#will I make one for shane?

[trans-pilled]

genuinely cannot imagine dickriding the watcher guys the way some of you have been. like they made a bad business decision! they alienated their audience! they made jokes about "eating the rich" and then one of their owners turned around and bought a tesla! they said they'd pull all their old content off youtube and then immediately backpedaled and started gaslighting the people who noticed it! they're just guys on the internet, they're not your friends and they are not anti-capitalists. they just want money and they don't care about their primarily young/international/non-wealthy audience.

for anyone who doesn't have the Return YouTube Dislike Plugin, here's how Watcher Entertainment's "Goodbye Youtube" video is doing right now

yeah... gonna throw out a yikes on that one

i suspect this number will only keep growing in the coming days/weeks, especially the longer and longer we go without any sort of response.

EDIT: its only been three hours and the number has already jumped to 206K dislikes.

sdv bachelors jealous you gave someone a gift

Alex

You hold out your hand, and the egg resting on your palm wobbles. “For you,” you say, offering it to Sam.

“Thanks.” Sam smiles. The sunlight dances across his opaline teeth and he covers your hand with his to collect the egg.

“What’s that for?” Alex stands beside you, his eyes teetering between you, the egg, and Sam.

 “It’s a gift,” you say. Alex gives you an incredulous look before caressing the back of your neck. A deep warmth sprouts inside you and overcomes your body.

“I like eggs,” Alex talks while pushing his fingers in your hair. “I’ll race you for it,” he tells Sam.

“Nah man, it’s cool—you can have it.” With a knowing glint in his eyes, Sam offers Alex the egg and Alex tucks it in his pocket. “I should go.”

 “I could have given you your own.” You swat his hand away from your head.

“Then I’d have two.”

“Why are you being a jerk?”

Alex stands in front of you and his shadow falls over you. He leans toward you, and you can smell the cedar of his cologne and mint on his breath. Your heart leaps in approval.

His bottom lip grazes your earlobe as he speaks, “Maybe I don’t like it when you give gifts to other guys.”

Sebastian

Elliott holds the pomegranate you gifted him at eye level.

“Is it from your own tree?” you can barely hear the question over the din of the saloon.

“Yes,” you say, and Elliott takes hold of your hand.

“You have quite the green thumb.” He glides his fingers over the back of your hand, and you feel a fire ignite in your chest and burst through your cheeks. “I’m so humbled to receive such a lovely gift.”

“Dude, calm down, it’s just a piece of fruit,” Sebastian says, offering you the drink in his hand by using it to push Elliott’s wrist away from you. You take the drink, and Elliott pulls his hand toward his chest and scowls as if he’s been pricked by a needle.

“I see, I need to take my leave but thank you for the beautiful gift.”

“You wound him,” you say, and turn to look at Sebastian, but your breath catches when you realize Sebastian’s face is close to yours. Your eyes dart from his lips to his eyes, and his breath fans across your cheek. The fire from before returns, roaring, and your body feels encased in the sweltering of your desires.

“The fruit, it doesn’t mean anything, right?” Sebastian presses his cheek against yours and speaks so only you can hear him. “It’s not like when you bring me frozen tears. Those mean something, don’t they?”

Sam

“What’s that?” Sam rides his skateboard next to you while his eyes point at the tinfoil covered plate you’re carrying.

“It’s for Alex,” you say. Sam pauses.

“Why are you cooking for him? Can’t his grandma make him whatever he wants?” Heavy lines push down on Sam’s forehead. He swallows hard.

“It’s a gift.” You stop walking and turn to him. The freckles on his cheeks are now masked behind a tinge of pink. “As a thank you for helping me out on the farm.”  

“I can do stuff for you.” He pushes his foot down on the lip of his skateboard then tucks it underneath his arm. “I mean—farm stuff.” His face is red. “You should call me to help you.”

“Are you, okay?” You move toward him and press your fingers against his cheek. “You’re burning up.” Sam leans into your touch, and the tip of his nose nearly grazes yours.

“I’m good.” His stare is intense, and the blue of his eyes are drowning him in a sea of longing. “I was thinking….” His voice tapers.

“About what?” You lay your palm flat against his warm cheek. The plate in your other hand rests between your bodies. Sam takes a deep breath.

