Spin That Record, Babe

Even during breaks, Donatello wouldn’t stop working, and it was starting to get on April’s nerves.

He had always been kinda over-the-top with his tech, but the Shredder episode had taken his obsession to a whole another level. Admittedly, they had all been a little more on edge, training harder, patrolling more often - but Donnie? Damn restless. Yes, the new lair needed a security system, and their last defenses hadn’t been enough to stop their enemy, and all that drill; April knew his excuses by heart. While she was the first to admit he wasn’t wrong, it didn’t change the cold, hard facts: Donnie wasn’t a machine. He needed to relax as much as the next turtle.

His tendency to overwork hadn’t gone unnoticed, of course. At his brothers’ insistence, he had agreed to let them drag him out of his lab once in a while, but not even Splinter had managed to separate him from his gauntlet for long, and he was never really offline.

Case in point: the whole family was chilling in the atrium, allowing themselves to take a breather after a rough couple of days, all content to lie there and do nothing, for once. All, except for a certain stubborn, workaholic turtle.

The gang was sitting in all kinds of absurd poses, humming to an old pop playlist and indulging in small talk, but Donatello was typing away on his tech wrist, not-so-casually leaning against the arm of the couch. April was under the impression he wouldn’t even notice if they all left the room without telling him.

She wouldn’t voice it like that, but she was getting worried.

“Ooh, haven’t heard this one in ages,” Mikey piped as a new song started playing.

“Ah, Just Dance! A classic,” Leo cheered, turning the volume up a few decibels, vibing in his beanbag.

April smiled. “If I weren’t so worn up, I’d probably lift my lazy ass up and wiggle a little,” she said, not moving a toe.

“Yeah, that last session was a bit much,” Raph agreed. “Totally worth it, though! I never saw Mikey do that spinning move before.”

Mikey answered excitedly, but April wasn’t really listening anymore. Her gaze had instinctively flown to where Donnie stood, and she couldn’t help the pang of disappointment at the absence of emotion on his face.

She was about to turn back to the conversation when she heard a faint tap, tap coming from his direction.

Donnie was every bit his distant, focused self, and his body language would give nothing away if it weren’t for his right foot, distractedly tapping along with the song.

A predatory smirk spread on April’s lips and she found herself getting up from her seat without too much effort, soreness suddenly gone.

“Watcha doing there, Dee?” she asked innocently as she approached him.

“Nothing fancy,” he started, and that was all April needed to know. “Running a beta version of this program I’ve been meaning to-”

“So what I’m hearing is, it can wait, right?”

Not waiting for an answer, she grabbed his left arm, effectively interrupting his work. He gave her a suspicious look. “Depends. If this is an impromptu mission -”

“Oh, it’s a mission alright,” April chuckled with just a hint of mischief, dragging him to a less cluttered corner of the room under the intrigued gazes of the brothers.

“Well, what is it?”

“I haven’t bootyshaked in at least 9000 years!” she winked.

“Hell yeah!” Leo laughed, hauling himself out of his beanbag, playing the music even louder.

- Just dance! Gonna be okay, da da doo-doo -

“Pfft, Lady Gaga?” Donnie snorts good-naturedly. “This is so 2008.”

“Your jammy-jamming is so 2008.”

That seemed to do the trick: Donnie’s expression shifted to something definitely amused. “Oh, yeah? You’re on, O’Neil!”

It couldn’t be that long since the family had last danced like this, April thought. They all comfortably slipped into familiar steps, Mikey looking impeccably in control of his movements, Leo copying (read: butchering) Michael Jackson’s style, Raph putting everything on his shoulders’ game. The real pros, though, that was all Donnie and her: they were swinging around in improvised moves, switching back and forth between proper rock-and-roll and graceless nonsense, spinning in open circles one moment and awkwardly bumping their hips the next - tearing the dancefloor like they owned it.

No, it couldn’t be that long since they’d danced like this, but damn if it didn’t feel like it. She had missed having simple, silly fun like this with the boys. There had been a lot going on recently, and she hadn’t realized just how sober they had all gotten. Right now, though, all seriousness had left the lair; all that remained was the resounding sounds of laughter, the unadulterated pleasure of enjoying a perfectly good song, the stinging feeling in her cheeks from smiling too much.

So, yes, she’d almost dropped her glasses at some point, and with how sore her muscles had been before she started dancing, she would probably be feeling this in the morning. But you know what? April only had to throw one look at the boys’ thrilled faces, at Donnie’s unfocused eyes, and she knew she’d do it again no matter how exhausted.

Sometimes, what tired the body could energize the soul.

