#I wonder if they’d just be like

[clambuoyance]

[DC] doodled these two a lot this week

#clam draws #dc #kon el #kontent #Conner kent #superboy #cassie sandsmark #wonder girl #this started bc I was thinking about how they have similar outfits and parallel journeys to like masculinity and femininity I think #and part of it is due to the differences in 2000s and 90s culture but also I think this is geoffs fault #like perhaps Cassie does get euphoria from presenting more femme but it’s written by men who just didn’t find her appealing before #and kon well he already lost the jacket and had designs changes before tt03 but there’s still a noticeable difference I think in the way #he presents himself demeanor wise after johns #and ofc johns meant none of this but I like a silly spider am crawling over it and just making my own narrative threads p #as in like oh they’re in a new stage in their life and they have to wrestle w their identities as one does #but like eventually find a new middle ground? #like yeah I can make a narrative #but if I haddd to choose what they’d do instead like if I were in charge of tt03 and told to make them fit 2000s culture I would have at lea #at least made them grunge or smth idk . #what am I even saying #dc clamics

As someone who has steadily kept up on almost all Watcher shows and side projects, this backlash really does come down to how out of touch the guys have become, even before making Friday’s announcement.

Ryan and Shane (certainly the biggest draw to the channel) got their start with lower-brow, boyish humor and riffing off each other. Can’t forget the capitalism-critical and “power to the underdog” attitude that resonated with so many fans early on either. Now though, if you watch/listen to Pod Watcher, it’s hard to overlook just how unrelatable they’ve become in recent years. Which is whatever—it’s not like we only consume media in order to intimately relate to hosts/characters—but it does mean they’ve lost something integral from the charm that netted them their initial success.

To add. If you watched their latest season of Too Many Spirits, they weren’t even funny, just trashed and off-putting, lol. Frat-style drinking by a backyard pool and Ryan overhand throwing bones at a neighbor’s dog for barking.

Maybe not as bad for Shane, but the egos have really grown uncomfortably outsized. And at some point I got tired of watching videos based around lavish over-indulgence. Even if Steven’s videos cost less to produce than Ghost Files (I assume), they clearly rub viewers the wrong way on principle alone.

All in all, and not to minimize their hard work in getting out the content that they do, I think the Watcher guys should’ve been much more careful in considering this move and its rollout.

For years, I’ve maintained a Patreon subscription to a separate and unrelated funny-guy trio (for the same monthly price Watcher Streaming is now asking). However. The group I subscribe to is more than situationally-funny-sometimes, and always come across as grounded, emotionally intelligent, and likable people. Which makes me want to see them succeed and help how I can (though I would still be able to access 95% of their content even without subscribing).

So yeah, idk. Steven Lim driving a Tesla and wanting a second one or whatever is kind of just the tip of the iceberg.

#watcher #⬆️ I think this is why people have felt as insulted as they have #I know there are some calling the level of backlash unfair. But………… #I was talking with someone and we almost even wondered if this was actually an exit plan. lmao. #like they know they can’t do it forever so they figure they’d do another couple years juicing their most loyal of fans #before bowing out with a comfortable amount 💰 put away (not to be pessimistic tinfoil hat gang. lololol) #Because it really does seem like poor decision-making #where business model would do very little to gain new viewers #and subscriber base would amount to small-small percentage of current fans #a number that will just dwindle over time #Youtube #I will also say I only sometimes watch Charlie’s stuff but I thought this was a pretty solid and informative summation

love looking at yanqing star rail. sir you are so fucking suspicious. why are you one of five playable characters who we don’t even know the original species of (ruan mei, yanqing, luocha, the trailblazer themself, march)

#like. r u xianzhou native human vidyadhara something else entirely. #considering the rest of the lineup u’d think they’d say. yknow if it wasn’t gonna be a plot point #honkai star rail #yanqing #thoughts #like yknow they could just say he’s a human/xianzhou n. who doesn’t know his parents & have the same mystery #qingzu i believe says that he’s secretly vidyadhara and that he portrays himself as xianzhou native? #which the rest of the story is a lie. but considering the other stories #it kinda makes me wonder if the stories are partially true and partially false #ie jingliu is jing yuan’s former master. snowmoon exists. and ? yanqing is vidyadhara or he’s something else but portrays himself xianzhou #yknow. #it doesn’t have to be a mystery even w his backstory. so why is it?

i know the popular theory about why zhongli avoided neuvillette is to avoid conflict but how would he know like…this is the same neuvi that got duped by furina for 500 years and has never left fontaine like how would he know???

zhongli doesn’t have the gnosis anymore and i don’t think neuvi has met an adeptus before so like how would he know it’s the geo archon and not some powerful adepti walking around???

like maybe zhongli still has divinity all over him but like this is zhongli the guy is a master manipulator surely he could’ve come up with a sweet excuse like HOW HE WOULD KNOW???

