Like this job makes me suicidal sometimes and its the worst.

censored tweets because it's too horrible for me to casually put here but it's so infuriating how people on twitter who build their entire brand on usamerican trans issues literally have 0 empathy for trans people in other countries. these two accounts have hundreds of thousands of followers and erin reed is major source on trans news in the us. so disrespectful and flippant to be using this case (and this thread. which contains graphic details of the murder of a trans teenager. the censored tweet contained slurs.) to make a stupid point about how you think another country's legal system is stupid and wrong because it's different to yours.

#erin reed has been very uscentric before so if this was anything other than this particular case itd just be an eyeroll moment #but seriously? you read the contents of that thread and still have it in you to complain about having to think before you tweet for #5 minutes? #makes me genuinely so mad. #'we had a revolution over this' literally shut UPPP stop doing stupid quips under a tweet about something this serious #not to mention erin reed should absolutely know better than to have originally quoted with her opinion because the original thread #(by a uk trans journalist) #said SO many times that doing that could potentially disrupt the case. #like i try not to get mad online. but come on. come the fuck onnnn. #transphobia / #brianna ghey #tagging because reading about the case made me feel so sick earlier ill understand if people have filtered her name

@icingsweet // Erin

Maybe Phoenix needed to get better hobbies. Right now, going out and drinking was his top one. One day, he'd replace it with something of better substance, but tonight, he found himself back at Hell and Highwater like he was a lot of nights. He checked his bank balance on his phone. It wasn't ... the best. His mom might be right about him needing to get a job that used his degree. Surely, that would pay better.

Being here often enough, he knew all of the bartenders. Looking behind the counter, his eyes landed on Erin. Well, fuck. They weren't entirely his biggest fan in the world. Scratch that, Phoenix was pretty sure he hated him. They'd hooked up a few - or more than a few - times in the past and that always ended in arguments where they would call the other names. Phoenix was pretty sure a lot of the things he said to Erin could also apply to himself, but he wasn't in the mood for introspection. He was in the mood to get drunk. Propping his elbows up on the bar, he flashed them a grin. "Erin! We're friends, right?"

#♕ i want world domination just like everybody else ☓ phoenix #♕ half the time that i’m complaining i’m just talking shit on you ☓ interactions #phoenix ft erin

Let's face it, if there were a Stormlight Archive video game and Syl was the player's companion, there would be people hating on Syl for absolutely no reason.

#erin reads stormlight archive #they hated navi #they hated fi #blue feminine companions are unreasonably despised by gamers #“she's so hand-holdy--” STOP PLAYING A GAME DESIGNED FOR CHILDREN THEN. #you don't get to play a children's game and then complain about a feature that was made TO HELP CHILDREN #THE TARGET AUDIENCE! #PLAY THE GAME #anyways sorry for the rant

i've never read a warriors book but i'm aware of like, aspects of the story. i've seen some of excerpts from the newest book (??) and nightheart seemed so....whiny?? idk if that's the word i'm looking for but i can't tell if it's on purpose or if he's just written weirdly. like, it seems like he's suppose to be someone that doesn't get any love from his family but he comes off the opposite way and that he's just spoiled

Welcome to warriors. I dont think its on purpose that hes whiny (them trying to make an unreliable/cunt narrator) i think they think this is good dialogue/we should agree with him because the website seems to be pushing this “oh that rash Flamepaw always in firestars shadow poor him!” angle. Its also a very weird character arc for them to choose when we’ve had PO3 OoTS and AVoS from a Firestar grandkid, TBC from a great-great-grandkid (Bristle<Fern<Lion<Leaf<Fire) and now Flamepaw as a great-grandkid like… the chance was there. They failed to do it with Alderpaw and this just feels like a rehash.

As for the actual character arc… No one in River was mean to him, no one compared him to Firestar directly and told him he had to be like Firestar- it was gentle encouragement if anything- yet the Erins are insisting hes some poor victim of legacy. The subtext of the series/promo material (so far) is that Flamepaw is a poor widdle baby not ‘Flamepaw is a dumb fucking kid/unreliable narrator plagued by insecurity who needs to grow up’ so. I don’t need the narrative to hold my hand and tell me he’s wrong becoz its currently grabbing my throat and demanding i should feel bad for some spoiled kid. The “squirrel and spark have always been this way” kinda doesn’t work becoz Squirrel is nothing but understanding to Hollypaw when she stresses about being a good warrior/deputy/having kids when shes brambleclaw/firestar descended in The Sight (Dark River?) and “traditionalist” Sparkpelt is… a HC if anything.

