TW: Is it true that they didn't even ask Cody/Theo back????
I just assumed that Cody said no,
But after reading some articles, he said that he wasn't even contacted
Does anyone else find that odd???
Sure some fans are saying that his arc wrapped up great so all's well, but he's one half of a popular ship. I assumed Cody was one of the FIRST actors producers/Jeff would be calling
Plus Theo was one of the most interesting characters deserting his sister/ he was raised by the fricking dread Doctors!
Thiam aside, I was very interested too see how the new Redeemed Theo turned out. And I wanted to see how his relationship with Scott has changed over the years
I can't believe the TW Team had the opportunity to invite him and were like.......
And the cast and crew all loved Cody,
And it didn't even cross their minds to ask if he was free????
This makes absolutely NO sense at all!!!!!!

Watcher fans sure are entitled and a little insane, ngl. "No one is going to sign up for your service! We're all poor! You've made the worst decision, and you'll be back in no time!" Saying this directly to the creators really reminds you of how low the respect for people you don't personally know has gone. I miss the forth wall between creator and audience.
I get and fully understand not having the money to support them, but... Watcher does have fans with money. A lot of them actually. They have merch sales. Their live tour sells out most venues. They have thousands of supporters on Patreon, where the cheapest tier is $5. They're able to gauge the rough finances of their staunchest supporters; that's how they landed on the subscription price. Yes, this move will reduce their viewership in sheer numbers, but to say all of their fans are broke and none will follow/support is factually incorrect.
It may not be a decision everyone agrees with, but severing the limitations of advertisers and youtube in favor of artistic freedom is a good thing. Yes, even if it comes with a loss of revenue. They understand that risk.
Also, I'm begging people to stop treating this like "another Netflix" or something and instead look at it as, "I am supporting a creator I like, similar to Patreon." They literally said in the video that they don't care if you share accounts. Get five friends, and you'll pay $1/mo.
I hate feeling compelled to rant in favor of their decision because I have my own reservations about whether it's the best move. However, I know it's not a choice they made lightly, and I like to think they understand that they'll need to branch out like crazy to entice subscribers.

why the hugheses wear the numbers they do
a lot of people tend to be curious why the Hughes brothers wear 43 and 86, and I wanted to do a small dive into why.
So where does 43 come from? First we need to start with the number 6. Jack once said, "No. 6 is the family number. Everyone has worn it: uncles, aunts, cousins, brothers" and Luke has said he wore 6 because his brothers and dad wore it. And it seems that before they entered the NHL, it was their preferred number. With that background done with, let's move back to 43.
According to Quinn, the first of the brothers to wear No. 43, he chose it while he was playing for the U17 NTDP team; "Going into my U17 year, I was always had No. 6 so I didn’t really know what to pick (between 30 and 60) and there wasn’t much for me to go with so I just went with 43 and I liked it and just stuck with it." The next year, when he was on the U18 team he went back to 6. Then when he went to UMich a senior had No. 6, and as a frosh he wasn't going to ask him to switch, so he went back to 43, really liked it and feels like "that's [his] number now," and obviously kept it when he signed with the Canucks.
When Jack entered the program Quinn passed 43 onto him. Apparently, the night Jack was drafted by the Devils, he saw a No. 43 Devils jersey with his name on it. But he chose to wear No. 86 because similar to Quinn, 6 was already taken by a senior member of the team. In this case that member was Andy Greene, the then captain of the Devils. Something that a lot of people like to point out is that 86 is a double of 43 and believe that's why Jack chose 86. In this article, Jack says he chose 86 because he previously wore it when he was with the Marlboros.
Luke, like his brothers before did, wore 43 while on the U17 team, 6 while on the U18 team, and 43 while he was at UMich. In his words, "I always wore #6 because my brothers and my dad wore it and then #43 because both my brothers came through the program and wore it."
So there you have it, that's why the Hugheses wear 43 and 86.
As an aside, contrary to popular belief, the number 43 did not come from their mom, Ellen. As for what number Ellen wore, I could only find that she had No. 5 while she played in the 1992 IIHF Women's World Championships, 21 while she was with UNH and 22 when she played as a kid in Dallas.

we talked a lot about how the incidents in delica absolutely broke ludger, but tbh, casey didnt come out of it unscathed either.
imagine how lonely you must have been to willingly travel to such a distant land just to see someone who was potentially like/similar to you. and when you thought you finally got a best friend who could understand you in a way that no one else could, they turned out to be something you would absolutely abhor with your entire existence. they gave no explanations. they bothered not with excuses. there wasnt even enough time for you to grieve what you just lost because they forced your hands to fight them in a death battle. without a word, they just simply vanished as if your friendship in the past few months meant absolutely nothing to them and you were left alone again, trying to navigate when and what went wrong all by yourself. there was a mix of burning hatred, betrayal, and sadness inside you, but there was no longer anyone for you to talk about it — no one that could understand it. you endured all those feelings for three years with no one to share while chasing after your old-best-friend-now-turned-archenemy for answers because they never gave you the closure you deserved.
even when you finally learned the truth, you realised that they had never trusted you nor your abilities enough to even consider working together. rather, they took on the most extreme measure and didnt hesitate to make you their biggest enemy all the while keeping all their troubles and pains to themselves. best friends, friends, friendly acquaintances, private detective and their client — it turned out that your relationship was neither of them. was it truly your one-sided assumption after all? or perhaps, was it because you failed them when you could have known better and done better? still wanting to keep believing that your companionship was once real, your guilt started gnawing on your conscience. not only you couldnt save them, but your inadequateness also doomed them to their worst fate possible.
then, the opportunity came. you finally mustered up all the courage to utter an apology. even though they acknowledged it, they made no intention to accept your peace offerings. they reminded, "our alliance is temporary". they stressed, "enemies are what we are destined to be". what a fool you were, trying to save a relationship that never existed. either that, or you had never truly been forgiven. they wanted nothing to do with you. they needed not saving by you. it wasnt a closure you wanted but its still a closure you got. in the end, you were left alone once more, with the knowledge of a possibility that you also might not be able to save them again this time.

Maybe this is me realizing the effects of childbirth but with how much the fish mafia just loves breeding I wonder how they'll react to their darling being insecure with their new stretch marks. Even better! What if this was SK!Jade orz orz I think they wouldn't care but I'd like to believe Floyd doesn't wake up everyday and just boisterously dotes on them to fuck with you 😭
Floyd absolutely dotes on them!!! He thinks your stretch marks are so cute! You look even more soft and squeezable! He will remind you of how cute you are every single day, all with a bright, genuine smile! You’re perfect as you are. He loves you no matter what. <3
Azul likes to kiss each stretch mark. He knows very well how certain features can cause for self-consciousness, but he thinks you are absolutely beautiful. He treasures every mark on your body. What you might think is ugly or an insecurity is what Azul calls perfection. He adores every inch of you.
Sk!Jade will trace each mark with his finger, mapping out every path against your skin, all while telling you that for each mark you have you are ten times beautiful. As always, he’s dangerously charming. He’ll make you trace them with him, sometimes even holding your hand and guiding it along the marks while he assures you that you’re the prettiest in his world. And you know this is true because anyone else who may have been pretty in his eyes have wound up in his next meal and so they’re no longer part of any world.
