#and that shouldn't be rare but it can be

[sergle]

(re: sssniperwolf and jacksfilms) It's laughable that she escalated it that hard. Don't get me wrong, I'm pretty sure stalking him like that is illegal and it's terrifying regardless, but Jack said in a stream (can't remember which one) that he wasn't about bringing up past controversies of hers or cancelling. And now she shows up outside his house (wtf!!!). Like he was willing to only call her out for stealing and freebooting but she's gone and stalked him and Jack doesn't seem like the type of guy to take that shit. Actual WTF moment from her part. wild

omg long post below bc apparently I have opinions: YES!! THAT'S WHAT'S SO INCREDIBLE ABOUT THIS... Jack has been genuinely diligent about keeping things on-topic in his streams, and hasn't brought up any of her other Stuff, or anything Personal. Despite the fact that she kickstarted the whole thing by making it INCREDIBLY personal and attacking his physical appearance... His goal has been to call out and bring attention to content theft, and he's stuck with it. Dude's also cared about this for years, and she's not the first content thief he's criticized. He just hates the way that freebooting has become so accepted-- to the point where youtube praised her for "coming up with such creative video ideas"? Hey! Ew! Dude wasn't trying to get her cancelled though, there was no smear campaign of her character. He's been rallying to get her to CREDIT the creators that she relies on for all of her content. It would set a precedent for all other "react" channels on the platform for one of the biggest channels on youtube to actually give credit where credit is due. Or, god forbid, get permission first? It's not hard. It's already done the job of making some other people who do "react content" self-analyze whether or not their content is transformative, and to maybe care about crediting the creators they rely on for their genre to work. There is a way to make this kind of video that isn't so slimy. And making fun of her lackluster-at-best reactions is so far from even being a big deal. Bc she literally does just sit there and say nothing. Plus, his goal has a clear End built into it: if she started shouting out the creators she takes content from, and put links directly to their pages in her video descriptions, the job would be done! That's what he's asking her to do. Real bare minimum stuff. It legit would have been easy to steer away from the content theft and to also talk about her history of lying to her audience! her ghosting a dying kid with cancer who was a big fan of hers! the fact that she's been arrested for armed robbery! her history of transphobia! He would also get more clicks that way, which is what she claims is his sole goal- to get more clicks. I'll bring it up though! She's been a terrible person the whole time, and has kept a steady course of manipulating her audience of young children and/or, let's be completely honest, simps- into thinking that she's a Wholesome creator. (And now, into thinking she's an innocent victim.) All of the actual effort put in by her has gone toward optics, not the content she puts out. A carefully constructed online persona, for one, but also literal appearances. Jack totally can't say this, bc she already went off the handle and said the only reason he doesn't like her is bc he Hates To See A Woman Be Successful. But I can! That was a cheap shot for her to use that argument when, for once, it's not applicable! Much the opposite, even! Dudes online wouldn't go to bat for her if she didn't look the way she does. And it weakens any case she'd have against him by making baseless claims like that. She banks hugely on being an attractive woman to get her clicks/following. A massive amount of effort is put into her appearance. The makeup, the lip fillers, putting her hair in little pigtails, the chokers and tube tops, the big non-prescription Nerd Glasses, the thumbnails where she has her mouth open in That Expression?

I don't even have to say anything. But making a weird facial expression and putting your hair in pigtails aren't moral failings. Showing up at someone's real life home (whose address you shouldn't even have access to), filming the front of their house at night, doxxing them to your audience of millions of people? Because you were mad at them online? That is fully scary! Yeah girl I'm pretty sure that Jack can press charges! There is absolutely no way to take the moral highground now that she's literally stalked him, and doxxed his home. She tried to goad him and Erin (Jack's wife) out of the house, also, which creeps me out even more-- because what was she planning to do? The fact that she's been arrested for violent crime before does pop into my mind! lmao! Jack was streaming a game at the time that she was outside his home, and these clips of him, his friends, and Erin reacting in real time to what is genuinely a scary situation have been taken down in case he needs to use them in legal action. Shit is legitimately serious!

