#Feeling Very Parasocial about this

[towards-toramunda]

ANYWAY in my campaign one watch through I just got to episode 109 which is the live show at 2017 gen con in Indianapolis and I just

I am feeling parasocially proud of these fucking nerds right now. Can you imagine telling 2017 Matt Mercer about the Wembley Arena live show from this past week?

This tweet makes me feel things, and I don’t know how to process it

im brainrotting so hard about husband shayne like he's actually married like for real after talking about being single and his bad dating experiences for so long and after working on himself for the better and he was really playing with his ring on stream and he's officially a cat father now and he looks so happy and he's glowing...

We joke about how Travis “showed up to Eras with a friendship bracelet and a dream” manifested his pop star-but-actually-biggest-cheerleader girlfriend, but how about Taylor “I've been on my knees, change the prophecy, don't want money, just someone who wants my company” manifesting her glued-to-the-hip-never-not-making-her laugh-football-player boyfriend????

Genuine question. Do you like or dislike Rob? Your posts tend to imply both feelings hahaha

Do I like Rob?

I feel really bad for having such an intense obsession with dan and phil even though i havent done anything online (or irl) that could actually impact them. like these people dont know me and all i think about is them. of course, a part of it is because its a hyperfixation but beyond that i do genuinely love them and that makes me feel like shit. why do i love these people? is that unhealthy? i mean, its in human nature, right? thats just what people do. of course, im aware that the "them" im referring to are the internet personalities that arent really them in their personal lives (which ill be honest i dont really care about unless they share it with us) but should i love them? the obsession hasnt caused any harm to anyone. in fact, it's saved me from truly hitting rock bottom. but should that be true? isnt it selfish and weird to put/have put my life in the hands of people who dont even know what my favourite colour is? but also i didnt have anything else at a time of complete depression so how is that weird? but also it just is, man. maybe??

fun question, fun answer, with a lot of neat points!

especially loved:

- the elaboration of its not that the personas we see are fake, or inauthentic, as much as it is that they are not an all encompassing or holistic representation of who they are as whole people

- Amanda apparently being equal parts "on" both on and off camera- cool :)

- Courtney highlighting that Arasha is really good at slipping into specific roles/personas depending on what the video needs

- Courtney + Amanda emphasizing how sweet Arasha is + how the video personas aren't fake but also don't showcase all of her as a peraon

- Explicit acknowledgement that there are definitely elements that are intentionally played into because they are on camera, especially little brain farts or dumb moments. Highlighting how those can become running jokes/a Big Thing but if it hadn't been a video it probably would have been glossed over.

- just the general discussion about how the personas/perceptions are intentional in a number of ways- they prep, drink energy drinks, choose to play into certain things for comedy. Not lies, but definitely not accidents.

- People being weird about Shayne/misconceptions due to perception of his video-persona.... :/

- Smosh Mouth helping break those perceptions/Shayne getting to be more himself on Smosh Mouth/it getting to reveal more of Shayne's depths and self. (as a smosh mouth lover i <3 this bit)

i hope you find your equally as sex-repulced saphic alien girlfriend one day and you go on adventures in domestic bliss with lots of cute chumbly seals to adore along the way.

that said:

"it's simple I just need a gf who will never ask anything of me, put up w/my infinite neuroses & psychotic behavior, never make me feel even slightly worse than usual, always say/do the right thing (& be fine w/me Not doing that), be ok w/not having sex except under rare hypothetical specific circumstances & only exactly the way I want it. she has to be attractive, have a decent income (flexible on that though), & be willing to tailor her whole personality & energy to my rapidly shifting moods. also must be cool w/my rampant trust issues, lack of relationship experience & avoidant attachment style. not to forget the necessity that when I inevitably get overwhelmed w/the relationship I can snap my fingers and she will disappear from existence for a few weeks or months in an instant, poof. like a phantom or perhaps a genie. other than that id say my standards aren't very high"

you sound exactly like what you claim to hate about males and that is.. concerning? disgusting? i have an ambivalence towards your stance on people. are you aware of your hypocrisy? best of luck in therapy and getting that alien sex repulced impossible standard girlfriend.

is this the first time you've encountered someone exaggerating for comedic affect or what

Just a little psa or warning or whatever, but in light of the Joe Quinn...."drama", i might be unfollowing some people. No offense meant. It's just that... i dont.... care??? About celebrities that way. Like... at all? But i keep seeing stuff about it.

And like i said, no offense meant at all here i just could not care less about it and i keep seeing it and like... y'all are stressin me the fuck out.

So if you've found that I've unfollowed you its just... cuz i dont wanna see that stuff. At all. So... yeah. Idk. I just didnt want anyone to notice and think they did anything serious or bad i just dont wanna see it.
