Pshh Idk If Anyone Cares But I Made A Blog For My General Interests (besides Sanders Sides) Charlieandalgernon,

This isn’t really funny, mostly panic-inducing, but in 6th grade, we were doing a show and one of the leads is in a room backstage where all the costumes and props are. For the show, we had these wooden benches and they were in the room at the time. I wasn’t in the room then, I was sitting on some steps backstage, but what I heard happened was that he was running in the room and he cut his leg on the bench pretty deep to the point of stitches. Everybody was panicking, somebody got his mom from the audience and she came and got him out the door to the hospital; it was a lot. At this point, the director is backstage and firstly she’s asking if he’s okay, but second, she’s asking where this other girl is. In 6th grade, the people who had lines had something called a twin who also has your role and learns the same lines, and the two alternate every other night who plays the character and who is just another random person in the musical. So our director is freaking out wondering where the girl who also has this guys part is when we all look onstage (the show didn’t stop) and see that she had already gotten her costume on and was acting on stage. It was really impressive how she managed to get on stage so quickly. 

Oh, and a couple days later I went around and got a bunch of people to sign a card for the guy who cut his leg, who was okay btw. So yeah, that was wack.

And a story that’s actually funny here, but last year in the show one of the characters had to run on stage for a part and another has to stop them running by grabbing their arm and the one running fell so many times :P It looked like it hurt but at the same time it was funny and we all laughed about it

Apparently my director went to see a production of West Side Story a few years ago, and the guy playing Chino forgot his gun before coming out for his final scene. Once it got to the big scene where he is supposed to shoot Tony, he screeched “Poison Boots” and kicked the actor playing Tony until he went down. The girl playing Maria then had to jerk the shoe off of Chino’s foot, and had to do the gunshot scene asking “How many kicks Chino? How many kicks, and one kick left for me”. 

People wonder why content creators slow down....

And those same people refuse to acknowledge that though the notes say 1000+ or 2000+ or 3000+?

A 4/5th, 5/6th, 6/7th, etc of those notes?

They’re all likes.

That happening is like looking someone in the eye and going “Look, look at this! Here are so many people who will tell you that you’re talented, but oh, wait? What’s this? Only a fraction of them think it’s good enough for other people to love as well.”

What’s the point of writing content if there is no spreading, reaching branches of that content being shared?

People put out content for three reasons:

They love making it, they want/hope other people to/will love it, and they want it to reach as many people as possible.

But love is sensitive, love is fragile, and it’s so, so, so easy to fall out of love with doing something if it doesn’t get the support it needs.

The next time you wonder why your content creators are slowing down? 

Reblog.

Use tags pertaining to what the post is about WITHIN THE FIRST FIVE of the tags - because not tagging is another way that spread is limited – on this hellsite, unless the thing your searching for is in the tags or in the post itself? Not going to find it.

I just want to take a moment to appreciate that Logan wrote “Full Moon” on the calendar, when it is already printed there.

Bad: I don’t think people understand the effect QSMP had on some of the streamers in terms of like… The real raw mental impact, so I’m gonna set the stage for you. [...] Imagine that you were given a friend to play Minecraft with — like your best friend — BUT if this person dies, if they die in the game, you never get to talk to them again. Can you imagine what that’s like?

Bad: If you did not live through the QSMP, if you did not live through that, it almost sounds like, crazy. But I don’t think people realize how much of a joyous experience the Eggs were. They were SO awesome! They were literally so awesome to just hang out with and spend time with.

Bad: I’m not saying I regret it. To this day, I loved the experience. I’d do it all over again in a heartbeat. Even knowing how everything went, I would still do it all over again. [...] I would still do it all over again, because — even knowing like, all the trauma and suffering and stuff like that — because it was just… It was just that fun, it was just that fun.

Earlier today during his stream, Bad shared his experience and thoughts about the Eggs and the significant emotional (and traumatic) impact they had on him and his fellow QSMP members.

