HORROR IS A TEENAGE GIRL

Your daughter's first period is the time to go insane. Blood blood blood! Now dawns the horror of puberty, the horror of sexuality, the horror of girls becoming women. Daughters are in league with the devil — never let them out of your sight. They'll get lovers, they'll get notions, they'll move out and leave you. If you resist, they'll respond in kind. They'll kill you when they get the chance.

Carrie, IT Ch 1, Red Riding Hood, Pearl, The Vvitch, Lizzie.

Whooo!!! I've been sitting on this one a while. Okay so. First of all disclaimer that I did not make this in a bioessentialist way. Period =/= woman. Trans women are women. Trans men are men. And in fact I think this works on even more levels if watched through a trans lens.

Once, I attended a lecture analyzing Little Red Riding Hood through the lens of it being a story about getting your first period, and how the girl moves through childhood to adulthood. The wolf is the specter of sex, which makes sense if you've ever seen/listened to Into The Woods. The seed of that idea got planted, and then I watched a bunch of horror movies :4)

A lot of society AND obviously movies equate first period = becoming a woman = sensuality/sex = bad. And there are various ways the films I chose fight back against/embrace in order to deconstruct those tropes! Because obviously that correlation is. not true. But this amv is mostly about parents using the perceived threat of their children becoming adults against their children as a vector of abuse. (Not all of these movies have every beat of this in them, but I think they hang together in the same general shape. I have a million thoughts on each movie but that would make this pages long!!)

Buuut ofc it is about periods/puberty a little bit too :-) how puberty is a horror show, "becoming a woman" (whether you want to or not) is a horror show... and ofc how being trans or not your agab makes puberty even MORE of a horror show than it is anyway. Sometimes you become a woman and that's bad, sometimes you reject becoming a woman and that's good. sometimes you become a woman and that's good except everyone around you thinks it's bad. So..... anyway watch my amv :3

God, Not What He Seems being 10 years old is really affecting me.

And what's even crazier is that the midpoint between then and now was roughly when COVID lockdowns started.

[cupidsncheerios]

i think that like, in contrast to how voxval treat their fanon ipad baby, if radiostatic had a kid they'd be maliciously attentive parents

like they're so far into the old married couple phase that they would argue about how to care for the child instead of caring for the child, while in front of the child

SiIvaGunner SmashUp! 2 behind-the-scenes and/or post-mortem

Hello folks, I'm back on my bullshit here to talk about the thing I did. Check it out here if you haven't yet.

Work on SiIvaGunner SmashUp! 2 began almost right after the first one. Technically. It took a while for the wind of post-SmashUp hype to run out, but in that time, I started working on some of the new contestants, including Gedagedi, Pomni, Barbie, and some cut characters. Click "Keep reading" to see an early video recorded in May 2024.

After this, however, the burnout finally set in and I had to set things aside. I occasionally worked on SmashUp over the next few months, but work didn't really pick back up until November. Most of the characters who made the cut were either made or finished between Thanksgiving and the start of January. Why nothing after the start of January? Well, it's simple.

That's right! Those greedy fucks over at 2K decided to shut the servers for the game down. Being a mostly offline game, this doesn't affect most things, but one thing it does affect is that images can no longer be sent to the game using their online tool. This is bad for creating characters with complex or distinct textures; many wrestlers featured in SmashUp! use this function to some degree. This was already delayed from September 2024, so I lucked out, but it didn't give me a lot of time to finish every thing. It also meant that the new logo for SmashUp! 2 needed to be a bit of a rush order, but thankfully the wonderful @cherrystar-art was able to complete the task in time, as she had last year.

Since people always ask me about who got cut, a short list is as follows:

Jeffy (problematic)

Puppymonkeybaby (too many animals next to 8-Bit Beast, Naxx, Doge, Brainless Kitty)

Kuromi (too difficult to make look good)

Omori (made and forgot about him oops)

John Notwoodman (looked funny, but might show up in the future)

Inspector Gadget (got cut because getting his jacket accurate was too difficult. At one point a female version of him got made because the women have better jacket choices, but it wouldn't show up in-ring because of quirks of the game, and what is Inspector Gadget without the jacket?)

