Working on my cryptid novel idea, part 5

Okay, I've finally started writing the novel that I did some stream of consciousness posts about ( "Stream of consciousness about a novel idea I have, part 1" , "Stream of consciousness about a novel idea I have, part 2" , and "Stream of consciousness about a novel idea I have, part 3" ). Now, I want to keep it unpublished, but I also want credit for working on it (lol). So, with that in mind, I'll do a post like this when I've worked on it for a bit, and you can shoot me a message if you'd like access to the Google doc.  NB: While there will be multiple posts in this vein, I will not link them to each other because the text will remain the same, so linking to part 1 from part 2 (etc.) won't yield any new information.  Photo by Bernd 📷 Dittrich on Unsplash

15 ideas for Dropout TV's Make Some Noise minigame "Alternate Universe"

For those unfamiliar with Dropout TV , it's a comedy subscription streaming service run by the production company that was formerly CollegeHumor. One of their series is Make Some Noise (a spinoff of Game Changer ). Most episodes of Make Some Noise has three comedian players, improvising scenes based on prompts from the host, Sam Reich, that often feature impressions, noise-making abilities, lore building, and teamwork. The show has three rounds, plus a minigame before each round. One of those mingames is "Alternate Universe" where players are given a category, then each is given an "alternate universe" version of that prompt (e.g. "Spider-Man" is the category) and then, after each player completes the prompt they can buzz in and pitch their own alternate versions with an impression (e.g. a player could say "Afraid of Spiders Spider-Man" and then act out what that would look like). Anyways, here are 15 ideas for the Make Some Noise minigame...

Thoughts on RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars season 11, episode 6

Time for bracket 2, episode 3!  Oh, Salina...you should've won this past challenge Oop Aura is giving Vivacious her point I want Salina to be happy Vivacious, Salina, and Silky are my favorites in this slap challenge Silky wins which is pretty fair Makeover challenge! Huh, Silky takes a challenge Uh oh, Crystal's daddy wants a different drag journey Vivacious continues to be hilarious These daddies are pretty funny Ugh I hate that the "Don't Say Gay" bill is a thing I like Ru's purple dress, but I think it's Ru's attempt at Shuga Cain's epic purple dress (and it just falls short) I like Silky and her daddy's looks Aura and Whora look great Salina and Titi look SO alike (and the outfits are pretty and fun) Crystal and her daddy's looks are wild and it's tough for me to tell if they look alike because my eyes don't know where to settle (which may be a strategy?) Vivacious incorporating Ornacia is brilliant April and May look alike, bu...

Anyways, here are 15 character idea...

Thoughts on 90 Day Fiancé: The Last Resort season 3, episode 1

Season premiere! I am excited that this time we're in a castle (which I sorta hope is haunted) Oop it looks like Shekinah pulls a "Go back to your country" Is this show going to be like The Traitors  (that's what the opening credits are giving) Was that caution tape in Russ and Paola's home? Did the couples not know they were going to a castle? Sorry, receptionist, but you are giving me HAUNTED vibes Sarper goes on a whole face journey  Also, lol them putting Sarper and Shekinah into the Lady Jane Grey room because the receptionist says that Lady Jane Grey was the only woman Henry VIII ever loved which is definitely the producers hinting at the fact that Shekinah is the only woman Sarper has ever loved. HOWEVER, being the nerd I am, I know that Lady Jane Grey and Queen Jane Seymour ARE TWO DIFFERENT PEOPLE Jenny...did you think a king and queen would be living in the castle while this show was being filmed? Wait, why are Russ and Paola living in an RV? Okay, are a...

Thoughts on 90 Day Fiancé season 12, episode 4

Time for some quick-to-arrive tensions! Gosh Mallorie and Rasit stress me out with how they're traveling It is pretty funny that Rasit got through customs etc. faster than Mallorie Mallorie and Rasit do seem to really understand each other Mido doesn't even seem to be able to fake liking Debby So Debby collects eggs? Ah right Mido is a virgin Mido...I know the point was for Debby to not be dressed sexily, but it doesn't come off well to say Debby was not sexy at all Patricia the prophetess does have a nice ring to it Are...we not nervous about the geese swarming? Geese are mean Tom, why does it bug you so much that Paula thanks the universe? Wait, is California affordable?
