Yes, Another Countdown Blog

A countdown blog dedicated to counting down the days till Sanders graces us with another character that the fandom can immediately name.

[into-the-sandersverse]

Hello!

My name is Kristen!

This is a countdown blog to whenever Thomas posts content with a new character.

TS Shorts, Thomas Sanders Channel vids, Thomas Sanders & Friends, and Thomas's Twitter photos all count in this blog. It's all things Sanders!

This only counts when a new character is released, not one that we've seen before.

All posts containing a new character will be tagged with the spoiler tag, especially with scripted content.

Please, consider giving me a follow while I continue to construct my blog.

My main blog is: @flugelwhisper

Sanders Sides Sideblog: @fanderssanders

Hey Fanders! One of the members in my discord server is looking for a Sanders Sides fanfic, but cannot find it. Here's the description of the fanfic:

Basically the emotions of the other sides have a physical impact on Patton.

They aren't sure exactly what platform it is on, but they believe it's ao3

Thank you!

On Twitter, Fanders are posting positive messages under the tag #/weloveyouthomas

(obviously without the /)

But I suggest we do it here as well. If you want to post something nice for Thomas, I encourage you to use that tag "We Love You Thomas"/#weloveyouthomas for your post! Please share this around so more people can get in on it! 💙

I'm begging y'all at this point - please stop sharing Patreon content. You are hurting Thomas and Co and all of us other patrons.

What y'all are doing will actually impact the Co financially.

Today the Co gave us a discount code for the shop. It took only a few hours for someone to say that they saw a patreon code on Twitter.

Please, stop.

I know some of y'all might say, "well, if you have patreon, you don't need it - since you have money. Let those of us who can't afford the Patreon have the code."

The discount is a PERK. We give the Co money and they give us a discount. If you use the patreon code without being in the patreon, you're causing the Co to lose money. Therefore, they may not keep this perk.

Say, for example, you went to Hot Topic and make a purchase. If you don't know, Hot Topic cashiers will normally drop a discount card into your bag once you make a purchase. It is an incentive to keep you coming back to Hot Topic/keep you spending money. Imagine you go behind the counter and steal one of those discount codes.

You didn't pay for anything, yet you took something you didn't pay for. That discount card is an incentive.

That's exactly the same thing with the patreon. Yet, somehow people are justifying it because it is non-tangible - because it's virtual.

The more this happens, the more likely Co will take away perks. If they can't trust us not to spread info outside of patreon, then they won't give it to us. Simple.

I'm begging you, please stop. Thomas and Co are a small group of independent YouTubers. They do not have millions of dollars to spend. If you want to see my breakdown of Thomas and Co's patreon and why I applaud them for making it, check out my "Defending Thomas's Patreon" post. I explain there why artists need a stable income to create content.

You all sharing content are disrespecting Thomas and Co and all of your fellow patrons. We just want to support the Co. Please stop taking advantage of their kindness/their incentives. They are already giving us so much with the patreon. Please, don't make them regret it.

If you don't have a patreon, you're not missing out on any content. None of the stuff that happens in there are plot-related. Trust me, I know. This is all just extra stuff. You aren't missing a thing.

I am trying so hard to be nice about this. If this continues, I will honestly have to stop trying. This isn't fair to anyone.

Please, stop sharing Patreon content. You are hurting everyone.

Please, stop.

plus a friendly reminder that Thomas and his team are a SMALL team. they're not a multimillion-dollar industry. they're not Hot Topic or Disney or Amazon. what you do can legitimately hurt Thomas and his whole team. yes it's still bad when people do things to hurt stores but it's even worse when it's a small group of QUEER CREATORS.

if this keeps happening i would not be surprised if perks were removed or moved up to the limited tiers. and then people will go down to cheaper tiers because it's not worth it anymore, and that will DIRECTLY AFFECT THE INCOME OF THOMAS AND HIS FRIENDS.

[fanderssanders]

I literally just saw people in the community tab begging people to share with them the info from patreon/youtube streams. So I guess I'm going to reshare this.

I also made this recent post about the problem with entitlement in this fandom. It needs to stop. Thomas and Co make FREE TO WATCH content. Youtube is a fickle site and will often restrict or demonitize content without rhyme or reason.

Patreon content is how the Co make money. This money isn't going directly into Thomas's pocket, it's keeping the lights on and it is going to EVERYONE Thomas employs/commissions.

Please, stop.

We need to address the entitlement in this fandom.

There is a lot of entitlement around not only the Sanders Sides series, but also the YouTube Membership/Patreon. I'm only going to be talking about the second one, but there is plenty entitlement surrounding Thomas's scripted stuff.

This has to stop.

I've seen non-patrons begging for paid content, stating that they can't afford it, but that they deserve it anyway. I've seen patrons pass out patreon exclusive stuff without considering that what they're doing will have consequences/hurt the people they claim to support. I've seen people on all sides sending passive aggressive messages about livestreams and about certain things Thomas and Co choose to make. Some of these people even tag Thomas or Co in their message.

I'm telling you, once-and-for-all to cut it out.

I'm tired of people passive aggressively asking Thomas to make a public livestream right after a patreon livesteam in order for the non-patrons to receive the same info as patrons. I'm tired of patrons demanding Thomas and Co to change the livesteam time because they personally cannot make it.

Enough is enough.

Just because you like someone's content does NOT entitle you to receive free stuff from the content creators.

Just because you pay for extra content does NOT entitle you to tell content creators what to do with their content.

You don't get to demand them to dance for you. You don't get to demand that they make the content you want or on your time.

They have their own schedule. They do what is best for their group and what is best for the MAJORITY of their fans.

I'm saying this as a content creator and writer- your passive aggressive messages only hurt us. They make us feel bad because we cannot satisfy everyone's wants. We are already not taken seriously as is. It breaks our heart when we see the people who claim to support us act so hostile towards us. Trust me, it upsets us. We feel betrayed by people we thought supported us.

Enough is enough.

What is good for the majority won't always be the best for you. You have to accept that. I've missed livestreams I paid for. And I commented on the post, "Oh, I have class during that time. Hopefully I will, see you next stream!"

I didn't get mad at him for not magically fitting a stream in my timeslots. I didn't demand that he changed the time in order to satisfy my needs. I didn't demand that he hopped online and do another stream.

That is entitlement.

And let me tell you again, just because you like something does NOT entitle you to ANYTHING and EVERYTHING they do.

Read your messages before you send them. Trust me, we can read your aggressive and hostile tones through the screen. Like I said, the only thing it creates is a feeling of guilt.

Enough is enough.

We all need to do better.
