#I just don’t know anymore

[watcher0033]

….I don’t fucking know with this timeline anymore 😭

[yeyayeya]

Fuck Word of Honor

What the hell was Ep. 35? I wanted wholesome fluff after all the shit that happened and was so happy to see Gu Xiang and Cao Weining get married because they’re so cute (and more of the found family dynamic because I love it)

Fuck everything, and I cried like 3 times during that episode

So I’m not happy about the latest chapter. I didn’t care about Kenjaku as a character so it’s not like I’m going to miss him but… this leaves Sukuna as the final villain, and I hate that. For me, Sukuna was most interesting (and most fun) when he was a wild card who wasn’t on anyone’s side but his own, when he made things objectively worse for both protagonists and antagonists every time he appeared. For me he just doesn’t work as the primary villain. For one thing, we still don’t even know what his goals are. What happens if he wins in the end? What does he even want? It’s hard to care about the stakes when we don’t know what those stakes are. Maybe he wants to rule the world. Maybe he wants to kill every sorcerer on the planet. Maybe he wants to open a restaurant with Uraume. Who the fuck knows? But it only matters if he’s the primary villain.

Also, him being the final villain pretty much guarantees he’ll die in the end. If he’s just the wild card, I can see an ending where he remains sealed in Yuji but still very much alive.

Kenjaku said his will would be inherited but I’m not putting any hopes in that changing things. At this point introducing a new villain to be the final boss won’t work. Also! I really wish we had gotten some kind of confrontation between Kenjaku and Yuji about Kenny being his freaking mom. The fact that it was never addressed between them is ridiculous.

I like to be mysterious. You will never know if I ship Stancy or Jancy. But here’s the thing…I don’t know either.

RANT POST:

Really hate the rhetoric that gen z is a super accepting and progressive generation.

I’m sat in my common right now, and in the past, 5 minutes? The F slur has been yelled too many fucking times. And then people joke it’s bad and laugh and keep saying it.

I don’t feel safe, my entire body feels gross every time they say it.

I’m going home for lunch and then coming back in for my lesson.

We are not any better than the previous generations. We claim we are sure. And maybe as a whole we are more progressive.

I see it on social media all the time. How we are the new progressive generation. The one who will fix things. Who will give us hope. The good generation.

We are not good. We live in a bubble, an echo chamber. Constantly hearing the same opinions of those like us, online, in media, in real life. So I think we tend to be shocked when we meet people our age who doesn’t match our ideas of what we are.

We’re not as good as the older generations, we’ve just convinced ourselves we are.

But I don’t think this is damning? I don’t feel as if we’re doomed. It just makes me want to push back, to fight harder, so that we can at least try and make the world better for the next generation.

Imagine finding out that your grandma throws kittens down a hill on Mother’s Day. I understand that you can’t keep them, but find a more humane way, find someone to help take care of them, I would if I could, but my situation doesn’t allow me to. So yeah, hearing a day old kitten getting chucked down a steep hill really fucked me up today. 🙃🙃👌🏼

idk if i want to post oc things on here ever again honestly

[mymumisasquid]

Here’s the thing:

Until Silvio, Gilbert and Keith’s routes are released, I doubt I’ll be very passionate about another after Chevalier’s.

It’s a bit strange, but I enjoy consuming the fandom content more than the actual game (aside from events and stuff). I started Nokto’s route to learn about the twins’ past, but I got too bored. I’m thinking of doing Jin, Luke or Leon’s route (even Rio) because I want to write a fic where my OC is closely incorporated with those 3.

Now I want to do Sariel’s, but mostly for the foreign princes (I know, I’m a monster).

I don’t know if this makes me weird or a “fake fan” but I just…

desperately questioning whether my mum was a good parent or not

[astronomodome]

These thumbnails sure are something. Good for her? 🏳️‍⚧️?

[mattspoetdepartment]

Like you said. Other blogs got the same anon but she only pointed out yours. She thinks you’re an easy target but you’re not. You’re strong. And these people are not going to bully and gaslight you tonight. Not with us calling them out.

