The Gob Network

The **Gob Network** is a television network owned and operated by Gobcord. The network, conveyed only through Discord text channels, was created as an addition of the "inspiration" community category on 13 June 2021. The network is predominantly managed by Congress, and operates by giving members of the server their own "channels" by which they have agency to manage themselves. Within these personalized channels, these members post and create content which is exclusive or specialized to their channel.

Under this classification, The Gob Network does not necessarily operate in this specific part of the server, as the "daily channels," in which specific content is posted by contributing members -- "larvaes" -- on a regular basis, fit the criteria as features of the network, and so will be included in this article.

## Content

The Gob Network currently has seven content channels; four "personal" channels or channels managed by one or two particular members, and three "daily" channels managed by larvae contributors. The personal channels, or the *Gob Inspo* segment, includes *Ker Channel*, *Summer Time*, *The Snosm and Bulrush Variety Hour*, and *Nicky's Piracy Corner*. Additionally, the daily channels, or the *Gob Daily* segment, includes *Daily Frogs*, *Daily Funny Animal*, and *Daily Sea Critter*.

### Ker Channel (4 May 2021 - )

*Ker Channel* is managed by Kerzid, world-renowned Twitter artist, comic writer, video game player, and sock aficionado; the channel primarily features content pertaining to their drama comic *Take to Heart* and its characters such as pages from the comic, cartoons/animations, art, bite-sized comic sketches, music videos, or commentary on the creation of the comic, to name several. Secondarily, the channel features content related to other original characters of theirs and outside media such as video games or music.

### Sum Rain Will (2 June 2021 - )

*Sum Rain Will* is the progeny of Gobulite Summer, who began the channel as *Summer Time* by posting personal audio commentaries on life, the universe and Everything, in episodes called *vibe talks*. Recently, the channel has shifted focus on funny videos and charming personal life update messages.

Season 2 of Vibe Talks aired on 18 June 2021 and featured Summer's cat.

On 18 October 2021, Summer Time rebranded into Summer and Wilam Time, adding Summer's friend Wilam as a co-host of the channel.

On 8 December 2021, Summer and Wilam Time rebranded into Sum Rain Will, adding Summer and Wilam's friend Rainyy as another co-host of the channel.

Wilam announced a temporary absence from the channel and from the server on 29 December 2021, with co-host Rainyy considering the same but not following through.

On 1 June 2022, co-hosts Rainyy and Wilam left the server, leaving Summer as the channel's only remaining host.

### Nicky's Piracy Corner (16 August 2021 - )

This "*piracy corner*" is managed by local furry anarcho-syndicalist Nicky 64, in which premium or exclusive media (mostly songs) are posted and encrypted online for free enjoyment. The channel is a successor to the now defunct *Zach Channel* and is managed by multiple other people, including the only remaining former *Zach Channel* operative Zach Eggsalad.

### The Zachrooms (6 October 2021 - )

*The Zachrooms* (formerly *Supermarket*) is a spiritual successor to the *Zach Channel* which was brought back following Zach Bruh's return to Gobcord. The channel primarily features liminal spaces posted by Zach Eggsalad and comics drawn of Zach Bruh which depicts the illustrator's misadventures throughout the liminal world. The channel also features content posted by "zachies" -- the revamped version of "zach babes."

### Him Channel (7 October 2021 - )

Inspired by the Ker Channel, Gobcord Congressman Sketchy (also known as "him.") created a channel for posting various drawings, comics, songs, and other "lighthearted shenanigans."

### Tristan Orifice (18 December 2021 - )

*Tristan Orifice* is a personal channel hosted by Tristan "Honkus" Softwood. It was created in similar vein to *Emy Stuff* as a way for Tristan to channel their whiteness in a controlled setting. The channel prominently features photos of fish and commentary on Minecraft builds. It's really fucking hard to make this sound interesting it's just fish and Minecraft call it the Fish and Minecraft Channel fuck it

### Emy Stuff With Emy (3 December 2021 - )

*Emy Stuff With Emy* is an education channel curated by Gobulite Emy. The channel was created to replace *The Snosm and Bulrush Variety Hour* and features informative showcases on a variety of historical and civic arts such as alternate history, vexillology, speculative biology, worldbuilding, cartography, and paleontology. The channel serves as a vice for Emy's carnal pent-up febrile femboy estrogen-fueled rage. It was archived into the Library of Alexandria on 1 February 2022 in order to make way for *The Grand Onionm* channel and was unarchived 11 days later on 12 February. The channel name was originally "Keule Stuff With Keulemans" but was changed to accommodate for Emy's new name.

