Every time YouTube nonsense happens I'm always like "I can't wait to see what Sergle says about this" because you're the only person I follow that talks about YouTube nonsense.

Please take this is an invitation for you to talk about the Watcher's apology video lol

I am a filthy youtube enjoyer so you can absolutely count on me and GODDDDDDDDDDD... I mean the apology is not NEARLY as funny as the blunder, so it hasn't kept my attention as much but like the obligatory upfront thing is that, like, it is good that they posted it, they apologized for being insensitive and whatever, they're not scraping their channel clean or going forward with their old plan to only post their shows on their own platform, and these are technically good and correct things, because they could have pretended not to notice all the negative feedback. So like, responding is good. BUT LIKE I HAVE QUESTIONS NOW... Because they took SO LONG to film and upload a video that basically is just "we fucked up, we're sorry, we're not gonna do that anymore", which doesn't exactly take a writer's room several days to cook, but I DIGRESS... They were quiet for long enough for everyone to LOOK REALLY CLOSE. After the initial reaction, people had time to do some pretty comprehensive cost breakdowns for their stuff, and for what they have to be pulling in from adsense, sponsored segments, patreon, merch, and touring Like, they'd need to be really mismanaging their finances, because they're doing very well for themselves, making good, stable money, and the vids they make are super duper advertiser friendly. SO... you take long enough without putting out a holder statement or a quick heel-turn apology or anything, it gives people more time to get comfortable with not liking you, and also to dig around and google things about you, or scrape up info/trivia about you to corroborate their new opinion of you. It gets personal, is what I mean. So pulling this move has still, at BEST, caused some permanent damage to their relationships with fans, in both directions. They all got a huge flood of negative feedback, and even a perfect, emotionally mature, non-entitled person would have a negative reaction to people being upset with them at such a high volume. But now they're gonna remember the things that people have said about them, and there's no way that at the very least, Steven isn't gonna feel spiteful about this. People TOTALLY unloaded on him (funny) (valid) about his evangelical christian conservative leaning tesla privileged out of touch boy gold flaked ice cream eating ways. He definitely is going to remember that ppl said they never liked him in the first place. As for Ryan and Shane, people didn't have any dirt on them, but they definitely still received a lot of angry messages from people, most of which will have been reasonable, but they're gonna remember the really really mean and intense ones. Anyway, they made a booboo dumb enough for jack to want to make a skit about it, so for that I'm very grateful, because I thought it was really really fucking funny

#it's no big deal and it's whatevs because it's Low Risk youtube scandal which is why I like it so much #but it still never fails to amaze me how much this didn't need to happen #like this would have been a totally preventable blunder. I can think of a million different ways to increase profit before trying this move #personally I think it's funny to mess up this badly because the Second Messup would be to respond REALLY quickly #You see it trending and you immediately need to act bc it will only get worse the longer you stay quiet #sergle answers #long post

Gonna need rwby fans to get with me on this one

i want to write this fic that's like — cowboy bakugou, late 1800's style LOL

with him as a leeeeetle bit older, spent his life in cattle drives, wanted to be a marshal at some point, but his health and injuries from his younger days made it hard 🥺 he doesn't settle down, doesn't have any kids though he's in his mid-30's, and — one day he gets a letter that toshinori dies.

it's really supposed to be deku's responsibility, but only god knows where he is. probably got the news and can't accept it, too chicken-shit to face it. yeah, it tears katsuki up inside, too, but someone has to stick around in musutafu and help figure out his estate, the ranch.

help figure out you.

toshinori married in his late age, an ad he put out on the paper. bought you, as katsuki has always said, though the older man would always just smile wryly at the comment, look around at his extensive acreage, his horses and cattle, and he'd say,

"i only want someone to share this with, young man, do you understand?"

and he didn't. he really, really didn't. especially because you were younger than even bakugou, fresh-faced, hardly knew how to cook anything decent or how to ride a horse. waste of money, in katsuki's eyes.

but when he arranges his feelings right, he meets you on the ranch and — you're scared, because you're now a widowed woman and everyone and their mama wants a piece. you have the money, now, to upkeep the place but you've never done it by yourself. have learned more in the few years you've been married but it's a big place, a big responsibility.

and when katsuki hears that the bank wants to take it all from you, he's all, "over my dead fuckin' body."

it's really all deku's responsibility, since he and toshinori were closer, but you need someone now. and if bakugou has to stay in the house with you and help with the ranch, make sure no one comes to bother you—

then he'll do it. because that's what the old man would've wanted.

