☕️ something that YOU have been wanting to yap about, but haven’t had the floor. Until now 🤞🏽
…that's a dangerous question anon…why would you give me this power…
...also this is going to be a little long so hold onto your bananapants. 🤔
I’ve alluded to Brooks being wholesome off court many times despite him being a Certified Cunt™ on court but I've never talked about it in detail. Partially because I wasn’t sure how, and I wasn’t sure if he would behave for a whole season (he did…mostly).
So anyway with that being said, let’s go all the way back to October/November. It was a cursed time, and somehow I stumbled into reading about this villainous guy: more here. But I was intrigued as to why Brooks was Like That and what he was *really* like off court...and I do love researching things. 😭💀
The first time I bumped into wholesomeness was this post-game conference (linked to exact time), where he talks about his favourite holiday being Xmas and goes on about his favourite holiday movie and how he loves this cinnamon roll-ish recipe. I was like, “Hm...that seems too wholesome for you.”
But...he's often smiling in a lot of Grizzlies photos with teammates and with other Canadian and/or Oregon Duck players (who he sometimes swaps jerseys with).
And while on the Rockets, Vanessa Richardson, Rockets sideline reporter, described him as the nicest (at 1:13), while grumpy VanVleet put in a nice word for him to the Canadian reporters (who all love Brooks btw). Even Team Canada's GM (aka RJ's dad), Rowan Barrett loves him and don't even get me started on all his coaches. 💀
...but then I went into his Twitter account.
He doesn’t use it anymore, so it’s like a fun little archive in there. When I first went in there, I thought it would be like Morant or Dray’s Twitter, with quote tweets of wanting the smoke and delusional statements. Nah. He’s just a little guy in there... 😭😭
I didn’t have this guy wholeheartedly supporting his teammates and his old college teammates and his Canadian teammates and my beloved Toronto Raptors team on my 2023 bingo card. Also, if you weren’t convinced that he’s Canadian, going down his old Twitter will convince you.
His rookie branding was Being Canadian in Memphis. He loves Canada SO MUCH. 🇨🇦✨
here is Dillon on the Canada's Court podcast while hosting a basketball camp in New Brunswick...while wearing a Home is Canada sweater, bc of course he is 😭
Here he is making poutine. Here’s an interview he did with Canadian Grizzlies’ sideline reporter KJ Wright where he talks about Canadian stuff. Why are all of his quotes about all the Canadian players so wholesome? Did you know he was Canadian? Maybe I should link another Canadian themed article just to make sure! 💀
I would go on, but I won’t. The wholesomeness is a jarring experience — even my mutuals are like, “What the heck?” when I inevitably satisfy their curiosity about this guy. Even now, it's still jarring - although I'm more used to it now.
And yes, he's still evil to me, and still obnoxious and at times delusional, but I do enjoy that he is this wholesome off court. I love that he’s that Canadian, and that he prefers to work with Canadians and do mostly Canadian interviews. Even though he’s unfortunately from my city, I enjoy that he loves that place anyway.
Hopefully in the upcoming season, he smiles a little bit more, but he will probably continue to be menacing and be a villain most likely.
That’s fine. I’ve always enjoyed a good villain anyway. 🤷🏽♀️

🔥 the old guard
Send me a “ 🔥 “ for an unpopular opinion.
I actually like how the men in the movie have like, normal bodies? they're not like RIPPED to the point where you think the actors really need a glass of fucking water, and like they are in shape but it's realistic and I think we need more of that, especially in action genres

OMG YOU FINALLY CHANGED YOUR PFP AFTER 84 YEARS WHAT IS THIS NEW ERA???
Hahaha, well, not quite new era! Rather, a regress xD I just decided to use 'glitchy' aesthetic for a bit, since I keep comparing myself with a malfunctioning robot anyway and think the world is a simulation... Don't worry, your regular lake/stars vibe will return someday xsdjhfs
^^^ This is my fanart from long ago, like, 2017, for a different fandom. 'Tabeleine' is a concept I liked, where character Adeleine (yep that's her name xd) would get roped into being an employee for HolyNightMare corporation! She is a magical artist girl that can make paintings made on an easel alive; here though, she would instead use a tablet! Here, check out this BITCHIN fake screenshot I doodled:
So yeah, I was looking for a new icon but nothing from my current art felt fitting. (or maybe I do not value my 'new' art enough...) I really loved exploring unusual concepts back then! ...I still do, but it is harder with BB, because you have to hold 500000 lore bits in mind at the same time and they consume all the RAM.
Also! The guy in glasses is not a human xD That's why he is so 'low'. But I used to absolutely admire this type of appearance. You could probably tell which design that obsession influenced in the end... >:3
