No because I KNEW Mike Faist was from newsies (thanks Tumblr) and I really let the "Mike Faist from Dear Evan Hansen" crowd drown out my primordial knowledge
#i have not seen the movie#i have not seen deh#I HAVE seen newsies but like 7 years ago#so when I say that i ONLY knew from seeing him on this hellsite 10 years ago i mean it#i simply do not think y'all understand how big newsies was if you weren't there#and then the barricade boys happened a couple years later#and then of course miku binder Thomas Jefferson#I'm sorry this is just the succession in my brain

gimmick blog for cataloging posts (videos, images, texts, whatever) that have altered your vocabulary in some way. adding a word or phrase, obliterating the tumblr linguistic biosphere, etc. you can nominate posts by tagging or asking if you want to. (if u dont send a link in an ask, i'm probably not going to go looking for the post, but i might keep an eye out.)
whether or not i reblog a tagged post is up to my discretion. if it's one i haven't seen before but that i can easily picture Changing Something, it gets added. specific fandom references probably won't make the cut unless they're truly groundbreaking (such as miku binder thomas jefferson).
#outside nomination - someone else sent this in
#personal nomination - this one came across my dash, or i sought it out, or it was on my hit list and someone sent it to me
more info below the cut
other tags include #phrases, #words, and #characters. phrases and words are probably self-explanatory but for characters it's for when a person or other entity is made up and tumblr latches onto them/it for fun, such as cousin throckmorton or goncharov.
#bonus hit is for posts that permanently changed the way people talk on this side or stuff that is still being referenced years later. #combo hit is for if the entire post (multiple words/phrases/whatever) is insane enough to be referenced or thought about for years. if the entire post is one sentence or sentences that are unrelated to each other it doesn't get the combo hit tag because that is, by definition, not a combo.
main blog is nickel-alloy so youll occasionally see me reblogging posts from there if the source of the linguistic injection cannot be reblogged from for one reason or another. if i reblog from you it's likely that yours was the most recent clean reblog i could find without doing too much scrubbing.
yes i have autism. pronouns are he/they or something
HIT LISTS OF POSTS THAT ARE GOING ON THIS BLOG (as soon as i find them again):
stabby the roomba (long-standing character)
cinnamon roll too good for this world, too pure (biosphere alteration)
the friendful visitor (arguable biosphere alteration)
death is coming. Death is coming. pass me a hot dog (i personally think about it from time to time)
los feratu (funny)
hear it hurgling (funny)
the grink (funny and true)
vanilla extract (arguable biosphere alteration)
eeby deeby (arguable biosphere alteration)
horse plinko (arguable biosphere alteration)
bidoof's law (biosphere alteration)
okay <3 yay <3 (arguable biosphere alteration)
#vaps.misc#<- fuck it tag for when i posting#i might eventually come up with a better tag than fucking 'vaps' but an acronym will work for now.

not from the usa. what is a wahoo. thank you.
so right before thomas jefferson (of miku binder fame) died he sat down in his evil chair and was like what if there was a university for the evil, the extremely annoying, the perpetually wasted, and those who genuinely believe they might one day become the president of the united states. and that university’s name was university of virginia. and 200 years later i tricked them into giving me two degrees. and our official mascot is the cavaliers but everyone says we are the wahoos because it’s a joke about drinking like fish i think. the end

i think the rtvs half life vr series and the game mouthwashing are two great examples of how fandom interaction has ruined many peoples ability to interact with art normally.
half life vr is a fun machinima esque series done by a bunch of friends who enjoy sharing their creativity online, it aint anything complicated its just friends playing toys. yet somehow Ive seen people try to assign headcanons like the fucking miku binder thomas jefferson to all of the people involved in the production of hlvrai. insane.
mouthwashing is a horrific game about a bizarre nightmare scenario in a bleak future. yet Ive seen people terribly dumb down each character into memeable funny guys as well as make sexual headcanons about them??? keep in mind the main antagonist of the game is a legit rapist and another main character is a rape victim of said antagonist. so idk its kinda weird to be doing this I think.
anyway its ok to interact with art without trying to fandom-ify it or whatever, not every art piece needs headcanons or alternate representation. both of the art pieces I listed were made by real people with effort and emotion, dont be disrespectful by robbing their context from the source material, they worked very hard on it and wanted to show the world what they created.
if you wish for different aspects of what youre presented with then I encourage you to make your own original art inspired off of your favorite series, its not hard and youll be rewarded with your own creativity.

