hi uh hello hivemind mutual :) do you have any favorite hivemind videos. like any particular ones you go back to or w/e

YOU BET I DO thank you so much for asking. heres my favorites in no particular order

fiverr impressions w/ ericdoa - this is my most recent favorite i think eric is one of the funniest guests theyve ever had and i need him to be in more episodes

worst songs 3 w/ quadeca - has become a comfort video i just love hearing the 3 of them talk about literally anything

hivemind feud 9 w/ quadeca - some of the funniest little hivemind moments of all time in this one also i really like the part where graydon squishes quads face like this

best tweets of all time tier list (feb 2022) - i watch this one whenever im really really really sad because i cant not laugh at like half of these tweets. kodak black "i support breast cancer" tweet has brought me from the brink of sad tears to the brink of laughing tears many times

reacting to 10 weird sea creatures - extremely biased towards this one because i am a biologist (well i still have a year of undergrad left but whatever) and im really delighted at them discovering animals i have seen with mine own eyes. i wish i could bribe them to make 10 more of these i really want them to learn about some weird bugs like bombardier beetles

also honorable mention to the first weird lyrics video because that was the first hivemind video i ever watched :-) yay yippee

album ask: tallahassee if no one's done it yet!

Hey thank you for the ask!

Best song on the album: it really would be absolute hipster poser behaviour to say anything other than No Children. it may be one of tMG's most popular songs but it is that for a reason. I would say, secondarily, Game Shows Touch Our Lives

Favorite song on the album: Old College Try!! or Oceanographer's Choice <3

Least favorite song on the album: honestly? n/a every song that "isn't my favorite" is a necessary song for the album and thus cannot be my least favorite. That being said, I listen to Alpha Rat's Nest the least of all of them.

Most overrated song on the album: NO CHILDREN. it's real good but it ain't that good, y'all.

Most underrated song on the album: Peacocks or The House That Dripped Blood

Banger of all bangers: SEE AMERICA RIGHT

Rate from 1-10: Tallahassee is a 9. truly.

people who don't follow chess I promise this post is really funny

[ghost-bard]

I've had this theory for a while now, and me n my friend (@nightshadetq ) have talked about it a bit as The Magnus Protocol continues, but I really don't think Alice's indifference to the paranormal/statements/cases ect ect is proof that she like. Has no idea what's going on, or will be in for a rude awakening.

[Note: this post is not free from spoilers up to episode 18]

I think she knows a decent amount of what's actually going on, and is trying to protect Sam (or her uninformed coworkers in general) from getting in too deep.

Other than Lena, who I assume has been the boss since Alice arrived, Alice has worked at the OIAR the longest, "nearly a decade" and has consistently told Sam not to look into anything, to not be curious, and to just do his job, and those moments are when she is the most serious, an odd departure from her typical attitude, very likely a coping or defense mechanism (or survival tactic) on her part.

We also have how she and Colin interact, and her conversation with Teddy in the most recent episode (18 as of writing). While yes, her and Colin's unlikely duo could be in part simply a fun dynamic, grumpy/sunshine, whatever, but we also don't really know what has happened within the last near decade of Alice working at the OIAR. The only person Colin likes is Alice, perhaps because she's the only one he trusts, or maybe they went through something together, that's mostly speculation on my part I'll admit.

What's more interesting is Alice and Teddy's conversation, the weight of Alice calling Teddy a liar, her saying to herself for Teddy to "watch himself" because she's worried. I would point out we have no idea how long Teddy worked at the OIAR, though in episode one there's a mention of "another four years" which implies he's worked there about that amount of time, and so Alice had still worked there the longest.

Honestly it would be weird if Alice hadn't seen weird shit pre-canon given how long she's been there, and that despite the jobs turnover rate hasn't quit despite everything, almost like she's obligated, to the job perhaps not, but maybe to the other people working, given we know that people can and have quit. Of course it could also just be the getting a new job is difficult and she has a younger brother to help out occasionally, but truthfully I find it a bit difficult to believe that being the only reason she wouldn't have quit by now.

Also interesting that the only thing Alice said in response to Gwen talking about Mr. Bonzo, where Sam laughs and thinks she's joking, is after she leaves saying "Curiosity will get you killed, best try and ignore it" wherein Alice clowning on Gwen is what I, at the least, would expect in response. Yes, she questions Gwen interacting with monsters, but she doesn't push her to talk about it, and in fact, gave her an out on what the Externals are.

