so i have a question, in what ways do you think the social team sucks? (I agree btw, it always feel like they try to connect with fandom but just can't, like instead of posting the things that would excited their audience, the fandom spaces they post what excites them if that makes sense? and what's exciting for them it's not what we are really interested in)

(also don't know if you know watcher but their social media team is the best out of the youtubers world in my opinion. they actually hired a person that was a big fan of their content, that was part of these spaces already. and she always nails what we want to see. she also really aknowledge tumblr and knows how popular they are here. I feel like a lot of the others socials teams tend to forget about here when it can be such a huge asset)

I always try to give the benefit of the doubt to people, while also playing devils advocate. I feel it makes for a more sound opinion on things. Having grace for others is ALWAYS a good thing.

I fully agree with what you said! you put it so perfectly!

"like they try to connect with fandom but just can't"

It feels like this too me too, especially as of recent. They ALWAYS push the jokes they (the people on set/work at Smosh) find funny. Which isn't a bad thing! there should be space for people to find what they find funny and push for it.

It just becomes an issue when they try to sell merch for things the community doesn't even know about/care about as deeply. (lmk if I'm wrong, but when the "you're my favorite pizza place" joke became a 'thing' the video hadn't even come out yet? I remember having no clue what anyone was talking about, I think the videos come out out of order? and all the sudden we had merch?)

I do like a lot of Smosh merch though! but there's just so much wasted potential of other things that would sell better.

A lot of Smosh fans are I believe Gen Z(?) but I feel like they try to make content for millennials/Gen A so we get a lot of floundering between demographics. I'm also very aware most of the cast/crew at Smosh is more in the millennial demo, which could be a large reason why we get more of that geared content.

Maybe at the end of the day they can't connect on purpose, maybe because they don't want to get into any drama/legal trouble they stay away from interacting with the community too much?

Getting away from those thoughts- they also have a HORRIBLE track record with letting us know about delays, just look at what they did with Sword AF S2. They totally dropped the ball. I'm still very upset about it. I really can't find a reason why they couldn't let us know sooner than DAY OF.

You'd think with them being so proud with their 'scheduling' (which I also HATE.) they would have dealt with these things better.

I've talked before about how I don't really like how much they do on 'shoot weeks'. It drains them loads and seems really hard to stay upbeat, and it WILL wear them down. (I'm wondering if that's why we haven't gotten Damien in too many videos as of recent. He doesn't want to do the shitty ass schedule)

At the end of it all, Anthony and Ian have all the say in what happens at Smosh so I'll just trust they will continue to do what they think is best <3 (even if I hate it) (their livelihood not mine y'know?)

"they actually hired a person that was a big fan of their content, that was part of these spaces already."

THIS^ (I do believe they have a lot of Smosh fans working there rn though) NOBODY DOES A JOB LIKE THIS BETTER THAN A PERSON OBSESSED... NOBODY!

I don't watch a lot of Watcher content but every now and again I'll check in and watch some of their stuff, they're a great lot!

I DIDN'T KNOW THEY HIRED A FAN!! THATS SO AWESOME!! They really know what they're doing! Whos gonna push content better than someone who full-heartedly enjoys it like a fan! (That's were I see the Smosh team falter a lot. It feels like they treat it like they're apart of the team to much? like they obviously ARE but I feel like if you want the job done the best you have to look at it with a fans eyes to know what would be the best content to push y'know?)

#yapping #smoshblr #smosh #Watcher #its not my job but i WILL complain #I still love smosh #take this as harsh criticism #because thats what it is #wishing smoshs social team well <3 #even if they piss me off #erin dougal #very well put Anon <3

#not to complain ab the same stuff i always complain ab #but my artblock is soooo bad . its so bad and frustrating and limiting and demotivating #because instead of being able to draw whatever whenever i feel like im chained to random bursts of inspiration #that i cant manifest just by willing it so yk. and imlike why…#so many ppl who draw whether for their job or for their hobby seem to be able to do it whenever #and its like yeah i could put pen to paper rn but theres such a mental disconnect that its not enjoyable anymore #dude its so whateverr😭😭 like its so made up and ik its just a psychological thing but it feels so physically .Hard #rrrgwgqq #like i try to maintain the habit by drawing stuff out even w no end in mind #but that also stresses me out bc its likeIDKK idk #silly tbh #seeing all of this art arnd me all the time > online and stuff is so nice and inpsiring #and it makes me want to do that too but i legitcannot . like i am being squished by a boulder and my hands are chained to 30lb weights #whatfreakign ever dude .like whateverrr #i want to grind my brain 2 a pulp . honestly🙌#like what do u mean u cant u literally just do it.but im the one exception to that

