Hey everyone,
I looking for the artist page (or name) of a comic creator.
I stumbled across his art 2-3 years ago on instagram and I failed to save any of his arts. His comics are always hilarious, funny, dark, in some way disturbing and sometimes nothing but outrageous. It often depicts a bit of violence, sex and plot twists!
There is one comic in which a woman gets impregnated by a man, then bears the child, but wouldn't cut the umbilical cord - so the child just keeps growing up while attached to the mother.
I wish I could recall any other, but that is all I can come up with. I have been searching already for a solid 2 hours without result, hoping that one of you guys knows, what I am looking for. Thanks so much!

R.E Dannys' last video
I want to preface this by saying that I have been part of Greg for many, many years. I have also been an occasional lurker on this sub for a couple years too. All this to say that I cannot overstate how much that this is coming from a place of love, and a genuine desire to see change. Danny has been such a pivotal part of my life- during the pandemic I would watch him literally 24/7, to the point where I literally have most of his videos commited to memory. I've literally grown up watching Danny, Drew, and Kurtis, which feels crazy to say. The pandemic made me miss out on so many key highschool memories and though it sounds corny to say, it would have sucked so much more had I not had Greg, and the BaddieSMP, and the virtual boy collabs that just made the general dolour of that time way happier. As I've gotten older, I really have appreciated the person that Danny is. I'm sure many people can relate, but so many of my childhood youtube idols have just turned out to be horrible, and its always felt good to know that you weren't one of them. Looking back, I know its bad to put your idols on a pedestal, but when they had such a significant, fundemental part of my growing-up, its hard not to.
I think, by now, most people know what I am going to say. And before I do, I want to say that I don't think Danny is some reprehensible, unfeeling, evil-doer. I remember how he felt so genuinely, personally affected when he realised he hurt people when he said the B slur in one of his older videos. I remember how he used his platform during the Black Lives Matter movement to uplift the voices of those hurt by police brutality and societal inequity, and to remember the name and bring posthumous justice to Breonna Taylor. And its not simply the fact that he had a Starbucks cup, or showed it in a video during an international boycott; (regardless of whether or not he knew about it) it's moreso his silence, what it represents. We are in such an interesting time of social upheaval where we are blocking celebrities and influencers for not speaking out about the situations in Palestine, Sudan, and the Congo. Its not because we think "grr youre doing the wrong thing!" or "we are yelling at you because you go against MY personal agenda!" its just, how can we enjoy funny, silly, lighthearted content, when there are people starving to death? I clicked off the video when I saw the cup, because I don't want my watchtime, and the time I spend watching ads, given to someone who will spend it to support a genocide, whether they mean to or not. I know how difficult it is to stay up to date when you have a literal child who takes up so much of your energy that you want to raise right, and spend time with before they grow up. But there are children in Gaza who are being run over with tanks, and being shot at, or who don't get to spend any time with their parents ever again, because they have been matyred.
I don't agree with the sentiments that you shouldn't HAVE to speak out about societal issues. That would be true, if you weren't someone who has constantly used their platform to promote causes for social equity and change. You have cultivated an audience who clearly cares about societal inequality and hearing your general silence on the issue feels a little bit intentional, even if you don't mean it to be. From a human standpoint, we, as a society, have a responsibility to help the people of Palestine. And if you don't, you don't get to claim that you care about people or humanity, because humanity doesn't stop just because the people being oppressed are part of a different race and or religion.
As for some of my fellow Gregs, You don't get to "choose" whether or not to support Palestine based off, admittedly, the sometimes counter-intuitive demands of those pleading for change. There needs to be more understanding from both sides. Men, women, and children, are dying in the most brutal of ways. It makes sense that people are frustrated and on edge right now- people are literally watching their family die. I can also acknowledge that if one is ill-informed about the role of creators in bringing awareness to these conflicts, that they don't see why people get so pressed about "Danny having a Starbucks cup" when we should be focusing on world leaders. But I can't just go up to Netanyahu and Biden and politely tell them to stop. We, as people, need to collocate our voices- and a way we do that, is by urging creators to bring light to this situation. When we do that, we can come together to effectively bring about change through boycotts and petitions and being united against these seemingly insurmountable world powers. Not saying anything, or relying on other people to spread things, contributes heavily to a this culture of silence. Being an ally to Palestinian people is speaking up, no matter how hard and uncomfortable and sad it is. And even if you get things wrong, you can re-educate yourself. But you can't retroactively change your silence on this issue.
I speak for many when I say that we are not mad that you weren't initially educated. But I don't know Danny, making a community announcement (that laptop users likely won't see), not making a public donation, and still keeping the video up doesn't really feel like accountability. As I stated before, Danny Gonzalez has been such a pivotal, foundational part of me growing up. I don't want to distance myself from a community I have spent years in- but if thats a part of a minor responsibility I have to do to help achieve greater social equity, then so be it. I can always watch other youtube videos; I have the freedom of choice. But the people in Palestine do not.
I, in no way, shape or form, want to cancel Danny. I'm only writing this, (instead of just blocking you on every platform, like I have done with many other influencers and celebs) because I do believe you can change. I do believe that you don't want to cause harm. But most importantly Danny, I want you to know that you really can make a difference. I know, because you have done it before.
Thank you for reading <3

