Fuck You *un-dooms Your Yaoi*

"Jon and Martin are in the computers" I hear you, I hear you. So then walk with me. A lot of people quote Jon's "I will not become another damn mystery." when they discuss why him being trapped in the computer is tragic. But I think you are all missing the even more devastating quote and the episode it comes from.

“Supplemental. It looks like my posting on a few of the more tech-savvy boards appealing for statements has worked. While the incident itself seems ultimately inconsequential, I was able to convince Tessa to have a look at Gertrude’s laptop, claiming to have locked myself out,”

From MAG 65. And what is MAG 65? Tessa Winters' statement about Sergey Ushanka. The man who tried to upload his consciousness to a computer and got trapped in it.

"While the incident itself seems ultimately inconsequential" Jon, you truly cannot stop being a self-fulfilling prophecy, can you?

I just noticed that at the beginning of mag 106, Melanie does a clap. I haven't confirmed if she does that in other episodes yet or not, but assuming she does, I love that little nod to her being a youtuber. I remember Tom Scott making a video about the little clap he does at the beginning of his videos, and anyways now I'm imagining the clap is a reflex from her time working with audiovisual medium rather than just audio. I also love the metalevel of a tma character doing a clap to sync audio, while the actor playing said character is surrounded by sound guys who (based on the bloopers) spend a lot of time clicking and clapping to get the audio balance right.

I am *obsessed* with the trope of fictional couples that swap a piece of their aesthetic. Like spinerella and netossa wearing necklaces of each other’s main colour. Feels so much more meaningful than a gold ring. Who knows if either of you even like gold? Or rings?

Anyways, doorkeay where michael has one (1) black leather bracelet that it intentionally doesn’t twist, and gerry has one (1) confusing friendship-bracelet-thing that subtly changes every time you look at it

The ads here are all very Stranger. I like saving them to dissect their Wrongness later. I like this cake one, though. No cursed faces, no floating limbs, no almost-words, just cakes!

This ad feels like a lure of the stranger but a very innocent and new lure. Yes. That is cakes, good job.

*thinks abt characters having a domestic life* oh god. Oh fuck. *trascends into the next astral plane*

I know that realistically you can only fit so many movies into a list of approximately 100, but I cannot take that "How many of tumblr's favorite movies have you seen?" list that's been going around seriously because there are some truly egregious omissions.

Some of it is very clearly recency bias, which makes me wonder if the op truly wasn't on here in 2013 or so, but you're telling me you made a list of "tumblr's favorite movies" that doesn't include Pacific Rim or Mad Max: Fury Road? Because, like, I was there, Gandalf.

blows my mind that i have little online friends who mildly care about me. it’s really nice

Retribution

Also it should be a middle school math textbook. Those things weigh like ten pounds for absolutely no reason

If Gerry had killed jurgen leitner he should've beaten him to death with a random hardcover book.

Felt so hard

Also hello birdo, fancy seeing you here from the small fandom we share

Being in a small fandom is so insane in such a cool way. It’s like living in a small town in the sense that you’ve seen already everybody at least once before. Like. Someone I recognised from ao3 liked one of my posts before and it was such an “omg!! I know that one!!” moment. And that’s just one example. How many others are there.
