This week on Don't Make It Weird, we're sipping on gin & juice (thanks Snoop), discussing whether Daniel’s hands are bisexual, and playing a brand new game—Book Title or Bullshit! Dina drops some spicy updates on Ryan Reynolds, and Sean gets tricked into trying melon-flavored regret. We also talk about LitRPGs, self-pub Patreon domination, and how a simple manicure nearly destroyed Dina's finances.

In This Episode:

• Taste test: Snoop Dogg & Dr. Dre’s Gin & Juice cocktails
• Shower Thought: Are all hands bisexual?
• Dina’s TikTok Conspiracy Corner: Ryan Reynolds, Blake Lively, and shady PR spins
• Game Segment: Book Title or Bullshit (you won’t believe what’s real)
• Writing Updates: Harlequin confusion, chaotic murder mysteries, and line edits
• LitRPG breakdown: What it is, how it's making people 6 figures a month on Patreon
• Dina’s $3,000 Manicure: An absolute meltdown at a nail salon
• Cringey Copulation: The praying mantis strikes again

From princess flasks to TikTok conspiracies and stolen rocks, this episode is absolute chaos in the best way.

🎉 What’s inside:

• Drinking games & offhand chaos
• Dina’s theory that Gen Z TikTok is AI-generated
• A Neopets sponsorship pitch
• The wildest “line dancing & blow” story you've never heard
• Daniel & Dina try to become Synchronicity Sages in Mind Readers
• Sean teaches Dina about the legendary meme “ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US”
• And this week’s Cringey Copulation excerpt... is somehow worse than usual

We’re BACK, weirdos! After a short hiatus, the Don’t Make It Weird crew returns with indie comic creators Stephen and Anthony, the brains (and butts) behind the hilarious and heartfelt series We Have Issues.

This week’s episode is stacked with storytelling chaos, off-the-rails games, and more conspiracy than a TikTok rabbit hole. Featuring:

🧼 Danq’s Shower Thoughts – Prepare for unsolicited wisdom, personal revelations, and a deeply uncomfortable energy.
🧠 Dina’s TikTok Conspiracy Corner – Birds, billionaires, and bonkers theories that just might be true.
🎭 DMIW ChatGPT Theater – AI-generated scenes performed live… with the dramatic flair of caffeinated weirdos. This week, it's the Breakup that Destroyed the World.
🖊️ Interview with Stephen & Anthony – We dive into the origin and evolution of We Have Issues, the power of creative friendship, and what it’s like making comics with kids around.
🫣 Cringey Copulation – One of the most awkward “romantic” scenes ever read aloud. You're welcome and we’re sorry (not sorry).

Dina made a grave mistake—she deleted TikTok when the ban lasted a whole 12 hours, and now she can't get it back. Meanwhile, Sean and Daniel get sucked into the Blake Lively vs. Justin Baldoni legal drama, Dina discovers her fear of clowns may not be entirely what she thought, and Daniel once again fails at names—this time, butchering Dina’s book title beyond recognition.

But that’s just the beginning. We also debate whether Lego people are zombie necromancers, break down Ryan Reynolds' alleged script rewrites, and, most importantly, launch a telethon for Dina’s Neopets doubloon fund. Because, priorities.

⚠ Trigger Warning: Our main discussion segment in this episode covers the horrendous allegations against Neil Gaiman, including sensitive topics related to abuse. Please listen with care.

Segments include:
🚿 Shower Thoughts – Would you live in a Lego corpse house?
🎩 TikTok Conspiracy Corner – The real reason Dina lost TikTok forever!
🔥 Hollywood Drama – Blake Lively, Justin Baldoni, and Ryan Reynolds' alleged sabotage
📚 Accountabili-buddies! – Dina is thriving, Daniel is writing, and Sean... opened Adobe Premiere
💻 Dina Learns the Internet – We show Dina the classic animated short Charlie the Unicorn Goes to Candy Mountain
🛑 Main Discussion – Separating the Artist from the Art: Breaking down the Neil Gaiman allegations (TW: abuse discussions)
🦋 Storytime with Dinasaurus – That time moths (moss?!) almost killed Dina’s mom
🎷 Cringey Copulation – Dina reads a spicy exerpt from CONNECT by Julian Gough

Daniel is back—for now! After serving his time in DMIW detention, he’s on a performance improvement plan, and Dina and Sean are keeping a close eye on him. In this chaotic episode, we dive into the real origins of the missionary position, uncover the shocking JFK Big Hat Conspiracy, and play a game where we match ridiculous sounds to ridiculous faces!

Dina makes a confession about Aragon (it's a hot take), Sean might already be dead, and Daniel, as always, is problematic. We also chat about when to DNF books, Dina’s desperate need for Neopet doubloons, and a very cursed voicemail. Plus, ghost... um, fluids?

📢 Segments include:
🚿 Shower Thoughts – Why is it called missionary?
🎩 Conspiracy Corner – The Death Star destruction was an inside job, and the hat industry whacked JFK!?
👻 Storytime with Dinasaurus – The Summer Camp Ghost (featuring questionable ectoplasm)
😂 Face That Sound! – It’s exactly what it sounds like.
📚 Accountabilibuddies – Who actually got writing done? (Hint: Not Sean)
📞 Voicemail Chaos – Stallone, Schwarzenegger, and… white pee?
