idk how to characterize bigshot spamton bc i feel like it entirely depends on how long his era of fame lasted & at what point in that timeline hes in depending on the length These are personal ramblings Btw
based on his current behavior i would say its definitely not too farfetched for the fame to go to his head & for him to start acting like a stereotypical self absorbed entitled celebrity. at the same time, going from a little nobody who could barely do his job to what very well couldve been an overnight sensation cant be easy to adjust to right away & he probably had some culture shock
i can also imagine his early days were exceptionally stressful with suddenly being booked for tons of advertisements, publicity events, sponsorships, & so on. i can almost see him being exhausted after the first few weeks, catching himself thinking maybe being a big shot isnt quite the easy life he thought itd be, maybe he even starts to regret it before convincing himself no, this is what hes been working toward all this time, he just has to power thru. he earned this, didnt he?
he sounds like hes always been somewhat confident & self assured based on how the addisons talked abt him "running his mouth" but i dont think he wouldve turned into that arrogant celebrity stereotype too quickly. he wouldve had to have been famous for Years to rlly settle into that kind of personality & im not sure of the generally agreed upon timeline, but part of me thinks he wasnt a big shot for very long at all
thematically itd make sense if his moment in the spotlight was shortlived, less than like 3 years or so, due to the nature of internet trends always coming & going. the next big thing everyones talking abt is forgotten shortly after, & then theres another new thing for everyone to look at, & so on. spamton apparently lost his fame as suddenly as he gained it so itd make more sense to me if his bigshot era was overall pretty short. while a few years is certainly enough time for a person to change, in a scenario like this youre likely to stay true to your roots for a while even if you have to put on a persona for the public. humble beginnings & such
my point is. you dont suddenly become famous without needing time to adjust. you dont become a huge jerk unless youve had plenty of time to let fame get to your head & get comfortable with the idea your success isnt going anywhere anytime soon. both of these bigshot spamton interpretations coexist in my head bc im dumby & idk the timeline so its like shrodingers bigshot spamton

hello, it's me, back on my soapbox, reminding you to get every piece of media you can in a physical form.
what do I mean by this? I mean buying CDs, DVDs, box sets, physical books, and whatever other things I'm missing here. You cannot rely on streaming or online copies of things, you just can't.
and yes, I understand you may not be able to afford something - physical media is expensive and I'm not asking you to break the bank!
I am asking you, however, to do what you can - you can burn your own CDs or DVDs, you can get a library card or visit used book stores. You can download music and movies and books onto a physical USB drive so it's can't be deleted by anyone but you! It's so important that you realize that you do not actually own anything you stream or access exclusively online. you are paying for a license to borrow that stuff, not actually own and use it again and again.
and if you can afford to buy things, you should! especially if the work comes from a smaller group or artist - they get paid more for those purchases than they do by streaming groups.
you do not own anything you "buy" online - and if you can't buy it (either financially or because the corporation behind it has refused to sell it), then pirate it.

Sorry for making a deep dish mess in your inbox. I hope you have a nice fun week and feel less tired by the weekend. You're pretty awesome.
unless you sent like ten asks about punk the other night, it wasn't just you, but thank you all the same. 💜
but full disclosure, it is exhausting to get asks on a subject i simply don't engage with. even a hey, did you know can be exhausting when it comes out of nowhere about something im not actively talking about.
i love to info dump and talk about things, and i love when people want to info dump at me. but there has to be some level of "hey, you got the brain space?" because ive been pretty open that, right now, i really, really don't. depression is kicking my ass and im hurtling toward burnout, to the point where im barely engaging with the wrestling i do watch, let alone paying any mind to what i don't.
i love you all, and im very happy that anyone ever wants to talk to me about literally anything, but please can we start just like. asking if it's a good time, please? like, as a community? just a simple, hey, can i tell you about would be appreciated, especially when it's not part of a conversation that im already actively having or posting about.
sorry if this was wildly cunty, it's early and i haven't put on my human filter yet and i didn't mean for it to be

Started to realise that where you were born doesn't make it home. Started to realise that I really don't want to live in this place and never come back. Started to realise I don't care who I'll leave behind and who will miss me. Started to realise I want to be selfish and stop listening to others. Started to realise this post was a waste of time
:p
