Shane: In real life - I don't - you know, I want - I want to hype him up and make sure he's feeling good, you know, but when we're in a haunted location, I want him to be as freaked out as possible. I want those eyes bulging.
Ryan: They are, they - yeah.
Shane: He's a bulger.
Ryan: They were. They were bulgin'. My balls were bulging.
Shane: [laughs] Eyeballs.
Ryan: Correct.
Ryan & Shane Talk The Future of Ghost Files & Watcher Streaming Platform Apr 25, 2024
okay silly thoughts... have you noticed how Shane has gotten into grabbing Ryan by the shoulder with both hands when he's being affectionate or trying to show support or just cause??? and his hands look so huge on ryan ofc but overall its so sweet
The one I remember is Haunted Halls of Morris-Jumel Mansion, but Shane was fucking with him saying "oOOooo spooky" basically
PEOPLE. HELP ME GATHER THIS. WE NEED SCIENTIFIC REPORTS!!!!
In another timeline, the fans haven't let Watcher down but lifted them up and they're probably celebrating and living their artistic dreams instead of reading comments about how they're greedy, about how no one wants to actually see them or their shows or about how the quality and love for detail and the passion they pour into their projects is irrelevant because "we just want to see Ryan and Shane goofing off" and I wish someone would beam me into that reality because I feel actually so disgusted and heartbroken for them. Genuinely.
It's been a couple days and things have quieted down for as much as they'll quiet down, but I will not forget this. I will not forget feeling like I was a lonely island while the entire internet and their fanbase turned on them. I will not forget the vile racism and hate thrown at Steven Lim. I will not forget top comments with thousand of likes telling Ryan that all the passion and high standards he pours into his projects isn't appreciated. I will not forget their stressed faces, or the tears in Shane's eyes. I will not forget going to the show in Europe with a stomach ache, because I was terrified of people booing (or worse) at them.
And as glad as I am that I got to meet them before the show and could give them some support, I just, genuinely. Still feel so heartbroken, because they deserved better and I feel like there's forever going to be broken trust between us now - from their side. They shared so much with us, they felt so *comfortable* sharing with us, they trusted us to not do this to them, and they trusted us to want their videos enough to support them through this and instead they got.......... whatever this was. It's just sad. I feel so sad for them.
I'm actually too lazy to make a watcher fan account, which isn't to say that I won't be having one, just that it's gonna be this one. So uh. Yeah. Sorry to my Thoschei moots, I guess. 😬
Since this post made the haters so mad, they spammed my inbox and my Ao3 with hate, here's me not giving a shit and giving the boys my support in person. Die mad about it. ❤️👻
If watcher has 3 million supporters, I'm one of them,
If they have 5 supporters, I'm one of them
If they have one supporter, it's me.
If they have 0 supporter, I'm dead.
If I catch you at any point in time imply the white guy is being held hostage in his own company by his co founders, you are about to be.
So far, the only people I've seen apologize were the ones who didn't do it and supported the boys through all of it. :') Fuck this shit man.
so are watcher fans going to apologize for the unreal amounts of racism they projected toward steven or are we going to pretend that was totally normal behavior?
