One of these days, I expect Ryan to be in the middle of streaming, and there’s some sort of noise in the background in his house that gets his attention, and he’s like “Uh-oh. Be back in a second, gotta go check on the kids.”
And then like 3 seconds after he walks off camera, we can hear the faint ‘tep tep tep’ of kiddie feets against the carpet, and then his daughter pops up on camera and pulls herself up into his chair and sits and looks towards the computer with a big smile and then she looks upwards towards the ceiling and gives a thumbs up and nods
and Ryan’s son decends from the ceiling via spy tether and plops down next to his sister on the chair and is like “Now Daddy’s games are ours!” and he hands his sister a controller and they both attempt to play, only for Ryan to come in like 5 seconds later and be like “guys did you seriously distract me to play my game guys no” unaware his children are devious little masterminds
Jeremy Dooley Q&A Tomorrow
Here is a gentle reminder that we will be chatting with Lil J tomorrow.
That is,
April 17th, 2016 at 2PM CDT (That’s Rooster Teeth Time zone)
The chat will be happening within our Tinychat, starting at or around as close as we can at the time above.
However
The first portion will be closed and passworded so we can ask Jeremy questions from this document here without interruption. If you want your question(s) asked and answered, please go on this document and type it in. I will be trying to get through as many of them as I can.
There is a way for you to get in this pre-public chat if you so desire. I am holding a GoFundMe in hopes of getting my friends and fellow Admins to my wedding in 80 days, so we’re hosting this in hopes to raise funds; this chat is a good time to exercise a few of our rewards. So check it out!
Once we either run through all the questions or we hit an hour or so, I will take the password off the chat and everyone will be free to come in. This said, please follow our rules so we can keep this neat and orderly. There will be a handful of moderators and admins that will not hesitate to ban you if you do not follow these rules.
And yes. This chat will be recorded. We have recorded every other chat/Q&A we have held, all of which you can see here. Feel free to have a look in your free time.
TL;DR
Jeremy Dooley will be in our tinychat tomorrow, April 17 at 2pm CDT answering your questions.
Imagine three brothers whose father just died. Nobody really liked him but he owned a lot of businesses all over town, which he split the ownership of between his three sons.
The first son gets the CEO position of a powerful corporation, including his own private jet
The second son gets the father’s shipping company and his yacht
The last son gets ownership of a small funeral home that isn’t doing very well
The first son becomes a total jerk who sleeps around and cheats on his wife constantly.
The second son adopts the culture of the sailors at the docks and develops an aggressive personality
The third son’s company is more of a reliability than an asset, but through hard work he makes it work. He’s not very comforting to the grieving costumers, but his prices are fair and he treats them with respect. He marries a wife who helps him run the funeral home. The place is a success, despite its dreariness.
This is literally Greek Mythology.

Rest stops on highways are liminal spaces where the veil is thin and nobody can tell me differently
Explain
The explanation is that liminal spaces are in between places that bridge Here with There, so in fairy tales we often have the Fairy Ring, the Forest Clearing, the Sudden Misty Foggy Forest, the Bridge, the River, graveyards, in some cases
We also have a ton of american urban mythology around famous roadways and sites off the sides of roads
Archetypes like these occur to mark the places in the world where the veil goes thin and humans can have extra-worldly experiences, out of the ordinary way of living
So why wouldn’t transient spaces like rest stops where everyone is just passing through from one place to the next, never stopping for too long, not be a liminal space where spirits frequent, too
Especially since nobody would know if they were real or not
Ok but this speaks to me
I always feel like something isn’t quite right at rest stops
I once slept though three gas stations on a road trip, and the second the car started to slow to turn into a rest stop, I was basically wide awake.
My mom and I were on I-90 in a blizzard once and pulled off at the first exit we could find. Turns out that if we’d gone even a mile further, we would have happened on a 49-and-counting car pileup, and that 90 was closed for MILES. How we found an unblocked ramp was a matter of great debate, but where this gets weirder still is that at the bottom of the ramp was a closed truck stop and an open church full of teenagers–they went for youth group, the blizzard started, and they were stuck until the snow stopped. They fed us leftovers from their potluck dinner, prayed with us for safe travel, and when the snow let up they saw us on our way.
Three days later–Sunday–we were traveling back and decided to stop at that church to thank them. We found it thanks to the truck stop, but this time it was the truck stop that was open and the church that was closed. Neither of us remembered it looking so decrepit on the trip down, and granted we saw it first at night in a snowstorm, but you’d think we’d have noticed the boarded-up windows. So we asked in at the truck stop.
The church had been abandoned for ten years. And yet I still had one of their youth group programs under my sun visor, very clearly labeled for the previous week.
To this day I’m sure we crossed dimensions somewhere on I-90, and that’s how we stayed safe. You could tell me it’s because the truck stop was a liminal space and I’d 100% believe you.

Every single one.
