Some thoughts on Steven's new show, and the hate that's been directed at him lately

spoiler alert: the tl;dr is that people's assumptions about the new food show being expensive meals aren't in the trailer and I'm happily subscribed to Watcher TV now!

One of the most awful things about this announcement has been seeing people attacking Steven specifically, and making a lot of assumptions about him. I (probably unwisely) spent a couple hours in the yt comment section and found things like this:

And then I saw this tumblr comment that do a wtf face irl:

Keith's new eating show is at Michelin star restaurants... to call that relatable and Steven not? Honey, that's either racism or some implicit bias you need to examine (I watch some TG content, it's fine to like Keith, but damn this take isn't it y'all)

But my main point is: No one said Steven and Andrew are going to be having expensive meals on the new show.

(yeah, remember Andrew is on the show too? but all hate is directed at Steven? isn't that interesting...)

That was Buzzfeed. This is Watcher. They aren't going to repeat themselves. Also, Worth It was about showing food across ALL price points, especially in later seasons once they had a more stable platform at BF. It was about giving chefs across cultures (especially Asian communities) a voice.

I re-watched the teaser for Travel Season, and I also signed up for Watcher TV (it was about $3.50/month with the annual discount promo) and I watched the full trailer for Travel Season. Guess what wasn't mentioned? Food at expensive price points.

Travel Season is going to be six episodes per season, all in one location, focusing on food and experiences that place has to offer. This is more economical from a production standpoint, because the team can travel to a location and shoot episodes in a batch. Similar to how they can get four episodes of TMS filmed in one night. Sounds like they are approaching Travel Season in a smart and efficient way.

stills from the trailer on WatcherTV.com

Sure, maybe they'll try some higher priced dishes at some point, but Travel Season is about culture and food - not about clickbait titles for Buzzfeed where they need to have $1,000 ice cream. If you've seen the food content Steven's made at Watcher (Homemade, Grocery Run, Eat Like Me) you know he cares about highlighting the connections between people and food, to share cultures and ideas with the viewers.

I am supporting Watcher's new endeavor, and hope they can make it work for more of their audience over time. Some people choose to pay $4.99/month for a Twitch sub to support one creator - which is their right. I am spending $5.99/month (but actually much cheaper for this first year) to support an entire company. If this works, Watcher could bring on other creators, as they've wanted to all along, and hopefully usher in an era of entertainment from a diverse group of independent creators.

Yes, Steven Lim took on the role of CEO of Watcher Entertainment recently, but the other founders still have an active role in the company. Like it or not, they all had a vote in making the switch to a streaming service. Singling out Steven in comments like those above isn't a good look for anyone.

#Watcher #Watcher TV #Travel Season #Steven Lim #Andrew Ilnyckyj #Adam Bianchi #normally I wouldn't use main tags for a rant like this but I need people to see the other side of things #my defensive genes have been activated like the winter soldier #I saw a yt comment literally calling the team at watcher the 1%#BABES #that's not what that means #like at all #feel free to reblog this #but if you complain about Steven's tesla I will block you #watchergate #vi rants

Should I start watching Doctor Who?

100%

Doctor Who is one of, if not my all-time favorite TV shows. It has a lot, and I mean a lot, of depth into its lore, and sometimes it just breaks its own Canon for fun. The only things I have to say are:

1. Be prepared for silly little alien shenanigans

2. Be prepared for the most soul crushing angst you will ever witness

3. Trust me dude, just don't get attached to like... any of the characters

4. You're going to be in this fandom for a long while if you do get hyperfixated, so you might as well get comfortable

5. If you are planning to watch Classic Who, watch it first

#thanks for the ask!#doctor who #classic who #nu who #I just really enjoy getting even the simplest of questions #thank you anon #vi rants

i’m being so serious rn i’m going to need tg to stop glomping onto half of rhaenyra’s kids 🫨

jace would NEVER abandon his family to back aegon’s claim (‘wah wah wah he HATES his mother bc she *made* him a bastard-’ one, jace does not care enough about that to abandon his mother [to whom he is literally the miniature version of] and two, his entire personality is his love for his family. he literally dies trying to save aegon and viserys *after* his mom told him not to go fuck OFF).

rhaena would also *never* abandon her family to back aegon’s claim (apparently she’ll feel sorry about blood & cheese and want to make amends with them. i don’t think so, i think she’d be more upset that her betrothed was ruthlessly slaughtered despite his status as a peace envoy but whatever).

baela is one of rhaenyra’s staunchest supporters (‘the greens reach to usurp our queen’s throne and they must be answer with fire and blood.’ i DO NOT care that it didn’t make it into the show that is canon!baela) and does *not* want driftmark (which only corlys has a say in, and he chose bAsTaRdS over her and rhaena at every single turn don’t even mention it), so stop trying to conflate your hatred of rhaenyra onto her daughter.

aegon iii would never have been happy married to jaehaera and vice versa. these were two heavily traumatized children. jaehaera would have to deal with being married to the son of the man who had her brother executed (not to mention that she already had severe physical and mental health issues that were not being treated and the people around her [aegon ii before he died and alicent after] were actively making her life worse). aegon would have to deal with being married to the daughter of the man who had his dragon burn and eat his mother alive while he watched. which he never ended up letting go of (even with a wife who we know he obviously loved dearly) he wore black for the rest of his life and was stated to be the most solemn king due to what he experienced during the dance. there was no saving them.

leave. them. alone.

