Bela here. We fact check some of the (many) ridiculous things said by Lily
Orchard, aka CD-Call.
Regarding asks; we don't speculate without evidence, and we don't answer leading questions.
Lily's throwing a hissy fit over one of your posts.
Really now? And by name, you say? My goodness. What a wonderful gift to wake up to.
To anybody, particularly any questioning Lily/CD fans, who stumbled on this blog thanks to her shout-out, welcome! Our little corner of tumblr is here to provide the honest critique and dry fact-checking that Lily's output is sorely lacking. We don't cover the more serious stuff; for that, I strongly recommend you check out:
Bumbled-Bees, run by one of Lily's former fans, and who does a great job deconstructing Lily's methods of abusing and controlling her audience.
Confused-Rat, who has done an exceptional job cataloguing the many times Lily has lied about her own past.
As for us, we're happy to provide running commentary on Lily's god-awful D&D opinions as long as Lily keeps making them. It's not like there's a scarcity of things to talk about, either; we have some thoughts on Lily's ideas for character creation, after all. (3d6 per stat in a system where a score of 8 or lower permanently cripples your character? Really, Lily, it's like you don't want anyone to play your game)
In Lily's recent video on Ghibli films, she refers to My Neighbours the Yamadas as a Dom Com, a subtype of Situational Comedy (ie Sitcom) based around family or household life. While not as common a term as Sitcom, Dom Com is nonetheless a perfectly reasonable and established name for a common setup in film and TV.
It is not a BDSM term, aside from being used as the title of an unrelated romance novel, published in January of this year.
So if you were to, say, stream yourself reacting to Lily's Ghibli video in order to guffaw at it, perhaps you shouldn't rely on Google AI to tell you the meaning of words you don't understand.
I'm pretty sure the EarthBound hack made by Toby Fox was more influential and controversial than the Imoen incest mod.
Influential? Definitely. Controversial? I'm not sure, unless there's controversy that I'm not privy to.
This is why I mentioned GTA:SA's Hot Coffee mod in the tags. Lily, get back to me when Hillary Clinton comments on the Imoen mod.
Disclaimer; this is the sort of shit I normally don't want to comment on, and I'm only doing so because the alternative is to let claims like Lily's go unchallenged.
First things first; the above are self-asks. The someone who said "Hbomberguy is a piece of shit" on Bluesky? That was Lily herself.
Now as to what actually happened:
Somewhere around the 14th of May, 2026 (exact time unknown), Harry (HBomberguy) posted the following skeet to Bluesky. Very shortly thereafter, he chose to delete it. We're talking like 10 minutes.
Harry has made no other public statements in the last month. This is it.
Unfortunately that was enough time for a few people to see it, and for at least one person to screenshot it (although that person decided not to share it publicly, at the time). More importantly, it was enough time for people to figure out what the skeet was referring to; this recent skeet by Harry's former collaborator, Patricia Taxxon.
The above skeets are being provided purely as evidence. I'm not here to comment on what Patty says. This ain't the Patty Pit.
The above would have sat dormant and unnoticed were it not for commentors on Bluesky, and eventually, Reddit. It is only because of a thread made on r/youtubedrama that we have access to HBomberguy's post.
Quickly breaking down the original (and only) contribution by Harry;
- It can be reasonably inferred to be about Patricia. Despite not naming or referring to her directly, it does contain an almost direct quote from her.
- However, it does contain an almost-direct quote. This quote has not been unreasonably truncated, and it has not been taken out of context. Third parties were able to tell that the skeet was about Patty, because Patty unambiguously said those things.
- The meaning of the skeet is easy to determine; independent of any accusations or insinuations, Harry is frustrated at the actions of a former friend. Personally, I can understand why, as a human being, Harry wanted to post this. I can also understand his regret at posting it, as a public figure. It's not a good look, but it's a human mistake.
It's also not unprovoked.
