Hate for everyone to be seeing this but please reblog if u wanna. But slight warning about for what ur gonna read.
So Saturday I was at AZ mills shopping for school stuff right? I was w my mom and Titi (my aunt) about to leave all of a sudden we just heard screaming then people running.
Me and my mom tried ducking down at a kiosk but thankfully a lady was near guiding us to an exit nearby too. We got out safely but immediately after we legit thought we got sorta caught up in a mall sh**ting.
After, almost like every 20 mins I would go back onto google and begin to refresh my page to see if any articles were yk made already to give me some sorta closure. It did.
Turns out a fight just broken out at a kiosk. Three people were apparently trying to steal things and in the process got into a fight with the cashier and pushed him. This person fell and ended up getting a laceration on his head from a piece of furniture on the way down. And I’m guessing something fell which mimicked a sh*t fired and people ran thinking it was or just didn’t wanna be in the mix.
Why am I even telling everyone this?? Well.. I decided to go on tik tok cuz I know there must be some videos about it whether it be just footage as the were hiding or evacuating. But this one acc is basically lying about the whole situation.
Ofc people called it a sh**ting at first cuz they yk thought it was but this one kid tried to say it was and make up a whole story of how he was “injured” even using one of the most low quality images off of google to “prove it”. I know camera quality varies but I highly doubt it’s this bad.
His other video giving his side is also on his page still.
The Tempe police department has confirmed there was no shooting. On both their twitter and multiple articles have stated it too. So this person is attempted to cash out on something that probably scarred the victim and A LOT of people cuz lemme tell u the mall was PACKED whether this was their first scare or it was the second third fourth or however many times they’ve experienced this traumatic experience. INCLUDING ME. Literally today I was scared of going to Walmart and for like the beginning of the thing I was holding to her arm so just in case. But also just imagining how the hell it would even go down.
I’m drawing attention to this scammer because ain’t no way would I encounter a person trying to profit off of something traumatic for the victim, witnesses, and bystanders but also twist the narrative into something even more horrible than what was confirmed by the literal police.
Please repost this cuz idk if anyone else has posted about this yet but also to bring light to this terrible person and the even more terrible situation.

FREAKYFemale Fronted Dance Party
Needed to dance in my room this week. Just another fabulous list to move ya. This time from some of my fav femmes from my youth. These ladies lived in the interior landscape of my mind. So lets GOOOOOO!!!
I know for sure this song has been on previous lists which is fine because it really is a fun song to dance to!
The Glove - Orgy (1983) - YouTube
I adore The Creatures just a slight more than S&TB because of all the quirky percussive rhythms, world beat influences and inventive sounds they came up with. This song is all that, perfectly encapsulated.
Pluto Drive - The Creatures (Siouxsie) - An Hour With Jonathon Ross - 17/12/1989 - YouTube
CRANES!!! I have shared this before: the chainsaw guitars, the pixie vocals, hypnotizing drums -heres the real deal in epic grunge era guitars without all that lousey punk and country rock to cheeze it out. Thanks, for nothing Seattle.
youtube
His name is another weird one I love to dance to. Just perplexing they were a thing that existed in the 90s at all, given how mysteriously unconventional they were. If it weren't for the Quay brothers, they may have never reached my ears. The bros shoulda never tarnished their great vision for Tool fans, but I guess ya gotta make the bucks sometime, afterall stop motion takes a lot of time, time is money therefor claymation isn't cheap. I usually share "Cant go on Without You" cuz its a great introduction -pure peak HMIA, but then I found this live footage posted of them playing some rando store and it just blew my mind. Their studio recorded versions are a complete 180 vibe from their live performance. I saw them live once, in the late 90s, and it was an odd sort of puppet show with happy folksy rock songs I never heard -even further away from the source material I knew LOL. They taught me about not having preconceived boundaries in music. I LOVEED them for it, although I'm not sure if it really helped their career dealing with promoters. I'm going to bonus add th recoded version and that "cant go" video here, so you dont have to go looking for em if youre even mildly curious. Also, I know how lazy I am, so why make a recommendation, expecting you to search, when I can just show it to you here?
youtube
youtube
youtube
Nina Hagen the DIVA herself! I have included 2 versions here as well. The recorded studio version and Nina singing this IRL. I only wish the person that uploaded this had a better copy. Still, I think her performance did it justice.
youtube
youtube
Grace kicking ass all over the place! Demolition, mam.
youtube
Don't let them fool you. They sound like angels but I know they are ALSO tough ass bitches you do not fuck with.
youtube
Strawberry Switchblade - ribbons and beats galore!! Thers a sweetness quality that pre-dates a jpop/kpop type vibe.
youtube
I will probably compile a list of just Curve songs, unless I already did? I dont know how back I can scroll through tumblr but yea I love them THAT MUCH!!!

