Taking a minute to appreciate the way the folks at Watcher take time to appreciate and support their LGBTQ+ fans, because... Of course they've always been great with general fan engagement via incorporating fan submissions into shows, the way they run their social media, etc... But they've kicked off pride month with an entire merch line, designed by queer artists, the proceeds of which go to support queer people... This isn't just performative "participate in pride month because it's good for business" bullshit, this is genuinely amazing. They aren't plastering rainbows on top of their content to get more engagement and brownie points from fans, they're genuinely advocating for what they believe in and actively showing support to people who really need it right now. I know my blog here is mostly bullshit / meme content, but I just want to take a moment here to say, from the bottom of my heart, thank you, to EVERYONE at Watcher. Thank you for not only creating hilarious, innovative, and wonderful content, but also for showing genuine support and love to the LGBTQ+ community. What you do means the world to so many people, and all of us Watcherinas are eternally grateful <3

WATCHERINAS

GHOST FILES IS NOMINATED FOR A WEBBY AWARD

you know what we have to do.

VOTE HERE

come on, i saw what you guys did with shane sweep, now we can do it with an ONLINE AWARD

its important that we do this the right way!! dont try to vote a billion times, and dont vote too quickly. worth it, and the try guys' without a recipe is also nominated!! we dont wanna get our votes deleted!!

press read more to hear me talk about how much i love ghost files

I LOVE THIS SHOW SO MUCH!!

its the perfect mix of comedy and suspense, and all the new tools are so fun to watch. even as a true shaniac i get nervous watching the show (usually becuase i think theres gonna be a PERSON walking around these abandoned places, and not a ghost, but i digress)

the payoffs for the high anticipation is so good, especially when its one of them does something funny, or the ovilus gives a funny response is always so good. they got bullied by their equipment! shane fought a ghost! they met night time dan! they fucked around with a creepy doll head!! theres SO MANY GOOD MOMENTS !!

its the perfect ghost hunting show because it's the ghost hunting show for believers and skeptics alike, and all the different tools and techniques keep the hour long episodes fresh.

plus! they go all in on the solo investigation! and thats when some real insane shit happens. shane pranks ryan, ryan goes insane, shane lays on the floor and looks at dolls, ryan eats some popcorn, incredible stuff. 🤌✨️

[cheapbananas]

why's everyone supposed to be either a "shaniac" or a "boogara" or like somewhere in the middle???? wtf is up with that???? what if im NEITHER? what if i PASSIONATELY and BLATANTLY disagree with BOTH of them??????!!!? what if i have my own unique set of thoughts and ideas like an individual? what if every time i hear either of them talk about ghosts i go, 'who failed you in childhood?' what about that WATCHERINAS??

and you know what?? SCREW THE TWO PARTY SYSTEM! the two party system is a farce designed by the ghosts to distract us from how well they're getting hunted by shane and ryan. DONT FALL FOR THEIR LIES! i call for revolution! screw this 'you have to be either a skeptic or believer' narrative. ITS DESIGNED TO DIVIDE US! if we unionize, we can find the REAL truth!

my opinions on watcher tv

i don't want to sound like a parrot and repeat things others have said so eloquently, but i do have a lot of opinions and questions. i hope you don't mind this post.

first and foremost, i am an artist and creator just like the boys, just like staff at watcher, and just like many watcherinas. i understand everyone who says "we didn't ask for this high quality, overly-produced stuff, we just wanted you". i feel the same way. but as an artist, i would hate having to create stuff that i'm not comfortable with and don't enjoy, just because it makes me money. i would want the freedom to create whatever without having to worry about bills. don't we all?

if ghost files and the production value is what they are satisfied in, i can't then come in and say "just don't do that". it's a creative outlet for them, it's what they want, and it's their creative freedom.

on the other hand, however, i can't imagine how they're spending 100k on per ghost files episode. maybe if they broke it down, more of us would understand where they're coming from? i get plane tickets and hotel rooms are expensive, but if someone would've told me to guess, i would've said maybe 10k-50k per episode. still a lot, but certainly not 100k.