#sergle answers #long post #LONGEST POST ON EARTH I'M SO SORRY #saying all this out loud only takes a few minutes but typing it... girl this is a BOOK #clearly I have thoughts on this Online Drama but also this isn't online! #these are people who exist in real life. and compromising a person's safety bc he criticized you for stealing tiktoks #is a real life thing. this isn't confined to online spaces! you can turn off your computer to get away from An Argument #but someone going to your house?? that's absolutely terrifying #and all of this is just because he's been telling her to credit the creators. it could have been resolved so simply. #I hope he takes legal action against her bc he genuinely has grounds to do so. #and I can't imagine how terrified and upset I would be if someone was outside my door. filming my house for their audience. #also the 'what if the roles were reversed' argument is rarely made in good faith... but she's already brought up the topic. #this would be getting even more coverage and the optics would be Even Creepier if a strange man with millions of followers showed up #at the home of a woman- just bc she criticized his videos- filming her home address for all to see and trying to get her to come outside. #It's just as creepy that sssniperwolf did this as it would be coming from ANYONE else #it's been downplayed bc her being a little skinny woman means that A Man shouldn't be threatened by her #which. even if she wasn't going to Do anything. any one of her rabidly loyal online followers MIGHT. she's not the only one who could go to #his house now! anyone could show up. #sergle.txt #Jacksfilms #Sssniperwolf

i have to say seeing how popular jem is now, knowing he hasn't always been, is SO reassuring and relieving. not because other characters aren't great or have good values, but because it means jem's standout qualities – things like kindness, compassion, gentleness, being thoughtful – are being appreciated and seen as more important and that's SUCH a good thing. especially knowing ya's history of pushing forward the toxic-cocky-mysterious bad boy agenda… we're finally putting qualities like kindness above that, which is a really positive step forward. i know it's more nuanced than this, and tsc's characters are far more nuanced (jem's sole trait isn't being kind, for instance) but he wasn't always appreciated this much and as a longtime jem fan i truly love to see it. i grew up reading books where the mc always went for the mysterious bad boy character – ruder, testy, provocative – and often these characters were more popular because being kind was seen as 'boring' or meant you could only ever be in the friendzone. jem was one of the first characters i read who had this really horrible backstory, but throughout everything was genuinely just kind. it's really wonderful to see so many people appreciating that :)

#like yes let's keep normalising healthy relationships and kindness yk? #the way tessa fell for jem because he was so compassionate towards her and always listened to her and made her feel great about herself - #like that's the message! #this isn't saying other stories aren't important or interesting #but i'm saying that love interests who are just kind + good are rare and often overlooked in ya and i'm really proud of how much apprecia- #tion jem is getting now #bec a lot of people reading these books will be young and impressionable and like when i was growing up i thought love was meant to be - #rocky and difficult based on the books i read…but no it shouldn't have to be that way #and jem came along and proved that a relationship based on friendship and intimacy can be equally passionate #and he slayed sooooo hard for that #ok i'm done lmao #jem carstairs #tsc #the infernal devices #tid #james carstairs #tessa gray #meta ? #idk #ya

hanne (trying to recall a fun childhood story): did you tell them about the zipline

matthias: i did tell them about the zipline

jesper: he told us about the zipline

hanne: then why do you all look so upset

wylan: sorry, to clarify, are you referencing the zipline designed to kill children?

hanne and matthias at the same time, still not sure why people don't think that the zipline story is funny: yes

nina, walking back into the room after getting a glass of water: why does everyone suddenly look so concerned did matthias bring up his childhood summer camp's illegal fucking zipline again

