Been getting a lot of asks assuming that I work for Hoyoverse lately, so I thought it would be a good time to post the reminder! I'm not upset, I just don't want to cause any disappointment (or shock anyone when I swear or say something gay lol).
Not really a vent, but right now feels like a good time to bring up that "Art is Dead" by Bo Burnham, a song which Wilbur once went on record saying he did not like and calling "pretentious" on Twitter, contains lines such as:
"Have you ever been to a birthday party for children / And one of the children won't stop screaming / Cuz he's just a little attention attractor / When he grows up to be a comic or actor / He'll be rewarded for never maturing / For never understanding or learning / That every day can't be about him / There’s other people, you selfish asshole"
"My drug's attention / I am an addict / But I get paid to indulge in my habit / It's all an illusion"
"This show has got a budget / And all the poor people way more deserving of the money won't budge it / Cuz I wanted my name in lights"
"I am an artist / Please, God, forgive me / I am an artist / Please don't revere me / I am an artist / Please don't respect me / I am an artist / Feel free to correct me / A self-centered artist / Self-obsessed artist / I am an artist, I am an artist / But I'm just a kid / I'm just a kid / I'm just a kid, kid / And maybe I'll grow out of it"
...
No fucking wonder he didn't like the song. It might as well be about him for how directly it parallels his attitude and behaviour.
The difference is that Bo Burnham grew out of it, while Wilbur Soot grew into it.
I never knew he had said that, but it makes sense in this context.
Thank you for your question! In preparation for the release of George’s epic video that he has been working so hard on, the gnfupdate team decided to take a corporate retreat to Antarctica in the form of a religious pilgrimage following George’s path through the South Pole with his friends, wife, and Jimmy Beast. Over the course of this pilgrimage, we awoke one morning to find one of our tents ripped open from the inside with bare footprints leading outside and the admins who were staying within disappeared. We are currently engaged with the legal implications of this incident and are taking George’s brief streaming hiatus as an opportunity to recenter ourselves.
Due to the news of Technoblade's passing, I feel a need to remind our followers that it's okay to grieve. Even though we didn't know him, he impacted the whole community in a way that can never be erased. His legacy of good sportsmanship, positivity, and humor will echo throughout the MCYT sphere's future.
To support his efforts and the struggles of others also suffering from sarcoma cancer, his merch store will be donating proceeds to curesarcoma.org, where you can also make a direct donation.
Hypixel has a project to collect notes in their main lobby, which will then be compiled into a book and sent to Technoblade's family.
Due to the incredibly positive feedback towards the creation of this account and the number of people who indicated their interest in being a mod for it, I’ve decided to move forward with this project!
As such, here is the application form for becoming a mod on tumblr qsmp-updates! All applicants (given that they are able to be contacted) will be contacted within the following weeks as to whether or not they are being considered!
Please spread this as much as you can since this sort of blog will need as many mods as possible to fill in for all the streamers and languages on the server!
Hey, I’ve been seeing a lot of people very angry at Phil and planning to shun him or worse in the comments of that update and I just wanna say to please not take this out on Phil. Staff took drastic action, not Phil, and Philcult is chill with Phil. He wasn’t the one who did this, all he did was joke around on twitter about not having these urls. Not even asking for them directly. This is an issue with staff bending and breaking the rules for brownie points with a CC, not a CC demanding their url. And Phil was literally chatting with the person who was affected by this, I’m sure he already knows this kinda sucked and you guys don’t need to flood him with messages about it.
plsssss do you know if there's a blog like this on here but for honkai: star rail????? i never realized how much i rely on this blog to learn literally anything about what's happening in the future until i started honkai and kept getting jumpscared by shit happening. please. i cannot keep going on hoyolab that place is hell.
I know a friend of mine ran one for a while (you know who you are 🫵), but I'm not sure if it's active anymore. So if anyone wants to start another one, I'm sure there's a need for it!
hello mods how have you been recently given the circumstances 😭
Honestly we're doing fine. Wilbur and Lovejoy taking a long break after months of tours and promo and videos and everything else is a little holiday for us too.
Personally, I've gotten into building dollhouse models and playing overly complicated survival and resource management games.
Laurel is out there losing Valorant tournaments or something.