I just can’t believe I’m going through this shit again

long (like ridiculously long) rant about watcher entertainment

Whilst the vast majority of the response to the watcher drama has been negative I still have seen a few people expressing opinions along the lines of ‘oh its just $6’  ‘shouldn't creators be paid for their work’ etc. I also think this situation is getting a lot of attention from people who don't necessarily watch Watcher, or haven’t keep up with them in years so here is my breakdown of why people are unhappy with the announcement that Watcher will be putting ALL upcoming content behind a $6 a month streaming service (with the exception of the premiere episode of each season going to Youtube.) 

The issue is not that it's $6.

The success of other internet companies like dropout and smosh is proof people are willing to pay for content they enjoy and to support independent content creators. I personally have given money to kickstarters, patreons, digital downloads etc in the past. But I do that because I know I’m valued as a fan with and without my money. I still get access to content on youtube for free. Even Dropout, who is a much larger and more expensive operation than Watcher, releasing 5 show a week, still maintains a steady Youtube presence.

The thing with these internet companies is they can be successful in creating something but they do have to understand that you are on the internet. You're not netflix or HBO or hulu or whatever. Watcher’s obsession with creating ‘television-calibre content’ worth $6 a month whilst also only having one show a week is unrealistic. They want to be independent creators but also television producers… but you’re not!  They hate being youtubers so much but YOU ARE. That’s how you gained a fanbase in the first place and you were successful at it! If you’re not happy being a youtuber that’s fine, move on and do something else. But you can’t expect it to be funded by the fans. So many famous artists create content they care less about that has a larger audience, and that in turn funds the stuff they DO care about. If you’re so dedicated to making expensive, high-quality productions you should be using these smaller cheaper shows to save money and fund them, rather than forcing everyone of your fans to pay a monthly subscription fee that I’m sorry, just isnt worth it or is simply unaffordable for the majority of your audience who you have now essentially told aren’t welcome or valued by you. And which one is it? 

Such a large percentage of your audience are casual viewers too. Why cut out that completely? What fans are you expecting to follow you to this ? Your most dedicated fans are there because they like Ryan and Shane, so why not push that? Are you trying to appeal to your fans or are you trying to make the content you want. There’s no clear creative direction that makes sense with this move and that’s why people aren’t supporting you. 

Also I’m sorry but how can we suddenly trust the content is gonna improve once we start funding it when there’s already been so many missteps both in their content and their business. Look at how many fans have said Ghost Files and Mystery Files have started feeling phoned in. Their patreon has been mismanaged for years, they barely promote it and the perks on there aren't really worth it (but they have 6000 paying members because people can and do want to support them!). They go months having barely any merch. There are ways to make money on youtube, they’re just not doing it well . 

And I’m sorry. But there is just absolutely no reason to have 25 employees. Shows like Survival mode should be cheap and easy to produce, and help bring in money to support larger ventures like ghost files. So why are there 18 people credited for a video of you playing Minecraft? And of course I don’t want people to lose their jobs. But continuing with this is going to cause EVERYONE to lose their jobs regardless. 

They also barely have a plan for their new content. People watch for Ryan and Shane, you KNOW THAT. So why is your first new big show hiring the worth it boys and doing a globe-trotting, crazily expensive show. Are you even really expanding your content if you’re still sticking to a one-video-a-week schedule with no present plan to change that? They have a survey for subscribers to vote which past show to bring back, but there’s obviously a major budget difference between filming something like Weird Wonderful World and something like SD&D&D… or at least there should be but there isn't when you employ 20 people to make one video. There’s such a clear lack of thought put into it that makes me even less likely to want to support. 

I want to say that they probably expected a negative backlash and thought they could just wait it out… but did they? Because WHY did they hype this up like it was an insane new announcement fans would go wild for. WHY do this several days before you have live shows where you let fans ask questions live to your faces? So much of this roll out makes absolutely no sense and makes Ryan, Shane, and Steve look so ridiculously out-of-touch with their fanbase, which only makes fans feel even less supportive. 

I think their defenders think we want to see Watcher crash and burn but the majority of us don't. I want them to be successful but this isn't the way to do it and I truly do believe it’s going to ruin their company. Unfortunately as much as I love them, I wont be supporting them.

detachment || disconnection

You know what’s funny? How I can say that I headcanon a character as somewhere on the ace spectrum and/or aro spectrum, and within minutes I am being treated as if I am somehow very unintelligent and know nothing of the world.