#always written as lovesick morons. i can handle it better for dabi ironically like he is an emotional little asshole #i can see him obsessing over someone and accidentally falling in cringe gay love about it #but it can't be done in a way where he is anything but the specific brand of pathetic i have in myhead #like ooo make him insecure do u know how juicy it is that touya 'dont ever put me in second place or i'll set us both on fire' todoroki #is shipped with takami 'i am literally always gonna pick my job over you lol' keigo. and yet NO ONE UTILISES ITTTTTT #INCOMPETENT! that's the word im looking for omg. you can make him emotional and pathetic but do NAWT make him incompetent in front of ME #and hawks.. deep breath wtf is his fanon characterisation.... you made him a himbo....#like i complain about dabi characterisation bc that's my best friend and only i understand him but in general fanon is actually fine #BUT HAWKS???? WHAT ARE YOU PEOPLE DOING TO THAT MAN 😭#he needs to be an asshole im afraid. i loveeeeeeeeeeeee dabihawks fics where dabi is the villain for objective shit like murder and crime #but hawks is the one who is just so so much worse from a reader's pov like he needs to be kinda heartless #will always prioritise his duty over himself and certainly over any lover. dabi is just his target at the end of the day #and yeah obvs he needs to love him back AT SOME POINT im not a masochist im a sucker for the unrealistically fluffy ending #but they need to suffer for that shit!!!! and hawks has to betray dabi at least 4 times #and for fuck sake MAKE THEM TRY AND KILL EACH OTHER FR!!! I HAVE A GUN!!#stop depolluting my toxic yaoi. um. pretty baby. dont suck the rot right out of their bloodstream?#dabihawks #mha #this coming from ur local fujo who has beaten the dabihawks ao3 tag for all its worth. can anyone help me… a rec… pls….

Shall we just collectively hate our jobs, wait for our off days, be miserable about having to back to said job, repeat, and die???

#my break is ending and I'm getting depressed #idk if i should feel so miserable about my job #its not the worst job #but it makes me so anxious #i feel bad complaining because i had it worse but #i just wanted to feel content with it #personal #my ramblings

Ever since I was a little girl I always knew I wanted a butch twice my size to call me a good boy

#it hasn’t happened yet but I think it will fix me once it does #Im not much of a boy or a girl or anything and I gave up trying to put a name on it. but I really like that phrase #its weirdly pleasing and I wish I had more situations where I could call myself that…. sigh #I noticed that whenever I do smth like look both ways before crossing the street or hold the door for someone #I find a little voice in the back of my head praising me like wow!! good job!! you’re such a good boy!!!#idk what that says abt me but im not complaining. I am a good boy #I hope everyone is having a good week!! and if not I sincerely hope it gets better and the weeks to come #im updating my blog again for fun ^_^#so far I’ve updated my header icon and text color but since im on the bus rn I might go back and change things when I get home #I also saw someone walking across campus wearing nothing but a t shirt and shorts in -15 Celsius weather #yapping

Closing commissions for a hiatus and stepping away from tumblr for a little bit. The past day has involved me getting a lot of very aggressive asks, messages on discord, and emails. Most of them have been people complaining in a very evangelical way, talking about praying for me while also saying they hope I get correctively raped (???), some are just complaining about me, but one doxxed my old apartment's address in it so my suspicion given the content of the messages (some of them things I've said only in like 2 servers on discord, and my email being something a past commissioner could see and my old address being on my paypal [idk if this is visible on the customer side of things]) *is that it's someone who has me added on either a wotr server I'm in (unlikely) or a horror art server I'm in. Its kind of been an issue for like a week but yesterday it was kind of overwhelming and it's something I wanted to just ignore initially but sending me an email with my old address happened earlier today and honestly thats kind of the final straw for me. I don't know what I did wrong but fuck me I guess lol. I don't think it has anything to do with what I post here even I don't do anything controversial, I just think it's probably people that have too much time on their hands. I just need to take a breather, change some things, and see if I can figure out safer ways to do commissions going forward. Charity commissions will open again once I get things settled and I'm less anxious about this.

