2024 smosh predictions

no one asked + i’m late but i love to yap ! disclosure - some of these things i want to happen, some of them i don’t want to happen, but this is mainly for fun:

chanse hard launches a relationship. originally i had this as soft launches but i’m pretty sure he did so yesterday /lh

spencer soft launches a relationship 💔😔

eioyi ends

overcooked on smosh games pls i’m begging + decided to look it up and they acc did one with the old cast 7 yrs ago ! court - who technically was just pit/main then - made an appearance and all the comments were talking about how they should appear in more games vids 🥺

funerals for angela, arasha, chanse, and now mayhaps trevor??

one of olivia / keith / n*ah leaves

damien no longer a full time employee and is now just a cast member / producer for sword af but there’s no official announcement he just mentions it like (1) time on a stream lmao

SUMMER GAMES !!! obvi smosh is having a lil bit of a renaissance and fans keep asking for it but also the actual Olympics™️ is this year and they could def use it as a theme

as a consolation to the above, return of SMOSH FAMILY FEUD

angela gay

again, i cannot stress enough that most of these aren't based on any actual facts and are just my vibe-based opinions ✌️

a bit self-indulgent edward nashton headcanons bc im going insane and i have to share my though with the world

- he guessed the joker’s riddle wrong. joker didn’t mean to call himself his „friend”, he literally introduced himself as „ the joker” - the card. the less you have the more one is worth (jokers in a deck of cards) (but maybe im overthinking this lol)

- his teeth are not taken care of. the orphanage did not provide proper dental care for the children, so his teeth are crooked and he has a few cavities. he would like to get braces but still can’t afford it

tw: self harm mention in the next one

- he self harms (honestly thats canon, in the year one comic we see him as a child and his hands with very prominent bite marks). he also punches walls (implied in the batman movie when he slaps a wall in his cell in the asylum)

- he stims (in the year one comic he thinks to himself „stop chewing on your glasses, edward”) and is autistic (literally gets called „rain man” in the year one comic) but undiagnosed due to his financial situation and fear of any doctors (my personal headcanon, but also implied considering how the medical staff at the orphanage treated kids)

- cannot cook to save his life. he buys pre-made food or makes really bad watery soups so he can put them in cups and drink them while working

- usually keeps his nails a little longer. he picks at his skin a lot so it annoys him when his nails are very short

- has ocd (implied in the year one comic (intrusive thoughts) and in the movie (compulsive writing))

- has anxiety (pretty much canon)

- doesn’t really listen to music, he prefers podcasts (canonically listens to a motivational podcast in year one) and audiobooks

- usually wears a few layers of clothing. he’s usually cold and also insecure about his body. (i love his year one cardigan)

- really likes animals, especially dogs. he likes how they don’t leave their owners and are always on their side. would like to have a dog but can’t (obvious reasons)

- has very big trouble managing his emotions (canon) and gets incredibly upset when something doesn’t go his way, even the small things

tw: animal abuse mentioned in the next one

- has a fear of water and drowning (might be from that one time when the guy at the orphanage forced him to drown a rat)

- doesn’t really know how to take care of himself due to childhood neglect

- has nightmares every night. after seeing the batman in real life they stopped for a while (he’d just have no dreams at all and occasionally a very distorted fever dream, but still not a nightmare), but he still kept repeatedly waking up in the middle of the night

alright thats it for now, i might edit the post and add more later or idk😭

I took your horror quiz and really enjoyed it! I think it's the most interesting one I've ever taken before. I loved it. I was wondering where the "heaven as oblivion" trope came from? I tried searching for it and only came across a song with a similar name so I thought it might be better to just ask you what media features it as a theme? Thanks!

omggg thank you :D i rlly appreciate the compliments omg 😵💕💕‼️ tbh that one is mostly in there bc its been one of my biggest fears since i was a kid LOL☠️ i was raised reeeeeally roman catholic so at some point ig i hit a point of bein like damn what if theyre wrong abt this but like . not 'theyre wrong and theres a different afterlife' but like . 'theyre wrong and theres Not one' and thats so scary 2 me.... and sad ! i cant think abt it too much bc i dont think its true but like . damn theres no way 2 confirm it eitha way 😐 it just feels like wasteful 2 me the possibility that people could just hit a wall and go nowhere 4eva idk!