This is kind of old, but since I posted it to my IG, I figured might as well post it here, too.

Just some fun, dance-y Donnie-and-Aprils. They’re hangin’ out, havin’ a good time, tearin’ up the dance floor together as you do. This doubled as a style study, as it was one of my first attempts to copy the look of the show. I had a much easier time getting the hang of drawing Donnie than I did April, which you can probably tell at some points, lol.

There was originally supposed to be a sequential order to these, buuuuut it pretty much got lost the more I worked on it. So now it’s just a mish-mosh of dance-y doodles, haha. Anyway - enjoy!

#4 am here #it's my own damn fault I know #but I couldn't just go to sleep with all this scene in my head!#anyways this was really fun to think about #really pleasant to write #and YES we need more wholesome donnie & april content in this fandom!#op your art is AMAZING #thanks for indulging me!#writing #rottmnt #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #save rottmnt #unpause rottmnt #reblog

I believe we have a winner for the Wasteland’s Most Useless Settler Award of 2287.

I was playing some Fo4 and one of the Minutemen random quests popped up. Rescue a kidnapped settler - OK, straightforward enough, I thought. I got to the settlement, and something felt a little odd. So I screencapped the quest, and set off.

I got to the spot, and here’s what I found.

This idiot had been assigned guard duty; he had a kitted-out laser rifle and an X-01 suit, and had somehow managed to get kidnapped. “Oh noes Nasty Mr Raider, your pipe pistol is so scary, I’ll do whatever you say!” Then when they were finished leading him by the nose, he’d apparently obligingly hopped out of the suit. For bonus points, he’s managed to dump it in a spot where it’s apparently unrecoverable. (Can’t interact with it at all - I think because it’s partly clipping into the wall behind.)

I’m normally very nice to my settlers, but I think this idiot may have earned himself a stealth kill, on account of being worse than useless...

#LHS plays not-so-new-games #Fallout 4 #oh settlers #your AI is so stupid #I know the game's just picked one at random from the settlement #but the absurdity level here really is over 9000

What the Fandom (actually) thinks about the SPN Finale 15x20!

A short while ago I posted a Quiz [Which Part of Supernatural Season 16 are you?] and the post has 27 notes, so I thought barely anyone would have taken this, but it turns out actually a couple people did. And I´m so glad I did put in one free form question: “Would be please be so kind to sum up the finale in 3 words. (Or 333 if you want to...)” Because the past days I clicked through the notifications on the quiz, which is kind of tedious, but I could not stop cause what people put in there is a mood, a riot, the pure unfiltered truth, eloquent and outrageous in the best way! And so I collected the answers and tried to roughly group them. Which you can find under the cut. (If someone that took the quiz wants to be tagged or have the commentary removed please just message me!) Can you guess what the most common 3 words were?

PLEASE. I DID NOT LIKE THE FINALE. HOW DO I GET A DIFFERENT ANSWER PLEASE

Misha? Was that you? Rancid Nut Work

Particular Stuff Fuck john Winchester // [[“ Mj”; ]]fucking disgusting shitshow [okay so that was 3 words, but MAY I JUST SAY, c*w was incredibly disrespectful to Misha, Cas, Jensen, and Dean. Misha played a Cas for 12 years, and then he's not even in the finale? and Cas gets mentioned a whopping total of 2 times after he confesses his love to Dean?? and then, Jensen. 15 years of his life on Supernatural. Jensen turned down the role to be Captain America, and his best friend is Dean, the character he plays. But then Dean dies on a rusty nail, never getting to actually live his life? Dean died how he always thought he would- and he died as "Daddy's Blunt Instrument", finishing off his dad's unfinished case. J*hn Winch*ster ab*sed him and Sam mentally, emotionally, and possibly physically too, and does NOT deserve to get a Heaven at all, least of all, a Heaven right by Deans. Dean never got to live how he wanted to and was repressed as fuck, and this is all because of his dad, the resident shit head. And don't even get me started on the queer erasure, and racism. Kevin Tran deserved better. He, after through all he suffered on Earth, deserves to go to Heaven, not be tortured in the afterlife forever. I fully believe that it's just because he was Asian. If J*hn got into Heaven, why couldn't Kevin. Also, not to mention, Charlie, Rowena, Claire, Patience, Kaia, Crowley, Donna, and Jodi, and probably countless of other queer characters who were erased. They were silenced and fuck the cw for doing that. I could add so much more, but for now, have an excellent day and a wonderful year :)] // [[“Yellowcollins”:]] hat the fuck was that literally what the fuck. I’m convinced the writers did not watch a single episode they made past season 3. There was literally not a SINGLE character from season 4 onwards in the finale. LITERALLY. NO. ONE. and what about “family don’t end in blood” that they’ve been preaching since LITERALLY season 1??? huh??????? nah fuck 15x20, this will go down and the WORST ending in the history of endings.