This clip a very edited-down version since his commentary was ~13 minutes long, so I highly recommend checking out Bad's VOD if you have the time. (Timestamp: 47:36 - 1:00:14)

Bad: To be fair Chat, I really think the QSMP... I don't think anyone really can relate to it, Chat. It's something that's so... I've told people this before, like– but it's hard to understand. Right? Like...

Where was I? Sorry Chat, I'm losing my train of thought. Look, let me explain Chat– here's the dealio, ok? Here's the dealio, and this is what I mean when I say like, it's important to keep this in mind, Chat. Ok? It's important to keep this in mind:

I don’t think people understand the effect that the QSMP had on like, some of the streamers, in terms of like… The real raw mental impact, so I’m gonna set the stage for you. This is the analogy I’ve given to every person who I’ve like, shared this with. Imagine you meet somebody– [He hears a strange noise] What the fudge was that? Did you hear that?

Anyway– Chip! The story I was just relaying to Chat, Chip, was this: I was sharing this story with them, I said–  I was giving them an analogy. 

Imagine Chat, for example, imagine that you were… playing Minecraft, with like– you were given a friend to play Minecraft with, Chat, like your best friend, and [unintelligible] were like, “Hey, you get to play Minecraft with this person, right? BUT if this person dies – they’re currently your best friend, Chip – but if they die in the game, you never get to talk to them again. Ever again.” Can you imagine what that’s like, Chip?

I don’t think a lot of people understand like, what that does, right? I’m not gonna say that like, it creates this situation, Chip, that like, messes with your head, but it– Chip – but it totally, totally does, Chip. It messes with your head! It literally puts you in a position where you’re second-guessing and thinking about everything, Chip! You’re thinking about EVERYTHING Chip! Ok? And that’s the problem, Chip– is you turn into a paranoid monster because of it, Chip! Like, you don’t understand Chip– I was- I was so afraid of every dirt block, I used to carry a shovel with me Chip, and I would specifically right-click dirt blocks that looked suspicious because mines, Chip– mines could not be shoveled! Like, I was crazy, Chip! But here’s the problem, Chip: that craziness is still there. I’m genuinely like–

I remember thinking Chip, that I would one day– I was like, “I’m going to move past–” here, let’s go up here, Chip. I remember thinking one day Chip, I was like, “I’m gonna move past the underground base, one of these days. You know, one of these days, I feel like I’ll be able to grow and achieve the desire to build a base that doesn’t have to be underground.” But I don’t think it’s possible now Chip, because I think… I just don’t know. I feel like the paranoia– there’s still like, residual leftover trauma from that situation, Chip.

But here’s the problem Chip: I don’t think I don’t think– I don’t think people understand it. Like, I just really don’t. But I also don’t blame them Chip, ‘cuz I don’t think it’s possible to fully understand it if you haven’t lived through it. Like, if you did not live through the QSMP… I’m talking about the QSMP, I don’t- I don’t know if that was obvious– if you did not live through that, it almost sounds like, crazy. But I don’t think people realize how much of a joyous experience like, the Eggs were. Right? I don’t think people realize it. Like, they were SO awesome! They were literally so awesome to just hang out with and spend time with, Chip. So, it’s just one of those things that–

[He’s interrupted by a loud rumble of thunder above them]

Did lightning just strike here? Is it thunderstorming out…? But anyway, Chip. That’s the food for thought.

But that’s the problem– Like, every time it rains in Minecraft, I have to like, look at the sky, and I get this weird, like, second--hand vibe because of the trauma. The trauma, Chip! The trauma is real! But that’s the point– I’m not saying I regret it. I, to this day Chip, I loved the experience. I’d do it all over again in a heartbeat. Even knowing how everything went, I would still do it all over again. 

[He falls down] Dangit, don’t come over here Chip, ‘cuz I’m coming back up! Ok.

I would still do it all over again, because — even knowing like, all the trauma and suffering  and stuff like that — because it was just… It was just that fun, Chip, it was just that fun. I really wi– I don’t think it’s ever gonna be possible, Chip, to give people that same energy, like that same experience. You know what I mean, Chip? I don’t think it’s ever gonna be possible again. Like, EVER.

