ok so i've decided i'm going to make a new tumblr blog and migrate to that soon, leaving magentagalaxies up as an archive + probably posting on here again when i have any major update to my creative projects (which, yes, still includes the documentary!! it's still happening even if we're currently on hiatus - we just have a very small crew/budget and i can't be overworking myself the way i used to)
haven't made the new blog yet (i have a lot of tasks to complete this week so new tumblr is on the list for after i complete the more prescient ones) but it'll be a lot of general life updates, writing, & reblogs of posts i find funny. however it'll be centrally focused on a new project i'm developing called "parasocial media" which is based on a sitcom concept i started writing at age twelve!!
it's been so fun revisiting old writing from my first years on the internet, and i've been doing a lot of character re-designs (and straight up re-drawing art i did in middle school!) so i'm super excited to start posting those on there. i haven't posted much visual art on tumblr before but with a project requiring me to build the world from the ground up + apply my current skill level to a concept i was barely fleshing out over a decade ago it's been such a fun challenge
i also have some other projects in the works - i'm making a memoir/video essay/mockumentary/sketch show about my time working at spirit halloween that should be good to go by this spooky season, and i have a proper video essay on the evolution of simpsons future episodes that i'm nerding out about
last thing - i've been taking a standup class recently and last week i did a comedy set about the traumatic shit i went through in april/may 2025 for the first time. i don't want to go into details publicly yet (or maybe ever?? i don't owe you that info) but it was such a healing experience being able to own that and laugh at how ridiculous the situation was at its core. got some great feedback on how i could talk more about it onstage while still maintaining my own privacy, and even had a full-circle moment related to the standup set that encouraged me to advocate for my own autonomy and leave that situation
anyway if any of y'all are interested in taking a zoom-based standup/sketch class with one of my new favorite comedy mentors pls dm me it's been such a good experience. hope you all are doing well and i'll post the new url as soon as it's up!

We do not know how the hell the Gay Pirate Plate was first acquired. This being a point of contention is actually pretty plot-relevant; the saga of the Gay Pirate Plate began with my grandmother and her sister, who, for some ungodly reason, both BADLY wanted the Gay Pirate Plate and believed it to be rightfully theirs.
I should back up, firstly, to establish: The Gay Pirate Plate is the cheapest, tackiest, ugliest plate in existence.
It is in no way a collector’s item. It is physically impossible for it to complement anyone’s decor, because the colors in it are garish. It’s just a ceramic plate with a gay pirate painted on it, and the painting is, this cannot be emphasized enough, extremely bad.
(How do we know the pirate is gay if he’s just posing on a plate? Listen. Fully 100% to stereotype, but he is. He is gay. There’s an energy. That pirate is a flaming homosexual. That pirate has sex with men and does it frequently. That pirate is fucking gay, all right, he just is.)
Anyway. The point is that this is an extremely cheap and ugly plate with a poorly-executed painting of pirate on it who is like a nine on the Kinsey scale.
My grandmother and her sister fought a blood feud over this plate for their entire lives. It would be on the wall in my grandma’s house, and then her sister would visit, and then it would be gone. She’d visit her sister and the plate would be on the wall and her sister would pretend it had always been there. She would steal it back, hang it up, and, when her sister visited, pretend it had always been there. This continued for DECADES.
When the sister died, the Gay Pirate Plate lived triumphantly in my grandmother’s house. And then my grandmother died. And my aunt, who had lived with her and been her carer throughout her life, rightfully inherited their house.
We visit my aunt after the funeral and stay with her for a week or two.
Me, my sister, and our dad. Her brother.
The three of us look at each other. We don’t say anything. We studiously avoid making eye contact with the Gay Pirate Plate mounted proud and ugly on the wall. We notice one another studiously avoiding looking at it. We notice one another noticing. We say nothing. We come to a silent consensus. We pack up to leave. We get in the van. Our aunt comes out to say goodbye. I loudly announce I need to use the restroom before we leave. She obviously stays outside to continue talking to my dad.
I take down the Gay Pirate Plate, stuff it under my oversized sweatshirt, go outside, and get in the van. She happily waves goodbye as we drive off.
Two days later my dad gets a phone call that opens with hysterical laughter and “You FUCKING ASSHOLE did you seriously STEAL THE PLATE–”
Anyway. The gay pirate plate lives in my dad’s house currently.