#fire and blood #house of the dragon #rhaenyra targaryen #jacaerys velaryon #rhaena of pentos #baela targaryen #aegon iii targaryen #mini rant #pro team black #anti team green #anti team green stans #y’all do not CARE about these kids #you just want to use them as scapegoats to prop up your actual favs #luke joff and both vis’ are usually left alone #bc luke is the reincarnation of all things evil #joff is considered the biggest dumbass #viserys is forgotten about #and visenya is used to make fun of rhaenyra for losing her long awaited daughter #keep my team black kids away from the targtowers 2k24

this boy really thought he would die a virgin (EVEN THOUGH HE DID) but like does he not look in the mirror every morning??? does he not see his own smiles? or his voice, or his adorableness, or his fictional existence?

I WANT TO BITE THIS MAN, I WOULD BARK FOR HIM, MY BRAIN CHEMISTRY WAS ALTERED AFTER BEING AWARE OF HIS EXISTENCE and he had such low self esteem like whattttt, cause if I was in the scream universe, rest assure I would have made him so cocky because I would have been such a simp, staring at with hearts in my eyes.

-Teenagers on twitter are legit fighting to the death over whether a fictional character is lesbian or bi

-Each side claims the other is "x-phobic" for disagreeing with their headcanon

-The character isnt confirmed as either

What happened to 'live and let live'? I honestly cant understand why people care so much about what other people think about a person that doesnt exist.

What bothered me the most was the twisted way each side claims that thinking differently is harmful somehow. No its not? Its great that we have many interpretations of the media we consume. Its great that many people of different identities can see themselves in one character. What is this jealousy over fictional characters? Theyre not yours, they belong to someone else, and you dont get to go around and police what people are "allowed" to see in them. Grow up.

And i get that. I get that feeling of seeing yourself in a fictional character that you headcanon as, say, a lesbian, and you come across a drawing of said character kissing a man. You feel a little grossed out. Betrayed. But that feeling is not universal truth. Someone else finds comfort in that character just like you, but in a different way than you. part of being an adult is understanding that you can't make a tantrum over every little thing that inconveniences you, and that includes this. This isn't erasure, this isnt harmful. Its simply... sharing.

Im not saying you have to like other headcanons, just accept that they're there. That theyre not a threat to you, your thoughts, your interpretations, or even canon itself. Learn to share the space, make fandom just a little less hostile.

#every time there is a wlw character this shit starts #so i wrote this lil rant yesterday and saved it in my draft unsure if i want to Get Into It tm #but browsing through the twitter tag today- it got worse #so much worse #so im posting it #yes the characters are cait and vi from arcane #2 characters i hc as lesbians #yet i cant help but feel disgusted seeing this mob of angry fans legit mocking and harassing ppl who disagree with them

Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon

Please play this game I am begging on my knees

Whats not to like:

1

Big robots fighting with oversized weapons

2

A lovely photo mode for all the screenshots you would ever need

3

Endless mech costumisation

4

Endless LOGO and DECAL constumisation

(This logo took about 3 hours of my day but I regret absolutely nothing)

5

Not one. Not two. But THREE great stories (with NG+ and NG++)

6

"621, the Balam Corporation wants you to burn down this orphenage for a handful of COAM. It's just a job, all of it. Stay focused on the job 621"

7

Handler Walter my beloved🥰

(He's actually just a disembodied voice in the game, credits to u/Count15 on Reddit for the fanart)

Also, shoutout to the lady in my head that calls me Studmuffin (love you Ayre)

8

Coughing baby vs hydrogen bomb (i.e : if you're gonna commit war crimes and/or throw away your humanity, do it in style)

9

(this one is just for you @zealfruity, if you're anyone else you can scroll past this one)

You can make a Transformer!

(This one is by iiiveliii on TikTok. I haven't found any great Starscreams, meaning YOU should be the first!)

10

If you're not @zealfruity, welcome back! So, for my last and final point:

THE MUSIC

If you weren't already enamoured by the visuals of this game, wait t'ill you hear its soundtrack.

These are two examples I cherry-picked from my favorites, but there's nothing more atmospheric than fighting giant robots while having these bangers in the background.