I don't know are you sure there's just always going to be another Dave? Really? REALLY?
there will always be another dave strider but there will never be another terezi, there will never be another kanaya, there will never be another aradia, there will never be another jade harley. so many of the women in homestuck blatantly go against expectation and are so wonderfully unique for it
#dave strider#homestuck#think you're doing my boy dirty#like I understand the point you are making by when it comes to sticking close to gender expectation#but I'm not sure Dave is the paragon of rigidity#DIRK?#There's always another tiresome Dirk#and strip away the specific theatricality there's a lot of shitty Jakes too#(I've somewhat soured on the epilogues in the intervening years but Jake English consistently sucking shit still makes me very happy)#but Dave?#Dave a really distinctive guy whose struggles with masculine expectation over the course of the comic are complex and rare in stories#hells since I'm here one of the reasons June Egbert never worked for me#(besides its innate problem of coming from the Best Not Acknowledged Homestuck_2 era of Homestuck's nadir)#Is that Dave Strider is RIGHT THERE#John is one of the only character in homestuck who ever feels completely comfortable in his own skin and self as a person#He never has the doubts and questions and anxieties others have about his sense of personhood and self-worth and value etc etc#and while none of that is NECESSARY for trasitioning or anything#my boy Dave is right there the goddamn poster boy for the same gender-questioning pipeline that andrew hussie themself went through#Dave always being Andrew's blatant self-insert#And Dave going through the same journey of mid-00s homophobic-jokes edgelord to openly queer person#HE"S RIGHT THERE FOR HEAVEN'S SAKE HOMESTUCK COME THE HELL ON#but then a committee of straight white old cis men from poughkeepsie could have written a better Homestuck 2 than we got#that's how full-body-cringe the whole experience was#remember the hatsune miku binder thomas jefferson hamilton oc?#that's what Homestuck 2 felt like as a work of media#they tried so hard to shoot for the moon they landed among the stars#by which I mean they missed the target so completely they ended in a firey death inside a crushing fusion furnace and everyone went#'hitting the moon isn't all that difficult how can you fuck up that badly?'#while I am thinking aloud we all need more Pesterquest#And Paradox Space