Mixxa was adopted because she was mistreated by her previous owners.
Initially hesitant and frightened due to her past mistreatment, it took Mixxa a couple of weeks to warm up to her new owners. ​Through pure love and tireless efforts to make her comfortable, a simple act of brushing her face with a small toothbrush ​became the key to her heart. She has also three other companions (other adopted cats) and shares her daily life with them. ​However, most of the time, she can be found sleeping in the funniest positions or sitting in different poses, as can be seen in ​the pictures.
Now, after two years filled with joy, the owners wanted to share Mixxa's charming and amusing moments with the world,
thus leading to the creation of this funny meme token named $MIXXA.
The token includes a 2.5% charity wallet because the creators have a noble goal in mind:
To establish a new sanctuary for cats and dogs, providing care for as many strays as possible on a full-time basis.
Once a certain market cap is reached, these funds will be utilised to create a modern and very big sanctuary equipped with ​caretakers, on-site 24-hour vets with veterinary services for both residents and external emergencies.
Additionally, there are plans for a cozy mini bar (lounge), within that space, where visitors can relax, cuddle and interact with ​the animals on-site, while having a nice drink or cocktails.
The ultimate goal: To save up to 2000 or more animals from the streets and have a nice place to gather for every animal lover ​in the region.

I live in a community where LGTB+ is extremely common. Highly liberal area, mainly athiest. My father's side of my family lives across the country in NY. My grandparents were Italian and Irish, and both catholic as children. My father is not catholic (quite the opposite, actually), but my aunt (his sister) and her family is. She is married to a first generation Salvadoran immigrant, also Roman Catholic. Her kids (my cousins) are not deeply religious. I do not personally believe in a god in the sense of a divine creator. I do feel a great amount of respect and... devotion? Towards my family's Catholic heritage. One of my cousins is MTF trans. She is currently struggling with mental health problems I believe were brought on by other LGTB folks being toxic to her as well as Catholic folks not accepting her.
I have multiple LGTB+ friends (non-binary, bi, trans, you name it.) But I am a cis, straight male. I believe in some values of traditional masculinity. I do not hide my family's history and I share my views on religion to people who wish to know. I believe religion deserves respect. I think religion becomes a problem when it refuses to acknowledge its own problems. I think the most devoubt thing you can do as a religious person is acknowledge your religion's history, mistakes, misgivings, etc, and reconcile them, work to heal wounds, work to ensure such horrors may not happen again. I am fully aware of what the church has done, the people it's tortured and killed, the corruption, the hatred, the division, colonialism, how it has treated children and women, minorities, etc.
But I also feel hate from the very people the church hated/hates: the LGTBQ community. They have safe spaces, clubs, their banners fly everywhere, they force their way into schools and daily life, much like the church. I do not wish to hear about the evils of premarital sex from a priest. Likewise, I do not wish to have a man wearing a woman's clothing tell me about how my way of life, and my family's way of life is wrong. I do not wish for that man to teach sex ed at my school. I do not wish to wear a dress. I do not wish for my friends to criticize what they don't understand. I have had friends stereotype my family, insult them for who they are. They act as though they are the only ones to suffer, when my grandfather was abused himself by the church, by a priest, and was given no help, no support, no safe space, no banner, no online social network. And yet he is made fun and stereotyped because he didn't give up his faith until much, much later in his life.
I guess ultimately I feel alienated by my LGTBQ friends attacking my views and my family's views and my family's way of life. I feel further frustrated by the fact that I cannot share any of this with them without them just saying I'm homophobic and them going right back to "the church is evil". The Catholic church, and all other religious organizations, are both beautiful and terrifying. I am being forced to bridge the gap between two radically different worlds, and I find myself having issues with both of them and the way they treat people like my family members.