#HE'S GRUMPY !!! #dealing with all his own grief from all might's death 🥺 #he comes to visit the first day and you invite him in and he has to excuse himself to the bathroom #because he's GONE and bakugou HATES IT #hates that he wasnt here #hates that DEKU isnt here #hates that the leeches in town are trying to dismantle everything toshinori built #just for profit #but what he hates MOST OF ALL #is YOU #when you light all the candles in the house after the sun falls #when you cook for him and it's much better than he remembered #when you peek into his room to tell him goodnight #when you're in his dreams doing the same — only you're inviting yourself into his bed #and he's letting you #WAAHHH #grumpy older cowboy I HATE HIM #blast from the past: hiatus q #✿ willow writes #✿ thoughts: bakugou #✿ theme: cowboy bakugou

YIBO IS TRULY THE BEST BOY. It’s not a secret that he loves dancing and would do everything to promote it. Especially street dance, he’s done so much to make sure it gets a good reputation in CHN and looked at as something cool instead of a negative. In SDC Season 5, I lost count of how many times he was talking about breakdance being part of the asian games and the olympics. and it’s not even “promo” — you can see that he is genuinely excited. Even before that, his message was always, as a dancer, one must compete globally.

So reading this post by the director of the promo for Asian Games is another proof of that. He is really someone who puts his time, money and talent into things that he is passionate about. Truly less of a “celebrity” and more of a role model 🤍

Thanks to the general director for their appreciation, the Asia Organizing Committee, and the Zhejiang Street Dance Association support. This is a public welfare film, everyone supports and pays no matter the cost. Yibo also paid a lot of money and fully cooperated with my unrestrained strategy. Plan and shoot like a special forces soldier.

As a young director who has only made movies (even a bit artistic), When the leader found me, I thought we were going to collaborate on a short film. All planning and storyboarding are prepared according to the movie.

One month before the start of the film, I learned a good news and a not-so-good news. The not-so-good news is: the leader characterized the film as a public service announcement (budget is limited and narrative techniques cannot be adapted from movies). The good news is: even if you only have a small budget, there is someone who loves street dance. A good dancer is willing to co-star. After knowing this, I was low on budget for a long time and there was not enough to complete the concept.

Then Wang laoshi contacted us through the studio and recommended a choreographer. We chose the dance soundtrack together and even expressed our full cooperation. Wang laoshi is much busier than me, as everyone else is. What else can we say? Risk it and Keep up the good work!

The similarities between Julius Caesar’s assassination and the Ides of Marsh are well documented in fandom. It’s also generally agreed that the fall of the Night’s Watch will mirror the fall of the Roman Republic, which was quite ironically brought on by Caesar’s death. But I never see it acknowledged that Julius Caesar, some time after the establishment of Octavian’s Augustus’ rule, became deified (meaning that he was worshipped as a god or to put it bluntly, Julius Caesar ascended to godhood).

What does this have to do with Jon Snow? Well, apotheosis (1, 2) is one of the most important stages that comes towards the end of a hero’s journey. Here, the hero reaches some higher level of understanding or personhood, and this allows them to complete the hardest trials still to come in their journey. We see mental changes, but these could also be accompanied by physical changes. A good example of this in high fantasy is Gandalf’s death and return as Gandalf the White. In other myths and stories, we can point to the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. In ASOIAF, we have mini versions of this with Bran Stark and Jojen Reed, two children who experience life or death situations but came back with heightened magical power (Bran especially).

Jon Snow is currently at his “journey to the underworld”/“belly of the whale” moment, where he is to (presumably) face his greatest trials. Apotheosis usually comes after this stage (and is often preceded by other stages such as the “meeting of the goddess” and “atonement with the father”, both of which could very well appear in Jon’s journey as he learns of his true identity and purpose).

But what would apotheosis mean for Jon? That’s the key question. He is sure to experience profound mental changes and trauma, but these are sure to be accompanied by great magical changes that manifest physically. In the same way that Bran came out of his coma and started his journey as the last greenseer (well, once Bloodraven kicks the bucket), Jon is sure to come out of his death experience a far more powerful being. The thing is that Jon needs to change into the hero Westeros needs and the magical act of dying and coming back to life should play a role in that.

