Okay, I know next to nothing about FNF (except that the little blue-haired dude is bisexual and used to be in a relationship with the little orange-haired dude, but is now in a relationship with the brunette girl) (and that's all very cute). So what exactly is the story with this Yourself character? Also, is he the same as Silly Billy?

OKAY so there's a lot to unpack with this question here-- first I'll give a little background on FNF itself:

The blue haired dude is named Boyfriend, and the brunette girl is called Girlfriend, the ginger guy is called Pico (but he's not important to this question). GF and BF are obviously together, hence their names (even though in their view it's merely coincidence).

Now, as you know, BF is in a relationship with GF, right? In their own universe, yes, but Yourself (AKA Silly Billy as he's so commonly nicknamed (due to the name of the song he appears in)) is an alternate universe version of BF. Yourself is from a universe where his GF (AKA Herself) died in a tragic accident of some kind (of which we don't know) and is left in tatters, quite literally. He is shown to be a tall, lanky version of BF who appears to have lost himself when Herself died, no longer taking care of himself.

BF is normally shown as short, and this is to show off his innocence, to make him appear cute and nice. Yourself has lost that innocence, appearing at his full height, his true height. He shows that he can still be seen as innocent in the middle of the song he sings with BF as he shortens down, but that doesn't last too long as he soon grows back to his full height with a nasty laugh.

In the song Yourself sings with BF there's a cutscene near the end of the song that includes a lyrical portion, and as Yourself sings you can see Herself for a split second as he sings the line "So stay awake just long enough to see my way". He's singing with her as she appears, and you can even hear her voice in the song- and this is because her spirit resides in Yourself's mic, you can even see it glow in the beggining cutscene of the song. These lyrics are also a nod to the original mod's creator that had first created Yourself, Divide, who sadly died in his sleep due to cancer.

Yourself sings to BF with such passion, such pain, it's almost like he's warning BF to cherish GF and not lose her like he did Herself. Here's all the lyrics in the song:

I'll make you say How proud you are Of me So stay awake Just long enough Too see My way

My way

Yes, these are a nod to Divide, but I also like to view them as a nod to Herself as well. Like Yourself wishes for her to be proud of him even if she's no longer with him, to stay awake just long enough to see how far he's come, and how far he's fallen.

Also, in the frame where you can see Herself behind Yourself you can also see that Yourself has tattered angel wings, possibly to infer that he's practically dead, or some type of fallen angel - possibly as a metaphor for how broken he is without GF.

Now, a good chunk of this is simply speculation as there isn't too much info on Yourself or his story. Though, I do hope we get more on him someday.

I hope this clears some things up!

Silly Game Time: Are you a fan of the Sci-Fi genre? If so, what's a Sci-Fi story you really like, and why? (movie, show, book, game, etc.) (could also be blended with any other genre)

I am once again demanding everyone read/watch The Expanse by S.A. Corey. The characters, the arcs, the worldbuilding!

Started as a book series and was adapted into a 5 season show and my GOD do I adore it. I'm long overdue for a refresh, so I'm going to take the season 1 summary from the wiki:

Set hundreds of years in the future, after mankind has colonized the solar system. A hardened detective and a rogue ship's captain come together for what starts as a missing young woman and evolves into a race across the solar system to expose the greatest conspiracy in human history.

That's a broad overview that doesn't do the politics, relationships, and worldbuilding justice.

For example, the rogue captain is rogue against his (and his crew's) will after their job as ice haulers abruptly ended when they were caught in the cross-fire of Earth/Martian politics. And the missing young woman went missing under circumstances that are appearing more and more to defy the very laws of reality.

I seriously cannot recommend it enough like. None of this is even near to capturing how batshit the series makes me. it's SO good. complex, fleshed out, dramatic. it is genuinely my favorite sci-fi story of all time, and top 2 shows i've ever watched.

PLEASE read/watch the expanse by james s.a. corey i'll beg on my knees if I have to

Silly Game Time: Welcome to the Randomocracy, a society where we assign people to be the caretakers of randomly selected animals!

First, use a random *letter* generator to get a letter. Second, use a random *number* generator to get a number between 1 and 10. Finally, look up "animals that start with [your letter]", and go down the list until you get to the option corresponding with your number. CONGRATULATIONS! You are now responsible for ensuring this animal's well-being? What is it (post a picture), and on a scale of 1 to 10, how much is this going to impact your life?

(I got E and 1, which means I'm now the proud guardian of an Elephant! This is kinda awesome ... but also gonna ruin me financially.)

ooo this one sounds like a fun one! alright, lets see

my letter is T, and my number is 9. So that means my animal is...

a tamarin monkey!

as someone who is currently fixated on lego monkie kid, this is the best possible outcome. as for how much it will impact me? ...well im pretty sure owning them is illegal, so lets assume ive been tasked to take care of it in a legal way. i think if i was taught what to do i could do it? id be hella nervous at first, but a quick google search tells me while they dont make the best pets, the people that do care for them say they can be really sweet.

id probably say a 9/10 for nervousness, 7/10 for excitement, and 7-9/10 for impact, depending on if the one i get is nice or not.

Silly Game Time: The last song you listened to is now the theme song for the rest of your life. Which song is it, and what does that suggest the rest of your life will be like?

(For me, I happened to listen to an Indiana Jones medley. So I guess I'll be punching fascists? Huzzah!)

Haaaah. I've never watched the Indiana Jones movies, but one of the kids in my archeology class was an avid Indiana Jones hater due to his apparent impractical and unethical archeological practices?

Mine is Electric Love by Bjorns. Seems pretty fitting ! I am constantly struck by electric love from everyone I care about in my life.

Silly Game Time: I'm a word nerd. Share with me some words you really like! (And if you speak more than one language, what're some of your favorite words in your second language?)

Dynamic is one of my favs from spelling and sound alone, but i love the way Frost makes me feel. Also "defenestration" is the word for throwing someone through a window.

not really a word thing, but smth i love teaching people is that there are different kinds of dashes.

theres the normal hyphen (-), which is used for things like compound words or spelt out numbers (eg, greenish-blue tint. eg, forty-nine)

the en dash (–), which is used for a rage between things (eg, monday–friday. eg, 1920–1940)

and the em dash (—), which is used for breaks in a sentence or in place of things like commas and semicolons to add more emphasis (eg, she knew what the answer would be—they'd done this before, after all—but she was relieved nonetheless. eg, "I didn't mean to—")

em dash is my beloved and i have the alt code memorized. i use it far to often.
