The nosebleed comic is so specifically funny to me because like. When I finally got to sleep with my long distance partner, i woke them up after I had a nightmare, and as they groggily rolled over to hug me they accidentally elbowed me. Hard. In the nose. Now I am hugging them and crying and bleeding on the shirt I just gave them don't worry about it

One thing about Mello is that he'll go "ha ha!"

since david has confirmed he recognized xander from the start and if we assume the same for xander does that mean they were just acting out their fan meets hero fantasy this whole time

I really wish more people were onboard with the particular "so tragic it becomes comedic" vibe that miquella has. like this guy is literally our first volunteer child of omelas

Kia ora koutou,

After 4 years of being on hiatus we wanted to officially acknowledge that our filmmaking collective has disbanded.

We are so proud of all the work we made, and we loved sharing it with you all. Your gifs, analysis, letters, writing, art, and comments made us feel so lucky. Creating these stories was such a special time in our lives and we can’t thank you enough for being a part of it. We could not have made our 5 webseries in 5 years without your awhi, love, and support. We will be forever grateful for the support of our Kickstarters which allowed us to continue making series, and never forget our fandles or flamangoes.

While as a collective we have gone our separate ways, we are all continuing to be creative folks and if you follow our various social media you will see what we get up to next.

Claris - @/clariskate on instagram Elsie - @/littlebollinger on instagram Minnie - @minniegraced most places Robbie - @robbienicol on instagram Sally - @/salazar.bollinger on instagram

We will continue to post as The Candle Wasters from time to time — NMTD turns 10 next year and we’ll be sure to acknowledge that!

Finally, we are releasing several videos from our YouTube Drafts as part of the final updates to the Kickstarters for Lovely Little Losers and Bright Summer Night. You will see these on your feed. After that, we will not be releasing any further original content on YouTube as The Candle Wasters, though there will be other updates from us as individuals from time to time. For more details on the Kickstarter, please see the Final Updates on each Kickstarter.

Thank you all for joining us on this journey! 

Lots of love, ngā mihi, Claris, Elsie, Minnie, Robbie, and Sally EDIT: What's NMTDaily? CLICK HERE FOR INFO

horrible thought: luz and hunter are cuddling and she accidentally taps her arm glyph while its facing hunter and he gets knocked out. and hes Literally Fine, its just One Sleep Blast, arguably Good For Him. but luz immediately Shatters at the Fucking Seams.

because shes an irredeemable murderer and she will hurt literally everyone in her life and she committed one murder cause shes VIOLENT and BLOODTHIRSTY and she LOVES MURDER and now she will commit SO MANY MURDERS. and what if hunter NEVER WAKES UP

now darius raine and eberwolf are crowded in luz's room while she tries to explain how shes UNCONTROLLABLE and EVIL and she just ATTACKED HUNTER UNPROVOKED (hunter is taking a very comfy looking nap) and they NEED TO KILL HER RIGHT NOW. AND/OR CUT HER ARM OFF.

GOD THIS IS VERY FUNNY AND SAD. MY POOR BABY.

love the concept that either luz Immediately calls raine when she's out of her depth the same way she calls eda in canon, OR that fiddlesticks was spying on her & runs to get raine. who conveniently happens to be doing anarchist shenanigans with the squad.

eber sitting on luz's shoulder to ground her. darius examining hunter and checking his pulse and his breathing like "he's Literally Fine." raine kneeling in front of luz looking at her arm and pretending they've never seen the glyphs before all like, what are these? what happened??

luz is like i didn't MEAN to put hunter to sleep & raine, who doesn't know a TON about the glyphs, is like "....is it dangerous?? we'll find a way to wake him up, luz, it'll be okay"

and luz is like no he'll wake up by himself it's just sleep. but i COULD kill him. i'm GONNA kill him. just like i killed-

raine: okay! let's not finish that sentence.

luz: you care about the kingdom, don't you?? if you care about everyone here then you KNOW you should kill me, i'm a Monster D:

raine: how about this, though. how about Nobody dies. and nobody gets killed. and you let me take care of all this. and you go visit the human world for a little while.