Hello.
My name is Flaviu E. Hongu. Some people including myself choose to spell my name as Flavius instead. I am what most would call a white dude. I was born in Romania in a fully Romanian family, and was raised by said Romanian family.
I would like to address specifically the people who use the term "cultural appropriation". There has not been even one case I've ever seen of someone saying cultural appropriation that wasn't a mistake. In every occasion I saw people partaking in and appreciating culture, not stealing it.
There have been cases where the person saying cultural appropriation has been actively racist to multiple groups of people, like when someone accused a young girl of mocking a culture for making funny faces while dancing their local dance. Well it turns out those "funny faces" that you criticized are actually part of the dance itself, and you made a fool of yourself and everyone who says cultural appropriation because you've just insulted their local dance.
I swear to god this is infuriating. Culture has always been meant to be shared, appreciated, mixed and changed. That's the whole point of culture.
My own Romanian culture is a mix of Roman (as the name suggests), Greek, Slavic, and also a huge chunk of Dacian which is the native tribe that inhabited the land before Romans conquered it.
By existing as a Romanian dude, am I fucking appropriating the Romans' culture for speaking my literal native Romanian language which comes from the Roman language? Am I appropriating the Slavs for being part of an Orthodox culture and using words such as slavă, ispravă, duhu sfânt, and slobozie? Am I appropriating the Slavs when the only word for clock in Romanian is ceas, which comes from the Slavic word for time? Should I still be speaking the Dacian language that the Romans eradicated and wearing only robes and herding sheep because I'm a native Romanian?
Or I'll do you one better, I live in Spain now, and I've been living here for most of my life, so I developed an appreciation for their culture. I think lentejas, garbanzos, and cocido are some of the most delicious shit humans have ever invented. Am I appropriating their culture when I unironocallh cook those dishes because I LOVE them? Or am I appropriating their culture whenever I speak their language, enjoy their music, read and quote their books, sing their poems and dance their dances???
The only way something can be qualified as cultural appropriation is if some group of people begins to do something that was developed by another group of people and then forbid and ban the original creators of thst practice from doing the thing.
I've never seen that happen in real life, and I don't thing it's even possible. If you ever feel like saying cultural appropriation, I think you mean cultural appreciation.
If I ever visit the US and see someone who isn't Romanian wearing my country's cultural clothes I'll LOVE IT. And if I walk down the street and see a dude wearing Adidas, doing the balkaner sitting, holding a bottle of home made țuică, going like "BA FRATE CE FACI MĂ?!" with a thick US accent and then he yells "SUKA BLYAT OH KURWA" and starts doing the Rasputin dance I will die of laughter right then and there, I will then join the dude in his comedic act, I will provide some original, real balkaner energy and will drink the țuică with him because it's funny as shit and I love that he even knows that much about my culture.
That's not appropriation. No one can appropriate my culture because no one can stop me from doing it and if they do it, I'll love it.
However what I did observe was that this "accusing people of cultural appropriation" thing is only ever done to white people. Like according to their logic a Kenyan cannot dance tango, and a Chinese can't play the piano, but no! They only ever target white people, and sometimes mock and disrespect the culture the white people are APPRECIATING out of sheer hatred for whites and full on ignorance.
As a matter of fact, according to their logic, if you aren't white you cannot and should not be wearing sneakers, pants, shirts, t-shirts, or glasses, you should not be using the English language, you shouldn't use cars because they were invented by a German, you shouldn't even be using phones and computers because it's a white cultural aspect.
Fucking bullshit I tell you.
The reality is that these people never ever target someone who is not white or someone partaking in other white culture. And I've heard them say things like white people have no culture which is why they feel the need to steal other's. Which is the most stupid and ignorant and even offensive thing I've heard. As a Romanian dude with a super rich culture, who also knows about the culture of other balkaners and the other countries surrounding my own, which are all inhabited by whites with a very very different culture, I feel invalidated. Do they think US culture is the only white culture? And also, they're even more ignorant than that because saying white people have no culture is like saying Americans don't have an accent. You don't hear the accent because it's YOUR accent and to YOU it doesn't sound different. And same as that, they don't consider American English culture a real culture because they see it every day.
People like that are actually just racists and hateful of white people and are using cultural appropriation as an excuse to insult white people and harass them for no reason at all. They are no better than the white racists, and their claims of white people having no culture is insulting and invalidating to the thousands of cultures that white people do have, all different from each other.
So, if you're the kind of person to say cultural appropriation, don't ever say that shit again, go ahead and stuff your stinky mouth with sarmale that you cooked yourself, go and put on an ie, go and dance a good horă and go put an entire oină bat in your ass.

