I KNOWWW holy shit I've read the book thrice already. chris absolutely blew me away with his writing. some parts dragged on but he made up for it with the incredible story building and ways he used to make every page a surprise. I can't and won't stop talking about ts
God I forgot how much I adore Revelator. I love love love Chris' writing style and Will's narration so much. This first episode was always my favourite when they released them on the actual LITWTC podcast. The style is really entertaining and I love it a lot. That "the migraine cracks the back of Issac's skull like a fucking coconut" line has lived in my head since it came out
Obsessed with the art of this one as well. Lookat that :] I think Will drew these, but I can't be sure
could you possibly be microtonal? challenging western notions if art?
I'm theoretically dense, it's impressive
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)
when i tell you i burst out fucking laughing at 1 in the morning. both self and ish usually make me sob my intestines out but NO. im questioning my existence
Ladies, Gentlemen, Neithers, boths, Inbetweens, boys girls and squirrels, i have concocked the perfect blend of stupidity for you Will Wood loving queer variety packs. May I introduce to your corneas and tympanic membranes the lovely, the awful, the amazing and absolutely wretched…
the ENTIRE self-ish Will Wood album on Kazoo.
this took me 3 days, please listen to it.
the original is genuinely so comforting to me and this broke me i think. thank you kind piano persnon
(So I dequantized it from a swing rhythm into equal eighth notes for anyone wondering)
It physically pained me to have to play this
and if you listen closely, you can hear every single will wood fan under 18 scream in anguish
Idk if anyone will see this, but fridge magnets! Not bad for the first time using paint pens, I dare say!
(Why do the Creativi-twins have such complex designs tho, my fricken hands-)
the thought of will wood randomly jumping off stage and into the crowd mid-set and beating the shit out of an audience member unprompted is one of the funniest fucking things i can possibly imagine . like not in a comical or even dramatic way . not glamorous or demure . just like tackling someone and kicking and punching and slamming them until they die . its so hilarious . to imagine he would do that . because he would never, but just like imagine . i dont think you understand . peak comedy