Burnice, a popular request, was never seriously considered as a contestant, especially since by the time most people were asking, the project was almost done. Also, complex anime designs look bad without putting in a lot of effort. Maybe next time, if WWE 2K25 wills it. (Disclaimer: the following image was made on a lark way after the fact.)

Once all the characters were done, it was time to record the matches. Well, not before giving all the new people entrances and movesets, but I don't have fun stories about that. Here's some fun inside scoop about the matches though:

Gedagedi vs Numberphile was one of the first non-Rumble matches that got decided. It was brainstormed and recorded before Numberphile got resurected, which is why the video still treats him as being dead.

Nutshackwoodman34 vs Naxx & Doge was (I believe) suggested by @keeby10 during the production of the Susie ARG and, by extention, Mystery of the Silcret Gunner. Reader was actually considered for the first SmashUp, and even had a wrestler started in his image, but the motivation to finish him wasn't there until work on NSWM34 content started up again. Despite the idea for Reader narrating the match being conceived as early as January, it was the last thing recorded for the video, and was edited days before its debut.

The Halfway-to-Halloween match was inspired by the potential idea of an SGW Halloween special which never panned out (maybe in the future). Despite being the most obscure entrant, The Mummer was actually one of the first wrestlers created for SmashUp! 2.

I don't have much to say about the Grand Rumble, but I will note that having Gangsta Mario at 7 and The Other Grand Dad at 17 were intentional. I also tried to keep to a good balance of old and new wrestlers, and most of the cuts and returns were decided on by an internal poll.

I also flirted with the idea of SmashUp! 2 having a "Fanchannel InVasion" angle starring crossovers with channels such as TTGD or Vavr, but this also never panned out because I was too scared to ask for permission, or something. I guess Barbie kinda sorta came out of this idea, but she was kept because of the movie tie-in event and SiIva more or less creating Scary Barbie!!!111!!!!. Maybe in the future?

Outside of the aforementioned Nutshackwoodman34 match, editing was slightly more straightforward this year than the year before, partly because of the experience of the previous year and the ability to re-use elements. That being said, it was still hella stressful to get done good and on-time. But I guess I did it? There's a few parts that could've used more time looking over, which were mostly the victim of an event you will read about in two paragraphs.

I would also like to quickly talk about the commentary team. Trofflesby and SSB_Seal both reprised their roles as Breen Gonda and Randall Shields, respectively, and I don't know about you, but I think this year ended up even better than the last. It was also wonderful working with @alexrochonva for the role of the ring announcer, even if it was basically me just giving him a list of lines and telling him to go to town LOL. While Chase Beck was meant to return in the role of a commentator, logistics didn't quite line up in the end, but I do hope that he can appear again in the next SmashUp (sorry again Chase I will make it up to you eventually). I would also like to shout out Janne Sala and Willie Weasel for reprising their roles as Naxx and Doge, especially since Doge hadn't appeared on SiIvaGunner in over half a decade. AND ZACH BECAUSE HE IS FUNNY

Unfortunately, tragedy struck the literal day before SmashUp! 2 was meant to be premiered. While I was working on the final touches of the video, one of my laptop's fans started malfunctioning, and while I was able to get the video rendered out and on YouTube, it was very stressful, and unfortunately put a damper on the premiere for me. But, people seem to like the end result, so maybe it was worth it? IDK. I don't like that my computer almost cooked itself to death, so. Right now I'm waiting for Micro Center to finish repairing it but fingers crossed that it goes ok (please send thoughts and prayers).

