#that none of the money these streaming services get goes to even shitty quality stuff

[munamania]

right can i just. okay. lesbian is not a genre so im not looking to lump all these shows together. got that out of the way. im also not looking to pit queer people against each other so ok checking that off the list. i am however going to go ahead and throw the misogyny card out here because it’s fucking annoying how shows that center women, especially when theyre woc and/or queer, still just don’t take off even in progressive online spaces the way any shows with our darling young gay male couples will. i’m not saying that’s, like, the Cause of them being cancelled either because we’ve been shown numbers don’t matter. and many of the “”lesbian”” shows that have been cancelled were popular otherwise. just complaining xo!

#because well maybe many of these lesbian shows are not that good. and it's hard for people to care #but also sometimes they like are. or they're not 'good' but they're still fun and if the dynamics in play were primarily #attractive young guys i personally think they'd take off. but there's no way to like prove that so im just talking out of my ass #and ALSO. regardless of the lesbian aspect of it. many of you will watch such ass shows that have like no women or one woman in it #and hype it up to all hell cause that's your babygirl #I SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO HAVE A GOOFY STUPID ASS DYKE TRAPPED IN A SHOW THAT ISNT THAT GOOD AND HAVE FUN!!! #i deserve pathetic women!!!!! #and also. largely upset with the most recent cancellations because of the butches/masc lesbians involved #because that you know has a special place in my heart. okay whatever #anyway. let me also add that plenty of the people who hype up mediocre gay shows are some of the most annoying people on the planet #so yk maybe it's a gift in a way to just have the illusion that the relationship begins and ends with me and my tv and one friend #but. like. the thing is is some of the tropes/dynamics/etc i see on these shows would make people go ferallllll if u know...... #circumstances were different. but they just dont care. and also like. i think it's fair to be sad that ur just not getting more time #with characters u enjoy #that none of the money these streaming services get goes to even shitty quality stuff #honestly it's so smart of them to be like Ooo look gay people i have smth for u! and then get everyone online going #omg stream it so it doesnt get cancelled!!!!!! to maximize off it anyway. and then cancel before it can threaten their image or anything #and get too big. or be smth they invest in

The Garfstream

So, I’ve spent the past couple of days working, drawing up different ideas, and testing different streaming services on different platforms. While it’s not perfect, I feel like we are in a good enough place to at least pitch ideas for the type of content you guys would like to see and give just a general update to the stream.

From now on, the stream will be called the Garfstream. and I will try and stream as much Garfield related stuff as I can. If I end up streaming anything that isn't in any way Garfield related just for fun or boredom, I will title the post Nongarfstream. They will also be tagged as such, for easier access. 

I want to try and stream AT LEAST 1-2 times a week, but considering my erratic retail work schedule and general lifestyle, this could be more on some weeks and less on others. This also means I can’t really put down a schedule for what specific days I’ll stream. If I end up settling into a basic routine, I’ll update with an official schedule for the stream.

Now, on to the stream ideas.I feel as if I should iterate that none of these ideas are concrete, as I might not have what it takes in regards to equipment and such to make all of these happen. Regardless, I am still gonna list all of the ideas I’ve gotten, as I would genuinely like to do most of these. I will specify any qualms that I have with this stream type in the description of them.

Well anyway, on to the actual ideas, I have created a Strawpoll for easy management of what you guys want to see. The Strawpoll is here, as well as in a few different areas along the post for convenience. Please choose whatever you want to see on the straw poll. Choose as many things as you want, you're not limited to one. If you like them all, then click them all! I also have a “I’m fine with all of it” option if you’re lazy! I want to do most, if not all of these at some point, but if it doesn’t have a lot of votes with you guys, it will negatively impact when I do it, or if I even do it. So please vote!

>>Strawpoll is here<<

A list of all of the activities, complete with descriptions after the break! Please Read Them!

Garf Shows/Movies

The Garfield Show (continued) [Not possible yet]

Now, unfortunately I do not have any means of doing this yet, but if I ever found a way to, I would really like to do this.

