SFTH FAQ and Info Masterpost

This is kinda long so

sfth info:

General info

Sam and Tom’s last names being different sometimes

Shark Friend, Mr Wompa and Squidboi terms origins

the boys degrees

information about what you get with patreon

navigating patreon

Just a note that many sfth videos are subtitled (a decent amount in other languages too!!!) and the subtitlers are amazing!!!! They are credited in the video descriptions.

If you see any fake sfth accounts on any platforms try to report them!!! Unfortunately there’s a multitude of them on tiktok >:( and tiktok doesn’t let people report them (there’s an issue for some when you try to) Try to not suppourt or watch these stolen videos! Sfth are verified now!!! (If that’s easier for people to tell which is the real them :))

Obviously there’s no rules on tumblr but as a general courtesy to the guys, consider keeping in mind:

Not sharing links to patreon content if you’re a patreon (which is probably actually a patreon rule but I’m just assuming that) and keeping clips of patreon things under 2 minutes. Screenshots and discussions are fine!! (As some people have been wondering) though maybe consider tagging the original post with a patreon tag (like #sfthpatreon) so people who aren’t patreons and don’t want to see patreon stuff can filter it out.

Not sharing screenshots/links/clips/ect of the guys when they were younger unless it’s still on their actual sfth account or their own personal accounts. They’ve stated before that they don’t really want these shared and have taken some older videos down.

[I’m only saying this so that people are aware and keep it in mind and be informed!!! Not telling people what they can and can’t do!]

Also! The term is also a thing with shooting and so there’s occasionally (vary rarely) random posts of guns.

The term means to be spontaneous or act without thinking- hence why sfth chose the name. (They even chose the name spontaneously!!)

for sfth fans who don't know: shoot from the hip is also a photography technique where the photographer doesn't raise the camera to their eye and instead just holds the camera in their hand at waist level (hence "shooting from the hip"), which is usually used by street photographers to create more natural sceneries without drawing too much attention to themselves

so if you see a random photography post in this tag, that's why :]

question! i'm considering getting sfth patreon and like worth? i adore their content and have exhausted everything on youtube but im really cheap lol

Hello!

The decision to get patreon really depends on if the cost is worth it for what you get out of it to you :)

Patreon is £4 and you get:

all old 2020-2022 livestreams and some livestreams in the same format from 2023 and 2024

Bill murray shows live streamed from the stage, plus you can watch them back if you can’t watch live/want to rewatch (these have improvised plays in them)

the dnd streams! :D (2 from the bitter sweethearts campaign and one of some returning sfth characters. The bitter sweethearts are also gonna be coming back in 2025! Each dnd stream is at least two hours) with patreon you can also access the bitter sweethearts character sheets if that’s something you’re into :)

Occasional bonus check-ins from the guys

qna’s and behind the scenes footage

5 improvised plays exclusive to patreon

Some other random stuff (like their podcast qna stream they did a little while back)

5 full shows from their 2024 Edinburgh Fringe run!!

A 21 SoHo full show/special

sometimes we get specials released to us earlier (I think)

Anyway, this is just what you get with it- the decision is totally up to you. If you want it and can afford it then I can highly recommend it. But the decision is financial and that’s a thing for you to decide :))

hope that this helps!!

[i-may-be-an-emu]

Hi I hope you're doing well! :)

I just got myself a SFTH Patreon subscription as an early Christmas present (yay!) and am still figuring out how it works. Since you're Tumblr's resident expert on such things, I wondered if you could explain how one might find the exclusive plays and DnD streams?

Thanks so much! (Though you don't at all have to answer)

Hello!! I’m so happy to hear you got patreon :D Congrats!! it’s very fun

The exclusive longforms, dnd and more are linked in sfth’s pinned post on patreon :D

When you open the app, you’re taken to a general “all creators page” with recent posts from any subscriptions you have.

To get to sfth’s actual patreon page you click on the square at the top with their logo on it, and then the square becomes a rectangle that says “shoot from the hip” - click on that and you’ll be taken to their page :)

(I’m pretty sure if you have multiple subscriptions you see them all listed at the top but I’m not sure- but that’s why I think it’s like this :))

When you’re taken to their page their pinned post is the top one, and it’s got up coming streams and the links to most things (including the exclusive longforms and dnd!)

If you need any more help or this didn’t make sense just ask!! I hope this helps <3

have fun!!

I’m probably gonna be changing my pinned post from the fic list to a whole sfth FAQ/masterpost when I have the time to finish it (just wanted to give people a heads up for if anyone uses the fic list)

the fic list will be linked on the FAQ/masterpost, as well as some other good resources and links :)

(and I will continue with updating the fic list too btw!!!)

[i-may-be-an-emu]

oh and also here are some pictures that I think show their eye colours pretty well :)

(AJ’s might be closer to grey-greenish than blue but that’s kinda the same thing yk? Or they might be the ones that change a bit- but that’s not a fact that’s just me thinking haha. Officially they’re blue :))

What r their eye colors I’ve never seen a pic clear enough,,

[i-may-be-an-emu]

No!!! Don’t worry!!!

It’s a reference from their patreon podcast stream!!! :) (it’s less weird than it sounds when you watch it I promise 😭)

hehehe
