#didn't you watch the fucking video

[swordsonnet]

i did not have "james somerton stealing the title for his second apology video from hbomberguy" on my 2024 bingo card

#...but maybe i should've expected it #he actually called it 'a measured response' like dude are you fucking serious??? #i didn't watch the video because it's like 40 minutes long but i skimmed through the transcript #it's auto-generated captions so obvs not 100% accurate but i think i got the gist and it's. uh. bad! #just a bunch of lame excuses and playing the victim. classic james #james somerton #hbomberguy

Many giggles behind the scenes of season 7 (I think)

(apologies for gif quality, source material apparently filmed with a brick 😂)

#watching christopher judge laugh healed me #stargate #sg-1 #stargateedit #christopher judge #amanda tapping #michael shanks #behind the scenes #s7 #(i think) #***edits #finally found this video and had to make my own gifs #in the process i heard the question of 'why are your pants undone?!' #and the answer of 'those aren't my pants 😏' didn't help #what in the fuck was going on here #idk but it ROTTED MY BRAIN #why is there a towel??? #why are they cuddling like awkward teenagers???? #also idk about you but i've never kissed my coworker's hand and put it on my upper thigh!!! #i'm going nuts! WACKO! #what was happening here?

I just had a major realization.

If the Hatchetfield Trilogy is about parodying/paying homage to different types of horror tropes/genres... What if one of the next musicals in the Hatchetverse (aside from Working Boys but still) is about a haunted/possessed video game? (A la videogame creepypasta)

I would buy tickets to both travel to AND see the production. I would!

#triv.txt #nerdy prudes must die #black friday starkid #the guy who didn't like musicals #hatchetfield #hatchetverse #lords in black #the lords in black #nightmare time #starkid #creepypasta #video game creepypasta #which of the lib do you think would be behind a haunted video game #pokey and wiggly already had their musicals #nibbly doesn't strike me as the kinda creature to do that #so it's either between tinky or blinky #blinky would watch people through an invasive phone game #but tinky would find a garage sale and fuck with a random cartridge just to ensnare more playthings

chat, is this real? (god i wish it wasn't.)

so uh. according to this thread its very possible that Level-5 is using ai art. thats fucking fantastic. thanks guys. definitely not a spit in the face to your fans who've loved you for years for your unique art direction. no. not at all :) /VERY SAR

it doesn't matter if they're "just using it for concept art" or whatever. they're still using it and its fucking gross. As a Yo-Kai Watch fan of almost 10 years now, I am truly disgusted. I hope they recall this decision and go back to using exclusively real artists, or they'll lose a lot of fans (including myself, which would break my heart. I love Level-5 games to death.)

I'm still most likely going to buy Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road and Decapolice when they come out, because most likely if the use of AI in scriptwriting/sidequests is real those will be rewritten in the English localization by actual people. Still doesn't change the concept art thing but i've been hyped for these games for too long to let that ruin it. If it goes any further than that tho, i'm probably going to tap out. Which sucks so much.

This is lazy at best and downright harmful to real artists at worst.

also why would you want it to look more like the anime bro the yo-kai watch anime was ass. thats just me tho askjfhakjhfkjafk

#princeposting #level-5 #yokai watch #decapolice #inazuma eleven #fuck ai art #ai art #fuck ai #if you support ai art don't interact dude. i don't want to hear you #take your whining about “gatekeeping” elsewhere. L. Ratio even. get gatekept lmao #this is genuinely so dissapointing. i'm an artist and i've loved Level-5's works since i was like. 8 #specifically because their art direction was so distinct and wacky and cool #so to see them do this is rlly dissapointing. #ik it wont do anything to a multi million dollar video game company to tell them to “do better” but still #do better guys wtf is this #this explains why i thought some of the Decapolice concept art looked strange. like there was something about the lineart that didn't look #right. now i know lmao

I think every artist needs to experience the sheer rage of learning how wrong you were about something and exactly where you went wrong. As weird as it sounds, it's grounding and can be really awe-inspiring after you're done being pissed off. It reminds me that there is so much in this world I don't know, that I need to turn every stone, or I will feel my brain peeling itself with longing

#art #positivity #i am so mad right now (it will pass) #i'm learning the half double crochet stitch and i DID IT WRONGGGGGG #and it makes me grateful that there are so many resources to help and so many kind people in this world #i just hate the feeling of being confident you understand something until you do it and realize you never understood it in the first place #what if this is why i had such a hard time pulling the crochet stitch through................................... #if i didn't Royally Fuck Up i would not be watching a youtube video where the person's yarn is a gorgeous chunky baby blue that i envy

Okay I just watched Hypno's run where he had to go to level 3 and oh boy that floor is intense. I can't wait to watch other hermits attempt it, especially one Tango adds the second warden back into it

