#sorry for the rant I just really Did Not like this tweet lmao

[snappycrow]

NO NO NO NO NO! I'M NOT GONNA JUST LET THIS SLIDE!

SBI (Sleepy Boys INC (incorporated)) Is a group name for Minecraft streamers Philza, Wilbur Soot, Technoblade and TommyInnit, that was "created" in 2020.

When i say "created" i mean named because they weren't like an official streamer group they were just a group of friends that were hanging out, streaming together.

Originally the group consisted of only Philza, Wilbur and Technoblade. Tommy joined later.

When the 3 of them were hanging out one night on February 17th 2020, just playing games they all at the same time tweted the same picture. Everyone got confused so Philza retweeted the tweet saying "this post was brought to you by Sleepy Boys Inc." Because it was like 4 am and they were all sleepy.

And this is how the name SBI got born!

Then Tommy joined.

During MCC 8 (Minecraft event) Tommy and Wilbur were teamed together. Tommy kept begging Wilbur that he wanted to join their group, so Wilbur said that he could if their team placed 5th or higher. Unfortunately that didn't go as it was supposed to. So Tommy had another chance in MCC 9. And they did it, they placed 5th and Tommy was on September 12th 2020, officially a part of SBI!

Those four hanged out a lot together and developed a sort of family dynamic. Because they were all different ages;

Tommy was 16 at the time,

Wibur was 24,

Technoblade was 20,

and Philza was 34.

So Philza became a sort of father figure, Technoblade and Wilbur were the older brothers and Tommy was the little brother of the group.

Because of different time zones and scheduals it was really rare for us to see them all play together on the same stream. Then the joke 4/4 was born.

If we saw all of them at the same place hanging out, we would start saying "oh, look 4/4 SBI!" as to all of them were hanging out that day, and streaming together.

Sadly in June 2022 Technoblade pasted away of cancer. (Rest in peace, king ❤️)

This didn't brake the group apart, not even the fandom but it definitely changed something.

We were still joking when the 3 of them were together that it was still 4/4, because Technoblade was now always with them. And he's still to this day.

The group are still very close friends. They are now together in a group channel called Sorry Boys.

But they all got different interests now, and are not hanging out on streams as often as they did.

Wilbur is a lead singer in his band Lovejoy, Tommy is starting a tour with his comedy show, and Philza is still playing Minecraft and probably will never stop lmao. But they are still very close friends off stream and will be for a log time on. :)

Anyways, i hope you all enjoyed this little rant. SBI is always gonna be so important to me and I'm never gonna let this name die. I don't think that anyone will of course. And if we keep talking about them, post art and write fan fics and AUs, I don't think that the name will ever die.

Anyways, SBI forever ❤️!

Fans of GD have this idea of who she, this grand person, but she was human and very flawed. Nothing wrong with that but both the character and her fans don't seem to realize this. If she did not get her way, she didn't want it. She had the love and the support but SHE choose to walk away, what happens after she left is not others fault.

Also, I agree with you, let people enjoy what they want. One, these are fictional characters, so to get pressed and angry over a fictional world is ridiculous. Two, it's not hard to ignore and scroll on by. Let people enjoy what they want, don't be an @ss about it. To those angry (both in CF and PD) talk about your ships favorite scenes or moments with your own fandom. Believe me, its more fun to talk about things you love than things that make you angry.

*Sorry to go off in your asks but I'm just so annoyed with some people in the fandom.

The thing that really pisses me off as far as the D@wsey of it all, is that most of their fans are also fans of Upste@d and see no issue with the hypocrisy of Halstead being able to move on but not Casey. They like to bring up "girl code" as if it actually matters. Maybe if Gabby didn't do what she did to both Casey and Brett, as far as leaving and not keeping in touch (especially with Brett), and generally being an awful wife and best friend at the end, it'd be different. These same people that love Gabby hate Erin for doing practically the same thing to Halstead. Gabby was worse, imo, because she was married! So, how exactly is it fair for Halstead to move on but not Casey? I don't give a damn if it's only because Gabby and Brett were supposed "best friends". They're not anymore, and probably never really were. Kidd and Foster (god do I miss Foster, even if I love Violet) are her actual best friends. Like I said, I don't hate Gabby, and I wish the writers knew how to write characters off without ruining them (though I think them writing Gabby off the way they did was because Haas was trying to convince Monica to stay until the very last minute), but her fans drive me insane. Also, this rant may be because Twitter (fuck X) now doesn't block the tweets of people you block anymore and I see the toxic side of that fandom again.

And thank you! I might be ranting in general here, but I've never once said anything to anyone about who they ship, even if I'm not a fan of that ship. I never will. How hard it is to not go into the tags of other ships and talk shit and actually tweet directly at those shippers? I feel for them, but when I thought Brettsey had no hope, I stayed away from Fire and read fanfic. It was a much more pleasant experience not interacting with something that mad me sad, or mad.

Feel free to rant and talk all you want about it! This is my outlet for that because no one else watches Fire that I know besides my parents. My mom isn't that invested anymore and my dad likes everything no matter how bad it gets, lmao.

Wow. So there are A LOT of thoughts about the whole Gar and Rachel ship on titans. Most people are saying negative things about how it shouldn’t happen, but honestly, I don’t think it’s that bad.

First of all, let me address the age gap between the actors. Yes, it is nine years and yes, Teagan (Rachel’s actress) just turned eighteen, but I genuinely don’t think she has any qualms. I do think that the reason the show stalled their relationship for so long was because Teagan wasn’t comfortable with it. There have been many actresses like Keira Knightly who’ve done romantic roles opposite much older actors even at the age of sixteen. So I don’t think age was a problem for the show, I think they just respected Teagan’s wishes. However, now that Rachel’s back with Gar, we can see that the writers are definitely teasing a romantic relationship between them, something they’ll maybe build up to in season 5.

Second, THE CHEMISTRY. The writers would not have put that much that much romantic chemistry between Rachel and Gar in the first season if they hadn’t, some point, intended to continue the ship. While Gar and Rachel took a break as separate characters on screen, we focused on other characters like Conner, Dick (a whole lot of him), Barbara, Jason, Blackfire, and even Kory. Now that the focus is back on the original titans (+ Tim Drake WHICH IM THRILLED ABOUT OMGOMGOMG), I’m willing to bet our garchel ship is going to sail.

Multiple times throughout the show, Rachel and Gar have had special moments with each other—once at the Lazarus pit, another time in the forest away from the RV, and so many more. When Gar and Rachel first held hands in the forest, I was sure the writers were teasing the ship. I know they can hold hand platonically too, but the way in which the scene was taken implied more. Additionally, Dick and Kory have teased Garchel for a while now starting from the first season.

A lot of people have then asked, “What about Teagan’s tweet?” Well, here’s the exact screenshot of her tweet.

This is common behavior for a movie actor because they are legally not allowed to ruin the plot. Also, she was only saying this in response the scene linked NOT the whole show. I think she must already know, and I think she was informed when she signed up for the role. So guys, IF Garchel does happen, please know that she probably was t forced into it because she is an actress and she was most definitely told about it before she finished signing all contracts, especially with a renowned company like HBO. And even after this tweet, here is a screenshot of one tweet she posted that I’m sure was meant to tease the Garchel fan base:

I’m not saying this means gar but I’m also saying it could, because let’s admit it. Season four, so far, did explore gar and Rachel’s relationship a bit farther than just platonic. There is a reason Gar is even closer to Rachel than he is to Conner or Tim.