[cookie] < for everyone that made it that far ;)

Grimderp Pokefic

I used to read a fair amount of Pokemon fanfic, but eventually I stopped trying. My tastes tend to run toward dark, realistic, and morally ambiguous/complicated stories, and while the Pokemon fandom is rife with stories aiming for that combination -much more so than many 'darker’ fandoms actually!- I’m almost always unimpressed with the actual handling.

Note that when I say “canon” I mean primarily the game canon. Fanfics based on the anime are a whole other beast, and I never was as interested in them anyway.

Specifically, the design process for Dark/Realistic/Morally Ambiguous Pokemon fanfic seems to be a haphazard, inconsistently applied willingness to arbitrarily declare that random components of Pokemon canon are "unrealistic" and gut them in favor of (unrelated) real world models/Grimderp models. To wit: -Breeding is implicitly if not explicitly not cross-species excepting where multiple species are the same species in some sense. (eg Nidos) If a fanfic runs contrariwise, it will usually be to produce some ridiculous scenario in which hideous abominations/broken powerful monstrosities results when breeding different species. There will also be no respect whatsoever for Egg Groups. -All diets that are not carnivore, herbivore, or I'm A Plant are erased except sometimes Ghosts are allowed to consume souls/feelings/whatever if the story intends to milk it for Grimderp purposes. -Curious designs will be reinterpreted in a non-coincidental manner. "Gardevoir isn't dresslike in appearance, it wears human skins as dresses!" Never mind the real world contains 99 billion things that look like other things. Spiders with happy faces or red hourglasses or I AM A TREE KNOT PAY NO MIND TO ME on their abdomen. Eyespots resembling owl eyes on moths. Flies that pretend to be bees. Etc. Why is it so absurd to imagine that there's a Pokémon camouflaged as a piece of technology, or that happens to look like kind of like it’s wearing clothing that isn’t? -If color is addressed explicitly, everything is darkened, green is verboten to non-plants, pink is denied period (Usually the assorted Very Pink Pokemon will simply fail to appear in the story because Reasons), and in general the author quite clearly buys into Shades of Brown and Brown is Realistic. -Any Pokemon overtly mechanical is either carefully not addressed or rendered a Totally Normal Animal Really. Mostly they pretend no such thing exists. -Also, an arbitrarily selected set of abnormal evolutions are denied as working that way. Only Level Up is consistently safe: some authors leave Stone evolutions alone, for instance, but Trade and Trade+Item is almost always killed, Happiness isn't simply virtually invisible but is in fact explicitly eliminated, and Level At Location is usually killed. Also pretty much every case of a unique model of evolution is removed. -Related to diet, Berry Benefits is usually quietly killed off. Sure, make a tasty Poffin with a Chesto Berry! No, Snorlax can't wake itself up with it. Pokemon drugging themselves with natural herbs is insufficiently grimderp/”Realistic” for our fanfics. -All capabilities above a certain level of impressiveness are denied as Poke-possible. Except on Legendaries, who instead are made OVER 9000!!! Sure, Mewtwo can destroy the moon as a casual action to save Goku, but Tyranitar ripping a mountain apart? Pshah! Nonsense! -Type interactions? NAH THAT'S TOO GAMEY THROW IT OUT. That this “flattens” the Pokemon League metagame as a consequence apparently doesn’t bother people, inexplicably. It gets particularly irritating when a fanfic combines this with clearly wanting to give more attention to one of the underdog Pokemon that isn’t particularly competitively viable. -Understanding English from birth/at all? Absurd! (To be fair, there’s plenty of Grimderp Realism Pokefics that leave language alone) -Fainting instead of being maimed? Nah, it's not realistic if it isn't GRIMDERP. Let's ignore how 99% of real animals default to "let's not hurt each other, just establish who would win in a real fight and move on" if it's not predator/prey or competition over extremely limited vitally necessary resources. It's just ludicrous to think wild animals would pull their punches! MERCY AND FRIENDSHIP ARE UNREALISTIC NO ONE DOES THAT EXCEPT MAYBE HUMANS AND PROBABLY NOT THEM HERPAGRIMDERP. Conversely, real science problems that are nearly always kept: -Evolution as an abrupt, unprepared, instantaneous transmutation from one creature to another creature that is usually A: much larger and/or B: an entirely different substance. Where the mass and alchemy comes from is assumed to not matter in these fanfics, sometimes directly alongside complaining that generating water from nothing is ‘unrealistic’. -Pokeballs. Everything about Pokeballs. -Ice anything. Erase temperature as a basic capability? Sure! It's not like Conservation of Everything exists or anything like that! -Understanding Trainer intrinsically? But of course! Don't ask how they can automatically understand commands in English but can't understand English in any other context for any other purpose. There's no contradiction here! (This is my biggest complaint with the cases where they remove the general ability to understand human language innately, as they almost never extend that to effecting commanding battles) -------------------------------------- In short, instead of respecting canon and only addressing tricky problems (how does Hitmonlee feed itself anyway? It doesn’t seem to have a mouth), or even holding themselves consistently to their own standards, they just rip out random things that are not necessarily even crazy while consistently keeping the most problematic things. AND THEN MAKING THEM WORSE BY HAVING RIPPED OUT THE PARTS THAT JUSTIFY THEM.