i also understand everyone who says "you have to pay an artist for their work". of course! i am willing to pay, like i said in another post. i've been saving up for a professor plushie for the longest time! but when something doesn't seem worth it, i'm not motivated to pay for it. to me, paying $60/year for a few shows is not something that is viable for me. what is and was viable for me was watching ads, even if they were annoying.

but also, when will the new shows come to their platform? if they're short on money, does that then mean that the new shows won't be on the platform for a while? what's the timeline?

for a big change like this, it would've made more sense for them to ease into it. if they really wanted to have their own streaming service, why remove the shows that we've had access to for years? (and i understand that they're not physically removing the shows, but they're putting every other season on this platform i can't afford). why not keep existing shows on youtube and have other shows (behind the scenes stuff, worth it, etc) on their streaming platform? or even created patreon-exclusive shows?

another big question i have is did they consider other options? right now, it feels like they didn't. they didn't ask "would you be willing to pay more on patreon?" they didn't tell us "hey this isn't financially viable, what would you like to see from us (merch, new shows, exclusive patreon shows)?" they didn't promote their patreon outside of the end of episodes of shows to promote bloopers. i wish they had kept us in the loop about what was happening. i wish they had treated us like the community that they said we were. that's maybe a little parasocial of me, but after all, they're creating content for us (per their words), so wouldn't it make sense to tell us what was going on? idk.

like i said in another post, i was once part of their patreon because i enjoyed the bloopers and behind the scenes. i eventually stopped for a couple of reasons, but mainly because i could no longer afford the $5/month. and this is coming from someone who does not subscribe to multiple different platforms (as i've seen others say; "if you can afford to have multiple different subscriptions you don't need..."). i only subscribe to things that i absolutely love, though for a few months now, i haven't been subscribed to anything because i can't afford it. most of the content i watch is on youtube. i'm not someone who watches shows on the regular, i'm not someone who tunes in to the newest show (still haven't watched euphoria, still haven't watched the new loki season, etc). so paying for something like disney+ would simply be ridiculous for me. i don't have a daily coffee spending budget, i don't subscribe to things, i don't spend money because i cannot afford it. i'm not the only one.

i'm sure they researched the different options, specifically between starting their own streaming service versus joining another existing service. what i feel like they didn't do is research their own audience. even one single youtube poll would've been great.

overall, i just wish they had gone about this differently and had warned us or told us "hey we're thinking of starting a streaming service, what do you guys think?" or something. it's very frustrating to feel like this came out of nowhere. so many watcherinas are coming up with so many creative ideas to make watcher more money, and i'm sure they would've gathered those ideas and taken them to heart had they asked.

but i'm also not going to wish they fail. i also understand that they are their own people with different needs, etc., so i'm not going to send them hate, and should they go through with this decision despite the backlash, i will support them even if i can't participate. it is what it is, and though i will be sad, i can't do anything about it, therefore i won't lose sleep over it.

i hate that everyone is putting the blame on steven. i understand the frustrations of not wanting to watch wealthy men parade their wealth during an economic crisis, then ask for money to do said activities, but he isn't the only one making major decisions. (unless he is and we just don't know?) but the blame shouldn't be put all on him when he had to greenlight it with the others (again, unless he didn't and we just don't know, though i doubt that a lot).

i really hope they succeed. i wish them all the best, i'm just mourning rn lmfao 😭

anyway, what do y'all think?

[pastaispunk]

HOLY SHIT I WAS NOT EXPECTING PEOPLE TO ACTUALLY SEE THIS WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW THANK YOU FOR FEEDING MY TWO HYPERFIXATIONS!!!!

Okay and just to update/clear things up from my first post

-I had to redo the whole back wall because we saw a new angle of the basement from the Tunguska episode but we’re good now

-When I said another Island, I meant it. I live on the island of Hawaii and the ONLY lego store in the state is on Oahu so I gotta fly because contrary to what Moana says, we don’t use a canoe to go everywhere.