#i’m just saying zhongli duped his own followers like come on HOW WOULD HE KNOW #zhongli #genshin impact #and that aside #i wonder what made zhongli so hmm moody! #even with the fatui he was not this displeased #the only time i remember him being like this was his story quest when those guys broke the contract #does he not like sovereigns? #maybe he worries neuvi would fuck over his humansona l #i don’t think they’d fight physically #and if he already knows so much about furina and neuvi he must be aware of his disposition #hmmm i have more questions than answers #zhongli lore is so fucking hard to find i’m gonna cry #i was like maybe chenyu vale with have some lore #like it’s there but damn i need rex lapis facts 101

[digitaldreamsss]

i wish i was with him.

#blog.txt #objectum #posic #objectromantic #os/or #dec vt220 #i just dont know how to get the courage to talk about him #like to actually tell my family about my plans #im worried they’d say that its useless #because hes an older model and expensive #gah… yearning… yearning hard #i wonder if he thinks about me or being with someone #:(

I’m replaying act 1 (for the fifth time) and when Gale is explaining his condition to you he mentions he’s “never told another living soul” about it, except for Tara. You’re telling me this man shut himself up in his tower for an entire year and didn’t tell anyone why and no one ever bothered to find out? He has so few people who care about him in his life that he fell into a depression and disappeared for a year and NO ONE thought to go and check on him and find out what was wrong? He’s had no one but Tara providing help and support until he meets Tav???????

#I’m just #this is my Astarion run but holy shit GALE #like no wonder he’s a little bit insane #how isolated has he been his whole life that he has no one but his cat who cares enough to take care of him #the way he speaks about his mother I thought they’d be pretty close but even she never found out about the orb?? #either she shrugged off her brilliant son turning into a depressed recluse or she never bothered to check on him at all #and tbh Gale might not even realize that’s Not Ideal #maybe he’s always been held at a distance by his family #I have hcs about this actually #anyway that fucked me up this time #the way he begs tav for help finding items to feed the orb like he’s fully expecting to be shot down and left behind #ughhhhhhh I am Upset about the wizard again friends #bg3 #baldur’s gate 3 #gale of waterdeep #I didn’t even go into how Mystra also abandoned him at the same time #so he was going through a break up and a crisis of faith and being a human bomb all at once #🥲

Hi, I'm not looking for a post but I was wondering if there's any yuri that you know of that exists without a bunch of lust. What I mean is, it just has the cute and affection factors if that makes sense? Would "wholesome" be the right word? xD

Thank you for your help. ^_^

ah! i do love how ive basically also become the “yuri detective” haha

but yea i definitely get what you mean!! i’m only 5 volumes in (just got volumes 5-7 today as a valentines treat hehe) but the manga “Whisper Me A Love Song” doesn’t have any lust as far as i can remember!

it’s all pretty fluffy cute romance between Himari Kino and Yori Asanagi! i highly recommend it so far! (plus there’s an anime adaptation coming out in April so now is a great time to read it regardless!)

((also sorry if there’s nsfw stuff in the remaining two volumes, i’ll amend this with proper warnings if i learn there is!))

#also if anyone has an yuri they’d like to recommend me feel free to!!! #i’m down for pretty much anything so long as it’s yuri #i just need more girls love it’s so wonderful omg #yuri #whisper me a love song #himari kino #yori asanagi #ask #hellsite detective #not a post case #the detective responds

Their weapons btw

#AHDKAHS #if you’re wondering about Jennika I wanted to try think about how they would have been if they were made /for/ 87 #so Jenny’s usual claws might have been seen as too similar to Shredder which they wouldn’t want if they were making toys #think of the toys people! think of the stupid kids buying our toys!!! #so tonfa! plus I just think that’d be fun for heR #Venus gets a tessen because she’s had them before in the past and also #the p u n potential #they’d allow her to be silly and that’s the most important thing for an 87 weapon #she could like blow opponents away and all other types of visual gags AHA #and then yeah I don’t think I need to explain Lita you guys get it #87!Venus AU #87 to the max

Funny thought: imagine if the place the hotel was built on used to be where Alastor’s radio tower was.

