So we all know about the Dandys World controversy, right?
For those who don’t know, I’m going to explain this in the simplest way possible. I will be summarizing.
Now, I do not remember everything from the drama, and since I don’t have Discord or Twitter, I can’t exactly figure out what’s going on.
From what I remember:
Qwel was friends with Rox for a while
Others were telling Qwel that Rox was drawing CSAM—if you don’t know what that is just look it up.
Qwel didn’t believe them, and continued to be friends with Rox. Once it was actually confirmed that Rox had done those things, Qwel basically kicked him off the dev team or whatever it’s called, but unfortunately continued to be friends with him afterwards.
There was also one time where Qwel recorded a minor to VILLAINIZE them with her friends. That minor was talking about being groomed.
Qwel was also caught playing Overwatch instead of responding.
Recently, there was a post on Twitter from a victim named Joji. This is the post:
There are also questions from a couple people, which Joji answered:
Joji then says on a different post:
Joji isn’t the only victim speaking about this, either. This is a post from another victim:
The fact that there are people out there who still support Qwel by playing the game absolutely disgusts me. It’s different if it’s children who don’t understand or know about the controversy, but if you know and understand everything that’s going on, yet continue to play the game simply because you don’t care or don’t believe the controversy is true, I hate to say it, but you are horrible. Why? Because if you STILL support Qwel after everything that has happened, you are actively going AGAINST the victims that have spoken out about their experiences.
Still. I will not be playing Dandys World anymore, and I will be leaving the BlushCrunch community on Roblox.
*edit: Qwel apparently made a response recently. I don’t know what the response said, but according to everyone on TikTok talking about it, it was a very half-assed apology (I’m not surprised).
The Correct Episode Order for
Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Have you noticed that every streaming service has Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles episodes listed in a different order?
For instance, Netflix has Flushed, But Never Forgotten/Lair Games listed BEFORE Many Unhappy Returns, which chronologically doesn't make sense...
Well, that's because the show originally aired in the wrong order...
How do we know the correct order?
Easy. Production Codes.
Nickelodeon now has the best episode order when viewing the episodes as-is (in their dual part form)
(I've listed them below JIC the page is not accessible in your country)
(Added image descriptions for anyone that needs them)
AN IMPORTANT UPDATE:
Since Nick aired most of the episodes as 30 minute blocks comprised of TWO SEPERATE episodes, the above list from Nickelodeon is still not the most ideal order list for those separate episodes...
Thus, the only way to get the most accurate order for each half-episode is to split the 30 minute blocks in half and then rearrange the sections according to their half-episode production codes...
Which is exactly what I did!!! 💜😁

This took ages to work on and a ton of research to complete, so please share!!!!
I just realized that there is a very big possibility I’m autistic.
The main reason I just found out about happened when I was little (there are other reasons but I don’t wanna talk about them rn)
So, I was OBSESSED with the book Wonder by R. J. Palacio when I was…7 or 8 I think.
According to my pawpaw, I read that book so much at the time, that he could flip to any page in the book, show me a single LINE on that page, ask me what happened on that specific page, and I’d be able to tell him.
Now, I don’t remember this happening. I do remember how much I loved that book when I was little, though. It was one of the first novels I had ever read that were longer than, like, the Magic Treehouse series.
But yeah. I just realized that Wonder was probably one of my first hyperfixations.
So I have to read a nonfiction book of my choosing during summer break and create a 3-5 minute overall presentation about the book. I have to present the presentation on the first few days of school.
I chose Flowers in the Gutter by K.R. Gaddy.
Now, I thought this book would have between 15 and 20 chapters, since it’s about as thick as the first Harry Potter book, which has 17 chapters.
Yknow how many chapters are in it?
SEVEN.
I could finish this book in a WEEK, AND get up to half or more of my novel presentation done by July 15th (that’s the day I have to return the book to the library).
I WAS gonna start reading it today, but now that I know it’ll only take me a week to read the entire book, I’m just gonna start it tomorrow and read one chapter per day.
Will probably show off my presentation when it’s done. Maybe.
genuine writers getting wrongly accused of using ai because of witch hunt and proper grammar/structure in their works must be what being a woman in the 1600s who is wrongly accused of being a witch because she can read and is intelligent feels like
Niger has just become the first country to criminalise asexuality ‼️‼️‼️*
Typically asexuals don’t have protection to begin with (we are recognised partially in two countries as of 2025, may have updated since then but doubt it) so we aren’t included.
This is the first case of “asexual acts” being criminalised.
It’s illegal not to have sex?
Is it illegal not to have sex for religious reasons now? Such as a nun or priest?
Not only that; but the laws (if there are any) around consent have just been demolished. A man could now accuse a woman who won’t sleep with him of “asexual acts”, resulting in prison time. They might have a strict “not before marriage” faith/law, but don’t tell me someone won’t do this.
*along with almost every other identity. Which is also important, this is an aro/ace blog tho so we will focus on that.
The entire law punishes "committing or attempting to commit an immodest or unnatural act or practicing LGBTQIA+ acts".
The wording creates such logical absurdity when applied to asexuality because, what constitutes an "asexual act"? If asexuality is characterised by an absence of sexual attraction and activity, then the concept of "practicing asexuality" as a criminal act becomes incoherent. The only "act" associated with asexuality is often the lack of sexual engagement.