This brings me to my last point. The show has literally stuck to almost every single titans storyline they could incorporate from the comics and the animated movies. They’ve tried really hard to stick to the script and since Garchel is a cannon ship, I think it’s going to happen. Unless they introduce Damien as a Robin, which I know they won’t for a while, Garchel will happen. Even then, I think in this version of the titans, Damien is going to be shown much younger than raven which removes him as a prospective romantic interest. This tells me that Gar and Rachel is most likely going to be the cannon ship, even if it is really slowly.

Okay rant over lmao. These are just my thoughts but idk. I’m also overthinking and I feel like I sound desperate but yk what I’m a fan of literally every DC ship ever. Sorry :)

EM and FK fans are fighting on Twitter because of Moonlight Chicken... and I kinda get both sides, it is true that EM series had a lot less promotion compared not only to Eclipse but a lot other GMMTV series, and there were some toxic FK fans demandig way too much in regard of Alan and Kaipa for MLC, and things escalated today cuz the screenwriter of MLC, wich is tha SAME as Only Friends thing I discovered today myself and I think a lot don't know, made a post for MLC regarding FK and EM fans got mad asking why he is "promoting" them and not EM, demanding also why he is not promoting EM more in a very disrespectfull way...

to be fair this fight could be a way to talk about the show to make people tune in for the drama of the fandom idk... but it is sad that this fights have to start, like the one for VV with ON stans and JS stans; considering that all this actors are all very close friends especially First Khaotung and Mix and it frustrate me that this fights always have to start making a crack in the fandoms and bringing a shadow over a show cuz a lot of people will remember only that of the show...

sorry for the rant I didn't know where to express this cuz even tho I have basically no follower on twitter I am always scared people will turn on me and tweeting about a fught triggers my anxiety but I still wanted to express my frustration, cuz I am SO EXITED for both MLC wich I have been waiting for for months and Only Friends wich with only a trailer literally stole my heart

thank you if you read this and also for being a really nice person, and one of the biggest FirstKhao stans here the boys deserve all the love, and EarthMix too

sigh.... fandom fights are nothing new so I'm not surprised but the FK-EM thing sounds ridiculous to me.

I don't really want to get involved but to say FK are getting more promotion than EM is not quite true. Atots is still one of the biggest gmm shows and got tons of promotion back then. And it's about to get a revival once our skyy 2 airs. cupids last wish was a bit of a fail but only because Disney was involved so there wasn't much buzz around it at gmm. The Eclipse is FK's first show and I wouldn't say it's getting more promotion than atots back then. EM got fixed after atots and so did FK after the eclipse so isn't that equal? I think so. (this isn’t directed against you btw but against the twitter population lol)

The thing about FK stealing EM's thunder in MLC does seem a bit more reasonable to me, but also--- what bullshit lmao. MLC is EM's show so do these people seriously think FK are gonna steal the show or something? I guarantee you, they're gonna be in like 2 episodes and that's it lmao. People need to chill. And to attack the screenwriter? Nah sis. go touch some grass.

But yeah this rings a bell regarding ON during VV. The fact that the episodes where ON had an appearance got 5x more views than the rest and then people commenting things like "there wasn't enough ON in VV" drove me up the walls lmao. That being said, I hope this won't be the case for FK in MLC. I have not received the FK fandom as toxic so far and I hope it doesn't get worse than what you mentioned.

But anyway I can't be bothered to genuinely be upset about all this so let's just.... ignore it lmao. I'm gonna watch MLC in peace, get excited to see EM in the spotlight again, enjoy the FK screentime and call it a day lmao. Both EM and FK are wonderful pairings and they deserve the same amount of love so let's leave it at that ✌🏻

I don't understand how people think bakugou is a bad person. Like.. did you all just stop reading/watching after the first chapter/episode? Even my friend, who HATES bakugou agrees he developed over the series and isnt a bad person. Take it from someone who was bullied once- i WISH my bullies went through the same development lmao. I sure as shit never got an apology. I sure as hell wasnt obsessed with my bully and considered him one of my closest friends (if not my CLOSEST friend) at all. Thats not to say suicide baiting is okay, but this is the same mentality that causes people to dig up tweets from 10 years ago and is why people think people (fictional and in real life) are completely incapable of change ever. I think people project their own situation onto bakugou, and that's fine and all, but that's like... to say he's a "bad person" because of how he USED to be is a bit unfair... and you're right about the autism thing- a lot of us autistics SUCK! And a lot of us are capable of being mean or unkind, and also complex, not just "bad" or "good" people. Some of my friends used to be antis- really outspoken ones too- I don't approve of their actions, but do i think they're bad people for being shitty 15 year olds? No. They grew and changed and became more understanding and remorseful about their behaviour.

Sorry for the little rant btw just, yeah, sharing my thoughts!

One thing that completely throws MHA discourse off, is that what people consider a good person in the MHAverse does not equal a good person IRL. I'd say the crimes MHA does and doesn't care about are quite ???

Examples, Iida and Todoroki Rei.

For Iida, its cool motive, still attempted murder. He's not a good person just because he happens to be class pres. Mha be like "I can excuse attempted murder, but I draw the line at bullying"

If Bakugo deserves an arc for his crimes, so does Iida, I'm sorry. Honestly, they could combine Iida and Todoroki (have Touya "die" in place of ingenium) and nothing would be lost. Sorry Iida fans.

And Rei isn't the morally pure victim the fandom and canon thinks she is. Being in an abusive relationship and having mental health issues doesn't mean you aren't responsible for your actions.

Besides, what a large amount of fandom doesn't get, and this isn't MHA exclusive is that sometimes wish fulfillment is better than realism. Is it realistic for people to change for the better, I'd say so! I've never called myself an optimist. Does it make us feel slightly better about shit that happened to us, yes!

That being said, if you want to write realism commit to the bit, you know?

i only recently got back into the snc fandom after not watching them for years lmao so i didn’t know any of the elton/corey lore or what went down

just wanted to say i found your post/rant really interesting and let me into a side of them i really didn’t know about since i’ve been MIA for so long

anyway you’re cool :)

i've calmed down a little since my rant (not a whole lot, but enough lol) and if snc accept elton's apology, that's fine.

however to me, it doesn't make up for what he did for three years. elton continuously said nasty things about snc to fans in public on tour (as someone explained their experience on reddit) and then in comments and tweets. and even if snc did what elton claimed they did back then, that didn't warrant the constant pettiness that he gave them. i get feeling slighted or pissed that someone stole your idea (which isn't what snc did but is what elton claimed and then tried to say that fans said that....) but doing it so publicly is the part that grosses me out the most, personally.

snc are private ppl. they keep a lot of shit under wraps. so to air out your grievances so loudly in front of fans, and then turn around three years later and blame them for taking it too far..... nah, sorry uncle elton. you're wrong.

fans took it too far by being mean and sending deaths over actual made up lies that they started. i will not argue against that. on multiple occasions i have called out tiktoks and reported ppl spreading lies about elton. but none of that negates what he actually did, which was bad mouthing snc for years over something that he felt like they did when that wasn't reality.

i'm glad they got to make up, since clearly snc really wanted to do that. but i truly hope this is the end of their relationship and we see no more from the four of them. let it now just be mutual respect for one another and nothing more. bc i still wont support a collab with either party. that's my personal line in the sand. if others don't care, cool. do you.

sorry this is just gonna be me talking a bit about my experience playing live a live vs how i feel about something that’s been dear to my soul since i was 5 years old (pokemon). Slight LAL spoilers I guess lmao.

