Slimecicle: Who's Phone Guy?

Ranboo: Phone Guy? I – hold on, give me a second.

Slimecicle: [Laughs] "Okay, checking the checking the database."

Ranboo: Oh, a lot of yaoi here in the images tab, that's crazy.

Slimecicle: What is– what is yaoi? Is that like is that like "yeowch"?

Ranboo: Oh, yaoi? No no no, yaoi– no, yaoi is not–

Slimecicle: When you stub your toe?

Ranboo: –a combination of "yeowch" and "owie."

Slimecicle: Yeowie!

Ranboo: No, it's not– [Laughs] It's not that, actually.

Slimecicle: That's what that is, right?

Ranboo: Yeah, it's just– it's usually just fan art of two guys kissing. That's usually what it is.

Slimecicle: Ok, wait– is phone guy- is Phone Guy kissing?

Ranboo: Phone Guy? Probably? I mean, look at– I want you to take a look at this. Hold on, lemme–

Slimecicle: Ok, so send me Phone Guy yaoi.

Ranboo: Yeah. Here, I got you, lemme– so there's some. Hold on, let me send you some more.

Slimecicle: What the fu–

Ranboo: "Do you sleep talk?" Yeah, um, so, Tubbo made a list of the things that I said, and I'm gonna tell you the two creepiest ones that I said. Because I slept talked a lot and it was proper yelling as well. So, one of them was.. um- *changes subgoal* but basically, right, one of them was- I just screamed and started to bang the wall with my fist. So you just hear, like, random noises and then me just going "PAH! PAH! PAH! PAH! PAH! PAH! PAH!" like that; and then another one is that I actually got up, walked over, right, looked him directly in the eyes apparently and said "welcome boys and girls", and then walked back; and apparently I also said- I also cursed a lot apparently. Yeah, I walked over, I just stare and I just went "welcome boys and girls", just like full speed and everything. So, um, as you can see this is affecting me well.. Yeah. So I, um, kind of did that. I swore, apparently, a lot, which is really really funny; and then I also just did a bunch of screaming and everything. I said "it feels like there's a thousand gloves", I said that. I also- I apparently, I just, like, rolled over a lot. I, like, shook, you know? I, like, shook, which was weird. I just kept on hitting the wall. Yeah.. Yeah. So, um, that was cool. That was, um- yeah.. yeah.. That's- *laughs* we're doing great, chat *talks about changing subgoal*. So, yeah, it was really really weird. Because I apparently just, like- I sleep walk apparently, a lot. Like, a lot. *laughs* Um, so.. that is something new, that is something new for me.. that is something new for me, chat, that is definitely a new thing. It's terrifying.. legitimately terrifying... *changes subgoal* enderwalk? Yeah, I guess.. I guess..

i love ranboo

i didn’t know ranboo was in pokemon???

Prettyboo.

MORE RANBOO DOODLES BUT MAKE FUSE THE CC AND C! VERISONS

Fucking around with roleplay bots is fun

Happy 3 year anniversary, Mr. Boo

Definitely not losing my mind over the fact that ranboo bakes a cake 2 is going to be out TOMMOROW

My sincere reaction after realizing ranboo is now 20:

the one and only!

gen loss painting I did for my digital art class :3 still super proud of this one!! the hair took foreverrrr to get right

incase i don’t see ya, good afternoon, good evening and good night!

Reanimated

feel free to use this to convince ppl to watch genloss i filled it out for fun :]

Get in the Genloss train

I think it’s be funny if those I’d us obsessed with genloss just start to doodle or scratch the genloss logo on everything we can put it in. Preferably don’t break any laws, avoid the Mona Lisa and such. And just spread it everywhere so people will begin to question what it means and also just in support of ranboo and the show

There’s a decent amount of us, I bet we could actually do something people start to uneasily notice. If not get them to join us, at least we can scare them a bit with this random symbol popping up places(carved into benches, written on recycled Starbucks cups, scratched into other surfaces)

Spread the trauma. Make them watch it. Give SFM a bigger audience

Gen Loss' shooting location

I'm super into dead/dying malls so I knew what mall it was as soon as I saw the ending of Ep 2, but I didn't wanna post anything about it until after Ranboo had left NY just in case. I'm not about to facilitate any creepy behavior, you know?

