I was just going "what the fuck" repeatedly as i finished watching my shows. I went to Ryan's twitter again.
Y'know I was playing this kinda... Statistics game? I wanted to see who would unfollow. First? Second? I was more focused on who's known him longer/closer personally.
Of course, Lindsay was the first to not only unfollow, but block, seeing as ryan isn't follow her, along with Jeremy/Matt unfollowing soon after. This was before the ryan tweeted that last tweet.
I woke up today and saw Michael had unfollowed him as well. I want to say it was after getting some catharsis from the stream, some good vibes that he didn't want ruined anymore.
As of last checking, I saw that 3 people unfollowed him. Quickly figured out jack and Gavin had, and then realized meg had too.
Reminds me of that old Tumblr post, around the Mario kart era of AH, where someone pointed out that Ryan lit up at seeing Meg's favorite stage and selected that immediately. I really did consider meg to be Ryan's closest friend and she might've thought that way too. She really had no idea of all of this happening and one of the worst thing is that there are definitely too many people going to her to assume she did and I'm gonna assume that she just gonna delete him from her channel, photoshoots, everything.
Gavin, even though he had started off being weary or uncomfortable with getting ryan in a "new person" sense, has probably had the most positive things to say/most positive outlook on Ryan over the years. I can't think of a time gavin's had something bad to say about him, and on the flip side, I feel as though Ryan showed a soft spot for gavin on camera atleast. Still, never excepted gavin to make a statement, that's usually not his style anyways. As far as I can tell it's usually gavin's style to just dip out which makes its heartbreaking that he couldn't for this long.
On the flip side, there are plenty of fans who know of jack/Ryan's bickering arguments, From small comments here and there, to clearly making the room uncomfortable with anticipation and outbursts. Still, they were the tech guys, grew up super nerdy and nonviolent and sometimes found common ground in minecraft mods. Y'know Ryan actually did question what Jack's problem with him was, at a couple points. Sounds silly now but I guess he rightfully assumed jack didn't know about all the heinous stuff he didn't behind the scenes. I really went hard and had fun trying to figure out why two guys of the same age, similar nerdy interests (atleast publicly) and stature could project some of the worst chemistry at times. Even weirder, it seemed as though late 2019 to these 2020 corona times, jack had been stepping up a leaning a bit more into his connection with ryan, dropping the team name more, scheduling to hang out around Christmas, even starting whole convos with him about coding.
I wanted to see what jack would write, what jack would say. Some of the most endearing things about jack is how he admits image isn't great that compiling what he wants to say and, personally, it was very refreshing how I felt like I understood him the least out of the group at times. I wanted to know what jack would have had to say about this, about that dude, even after all this came to light.
Now, there are 5 people on my following list that still follow ryan. 4 of them I would consider quite close to him, and 1 of them is Geoff, the boss who gave him a job after ryan made him laughed and after ryan asked to never be on camera. Ryan seemed to always have positive words to say about geoff, seemingly respecting him the most, even divulging the dragon napping secret only to Geoff back in skyfactory times. I guess I just kinda wonder how he's holding up the most.
