Hello, and welcome to 'Thoughts on the Try Guys streaming platform thing', by basically the only remaining try guys dedicated account on Tumblr (I think (Also ignore I haven't changed my pfp after the controversy))

So, as I've said before, I think the guys really managed this very well when you compare today's video with Watcher's announcement from a few weeks back. They seem to be using the new streaming service as a fancier Patreon that you can subscribe to if you like the content and want more of it, plus the exclusive vids or extra stuff, but it doesn't seem like it's meant to replace the channel and leave the people who can't afford it behind. They are offering a lot of new shows, many of which they teased on the youtube channel. The little pilots were used not only to give us a taste of what 2nd Try will be like but also introduced the new cast members! (I guess it's apropiate now to call Johnny Cakes, Kwesi, Marissa and rest as Try Guys too?). I'm so so happy to see them now as main talent; they helped carry the new era of the channel for the last year and a half and deserve the recognition.

Hooowever, I will say this.

I feel like the way they are handling this transition (and, let's be frank, the reaction from the audience) would not have been the same without the Watcher TV announcement and its fallout.

In case you don't know: Zach and Keith told us there would be a BIG announcement around this time of year way back in December. In early May (I think) watcher announced their own streaming service and literally everybody hated it. In mid-may, on a random Wednesday, the try guys channel just? don't post anything? and it seems like a very last minute decision to not post a video when they have posted videos every Wednesday for years? And now, a week later, they announce their own streaming service (with a video that references Watcher's announcement, so we know it was filmed after that was posted).

We can only guess, of course. Nothing is confirmed. But it really seems like they were going, if not the same, a very similar route that Watcher was. This is why I struggle to give them that much credit for offering a better deal that the Ghoul boys did, since I don't think they would've taken the same decisions a month ago. I want to think they are good guys who understand that most people can't afford to pay for this and they wouldn't put ALL their content behind a pay wall. But if you asked me a moth ago, I would have told you that Ryan and Shane were incapable of that too.

So I guess I'm not sure how to feel lol.

(Also I know many watcher fans are kinda mad that the try guys are getting a better response that Watcher did and also that Keith and Zach referenced the Watcher.tv vid because they think it was shady.

Calm down. They're literally friends. I bet they know what's okay to joke about and what isn't. I even bet they spoke about this in the last few weeks. Calm. Down)

just the fucking fact it takes like 20 minutes for chip and dale to give you the whole backstory up to the present and it’s with a voice over and they only tell you they don’t show you anything and sucks and then who framed roger rabbit shows you the whole story of Eddie and his brother in one silent pan over his empty desk and the pictures on it. maybe your spiritual successor sucks.

Re:watching madoka. HI. NO I HAVENT. I KEEP GETTING IT RECOMMENDED TO ME and I KNOW I'd love it but also it was pmmm or isat and (gestures) you know. Also I am. a little scared of what its going to do to me like, it feels exactly the type of thing Id like. But yes sometime soon, maybe,

THATS OK!! Take your time, I was mainly just shocked that you were able to not have been spoiled on accident given how it came out in 2011. If you ever do decide to watch it dont hesitate to dm me your live reactions/ thoughts on the characters etc! I like seeing new people get into formative media I liked as a kid/teenager. Thank you for the question and have a lovely day @kimdokjafan

That two-headed calf thing is sort of frustrating because I DO like anthropomorphism for the sake of art, as a way to describe an inherently human experience through an animal (which we inherently see as innocent and pure; especially re:watching animals die in movies and TV versus humans), but anthropomorphism - in a very broad and real sense - is a major issue. Euthanasia is often the right choice. Animals do not understand Why they are suffering, only That they are suffering. Our human conceptions of pain, ability, etc are not understood by two-headed calves. All that animal knows is pain and all that animal will ever know is pain. That poem is beautiful, but it anthropomorphises its subject in such a way as to speak to a human experience and does not reflect the actual experience of that animal. Or something like that

SLAMS TABLE ON THE FISTS You don’t hate the boringly obnoxious and overpowered fanmade character and beat it into submission, you accept the heartfelt effort and respect the naive yet sincere dedication the creator put into their creation, you give them the happy ending because the courage to accept the ugliness of their sinful existence is the same you must bring forth to come to terms with your own filthy past, you don’t achieve happiness by persistently denying your mistakes, you achieve it by striving to do better, to be better, it’s not about reason it’s about the HEART

WILLY WONKA: But, Charlie: don't forget the tale of the man who got everything he wanted. CHARLIE BUCKET: What happened? WILLY WONKA: He lived happily ever after.

[youeverdreaming]

can we just...see what happens before we start being negative and complaining please

(edit: also this is not directed at all of you I’ve seen enough people be rude/unkind that I got upset but some of you are being respectful and informative without being mean and for that I thank you)

i’ve been watching and rewatching and re:watching idolish7....i love re:vale’s story so much........

[atomicblasphemy]

I’m re:watching re:zero for the third time. (re:re:re:re:zero, but i also read the webnovel up to half arc 6 so its really re:re:re:re:re:zero. Anyway, getting off track here.)

I’m starting to realize something very important and I cannot believe it has escaped me up until now: there is no heterosexual explanation for Barusu and Reinhard’s relationship. I mean, seriously. Like, okay Reinhard is an aight guy, sure. His kidnapping of Felt and how he didn’t even consider giving Rom a heads up that “hey, you know your granddaughter? yeah, I’m gonna yeet her head first into this whole geopolitical stand off. That cool with you?” is more than a bit insane but overall this seems to be mostly atoned for and all.

But how he just goes ridiculously out of his way for our boy Barusu pretty much unprompted from day one, how he gleefully overlooks all the crazy shit Barusu pulls off (I mean, seriously, can you just imagine how batshit crazy our boy must sound to the entirety of Lugunica like half the time? Like, yo, this kid larping as captain Ahab over there, showing an uncanny understanding of all the different factions underhanded plots and masterfully traveling through all of them... isn’t that the same kid that made an ass of himself in front of this nation’s entire ruling class because he - allegedly - knows jack shit about our culture, customs, history, social structure and all that? That’s the guy leading us into battle? Oh, ok just wanted to clear that out.), how he gets that wee glint in his eyes whenever Barusu is near... Reinhard wants Barusu. As far as I’m concerned there’s no two ways about this.

So yeah, my point is Rem (the blue haired comatose one) has competition from more than just Emilia and I can’t believe I am only realizing that now. And I’m not even counting pretty much all the witches and the other candidates in the royal selection. (I am, however, very much NOT counting Petra).

Screentime Chuuya

Okay, small warning first: I logged in after a whole while here again and I was looking through my drafts and found this sweet piece and I can’t tell why I did this and how long this was waiting in my drafts but I guess it doesn’t hurt to publish that now! :D

- We all know Chuuya is just a side minor character in the main story of Bungou Stray Dogs and because I’m re:watching the Anime I noted down the Episodes where he appears because useless knowledge is important c:

S01E09 (Episode 09): 00:15:53 - 00:17:56 [meeting Dazai after 4 years] S01E10 (Episode 10): 00:01:47 - 00:08:22 [fight against Dazai] S01E12 (Episode 12): 00:21:25 - 00:22:10 [meeting with Mori]

So in the first half of the anime, he has a screentime of 10 minutes and 23 seconds c’: I’ve the feeling the less a character appears the more I love them :’)