However, it won’t all be fine and dandy for him. GRRM has criticized Gandalf’s return where he seemingly came back to life better than ever with no great effects. In the same way that Jon is literally experiencing a descent into the underworld (a step that is sometimes figurative for many modern heroes), we can also ascertain that he will experience a very literal ascension into godhood (or the closest thing we have to that in ASOIAF). But magic always comes with a price. And whatever sort of “god” Jon turns into post-resurrection, he won’t be a very pretty one.

#asoiaf #valyrianscrolls #jon snow #I didn’t have space for this in the post but I think we’re bound to see an anti parallel at work with jon and euron greyjoy #euron very much wants to become a god - heck he has a whole spiel about being worshipped like one #but euron will likely be a false god #the way stannis will likely be a false savior #but SOMEONE has to be the real deal right…? #and if you’re like me and you believe jon will attain his hero’s boon - aka lightbringer #then it’s probably gonna be #belly of the whale (death) > meeting the goddess/atonement with the father (learning rlj) > #return to the living > apotheosis > ultimate boon (finally forging lightbringer and proving himself to be azor ahai) > ?? > kinghood/profit #yeah idk #julius caesar #historical parallels #the heros journey #lit analysis

[charlescoded]

I'm neutral about mpreg charles until the video and you mentioning all the mpreg charles plots, arranged marriage and omegaverse vampire. Your vision is sooooooo good! But what I like the most is max kneeling and kissing charles pregnant belly. I'd sell my kidneys to read this scene.

im soooo not neutral about it, im incapable of being normal about it actually lmao, but glad you liked the ideas! i have many more, but most i'll keep contained in my head or the dms for safe keeping

so yeah, anyway, this took me 50 minutes to write, but here you go, it's based on the lestappen arranged marriage idea:

-

Charles lets out a loud groan as soon as the door slams closed behind him. He leans back against the dark wood and scrubs his hands over his face, frustration leaking out of him. When he drops his hands they slide past the now obvious bump of his stomach. He looks down and grimaces. Maybe it was a mistake after all, maybe he should—

He flinches when someone knocks on the door. Charles grits his teeth before replying, “Go away.” He shouts. They’d fought enough today, and Charles had no intention on continuing the conversation. All they ever did was call him reckless, or a fool, or a whore, or everything all at once. 

“I just wish to know whether you’re alright, my prince,” A soft voice says, and Charles rips the door open in sudden haste. Max stands on the other side of the door, armour moulded to his body in all the right places, a worried frown adorning his face, and Charles is distracted for a moment.

“I’m fine,” He says once Max closes the door behind him. “Just frustrated. They were complaining about how they’ll never be able to marry me off to some other old guy when I already have a kid.”

Max’s gaze is calculated. “It was not just that, was it?”

It’s a rhetorical question. Max must have heard something while he stood guard. Charles deflates. “Yes, well, they were calling me selfish and incapable of putting the people of my country first when I act like this, but what else is new…”

When Max extends his hand, in offer, in question, Charles takes it. Max guides him to the side of the bed. “Sit, my prince,” He murmurs. Charles gives him a dirty look but does as he’s told. Max kneels down in front of him and Charles allows him to take off his boots. Max presses a soft kiss on the inside of his knee. “They’re wrong about you,” He whispers. Blue eyes pierce through Charles and he shudders under the attention. “You’re far more capable of compassion than they ever will be.”

Charles swallows dryly. “Not that it matters. They’re the ones in power.”

He watches as Max slides the soft material of his hose down his thighs, unable to look away. He bites his lip. “They’re not, that’s why they’re angry you’re not listening to them.”

Max leans forward and trails his lips up his leg and towards his crotch. Heat pools in his stomach. “I must listen to them or it will harm my people, Max, you know this.”

When Max shakes his head, Charles sits up straight to protest, but his voice falters when Max places his hand over the swell of his stomach. “You’re not, Charlie,” The soft nickname sends a shiver down his spine. “Your baby—our baby—, that is your proof. You can go against them, you have, they cannot harm you.”

“But,” Charles places his hand over Max’s. “They could harm the baby.”

Max shakes his head. “That would be stupid of them, you could easily get pregnant again.”

It’s so blunt that Charles can’t help but smile. “Would you?”

“Would I what?”

His smile grows. “Get me pregnant again?”

“Of course,” Max’s hands slips under his shirt, sliding it up to expose his stomach. He leans forward and presses butterfly kisses along the expense of skin. “I’d give you as many children as you want.”

