Funny how The Young Bucks, from what I've gathered as a casual fan, have always incorporated comedy in their wrestling or have not shunned the less than serious aspects of wrestling, and because of this people have taken to disparaging them, their gimmick and their show 'Being The Elite'. Despite their wrestling, their gimmick AND their show being immensely popular and clearly enjoyed by a multitude of people The Bucks are still discounted as performers and told to grow past the comedy act and be "real wrestlers" (which in this sport is an oxymoron but I'ma let it rock). So, for not the first time, they're turning heel. What does this entail? Infighting with their closest friend, darker gear, and no more BTE.
But now, folks are in the comments of BTE, on twitter, forums, and blog posts lamenting the unceremonious ending of 'Being The Elite' as if they had no part in this decision. Kayfabe or not, it had to be frustrating to do what you've done for the last twenty years, see it get recognition and then have that recognition turn to ashes in your mouth because every little booking decision that doesn't go the way that fans want ends up being your fault. So then you're special thing, which you've been doing for your entire life gets eroded by this perception of yourselves Super Evil Ultranarcassist Bookers that you cannot shake no matter what. Someone gets fired, you get booed. Someone gets injured and pulled from a match, you get booed. One of your (former) members refuses to put himself over and...you/he gets booed. Eventually, I'd get tired of it. I'd get tired of people claiming that they HAVE to watch my silly little YouTube show in order to understand the storylines of wrestlers who aren't even ON the show and very rarely ever have been, or of people claiming I'm booking myself as a champion when my win-loss record in the company I co-founded says otherwise. I'd be absolutely exhausted at those same people being disappointed in my win-loss record and almost daring me to use my power to book myself and my comrades better but I know if I do this then I will earn the ire of these discerning fans so I keep losing to be safe. I double down: cancel BTE, no official statements, no ending episode, just a tweet from a known associate going ,"Yeah they said they good on that shit fr fr...they might talk about it later idk".
It's likely because I can be a very spiteful person at times but even if this is all a work, I support The Young Bucks in taking a step back from BTE and any other extracurricular thing they do to connect with their fans and further their stories. No more Being The Elite until yall appreciate what it is and what it's done for the company.

For some reason I can’t get a multiple followers mod to work for Skyrim. I’ve tried three different ones, but Lydia and Deerkethus both refuse to follow me even if I dismiss Faendal and then ask them. I also tried resetting my follower count with the cheat command thing, but it’s still stuck. Lydia won’t even let me ask her to follow me anymore. I just don’t know.
On the bright side, while looking for a fix, I found a really good follower dialogue overhaul. Faendal has so much life now! He’s always got something to say! We just walked into a shop and completely unprompted he went “if it’s my fate to be ended by a dragon, so be it!” King.

I just want all of this to fucking stop and be over with already. I'm so tired of hurting. Haven't I suffered enough? Haven't I endured enough? I can't take this anymore. I want it to end.
