i will always defend alex day/nerimon and i dont care what anyone says. literally what are the accusations? being sort of an annoying twat? being kinda bad in bed? sleeping around? (yeah, that last one is bad but cmon. thats what idiot teenagers do. he didnt need his life ruined over it.)

literally, if you know the name alex day you probably think 'that one time british youtube star? yeah i kinda remember but idk actually, i think he was a rapist or something? probably a pedophile rapist predator. thats what everyone says. idk but everyone hates him and he doesnt have an online presence anymore because idk actually i think hes buddhist now or smth? idc fucking rapist scum'

like, i understand completely how it happened (dont forget to be awesome!) there were soo many dirty fucking scumbags around in that era of youtube (and still are! more so, infact!) and like... seriously, im not trying to undermine the fact that there were (and are) actual predators on these platforms, or that he was close to them (dont forget to be awesome!) but so was LITERALLY EVERYONE ELSE. it was fucking shameful how charlie, the vlogbrothers, everyone else just shunned him like that. youtube literally died that day, and if you dont believe me, try to find videos from that time. theyre gone. theyre all gone. they all want to forget about it.

i dont deny it was fucking scummy of him how he broke carries heart, or how he used his fame to get girls but... cmon. these were girls who were literally singing 'i want to be mrs nerimon' (iykyk) and flying from america to meet up with him. what 19yo dude who wants to be a famous musician wouldnt jump at that oppurtunity? im not saying he was/is a good musician btw. hes fucking awful.

but i actually beg everyone (who was there, digitally atleast, during the nerdfighter era and who remember those times. you know who you are. you guys who grew up with harry potter and loved it and hate yourselves for it today) ESPECIALLY those who hate him, to read his book 'living and dying on the internet' and try to hear it from his point of view. like, yes, obviously youre hearing the perspective of the annoying narcissistic twat we all know and love/hate, but also one who was one of the first vloggers in that wildwest era of youtube, who has a lot of insight, and who i believe really didnt do anything all that wrong, and even if he did has clearly fully repented in giving up his youtube career and everything. you can find it easily for free online, the book that is. its a good read.

i will say though that it was pretty scummy of him to publish the book having it detail his relationship with carrie (not explicitly, like) when she specifically asked him not to, and using pseudonyms to get around it, that was fucked up; but at the same time i cant fucking blame him! having all your friends suddenly turn on you to save their own reputations, everyone treating you as some evil monster for the smallest of human failings. i dont blame him for wanting to atleast give his side of the story.

idk, it really is a good example of the childish backbiting nature of the fandom-left i think, which WILL ultimately be its doom; and we all know it. and if you disagree with me, well, feel free leave a comment in the doobly-doo, and Dont Forget To Be Awesome!

Anyway ouugh the overwhelming urge to make shippy little Doctor/Master The End of Time Part 2 gifsets set to Chameleon Circuit’s Exterminate Regenerate like it’s 2009 and DW is still relatively unknown to a US market

i had this dream last night, totally out of nowhere. that Tom Milsom released new music. i mean, i guess he could’ve, i wouldn’t know, i’m not keeping tabs. Tom Milsom? oh he was like one of the original tumblr seapunks, infamously did a cover of 212 where he said the word, got cancelled for sex crimes. it was around the same time as the Nerimon thing. they were close friends actually. Nerimon? yeah they were both british youtubers, both got cancelled for sex crimes in similar circumstances. they were in the same circle as this trans girl who goes by Charlotte now, she’s cool though. this was pre-transition. ah you’re not familiar? her and Nerimon were in this trock band called Chameleon Circuit together. oh trock? it stands for time rock, uh, it’s rock music about the show Doctor Who. you know, cause he’s the time lord. a lot of trock artists were on DFTBA Records together. you know DFTBA right? it stands for “don’t forget to be awesome,” it was started by the Vlogbrothers. ahh so, the Vlogbrothers kinda originally got famous for this long-running vlog series where they’d trade off each week addressing their video to the other brother, but then they each independently got famous. one did a lot of science education stuff, and the other wrote some really popular YA novels, but then had the whole “cock is one of my favorite tastes” thing happen,

my first ship was bella and edward my first gay ship was charlieissocoollike and nerimon (💀) and then i got tumblr and it was over for me. spent so long in those youtuber rpf and bandom mines. all while shipping kurtofsky AND klaine. i literally wrote klaine mpreg in a notebook at middle school. Stony was unfortunately formative in many ways

Why is no one talking about dan trying to make phil upset by saying he wants to replace him with nerimon / alex day ???? What was that about ??? Does anyone have the lore ??? It looked like it actually worked and annoyed phil that he had a serious face and tone and said "take that back." ???

i don’t think anyone brings that up because that man was revealed to have sexually assaulted multiple women and abused one of their friends

Today while I was sitting at my desk at work, I suddenly realized that when I switched from Goodreads to Literal, I had forgotten to add "Living and Dying on the Internet" to my read list. I went to add it, but noticed it had one negative review from a self-righteous sounding woman who seemed as though she hadn't actually read the book at all. I'm not sure why, but I felt compelled to care and get upset about this.

It reminded me of back in 2009 when my two-year relationship with x (or "x" as I liked to call him since he was half Irish) ended. I had biked over 6 miles on my day off to bring him a homemade lunch at our workplace, where we worked in different departments. When I got there, his colleague said x was outside by his car. I went to the parking lot, easily spotting his obnoxious yellow Buick Regal. When I opened the back door, I saw him having sex with our red-haired department manager. I was horrified. What kind of person cheats on their girlfriend at their shared workplace? I remember dropping the paper bag in shock and running to my bike. X chased after me with his pants unzipped, begging to drive me home.

At home, as we laid on my bed, he lamented how sad he felt that his best friend had a baby and he didn't. This reminded me of the time I had crashed his best friend's girlfriend's new BMW trying to drive her and the baby to get ice cream. X didn't seem to care when the hospital called him about it. He was too busy playing God of War. God of War was that Xbox game he made me wait in line until midnight to buy on his birthday. I had made him a scrapbook, but he threw that into a bin. That should have been red flag number ein. I realized then he wasn't meant to be a father. When I told x this, he admitted he didn't care much about me or the situation, calling me "too mature and stuck up," before breaking up with me. The next day at work, my boss inexplicably fired me. A couple weeks later, x's mom called my mom to say he had killed himself. It would later come out that he faked his own death.

To help me cope, my newly unemployed mother suggested we take a trip to Europe. My mother dragged me to Shakespeare & Co, where I found a clever poem signed "@nerimon." My family encouraged me to contact him. Although he didn't respond at first, he later sent me his music CD. Nerimon became a great friend, supporting me through difficult breakups in the years that followed.

I was shocked when years later, accusations emerged online about x being a sexual abuser. His friends demanded I pick sides, but my mother wisely warned against believing everything you read. I chose to stay silent, losing those friends as a result. I read x's book that came out after the allegations and felt incredibly guilty, knowing in my heart the truth of the situation. Feeling like the shittiest friend. All I remember is his exes being textbook narcissists and switching to kind in front of others. Ultimately, I've moved on and just hope he is doing alright.

It is possible that my first Youtuber experience was watching a future sexual predator (or just future-caught) make fun of Twilight and I’m not gonna revisit that asshole to compare. But I would like to replace that memory with this.

I’ve been feeling really sad ever since the news about Noel Clarke dropped. It’s a very upsetting article, but very important. Somehow it’s still shocking to learn that powerful, seemingly charming men can be monsters.