Thank you to the author of this recent post for asking when I last enjoyed the Meta. Truthfully, I last really enjoyed it when I was on the cusp of middle and high school 10 - 11 years ago and it was Open Beta. The enjoyment came before all the decks were Meta-optimized and there was the possibility of trying new cards that I slowly opened from packs from the arena - gradually making my decks better in response to what I was encountering. I remember opening two [[Ancient of Lore]] in my first months and falling in love with the flexibility in Choose One that the Druid Class offered. I was tinkering with [[Keeper of the Grove]] and cards like [[Venture Co. Mercenary]] and [[Ancient Watcher]] - like a less refined version of this: https://imgur.com/TVLBmLa And then when I opened a [[Big Game Hunter]] I was ecstatic because I was about to craft it because Druid lacked good hard removal.
This game has been a constant in my life. But as the years have dragged on, it's now more of a chore than a genuine pleasure. The constant expansion and mini-set release begging for money, lack of newbies in the game so it's all people with neck-decks, hyper-optimized ladder and inability to find a low power level format where I can tinker and slowly adjust my decks means that I'm just not enjoying the game and I don't foresee the devs changing their plans going forward for how they design cards or encourage deck building and experimenting. I've accepted that we've essentially reached a game theory arrangement where everyone will make a choice to net deck even though we all might have more fun not doing so - look at Kibler still going at it.
As a last game, I just found myself losing my entire board with a home brew [[Ownlonius]] and dragon deck to a [[Dirty Rat]] and [[Brawl]] (with the rat winning) and I wasn't even annoyed or upset. Just indifferent at the point. So when the game ended with the Warrior playing Reno, then Zilliax, and then Dr. Boom, guaranteeing I wouldn't be able to go over the top with my spells, I closed and deleted the application from my computer.
In that moment, I fully appreciated I've been chasing those first few months when I got my first Legendary - [[Cairne Bloodhoof]] - and immediately put him in all my decks to help make [[Ragnaros]] Fireballs less likely to hit my face or seeing new cards in the Arena. And if playing a game long after it was fun, doesn't sound like a minor addiction, I'm not sure what is. Of course that is the goals of some of the people within Blizzard - to get people addicted to the game. So while the quests are leaving a bad taste in my mouth, the meta is hyper-optimized (and I've accepted this will never go away), and all the original creators - except Kripp and Kibler - are gone, this is probably as good of time as ever to say goodbye.
At the end of all of it, I wish I could give my account away - not because I'm worried I'm going to return, I'm writing this as my promise to not return - but because I wish someone could benefit from all the cosmetics and my collection that I have accumulated over the years.
Farewell game and hearthstone, it's been fun, it's been real, and it's been real fun.

US-31 EDR

Its intended as a US-31 EMERGENCY DETOUR ROUTE, which is why "31" is the last two digits, similar to many other triple-digit routes.

County Route B31

In the town of Nunica itself, there's a County route designated as "B31". Since B is the second letter of the alphabet, one might assume "231" from that, although in a Hexadecimal context, it'd be more like 2,865. Normally routes don't have quadruple digits, so it was sorta a good idea to have alphanumeric county routes.
B-31 goes all the way to M-120, both of which ride along the border of Newaygo County and Muskegon County. Interestingly, M-120 used to be M-213 in the past, see "M-213" section below.

an area code in Michigan

231 is also a telephone area code. Incidentally, 231 is not the area code for Nunica, although the 231 area code was formerly part of the 616 area code which Ottawa County, and Grand Rapids, and some other cities are part of. The 231 area code was created in 1999, which would be 16 years before M-231 opened to traffic.
After all, lots of people driving on US-31 are heading to the 231 area code, and might take M-231 in the event of a drawbridge situation, whether it be traffic jams caused by the bridge being up, or even the bridge being OUT OF ORDER needing maintenance.
Although, the 231 area code starts in Muskegon, where I-96 terminates at US-31, so essentially, the US-31 EDR starts at I-96 going toward Nunica (M-231), and then picks up at M-231, and then M-45 going back to US-31.

M-213 anecdote

Back in the 1950s, and prior, there used to be a route called M-213, which occupied the Maple Island Road corridor going from M-46 to M-20 (present-day M-120), and in the present day, that roadway is a segment of county route B31, explanation about that route above.
It has been explained on Christopher Bessert's Michigan Highways website that M-231 has an odd, tenuous connection of M-213, as explained in this article:
https://michiganhighways.org/listings/M-231.html
That article really inspired me to make my own post, here on Reddit, about M-231's oddities.

