I’m new here and was tired of being confused by the #dbag posts so I went through the tag on your blog to learn the lore. Which means I also watched that YouTube video you made. And wow??? People are really saying anything to you, huh? I think the asks made me feel worse than the fic. Weirdly the fic combined with your reading of it might have freed me from my writer’s block. So thank you? Might go write some (non-RPF) fic after this lol. Also weirdly, this video made me realize that for the 2 weeks I’ve been following you/aware of your existence I’ve also been assuming you were British. No idea why, but it’s the kind of thing I’d want to know so I’m telling you.

At the end of this whole saga I have 2 questions:

What are those thoughts on Sound of Metal? I watched it a few years ago but I was with other people and distracted, plus I don’t have much knowledge of either of the cultures on display in the movie so my take away was mostly just that Ahmed’s performance was excellent. It’s on my list for a rewatch but would love to hear your thoughts first!

Any tips on purging and/or fine-tuning one’s YouTube algorithm? I hate how recommended videos have worked for the past few years. I go down random rabbit holes all the time and am just haunted by those videos forevermore. Can’t a girl have a highly specific special interest for 2 days and then never want to see another video about it again? Damn.

In closing, thank you for your comprehensive tagging. Much appreciated (pretend the salute emoji is here. I refuse to give up more desktop storage space to yet another system update so I don’t have it 😔)

hello. welcome to my blog where people just say things to me. i've decided to just embrace dylan youtube as my baby daddy who owes me a bunch of backpay in child support and who is moderately good at what he does. it's much easier than being uncomfortable about it.

i'm very excited about your freedom from the writer's block shackles. what are you going to write?

i absolutely want to know when people think i'm british. do i have britishisms?

i have two answers for you:

1. i think you already found my thoughts on sound of metal but incase i'm mistaken this is them. riz ahmed was amazing though, like the best/most natural signing i've seen from an actor who learned for a role. 2. i have zero tips. my search and watch history are both turned off and i'm not really a youtube girlie anyway (probably why i had no idea who dylan youtube was). but honestly i'm not sure there is anything you can do to fine tune an algorithm anymore unfortunately :/

in closing, thank you for making use of all my tagging. it's been an honor to be not-actually-british with you.
