Murder’s a game my college does every year where everyone’s given a plastic knife with someone’s name on it. The knives are shoved under your door at midnight and for the next week you have to try and ‘kill’ the person on your knife. If you kill them, you get their knife and have to kill that person, and so on, until there is one lone survivor. You can’t kill someone in the dining hall or in their room, or if they’re naked. I’m pretty sure the prize is a bottle of vodka.
It gets super intense; some floors unscrew most of their lights to make it harder to find the right person, or keep the fire emergency doors closed with black garbage bags taped up so you can’t even see into the floor. Some people walk around in nothing but a towel so that if someone comes at them they can just drop it and be immune. People walk in groups. Everyone’s suspicious of everyone. Friends are no longer trusted. No one and nowhere is safe.
it begins
We used to play this in highschool after we heard it got banned at a rival school. We used markers though and drew the names out of a literal hat. It was super fun since we would do things like put the marker caps on upsidedown so it would look like we are not hostile or use rubberbands to basically make a hidden blade.
Rubberbands and paper bullets were also allowed as long as you coloured the paper bullet your colour. it got super intense and was fun
we ALL knew matt would do this shit. turn it around on us and antagonize those who are sympathetic to
csa survivors.
This is extremely sad because the tweet was made by someone who works on Steven Universe expressing how Steven and Peridot weren’t romantically interested in each other (okay fine), but then people used that tweet to justify bullying people (of course, big fucking surprise). Mcburnett took the tweet down and put this up, and now is getting shit for telling people not to bully and getting accused of Condoning Terrible Things™ as per usual for anti-shippers/the tumblr SJ crowd. The same thing happened with Ian and Amber who also worked/work on Steven Universe who spoke out against the bullying and then got accused of being terrible people condoning horrible abuse once again because people pulled their words completely out of context (and in this case it was to defend Zamii who did not remotely deserve any of the bullying she was subjected to under people’s false sense of ‘justice’).
For the first time ever, social media gives fans a way to directly interact with the people who make the things they enjoy, and this is a wonderful thing for many reasons. Yet, people on this site just use this to feel superior and harass content creators just pushing them away from ever listening to anyone. This is the reason a lot of them have either become hard to get a hold of or completely shut themselves off from fans altogether and in extreme cases even deleted blogs.
How many times are these people going to harass the Steven Universe crew and content creators in general? It’s pathetic and revolting and if you contribute to this behavior you should be completely ashamed of yourself.
Steven and Peridot both sort of… flipped the script when it came to their intelligence and general knowledge.
Steven, in early episodes, often seemed rather dim-witted. He was naive, didn’t think things through, didn’t pick up on when people made fun of him, that kind of stuff. However, from the recent Too Cool for School comic, we know that Steven is actually surprisingly clever and well-educated.
(Pearl. Stop that. What is that face. Stop.)
Meanwhile, Peridot, who was introduced as this genius technician character, quickly lost all respectability. As it turns out, she really only has a good grasp on the kindergartens (and, as of Log Date, cheesy romance dramas) and is pretty much clueless on all other fronts, to the point where she actually looks up to Steven as a source of information.
So it’s kinda funny how these two both sorta flipped their first impressions around, you know? I dunno, I thought that was interesting.
