#and it’s because i have a parasocial relationship with him

the fact that they could just casually introduce the new places of the phouse or even film the videos there without really mentioning it, but noo, they decided to make A Thing out of it.

it makes me think of the role their living spaces have played in this parasocial (and sarapocial) relationship we have. because they've always been A Thing, that's nothing new.

their beds became part of their brand, they let the internet into every inch of their first london apartment during a time where they really gave their everything for youtube. then they took a step back, and set boundaries for themselves with the sets in the second (fake) london apartment.

it's understandable that they want to keep their (p)house for themselves and not let the whole world into this thing that's so intimately theirs. but, as they've mentioned before, at the same time they do want to show off what they've built and designed (pretty sure they talked about this on a stereo show or something). and they obviously know the curiosity is there on our part.

so when they share they do it deliberately and with purpose. and by making it such A Thing they're taking control in a way. because it's not us pointing out these things, they already make the jokes themselves, basically making fun of us but in the process still show us new corners of their house and let us in a little bit more.

it's like with 'they're touching', by pointing these things out themselves they take away some of the power we have over their experience but not any of the fun on our part. they acknowledge it and spin it in a way that works for them. at the same time it works for us because it's very transparent and they're not not doing that thing where they lie to us again (to quote them).

it's pretty neat this way I think.

Sometimes I feel like the things I post about Yuzuru are just too inadequate for the admiration I have for him and the impact his skating has had on my life. I genuinely just am in constant awe of his particular style as an artist and his determination. He’s just inspired me a lot in many aspects of my life and I don’t think I’ll ever really be able to put it into words

“lmm popscare” is so unoriginal y’all. write some new jokes. it’s just boring at this point.

some of you need to learn to be less personally offended by writers saying “canon is just the things that explicitly happen in the show/book/movie”

tubbo was right about every single point he made, sapnap knows everything he said anyway and if he didnt hes an idiot for nlt researching shit. dropping him over this sucks

I agreed with a lot of tubbos points (while I think they lack some nuance) I just really really really disliked his approach to talking about it. and while I was watching and liveblogging it for you guys and he started getting riled up reading the pastebin I had a thought like 'he needs to end stream because he's getting emotional but I know he will never do that' and I realized how much the alt stream dynamic has been making me increasingly uncomfortable the past months. and that this is not a normal thing to do. and there's a reason why other streamers don't do this and it just crossed a line for me.

i'm sure you've had other people telling you this but dream didn't make c!techno. technoblade made c!techno, and by dunking on c!techno's creator you are, in fact, dunking on a wonderful man who died from cancer at age 23 - not exactly a good look, imo.

a. do you really think dream magically became racist overnight and his friends were somehow COMPLETELY unaware of that fact until a twitter call out?

b. just straight up not gonna discuss either how all his fellow streamers didn’t leave until his racism blew up on twitter? probably due to revenue loss if they didn’t?

c. it’s sad to hear that he passed away very young but i did not say anything to indicate that i was making fun of his death. obviously that was not the point of the post and if that’s your take away then that’s a you problem.

d. i didn’t ask your for your opinion and i don’t care about it. tho i did explicitly say ‘correct me if i’m wrong.’ here’s the thing tho: everywhere, ESPECIALLY on tumblr, dreamSMP fans have continually lashed out at anyone who brings up racism in relation to it. i did say ‘correct me if i’m wrong,’ but after thinking about it more in-depth…i still stand by what i said due to points a and b. i did get the white youtubers mixed up but it’s still a pattern with these content creators. it has been in the gaming community for a long time.

The thing about dean winchester is that at this point he feels so straight camp, yet I know that jensen+writers are interpreting him as 100% serious but then he says shit that could very well be in riverdale like "umm sam it's so gay that you know the story of cinderella, I only watch porn because i'm straight btw". For them he is a lovable and charming asshole that gets a pass to say bitch and gay (derogatory) without it affecting negatively his heroic image because he wants to save people and has a strong jawline. But I know it in my heart that true dean winchester is using his extremely campy masculinity to make up for the fact that he lives in a constant panic of being found out having gay thoughts. Bela offers him to have hate sex no strings attached and instead of being like "yeah all bitches want me even the ones who hate me" he goes through all stages of panic ultimately landing in a utter revulsion face that screams that he wants to run away in hide. Jensen+nonbelievers will tell you that that is because he hates that woman sooo much and he so above her etc etc, but I can feel dean winchester himself coming alive in that scene and taking control of the puppet actor boy to show the real emotion of being surprised by someone matching is constructed fuckboy energy and disarming him by presenting him with an opportunity he did not see coming and therefore did not rehearsed before how to best straightman his reaction. I'm dying on the hill that he is bisexual but every time he fucks a woman is not the bisexuality coming through but instead his attempt at proving that he is not gay despite having gay thoughts. He interacts with women like he has to prove that is most definitely not thinking about dick from time to time, and uses them to reassure himself that the demons he is fighting are not bisexuality.
