. . . Phineas hardly knew whether the absurdity of the movement or the tragedy of the feeling struck him the more forcibly.

Putting out a request...
Hey, guys. Any Candle Wasters fans out there? If so, will you please help me? I have been working hard over the past few months to archive as much YouTube content as possible before the Big December Purge, but every time I've tried to archive literary webseries, I've been overwhelmed by the sheer amount there is. I've managed to confirm that Pemberley Digital is archived on the Wayback Machine, but The Candle Wasters do not seem to be. Does anyone know any archive of them that already exists, or any archivist with a strong stomach for all the work there is to do who can create one, or help me create one? I do not want these incredible series to disappear, but realistically, I do not think I am physically capable of saving them on my own.

To celebrate completing my latin intensive midterm, I had the first beer I ever liked, two shots of tequila with bugs in it, and then I spilt my 10 dollar cocktail that had really been looking forward to finishing.
Heuuuu!

The Ballad of Justin Carrier
Back in the year of ‘23
I woke to find a friend of mine was gone
Around the bend, behind the veil
Out into the next life had moved on
.
But it always seemed to me that where he was
Was right where he belonged
So, I’d like to think he’s alright now
And I’d like to say goodbye to him in song
.
I still cannot believe that he was shot
And it makes me wonder why it had to be
He was a dude I liked a lot
He would call you out right there on the spot, you see?
He was always a good ol’ boy to me
.
Perhaps it’s through his kids he’ll be coming through
Or perhaps in ways, I know not how
Perhaps it is that no one fills his shoes
.
Even though I’m alive and well, I know
That my time is coming, too
Perhaps in years; perhaps tonight
Perhaps it is now friend I see you soon
.
I still cannot believe that he got shot
And it makes me wonder why things have to be
He was a dude I like a lot
He’d call you out right there on the spot, you see?
He was always a good ol’ boy to me
. . . Yes, he was always a good ol’ friend, indeed

The nosebleed comic is so specifically funny to me because like. When I finally got to sleep with my long distance partner, i woke them up after I had a nightmare, and as they groggily rolled over to hug me they accidentally elbowed me. Hard. In the nose. Now I am hugging them and crying and bleeding on the shirt I just gave them don't worry about it

since david has confirmed he recognized xander from the start and if we assume the same for xander does that mean they were just acting out their fan meets hero fantasy this whole time
#like they could've just said they already met at a convention or something#right now i see no reason why they would have to hide the fact they knew each other#then again there is SO MUCH they know that we don't know so ughhhhh#tragicomic yaoi at its best oh xanvid i love you#drdt spoilers#drdt#danganronpa despair time#danganronpa despair time spoilers#david chiem#xander matthews#thoughts

Kia ora koutou,
After 4 years of being on hiatus we wanted to officially acknowledge that our filmmaking collective has disbanded.
We are so proud of all the work we made, and we loved sharing it with you all. Your gifs, analysis, letters, writing, art, and comments made us feel so lucky. Creating these stories was such a special time in our lives and we can’t thank you enough for being a part of it. We could not have made our 5 webseries in 5 years without your awhi, love, and support. We will be forever grateful for the support of our Kickstarters which allowed us to continue making series, and never forget our fandles or flamangoes.
While as a collective we have gone our separate ways, we are all continuing to be creative folks and if you follow our various social media you will see what we get up to next.
Claris - @/clariskate on instagram Elsie - @/littlebollinger on instagram Minnie - @minniegraced most places Robbie - @robbienicol on instagram Sally - @/salazar.bollinger on instagram
We will continue to post as The Candle Wasters from time to time — NMTD turns 10 next year and we’ll be sure to acknowledge that!
Finally, we are releasing several videos from our YouTube Drafts as part of the final updates to the Kickstarters for Lovely Little Losers and Bright Summer Night. You will see these on your feed. After that, we will not be releasing any further original content on YouTube as The Candle Wasters, though there will be other updates from us as individuals from time to time. For more details on the Kickstarter, please see the Final Updates on each Kickstarter.
Thank you all for joining us on this journey!
Lots of love, ngā mihi, Claris, Elsie, Minnie, Robbie, and Sally EDIT: What's NMTDaily? CLICK HERE FOR INFO

horrible thought: luz and hunter are cuddling and she accidentally taps her arm glyph while its facing hunter and he gets knocked out. and hes Literally Fine, its just One Sleep Blast, arguably Good For Him. but luz immediately Shatters at the Fucking Seams.
because shes an irredeemable murderer and she will hurt literally everyone in her life and she committed one murder cause shes VIOLENT and BLOODTHIRSTY and she LOVES MURDER and now she will commit SO MANY MURDERS. and what if hunter NEVER WAKES UP
now darius raine and eberwolf are crowded in luz's room while she tries to explain how shes UNCONTROLLABLE and EVIL and she just ATTACKED HUNTER UNPROVOKED (hunter is taking a very comfy looking nap) and they NEED TO KILL HER RIGHT NOW. AND/OR CUT HER ARM OFF.
GOD THIS IS VERY FUNNY AND SAD. MY POOR BABY.
love the concept that either luz Immediately calls raine when she's out of her depth the same way she calls eda in canon, OR that fiddlesticks was spying on her & runs to get raine. who conveniently happens to be doing anarchist shenanigans with the squad.
eber sitting on luz's shoulder to ground her. darius examining hunter and checking his pulse and his breathing like "he's Literally Fine." raine kneeling in front of luz looking at her arm and pretending they've never seen the glyphs before all like, what are these? what happened??
luz is like i didn't MEAN to put hunter to sleep & raine, who doesn't know a TON about the glyphs, is like "....is it dangerous?? we'll find a way to wake him up, luz, it'll be okay"
and luz is like no he'll wake up by himself it's just sleep. but i COULD kill him. i'm GONNA kill him. just like i killed-
raine: okay! let's not finish that sentence.
luz: you care about the kingdom, don't you?? if you care about everyone here then you KNOW you should kill me, i'm a Monster D:
raine: how about this, though. how about Nobody dies. and nobody gets killed. and you let me take care of all this. and you go visit the human world for a little while.
#replies#toh#luz noceda#raine whispers#horrible mindscape trauma pals#princess luz au#not AU canon but deeply tragicomic to explore.#eda: we have to get that girl out of the castle#raine: she's doing her best#[six weeks later or whatever]#raine: we need to get that girl out of the castle.

Had to break it to my sister (twelve years older than me) that she herself is an early millennial/late Gen X, that our brother is a Millennial as well, and that those "twenty-something interns" she sees at work are not Millennials (derogatory).
#ngl it is tragicomical#because she's not the first person that thinks Millennial#is a catch all term for annoying dumb ignorant young people#like a transferrable generational marker#we really truly be a sad generation#I think in the last century maybe only being truly surpassed by the greatest generation XD#(let me be dramatic for a second thank you)