snapchat headcanons
✧ hc’s ✧ for using snapchat w ur boi toi ft. the pretty setter squad
❧ gn reader
✎ 3.1k words
a/n: kinda a combo of how they use sc and the kinds of snaps they send you! along w wat u send them, and uh... dating stuf n shenanigans? texting/snapping habits? my fantasies? IDEK ANYMORE EOFHEFJ
this was born from the recesses of my mind , which desired nothing mor than snapchats from suga , us sending cute selfies , others bein dumb n chaotic , no context videos , n him snapping me photos of some mangoes on sale he said he’ll buy for me DXX it’s too late for me now
doing research on hq bois and surfing thru sc features (im just now realizing theres quite a bit?? im hoping i address most of them at some point lolol) instead of real life tings aHHhhhHAHA
requests: open! will be working on a suga one i got, dw, requester!
sugawara
✧ sends good morning and good night snaps
✧ so he’s rlly good at keeping streaks, probs has the longest ones (one of them being y’alls streak)
✧ posts tidbits of volleyball practice on his story every once in a while
✧ snaps you pics of his sleeping teammates when they’re coming back to school after a long day of matches , adding a single ‘❤️’ as a caption
✧ he will also create colorful masterpieces on all of them
✧ gives daichi a santa beard, tanaka a squiggly stache (i imagine it to look like spongebob n patrick’s seaweed ones now that were mEN), n kageyama sum angry brows,,, wait he already has them lolol u good der kags
✧ posts a picture of you when you’re hanging out, captioning it: “🥰“
✧ has conversations with you purely via snaps
✧ ranges from casual chats and checking up on u to crackwhoring ( ** indicates the photo, while the “” quotes indicate the caption, all snaps are italicized, otherwise its regular dialogue)
✧ suga: *peace sign* “hey sweetheart, how r u?”
✧ you: *pics of homework* “ahh, drowning in school ;-; i cant wait for this week to be over fghjkl”
✧ suga: *close up with :o on his face* “let’s study together tmrw!”
✧ or
✧ suga: *complete darkness* “its 3 am n i cant sleep”
✧ you: *the top half of your head, laying on a pillow* “ ;( aw babe. do u want me to send something to help u sleep?”
✧ suga: *still in darkness* “y u still up?? go sleep. n 🥺 yes pls”
✧ you: *snaps pics of feet* “that’ll be 50 bucks, pay up”
✧ suga: *darkness remains* “can we make a trade instead? i promise to make it worth ;)”
✧ ok now u BOTH cant sleep (im sry my crackheading be acting up around 2am eeryday, i stan a mischievous suga--)
✧ video chats (in the darkness lol) instead until you both pass out (im not in luv u r 😭)
✧ super down to take filtered selfies w you
✧ does all the silly ones with you (things like ’angry face’ or the frog one)
✧ but also rlly digs lookin cute with you using some heart crowns, y’all an aesthetic (n crakhead) duo fosho
✧ def subscribes to life hacks and tries them out himself, has a 50% success rate
kageyama
✧ doesn’t rlly use snapchat too much
✧ but when he does
✧ will either send you a picture to indicate he’s at volleyball practice (wow wat a sexi lookin gym floor)
✧ or some random picture of whatever he’s doing at the moment (*drinking milk*)
✧ this is mostly in order to save streaks
✧ he’s so bad at streaks
✧ “why does it matter?? what’s the point of sending just black screens or whatever’s in front of you at the moment??”
✧ can’t keep a consistent streak for more than 3 days and also doesn’t care (until hinata challenges him to see who can have the longer one)
✧ when you send him videos of him playing, he really focuses on them to try to improve his technique. asks you to send those vids to him (assuming u saved them, which u did)
✧ but when you look over his shoulder when he’s watching a video and give him some compliment (“i recorded at the perfect moment! that was a really good set, kageyama!”), he gets a bit flustered
✧ gets even more flustered but pretty happy whenever you post videos on your story showing karasuno winning some points with captions like:
✧ “footage of the legendary quick >.>” or “karasuno crows flyin high!” or “these bois make my heart 😭 im so proud”
✧ you WILL catch him off guard in photos, using filters that surrounds his head w/ emojis like 🥺💖🥰💘
✧ you also put these on your story (to his dismay)
✧ ppl comment on these mor than anything else (n for those who dont rlly kno kageyama, theyre kinda surprised to him like this)
✧ hinata snickers “hey kageyama you look pretty good here--”
✧ takes some selfies with you, mostly cuz you want them
✧ saves them after u send them over (n secretly cherishes them)
✧ occasionally watches his subscriptions, they’ll usually involve sports, mostly volleyball (who woulda guessed)
✧ you use his bitmoji to test out random facial expressions you would never see him wear
✧ you: “can you smile and wink like this? act like you’re the obnoxious charming guy in a shojo.”
✧ will actually attempt, but it looks so bad that you die inside and he never wants to try again cuz of ur laughing outburst (you: “😭😭 bb im sorry i couldnt help it”)
oikawa
✧ literally sends you anything and everything
✧ morning bathroom selfie to show off how good his hair came out that day, saying:
✧ “he has risen”
✧ or “i woke up like this”
✧ and my favorite, “you’re lucky you get this content for frEE”
✧ selfies with iwa, who just looks annoyed and exasperated at the camera
✧ sends you pics of his lunch and snacks (“bet u wish u had milk bread too”)
✧ always packs extra milk bread so he could convince you to stay at his practice after school--
✧ FILTERSS
✧ I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENUF
✧ will either use the filters that make him kayooottt (cute)
✧ loves the ones named ‘hearts,’ ‘soft,’ ‘peach,’ ‘butterfly cheeks,’ vsco filters LOL, etc
✧ uses ‘big mouth’ when he feelin a bit sASSY; also loves to use this one when he rants, it channels his inner valley girl
✧ sometimes he’ll be snacking or drinking something while he does so (“hey guys today im gonna eat these milk buns from my favorite bakery and this bomb orange juice and complain about this little kid who talked smack to me earlier and almost made me cry--”)
✧ takes cute selfies with you, is an aesthetic selfie king, puts them on his story to show off he’s hangin with you
✧ but on your story you only post the ones he looks bad in LOL
✧ has separate stories for his every need, some r private (and lucky you, ur included in all of them)
✧ titles them ‘mean things iwa said to me today,’ ‘ranting hotbox + mukbangs,’ ‘a day in the life of oikawa,’ ‘volleyball 🏐,’ ‘unpopular opinions,’ etc.
✧ fitting room photoshoots lol
✧ “y/n, what do you think of this??” “and this?” “oOH WHAT ABOUT THIS??”
✧ ends up calling you through video chat so you can live critique his choices
✧ “oikawa, please no, i can’t be seen with you in public if you wear those--”
✧ also changes his bitmoji’s outfits from time to time, hopes you’ll notice, but you don’t LOL (oikawa: ;((((((( )
kenma
✧ uses sc usually just to reply to messages ppl send him
✧ indifferent about streaks, but keeps a few with ppl he’s closer to
✧ mindlessly plays the snapchat games with you, finds some of them kinda cute
✧ you both made his bitmoji for him, dressing his up in the orange cat suit
✧ you also helped make kuroo’s and put his in the black cat suit to match--
✧ snaps you every time he gets a new game, starts playing it, and once he finishes
✧ started to post some gameplays and reviews on his sc story (might as well add them to sc since he was already on other social platforms), and ended up amassing a large following
✧ follows the tech and gaming stories on sc
✧ as well as the ones with cute animals--
✧ open to selfies with you, usually wears a calm expression and holds up a peace sign
✧ even occasionally sticks his tongue out
✧ his story is occasionally heavily bombarded with candids of him w/ pretty sc filters, all taken by you
✧ but of all the filters, you love using the clout glasses on him
✧ especially when he’s just minding his own business
✧ “kenma, in his tru habitat” when hes cocooned in a blanket
✧ “kenma, on his way to steal yo manz” while on his way to the bathroom
✧ “kenma, next iron chef. watch out gordon” as he’s cooking instant ramen
✧ “kenma” n das it
✧ but he thinks it meme-y so he lets you do whatever you want, kinda digs it
✧ you end up dedicating your snap story to memes of kenma and the nekoma volleyball team. ppl are in it for the shits n giggles n hot bois
✧ you later discover someone else did the same thing with their volleyball team filled with hot bois from shiratorizawa, and you befriend tendou and share funni internet tings
akaashi
✧ 99% of his photos include either you or bokuto or both
✧ bokuto spams akaashi’s story and contact list with selfies and videos of himself using weird filters, often gets you to join him
✧ has several streaks, but will send something with more substance than a black screen or his bedroom window
✧ will usually involve smthng that just happened to him or smthing he saw, like:
✧ “a kind older lady offered me some apples in return for helping her”
-or:
✧ “how do i break the news to bokuto that the yaikniku place he’s been wanting to go to for the past week ,,, is closed today”
✧ o n let’s not leave out:
✧ “is it possible to conjure a ghost using a wooden spatula, ketchup, and a chalk drawn hexagram? bokuto’s been paranoid ever since he tried last night and i dont know what to tell him. seriously, help”
✧ looks through stories occasionally, comments whenever bokuto makes questionable decisions
✧ also comments on whatever you’ve posted. his words range from “you’re cute” to “why,” depending on the content
✧ ppl know when y’all are hanging out cuz he’ll post smthing to indicate he’s with you, usually it’s some candid and you’re not paying attention
✧ appreciation posts for you as well! esp if you got him something, like onigiri or his fav, Nanohana no Karashiae , for lunch! (akaashi: *snaps a pic of his food* “thank you y/n for feeding me”)
✧ prefers video calling over texting/snapping whenever possible tho
✧ occasionally reminisces thru his sc memories
✧ enjoys the flashback feature and will send them to you and bokuto (cuz they’re about y’all anyway lolol)
✧ also has secretly saved a bunch of selfies of himself, consists of him trying out a lot of the filters (he feelin himself)
✧ you, one day, looking thru his phone and discovering them: “akaashi, you’re so pretty wtf”
✧ akaashi: “...”
koganegawa
✧ sends you selfies of him before practice
✧ during breaks
✧ and after practice, usually makes a comment about how it went for him that day like:
✧ “i hit a decent toss today and futakuchi actually complimented me!”
✧ that, or:
✧ “i got yelled at 17 times today 😢😩”
✧ has quite a few streaks, his longest ones being with you and hinata
✧ def uses filters
✧ tries out every funny one he finds and sends you videos
✧ “look y/n im an aaaaAALlliiEEENnnNNN oo oo hoo hhhooOOh”
✧ “now im a chicky nuggy!!” (chicken nugget)
✧ also enjoys the doodle feature
✧ but he uses the filter with the clout glasses unironically--
✧ usually when smth good happens to him and he feels happy and/or cool about it
✧ “just beat the boss in this game on my 69th try B)”
✧ “kogane, that’s--”
✧ plays sc games with you and thinks bitmojis r cool
✧ kinda sad he cant find a hair option that matches him tho lolol rip
✧ you: “you hair’s just,,, unique,,,”
✧ subscribed to anything sports and fitness, as well as pop culture so he can stay in the loop
✧ also watches everyone else’s stories, pointing out whenever he sees smthing cool and/or interesting
✧ “woahh, karasuno’s at nationals right now! i wish we could’ve won, but next year for sure!!”
✧ you encourage him at all his games, hyping him up irl and online
✧ “koganegawa: best setter 😍!!”
✧ luckily you didnt record the parts he completely messed up LOL
semi
✧ before going out with you, snaps you a pic of his casual outfit like:
✧ semi: “does this look ok”
✧ you: “babe you look great, tendou was just messing with you”
✧ will make unwanted appearances on tendou’s snap and complains to you about them
✧ “i didnt consent to being part of his meme page” and
✧ “okay, but he didn’t only have to share all the moments i messed up--”
✧ also indifferent about streaks but will do them
✧ sometimes sends snaps/streaks indicating he’s practicing his music
✧ when you see these you usually ask him to send you vids or if you can come over n watch
✧ initially is a bit shy about it but he loves what he does and you and knows you’re genuinely interested and supportive so he agrees
✧ secretly rlly enjoys having you as his personal audience
✧ lowkey into asmr, like the soap cutting shit as well as chewing crunchy things
✧ also watches food porn and clips of mukbangs, then can’t resist going on youtube and watching the whole thing
✧ “y/n, can we try this, it looks so good--”
✧ will also often watch oikawa’s stories, especially his ‘ranting hotbox + mukbangs,’ and makes comments about him being an idiot
✧ “this kid he’s talking about is a savage”
✧ but admits they’re quite entertaining
✧ just looks serious in all the selfies you take with him
✧ you: “can you look like you’re enjoying yourself?”
✧ semi: “i look cooler like this tho”
✧ sc memories filled with shenanigans from you and the volleyball team, doodles, and mirror selfies with him experimenting diff looks (you: “tendou, you got him way too concerned about this”)
✧ also enjoys showing off he’s with you, taking a short video of you when you hang out
✧ you: “semi, i look bad right now”
✧ semi: “but you can never look bad”
✧ you: “🥺 bb”
✧ viewers: “aw”
✧ shiratorizawa: “can he be this nice with us LOL”
shirabu
✧ his main mode of communication with you is mostly through the regular messaging app, so he doesn’t use sc too much
✧ also doesn’t care for streaks and is bad at keeping them
✧ will answer to you or his senpais rather soon tho
✧ but lets all his other notifications pile up a bit before finally going thru them
✧ goes through the snaps he receives really fast, spending like 2 seconds each to look at them cuz aint nobody got time for dat
✧ doesn’t even rlly open goshiki’s LOL
✧ you have fun using filters on him and taking videos while he’s just doing his own thing peacefully like studying
✧ it takes him a second to notice and when he finally looks up, he just gives you an exasperated look
✧ cue you cracking up with laughter bc the filter finally shows up on his face
✧ his eyes and mouth are now on mike wazowski
✧ that, or his face becomes so disturbingly moRPhed like an alien
✧ caption: “ken-chan, my future medical man 😍”
✧ “y/n, please, this is like the 7th time in the last 20 minutes--”
✧ finally convinced him to take a study break and hang out with you
✧ which usually consists of snacking and light banter while you lay your head on his lap
✧ and scrolling through snapchat stories and showing him what everyone else is up to and cool things you’re subscribed to
✧ “loooook, dr. miami’s doing another butt job! is this the line of work you’re studying so hard for?”
✧ “no, it’s really not”
✧ is actually very soft with you and likes having the photos and vids for memories
atsumu
✧ sends you snaps where his brother looks bad, captioning it:
✧ “this is evidence that im the hotter twin”
✧ likewise, osamu sends you snaps where atsumu looks even worse
✧ like, the mans passed out, looking rekt and open mouthed, drool seeping into his pillow
✧ osamu: “u still have time to break up with him”
✧ also lucky for you, atsumu also loves to take unflattering photos of you and send them to you randomly at like 2 am
✧ you: “nani tf when did you even take this??”
✧ usually posts a snap while he’s out somewhere like at a match, the gym, outside on a run, a party, or just hanging out with you or his frens
✧ however, makes sure you look good if you show up on his story cuz he wants to show you off
✧ doesn’t really care for streaks, but has a lott
✧ but also has a tON of unopened snaps
✧ is the type to send just a black screen n call it a day, or maybe spice it up by sending a pic of the sexi gym floor (a comeback) w his shoe in the corner
✧ will, however, consistently respond to you and kinda looks forward to ur snaps (secretly hopes you show ur face)
✧ but when you dont:
*in class*
✧ atsumu: *a smirk on his face* “your content’s kinda dry today”
✧ you: *your sexi desk* “my nudez ain’t free, i demand compensation”

