Timekeeper box

The newest box. The snake used to be in the Movement box. The elephant was in the Identity box. The bear, sloth and the orca were in the Potency box. The crow used to be in the Vision, now called the Sense box. The snow leopard was constantly moved between the Elemental box and this one, until it settled here.

Borre, the snow leopard of Caution

Sass, the snake of Repetition

Grizz, the bear of Preservation

Folli, the sloth of Procrastination

Inn, the orca of Affection

Miraii, the crow of Intuition

Memmi, the elephant of Recollection

been having way too much fun with these guys in the sims

context for the leo part: i made one set of human versions and one set of horrible green-skinned “turtle” versions and put them both in the same world and while i was playing donnie & mikey’s household (had to split them so it’d be easier to manage), human leo started dating his turtle version. i just rolled with it out of morbid curiosity.

[andbrokenmemories]

Uhhh let's just talk about how much I love tattletale I love you tattletaleeee I love you manipulating an emotionally compromised girl right under her nose and then ultimately turning her into something you a) love with all your heart b) Cannot Fucking Control. i love your doomed natureee hahahaa

What flavour of communist and/or gay are you? /Gen

I'm not really sure what this means.

Not to spout clichés or take myself too seriously, but to some extent I think labels confine us within rigid structures which ultimately only serve our enemies. I know it's just a shortcut, but even the fact that you say 'flavour' kinda reiterates the idea that lots of the associated terminology positions us as existing for consumption.

Of course I know language matters. Indeed, I think a disproportionately large amount of leftist in-fighting is down to word choice and communication. More often than not, when anarchists refer to the state and Leninists refer to capital or bourgeois democracy, we're all talking about the same systems of harm and oppression. I also believe that what's most important is what we do, not how we identify.

I actively avoid the 'discourse' surrounding queer terminology. For years in my youth I railed against the word 'bisexual' because I didn't like that it implied I have two distinct sexualities, and for awhile I even called myself 'ambisexual' in an attempt to prompt a deconstruction thereof. But then I decided that I like the colours of the bi flag, which is really all that matters, because it's just aesthetics.

So I guess let me put it this way: I'm a trade union organiser who specifically represents queer union members. I grew up reading Marx, and some of the greatest influences through my adolescence on how I approach the world were Gramsci and Mao, and later Fanon and Butler. I spent a lot of my twenties questioning whether I count as trans, as I have always been very comfortable with both my masculinity and my femininity, but at some point I realised very clearly that the gender I was assigned at birth is not reflected in either.

I very strongly believe in the value of Lenin and Leninism to global struggle; but likewise I have taken a lot from Malatesta, Luxemburg, Adorno, and so on. I also think, while they are to be scrutinised rigorously, there is much to be gained from the likes of Trotsky, Foucault, or ‎Žižek. I am a staunch anti-Zionist, but Memmi nevertheless teaches us a great deal about the plight of the colonised.

I am probably closer to an orthodox Marxist than I am to a Leninist or anarchist, but ultimately I think all this orthodoxy reeks of bourgeois affectation. The questions we should be asking are: who is most impacted by the realities of a given situation, and what are they saying, what do they need? Once upon a time in the west, and certainly still in most cases, this is BIPOC and sexual others, so we read Davis and Feinberg and Öcalan and Ahmed and Tuck and Yang. It is the strength of the revolutionary to adapt to the material conditions at hand, and remain undaunted.

In the end, we have more in common with one another than we have with ruling classes, right? So let us gather together! If this is the final struggle, let each stand in our place.

Rip of the week: 18/11/2024

vibri and joke explainer open up mario party 8 and play rudder madness together

Season 8 Featured on: The Joke​-​Explainer™ 7000's Highest Quality Rips: Sunset

Ripped by Memmy

So, the big Season 8 albums finally released - and there's a new Bandcamp up with it! You might've noticed that I've gone back to touch up a bunch of Season 8 posts as a result, and I've spent the past week listening through both albums as well. This release paired well with a recent thought of mine, that ever since I made the switch to a weekly schedule, I've wanted to increase my coverage of the current season's rips in particular. The problem there was, of course, knowing what rips to cover – which became a lot easier with proper album releases to sort them into. Funnily enough, I was also thinking about how long it'd been since I covered a no-frills meme medley along the likes of Memey Hell or Mother, Father, TechnoMan. And it was right as that thought struck me, as I was still listening to the album, that I realized that vibri and joke explainer open up mario party 8 and play rudder madness together had been playing in my ears all along. The stars aligned, and with everything the rip represents, with the ripper's own history already covered on the blog, it only felt right to use it as the blog's first celebration of the Joke-Explainer 7000 albums dropping.