### The Grand Oniomn (1 February 2022 - )

*The Grand Oniomn* is a multimedia showcase channel created for Australian digital and musical artist Oniomn. The channel was created as a replacement for *Emy Stuff With Emy* which was archived the same day. The channel gets its name from Grand Union Family Markets, a local supermarket chain in the northeastern United States. Residents of Sam's town in Upstate New York often referred to the store as "the grand onion" as a joke. Literally absolutely 0 people but him understand this reference.

### Daily Frogs (14 January 2021 - )

*Daily Frogs* is an amphibious animal documentary channel which posts pictures and videos of interesting or funny frogs. The channel was launched by Kris Is Tired shortly after the creation of the server, and predates the concept of The Gob Network. Originally, the channel was solely ran by Nxed, and has since had its roster of sponsors and contributors broadened among the larvae troupe.

### Daily Funny Animal (10 February 2021 - )

Another channel created by Kris and predating the network, this channel was made to build upon the concept of the Daily Frogs channel by allowing the larvaes to showcase any funny or interesting animal beyond amphibians. The most popular animals showcased in this channel are cats and dogs.

### Daily Capybara (30 October 2021 - )

*Daily Capybara* is a daily channel primarily managed by Zach Bruh but under access by the entire larvae colony. It is the successor of *Daily Sea Critter*, as that channel began to simmer out in activity and quality. Zach frequently proves himself an eclectic source of cute and amusing capybara content, which prompted the channel takeover.

## Discontinued channels

### Daily Sea Critter (1 June 2021 - 30 October 2021)

The only channel of the Gob Daily compendium created after the Goup, this channel began as *Daily Octopus* and was launched as the same concept of the two previous daily channels but with octopi and other like cephalopodic mollusks. Naturally, the scope of octopedal content broadened to include sea creatures in general, prompting the rebrand. Like Nxed was to Daily Frogs, Rain Man began as the foremost contributor to Daily Octopus before it became Daily Sea Critter under the umbrella dominion of larvaes

The channel was discontinued in favor of *Daily Capybara*.

### Daily Floppa Channel (Defunct)

*The Daily Floppa Channel* was a Gob Daily channel created and ran by Summer which posted pictures and photos of caracals, or "floppas." [link page] Along with the channel, a specific server role for those invested in Summer's diurnal floppage was created, and was notified whenever a new floppa aired. I have no knowledge of when the channel was created or deleted, because the Discord-integrated audit log fucking deletes shit after a certain period of time why???? what's the fucking point???????

### Zach Channel (20 June\* - 15 August 2021)

The predecessor to *Nicky's Piracy Corner*, Zach Eggsalad and Zach Bruh along with an entourage of zach babes would post images of liminal environments or "backrooms" for viewers' enjoyment. The version of the Zach Channel created 20 June was only the second iteration of the channel after the original was accidentally deleted by Sam (me).

\*The date of the original channel's conception has been lost to the sands of time due to Discord's audit log being FUCKING useless and due to the channel being created before Gobcord utilized its own, slightly more comprehensive Carl Bot audit log.

### The Snosm and Bulrush Variety Hour (2 July 2021 - 3 December 2021)

A channel dedicated to *The Snosm and Bulrush Show*, this channel was created as a partnership between English composer and philosopher Snosm and his trusty steed Bulrush Cumbungi. The channel was created as a supplement to the defunct *Zach Channel* after one of the eponymous Zachs left the server. The concept of the show was an audio podcast of an almost absurd nature featuring the titular Snosm and Bulrush. The channel was relatively unused, with cohost Bulrush taking sporadic breaks from the server ontop of the two hosts being engulfed with personal work. Only one episode and a theme song had been produced since its launch. On 3 December 2021, The Snosm and Bulrush Variety Hour was cancelled and archived in favor of *Emy Stuff with Emy*.
