Fatphobia is when Doug Walker (skinny) gets people to reference his review persona in cartoons in spite of being guilty of numerous borderline felonies along with his brother & manager, but Lewis Lovhaug (fat) gets harassed for views he hasn't held since the last decade, bullied for corny bad comics he made in 00s while being barely out of high school & put in cringe comps for not reacting placidly to the shit other people pull on him for no reason

April 2008. Doug Walker launches That Guy with the Glasses to host his video series, The Nostalgia Critic.

Doug and the website staff have ambitions of making it a site for multiple producers to host videos of a similar strain. Two of these will be Lindsay “The Nostalgia Chick” Ellis and Paul “PawDugan” Schuler. Lindsay’s roommate, Elisa Hansen, appears in her Nostalgia Chick videos before eventually starting her own series on the website under the name “Maven of the Eventide”.

Elisa and Paul meet and film several videos together. They start dating, and in November of 2012 announce that they’re engaged. They get married in October of 2013, and their son, Grey Ingram Hansen-Schuler, is born on August 13, 2014.

Which means that there’s at least one person on this planet who exists because of the Nostalgia Critic

CURSED COMPARISONS: Patrick H. Willems is like Doug Walker with less baggage.

In trying to find my geologist hammer, I found one of my most cursed possessions from my past. Definitely going to burn it along with a lot of my deadname stuff

Arguably, being in the TGWTG fandom for 4 years & watching it collapse during and after Change the Channel was what eventually led me to study anthropology

5000 posts!

You know what Tumblr, letting me know about this one is alright with me for once! I do wonder though at what count it would be if I hadn't switched blogs in 2014.

Chris and Harry return to the land of Kickassia to meet Lindsay Ellis. However, Chris is one daft bugger.

No problem! I'm curious to check it out myself--the dub has Christopher Lee as Drosselmeyer, which also tempts me to watch that version as well!

If you're curious about the video essay, I'll drop it here;

Recently watched a video essay about Nutcracker Fantasy (1979), which looks like a weird blend of Rankin-Bass meets 70s Shojo (honestly a pairing I thought would work, but it looks interesting). Wondering if you've seen it before--if you have, I'd love to hear your thoughts!

I've never heard of that before!

I'm going to have to see this! It looks great. I love stuff with this kind of fairy tale vibe and of course, I adore the Rankin-Bass specials, so anything reminiscent of them is going to appeal to me!

Thanks for putting this one on my radar.

I won't have a chance to talk about it in a fic for ages and ages, but wanted to share my thought with other people.

In a universe where Randy lives, either through Billy and Stu never going through with that night or Randy just not getting murked in 2, I think he'd 100% become a youtuber. Specifically, I think he'd end up basically being Dead Meat. He gets his film study degree and other film related things in collage, but hadn't quite found where to break into the scene yet by the time youtube started to become a thing. He saw things like early Nostalgia Critic, AVGN, and other TGWTG reviewers, noticed no one was doing horror content, and taking up that mantle himself. Just as a hobby between work and finding a job in the film field. First few videos were cringie NC knock off type humor with skits, but they never took off. Then he did a Kill Count video, and that really took off. That became his main series on youtube people know him for, but I think he'd do essays from time to time on the median, like talking about queer horror or how world events effect the type of horror that comes out.

In my specific au where Billy and Stu don't go through with the murders and live, I think from time to time Randy would get Stu in a video with him. He's not a youtuber, but he's got that natural screen charisma and works in horror movie practical effects so can give cool behind the scenes looks at how it all works. The viewers start somewhat shipping them, and it drives Randy crazy because he's still single and desperate to find a GF. The happily (not legal yet) married Stu thinks it's hilarious and plays into it so much. Especially since they DO hook up sometimes when Randy's in town, so the denial of it on screen it the funniest thing in the world to him. (Don't worry, Billy is totally cool with this. This is way into their mid to late 20's and Billy has escaped his family situation and selfhatred, he's happy and doing ok now thanks to Stu)

I was originally gonna include JonTron but he's not TGWTG enough.