Garfield and Friends

It appears that it is on Hulu. Now I don’t own Hulu and don’t necessarily like Hulu, but I’d be willing to get a subscription in order to stream this. Also interestingly enough I found a YouTube channel for it, but I think it’s just for compilations and mini episodes. If anyone can confirm I’ll post the channel page once I return

The Live Action Garfield Movies

I have no clue how I would stream these, but I would be freaking stoked to stream these somehow.

Art

Doodle Streams with Tumblr and Friends

I would love to stream my artist friends and I doodling absurdist, surreal and generally bizarre Garfield drawings. You viewers at home can submit prompts for us to draw, and even join us in prompts and send in your artwork to us!

Now I only have a little $99 wacom art tablet with no screen, so my art quality significantly diminishes in comparison to my works on paper. So expect more rough, gestural dumb doodles than absolute masterpieces. I figured this would be a good way for me to get generally more acclimated to my tablet, and have fun with friends along the way. Also we might occasionally deviate from Garfield if we get bored or if the prompts lead us away from it.

Garf and not so Garf Games

Garfield Kart [Currently a Terrible Experience]

I sampled streaming this, and not only do I suck really hard at it and consistently land myself in last place, with the stream on, the stream runs at like 3fps, while my pc runs at like 20-25fps. Basically it was a terrible experience for everyone involved and I would only do this if I had some practice with it and got a better PC

Garfield GO [Might be impossible, I don’t know yet]

Unsure if I could stream it or how good it would be, but it is most certainly an option. Haven’t looked too into this.

Garfield Flash Games on Garfield.com

I just noticed that they have a lot of Garfield flash games on Garfield.com, and I wanna play them and see how weird they are

—Not So Garf Section----

Fighting off the Mondays with the Anti-Mondays Task Force (Battlefield 1)

A Monday stream where we assemble the Anti-Mondays Task Force platoon on PS4 to play with us and stave off the Mondays. This goes for both my friends and anyone who joins the PS4 platoon and wants to play with us. Sorry PC players, I’m a console pleb with no money to upgrade my toaster PC.

Dark Souls 3 Garf Run

A run through Dark Souls with a character from the Garfield Universe, and try to make as many Garfield references as possible, whilst dying as little as possible. Disclaimer, I suck really hard at dark souls and will likely die very frequently and make really shitty plays, so if you are a ds3 god, please don’t watch cause you will probably cringe yourself into a singularity.

Until Dawn, but with Garfield

A run through Until Dawn, but we set characters as different characters from the Garfield franchise, and see who gets killed off and what happens to them. Now, i have never played until dawn and therefore don’t know what happens so I feel like this could be really dumb and fun!

Undertale Genocide run as Jon Arbuckle

*Suggested by@thegreatestegg*

A genocide run through Undertale, but as Jon Arbuckle. Now I’m going to go right out and say it. I never had much interest in Undertale. I can appreciate it for what it is, but I’m not crazy about it personally. Sorry if you like it, I don’t. However, this is a pretty great idea and if I can snag undertale on sale and it’s popular amongst you guys, I will be willing to swallow my pride and play it for the first time. Warning, I will probably suck.

Non Garf

Other dumb shows and movies from other franchises (Mario Super show, Sonic Cartoons, Gaming Show IMPG, Air Bud, etc.)

*Partially Suggested by@thegreatestegg*

I watch other shows and movies that aren’t Garfield, but equally fun to poke fun of.

Non Garf Games

I can pretty much stream most of the games on my PS4 and some on stream, so I might stream something random when I’m bored and not in a Garf mood. I will list just some of the games I have down here

PS4: Battlefield 4 & Hardline, Guitar Hero Live, Killing Floor 2, Overwatch, Prey, Resident Evil’s 0,1,4,5,7, Code Veronica, and begrudgingly Umbrella Corps, The Evil Within, Uncharted’s 1-4, DMC, Soma, most games that came out free since like last year, and probably a few others that i’m forgetting.

PC: A Fuckton but idk how they will work out on stream. some of my favorites include Left 4 Dead 2, Terraria, Cry of Fear, Half Life, Half Life 2, etc.

>>Strawpoll is here<<

Yep that’s pretty much it. If you have any suggestions for what I should stream, let me know with a comment below this and of its feasible I’ll add it up and credit you! So Please Vote! Thank you!