Considering both Gwen and Sam didn't know about them until 1. Gwen asking Lena to let her "in" and getting work about/for the Externals, and 2. Sam just now being informed. Meanwhile Alice has a fake explanation on what they are, providing Sam with said explanation, therefore shielding him from the truth of the matter, and letting Gwen not have to talk about it, only for Gwen to then say what they actually are. So either Alice already knew what an External was, and lives by the "if you don't know about the real goings on nothing will happen to you" deal and tries to act the part herself, or someone who no longer works at the OIAR AND worked with Externals told her that that was what they were, which I'll admit is also a possibility.

There is also her seeing the drowning victim and her reaction to them. Her primary issue as I remember it was the dead body, given how she implies she hadn't seen a dead body since her parents passed. However, her having a negative reaction to a dead body doesn't mean she hasn't seen other freak shit. There is also the option that she lied about not having seen a dead body since her parents, and she (rightfully) still has an averse reaction to them, though I don't necessarily believe this myself, I am presenting it as an option.

Maybe I'm talking out my ass, but I really don't think Alice has completely avoided everything up until now, especially given how weirdly cagey she is about anyone (mainly Sam, but they have a history so maybe she feels responsible for him in some way) getting curious about what they do, or wanting to look into the cases they receive. If she didn't know anything at all, I don't know why she'd care about someone getting curious about their cases, or at least care as much as she seems to.

@u-f-o-friend tagged me to post 6 albums that I've been listening to recently! Thank you this was very fun :)

Lateralus - TOOL

I'm mad about how good this album is, if you've never listened to it I highly recommend it (especially if you like polyrhythms and weird time signatures)

Hesitation Marks - Nine Inch Nails

An underrated NIN album, my favorite tracks are 'In Two' and 'Various Methods of Escape'

Dear Wormwood - The Oh Hellos

This album holds a special place in my heart as an ex-catholic who has read a lot of C.S. Lewis and likes folk music

Bleed Out - The Mountain Goats

I saw them live on this tour and it was amazing, my favorite track is 'Bleed Out'

Rumours - Fleetwood Mac

I don't feel like I need to explain this one, just genuinely one of the best albums ever made, also #divorce

Vivaldi: The Four Seasons - Europa Galante

This specific recording of The Four Seasons is incredible, if you like Vivaldi check it out

I will tag @goodfellowss @coolerpatrol @milomezt @nightshadetq and @confusedhandbag, + anyone else who would like to participate

helloooo: kaiji with 3 4 an 5 for the recent ask game?

Yay thank you!! Asks here!

3. Least favorite canon thing about this character?

I adore Kaiji so completely tbh. His flaws are perfect and he wouldn't be Kaiji without his flaws! Okay here's a dumb one, he changes his cool red bomber jacket out for less rockin fits later on. That sucks! Put it back.

4. If you could put this character in any other media, be it a book, a movie, anything, what would you put them in?

The FKMT girlies have me wanting him to cavort about with Akagi. But more generally putting Kaiji into any other flavour of death games sounds like fun. I like Kaiji the best when hes Enduring.

5. What's the first song that comes to mind when you think about them?

Bullet with butterfly wings!!!!!!!! Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage!!!!!! tell me thats not his anthem.

[thelackofsleep]

people i'd like to get to know better

hiiii thank you for tagging me!! @asathorin <3

Last Song: who wears the pants?? - soko. a little bop

Favorite Color: oh it's blue. it's definitely blue. i know, i know, nothing about my blog would give that away, like ever. so unexpected!

Currently Watching: blue eye samurai (on ep 3), and also summer strike (k-drama, on ep 4).

Last Movie/Show: technically talented mr. ripley (1999) but i haven't finished it yet! i'm an elder now, so it takes me two business days to finish watching movies over 1.5 hours. last show would be the bear, i think! (i loved it a lot)

Spicy/Savory/Sweet: i think spicy. but really, my favorite is sour. i guess spicy is a close second. recently, i tried eating fruits with tajín (a famous mexican chili/lime seasoning) and it was delicious. so yea, spicy AND sour!

Last Thing You Googled: "slumber etymology" lol. i have this thing with wanting to know the etymology for any given word (especially people's names. i don't know why but i'm very curious about those. if we're friends, i've probably asked you about your name's meaning/etymology or looked it up on my own to satisfy my curiosity)

i'll tag some people but feel free to not do this if you don't want!!! @yourhxme, @repressionrepresentation, @doesnotsvffice, @sangna, @nightshadetq, @lemcake, @draftmonologue
