Debs is prom in my country haha, Ok, how do I go about this without seeming like a pick-me? Now, this is probably the last thing that should be on my mind due to the results being soon, but idk why, the overwhelming, looming prospect of going to the Debs (prom) alone is just very much not something my mind is appreciating atm, icl.

Like, I am seeing all my friends with dates and such, and I would be the first person in my family to not go with somebody. Yes, I would still enjoy the night, but it’s just this overwhelming insecurity about everything—myself, my appearance, just endless knots in my stomach.

Of course, if I wanted a date, sure, I could get one, but I’m very fussy in the fact that I don’t want to go unless I know the person. But I also don’t want to ask anyone. That’s so daunting and upsetting that I couldn’t handle a rejection in my current state of mind, so now I’m like, I guess if anyone wanted to ask me (unlikely).

I know some people will say your value isn’t defined by a tacky night out, but my head gets overwhelmed and sad sometimes. My Debs isn’t for a while still, but I’m just unsure what to do. :()

disventure camp moment

Im mostly done my collection but if you are local and have something I might need lmk!

I think Youtooz has to do something about having Ricky Berwick on all of their purchase confirmation pages, because Ricky Berwick is a very unlikeable guy. Other than his really off-putting misogynistic and transphobic jokes, the thing that really makes me say this is the fact he just put out a video calling people with intellectual disabilities the R-slur. Obviously, Ricky is physically disabled, but that shouldn't mean such hateful language should be used. Is that really the creator you want on all of your purchases?

Mine? Sun amazing S tier voice, just not in love the song picks

blegh

Hello. This is a for-fun analysis of Toastie, Moth, and Conkers. It's just for fun—no disrespect to any of these people. It's an overdramatic analysis of something nobody cares about.

So, for one, I think The Masked Singer UK has had a very good track record for winners. I think every season, bar Season 3, had the best vocalist win, plain and simple. And I think Season 7 almost lives up to that. Enter Toastie and Moth.

Now, I attended the semi-final of Season 7, and I was a Toastie fangirl through and through. I cannot explain how strong her vocals were in the arena. It was electric. This woman's costume was so first-boot-esque, but then she erupts with these stunning vocals. It's almost unheard of. Don't get me wrong, Moth sounded pretty good, but I loved Toastie. I voted for Toastie both rounds, and going into the final, I thought her chances were pretty slim, but I held out hope regardless.

Now, going into this competition, I think Toastie had enormous competition. I mean, Conkers and Moth are hard to beat. Conkers is the top example of a funny, cute mask kids adore. The cameras didn't show half of this guy's movements and stims after his performances. He was giving it 110 percent. Then Moth has debatably the most beautiful costume of the series, paired with beautiful feminine energy. No doubt these two got so many votes every time they were up for voting. Then comes Toastie. Now, if Can of Worms hadn't messed up his Top 4 song, could he have potentially been easier for Toastie to beat? Well, there's no point worrying about that. Can of Worms is out, and it's Toastie, Conkers, and Moth.

Now, to be fair to the producers, they gave Toastie third in the running order, which is insanely fair. Going last is a massive advantage. I mean, for the semi-finals, Toastie performed about two and a half hours before the voting. This can have the effect of the last act flopping, like what happened with Can of Worms, but for the most part, performing last is a super great thing. In fact, the only acts in Masked Singer history who were eliminated after performing last were Can of Worms, Monster, and now, unfortunately, Toastie. Because, yeah, listen, the main core issue that led to this loss was simple:

Conkers and Moth lucked out with their song choices. Conkers got "Don't Stop Movin'" by Five, an iconic 2000s boy band hit that's fun for kids and nostalgic for adults. Moth got "I Want to Know What Love Is," a beloved '80s hit. Toastie? Now, if she had to pick a Disney song, that's not even that bad of an idea. Hercules specifically? Okay. But instead of "I Won't Say (I'm in Love)" or even "Zero to Hero," she picks "A Star Is Born," which isn't really a well-liked song.

This was Toastie's worst performance. Sorry, I honestly hate it. She sounds good, but there's just so much garbage happening on stage, from the chicken to the stars, and you can barely hear Mica's voice other than the loud belts. I don't know if you could even hear her that well in the studio. So yeah, this basically doomed Toastie. Now, I know we vote before the duets, but despite duetting with Pufferfish, she also had the worst song choice and duet.

The votes come in. Toastie is out, and what a non-surprise. Sorry, what a fumble. What a god-awful song choice. Sorry, Mica had the voice to win but just didn't work it out. And what's annoying is that if she did make it past the first round, she would have done better! Now, of course, if we still had the Song of the Series round, she could have whipped out her "River Deep – Mountain High" and run away with it. But with the new sing-off format, she could have beaten Conkers easily. When it's down to the Top 2, more people would be inclined to actually vote for the stronger singer. Then I think, in the context of the sing-off, Toastie might have been able to overpower Moth. Moth could still have won easily, don't get me wrong, but yeah, I do think Toastie could have. But unfortunately, no.

What a shame! I love Moth, but she is very... Queen Bee/Pufferfish-esque as a winner. Toastie is unlike any singer the UK version has ever seen, let alone a winner, and it would have been great to prove that, regardless of your costume, you could win. But I can't say Toastie was robbed, unfortunately. She had the worst performance, so yeah. Funny enough, even Plunge wanted her to win! But still, despite all my gargle, Toastie and Moth are still amazing singers and contestants.

Ozzy the Ozolut, for those of you who do not know, is a Skylanders YouTuber who usually makes videos reviewing Skylanders or telling story times about acquiring them.

I used to be a decent fan of Ozzy, but now I think he has fallen off immensely, mainly due to this insane hyperfixation on the Christian faith. I do not care if you are religious; that's your prerogative. Go ahead and believe whatever you want. Hell, even if you are that devoted, Ozzy, you can put something small in at the end.

But at the end of this guy's videos, he's just stating Bible quotes. He's reading quotes from the Bible for like a minute. All of this guy's newest Instagram posts are about Jesus. If you want an account for religious stuff, go ahead, but separate it from the Skylanders stuff.

He also posts quotes implying that non-believers of Christ are sinners, which I find outrageously offensive and strange. Also, there have been some semi-transphobic comments, which are pretty yucky.

I just do not enjoy his videos anymore. He's become more of a lecturer than somebody who's fun to watch.

There’s a rumor that Youtooz is making a 16-inch Gill Grunt weighted plush, and honestly, I’d find that super disappointing.

I generally don’t really want weighted Skylanders plushes, mainly because with shipping and everything, it would end up costing me almost €60 to get one here.

But also... why Gill Grunt? He already has a plush. If we need another Gill Grunt product, give us a figure. I don’t really want any weighted plushes, but if they are going to make one, at least make it a deep-cut, obscure character like Fire Viper or Gulper instead of Gill Grunt.

This could just be a joke or a rumor, but honestly, I’ll be pretty bummed if it turns out to be real
