. Like have you ever seen a Disney Channel show? All of the mom characters are these cheesy women with weird inflections that make jokes and little jabs at their husbands, but are completely over their husbands’ flaws as soon as the husbands point out why their flaws are a good thing (does that make sense? it’s like the wives are endlessly forgiving and the jabs are just there for comic relief, or possibly to provide some “tension” within the couple). And I just think Vanessa really nails it. I love making fun of the stereotypical white woman because I am, in some ways, a stereotypical white woman and I agree that I do some dumb fake shit now and then and it’s super obvious to everyone around me

3) when she talks about her cancer: this may seem like a weird thing to include  but this is kind of a personal connection so I’m going to talk about it anyway. Vanessa has said in interviews that she got into comedy because she and her friends would make jokes about her cancer when she was a teenager and it helped her get through it. I don’t have cancer but I DO have anxiety and, while I realize these aren’t the same things at all, part of the reason I got into comedy and performing in general is because it has helped with my anxiety, especially when I get validation from people in the form of applause or laughter or even a smile. And even more so, joking about my anxiety with my friends has helped me a lot in that it kind of normalizes it and makes it less weird to talk about panic attacks and therapy and whatever else I’m dealing with. I realized when I was pretty young that my love for performing is related to my anxiety and I think for a long time I believed it was weird for publicizing and joking about my issues to be helpful, hearing vanessa talk about how cancer boosted her love of comedy made me feel better about having this dark part of me connect to one of my brightest parts

4) Office Christmas Party: I saw this with some friends from high school (including the aforementioned Riley) over winter break and I thought it was pretty good, like obviously it wasn’t a cinematic masterpiece because most party movies aren’t (unless we’re talking about Sisters bc that movie is my shit) but I thought it was good overall and funny and had some good subplots. I know a lot of the SNL fandom was really focused on how ridiculous and goofy Kate’s character was and my friends kept pointing at the screen and saying “leah that’s so you” whenever Mary, Head of HR made an appearance, but I was personally more interested in Vanessa’s character and storyline. This is jprobably because every time I go to a party (which is rare and really only in the summer) I always think to myself “tonight could be the night I fall in love!!!!” and I end up flirting hardcore with someone and then it never goes anywhere so I just felt very connected to Allison bc she is me in all large social settings

5) Vanessa’s parts in SNL music videos: to be fair, I love all parts of all snl music videos because I think they are just packed with so much genius, but I really really love Vanessa’s part in Back Home Ballers when she raps: “Once everyone’s in bed I go insane/heroine, marijuana crack cocaine/are not what I want, I want cheese on chips/and to put on some very old crest white strips” because again I just hear it and I’m like ME like I could go out with my friends and party or whatever because my parents would never expect me to do anything like that but of course I just stay home and watch netflix and see what kind of meal I can make myself with whatever is left in the house. Also in Crucible Cast Party and Do It on my Twin Bed when Vanessa tries to be sexy it just cracks me up because you can tell she is seriously trying but I’m just so used to seeing her be a goof or like super virginal that the sexiness doesn’t come through for me

6) her Rachel Green impression: this is probably most people’s favorite Vanessa thing and honestly I can see why. I’ve been watching Friends on and off for years since it’s usually on Nickelodeon from 11 pm to 1 am, so I would just watch it when I could and like a lot of people I was a huge fan of rachel (that has changed in some ways since I watched it more regularly but that’s not the point). Until I saw Vanessa do weekend update, it didn’t even occur to me that Rachel is freaking annoying. Like there are still a lot of things I love about her but her speech pattern is just phrases!!! Lots and lots of brief phrases that rarely form a whole sentence unless she is a doing a dramatic monologue!!!!!! And that is just annoying to listen to!!! However watching Vanessa do that impression along with her other impressions of Friends characters has helped me to pay more attention to speech patterns of characters and real people so that I can improve my own impressions so thank you Vanessa more making that so clear for me

7) the fact that she writes sketches where she can make out with the host: so I don’t actually know how much of this is Vanessa’s idea this is, but Aidy said in an interview that Vanessa would get a mock election award for writing sketches where she gets to kiss a hot host so I’d assume Vanessa does in fact write these. For those of you who don’t know, Vanessa has made out with Ryan Gosling, Chris Pratt, and Kristen Stewart in sketches (Santa Baby, Kissing Video Game Characters, and Totinos, respectively) and it’s always HILARIOUS. All of these sketches bring sexuality to an otherwise non-sexual situation, and it’s so awkward and uncomfortable but at the same time we’re all jealous of her getting to kiss such hot people. The kissing shtick, especially sloppy kissing, always gets me on snl as it’s usually weird and unexpected and as a performer I assume it’s super fun/terrifying for the cast members

I’m going to end this here because it ended up being super long but thank you for the message! I love talking about people I adore and everything that makes them so great :)

If you want me to do this for another SNL cast member, send me an ask here!!