Last time I wrote about today's ripper, Memmy, was on the ever-as-lovingly named Welcome to 2021! They finally invented summers that hurt motherfuckers😂 only at sonicforces​.​com; a rip I also happened to pick on a whim from having heard it on an album listen. What I wanted to emphasize with my coverage of that rip in particular was the love that rippers like Memmy express in the act of ripping for SiIvaGunner, not just through shooting for the stars and creating unbelievably impressive passion projects, but through simply making something with their own hands and having an evidently amazing time doing it. Despite my own obvious adoration for the channels' large-scale projects such as the Christmas Comeback Crisis, The Life and Times of Wade L.D., and more, Seasons 7 and 8 of SiIvaGunner in particular have been eye-opening for me for making me realize just how much I also enjoy seeing rippers simply engage in doing what they love. Running this blog as a means to highlight the "best" SiIvaGunner rips is in some ways misleading, because the channel is only as good as it is through the totality of ALL of its contributions, through the shared love that its entire team has toward the simple act of creating things for the love of the craft. With Season 7, it was RIP^2 and arrangements like The Paragoomba and the Wiggler that made that love more evident than ever before; with Season 8, however, it's all been due thanks to the presence and continued adoration of one little robot girl.

Season 8 as a whole is one I've previously on described as the "silliest" SiIvaGunner Season – as made evident through rips like slider dank version – and I think that's in huge part because of how thoroughly the team adores The Joke-Explainer 7000 as the new channel master. With Season 6 being in large part about confronting the expectations placed upon the team, with Season 7 being a full-year celebration of where those expectations came from and why we all adore the channel, Season 8 has felt like a year-long party of creative freedom, unrestrained from the past and free to play around in all sorts of ways at the drop of a hat. And of course, at the center of it all sits that one very silly little robot. As a channel host, JE-7K toys and plays with us in the audience, while the team in turn toy and plays with her own appearance at a staggering rate, seemingly just as enamored as we in the audience are by all of the Situations they put her through. As a result of all this, though the year may have been light in continental developments, it's given us some all-time classic, hyper-silly events, from April Fools 2024 covered in super mario 64 but it's in the buddy holly soundfont to the Justin Bieber Baby anniversary celebration covered on Super Ludacris JB World; each one fulfilling the standard routine for SiIvaGunner takeovers, yet coming alongside new outfits and posts just having fun with the idea of the Joke-Explainer 7000 running it all herself. Put simply, this year has felt radiant and joyous in a way I'm unsure if I've felt from the channel in quite a while.

I may well be looking into things too deeply just to make a point about Season 8 in particular (the channel has ALWAYS been chaotic, after all); but no matter the year, few rippers on the channel's team embody that chaotic, individualistic silliness better than Memmy. And while on Welcome to 2021! They finally invented summers that hurt motherfuckers😂 only at sonicforces​.​com I moreso focused on her love for the simple things, hers and many other rippers' drive to do whatever they feel like doing, it's with vibri and joke explainer open up mario party 8 and play rudder madness together that we end up getting closer to highlighting her full potential, the true machinations of her twisted mind. That individualism is certainly still present in this rip; The Vib-Ribbon game itself, for one, is one with only a dozen rips on the channel, with half of them having been made by Memmy herself throughout the course of just this year, pretty plainly showing her steadfast dedication to championing what she cares for. You may also, on a separate note, recall the aptly-named Season 5 rip my rip :) that I wrote about a while back, but might well have forgotten that the request to write about it was made by Memmy herself.

And so, for vibri and joke explainer open up mario party 8 and play rudder madness together, it's as if all of these separate aspects; Season 8's penchant for hijinx, the team's adoration for the Joke-Explainer 7000, a ripper's individualistic drive to make whatever she feels like, their love and championing for games that might otherwise be left forgotten a la Violet Snow Memories, and Memmy's fascination with the soundscape of sheer insanity. Laugh & Peace from the original Vib Ribbon already has an insane, sample-heavy vibe to it, but the samples, pace and madness of vibri and joke explainer open up mario party 8 and play rudder madness together give it almost a 100gecs-ian, hyperpop vibe, a cacophony of noise that would almost CERTAINLY kill a Victorian era child upon first listen. It's not a soundscape I'm at all averse to – FEEL SO FINE STUCK INSIDE is still one of my favorite Stuck Inside rips from the year – and there's a certain additional magic to this kind of sound once you've been made familiar with the artist behind it and just where all these desperate samples come from. If you've been following the channel's uploads through this year in particular you may well recognize at least a good handful of these samples; and much like the channels' rips themselves, even if you don't recognize one it all still just adds to the beauty of the rip's totality.

