Am I happy Watcher rolled back their plan and apologized? Yes. Have I still lost any desire to watch their videos? Yes. Do I think people are being too harsh towards Steven, singling him out and such? Yes. Do I think Steven and Andrew bringing back worth it in the middle of a global cost of living crisis is extremely out of touch? Yes.

All of these things can coexist. Feelings towards the situation can be complex. It happens.

Personal reaction to Watcher's newest update:

Ok, nice.

Watcher google drive

i think the title is pretty self explanitory

Only ghost files on it atm but Mystery Files and Puppet History are next. Watcher has back pedalled on deleteing all their free content to lock it behind a pay wall but y'know what? maybe I just dont want to give them ad revenue anymore, which is evil but screw them. Also they may still back pedal on their back pedalling, which is to many pedals anyways.

this tag is funny to me on so many levels because, by all accounts, not only is this reblog correct, but also all the media I like and refuse to shut up about are MUCH OLDER

Star Trek, Aubreyad, Scooby Doo, etc all in the 1960s Meanwhile Merlin came out like a decade ago and I am calling it old. TF

BUT I TOTALLY CALLED IT OLD BECAUSE I WAS THINKING ABOUT THE ORIGINAL STORIES OF KING ARTHUR! Like the 1100s tales, and thats just not the same thing lol.

Time is such a silly little thing and I just cannot figure out how to work it.

I have not watched BBC Merlin and probably won't, but I am a fan of the BBC Merlin fandom. This show is old and there is no new content and there probably won't ever be, but all y'all are still posting and creating cool things for and about it. I love it, it makes me so happy for you guys!

Those in business will always choose the side of capitalism. ALWAYS

watcher loved to hate on capitalism when it was trendy, but will trade in their fan base to make a profit. disappointing.

pov: Stephen Maturin, leave the Captain's cabin and go to sleep, but Jack Aubrey is correcting him on how to speak about the Surprise

Suddenly struck with a need to explain to you how boat pronouns work (I work in the marine industry).

When you're talking about the design of the boat, you say "it".

When the boat is still being built, your say "it".

When the boat is nearing completion, you can say "it" or "she".

When the boat is floating in the water you probably say "she", unless there is still a lot of work to be done (e.g. no engine yet) then you say "it".

When the boat is officially launched and operating, you say "she". If you continue to say "it" at this point you are not incorrect but suspiciously untraditional. You are not playing the game.

If you are referring to a boat you don't really know anything about you may say "it" ("there's a big boat, it's coming this way"). But if you know its name, it's probably "she" ("there's the Waverley, she's on her way to Greenock").

If you are talking about boats in general, you say "it" ("when a boat is hit by a wave it heels over")

If you speak about a boat in complimentary terms, it's "she" ("she's a grand boat"). If you are being disparaging it may be it, but not necessarily ("it's as ugly as sin", "she's a grotty old tub").

If she has a boy's name, she's still she. "Boy James", "King Edward", "Sir David Attenborough"? The pronoun is she.

If it's a dumb barge (no engine), you say it. But if it's a rowing boat (no engine), you say she.

I hope this has cleared things up so that you may not be in danger of misgendering floating objects.

kind of amazing how many right wing incel types are radicalizing themselves into believing that it’s gay to have sex with a woman

These are all the options I could think of, but maybe there are more. I don't really know.
