#I too oscillate between “mcc mcc mcc mcc and deep dives into the inherent value of time and existence

Can I drop a quick Shubble appreciation post? Because that woman means everything to me.

Shelby is an icon and an inspiration. I started watching her in 2017 or so before kinda falling out of her side of YouTube for a bit, and first reconnected with her content when I saw her as the thumbnail of Anthony Padilla’s video on asexuality. A couple things of note here:

My name is also Shelby

I have a very similar disposition to Shubs and related to her heavily, even when only seeing her in others’ content

I’m also asexual and this video was one of the first times I saw my orientation getting any proper acknowledgment

Anyway, Shelby is a freaking legend and I love her so much. She will always hold a special place in my heart as the first content creator I knew of that had the same sexuality as me and was open about it publicly.

Personal relatability aside, Shubble is just an amazing human being. Shelby is so funny and talented and has such infectious energy. She is such a positive and uplifting presence but she still manages to feel so unabashedly real. A lot of the time afab people with softer aesthetics and higher voices are treated as though they aren’t capable of being serious or worthy of legitimate respect, but Shelby effortlessly commands attention with her genuineness and her quick wit.

Anyway, I love Shelby so much and this whole ramble was spurred on by me seeing these two tweets back to back and (once again) being half-convinced we’re the same person