AU WWX & AU LWJ, what is your head cannon on their relationship dynamics. Who would have made the first move, who would have confessed and etc.
I’m guessing that this question is about my previous AU post about an alternate universe where Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji are idols! This post is probably going to be a little ridiculously embellished, because why not.
In this universe, which is an AU version of our modern day world, Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji are the two biggest pop stars in China. While they fall in love while working on their series of critically acclaimed collaborations, they actually met many years before as trainees.
Upon meeting at a joint training camp held by Gusu Lan Entertainment, Lan Wangji decides that Wei Wuxian is quite possibly the most infuriating fool he has ever had the misfortune of meeting. After all, for a trainee from Yunmeng Jiang Entertainment, Wei Wuxian seems to lack all manners and decorum, loses the security badge required for entry into the Gusu Lan Arena, and to add insult to injury, seems determined to break every single rule Gusu Lan Entertainment expects their artists to follow.
(Lan Wangji does not understand how Wei Wuxian is considered the most talented trainee Yunmeng Jiang has to offer. Clearly, there are better trainees. He does not have high hopes for the boy.)
Wei Wuxian, on the other hand, finds Lan Wangji -- no, Lan Zhan, since that’s actually his real name, not his stage name -- to be an endless source of entertainment. He’s not entirely sure why Lan Zhan is determined to never have any fun in life. (He’s not even sure if Lan Zhan knows what “fun” is.) He’s even more determined to find out, though.
(Lan Wangji is not impressed. He is, however, extremely confused.)
In any case, at some point during the training camp, Wei Wuxian decides that he will be Lan Zhan’s friend, regardless of whether or not Lan Zhan wants him as a friend.
(Lan Zhan has never actually had a friend. It’s all very strange to him.)
This is not supposed to be a fic, so I’m not going to include too much more backstory exposition here. Mostly, I wanted to offer some history before we get to the main course!
So, now we are a few years in the future, and Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji have both debuted. They aren’t megastars yet, so Gusu Lan Entertainment and Yunmeng Jiang Entertainment decide it might be a good idea to have their two budding idols work on a collaboration together, kind of like the Kangta & Vanness collaboration from 2011. Or Jun Ho and Van Ness, from 2012. (In fact, Van Ness Wu’s collaborations seem like a pretty good business model to copy.)
During this process, Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji spend many late nights working closely together. Unlike other idols, they actually write their own music, and even play their own instruments. They’re exceptionally talented musicians, and they discover just how well they complement one another during this time.
[Insert some cheesy line about how their souls speak to one another through music, because this is The Untamed AU.]
(It’s around this same time that Wei Wuxian starts to notice how distractingly handsome Lan Zhan is. He really has no right being that handsome. It’s rude, really.)
They end up writing and recording enough songs to release an EP together. It’s all very productive.
(It’s during this time that Lan Wangji realizes that he can’t seem to stop looking at Wei Wuxian -- correction, Wei Ying. He curses his treacherous eyes, which keep finding their way back to the ridiculous curl of Wei Ying’s mouth.)
[Insert an absurd amount of unfulfilled sexual tension, largely caused by a certain Wei Wuxian growing increasingly, outrageously flirty, much to Lan Wangji’s complete dismay.]
At some point, Wei Wuxian kinda-sorta accidentally gets Lan Zhan drunk. He really didn’t mean to. It sort of just happened. He discovers that Lan Zhan is kind of hilarious when he’s drunk. So he makes it a habit of occasionally convincing (or tricking) Lan Zhan into have drink.
On a particularly hot summer night, after an entire day spent rehearsing choreography for the music video they are supposed to shoot the next day, Wei Wuxian once again manages to get Lan Zhan drunk. He kind of accidentally may have gotten himself drunk in the process. And maybe sort of accidentally ends up in Lan Zhan’s lap. He really didn’t plan for that to happen. It sort of just does, along with all the relatively rated-M stuff that happens after that.
Afterwards, he panics, not unlike his counterpart in MDZS, cuz apparently, this is apparently Untamed-AU-meets-MDZS-AU.
Wei Wuxian tells Lan Zhan that this is just the sort of thing that guys sometimes do together, and not to take it too seriously, then immediately runs off, because of course he does.
It’s all very dramatic.
[Insert even more dramatic internal monologue.]
Fast forward to the next day. It is now the big day of their music video shoot.
Wei Wuxian gets there early, and arrives alone. Lan Xichen, who has no real reason being on set but who I need to put on the set because plot, is quite surprised to see Wei Wuxian on the set without his brother, especially considering that in recent weeks, they pretty much had become inseparable.
One thing leads to another - I really don’t know how - but Lan Xichen is the best wingman ever and ends up more or less telling Wei Wuxian what a dumbass he is for not really understanding Lan Wangji’s feelings, because come on. Literally every single person on both teams know that Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian have been making eyes at each other like no one’s business.
And of course, once Lan Wangji arrives on set, Wei Wuxian does what Wei Wuxian does best and declares, in front of everyone on set, that he really, truly deeply is in love with Lan Wangji. Remember, we are in Untamed-AU-meets-MDZS-AU land now, and apparently I’ve decided that this is now a retelling of the story through idol land.
In any case, Lan Wangji is overcome with emotion and there is a dramatic embrace.
The director of the music video sees all of this and decides to rewrite the script, right there on the spot. He tells the lead actress who they were supposed to both be pining over that she no longer will be playing a love interest.
The music video for their first collaboration song drops. The song itself is renamed WangXian. It’s filled with “socialist brotherhood” (aka censored gay love) scenes of Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji together.
Pandemonium ensues. The single breaks records upon release. Youku’s site actually crashes because so many people are trying to watch the music video. WangXian instantly becomes the #1 trending hot search. CP speculation explodes overnight. It only gets worse when the BTS footage is released.
Meanwhile, somewhere in Beijing, Wei Ying is sprawled on the couch, playing a video game on his phone, while Lan Zhan makes them dinner as Wei Wuxian’s cat rubs against Lan Zhan’s leg. It’s all very domestic.
As for their relationship dynamics, I don’t think it would be all that different from the way they are in the show! They’re Wei Ying and Lan Zhan, after all. Where one goes, the other is sure to follow.

This is probably not even the intention behind this, but I like to imagine the reason Jim is in the Making of One Vision video is bc Freddie wanted to have him included. Like, “hey they can’t cut this out, he’s sitting there the whole time.”
Cuz he would’ve known they were going to be filmed. It was clearly something intended to be filmed as “you guys write a song fairly quickly & we film it.” So it’s not like Jim was likely accidentally there. Like “oh no, I brought the boyfriend. Guess he’ll just sit there awkwardly.”
And considering the fact Jim thought up the fried chicken part, I actually wonder if there’s unused footage of Jim suggesting that & other things. As if they tried to keep him out of the final product as much as possible, but a few scenes just had to have him sitting there.

#BernieisaCop
Is trending on Twitter
And I’m so happy for it
While one of our candidates actually worked to reform the system from the inside, she was labelled a cop. For taking a look at the issues of criminal justice holistically, she was labelled a cop. Despite lowering incarceration rates, creating progressive programs, linking education improvements toward lowering incarceration and increasing opportunities. For reopening the cold case files of black victims and getting justice. For keeping the GOP from abusing the death penalty (and advocating for its removal). For testing different ways to run the prison system and creating the first data banks on what works and doesn’t work. For defending victims and survivors of sexual assault, molestation, sex trafficking, and violent rape, she was labelled a cop. For helping California eliminate the gay and trans panic defense, she was labelled a cop. This, of course, is about Kamala Harris.
Meanwhile, Bernie voted for that ‘94 crime bill. He, and his supporters, said that he only voted for it due to the Violence Against Women Act being included in it. What we now know from the media recovering footage of him speaking on it in ‘94, is that this talking point is just that, a talking point, and a false one at that. Bernie point blank says that he thinks people need harsher penalties sometimes. He goes on to speak WITH PRIDE at how the police will be militarized due to this bill. He says it’s important to take a tough on crime approach.
People say, well, the black caucus supported it then, and so did Joe Biden. But let’s be clear about that, because many of these folks, including Biden, say that they regret that vote and now favor changing shit, often in the same way Kamala has been fighting for since fucking 2003! Why isn’t Bernie excused here? Cuz as is stated, he didn’t apologize for it, he used that fake excuse. He didn’t own up to it. He lied. We already know Bernie needs this idea of “always being right and consistent” as part of his “I’m the only one” bullshit. But this is the cost of mythologizing yourself and allowing your supporters to put you on a pedestal. If you aren’t allowing others to learn, grow and own up to their mistakes, why should we allow you to? Furthermore, if you are not YOURSELF owning up to it, why would we ever believe you’re rumbling with this shit in the first place? It all start inside, man, and you aren’t doing that hard work. We told you all Bernie had racist and weird views on this issue all along. Like when he also said that we should build prisons right on the border to hold people coming here in. If Bernie is consistent on this issue, it’s that he wants to build more prisons at the expense of PoC. Maybe he’s evolved on that issue, but, since you are all saying he’s so consistent and the same since 1958, I guess I know where he stands.
But damn, Instead of letting yourself evolve and grow, you and your campaign rallied people to spread racist bullshit against Kamala who is a leader on these issues. You will openly embrace the types of proposals she supports and leads on but you won’t speak her name when you do it. It is what it is i guess, but we aren’t gonna support you and we remember.
So, all i can say is, I’m glad this is getting out there. I wish Hillary’s campaign had found these videos when he was attacking her on this issue, but damn it is hard to find this stuff and dig it up. So I’m happy to know folks are taking Bernie serious as a threat this time. Air that shit from coast to coast. #BernieisaCop #FuckBernie #NeverBernie #VetBernie