But he’s trying to get me and my sister out to visit him. And plate mounts are cheap.
The rules of Gay Pirate Plate are simple by the way.
The plate must be clearly and openly displayed in a place of great prominence whenever it is in your possession. When it is not in your possession, the display piece must remain in place. This is where you would put your gay pirate plate, IF YOU HAD ONE.
No active steps may be taken to prevent the theft of the Gay Pirate Plate. That goes against the spirit of the game, as does attempting to hide it.
The plate MUST be stolen and cannot be gifted or removed with permission. Should you witness attempted theft of the Gay Pirate Plate you are required to intervene and return it to its place.
Every time your sibling successfully absconds with the Gay Pirate Plate, you must respond with indignant fury, as if you have not also repeatedly and blatantly stolen the Gay Pirate Plate.
my family fucked up my life by using spoonerisms interchangeably with their true phrase counterparts since before i was born and now i can’t escape from instinctively saying shit like “im gonna shake a tower”

are you still making the buddy cole documentary? it's been months since you posted anything about it.
hello anon! thank you for your message. i understand the concern - technically, it's been months since i posted anything. my computer was broken and i wasn't able to sort things out for a while, but now that i'm back i'll provide as transparent of an update as i can
short answer -
YES
thanks for writing!
long answer - it's been a difficult year for me both personally and professionally, particularly at the intersection of the two. and while i don't want to go into every detail that's contributed to me not posting documentary progress as much as i used to, a big contributing factor is burnout.
as you may know if you've been following this doc's production, i went on tour with scott thompson for all of april and part of may. this pretty much amounts to working on the documentary 24/7. i filmed every show, dozens of hours of behind-the-scenes footage, and kept up with social media as much as i could during that time. this doc doesn't have a marketing team. i was making every post and reply myself, often while performing numerous other roles both in service of my own documentary and assisting in the production of the show.
writing it all out now, this sounds like so much fun!! and it was!!! look at this plucky young queer comedian who not only met her hero but also got to direct a documentary about him and be an integral piece in putting his show together!!!! but it was also exhausting, physically and emotionally
because one of the reasons i was posting so much during that time was because the crowdfunding campaign was open, and i was constantly feeling like any moment I wasn't posting was directly prohibiting how many people it could reach. don't get me wrong - i'm extremely grateful to everyone who contributed any amount to the campaign, and i would complete this documentary on a budget of $0 if i had to, because i truly believe in the story being told. but my ability to be on that tour directly came from the funds raised from the previous crowdfunding campaign. and since i knew i needed more footage in order to craft a satisfying narrative conclusion, that anxiety hung over me every second i was on that tour, and even more the second i was off.
that's the other thing - "satisfying narrative conclusion." going into this tour, i had a general idea of how the narrative arc of the documentary would go. story threads were brought up in the footage i got in early 2024, expanded on during that summer, and all i needed to do was capture a sweet "where are they now", interview a few more people about their thoughts on the character, parallel that with the archival materials i've been given, bing bang boom we've got a doc. except that didn't happen.
theoretically, sure. i could take all the footage i have now, cut it in a cohesive order, slap on some narration and sappy music and pretend everything happened the way i directed it. but the appeal of documentary is that it's a true story. and that's not the truth.
these past few months have taught me a lot about the truth. i made the decision early on in this process not to be a fly on the wall. i always found documentaries disingenuous with that technique, since obviously people act different when they know they are being observed. i am a subjective being, and my presence influences the behavior of those around me. but i've discovered that isn't in any way "more honest" than what other documentarians do, because there's always a line with how much truth can be shown. and by refusing to be a fly on the wall, i was now having to contend with how much of my own truth would become another plot thread, and how that may differ from the experiences of others.
this is my first documentary. i knew it would be a learning experience. but i didn't expect to learn how much more honest i can be in fiction. in my fiction, i can split up the contradictions of myself, of another person, of a relationship, into multiple characters, then thoroughly dissect the complicated emotions through allegory. i can bare every bit of love, frustration, hope, anger, grief, and connection, confident that i only have to explain the "true story" that i want to tell, since everyone will be focused on the abstract. i began this documentary with the question of why scott continues to create through buddy cole. in this moment, i think i've found my answer.