Charles licks his lips, arousal growing. “Yeah? Maybe we should start to practice then…”

The corners of Max’s eyes crinkle as he smiles up at him. Then, for a moment, he turns serious. “I would protect you, you know, you and the baby, always. No harm will befall any of you.”

“I know.” Charles whispers, and he means it. Whatever mistakes he might have made, choosing Max wasn’t one of them.

I actually think it's evil that youtube has gone back to playing ads on demonetized videos.

#nerd³ has been demonetized for years #it was a choice he made because he was tired of dealing with youtube's constant bullshit #and youtube has fucked over incomes so much that he wasn't making anywhere near what he should've been anyway #so he chose to have his channels completely demonetized so that he could just focus on making content #and that meant that his channels had no ads at all no matter how long they were #and over the last month or so that has completely changed and his videos have ads again #and apparently that's true for other demonetized channels now too #which is real fucked up that youtube is denying people an income from their videos #and then turning around and profiting off of those same videos

I just learned Rammatra's character (design and lore) is actually just a rip off of two Argentinian fans' overwatch oc named Voltikko. Made months before Ramattra was released. Never contacted or compensated for thier work.

Blizz is using Ramattra to sell overpriced skins and further predatory monetization, and worse yet they are monetizing STOLEN WORK this way.

https://twitter.com/MarioKMentasti/status/1589124322937143296?t=z0E8Y_vn_JNVaBvVJcfZJw&s=19

Seriously what the hell. There is NO WAY that Ramattra wasn't lifted from Voltikko's design, the big extra arms, face + cord hair, and Ramattra's construction skin, and lore bites, are all lifted from Voltikko's design and lore created by two fans. The way I honestly thought it was paid concept art just to realize no, it was stolen from.

#ramattra #omnic #omnics #eff blizz #Overwatch #overwatch 2 #ow #ow2 #Rams extra arms popping always felt odd bc usually characters have animations to explain it. ie dva out of mech or bastion reconfigured. #nuh uh that was added last minute #blizz is scummy to profit off of stolen work like that #they two ops live in argentina and speak english as a second language so they may not have easy access to legally dealing with this theft #such bs #im mad #ram was like the only main thing that got me excited for ow lore #the only way i am touching lore is to check in on zens future lore #im so mad rn fr

It never ceases to amaze me how shockingly cruel people are willing to be for money. Just, they get a paycheck and turn off the part of their brain that makes them see other humans as real people. Evil.

[rollercoasterwords]

I have, a genuine question for you. Do you acknowledge the racism in the original AYTD or at least know about it? Like how MsKingBean uses slurs and racist stereotypes?

hey, so, i'm a bit apprehensive about answering this because...it doesn't feel like a very geniune question to me, if i'm being honest. "do you acknowledge x thing" is a question that is inherently set up so that i'm meant to answer "yes, i acknowledge that x thing is true," because the alternative is saying "no, i don't acknowledge that x thing is true," which is already framing this interaction as if to disagree with you would be a kind of failure on my part to do some due diligence of engaging critically with a text. and the fact that you say mskingbean89 used slurs in atyd shows me that you haven't even engaged with the text, because that simply...isn't true.

if what you're referring to when you say "slurs" is the anti-romani stereotypes--this is coming from an extra chapter in the bootleg tapes focusing on greyback, where there is a slur used to describe his living situation + he + his family were portrayed as nomadic irish people in a way that was insensitive. people who read that chapter and then went back to the canon story with that characterization in mind rightfully pointed out that it was fucked-up. mskingbean89 addressed those criticisms by adding this note to the beginning of that bootleg chapter:

personally, i think this was a good way to take accountability + acknowledge the mistakes she made with that portrayal. she was a human being who made an ignorant mistake, which then just happened to get absolutely blasted to millions of people--she did not have sensitivity readers or editors looking over her fanfiction, because she did not write it expecting it to reach the level of popularity that it has. to be honest, i am not really sure how she could have better acknowledged her mistake, aside from just....not having made it in the first place. she explains her intentions without acting as though that intent cancels out harm, owns up to the fact that the stereotyping was harmful regardless of intention, and provides resources to learn while also committing to be more mindful + educate herself moving forward. honestly, that's exactly the response i would hope to see from someone who makes a mistake like this one.

i agree with you that people reading atyd should acknowledge + understand the racism regarding romani stereotypes stemming from that bootleg chapter, which is why i think it's great that there is a note literally built into the beginning of that chapter acknowledging it! but i feel as though there's been this like...game of telephone happening online when it comes to atyd, where there are now people who have never even read the story talking about things that quite literally do not appear in the base text itself. i've also seen people acting as though mkb herself did not address these issues when they were raised to her, which is just...patently false.