Funniest headcanons?
Okay wow I have so many crack headcanons so prepare yourself. Take every negative thing I’ve ever said abt fanon and throw it out the window, this is about to get so unserious
• Hanako is a fudanshi. This applies to the whole Toilet Gang (except Nene would be called a fujoshi), they’ve got a little book club. Hanako is the most insane about it tho
• Aoi and Akane are a himejoshi/himedanshi couple
• Lemon and Akane smoke weed together on a regular basis (throw back to the time I looked up “slang words for marijuana” for my Terukaneaoi fic and ended up sounding like Skyler White)
• I feel like an average conversation between the Toilet Gang is the most insufferable, out of pocket middle school humor you’ve ever heard in your life. Those four make South Park look like a kids show
• Akane has a random lock of Aoi’s hair on a shelf in his room
• Since the Minamoto father is absent and the mother is dead, Tiara just kind of assumes Teru and Akane are her parents. Instead of correcting her on this, Akane decides to be the dad who stepped up
• Akane is one of those filmbros who does NOT play abt Pulp Fiction (me) (that’s the second time I’ve mentioned that movie in relation to Akane today)
• He’s also the type to ask you to name three Nirvana songs if he catches you wearing one of their shirts and if you even so much as think about saying Smells Like Teen Spirit, he’ll shoot you in the head
• Hanako is lowkey mad Kou and Mitsuba started dating without him
• In the TBHK universe, Mei is the one who drew the Miku Binder Thomas Jefferson image
• Nene writes reader insert fan fiction
• She’s also a BookTok girlie (not one of the really bad ones, just cringy. As in she would unironically love the book boyfriend audio)
• Sakura is rly into disturbing movies and they make Natsuhiko watch them with them just to make him nauseous
• Hanako and Kou jokingly flirt with each other and it makes Mitsuba and Nene genuinely mad. Like Hanako can ruin Mitsuba’s day with a single “I can take your man”
• Yk that one image of Cheryl Blossom wearing an “I ❤️ Boys” shirt? Teru owns that shirt
• Akane is the type of dude to raise his hand during a class discussion and say “I’d like to play the Devil’s Advocate”
• Aoi flirts with waitresses very poorly and it gives Nene severe secondhand embarrassment
• Once a week, Natsuhiko challenges Teru to a fight. She loses every single time
• Nene has one of those traumatic hamster death stories
• Mitsuba’s hair is dyed so whenever he’s being particularly annoying, Tsukasa tells him his roots are showing
• Kou and Nene have had one of those awkward “I have a crush on someone🤭 And it’s someone you know veryyyy well👀” moments
• Sumire used to climb to the highest places she could find to get Hakubo’s attention, and it gave him a mini heart attack each time
• OG Mei had a fursona. It was a dragon
• Yk in Spongebob when Squidward was confirmed to be the most miserable person in all of the Bikini Bottom?? In the TBHK universe that’s Akane except it’s for all of Japan
• Teru has given the “I’m vengeance, I am the knight” speech while exorcizing supernaturals AT LEAST once
• The Minamotos frequently watch Cinderella together bcuz Tiara is obsessed with it, to the point that it’s become Teru and Kou’s favorite movie as well. Teru drags his friends to watch it with him too but Kou refuses to admit he likes it
• Kou chews with his mouth open
• Mitsuba has cheesy romantic fantasies about Kou the same way Nene does about her crushes (I credit this one to one of my TikTok mutuals @/mads)
• Natsuhiko has an ASMR account (just like they do in the Monster Nursery au)
• Tiara doesn’t quite understand the premise of being gay or coming out so every day she congratulates Kou on being bi
• Kou straight up lies to Tiara about things, it’s an older sibling canon event. Teru does the same to Kou. For example I once told my sister you could dilute chocolate milk into regular milk by pouring water in it. And she believed me.
• Despite the fact that Kou’s been friends with them for many years, Teru regularly forgets Yokoo and Satou’s names
• Aoi and Nene’s mothers have a bet on when the two of them will reveal they’re secretly dating
• Mei is one of those ppl who’s allergic to almost everything. You order a plate of shrimp beside her and before it even hits the table she’s like “Keep that FAR away from me”
• Kako was homophobic until meeting Akane. A “I don’t support that lifestyle” kind of homophobe. Before meeting Akane’s baseball bat
• It’s okay tho he supports his bisexual son now!! He goes to pride parades and everything
• Mirai braids Akane’s hair when she’s bored
• Tsuchigomori has never felt the touch of a man
• If you say one bad word about Teru around Kou, you better be prepared for a full monologue. Stan Twitter wishes they could be as dedicated as Kou (Yokoo: I want to kms / Kou: Wait until the next student council election we can’t lose votes)
• To avoid tarnishing her popular girl image by coming off as rude, whenever Aoi wants to leave a conversation with someone she doesn’t like she pretends to faint
• Mitsuba breaks up with Kou every other day
• When Aoi and Nene are having trouble communicating their feelings verbally, they find a wrestling ring and box their feelings out
• Aoi and Nene apply to every job together, they are a package deal
• Kou is the designated bug killer for the Toilet Gang
• Yako can talk to other foxes. But only foxes, no other animals so the power isn’t all that exciting
• Natsuhiko hasn’t picked up on Mitsuba being gay yet so he keeps offering to set him up with girls
• Sakura has been involved in at least (1) unethical psychology experiment in the past. They administered those shocks for Milgram with a completely straight face
• The hands in Mitsuba’s boundary reflect his feelings so every time Kou comes to visit, they jump around him like overexcited dogs
• Tsukasa had a very intense Alvin and the Chipmunks phase
Okay I have homework that’s due in like 2 hours so I’m gonna have to end it there. I hope my terrible sense of humor amused some of you

