hi hey hello did you invent the tag #sfthposting? and if not do you know who did? and is it really supposed to be a pun on "shitposting" or am i just overthinking stuff way too much?
Hi there :D
I didn’t invent it! I saw someone use it (maybe a couple of people?)
I actually have no clue who first used it cause it was so long ago, sorry- but if the person who made it sees this (and remembers lol) feel free to of course take credit :)
(I also assumed that was the pun, so it very well could be!)
okay can someone explain to me the chip harrington thing? i got patreon lately, havent watched many livesreams yet, and honestly i dont understand😅
when did all the chip harrington thing start? cause i thought it was just in livestreams from home but i just watched an edit where there was onstage chip harrington so i am confused
sorry for posting patreon content, i try to do that as little as possible, but i just have to know
Hi emu just wanted to ask a question about sfth as you are like super knowledgeable about them.
Has luke ever stated why he knows a lot about History? Is it just because he enjoys it?
Anyway hope you have a good day! Stay safe!
Hello!!
Based on what I’ve seen, Luke is a bit of a history nerd! He’s also said before that he likes to read nonfiction books for enjoyment :) which I imagine would contribute to that
He often corrects the other boys on historical things (like they point out in this comment under the leftenmost window)
He doesn’t have a degree or anything in history, but knows a decent amount and is very smart :)
They’re called shoot from the hip (sfth) and are @shootimpro on youtube, tiktok, instagram, facebook, x/twitter, Bluesky, as well as on linktree, patreon and ko-fi.
(Hi just a note that I’ve updated this post a bit :))
They’re London based but have done shows outside london like in Scotland (Edinburgh Fringe) and even to Spain. They want to hopefully go to other countries in the future too!!
From left to right they’re Sam, Tom, AJ and Luke :)))
Ok, so. They do improvised comedy and their shows have two halves (generally with a break in the middle) they play lots of short drama games in the first half and then improvise 20-30 minute (on average) plays in the second half, sometimes with another game at the end.
The plays are so much fun (they’ve got 43 of them up on youtube so far!! (< updated January 2025)) and they’ve also released three full specials (full shows) which you can find on their channel :)
For a few of the older ones (apart from the first one) they were filming on an iphone and just projecting their voices, so the the audio and image quality can be hard to deal with (but all their videos are subtitled by the AMAZING volunteer subtitlers!!!) the older videos are well worth watching, though!!!
They have SO MUCH CONTENT because during covid they did zoom-style improv shows with eachother and you can watch those as a patreon. (To find out what else you get with patreon go to my pinned post :))
They also have SO MANY VIDEOS that are just the regular public ones!!!! They upload short ones of the games and some 5-10min ones of the games too, as well as the long forms (plays)
Now some info about the guys :D

THANK YOU SO MUCH ANON THIS ASK MEANS SO MUCH TO ME :DDDDD
I know this is kind of a long shot but do yoi know if SFTH has had any aro or ace charachters?
If not, do you have any head canons?
Hello! There’s two canon ace characters :D (Both on patreon.) So far no canon aro characters, but there are a few headcanons!
The first ace character is a Luke character from the live from home streams during lockdown. It’s during a game of Typewriter Terrence in #27 (6th July 2020) which starts at 1:00:50 :)
The second one is a Sam character from the 9th February 2025 live from stage show, during the longform (Crotchet Wars)
Here’s some aro and ace headcanons I’ve heard:
Janae (neighbours) - popular aroace headcanons (also a fair few nonbinary, specifically agender headcanons)
Sherlock - I’ve heard some greyaroace headcanons :)
Abigail (neighbours) - some aro/ace headcanons for her too
(Other people of course feel free to add on your headcanons or others you’ve heard!)
(this may sound random but) ive seen pics of the boys in pink cowboy hats but cant seem to find the vid anywhere! :( it looks like the show with OMGITAJ but thats it??
p.s. love your blog a lot!!
Hello!! That’s this video here :)
It’s one of the earlier videos on their channel which so that probably makes it harder to find (also don’t worry- randomness is welcome here lol)