Because… because like, one: I will say on one level Chip, I will say on one level, like– it’s sort of emotionally like… It’s emotionally devastating, and I think to actually go through that– and this is where like, if I ever do end up going to a– see a therapist, if I ever do end up going to see a therapist at any point, I’ll talk it over with them and be like, “Hey, what do you think about this?” Because I genuinely think on one level, like– it’s created this fear of forming attachments because of like, how things can go. You know what I mean? Like, the fear of getting attached to something and then potentially losing it. Like, it’s- it’s a genuine thing. I think people forget about that.

Like, at the end of the day, everything was RP, right? On the server. You know what I mean? Like, everything was RP, Chip. BUT at the same point, even though it was RP Chip, it was still like– there the reality of you were still playing like, with another person, and you were still getting that experience, and it felt like you were genuinely attached to someone and you didn’t want anything bad to happen to them. It was GENUINELY stressful, Chip.

But at the same point, I don’t regret it, and I don’t think it was a bad experience. I’m– 

Sometimes in life Chip, you go through stuff, and maybe you have a certain amount of like, things that like, can happen, that you’re like, “You know what, maybe this wasn’t a good thing that this happened,” but at the same point, you still aren’t necessarily upset about it, because… it’s like growing as a person, right? Here’s the thing Chip; even bad situations, Chip, can lead to an overall good outcome. Like–

Even if you’re going through something bad Chip, just because a bad thing happens doesn’t mean that only bad things have to come from that. That’s one of the things I tell people all the time, Chip, is that if you go through a bad situation, you can learn from it, and you can use your experience to help others. And you can be that– you can be, at the worst-case scenario, you can be someone for other people who are going through that same experience to lean on when they go through that.I think there’s a certain amount of comfort that comes from that; from knowing no matter how bad your situation is, you’re not the only person who’s experienced it. You know what I mean?

I made an edit for the song Death, Thrice Drawn by ‘the scary jokes’!!! and its roCEIT WOOOOO (well sort of one-sided but wegruweiriuwehr whatever)

i hope you like it bc it took me so long omg... i mean, not as long as the last one i made but still long 

my mom told me that she wants to get me noise cancelling headphones for my birthday!!!! AHHHHH IM SO EXCITED

my only concern though is that i dont want my mom spending a lot of money on me bc i know they can be pretty expensive.. i looked online and there are some that are like 60 dollars which is pretty good, but y’know, i would feel guilty if it was any more than that

...i just chipped the back of my tooth

thankfully its a baby tooth (yes im almost 15 and i still have baby teeth, shush) so im not worried, but... i was eating corn puffs

right im tired so ill head off for the night but this was fun! i followed both people and im totally gonna watch next time they stream

i know nobody probably is lol, but if anyone wants to check them out i can give u their links (and plz say yes, theyre both rlly cool)

like that one woman? she was playing guitar and harmonica at the SAME TIME, with the harmonica on this thing around her neck. get on her level

so i was just browsing yt and i came across a video by jacksepticeye where he donated to small twitch streamers, and i though “huh… i mean im kinda poor but maybe i can go to streamers who have like no viewers and leave some nice chat messages or something” and GUYS

You get such a dopamine rush by seeing these people smile and say thanks for following or whatever, it’s so nice seeing these people so happy and content in their small community 

like i found this nice older woman in the music category who is like streaming on twitch and another streaming service on 1 viewer and after she finished singing her song she said “thank you, a girlwhowrites… 6, which is what you call yourself, ahah, for the follow. :)” and i hirweorew i think ive found a new hobby, i highly recommend doing this

Logan Sanders said yo mama this is not a drill

im very grateful for the lessons in photography i was taught in stop motion class because just now they made it possible to photograph the stars with my phone in spite of the camera usually not detecting the light of stars because theyre so dim,,,, enjoy these shiny motherfuckers