US-231 maybe?

There's also a route called US-231 which doesn't even enter Michigan at all, in fact, it veers northwest toward US-41 near the Chicagoland area near the Indiana/Illinois border.
But to be fair, having no US-231 in Michigan meant that the M-231 designation was available for use back when the project was first announced in the late 2000s.
US-231 goes through the state of Alabama, and it's neighboring state, Mississippi, has a city called Tunica in it, and Tunica rhymes with Nunica.

Ramona 231

The phrase "Ramona 231" was said in the movie American Graffiti. What's interesting about American Graffiti, is that an actror named Richard Dreyfuss was in the movie, and his 68th birthday was one day before the day when Michigan's M-231 route opened to traffic, but it's unlikely that that had any influence on the timing of events.
However, Richard Dreyfuss' character Curt was not the one who uttered the phrase "Ramona 231", it was John Milner played by Paul Le Mat.

BASE-3 number of some other route

M-231 terminates at M-45. I've also discovered that if you enter 45 in BASE-10, and change the radix to 4, you get number 231, so 231 is also the BASE-4 equivalent of the BASE-10 number 45.

kilograms-to-pounds unit conversion

I am aware that M-231 intersects with a route called M-104 which has been along a lot longer. I also recently discovered that there are about maybe 104 kilograms in 231 pounds, although it's more like 104.779 kilograms when 231 is an INTEGER for pounds.
so that's another probable inspiration for the route number.

any other ideas?

Any other "231" connections to point out?

Hi everyone! Welcome. please enjoy the script!! Any questions regarding the script please message me directly, but it's okay to monetize and make gender changes, but please no major script changes! Thank you very much for reading!

