Also Dont stop loving vsmp dont stop loving misadventures dont stop loving the flight dont stop loving any of the projects avid was involved in. Theres always the other creators that poured their own effort into it and to dwell on the bad person instead of those creators is not productive for you or your mental health
From someone who’s been around a block or two, I want to give all the younger or newer-to-the-online-space folks in this community some unsolicited advice that may help someone recontexualize/process things and give them some more confidence in trusting other creators and communities.
We may not know who is who behind closed doors, but we do see how people handle criticism, community, and context.
Throughout this whole situation, we have seen so many creators who have generally followed the principle of believing victims and preventing dangerous reactions but also verifying information and having direct conversations whenever and wherever they can safely be had. They’ve gone to great lengths to provide context without inviting further speculation or pushing others to speak on the matter further. They’ve been transparent about their own faults and regrets in the situation and when they’ve changed their opinions when presented with new information. They’ve consistently nudged the community not towards rumination or anger but instead towards helping each other and the victims hurt in real and meaningful ways.
I don’t say this to applaud them but instead to but to say that’s what we should be expecting from these voices over the community.
On the opposite end of the spectrum, you’ll find that a lot of times when a creator is found to cruel and manipulative, they were often reactive and resistant to learning first. Of course it’s normal for creators to be loud and decisive- they’ve dedicated their time to blasting their voice through a microphone after all- but a healthy community has NEVER been built on fear, isolation, and the repetition of dangerous ideologies. If a creator ever makes you afraid of the rest of the world outside them and their community, like they are the only true voice of reason amongst a pit of lies, and ESPECIALLY if they claim to be a safe space but paint huge collectives of people as violent, dangerous, and unsafe to associate with, if they make you feel any of those ways, you have to be aware that that fear and reactivity is going to define the community the create and likely how they treat others both online and off.
And even then it’s fine to want give some grace to people for being under-informed and over reactive. I think it’s good to remember that we’re all learning and growing with time. But simply arming yourself with that knowledge will let you trust or criticize creators more easily and protect yourself from being blindsided more often.
It can feel sometimes like everything is destined to be revealed to be bad eventually, but MCYT is a huge community. Even if less than 1% of apples are bad, you’re going to find some when there are dozens and dozens of apples. Don’t lose sight of all the good. There’s a lot of good apples as well.
A second plane has hit the mcyt community
Never a dull day in mcyt
if theres anything an mcyt blogger knows how to do its endure
Sending love to everyone who has an Avid and/or Marm-based wip, whether fanfic or fanart, especially if it’s something like a longfic that you’ve been working on for a while.
Sending love to everyone who has a fanwork ready to post, and are now unsure of whether they want to.
Sending love to everyone who has already published a fanwork or post that they’re not sure if they want to delete.
Sending love to the moderators of confession blogs.
Sending love to everyone with rp blogs of Avid and Marm’s characters.
Sending love to everyone currently deeply hyperfixating on one of Avid or Marm’s characters.
Sending love to everyone with Avid or Marm fictives.
This is a very distressing time, and we all have some big decisions to make, but you don’t have to make it alone. We’re a community. Love and hugs all around.
I'm not sure what emotion I feel every time it rolls around to my birthday, which relies on you dear reader that my birthday is the same day at Techno's birthday. I'm going with joy and amusement because that means I get a lot of Techno fanart on my birthday
The cat is weet
I am running a marathon with a twisted ankle and it hurts but some pain is normal, right? Everyone says it's supposed to be hard. It is a marathon after all. I am running a marathon with a twisted ankle but honestly it could be worse, right? I heard someone once finished with a broken leg. The ankle is nothing compared to that. I am running a marathon with a twisted ankle but you can get used to pain, right? The body can endure almost anything. The problem is always the mind. I am running a marathon with a twisted ankle but I made it this far, that means I can keep going, right? Everyone says it's supposed to be hard. It is a marathon after all.
hi any life advice for 21yo
Don't date thirty-year-olds until you are at least 25.
Having a glass of water for every glass of alcohol will give you a 50% reduction in hangover viciousness.
Bad people will use your willingness to be quiet as a weapon against you. If someone's being awful to you and trusting you'll be quiet to keep from making waves, surprise them.
There is no physical object in the world that is worth as much as your honor.
Honor is not the same as dignity. Retaining one sometimes means leaving the other aside.
Don't have any sex you don't want to have; have as much as you want of the sex that you do, whether that's a lot, a little, or none at all. Nothing you can do to your own body is immoral, unless you're doing it as an act of self-punishment.
Food is morally neutral. You do not have to earn the right to eat calories. Fat and sugar keep your brain from eating itself.
Learning to sit still and breathe--in, in, in, hold, hold, hold, out, out, out, out, out, out--can give you five feet of clear space around yourself in a maelstrom.
Find out how to make three good meals: A comfort meal you can make for just yourself relatively easily, a fancy meal you can use to wow a date, and a meal you can feed a bunch of people. All the other cooking can come later, but you can build a community on those three meals.
If you ever get to the point that things are so bleak you can see no other way forward but to die, make any other choice. If that means leaving everything you own and being a beach bum, or quitting your career, or taking up or leaving a religion, or deciding to bicycle across the country, so be it; living means more chances, dying means everything stops and you don't get to see any more interesting things. As you have not yet seen all the things that can interest you, it is better to live.
Not my usual post style but I WISH someone gave me this advice at 21. Now I'm nearly 30 and I'm grateful to have came across this post now rather than even later on in life.
If you're in the stage transitioning into adulthood (18-23) PLEASE take note of these, they are CRUCIAL (especially #1). People WILL take advantage of you if they see an opportunity to do so. Don't lose your whimsy, love yourself, but protect yourself also.
Once when I was in undergrad, someone described something as “problematic” in class and our professor was like, “That’s cool, but ‘problematic’ doesn’t really mean anything. It means that the thing you’re describing has a problem, and in and of itself that’s not bad. Art, especially, should always have problems, or else it’s not interesting and not art, either. It sounds like you’re trying to say that this is bad, but you don’t want to say ‘bad.’ Is that right?”
So from then on whenever one of us called something problematic, he would make us talk it out until we could name the “bad” thing we were hinting at. In this particular class, 7/10 it was some type of oppression, and the remainder was like, “I’m uncomfortable because this is very new/confusing/pushing boundaries that made me feel safe.”
Once we stopped calling things “problematic” and stopping at that, class got way more interesting and... we all had to say, like, “that’s racist” or “that’s misogynistic” or “ew capitalism gross” out loud, which a lot of us had never done in a classroom before. Or we had to be like, “Uhhh... I’m not sure what’s so bad?” and confront our own beliefs and that was maybe even more useful.
Anyway. Whenever I see the word problematic, I can’t help but think of this professor being like, “Good starting point, now let’s get specific.” I think when we have to commit to saying “that’s ___” it requires a lot more careful thought about the truth and impact and complexities of whatever we’re claiming. Sometimes there really is some bullshit afoot, and also sometimes it’s art, and it should be full of problems, because that’s what art is.
