Four major drops coming in the next year for Octopunk's 10th Birthday! Including fully remastered re-releases of Livescream and Detroit Evolution, a Blu-Ray release of our short film catalogue, and THE OCTOPUNK: An 8 Leg Docuseries charting a decade of creation and community.
For more deets on this direct from me, there's the VOD of our Octopunk showcase livestream!
Thank you detroit reawakening for bringing us Gavin Reed in THIS SHIRT
Lives were changed. And thank you to whoever on the cast or crew made this decision. My life is well and truly yours
Some more Detroit Reawakening/Evolution icons with a bonus Seven Deadly Synths Seth 😎
can non natives stop acting surprised and performatively jokey "uhh what lol!" about ice going after native americans. theyve been doing this for years and it ramped up last year and i had to hear all the stupid "uhhhh where will u deport them to 😜 silly republicans!" comments as if its not always been about detaining torturing murdering using as slave labor scattering communities through fear and intimidation etc. be an adult and act with maturity please. its not quirky or confusing its directly in line with americas racism and white supremacy to make sure native americans are eradicated
I think it's notable also particularly in the Minneapolis context that of the 6 or so (US) Native people I have heard of being detained in the past few days there, at least half were unhoused. This context is important esp given the recent history (I can't remember the year but starting sometime when I lived there from 2016-2020) of police violently dismantling encampments of Native unhoused people. the Native population in Minneapolis is like 5% but Native people make up almost half the unsheltered homeless population, iirc. the ICE harassment of tribal citizens is not of course limited to unhoused Natives but I think it's important to see the connections of how these developments are connected to previous and ongoing violence against unhoused people
Once upon a time I watched this movie, I watched it over and over. And to this day I still fall asleep watching it, It's My ultimate comfort movie. I used to watch this movie and daydream about finding a love like this, finding someone with that much patience and kindness and understanding, and I honestly was starting to believe it didn't exist, not for me anyway. And then surprisingly and suddenly I found exactly what I was hoping for. (Which in itself is kind of annoying because that's what every good romcom and every well-meaning person with advice will tell you, "it'll happen when you least expect it")
So here I am, continuing to rewatch my favorite movie, and it's completely mind-boggling to me that I found the love that I was looking for. I'm so thankful this movie exists, it gave me so much comfort for such a long time, just to see that amazing and gentle and healthy love exists is such a big deal ❤️
Detroit: Evolution Blu-Ray Edition coming in clutch.
Screenshot from the end of Reawakening. If this ain't Law and Order: Detroit, we don't know what is.
Our discord server frequently has double-feature viewing parties of Detroit: Evolution and Reawakening (Bring Your Own Popcorn, of course), and with @octopunkmedia's release of the Blu-Ray edition on their website https://octopunx.tv, we decided to rewatch our favorite gay bois on the big screen.
To those DBH fans who have somehow NOT seen these wonderful works of cinema, DO IT. DO IT NOW!! Many people in the fandom have expressed how greatly the Chris and Tina in their fan-works has been influenced by the performances of Michael Smallwood and Carla Kim, respectively. And of course Christopher Trindade as Gavin and Maximilian Koger as Nines is a superb example of onscreen chemistry and witty Reed900 banter. (And gayness. Don't forget the gayness.) Jillian Geurts as Ada is a classy femme-fatale, and JJ Schaeffer's Lazzo kills us every single time in that neon boa: "Like robot arms, not gun arms." The entire cast and crew of Detroit: Evolution and Detroit: Reawakening created this labor of love; made by fans, for fans.
Gif by @kotovsyndrome. One of our favorite scenes from D:E.
