the James Somerton thing really shows how hard people are willing to go to bat for a white cis guy who seems to say all the right things and makes content they like no matter how much everyone else has proof of them being a bad person. That is, until a more popular white cis guy who says all the right things calls them out.
This isn't a criticism of Hbomberguy at all, but of everyone else for refusing to listen to the voices of the people James hurt until Hbomb made it cool. This happens all the time and is still happening and it drives me insane. Y'all need to do better.

So, it's been a million years since I've done any real writing, but I was toying around with potential descriptions for one of my dnd campaigns, and I'm really proud of how it turned out:
tw for graphic description of an injury
Every inch of [Rook's] back and shoulders is raw, covered in dozens, maybe hundreds, of small cuts. They overlap and merge so that his entire back is one giant wound. But you can't even get a good look at the cuts, because they are covered by a thick layer of dried blood, almost black in some places.
This will be part of the description the party gets upon seeing Rook for the first time after he was kidnapped by Captain Wolf, and dear god I can't wait to see their reactions both in and out of character. :)))

it hit me some of my newer followers probably dont know about the petscop "logbook!" (i dont remember why i called it that)
since august of 2023, ive been taking detailed notes on petscop. not continuously since sometimes ill take a couple weeks off while i soak things in, but ive so far taken notes up to like 2/3 of the way thru petscop 11. its been quite the undertaking. every single time i rewatch it, i find more i didnt notice the last time, or stuff that didnt make sense without some context in another video later on down the line.
ive had to add addendums over pages and the whole thing is full of sticky notes. my friend called it my mad scientist notebook bc it rly does just look crazy lol. i started it mostly for another friend since we were originally analyzing it together, so theres a lot of spelling errors.
the sticky notes are usually from where i thought of smth when i didnt have the notebook on me, i actually have a shit ton of stuff i wrote on receipt paper bc id still be thinking abt it at work. some stuff here isnt too accurate anymore, but going back to correct things why this has been taking me so long. 🥲
im in so deep that ive had to get another notebook, ive read scientific papers for this and everything. from psychology to the spatial uncanny valley paper to PHYSICS. ROTATIONAL PHYSICS. i am physically incapable of being normal about petscop

I think any time anybody calls Doc Emmett—you know, his name—over the formal Doctor or Doctor Brown, it throws him for a loop.
And not always in a bad way; it's just surprising. Like oh, people remember I have a name and they use it. Wow. Doc's not so deeply attached to his title where he'll get fussy if someone calls him Mister Brown, for example, but save for Clara in canon and maybe Lorraine and George in the LP timeline later on, given that I personally think they have a closer relationship with Doc compared to the one they (didn't) have in TP, nobody particularly calls him by his name, Emmett.
If Doc makes the effort to correct one of his peers in a way that doesn't have an underlying reason behind it, emphasising that it's Doctor Brown, then that's absolutely a sign that his opinion of you is startlingly low and he won't tolerate kindly being called anything else. It's a distant, strictly formal relationship.
He does still appreciate the nickname Doc, though, and always will. And it's always amusing if/when someone else chooses to call him Doc (he allows this if he likes the person, why not?) because he'll always be reminded of Marty suddenly calling him that for the first time.