Red Mountain Weight Loss Reviews
Red Mountain Weight Loss Reviews
130 Kg today’s March 6th I mean wanted to Write this Article for a long time so today is March 6th of 2022,
And last year by December I know I wanted to lose weight and I’ve been trying a lot of different things and they do not work.
So last year we were looking at houses and I was filming you know to write an article for lossweight.us about our house searching,
And when I look when I was editing the footage um I said oh my god I mean I know I was overweight and I’m only five – and I was 160 pounds.
So when I was editing the footage I said oh my god my face was it looks like a pancake-like a huge pancake and I just felt I said I have to do something,
And I should have done something right away but again I took it as an excuse and said I’m gonna wait two more weeks and this is gonna be my new year’s resolution.
Now on January 2ndof 2020, I went for the first time to the red mountain weight loss office near my house, and luckily they had an open appointment.
So I went I’ve been wanting to do this program for a long time but it’s very expensive for me I’m not a wealthy person the program they have different ones,
The one that I was on it was $600 the first month 500 the second month and I’m gonna explain why so anyways I went there on January second,
And I have all my paperwork here I have this receipt right here where it says my body fat mass 26.6,
My predicted weight is 135 pounds I started at a hunt 160 pounds now this is all my paperwork here and basically, the first appointment is $500 It includes you seeing the doctor.
Laughswork and there are m3 pills there aren’t three pills are the pills that tackle all this fact that we’ve been holding for you know years,
And years and I’m gonna show you the peel I should have finished this by now but I’ve been working so much that I forget to take two of it twice a day.
So it’s every 12hours you put one under your tongue so I’m going to show you the pills it’s these pills right here the rm3,
So let me see the camera can focus so this is a there-entry pill and basically you but I haven’t taken it today,
So I should take it but you put it under your tongue and you just let it you know basically there for like 15 minutes you can swallow it okay,
So just leave it there for 15 minutes and then the crucial part of my journey was these pills right here now these this is optional this is an appetite suppressant,
Okay, these pills are and there are different ones there are $75 and I’ll show you this is one every day I’ll show you so these are the appetite suppressant pills.
I gotta take it actually I usually take it as soon as I wake up in the morning but for example today I gotta work at five in the morning when I sleep,
And then I go back to work at 9:00 p.m. tonight so what Ido they left like 9 or 10 hours that you don’t get hungry so I take it probably I’ll probably take it like a 6 6 p.m.today,
And with my RM 3 now again these are m3 are supposed to be twice a day I’ve been forgetting and I’ve been only taking it once a day.
Ok so my biggest problem was my anxiety my I was just hungry all the time and I would eat 3 to4,000 calories a day.
We would go out to eat almost every day we are too busy to cook and whenever we cook you know the food really goes to waste.
So we go out to eat and I’ll give you guys an example because I don’t want to make this video that long um so let’s see there’s this one time that we went to dinner,
This Italian restaurant is one of my it was one of our favorites and I was full I was so full that I can not even get a dessert order a dessert,
So I come home and I sit with a box of cocoa pebbles which is my favorite cereal and of course, I ate three big bowls of cereal and my girlfriend goes are you hungry,
Where are you just anxious I said well I’m clearly not hungry I guess and I’m anxious but I don’t know I will just eat and eat and eat every single day.
So I just I felt I’m not gonna say depressed cuz the press is up you know it’s a big word but my clothes didn’t Fit my uniforms didn’t fit you know,
I still have kind of does the double chin but it was way bigger and my face was very very very round my belly I Manila’s,
I just felt gross to be on it I felt this gusting so I said you know what I’m gonna spend the money he has very good reviews and I’m gonna try it so long story short,
I started the I went to the appointment on January 2nd but when you order the pills you get the pills either the next day or two days after.
So I got mypillsJanuary 4th okay so January 4th I officially started the Red Mountain weight-loss program the first week,
And of course in this pamphlet well they give you something like let me see what it is so they give you this little book and basically it tells you what you can,
And what you cannot eat so basically I’ll show you guys approved foods if it’s not here the answer is no period don’t stress about it Can I eat blah blah blah,
If it’s not here the answer is no and then approve extra right here while you can eat you can not eat so anyways the first week I was so excited.
I was super straight I went grocery shopping and I bought a scale I did the first week when I tell you I was strict I lost eight point eight pounds the first week,
Eight point eight pounds forme that was so that was a motivation to keep going now the second week I Wasnt that strict but I still was like for example,
If I wanted a little bit of soda I drank a level I’m not supposed to if you follow this diet to the tea with the pills and everything you will lose weight immediately,
Now a lot of people want to be negative and they’re like well you’re gonna gain a bag blah blah blah well I haven’t gained it back and actually to make the long story,
Short today is March 6 2022 and I lost a total of 22 pounds so this morning I lost I’m down to 138 but now that’s the motivation I want to go down to 130 or128,
That’s one time years ago in 2011 I was 128 and I feel good you know it was not too skinny but I really felt good about it and the reason I started this that really gave me the push,
To start this program is because a year before I got I get blood work every year just to make sure everything is okay and I was pre-diabetic,
And my cholesterol was high and I know it was because I was eating like crap so anyways this program worked for me miracles okay,
And what really so then this second doctor’s appointment so the February doctor’s appointment I got you to get a refill of both of your pills again,
This is optional but this is I really need this one because this is the appetizer press and I do not get the anxiety that I used to feel like oh I’m hungry and then you eat with your eyes,
You want everything but this pill makes you very very thirsty so make sure you drink a lot of water I’m not a big water drinker but this pill makes you so thirsty,
You know you’ve been forced to drink water so anyways in two months I lost a total of 22 pounds let’s see my third week I think it was my third week or fourth week,
I don’t remember I was I hit a plateau and I was a hundred and forty-two pounds forever for like two weeks and I didn’t gain but I didn’t lose,
And I wasn’t I’m not eating even a third of the amount of food that I used to eat but I was eating as if I was craving a little bit of frozen yogurt,
I will get just a little bit just to kill that crazy if I was craving chocolate I would eat a little piece of chocolate not a lot of chocolate like I used to do everything in moderation,
Now, this diet is strictly no dairy no carbs no sugar now before I used to drink a gallon of milk every two or three days like that, and sugar I mean this is very hard to give up,
Sugar my first three days starting on this diet it was massive headaches you get angry you know anxiety onto the pills kick in but now,
For example, there’s been a few days that’s why I have so many pills left did one I only have two but a few days I forgot to take my pills and I was getting that anxiety,
But now you have to learn how to control it with your mind I learned that as humans we don’t need piles and piles of food to survive,
You know we only just eat a little you know a little bit and that’s it but now I don’t want I know how to control myself,
Now I don’t want to be for the rest of my life I mean I love pizza I love milk I’ll so for the rest of my life I don’t want to be like I I’m not gonna drink milk anymore,
Or eat pizza anymore No so and I’ll give you another example last year in the Super Bowl My girlfriend was working and I was you know,
I got off work and I have the afternoon off and I say well why not order pizza I order a medium-sized pizza from PapaJohn’s Queen no the dog,
And then I order breadsticks I swear to GodI ate the whole pizza by myself and I like two or three breadsticks I didna have to eat a whole pizza,
I didn’t have to eat like not even one breadstick and then I order a coke I was I couldn’t even breathe because I was eating so fast when you eat fast in like five or ten minutes,
Your food settles in like 20minutes so I was eating and I’m like man I’m just I’m hungry so when my food settled I couldn’t breathe,
I couldn’t even move I felt like I wanted to throw up I couldn’t even watch the Super Bowl It was a nightmare and I said wow that’s crazy so,
For example and honestly, since I started the diet I haven’t had a piece of pizza but if I want to eat pizza I will eat pizza probably either half a slice or one slice with water,
And sometimes when I crave a coke I will drink a cold maybe once a week I’ll have I’m not a big soda drinker, to be honest, I do enough milk but sometimes Ido create a coke,
So I will drink a coke I don’t want to deprive myself of eating things that I really want to eat and yeah I read good and bad reviews and honestly,
And I met this lady that she lost 120 pounds in like nine months and she said this is expensive but it’s the best investment that you will make now,
This is not a paid sponsorship I just needed to get this out there because it worked for me and being 22 so today officially 22 pounds lighter,
And I honestly think I said wow that’s it huge jumpstart in two months but I want to lose more I’m motivated now I don’t want to stop and I’m not a big fan of exercising,
And with this program, because you know when you’re on the program, especially the first two or three weeks you’re on a calorie deficit you cannot exercise heavily,
You are only allowed to do yoga and slow walk now if you do weight if you do anything extreme and you pass out that’s on you but yeah so right now I’m not a big breakfast eater,
So I get up and something honestly I don’t even have time to eat breakfast so I really skip a skip breakfast and a lot of people tell you well you’re not supposed to skip breakfast,
It’s the more important meal of the day bla bla bla but different things work for different people so I’m drinking more water now,
And I don’t force myself to drink water if I’m not thirsty I will not drink water I mean your body will tell you you know if you get thirst in your body,
But I cannot walk around with a gallon of water forcing myself to drink water I can’t do it so yeah I’m not gonna go I’m not only doing two months,
I’m not gonna do the third month because it’s very expensive and plus I think these two months have really helped me control myself it’s a lot mentally don’t,
Let that anxiety of oh I’m hungry I’m starting to like get the best of you and you just mess it up again and I’m not a big fan of eating a lot of fruit,
And with this program, you’re only allowed to eat I think berries blueberries blackberries raspberries think strawberries,
Because other fruits have so much sugar even though it’s natural sugar it’s still sugar so yeah I’m hoping from here – probably May or June to go down to 130,
And yeah this program long story short work excellent for me and if you follow it to the tea you will succeed now I forgot to mention every week every Thursday,
I used to focus you get a fat-burning shot and I think I missed also I just I’ve been working a lot so I think I missed on Thursday,
But yeah you go whatever day you decide and you do this program if you are if you don’t have time or you are you work too much or you really need something,
Immediately to help you lose weight I live in Arizona and I know this program I think it’s in I know it’s in Arizona in Arizona obviously New Mexico,
I think and somewhere else I’m not sure but I’m just blown away because by myself I will never be able to lose 22pounds in two months,
And I am confident I’m gonna I’m not gonna gain weight because again I am not eating even I forgot I’m not even eating a third of what I used to eat,
I don’t starve I don’t need that much food and yeah so if you have done theRed Mountain weight-loss program I would love to hear from you.
What the results were I did not take a picture before they did take a picture at the office but it was really with my face,
And I had clothes on but to be honest, I was so self-conscious I felt so gross that I didn’t even want to take pictures before or after so yeah,
But I want to oops I want to keep losing more weight and I’m gonna hope to and try to get down to between 128 and 130.
So if I can do it which I was overweight forever I know you can do it too so let me know in the comments if what has worked for you or,
If you have done this program specifically because a lot of people like eight out of ten people that I met in the office great result,
And again I’m not getting paid for this I just needed to put it out there you know so maybe if you are someone that is Reading,
And you just need that push to do this program I mean do it because it really works but follow the diet to the tee okay followed I exit.

We are all going to ride onto the capital of LA and in this format and we all have the bike and it's all hard knock kicker 5150 and we all believe in what he's saying and you guys are kind of lame instead of bothering us and douchebags took a plan and you flushed it as you do all right considering those stupid you are and we're going to arrive and of course and all these bikes are going to become famous and everyone's going to demand them I'm going to have to offer the hand of God and hand of Goddess for each version and there's a whole bunch thousands. The Violator and Demigoddess Wife will introduce this earlier today I don't think it's him
Thor Freya
Sales are through the roof I have it on the monitor that they can't keep them in the shop it's hard not kicker bikes and everyone is modifying it to look like yours and QE has so many calls and she doesn't know what to do with them she calls up China it says he's been getting him batteries won't you get me parts tonight and he says sure it means invasion and I said where is this first you said the British and now you're sending parts invasions no we come along with the parts how can you fit on those little boxes so start laughing cuz that's what she says and he goes oh no I've been trained by a woman and I laugh because I Hera her and I hear Olympus will say stuff now qe
It's my statement and I'm saying this so get those parts to me now I got tons of bikes to make we're going to hire everybody. And Sebastian is switching over his plant and she's sending parts to him and their retro fitting in the building new ones there's just tons of them and they're all coming out now it's a huge pile they're all demanding it and just saying that he can't have one because it says that he is God and they're all saying it out loud and it's a huge protest going on and then huge numbers of them go up and by the bike so they're using it they say and what we say is he's going to have one and then you're going to say that you're him otherwise it kind of kind of s***** Thor says. We agreed to there's no transition there so it's trying to figure out something anyway you got to make this hand of God bike because if you make tons of them and they buy tons of them then I'll be on it and then go after each other it becomes a lot bigger than I'm making it sound so we need to make some plants on some Island somewhere maybe do cuz he's not really shutting along very well so make the whole island this kicker 5150 and say it's for all those poor n****** all this particular model and of course yours so start doing it and I said I'm making yours here yes and there is right and you're in my particular model Gu says and my Goddess Wife's version right he says. So I got it right away and I built tons it would take them over the whole island putting all your factories there and building this bike. Huge numbers of orders just so massive I can't feel him and we have the biggest factories on Earth back to the Madagascar and Japan is now doing it and they've been doing it and they can't fill the orders there's so many orders that is just mind-boggling so we're making tons and tons of frames and huge numbers of them and he says to make a monster frame making company at the at the mine so he did that it's easy to fit cuz all the frames the same and other parts too that are still and we said this so it is damn bikes you better be assigning people and we are you just might have someone it's a huge number of people who want the bike back huge it's just a gigantic force that we're building and this number of Hand of God bikes is exceeded anything we've ever anticipated. It's so huge cuz I recognize the technique and that they don't understand anything now and he expects everything out of them so it even looks like I'm doing it and they're going crazy because I think it's impressively it says it's not and it doesn't have to be him personally and it actually doesn't have to be occasion and then some people know that so it's on I say the sales numbers are so huge we can't mention them
Gu and Goddess Wife
He sounds so many of this bike I got to wish him luck cuz it's so crazy but then he says I should probably be able to get a fitty out of it and people say yes because they want to be here they don't want to be this guy sitting around that doesn't have one and that will boost sales to the maximum and we've got several plants right at mines and they're right at your minds and we're building the frames and other steel parts right there costume the faster we send them out to work bikes get made so we're wondering how big of an operation it should be and we're asking our people and it should be huge because they're all interested in it and having his bike this is going to be like Saddam Hussein without the war so dumb so dumb you saying hello Saddam but it came out so dumb there's huge numbers huge it's it's way past the sales of any motorcycle company and all of them combined for this year including hard knock and Sim it says he should get his own company and he said no and he knows it's not possible but he's going to wipe out the competition and John C Riley's angry because it's based on the model that he rides it's not the same though and he says have you stolen everything yet why am I getting tired of this you haven't the devil going to have him up so we can take over Scotland and Iraq.
Of course he's requesting we make approve a beer and a whiskey and call it the devil's own whiskey and the devils beer and my name is Lilith by the way she says and she's making it hers right now as he requested she's still a little miffed I just came out with a title he's doing it again fighting a little bit not much if they're going to make one with both of them on it this is what they call it she's going to name it it's already huge and it's out in the stores he says he's going to present it over and the devil's Tower and it's not in stores yet but it's near them Google searching seek and destroy they want to beat the opening she's over there too at the devil's Tower right on top of it you're going to show me it and they have the bikes tons of people are going huge caravans and yes military ones they have a way out but decided to load the bikes up and it's in there they did a commercial and they tasted and they're asking if people want to come up and taste it and have free drinks and they said yes so doing that and the machines are coming and they're about to head out and they said wait wait you can't go and leave us here I said they're just going to leave if we do they said okay so they're waiting a few minutes to see what happens all sudden one of them started firing the firing on the crowd and we stopped it it's corky it started hitting him and actually we wiped them out this is approaching carefully I said well corky wants to just destroy him and he go up and say well you know it's time to get rid of that little b**** corky he's had it you know what he's saying so we're leaving and we hear the people the same don't leave us here and said it's time for you guys to vacate the premises as well so they're going down and they're leaving and say okay it wasn't that bad and they leave and nothing happened to him suddenly we get this screw you she ran into the line of trucks and stuff and we said well it seems to be Max so what am I and they're just humans and they said we got to drink it first and that's why I don't know what it is so if you came over there drinking together and we left a huge bunch of it up there this big huge cast of it and then caravan is pulling up and they're all going upstairs drinking it and we're delivering beer also they start laughing cork is a party pooper yeah certainly is. I have my own brand Liluth's Brew and there's a whiskey and there's a beer and a silly huge almost more than his almost and it's up and there's tons of sails and it's going out the door and it has a guy eventual one on his on the whiskey and the beer and eventually what looks like it's even more so on the whiskey but looks like himself on the pier there's all sorts of contests for the Hand of God bike in the Hand of Goddess online
Hera Zues
We just got done explaining that we have our own versions and we were up there too and that's who they let go and we're clear now if we're out and they know why we're flipping them off and we have our bikes and we're riding away and yes Pee-wee Herman was out there yesterday
Thor Freya
It's really my vehicle but he helped make it the way it is even the version of mine is telling me what to put there and tell me what to put on it how to do it I'm really getting pissed cuz I don't get any money from all this stuff and it's a three ring circles just barely made it out of there live up to upstate New York a bunch of fools fighting with some s***** buildings I started laughing about myself and I was leaving vrying a little it says that would be great footage for a movie I started laughing because it is my God what a stupid thing just as Mac was about a stupid movie about the teamsters and everyone's trying to wonder what they're doing stupid crap and New York is gone by the way all states pretty much going and they're moving that Old Town we're in now they're taking the rest of the place pretty soon Virginia will be gone I wonder if it's a good idea or not
John C Reilly says and he's been a huge pain in the ass threading ever since you get off Island about 2 weeks ago and he's been driving this hard knock kicker thing for us and he doesn't want him in a bike but it seems that he's finally gone too far and people say it's John C Riley version really Randall text calm but don't feel motivated because Randall is not around so now I guess what he has to do and the two big ones see it it's going to try and compete with him instead of flying and pissed and have him do the job for himself
Thor Freya
He's making some funny noises that's turning their faces sour and we like it because her big huge ninnies