So yeah. There’s been some Pokemon fanfics I was really glad I read, but I end up wading through so much of this crap I just... gave up.

Bitcoin Pre-Halving Dump?

VIDEO TRANSCRIPT

Despite what everyone is telling you, that the Bitcoin whole thing will go down in approximately eight days. This is based on a 10 minute block time. But since the hash rate is still going up. And on some charts, even shows and new all-time high and the difficulty adjustment only happens every two weeks. Blocks are getting mined faster than in 10 minutes. So the Bitcoin Halfan will go down in approximately one week from now. But nevertheless, the price of Bitcoin already correct back down from its local high of approximately nine thousand five hundred U.S. dollars by 10 percent. Why is that? Why do we see a pre haul thing dump right now? And can we see even a bigger pre hoarding dump? All that and more in this episode. And now let’s jump right into it. And with that said, what is going on? Everyone, Sunny, the here. And welcome back to the episode before we’re going to start. If you guys want to support this channel for free, please make sure to leave alike. And if you’re new to the channel. Also, don’t forget to subscribe. And also hit the post notification bell. All right. Now let’s talk about the bitcoin whole thing. And when exactly it will go down. Well, we can not say it by the minute when it will go down. But what we know right now is that blocks are getting found faster than in ten minutes. Those times that you can see right here, Bitcoin block reward Hofman count on the eight days. That is based on a 10 minute block time. But because the hash rate is still going up right now and the difficulty adjustment only happens every two weeks, well, blocks are getting found faster. As I already said in the intro. So the whole thing is also going to go down faster. And here is something very, very interesting. I’ve not shown you that. But also, CNBC was talking about the Bitcoin, having a potential rally offer to having. But also, Abida. Rumour and sell the news event. This is very interesting. I know this is from the first of May, but I want to play the most important part here. And this will definitely be our topic for today. And we’re going to discuss this. But I think in the medium to long term, you now have an asset that is going to be more scarce than gold based on the stop the flow ratio. In an environment where the entire world is printing money, why isn’t this a sell the news event? It very well maybe. I mean, you look back at the last two, we got quite a run-up. You could look back at the last two. It took about 30 to 60 days for this really to filter through the market. So you could have after this. Remember, this is how the miners make their money by those big corner rewards. So some of the weaker miners might actually have to sell out. But 30 to 60 days now, we could see a nice run. So what Brian Kelly is saying in here is very important and also true. Don’t expect a massive pump on the day of the whole thing. Don’t expect a massive pump in seven days because this can definitely be a buy the rumour and sell the news event. What does that exactly mean? Well, what we can see right here on Google Trends is people are very hyped up for the Bitcoin huffing and maybe that the price was going up is due to exactly debt. But on the day, on the Bitcoin hot thing, maybe some people figure, hey, wait for a second, the price is not moving right now. Okay, I’m gonna sell my Bitcoin again. This could definitely trigger as cascade to the downside. I’m not saying or I’m personally not seeing prices lower than the lows we have already seen. But I would not be all too surprised if the price of Bitcoin would dump massively again and then over the next couple weeks and months, gain momentum again and then slowly grind to new all-time highs by the end of this year. Because remember, the price of Bitcoin never reaches new all-time highs of the previous top before the Bitcoin huffing. So can we see a sell the news event here? Yes, definitely possible. It does not have to happen. But please have that on your radar as a possibility. All right. Now let’s jump into the charts and let’s talk about the most important timeframes. First of all, I want to talk about the Bitcoin weekly chart. Well, you can see right here is a massive trend line. You can see here the twenty thousand dollar top back from 2017. And you can see here to fourteen thousand dollars, top back from June 2019. Here you can see that ten thousand five hundred dollars top here from February 2020. And this is the most recent top at approximately nine thousand five hundred U.S. dollars that we have just seen here a couple of days ago. Well, it goes without saying that Bitcoin first has to break this trend line to go into the direction of twenty thousand U.S. dollars again. But as I’ve already said, me personally, I need to see ten thousand five hundred U.S. dollars to be broken. Before that, I cannot term fully bullish. I’ve already been talking about the ten thousand five hundred dollar mark for quite a while, actually. We’ve retested that level already back in a day. Got rejected. But we’re going to see that on the daily chart right now on the Bitcoin daily chart. What we can see is that if we keep falling right now, the next support level in here or next important support level right here would be the 200 daily moving. Average, that is what we’re seeing right here. And here’s something very interesting about the 200-day moving average, some people are saying, well, the 200 days does not hold all too much significance anymore. But I’m gonna show you something here in the stock market when to come to that later as well. If I plot the 200 daily moving average right here, you can see dead that stocks almost went up to the 200 daily but got rejected pretty much exactly around those levels. I mean, not quite, but almost. And you can see that the 200-day moving average held a lot of significance already here in the past. And on Bitcoin, from time to time, we see exactly the same picture. So the 200 daily moving average definitely very important in here. If we sume out a little bit more. And also check the volume profile. We can see that the volume profile