#gab smolders playthrough is really great

[maoist-mizer]

Thanks for tagging me @swordfaery :3

Rules: shuffle your ‘on repeat’ playlist and post the first 10 tracks, then list 10 songs you really like, each by a different artist. then tag 10 people to do the same thing.

I know I don’t have to but don’t mind me I’m also going to be talking a bit about these songs

Ftp by MASTER BOOT RECORD -> I found this song by looking for music for my Faith: The Unholy Trilogy playlist, I don’t think I’ve come across synthesised heavy metal before so this was quite interesting. Their side project Keygen Church is also pretty good, if anything I’d recommend that over MASTER BOOT RECORD given their use of organ and sick ‘classical Baroque influence’.

White Noiz by Akira Yamaoka -> I recently was watching Gab Smolders’ playthrough of Silent Hill, so I decided to check out the franchise’s various soundtracks. It’s not my favourite song but I like the atmosphere.

Roygbiv by Boards of Canada -> I’ve been checking out IDM so obviously BoC were a staple to get into. I haven’t really connected with much of their music but this is one of the ones that I really like. I find it fascinating that the album is entirely instrumental save for some audio clips of old Sesame Street episodes sporadically scattered throughout. I’m not sure if there’s a reason why this song was titled Roygbiv, but I do think either way it fits with the aesthetic and atmosphere (as for those who don’t know Roygbiv is an acronym listing the colours of the rainbow: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet).

Somebody Told Me by The Killers -> I just wanted to listen to all of Hot Fuss, but I do find it funny that I knew this song first from Måneskin’s cover of it.

Sonne by Rammstein -> Ah yes one of the songs I’ll put on while pacing for hours thinking about my blorbos and OCs. Certified vampire song.

Ladykillers by Lush -> towards the end of last year I was watching Gregg Araki’s filmography and checking out shoegaze bands which is how I got around to Lush. I wish i could look half as cool as Miki Berenyi does with bright red hair.

Little Girls by Oingo Boingo -> the JoJo brainrot is real so I decided to check out Oingo Boingo since they were referenced in the show, to be honest there’s no way I can describe their music other than it just being tasty. It’s great, I want to eat it. And it always feels very awkward having to explain how this (so far) is my favourite song by them and no it is not weird I prommy.

Halls of Illusions by Insane Clown Posse -> Nothing much to say, certified juggalo moment.

Theme of Laura by Akira Yamaoka -> once again Silent Hill brought me here, tho this is my favourite track so far from the soundtracks.

Tear You Apart by She Wants Revenge -> I’m always on the look out for more goth music in whatever form it comes in, I’ll have to check the rest of their stuff out for more goth rock. That being said this probably just ended up on my ‘on repeat’ playlist due to it being on an OC’s playlists lol.

Now for the next 10 songs that I really like:

Tagging: @loverlesbian @sarenite @tigraine-mantear @femtopulsed @croissantcitysucks @deadrunin @mercymorncristabel @astridcookie @smarterthantheaverageloser @arofication (also no pressure if you don’t want to do this)

top 5 youtubers :)

omg sorry I'm answering this a little late but I have my list! I feel it's worth noting though that, to make this list slightly easier, I made this a list of my current favorites and not necessarily my favorites of all time because omg that's so much harder to think about lol. Also not including watcher in this list because that's a given.

5: GTlive

As much as I love good ol'game theory, the live channel is where it's at. The sheer unhinged chaos and squaking laughter is unmatched. Also I feel like ever since Ash joined (who is the tech behind the camera) they've added an even more fun, rambly chaotic energy to it. Highly recommend their playthroughs of Bad End Theater, What Remains of Edith Finch, and Trombone Champ (which is an absolutely bonkers game in itself). Super fun.

4: Kurtis Conner

Folks 👏 he's one of my favorite commentary youtubers and his series on the barbie and bratz movies are some of my favorites. Also all his videos with Andrew and his video with Drew Afualo are absolutely top tier.

3: Brittany Broski & Sara Schauer (because they kinda go as a pair in this instance)

All of their videos together make me die of laughter, and it's not super often that I legitimately die like that. An absolute MUST is their Zillow Gone Wild series where they go through some of the strangest houses listed on zillow. Brittany's medieval times video is also hilarious and Sarah's lego land video is *chefs kiss* if you're looking for another incredible youtube duo, they're the best.