Anyway, that's SiIvaGunner SmashUp! 2. It was a thing, that happened. I would love to say I'm already working on the next one, but being honest I just want to sleep man. So until next time, Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

I'm just figuring out how important music is in my life! This is coming from a long while trying to cut down on my music use, mostly because I was listening to it so much that it felt more like I couldn't do anything without popping in some earbuds, and partially because of other personal reasons. Some of my routines changed, forcing me to not listen to music while doing certain things, and it ended up becoming that besides working on homework or drawing, I didn't listen to music at all. But I've given myself a break today since I have nothing to do and since, for reasons, I'm feeling just a lil crappy today—and boy, I'm starting to realize again just why I love music!!

I love the diverse music taste I've developed over the years! My family is not only big about music but big about listening to it loud, so the majority of my music taste for most of my life has just been Christian hiphop (Lecrae, KB, Andy Mineo, Trip Lee, and ironically Tonex, whose album where he was struggling hard with his gayness has been my favorite concert movie since I was 5) and gospel music (Kirk Franklin, Tye Tribbett, etc.). And music was one of the few connections between me and my race (I grew up feeling pretty estranged from my blackness as a kid, but the popular songs they played at the YMCA in the 2010s were some of the few things I could use to feel more connected) and between me and my classmates/friends at the Y (I still have fond memories of playing FNAF songs in mat forts and reciting lyrics at pool parties). But I got tired of knowing I could never bond with anyone besides family friends music taste-wise when I was in high school, and so I started listening to secular music on my own time. And that's how I first found Ghost and Pals, a vocaloid artist and one of the first secular music folks I listened to as a kid (can you smell the religious trauma yet? Lol), and that's how I bonded with one of my best friends in early college (ironically, also my first time being publically queer). Now I listen to Kpop, anime songs, songs from warriors MAPs, songs from musicals (Hamilton and In the Heights <3), latin songs, metal songs, and even some secular songs young me would've been too scared to listen to.

And music has always been one of my biggest sources of stimming! I can't dance to save my life, but music will sure get me to flick my fingers and hit my fist against my shoulder furiously. Music was one of the first clues that I like stimming with vibration too (since I love laying against the car door and turning up the music loud enough to feel the world shake around me). And music was one of the first things that made me look into ADHD or autism (specifically, listening to Ghost and Pals songs for a month straight and getting my friend at early college [who also has ADHD] to start looking at me funny when I was discovered doing chores and listening to one of three songs for the fifth time). Music is so cool it'll get me to wax poetically. It was one of the things that kept me together during my roughest times and soothed me during my best. I listen to it while I write, while I cry, while I hang out with my friends and family and while I chill by myself. It's how I relax after a long day, and it's how I feel safe. I feel kinda emotional finally having music hit that spot in me without feeling like I need it to do stuff.

The next part of the Little Dead Things thumbnails.

I love them!!!

Whoops 😬 Mild Gore!!

Labelling it in Mal’s blue is a tad misleading: they doesn’t show up too much in the next few parts- and I mean that very literally. She’s there, just not “there” if that makes sense?

I think it’s literary genius to have the romance plot scrambled with the murder plot! Gotta love the duality of man, I think. These seem to get better as I make them when I want to, rather than just trying to make them all at once. Another lesson in not stressing myself. More soon!

Hey did you commit arson on my dash because that mashup is fire 💜

Thank you very much! I genuinely think that save for my megamashups (specifically Super Smashup Ultimate), it's my best work!

Excerpt:

“None of the analogies are very persuasive. This is because we are witnessing something new: the convergence of three strains of politics that have never simultaneously been this proximate to power. Those projects come from different but related places: the Wall Street–Silicon Valley nexus of distressed debt and startup culture; anti–New Deal conservative think tanks; and the extremely online world of anarchocapitalism and right-wing accelerationism. Within the new administration, each strain is striving to realize its desired outcome. The first wants a sleek state that narrowly seeks to maximize returns on investment; the second a shackled state unable to promote social justice; and the third, most dramatically, a shattered state that cedes governing authority to competing projects of decentralized private rule. We are watching how well they can collaborate to reinforce one another. The future condition of the government—and by extension the country—depends on how far the dynamo spins.
