#i don't think I used that tag correctly Syd

[barbierpt]

funny how you had no problems when anons were going to syd to call her cheap and say they were shitting on content makers but when someone else says that gifs can be overpriced now you agree with it? just shows how little your words means.

anon, are you okay?? because this obsession you have with me and this nonexistent rivalry or mutual hate relationship with rptsyd is really getting so old.

i'm assuming you read mcthsman's response to that ask about gif packs being paid for?? they brought up a lot of great points i never considered, especially about underused fcoc and how USD prices might translate as higher in other currencies. they did a great job explaining their viewpoint on this matter and i agree with what they're saying. if the rpc has a desire to bring more diversity into writing, i do believe that those resources should be accessible to the public without a paywall, especially when they're not popular fcs that pretty much almost every gif maker has made packs of.

that said, i don't mind gif makers charging for their efforts in creating and editing resources for like private commissions. or i saw another blog mention donation links or patreon as more accessible ways for those who can't spare $20+ for gifs we can't make ourselves and want to use. and i personally don't mind paying creators for their time and effort on what i think is a fair price. not everyone in the rpc is rich. i work two jobs myself to make ends meet and have a little extra spending money i can save for donations and things like that so i have no complaints on my end.

syd did talk about some packs being overpriced (15$ for 250 gifs if i remember correctly) and also mentioned how they've paid or donated more than that. they also admitted themselves that if the rpc thought that was a fair price then they didn't mind it being a "broke me" thing. one of my tag responses to an ask about that basically shared a similar sentiment in that i understood not everyone can pay that much for gifs when we all have real life responsibilities like rent/mortgages, groceries, utilities, medical bills, vet bills, etc.

there was nothing mentioned from syd then like what mcthsman is saying now about underused faces of color blocked from the majority of the rpc behind a paywall, which is a pretty significant issue i didn't realize was happening until i saw it in their post and it is something i feel should be talked about.

this isn't the first anon i've received on a subject that snaps at me about what i've said or not said or what syd's said. not everything i talk about or answer has to do with syd unless she's explicitly mentioned and whatever you think my feelings are towards them. i have them blocked because i didn't like their content and i didn't agree with them continuing to be so hateful towards strangers on the internet who felt they had to make a public apology on this site like they're a celebrity on twitter. the fact that you're using this pretty significant topic of discussion as a means to stir some pot for... i don't even know your objective here. probably so syd has more to talk about on their blog idk. it's sad and embarrassing. it clearly shows you don't care about this issue at all and you're trying to make this personal for your own drama of the week.

you can keep sending me anons about syd cause i won't be answering them any more. and the ones i do continue receiving i will block your ip address to prevent any more coming into my inbox.

hope you understand!! 💓

If you could see the queue there's SO much more than I tagged at you and Paige. Certain things just make me think of you both and am like yes hope they see this. The one today I forgot I had even tagged it. We went on a round around there. I'm happy happy you are having/ had? A good day. Are you in my head??? That's pretty much put into a better cohesive thought that I could do it. I'll be honest and say at first I was skeptical about the show because like always Hollywood either gets the mark so wrong when it comes to actually navigating these topics. You know there's a lot of movies and shows that show you someone who's Hispanic is always the cleaning ladies or drug dealers and to see odaat show and shine such a different light and actually take time to make sure it was correctly represented just made me love it more. All those episodes are so good. The ones that stick the most with me are Lydia in the hospital, quince, and Schneider relapsing ( tw there ) those entire seasons are so good and ugh you're gonna make me rewatch it again. MMM really is another good show. You watch that too??? Woah. Stance on Joel? And a whole other note all I've thought about today is chapter 5 and I think you've gotten into my brain 😂. -🧚‍♀️

omg adorable i love that for us :)) looking forward to seeing what other evil things are in your queue i guess

yeah so true like i'm impressed at how good it is. shows like odaat make me have faith in the future of television and the progress we've made and all. it's nice. we love to see it. yeah dude i was full on sobbing at the entire s2 finale (the one w lydia in the hospital) it was a sad sight you can ask megs she had to witness my breakdown lmao and the quince one as well fuck dude when elena is just standing there and finally penelope gets up to do the father-daughter dance with her and goes "i got you" BITCH I CRIIIIIIED also the whole time lydia is like i've failed at making your dress the perfect dress will make you tear up and leave you speechless and elena is like no it's beautiful it's fine it's a nice dress and then lydia makes it into a suit and elena TEARS UP AND IS SPEECHLESS fuck dude. fuck. also the way they introduce a nonbinary character and it's basically never an issue? they don't misgender syd?? at all??? not even just to be like "oh haha this happens sometimes" they just say actually fuck you all, everyone in this family is Getting It Right. and that's what they fucking deserve. god fucking damn it so much of this show makes me so happy. i literally sit there going wow. every episode has passed the bechdel test. aglskdj also the scene where elena is bummed about being white-passing and then schneider is like you're still gay ! and elena is like ...oh yeah i AM gay. AND a woman! i'm back in baby! like hgafdshgdshldskfj i really fucking felt that tbh anyway you get it

yeah bro!!!! although it's been a minute, if there's a new season i probably haven't seen it i think ive seen up to s3? my mom and i watch it together :) we don't watch any shows together almost but it's nice to have the one. my thoughts on joel are that i don't really remember but i'm pretty sure he had a REALLY strong redemption arc. for that matter so does victor in odaat in my opinion! strong and realistic. these things are important to me. unfortunately that's the extent to which i remember joel, i can't actually remember anything he does or says just that i remember having the impression that his redemption arc was decent so that's all i can say. i WILL say that i am OBSESSED w the costume design of maisel it's all so fucking colorful and i just really do love it. man maybe i should rewatch maisel lmao

hdsfhlgskdj yknow reading this ask was what made me go "damn i really should just post the chapter already huh" so you have yourself to thank for it <3