CLOSING REMARKS

AC6: Fires of Rubicon is an amazing game. It takes about 50-60 hours to complete (including NG+ and NG++), but I've sank more than 100+ hours into it as of writing this post. It offers an experience unlike any other, letting you not only build and costumize your massive war machine to your heart's content, experimenting with many different playstyles, but also let's you experience an amazing story with many hidden facades (in true FromSoftware style (did I mention this was a FromSoft game? Dark Souls FromSoft?)) and fight interesting and varied bosses.

Be warned, I have struggled on quite a few bosses, and even the tutorial boss is considered a "filter". However, when you do beat these ennemies, you feel a rush unlike any other.

I've spent all this time writing this and yet I haven't even talked about PvP, and thats because my enjoyment of it varies extremely depending on who I'm fighting. Some people run builds based around the meta (which I personnally find a bit boring, but if that's your vibe then go all out), but I find the truly entertaining matches to be players who aren't afraid to experiment, bringing unconventionnal weapons or builds and trying out interesting strategies. Some also throw all of that out of the window, and I've had quite a few matches end up with me and them simply throwing our weapons out and punching each other to death.

All around, I obviously could not recommend this game more. It's a good 9.5/10 for me, with my only criticism is that I wish there were more long-range and ballistic weapons (I'm a sucker for the sound of bullets ricocheing).

People please… Jinx literally knew Silco and Vander’s history. Y’all acting like she never questioned what led to the events in the cannery (unlike Vi, who just takes it at face value that Silco MUST be evil for what he did and Vander MUST have been an angel who didn’t reap what he sowed)/Silco lied about what transpired between them so he could use her and that’s why Jinx stayed with him.

But no, she’s clearly known the truth for YEARS.

Why is it so hard to believe she’d understand Silco’s motives then? Or here’s a more radical idea…that she actually agrees with him and believes in the cause? She has every reason to want independence from Piltover and the Enforcers’ rule.

#stop infantilizing her #it’s literally what vi does and it does no one any favours #y’all act like she has zero agency because she’s mentally ill #it’s gross #also y’all forgetting that she’s always wanted to blow people up lmao #silco didn’t plant that idea into her head #and in fact he didn’t want casualties if he could help it #he gets mad at her when she kills with no purpose which—she’s the one who has no qualms about that #silco resorts to killing only for very specific reasons #arcane #jinx #silco #vander #rant #my opinion

in today’s episode of “What Are You Angry About?” this quote from an interview Steven gave in Feb 2020 that BF originally wasn’t going to let him host Worth It:

According to Lim, Buzzfeed's original plan was to feature two white hosts while Lim wrote the show's scripts. (x)(x)

further proof that the BF company can perish now, thanks

#substitute that last line with the bugs bunny meme #I'm updating some of my worth it playlists and found this on the wiki #how DARE they #ofc Steven didn't hold any resentment bc he is a class act #I am not #I will stay mad about this #Vi Rants #also did I just spend 20 mins updating the WI wiki page bc someone refused to credit Steven properly? yes #yes I did

k so I’m in the middle of a HEATED debate with the parentals and wanted to know yall’s thoughts:

so I’m of the opinion that if you’re on a first date with someone it’s not unusual to expect them to ask or give you some indication, verbal or physical, that they’re about to hold your hand before they actually take your hand and hold it but apparently that’s “weird” and “not how the world works” and it’s like??? why not???

so for Context I love holding hands and bombarding my dear friends with physical affection but I will always announce before doing so - I’ll ask them if I can give them a hug or just walk up to them and announce “hug” - I genuinely do not see what is weird about wanting some warning before initiating physical contact *especially* if I’ve just started dating you and don’t know you that well.

is it just me?

#/gen question #i don’t understand #just ask #hand holding #vi rants #what is this nonsense about holding hands being “just something that happens”#no thank you very much #you will ask me #and I will probably not say no #but I will definitely feel uncomfortable if you don’t ask!!#or give me some sort of a warning!

[ENG/ESP] TRANSCRIPT

P: *reading tallulah's sign* LMAO he's asking to be a penguin too

P: OH, ooh. ok that's funny, ok ok

P: No, big Missa come first. We need big, big large, like two stories tall Missa first. That'll be way better I think

P: *leyendo el letrero de Tallulah* LMAO, él está pidiendo a ser un pingüino también.

P: Oh, ooh. ok, eso esta chistoso, ok, ok

P: No, Missa grande viene primero. Necesitamos que Missa sea grande, grande grande, como de dos pisos de altura primero. Eso será mucho mas mejor creo

#q!philza #q!missa #death duo #pissa #what i find funniest is that neither tallulah nor chayanne react at all to this #they're so used to their father ranting about wanting his husband to be big #im not saying qphils got a size thing (every fucking one of his characters atp) but im not saying he doesnt #the proof is in the pudding or smth like that #ojala esto tambien saca a los hispanohablentes porque vi el poll y se que no estoy solo #SALGAN SE DE MIS PAREDES Y PLATIQUEN MAMONES
