As the name suggests, this is a place to submit confessions, headcanons, questions, theories, hot takes and whatever you seem fits!
ASKS ARE NOT A REPRESENTATION OF MY OWN OPINIONS.
If you have confessions about Roll From the Hip, there is a seperate account for that I highly recommend checking out: @rfth-headcanons-confessions
Blog runs on a queue!
Rules under the cut:
1. No discrimintaion of any kind. This includes any form of racism, ableism, queerphobia and sexism.
2. Rules are unfortunatly very vague as I don't know what I am doing, but don't be rude to unrelated or semi-related individuals without it being critism of a bigger problem.
3. Feel free to reblog/comment with your thoughts!
4. Just be chill! We're all here to have fun.
5. #confession, #not a confession, #mod talks and #announcement will be the main tags I use!
6. Discussing RPF is banned, see why here. Antiship vs Proship discourse is also banned, reason found here.
7. I've found age ratings to always be inaccurate as age is not a good sign of what content someone should be exposed to, but this is not an 18+ blog.
I may delete an ask or comments for reasons not listed here, in which I will try to either provide a reason or add to the rules, but I am just a guy and will not be a perfect enforcer of this.
If you want to suggest any rules or ask something, be my guest!

it makes me sad that now, the fandom only seem to care about the newer longforms </3
like obviously i know that people move on (and that there's still people who like the older ones), but like the classics (e.g. The Milkman, The Leftenmost Window, OMG Is this a Joke? etc) just have no content being made for them because people only talk about the new ones.
also (personal opinion incoming) i really miss the older style of editing. like it's great now, and they do an amazing job, but it really isn't my style - i liked it when it was more stripped back, kind of if that makes sense??
Can't believe luke actually called out the obsessive fan, im really proud of them for actually saying it. They're honestly wayyy too deep in all this and need to take a break from shows and everything for both their sake and everyone else's. If its at the point where one of the guys is calling them a stalker its too far
Just wanted to say the cosplayers of the fandom need more love! There's like one or two (mainly one who cosplays everyone) that gets noticed quite a bit but there are so many really cool ones that no one really mentions that are so cool!
I mean I saw there was a RFTH group cosplay I saw on tiktok the other day that was really cool and in general people do some really cool stuff with characters who don't even have full designs when it comes to SFTH as well and get nowhere near enough attention. I saw a really cool Edgar the other day as well that was doing some of the scenes and another duo Annabutch who have done quite a few skits by the looks of it and they're both really well done. I'm really surprised these sort of things aren't more popular.
Personally I think the sudden toss up with Maureen was because people were being educated and started to understand and recognize how female characters are treated in the community. I was one of those people to flipped, probably even that anons oomf.
I think it's okay to suddenly and abruptly change your perspective once you've acknowledged something is wrong. It's just growth, and I, for one, am really happy to see it so much in the fandom. Like we're suddenly getting black main characters in drawings and people are finally starting to draw Sam and Roland correctly!
I heard one of the discord mods is good friends with one of the most notoriously obsessive fans and constantly lets them get away with things. Like becoming an unofficial mod or commenting about the SFTH partners and grading them by looks and likeability. Discord is supposed to be for people who support the group and the community. Not for weird comments like that or which of the guys is an apparent F**kboy. Seriously creepy.
(Yes, I came back almost a year later to complain about CC again 😅 I’m consistent!!!)
I just want to say thanks to everyone for seeing why it’s a problem, both the CC and SFTH not paying captioners (although that bit was surprisingly more disagreed on than the former. I hope those that did please reconsider seeing CC as less necessary than editing! Accessibility shouldn’t be an afterthought, or worse, seen as a ‘bonus’!)
I do want to clear up what I’m saying, because of a few comments. Yes, I do mean including the bits where it says “[pigeons cheering].” I don’t remember if pigeons was in quotes, I think it might’ve been. It doesn’t matter. If someone didn’t understand the joke, blinked and missed it, or paused right after and resumed later, they wouldn’t know what that meant. Disabled people shouldn’t have to earn accessibility via understanding a joke. [This isn’t what the commenter was saying, by the way. Absolutely not. Their comment was very nice and mentioned the pigeons bit, that’s the only reason I’m saying this!]
Another thing that I should’ve mentioned is that captions shouldn’t describe things that can’t be heard. So, if someone’s miming typing, the captions shouldn’t say “[Typing]”, because we can see that. If the improviser is making typing sounds with their mouth, then “[Typing sounds]” or “[mimicks typing noises]” etc. would be perfect.
Anyway, that’s all. I really thought I was going to get made fun of/criticised when those were posted, so I’m happy it didn’t go that way <3 I may seem like a nitpicker at this point, but please know, the critiques mentioned above are, like, step 12… Step one and the complete priority is the payment of closed captioners!
I hope you’re talking about people posting publicly, but I also hope people don’t do this…
anyway, when people complain about those things on blogs like this, they’re just complaining. people are allowed to complain. this isn’t some mailing system that goes directly to SFTH. someone here could literally say “X member clearly hates Y member and I think Z member is obviously laundering money” and I would be like ‘okay, clearly wrong, but glad you said it here.’
you can’t go on an anon confessions account and get mad at people for confessing… I mean, you can. But in the right way. Like you can comment on the post and say Anon’s a fool or ridiculous or rude or whatever, but you shouldn’t be actively thinking about it later to the point it works you up that much.