the documentary will happen. i spent the first six months of the year living and breathing everything kids in the hall, even if not all of that made it to social media. i'm taking a break now, but even within this break i recently transferred all of my documentary footage onto one hard drive so i could back it up in the same place (none of it was deleted by the computer malfunction, don't worry).
but also, i can't spend every day as the character i want to be in this story. it's not fair to myself, it's not fair to scott, and it's not fair to you as the viewer. i am a complicated person who doesn't actually love every single joke he tells. i have other tv shows i'm into, and other projects i'm excited to bring into the world. me taking the time to be that multifaceted person doesn't mean the documentary is going to suffer. it gives me the perspective to present this character in as honest of a manner as i can, because the truth of buddy cole isn't the entire identity of scott, and it shouldn't be the entire identity of its director.
I am back! apologies for yet another extended hiatus with no explanation, but unfortunately my laptop (which i had JUST FIXED, as per my previous absence) fully stopped working forever and it took over a month to get a new laptop and figure out how to set it up (i went from windows to mac, it's a whole thing. i didn't have access to any of my old files, and now that i do i have to copy each of them to this laptop individually)
anyway - i'm still probably not going to be posting the most frequently but i just wanted to let you all know i'm doing alright
ALSO - does anyone know what the chrome/firefox extension was that made tumblr have the old formatting? (i.e. home/explore/create post, etc along the top bar, no radar/suggested blogs on the side, etc)

the "[blank] of [blank] and [blank]" titles are simply out of control. what do you mean I just saw one titled "the primal of blood and bone" (primal, you may note, is an adjective, and thus the title makes no fucking sense. the primal WHAT of blood and bone???) and, to add insult to injury, the special edition is going to be printed with garlic-scented ink in partnership with hellman's (yes, the mayonnaise company). what?
it's real I swear here's the deal listing and you can literally buy it here. I know it sounds absolutely fucking absurd but it does in fact exist. for some reason.
also guess who relates to the lyrics of wonderwall now (it's me and it's not a silly meme song or a cheesy love song it's a how the fuck did i get myself into this situation)
leave it to me to release the first teaser for a major project only to realize not even two weeks later that oh shit this project is going to be way bigger than i thought it was lmao (i'm still doing it - like if anything i'm MORE excited now - but it's not gonna look like how i described it bc it's getting more things!!)
i'm not usually someone to listen to movie scores on their own but damn the score for "weapons" slaps. especially the "james" piece like well done mr. cregger 10/10
I've been teasing this project for months, but in honor of its source material's ten year anniversary, what better way to announce it than a conversation with my 13-year-old self?
Presenting
UNTITLED
REWATCH
PODCAST
In September 2015, I began writing a "workplace sitcom" about a cast of personified websites and posting weekly episode scripts to the fanfiction website Wattpad. This project continued throughout the entirety of middle school, with some episodes drawing in up to eleven readers! While the show never went viral, it's always been an important part of my story, since it helped me discover a love for comedy that persists to this day.
In May 2025, I did a full reread of the series for the first time in years. The experience was surreal, seeing such an unapologetic time capsule of my tweenage fixations. I couldn't have known at the time, but I was personifying an internet culture that would no longer exist (for better and worse). Still, certain aspects felt even more prescient as an adult, somehow encapsulating the existential crisis that comes from being a "working artist" in your early 20s.
The podcast is still in its early stages of development and as such does not have a release date. We're also not launching any kind of crowdfunding, opting instead to produce this as cheaply as possible from the same blind enthusiasm that motivates all middle school projects. However, if you would like to be involved, we're currently casting voice actors to recreate clips of character dialogue, and each episode will bring on at least one guest to help dissect just what was going on in the pages of Antisocial Media.
I'm so excited to continue sharing updates as it progresses, and I hope you all enjoy my "rewatch podcast for a show that was never made"

i'm not ready to formally announce my upcoming project yet but i still feel the need to vague-post about how fucking surreal it is hearing people voice act dialogue that I wrote when I was literally twelve years old??? like i can't even describe the feeling, it's not even just intellectually bizarre in the "wow this is a silly thing i haven't thought about in years and now it's top of mind again" way, it's like genuinely visceral like "why is [character name] real and why does he sound like my improv friend"
