…and welcome to another episode of Charlie disregarding every single boundary Babe tries to put up whilst single-handedly becoming the most annoying character I have ever had the displeasure of watching

i’ve been scratching my head over the whole watcher situation. I’m not a fan myself but got dragged into it cus of the people I follow, i only watched their puppet history series and the buzzfeed unsolved series from way back- honestly, i couldn’t care less if they locked all their stuff behind a paywall. I’m so neutral on this whole thing, i might as well be swiss.

but i’m not neutral? In fact, the whole thing really bothers me and i couldn’t figure out why.

cus i get it, yanno. As a company that thrives on creativity, i understand you’d wanna cut yourself off the mega-capatalist-giant that is youtube to get rid of annoying restrictions, and asking monetary support from your audience so you can really stretch the limit of your creativity. I GET IT.

And it STILL bothers me!

And then I figured it out:

the whole “any future videos they’ll be making will EXCLUSIVELY be available through a streaming service you have to pay a monthly subscription for” comes less across as “please support us monetarily so we can grow as creators”, and comes more across as “if you want to continue being a fan, or even being a part of the audience, you’re gonna have to pay up. You have no choice in the matter. It’s either pay, or you’re not a ‘real’ fan or a ‘real’ part of our audience.”

THAT’S what’s bothering me about it. It feels like they’re gatekeeping who gets to be part of their community with money (that not everyone might have). And knowing where they come from and how they started…. That’s… extremely tone deaf. To put it gently.

Reading the synopsis for episode 6 and OMFG they’re already adapting these chapters?! 😆😆❤️🥹😭

The synopsis only focuses on the chapter from the second link, but the episode title seems like Momose’s lines in the first link 😄

Oml I’m excited for the next ep 😫😆😭

Where’s that tumblr post that’s like “there’s a generation gap between me and people my age”?

still a bit annoyed that disco’s final season unintentionally focused on someone else’s return to the captains chair after taking three whole seasons to make Michael captain, an entire season after Saru, and only after he stepped down

Episode 4 being 34 minutes and ending in the water with a nereid 🤝 Episode 6 being 34 minutes and ending in the water with a nereid

The more I think about the GO movie, the more I’m excited for it. Am I disappointed that so much screen time is being cut? Yes. But am I also excited for the possibility of a steadily moving plot that doesn’t have a bunch of jarring interruptions that are just there to fill the time? Yes! The plot that season 2 set up suits a movie format, because it demands that all of the focus be devoted to it instead of a bunch of side plots.

You guys remember that homophobic gay muppet anon I had that one time?? Could you imagine how fucking hilarious it’d be if they tried to make a comeback after Muppets Mayhem episode 6 was entirely dedicated to gay people??

Freud wasn’t special. Literally anybody could have pulled the shit that he did any time in the two centuries before him. But nobody did in this universe. And so now every corner of modern society is colored by the ghosts of Victorian sexual repression.

For me it’s the way Varian cannot and will not verbally express his feelings for Thomas but never makes Thomas feel wrong or ashamed for expressing his own. Varian does not believe their relationship could ever work in the real world but he never puts Thomas down for believing it could and responds to Thomas’ words and feelings with physical affection, kissing Thomas in front of the fire when Thomas says he’s proud of him and kissing him at the Chagalls’ farm when Thomas tells him happiness doesn’t feel complicated when they’re together. Varian sees Thomas’ love as his strength; his rebuff of Thomas’ advances in episode 2 was not to put Thomas down but rather his, at the time, inability to allow himself to maintain personal connections while remaining committed to his work. He just doesn’t believe he can have it all, or that he deserves it.

It’s also the way the way Thomas never forces Varian to say what he’s feeling and allows him to deal with and process his thoughts and emotions at his own pace, in his own way, and is always there to support him but call him out when he needs to.

It’s about the respect, the trust, the understanding, the love.
