im sam, i like angsty prompts and disappearing from the face of earth twice a week. a bfu/bfwi secondary blog. previously ghostlycaviar

ok i heard watcher has put up an update and i basically got the tldr from literally everyone. im so so glad they responded and took the feedback and criticism people have given!!! as much as i was complaining about the whole thing, i DO want to support them but it just wasn't feasible long-term (paying 5.99usd/mo for what seems to be just 4 videos).

now that it's been addressed, im more likely to subscribe on their website when/if im able JUST to support them cause honestly i could wait a month for the free yt release but i actually do want to support them and help them succeed!!!

[champagnewishes]

whoa yall this new subscription thing is not gonna go well at all........ already 95% of the comments i've seen are not great........

[champagnewishes]

they should've done a longer transitioning period where people can have access to content on both platforms still and where people can see what they might be getting if they DO get the subcription so that they'll be more amiable to paying.

like for example, they can start with cutting a full video into a way shortened version - upload that one youtube then upload the full version on their platform. for the first few months, they can do a free and complete access to the subscription for everyone just to see how much traffic they can get from people wanting to see the full version. Once the trial months are over, they can still do the way shortened, maybe lower quality versions of their content in youtube while creating marketing for exclusive clips and "higher-interaction" content on social media so that their audience are so much more tempted to BUY the subscription.... smh

also in this way, people can still access their content even if it's a shittier version. they can still reach ALL their audience in some way without completely having to sacrifice their efforts.

[champagnewishes]

TO ADD: im sure like most people understand WHY they would want to do this, but alienating like 80% of your audience completely is...... questionable at best.

giving SOME form of your content is 100% better is every way.

also weighing out the pros and cons against the price...... and it really doesn't seem all that worth it even to me who loves most of their content. so it's really coming out that this move is FOR the priviliged and not for their actual fanbase/audience... which sucks A LOT.

ok this blog is dust and tumbleweed so this is the perfect place for me to say that my actual roman empire is aldub........ like i will never say that shit out loud but the chemistry and the journey and the phenomenon of this loveteam is literally what keeps me up at night. like the way they had 100% all of the potential to be THE biggest irl couple in the country for centuries is crazy to me. why do they have me in such a chokehold tho???? like if they actually werent that compatible irl then why did seeing them interact highkey lowkey made everyone genuinely think they were destined to be together????? IT'S ALSO JUST THE WAY THEY DON'T EVEN SPEAK NOW?????

Do you have a favorite Shyan moment? Or maybe a top 5?

YESS of course!! okay so like-

1. the hand kiss. this moment went all the way to my number one for me because it's just so so sweet and you rarely see shane be affectionate on camera. the amount of gratitude, devotion, and love in that small kiss really sealed the deal for me. (pic from @/queerunsolved <3)

2. the indiana jones moment. god this moment was everything. i think this was really the first time we see shane be affected, or ruffled i guess you could say, by ryan. the way he's all playful before ryan comes in and the moment ryan steps out he's literally speechless by ryan's stunning look. i mean, really, who could blame him. i could talk about this moment all day tbh. (pic from @/queerunsolved <3 can u tell i love her blog dlkfjd)

3. the seance at the bellaire house. this moment was so so cute because this is when they were still like in the 'we're good friends but i'm still kinda awkward with physical touch' stage of their friendship. first, they are holding hands. second, i love it that shane was too busy staring at ryan for a full two seconds before he realized he had to read the thing on ryan's phone. and that cute laugh ryan made when shane started reading. third, when they let go they're just soooo cutely awkward and shy i love it so much.

4. the 'i love yous' during spooky small talk. literally the first time we heard them say i love you on camera. it was so sooooo sweet and we obviously knew they loved each other for a long time but to hear it is just so satisfying. there's no metaphorical wall between them and they're just so secure in their friendship and their love for each other it just gets me :')

5. the whole entire bowling date in tourist trapped and shane saying 'i know you do'. do yall see my pattern now lksdjf it's a lot of shane saying or doing something affectionate. the bowling date where shane gets ryan gin, his least favorite alcohol, and ryan saying 'you do know me' got me sooooo bad. they know each other sooo well and just knowing something small about each other makes me go apeshit. and shane saying 'i know you do' to ryan saying he does love a good taco (i think), it's just so intimate!! god anyways...

BIG shoutouts to these moments: shane winking at ryan in test friends, ryan calling shane big boy and shane getting flustered, the bar scenes in 3 horrifying cases of ghosts and demons, ryan saying 'family both given and chosen' referring to shane, ryan saying 'we took an oath' and how it's 'never broken', and finally when ryan said they'd practice dancing together in the shower in that theater www ep like that woman 100% thought they were dating

anyways this got SO long im so sorry but i love them so much and thank you soooo much for this ask <3

this has probably been said but the fact that shane has followed ryan basically all over the world for 6 years to help him find something that he himself doesn’t even think exists is so sweet

this is a manifestation: to the lady that racially targeted my friend today, i hope you get fired and you remember the moment we confronted you and you had nothing to say to me and my reasonable questions but you kept going for my friend. i hope you're always late to every appointment, shift, and important life event. i hope you step on a crack and trip and everyone sees you. i hope ever bit of bad luck and bad karma finds you for the next 15 years :)

[champagnewishes]

day 2 of manifesting: i hope you always run out of your favourite shampoo and body wash in stores. i hope when you go to public toilets, the tissue roll is always empty. i hope when you wash your hands, the soap dispenser is empty. i hope the water is always freezing cold :)

[champagnewishes]

i almost forgot but my spite didnt let me

day 3 of manifesting: i hope you outright get caught and embarassed by a huge crowd from being racist, bigoted, and just being plain ugly on the inside. i hope a more privileged customer tears you off while you're on your shift and you can't do anything about it so you can see how it feels (despite the fact that we were the customers and you were the employee who came at us for no reason other than my friend being black) :)

[champagnewishes]

it is 2 am but i am still counting this as day 4 cause i am wide awake: i hope the a bunch of buses arrive earlier than you expected and you have to wait 15 minutes for the next bus. i hope there's bugs in your plants. i hope you fuck up and accidentally stock merch on the floor earlier than you're supposed to. i hope people either stop or walk slow in front of you when you're in a rush :)
