The Watcher drama is fascinating.

I casually like their stuff. I've fallen behind on it, and feel no urgency to catch up, so I don't feel like I'll miss out by not subscribing; I can clearly live without.

And I don't think indie creators wanting their own platform is a bad thing, which ofc will need money to run. Depending on algorithms and pleasing sponsors is shitty. I truly do get that.

But their extremely corporate video really focused in on how much they need money, and boy, they really do not know their audience. It's so tone-deaf, it's honestly impressive. Saying production is too expensive when the channel has a series all about eating expensive foods is insane. No one wants more streaming services. The economy is so bad, plenty of people really cannot afford that price (international fans especially) contrary to what the video says. Their audience skews young, too, which means spending 6$ for only a couple episodes per month probably sounds unthinkable to a lot of them who can afford it, period, even if it is indie (I'm sure some think the pricing is all the more unreasonable because it IS indie.) I'm old enough that 6$ for a couple episodes I don't physically own is too much and only the indie label could change my mind--if this was framed entirely as a creative freedom decision and not about budget lol. There's just so many reasons this reads as a Bad Business Move.

But they had a countdown to this for Big News! They must have thought people would be excited! I'm just so curious to see what their response is and whether or not this risky move pans out for them.

#watcher #personal thoughts #they have such a massive audience maybe enough people will subscribe #but i doubt it #they surely will respond though and i want to see how thet choose to go about that #im not trying to shit on the Youths either #the rise of f2p games and big youtubers and such just kinda primed people for free content #or else a subscription which gives you a LOT for your money #meanwhile i remember spending 60$ for 5 episodes of an anime. but at least i would own those dvds. i hate subscriptions

whatever shall i do with the rest of my day today

#No car no money no school mfs when they dont have work #actualy i have money but i hate spending it #I have been productive so far i cleaned a lot in my room #and got this old futon that i dont use out and put it on the porch #but then my mom got mad bc its on the porch #and shes also mad bc wecant find the duct tape to put it in this big plastic bag so the trash guy will take it #and its my fault we cant find the duct tape bc i used it last and have No fucking idea where i put it #But its okay #My room looks nicer #i want to remove this metal frame on the bottom bunk of my bunk bed #that was where the futon was #so i can put my desk there.. my room would be sm less cramped #but i need an allen wrench to unscrew the thingy #and i have ONE i found under th ebed when iwas cleaning but its slightly too big #OH i need to do my duolingo #i want to draw really bad too ive been itching to draw for like. weeks #but i cant get myself to do it im like scared #i kind of wanna play oblivion too #Or bee swarm simulator. The world is my oyster my schedule is free.

woke up at 4am feeling the weight of my life crushing me, so I’ve been sitting out in my car for the last couple of hours because I just need. to. be. somewhere else.

#tumblr ate something like this but I think I deserve to shout uselessly into the void #shits rough dawg #I know it’s rough for everyone. I feel shitty even talking about myself. still… compelled to vent… big butts #haven’t really been on here much since it hasn’t really scratched that itch lately & just makes me feel lonelier #it’s cold #saw the Jazzercise studio open across the street. 5am for Jazzercise? wow. early.#and then everyone left an hour and a half later. lights out. everybody gone. weird schedule. I am perplexed.#went down the road and got a soda and I’ve been sitting in my driveway contemplating for the last 2.5 hours #guy at the gas station tried to talk to me but I just half assed a smile and nod and left #even though I know I’d love to just… talk to someone. I suppose it has to be ‘on my terms’ whatever those are #I miss having a therapist. or even just when my little brothers would talk to me. when anyone would. blegh #my insurance is still a mess and I’m about to run out of one of my blood pressure meds this week #maybe I’ll have a stroke. scary to think about. I think about dying a lot but that potential feels too real. just… pop! and I’m done.#I’ll try today to finally push to straighten it out but everything feels daunting #woke up with so much anxiety. about my health. my hearing. no money. my life. had to get out of the house even if it’s just right outside #hate to say it but I need(want) thc. haven’t wanted to spend money on it but I could have really used it this morning #can’t be sad if you can’t feel anything (jokingly but also not. whichever is less sad sounding)#actually treated myself to Dune 2 last week and it was so so good. wish I could go again. but it’s drugs food or movie right now. so…#I know. dumb priority but BIG SCREEN. maybe it’ll hit theaters again for the next awards season hopefully. just a real nice loud experience #anyway… I should go inside. almost 7am. need to take my brothers to school then drive my mom to her daily appointments #I’ve felt so hollow and angry and sad for so long it feels like. I feels so weak and sad and I’m tired of it. I’m so tired.#I’ve been eating about 1 meal a day and sleeping a lot. this is the worst my body has ever been. I feel like I’m just waiting to die.#is this relatable?#just have to look past it. it is nothing. this body is nothing. just enjoy your soda.#gonna look at pictures of butts now #ok gotta go I love you goodbye forever #you can ignore this #text

undergoing a transformation …

#trying so hard to figure out style lately it’s a really big struggle and i’ve been hating how i present myself half the time lately #but i think i finally have a clear idea in my head and also im feeling impulsive enough to spend money on pieces i really want #god i’m yapping lately it’s my period i swear

freak Alpha (Avatar AU)