#sidenote: i had a dream the other morning #that I was watching bdubs play decked out #like on a livestream I think #and he got so jump-scared by a warden he accidentally said ''fucking- shit'' #Then realized what he said as he ran away- stopped at a safe spot and switched into F5 to look at the camera- #and laughed like ''.....I didn't say that. you heard ~nothing~'' to the audience before continuing the run #It was so mildly cursed that I just keep thinking about it lol #a few hours after I woke up he posted his first Decked Out video too. It was perfect timing lol #Anyway! #lee speaks #hermitcraft #hypnotizd #decked out 2

should not have read the replies on that one post bcos my goddd i'm feeling as much contempt for ofmd fans as i feel for the scammers on here pretending to be palestinian. both of you are incapable of putting aside your own comfort and extravagances for the sake of people who are experiencing unimaginable suffering, both of you see the genocide of palestinians as nothing but means to achieve your own ends. scammers at least are upfront in that you know they have no morals and they do everything for money. but these omfd fans are literally using palestine to clear their conscience and feel better about having shit taste in tv shows they wanna get away with supporting awful people and awful ideas so how convenient that they have ~$11k~ to throw into the faces of those who criticize them, as if that doesn't make them even more despicable!!! i hate rich people sooo muchhh i hate people made stupid by wealth and privilege!!!!!!!!!

#didn't all of you watch motaz and bisan and eman and every other palestinian on twitter accuse the world of not caring about them #of celebrating holidays and going on with their lives and turning a blind eye while they were being massacred by the thousands #did you not read about the baby who died of hunger and watch the videos of people getting shot at while fighting for food #and did you not feel even the slightest shame about yourselves after all of these for paying for a fucking billboard???

happy bomb in a tribble tuesday 

#STAR TREK: DEEP SPACE 9 #BEST LINE FROM BEST EPISODE #I started it and then when I saw what they were doing I GASPED ALOUD was like pointing at the screen and going oooh woahhhh so cool!!!! #and then I immediately went back and watched The Trouble With Tribbles so I would get what was going on lol #I love DS9 but sometimes there is like. pre-work u have to do before viewing certain episodes. and nobody warns u about it #somebody should put together a guide or sth for those of us who don't wanna watch all of TOS and TNG beforehand #Starky's Original Posts #can't imagine how lost I'd be if I hadn't watched a couple hours-long Star Trek video essays before starting the show omfg #DS9 is so fucking funny bc they will catch u up to speed if u forgot sth from last season but if u didn't see TNG ur on ur own #Miles out of nowhere: well Worf that's just because you hardly see your son! #Hapless DS9-only viewer: WORF HAS A SON????? WH-- #also I love how much DS9 hates its companion shows. Picard killed Sisko's son. The doctor from Voyager ruined Julian's life. #STAR TREK ON STAR TREK HOSTILITY #it fucking loves TOS though as seen from this episode #which is just the perfect punchline to it all. perfect no notes. #in conclusion society if Garak got to see Julian in that little TOS uniform getup..............

why? bc i was thinking about what i watch and what i'd like to see from dan, basically what you said to the previous anon. in late 2018 (at the end of the dan and phil era coincidentally) my taste shifted a lot from mostly comedy and vloggers to video essays and comentary so personally i'd love to see something like that from dan, but i have no idea what dan wants to do. what do you think he wants to do? what's something he'll find fulfilling and sustainable?

i'm going insane reading all these asks about what's next for dan's career. i lobe him i want him to succeed, i want him to get attention and i want to be entertained by him <3

me 🤝 you

sustainable? this is UNSUSTAINABLE!! (sorry, the last promo got in the eyes).

i think he wants (or wanted before wad) to get into stand-up comedy. at some point he proclaimed himself a comedian and started acting like one. unsuccessfully, in my opinion. he is a bad actor, but he is good at exaggerating his feelings. and this is why wad show worked for those who were familiar with Dan, his content, his internet personality and the phandom. i think he loves attention from real life audience, and he loves connecting to the audience while being on stage, so audience participation is an important part of what he wants. (let's count how many times i say "audience"). a not-so-strict script that allows to ask questions, react to answers, comment on people's reactions, make faces, laugh randomly, adjust the show to what is happening on stage – that's a stand-up show that hundreds of people are doing. and i think Dan would be very fucking good at it. the problem is the theme of said stand-up. and i think Dan would love for it to not rely on youtube as heavily as it did during wad (which wasn't an actual stand-up comedy).