Criminalising non-action?? A literal interpretation of the law could imply that simply not having sex or not experiencing sexual attraction is a criminal offense. (And THERE ARE LAWYERS AND GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS WHO INTERPRET THE LAW QUITE LITERALLY, the theory is where people interpret legislation literally and is known as Textualism in the United States)
How will the law affect religious practices like celibacy? (Celibacy is the state of voluntarily being unmarried, sexually abstinent, or both, usually for religious reasons.) Well, Niger is approximately 99% Muslim, with a small Christian minority (around 0.3% to 0.5%), and the Catholic Church has a presence in Niger, with dioceses in Niamey and Maradi. Priests and religious sisters are highly visible symbols of celibacy. While the law's intent is to target LGBTQIA+ individuals, its letter provides a tool for those who might wish to harass or persecute religious minorities by labeling their celibacy as a "prohibited practice."
They've left their MAIN religion open to persecution. And it'd be LEGAL.
They also didn't define asexuality in the act, which means, legally, any interpretation of asexuality could be argued in a court there, and WIN (should it be argued well enough that is). That's why acts have definitions or "this word or act is defined as..." at the start of them.
This is disgusting. Why do people care so much whether people do the bedsheet tango or not??
Like, it’s none of your business! If you wanna do the bedsheet tango, go for it! But there’s absolutely NO REASON to expect other people to do it! If someone doesn’t want to do it, then that’s FINE.
LEAVE ASEXUAL PEOPLE ALONE!! THEY AREN’T DOING ANYTHING WRONG FOR NOT EXPERIENCING SEXUAL ATTRACTION!!
I headcanon that the circus Caine built was just a physical manifestation of his trauma.
Like, think about it.
Caine was trapped in that prison thing by his creators, broke out, and created a circus that was ALSO a trap.
I feel like Caine felt powerless and scared while being trapped in that prison, and therefore projected those feelings ONTO THE CIRCUS! MAKING THE CIRCUS ANOTHER TRAP!!
In the circus, there’s no exit. None of the cast members can actually escape.
There’s also false freedom (as seen in Episode 7). The cast thought they could finally leave, only to STILL be trapped in the circus!
Although, I do feel like he unintentionally projected his feelings onto the circus while making it. We know after watching Episode 8 (when Caine got deleted) that Caine didn’t actually WANT to harm or scare the cast (it’s confirmed by Caine’s VA, I think, that Caine’s “..wait..” was him realizing he went too far).
The one thing mentioned in this post that I feel like he did INTENTIONALLY was when he gave them false freedom in episode 7. He most likely knew they actually wanted to leave. Instead of letting them, he made them think they were able to leave, only for them to find out it was all another adventure.
I do understand where Caine’s coming from, though.
Like, he didn’t want to be alone! He wanted someone to be near! I’d hate to be alone forever..
Caine has always been and WILL always be one of my favorite characters ever.
I feel like if Uzi, Thad, and Doll ever hung out with each other, they might actually enjoy each others’ company.
They’d be kinda like this, except Thad would be slightly calmer than Uzi (Doll would just keep Thad on the child-leash anyway because I feel like Thad would be dumb enough to walk into incoming traffic without looking both ways first):
Lizzy would probably hang with them as well..maybe..idk, BUT if she did, she’d be next to Doll like:
She’d at least be like this the first couple hangouts, then after being used to Uzi and Thad’s antics, she’d just ignore them and stare at her phone lol
I also feel like if Lizzy did hang out with them, she’d probably say no at first, but then get convinced by someone else (most likely Thad) to start hanging out with them.
So I went to the mall with my parents & sister a few hours ago, and someone told me they liked my Uzi keychain that was on my bag.
I have NEVER been complimented by a complete stranger about fandom merch from a fandom I have a slightly unhealthy obsession with. COMPLETELY made my day!! :]
Something I’ve noticed online is the debate on whether or not self diagnosis for neurodivergent stuff is valid. Here’s my take on that:
I personally believe that self diagnosis is only valid if you’ve done extensive research on the topic. If you’ve just taken online quizzes (doesn’t matter how many you’ve taken), then you should probably still do research on the topic before saying you are that thing.
Why? Because online quizzes aren’t going to share every neurodivergent persons’ experiences with those neurodivergent conditions. Doing research and watching videos from people who are diagnosed with those things will help you figure out if you are that or not. That is why I have a TikTok playlist and Pinterest board full of traits many autistic people share (I share about 80% of the traits found in the playlist, and I don’t remember how many traits I share in the board..probably about 90% since the board isn’t that big)
For example, I think I’m autistic. I’ve done quite a bit of research, (and I know I share many traits with other autistic people, especially now; but I’ve also noticed memories where I experience things other autistic people have experienced without realizing what it was)* but not enough for me to say for sure. Despite all that, I still choose to not self diagnose myself, as there is still the chance I might somehow be wrong. (I have no hate towards people who self diagnose after heavily researching, tho)
*btw the crossed out text says: and I know I share many traits with other autistic people, especially now; but I’ve also noticed memories where I experience things other autistic people have experienced without realizing what it was