The big word I can use to describe Live A Live is REFRESHING. Me, personally, I am such a fan of sprite work. I love sprites. Black and White I think are the most visually appealing Pokemon games. I really can’t even say I minded the XY style... I think ORAS really, really benefited from how beautiful it was, and I’m glad I was able to see Hoenn remade in 3D. The experience is unmatched.

But.

I think that the switch to 3D models loses a lot of style. I think it loses a lot of, let’s say class. I played a bit of the FF4 remake and ooh, boy. I get it. I get why they want to switch to 3D models. But I can’t even express how overjoyed I am that they did NOT do that with Live A Live. They didn’t go with chunky, clunky, ugly polygonal chibis or even worse, realistically proportioned 3D models. I can’t IMAGINE what a nightmare that would’ve been.

Instead they took a game that was sprites, and made it nicer sprites. They made the backgrounds deep and detailed. Extremely fucking cool. I remember being excited when I saw Octopath - but I don’t like JRPGs, and I have to be honest, I do NOT like the art style of Octopath. Every trailer I saw for that game... my big thought was WHERE ARE THE FUCKING COLORS? That’s even a complaint I have about the official art for LAL’s cast... I kind of hate it all. I hate the desaturation.

But LAL itself, the actual game, HOLY hell! I played Prehistory first which was a fine chapter, I’m pretty neutral on it but it was so COLORFUL! VIBRANT! Then I played Edo Japan which was darker, because it is night time. But I found myself constantly stopping, and saying, out loud, “Wow, this game is beautiful”. I tweeted some screenshots with that as a caption, which was the first LAL tweet I made that Tokita-san faved and retweeted.

This was the view that first made me really go, “Wow”.

I used to edit sprites when I was a kid. I couldn’t draw, but I loved editing Pokemon trainers into my OCs. With the switch to 3D models, I was dead in the water. I couldn’t do shit! It kinda sucked. I cried when I got to play with my Pokemon in Pokemon Amie. But for all we gained with the 3D models, I feel like we lost a lot, too. Legends Arceus is exempt from this discussion as it is a shining beauty of a game and I adore it. JUST WISH I COULD HEAR THE FUCKING MUSIC.

This is a disorganized rant but basically, I’m just saying I’m so happy that there is a market for games like Live A Live to be remade, to look like how they were always dreamed up to be. And that doesn’t mean 3D models, it doesn’t mean HD. Sometimes it just means a coat of love, and that so much feels like what this game got.

Recent Pokemon games don’t feel like that to me. I didn’t hate Sword and Shield, but boy, are they ugly and bland. Not once did I ever say “wow” or even FEEL any sort of awe or joy at the environments. The Eternatus fight was not impressive and I hated the entire plot of that game. The Crown Tundra DLC was ok because I got horses. But the whole place was just so fucking ugly. I don’t just blame the UK for that either. Shit was unfinished and looked like garbage.

Scarlet and Violet are giving me the same feeling. I’m not excited. The environments look maybe better, but I feel no style. I don’t feel love. It looks like everything else, but maybe slightly worse. It’s all the same. I also felt like that seeing every fucking Square game in the Direct today. Shit all looks the same, I can’t tell any of it apart.

But I see Live A Live, and it even looks so different from Octopath. My only memories of it, and from the sequel’s trailer today, are washed out browns and bronzes and dust and blah. But just look at the screenshot up there. It’s supposed to be night time and there’s purples. Reds. Oboromaru’s motif color is purple and it’s washed throughout the entire chapter. The insides of the castle are lit with candles and you can feel that.

And that’s just one chapter. Damn. I fucking hated the Middle Ages chapter but I can still say it’s beautiful. I enjoyed dipshitting around in the Dominion of Hate for a while, GRINDING UP MASARU’S FUCKIN LEVEL 2 ASS, cause the place was still so pretty despite it all. I felt welcome in that game and like it was happy to have me. Even if I’m some fake fan who didn’t play the original and had only heard of it, and only had a couple songs on my ipod because Yoko composed them.

Idk man. I’ve just got a ton of thoughts. It’s been a really, really long time since a game deeply affected me like Live A Live has. Legends Arceus having a couple bangers and also having Ingo in it is not the same. I loved that game but it didn’t hit me in my soul like Live A Live has. I’m hoping this game will stick with me and be at the front of my heart for the rest of my life.

And I want more people to enjoy it, too.

Anyways look at these fucking sick-ass sprites of Edgelord of Dark Oersted they fucking rock

tbh it's not twitter if people aren't making up reasons to fight. and omg i love scrolling through fandom drama, especially fandoms i'm not a part of, it's like all the entertainment and no stress dkfljsd

rant buddies <3 that would be so cute!! me and my sister are both huge louis fans so my parents have to deal with a lot lmao. my mom just smiles and nods but my dad lowkey exhibits fan behavior sometimes (he's points out the number 28 whenever we see it anywhere 😭). he didn't escape the louis effect on straight men i fear

i loveee cooking shows and as an american i can tell u that even americans have no idea what's going on in those cooking shows. the amount of cheese and meat they use is genuinely terrifying sometimes

i knew you'd be a zouis baby :,) a zouis edit can make me cry on my best day i miss them sm 😭 the parasocial relationship really hits with them bc i want them to be friends again and interact so badly,, every time louis likes one of zayn's posts 5 years are added to my life

qotd because i'm curious: how did you get into stanning 1d/louis, and where are u at with all that rn slkdfjkl basically what's ur fandom journey?

i made my mum and little sister louies!! my mum has been a louis girl since 1d days like she always screamed ‘my little louis’ every time his parts came on 😭

i reaaally feel you on the zouis like i am like oh yeah i know they have lives and probably won’t ever be close again but part of me needs them to reconcile as if it’s my own friendship lmao

my 1d stan story is very longwinded hsksj but basically i hated them for the first 3 years because i was annoying and ~ not like other girls ~ but then i had a really bad breakup at 16 and basically had nothing to cling onto and somehow ended up a 1d fan lmao. I was primarily a harry girl at first and then slipped into larry and then disappeared a bit post-hiatus and only really kept up with harry before finding louis again during lockdown in 2020 and he’s had my heart since then, i came back to the fandom around that time too. Nowadays I wouldn’t say I was heavily involved, i don’t really enjoy the larrie side anymore and i’m not super active on twitter anymore but i’ll always be about to support louis even if it’s just a quick thing. I have a lot of other complicated feelings around it but this is already too much of a rant shskdj basically i’m here but i’m not here, idc about 1d anymore and i’m mostly here for my friends and louis tweets, and i’ll write fics if people continue to want them because i like writing!

that was so much omg i’m sorry! i hope you’ve had a good day ♥️

[lonelier-version-of-you]

Saw this on Twitter today and I’ve been rolling my eyes so hard since.

“It’s very telling”? Of WHAT? The fact that they like things? Because I’m pretty sure that is just part of being a person lmao. Just because they’re advocates doesn’t mean everything they do has to be ~advocacy~. They are also allowed to enjoy things.

Also, there’s, like, next to no autistic actors changing the portrayal of autism on TV out there to highlight. There’s Talia Grant, Kayla Cromer, and Lillian Carrier and I’m pretty sure that’s it. The other autistic actors playing autistic roles on TV out there are relegated to bit parts or guest roles and/or the same old offensive stereotypes, and neither of those things are even close to “changing the portrayal of autism”, regardless of casting.