The driving force of the rip's first section, if nothing else, would be the voice samples of the rip's titular character and channel's beloved host; the Joke-Explainer 7000 voice clips as recorded all the way back in Season 4 Episode 1 by infrequent contributor Jea. For as recent as the character's time in the spotlight has been, it's easy to forget just how much her performance in Welcome to SiIvaGunner! and more really do add to the charm of the character, this softspoken yet aptly mischievous voice fitting her current-Season characterization like a glove. She wants to manage and help out, but can't help herself from pulling pranks and messing around; and just as quickly as she's introduced in vibri and joke explainer open up mario party 8 and play rudder madness together, she's tucked away and replaced with samples from all over the place. Be it the Brainless Kitty fart sfx, Love Live music, or what's probably the most standout sample; a now-infamous clip of a SpongeBob reviewer yelling about THE SECURITY SYSTEM TAKING CONTROL OF SQUIDWARD'S HOUSE. It's the kind of thing that I don't think makes much sense to try and explain the comedy of – you might argue that applies to this rip as a whole probably – and yet it's just another level of deep-internet brainrot that the rip blends in with the rest of the noise so effectively. Something about hearing this absurdly angry rant over a cartoon be sampled, mixed and then pitch-shifted to the melody of the aforemention Season 8 meme Stuck Inside just feels like such a perfect bow put on the Season as a whole, so effortlessly able to not take anything seriously and twist and conform to whatever would be the funniest bit to do in the moment.

I hope you understand just why I felt this rip was such a perfect choice to write about for this Season's big album drop; and, as an extension, why this post has taken a fair bit longer to come out than usual. Like the channel itself, underneath all of vibri and joke explainer open up mario party 8 and play rudder madness together's cacophony and noise is a genuinely really fun listen, a driving rhythm from the original Laugh & Peace still carrying the track through across the finish line. It feels at once completely stupid and thoroughly fascinating, so many layers of subversion from what anyone would think an average SiIvaGunner rip would be to where this would NEVER have been released back in Season 1 or Season 2, yet feels completely at home with the outrageous rips we receive multiple times a week nowadays. It's the spirit of one ripper doing whatever the fuck she feels like, in a year where that mentality feels more encouraged than ever before, using both a song and game that already felt as if it was operating under that very same mentality; and it's a rip that I'm all too likely to cite as one of the year's hidden gems by the time it's over.

And also, like, Memmy was both one of the first rippers I was made aware of as being a fan of this blog AND one of the few rippers who are still using Maroon 5 deep cuts like Sweetest Goodbye and I Can't Lie – I HAD to shout her out on here just one more time... even if I admittedly still don't know where exactly Mario Party 8 fits into vibri and joke explainer open up mario party 8 and play rudder madness together

Odds and ends:

WILD GIRLS OF CHAMPAGNE

In September 1731, in Champagne, France, a wild nine-year-old girl wandered into the small village of Songy. The child's skin was black. She wore rags and animal skins, and she had a bottle gourd on her head, nothing on her feet, and a club by her side. When someone in the hamlet set a dog on her, she gave it a resounding whack on the head, and the dog dropped dead at her feet.

The villagers decided to capture her, first tempting her with a pitcher of water. When she wouldn't leave the safety of a tree, they sent a woman and a child with food to coax her out. So enticed, she was seized and taken before the Viscount d'Epinoy at his chateau. While in the castle, she devoured one of the raw birds hanging in the kitchen. When given a dead rabbit, she rapidly skinned and ate that, too.

After many baths, it was discovered that she had white skin and was apparently an Eskimo. Her thumbs were extraordinarily large, and their size was attributed to her lifestyle of swinging from trees. She was christened Marie-Angelique Memmie LeBlanc. Before her capture, when Memmie had roamed the woods, she was often in the company of a young, wild Negress girl. One day the two girls found an ornament on the ground and fought over it. The girl smashed Memmie's hand, and Memmie hit her companion on the head. Whether the girl died or left was undetermined.

In 1737 the queen of Poland, mother to the French queen, decided to take Memmie hunting. She enjoyed watching the girl chase and catch rabbits with her hands. Memmie learned French, was taught to make artificial flowers, and forced to stop climbing trees and swimming. Her health and spirit suffered greatly. She went on to live in a convent in Paris.