To those of you who have seen D:E before, the Blu-Ray edition is worth an immediate watch. From the audible hits and whirring servos in the reworked fight scene to the fabulous new music track in the ending credits (THAT FIRST BASS DROP, WHAT), our enjoyment of our favorite lines and scenes was only enhanced by the updates. We still watched the NOIR version of the fight scene as a part of our regular experience (it's SOOOO on point); if you haven't seen the NOIR version we suggest you check that out, too. To conclude. Detroit: Evolution and Detroit: Reawakening are STILL a must-see for any DBH fan, yes "even" in 2025. This fandom ain't dead; it's thriving.
For the first time ever, the polished "Blu-Ray cut" of Detroit Evolution is available to watch online. This was originally edited in late 2

hyperfixating on a piece of media from five years ago with a dead fandom someone save me
Not dead at all lol, just taking up a different corner of the internet than DBH fandom cause we do so many other things now. But the core of Octopunk fandom is definitely still DE fans, and I'm sure they'd love to welcome ya in!
Also its about to be the five year anniversary and if you don't think I got things planned, well 😏😏😏
Most people who follow me on other socials already know where I stand. Mostly on here tho, I just reblog fanart so for the record:
Standing up for the most vulnerable in society is also the most punk thing you can do. And no one who is supporting this current American regime, explicitly or implicitly, should ever know a moment of peace for the rest of their miserable lives.
in a yearning competition but my opponent is nines…
reed900 got my heart in a headlock 😩
Hi! I've been having a deep dive into whatever Lazzo Fratello content there is and I stumbled across the redbubble sticker that you guys have up. Does the transgender lazzo sticker confirm that he is, in fact, transgender? Or was it just a nice thing you wanted up?
JJ and I waffled on it a few times in 2019 because we were unsure whether we wanted to have trans rep with the character, or if we wanted to show that trans people are capable of playing cis characters. Hence, we just left it ambiguous for awhile. Also since Lazzo never had visual or verbal confirmation of it on screen, felt a bit self congratulatory to claim that it was rep outright.
(One thing Lazzo DOES have on screen confirmation of in DE is being diabetic - the bracelet that JJ forgot to take off during shooting.)
But considering Lazzo is canonically, onscreen confirmed to be trans in the upcoming short film, yes! Lazzo is a trans character. Even tho the new film and DE exist in different universes, he is pretty much the same in both (albeit he's about 24 in the new short, while he was 19 in Detroit Evolution.) We also keep that's he's diabetic, to the point of it kinda driving the plot forward. And he does in fact have an android girlfriend :)
"The wall is gone."
I've wanted to recreate this scene from Detroit: Evolution (credit to Octopunk Media) ever since I watched it again a month or so ago. I'm so glad to have finally gotten to it now.
I made two variations of this artwork and couldn't decide which I liked best. So, I figured I'd just post both...
In early 2025, I'm disbanding our Patreon and launching a new community site for Octopunk Media: OCTOPUNX. In addition to hosting our cinematic catalog - including Livescreamers and eventually, Lazzo - we also want to give y'all new stuff every single month. Like entire seasons of our improv show Ships and Giggles and our TTRPG show Breakout Rolls!
We need about 15k to cover our entire first year of production and content, so we've got an IndieGogo launching this Saturday. Come join me and JJ as we host a Twitch stream to celebrate the launch!
The stream is packed with fun events like, live tarot reads for the chat, a nail art interview with a SURPRISE GUEST, and TTRPG actual play of Nowhere Kingdom that involves the audience! And of course there are milestones - like if we get to 10K, I'll give Detroit Reawakening the same noir overhaul I gave Detroit Evolution.
See you Saturday on the Octopunk Media Twitch!
Livescreamers is officially out worldwide!
Do you like video games? Righteously angry queers? Twitch streams? And uh, maybe a lot of blood?
Four years ago, we made a big gay fan film called Detroit Evolution. And after a truly bonkers amount of labor in Unreal Engine 5, a year of festival buzz, and an 89% on Rotten Tomatoes, our newest feature film Livescreamers can finally be yours and watched at home! Check out the trailer if you'd like and consider adding it to your Halloween watch list this October!