Had to break it to my sister (twelve years older than me) that she herself is an early millennial/late Gen X, that our brother is a Millennial as well, and that those "twenty-something interns" she sees at work are not Millennials (derogatory).

I can't help but think the ghosts all have an elaborate morning routine now 😂 Happy fixes up his stitches like piercings. Changing and Tragicomic Ghost have makeup routines. Honestly I love this for them.

Awww, I love this! 😸 The ghosts all have such fun designs, and makeup is such an important aspect of so many of them. There’s so many subtle details, and it’s interesting noticing them and how they progress. Perhaps the most noteworthy appearance change—other than Tragicomic’s after remembering Zhao Jing, and Beauty Ghost’s transformations in general—is the way Lovelace loses aspects of his design as the story progresses. First the hat, then the eyebrow makeup. Considering that the eyebrow makeup makes a shape reminiscent of Happy Ghost’s in how his brows curl upwards, it can make one wonder if losing the hat and the brow makeup is symbolic of Lovelace gradually becoming less connected with Wuchang Gui and Happy Ghost respectively. Perhaps even foreshadowing how he won’t have either of them present to help keep him out of trouble when he dies.

Anyways, I love Wuchang Gui’s makeup (the green lipstick is so iconic, while the matching eyeshadow under his brows and his eyeliner is subtle but nice). Fun fact that the makeup and mannerisms were his actor’s idea. Which reminds me that I found this video on weibo with a picture of Xue Fei with purple lipstick:

Green is the perfect color for Wuchang Gui, but now I’m kinda wishing that Jin Yan had purple lipstick—but maybe that would make it harder for him to lick his lips 😹

Deserved Better Round 1: Xiang Haoting (HIStory 3: Make Our Days Count) vs Luo Fumeng (Word of Honor)

[Submitted Reasons Under Cut]

Xiang Haoting: "Xiang Hao Ting is a himbo with a heart of gold, started off on the wrong foot with Yu Xi Gu but fought to earn his trust and love, fought to be together with him and stay with him, earned his way into a top university (from being one of the worst students) just because that's the only way his parents would approve of his relationship, went from being completely wild to being in domestic bliss with Yu Xi Gu just for Yu Xi Gu to die and in a random accident just as their lives together started, right after they overcame all obstacles. Xiang Hao Ting did all the right things, grew to be someone deserving of Yu Xi Gu's love, was unwavering in the face of wave after wave of the world against their relationship, just for his love and happiness to be ripped away from him. All because of a bag of sugar and a forgotten wallet. He definitely deserved better than that."

"They deserved happiness, damnit"

Luo Fumeng: "betrayed by her lover and then framed for the murder of her whole family, her hair literally went all white from grief. and then she goes to the Ghost Valley and manages to make a name for herself as the Tragicomic Ghost, head of the Department of the Unfaithful, whose whole shtick is protecting women who are fleeing from abuse and then killing shitty men. anyways she has to go through the pain of being forced to remember all of the horrible things that had happened to her. and when she's made peace with it and is planning on settling in the Ghost Valley once the doors will be shut forever, an attack happens and she watches her most rusted servant and friend get killed and then she gets killed. for what? teaching shitty men to not attack women? she never gets a happy ending or a break. she spends like a third of the show in extremely poor health on account of the trauma and being close to a qi deviation. also had to watch a lot of her women in the department get killed."

I'm curious 👀

Hottest take is that Matt has a cig addiction and Al is constantly doing PSAs against smoking and sends every vid to his bro who responds with pic of himself with a cigarette in his mouth with the caption "same"

Another one you didnt ask for is that Arthur had a full clinical mental breakdown in the 1600s when Al was born bc the boy had shit lungs (tuberculosis) and died aprox. 6 times in the span of 5 years while still an infant. I WILL elabore if asked.
