Look I'm sorry to anyone who thought the Saja Boys were a real band, but it was obviously fake from the beginning.

Huntr/x has been doing this gimmick for years where they'll put on a performance and some actors dressed up like demons will "interrupt" it or get into some choreo fights on stage and stuff. If you're a fan you know, the demons usually symbolize things like industry corruption, Mira's struggle with her family, Rumi being in the closet, etc, and there's lots of hints and secret messages to the fans in what they're wearing or how they show up. Check out huntresx5evah on blsky they've got an extensive examination of the "demons" over the years and what the messages to the fans are.

In the concert before Golden was released, the demons were dressed like flight attendants. That was the indication that something new was about to take off. @/queenhuntrixdontmiss and I speculated that it was going to be a new single and low and behold, it was.

But then the live performance got cancelled. It's an open secret that Rumi was having vocal issues, so that was probably not planned. They needed to buy time for her to recover, so, enter the Saja Boys -- a fake band of guys really clearly pretending to be demons, they release ONE single, do a bunch of b-tier variety shows for a week, nearly all of their public appearances have Huntr/x right there, keeping the hype and energy up until Rumi can get her throat polyps removed and furthering the routine where Huntr/x are supposed to be secret demon hunters and the Saja Boys are supposed to be secret demons.

Then the whole thing culminates in the Golden live performance at the idol awards, the big act with Huntr/x fake "break up" and the subsequent theatrics to make it up to fans for failing the first Golden performance. Huntr/x takes their obligation to fans very seriously, I've no doubt that they all felt terrible about having to cancel, so a free show was the obvious recourse to try and make it up to people. And they pulled out all the stops!

But the Saja Boys were never real. I mean they got real guys to pretend to be a boy band and do the dancing and lip syncing obviously, but come on, most of them didn't even have names.

Now that Israel has destroyed almost all housing units in Gaza, it is now striking the tents where displaced Palestinians have taken refuge. At least 19 people were killed and dozens injured today in an Israeli attack on refugee tents in Gaza, an area Israel has designated a safe zone.

walkable cities are such a terrible idea when you think about them for literally any longer than a single second. more steps = more cracks = more mothers’ backs broken. simple fucking math. if you wanted your mom’s back blown out so bad you could’ve just called me

Permafrost mummies! All these creatures represent a real animal found preserved in the permafrost. There's something so fragile and special about the earth and ice reuniting us with an animal our ancestors would have been so familiar with, that shit makes me cry.

i think my main problem with the vivziepop homestuck adaptation, aside from the fact that by most reports some pretty abusive people are going to make bank off it, is that I want homestuck to be dead.

not dead in that its unreadable and doesn't exist anymore, but dead as in disarmed, as in there isn't any content being produced for it that anyone could agree is official. dead as in something looked at retrospectively, as a period piece, an interesting historical artefact. dead as in no one with money and trying to make money could possibly view it as anything other than a lame, sunken ship. dead as in something that only weird broke women and transgender people on the internet care about anymore, as a camp-adjacent reclamation of being cringe. dead as in something that isn't legally owned and manufactured.

dead because I cannot imagine any version of "alive" homestuck that cares about its characters in the way that I do, because repeatedly mean-spirited and disappointing endings over the years seem to desperately want to convince the audience that there's no value in it being alive.
