Not to ride Bezos's dick, but Shiny Happy People is free on prime video rn with ads and it's got all the hits including commentary from Fundie Friday, an interview of Paul and Morgan that's currently making Paul meltdown, and a summary of the "Joshua" generation

It is about the Duggars, so please be careful when viewing due to the nature of the documentary. There will be discussions of things like child sexual abuse material, child abuse, cults, and fundamentalism

KEVIN KORCHINSKI APPRECIATION POST

Hello, this is a remake of a post i made last season and i'm making it because 1. love kevin 2. can't stop thinking of how shit my old post was lol, so a remake is need (you won't find the og post because i deleted it)

1. let's start with some base things. he was drafted 7th overall in the 2022 draft to chicago

2. he's a defenceman

3. his rookie season was last year. he struggled a bit and is going to play in the AHL this year for the rockford icehogs

4. he got 5 goals and 10 assist

5. his dynamic with connor bedard is so sweet. They were both rookies for the chicago blackhawks last year but before that they played on team canada (wjc) 2023 together.

6. In warms ups connor would glide in bump into kevin, kevin would bump/push him back and connor would spin (x) (x.2) (x.3)

7. they also got their first fine together 🤗 (they went no bucket for their rookie lap and got fined)

8. since kevin and connor's whl teams never played each other they bicker about which team would have hypothetically beaten the other in a match up

9. kevin and connor combined to defeat the leafs in OT last season and it was beautiful

10. if you want more kevin and connor content here is a list of videos for you to watch:

Every Shift Season 1 Episode 5: Ambition to Action | 15:06-15:20

Every Shift Season 2 Episode 6: Great Expectations | timestamps; 1:37-4:20

(INSTAGRAM video)

they did a podcast together (it is a very painful watch because of the host :/)

11. he has a youtube channel (the name of which i cannot remember which makes me so sad) but it is him doing backflips or talking about hockey

12. speaking of him having a youtube channel- he was asked if he could be an influencer and he said he would try and then fail

13. there is a scar under his eye that he got when he was playing in the WHL conference finals and got high sticked in game one

14. the reason he decided to go to the WHL was to follow in his fathers' footsteps and so they have something to bond over (x 0:00-0:45)

15. kevin speaks really high of his dad as he is one of his main inspirations

16. literally whenever there is a single post about him people default to the "hi kevin" video/gif from spongebob lol

17. he used to play the piano because his mum wanted one of her kids to learn piano so kevin was put in piano. In year 9 he quit to focus on hockey. But he still likes playing piano for his mum

18. but kevin likes music and can play guitar, ex.1, ex.2,

19. here's him singing a zach bryan song with alex vlasic x

20. speaking of zach bryan, kevin is a big country fan

21. he is also a big coldplay fan because of his dad

22. his favourite show is suits

23. he was a very energetic kid and because of that his grandad called him "energy bunny" (x)

24. his hockey habit is that he has to change his laces every game. if they're a pair of laces he likes he'll keep them for a couple of games. he also has to retie his laces after every period

25. he is competitive with big sister whenever they play cards | timestamp: 10:26-10:56

26. he was at school for a test, when his friend told him he got drafted to the Seattle Thunderbirds (x)

27. during his rookie season, colin blackwell took kevin under his wing. they would drive together to practice some days and colin teached kevin who to cook steak

28. there is an amazing video of kevin and sam savioe singing shallow by lady gaga in colins car that i have to show you, like it's beautiful x

29. he might be real or not idk his existence is debated

[miniaturenightmareharmony]

I'm in a polyamory relationship with two of my siblings.

My sister (23), myself (22), and one of our younger brothers (21), are in a consensual relationship with each other and raise our children together.

For whatever reason, growing up, the three of us had at various points expressed interest in marrying a sibling. Most people wrote it off as harmless fun, even as we reached puberty and started to explore each other.