“Do you have a crush on Alex or something?” His words are forced.

“No,” you say and stroke his cheek with your thumb. Sam closes his eyes and sighs. “But I’ve got to go.” You pull away from him and he frowns. “I’ll call you.”

“When?” Sam reaches for you when you walk away.

“Soon.”

Elliott

Sebastian thanks you again for the void egg and walks away. You smile and lean against the bar.

“Is it Sebastian’s birthday?” Elliott says from his spot on the stool next to you.

“No.” You face him, and he scoots to the edge of his seat to be closer to you.

“Perhaps a celebration of some kind?” You notice the purple dregs at the bottom of his wine glass.

“No.”

Elliott rises and stands in front of you; then, he places his hands on your waist and the warmth of his touch bleeds into your skin. You draw quicker breaths to appease the pace of your drumming heartbeat.

“Forgive me if you think it presumptuous, but why give Sebastian a gift at all?” The pinot noir on his breath smells like tart berries.

“I saw it and it made me think of him.” You shrug. Elliott pulls his hands away from you and lays his palms flat against his chest while he struggles to hide his disappointment.

“And of me?” His voice crestfallen. “Does anything remind you of me?” You take a step forward to lessen the distance between you.

“Lots of things remind me of you.” You smirk and Elliott returns the gesture with a playful grin.

“Like what?”

“Things we can’t discuss here,” you whisper in his ear.

“Then let’s find somewhere to discuss them.”

Harvey

A rare smile dawned on Shane’s face as he accepted the basket of hot peppers you gifted him.

When Shane scurries home, Harvey clears his throat.

“Did you have a surplus of peppers this year?”

“I just thought Shane would enjoy them.”

“Do you enjoy Shane’s company often?” Harvey’s mustache twitches. Your eyes widen.

“It’s nothing like that.”

“Well, I enjoy your company a great deal,” Harvey pauses and scrubs the side of his neck, “and I would like it if we could make things between us exclusive.”

Shane

You give Harvey a bottle of wine and his eyes gleam from beneath his lenses. His thanks are profuse.

“I can see why you’re into Harvey,” Shane says after Harvey has scuttled away. “He’s really got it together.” Shane speaks while twisting his tragically-blue joja cap between his fists. “I think you’ll be really happy with him.”  

“You can’t be serious,” you say.

“What? I think he’s a great guy.”

“I don’t like Harvey.”

“You don’t have to feel bad. I get it, he’s got it together, and I—”

“Stop planning my future with Harvey!”

“You really don’t have to—”

“Don’t you get it? I like you, you idiot.”

“I’m not the idiot, you’re the one who likes me.”

You both grin at each other and laugh.

i can make animated dividers now! (+1 divider making efficiency) :D

WWW NEWEST SEASON EPISODE 1 SPOILERS

[youkaiyume]

Alright, so I've been a fan of Shane, Ryan and even Steven since their buzzfeed days and I've been watching this whole thing with Watcher moving their content over to their own streaming service debacle.

Like most ppl, I think it's a poor business move to alienate your fans like this, but I've been thinking on it more from maybe a financial perspective. I'm wondering how many people actually signed up for it. I saw a tiktok advertising expert say that the conversion rate for ads--meaning the number of ppl to actually buy something when they see an ad is about 1-5%. Like, right now they have about 2.8 million subscribers. And even though they've lost about 50K since and counting, they probably anticipated some loss. I'm sure they've mathed that if they just get at least like 100K conservatively out of their nearly 3 million fanbase to sign up, they'd be able to make $600K a month from their streaming service at six bucks a pop each month.

Maybe that's worth it? I'm not exactly sure how much they were making before. Ppl say they had 11K subscribers on patreon before but that's just their member total. Actual paid members was about 5K. But despite the controversy, their patreon member count has actually gone up. Today it sits at 12K members total with nearly 6K members paying. So they're making at least $30K-70K+ a month currently on patreon based on their offered tiers. not sure how much they were making on ad revenue alone or sponsors cuz I'm not sure how that stuff works on youtube. But maybe by their own accounting they think the loss of followers was worth it if they can hang on to that small, loyal but paying minority.

