I just noticed that your YouTube channel has been marked as Made for Kids. Since IDWTBAMG is targeted towards teens (you mentioned in the FAQ iirc), was this your intention?
uhhh i went to check and this is what it looks like on my end. shouldn't be made for kids. i always mark my individual videos as such. i think i only have one video that was marked a long time ago but it was bc of yt automation and i couldn't get it appealed (probably bc it had dinosaur king audio lmao)
we came so close to Stolas finding out his man can't read I'm screaming
oh Stolas is 100% coming up with a plan to sneakily teach Blitz the alphabet after this video. it will probably involve sexual roleplay. Blitz will come out of this a new man
“Cough CPR” is a myth which claims that rhythmic coughing can reduce the impact of a heart attack. It has been circulating for over two decades via email and on social media platforms (Wikipedia, 2023).
Why doesn’t it work?
A heart attack happens when the blood flow to the heart is restricted due to blockage. Cardiac arrest is when your heart stops pumping completely (British Heart Foundation, n.d.).
These definitions alone should demonstrate the problem with “cough CPR”. If you have a heart attack, your heart is still pumping, so you do not need CPR. If you experience cardiac arrest, you will fall unconscious within seconds (Resuscitation Council UK, 2021) and therefore won’t be able to perform “cough CPR”.
In many cases, “cough CPR” could even worsen the problem or prove fatal if coughing is undertaken to the wrong rhythm (Snopes, 2003).
Is “cough CPR” ever useful?
Coughing creates pressure that forces blood to flow to the brain (Cleveland Clinic, 2020).
It may therefore be possible for someone experiencing sudden arrhythmia to maintain consciousness for a few seconds by coughing. However, the patient would already need to be under constant monitoring for the arrhythmia to be detected. It should also only be done at the instruction of a doctor, as a medical professional will still be needed to treat the abnormal heart rhythm (American Heart Association, 2023).
Cases where “cough CPR” has been useful have all been isolated incidents performed in this kind of clinical setting (see Snopes, 2003; UChicago Medicine, 2019; American Heart Association, 2023).

Hi! A quick note - the post you reblogged about coughing helping you to survive a heart attack (often called “cough CPR”) isn’t true. Very easy mistake to make. There’s more info in my pinned post. Hope it clears things up, and have a lovely day! <3
I'm so curious about why Millie was so nervous in this scene with Loona and Stolas and not with the equipment scene? Maybe she's just more comfortable using the weapons. Or the outfit could be too tight on her because she's pregnant 🫣🤫
She could just be nervous, and I'm just overthinking this, but it's fun to think. 😄
Idk if I said this before but the difference between Blitz's and Stolas's reading and writing comprehension skills is actually SO FUCKING FUNNY. Cause I think back on all the texts they would send to each other where Blitz's were short af and Stolas was writing novella ass texts to him with perfect grammar.
And while I'm sure there was the element of angst to it, I find it so funny to imagine that Stolas was just sending these multi paragraph texts to Blitz and Blitz's dyslexic ass could just look at them like "What in the fucking fuck is this Stolas" and just thumbs up.
me: wow i think Millie and Stolas would have such a good friendship, i know everyone wants to see Moxxie and Stolas together but i hope they get some direct interaction in s3 too
literally the shorts before s3 has even come out: here’s Stolas giving Millie bedroom eyes and flirting on camera
