Everything's Coming Up Milhouse

An avid Pokemon fan with too much time on her hands.

My Opinion

People change. That’s literally all I can say. People won’t always be the same. The Creatures are human beings. Who cares if what they’re making doesn’t make you happy as an individual? Do you know how many fans they have? If they spent so much time focusing on individuals, they would hardly ever put out any videos. Guys, they are trying so goddamn hard. So why is it that every time I look around I see some asshat saying the same shit?

“That’s why I haven’t watched any of their recent videos.”

“Literally the only direction they can go now is down.”

“Why is everything so broken?”

You really want to know why everything is so “broken”? It’s because we choose to portray it that way. It’s because a majority of the creature fans can never be happy with what the Creatures try so hard to give us. I understand. Believe me, I do. There’s a major difference from when I started watching them years ago to now. But people need to stop hating change so much. It’s a natural thing. You aren’t always going to like something and that’s okay. People are never going to stay the same way forever.

I’m happy for the Creatures.

I’m happy for Seamus.

I’m happy for Kevin.

I’m happy for Eddie.

I’m happy for Max.

I’m happy for Anthony.

They accepted change. So why can’t we? They are happy where they are right now. So anything we say against it will never change their mind.

Let’s grow with them instead of being so goddamn picky with them as human beings. We have no voice in what they choose to do. It’s their life. People will come and go, so as for me, I’m going to leave my arms wide open and embrace them as they come and go.

To the Creatures, past, present, and future ones, I appreciate all that you do. Even as I change as a person, I will appreciate what you have done for me.

Thank you, for everything.

I really like this post, well said

I’ve posted this before but it’s somehow always relevant once a year.

[thrashleydawn]

No one left cause someone was mean to them. This is ridiculous.

[jodem]

this makes me so mad. i want to write a huge, long rant about why this is stupid and undermining what seamus has been going through, but it’s not my place to talk for him–especially since i don’t know the whole story. 

please think before you post stupid shit like this.

[rbthemad]

This is from Encyclopedia Dramatica, which shouldn’t be taken seriously in the first place. I never meant it as a direct response of what Seamus has been going through, but you can’t deny that there’s always a member that leaves every year, minus the “someone was mean to them on the internet.”

[thrashleydawn]

There was literally no point in posting this (that I can see) other than to start stuff within the fanbase.

[rbthemad]

Alright then, fine. I fucked up. I thought it was funny at the time because I was trying to cope like everyone else, but not everyone’s ways of coping are the same.

[thrashleydawn]

Honestly, what is there to cope with by absolutely shitting on them as people and talking about how relevant you think it is? Are you serious?

God dammit. I love this people)

[obnoxiousamanda]

In the most ungrateful way possible, can someone tell me if Ashley sounds in anyway shady? It seems weird to me and I would like to get a second opinion

[thrashleydawn]

… Why does me standing up for the interns seem “shady” to you?

[theintelligentdrunkard]

It was sarcasm dude. Like really? Shady?

[obnoxiousamanda]

Sorry, I didn’t mean to offend anyone. I just thought that you were calling them out for not paying the interns enough money and wanted to know if anyone else understood it the way that I did. I guess that I didn’t phrase it correctly.

[thrashleydawn]

Oh, absolutely not. I honestly have no clue how much they get paid for their work nor do I have any business knowing. I was just trying to lighten the mood with a dumb joke is all :)

… Why does me standing up for the interns seem “shady” to you? Was it the joke I made? Because it was a joke and I'm sure the interns would all understand that if they saw it...

IMPORTANT! Ash (who we all know and love, but if you do not know her she is Seamus’s girlfriend and has done so much for us fans by updating us with news regarding him, she is also a friend of the creatures and has known them for many years), her mother is in a very horrible situation and is in need of money to afford a kidney transplant. Think of how worried we all were about Seamus and his kidney stone, imagine this times 100, this is how worried Ash is about her mother. This link as more information as it is Ash’s post, please read it and share it! http://tl.gd/n_1snre3o She will be doing twitch streams and such and I think as a fandom we can really help by donating and watching her streams and sharing! LETS DO THIS GUYS!

[thrashleydawn]

I’ve already gotten so much support from you all, it’s such a surreal feeling. I love and appreciate you guys SO much <3

I really hope Seamus feels welcome when he comes back. I have this bad feeling that people will give him shit and I hope he sees all the love and support and excitement from the fans that aren’t scumbags. I want the Moose to be happy to be back.

Some Fanart of thrashleydawn Enjoy!

[thrashleydawn]

Hey Ash, I know you've probably answered questions along these lines hundreds of times, but what's your youtube/twitch status? I really miss watching you play Smite and Pokemon, but you haven't uploaded or streamed for a long time. (Sorry if you've already gone over this with your fans before. Much love. <3)

STREAMS SHOULD BE COMING BACK REALLY SOON AHHHHH! :D

Seamus’ Illness

As I’m sure most of you know, Seamus had a kidney stone a few weeks back and it has since passed. We were hopeful that after a few days he would be back to normal, but unfortunately that wasn’t the case and still isn’t.

Seamus is still feeling very under the weather and we’ve been in and out of the Doctors’ and the ER many times trying to figure out what’s wrong and why he’s feeling so terrible. Unfortunately most of the answers we got were the same and were along the lines of, “You’re probably just feeling a delayed sickness from the kidney stone, it happens. Just watch and wait and if things get worse come back.”

At first things did get better after being at home for a few days, but that didn’t last long. Since passing the stone he’s been struggling with bouts of nausea, loss of appetite, fatigue, muscle spasms, minor insomnia, general soreness and the like. The strangest thing that has us the most worried right now is a decent-sized swollen lump that appeared on his shoulder. We went back to the ER to get it checked out because it sprang up so quickly and was causing a dull pain and stiffness in his neck and shoulder. X-rays were done, nothing was found, we were told to ice it and go home. At least a week or two has gone by and it hasn’t gone down in size (luckily it hasn’t gotten any bigger or spread either which we were told to look for) and he’s still feeling the same symptoms. We don’t know what it could be and the doctors don’t seem to know either. They don’t believe it’s another stone or an infection from the stone which is what we thought it could be and even though we’re ruling things out they can’t seem to give a definitive answer of what may help other than some ibuprofen and rest.

As I’m sure you can imagine Seamus has been stressed out because of everything and he’s worried it could be something more serious so understand that’s why I’m giving you all updates and not him. I’ve been trying to keep him off the net so he can try to relax and not stress so much which could very well be causing him to feel this way. Some days are better than others and today has been the worst in awhile. I can only hope things get better as we see the doctor more and try to get a better diagnosis of what the hell is going on, but until then please be respectful and bear in mind that Seamus is feeling terrible right now so please take it easy on him and give him the support he needs. I try my best to keep his spirits lifted, but sometimes I don’t think it’s enough so please try to be kind and understanding.

I try to give updates through my Twitter, but I know a lot of you use Tumblr and check his tag so I figured I’d post something here, too. Thanks everyone for all of the kind words and support I’ve already gotten, I appreciate it all and I’m sure Seamus does too. Thanks for reading and I hope I cleared up some questions for those who have been out of the loop and want to know where their beloved Moose has been.

Lots of love,

Ash
