#This is the watchers fault

[cheeseschess]

Scar being surrounded by love after SL is over. They’re stuck indefinitely in Limbo, unsure why. Normally, the winner shows up, and everyone wakes up home. Not this time. A snow storm comes in, and Grian makes a joke of ‘formally inviting’ everyone to a fortified community house to wait it out together. It’s big with accommodations for everyone. Everyone shows up bringing blankets and food. Scar gets extra love in all of this. Everyone’s safe, there, and happy. Except for one person. A pink-haired woman who’s still sitting in her house. Who’s been keeping to herself so much she didn’t hear talk of the storm. Whose house is in the middle of the woods. Who didn’t get an invite. Who’s curled up in thin, tattered blankets, shivering by a dying fire. A pink-haired lady who’s blocked in by snow and fallen trees. Lizzie, who just wants to see her friends again. Lizzie, who wants to joke around with Grian. Lizzie, who wants to gossip with BigB and Pearl. Lizzie, who wants to talk shit with Cleo. Lizzie, who wants to talk redstone with Mumbo. Lizzie, who wants to talk builds with Joel. Who wants to eat Jimmy and Tango’s cooking that warms your bones. Who wants to curl up around Gem, and the Scott’s as they talk music. Who wants to wrap up in one of Bdubs many fluffy blankets as Etho denies anything Joel related. Who wants to hear Skizz giving praises. Who wants to hear Martyn and Ren’s theatrics. Lizzie, who wants everything Scar has right now. But she’s stuck in her house, alone, curled up by a dying fire.

When this crashes and burns I don't wanna hear the defenders blaming the critics 💀 they could've improved the patron, sold better merch, sold dvd copies of their shows, downsized, literally anything besides alienate a majority of their fanbase

#watcher #maybe steven should sell his tesla #and realise people go to watcher for shane and Ryan not him #not to say those two arent at fault too but stevens responses to the outrage proves that this was def his idea and hes so tonedeaf #shane madej #ryan bergara #watcher entertainment #steven lim

#shane madej #ryan bergara #mystery files #mystery files bloopers #watcher #mygifs #sorry for being so invested in their friendship as if it's my fault

[shaniacsboogara]

of course you're all trying to see his ass

#ghoul boys this is all your fault #watcher #shane madej #ryan bergara #bfu #all hail the watcher #shane and ryan #watcher entertainment #ghost files #mothman

I love how most of the fandom draws (character) Grian as this watcher cult member with wings and a ton of creepy eyes, while real life Grian is literally just:

#it’s not his fault he’s British #funny #meme #funny meme #third life #last life #double life #limited life #hermitcraft #grian #hermitcraft grian #irl grian #watcher grian #trafficblr

As a casual fan of Watcher content, I have to say that your fandom is nuts.

An apology and everyone’s like “oh! I do have $6 to give you. Poor babies 🥺”

They are grown ass men who made a stupid decision for their business. This is basic PR and the response from the fans after the ‘apology’ is why they wanted to exploit you.

#being parasocial to a degree is inevitable #but if you’re so easily swoon #you should definitely take a look in the mirror #cause that dependence is why people feel comfortable to exploit you #they might not be millionaires from YT #but it’s crazy that wanted to paywall everything #watcher #like the TG drama was nothing cause they acted swiftly and none of the remaining 3 were at fault #these three were at fault

This whole debacle makes me think of ao3. It’s a free website (of course it’s by fans for fans and not a business) that is so good that when they ask for donations the exceed their goal every single time, they even have merch and people still just give them money because they love the site. Quality free content and profit are not exclusive from each other. If your consumers are happy you will make money no matter the price of your product.

I understand production costs and all that, but I feel like they have been making bad business decisions for a while. The distribution of viewers per video is very uneven and not all of their content popular. I can’t justify paying for a streaming service if I’m not sure of the quality and amount of content I’m going to have access to. Sure, I love puppet history and I guess I enjoy mystery files, but would I pay only for those two? No way. I don’t subscribe to HBO just to watch Rick and Morty, sure it helps that it’s in there, but I also like the DC animated series, and I could watch game of thrones I guess, and the nanny, and the Barbie movie, and Harry Potter. And a lot of shows and movies with different actors and directors and production companies.

And the people comparing this to Dropout don’t get that they have a lot of content that makes the subscription not feel like a waste of money.

Artist should get paid and be allowed to art in peace, but you can’t ask casual viewers to pay for your airplane tickets, your Tesla, your cameras, your new background and your A grade wagyu gold covered stake in china when not even your more loyal fans watch all of your content. It feels greedy and out of touch with American economy right now, but also with your international fans who can’t pay because of region restrictions or because 6 dollars in other countries is not a reasonable price for anything.

I hope they grow and that their creative dreams come true, but I feel like it will be incredibly difficult to accomplish that after the way they went about it (abruptly and with no kind of preparation) and the response they got.

