to scare off people I don't want to talk to
instead of a long list of DNIs (because my mental health is more important than arguing with strangers on the Internet and so is yours) I'm just going to pin this and anyone who gets scared of is someone I didn't need to talk to:
VIVA LA LIBERTAD CARAJO
Earl and Heather is one of the most slept on romances of all time because like
"You mean that I can eat whatever I want, all that I want, and I can’t ever get fat? Doughnuts, cookies, chocolate? Oh my God. Pie? Seriously…Pie?”
“Hell, you can do all that and wrap it in bacon if you feel like it.”
“If I’d known that, I would’ve gotten bit by a werewolf years ago.”
“Well, there is all the murder..."
“I know, but all-you-can-eat pie!”
Have been learning to process whole leaf pipe tobacco in an attempt to gain some independence from STG since January of this year. One of my favorite things about watching YouTube tutorials on blending and processing tobacco is that half of them are like:
"Alright guys now make sure you have a clean and sterilized workspace and wear gloves so you keep the tobacco clean and pure before you smoke it "
and the other half are like:
"I have not washed my hands in thirty years but let me teach you this old sailors trick for processing raw tobacco with illegally distilled rum."
Something I'm starting to notice with a lot of Tumblr posts is that if someone iscomplaining about something and they think the post sounds too right wing they'll add a sentence in the middle to make the post blame capitalism even if the problem they're talking about has nothing to do with capitalism as if they're saying "I'm a leftist guys please don't drag me in the notes I'm not a Republican I swear" and you can tell when they're doing this.
"There are those who are so constricted and sick in themselves that the thought of their own freedom is a horror, and that of others a fierce pain; so that they would enslave all men. And these you should shun, or, if you must, destroy them as you will know how, for this also is bounty." -Jack Parsons
The only valid attitude about conflict in personal relationships:
"You have a right to know when you're hurting me so that you can stop, because I want to continue to like you for the foreseeable future."
EN Vtubing for people that don't watch Vtubers.
So, someone you know sent you Ironmouse's video about quitting Vshojo, but when you ask for context you just end up more confused. Here's a little glossary to explain the context of some of the names and words you'll hear. This is not an exhaustive list but it is accurate to the best of my ability and should provide most of the necessary context to what's going on.
Vtuber: short for Virtual YouTuber, a Vtuber is an individual who streams/creates content but rather than showing their face they use an Anime style avatar and mapping software that allows the avatar to move along with their body to mimic their real movements. Often a Vtuber does so as a character with a specific backstory rather than just as themselves.
Liver/talent: the individual who provides voice and motion capture for a Vtuber character. While references to a Vtuber is often used synonymously with that Vtuber's liver this is not always the case.
Past-life: the character that a specific liver used to perform as, but does not do so anymore. This is usually in the context of an indie Vtuber joining an agency, but is less often used to mean an agency Vtuber going indie.
Agency: a company who manages multiple Vtubers, owns or manages the relevant IPs for those characters and employs livers to stream as said Vtubers.
Indie: a Vtuber which is directly owned by its liver and is not affiliated with any agency.
Graduate/Graduation: the retiring of an agency Vtuber. Said Vtuber's liver may be leaving the scene and retiring altogether or may be going indie or to another agency. A graduation stream is the last stream a liver performs as said Vtuber. If a liver is fired or leaves without graduating it's considered an act of disrespect on one or both sides.
Hololive: a Vtuber agency, one of the first pioneers into EN (English) Vtubing. They are currently one of the largest agencies worldwide and in the EN space specifically.
Nijisanji: often abbreviated as just Niji, Nijisanji is one of the other largest vtubing agencies in the world and until very recently was also one of the biggest VTuber agencies in the EN space. Niji's relevance and popularity has dwindled in recent years after the mass graduation of their top talents and a major scandal involving EN vtuber Selen Tatsuki being pushed out of the company without graduation. Selen's pastlife Dokibird would allude to extreme bullying and direct managerial sabotage as being part of the buildup and would later re-debut as an indie with massive community support. Nijisanji as a result has a reputation as a 'black company' a Japanese term for an exploitative workplace.
Vshojo: a Vtuber agency founded on creative freedom for talents, including contracts which grant talents ownership of their Vtuber in the event that they leave the company. They are currently in hot water for not paying their talents and refusing to pay out money that was raised by Ironmouse, their biggest vtuber, for the Immune Deficiency Foundation.
Phase Connect: a Vtuber agency largely considered to be the first EN Native Vtuber agency. They are also frequently called the sadgirl company or menhera company because their Vtubers have a tendency to act particularly unhinged in comparison to other agency Vtubers. They're also sometimes called a coffee company because one of their primary merch lines is a line of coffee, and they once made an April Fools announcement that they were quitting Vtubing to become a full time coffee company.
There's not much that can be said about Vshojo that hasn't been said already. If you're unaware the tl;dr is that their biggest vtuber Ironmouse raised approx 500k for the Immune Deficiency Foundation last year during a subathon. Because of the way her contract works all of that money has to go through Vshojo and be paid out by Vshojo in Ironmouse's name. Vshojo has stiffed the Immune Deficiency Foundation of that 500k, and has also stiffed the mouse out of an undisclosed amount of money on top of that, which has resulted in Ironmouse very publicly leaving Vshojo and blowing the whistle about the theft of charity money.
After the Nijisanji debacle with Selen who is now Dokibird, and Hololive fumbling Gura who is now Saba Vshojo was, until now basically the last Vtubing agency that wasn't seemingly on the verge of imploding because of their own stupid and/or evil decisions.
Well, except one.
Gus don't be NNs that Shawn would definitely use in current year:
"Gus don't be the breakdown in Bad Guy"
"Gus don't be Rey Skywalker"
"Gus don't be an X post"
"Gus don't be the one It's Not Unusual in between two What's New Pussycats"
"Gus don't be an out of the blue vtuber collab"
"Gus don't be the Japan episode of a Nickelodeon show"
"Gus don't be Carey Elwes's twink death"
"Gus don't be Chosen One by Adam Hicks"

Psych was correct. When you're 100% sure of your conclusion, but it's based off of evidence that only you can see (because it's obscure, easily dismissed, or requires a lot of prior context), it's genuinely better to just say "I had a psychic vision" or something like that. People are more willing to believe you have mystical powers than that they just missed something you found obvious.