im sorry i dont have specific media examples for u😭😭 if anybody reading this does pls feel free 2 contribute :0

moon moon moon hello i am opening ao3 for the first time in WEEKS and its because ive come to know you have written an anderperry fic. jaw dropped when i found out because WHAT!!!!!!!! one of my favorite writers n one of my favorite pairings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! dps was literally my entire personality at one point and im STILL insane about this film

anyways im here to give u my thoughts as i read because i will be insane about this for the rest of my life. moon anderperry fic moon anderperry fic moon anderperry fic i will never be okay ever again

WYM TODD CAN JUST /FEEL/ SOMETHING IS WRONG. FUCK THIS FUCK FUCK FUCK THE FEAR THE AGONY THE FEELINGS I AM FEELING RIGHT NOW

Neil shakes his head. “Don’t you get it, Todd?” He sounds too calm, too resigned, and Todd hates it, he decides, he never wants to see Neil so complicit with something so terrible ever again. “There’s no fighting it. There’s no good way out of this.” He shrugs again. “I’m trapped.” 

fuckkk its like his dad killed his spirit sucked the life out of him broke him or something i cannot fucking do this anymore. AND TODD IS PROTESTING!!!!!!!!!!!! BECAUSE WHAT HAPPENED TO NEIL WHAT HAPPENED TO SEIZE THE DAY AND ITS SO HARD TO SEE NEIL MAKE PEACE WITH HIS PASSION TAKEN AWAY FROM HIM. im :( might just pull a neil perry at the end of dead poets society (1989) if u get what im saying

He takes a leap of bravery. He reaches out and rests a hand on Neil’s elbow. He takes a step forward, brings up another hand, and Neil collapses into him, all six feet of him falling onto Todd, who doesn’t stumble when he holds him up. Sorry, he wants to say, even if it’s not his fault, even if he had tried to warn Neil, so many weeks ago, sorry, sorry, sorry. He presses a hand a little more firmly into Neil’s back when his shoulders shake, and his body is cold, and some reckless part of Todd wants to strip off his jacket and throw it over Neil, usher him inside and make him tea like Todd’s mother would do, when he was still a child and not quite Todd. 

HOW DO YOU WRITE THE WAY YOU WRITE IM GOING FUCKING INSANE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! watch me sob over when he was still a child and not quite todd what the fuckkkk

AND FOR A SECOND IT FEELS LIKE IT COULD BE. im never recovering im never ever getting over this fic ever this was so :( sorry for the long ask i lost my mind the second i found out u wrote an anderperry fic (and perhaps inspired me to get back to writing dps again)

[tarkenee]

let me explain actually. like

i just saw someone complain abt how they always look up references on pinterest but can't anymore bc it's full of ai pics now and it's like. okay so the ai technology is bad bc it's stealing artwork from ppl but also let's log onto pinterest.com for art ref when every other pic is a screenshot of a screenshot from someone's blog that has uploaded the pic that they downloaded from someone else w/o the artist's/photographer's/editor's permission. and another one was like a tweet that was upset abt those "famous painting and ai has expanded the background" and they were like umm van gogh painted starry night at an institution and the background is probably what he was seeing from his windows using ai to expand it is so disrespectful and i just don't understand that reasoning?? i love van gogh's work i don't want ai replications of them but give me 10 middle schools and i guarantee there's at least one whose art class had an assignment to pick a famous painting and extend it w whatever u can come up with and yes that's going to include a mona lisa sitting on a motorcycle or smth. ofc the act of that is much more meaningful bc it's real humans using their creativeness and craft instead of a bunch of wires and electricity doing whatever n we can discuss THAT but "this is wrong bc the only person allowed to extend this painting and use their imagination for it would be van gogh himself and it would definitely be him painting just the surroundings of his current residence this is the correct way to respect art" what are u talking about 😭

also like chatgpt is LYING to you it gives u WRONG answers!! it's not a search engine it's a chat bot. it's not even trying to be correct it's been trained to try to mimic an answer of an intellectual being, hence AI, whether that answer is factual or not is not relevant. the problem is that u don't have critical thinking or research skills and u're taking the first "answer" u get. this is a problem that has existed for decades from click bait headlines to tumblr posts that start w listen up tumblypoos let me educate u *blatant lies that everyone takes at face value*