Uno what i actually typed up some longer “i understand the nightheart sympathisers/squirrel + spark have always been this way camp” “the series is poorly written, the erins will make characters act in extreme ways to push a story” “the erins are pushing for him to be Right” discussion but actually i think hes just fucking whiny and spoiled because nothing that bad has happened to him, the sparkpelt as neglectful is a retcon, and here he is whining about firestar and how dare his mother want him to look up to/be like her esteemed grandfather. And anyway bruv its just a name its literally not that deep its never been that deep before. Cringe!

#also finchlight is literally fucking named FINCH as in a bird as in LARKsong and shes not complaining oops #asks #asc spoilers #warrior cats spoilers #hes so fucking cringe and i want to like him or have him be unreliable #my problem is the erins insisting he is Right in the promo stuff like. TC is against him #i would have preferred finchlight trying to do her duty and be a good daughter/warrior/friend while dealing with her cringe brother #who refuses to grow up and become a better person POV #i want him to be an unreliable narrator i want him to be challenged by the arc but it just feels like they wont #becoz the subtext is ‘poor flamepaw uwu’ see finchlights 180 to disowning him when she was kinda nice last book #anyway. rancid take over! hope u enjoy the warriors community anon im happy to talk warriors whenever :)

so i have a question, in what ways do you think the social team sucks? (I agree btw, it always feel like they try to connect with fandom but just can't, like instead of posting the things that would excited their audience, the fandom spaces they post what excites them if that makes sense? and what's exciting for them it's not what we are really interested in)

(also don't know if you know watcher but their social media team is the best out of the youtubers world in my opinion. they actually hired a person that was a big fan of their content, that was part of these spaces already. and she always nails what we want to see. she also really aknowledge tumblr and knows how popular they are here. I feel like a lot of the others socials teams tend to forget about here when it can be such a huge asset)

I always try to give the benefit of the doubt to people, while also playing devils advocate. I feel it makes for a more sound opinion on things. Having grace for others is ALWAYS a good thing.

I fully agree with what you said! you put it so perfectly!

"like they try to connect with fandom but just can't"

It feels like this too me too, especially as of recent. They ALWAYS push the jokes they (the people on set/work at Smosh) find funny. Which isn't a bad thing! there should be space for people to find what they find funny and push for it.

It just becomes an issue when they try to sell merch for things the community doesn't even know about/care about as deeply. (lmk if I'm wrong, but when the "you're my favorite pizza place" joke became a 'thing' the video hadn't even come out yet? I remember having no clue what anyone was talking about, I think the videos come out out of order? and all the sudden we had merch?)

I do like a lot of Smosh merch though! but there's just so much wasted potential of other things that would sell better.

A lot of Smosh fans are I believe Gen Z(?) but I feel like they try to make content for millennials/Gen A so we get a lot of floundering between demographics. I'm also very aware most of the cast/crew at Smosh is more in the millennial demo, which could be a large reason why we get more of that geared content.

Maybe at the end of the day they can't connect on purpose, maybe because they don't want to get into any drama/legal trouble they stay away from interacting with the community too much?

Getting away from those thoughts- they also have a HORRIBLE track record with letting us know about delays, just look at what they did with Sword AF S2. They totally dropped the ball. I'm still very upset about it. I really can't find a reason why they couldn't let us know sooner than DAY OF.

You'd think with them being so proud with their 'scheduling' (which I also HATE.) they would have dealt with these things better.

I've talked before about how I don't really like how much they do on 'shoot weeks'. It drains them loads and seems really hard to stay upbeat, and it WILL wear them down. (I'm wondering if that's why we haven't gotten Damien in too many videos as of recent. He doesn't want to do the shitty ass schedule)

At the end of it all, Anthony and Ian have all the say in what happens at Smosh so I'll just trust they will continue to do what they think is best <3 (even if I hate it) (their livelihood not mine y'know?)

"they actually hired a person that was a big fan of their content, that was part of these spaces already."

THIS^ (I do believe they have a lot of Smosh fans working there rn though) NOBODY DOES A JOB LIKE THIS BETTER THAN A PERSON OBSESSED... NOBODY!

I don't watch a lot of Watcher content but every now and again I'll check in and watch some of their stuff, they're a great lot!

I DIDN'T KNOW THEY HIRED A FAN!! THATS SO AWESOME!! They really know what they're doing! Whos gonna push content better than someone who full-heartedly enjoys it like a fan! (That's were I see the Smosh team falter a lot. It feels like they treat it like they're apart of the team to much? like they obviously ARE but I feel like if you want the job done the best you have to look at it with a fans eyes to know what would be the best content to push y'know?)

#yapping #smoshblr #smosh #Watcher #its not my job but i WILL complain #I still love smosh #take this as harsh criticism #because thats what it is #wishing smoshs social team well <3 #even if they piss me off #erin dougal #very well put Anon <3

[imwritesometimes]

I really do feel like my brain has just been completely smoothed out. almost 0 interest in anything anymore. don't wanna write. no blorbo thoughts beyond ones I do not really engage in fandom for. every time I try to get myself back into reading anything I'm just like blehhhhhhh no. feel like my whole life is work, work out, cook, clean, sims, phone games, sleep, repeat.