#nobody asked everyone needed #oc: vincent elijah vahn #avatar AU #oKAY sooooooo AU where Vince is for forcibly sent on Pandora #and it is THE Vince:tm: coz the timeline *kinda* matches my cyberpunk timeline with the Pandora being discovered between 2050 and 2077 #sure age would be altered a bit and shit unless he'd be over 100 when he first got there #but hes THE traumatized ex-military Vince roped back into army :]#and he's given an Avatar based on his DNA and something else coz whitecoats like to experiment right :]]#so his Avatar is a bit mutated - has more melanin/black pigment in his body and is bigger than average na'vi #and it grows patches of dark fur in certain places (like a lion almost idk idk)#labcoats making a fucking experimental HYBRID #the scarily fit merc x big alien = ultimate soldier am i right :]#its safe to say he goes feral and is extremally aggressive #he hates whats going on with the natives so he kills his entire unit and runs off #either takes his body somehow or his body isnt even there to begin with idk but they dont simply unplug him like Sully in the first movie #maybe coz its experimental it would kill off the Avatar hybrid if its cut off its human host and they spend ass ton of money on it already #and aint done studying it #but but no important rn he befriends one of those big black scawwy doggos #Thanators right #he starts living in the forest like a feral little guy; aside from being a freakish hybrid he basically looks and behaves like a native #hides from natives and lives a secluded life :]#thank you for coming to my ted talk #saevus brutalis art #saevus brutalis #saevus-brutalis art #original character #oc #na'vi oc #na'vi #avatar oc

you know what, actually this is worth a brag. I managed to eat for five days on a road trip for (calculated) ~$15 US total.

#It was not good eating. But it was eating #there *was* a day in there where i had nothing but rice. but it was fine because for the entire other four i just ate pepperoni. so i had #probably more protein than i needed all things told #i miss vegetables a little bit. but its fine because now i am home where i have onions and a kitchen and can keep being a cheapass #i fucking hate buying food at restaurants they're always so fucking expensive. god i am so good at not spending fucking money on essentials #so that instead i can buy a shitload of toys i pretty much cannot actually afford #posts i really hope no one shows my dad because he'll lecture me about them #i'm allowed to brag about this one actually #this doesnt include the cost of the two boxes of cookies i brought (roughly $10 together bc gluten free food fucking sux and is expensive)#but it does include the six seltzers and six arizonas i got #since they were both in big packages and i also didnt drink them all

Chat how soon is too soon to return to a job after being thrown a goodbye celebration under the pretense of you moving across the country 🫣

#TO BE FAIR I DID THINK I WAS MOVING AT THE TIME #I hate hate my new job #and I only got it for the pay #but my check after working 2 4.5 hr shifts was $50 #which does NOT meet the $300 a week I told them I wanted to make in my application #nor the $15 an hour I asked for and was told I would make an avg of 13-18 #in theory I’ll make more after I’m done training #but even then it’s only $8 plus a percentage of sales #and so far it has been dead all the days I’ve worked #in theory I could work up to being a server #but that would still be more training less money #and I don’t even think I would like being a server #raises the question of should you keep a job you don’t like for the moeny #I can’t stay a host though I don’t know if it’s worth staying #I spend all day thinking abt my old job and how much better it was in every way #and I want to go back but they made a big deal abt me leaving #and it would feel really awkward to go back would it be too awkward #honestly I should just bite the bullet #I could get past the awkwardness and return to a job I like and am comfortable at #and know id make enough money at :|#like gen how weird would it be to go back after they wrote me a farewell card and bought me cookies —#kestrel calls #chitter chatter #text post #PLUS #new job scheduled me one shift next week ???#what the helllllllll #I’m not staying there I’m not I’m looking elsewhere

Ugh the worst thing about buying something is the instant regret you feel from choosing to get something you need and require instead of hoarding your money for the ever-impending imaginary emergency

#syd says #hate spending money on big purchases even if it's absolutely necessary #for any that dont know got a new (used) car because my current one is gonna go out probably any day and leaks fumes into the cab #buyers remorse but it happens no matter what #been in panic-finance 'I'm the household emergency fund' mode for so long #but hopefully will get ahold of a job soon #dunno what but will have to no matter what I settle on

I would spend 50k dollars on a 3 minute animation. I value artists' time and skill.

