#first time watcher

[drelizabethgreene]

Hello 9-1-1 fans! I appreciate all the engagement in my posts so far. Been a lover of small fandoms for a while, but it’s nice to be welcomed to a bigger, more active group! I just try to avoid spoilers since I’m only on S2. :)

Couples I’m most interested in seeing: Maddie/Chim and more Athena/Bobby. And I do see the Eddie/Buck chemistry!

Favorite character so far: Athena, but I’m biased because I liked Angela Bassett in ER.

Next episode up: 2x9, Hen Begins (I can’t wait for all the Begins episode)

Fanfic: No 9-1-1 fics yet, but if you want to check out what I do in other fandoms, feel free to browse my AO3. My main fanfic fandoms are ER, SVU, and The Resident.

There is nothing more satisfying then watching your close friend go blindly into one you obsessions. My coworker just started Campaign 2 of Critical Role and is currently on episode 4 letting me know the following.

1. She thinks Taliesin looks like he’s having a great time playing Molly and it’s one of her top 3 characters (the other 2 being Jester and Yasha. Fjord is also growing on her more and more with each episode)

2. She thinks Nott and Caleb are a cute couple and ships them. Wants to know if they get together

3. She saw the Wired Critical Role video with the top google search results for the cast and learned many people think Liam/Sam are a couple. Only took her maybe an hour to understand why 😂

I know I just joined the scream fandom like 2 days ago and just barely started watching the movies.

Does Scream 2022 give anyone else fanfic vibes? Like a lot of the old characters have kids now, like Randy's niece and nephew and they gave Billy a daughter which is believable, to some extent.

Apparently she was conceived on prom night. But didn't the original movie take place while the characters were in high school. Sydney mom was killed before the story so Sydney would have been 16/17 and when the story starts it's a year later and Sydney is 17/18 wouldn't Billy be the same age as Sydney, what was he even doing at prom? I don't doubt he would cheat on Sydney..

The timeline just confuses me.

Wouldn't he have been dead by prom?!

It could just be me, but I'm not getting the same vibe from OG scream to the 2022 scream, which makes sense because their directed by two different people.

I'm watching atla with my friend and it's their first time, how do I get them into it? I don't know how to explain how amazing the character development and show is without spoiling it. (We've finished the second episode btw)

recently finished reading the hunger games trilogy

and i finally came around to watching the first movie this week. and can i just say. it was so bland? like... i haven't read any reviews or such yet, but god. i had to pause it every now and then and talk to my boyfriend about the things they completely blundered on (luckily, he's previously both read it and seen the movies so it wasn't ruining his experience too much haha)

but just. it was incredibly surface level. the relationships between characters that were suppsed to mean a lot to the viewers just weren't there AT ALL.

it was actually kind of fun to compare the way the characters looked to how i saw them when i read it. and it was kinda weird cause most of them looked completely different from how i'd imagined. like, especially president snow(!!!) and katniss family, and oh my god gale and peeta too... it was interesting. to say the least

but yeah, it was kinda mid. almost felt like a parody in a way? the movie really didn't have enough time to build up the things the book had, but oh well. that's is to be expected. just a little disappointing. i did really like the way the people in the capitol looked though!!

i'll watch the rest with my bf over the holidays, so we'll see if the 2nd and 3rd can make up for the first one. it's still fun to watch even though it's so far from what i was hoping for.

Okay all my thoughts because some people have been saying that not supporting this change is not supporting artist and creators and as an artist fuck that.

1. Audiences owe you nothing. You have to convince them to engage with your creation not the other way around. This is something both the nonprofit theatre I work with recognizes and huge companies realize. It's just part of life. There are so many talented people in the world making amazing art, videos, music, writings, and on and on, and there's only so much time in the day. I'm not saying you shouldn't know your worth, just that being flippant about how little you care about those who can't pay isn't a good move. On that note...

2. PR is everything. If you haven't made a visible effort to push patreon, channel memberships or other avenues of making money, don't be suprised that your creation that was previously accessible to those without extra cash and to those who can't support foreign subscriptions due either to conversions or because it simply doesn't work, being made private isn't popular. There's a big leap from "We want to have more artistic control" to "We can't afford to make our content accessible to most of our audience," and people are smart enough to see this. You either have to make budget cuts or give into sponsors. This isn't unique to Watcher, it's part of literally every production from broadway, to Hollywood, to YouTube. Unless you can fund it yourself or get viewers to pay(which given how many are already strapped for cash...) that's life.