Dear Mx. Take,
I first heard of your blog's premise whole following the controversial-blorbo-bracket, at which point I thought to myself, "A hot takes bracket? On Tumblr? This sounds like it will rapidly devolve into a hateful slew of bigotry and hateful posts. I do not think I have ever heard of a worse idea for a blog."
I then, by sheer coincidence, ended up following another tournament blog, run by one of your first followers. Eventually, they reblogged to their poll blog several of your hot take polls— I think at this point there was a strong theme of "why on earth would you eat that" hot takes, as well as arguments on whether or not familiarity with Thomas Jefferson Miku Binder was a reasonable baseline expectation of knowledge for a Tumblr user.
At this point I was greatly surprised that not only was your blog avoiding the foreseen fate of becoming a cesspool of rubble and hate, the takes you were posting were actually quite fun. I ended up deciding to follow you at this point, maybe a month or two after the birth of your blog.
I have never regretted this decision. I have even had multiple of my own hot takes published here myself, which was honestly a delight. From hyper-specific video game opinions, to political controversy, to car pseudobiology and pregnancy, your blog has remained a truly ridiculous and joyful part of my dash over the past year.
But what I am writing to you today to express is my most heartfelt gratitude and reverence. It takes an incredible amount of skill to run this kind of blog, in a way that has somehow managed to dive deep into controversial and heated topics, while somehow, seemingly by miracle, maintaining the absolutely ludicrous and improbable atmosphere that makes Tumblr Tumblr.
I mean this truly as sincerely as possible when I say that your entire blog belongs in the Tumblr halls of fame, as a pinnacle example of what a blog on Tumblr should be.
Thank you greatly for your service, and I hope you have a splendid day.
Sincerely and best regards,
- @spaaaaaaaark-uwu
i don't know what to say, you're going to make me cry

I have a confession . . . I do not know the ways of the vocaloid. To me Hatsune Miku is the chick on Thomas Jefferson's binder. Why is she a candidate for the handshake test
Ok, so vocaloid is a music program from Japan that lets you use these preprogrammed voices right? It has a some different voices available, each one has an anime style character that is "singing". Hatsune Miku is, like, the Main Character of the vocaloids.
People love Miku, and the company that makes the program wants to show off what they can do. So they hold these real world concerts where Hatsune Miku "performs". But how do you get an anime character to perform in real life?
Holograms!
Technically, I think it's some kinda Pepper's Ghost effect, but whatever, the fact is that she does NOT possess a physical body and (assuming she has a spirit) theologically there are only three possibilities, 1: she's a premortal spirit, 2: she's a post mortal spirit who hasn't been resurrected yet, or 3: She's a DEMON!👿!!!
It might be ridiculous, but this is the molehill I choose to die on.

One of the weirdest blogs I ever encountered was a Robert E. Lee fan blog. You’re thinking “where are lots of neo-confederate weirdos in the world, that’s disappointing but not weird” no, they were giving him the miku binder Thomas Jefferson from Hamilton treatment. They were “uwu my baby”-ing him. This was not a “south will rise again” type dick measuring macho confederacy blog, this was like a circa 2016 woobified historical figure RPF type blog. I was aghast and agog. It was so bizarre. And the worst part was, it was unironic.

i love gen narumi because he truly is customizable.... any hcs, as long as they're in character, are true if you think & reach hard enough. like. butch gen. (not elaborating) and gen who's definitely in the know about the thomas jefferson miku binder thing. and gen who was like 17 witnessing Dashcon through tumblr (he didn't even speak a lick of english at that time)
YEAGH he is,, so fun, ,, he's multi-fasceted which lets you kinda, have flexibilty to mess around with him but also. Dumbass. I love that for him
he is most DEFINITELY chronically online though lmao. He feels like the type of person to poke around websites outside of japan and just, find himself in really weird websites.
Personally i feel like he would be the type to go on reddit for games he plays and google translate a buncha posts just to get angry at people with opposing opinions and get into arguments but like. Having to machine translate everything the whole time
I am betting he's unwilling to loose arguments even with a language barrier lmao
(he is going to learn so many swear words)
#kaiju no. 8#enn talks#anyways i love him#he is so funny and real great to mess around with#i have a few things i wanna explore about his character personally but like#thats. slowly gettin added to my comic and it is hell#this project is already long as hell i dont need more#but like#NARU. HE HAS LAYERS THAT HE DONT SUPER SHOW IM CURIOUSSS#esp after bside and th whole peek into his personality we got with him n his younger self#anywyas#hilarious im talkin more in the tags than the actual ask#but i should!! keep it short#because its 3 am LMAO

