(Should specify I’m not shocked they talk like this, it’s just infuriating to see it so brazen and all in one place)

Just when I thought I couldn’t be more horrified. We should never stop talking about this.

If - IF - there are any decent Republicans still out there, consider leaving your disgusting party because I don’t know how you fix root-rot like this.

Breaking: Text messages of Young Republican groups across the country have just been leaked.

They talk about putting Democrats in “gas chambers,” attacking “Jews,” calling Black people “watermelon people,” calling to “rape” their enemies, and bringing back slavery.

Lastly, it's set in the Simpson's living room bc I'm a die-hard fan and made everyone put up with my endless references. For example, I thought it was important that we establish what Duardo looked like without his trademark glasses and this is what I made:

Artemis is knocking down Xenia's picture bc of how confident the internet was that the new Legend would be Vantage's mom. I have no idea what the future holds for the characters but I can say that Sparrow was never Xenia. It was like the fans made their own Forge and it was wild to watch.

The card is bc I started the joke that Kill Code 4 took place on Octane's bday. He kept getting jerked around by his friends, disrespected by his (grand)dad, and then watched him get murdered. When we were working on that video I kept pitching that Octane screams, "THIS IS THE WORST BIRTHDAY EVER."

Revenant's eye is on the table bc I wrote Kill Code Part 2, the "Revenant Reborn" video seen through his loose eyeball. When I handed in a draft that flipped between different Rev POV's in different places, I was sure I would be told to change it and simplify. They let me be crazy and I love them.

I’m the lady on the couch! Obviously Sparrow is my bb, but even though I wrote for all the Legends, I wrote a ton of Mirage and Pathfinder. What can I say, I love funny boys.

My wonderful former Narrative team at Apex Legends had this commissioned for me by the incredible @vinegarandsoda.bsky.social , one of my favorite comic artist's we've worked with. My heart is exploding. 🧵Here's an explanation of what's in the pic: 🧵

They’re just the covers (but I’m likely going to buy that addition anyway 😅)

Heather Woodward @heatherwoodward.bsky.social · 7d

It’s about time we as much money as it takes to put a person on the moon into games. MORE MONEY! MORE AAAAAAAAS!

Heather Woodward @heatherwoodward.bsky.social · 7d

I liked it a lot! It’s super fun, super smart and everyone is very good in it. It was maybe a touch overhyped for me, I’m not quite as bananas over it as some people but definitely recommend it.