also gives us some support. Slightly below 200 daily moving average. That would be here at approximately, let’s say, seven thousand two hundred U.S. dollars. I personally hope we’re not going to fall to those levels. But once again, if we see a pre thing dump, that could definitely happen. So there are entry levels we could keep an eye on perhaps having, but I would not bet on them. So if you are one of those people not having any Bitcoin at all. Not having any exposure to Bitcoin right now. I would not be sure that the prices of Bitcoin are going to come back down and give you a nice entry point, because you are definitely not the only one out there waiting for a nice entry point. And if the train leaves the station, you don’t want to be the guy chasing the train out of the train station. Right. You don’t want to be the guy buying Bitcoin at fifteen thousand eighteen thousand twenty thousand when everything goes up when all people are informed. Again, that is when you want to be invested already. So later on, when prices are really getting too absurd numbers that you can sell with a nice profit. That is how you want to play this market. That is what I’ve learned over the last years since I am in Bitcoin. And this is my personal strategy in here. OK, so make sure that your dollar-cost averaging. Make sure that you’re accumulating and make sure you’re ready for both directions if prices go lower. You want to buy a little bit more. If prices go up and you already are exposed to Bitcoin, well, nice. You are in profit, right? So that is the strategy. So be ready for both directions. A pre huffing dump is possible but doesn’t have to happen. And just in case that you guys want to trade the Bitcoin volatility around the whole thing, I personally recommend that some X platform where he can leverage trade Bitcoin, a theorem X or P chain-link tells us like a coin and also gold. A video tutorial is popping up on top of the screen right now. And what my sign up the bling. Down below. You’re not just supporting the channel, but also you can get an up to one hundred and twelve dollars bonus. But this is only recommended for experienced traders. And now let’s continue with the episode. All right. Now, let’s go on the Bitcoin one hour chart real quick. As I’ve already said, the price of Bitcoin already rejected from nine thousand five hundred U.S. dollars. We’re currently trading at eight thousand six hundred U.S. dollars. Bitcoin fell 10 percent. And I have some bad news for you guys, but you probably already figured, well, the S&P 500 futures started not all too well today. We have definitely seen a fall in here in the S&P 500 after opening. And Bitcoin once again reacted to that. You can see that right here. That was basically the reaction to the lower opening. Of course, it looks like that the S&P 500 futures are going up again right now. But basically does downfall in here from the 9000 or almost nine thousand dollar mark was due to the fact that the S&P 500 futures once again started lower as yesterday. That is my personal belief. That is what I see. So, yes, the correlation is still going on in here and we’re still waiting for that decoupling, sadly. All right. Now, something we have not been talking about for quite a while is the performance of all Quints. Just a few seconds about that. Well, if we see a mountain here on the Bitcoin dominance chart here on the daily. We can see an increase in here in the Bitcoin dominance once again. And if we have a look at all coins in here, we’ll kick or do all coin performance. Over the last seven days. You can see that all coins are bleeding compared to Bitcoin here on the seven-day chart. On the one month charts, all of them are in the Greens, but most of them are indirect. Still, three months charting here. So, yeah, it looks like that all season is not really starting yet. But let me know, European about all season. And let me know your strategy. Are you loading up on all coins? Are you getting prepared for the next potential all-season or do you think? Well, it is all over with all coins. All coins will never come back as they did in 2017. I’m very interested in that. Let me know. Downbelow, Orion and the last piece of information for today. Very interesting. Is this right here? What’s going on at Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway? And here off go back to the S&P 500 chart. Some of the experts are saying this is a perfect V bottom in here at the economy’s going back to normal and we’re going back up again in stocks. I personally believe that this is a dead cat bounce and it could be that the right in here to temporary, right to the upside. Is already overwrites here and we’re going back down. Not quite sure if this is the pop of the dead cat bounce, but it could be. I’m personally not expecting new all-time highs for the stock market. And if we see new all-time highs in the stock market, I believe that at some point later it will crash. I’m not heavily investing in stocks right now, although I have an eye on the stock market. And if stocks are falling low, I try to allocate a little bit of my portfolio into stocks and a good indication or a good confirmation that this is not that V shape rally right now. The V shape reversal is what’s going on at Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway. Buffett stays on the sidelines with cash rising to one hundred thirty-seven billion U.S. dollars. And here you can see the charred Berkshire Hathaway’s cash and short term investments quarterly. And they are on a cash all-time high. So if they would believe that this is really the V shape recovery, well, there wouldn’t have such a high cash position. So Warren Buffett is kind of betting against the stock market. And it looks like that they don’t believe that this was the V shape recovery and that lower levels are about to come. Of course, Warren Buffett hasn’t always been right, thinking about airlines and so on. But I mean, I’m not the only one seeing this picture, and I’m pretty sure some of you guys see exactly the same. But that does it all ready for today’s episode. If you enjoyed it, please make sure to leave alike. Thank you guys very much for your awesome support. And I hopefully see all of you in the next one by.

