My Thought Process

They/ Them
You’re on your own for the rest

Every so often I almost forget that Cleo is the absolute best ever, but then something like this happens:

All the armor stand parkgoers in Scarland are adorable, but Scar saw this family and literally almost cried. And so did I. Cleo's storytelling in Minecraft is just unbeatable. Every little one of these wooden people has a real heart inside.

I feel like people misunderstand philza, you cannot just guilt Philza, you bring this man stories of angst and thousands dying and philza starts cackling, he thinks it’s funny. If Forever was like “ah I have hanahaki because of you” philza would look him in the eye and go “then choke bitch” philza “war criminal” Minecraft who has broken the Geneva conventions and will do so again without remorse has never really felt guilt ever. Like Yanderes are fun and all but Philza just wins, every time, you can’t guilt him he’ll just laugh at you he does it all the time

Reminds me of Antarctic empire days where techno was more of the moral compass in that series than phil. Heck, I believe that clip of Phil shouting “fuck the orphans” and then throwing a grenade into discarded villagers in boats is still somewhere in the internet. So yeah, forever is more likely to get laughed at by Philza “fuck around and find out” Minecraft than forever guilt-tripping Philza.

The gathered group of Hermits collectively wince as they watch the playback of Scar's recording. "I don't think you're gonna be able to talk your way out of this one," Impulse says, looking like he's having flashbacks. "That much redstone..."

"Is it that bad?" Scar asks, fiddling with his lapel. "We can fix it, right?"

Tango sputters. "Yeah, in the next life, dude. You may want to evacuate for a few days."

"Done!" Joe Hills, who has been sitting quietly in the back of the pack, exclaims as he holds a stack of papers in the air.

"What have you been working on, Joe?" Grian asks, curious.

"Funeral invitations!" Joe holds up a piece of paper, covered in colorful colored pencil.

It reads: You are cordially invited to the funeral of Grian and GoodTimesWithScar May 5th, 2023 at 8pm BST! It may have been an untimely death, but please be on time! Refreshments to follow.

Production houses: but if the writers stay on strike we can't guarantee the future safety of your favorite shows 🥺🥺😭😭

Viewers who 1, have already lost their favorite shows because they were cancelled in spite of good ratings and good reviews or 2, have stopped watching new content entirely until the entire series has aired and concluded as a result of so many good shows getting cancelled on cliffhangers and thus leaving said viewers unable to gain closure with those characters and with a hollow viewing experience, so they've begun a, watching older shows they know came to a planned conclusion or b, revisiting their old favorites and enjoying the nostalgia or c, reading new books or fanfic instead: YOU ALREADY CAN'T GUARANTEE THE FUTURE OF OUR SHOWS SO GET FUCKING WRECKED AND PAY WRITERS WHAT THEY DESERVE!

y'all heard about the WGA strike? here's how you can support us if you're not a member.

writers with the WGA have access to a strike fund that will help them out, but there are many other hollywood employees, assistants, and crew members who will need financial aid during the strike. you can donate to the entertainment community fund (tax deductible!) and help ease their burden. choose "film and television" in the drop-down menu under the gift designation.

if you can't donate, please at least boost and spread the word! and thank you to everyone who's been showing solidarity and asking how they can help us out, it's been overwhelming in the best sense of the word ♡

Keep seeing posts in solidarity with the WGA strike that say things like “no one cares about your favorite shows” and “fuck your tv show. I hope it gets canceled” and while I understand and agree with the underlying sentiment, which is clearly “Real people are more important than fictional ones, you dipshit” I don’t like the framing because, well, it feels shitty to dismiss the importance of the work made by the workers we’re trying to defend.

No one cares about your favorite shows more than the writers do.

No one understands the power and importance of tv and film more than the writers who created them.

No one loves tv, movies, games, and stories more than the people who fought tooth and nail in an incredibly competitive and underpaid profession for the chance to be part of it.

They know it’s important. They know it changes lives. They know it can be more than just a story, more than just a bit of entertainment. They’ve loved and respected this medium, continue to love and respect this medium, more than you ever will.

The person who wants a show to get canceled the least is the writer who poured their everything into making it good.

TV and movies are great, actually, and you are not wrong to be invested and care about them. That’s what the writers gave you. That’s what the writers wanted when they wrote it. That’s why they wrote it.

Which is why we respect them when they make the call that this strike and its demands are worth risking it.

The people on that picket line do not want their shows canceled. They want to keep writing them. They can’t, not under the current conditions.

So we accept the risk with them and support them.

But I don’t want to berate the power and importance of their work, the value they put into it and the love they have for it, in the same breath that I am defending their strike. Worthy shows will likely get canceled or derailed and that will be a tragedy worth mourning. The writers know that better than anyone.

So when they say something else is even more important, we listen. And when your favorite show gets ruined, you make sure your fully justified anger and grief is pointed in the right direction - at the CEOs who killed it.

The Disney thing is one of those cases where you should be glad that a big multinational conglomerate is suing DeSantis over this since, in a nutshell, the issue is that he retaliated against the company for exercising their First Amendment rights (actual 1A rights, not the Citizens United kind) in a way he doesn’t like. If he were to succeed at this with Disney then that puts a lot of much smaller, poorer businesses and individuals in Florida at much greater risk from him and other fascist Republicans. Be glad that Disney is using their deep pockets to cancel this disturbing precedent before it can be set. I’m a dyed-in-the-wool Disney hater but you’ve really gotta get over your other issues with the mouse here; they are very much the Good Guys this time.