#idk what happened but lmao I feel like there's no point to even having this account these days 🤷‍♀️ #and I'm just here rn to bitch and complain before I gotta get back to real life bullshit and then get ready for bed #cause that's how my days feel now. HURRY HURRY HURRY HURRY ok now bed time. #I'm still really looking forward to going to the movies for the first time in FOUR YEARS. but like. #no one fuckin cares lmao no one is here for that. I got nothing for this blog anymore beyond the #occasional meme and the kitty posts #idk I'm in a weird headspace rn it's fuckin shitty #erin explains it all

[cassyblue]

I think a big part of my exhaustion is just all the anti trans shit now that I'm literally in the worst state. I moved from Colorado one of the best fucking states for trans shit back home bc I simply was out of money and ways to keep on limping along after I got laid off in 2022. I know it's like not as bad for me bc Im not on hrt and most people assume I'm a cis lesbian but it just still digs into you. Like I was gonna get my teaching license specifically for school librarys & middle & high school science and now it's like well that's a terrible idea. And everyone who's like y'all need to get out and move out sort of stress me out more bc like not everyone has the ability or means to GTFO. I don't. Like moving cross country is not easy or cheap even if you have very little stuff.

And I guess seeing posts about why are you staying or that there is nothing redeemable is disheartening bc like it ignores some of us don't have much choice here ? We can only scrape on and keep surviving.

I know I'm very privileged for being able to pass under the radar but it's exhausting & demoralizing to basically be shoved back into that in order to get back on my feet

#erin complains #ive never been good about direct action opting to support stuff with money #but i kinda wish i was better #that i had the ability and balls to protest

[wyverwithy]

it's kind of amazing how incapable wc fans are at knowing the difference between "the characters are taking these actions due to their personality and their role within the story" and "the characters are taking these actions because the authors are pushing their personal biases and bigotry into the text"

#.txt #like people complain about their own fandoms and their inability to analyze the text #but i'm fully convinced in all my years of being in the warriors fandom. that the warriors fandom is the fucking king at being dumb as hell #you are not immune to propaganda. and in this case the propaganda is misogyny and anti Indigenous racism #anyway the erins are pieces of shit and so is h*rper c*llins and if i see you giving any of these fuckers money you're on my hit list <3

[arrow-guy]

I get to take a little vacation with my partner this weekend and I'm so fucking excited I cannot contain myself

#erin rambles #please do not take my lack of punctuation as evidence against my excitement i do that for comedic purposes #HOWEVER #i am in fact jazzed as all hell to go out of town with my fella #its not something that we get to do #and by it i mean sleep in the same bed for more than three hours at a time #THREE WHOLE NIGHTS BABEY #i have won #my mother has lost #also she has a problem with me calling my boyfriend my partner bc apparently it makes it sound like im gay #LITTLE DOES SHE KNOW #its so much worse than that #i exist under microlabels she couldnt comprehend #and i dont feel like explaining it to her bc she'll complain

[dddomenstarstwst1]

ily

Ily too 🤭 you're making me blush, don't stop

#erin talks #that was sudden but I ain't complaining

[residents-of-the-darkforest]

yea stormstar def seems like a tough case ... cuz on one hand he seems like hell cat material but Also starclan let ashfur into heaven so who knos what their morals even r tbh ?? :p

if anything i think that if ur struggling too hard w this then u could always just keep him as a wandering spirit or put him inside of the tunnels w marrowpaw

oh, yeah I could do that!

the idea of him interacting with Marrowpaw.... like he's afraid but too tough to admit it so he's like those animals that fluff up when something scary nears them. Snarling to keep away while also subtly backing away

#notaresident #stormstar #marrowpaw #yeah that was a really bad choice #I feel like part of the reason the Erins made him a new bad guy was because so many complained about it

[thschei]

Okay after this I'll write up the thing about my brain, I keep trying to keep it concise but end up writing too much, and I'd like to just make a short post about it now and then I can go back and do a more detailed read-more post later, but first I want to reward myself by being little a petty, as a treat

#erin talks #text #I'm gonna . put a screenshot instead of name the thing bc I really don't want to attract fans to get on my ass for complaining about #a nostalgia-tinged song that . hm also came out the year my dad died . I can be annoyed about that one bc I'm tired of that song #I could never be tired of you 2nd story album th/anatos

[mockingspider]

okay as much as I love the people who risk it to film a musical, I have 1 thing to complain about. and that is that they dont give enough attention to the ensemble and stage effects. like they always focus on the person or the people who are in the spotlight for that scene. like let me cry and scream over stage effects god damit

#Erin complaining about musical theater things for the 4387639 time
