The term “filler episode” is blatantly misused in fandom spaces and it's really goddamn annoying.
In the book "Manga and Anime Go to Hollywood: The Amazing Rapidly Evolving Relationship Between Hollywood and Japanese Animation, Manga, Television, and Film," by Northrop Davis, Davis explains the that concept of a “filler episode” in animation comes to us from anime adaptations of manga. Anime is frequently produced at a faster rate than manga, which means that anime adaptations of manga often have to come up with their own “filler” stories to slow down the pacing of the main narrative, because the manga isn’t finished yet.
"Filler" does not mean "low-stakes episode that doesn't progress the main plot." Filler does not mean "character moments that you did not like." "Filler" does not mean "anything that isn't breakneck-paced main plot."
It's a specific term and you are misusing it.

Pyromiru is real and almost complete
After about a month in the works, Pyromiru is happening on a youtube near you (in the near future). Can't believe I'm actually finishing this...I don't think I've ever undertaken a video project this big, especially not one using SFM.
Shoutout to the other chirumiru tf2 parodies who absolutely inspired this one, check em out!

Oh my god S2 episode 4…
THERE’S SO MUCH JELLY MOMENTS AAAHHHHH IM SO HAPPYYYYYYY
I’m getting a feeling that Steven is starting to like Taylor bc he makes fun of her bf and he doesn’t like him so he seems a bit jealous and I’m not really in favor of them being together bc that ship has already sailed. Taylor had feelings for him the summer before and now she doesn’t and she has a bf who seems to make her happy.
I cannot believe that Aunt Julia had the audacity to clean the house out of all the furniture like at least give them time to pack up their things!! They’ve probably now lost some of their important belongings and other things that mean a lot to them like Belly’s Junior Mint plushie.
Btw, I love that Belly chose the giraffe plushie as her prize when she beat Conrad at the Basketball shooting game instead of another Junior Mint polar bear bc even back when Conrad got her the Junior Mint she originally wanted the giraffe so I love that she’s actually choosing things that she wants that don’t have anything to do with Conrad.
I feel like all the delulu Conrad x Belly shippers will see that part in the episode where Belly thinks to herself “Him being so sweet like this reminds me of why I loved him” and think that this means they’ll get back together but she ends up holding hands with Jeremiah on the Tower of Terror so there’s no chance that she and Conrad will get back together. I love that Belly is simply just reminiscing about how she used to love Conrad bc it means that she is (hopefully) ready to move on and start something new with Jeremiah.