I don’t understand this obsession with saying that casting autistic actors = good rep and casting allistic actors = bad rep. If that were the case we’d all have to stop liking Abed Nadir even though AN AUTISTIC PERSON LITERALLY CREATED HIM.

I’ve seen allistic actors get autistic experiences down so perfectly it made me cry. (And no, not just Guy Henry, though admittedly I do have him in mind lol. Danny Pudi also did a fantastic job, and William Beck gets autistic mannerisms so right that he gets the same criticisms of “being wooden” and “not showing enough emotion” as real autistic people!) If that’s “mimicry”, then fuck it, it’s damn good, chameleon-level mimicry.

I really, really don’t get where this idea that “autistic people are so utterly different a Real Human™ could never accurately portray one” comes from, or why on Earth people think it’s progressive. It’s true that an allistic person could never 100% understand what autistic people go through, but like... a straight person could never 100% understand what gay people go through either and, while we joke about “how straight actors playing gay characters kiss”, I don’t see anyone seriously clamouring for gay characters to ALWAYS be played by gay actors. Because we all know that would end badly and result in pigeonholing of actors based on sexuality. So why can’t we apply the same logic to this?

Anyways I’m going to be extra enthusiastic in my upcoming thread (saving it for the episode’s 2-year anniversary lol) praising Guy Henry’s performance in That meltdown scene, just to spite this person for being the physical embodiment of the No Fun Allowed meme.

ETA: Also, like. Why can’t we do both? Why can’t I e.g. be happy and celebrate for Talia Grant’s success and praise how surprisingly well Danny Pudi replicated (common, obviously not universal) autistic mannerisms and speech patterns? These things aren’t mutually exclusive.

**********

It had been about a week since Karl's slip up but everything was already more normal than Y/n had expected it to be. Of course, George, Sapnap and Quackity were all very understanding and gave her space while simultaneously reassuring her that she was safe with them. She fully believed it too, she knew she was safe with them and they weren't going to tell anyone her name.

The one unusual thing was now she had a heavy guilt, like someone dropped another sandbag in her stomach, every time Dream texted her. If the others knew, it was only fair that she tell him her name too, right? I mean, it's Dream. Dream! The boy who had quickly slipped his way into her life and, though she wouldn't admit it to Karl or Naomi, her heart.

But how? Does she just come right out and say it or wait until it gets brought up? She hadn't practiced telling anyone her name because she wasn't planning on doing it any time soon. Though, maybe she should have been seeing as she was going to see them all in person in a little over a month.

Regardless of the guilt, Y/n had other things to worry about today; Quackity was coming to visit. Karl had picked him up from the airport and the two of them spent all day catching up and doing who knows what but Y/n still hadn't met him. She was scared. She wasn't scared of Quackity, but scared because it was the first time one of her online friends would be able to put a face to her name and voice.

Y/n shuffled across her living room rug and reached for her phone on the coffee table, looking for some sort of distraction while she waited for them to arrive.

-

Y/n rolled her eyes but smiled, shaking her head as she threw her phone on the couch. Okay, he's right. It's gonna be fine. It's gonna be great. It's just Quackity. If he said anything rude or annoying or anything she could literally just step on him like a bug.

A sharp knock on the front door of her apartment snapped her back into reality. She shook her limbs of nervousness as she made her way to the door, two familiar voices begging to be acknowledged from the other side.

"Let us iiinnn!! Y/nnn!!!!" Karl whined.

After countless times asking the same question, she finally convinced Karl that she was okay with him using her real name in front of Quackity. He clearly still felt guilty about telling the boys her name, asking her multiple times in different ways whether he should call her Y/n or Bugsy in front of the guest. She finally got it through his head that she didn't mind either way.

"Hold on!" she yelled back. She unlocked the door and swung it open to see Karl and Quackity. "So impatient."

"Holy shit, you are tall! Goddammit, I thought that was a joke!"

Y/n laughed shyly at the greeting, looking at Quackity like he was crazy. "Hello to you too. Tried to warn you, dude."

"Yeah but, damn! You're tall and attractive, what the hell?"

"Dude," she said with a warning in her voice. She thought the flirting on Twitter was funny, but in real life she got embarrassed easier and wasn't a fan. "I'm about to kick you out of my house before I even let you in."

This was weird, meeting Quackity before meeting some of her other friends. She loved Quackity, but she had known George much longer and Sapnap even before that. There was no problem with meeting Quackity, she just had no idea how to act since she felt like she hardly knew him.

"Am I allowed to tell people that you're hot?" he asked as he fell on her couch, Karl following right after.

"Quackity!" Y/n yelled, her face heating up at a compliment. "Seriously?"

Karl cackled and shoved Quackity. "Shut up, Alex! No, you're not allowed!"

"Sorry, is that compliment reserved for Dream?" He cackled at his own joke and Y/n's face heated up even more.

"I seriously will kick you out of my house."

"You wanna be flirty on main but not in real life?" Quackity scoffed.

"I'm not flirty on main, you are!" she laughed. "Seriously, don't."

"Okay, sorry, I'll stop," Quackity promised with a laugh in his words.

The three of them fell into easy conversation, mostly because Karl and Quackity were already comfortable around each other at this point. They eventually decided to go to the mall, just to mess around and do something.

*reminder: covid doesn't exist in this fic bc we only want happy things so ignore their masks :P*

Y/n frowned as she unlocked her front door, staring at her phone. She had been so happy with all the fans freaking out about the meetup so she looked at the trending list, expecting to see a flood of keyboard smashes and happiness, but that's not all she ended up seeing. BUGKARLITY was trending, so she scrolled through the tweets and was upset to see not all of them were positive. In fact, when she typed her name in the search bar, lots of the tweets using her name were rather mean.

A few that stuck in her head called her an attention whore and said that her friends only flirted with her because she paid them too. Who on earth would even do that? Some hurt way more than others but she tried to push them aside. It wasn't like this was the first time she had seen comments like this, but they had only gotten worse since her Minecraft date with Dream. She was worried it was cause more hate for her friends and the last thing she wanted was to be the cause of their own hate.

She typed several different messages to Dream, deleting them all after she reread them. She felt like she had to request the same thing from him in a different way. Maybe because she felt like his words meant more, even if he really was just joking like the rest of them. She decided to call him instead of texting.

"Hi!" he chirped happily from the other end.

"Hi, Dream," she said as her chest filled with something warm at the sound of his voice. "How are you doing?"

"Good," he dragged out the word. "How are you?"

"Okay."

"Just okay? What's up?"

"Um," she started, immediately forgetting the words she decided she'd use. "I just... would you mind, uh, not flirting with me so much on, like, Twitter and streams and stuff like that?"

There was a silence before Dream's frantically apologetic words came through. "Yes, of course, oh my gosh. I'm so sorry. If I had known I was making you uncomfortable, I wouldn't have—"

"Wait, no," she interrupted but he must not have heard.

"—said things like... oh gosh. Bug, I'm really sorry—"

"Dream!" she raised her voice, getting him to stop ranting. "You don't make me uncomfortable."

"Oh. Really?"

"Of course not. I actually think it's really..." Cute? Adorable? Endearing? "funny," she decided.

"Oh. Then why...?"

She sighed heavily and explained what she told the others. "So, yeah. I just don't want you guys getting hate because of me so I figure if you stop then... you know."

"Bug..." he said gently. "I'm really sorry. I promise you that I don't—none of us think those things about you."

"I know."

"No, seriously," he said, clearly not believing her. "You need to understand that I..." he paused. "I mean what I say. Always."