#i had a couple anons complaining about the charity comms but the tone and writing style in those was kind of different but also idk #not my job to analyse that shit especially when its clear that its just someone fucking around

I totally get people talking about rottmnt and not being into because of the cartoony madness and exaggeration. I get it, it’s grating for some

But that acceptance goes OUT the window as soon as the same person vehemently swears up and down 2012 is the best tmnt rendition 💀💀

The incest one??? With the horrible writing? THAT one?

#its just a little silly to me #also theyre both the same level of nickelodeon #ppl making it a maturity thing and THATS the reboot they go for… ok #I love 2012 btw #i also hate it #but like I love them in my version where things aren’t messed up #LIKE LEO AND KARAI 💀‼️#it gets a little grating how people who refuse to watch rottmnt will bash it to no end because its easy to jump on the bandwagon #you can have a lower tolerance for cartoons but dont make that your justification when I see your ass watching jhonny bravo BYE 😵‍💫#also i love ben shwartz dont be mean to him #if you think hes cringe then… yeah youre not totally wrong but he does a good job lmao #sort of #shhhhhh #tmnt #kat talks #favorite does not equal best btw #enjoy your turts reguardless #rottmnt #teenage mutant ninja turtles #rise of the tmnt #just tired at the INSANEEE bashing with little valitity #we can just. shhhhhhhhh #also idc what anybody says the movie is worth watching 🤘#at least nobody is saying the bayverse is the best rendition #small mercies #leo karai incest arc flashbacks tho like EUUGGHHH #i will acquiesce ppl can complain about rottmnt splinter all they want and you wont hear a peep choices there were indeed made 💀#yeah that is really the unfortunate part dunno how that went wrong there

Those 2 ladies that interviewed me were like good cop-bad cop except they were lowkey both bad cops 😭

#that's done now anyway its out of my hands if they hire me or not #it is the ass crack of dawn and i want to go back to sleep so bad but i have to wait a few more hours just in case they contact me #again i say: if you are complaining about your job then i hope you understand how lucky you are to be employed in the first place #i did end it with me making the mouse begging for cheese hands so hopefully that seals the deal 🙏🏼#tonee's job chronicles

i hate old men and the way they think that just because you're young and woman you'll keep quiet when they're being condescending and straight up mean to you like i'll kill you before fate does idgaffff

#MAN IM SO TIRED OF THIS OLD ASS BITCH AT WORK he keeps treating me like he knows better than i do #when it's literally my job to review his cases before filing them #he's always 'joking' about how 'strict' i am #he's literally the only one who complains about me and my personality. its crazy #i need a new job i need to get out of law HDKAHKSVWNZH #airam talks

#TAG RANT TIME #my boyfriend called and i warned him up front that im having extremely bad cramps and dont have very much energy to talk #hes been monologuing for 21 minutes #he does this all the fucking time and it genuinely really annoys me because its the SAME MONOLOGUES EVERY TIME #about how he hates his job and want to do something good with his life #and then he never does anything!!!! he turns down offers to do the exact kind of things hes always talking about wanting!!!#im in so much fucking pain and hes barely even asked me if im okay.#anyway. if youre going to complain about your life for months and months maybe do something about it. or get a therapist to talk to #more and more these days i think i need to leave this man but its fucking complicated!!!!! its complicated

had one of the…worst days ever. truly a weak finale to age 25! do not recommend.

#it’s probably selfish but I do hope someone draws something for me tomorrow :’)#art is like the best thing ever when its gifted bc it means so much but i know its a lot to ask #anyway ill probably spend my 26th at home playing video games and trying to forget how lame the world is #then i have to go look for a job and buy insurance because today the job i went to turned out to not be as advertised :/#wasted a lot of money to figure that out too #nonsense #and lots of complaining #apologies

why did agatha tell lilia the truth about her only being able to steal powers if she’s blasted first if her entire plan was to get them to blast her so she could steal their powers??