Criminal Minds s03e05 Seven Seconds review - or more aptly named, the episode where I realize that my poodle knows his video games and that Nemo can actually grow up, and I’m so not okay with that.
Episode 05 – Seven Seconds
Hey y’all! So it’s Friday morning here for me, I’m super stoked because I’m fucking going to buy my first single-serve Nespresso espresso machine. Well, it’s not literally my first, but it’s the first one I’m going to purchase, for myself, so I’m stoked.
Alright, so this episode’s name is seriously cryptic. And I don’t like it. I really don’t. Seven seconds? Are they confused and meant ‘seven minutes’ like ‘seven minutes in heaven’? Meaning we finally get to see Derek and Penelope make out? No? DAMN. Well, you can’t blame a girl for hoping.
All right, let’s see what happens.
Yay!!!!! Kid birthday party! Oh shit, wait, this is Criminal Minds, why?
Oh god. Is a kid lost in the mall? Fuck. the poor lady.
Oh god. This is just awful. A girl was fucking abducted in the mall. Oh lord.
Wait. A girl was missing last week from the mall? Fuck. Oh god, now the mother is thinking about that girl and how that one was murdered. Oh boy.
Yay. Superhero team!
117 stores in one mall? Fuck, that’s a lot! Wait, it’s America. Never mind.
“You want every inch of surveillance footage?” “Yes. Because I need to examine it frame-by-frame to see if there’s anything in the background you guys missed. I also need a joystick controller, video transmitters, a coax cable, and a programmable park. And I don’t mean that hypothetically.”
My goddess is on the job.
“Yeah, what do you got?”
“Well, can’t you get a better angle?” “Sugar, I’m not London here.”
“Believe me when I tell you the 1980’s just called. They want their security system back.” Ooh, tech burn!
“Aw, you are breaking my heart, baby girl.” HEY! Hey! I am rooting for you like crazy here, Derek, but Baby Girl is doing her best. Don’t go blaming this on her.
NO! Bad puppy.
Fyodor Dostoyevsky: “Nothing is easier than denouncing the evildoer. Nothing more difficult than understanding him.” Well, I guess that is true. Damn. Russian genius right there.
Fuck. the kid has asthma. Oh my goodness gracious.
Hold up. Is that Nemo? Cuz I saw the name Alexander Gould. Oh man! That’s Nemo! Yay!!!! Wait. But he’s not lost. His cousin is. Oh this is messing up my head.
I really don’t like Nemo’s dad. He’s seriously being a bitch. Why blame your son? He’s a kid! He gets immersed in videogames. That’s natural.
Aww, Spencer and Derek trying to talk to Nemo is the cutest! I love those two so much.
Oh shit. Did Nemo just have a panic attack? Damn.
Oh god. They need to give up the only thing of Katie’s so the dogs can find her. Then they have to talk over the PA system about Katie. The poor mother.
Oh god. This is heartbreaking.
Oh my Penelope is amazing, she just said the word ‘Criminy’. I love her so much.
“I once followed Todd Cortel the entire length of Silver Beach because he had a kite.” Oh, honey. I love you so much.
And yeah, Katie was probably lured out of the arcade. Damn.
Oh my god, poodle just corrected Derek on a name of a videogame. I can’t get over it.
Aww, those two cuties trying to make Nemo comfortable enough to talk to them about the entire thing. Oh lord. I love them.
And now they’re trying to retrace his steps from the moment he stepped into the arcade. My two genius boys.
“What are they doing to my son?” Seriously? They’re trying to find your niece. You look remarkably calm for that.
Aww, Nemo wasn’t focused on his cousin because he experienced his first crush on a hot girl who was literally, and so obviously, making fun of him for being a jerk to Katie and beign a boy. Lol. Little punk.
Oh honey, a girl walks up to you and you offer her to play a Dead or Alive game? Where you shoot peoples’ faces off? So not hot.
Oh snap. Katie had a necklace. 24-karat gold and with real rhinestones? Yeah right, she found it in the schoolyard. Someone sick gave it to her.
Someone ripped the necklace off Katie’s neck? The kidnapping was personal. Someone who knew Katie. Shit.
So Derek and my poodle are going to search the house to see what’s up there. Awesome.
“Norman Rockwell couldn’t have painted it any cozier.” Um – someone please tell me who Norman Rockwell is, cuz for the first time I don’t get Reid’s reference and it’s bugging the shit out of me. Because it worries my chocolate god and I don’t like it.
The dad is hiding something. Or … oh my goodness fucking gracious.
NO! Don’t tell me that he …
“I taught my daughter well” – why wouldn’t he include his wife in his daughter’s education? Oh god, my mind is reeling over here.
I’m with Derek, Katie is six, it’s fine that she’s wetting the bed. Don’t read into it, Reid.
That is one messed up doll. What is Katie hiding?
Hotchner needs Morgan on this. I need Morgan on this. Fuck. I think it’s the uncle. Shit.
Aw, my poodle is the one interrogating Nemo. Awesome.
“So you’re becoming a man.” Aw, my poodle is talking about growing up. But you’re still so young, pretty boy. You’re so cute.
“Why are you asking me all these questions?” “Why are you avoiding them?’ DAMN, poodle. You’re good.
Wait. Hold up. He has a son and he can’t name his son’s friends? What the fuck is wrong with you, man?
Nemo stole earrings for a girl he liked? That doesn’t sound like Nemo.
Wait. He doesn’t even know his son’s crush’s name? What the fuck is wrong with you, you fucking bastard?
God of Chocolate Thunder, I am so in love with you and your pretty brain right now. Yup. The wife was like, oh so you’re questioning my son and my husband? Okay. Just let us know what’s up.
SERIOUSLY?
You are one sick bitch if you think that. Because if I had a husband and a son, I would be worried sick about them being pulled in for interrogation, that is, if I were innocent and thought the FBI profiled them as guilty.
So, bitch, either you’re guilty, or you’re fucked up in the head.
Oh my poodle is so intuitive, I love you, poodle.
Ha! The fucker just confessed. Sick asshole molested his fucking niece. You asshat. Why would you do that to a six-year-old? I mean, fine, you molested your niece, but she’s six! You are one sick asshole.
Fine, you didn’t abduct her, but you’re going down.
Wait. Hold up. So he quit over a month ago, and yet his wife was ‘waiting to have a lighter engraved for him for his birthday’? Oh crap. It was the aunt.
SHIT!
You sick lady. I knew it! Emily, you smart cookie.
Wait. So they’ve been separated for over a month? Oh god. Oh god, that woman is one sick bitch.
Please find Katie.
Oh Emily, I like it when you get feisty. Rawr. I just fell in love with Paget, fuck. Why is this show making me question my sexuality all over again? What the fuck is wrong with you that you’re doing this to human beings??? I mean, I love you guys, but I’m definitely getting aroused by the women in this ensemble.
Fuck.
Can I just say? I just realized that Shemar is seriously a method actor. Before this, when they ran into the storage whatnot, he was literally running like in an army drill, like he had background in drilling and stuff. Amazing.
Oh thank god, they got Katie.
Wait. Hold up. She’s asthmatic, and they ductaped her mouth? Fuck, that lady is nuts.
Oh god, Derek holding the baggie of fluids, and Hotchner trying to revive Katie, shit. This is too much for me.
Oh thank god, she’s okay. Fuck. thank goodness.
I love you Hotch, I love you for not giving up on her.
Go to hell, aunt and uncle, you two are sick assholes.
Oh god, so he did remember Katie calling out his mom’s name, but he didn’t want to say anything because it’s his damn mother. I love you Derek, for being so understanding. You’re amazing.
Aw, Hotch has to come over to his wife’s sister’s to see his son? Hayley, you’re a bitch. He basically did half the active work in creating Jack. He should deserve some rights.
And Hotch’s head poking inside the door to his son’s room is the cutest ever.
G.K. Chesterton: “Fairy tales do not tell children that dragons exist. Children already know that dragons exist. Fairy tales tell children that dragons can be killed.” Oh god, that Chesterton was fucked in the head.
So to sum up this episode, I can’t believe the aunt fucking abducted her niece because her husband was molesting the kid and she felt jealous. Oh my fucking god, people are so messed up in the head. Oh my god, Nemo as a teenager!!!!!!! I can’t quite get over the fact that actors actually grow up even though they are forever immortalized on screens as characters in a specific movie or TV show. Though with TV series it’s easier for me, since you see them evolve. But it’s still uber weird for me to see Nemo talking about girls. Hahahaha.
Really loved the Reid/Morgan dynamic in this episode, was seriously depressed there wasn’t really any funny moments, though I guess it was overshadowed by the seriousness of the case, and I guess I can pardon them for it.
Overall, amazing! I loved every minute, and was so glad that Katie wasn’t dead.
This one is kinda short, cuz I didn’t really know what to do with this episode, review-wise. But I’ll still see you guys for episode 6, sipping my Linizio Lungo coffee and munching on blueberries that I still cannot believe I’ve purchased in fucking Israel. (Berries are a rarity here, in this country all fruit are seasonal, unlike the US where you get whatever you want at all times, fuck I want to live there if only to enjoy whatever fruit I want all year-round. That’s why the vegans are so well-adjusted there)
I bid you adieu till we meet again, my fair followers, לן