and so what i'm wondering here is what you're looking for from me when you ask a question like "do you acknowledge the racism in atyd." anyone who actually reads the texts has to acknowledge the racism in that bootleg chapter, because mkb puts that acknowledgment front and center at the beginning. and also like...in the part of the fandom i'm in, in the conversations i've listened to or taken part of regarding atyd, people have acknowledged the issues with that bootleg chapter and the ways it reflects back on the main story. so what do you mean by "acknowledge" when so many people, including mkb herself, have already... acknowledged it? what action are you calling for, and who are you calling for it from?

because like. if what u actually want to say here is that atyd is Irredeemably Problematic and we should all like....shun it? universally agree that it's Bad? then it's just like. it is up to each individual reading the story to decide whether that specific portrayal of greyback in the bootleg chapters is something that ruins the story completely for them or whether they still think the story as a whole holds worth. personally, i feel like i can acknowledge that there are issues with mkb's portrayal of greyback and i need to be mindful of that when reading the story so as not to internalize harmful stereotypes while still finding atyd to be a masterpiece that really beautifully deals with a lot of nuanced issues regarding class and disability and systems of power. this is just part of thinking critically when you read; many famous and beloved works of fiction contain the biases of their authors or have mistakes or issues in the way they portray things that are a product of ignorance. and i know everyone reading marauders fanfiction should understand this, because if u genuinely think that a character being negatively stereotyped means u should throw the entire work in the trash, then none of u would be touching harry potter fanfiction with a five foot pole in the first place.

so, anon - if you have actually read atyd, and there are issues with racism that you have found that i am unaware of, and not just telephone-game twitter posts of people taking shit out of context that you're accepting as truth without bothering to engage with the work yourself--if you want to have a real conversation about it, i would invite you to come to me as an actual person and not an anonymous ghost in my inbox. my dms are open, but when it comes to talking about serious issues, i tend to find it more genuine if the person coming to me actually cares enough and believes in what they're saying enough to say it as themself. and if you haven't read atyd and are just parroting things you've heard other people say online then i would invite you to actually sit down and read the work and form your own opinions on it before getting back to me. i know that might sound harsh, but honestly i'm just completely fed-up at this point with all the bad-faith takes and misinformation that i've seen people spreading about atyd just because they think it's cool to dislike a popular thing.

#mkb is literally a human being who never intended for her story to get as popular as it has #i think the people who villainize her for likes on their twitter posts seem to forget that #and i'm not going to take part in some sort of smear campaign being run by people who brag about not even having read the story #i'm happy to acknowledge issues i find in a work. but i typically do that privately. in conversations with other people who have read it #because as i have said a million times there is never a reason for publicly shitting on fics regardless of how popular they get #it's not like mkb is profiting in any way from her story. in fact she has literally had to deal with awful harassment #and most of the 'critiques' i see about atyd are either bad-faith criticism or things that literally are not true. so!! #here's ur acknowledgment anon but if what ur looking for is for me to condemn mkb....sorry but that's not happening #i love atyd and think it's an amazing work of fiction. and i think mkb did a beautiful job exploring + portraying #many nuanced + sensitive issues. if u read the work and feel differently that's fine! #but that doesn't change the fact that it's fanfic....and that u should address any problems u have with it with fic etiquette in mind #ask #ranting and raving

what's the worst audio i can use for an edit? i was thinking of jerma singing ohh the treachery but i want options

#umg pulled all their songs from tiktok so now ppl are making their usual edits to like wii shop music and classical songs #bc it's endlessly infuriating to spend hours making something in the audiovisual form FOR FUN for NO profit #and have the audio removed for copyright. on a clip that lasts about 30 seconds. of which the music plays under 30 seconds. #and ok yeah tiktok sucks but so does umg #they were like ''we care about our small artists so we're pulling their music away from the app and if we dont get #a better deal we'll pull everything'' and they did. #first of all how is stopping ppl from using songs from smaller artists good for them. do you guys have any idea how many #songs get popular bc of edits or dances or something #i'm no artist but i'd be happy if someone made a trend to a song of mine and it suddenly got popular #but idk i'm no expert on the matter i'm just someone mildly inconvenienced by my hobby getting fucked over #leevi talks #that being said tiktok should still remove their art and sound ai stuff