Oops this is now a teensy bit The Patty Pit, sorry folks
Patricia is also a public figure, with 120k subscribers on Youtube (almost as many as Lily Orchard) and 6k Bluesky followers. While her reach is nowhere near that of Harry's, It ain't nothing. Easily identifiable vagueposts like this do not go unnoticed, and the people they target often have to deal with all sorts of fun consequences behind the scenes. In this context, Hbomb's response isn't justified, but it's pretty damn understandable.
It's also not a new development; Patty's been throwing shade at Harry since at least 2024. Meanwhile, despite quietly deciding not to collaborate with Patty further due to well-documented behaviour, Harry has said nothing. Well, until last thursday, that is.
Either way, the cat's very much out of the bag now. It continues to be out of the bag, in part, due to Patty's constant relitigation of the matter; she's gone from acting like Harry's skeet doesn't faze her to (falsely) accusing Harry of calling her a pedophile to demanding that Harry "not let this go unchecked" in the space of a few days, and with her track record, she's not going to let this go anytime soon.
So anyway, was Harry's skeet a bad idea? Demonstrably yes. Was it an example of him "pedojacketing trans women"? Absolutely fucking not. Stop trying to stir up drama with self-asks, stop doing so without receipts, and stop lying, Lily.
Can you give us a guideline on how to tell real asks from self asks?
Truthfully? I really can’t, because it will never be guaranteed.
You can have all the likely indicators (reused terminology or lexicon, unprompted questions to open discussion for things to rant about) and still be wrong. You can be skeptical, cast doubt on the legitimacy of the 25th anon to ask for advice about IRL incest, but you will never know beyond a shadow of a doubt if it was just Lily making up shit to send herself or not.
It sucks, because we have evidence of her actually doing this with fake accounts, but with anons it’s just impossible to tell which is which.
From the Advanced Dungeons and Dragons 2nd edition revised Dungeon Master's Guide, published 1995:
Lily continues to confirm she has never actually played D&D in her life.
under the cut: the more in-depth rules on infravision, and a brief analysis from yours truly
Also from the same DMG (the Internet Archive is a wonderful place):
So yes, there is technically a more "accurate" version of Infravision available to players. A version which tells you multiple times "hey, don't use this. You're going to have a bad time if you do." I actually kind of love that? 2nd edition is wild, man.
Anyways, Lily clearly wasn't thinking of these rules when she was talking about infravision. Remember, her most salient critique of 5th edition is that it does nothing to reduce the cognitive load on the Dungeon Master. Now I invite you to consider that criticism against a rule set that requires the Dungeon Master to consider the relative heat signatures of different types of stone.
But of course, the best (and worst) aspect of this version of infravision is how blatantly easy it is for any crafty player to abuse. "Large heat sources will temporarily blind characters with infravision just as looking at a bright light blinds those with normal vision"? Congratulations, you've just made Fireball (already an overpowered spell) into something that will blind every demihuman in an 80-foot radius.
... huh, maybe that's how 2nd edition humans are balanced.
No, Courtney Peet did not steal Lily Orchard's favorite hoodie
Long-time viewers of the blog will be shocked to learn that Lily is lying about something.
"Courtney stole my hoodie when she ran away" is one of the newer additions to Lily's self-lore, first appearing last November. It's intended to strengthen the claim that teenage Courtney was obsessed with Lily, rather than the other way round. And of course, like most of Lily's claims, it should be impossible to verify, right?
Unfortunately, I am a nosy bitch.
First off, we need to accept one thing as fact: Courtney Peet ran away from home while she was still 17 years old. It's one of the few things that both they and Lily agree on. While I don't know the exact date of her departure, I do know that Courtney turned 18 years old on the 24th of November, 2011. Therefore, they had to have run away from the Peet household before that date.
Despite Lily's best efforts to strike her early material off the face of the internet, some of her old videos remain available on archive sites. Original airdates aren't attached, unfortunately, but we don't need those.
The following stills are taken from the live-action introduction to Lily's RVI videos. I've censored Lily's face (since these images depict her pre-transition self), but that's not the important part. The important part is the hoodie.
Just kidding, the real important part is the shirt underneath.