Always? she thought. There's a few things he's said that certainly he didn't really mean... like calling her cute?

"I don't joke around like that unless I want to. I wouldn't say things like I say to you unless I really, really, genuinely considered you a close friend and felt comfortable around you. And I do."

Her heart swelled. "Thanks, Dream. I just... maybe don't do it so much for right now? Online, at least," she clarified, not wanting to deprive herself completely of Dream's flirting.

"Yeah, if that's what you want, of course."

"Well, I don't want you to stop flirting with me but, yeah."

He chuckled. "Oh, you do like when I flirt with you?"

She hummed and changed the subject. "Did I interrupt you doing anything?"

"No," his teasing voice dropped and was back to his regular self. "I'm just editing the video we filmed the other day."

"Oh, the 'Minecraft, but you can't touch the floor'?" she asked.

"Yeah."

"Oh," she said, not meaning to sound disappointed. "I'll let you get back to it—"

"No. I mean, you can stay on the phone. Unless you're busy."

She smiled and put her phone on speaker and set it next to her foot on the floor. "I was just gonna paint. So I can stay."

Before she knew it, almost two hours had passed of them sitting in comfortable silence, occasionally speaking to share something with the other before going back to their tasks. It was comforting knowing she didn’t need to speak constantly and could just hang out with Dream.

Y/n's phone rested on the floor next to her, Dream on speakerphone on the other end, only the sounds of his keyboard clicking letting her know he hadn't fallen asleep or hung up. She wasn't sure when they started doing this, staying on the phone even when they had nothing to talk about, but they had done it a few times before. They had talked on the phone and Discord many times but it was usually always with purpose, not usually this silently-enjoying-each-others-presence nonsense. Who was she kidding calling it nonsense, she enjoyed it an embarrassingly insane amount.

She repositioned so she was laying on her stomach as she finished sketching an image that was in her mind.

"Hey, you still there?" Dream asked softly.

"Yeah. Sorry, am I taking away from your sitting in silence time with George?" she joked.

Dream chuckled lightly. "Nah, you're more fun. I was just seeing if you ditched me for Karl yet."

"Nah, you're more fun," she mimed truthfully. "But I'm very focused on this drawing."

"Can I see it when you're done?"

"Don't expect too much. It looks bad."

"If you don't tell me what it is, I can't know how accurate or inaccurate it is."

"Very true..." she trailed off, holding the canvas further away to examine it all at once. She wanted the sketch to be perfect before she made permanent choices with paint. She enjoyed the serenity they maintained even when talking, voices low and delicate like they were keeping secrets but not quite whispering. "Are you almost done editing your video from the other day?"

"Sorta. I'm at the part where you and Sapnap almost died laughing because a ghast knocked George into lava and then Sapnap laughed so hard he fell into lava."

She chuckled, remembering the situation vividly. "That was so funny. The way George screams is so funny."

"Let Naomi know that," he mumbled, causing Y/n to gasp.

"Dream!" she laughed loudly and he joined.

"Sorry, sorry, sorry. It's true though."

"Disgusting!"

A distant voice sounded on the other end and she assumed it was Sapnap. "What do you want for dinner?"

Dream responded with a soft, "Nothing, I'm good."

"Are you talking to Bugsy?"

He must have responded physically because the next sound was Sapnap's very clear, much more lively voice speaking directly into the phone. "Hi, Bugsy!"

"Hi, Sapnap!"

"Can you tell Dream to eat some damn food? This man literally hasn't eaten a single thing all goddamn day."

"Dream," Y/n scolded slowly. "Please eat."

"I'm not hungry."

"I'm not showing you my painting until you eat."

A door closed on the other end and she took that as a sign that Sapnap had left.

"I don't wanna see it anyway. It's probably trash."

"Take that back!" she gasped lightly. She looked at the canvas as she grabbed the first paint color and laughed. It was only a sketch and it was already trash. "Fine, then I won't go on the trip if you don't eat in the next ten minutes."

"That's punishing yourself too though."

"Who says I want to see you?" she asked.

"I never said anything about not seeing me being the punishment."

She had been caught. "It was implied."

"Sure it was."

"It's true though. Who says I wanna see your stupid face?"

He didn't say anything, but an incoming FaceTime call lit up Y/n's phone. A FaceTime call from him.

Her smile dropped. "Clay?"

"Answer it," his voice was lower and her heart started beating faster. Was he really about to show her his face to prove a point? Reveal his biggest secret that only a few close friends knew? To her of all people? She made sure she couldn't be seen in the small window and pressed accept, the voice call ending and the FaceTime call starting.

To her surprise, what came into view wasn't his face, but the logo of the hoodie he was wearing, the simple smile of his merch taunting her. She laughed, the anxiety slowly fading away as it was replaced with a heavy feeling in her stomach. Was she disappointed? Maybe a little, but he teased her into believing she would see him.

"Oh, wow! Dream face reveal! He looks just like his icon, no way!!!"

His chest moved up and down as he laughed, not moving the camera away. "You heard it here first, guys! You've known my face all along, the logo is actually my face!"

She laughed and returned to painting, not paying any more attention to her phone since he was now also showing his ceiling, a small corner of his monitor in frame but nothing else. "I mean it though, if you don't eat, I'm going to be so mad I won't even want to be friends anymore. Or you'll die from malnourishment before we get the chance to meet."

"I doubt it. I'm just not hungry."

"Whatever."

"Oh, hey, so you met Quackity today. How was it?"

"Very scary."

"Yeah?" he asked sympathetically, urging her to explain if she wanted.

"Yeah. But it turned out okay! He didn't act any different so it was fine. It was mostly just awkward. He's also so freaking loud. You would not believe how much louder he and Karl get when they're together."

"I can imagine. Aren't they doing a stream right now or something?"

"Yeah, I think so. I don't wanna watch though, I've had enough of them for the month."

Dream laughed. "How will you deal with them together for New Years'? It'll be for like two weeks."

"Who knows if I'll actually go?"

"Wait, what?" he asked abruptly, not even bothering to hide the disappointment in his voice. His keyboard stopped clicking and she could picture him staring at his phone as if looking at her. "Of course you're going."

"Not if you don't eat food! You have, like, 3 minutes to eat something until I officially am busy doing other things whenever the trip is."

Dream groaned and clicked a few things on his computer before the image on the screen became blurry as he walked through the house, still pointing it at the ceiling. She looked away again and kept painting.

"Quackity's really funny though," she continued. "It was super awkward at first but it was fun to have someone else to help me make fun of Karl."

"Wait, Bug," Dream called out over the sound of wrappers crinkling.

"Hm?" She hummed, continuing to paint.

"Bug," his voice was much softer and he sounded nervous.

She looked at her screen and dropped the paintbrush as she focused on what she saw, grabbing her phone and holding it closer to her face so she could see, still making sure she wasn't in view. All the anxiety from the beginning of the FaceTime suddenly came back and hit her like a truck. Sitting on her screen, waiting to be seen, was Dream. His hood was up, tufts of blonde hair sticking out, and he was standing with his back towards a dark room, the dim light from his pantry making his face just visible.

He held up a cookie in front of his actual, real face. "Are you watching?"

"Y-yea... I... Yeah. I'm watching. Is that really you?"

He nodded once before shoving the cookie in his mouth. "There, I consumed food," he announced, his voice muffled by the cookie. "Now you're legally obligated to come."

"I—What? CLAY! WHAT?"

