[Update] No Imagine

I know I said I would have an imagine up today or sometime tomorrow, but I haven’t even started, and now I lost the drive to do that no thanks to a sudden upset that happened last night. I feel cornered and like I am not sure how or what is considered ‘too taboo’ to respond to when it comes to my asks, as I don’t want to upset this person again; especially when they went so far as to threaten to delete their blog and sever the main thing we use to talk to one another.

All I can say is, I had to get used to these acts—I had to get used to feeling used, walked on, cheated, used as a platform to get somebody’s OC/Canon ideas more likes and views, stolen from in terms of headcanons and stuff I already touched upon in my imagines for people to garnish more praise and notes on their own blog—it’s not fun, no, but if I didn’t bury my head in the sand in regards to most of it, I would have left months ago.

To be honest with you, this is why I don’t surf the Jacob Frye tag on Tumblr. This is why I never go out of my way to look at art or fanfics of him, because I just don’t want something to upset me. I’ve even had to go out of my way to name block on my savior somebody in this fandom who upset me way before they even watched me, and now that their name is nearly everywhere and nearly on everything Jacob Frye, I just cannot even watch some people because of it—I envy you folks for being able to see the good in this person; I truly do, but every time I see them, I just seethe with anger given the selfish vibe I get from them daily. Since it is not their fault (entirely), I just make sure never to bother them, but I still treat them with respect when they come to me.

All the same, it’s made being in this fandom SUPER hard because of them—mainly them, because of their actions and how they flip-flop from one thing to the next just to get likes, praise, and admiration. It’s a drug, I get it, but don’t use me, my thoughts, and my fics as a reference sheet for these things.

Also, people are just running out of ideas when it comes to Jacob Frye. I’ve recycled some of my own thoughts into love letters and sexual scenes, and some people treat it like it is new. They see ‘Jacob Frye’, and they forget what they’ve already seen 95% of the time, I feel (but then there are those that just make an interesting twist on it, so I guess it is easy to see it as ‘new’).

But, in every fandom I’ve been apart of, I’ve been stolen from in some fashion. Hell, I had a comic book idea of mine stolen from some guy in the UK back in 2004 when I was trying to work on it to be published (but the ideas were stale and my artwork and writing sucked back then, so I don’t count it a major loss—just a lesson not to show too much of my original work).

Yes, this fandom can suck—but there are people here that make it worthwhile, and I guess I was hoping to this person, I was one of them. It brought me to tears to see them think otherwise in their actions. They were and always will be the main reason I ever bothered to stay here.

If they left, I would lose their kind support and everything they’ve done for me. It was why I threatened to delete my blog in return if they did theirs. I just wouldn’t see a reason to continue without them, so I pray they reconsider their actions.

If not, well…I’m at a loss.

I will be working on mostly angsty things—artwork and, possibly, The Clockwork Soldier. There’s a scene in my head that’s been there wanting to get out, and it’s depressing enough to let me get my emotions through it.

Who's posting extreme 'terror pranks'?

Fake bombs, staged murders, stunts that resemble acid attacks – as competition for eyeballs on YouTube gets fiercer every day, popular vloggers are resorting to extreme pranks to get clicks.

Arya Mosallah’s video channel had more than 650,000 subscribers. But his YouTube career came skidding to a halt with a video titled “Throwing Water On Peoples Faces PT. 2”. In it, he approaches several people, and after a brief conversation, throws a cup of water in their faces.

Many viewers thought the prank in the video looked like an attempt by the British social media star to mimic an acid attack – amid a recent increase in such crimes in London and across the UK.

I cannot believe this is where we are at. To have a life that lacks to such a degree that for YouTube views you’d put someone through the panic and dread of an acid attack. How do you think? Immature and disgusting, childish and pathetic, sad and unfortunately all too real. https://t.co/UcIZCEy7rf

YouTube deleted Mosallah’s channel – and then a second channel he set up. He told the BBC he had not meant to reference acid attacks – but that he would continue to produce prank videos.

But Arya Mosallah is certainly not the first YouTuber to get into trouble for prank videos. His story, along with the controversy over hugely popular Youtuber Logan Paul joking about a suicide victim to his young audience, have called attention to extreme content on YouTube.

But although it appears to be on the rise – and is getting more coverage from news outlets – extreme pranking is not an entirely new phenomenon. For some time, vloggers have been faking bomb attacks and murders, tricking and frightening friends and members of the public in an attempt to up their view counts.

Extreme prank history

In 2016, four people involved in the YouTube channel Trollstation were jailed for staging a fake robbery at London’s National Portrait Gallery. They pleaded guilty to “threatening behaviour causing fear of unlawful violence.”

The previous year, British YouTuber Sam Pepper uploaded a video in which he pretended to kill another internet celebrity in front of an unsuspecting friend.

There was a huge backlash and Pepper later claimed the video had been staged, and that the apparently traumatised friend had been in on the stunt all along.

Perhaps the grandfather of extreme pranking is Vitaly Zdorovetskiy, whose YouTube channel gained notoriety in 2012 after he pretended to put a briefcase containing a bomb next to a stranger.

He was arrested for that and several other subsequent pranks and stunts. But YouTubers including Arya Mosallah, have been filming variations of his bomb prank ever since.

Speaking to Trending in 2015, Zdorovetskiy admitted pushing the boundaries of acceptable behaviour. He also seemed unclear about exactly where he would draw the line.

“I’m not going to take a gun on somebody point it and say ‘Give me your money, it’s a prank.’ I would not do anything illegal – maybe just a little bit.”

Logan Paul isn’t primarily known as a pranker, but has done similar stunts. In one video he faked his own violent death in front of a crowd of fans.

On Friday, YouTube suspended advertising on his channel. In a statement the company said that Paul had exhibited “a pattern of behaviour in his videos that makes his channel not only unsuitable for advertisers, but also potentially damaging to the broader creator community.”