This is a Heart Pony, one of several memetic designs from the early days of the Friendship Is Magic fandom. Specifically, this is Twilight Sparkle's Heart Pony design, first uploaded to DeviantArt by BambooDog, the meme's original creator, in October 2011.
Two months later, on December 21st, BambooDog opened their Redbubble store, where Lily's shirt would become available for the first time.
"With the help of RedBubble.com, you can find some Main Cast Contours and Hearts t-shirts."
I think you can see where I'm going with this, but to spell it out;
Courtney could not have stolen Lily's RVI hoodie when she ran away, because Lily filmed herself wearing said hoodie well after Courtney was out of the house.
Hardly the most heinous of shit Lily has done, I know, but still,
A whole dungeon probably takes more than one dice roll to get through. so that anon is kinda dumb and so is Lily
That is also a good point - a die roll, in the abstract, represents a single task or a portion of a task, and even the most basic dungeons should involve a handful of tasks.
Someone asked me about this post a little while back:
and... yeah. It's pretty stupid. Let's break it down:
"A single 20 can trivialize an entire dungeon"
unlike other roleplaying systems, D&D's skill checks are a binary success/failure paradigm. Some DMs will introduce a sliding DC to a check (eg "succeed by more than 5 and you'll get a neat little bonus" or whatnot) but the core metric is "if you roll high, you succeed, if you roll low, you fail".
so if something can be trivialized by "a single 20", then it can be trivialized by any successful roll.
"Stop letting players cheat"
My Dungeon Master in christ, if you allow them to roll, then they're not cheating. They're playing the game.
And finally,
"Skill checks don't have Criticals, that's never been the rules in any edition of D&D"
3.5 Edition, Dungeon Master's Guide, page 34:
What now, dingus?
In all seriousness, if you're worried about players rolling for absurdities in game, the solution is as follows; before any rolling occurs, have the player describe exactly what it is the are trying to do. Then, also before the rolling occurs, give a brief summary of what will happen if they succeed, and what will happen if they fail.
As an example:
Player: "I sneakily scale the castle wall"
DM: "Okay, you have proficiency in stealth and athletics, so I'll only get you to roll one of them. Your DC is 15 - pass, and you can find a way over the wall without the guards noticing. Get between 10 and 15, you won't make it over, but you can at least stay unnoticed. Get below 10, your attempt will make enough noise to alert the guards.
Player: "Hrm, I only have a +7 to those scores, hopefully this will- NATURAL 20!"
DM: "Hell yes! You practically run up the wall, finishing your ascent with an acrobatic pirouette off of the watchtower's peak. If anyone was watching, they'd be astonished."
Player: "Was anybody watching?"
DM: "Well... no. You were trying to be stealthy, after all."
Player: "GOD-"
And I've mentioned this before, but a task you can succeed at with one roll is fine. You really have to watch out for tasks that can be failed forever with a single roll. If a player is stuck inside a jail cell with a single lockpick, and they end up breaking that lockpick in their attempt to pick the door, then you have to give them another means of escape, unless you want to hit them with the "you don't get to play the game now" beam.
How can Lily be trans and transphobic and the same time?
The same way a woman can be a misogynist, or a black man a racist, or an autistic person an ableist. You stop caring about other people and relish whatever makes your words hurt more. If it works against you, why can’t it work against them?
So let me share with you a little secret from my time in Lily's server.
We celebrated infighting in the crit community. Any time a beef became public or a relationship fractured and it got back to us, we celebrated. Circles of nonstop "Well at least WE all like each other!"
And why wouldn't we? If Lily's critics were fighting amongst themselves, it took the heat off her.
Every public spat is a gift to her. She doesn’t need to defend herself when the people holding her accountable are busy settling personal scores in the main tags. She just has to sit back, pop the champagne, and point at the fire as proof that we are the "unhinged stalkers" she claims we are.
This is why I refuse to engage in secondary drama. The moment the discourse becomes about us instead of her actions, the archive loses its power and the victims lose their voice.