So GenLoss was filmed at the now-closed Galleria at White Plains, which -- fun fact! -- is the same mall used for interior mall shots in the movie Eighth Grade (so everyone who enjoys Ranboo/Bo Burnham connections, there's a fun one!). It opened in 1980 and positioned itself as the mall for "normal" people, in contrast to the more upscale Westchester mall nearby. Sadly, that other mall is still alive & kicking, while this one was closed at the end of March 2023. There are apparently redevelopment plans in the works to turn it into mixed-use (retail + residential) space.

I was too curious about what some of the stores used in the shoot used to be, and how much of what I saw in GL was set design and how much was already in place, so I looked up old directories & photos of the mall to see if I could sleuth some of it out. In case anyone else was curious about the set designers' work, or is into retail history, I figured I would share my findings!

The central elevator area of the mall in GenLoss, and how it appeared in 2019. (Screenshot from the 2019 video linked below)

Apologies for the multiple different angles on this one, but this is all the same area, first in GenLoss (right after Ranboo starts walking away from the panel where Hetch is appearing), then from the Fleabitten Adventures 2023 video, then from the Raw & Real Retail video from 2019. (Couldn't resist screenshotting the drone ad on that last one, lol)

In the GenLoss screenshot, at the far right edge of the Sears entryway, you can see a bit of the painting left behind, so my guess is the GL set decorators got rid of that artwork for the shoot.

The screen where Ranboo first speaks to Hetch in ep 3. The empty store behind them was an American Eagle Outfitters at one point, but it was already closed by February 2023. (screeenshot from Fleabitten Adventures 2023 video)

Here's a before & after of this directory panel. (Screenshot from the Fleabitten Adventures 2023 video)

The store full of "props". In the original store photo (Google's only photo of this shop), you can see how the existing shelves were repurposed for GL. Also way at the far end of the store there's a black & white photo of someone with a basketball that was left hanging up.

I had a hard time finding a closer angle of this Victoria's Secret, but in case you were curious, here's one from the Raw & Real Retail video lol.

Where Ranboo almost left but Hetch stopped them: a Kay Jewelers.

The streamers are sitting in the following establishments: My Kitchen, Bourbon Street Cafe, Sarku Japan, Dunkin' Donuts, and of course Charley's. The last empty storefront was a Burger King before it emptied out. (Photo from Foursquare, cropped by me)

The Dental & Foot Care storefront is unchanged except for the seating out in the open area. It was a rounded wooden bench set as of Feb 2023 (screenshot from the Fleabitten Adventures video), but for GL it was the standard metal benches found throughout the mall. Not sure why.

Going far back enough, this was a Radio Shack. Couldn't find ANY photos of this particular location though, so here's the only photo I could find of what it was in the interim: a dress shop called Gloria's. (Photo from Yelp)

This one is my favorite part. :) As of February 2023 (screenshots are from the Fleabitten Adventures video), the "Heart of the Facility" is this weirdly sparse artsy furniture store called Home Splash. But before this, what the shop's facade was designed for, was...

A Charlotte Russe location. Ranboo died in a fucking Charlotte Russe. When I learned this, I could not stop laughing.

I didn't cover everything I learned here, just the stuff I thought was coolest (and that I had images of), so please feel free to flood my ask box with questions about what certain things used to be!

so this is how it happened right

gl!Ranboo in an alternate universe where he escaped and was also an ao3 author: Hey, guys! So sorry it took a year for this update. I was kidnapped by a company (not going to say which one for safety reasons :> ) and escaped two months ago. I had to spend around a month and a half trying to get my life back together (still a work in progress, they erased my memory) and learned that I was working on this fic before they took me.  Anyways I’ve spent the last two weeks binging all the episodes of this show to remember what it was about so you can expect semi regular updates again from now on!

inspired by a tweet

"if gl!ranboo and c!ranboo met, c!ranboo would let the former rest his head on their shoulder, box and all, with patience and kindness [...]. none of it was his fault. people did want to help him. it wasn’t his fault."

((some of y’all might find my twitter via this but just know THAT AINT ME THATS AN ALTER EGO i dont post there i just rt art that i cant find on other sites))
