u kno i really enjoyed watching hfjone with my friends and they loved it too but part of me is just a little sad they didnt get to watch the early first season with the added context of having grown up on object shows. like. obviously i made them watch bfdi first so they’d understand the point of it being a subversion but, like. having watched so many of these silly little competition shows as a kid it really adds to the Discomfort of those early episodes. like all the pieces of the competitions youve always known are there but it feels Wrong. its just a little sad they didnt get to experience that part like i did lol

#im sure someone more articulated could word this thought better than me but eh im just thinking out loud #the osc in terms of creatives is certainly very different now than when i was a kid #i used to go out of my way to seek out new shows constantly and i dont think i Ever encountered a non-competition show #im sure they were out there! but they were not talked about #honestly i almost never heard about shows other than bfdi and ii. and that was back when i was like actually active in the community #its really cool to see so many shows getting their fair share of love now #and its also cool to see more shows branch out in terms of genre. like hfjone! #love of the s*n is really catching my attention im really looking forward to seeing more of that one #and although happy star's saga was cut short for obviously understandable reasons #i think the HSGtOS shorts themselves are still really good and hold up on their own #does help hotline count? it counts if you look at pence. um. i also really like help hotline #anyway im kinda just rambling about a completely different point in the tags dont mind me #just thinkiing thinky thoughts #anyway im picky and burner is probably the only new-age competition show im really interested in #but my point still stands is cool to see the community as a whole branch out more even if im not really involved in it lol #bri talks #bestietag
