Gem: I did see my favorite hate comment ever today though? I-I think it might be my fav-my favorite hate comment. And--it-it was that I'm turning Hermitcraft gay. (she laughs) It-it gave me a-a very good laugh. It--they, they meant it as hate, so genuinely, but I did not take it that way.

Gem: Like--(giggling) I. Find myself in situations so frequently, where the men are roleplaying kissing each other, and if I could stop them, I would, okay. I would be more homophobic, I would stop them! I can't! They keep going, I (through laughter) I don't know what it is.

Gem: But it's not me, it's-it's th--nobody's holding a knife to them right now and making them do that. (laughs)

Gem: They're just like it. I don't-it's not me. (laughs) God, it was one of my favorite comments I've gotten. I-I immediately sent it to Grian. (laughs)

Gem: (eight seconds of silence) I'll take credit, if I-if somebody has to take credit, I can. (laughs) But I don't think, I don't think it's me. (five seconds of silence, then, laughter) Entry (? she says a Twitch chatter's name here) thank you for the twenty-three months, I haven't, but I'll look into it. I have heard--well, I've heard of Project Hail Mary, actually--

It is not too late

I feel like we can all agree that one of the things that gives Scott such an edge in this series is that he's really good at always seeming like he's in control of any situation. I've watched Scott bluff his way out of fights that by all accounts should have killed him just because he acted more confident than he was and psyched his opponents out into retreating when they could have killed him in one shot if they called his bluff.

Scott is a control freak, not in regards to other people or his environment (he's remarkably adaptable to any situation, he knows how to bend, scott's tactics wouldn't work half as well if he was always trying to control the world around him instead of moving with it), but in regards to himself and how he's perceived. Scott keeps a tight grip over how he reacts to things and how he portrays himself to others. Because Scott feels safest when other people think he's in control of the situation, or at the very least unbothered when things go wrong.

Unfortunately, I think Scott's a bit too good at this, because even when the audience recognizes that Scott is putting on a facade to an extent, I think he's still taken at face value as being emotionally unaffected or in control of things when he isn't.

The biggest thing I see this with is how people interpret Flower Husbands in Third Life. They hear Scott crack some jokes about being the one in charge in their relationship and see Scott act relatively calm and unbothered by most things throughout Third Life and their takeaway is to take Scott at face value as being 'in control', sometimes even to the point of playing him up as actively controlling and abusive.

But the thing is, if we read between the lines and look past Scott's ever present facade of control, you start to notice that Jimmy won all their fights, right up to the big one where Jimmy decided they were going to war and Scott, despite his protests, followed Jimmy into the war that killed them. Which..is unsurprising, to me.

Jimmy is stubborn and brave, it's in his nature. He can work with a team just fine, sure, but when he gets something into his head he goes for it, and if that means breaking off from the team to do it, then he does that.

Scott, on the other hand, is a born mediator, he's flexible and social, he keeps his teams together no matter how much he has to compromise, and the whole way he acts perfectly content with it even when there's frustration or anxiety bubbling under the surface because he's invested in keeping up the appearance of always being fine.

Because Jimmy is primarily invested in his own personal goals and Scott is primarily invested in keeping the team together and safe, Jimmy gets his way every time they have a major disagreement.

I often whine about flower husbands only being mentioned so they can break up in fanfiction so it might sound weird when I say this: I LIKE toxic fh. It's not my favourite but I like it. it's not it happening that annoys me. It's how It's done that really grinds my gears. Waxes my copper. Whatever other things Grian has said with the same meaning. So I'll explain my thoughts on how I'll do a fh break up.

gonna post this on my tiktok after this and hope it doesnt flop entirely

Gonna make one hundred soups this year. Starting off with kapustnyak, carrot soup, chickpea soup, and parsnip soup.

Can't stop won't stop. 15 soups so far.

Four new BEAN BASED SOUPS, the first one trailblazing because it was a taco soup recipe courtesy of @alex-of-1000-dumbasseries. 61 IN THE BAG, 39 TO GO.

Thank you, I will take these codfish words to my grave. Also, I have achieved 8 more, putting me at 77 soups. How is 70 plus 9 photos 77? I'm glad you asked.

A COLOURFUL BATCH featuring another Certified Tumblr Soup because people kept recommending Yeto's Soup, and they were right.

100/100!