#this is how i feel hanne and matthias are in any modern au #matthias is like remember when we got left after school for 3 hours and had to walk home and hanne is like haha yeah #and everyone is like i'm sorry fucking WHAT #and matthias is like yeah! we saw some rare birds on the walk home #hanne i think is more aware how deeply fucked this all is but is also like. well what can i do about it now #i'm not gonna call my parents that's for damn sure #kaz like also matthias and hanne stop telling fucked up stories about your childhood. they actually do make me laugh #but only because it's funny to imagine child matthias suffering #if only child me while suffering had known child matthias was suffering at the same time. that would've been my sole joy in life #matthias: that's... really beautiful #kaz: i will kill us both #soc headcanon #grishaverse headcanon #matthias helvar #hanne brum #something about the machine designed to kill children to me was like. matthias has done this and didn't realize he shouldn't have

my mom is like "you should save all your money and not do anything with it since you live with us and don't have to pay bills" and I'm like "I will save a reasonable amount of what I make but also earning money and not having bills to pay yet means that I have freedom to buy things I want now" is this going to be an item of tension between us until the end of days

#I live in a very small walkable town I don't need a car and honestly I don't want one bc I rarely go long distances without my family #just bc. I have no need to? I go with them if they're making a day of it but otherwise there's no reason #I have a bike. I can walk anywhere. like... shouldn't I be able to spend the money I make within reason??? #Lu rambles #sigh. #adulthood woes

good morning on my walk today I was thinking about whether things are more special if they aren't always around or are rare... let me know what you think?

#hj #I can kind of see both sides #but if the special things are rare what does that say about us? what does this say about our moments? #they shouldn't be less special because they're around more often #very curious pls let me know your thoughts <3

i really need to finish this one day

#one of my fave ideas but i keep getting stuck or starting over. third time's the charm hopefully #anyways. posting it as an excuse to rant because i'm losing my mind over this rn for no reason #incoherent but i just need to Talk or my brain won't shut up #you ever think about how fucked up it is that aoi feels guilty over what happened. i do. i think about her a lot #he can't even look at me. we aren't even blood related but he still had to go to jail because of me. i still love him #in reality none of it is her fault. it shouldn't be about doumeki in the first place. baby girl you were 15 when it happened. #you can say that yashiro is cruel in his dismissiveness (on the surface) of doumeki's trauma but you can see where he's coming from #you got a glimpse of what your sister was going through? of what i went through? and now you're sooo guilty over it? and who does it help? #doumeki's so focused on his own feelings that he ignored aoi when they were living together. “saves” her by pure chance #proceeds to focus on his guilt and ignore her again. if yashiro didn't get involved she'd be sitting in the rain for god knows how long #yet she still loves and to some degree idolizes him #yashiro and aoi both saying that doumeki isn't the type of person to be a yakuza too. doumeki's good doumeki's better than that #and then ch 24 happens. where yashiro says that he's going to throw up and doumeki's response is “i probably won't stop even if you do” #“guess i am like my father after all” and yashiro still goes “you're not. you're pure and im the problem” #(touches doumeki's face. rare gentle gesture. he's gentle afterwards too before leaving. man.) #he's not cruel enough to repeat what he said in the earlier conversation and he doesn't actually believe it anyway #but i wish yashiro was cruel there. it shouldn't have been about doumeki and his feelings. again. #something about yashiro throwing a knife at another person and it flying back at him huh #for all the talk about how doumeki supposedly romanticizes yashiro it really is the other way around. always has been #which is a whole other conversation but yeah. everything about aoi and yashiro in relation to doumeki makes me so fucking sad #but this is also what i mean when i say that aoi doesn't haunt the narrative per se but still has this weird presence? #she's in the parallels. she's in the brief but important mentions. she's in the “your sister was lucky she had you”. #wips tag

I'm not going to get over this btw. Nor am I going to ignore the extreme enthusiasm he had after you give him your answer. I need to go sit down and have a moment hhh