#watcher #watcher entertainment #watcher tv #people saying they are a company that has to pay their employees I agree with you #but you can’t expect me to pay for something I don’t want to or can’t afford because I feel bad for them #also if a company does bad business decisions it’s their own fault and unfortunately thats capitalism #capitalism is fucked #sending best wishes to the watcher staff right now #hope everyone will come out of this okay

"I'm sorry, my love..."

Everyone had a rough time getting through the Survivor Trial on Kazuwari, but Aloth's hands getting crushed by a boulder hit Sabina particularly hard, seeing as he's a wizard and he kinda needs those :(

#by the time SSS is over I think Sabina wonders if it was even worth it to put her crew through the hazardous island #also 100% believe she's the type of person to focus on the injuries of the ones she loves and completely ignore her own #(even if her's are worse) #it's not really her fault but she feels like it is anyway y'know? #also for a little context Sabina is speaking in vailian bc she's from Old Vailia~ #pillars of eternity #pillars of eternity deadfire #poe #poe2 #poe: deadfire #watcher of caed nua #pillars of eternity watcher #watcher sabina lancaster #aloth corfiser #aloth/watcher #watcher/aloth #aloth x watcher #my art #sun-marie art #digital art #fan art #fanart #digital illustaration #artists on tumblr #small artist

Hey Scar, try seeing if a /gift works for anyone. I’d ask Scott to try and give a heart, but with the whole being dead thing he might not have any to give. Since the heart you give isn’t from your own health, I’m curious to see how it’ll work.

Scar: Oh! Let's gift Grian! I feel like he really needs it!

*Grian has left the g̸̣̦̺̞̳̖͔̫͓͙̙̎̑̍́̏̐̄́́̆̆̕â̴̲̱̆̓́́̑̅̑̓͘m̸̛̛̗̻͍͍̯͐̅̾̌́̔́̐̎̑̕͘͝ȩ̴̟̳̞͎͉̑̑̇̃͑͂̋͗̃̕͘̕͝͝*

Scar: huhhhhh what happened? Why did-

Scar:... Did... Did I just...

#asks #trafficblr #traffic series #goodtimeswithscar #Aaaaaaaaaah #Why why why this is a disaster the Watchers are going to #👁️You called Scar? #Oh! Hi! Uhhhhh do you know what- #👁️We know what happened #Oh! That's uhhhhh... How do we fix it? Why was the /gift still working? #👁️ It's Grian own fault he reactivated it when he fixed the glitch #So... How do we fix this #👁️We have important buisness to attend to... You'll need to send someone you can trust to pick up Grian #I... I know just the guy...

I had a dream where the Watcher made another announcement saying that Steven was leaving the company bc he's too expensive to keep and they had to cut some expenses 😭 the fans were speculating that it was actually bc he couldn't bear the hate and harassment he'd been receiving which is kind of sad

#I'm not a steven apologist but lets be fr hes not the only one at fault here #watcher #watcher entertainment #shane madej #ryan bergara #steven lim

[chronic-solitarian]

i hope that the people who cosplayed as mothman and the professer know that they’re sick as hell

#watcher #watcher entertainment #ryan bergara #shane madej #ryan and shane #shane and ryan #steven lim #ghost files #ghost files live #sick in a good way i swear #sorry for the odd word choices i’m from california #it’s not my fault #mystery files #raine.watcher

Any ship w jiang cheng that ends happily I will immediately enjoy bc I identify so.closely with him

My special guy

#jiang cheng #i also see a bunch of thoughts on how hes JUST a bitter man that complains #like yes #he is #but hes also so much more than that #as someone who has consumed all but the og novel #i dont think certain aspects align with a “bitter #complaining man who was born privelaged“ #and the people that like jc were implied to not understand media literacy #every character in the series had severe faults #as someone who consumed all of the different media pieces but the og novel #so maybe im biased #the story has a LOT of unreliable narrators #and we only see from a watchers pov #we dont hear every person's thoughts consistently #i just hate seeing JC reduced to angry man #you dont keep a servants weapon just because #especially if you didnt care about him even a little bit #you dont risk your life for someone you dont care about #no matter how twisted that care mat be

i dont really know im still thinking about it, but the way jimmy broke the curse, at like the expense of everyone else. Sure he didnt die first, but thats because he killed lizzie last session. He escaped the curse by pushing someone else into the sword. He didnt die first but he brought two others down with him, and its decidedly his fault.

Its just, he finally broke out of his cage, he flew out of the mine, but in doing so he left everyone else down there to die. He had a job to do, a role to play, but no. I just hope the minute of fresh air was worth it.

#sparrow speaks #JIMYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY #hes literally my number one enemy for dying so soon #i had hopes for him..... #secret life #secret life smp #secret life spoilers #hmm this is how i see it anywys #its like all his fault #i mean obciously its the watchers fault really #but still #i think it was ethos warden that killed him which is interesting #ranchers revenge or somthing

The theme for this episode: we live in a beautiful place full of eccentricities. Explore the world, cherish your relationships, and celebrate the small things that make us smile. Even when it ends, there's still something good to remember.