2: Cinema Therapy

Speaking of youtube duos, this is another great one. It's a channel based around a therapist and a film-maker taking a look at some great films and looking at them through a psychological and film-making lense. Just super wholesome and informative at the same time. They are the internets dads :) some of my favorite episodes are their harley quinn episode, their twilight series, and most recently, their muppet christmas carol episode.

1: Jacksepticeye

Aah yes, the irish goblin himself :) Se��n's got not only some great playthroughs and commentary on some great games, but he recently put out some really big cinematic projects like The Iris Project, and raised over 10 million dollars for charity for Thankmas! Just such a comfort youtuber. Some of my favorite playthroughs are his God of War playthrough, The Closing Shift playthrough, Elden Ring playthrough, and his Observation Duty series he has with Gab smolders.

Thank you sm for this ask Mariah! This was legitimately so fun!! Would love to know your list btw 'cause I'm looking for new creators to watch 👀

Reply to @windywhispers !

There are barely any canon things I know of that hint at when the Clarke kids were adopted (I may or may not have fine-combed the game for stuff like this lol). I think the older kids might have been adopted very young, for a couple reasons, and that Megan was adopted when she was a little older, based on nothing at all. My twisted logic: assuming Taylor's memory of the tire swing is a copy-paste from Tanya's childhood, Tanya was a Clarke at least by the time she was ten. There is also that one dialogue variation in the prologue- if you haven't seen it, Tanya can try to lighten the mood with Anthony by saying, "They've been arguing since we were in diapers. Well, you were in diapers... I was better trained :)" So whatever that means for Tanya, Anthony was adopted really little. As for Dennis... there's not much to go on, but the car print wallpaper in the boys' room is rather juvenile, so there's that. Also I just kind of think, like, a couple can't have a baby, so they adopt a baby. When it's a good time for another kid, they adopt a toddler or another baby and so on. Between Anthony and Megan is a bigger age gap, though, so, going into headcanon territory, I imagine Megan came into the family a while later, as a toddler or a little older, and maybe with some trauma that caused her to seem "difficult" and therefore be treated a little differently even though the family wanted to show her love. The older kids were already starting to move on with their lives outside the family, however, so some of them maybe didn't bond with her very well like you imagined. And then factory problems and a gross pastor and whatever else affected everyone. But your ideas make sense too; the game just leaves a lot open to interpretation. Good for headcanons, bad for when you want answers 😅

Also... yeah I've never played the game either, I just watch way too many playthroughs trying to see all the variations. Gab Smolders is great! She uncovered a line or two I've never seen anyone else get. She was pretty thorough too, so I don't think you missed seeing any secrets at least.

[surveys-at-your-service]

Survey #453

“you can check out any time you like, but you can never leave”