"What?" he asked innocently as he chewed, walking back to his room and still holding the phone up to show his face. His room light was on, making his face much more visible. If Y/n thought he was attractive in the harsh pantry light, he must have looked like a god in his room lighting, even as pixelated as he was due to the quality of FaceTime. He fell on his bed and Y/n could only gape at his features. He slumped against his headboard, surrounded by roughly a thousand pillows, sporting a small, shy smile as he stared at the screen. "Bug, what?"

She opened her mouth but no words came out. Needless to say, he was unbelievably handsome. Part of the speechlessness was from the shock that he showed his face out of the blue, but obviously, the majority of it was that he was pretty much the most attractive person she'd ever seen. It should be illegal for someone to look that good in a hoodie, especially when pixelated.

"Hmm," he hummed thoughtfully. "Wanna take back what you said earlier?" He bit into another cookie.

"W-what did I say earlier?" Why was she stuttering???

"You said you don't wanna see me and that I'm ugly," he teased.

She paused for too many seconds too long before finally muttering, "you arrogant son of a bitch." He laughed loudly at that.

His eyes crinkled and he threw his head back. So that's what he looks like when he wheezes, she thought to herself, pretty.

Dream shuffled his position on his bed and rested his head on one of his hands. He looked so comfy. "Why are you so quiet, weirdo?" he mumbled.

She set her phone back down and touched her cheeks with her hands and looked away for a moment, grounding herself to the real world for a second. She couldn't process her thoughts when she was staring at a man as gorgeous as Clay. "I don't know, maybe because you gave me no warning before showing me your face? Or because you failed to mention that you're incredibly hot?"

She was so glad she had looked back at her phone or else she would have missed the glorious sight of his cheeks turning bright red before he turned the camera back to his ceiling. "Oh my gosh."

"Aw cute, I made you blush."

"Shut up," he mumbled. "You threatened to not come if I didn't eat something!"

"You didn't have to—you showed me your freaking face just to prove you ate a cookie!! DREAM! I would have believed you if you just said you ate something!" she laughed breathlessly, staring at the phone now for a chance to see him again. "I was joking anyway!"

"Sure you were."

"I was."

"Well, oh well. You deserved to see me anyway."

"Oh, I deserve to see you?" She laughed. "How big is your ego?"

"You know what I meant," he groaned. "You got doxxed by Karl and you met Quackity in person. And you've clearly had a bad day because of all the hate and stuff. You've done a lot of stressful things recently and you deserved to be let in on a secret too."

He was so sweet. Like, tooth-rotting, Halloween candy stash hidden under a kid's bed, upset tummy sweet. She also couldn't get over the fact that he was a million times cuter when he was shy like he was being now, his voice soft and unsure. It contrasted vastly with the confident, loud-mouthed Dream everyone usually saw, though she liked that Dream too. She wished he could show his face for just one more second to see what he looked like shy. Probably sickeningly adorable.

This was it, wasn't it? The chance she had been waiting for to tell him her name? He just let her in on his biggest secret, now he was the one deserving to be let in.

"Y/n," she said with a confident, but soft voice.

There was a long pause. "W-what?"

"Y/n."

He understood the second time immediately. "Y/n..." he tested, the smile in his voice clear as day. "I like it."

"Yeah, well, I guess you deserved to know the secret too."

"I would have been content never knowing."

"Really?" She didn't believe him. He seemed like the type to never be satisfied, always looking for something better. Not in a greedy way, but in a motivational, goal-oriented big achiever way.

"Really," he hummed. "I already feel like you're too good to be true so I wouldn't be surprised if you weren't a real person."

It was silent as she tried to collect her thoughts.

"Bug? You okay?"

"Yeah, I... it's just a lot."

"Sorry."

"No, it's not you. Well... I don't know. I just don't know what I'm supposed to say when you say things like that," she admitted.

He paused. "I think you always have the perfect responses when I say things like that."

"What do I usually say?" She smiled shyly, pulling her hoodie up to her lips.

"You usually call me a nerd or say you can't stand me. 'Oh my gosh I cannot stand you'," he mimicked before laughing.

"What? How is that the perfect response to you saying you can't believe I'm real?"

He hummed and she could practically hear him shrugging. "Because it's a classic Bug response. It's a hundred perfect you. So yeah, it's perfect."

She was silent, trying to compose herself before she exploded.

"By the way, check Twitter."

"Why, are you bragging about me calling you hot?" she teased, hoping to make him blush like she had earlier. It worked.

"Oh my gosh, no. Just look."

She clicked her home button and navigated to the app, her feed instantly flooding with the same similar messages.

"Oh, my gosh," she muttered, her fingers flying away as she typed out her own tweet in response to the love.

Dream chuckled from the other end and when she asked him why, he vaguely said that George texted him but didn't explain further.

"Um, I have to go," she said mournfully. "Karl and Quackity are coming over again."

"Booooo," he pouted.

"Sorry, you aren't the only man in my life," she teased before instantly regretting her choice of words. Too flirty, Y/n, she thought to herself.

"Hm, shame. Am I at least at the top of the list?"

She bit her lips, wanting desperately to repeat what she had told him on their Minecraft date. In the end, she gave in. "I always mean what I say too," she started. "You're my main bitch, baby."

Dream made some sort of sound, a mix of a scoff and a whine but Y/n didn't comment on it, just glowing with heat in her cheeks.

"Leave before I don't let you," he said softly and the heat only grew.

"Goodnight, Dream," she pressed, the tone in her voice letting him know he was being a tease. "Thanks for... thanks for your tweet. And for everything you said earlier."

"Of course. Sorry that you have to see those kinds of things a lot."

"It's okay when I have people like you."

"People like me? What does that mean?"

"Just.... people like you." Cute, sweet, kind, genuine people who make her heart flutter.

She could hear his smile in his words and she figured he knew the unspoken words in her thoughts, the ones she was saying without saying. "Okay. Goodnight, Y/n."

"Goodnight."

[dragynkeep]

One thing that really get me about Twiins rant about making Blake's skin darker is how unneeded it was. If she was upset for people not following the rules, that's all she needed to say. But I guess, maybe she felt the need to get on her high horse and talk down to people. I can't help but feel that she did that because some part of her knows that being an asshole and is extremely wrong. However she does not want to confront this, so she hides this by defending another minority (while being completely unaware of how her words hurt said minority).

Another thing that really gets me is her wondering why it is the fantasy minority who always had to have darker skin which is...The answer to her question is right in her face. Gee, I wonder why the minority character who experiences racism is drawn with darker skin by poc artists, gee Twiins I wonder why that is, I see no possible reason why it's the minority character and not more often say, Weiss, who's from the most racist kingdom, father is a racist, and company literally owned slaves.

Lastly, I really don't like how she assumes that everyone who drew people with darker skin knew she was asian coded. She makes the assumption that everyone did it out of malice when that's not the case. Not only does that target black people who saw themselves in Blake, it also hurts darker skin asians who did the same. But ya know, I went looking for the brief evidence that she flashed on screen that Monty said Blake was asian coded. The only thing I found was Monty saying that Blake was somewhat design after Linda Le. That tweet was made back in 2013, which was 11 years ago. Sure that was on the wiki, but it's such a small detail that people can legit just look over it on accident. How does Twiins expect to know that Monty said something like that from 11 years ago. Besides that, she's also ignoring that people could and do see Blake's asian elements as surface deep like Yang, Sun, and Tai. So again, it's never been out of malice, it's never been to erase the asian coding because Blake wouldn't be the "right" minority, it's happening because poc with darker skin colors seem themselves in Blake.

