I checked some of the blogs of the people with the most idiotic posts and many were teenagers. Not to excuse them, but at that age emotions are high and things are very black and white. As a teen, if a celebrity you like makes a (stupid) decision that you don't agree with, then they are a "monster" or a "villain" and some people take that as a way to excuse their own reprehensible actions.

nah i'm actually so pissed off about this watcher thing. i wasn't going to pay for it and i was disappointed but the way people have spoken about steven is disgusting!! harassing sara!! being happy about their downfall and claiming they hated everything watcher was putting out anyway. why are people behaving like that?! it's not okay!!

#I also thought the decision was dumb and moved on but I'm an adult with other things to care about #as a kid everything is the end of the world #wouldn't ever want to go back to that emotional state

If you feel "betrayed" by celebrities that you "trusted", then I implore you to recognize when you have a parasocial relationship. You do not know those people. They are not your friends. They have no idea you exist. That doesn't make them monsters, it's just the truth.

If you don't want to support Watcher anymore, even after their walk back, then don't. Unsubscribe and move on. Criticizing their (stupid) subscription announcement is completely fine. But, if you were heartbroken by their announcement, then it might be time to step away from Watcher and remind yourself that they are there to entertain you, that's all.

#watcher #I saw the video Friday thought it was a dumb decision and that I didn't want to pay $6 #the YouTube comments were pretty normal #the Tumblr posts are something else #Holy shit #please don't put all of your emotional eggs in one YouTube channel basket

It's fair to criticize the Watcher decision, but a $100 bag is not even close to being considered a luxury product. I've seen a lot of young (high school/college aged) people on here calling things "luxury" without understanding just how expensive decent products are.

funniest part of the watcher debacle to me is sara rubin (shane madejs wife) reblogging the announcement and being like "guys :(( you dont understand how hard it is to make a living as a youtuber :(((("

and her MOST RECENT POST BEFORE THAT is her saying "omg i love this bag!!! i got it for my honeymoon :D" and its a ONE HUNDRED DOLLAR TOTE BAG FOR HER LAPTOP

this is a LUXURY PRODUCT. but nooo they couldnt afford the production costs with their 60,000 a month from patreon

#I had a $20 laptop case in college #I fell down some stairs (with the laptop in the case) and the side of the laptop cracked open #it didn't work well after that #but I still had to use it #if I got a better padded case then maybe I wouldn't have broken my laptop

Let's raise our glasses to Izzy and OFMD creators

I just have to get it off my chest, I understand Izzy's death came as a shock and very upsetting event for many, and a lot of people are going on and on about how he deserved a better fate and how he was not just some tool to serve someone else's story. Please try to calm down and see the bigger picture. 

It is now clear that he was always meant to die. It was foreshadowed in the first minute of the second season, a ridiculous, villain's death. Being the symbolic obstacle to Stede and Ed's happiness. 

Of course that was the wrong way for him to go. When he confessed to his crush Blackbeard he got shot by him, almost died, begged to be killed, and then he even tried to kill himself. Still didn't work. It wasn’t his time yet and that was the wrong way for him to go. When he learned that he was loved and cared for after all, just not in the way he expected, he changed. He became positive, he became forgiving. Then he stopped being miserable he started genuinely wishing for the happiness of others as well, instead of being bitter about it. His death might not have a point but his life did. He had the crew's and Ed's and even Stede's back, and they knew it. As David Jenkins stated, he played the role of a wise mentor that was passing along his life experiences to others. Then it was his time. Also, as foreshadowed, he symbolically took away Blackbeard, and opened a way for Stede and Ed as well.

A happy ending is not only walking off to sunset with a lover, taking up a new job or walking into a house of your family and petting your dog before you close the door. A good death, and a life well-lived is a happy ending. Leaving behind people that loved you is a happy ending. This was a happy ending for him. 

He lived the way he wanted, as a pirate, an infamous one that has received respect and recognition. Then he resolved the parts of his life that became problematic and toxic, he repaired the relationships

that was broken, he forgave the people he needed to forgive. After going through hell, he was basically a bubble of positivity, going around giving solid advices, encouraging people and partying. He was done. He gave the best damn speech of his life at a bar like giving his own eulogy and it was awesome. He died at the arms of the person he loved the most. 

Yes he could have had more, everyone that ever died could have had more. But he died gracefully and complete, surrounded by people he loved and cared about, knowing that they will be fine. That was his story. I am sad that he died, but he died beautifully, best you can hope for in a pirate life. And he will live on, in the hearts of the people he touched by his existence. 

Finally, never harass the creators. It is their hard work that gave us Izzy in the first place. Trust their creative process, and afterwards take it or leave it, do not harass them and try to put them in a box of your personal demands. If so, what kind of 3rd season can we even expect?

Me shaking tumblr zoomers: The Legend of Korra came out before gay marriage was legalized in the US. Korrasami's relationship was unapologetically censored throughout the show but still managed to pave the way for future queer relationships that have allowed shows like The Owl House to exist.