#toast talks #genshin impacted #leave me and my hopeless romantic but easily confused Neuvillette thoughts alone. I need to THINK #I shouldn't have taken my meds today. The hyperfixation is back and I can't get it out fast enough #I've got a whole day of work ahead of me but this will be the only thought in my mind I just #He's so closed off to anyone that isnt close to him but keeps his distance for the sake of impartiality #and yet he feels so much and has his own set of thoughts and feelings and opinions that he only shares with those he trusts #and his trust is such a fleeting and rare thing to find because while he might respect the roles of others he has to work with #there are so few people that he can genuinely trust but those few people see a version of Neuvillette that no one else will #and it does something to me to know that while he holds himself to these duties and this standard of impartiality #he cares so deeply about the people and land that he still struggles to understand. The people and land that make him feel #like an outsider. #He's just...I can't not love him. I have a problem -

I'm not clued in on all the announcements that have been made but since the ultimate universe is gonna be back in some form I'm gonna say this, as someone who read every ultimate universe comic:

The main thing that was great and interesting about the ultimate universe wasn't the "edginess" or the clean slate it started with or whatever. The thing that makes the idea of an Ultimate Universe interesting and fun is the potential for consequences that could never exist in 616. Like yes ultimatum fucking sucks but the idea that wolverine, professor x, magneto, etc could die and the universe wouldn't bring them back, and instead would work with the consequences of their absence forever is so interesting, likewise spidey and then cap in cataclysm. The second volume of ultimate x men, miles morales as spider man, the evolution of Ben grimm and obviously the Maker - all of these things, especially Miles and Reed being the primary exports of 1610, come about as a consequence of having a universe without a solid status quo, giving writers like Bendis and Hickman room to explore interesting ideas which would be impossible within a typical comic book framework

#I'd also cite the Divided They Fall/United They Stand event as an example of the way this can work #Except i dont think that event necessarily does. #But the intention of having three core series which impact the world in a fundamental way is so rare in comics #My point is. 1610 shouldn't just ve remembered for Loeb's and to a lesser extent Millar's worst tendencies #marvel #1610 #6160 #ultimate invasion #ultimate universe #lily dot tee ex tee

when you express your feelings to one of your parents and they take it as a personal attack..................

#like no because i was telling my mum for years that i cant just have a film degree and then walk into the industry #i kept telling her i have to make my own stuff to build up my portfolio cause the reality is they don't give af abt degrees #they just want to know if u can do what u say u can and she would constantly discourage me from making my own stuff #and now she wants to call me to say that shes encouraging me to pursue my dreams like... this always fucking happens #i will say i need to do something and she will disregard it or or shut it down and then years down the line she will tell me #to do what i was suggesting years before that... and when i tell her i said this years before she gets upset and starts yelling #when i told her shes been constantly discouraged me from making my own stuff for 3 years she started telling me its not true #because she helped me apply to a bunch of film residentials etc when that's not what im saying???? im saying when i #told her i wanted to work on personal projects. just because im excited she would shut it down immediately im not talking abt #you helping me find out about the bfi film academy??? but now she wants to push me to do it.... telling me about it like I've never #spoken to her about this before. she still has the mentality of no matter what age you are everything you say shouldn't be taken into #account because im older than you and i automatically know whats best. this happens all the time #all i can say is she actually apologised because in the past she used to never say sorry. i would just tell her im sorry and we'll leave #ot at that but atleast she said sorry. even tho she kept saying 'im sorry if u felt i discouraged you' like she still doesn't believe #what im saying. unsolicited advice but the advice is just shit i said to her years before..... its so infuriating #its why i rarely ever talk to her

At what point is bad cooking an assassination attempt? Asking for a friend

USUALLY YOU CAN'T POISON SOMEONE UNINTENTIONALLY... BUT YOU CAN MAKE THEM VERY SICK.

IT BECOMES AN ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT WHEN YOU NEGLECT HANDWASHING, CLEANLINESS AND CARE.