[Sounds of panic, running can be heard, soldiers moving around in a battle]
Prince: Don't look back okay? Keep running! We need to make it to the river, there's supposed to be one just through these trees!
Listener: ....
Prince: I don't know what it is, I never saw it, and I said don't look back!
Listener: ....
Prince: There's nothing we can do for them! This is their job, focus on what's in front of you or you'll die too!
[The listener trips and falls. The Prince notices after a second, and hesitates]
Prince: Shit...-
[Prince goes back and pulls the listener up]
Prince: On your feet damn it! The river is just up ahead! Can you swim?
Listener: ....
Prince: Well then I hope you're a fast learner.
[Heavy beast footsteps approaching, something is charging them]
Prince: Shit shit shit- why the hell is it following us?! Damn... it's fast! There's the river, jump, now!
[Listener jumps in]
Prince: Like fuck am I dying to you, ugly.
[Prince jumps in, and the audio fades out]
[Sounds of being underwater, muffled speech as the audio fades back in]
Prince: Hey, Silverspoon! Where the hell are you! [Prince tries not to inhale any water as they're both carried down the river, gasping for air] God damn it, I can't see anything!
[Audio fades out again, then back in]
Prince: Ugh! [Gasping] If you can hear me, try to protect your head and keep it above water! Don't fight the current!
[Audio fades out, fades back in with forest sounds and a river, as they both wash up on the river bank]
Prince: [Coughing] I... don't hear anything... I have no idea how far the river brought us, but I think it's far enough that we're safe. Are you still alive over there, Silverspoon?
Listener: ....
Prince: Alright, well stop laying in the mud then. We need to get moving. We need to find shelter, and figure out what we're doing. There’s no way of knowing exactly where we are… but the river should have carried us to the west… ughh, damn it! What the hell even was that thing?!
Listener: ….
Prince: Huh- uh, what? What’s wrong with my… oh.
Listener: ….
Prince: No, it doesn’t normally bend like that, you’re right. For once. I guess it must have happened in the river? A broken arm is going to be a little… annoying.
Listener: ….
Prince: Like I told you before, I feel nothing. It just means this arm likely isn’t going to do me much good for anything out here. I’m just glad it’s not your arm, if I had to deal with you whimpering and complaining about a sore arm, your company would be twice as insufferable as it already is.
Listener: ….
Prince: Excuse me? “Let me see your arm” oh like hell! You’d do more harm than good, your stitches were atrocious, I can only imagine what your patch job for a broken bone would be.
Listener: ….
Prince: No, I said your stitches were ‘good enough’ which is entirely different from good! Just leave me be, I’ll make a sling and that’ll do. [Sound of fabric tearing as he rips his clothes for cloth] As long as I can walk and hold a sword, I’m not concerned. Now, if you’re interested in returning to civilization, I suggest you follow me. Don’t slow me down, or I’ll leave you behind.
[A few moments of silence, and footsteps in the grass/woods/dirt as the two start walking]
Prince: Tell me if you see any animals, we’re going to need food to eat tonight. And keep an eye out for danger, I’m busy trying to make sense of where we are. I know every landmark in the kingdom, I just need to find something definitive, so I don’t have time to focus on threats as well.
Listener: ….
Prince: Yes, I expect we’ll be sleeping in the woods for at least a few days. We weren’t in a very populated area to begin with, it could be days, if not weeks until we come across something. Although, I don’t expect us to last weeks out here.
Listener: ….
Prince: I’m not a pessimist, I’m a realist. My arm is broken which is bound to take its toll eventually, and you’re bruised and cut like the average prisoner in my dungeon. Honestly I’m surprised you didn’t break anything, you’re rather delicate looking. Hold on-... where is your other shoe? You’re missing one.
Listener: …..
Prince: [The prince sighs] Alright, well that’s not going to work. Walking in one high heel is going to make you trip, especially in this terrain. Not to mention if you step on something sharp and can’t walk, you’re going to cause me a lot more trouble. Here, take mine. [The prince takes his shoes off, handing them to the listener]
Listener: ….
Prince: Don’t, just take them. It’s not out of concern, don’t fool yourself. If I hurt my feet, it won’t slow me down. You’re a different story entirely.
Listener: ….
Prince: Good. Now let’s go.
Listener: ….
Prince: I told you, I have no idea what it was. I’ve never seen a beast like that. It looked like some sort of… I don’t even know. Whatever it was, it decimated an entire troop of soldiers. I get the feeling it’s going to be a much bigger problem for me in the future. The main issue is its speed. If it weren’t for the trees slowing it down, we would have certainly died. Ah, not something to focus on now though, I suppose.
[A few moment of silence and just footsteps again]
Prince: What? Why did I save you? I don’t know, it wasn’t really my intention. Instinct, I suppose. You were there in the wagon with me, so I just acted. There wasn’t really time to think about anything. It wasn’t an act of kindness, you just got lucky. Or unlucky, seeing as this means you’re still my prisoner. Most people prefer it to being dead, not all though.
