HI?? HELLO?? HOW DID I NOT SEE THIS OH MY GOD

The consequences of my actions weigh far too much
But this is for @ryy-bread specifically. Otherwise I would've lived through the guilt
and if you listen closely, you can hear every single will wood fan under 18 scream in anguish
sorry for the spam likes! been thinking a lot tonight.
i wasn't young when i found out about thomas. either through smosh or brandon rogers, im not sure. but, I can truly say that in the years ive been watching his content, there was a steady decline in that genuine passion and drive to create, rather than make a quick buck out of a "reliable" audience.
I've worked with content creators. I grew up on youtube. I've seen the creative process and how truly strenuous it is, but the absolute disappointment radiating off of (ex or current) fans of thomas has hit hard. it would have killed me to see someone I loved as a kid clearly lose any respect he has for an audience.
I love this fandom. I love the artists, the writers. but for the past YEARS it has been the community carrying this on their back. Thomas has lost any and all drive for content creation, yet alone sanders sides.
he's lost his passion, and that's fine. bros been on the internet for years. but honestly? it's fucking cowardly that he won't just come out and say it.
I hope both him and the community get some sort of reprieve.
(ALSO? LOGAN AND NICO? FUCK YEAH.)
Oh I don’t mind the spam likes at all haha! And yeah, I was also older when I learned about Thomas at first— I was 17, freshly disowned and discarded for being a queer teenager and his content originally brought me comfort. To see an older man who was queer and proud about it, who incorporated it into all of his content no matter how ‘cringe’, was so incredibly mood boosting. I hate to say it, but Sanders Sides content did keep me alive when I was young and lost in my own hurt.
Watching his content devolve hurts, and seeing him treat his employees hurts. Realizing he’s grifting for money as his quality declines is awful and I can’t even go back and read my own SaSi fanfic anymore without just feeling,,, disappointed.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, Thomas is the King of short form content. He got his big boom on Vine, and most of his videos prior to later SaSi projects were all under 15/20minutes. If he’d stuck to that formula, I think that it would make it so we were still getting regular Sides content. But Thomas had two long form videos get big and he accidentally shot himself in the foot trying to be Bigger and Better after that point. Which just means that nowadays we get nothing at all on the SaSi front.
It’s true he’s clearly lost interest in SaSi. And That’s fine. What isn’t okay is that he’s dragging the audience along for it, taking their money and promising things he won’t actually do. Artists are allowed- and expected— to grow beyond first projects. But leaving it to stagnante will kill his brand slowly.
(And yeah love Logan/Nico haha. It’s stupid but fun)
A few counter points so some of the worries people had about the good omens leaks under cut. (I’m trying to be comforting)
“Aziraphale’s hair is gray! Crowley looks older! This means they’re human!”
Or.. their appearance is psychological. Aziraphale most likely feels like a darker version of himself and his hair has darkened to gray reflect it. Crowley is more worn and tired, his appearance reflects that too.
“The bookshop is so different! That’s not the bookshop!”
Different set. Plus they do add so much CGI at the end so who knows what it’ll look like in the Final Cut.
Or maybe Muriel changed it. Like it looks so much more modern, maybe it was adapted to fit their style.
Or, maybe it really is a different bookshop. Like maybe he couldn’t go back to his so he made another one.
The point is, who knows?! It could all be literally anything. (And that is the beauty of it!)
Terry was the first one to say that they end up in a cottage in the downs together. Terry’s family fought to get the ending made.
I know it’s hard to trust writers both in general and given the circumstances regarding the previous co-writer. It’s so easy to give into the anxiety and worry of it all.
But if you worry now, and it ends well, you suffered for nothing. If you worry now, and your worst fears do come true? You’ve suffered way longer than necessary.
Everything will be okay.