Please Enjoy: This Back & Forth Between Two Women Who Shaped The Sounds Of Capcom
Here we have an absolutely wonderful peek behind the music, featuring Manami Matsumae, who composed the soundtrack to Mega Man 1 (among other things), and Yoko Shimomura, who composed the soundtrack to Street Fighter 2 (again, among other things).
Both Matsumae and Shimomura are unquestionably two of the most important women in the annals of game music. So to see them casually chitchat about the good ol’ days at Capcom is a rare (plus genuine) treat.
The above is also from Red Bull Music Academy, an extra dose of their Diggin' In The Carts series, which I discussed previously and which I cannot recommend enough for anyone even remotely interested in the subject of game history, primarily its connection to Japan.
I was lucky enough to witness Matsumae perform live, as the special guest of the third (and final) Fangamer+Attract Mode shindig, several PAXs ago. And as of last Saturday, I can finally say that I’ve also been lucky enough to witness Shimomura perform in the flesh as well.
This past weekend was the New York stop of the Kingdom Hearts Orchestra World Tour. I gladly accepted the invitation to attend, given my fondness for video game music as a whole, especially when it’s performed by an orchestra. Never mind my near total lack of familiarity with the source material. Hence why I made arrangements to have my girlfriend, who is in fact a Kingdom Hearts expert, accompany me.
Right off the back, it was rather novel that the performance took place at the United Palace Theatre, just a few blocks away from my apartment in Washington Heights. The trendy ramen joint that opened around the corner has long been my favorite example as to how gentrified this part of Manhattan has become in recent years, but now I may have a new one to point towards.
Let’s start with the good: the music itself was amazing. Believe it or not, going in, I had absolutely no idea that Shimomura was the primary architect of the franchise’s sound (I only really knew of her work on Street Fighter 2, Super Mario RPG, and Final Fantasy 15). Also, the live orchestra did a phenomenal job with the compositions. Though I did find it peculiar how, practically after each song, everyone would stand up to soak in applause.
Then again, the audience was more than happy to supply; much like all the other times I’ve been to an orchestral performance of game music, it was clear that for many it was their first time to such a thing. Hence why hardly anyone was used to the conduct that’s normally employed at such a formal setting. Also, they all worse their Sunday best Kingdom Hearts t-shirts.
Various songs from various installments were performed, though I can’t remember what from what. Sorry, I wish I had a program to refer to, but they were charging a ridiculous amount for such a keepsake (the gal pal noted that even Hamilton wasn’t charing as much). Alongside the program was the official CD, a t shirt, and conductor’s baton fashioned into a keyblade. Cute.
There was nothing bad per say, certain elements of the show were simply inconsistent, primarily the visuals that accompanied each piece. Things kicked off with a super slick, PS4-grade opener, which was to be expected. Next was a song set to footage of real life nature scenes in Japan, which myself and my girlfriend absolutely adored. But that was it; afterwards was simply gameplay footage or cinematics from the PS2 originals, uprezzed from the PS3 or PS4 re-releases I’m assuming.
When I first heard about Kingdom Hearts, way back in the day, the very idea of something that merged Final Fantasy and Disney characters seemed beyond inviting. Yet it wasn’t long before I was confused by the execution, which was literally on display throughout the concert. I still don’t understand why certain Disney franchises are constantly revisited, game after game, while others remain untouched. If Hercules and company can appear in nine different titles, surely the friendly folks in The Black Hole came be in just one?
Though I would eventually come to realize that lead character who I had assumed to be Sora was actually someone else. I turned to my girlfriend for insight, but cuz she only played the main entries on the PS2 and none of the spin offs on the handhelds, we both had a hard time figuring out who the hell was who. Again, the music plus its performers were stars of the show, so when I grew tired of watching the same cut scenes of characters eating blue popsicles again and again, I instead focused on the orchestra and ignored the game graphics.
Before I go any further, get a load of this: apparently the frozen treat in the game is based upon something they serve at Tokyo Disneyland, sea salt ice cream. Kingdom Hearts creator Tetsuya Nomura had a taste and fell so in love that he had to have it in his video game. But again, what he had was ice cream and what you see in the game are popsicles. Apparently ice cream was difficult to animate or whatever, hence the change. LOL.
It was also around this time in which I was reminded of a more recent observation of the franchise, based upon the aforementioned spin offs: where the hell were the Disney characters?!? There came a point in which I gladly would have welcomed Hercules back with open arms, instead of generic animu dorks stuffing their faces with blue popsicles (that‘s supposed to be ice cream).
Near the end, Shimomura, who had previously said a quick hello, sat down at he piano to perform the last few songs.to perform the last few songs. Including the end credits, from not just the games but to the concert itself. Not much else to say here, other than the real treat was witnessing her doing what she does best, which is make music no one else quite can. I will admit, I did hope for an encore, of just Shimomura playing her greatest hits (I REALLY wanted to hear her do “Beware the Forest's Mushrooms”), though given the focus of the evening…
Actually, there was no encore period, which was fine, because the show itself was rather long plus the United Palace Theatre’s air condition was non-existent. Meaning, the usually disheveled and sweaty Sora cosplayers seemed especially so. Anyhow, an overall superb evening of music! The next stop for the Kingdom Hearts Orchestra World Tour is… Osaka? It’s the last performance apparently? Plus it’s already sold out? So, I guess grab the CD if you get the chance.
Oh, and I also finally got to ask a Kingdom Hearts expert what the keyblade unlocks. Apparently it just shoots lasers and stuff and you don’t stick it a doorknob or car engine. Lame.
Don’t forget: Attract Mode is now on Medium! There you can subscribe to keep up to date, as well as enjoy some “best of” content you might have missed the first time around, plus be spared of the technical issues that’s starting to overtake Tumblr.