Listener: ….
Prince: Call me dramatic if you want, I don’t care. I’m only trying to give you fair warning, and keep the boundaries of our relationship completely clear. You? Prisoner. Me? Captor. Got that? Right now we’re on a temporary truce to survive a giant monster attack, so just try to make sure you don’t trick yourself into thinking I’m going to look out for you, or that we’re allies of some kind.
Listener: ….
Prince: You’re welcome to think whatever you want, but don’t start crying when you find out that you’re wrong, and get yourself hurt.
[The listener runs towards the prince]
Prince: Pfft, you’ve never been in the woods a day in your life, have you?
Listener: ….
Prince: Well you just ran at me to save you from a bug, so… oh actually you know what, that thing is giant, fair enough. There, it’s taken care of. I wouldn’t want that thing crawling on me, either. Anyway, while we’re stuck out here, I might as well teach you a few things. That way I won’t have to do everything myself. Once I kill us something for dinner, I’ll teach you how to skin and prep it properly. And collect water, that’ll be important too. We’ll go over the basics when we make camp for the night.
[Scene fades out]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[Scene opens with sounds of a crackling campfire and nighttime ambience]
Prince: You did okay. The shelter hasn’t tipped over yet, and this rabbit isn’t burnt or raw, so that’s a moderate success. Next one we catch, we’ll see if you were paying attention to my ‘introduction to game prep’ crash course. Once the dew forms in the morning, we'll collect it off the big leaves of the trees around here. Not much left to do now. Ugh, I’m exhausted. Maybe I’ll just sleep for a few days and deal with the rest later… oh, right, gotta take- wait.
[The prince rifles through his bag, looking for his medicine. The sound of broken glass shards clicking together is heard, and rifling suddenly stops]
Prince: …damn it. I should have checked my bag sooner… ugh!
Listener: ….
Prince: Uh n-no, it’s nothing. Mind your own business! I… we… need to get back to civilization as soon as possible. Back to the palace.
Listener: ….
Prince I told you before, don’t ask me about it. The only thing you’re serving to do with that is piss me off.
Listener: ….
Prince: It’s not a big deal. In fact it’s no concern at all. I don’t even need it! I don’t think so, at least. I- ugh, didn’t I tell you to mind your own business?
Listener: ….
Prince: Do not call me hornet prince. Look, I would never tell you anything relating to a weakness of mine, because that’s a good way to have them exploited. You may be stupid, but surely you can understand the value of keeping your secrets?
Listener: ….
Prince: You’re… sick? What are you talking about?
Listener: ….
Prince: You… are you saying that because of what I said? Being frail and ill since childhood isn’t all that uncommon, but that explains why you seem so easily exhausted. I mean you looked like you were about to collapse before we jumped in the river, and we only ran for a couple of minutes. I don’t care, though, let me be clear. You sharing a weakness doesn’t really count if you have no strength to stand on anyway.
Listener: ….
Prince. I guess you did at least survive being swept down a river, but I don’t know if I’d classify the state you’re in as ‘well’.
Listener: ….
Prince: You can give up trying to gain my trust, it’s not going to happen. Besides, you just admitted you were lying to me when I found you on the road. Sneaking away from your family is not the story you relayed to me then. Whatever, doesn’t matter now.
Listener: ….
Prince: Ah, now I see. This is your plan to get me to let you look at my arm, hm?
Listener: ….
Prince: You’re not as clever as you think. You’re not very clever at all, honestly, from what I’ve seen. Well, I suppose we’ll be sharing a sleeping space tonight anyway, so… fine. If you try anything, there will be a sword sticking into your chest before you can blink. That’s your only warning. Anyway… here.
[The prince extends his arm, letting the listener check it out]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Prince: Huh… you know, I’ll admit, I didn’t expect you to know how to set a bone. Your needlework said you didn’t have much doctoring experience, but maybe I’m just used to experts. The doctors in the castle are typically trying not to leave scars, but your stitching is holding well. Where did you learn all this?
Listener: ….
Prince: You… learned by patching up your brothers? Didn’t you have servants to do that for you? And what the hell were your brothers doing as children to require that much medical attention-? Actually forget I asked, I don’t actually care. This will do fine, in any case.
Listener: ….
Prince: If you’re looking for a thank you, it’s not coming. I’m going to sleep now, I’m tired, and talking to someone so boring isn’t helping that.
[The prince stands, walks over to the shelter they built, and the listener follows him. He crawls in and lays down, once again followed by the listener]
Prince: Do your best not to touch me during my sleep, if you startle me, I might end up stabbing you. I’m sure you’d like to avoid that, and I’d like to avoid getting my clothes any bloodier. Stay strictly on your side of the shelter, and we won’t have an issue.
Listener: ….
Prince: Yeah, so what if you get cold? Not my problem, go cuddle a bear or something.
Listener: ….
Prince: Yeah… goodnight, Silverspoon.

