Wait what happened to Thomas Sanders???

Basically, Thomas Sanders (who, btw, is gay) used to be basically the celebrated Unproblematic Fav Uwu of Tumblr and Vine. Everyone loved him, everyone praised him for being inclusive and positive, making fun and unique vines that were appropriate and enjoyable for any age group.

Then one day he got an aphobic ask (I honestly don’t remember what this was even in response to, I think it was some really innocent one-off “I hope asexuals have a good day” type of post or something like that, idek), to which he wrote a long and sincere response that basically summed up to “Hey, that’s not a nice attitude to have, please take a moment to think about how other people must feel and why it’s so important to you to shut them down”

Within literal hours (and this is something I witnessed myself, I was online when it all went down), a smear campaign against him had started. Suddenly even people who had previously been huge fans of him were shit-talking him left and right, declaring him cringey, and grasping at straws to make “callout posts” for him. One popular argument I remember hearing was- And I shit you not, I am not making this up- He was a “pedophile” because he made videos for a family demographic and has a young-looking face, but was 29 or whatever and therefore “pretending to be a kid” or whatever the fuck. He even, gasp, made vines about high school, despite not being a high schooler himself! (Dan Green voice) That’s called “acting”, children!

His popularity never really recovered, and these days he’s mostly considered “cringey” by a large portion of the internet due to the main demographic most of his fans fall into, because you know it’s hip and cool to shame young girls and queer kids for the things that bring them joy.

So yeah, TL;DR used to be pretty well liked by the majority of Tumblr with nobody really having anything bad to say about him, expressed support for aspecs one day, immediately fell victim to exclusionist harrassment and is now at best considered just a cringey teenage girl thing.

Can you believe we live in a society where people are kissing Elsa’s ass and viewing her as a great big sister despite neglecting Anna through their whole ass childhood just cause she has the ability to make fucking freezer ice cubes while Nani, a dedicated brown woman who despite lost her parents by a lethal storm had to push her grief aside because Lilo was now her main priority, took care of her, fed her, probably paid money for her hula classes, busted her ass at her job to financially support Lilo, busted her ass to emotionally support Lilo, supported Lilo’s photography talent even though Lilo’s theme was a little weird, got her a dog and even during moments where Nani hit was hitting rock bottom (ex: getting fired but didn’t put her frustration out on Lilo) she did whatever it took to keep her little sister from being taken away, and wanted nothing but happiness and safety for her.

the entire premise of be more chill is just to avoid multi-level marketing schemes. think about it: an average joe gets approached by their high school bully who now wants to befriend them. the bully convinces him to purchase/sell this product that’s “guaranteed to make your life better.” it’s all about pyramid schemes. joe, i’m fucking onto you.

I hate shipwrecks in Minecraft bc they imply that there is/was some form of intelligent life in Minecraft before the player…… It’s clearly not villagers bc they can’t even build a village properly…… Who are these mysterious ship builders and where did they go…..

still recovering from travel/hand injury but I have folks asking for advice on expressions a lot so here’s an old patreon early xmas present for you folks! (I make things like this for the 20 dollar tier by request, so if you’d like more…)

as ever this is just stuff I do/have observed and there’s no real right or wrong way of doing things! just get out there and observe, draw, make mistakes, learn from them and do it again! and again, and again…

y’all......

What is this, newsies? What is this?

And here I was thinking there were only 2 “bad language” words in Newsies both said by Jack.

[kidblink-182]

Annabeth: What does calligraphy mean again?

Percy: Oh, uh... it’s, like, dancing in a play.

Grover: That’s choreography. You’re thinking of someone having a high level of respect.

Clarisse: That’s dignity. You’re thinking of an oppressive government.

Luke: That’s tyranny. You’re thinking of a relationship with more than two people.

Silena: That’s polygamy. You’re thinking of when someone does something in the same way over time.

Leo: That’s consistency. You’re thinking of when no one can see you.

Will: That’s invisibility. You’re thinking of electromagnetic waves with ionization.

