I think the most annoying part about all of this watcher shit is that if they had just originally said they'd be releasing content earlier and ad-free on their own website, none of this would've happened. Like sure maybe people would be a little bit upset/disappointed they couldn't afford to see things earlier, but at the very least they wouldn't have completely obliterated their reputation and ostracized their fan base. They just went about this in such a shitty and demeaning way and I'm glad they apologized and backpedaled, but I sincerely don't know how they come back from this, especially after it took them three days to respond. I don't know how their audience will ever be able to trust them again

4x08 michael guerin’s 2 minute long tantrum is something that can actually be so personal

ON MY WAY TO BEETLEJUICE. FULLY EQUIPPED WITH TISM

idk are we forgetting that ed wanted to die like. 2 episodes ago. people be like “staying alive just for one person is so unhealthy” (i don’t fully think that’s my read on it but anyways). being suicidal is by definitely Not Healthy. people stay alive for pets or concerts or other people all the time, and that’s a good thing. working to get to a better place than that comes after, and i would argue that is exactly what the show is showing us with ed rn

yeah that, too!!! i didn’t want to go off about it and trigger people (or myself because i’m actively [redacted]) but, the obsession with keeping everything healthy vs realistic is so weird to me. that’s not the point of this story, or edward’s story, specifically. he’s unmediated in the era of pirates (give or take a few liberties, this is a historical comedy!) and has never been safe or healthy in his life. probably never will be, given the lifestyle.

all that aside, you’re right, it is realistic for suicidal people to cling to that one person/pet/event as a reason. we do it all the goddamn time, it’s human nature. not to mention his reasons for choosing life had nothing to do with stede, not originally. he was listing off normal human experiences/desires (warmth, sex) + wanted to fight for his life before stede showed up and gave him that final boost.

that, to me, is way more realistic and something im really happy the show touched on? suicidal people don’t actually want to die, we want to keep fighting, and having love/connections is one of the things that can push us to continue that fight. whether or not it’s healthy is not the point, because duh, living like that isn’t healthy. wasting time feeling guilty for that is just not a priority. not in life, and not in the themes of the show.

and yes, the show is actually showing us that edward wants to live, he wants to be happy to the best of his abilities, he’s choosing to build friendships and discover who he wants to be. stede helped him realize that, showed him the light, etc, but he’s making the decision to continue that personal journey on his own. the love of his life standing beside him as a supportive beacon is not a bad thing, not even by modern standards. he’s loved + encouraged + thriving and that’s all that can be asked of him tbh!

.

like it's either 'i thought i'd die/fix the demon issue before the smoking became a problem'

or

'i am in denial and i am not thinking about it i just want short-term relief'

and honestly both are good

Deleting the Evi piss post sorry I realized it sucked so bad which is saying something since im wasted. Limited edition. I get nothing erotic out of piss I just enjoy saying provocative things sometimes. But not that provocative. My bad.

I’m not ready to buy tickets to the new Sparks tour oh god it’s coming up so quickly ahHHhAh

(I will be in a lecture when the tickets go on sale so… I’ll be one of those people doing random stuff during lectures, I hope my stress entertains my peers behind me)

i mean this nicely. and as someone who has a deep obsession with my chemical romance. i don't think everyone getting anons about supposed tours and some rando with no sources in a discord message means there's literally anything happening. i'm sorry. it just all reminds me of the smashing pumpkins theory and i'm not 13 anymore. SORRY

anyways my 2 cents notice how dsmp started to get uh. bad. when suddenly c!dream became a, um, quote unquote "fleshed out character" and not just. "hey this guy is fucked up and straight up evil even if some people that have sided with him are morally grey." just my thoughts tho

using my birthday as an excuse to be the most annoying motherfucker i can be

Time for my daily menopause emotional breakdown where I want to walk into the woods and never return bye you guys

Okay now that I have slept and processed being waitlisted and after the endless stress of yesterday…I am feeling tentatively hopeful and calm about today. At least by the time of the Capitol One sale we’ll have more knowledge going in depending on how the morning presale goes for everyone.

Good luck out there swifties!!

brain go we drop it like HOT HOT

one of the funniest and most in character things ever is Ahsoka mentioning the whole Vader thing once and Anakin defensively going "is that what this is about" and rolling his eyes like "oh my god I went on ONE 20 year rampage and no one can let it go, I'm on my apology tour right now what more do you people want"