[Fan Account] 20170401 - BTS WINGS Tour in Anaheim, CA
So you guys may or may not know but I was in Anaheim last night to see Bangtan. If you'd like to find out about my experience, just keep on reading!
So my day started very early on Saturday morning. I woke up around 7AM. Since this past week was my spring break, I was accustomed to waking up at 1PM and going to bed at 4AM, so needless to say, I had trouble both falling asleep and waking up in the morning. I caught a bus from outside my dorm around 9:30AM and rode it for about an hour and a half up to Oceanside. From there, I took the train around 12PM to Anaheim and I got there around 1:30PM. Fast forward past some details no one probably cares about, I came back to the Honda center (it's right across the street from Anaheim station) around 3:30PM. Since I had an assigned seat, I didn't have to worry about lining up or anything. By that time, most of the merch was gone though, so I didn't get anything ;A; I guess it's a good that 'cause that stuff is really expensive. Anyway, after hours of sitting on the curb and waiting in line, I got in around 7PM. I was in section 204 so once I was inside, I went straight through the doors into the actual stadium. Since I was in row P, my view was a little further away but I was not complaining one bit. When I sat down, a lady gave us an orange and green bag to cover lightsticks for specific songs but I didn't get to use them since I didn't buy a lightstick. For the next hour or so, they were playing Bangtan MVs on the monitors, and y'all. Why y'all got scream... at a MV? I was amused but I expected it since at SMTOWN way back in 2011, I was one of those people who screamed at the videos playing before the show (and was judged by my dad). Anyway I was sitting there amused at the audience but also watching the screen (and screaming at Jas AKA @jeons-jalebi via text and snap). As I was sitting there, watching, it hit me and I was trembling in both nervousness and excitement, which didn't subside until deep into the actual performance. I noticed the MVs were somewhat being played in chronological order but after Spring Day, I was ready for Not Today... the MV... that's not what I got. The lights cut and the intro VCR started playing. Everyone got to their feet, screaming and waving their lightsticks. I was no exception this time (minus the lightstick, obviously). Guess what they performed first. Yup, that's right, Not Today. The rose up from the back portion of the stage and it felt like my heart stopped for a moment. Yes, I video taped it but I did NOT for one moment actually look at what I was filming cuz I wanted to focus on it with my actual eyes. Even though I held my phone very close to my chest, the footage is very shaky. Yes, it's because my body was still trembling uncontrollably. I don't think I need to tell you guys how they perform because I'm sure most of you are under the impression that they're great performers, and you'd be absolutely correct. I think after was the first ment (I say I think because I don't remember how many there were or when they happened). Everyone screamed their asses off as expected and they all introduced themselves in English and all that jazz. I was expecting this but I was not prepared. Goddamn Min YOONGI (that autocorrected to all caps and obviously, I have made zero attempt to change it) did the thing where he takes his earpiece out, closes his eyes and cups his ear. Naturally, I screamed at the top of my lungs, as did others (except the girl next to me; she was texting during half the concert lol). After that they performed Am I Wrong, 뱁새, and (I think) BS&T. I'm not sure the order but I'm pretty sure BS&T was in that mix because I know they performed it around the beginning but I don't quite remember when (I jotted the setlist during the breaks, but I had forgotten by then... I guess I was just that stunned). Yo... those motherfucking hip thrusts in 뱁새... I couldn't breathe, holy shit. Honestly, no amount of preparation can prepare you to see them and I learned that many times in the course of two and a half hours. So far, the award of hype goes to Not Today and 뱁새, which is saying something because usually I'm very reserved in public and I was by myself too. After a break, Begin started and I knew there was going to be choreography for it since Jas told me . I thought I could prepare myself for it… but I was not prepared at all. Begin is one of my favorite tracks and pairing it with dancing ruined me. I was on the verge of tears. And then Lie is performed, and in that moment, it was all over. The choreography was absolutely amazing. It was sensual and well put together. Even though it was Jimin paired with sexy dancing, that style of dancing appeals to me anyway so I was just immersed. It felt a little bit theatrical too, and the red lighting was also appealing to my aesthetic. Anyone who knows me knows much I love the color red (just like Jungkook, heh). Right after, the universe decided it was going to seal the package of that round of performances with my bias. Yes, that’s right, the first round of solos was my bias list, ending off with my ultimate. Yoongi started by sitting in the middle in front of a piano and there were two strings players sitting at each side. I could hear the emotion in his voice, honestly. He kept walking closer, down the stage and delivered the verses with closed eyes. At this point, I was just watching and crying (literally). In that moment, I all of a sudden felt so thankful that I was standing there, able to see him (and them) perform in person. I’m from Florida, so needless to say, they’ve never come anywhere near my hometown. I don’t remember which ment this was in but since I mentioned that I don’t remember which ment went where and what happened in each specific one except the beginning and end one, I’ll insert this story here. So Hoseok was going to each side, getting them/us to scream. Of course the left side would still scream when he went to the right side and vice versa, but that’s beyond the point. Yoongi, after Hoseok finished both sides, growled, and I mean GROWLED like a tiger when he said, “LOUDER!” Usually the speakers in a large concert made the pitch higher, but when Yoongi growled, his voice was the deepest I had heard from him. It sent shivers down my spine (and still does at this very moment as I think back to it) and everyone went absolutely crazy. I am no exception. Every time Yoongi prompted us to be louder, lowkey highkey, I put more effort for obvious reasons. The next set of performances were in the front part of the stage, so I got a better view of it. The vocal line started with Lost. I was really impressed by how much they’ve improved their vocals. There a lot more stable now. Lost isn’t one of my favorites but I enjoyed it (as I enjoyed the performance for every song that isn’t that high up for me). Oh, I’d like to mention that by then, I’m pretty sure my body’s trembling had subsided. I think it stopped when there was a break. After Lost was Save Me, and I Need U. The choreography for Save Me was… I can’t even describe. Obviously I’m familiar with it, but seeing it in person was so good. I could definitely tell I Need U was a favorite for many because it got even louder somehow (if you didn’t know, I tend to vibe more with the tracks that are more hip-hop infused). The next set of performances were solos again and it started with Reflection. Namjoon is one of those people whom I’ve grown to admire a lot in the past four years and seeing him perform was a reiteration of that. There’s just something about the way his voice fills the stadium… that or I’m crazy. After that was Stigma, and guys, we need to talk about Taehyung’s voice. I was so accustomed to his deep singing voice. Yes, I was aware of the high notes in Stigma, but hearing it live? This probably doesn’t mean much since I was shook to the core the whole time, but I was S H O O K. Hoseok performed Mama after, and I must say, I have a newfound love for him. The choreography was very jazzy and lively, and his smile just gave me energy. That whole performance was like a vitamin. Also I had a hard time keeping my eyes on him ‘cause the main monitor behind him and a slideshow of his baby photos and babies are my weakness. After Hobi, Jin performed, and again, so impressed with those vocals. The next set of performances… this is when shit got very real for me, and this is why: the fucking CYPHER happened. Yo, I mentioned that it’s hard to hype me that much if I’m solo and in public, but you better believe I was vibing hardcore with that shit. My mannerisms were like Yoongi’s. I was too into it to notice but when I looked back at the little snapchat video I took of the beginning of his verse, I noticed we’re similar. I also do some of the dance moves Hoseok was doing (and I’m sure some of you know the origin those dances). I’m dancing while sitting at my desk typing this up, that’s how much that performance hyped me. Right after was Fire, and of course the hype did not subside (for most people, Fire is a hype song but not my favorite - dear Lord, how many times am I going to say a variation of “hype”). They had us cover our lightsticks with either a yellow bag or an orange one for it. Following was a medley of throwbacks starting from N.O. Then they did No More Dream (I was so hyped for the former two), Boy in Luv, Danger, and Run. They only did choreography for Boy in Luv out of the older songs. They did 21st Century Girl, and then it seemed like it’d be over but after lots of screaming, chanting BTS, and changing the bags on the lightsticks to create a rainbow, they came back on, starting with Hoseok dancing to Intro: Boy Meets Evil (no, he didn’t rap too). They did BS&T again and talked to us more after. Last, they performed Interlude: Wings, 2!3!, and ended with Spring Day. Most people including me didn’t leave until the VERY end, after the ending video played on the monitor and the boys bowed with everyone. As I walked out, I was a little dizzy, still dazed, but also my ears were so blocked and my throat was very hoarse. I didn’t buy merch earlier but I bought a WINGS shirt with the tour dates on the back (which I’m wearing now)... it was $10! People just went around selling them! Jas told me to look out for stuff like that. The concert was about two and a half hours but i didn’t leave until around 11:30PM because I needed an uber to go back to the Airbnb and when I first got out, they were $45, and I was like hell no because it was $14 to get to the Honda Center. I kept refreshing but the price went up to $75. Eventually I got it at $32 though. The amount of people I screamed to about it when I was lying in bed… yeah I still have post concert shock. I came back to the dorm this morning and since Anaheim Station is close to the Honda Center, I got to meet @perpetually-jungshook :’) We didn’t hang for long; I had a crowded as fuck train to catch… but yeah, that’s it. I wanna turn back time, but the moment has passed so I’ll just pray they’ll come back soon.

Top 5 Favorite Gaming Youtube Channels
I get tons of inspiration from the many youtubers out there who put their life on the line every day making dank content on some of my favorite games so that youtube always feels like some weird version of VH1/Discovery Channel in an alternate reality where content for gamerz is made with the same production-values and care as bigger-budget cable programming and for that I am eternally grateful. Here are a handful of the many youtubers whose content on gaming is an invaluable resource.
1. SuperBunnyHop
An early-era gamer youtuber classic. His Metal Gear videos are top notch, and I like the wide breadth of his yearly reviews.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N_-jyF987MQ&t=18s - MGS3 review
2. Dark Pixel Gaming- https://www.youtube.com/user/WarialaskyPlays
Consists of three midwestern bros who are understandably obsessed with a little genre known as the JRPG. The big draw for me here is the series done by one of the three guys who run this channel which focuses on these really well-done, well-researched reviews/analyses of all the Final Fantasy games, starting with the very first one and working through the whole series (he's struggling through 13 at the moment on his patreon and on weekly public discussion-videos in preparation for it).
These guys put a pain-staking amount of work into their videos, and while the channel covers content related to a variety of games, I'm chiefly interested in their coverage of Final Fantasy and other legacy JRPGs like Chrono Trigger and Xenogears. Whereas other youtubers are able to inject humor and whimsy into their videos for better or worse, these guys are all business when it comes to anything that isn't their more casual weekly vlog-cast, and that level of detail and effort can be hard to come by. I also really appreciate their level of fan-interaction on their podcast when it comes to crowd-sourcing for topics and discussion points, as well as in the way they get feedback from fans on certain games as they are writing their own reviews. Check it out if you care about JRPGs, especially the 90s golden age of said genre. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1dtgSqEPkco&t=7s (their review of FF7) 3. Somecallmejohnny- https://www.youtube.com/user/SomecallmeJohnny
The biggest draw for me with this guy are his well-written and long-form reviews of each and every Sonic the Hedgehog game, which is an exhaustive effort given the amount and range in quality with those titles. But he's also good for just about any really big fan-favorite franchise like Mario, Zelda, Kingdom Hearts or Metroid. So he's kind of all over the place but no matter what game or genre he's talking about, he exerts the same level of effort and he seems like a generally well-meaning, well-spoken guy whose straight-forward approach is laudable, even if I don't always agree with him necessarily. And there is a little bit of humor here and there, which I generally enjoy and is preferable to other reviewers who are totally dead-pan or ones who go a little too far in that direction. So yeah, definitely check him out if only so that he can play all the Sonic games that exist so you don't have to.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eZ0wdIWKGxI -Sonic Advance trilogy review 4. Scott the Woz- https://www.youtube.com/user/scottthewoz
This guy is all about Nintendo, and it's always nice to have a user devoted to a single developer/company. You can tell he really appreciates and understands the Nintendo ethos, and he has videos on a wide-range of things including series retrospectives, console reviews and miscellaneous stuff like videos on old-school E3 shows or the last games released for every console. So it's either Nintendo stuff or industry retrospectives that get into retro ephemera, but I mostly go to him for Gamecube/Wii nostalgia.
He seems to be a big platform-y guy, and doesn't have that much content on certain big Nintendo franchises like Zelda, which is odd to me personally as a massive Zelda fanboi, but I appreciate his different perspective/values as a Nintendo gamer, and hey they do have a ton of platformers. But he also pays his respects to various Nintendo odd-balls that other people pass over.
Another thing about him is that he's pretty damn funny a lot of the time. He's good at going between sarcasm and unadulterated sincerity which I appreciate, even if every once in a while something doesn't land or resonate with me necessarily, I still respect the hell out of that hustle.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HiBodKbbJy4 (Wii is under-rated) 4. Clemps- https://www.youtube.com/user/MrClemps
This guy seems relatively new in terms of amount of content, but his videos are all really long, detailed looks at super niche-JRPGs like the Yoko Taro games, Dark Cloud and ones that no one's even heard of like this one that Studio Ghibli worked on in the 90s (Jade Cocoon). So yeah he goes deep into the weirder side of my favorite genre, and he's not only well-spoken and niche-oriented but also pretty funny and sports these vaguely threatening rubber gloves as a sort of gimmick that may point to a darker side.
There's a good bit of story summary which I usually end up skipping over, but that's kind of an issue with the majority of game reviewers, and hey, I guess some people really do want to hear a game's plot boiled down like that, and he does have a delightful accent. So yeah, big draw for me are videos on Nier and Nier Automata, FFXV, Odinsphere and Dark Cloud, but if your of a freakier, JRPG-oriented persuasion, then there's bound to be something here for you.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vf9y567Lqg4 - FFXV review 6. Superbutterbunz- https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKn72wsF89-DxlA1jlq_fUA
Last but for sure not least is Superbutterbuns, who covers an eclectic range of games including deep-level JRPGs like Persona as well as big crowd-pleasers like Overwatch and Dark Souls alongside niche-y, oft-forgotten platformers like Jak and Daxter and Ratchet and Clank. So she's kind of all over the place with a vague focus on JRPGs, but no matter what kind of game shes talking about you can count on her unique sense of humor and a style which has her going between wacky editing and lite-meme-ing to pretty serious and thorough analyses.
I'm not always in the mood for the high level of energy in her vids, but there's always something in every vid that gives me a new perspective. Her diverse taste makes me think of her channel as the most Tumblr-iest of video game youtubers that I follow in a way that I can't quite explain, but something about Ratchet and Clank vids, next to Kingdom Hearts vids next to Overwatch and Dark Souls vids just makes me think of Tumblr, in a good way. And big ups to her Persona and Catherine vids and the use of Tchaikovsky as background-music.

MetalJesusRocks- Respect this dude's console retrospectives, and mostly hit up his videos when I'm thinking about a whole console and its library, seeing as he has a massive amount of games for every platform being a collector and all. His vids are very collector-oriented which is a cool perspective and I like the diverse cast of guests who he collaborates with.

