i've been going insane all morning over the fact that R did have a tumblr account!! and yeah, such a teenage tumblerina vibe <3 just spooky aesthetics and photos of himself and the rest of tlog... i see you managed to dig it up through the web archive?? had no idea one could do that! thank you!!

YES WHAT THE FUCK :o

you're super welcome, always happy to share the wayback magic! gorge yourself!! what got saved and not saved is a bit patchy/janky but who knows what'll turn up if you poke around :D

knowledge exchange: how are you finding so many of his posts within the tumblr interface to actually reblog? photos etc are definitely better preserved there 🤔

[lapis-lazuliie]

top 5 Reece characters in inside n9 please :3

1. tommy

2. brian

3. edward

4. drew

gonna be honest, i don't have a fifth fav character of his - at least not one that i find insanely fascinating 😅

[redvanillabee]

2, 6, 12, 13 🌸

thank you <3

2. what’s your feel-good movie?

I...don't know? Usually if I'm upset I find it hard to focus on a movie. But for some reason I like to randomly pull up Frozen/Frozen 2, so maybe that :)

6. say three nice things about yourself (three physical and three non-physical)

already answered :) I like that I'm getting stronger and can physically do things I like, and that I feel comfortable with doing things I like even when that means I'm doing it on my own.

12. how are you?

I'm doing fine :) Work's gonna really pick up in the next couple of weeks, but otherwise things are going just fine.

13. what’s your comfort food?

I'm very much someone who is like when in doubt, get a bowl of siu mai? Not those big fancy ones you get in dimsum restaurants, but the plainer ones in street side stalls. a warm bowl of that with some soy sauce just fixes everything.

soft asks to get to know people

[edandstede]

13, 23, 33, 45 :)

13. when was the last time you ate?

breakfast this morning

23. how do you feel about chilly weather?

give me cold weather over hot any day of the week. heat = humidity in the uk and i'm an asthmatic ginger white guy

33. the last adventure you’ve been on?

theme park shenanigans with @imagoddamnonionmason last weekend, 10/10 can't wait to do again

45. can you remember what happened yesterday?

boyfriend made us some very nice pasta and then i had to go to bed early with a cold :(

send in some weird asks

[whirlerwhirler]

top 5 inside n9 episodes!

oooooooh

MERRILY MERRILY - stories about grief are my JAM and also the fact it's a sort of league reunion makes me emo

Love's Great Adventure - say what you want about their slice of life episodes but i LOVE them and this one especially. I love when steve is soft and i love stories about families being families

Bernie Clifton's Dressing Room - love a two hander and, again, grief stores do something to me

The Last Weekend - no twist has got me like this one. when i realised what the facemask was for i had to pause and go for a walk and then i cried when i had to press play again lmao

Mother's Ruin - it reminds me so much of psychoville. like it's silly and dark and yet somehow i really really care about whether that fucking parrot answered the question

[levil0vesyou]

i'm so sorry for that monday production story, i hope it doesn't affect you as much now. adults really do say some wild shit and don't even realize how damaging it can be. my dad would point out all the broken and abandoned houses and dirty cars on the street and say they were mine, and i always replied they were his, and we'd start bickering, and then laughed it off, and i only thought about it recently and have no idea why he would say such a thing? i think it subconsciously got ingrained that i'm not good with housekeeping and generally don't deserve nice things (sorry for trauma dumping). just, adults are so weird with their kids and don't realize the damage

(ask is in reference to my tags on this post)

(there's more trauma in this reply btw, fair warning. under a cut bc long)

Thank you, it actually means a lot!! I wasn't even sure if anyone was gonna read it lmao, tag rambling sometimes feels like just straight up screaming into the void lmao

Hate to disappoint, but its effect on me has been increasing for years 😎👍 It's so weird how you can have shit like that lie dormant for ages until you one day go "hang on" and then it starts eating away at you

It also goes really well with her "Niemand wünscht sich ein behindertes Kind" (lit. "Nobody wishes for a disabled child" but can more accurately be translated as "Nobody wants a disabled child") which she only said once and not even about me but basically one shotted me and has been squatting in my brain evilly ever since. Top ten fucked up sentences to completely devastate your disabled child, number 4 will surprise you 😎👍

(I actually did bring that one to her attention years later but she dismissed any effects it had on me on grounds she didn't mean it that way 😎👍)

Yea, that's some bullshit tbh. Like, that's not the kinda shit a father should be saying to their kid, like bro this is an impressionable young mind in your care who trusts you blindly, not your fucking sibling or highschool bestie you can shoot the shit with. Parents give like zero shits what they say to their children, it's wild. And very concerning sometimes

And it would probably be possible to heal that shit more easily if they actually recognised that, maybe even apologised, but at least in my mum's case, she categorically refuses to acknowledge any instances of one of her children being negatively impacted by something she's said or done if we're the ones bringing it to her attention.

Like, I think she recognises some of the stuff she's said and done as not great but any attempt to amend that list will result in her "oh so I'm a horrible person and at fault for all your problems and you refuse to take responsibility hmmm?" spiel 😔

For the record tho I wanna say I don't think she's a horrible mum and especially when it came to material well being/physical health/etc she really did try her best and I could've had it much worse. She was an underpaid nurse raising three children (two of them disabled) mostly on her own while also caring for different sick elderly relatives over the years.

It's a miracle she made it work and while I do think some stuff was unnecessary, some of especially the later stuff that was more affective (not like hitting or anything, the only parental figure who ever hit me was my grandma who did it exactly one time tho even that took many years to process which is how I know "it's okay to hit your kids" ppl are full of shit) which I can far more easily understand & forgive. That said, if your own child says "[thing you did or said] had a negative impact on me" maybe believe them lmao

...yea this is a bit too long huh

love the taskmaster asks! 4, 5, 10, 15, 19 please :3

thank you sm! 4. Favourite quote in the Taskmaster Book of Quotes™? - It's gotta be "Is that a boulder? Or just a big rock" (tbh tied with 'my eyes are circles'. James has so many iconic lines)

5. Favourite task(s)? - Ooh I already mentioned the hide and seek train one to be one of my faves but also the extension team task and the teabag throwing task from s1 10. If you could pick any 5 old contestants to come back for a special, who would they be? - I'm not sure why these 5 came to mind but an episode with James Acaster, Ed Gamble, Nish Kumar, John Kearns, and Mel Giedroyc sounds delightful

15. Any unpopular opinions? - This is such a small one but tbh I hate the look of the taskmaster seal in the updated intro. It's so awkward and blobby.

19. When did you discover the show? - Same as a lot of people it seems! Around the beginning of quarantine I discovered the TM youtube account and i've been absolutely hooked ever since.
