the missing member is such a great episode, with so many incredible moments. i was hooked from the very first song. jess's vocals and the introduction of zach's character were pure gold already
zach just standing there, the perfect image of a cynical, brooding detective, letting mano light his cigarette, before jess came in with the "he's not smoking, that's a vape..." line (while she's desperately trying not to laugh). and then he immediately names the character darren vapes
the names in general were hilarious. the obvious ones being darren vapes, mayor laguardia and mayor newark airport but scarlet easylay in the beginning was pretty funny as well
then there was the mild homoeroticism of the catch me if you can song, and the way more blatant homoeroticism of the song between darren and mandy
there are so many other things (like the hamster wheels and jess's long note during catch me if you can and the urchins) but the true highlight for me was zach constantly monologuing at the camera. cracks me up every single time. he embodied that character perfectly
anyway i just needed to talk about this episode
#alice and john seemed a bit hesitant at the beginning but once they got into it the ball really started rolling#the major newark airport reveal was great#play it by ear#dropout#zach reino#jess mckenna#the missing member#missing member

I’m obsessed with the latest play it by ear. I know I say this about every new episode but I have the object permanence of a baby and at any given time my favorite episode of Play it by Ear is the last one I watched.

this deadass made me scream-laugh so hard i started crying and asphyxiating there's something wrong with me
VD: a clip from play it by ear featuring zach reino and john hartman. zach is mimicking holding a vape and john a broom. they act dramatically reminiscent of a noir. zach gestures with his hand and head, growing more frantic as he speaks and both of them starting to crack as a result. the lighting is purple. End VD.

"I had choice paralysis :(" is a KILLER line.
He's such a comedic powerhouse, I'm glad more people are getting exposed to him :'D
#smosh#smosh pit#tntl#shayne topp#zac oyama#tommy bowe#try not to laugh#dropout#smosh tntl 149 for anyone looking for the full video! since this took off :)#okay this broke containment noticeably so some additional context for anyone wondering#guy in trench is zac oyama. extremely funny comedian. he's on a streaming service called dropout. I advise looking up 'Make Some Noise' on#yt and watching the full episodes/compilations available for free there#He is in a youtube video with Smosh cast in an improv format they do called 'Try Not To Laugh'. Smosh cast folks are also very funny- a good#proportion of them at this point are also prifessional comedians. There are other Try Not To Laugh videos. a LOT of them. they can be#hit or miss but a lot of them are quite good (blind pairs or the musical episodes are all pretty good)#Smosh has multiple channels- this one is called Smosh Pit ajd also has other stuff they do. Challenge Pit is also quite funny. there is also#smosh games channel. smosh cast channel. and the main smosh channel#tbh i recommend looking up compilations of cast members to figure out what content you might find compelling but they make a pretty broad#spread of stuff at this point so odds are decent youll find something funny. esp if you already watch dropout :)#ok infodump over. glad ppl are having fun with this lol

🎵Oh so ahead of his time... he's not smoking, that's a vape.🎵
Some low-quality gifs to celebrate Darren Vapes Thursday, anyone?

mourning black and the death of ideals
#i haven't moved on from this yet. btw. i'm still here#finally decided to draw the thought i've been ruminating over for days on end bc it's like a parasite eating away my brain#stated this on the initial post i made days ago but there's just smt so gut wrenching and sickening#about how dazai will have worn black exactly twice in his life: once as a member of the mafia and now at kunikida's funeral#a color that initially signified devotion to the mafia and his demon prodigy alias now signifies his grief#him having to wear black again at the funeral of another doomed fatalist who chose his heart over his survival. his own partner.#kunikida's death being so reminiscent of the tragedy that initially caused him to defect and flee#and everything tying together full circle and effectively breaking him#asagiri rly said fuck knkdz it's doppover we lost gang 😭😭😭#why did bro leave that fucking notebook behind#fool. do you know that angst potential you have left me to work with?#love never won in bsd. it lay dead and festering#i don't know how much longer i can keep saying i miss them. i'm going to kill myself if he doesn't come back#i've never wanted something to be death bait so desperately#bungou stray dogs#bungo stray dogs#bsd#dazai osamu#osamu dazai#kunikidazai#knkdz#kunizai#(??? technically. its implied anyway)#lotus draws