A CHARCOALED MUFFIN IS NOT AN ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT; "MEDIUM RARE" CHICKEN OR ANY FOOD THAT WASN'T PREPARED IN A SANITARY KITCHEN IS.

#remember kids: wash your hands! make sure the dishes are clean before you use them (and preferably after!) #wash your hands after touching raw meat or eggs #don't let raw meat touch clean vegetables #and NEVER use a dirty cutting board or utensil for your nice clean vegetables! #to ensure food safety your poultry and pork should reach 160 degrees F internally (preferably 180!) #cuts of beef can be cooked rare but hamburgers shouldn't #and wash your hands again if you touch your hair face or clothes #all caps #advice

Nobody stopped me so I mixed two rare pairs (Sparrow Hood x Daring Charming and Chase Redford x Daring Charming) and made a polyamory with those two rare pairs (Sparrow Hood x Daring Charming x Chase Redford) in my mind that sounds like a super cool pairing but but I'm probably the only person who has thought about that ship so I'll have to come up with all the ideas myself.

Yeah, that's me loving and creating rare pairs and extra extra rare pairs. Nobody stopped me, nobody told me "Hey don't do it, don't mix two rare pairs" so I did it.

#eah #ever after high #sparrow hood #daring charming #chase redford #sparrow x daring x chase #sparrow hood x daring charming x chase redford #love rare pairs #i love them so much #rare ship #rare pair #yeah #maybe I'll post the new thing I came up with for eah Omegaverse #People can hate the Omegaverse but I don't #Just because there are people who don't like it doesn't mean that I shouldn't like it #because it's not like that #I like it #and I don't care about people who don't like it #so yeah 👍

Ok, I am officially done with thiss!!! 😭😩😡 I've been trying to change my tag list and about page and blog's theme, but AAHHHH it keeps showing the "javascript or HTML" error and I don't know what else to do ¬¬. I've been looking for codes and guides, etc (I'm not an expert so editing them is hard for me.... magically I've learned a lot today) but it's not enough....

Is there a way to fix this?!?! contacting the "team" is useless. how do you guys change everything??

It’s just so cathartic to watch someone coming to terms with the ways in which they are, in fact, kind of a terrible person and then suffer under that knowledge but work through it and find kindness anyways.

#emma 2020 #look i think it is just a really common human experience to realize you've actually done something hurtful #or realize you've been arrogant or indifferent or ungrateful or cruel #and desperately wish you could turn back the clock #or escape that squirming feeling of guilt #but you just kinda have to struggle through it #and you have a choice whether or not you'll do something about it #you can either say *well it's their problem not mine* or you can accept your responsibility and do something to make amends #but it's not common to see on screen #you either have characters who are perceived by others as having done wrong but the narrative treats it as justified #or you have characters who do something wrong and are condemned #but it's really rare for someone to be both wrong/acknowledged as wrong AND ALSO shown to be deserving of compassion #like with emma? yep it's totally your fault. this is your mess. and yet it sucks to realize you've been hurtful #that bad feeling doesn't exempt you of a responsibility to make things better #but your wrong-ness doesn't mean you shouldn't be comforted

Nothing makes me angrier than people trying to validate trans people’s gender through sexism. That’s not fucking helping anyone im not here to validate your misogyny and i do not agree with your gender stereotypes i don’t care that you accept gender conforming trans people in it

#sam speaks #discussion of misogyny #what do you mean i look too manly to be a woman anyways someone could look like me and be a woman looks have zero to do with gender identit #transphobia #the shit people say when they think they can convince you to join their men's club where they shit on women i swear #miss me with that #also another can of worms when the only way cis ppl know to compliment a trans girl is by congratulating her for being good at #conforming to gender stereotypes. they shouldn't have to asshole #exorsexism #cisnormativity #cis nonsense #good tag to exist #sometimes happens between trans ppl- tho very rare in my experience and due to the same lack of self reflection.and receiving social #punishment for years for being gender non conforming