The Beauty of “Doin’ Your Mom” by Ray William Johnson

Love him or hate him, Ray William Johnson is a pioneer of new media. He was one of the most famous YouTubers back in the day in what was about the late 2000s and early 2010s, and was really the first dude to make a true, long-term career on the platform, forming a company just to fund his Equals Three show, which, yes, it’s somewhat unwatchable but it’s vintage YouTube so I give most of it an excuse and play it off as dated comedy from someone who was actually old enough to know better, but it was a different time and I’m actually consistently impressed by Ray and how he continues to pop up everywhere as nostalgia for the early days of YouTube starts to seep into this post-ironic era of Internet culture, as people remember the remnants of the more sincere YouTube, with people like Quinton Reviews, TheGamerFromMars and wavywebsurf making informative videos about the classic YouTube and its viral videos that propel someone into stardom for at least about 15 minutes. Now we’re in the age of a company-fuelled platform that treats its community of content creators as the fries on the side of their order of The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. Do I miss the days of “Chocolate Rain” and when any viral hit could make it through the cracks? Of course I do, but it’s not like that can’t happen and memes can’t spread, look at how Lil Nas X has taken advantage of the memes surrounding “Old Town Road” to build his own career – and it was only a matter of time before massive companies learned how to use the Internet. I’d argue Ray is at fault at least in some capacity for making the transition to a talk show highlights website a tad cooler, though, and it’s not like he wasn’t making himself and his show (As well as his animated “Band” which I’m pretty sure is just him) a brand in itself. Ray overall was a fascinating man and still is, and whilst most of his content isn’t looked upon fondly, he does have a few gems in there, like “Orphan Tears” from the Your Favorite Martian days, one I still jam to every now and then, because it’s catchy and whilst incredibly dated now due to the club beat and Bill Cosby references doesn’t feel like it won’t last the test of time like most other YouTube content that has ever been uploaded, especially its music – including the more recent stuff from people like the Paul brothers, but before “It’s Everyday Bro” there was another iconic comedy hip hop track on YouTube that I’d argue is a much more judicious choice for analysis, and it was by Fatty Spins – often stylised as FAttY SPiNS for the sake of confusion – a hip-hop collective fronted by Ray William Johnson and his friends Micfri (The white dude) and Breeze, a singer and according to this song, guitarist? They released about six known songs and have since been lost in the sands of time, at least for all we know. This is my review of the hip-hop classic, “Doin’ Your Mom”.

SONG REVIEW: “Doin’ Your Mom” – FAttY SPiNS (Ray William Johnson)

This song only has 400,000 views on its music video as we speak and it’s on the official channel for the band (The description states Micfri uploaded it) so I’m perplexed, I thought it was much bigger but I suppose it’s either a late reupload or it was never as viral as I assumed. Anyway, let’s dive deep into “Doin’ Your Mom”.