If someone has a (subjectively) bad take about SFTH/RFTH/any media really, it’s 10000x better for them to say it on confessions accounts than somewhere intended to reach that group.
Or even not on confessions accounts— even if they’re posting on their blog in the main tags, just block them, Anon… at some point you’ve gotta curate your own internet experience. That point is every point. You might wanna block confessions accounts too if things like that legitimately make you that angry
I think the boys have outgrown the bill murray and especially considering how the murray handles things like cancelling shows with no warning then I'll be glad when they stop doing shows there. their loyalty is nice but fuck the murray man
Genuinely asking, cause this has always confused me and because it seems to be the discussion rn, it seems relevant:
Why are emojis bad to have in captions? I understand if they are super frequent, and how that might be distracting or hard to read, but the very occasional ones? If anything, it helps me with tone or emphasis, so can someone on the other side of the fence help with why it would be bad?
Does anyone else have terrible anxiety about bad crowds? Or I guess, second-hand anxiety about other fans? This is not even specific to SFTH; I get this all the time, but SFTH interacts w/ their fans so much it comes up a LOT.
If an audience member shouts out something when it’s not a suggestion during the slotted suggestion time, or even if it is but it’s inappropriate/awkward… I literally have to mute my volume. If I’m watching a livestream and a fan’s donation says something my brain deems as weird, parasocial, over sharing, awkward? I literally have to skip forward in the video.
I think it comes from the fact that I’m part of the group that is “Fans” so the fact that another fan is doing it somehow implicates me, is what my brain sees it as? But I get this even when I’m not a fan of a group/person.
Am I the only one? I don’t think I could ever go to a live show because at some point someone will shout something and I’ll like, get a shovel and bury myself in the theatre right then.
Also I know this sounds like I need therapy but nothing in my life caused this 😭 This is probably just an intrusive thought example. I swear I don’t have some traumatic past of being shouted at by an audience or something, I am just. You know how some people think they’re empaths because they know when people are upset? Well, I’m like the useless and mildly irritating version who doesn’t actually know what people are feeling but instead projects my own emotions onto others and just takes it as fact.
Hello! Mod of @rfth-headcanons-confessions here. I was wondering if you could mention me in your pinned (above the readmore where it's easier to see) so that people know there's a rfth-specific blog for confessions? I obviously have no problem with you posting the ones people send your way, but I'm a little jealous (/j /silly) that you get asks about rfth when I'm right here
Yeah sure! I also think more people should go to you but like I can't delete asks if they've already been sent in 😅
i'm pretty new to the sfth fandom (only started watching a few months ago) but wow i did not expect there to be sm discourse within the fandom 😭 i probably shouldn't be so surprised, like it's a fandom space there's always going to be some clash, but when i found this blog i thought it was just gonna be hot takes about not liking certain lfs or something. most of y'all seem very cool tho, lot more chill than some of the other fandom spaces i've been in :)
(also i think this is my first ever ask!! pretty new to tumblr also)
It’s starting to feel like you can’t be a ‘proper’ SFTH fan unless you’ve got the patreon
sorry but why does 90% of their content have to be behind a paywall. It’s a shame - I think maybe if they put a bit more of their BTS stuff on YouTube it’d draw more people in to purchase the Patreon and see MORE exclusive content.
like sorry what is the point of having Patreon-exclusive improvised plays? Basically giving an inside joke to half the fandom if u ask me
and don’t even get me started on this new ‘Patreon post-longform Q&A’ thing. It’s dissapointing really. Something that used to be fun for all fans to watch (tbh I disagreed with them only taking paid questions anyway) is now locked behind another paywall
I’ve loved SFTH for months now (joined the fandom in December) but as someone who can’t afford the Patreon I just feel kind of excluded from a space that seems like you HAVE to be in to be classed as a proper fan
Is it just me or was the audience in today’s show (Rock, Paper, Scissors?) really disrespectful? It might just be me and my theatre brain but it really reminded me of We Love Poetry’s audience where there was an excessive amount of cheering and talking in said cheers. Just a question cus me and a friend picked up on it and didn’t really like it. Amazing longform though! :)
the new longform ‘rock paper scissors’ was genuinely so good, but i felt like the audience, in parts, genuinely ruined the experience. there was an individual consistently talking throughout, and many others yelling or going ‘WOO’ in places where it wasnt needed. im usually all for audience reactions cause it feeds into the humour that is happening on stage, but at this point its too much. there are moments when the boys are on stage and you get someone going ‘he swapped sides’, ‘NO!!!’ (consistently, and yes these were in the longform) when its literally the most serious scene/plot point.
there was especially a moment in the longform where tom, playing a man from literally a time where women were not ‘equal’ (they still arent but yk what i mean) and the audience was so loud that tom literally had to shush them like they were five. and the individual consistently yelling out was so recognisable that i could tell instantly who they were, and honestly im not surprised, they never think theyre in the wrong.
these four boys are PROFESSIONALS, and these shows are not just in a small venue anymore, youre not in a comedy club, youre in a theatre. theatre etiquette is genuinely so poor and its so sad to witness it in these videos where the content is SO good yet the audience just doesnt stop interrupting.
if any reading this was in that audience and didnt shout out, thank you. and if you did shout out pls just be more considerate cause the longform was such a hard watch and there were points where i wanted the audience to be muted so i could actually enjoy and take in what was happening