"ai is the mortal enemy and downfall of artists and creatives!!!" right bc artists and writers and such are famously treated so fairly and compensated well for their work prior to ai. "this ai created a convincing photo of a celeb doing smth they haven't! technology has progressed too far!!" ppl have been falling for botched photoshop for years and years? "blatant copaganda was made by this ai! this is why ai is bad!" blatant copaganda was made by your local news paper cartoonist or by a popular tv network w film cameras and paid actors how is this unique to ai when it can and is created w all traditional real human mediums.

and also just the weird worshipping of copyright idk. i do believe ppl should have they're rights to their creative works respected u made that it might be personal to u and u put in the work for it no one should be profitting off of it for sure but it's not like copyright laws are the trusted best friend of small independent creators. disney and shein and other corporation are stealing from creators daily and u are not winning that lawsuit i fear. meanwhile someone's creative 30 minute short film project posted on youtube will be taken down in minutes bc in the background u could hear 5 seconds of a copyrighted song whose creator is a millionaire. i just can't see how stricter copyright laws based on this ai scare will help any of u or would in anyway be progressive

the most recent controversy was smth abt ppl taking others' unfinished fanfics and asking ai to finish them and it's like. yah that's so dumb and disrespectful to the writer's craft. either just use ur imagination or understand and respect that art is a creative process and artists don't owe u anything n shouldn't rush bc u want to consume their art quicker. but instead of talking abt that it's like ai is of the devil!! ai is making a thing based on smth *i* wrote!! BRO it's fanfic. YOU made a thing based on smth someone else wrote!!! trust me u of all ppl don't wanna rally behind stricter copyright laws.

like i reiterate that i'm not like cheering and clapping for all these ai apps etc that are popping up and I don't think that the stuff ai creates should be valued in the same way real ppl's hard work and art should be but. it just feels like so many ppl who r panicking abt ai are actually worried abt smth else that already exists bc of like capitalism and real living breathing humans exploiting others but ai is just this new scapegoat to easily point at bc technology scary

there's smth weird and uncomfortable abt the current ai panic that i can't rly put my finger on?? like i don't know anything abt technology and find ai freaky i don't particularly enjoy the boom it's having so i'm not saying ppl shouldn't dislike it or that ai art should be celebrated as is or anything ppl just have such weird reactions n reasoning to it sometimes idk

[swampy-427]

anyone have like good resources to research autism? i think i might be autistic but idk which resources are reliable,, ive taken the raads-r test and my score was 136 ik people have said that the raads test is like a good tool but i can’t just like self diagnose from a test and i don’t want to be wrong ab this bc that’s low key kinda embarrassing if i’m wrong,,, i want to get tested but ik it’s hard to get a diagnosis for afab people and the waiting list for getting tests is normally super long according to a lot of people,, but tbh i don’t think i’d be able to get tested for it until i’m at least 18 bc of my parents my dad is like not cool rlly with like anything and my mom kinda just infantalizes autistic people like the way she talks ab my cousin is literally disgusting she acts like he can’t do anything himself which isn’t true at all idk but like there’s also the fear that i’m wrong and that i’m just like accidentally faking it??? or just making a big deal out of nothing like maybe i’m just a weird person who’s bad at interacting with others idk i just need some resources to research this more 😭😭

[batwngs]

THIS omfg holly this is literally a masterpiece theres just so much to unpack yet this is ONLY the first part 😭 u take care of us so well omg <3

like genuinely ur writing is so eloquent, beautiful, detailed, hypnotic, etc etc its amazing and i easily found myself taken away with each string of words, it was like your sentences combined gently tugged me towards the story and before i realized it, I was in that hotel room too!! i really think this is like ur best work at the moment its just!!! ur style of writing fits this green-hazy horror romance vibe so well omg

there really is like so much to unpack within this first part like AHH i really was so in love with your prose tho especially with how you painted everything with so much detail like it wasn't a lot to overwhelm the narrative, but just enough to have us watch it unfold and thats always hard to do!! it was immersive and so amazing omg like when the reader first enters arkham and ascends the stairs:

You take the stairs rather than the gravel lane out of concern for how your heels will fare walking through it but you find that the concrete stairs aren’t that different from the winding road. Pieces of rebar stick out from the steps and chunks of concrete have crumbled from most steps and leave a dangerous game for you to play — one wrong step and you’ll roll your ankle. The only thing to steady yourself is the grip you have on the flimsy guardrail. It moves when you do, swaying back and forth in the concrete with each shudder, each shift of weight, and the rusted metal flakes onto your palm when you drag your hand over it. 

and then again with the facility itself:

There’s something wrong with the building, something innate like it’s been built into the walls. True, on the surface it is a regular psychiatric facility, perhaps a tad underfunded like most others, but the way the light casts shadows against the walls, elongated and narrow even for something as bulky as the columns that line the entrance, throws you off. The wallpaper, a soothing green with vines of yellow flowers circling, peels in some places to reveal a horrible mahogany wood stained a deep, rich red and looks almost like it was burned into existence. It’s no wonder the wallpaper was put up. The wood planks irritate, make your eyes burn and force you to avoid looking at them at all cost.

you show all this with SUCH detail its so easy to picture the setting but also the reader's feelings and emotions!! its so overwhelmingly green to me too which makes me feel like the way you wrote these descriptions emphasize and add to the fear associated with life (mostly because you write arkham as its own living, breathing character that mirrors--the reader? the scarecrow? crane? maybe everyone) its just such a brilliant way to also kind of add to the uneasiness of the reader having to interview for an internship bc that in itself is a terrifying, agonizing act lmaoo

also omg "She likes to find patterns and meaning where there simply was none" if i could eat words i would devour this.. i want to tattoo this on me ahhhhh!!!!!

im just SO in love with everything here like i could genuinely sit down and pick apart every sentence and i might when the series is done afhk but i really love the character building you're doing here too, you're establishing so much at such a perfect pace too like it doesn't even feel about 5k words UGH UR TALENT HOLLY!!!!!!!

and like i think what my favorite part about this (besides the very beauty and intricacies of your writing) is that there is something that lingers in this story, not only literally but figuratively, metaphorically, emotionally. maybe its the idea of the spectator (us as readers) watching this descent into chaos and danger, we know nothing sane or good came come from this, but all we can do is watch!! you literally point all the arrows to that hotel room where we linger and watch and wait and hope not to be caught!!! but even with us being the lingering entity of this story, there is another ghost that haunts the narrative and god its just so intricate and thought out and UGH ITS GENIUS!! we hauntingly and horrifically watch as the reader haunts their own life and story as the ghost!!! like i have a feeling thats where the story is going at least simply bc the reader didn't react with fear the way crane expected in the end, the horror of intrigue and blooming obsession (for scarecrow, for the metaphor of what he is) haunts!!!!

anyway im gonna stop bc this literally has me losing my mind i really cant wait for where it goes next im so excited omg ajsfja

i’m transformed! - pt 1

finally after months and months of talking about it the first part is finished!! reader has a last name but there is a reason for it in the story that will be revealed i promise! this should be about 10 parts in whole and i hope you enjoy it!

summary: You’ve moved across the country for the residency program at Arkham Psychiatric Hospital and it’s a dream at first, until strange things begin happening since you moved to Gotham. Blackouts, loss of memory, an ever foreboding feeling that someone is just right there behind you, waiting to snatch you up in the dark. It doesn’t help that your supervisor, Doctor Crane, has taken a very personal interest in you.

sfw | word count 4.7k | jonathan crane x reader | read on ao3

warnings: none (yet)

On the surface, there is not much about Gotham that sets itself apart from the rest of the world. That is the trick, you think, a disappearing act. It wears a cloth of normal to hide the underbelly of cruelty, despair and violence that the rest of the world knows exists. Gotham likes to make itself look pretty in the sun’s hours. 

You’ve noticed though, the lack of tourists riddling the streets like in every big city. There aren’t groups and large families taking photos and standing in the middle of the road to clog traffic while they gather their bearings. There’s no obnoxiously touristy shops filled to the brim with tacky shirts and magnets and overpriced beer bottle openers. No tours and no pamphlets. 

You’re on your way back to the hotel with your dinner in hand. It’s starting to get dark much earlier than you are used to after such a long summer and it had sent a shock through you when you realized it would only start to get darker earlier and earlier in the day. More accurately, it’s not the shock of sunset, but that means the darkness that engulfs the city will last longer. You know perfectly well why there are no tourists here. 

This city devours its inhabitants.