Hope you liked PT 3 of the script! The prince has a cannon name. I thought it might be fun to have people guess what it might be. If you have a guess, please feel free to comment it! A hint is, it has something to do with a general of the distant past. Either way, do you think I should add his name to the script eventually, or keep it blank? I may even leave it up to a creator by creator basis, who knows! Either way, I think an air of mystery is really fun so I include that a lot, but I also really like to give my characters names, haha. Anyway, thank you for reading!

(The title is a joke referencing a video where D accused me of being RP)
No new content from Dawn today, but RP made a video calling her a predator and saying her and other EP creators stayed silent for the last year to try to protect the community as a whole. Says D has mentally deteriorated over the last year (I personally don't agree, I think she goes through pretty consistent cycles and people with her mental condition are just Sissyphus pushing the rock up a hill unable to ever change). Also says D uses "super fans" to do her bidding and then pretends it wasn't her fault when they take the heat, like the KO situation. Commenters on the video accuse some of the "super fans" of being fake Dawn accounts, since she slips up and comments on the wrong name from time to time. I think it's a mix of both, and that there are some real unhinged people out there that support her.

I was mildly interested in marie during the height of her fame in covid. I knew a handful of her songs by heart but didn’t know much about her. Earlier this year though I watched some of her old music videos with the vhs filter and yellow letters and I was like omg this is so cool. Then I discovered her soundcloud and then I discovered her norwegian music (have studied norwegian on and off i liked using it to practice) and I was like omg this is what ive been missing my whole life. It just has this certain feel to it. It’s what made “we fell in love in october” an instant hit. And I still enjoyed her make it go quiet stuff that I had listened to in the past. I burned 2 cds and listened to them nonstop and was really excited about her new album.
When “too much” came out i tried to like it but it something about it was just immediately off. Right off the bat I was not a big fan of the name of the album, like couldn’t she have thought of something at least a little bit creative??? It doesnt even mean anything or make you appreciate it. The cover art is just like yeah whatever.
Once the whole thing came out I really became a Negative Nelly. I found the “guys im so happy and this is me talking about how happy i am” thing obnoxious. That is great for her and i’m sure if i was her friend I would be pretty excited about it but she is an internet stranger i’m not going to appreciate art because it was theraputic for the artist to make im going to appreciate it because it says something beautiful or interesting that i can enjoy and take away from it. You could be like “she doesnt have to be sad anymore she can grow and change as a person and her music is gonna reflect that!!” and yeah that’s true but she should grow into something better not worse. Theres more to life than just sad and happy and when you try to write music based off of a vague feeling of being ok that you’re trying to chase its not going to end well. When you reach a point in your life that you think you have it all figured out chances are you don’t. It kind of reminds me of what billie eilish said about her “Happier than ever” album. But back to marie. The album just felt forced, she should have waited until she had some better creative juices flowing.
The first song on the album is the worst its literally just sounds like a diary entry. It doesnt have any flow its just words. I’ve found that to be a reoccurring problem with girl in red, idk if its cuz english is her second language or what but so many of her songs dont sound like songs in certain places they just sound like words. If i were a musician and a lyricist or something I would probably be able to describe it better but i’m not so i hope ur able to pick up what i’m putting down from my vague attempt at explaining it. Anyway, it worked while she was a little guy indie soundcloud artist kid recording stuff in her bedroom but now that shes going for a more adult and professional and clean cut sort of image its not working. I just think polished is not a good look for her work, maybe her execution was just poor but my impression was that the original charm of her work was that it was messy and real and rough around the edges. Now it’s just safe and sterile. I think thats my main complaint.
The music videos were obviously nice and well done but it just lacked anything to keep me interested.
I dont know what more to say about the individual songs because they all sort of just sounded the same. When they werent boring they were just awkward. Like yeah it wasnt all bad I still listen to some but not as much as i thought i would be.
I think I blame the fact that she recently signed a record label. When I saw the obnoxious social media posts i knew it was the beginning of the end. I always enjoyed seeing her social medias in the past because they were so real, she didnt post much and when she did it was just silly and usually didnt even have a point. But posting so much about the album took so much away from its value. When you commercialize art it stops being so much art as it is a product. I dont know shit about how the music industry works, but i’m pretty sure it’s hard to make a career out of being an indie creator. I’m sure when she was in a place where she didnt know what to do with her career next and the old internet culture that boosted her to fame was dying out whatever deal she got offered seemed like a great idea. But i think that was her downfall. This is the end of Girl In Red: The Artist and the beginning of Girl In Red: The Celebrity Corporate Entity. I think she should have taken a few more years to find herself despite the pressure to release new music.
tl;dr: the new album just seemed like its purpose was to be something safe that would make the most money instead of something beautiful.

Hadn't seen anyone mention this content creator and she has a very small following, so I wanted to bring attention to her. Her name is Lisa Ann ASMR on youtube and TikTok. Her content just hits the spot for me. I've seen a bunch of creators, but I always find myself going back to her and JustAbbyGal. JustAbbyGal is also fantastic and naturally talented. Even the day before my MCAT exam, it was 2am and I could not sleep, I tried everything and nothing worked but listening to JustAbbyGal. Check them out and let me know your thoughts or if you have anyone similar you'd recommend to me. :) Hope everyone's week is going well!

As the name implies, I’m still busy working on the Fanojo writing project. Sorry for the delay, life has been hectic. Anyhow, I thought I’d run a few stuff by you guys. Right now I’m working with 11 Fan GF’s (thanks to all the creators who agreed to be a part of it) to make a version of Daily Live’s Of. My longest segment (right now) is a little over 500 words. Is that too long? By the end, there will be around 400+ words per Fan GF. In comparison, the average segment in the real series is around 100 or so words. With 1100 per chapter. So I wanted to see how you guys feel about reading such a monstrous thing. Should I split the chapter into parts? If so, how should I divide it? Should there be a certain word count or GF/segment count? I want to make sure everyone can enjoy it. However, I don’t want to tone down the word count per segment. I feel like every word is needed to help enhance the story.
Either way, any suggestions are welcomed. Also, if you’re wanting to join, please feel free to say something! However, after starting this project, I have developed a certain checklist to ensure everything runs smoothly.