-I FINALLY finished the mini figure designs for the ghoul boys but it was hard because I couldn’t match Ryan’s stupid face (I don’t actually think he has a stupid face)

-I leave for Oahu in a week but I’m going to see family on the other side of the island so it will probably be another two weeks until I can actually get the parts needed.

Again thank you so much for being a part of this.

Your funky Watcherina,

Pastaispunk

[shaniacsboogara]

Hey Watcherinas!!! Do you enjoy watching Watcher content??? Do you enjoy posting and chatting about Watcher content online??? Would you be interested in rewatching an underrated Watcher show TOGETHER and posting about it as we go??? Then hoo boy, do I have the idea for you. Introducing...

SDNDND SUNDAYS

Every Sunday (starting Sunday, May 21st) we'll watch an episode of my personal favourite underrated Watcher series, 'Social Distancing and Dungeons and Dragons' and make some silly little posts and memes about the ep!

Why should we watch SDNDND?

Whether you're into DnD or not, SDNDND is an awesome, silly little series where Shane's storytelling really shines. As the Dungeon Master, Shane gets to guide the players (Ryan, Steven, and Katie) through a mystical fantasy world, and play a plethora of enigmatic characters who encounter the heroes along their journey. The party consists of Stephanos CoffeeBean (Steven Lim), a halfling cleric with a tragic past, a banging bod, and a heart of gold, Quezza (Katie Leblanc), a half-orc fighter with a super cool scar who's a total badass, and Steve (Ryan Bergara), a half-elf bard and little bastard (/pos). Throughout the series, the cast all grows into their characters, generating some genuinely emotional acting moments and hilarious shenanigans. If you enjoy the humour and storytelling of Puppet History, you might just love SDNDND.

Schedule

We're hoping to watch an episode of the show every Sunday. Each episode is roughly 25-35 minutes in length. The proposed schedule is as follows:

Sunday, May 21: EP 1: Social Distancing D&D • The Quarantine Games

Sunday, May 28: EP 2: How to Kill a Troll • The Quarantine Games

Sunday, June 4: EP 3: Ryan Serenades a Gnome • The Quarantine Games

Sunday, June 11: EP 4: Bergara Guitara Bird Battle • The Quarantine Games

Sunday, June 18: EP 5: Descent Into the Sewers • The Quarantine Games

Sunday, June 25: EP 6: Ryan Goes on a Murderous Rampage • The Quarantine Games

Sunday, July 2: EP 7: Deathbed Confessions • The Quarantine Games

Sunday, July 9: EP 8: Season Finale: Revenge of the Goblins • The Quarantine Games

If you're too busy to watch an episode on a scheduled day, it's no problem!!! Feel free to watch the episodes at your own times throughout the week as well, whatever works best for you!!! I personally will be posting some silly memes and things about each episode as we go, and would love for you all to join in (Almost treating it like a new Watcher release lol). This show is one of my favourites, and I really hope this can help some more people find it and get people talking about it again!!! Whether you play DnD or not, I'm sure you'll be able to enjoy this series!!! See you Sunday!!!

SUPER BOOP FOR YOU!

you always make the best memes and edits. thanks for being a cool watcherina <3

AWAUGH <3

thank you!!!! that is very kind and means a lot! recently, I've been down because i can't make the shitposts i used to make in my youth (less than a year ago), mostly because im busy with school and!! a much bigger, way cooler thing that's been simmering for a while, and will continue to simmer for a while until we can finish it right.

this ask is like a balm to that burn that's been eating away at me for the past few months. im hoping to get some of that feral meme and edit energy back this summer, but im not gonna push it or make any promises. It's so nice to be reminded that people like the silly postings i make. because honestly, they are soo fun to make!! and respost! this community is so cool, man.

anyways

BOOPING YOU