Doin’ your mom, doin’-doin’ your mom, doin’ your mom, doin-doin’ your mom...

I’m not even going to get into the absolutely insane video that screams early YouTube but it’s pretty cute, it’s just a bunch of adults probably too old to be yelling along to the repeated refrain of “Doin’ your mom” but they’re having fun with it at least, although Micfri makes no effort to actually lip-sync. My favourite shots in the video include of course the iconic intro where they walk on the street with a boombox like they just walked away from an explosion and the acapella version of the hook plays in the background like it was the most grandiose chorus in the history of music, but also honestly any shot where Ray is making a face, like at about 1:20, the shot with the green-screened purple background while the hook’s playing. I know this is intended to be funny (That’s why I didn’t do this for April Fools as I was going to; it felt too contrived) but there are parts in the video that seem so natural and like they thought the song was so much better than it is, and it’s almost more humorous than the song itself. Let’s briefly cover the instrumental while we’re here – it’s nothing all too special but it’s a fitting backing for the epic feel the song has, with the reverb and echo on Ray’s voice as he sprays over an odd yet VERY late-2000s fusion of rock and hip-hop, as there are some GarageBand-sounding guitars and a buzzing synth that help propel the intense strings that almost carry the song, with additional little tweaks like the twinkling synths adding a lot of punch but not making it too cluttered. Honestly, there are some parts of the song that seem like genuinely great musical ideas that may seem kind of wasted on this topic, like the screeching guitar solo or when the beat cuts out in the middle of each verse just to return with the guitar added and an additional synth melody, with both Ray and Micfri’s verses reflecting this change in a shift of their flow. I should probably add that Ray is actually a pretty good rapper for a YouTube personality, and his voice is suited for tracks like this (Yeah, somehow the chorus never gets old despite being repeated ad nauseum). As one of the comments said on the band’s Equals Three Wiki page (Yes, that exists and its comment section is hilariously absurd), he kind of sounds like he could voice Knuckles the Echidna. That’s enough rambling about how oddly appealing this song is sonically and let’s get straight to the meat and potatoes.

COOL TRANSiTiON

The last line of the hook has always puzzled me.

You know we straight, we doin’ your mom!

“Yes, I had to confirm I am in fact heterosexual by engaging in intercourse with your mother”. I know “Straight” is part of hip-hop slang and refers to people who don’t engage in criminal or dangerous activity like gang violence...

Yeah, we straight but if you wrinkle up the situation, he will go grab the iron – Tyler, the Creator on “OKRA”

..But did we really need reassurance from Ray William Johnson that he and his friend Micfri aren’t shooting people? – Oh, and what does this have to do with doin’ my mom? I shouldn’t worry, the verses go into fascinating detail about how Ray and Micfri met my mother as they trade bars recalling the event.

I’m doin’ your mom, yes, yours! / I first saw her in the Wal-Mart picking out your drawers

Micfri’s first verse is probably the most normal verse here, and doesn’t really have anything I can make all too much fun of other than an awful pun, until it ends because the last line is... well...

Five minutes later, she agreed to get with me / So we went and rocked the minivan like, “Giggity, giggity, giggity”

Micfri goes painfully offbeat just to shove his awkward Family Guy reference in there because I guess it still was 2010 and the show was still relevant, although I’d argue it has more of a place on YouTube now that those funny moments compilations are piling up way more views than they should. That’s all fine, right? Like there’s nothing in this verse that is too interesting, but that dreadful joke transitions pretty hilariously into when Ray comes in...

I was ridin’ your mom like she’s Mario Kart / I gave her a lift back to her crib ‘cause her car wouldn’t start

Yeah, okay, he stretches out some sentences and mumbles a few lines so they barely fit the meter but it works in such a janky manner because the rest of the song is an absolute mess anyway so if anything Ray is just making it work, because, mmm, he just gets it. I love he pronounces words here as well, it’s odd as hell, especially when he accentuates “Car” with a high-pitched and slightly Canadian accent?

How many times I tap that ass? OVER 9000!

Oh, my God, I forgot about this part. This is obviously a reference to the ancient Dragon Ball Z meme where Vegeta says Goku’s power level is at “over 9000” in the 4Kids dub and it was probably funny then, but with the gang vocals and his enthusiastic delivery, it’s even funnier now with nearly a decade of hindsight. There are some jokes that legitimately hold up though, mostly because they’re not incredibly dated and instead rely on Ray’s wit.