Dude comes back after going MIA for 7 years only to find his home’s been demolished and there’s now a new tacky looking hotel built in its place. And then decides that he’s not moving somewhere else and sticks a radio tower onto the hotel and starts living there.

(Lucifer was the one who demolished the old abandoned radio tower to build hotel there, this is why Alastor has beef with him)

#hazbin hotel #alastor #alastor hazbin hotel #shitpost #head empty no theories only dumb AUs #I do wonder what happened to the place Alastor used to live in #after his 7 year absence #can’t imagine it’d be left alone #but also can’t imagine people would wanna mess with it #like some kinda creepy haunted abandoned house #they’d think it was cursed or something #and just not wanna touch it

Blue trying out headphones + a weighted blanket for the first time and getting the best sleep of their life but also waking up twelve hours later the most disoriented anyone’s ever been

#blue phantom #the blue phantom #ducktales #ducktales 2017 #dt17 #duckverse #wacky's art #mad ducktor #gyro gearloose #I think they’d also benefit from a good preening but that���s never gonna happen #The way I see it Mads is claustrophobic right #So blues the opposite in that they prefer smaller spaces because it makes them feel more secure #They don’t like being in the open #Even if its just a big living room they’ll stick to the sides (royalty blue has uh. certainly a Time living in a big castle) #So while a weighted blanket would do wonders for blue Mads would probably feel crushed and hate it

i don’t NEED art of gorgug’s bio parents however i do desperately want evidence to back up my claim that gorgug’s bio mom is hot

#making up traits for her like ​gorgug’s japanese bio mom roz who has a bunch of tattoos & is the person he gets his rage from my beloved ❤️ #fantasy high #dimension 20 #gorgug thistlespring #mulligan’s law: all moms that can be hot shall be #i do also think it’d be fun to give gorgug a weird fun like older cousin type relationship with his bio parents #again does not HAVE to happen but like. i think they’d sneak him into 21+ music venues for the experience but not let him drink alcohol. #& they make it a SUPER clear boundary bc he’s a teen & teens do dumb stuff but gorgug just takes videos of drummers the whole night. #taking mental notes like ‘oh that fill was cool.’ & he meets a sig figs fan who he’s shocked knows him and takes a pic with them #the fan: wait u aren’t 21 how are you in here- / gorgug: i- / gorgug’s bio parents: doesn’t matter. what matters is: are you a fucking narc? #gorgug u r the coolest kid ever i love u & ur bio parents just like ur parents would think u r so wonderful #also the bad kids call gorgug’s mom hot. bc they deserve it ❤️ #anyways ​3.5 hours until junior year let’s go!

ok i actually am kind of hype for panderverse.

#mattrey always knows what to say! was wondering when they’d handle racebending with that whole little mermaid thing lmao #i wonder what perspective they’ll take tho! like against it or against the people who are against it yk. but knowing them probably a mix #also people getting upset at this. may i remind once again it is SOUTH PARK. #they say the stuff other people are too scared to lmao #i heart trey he’s so real #panderverse #south park #but think about it!!! take characters who’ve been around for YEARS and completely altering their race just to be progressive instead of #making new characters and expecting everyone to be THRILLED about it like that’s so real.

the team gets news that keith is coming to visit the castle but they don’t tell lance for whatever reason (thinking lance would be upset or wouldn’t care or just forgetting to tell him) so when keith does show up right before dinner (which lance cooked), lance is in Shock but is also Very Very Happy and just gives keith his plate instead of shorting people on their servings so they all get to eat a full meal and lance uses the excuse on keith that he already ate and was full. somehow keith finds out that’s bs (maybe overhears pidge/hunk calling lance out in an empty kitchen or smth after dinner) and insists on lance eating but there’s little to no food in the castle ship (they have to go shopping, right? like there’s no way the food just appears??) so keith takes lance out to a little planet and buys him dinner and they just talk and catch up and laugh all night and it’s the happiest they’ve been in months which they stay up later that night thinking about

#voltron #vld #klance #lance mcclain #keith kogane #like i can just see keith walking into the kitchen and lance turning around and freezing in shock #before flinging himself at keith and hugging the life out of him #lance spends the entire dinner at the castle just staring at keith #then on the lil planet lance spends the whole time talking to keith just one on one #without the rest of the team there #they’re both silently wondering if it’s a date or not #but there’s no way they’d ask one another that #head canon #headcanon #hc #fanfic #fanfiction #after dinner on the planet they stay out for a bit longer and get caught in the rain #when they get back to the castle it is LATE and they are SOAKED #but it’s ok bc they’re in love #and So So So Happy