@camelosuspeito about Obsession - S2EP13 Star Trek TOS
I didn't reply earlier because, to be honest, I didn't really know what to answer.
I feel like Obsession is fine on its own. It's a perfectly decent episode that taps into Kirk's morality—and, more importantly, his ability to command. It examines how Jim, The Captain, from whom perfection is not only required but also expected, deals with Jim, The Human who makes mistakes and stretches the Starfleet uniform until all of himself fits in it. My problem is not with this EP in particular, but rather the sequence of episodes that leads to it: Friday's Child –> The Deadly Years –> Obsession.
If episodes like The City on the Edge of Forever and Amok Time are what Star Trek TOS offers at its best, Friday's Child is what it offers at its absolute, bottom-of-the-pit worst. Genuinely one of the foulest pieces of television I have ever seen. Not even character assassination; DC Fontana nuked Bones until there was nothing left.
On the other hand, the Deadly Years is not remarkable, but I think it's interesting enough. And it essentially asks the same questions Obsession asked right after it. What makes a captain good? What line has to be crossed for a good officer to become a bad one? Etc.
James T. Kirk sometimes (probably more often than he'd like to admit to himself) acts against his principles when a big enough stressor is at play. All three episodes do that in their own way. The problem was never that Kirk contradicted himself in Friday's Child, for example, but that nothing in the runtime of the episode justified it.
I don't think that's the case at all with The Deadly Years or Obsession.
I saw someone in the tags of a The Deadly Years-related post mention that the reason it doesn't work for them is that it is "surrounded by other episodes that also don't show Kirk at his best." Ignoring the atrocity that is Friday's Child, this raises a very good point.
I think the correlation between these three episodes (Friday's Child to Obsession/The Deadly Years) is a perfect example of how you can (and often should) write your characters "out of themselves", but it's still a matter of how you do it, just like anything else in art.
Friday's Child breaks that barrier of how a character acts and how it perceives itself constantly, with absolutely no regard for what it is portraying (I could go on a tangent about McCoy's character obliteration here, but I choose my own sanity and to limit my tangents to themselves).
That's a massive difference from how The Deadly Years works. Its central narrative is, "How can these characters handle not meeting the standards they hold themselves to?" while Obsession goes to a more Kirk-focused plot about, well, obsession.
I do think that Obsession Deus Ex Machina-ing itself is its own worst enemy. Kirk objectively made a very poor decision to continue chasing the cloud in Argus 10 to the detriment of Theta 7's citizens. Jim got lucky the fucking monster was about to reproduce and send thousands of others just like it (and just as deadly) through space. Ignoring that feels counterproductive to the point the episode itself was trying to make. It just screams poor story time management.
Here is the post I made about The Deadly Years prior to watching Obsession, if you're curious! –> https://www.tumblr.com/thomas-jefferson-miku-binder/764315715746627584/kirk-theres-just-one-thing-i-want-spock-the

as someone who hasn’t watched a lot of anime but witnesses a Lot of anime fandom happenings on the daily, i love richie lipschitz and i wanna know what he’s like in the fandoms he’s a part of.
like does he indulge in the powerscaling shit? does he genuinely argue about goku vs saitama? does he think both of those sides are stupid because they’re from diff universes and it’ll be hard to measure? does he think both sides are stupid because he believes saiki could solo both of them?
does he secretly love magical girl animes but is too embarrassed to talk about it? does he defend it with his whole heart and hate anyone who says it’s for little girls? has he ever panicked because he forgot to plan his halloween costume months ahead and just decided to put on a white shirt and carry around a chair and say he dressed up as “shinji posing”?
did he ever get into vocaloid? does he laugh at anyone who doesn’t understand hatsune miku leek references? did he love miku binder thomas jefferson and go “omg it’s me” at it? did he have an osu phase? did he ever try to make 8bit music of anime openings?
did he write sasunaru fanfics and post them on wattpad and get at least thousand reads? did he ever participate in the down horrendous tweeting for nanami when that one episode (where he grabs someone by their ponytail) came out? does he know about the (and i mean this in the best way possible) monstrosity that is “Dear Eren Hansen”?
did he ever watch bunny girl senpai for the horny but end up really liking the plot? who’s his favorite from quintessential quintuplets? (i’m guessing nino)
does he watch sports anime? if he did, was it for the actual sport or because it’s very Gay? i’m guessing the second one has he watched sk8 the infinity? did he look at random green and pink objects together and go “oh my god matchablossom in the wild”? did he headcanon reki as trans because he kinned him? did he watch haikyuu and fall in love with iwaizumi hajime (27) athletic trainer? did he cry scream and throw up at “we are the protagonists of the world”? did he read in another life and call up pete and ruth saying his life was over and would never be the same?
i will never know the answer to any of these and i’m very upset about it so i thank grace for having sex with a ghost