All and all, I'm just worried that this will pit black people against Asian people and dark skinned asians against light skinned asians. I really hope that Twiins' words don't reach that many people nor do others spread it as well.

that's entirely the issue here is that instead of just saying exactly what her issue was, that people didn't obey her rules which imo were racist anyways for her as a white woman to impliment, but instead she co-opted a serious movement targeting anti asian hate to grandstand on. which was never her place & just makes her seem like this white saviour ass bitch who has to educate the poor, uneducated poc about our own issues.

even when she was confronted about the minority she was supposedly 'defending', she further mocked them & insulted them while acting like she was doing them a favour. the literal 'white woman's burden' on her dumb ass lmao.

you absolutely put it out right on why people would associate blake as a minority & would want to depict her as one because i'm sorry, twiins can use an out of context, 11 year old tweet by monty's horny ass all she likes but blake in the show is white. the show knows how to create asian characters, they know how to implement certain aspects to get that across with characters like ren, sun, sienna, bolin, etc. blake has none of that, she was written as a white character based mostly on her white, european voice actress. there is no asian erasure here & there never was, twiins is just too much of a dumbass to admit she was wrong & furthermore, that she was racist.

that's the long & short of it, she was racist. she pitted two minorities against each other, mocked them, insulted them, wrongly assumed that all dark skinned blakes were black when the submission she rejected was of blake as indian - japanese, & overall just acted like an authority where she had no right to. this was never her place to speak over actual poc & the fact she's not only misused terms like blackface & blackwashing, but that she refuses to reflect on any of her actions & just instead cried that she wanted to 'be educated' is disgusting. people were educating her, they were mostly civil where i personally thought they absolutely had the right to call her musty, dusty white ass out & yet she still played the victim. this was the exact same thing she did in the adam debacle when poc were trying to educate her on how her generalizing statements about the character were harmful because they ignored the racial aspect to his character & how the writer's racism influenced it.

i too hope this doesn't incite more hatred towards these groups. light & dark skinned asians, alongside black people, didn't need this when they're both just trying to bring light to their issues. thankfully it does seem like she got a fair amount of backlash to this but it shouldn't have had to be this way.

Twitter is freaking out again about bi and pan. I guess on the lgbtq wiki (? I guess people use it often, Twitter hated it before bc it included mspec lesbians on it) on the page for bisexuality it says some people personally define bisexual in a way that's similar to the definition to pansexual. Not really a big deal to me. But it's blowing up with people explaining the differences between the two, but they often define pansexual incorrectly and a lot of tweets just feels like thinly veiled panphobia

ok so i did some twitter searching, and the only screenshot i keep seeing is from the bisexual wikipedia page, which says:

"It may also be defined as romantic or sexual attraction to people of any sex or gender identity, which is also known as pansexuality."

and like. it's not saying bisexual and pansexual are the same, it's saying bi can be defined is this specific way, which is also a definition for pansexual. the wording maybe could've been better, and maybe they could've just not mentioned pansexual at all. but i don't really get being SO upset about it.

(also, wikipedia has been known to be panphobic, i mean the pan wikipedia page has never not been a hot mess, so if that was meant to mean "pan and bi are the same" i wouldn't be surprised. and i'm not surprised people seem to only care about this instance of maybe-sort-of-panphobia from wikipedia because it affects bi, too. folks being like "listen to bi people on this" and calling it "bi erasure" as if it has nothing to do with pan or pan people is so fucking typical.)

i saw a few people pointing out that those who are upset about it are clearly just confused, and some others pointing out that when defining pan or bi, the other does not need to be mentioned. so that was a pleasant surprise. finally some people making sense lmao.

a lot of the people upset about it are saying "first it was the lesbian page, now this" and given that the issue with the lesbian page was the fact that inclusionists were running it, the majority of the people upset about this are apparently exclusionists. which checks out.

and others were mad about the mention of the bisexual umbrella, saying that bi isn't an umbrella. which. as someone who has a lot of criticism of the concept of the bi umbrella and specifically how it's utilized. i'm gonna need people to learn some fucking bi history. wikipedia or whoever edited the bisexual page did not create the idea that bi is an umbrella term. BISEXUAL PEOPLE DID. and when used properly, it has its benefits and place. i am so tired of having to defend the bi umbrella because people can't be bothered to learn their own fucking history before opening their mouths.

ugh. this became a rant lmao sorry.

"Like do you really think they all magically get into a fight once their respective shows are over ? smh" This!! I blame companies. i enjoy fanservice as much as any other fan but they keep trying to make fans believe that the couple of the hour is actually dating since it makes the hype last longer and ups the money. but what happens when the contract is over and we need to move on to the next pairing?? imo it makes it more painful to the fans and makes the couple look bad. (+)

(+) They spend a year making the public think that these two men are super close to the point where there are even rumors of dating and then suddenly they no longer have to pretend and just act normal or even fall off, how does that make them look to the public? going from bffs to nothing? i hate that way of promotion. just let them be and if they're close, great, if they're just workmates, fantastic. just don't create a fantasy just for the sake of it when it'll all fall down with the next show.

hi anon!

sorry you sent this yesterday after my previous ask about people comparing ZeeNunew to MewGulf but I haven’t had the time so sorry if this seems out of context now lol. 

I couldn’t agree more with everything you said. It’s the absolute worst. I’m gonna try and not turn this into a rant again because I’ve done that multiple times in the past lol but yeah I despise it.

Fanservice is normal and it’s nice and fun here and there and every now and then. If it feels like these people are actually friends then it’s nice to see them be close as it feeds into their chemistry on-screen as well. So no, I’m not a hypocrite when I post stuff about actors lol. 

But them actually acting like they’re a couple and then “break up” after the show is done is so dumb I can’t even put it into words jdkkdfg and it crosses so many lines for me. It’s a way of making the fans look stupid and above all it’s unnecessary as hell. Do they really think that if mewgulf or zeesaint were still talking today, that people would sabotage cutie pie or any of MG’s new projects? Like how dense and one-track minded do they think we are? It’s hard not to be offended by this tbh. 

I get it that if someone is new to the fandom they might fall for this but if you actually think that these actors are together in real life,,,,,,,,, are you ok djkghdf like I’m just rolling my eyes at this point. 

I don’t remember who it was (it might’ve been Zee) but he said in an interview that they purposefully wanna provide to the fan’s imagination that they’re together in real life etc. and I remember seeing it and being like,,,, we been knew but why would you say that so blatantly lmao? I don’t know. I guess I just don’t get concept and the appeal of this at all. 