Thalia: That’s radioactivity. You’re thinking of when something is completely the same when split down the middle.

Nico: That’s symmetry. You’re thinking of being totally calm and peaceful.

Piper: That’s tranquility. You’re thinking of—

Annabeth: I GIVE UP.

- the whole intro song is hilarious, my personal favourite being the scream

- ‘WE NEVER TALK ABOUT THIS AGAIN’

- ‘Cluebert was the glue of our gloop’ as Joey remains completely straight faced

- Brian describing the plot to different animal films and Scrags reaction when he realises

- Keith’s hip wiggle when showing his temporary tattoo

- ‘Cluebert was the nerdy girl right?’ Super long pause ‘Cluebert was the dog’

- Scrags steadily wearing more and more FBI clothing and his friends being completely oblivious

- ‘you have no upcoming events’

- Joey’s voice as Scrags is the funniest thing ever

- Esther’s entire opening to Ants Marching

- Lauren’s voice as Esther is adorable

- ‘it’s fine it’s fine, I’m addicted to drugs’

- ‘I am a sample lady at Costco’ whilst laying on the floor with her eyes closed

- Joey with that hat on backwards is cute as

- the idea that Gabe is backstage catching every Rubix cube Lauren throws is ridiculous and hilarious

- the housekeeping/checked out joke

- HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO LINE THESE TINY SEAMS WITH ALL MY DRUGS?

- Scrags slowly losing his temper with everyone in the van

- the constant thunder and lightning gag

- the gay gas attendant, like that whole scene, ‘I wish you all a jizz free day my friends’

- Keith getting in the van and immediately screaming at Scrags

- Cole unlocking the door and it literally goes on forever followed by an obscene amount of squeaking

- Esther’s permanent look of disinterest

- the mono story

- nope nope this isn’t an elevator it’s just a door with a clock above it. Oh my god I laughed so hard at that

- Scrags catching Esther twice and then just flopping her on the floor where she stays for the remainder of the scene

- (am I gonna have to split this into two posts?)

- oh my god Brian as the maid has me in hysterics every time ‘This is weird, I am not camera ready, I must go… no no no no no’

- ‘three guys didn’t just make this whole thing up in a room a month ago from their imagination. This is real life’

- Scrags finally getting in the acting zone

- Jinkies Christ

- SCRAGS GONNA DO A SANDWICH TRICK, SANDWICH, SCRAGS GONNA DO A SANDWICH TRICK, SANDWICH

- Joey looking over his shoulder with the sweetest smile on his face during the sandwich trick

- Keith getting stabbed with the prop knife and exclaiming ‘Ouch my heart’

- ‘uh Keith? kindly remind Scrags that he just a second ago told us not to jump to conclusions?’ ‘Uh didn’t you just a second ago tell us’ followed by high pitch nothingness

- ‘ooh Keith you gonna let him talk to you like that?’ No! Yeah’

- Joey’s acting in the scene where he goes mad at Gwen and has a massive monologue that just gets more and more hurtful

- Brian running around as various different characters and keeping track of them all perfectly

- Keith very slowly being pulled away by the demonic apostle

- Esther not being able to see and yelling at literally nothing and then stabbing Scrags straight in the face

- ‘ITS ALL GONNA GO THE WAY THOSE THREE WRITERS IN THE SKY DECIDE AND WE CANT CHANGE THAT’

- Joey losing his Scrags voice completely when agreeing that Keith is a coward

- the music in the door running scenes

- Scrags stopping to air guitar with the demonic apostle

- Lauren’s whole monologue is legitimately insane and she’s so so good at it and it gets faster and faster

- no spoilers but the ending is hilarious and genius and everything I wanted from a Scooby Doo/Nancy Drew spoof

In conclusion please watch this show, if you’re in New York it’s running until May 12th, if you can’t make it you can buy digital tickets on the tin can bros website and they are super cheap, or if you want to watch the LA version it’s all on YouTube!!!!!!