All of us had grown up in a single parent household with our mom, who seemed younger than other moms to have four kids. We also never really met any other family, even though we knew we had grandparents and an aunt. I had a few fuzzy memories of being super young but living somewhere else first that our mom denied.

The year our brother turned 12, we found out how she was able to be a single mom and still be able to give us a fairly comfy life, despite not a lot of adult supervision. We were all supported by our father, who was also our moms father. She had given birth to all four of us before she even turned 18, and our father had moved her out once she was a legal adult, but paid for us to keep quiet.

Well, prior to that, we had just explored each other but had held off on full penetrative sex. Instead of being disgusted with the news that our mom was our half-sister, it seemed to add fuel to the fire. No one had really talked to any of us about protection, so before much longer, my sister and I both sported baby bumps at ages 13 and 14. Our mom was mortified and pulled all of us out of school to be homeschooled so we couldn't tell anyone what we had found out and what was going on in our house.

Early the next year, we both gave birth within a day of each other to our first daughters. I guess our mom thought taking care of newborns would keep us from fucking each other again, but she was wrong. Not long after, we both sported our second baby bumps.

My sister stopped after giving birth to her second daughter, or at least seems unable to conceive again. My brother and I kept repeating the cycle after I gave birth to our first son. We were horny teenagers who mother had to work and despite also being parents, we found time.

As each of us turned 18, we were thrown out of the house with our "sinful" children. We had stayed in contact with each other and made plans to raise our children together.

My sister has two beautiful girls who are 7 and 6. I have three girls who are 7, 4, and 2. Four boys who are 6, 5, 3, and 1. Our next child is due next month.

We've since been in contact with our father/grandfather, and he helps here and there with money when he can. We found out that his wife had no problem with him impregnating our mother, as it meant she didn't have to have anymore children. Our mother had agreed to have children for her father originally, but I guess didn't realize he meant they would also be her siblings. She chose to leave when our youngest brother was 2, so he never got to see us grow up.

He's a great grandad to our kids, and said if needed, he could help supply us with more. - N

15 questions / 15 mutuals

I was tagged by the wonderful @stripesysheaven thanks so much for the tag friend! 😀

1. are you named after anyone?

Yeah, I'm named after my great grandad!

When I was watching Succession because of Sarah Snook and her incredible acting 😭

3. do you have kids?

I've played football, tennis, golf, mini golf, basketball, rounders, tag rugby and badminton. The only one I still play sometimes is badminton though.

6. what's the first thing you notice about other people?

7. what's your eye colour?

Brown! 😁

[criticallyacclaimedstranger]

I was tagged by @movievillainess721 for this. Thank you! Haven't been tagged for anything in a long while so this was fun!

1. Are you named after anyone?

I supposedly am named after a daughter that my grandmother on dad's side miscarried. She and grandad ended up with two sons but there should have been a girl in the middle.

2. when was the last time you cried?

Shed a couple of tears about an hour ago when watching the last two episodes of Derry Girls.

3. Do you have kids?

Absolutely not, nor do I want any.

4. Do you use sarcasm?

Oh no, absolutely never!

5. What's the first thing you notice about people?

How annoying they are.

6. What's your eye color?

Blue.

7. Scary movies or happy endings?

I can't watch scary movies unless it's in the middle of the day in the summertime, so I guess happy endings. Mind you: I loathe romance movies, so it has to be drama with happy endings. But the ending has to make sense, you know?

8. Any special talents?

I don't really know what this means. I taught myself to knit and that's pretty special to me, but a gazillion people worldwide knit better than I do.

9. Where were you born?

In a hospital.

10. What are your hobbies?

Knitting. Ashtanga yoga. Used to do kung-fu for 12 years but then the pandemic came and when practice started again in 2021 I had grown lazy. Still miss it though.

11. Have you any pets?

I live with the best cat in the world <3

12. What sports do you play/ have you played?

See above: kung-fu. I hated all sports and avoided them like the plague until I found kung-fu. Not that I consider it a sport per se, it's more of a very physical philosophy in the same way yoga is.