remember the last vidcon he attended and the panel that felt like a Ted Talk? it was a fail, i'd say. partly because the audience was too diverse in a sense that phannies weren't the majority. and i'm glad he didn't push this type of career path. wad was so much better, but it was also targeted at the people who already knew him. even if in the beginning i think he was trying to get a wider audience, the lack of funding or enthusiasm promo-wise made it impossible for the "outsiders" to make the experience strange for everyone, Dan including. wad happened to be for us. but was it successful or fulfilling, or sustainable? no. not in a money / audience growth / similar future tours ways. there should be done a lot of changes. and i guess completely changing his management was the 1st and very important step. it was fulfilling in a way that he met us, he saw what his coming out did and what an incredible impact he had on us (not to mention that ii was almost the same. a bunch of gays gathered together).

he clearly wants something bigger than we aka phandom can give him. and for that he must change the theme or/and concept of his shows. i do think that he will try to do a performance again. and i hope it's gonna be less acting and more improvisation.

i'm not sure about a filmed show. he sucks as an actor, and i don't want him to fail :( but if Joey Graceffa successfully put out Escape the Night and Liza Koshy had a series that didn't require more acting than her own skits, maybe something similar could be alright?! "danisnotokay" is an outdated title though. we need to change it, he is not 25 anymore, come on.

basically, he loves attention, complaining about his life, trauma dumping, edgy jokes, screaming, laughing, sex jokes, feeling liked, loved and wanted. he fucking beams when people applaud him. and for that he needs audience. he could get all of it minus an applause with a podcast or livestreams, but he is a stubborn asshole, so i do hope to see him on stage again. preferably a smaller one and with new topics to discuss.

#you didn't ask so it's here #i would love to see commentary from him on topics that he cares about and knows #even if i don't care are the topic #like swell entertainment does. she talks about things i don't know or care. but it's done so good. informative. fun and well.. entertaining #that i just click on the video anyway. even if it's about a brand that makes square food. i don't give a fuck about the brand but i watch. #and dan's liveshows makes me think that he would be very good at presenting what he is interested in in a commentary way #don't touch things you don't know (football for example 🔪) and talk about things you actually familiar with #dan #wad #phandom #answered #imagine phil makes him return to regular joint content when we already collectively buried it 💀 #i would laugh for a week

sorry thinking about how i wrote an entirely lovecraft themed poem about transgenderism for my beginning creative writing class last semester and one single person besides the professor in that room full of english majors recognized that it was referencing lovecraft. i do not mean this in a way that shames people for not having read stuff or for not having the means to read stuff. but oh my god guys does anyone who is getting a higher level education in literature even look at the literary sources of common phenomena in media nowadays

#sorry i know i did not directly name drop cthulu so maybe it was too subtle. #and sure like. miskatonic university and the necronomicon are visible enough terms in the collective consciousness that you maybe wouldn't #consider that they had even really come from anywhere else. #i'm not gonna say that i'm a huge classic literary horror fan or anything but i am a freak in a way that is conducive #to doing further investigation into things like that for reasons of personal interest. #however i was talking about sleeping horrors and going mad and the great ones in the sea the whole poem 😭 #like if you guys didn't know it was lovecraft what the fuck did you think i was talking about that whole time 😭 #anyway experienced an indescribable emotion when the professor went 'raise your hand if you knew this was referencing lovecraft' #and that One Guy put his hand up... austin we're in this together for real. i did not think that the fantasy epic poem you wrote #for the final was particularly groundbreaking. but i respect the grind i really do #anyway english majors watch some overly sarcastic productions videos on classic literature i prommy it's good for understanding references #i've read like three lovecraft short stories in their entirety. but cultural osmosis and general interest in a topic #will do so much for you in terms of literary illusions. i prommmmmyyyyyyyy #valentine notes

#just watched a jack edwards video where he read yellowface and let me just give my 2 cents that no one asked for #so i'm asian. surprise. if y'all didn't know already #and i really feel like rf kuang's books are just not that good. in fact i would say they are very catered to white people #who are learning about colonialism or even asian people for the first time #it's like barbie being feminism 101 lol #most of the people i've seen say that babel or yellowface are the most groundbreaking books on earth are guess what. white people! #i've read babel. it was good and she obviously knows what she's talking about because there was so much information in it #but it was not the best book I've ever read. characters were bland. I've read the poppy war. good but not that great towards the end #my friend (singaporean but born in china) read yellowface and she absolutely fucking hates it #she gave me her copy to read but idk if i want to because none of rf kuang's books have stood out to me so far #that's not to say you can't love her books. and if you learn from them then that's great! #but don't treat her as objectively the best writer of our time when it is your own lack of knowledge that leads you to think that #also while we're on the topic #i fucking hate the bell jar #it's so WHITE #and the racism towards chinese people that 90% of y'all don't seem to get from reading the book is quite insane
