[soft-cryptids]

I originally followed you years ago because your art is top tier but stuck around because there’s just something about your vibe 💯💯🔥💥😎

awww Nonnie, thank you so much <3 I feel like I've got the feral raccoon in a dumpster vibe. Let's both just enjoy it, then!

[and-make-it-double]

js watched the update vid and how we feeling fellas?

[ghostpunkrock]

many things I love about bfu. this we all know well. one of those things is when shane makes a really bad joke or pun and ryan gives a neutral to negative reaction cuz like. you know that’s like the third or fifth take they did of that they had to cut the 10 minutes he spent giggling before that

As someone who got super into Markiplier and Jacksepticeye in 2017 yeah they are also Victims of rpf. *shudder*

i think the consensus here should be that only youtubers should be seriously worried about rpf

simply a poll spawned as a result of my curiosity. ive bounced around a lot in the past four years, and there are more i could have mentioned if there were more poll options (i.e ghostbusters, dc, the walking dead, pirates of the carribean) but i'll leave it at this. tried to put it in chronological order of oldest to newest for those that have been around my blog for a while

[days-since-the-hotdaga]

It has now been 1809 days without the hotdaga

And it has now been 741 days without me letting you know how many days its been

Strange to reminisce over a gimmick blog 2 years after not posting on it but here I am. I spent years so fixated on buzzfeed unsolved that I was essentially a walking encyclopaedia for it, able to tell you what happened in each episode cause it was kinda all I had! I ran this blog and posted exclusively about bfu on my main blog during a pretty shit part of my life and, although it was just silly shit like this blog, it helped me get through those couple years. I kinda just up and left this blog during my recovery but I’ve been trying to bring closure to everything that was going on during my feeling like death era and since I haven’t posted about bfu on my main blog in years it feels a bit out of place to do it there. So thank you to everyone who sent asks to here and participated in the silliness that was this blog, thanks to Ryan and Shane and everyone who worked on bfu for keeping me going and thank you to everyone at @wearewatcher for the great stuff they’re making now

Cheers

What's your fav trope to write about in fanfic? Or read?

Hey. Sorry to keep you waiting, but I had to think on this one for awhile.

So my favorite thing to write in fanfic- and I'm not sure if this is technically a trope, but TV Tropes a page for it, so I'm gonna go with it- is actually Original Characters. I have them in pretty much all of my fanfics, and even more in the ones that I've thought about but haven't written/posted for whatever reason. -Both of my GI fics have OCs who come in, start the plot moving, and bond with the main characters to an extent. -My discontinued HP fic, one of my unwritten GoT fics and the BN fic that I'm planning all center around female OCs with strong and (hopefully) interesting personalities. (These are probably my favorite type of OCs, which might be why my fic-writing has been so inconsistent for years now. I came of age in the era of fandom where major female OCs were automatically Mary Sues, or at least Cringe, and that's something I've had to get past.) -My BFU/VM crossover and my NPS one-shot are outliers. You could argue that the crossover has some of the vibes because it's Ryan and Shane reacting to VM canon as outsiders. Not so much with the one-shot because that's just about a canon couple that I was obsessed with.

So I write a lot of OCs, and in trying to figure out why, I think it's a mix of things: -Bleeding over from my original writing -It's a fun way to explore the canon's world -It's a nice way to shake up the character dynamics -If you're gonna put your favorite little guys in situations, they're gonna meet new people, and you might as well make those people interesting

As for reading, I don't really have any favorite tropes that I can think of. I am picky about my fanfics, but it's more about whether they're well-written and if the characters feel right.

This was longer and more analytical than you might've expected. I hope that's okay.

I followed you BECAUSE of dsmp back in the day. Your blog has like eras to me I was here for the bfu, the willam afton part one, ultrakill, William afton part two….I am the world’s strongest solider

I separate MYSELF into hyperfixation eras so um. shakes ur hand. solemnly

[izzyspussy]

So anyway, since Not Just Us (the "demon"/superhero thing) is inspired by bfu-era shyanfic, here's how an Unsolved episode with Shane as a "demon" in the NJU universe would go lol.

Ryan: How can you not believe in demons when you're- Uh.

Shane: [not offended because he knows where Ryan's heart is, but you can tell he would be upset if someone else had said it] I'm?

Ryan: [stuttering] I mean, obviously, not, like. The, that kind, that's. Offensive. But I mean, like, if there's one kind, like a regular nice kind like you-

Shane: [smugly amused] You've never called me nice before in your life.

Ryan: -then it stands to reason there would be an evil version, too.

Shane: No it doesn't. Because first of all, that's not how the world works. Ghosts are not real, coincidences are. And secondly, I'm just- I mean, maybe I'm not human, as in the species homo sapiens - which is not even true going by DNA by the way - but I'm still a normal living organism. You know, I was born and I'll die and in between I still have to eat and sleep and piss and shit and get my yearly flu shot. [Ryan laughing] I'm not some kind of- some kind of spiritual dirty cop, or-

Ryan: "Spiritual dirty cop"?!

Shane: Yeah, I mean, that's what- What, they entrap you into [air quotes] "sin" so that their boss- Well, their bosses; the Executioner doesn't have a job without the Judge-

Ryan: Oh my god. We can't air any of this.

the covid era of bfu is so funny they had to sit so far apart from each other and they’re clearly so antsy about it. those guys are like magnets I think they subconsciously drift towards each other from across a room