ValkrieAuroroa- Awesome taste in deep-level JRPG goodness and has worked with Superbutterbuns and Clemps on a few games including Nier Automata. Well-written videos and great taste? Can't go wrong.
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDjB4FTYBq2KCh67pGx1D1Q PeanutButterGamer- Not to be confused with Butterbuns, this guy is one of my go-to youtubers for Zelda content, see as he has a crazy amount of it, including very niche-y Zelda content like "top 10 dungeons" or "top 10 items" etc, which get deep into one of my favorite franchises. His sense of humor can sometimes be a little "LOLZ-random" and yet he seems like a good guy, and I respect his vids/writing/editing.
https://www.youtube.com/user/PeanutButterGamer
Mark Brown- This dude has content on a lot of games, but for me his Master Key series is the big draw because it’s one of the only series that I’ve seen which focus specifically on Zelda dungeons, and I'm personally a bit of a Zelda dungeon-freak, so seeing him get deep into analyzing, comparing and like deconstructing Zelda dungeons is freakin’ awesome.
https://www.youtube.com/user/McBacon1337
Cleanprincegaming- Not really sure why I feel the need to include this dude, cuz I just recently subscribed and I have an issue with like all of his videos, but I feel like he still makes pretty interesting stuff despite all that. They just happen to always be over-produced to shit, overly self-serious and err on the side of being kind of negative generally. I also don't like his voice that much, but there's still something to be had from his videos and one day he could be great, if he like chills out and lightens up. I'm kind of interested in things he does differently like weird b-roll footage mixed in with his reviews, but I don't think a lot of it works, and yet here I am still writing about him. Idk, he's good enough to go in the 10-slot, and you can tell he's ambitious as hell and I feel like I went to public school with him in an alternate dimension.

And shout-out to Game Grumps for being the most palatable and easy-going but still enjoyable LPers out there. Hat’s off, gentlemen.

Your Dream Of A Winona Ryder-Themed Arcade Has At Least Been Partly Realized
Remember that Amanda Visell X Michelle Valigura collab, which retold Star Wars from Princess Leia’s various perspectives? Well they’re back with another pair of video game concepts that we all wished was real, which this time taps into two of Winona Ryder’s most iconic roles.
Alas, both Lydia's Trouble With The Living and Veronica's Heathers are sold out, despite the rather hefty price tag of $250 each. It’s also worth noting that only five of each was made; sorry for the late heads up, which I guess is one of the bigger downsides of this weekly format. Though they went on sale on a Friday, when most stuff online goes unnoticed anyway.
At any rate, what else have you missed last week? Well, let’s see…
Speaking of cross-overs, it’s the Chrono Cross X Miami Vice mash-up that you had no idea existed but will soon be glad it does…
youtube
This combination of Akira and Pac-Man also works very well for me (via atariforce)…
Sticking with Pac-Man, here’s a kinda crazy comic produced during the height of Pac-mania. Again, a huge fan of artwork depicting video games back in the day; the super abstract visuals gave artists plenty to work with (via tvgame)…
And here we have the late, great Lily Tomlin discussing her addiction to the game. The following is a joke btw… I think?
youtube
The arcades sure have changed over the years. Where it was the place to go for Pac-Man, now it’s the place to play… Rock'em Sock'em Robots? Gigantic ones to be precise (via aworldofgames)…
As noted last time, I’ve been playing Breath of the Wild, which was going great until I made a horrific discovery that is brilliantly articulated via the following comic (via humblegoat)…
Speaking of Zelda, here’s a wonderful piece from the always awesome Kyle Fewell…
As some of you may know already, I’m fairly embedded in the Garbage Pail Kids scene, which is how I came across Mark Pingitore’s rendition of Samus…
Bloomsbury UK asks: “Is this the greatest epigraph ever?” I’m inclined to say yes…
We’ve all seen videos of an American gamer checking out the Japanese flavor of familiar hardware and software, right? Well, how about the reverse? In the following we see someone that runs an game store in Japan, who also apparently has zero familiarity with the NES. Seems a bit odd; most Americans in any given game shop has at least some knowledge of the Famicom at this point (or so I’d like to believe, even if it’s because of the internet). Anyhow, it’s amusing to see the fellow be impressed by the American styling, which he prefers over the Japanese esthetics, as well him forgetting to press down on a NES cart for it to work…
youtube
Speaking of regional differences, does anyone know if the American version of Deroon Derodero, called Tecmo Stackers here in the States, has this green elephant that’s basically sniffing himself (via obscurevideogames)?
Which wacky box art do you prefer? This one for I am a Teacher: Teami no Kiso (via vgjunk)…
Or this one for Forget Me Not: Palette (also via vgjunk)…
Speaking of box art, remember the ones in the vein of that Criterion Collection that members of Select Button produced did many moons ago, which I somewhat recently came across and shared? Well, I also found a similar batch from NeoGAF…
And speaking of oldies but goodies, and back to Select Button; was recently reminded of the Averaging Gradius project, which recorded various participants (including my good pal Nullsleep) and their playthroughs of Gradius, to study how different people handle similar situations in a game…
youtube
And sticking with shmups, the place to go on Tumblr regarding the subject recently introduced me to the work of Daniel Vendrell Oduber. Am particularly fond of his pieces on M.U.S.H.A. and Gaiares…
So the latest meme that I’ve become fascinated with is one hailing from China that stars Fujiwara no Mokou from Touhou Project. Here’s some of my favorites…
Now might be a good time to highlight the Thexder resin kit that miki800 shared not too long ago. Pre-orders are being accepted right this second…
Whereas this TwinBee model/figure/toy is still in the prototype phase. But thus far, looking great!
Also courtesy of Video Game Densetsu is footage of a Japanese toy store that includes the launch of Dragon Quest 3…
youtube
Speaking of Dragon Quest…
I really miss Capcom’s Secret Files, which you can read more about here, cuz they were chock full of such goofy personality, something that’s a bit lacking from the company these days. Stuff like (via ouendanl)…
Just a friendly reminder why MUGEN is still the best…
And finally: yes, that’s Doom running on an ATM…

Gentlemen Prefer Pixels (Over Polygons)
Called me old-fashioned, but nothing’s sexier than a girl that’s a mystery. Blocky, abstract pixels make you wonder, whereas smoothly detailed polygons do not.
And the above, featuring interpretations of various leading ladies from various 8-bit games from an old issue of Famitsu, illustrates this point nicely. I’ve always had a thing for Samus, but it was kinda more fun when my imagination filled in the blanks.
I also kinda dig the pink and white color scheme for the armor she has here. Bonus points for not sexy-ing up Tyris Flare…
BTW, they’re from this old blog that hasn’t been updated in ages. Google Translate sez its aim was to transcribe 1000(!!!) issues of the classic Japanese game mag, and once again, I am saddened by my inability to understand Japanese.
I also have a new project; to archive the source, since info like this is fairly scare and blogs in general do not stick around forever. Oh, and I’d gladly accept anyone’s help towards this effort, cuz my hands are pretty full at the moment.
Speaking of archives, thank goodness for the Video Game Art Archive, which preserves illustrations found in old game manuals. Recently it began showcasing imagery found in the manual for Ballz, on old 16-bit fighter in which every character is made out of, you guessed it.
As it turns out, the Japanese edition has its own unique interpretations of abstract game graphics…
And, as is often the case in Japanese game manuals, comic strips can often be found…
So, what news has me the most excited this week? Nope, it’s nothing related to PAX East (which I was unable to attend, unfortunately). Instead, there’s word that the Brick Theater is reviving the Game Play festival! It’s been a summer staple (alongside the New York Asian Film Festival) for years now, and I was super bummed that there wasn’t one last July (I also feared the worst, that the plug had been pulled entirely).
Anyhow, nothing has been announced because they’re still gather applications. So if you happen to have an idea for a stage production that’s video game related, click this link. Oh, and for anyone interested in my write up of Game Play 2015, here ya go.
The other exciting bit of news is this footage of 3DS Space Harrier, Galaxy Force II, and Power Drift, the 3DS versions running on a PS4 with a PSVR, courtesy of posthumanwanderings…
youtube
I seem to recall Yu Suzuki saying that he’d love to have Space Harrier in VR at the very least… though I believe the following is just a test produced by hardcore Segaphiles.
Sticking with Sega, though also back to the subject of theater; remember TOKYOHEAD, that play in Japan that depicted the trials and tribulations of top ranked Virtua Fighters? Well I recently came across this video…
youtube
… and this article, which mentions TOKYOHEAD. The production utilized motion capture tech called DL-EDGE that allowed the actions of actors on stage to be mimicked by in-game character (which I thought was what was happening in one photo, in my write-up)…
One last bit of stage theatrics; please enjoy this handshake from the stage production of Persona 3 (via emperorsfortune)…
For whatever reason, this photograph has me imagining a woman from the future, sent back in time to save humanity, but instead of arriving in some back alley street light in the Terminator, it’s in the middle of a game center…
It’s actually artist Mariko Mori, and you can check out other photographs from the same series, I think (including one of her dressed like a sexy android hanging next to a Sonic & Knuckles demo station), here.
Speaking of PDFs, during a regular scheduled attempt to gather anything I can find regarding The Flying Luna Clipper, I came across this link, which itself contained one to an archive of MSX Magazine…
Despite being the cover story, there isn’t much intel, or so it would seem…
… Yet the whole issue is definitely worth leafing through, especially if you’re obsessed with old Japanese PC hardware designs as much as I am.
Please enjoy this bit of fancy footwork from Tekken 3 (via sixteen-bit)…
Sticking with the subject of fighting games; the latest from the CDTcrew is perfect for anyone that’s a fan of Street Fighter 2 and seizures…
youtube
Which fighting game glitch do you prefer? This one from King of Fighters 2002, or this one from Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3?
Okay, time to chill for a bit. For six hours exact. That’s how long the sound of the Arwing’s engine, from Starfox, goes on for (there’s also a twelve hour version, for anyone interested)…
youtube
This week’s recommended reading is courtesy of Kotaku, which recently interviewed individuals from two local businesses that specialize in console repair. Here’s some excerpts from 'Let Him Fix It': The Battle Over Who Gets To Repair Your Consoles…
““I’ve been fixing stuff since I was a little kid, scavenging garbage,” GorillaStomp said, not looking up from the Xbox he was dismantling with a screwdriver. He was watching a For Honor Twitch stream while removing pet dander and cigarette detritus from the Xbox’s jammed disc tray. “Basically, I went from Legos to real-life troubleshooting.”…
… Back in 2008, GorillaStomp interviewed for a job at 8-Bit And Up with its owner, Joe. “It was the weirdest interview I’d ever had,” he told me. Joe asked if he’d ever worked as a repair guy. GorillaStomp said, “No, but last summer, I fixed seven PS2s for my buddies.” Joe hired him.”
Here we have a promotional vid for Atari, produced in 1981. It’s actually quite excellent, as far as corporate propaganda is concerned, thought it’s also a super sexy time capsule (via tvgame)…
youtube
Just a bunch of Super Mario mushrooms, in the corner of a Japanese book store. That is all (via fuckyeahjapanese)…
Behold, Moscoso x Psyduck (via altcomix)…
Which piece of Sonic fan art sent to an old video game magazine is better? This one (via sonicthehedgeblog)…
Or this one (via oldgamemags)…
And which Famicom cart (via famicartart) do you find more appealing? This one, for Perfect Bowling…
Or this one, for A Taxing Woman…
As much as I love a beautifully rendered cover art, sometimes a quick and dirty screenshot also does the job well (via shmups)…
I really have no idea what this image is about, but because it’s Xevious related, I kinda have to share it (via gaijira)…
And last but not least, this is apparently the only decoration in fmtownsmarty’s room…
Don’t forget: Attract Mode is now on Medium! There you can subscribe to keep up to date, as well as enjoy some “best of” content you might have missed the first time around, plus be spared of the technical issues that’s starting to overtake Tumblr.