Not to mention they simply do not have enough followers to make the switch to a paid only site(dropping the first epsiode only on YouTube isn't going to draw people in, they're just going to say "oh why start if I'm not going to see the rest" and not watch) especially not one that is buggy and a security risk. Even if the switch had been supported its not going to end well. The only reason services like nebula and dropout work is because of the large amount of series and creators and the fact those creators still are partly on YouTube so new people are drawn in.

3. As for the price, 6 dollars a month is a not a good starting price for only their content and that's as someone who pays for nebula. I'd be paying the same amount for a fraction of the access to others work. Actually it'd be twice as much. And before someone says "it's only a coffee-" that's for you. Not everyone has your lifestyle. And with every other patreon and subscription service that says the same thing, it all adds up and I simply don't think 60 dollars for 48 videos a year on a subscription basis where you don't get to keep the videos if your situation changes, some of which don't appeal to every viewer is a good move. If you were able to buy physical copies of your favorite series they've made that'd be different, but that's not what this is.

4. I do believe that the employees deserve a livable wage. I also did not hire them. It is not on the viewers that they hired more people than they could afford to. They can charge that much if they want to to try and balance this out. They also shouldn't be suprised if not many can or will sign up. They also don't have to be based in L.A. L.A has ridiculous costs associated with it, and quite honestly it doesn't really add much to the content. I'm not saying they need to move to the middle of nowhere Kansas. Simply that living and basing your studio in a super expensive city and then being suprised money is tight is just weird.

5. Something that occurs to me is that they might get more views if their playlists were better set up. Only some series are given playlists. It'd be easier to find all of the series and binge them if they didn't just show off their more popular shows. Honestly the only draw the streaming site has to me is that the series are actually labeled well.

Do I think the weird ass energy towards Steven is necessary? No. He's not the only one at the company and they're all adults. I actually liked grocery run and homemade, and like to see them back. The parascoial attachment to Ryan and Shane is annoying in people's criticisms, but that doesn't make them completely wrong. If you're going to brand yourself as the anti capalist underdogs you can't get away with being dismissive of your poorer fans. The dissonance is what is causing this backlash and makes you look like hypocrites. I definitely think Steven is turning into the fall guy which is fucked up, his statement and the fact dish granted is one of those shows that make people uncomfortable about wealth flexs doesn't help matters.

#watcher #they really need a CEO who has business experience first and foremost or at the very least a consultant they actually listen to #they also should put more focus on other personalities and actual give them a chance to stick. none of them got famous or a fanbase in a day #give some of the others time to grab attention

Me, at the start of the video, scanning the timeline to see what the sections are about: Oh hey, there's a lot of James Somerton in the second half. I can see a bunch of shots in the preview window of him casually speaking into a mic so they're probably talking over a video call. It's cool that these two video essay creators I watch are collabing like this. Bit odd that James doesn't seem to appear in the first half though.

Me, having now finished the video: I am going to kill James Somerton with my bare hands.

#hbomberguy #as a casual watcher of James' videos since subbing in April last year I was completely unaware of the controversies #so this is the first time I'm hearing about any of this #but jesus christ what the fuck

Don’t think about recently ascended Grian still not being used to his wings. Don’t think about Grian forgetting to shake the loose feathers out of his wings, or ignoring the feeling of them getting stuck together. Don’t think about his mum finding out, sitting him down, and preening his wings like a bird. Don’t think about him melting into the warm touch, loving the feeling of being cared for. Don’t think about it.

too late ! i'm gonna think abt it !!

It does take Grian awhile to get used to his new wings, plus the recovery of them ripping out his back.

Sometimes he flutters them for no reason, just bc its a new sensation, a new limb, its a weird thing ! He has to do daily wing exercises/stretches to get used to controlling them. They twitch in his sleep sometimes.

She does preen his wings and shows him how to do it, much like a mother shows Her kid how to brush their teeth or hair, everyones gotta learn somewhere.

She sticks the old fallen feathers in his hair

Sometimes Grian does lean into the affection, most of the time he'll be upset abt being treated like a kid, but sometimes its nice to be praised for your efforts or just taken care of, like having someone brush your hair. He's like a feral cat that only occasionally accepts pets haha

I've decided to watch all the scream movies for the first time and I never realized that the fictional movie series Stab happened because of the original scream movie. I thought the Stab series was just around at the start.

I guess that's why I thought Drew Barrymore and whoever played her boyfriend in the first movie weren't really dead.