I respect the dude. Really.

#people so mean to him. sad emoji.#i am definitely on the small section of people who are soo not normal and i would infact use my big money to comission something stupid #if it meant that i could see my beloved in a thing. that people worked to make.#I'm shaking this guy's hand. get that 3 min animation man.#idk how his loving for charlie is but that really doesnt matter. he cares about her enough that he did this for her. i respect that.#if i were him I'd commision another pic with me and my beloved saying 'i'm spending my time loving my darling' bottom text #'you're wasting your time hating on my own decisions'#or smthn like that #and just have me and belvoed holding each other. moking wink or smthn.#ah rambling

apparently ppl on genshin reddit confessed to botting for player's pick at the game awards this year which is like, so funny/sad for Anime Gambling Simulator 2020 to win by virtue of people hoping they get a prize from the game if it wins

realizing this might ruffle a few feathers for any genshin fans following me but i have no love for gacha, i feel like the culture surrounding this game is worrying to say the least

EDIT:

wait it's not a 2022 game it shouldnt even be there

#sam crying #i hear it's kind of fun but really i see people on twitter talk about it with such toxic fervor that i literally think im looking at #teenagers with gambling addictions disguised by anime boys #i think you CAN play gacha games responsibly but the setup of the games themselves is inherently meant to prey on ppl spending big money #without limits...#probably delete later bc i dont want anon hate lmao but yeah idk....#also if your game is any good you shouldnt have to rely on bots to win lmao

Obviously Top Surgery is a big deal for me for many reasons, but I cannot tell you how overjoyed I am at the prospect of never buying a bra again

#surgery #I hate buying bras so much #I only ever own two at a time #because I can't stand spending money on them #but they're also the only way to mitigate my dysphoria at all #because I'm too big to bind #but not for long!#still fundraising for this btw #if anyone's got a spare quid or two

Well glad to know I'm not the only one not feeling the Christmas season this year. Mom isnt either

Now we dont know why, but here are my guesses. Feel free to place your bets.

Is it:

Bc our aunt/great-aunt died and essentially dissolved the family

|_> Bc of this we've faced so much bullshit from the surviving family we have left.

Bc the only remaining family we have are major assholes aside from like 4 people.

Long covid?

Work stress/ working under a tyrant piece of shit.

Bc I'm an adult now so the *magic* is gone?

All of the above??

#marquilla #we still havent made cookies and are like i want the cookies but i dont want to make the cookies...#so we agreed we can do it after christmas if need be #i really think it's all of that combined. like my g-aunt dying really tore this family apart. we weren't like close close before but i mean #everyone started taking sides (the executors (my mom) vs my cousins. like listen you motherfuckers she left you [insert number bc i also #got this amount and am not disclosing]. you little freaks need to get over the fact that she loved me as much as if not more than you.#maybe bc i wasn't a fucking entitled brat and was always a polite well behaved child (for her) and didnt take my mommy/daddy issues out on #her. you already got: 2 free cars. 3 fully paid for weddings. 4 college degrees (one that you're not even using bc you havent worked since #college bc you became a tradwife. (not dissing stay at home moms im dissing her making college a BIG DEAL for her and then just #essentially saying haha thanks for the 100k in tuition but no ❤). COUNTLESS hours and money poured #into your lives from her and our g-uncle. amongst the 4 of you. (only 1 is not a brat but thats bc they pretend she doesnt exist bc shes #annoying and autistic so a drain on them they were ever so happy to dump on their dad)#you aren't entitled to any of that. that was a GIFT. your inheritance was well thought out. it is an insult for you to suggest otherwise #anyway so theyre being whiny brats and oh boo hoo you exects are SO MEAN to poor Ally who didnt sign the fucking will and thus held up #$50k FROM A CHURCH. and my uncle (not their dad. their moms brother) is taking their side. his wife is a massive piece of shit ab it too.#dont know whose side dog cousin is on bc shes close to my mom but very close to them. and i know lesbian cousin is on moms side to some #degree. and idgaf what Murderer cousin thinks bc that bitch can and will rot in hell.#so anyway any one we could possibly spend time with this season is either dead or hates us. or lives states away and won't be in til after #and only for a day anyway. and we just dont have the fucking energy to deal with anything