What health problems run in your family? Diabetes, high blood pressure and cholesterol, depression, cancer, a LOT more that I'm forgetting. Where did you last have sex? I have zero memory of the last time that was, so I wouldn't know. But probably a bed? How long have you known your best friend? Since we were around 8 and 11. What’s something people criticize you the most for? That I rely on the computer too much. Are spiders scary? I mean some are, but they're also extremely fascinating animals that I really enjoy observing. Cheetos. Poofy or regular? Regular, for sure. The poofy ones get stuck in your teeth SO badly. What's your favorite music genre? Heavy metal. Be honest. What are you most afraid of? Doing nothing with my life. What's your favourite type of survey to take? The ones with really random questions that you don't see in every single one. However, I don't like "random" to where the questions are just inapplicable to almost everyone. I also enjoy questions that allow me to vent about stuff I have going on. If I'm in the right mood, deep questions are great, too. What was the last topic you read about? In detail? I don't know. What shirt do you wear the most? Besides tank tops, my Cloak "equal in our bones" Day of the Dead shirt. What's your go-to order from KFC? I don't eat at KFC. Did you have hand-me-down clothes when you were growing up? Yes. What was the last song you listened to? Well, NOW I'm obsessed with Violet Orlandi's cover of "Hotel California." I keep finding new songs that I just loop for days, man, lol. I'm still not over her "The Unforgiven" cover. Did you have long hair as a young kid? I did. How many songs do you know by the band you are listening to? I'm still listening to Violet's "Hotel California" cover, which is originally by The Eagles. I obviously know this song, as well as "Heartache Tonight." Probably more, just those are the two I know and like. What podcasts do you listen to, if any? I don't listen to any. What was your most recent binge watch? Gab Smolders' playthrough of Final Fantasy X. What’s the oldest thing currently in your house? Hell, possibly my bed frame. I don't know. If you use Snapchat, do you post to your story or send individual snaps more often? I don't have one. When was the last time you rolled your eyes? At what? Not too long ago. Mom said something that really annoyed me. Do you like mozzarella sticks? No. If you had to name one of your children after a friend, solely based on their name alone, who would you choose? Probably Alon. Everything about her is beautiful, ha ha. Have you ever watched anime porn? I can confidently say I have not... Are ladybugs cute? Yes! Would you wear something made from snake skin? Fuck no. I won't wear anything that comes from an animal. Will you leave the house without fragrance on? Yeah, idc. What’s the coolest thing you’ve ever done for a significant other? In art class, I made an anatomically correct heart out of clay and put it in a shadow box along with a poem as the background. I honestly really hope Jason still has it, because I worked my ass off on it. What do you think of naming your son after the father (ex. Roy Jr.): It's not my business what other parents name their kids, but for me personally, I really don't like it. Like... give your child their own identity. It also feels kinda arrogant to me? Like are you so important that you have to force your name onto your kid? Do you like Death Cab For Cutie? I only know "I Will Follow You Into the Dark," which I adore. Do walking near or past cops make you feel uncomfortable? Yes. I just feel like I'm doing something wrong somehow. Do you think stretching (or gauging) your ears is disgusting?

Just... no. What would you do if your bf/gf told you they were going into the army? I'd be fucking devastated, in a hypothetical relationship where we're serious.

Was it scary? No. Are you someone who tends to take a whole lot of naps? Too many, honestly. I'm just like... always tired. What is your favorite nickname you like to be called? Why do you like it? Hm. My favorite I've ever had was "Bee," which Megan called me, but I don't like others calling me that. Ever meet someone whose house has burned down spontaneously? Yes, in middle school. Why aren’t you pursuing the person you like? I kinda am. I reached out to him. What part of a person’s body do you find most attractive? Guys: shoulder blades. Girls: hips. Any friends that you’d go on a date with? Yeah. I think I want to try that with Girt and see how it goes and decide what the fuck I want. Is it cute when someone calls you babe? It's funny, I used to hate that, but now I imagine I wouldn't mind? Do you like Muse? Yeah! "Unnatural Selection" and "Psycho" are especially BANGERS. What’s your favorite flavor of jello? Strawberry. What song is stuck in your head right now? I'm bingeing the absolute fuck outta the song I mentioned earlier, ha ha. Do you have a niece or nephew? I have a lot, but only three I see regularly. Have you ever been caught doing something REAL embarrassing by your parents? idk What did you receive for Valentine’s Day? I think Mom got me a chocolate bar? When was the last time you went to a cemetery, and why were you there? I want to say this was many years ago when I went with Colleen to her church.

Yep. Always lived here. What’s a smell that makes you feel ill? Dog shit. Do you like to sleep? Yes and no. I like falling asleep if it's quick, because I'm all comfy, but I also dread sleep because of my nightmares. Even with my mask, they're starting to become regular again. After last night's, I am legitimately beginning to fear something is psychologically wrong with me. Like, I cried to my mom. Do you like the smell of gasoline? Ugh, no. It gives me a headache. Have you lost contact with anyone you wish you haven’t? Many people. Did you give anyone his/her first kiss? No. Should you ever have gone to the hospital but didn’t? Vice versa? No. Who do you miss the most? Jason. What do you miss the most? Being happy. What is your birthstone? Do you have any jewelry with it? Amethyst. I have a really cute guardian angel pin with one given to me by my grandmother. What is the last dream you remember having? Last night was... awful. I remember Mom and I getting in a MASSIVE fight, and also literally yelling at my late beloved dog something about crushing his head in if he didn't stop barking. Like I mentioned earlier, I'm really scared something is really wrong with me. Have you had a church confirmation, bar/bat mitzvah, or something similar? Growing up Roman Catholic, I had a Confirmation ceremony. What was the last baby animal you saw? I wanna say a puppy on Facebook. A friend just got one.