#agatha all along #aaa spoilers #the more i think about these episodes the more it’s just like… why?#all the components were there for a really amazing ending but it’s just not and that’s so annoying #fucking marvel #and i want to make it clear that my issue isn’t about agatha x rio #because so many people are making it just only about that and so many others are dismissing anyone else’s low opinions on the ending cause #they think they’re only upset about that as well #but like no! there were actual issues #some of them Do have to do with agatha x rio but not all or even most of them do #like episode 6 had people complaining because of agatha x rio despite how well-executed/written it was #but that’s not what’s happening this time?? (okay for some people it is but not anywhere near all of them because there were glaring issues #in these last two eps)#like I don’t think a backstory or anything was actually necessary. I think they could have kept the same amount of agatha x rio scenes and #even kept them the same length and still been able to pull off something so much more satisfying instead of what they gave us #I think that about so much of these episodes too #like they could have done so much better with what time they were given and made everything so much more impactful and meaningful but #instead soooo much of it just feels so lackluster and husk-like #like the body’s there but there’s no soul to it #which honestly is par the course for marvel but this show had done such a good job of distancing itself from them and being its own thing #that I really thought it could be more #idk. I’m just disappointed ig #txt

seeing the results on that poll abt liking your job and so shocked that after unemployed, the most popular choice is mostly enjoy it?? you guys are liking your jobs???

#indeed search jobs you will like. jobs you enjoy. enjoyable jobs near me #where are these jobs. what are you doing #im sorry that i often complain and bitch about my job but well. im right #but im stll thinking like. its your job . the thing that takes you away from the things you would rather be doing #???? i think unfortunately because of working customer service for the past 5 years (oh god) straight out of high school #maybe i have a fucked up perspective on jobs. but like THEYRE JOBS. where are the enjoyable jobs i do not see them.........#im sorry im joking more abt this now im sure enjoyable jobs exist but i also kinda think thats a myth cooked up by big job #anyway. you may not have heard me say this before but i dont like working for a living very much

I'm not an extrovert. At all. In everyday life, I'm a yapper, sure, but I need someone to first assure me I am okay to yap, so I don't start conversations, even when I really want to join in sometimes! It's just the social anxiety acting up. God knows where from and why I lose a lot of my inhibitions when it comes to talking to people about music. I don't know where the confidence has suddenly sprung from. I've made a crazy amount of friends in musical circles, either just talking to people about common music or (since it is after all in music circles) talking to bands about their own music. I let out a sigh of relief any time an interaction goes well, because in truth it's going against my every instinct. I wish I could do that in everyday life

#like that's the point where we need to remind everyone around me that as much as I say #radio is 'a job'-- it's not 'my job' lol. I wish I was this interested in data science #but like. Honestly?? I'm not even a data scientist!? I answered a few questions about classical AI having come from a computer science back #background and now people are saying to me 'I know you're a data scientist and not a programmer' sir I am a computer scientist #what are you on about #and like I guess I get to google things and they're paying me so I'm not complaining but like I am not a data scientist #my biggest data scientist moment was when I asked 'do things in data science ever make sense???' and a bunch of data scientists went #'no :) Welcome to the club' ???????#why did I do a whole ass computer science degree then. Does anyone at all even want that anymore. Has everything in the realm of #computer science just been Solved. What of all the problems I learned and researched about. Which were cool. Are they just dead #Ugh the worst thing the AI hype has done rn is it has genuinely required everyone to pretend they're a data scientist #even MORE than before. I hate this #anyway; I wish I didn't hate it and I was curious and talked to many people in the field #like it's tragicomedy when every person I meet in music is like 'you've got to pursue this man you're a great interviewer blah blah blah'#and like I appreciate that this is coming from people who themselves have/are taking a chance on life #but. I kinda feel like my career does not exist anymore realistically so unless 1) commercial radio gets less shitty FAST #2) media companies that are laying off 50% of their staff miraculously stop or 3) Tom Power is suddenly feeling generous and wants #a completely unknown idiot to step into the biggest fucking culture show in the country (that I am in no way qualified for)#yeah there's very very little else. There's nothing else lol #Our country does not hype. They don't really care for who you are. f you make a decent connection with them musically they will come to you #Canada does not make heroes out of its talent. They will not be putting money into any of that. Greenlight in your dreams.#this is something I've been told (and seen) multiple times. We'll see it next week-- there are Olympic medallists returning to uni next wee #no one cares: the phrase is 'America makes celebrities out of their sportspeople'; we do not. Replace sportspeople with any public professi #Canada does not care for press about their musicians. The only reason NME sold here was because Anglophilia not because of music journalism #anyway; personal