13. How tall are you?

Around 162-164 cm, I have no idea.

14. Last book you read?

A book on knitting by a knitter. It was a simple, quick read. Nothing special.

15. Dream job?

I don't dream about working.

[vegalores]

Thank you @cmdrcuriosity for tagging me! :D

1. Are you named after anyone?

Yea, my Mum has always been a huge fan of Elvis, so she named me after his only daughter and I'm pretty fond of my name.

2. When was the last time you cried?

I think I cried this afternoon watching a puppy tribute on tiktok 'cause those almost always get me sobbing, even more so if I followed the account.

3. Do you have kids?

Nah, never wanted children but did always say if it ever happened then I'd pray for a boy, lmao. I do consider Sammi my baby, though <3 love that white ball of floof <3

4. What sports do you play/have played?

Growing up I absolutely loved playing tennis and swimming at the local pools. I have not done either one of those since I was about 15, so it's been a hot second.

5. Do you use sarcasm?

Yes I do and generally get into a lot of shit for it, but that's okay, lmao.

6. What’s the first thing you notice about people?

Either their eyes or their hair.

7. What’s your eye color?

They were very blue when I was born but with age they've gone a blue/grey colour.

8. Scary movies or happy endings?

I actually like both, depending entirely on the mood I'm in when I'm choosing what to watch, so it differs. I love horror movies and am always on the hunt for something to genuinely frighten me, but besides E.T., nothing has achieved that goal. I also love a good happy ending, cause it wins the fight against the misery of life sometimes, lol.

9. Any talents?

I would say writing, thanks to the kind words and encouragement received from friends and family and teachers over the years. It would be nice to one day actually write a novel and earn success with that venture, or perhaps just fill a book with shorter stories and sell that. That would be a lovely goal to achieve.

10. Where were you born?

A lovely little town just across the river from Liverpool <3

11. What are your hobbies?

Can I list writing as a hobby, too? I also really like reading, baking and annoying my partner on a daily basis without much effort, lmao.

12. Do you have any pets?

Nope, but I consider Sammi mine as well as my Grandad's, especially since my Nan passed last year. I think she misses the female company and also know she loves me as much as I love her <3 when we eventually move to a more suitable property, I plan to adopt her and give my Grandad a sort of prolonged respite.

13. How tall are you?

5'4"

14. Favorite subject in school?

English Language and English Literature <3

15. Dream job?

Novelist, blogger, archaeologist, crystal healer :)

15 Mutuals, 15 (+ bonus) Questions

Tagged by @space-cadead. I'm woefully out of the loop with how active most of my mutuals are, so if you see this, it's an open invitation to participate yourself!

Questions after read more for the sake of everyone's dashboard:

1. Are you named after anyone?

Both my given and middle name are for my maternal great-grandmother and great-great-grandmother. However, the name I find more interesting is what I wasn't named. See, my grandad loved the name Vincent. Even had it tattooed on him, and would have named his first-born son Vincent. Except he had two daughters. So he made my mum promise that if she had a son, she would name him Vincent...and I didn't come with a bio penis so I got a more feminine name instead. Given that I'm determined the family line dies with me, I don't think my grandad will be getting his 'descendant called Vincent' wish fulfilled, unless he doesn't mind a fictional Vincent in a future writing project? A book is kinda like a baby, right?

2. When was the last time you cried?

Probably December? Working retail at Christmas is really rough anywhere, but at a toy shop, it's very high pressure.

3. Do you have kids?

One very beloved tuxedo cat who is very happy to be an only child with no human siblings.

4. Do you use sarcasm a lot?

No, absolutely never. Not one single time in my whole life have I ever been sarcastic and sassy and I certainly don't have an entire t-shirt that claims that sarcasm is my second language. /s

5. What’s the first thing you notice about people?

Any major difference that they have that's 'unusual' compared to most people. I'm very faceblind so I tend to use things like hairstyle, clothing choices or voice to reliably recognise people...though most people can and will change those things on a regular basis. Personally, I love more outlandish styles and hair colours - it makes life much easier for me!