Yeah, she called me Pledge ‘cause I knocked the dust off her

Come on, that’s actually pretty clever, I suppose. Ray’s still a comedian after all despite all the memery so he has some clever jabs throughout his verses at least, especially the second verse, which is... even more interesting.

I like your momma’s big butt, and I cannot lie

That’s a cool reference that doesn’t feel forced because it fits in with the song. Nice, we’re seeing some improvement.

We make sexy time, yes? And every night I tap that / She saw me butt-naked, now she thinks I’m half-black

Wh... What? I thought Ray WAS half-black? Is that the joke? I don’t know, I mean seemingly it’s saying how black men are stereotyped to be packing under there but HALF-black? Aren’t you underselling yourself a bit there, Ray? Also, he’s already half-black, or at least mixed. I mean, he’s said the N-word once or twice before on Equals Three so I assumed he had to have some sort of privileges. Is he just that insanely tanned? This is probably the second most questionable punchline in the song, we’ll get to the worst one in a bit.

And I blame it on the al-al-alcohol

Wow, this song really IS dated, huh?

She likes the donkey punch, she likes the dirty Sanchez / Sometimes, she even likes to fool around in YOUR bed

Okay, that is epic, and by that I mean it’s the only bar in this track that feels like it was a good diss directed towards the listener, because most of this song goes into grim detail about the intercourse with said listener’s mother but none of it is as ruthlessly personal as that one.

And I’ll be honest, she likes me to Chris Brown her when she acts like Rihanna

Oh... Oh... That’s, uh, that’s a big yikes from me, Ray, Jesus, okay, well, this was topical in 2010 but I’m still not going to excuse this. I don’t mind using Chris Brown’s domestic assault case as a punchline against him because he deserves all the vitriol he gets, but relating him leaving Rihanna bruised and bleeding after having her phone smashed and being punched and freaking BITTEN to having rough sex with the listener’s mother is insanely insensitive, and how the drum pattern cuts out for Ray to say the last part, especially with the reverb on his voice, makes it even more awkward. You’ll be glad to know, however, that Micfri immediately justifies that horribly problematic bar with easily the best on the track.

She’s so therapeutic when I need to cure my restlessness / I (Brrrrrr) motorboat your mom’s breastesses

I don’t know if it’s the “Brrrr” or the “breastesses” but this line is hilarious to me, and I have mostly no idea why it’s such a good one. Anyway, the verses are finished now, so you expect us to have just a few repeats of the chorus until the song ends, right? But no. We have a bridge, and it’s the gorgeous climax of the song (No pun intended) that honestly may just be the best part, other than the comments on its Wiki page, but we’ll get to that. Breeze croons the bridge in cheap Auto-Tune, and the amount of vocal effects that are added unnecessarily to accentuate the oddly profound lyrics here, that are said only twice but are so essential to why the song has aged much better than it seems to have on the surface.

I’m havin’ sex with your mother and that makes me (Better, better) better than you

There’s something I can’t describe about this bridge and the subsequent guitar solo that makes it work so effectively, and I’m left speechless by it every time. The best part is I’m not joking for the most part, and this song, despite its mind-numbing chorus and incredibly dated and at some times shockingly offensive lyrics, it’s aged incredibly well because it knows it will not be taken seriously and is entirely self-aware, but in a way that doesn’t seep into the song’s content. Most memes these days are TOO self-aware, so when a legitimate, genuine meme comes along that embraces it instead of revelling in it, I’m fully supportive.

You was at the club / Bottoms up when I first met you – The Boyboy Westcoast on “Bottoms Up”

Boyboy embraces the meme and he has a very lighthearted perspective and modest attitude on the song that makes his self-awareness less of an aging factor, and it’s the same for Ray, but some of the memes feel self-aware to a fault when they’re all too loud about the sarcastic manner in which they desperately cling onto a self-awareness that may not actually be there, like when the Backpack Kid did that awfully cringeworthy Verified video on Genius about his flossing song. The heart wasn’t there and it felt plastic and manufactured, but it’s all present in Ray, Micfri and Breeze, as they’re all having fun dancing in the video and while they know they’re really stupid and they look like lunatics, they don’t care... and disregarding the comments of the wiki page in which anonymous users respond to in-depth analysis and rankings of the Mario Kart games with “I will end you”, and no, I’m not kidding, that is the beauty of “Doin’ Your Mom”.

You know we straight, we doin’ your mom

Seriously though check out the wiki page for both the song and the band (They’re linked here). The comments are beautifully absurd.