Another youtuber has pointed out that if you have a sponsor for a video and it's a one off, it can pay more. Up to $35K. So if that is the peak and they release 1 video a week, so 4 a month would be like 140K a month on sponsor money. And youtube pays about $10 per 1000 views a video, and they average 1 mil each video. So about $40K a month on views. So we can guess that they made about $180K a month currently on youtube (patreon and merch sales not included).

Honestly, if they can reach the goal of 1-5% of their subscribers converting to their streaming platform, yeah they probably would make more money in the long run. IF they can somehow manage to retain as well as grow those number of subscribers on their new platform. And don't forget, they don't plan to delete their current videos on their youtube channel so they'll still be earning revenue from those videos. We'll have to see I guess given how much goodwill they've lost with their audience.

Tbh, I am all for them trying to get paid more for their work but I also think they could have transitioned much differently, like only putting some exclusive content on their own platform while also posting free shows to youtube. Or maybe delaying releases for a week or a month for youtubers. or cutting back your production costs if it's really killing you cuz everyone has pointed out they liked the ghoul boys when it was just a black screen with text scrolling by saying "wheeze." Only time will tell if this move paid off for them.

But I'm not super knowledgeable on how the entire youtube thing works so if someone has some insight, feel free to weigh in.

BAND OF BROTHERS | CURRAHEE

Doc Roe in the background of scenes (pt. 1/26)

[ryllen]

Elliott thought it would be a good idea to bring variation to single men’s food life. So he established this club, where they would all trade food they cook. Maybe once a week.

How nice it is if it brings positive things to their life. Like encouraging them to cook new dishes, enhance their recipe with tips & tricks from each other, having something to look forward to, & having reason to do a lot more socialization.

It might start as a club for older single men, which includes Clint, yes Elliot would encourage him to join -- even the older folks if they want to.

But who knows Kent might be interested to join to, to distracts him from the thoughts as this club seems like a good therapy for those who are a bit sad.

And maybe! Other married men too, even if they are happy! xD

some new shane dialogue when you have 4 hearts with him

I’m seeing a lot of mixed opinions on the new Watcher announcement so i just want to say that however you feel about it is justified! :) Your emotions are yours and you can feel them in whatever way comes to you! 💛

No matter your stance, it has been a very stressful day for all the Watcher fandom with a LOT of arguing and negativity so try to tell a Watcherina mutual you love them today! :) Send virtual hugs, send love, send messages! :) We are all just people at the end of the day dealing with a large fandom event like this one, and if you can make that stress better for anyone, that’s literally so awesome. Love y’all! :)

Thinking about the "you are my captain luffy, and im your first mate" line and uhh, remember when luffy first asked zoro to become a part of his crew? while untying the ropes, zoro said to luffy something along the line "you can untie me, but i'm still not gonna be part of your crew", and he was all like "i mean it!", and then later luffy also asked nami to join his crew, but of course she rejected him too.

Anyway, later (after teaming up with nami first then zoro second) luffy told morgan that they are a crew (just luffy being luffy), but zoro and nami of course refuted his statement. Not just once though, after defeating morgan and the other marines, nami and zoro pulled out the "not a crew" statement simultaneously after the "im sensing a little bit of tension amongst the crew" line from luffy.

So like i cant help but think about how zoro and nami technically kinda joined at the same time? And not just that, but nami's actually the first person that luffy teamed up with! And this got me thinking, zoro what makes you think that you are luffy's first mate? I get if animanga zoro wanted to call himself luffy's first mate, but opla zoro? Like anyway all im trying to say is that opla zoro is a self proclaimed first mate, i said what i said.

Also i'd like to add something from what i've read somewhere about first mate and:

"First mate is the vice captain and is not necessarily the first person to join. A first mate is appointed after a sizeable crew is formed and the captain picks the most suitable person to lead his crew in his absence."

AND REMEMBER THE "you just got here you don't know what luffy needs" line from zoro??? luffy said that he needed zoro. Zoro heard what he said. This man is just ready to commit for life. He picked himself as the first mate like a champ, as he should.

EDIT: after rewatching opla i just realised that nami used the first mate phrase not only once but twice (when talking to/abt zoro). But i still think that zoro is a self proclaimed first mate, cuz first mate should've been chosen by the captain and they (luffy & zoro) never really talked about it so i stand by what i said:D