What is so hard about letting these actors act normally and naturally around each other, regardless of when and how and regardless of whether their show is still on air or not and regardless of whether it’s successful or not?? Just let these people be ffs. If you want to promote your show then do meet-ups, events, interviews, etc.... There are so many other ways. Which is also why I’m so triggered by Gagaoolala using the actors’ names for their weird thirst tweets like jfc just stop?? These companies should take into consideration that these actors are not their characters and that maybe fans will NOT immediately stop watching the show if their mains aren’t all over each other at all times. sigh. 

gosh. I didn’t wanna rant again and now I did lmao. oh well. Before this gets more heated I’m gonna end it here jkdghd, but as I said, I agree with what you said but I don’t expect any of this to change anytime soon so we’ll just have to deal with it I guess. 

xxx

i usually dgaf about antis and block and move on, but i also hate misinformation with a passion. i understand if someone felt hut by past actions, i understand that sometimes an apology is not really enough to fully soothe the hurt because even a small instance can be so so tiring after a lifetime of microaggresions. i completely understand.

but also, from my observation, people who are/were fans and then felt hurt are usually not antis who comment under every semi-related post with "dream is a horrible person who did x, y, and z!"

and those people frustrate me so much. why do you care? what do you gain from spreading this, and if youre spending this much energy into hating him, why cant you spend one more minute on google?? (i already know the answer-- these people dont care if theyre wrong, they just hate). but misinformation is so frustrating, because it makes me feel so (aksksk idk the right word in english.. 억울해 ? is "wronged" the right word ? english sucks ass sometimes) on behalf of dream. because he cares! he can mess up, might slip up in the future, but how he acts after mistakes matters more, right?

i also hate how twitter is such a large source of spreading "information" because the limited word count makes it hard to properly get things across and makes people prioritize buzz words to get the most interactions. people say "these internet celebs should educate themselves, they have google" without looking into things themselves- without being willing to open a twtlonger or even read through a thread of tweets. how can you possibly expect to understand a situation properly with just 250 characters and a 1 minute clip?

sorry for the rant, it just...bothers me a lot

Exactly this. Like people say they should know better and educate themselves and need to apologize but can’t even be bothered to google a readily available apology most of the times. Or see that what they’re saying is blatantly false.

It is such a bizarre past time some people have making hating Dream their whole personality online lmao.

Also yes Wronged is the right word!

Im late to the game meaning I joined this bandwagon a few months ago. When i joined i automatically assumed Stas was dating Colby based on their interactions, always together in festivals and Europe, i even followed her and thought aww how cute. Then i saw what he was up to and people saying he was seeing so and so and i thought he was cheating and she was too blind to see. When i read everything on here i was shocked that they werent dating or even openly a situationship because based on stuff she said and openly told fans that was not a strictly platonic friendship. Only to then read he’s been trying to delete stuff about them, yikes.I learned about shea too but barely, but this girl left me with a bad taste. Sharing photos, locations with fans, details on his wardrobe and his likes. Umm yeah no thats a bit too obsessive for me. Then another user told me she was originally Kats friend and i laughed because i dont see that represented the way she represents knowing Colby.

ngl reading that you thought stas and colby were dating upsets me lol but i get why you would have thought that

it also didn't help when they were in europe or were just about to come home, a bunch of fans congradulated them from coming out as a couple… when that did not happen at all.

stas and shea are definitely two sides of the same coin.

idk why i decided to go on a rant about shea lol but i just had to i guess

shea's questionable behavior was more from way back in the day. she was good for a while, nothing too weird, but then she started to do livestreams where fans would ask her about colby and her and she would act all coy about it and be like "guys you know i can't tell you anything" or whatever. and then she started being in gcs with fans and that's where a lot of the drama comes from bc she allegedly told them about her and colby and would claim that him and her were together but to keep it on the dl. and then on top of that her fans have also claimed she told them that not only they were dating, but way back in the day colby was rejected by shea early on into their friendship. but then while shea would be telling her fans this, colby would be seen out with other girls…. so clearly they weren't dating lmao or colby is the worst bf ever

then as time went on, shea started getting more and more questionable, in particular with how she treated other friends of colby's that were girls. for one, there are literal ss of her having a convo with fans in a gc where they thought andrea russett and him were together, and she outright told them that they couldn't be together bc andrea had a bf. mind you andrea never told her own fanbase about this guy until they broke up. so for shea to tell fans that info is fucked, imo. then shea would also like edits that would pin her against the other girl friends of colby and would make her seem like the better choice. she got called out for this bc she liked one that was rude about amber (right around the time he started chilling with her). she also liked some tweets, if i remember correctly, that were mean about her as well. and instead of coming out and apologizing, she told a gc of hers about it first, who then posted that message. but when that wasn't good enough, shea finally came out and was like "women should support women" and that she was sorry but… to this day still occasionally likes shit that pins her against other girls.

not to mention it is assumed that her fandom got spookybby's account suspended on insta bc she was supposedly dating colby at the time and i guess shea didn't like that. there was also this other instance that no one really talks about bc i think it got swept under the rug bc it happened to a fan that wasn't liked in the fandom. so there was this girl, i'll call her m, who was known in the fandom bc colby gave her a couple notices back to back and that was enough to start something. she also apparently had some dm convos with him. this was the same year as the catfish so basically, if you were a girl that got paid attention to by colby, you grew a following for some reason. i remember this girl got to like almost 10k followers if not more so. and she was young, like 17ish. so what happened is her """fans""" created an account on insta that shipped her and colby together. that account then messaged any account with over 1k followers to tell colby "hey m is turning 18 soon, can you message colby to fly out to where she lives and date her", or something to that effect. i even got the message which was kinda surprising. it was crazy, sure, but m always said she had nothing to do with it and it was just her fans/friends that did that on their own accord. after that, apparently this fan also claimed she was the girl colby was being seen around with for a week or two, only for all of us to find out it was just sam in a wig for jake's video where he pranked the fandom. however, i will say i never saw her claiming this, just ppl laughing at her when we all found out it was sam in a wig so… do with that information as you will. also jake even said in his video about a person having to go on private bc ppl thought it was her… and it was m that had gone private bc of this.

i say all of this bc you need to understand no one liked this girl. i had no negative feelings towards her, but i knew a lot of ppl that just outright thought she was a joke. so when she came out and said all of the shit that happened with her and shea, i don't think anyone believed her.

so according to m, there was ss going around of her saying that she was dating colby or planned to meet him, something of that nature. shea apparently commented under the post of one of these ss, and m reached out to her to tell her that those ss were fake and that she didn't say those things. shea left her on read. then a couple days later, m gets a message telling her that shea is in a gc talking about m, not saying nice things apparently. m reached out again, got left on read again. the cycle continues: shea is in a gc talking about m, this time saying colby and her don't like m and that colby/shea planned to address all of this in video. this time around m reaches out again, longer message this time, refuting the ss of her saying she's dating colby, and then asks shea why she can't just talk to her if she can go and talk to gcs about her. shea blocks m after leaving her on read yet again. someone posts part of m's dm to shea on twitter, shea responds by saying "idk who this person is" and that she's never talked to them before.

the INSANE part of all of this to me is all of this got posted on insta, and ppl tried to argue that shea would never talk about someone like that, colby would never talk to a fan underage (which grosses me out as to why yall would jump to the conclusion he was talking intimately with a minor instead of, you know, just being nice when they say they love him???), and that ss and screen recordings can be faked. okay, sure. you want to say all of that, that's fine. but m had PROOF shea had her blocked. showed a screen recording of it too. not to mention ss of shea leaving her on read. and back then you couldn't delete dms from ppl or unsend some. so she showed the whole convo, beginning to end, between the two of them; shea not responding and leaving her on read, only to them block her. even if you don't believe shea would do something oh so terrible as to use a gc to talk negatively about someone…. why would she block someone she's never talked to or heard of before??????

okay… i'm done now. idk why i needed to bitch about this but i think i'm just tired of both girls. like all of this for what? COLBY? like don't get me wrong, love the man. but… you're acting like teenagers, hell even arguing and making fun of some, bc of………. colby???????

AND ON TOP OF ALL OF THAT, colby has outwardly said on multiple fucking occasions how he doesn't open up that often, he has trust issues, ect ect. both of these girls are some of the very select few that get to see a side of him that no one else does. and yet, that wasn't enough? you still wanted more even tho that's not what he wants? you're desperately trying to be in a relationship with someone that doesn't want anything to do with you like that????

yall suck. forreal.