6. What’s your eye color?

Green/brown

7. Scary movies or happy endings?

Happy endings, but make them work for it.

8. Any special talents?

I don't really feel like I have a particular talent for anything. I have plenty of creative hobbies, but I feel like anything I can make is the result of lots of mistakes and practice and research. But I'm willing to try my hand at lots of things: resin craft, pixel art, photography, lampwork (glass), papercraft, sound mixing, video editing...I'm very much the jack of all trades. The difficulty is staying with something long enough to finish a larger project.

9. Where were you born?

Rural Wales. If you point out any castles, standing stones or ruined abbeys within a hundred miles or so, I've probably been there!

10. What are your hobbies?

Naturally writing, and all the aforementioned creative hobbies, but also gaming. Big fan of interesting narratives and puzzle-based games.

11. Have you any pets?

My problem child, Blackadder the cat, who is both very smart and very silly, so I think he lives up to his name well.

12. What sports do you play/have played?

I am very much not a sportsperson. In school, we were forced to play hockey and netball, but that was more years ago than I really want to admit...

13. How tall are you?

Somewhere a little taller than 150cm but not by that much.

14. Favorite subject in school?

I had an amazing Sociology teacher who loved challenging our expectations and showing us new cultures as best he could in a very rural Welsh school. His passion was truly infectious and I sincerely hope he's having an amazing life, wherever he is now.

15. Dream job?

Independently published (and moderately to wildly successful) author who is somehow entirely anonymous outside of their body of work.

16. Do you prefer owls, capybaras, or flamingos? 

There are so many different species of owls that I'm going to go owls. There are tiny little Burrowing owls, huge European owls, or the silent graceful Barn owls we're more likely to see in the wild near me.

17. What is your favorite soup?

Maybe not technically a soup, but I make a damn good chilli chicken ramen if I do say so myself!

18. What is your favorite…rock (idfk)?

Blue John is a very particular mineral found close to some of my family members and when it's cut and polished it's got a very beautiful blue/purple crystal structure. I've been down a lot of the different mines where it has been found, so I have a bit of an appreciation of the history and how the discovery and sale of it has influenced the local area for the better.

19. Choose a familiar: 1) very dumb, very loving disobedient dog. He loves you but will never listen to you ever 2) a raven that speaks but it only ever shrieks the name of various fast food restaurants 3) a toad that screams like a teenage boy instead of croaks

Raven. I can never decide on what to eat, and I feel like this would be a lot easier if someone just shouted the answer at me.

20. Which planet do you feel like would be kind of an asshole if you met them? 

Jupiter. Why have you got so many moons, huh? Why do we only get the one? Ours is lonely, I think she needs a girlfriend. I think at least one of Jupiter's moons would be happier over here.

21. if you were a worm would you love me? this worm question courtesy of ✨ @/legiomiam✨

No, but only because I think I would be beyond the capacity for emotions more complex than 'this dirt is so moist and delicious, this is amazing'.

22. Least favorite type of clothing?

High heels. I never learnt to walk in them, and I care about my comfort too much to want to learn now!

23. You are now in a horror movie—so sorry. Chance of survival?

On the one hand, I'm an anxious mess who can't handle watching many horror movies. On the other hand, I do cope with IRL crises well at the time and then panic later. And I am handy with power tools. So I think I'll just manage to survive the worst, manage to hunker down with any other survivors and just when I think we're safe and I'm distracted, that's when the horrors will get me.

24. Would you rather: the ability to instantly grow a perfect mustache, or ability to talk to vegetables?

Moustache. Take my 'what is gender?' vibes to the next level. And I'm tired of shaving my pathetic little wispy one away. I don't mind the facial hair, I mind that it's patchy and inconsistent!

25. What do you think of whales?

They're just chilling out in the ocean in their family groups and singing long-distance conversations with each other and I think we could learn a lot from that.
