Tom:

Spooky Storytime: My teacher's ghost stories.

So knowing that it's spooky season, I thought this would be a good idea.

You see, when I was in 8th grade, my favorite teacher was my English teacher. She was so cool, sassy, and funny. She was an amazing teacher.

But she had a very cool and creepy ability. She always told us that she was able to see ghosts.

When we were good, finished our work and there was time to spare, she would tell us stories of her experiences. But not after making the classroom as dark as possible, closing the doors and windows and turning off the lights.

One thing she told us was that there was a ghost that always fallowed her around. She told us that he was an Indian American and he wasn't malevolent. Always quiet and watching in a protective matter. Sometimes she would tell us were he was, if he was inside the room or outside but never told us were exactly.

If they were fake stories and she was making them up or they were real, I didn't care, I believed them.

I want to share them with you guys. I recently found the notebook I had written them as she told them.

So starting tomorrow (for me at least, timezones) I will post them. I hope you guys like them.

I will forever think that Jack helped Chase filmed this video and they’re separate so Jack laughed at Chases joke

and no one will change my mind,,

“I’M

READY

TO

KICK

THE

ABSOLUTE

SHIT

OUT

OF

THIS

YEAR”

Seán said this during his 2017 recap video and boy has he achieved that!

2018 has been an absolutely incredible year!

BRING ON 2019!

I think I'm not going to be able to sleep tonight!!

In the shadows

The next time we see Anti, he feels more real, more dangerous, more pure evil. We do not see him, not at first, we just feel his presence. A slight shift in the atmosphere whenever Jack says something violent, a short blink in the lights when Jack dies in a game, an eeriness that seems to radiate from the thumbnails. Just small things, even Jack is uncomfortable in a way we haven’t seen before, he tries to laugh of the atmosphere, tries to tell us that there is some problem with electricity in the area, tries to tell us that he is experimenting with his thumbnails. We believe him, we have no choice, we have nothing to expose him with.

Then something changes, no one knows quite what, but something does. Jack becomes distant, hyper focused on whatever game he is playing. Then his background goes black, he shrugs it off as something broken in his lamps, but he does not fix it. After a while staring at the empty, black background, it starts to move, or so it feels. The videos are shorter now, not giving us a chance at seeing what’s behind Jack. He jokes about a particularly angry person in a game, saying that had he had a knife he would have been way more familiar, he ends the video shortly after, taking only a short moment to tell us he feels unwell.

Some time passes until something else happens, the video itself is quite normal, an innocent story about a family going on a holiday, where the children of said story are the narrators. One of them mentions seeing shadows in the dark, evil shadows that means to eat them. Jack goes quiet, which has become quite common lately, but this time he takes a quick glance at the camera before laughing and stating that he doesn’t feel like checking the viewfinder after the lights disappeared, he feels as if he sees something, or someone, moving in the shadows. He is smiling, but the smile is pained and tired.

More time passes, Jack is clearly worn-out and anxious in his videos now, we scream for him to take a break, but he does not listen. Eventually he goes quiet for a couple of days, before a single two-minute video is uploaded. It is Jack, and he is crying. The camera pans away, showing us Jack laying on the floor. He is clearly struggling against some invisible bonds, unable to stand up. Defeat is visible in his eyes as he turns still on the ground. Then a familiar chuckle comes through, even colder than we thought possible. Static fills the screen, the last thing we see are two others laying on the ground. The description simply states “Onto the next one then”.

The day after, Chase uploads a video to Jacks channel.

JJ's Charleston

Because of Strictly, I've been watching alot of different dances. As of right now, I've come across the Charleston. It's very fun, energetic and fast, but I really would like to learn how to dance it.

But above all, I just see JJ dancing the Charleston perfectly!

I really would like to see it happen! Animation, skit or even @therealjacksepticeye , anything really, I just want to see it.

But I understand if it's not possible.

In less than 15 minutes, I'm going to start a driving class and I already feel like I'm going to have a panic attack! Full on anxiety! I need to learn how to drive. I want to learn! But I'm scared that something will go wrong. Maybe I'm not ready or is just that everything is happening so fast....

WE HAVE TO START MAKING NOISE ON THE ISSUE OF ARTICLE 13 AND WE HAVE TO START DOING IT NOW!!!!!

I’m shocked to see just how SILENT everyone are about Article 13 and what it could potentially do to us European social media users as well as to anyone outside of Europe.

On September 2018, according to the Verge: “Yesterday, the European Parliament approved amendments to the controversial Copyright Directive, a piece of legislation intended to update copyright for the internet age”; “But the proposed change hasn’t finished yet, and it’s still too early to say exactly what it will mean”. That was back in September.

Recently, Youtube started making noise and sharing all the information needed on Article 13 and what will happen if it gets approved by the majority in the Parliament (you can read all the info on their twitter account @YTCreators). The news are not great and there’s NOT MUCH TIME LEFT before the final decision gets made. The whole European Parliament will make final votes for or against Article 13 in 2019 around spring time. That time will be crucial not only for US EUROPEANS but for THE REST OF THE WORLD as well. Why?

As WIRED writes, Article 13 will have major influence on all the content that gets shared around on social medias like Twitter, Tumblr, Facebook, Youtube. What that means? European social media users won’t be able to share music, videos, photos UNLESS they’re original and were created by them. If not, social medias will be forced to REMOVE any content that infringes on copyright, meaning all reaction videos, gifs, memes, songs will be continuously banned from being used by us.

And most importantly, YOUTUBE AND ALL YOUTUBE CREATORS IN EUROPE WILL BE IN GREAT DANGER. Why? Because same things will happen on youtube:

Billions of videos made by European content creators will probably be removed- again because of new copyright laws;

Small content creators will have the biggest crash and will literally have to say goodbye to their dreams of even becoming youtubers, because the focus will be put mainly on big youtubers and big corporations running youtube channels- everyone else will be left in the dark;

The access to youtube videos by us regular viewers will be limited SIGNIFICANTLY to the point where there’ll be any content left to watch;

Any creator OUTSIDE OF EUROPE will lose all their European viewers, meaning SIGNIFICANT DROP IN NUMBERS;

Any European content creators will experience significant changes on their channels- all to the worse resulting in HUGE LOSS OF VIEWS and SUBSCRIBERS as well as FACING THE CONSTANT BATTLE AGAINST COPYRIGHT STRIKES;

That’s right, all European content creators will have to PROVE that their content is original and ONLY ORIGINAL. If not, those videos get removed instantly. So what does it mean to all the gaming channels? To all the react channels? Youtubers right now have to deal with constant copyright strikes resulting either in demonetization or their videos getting taken down- what will happen when Article 13 gets put in place???

UNTIL SPRING WE HAVE AROUND 4-5 MONTHS LEFT- PERFECT AMOUNT OF TIME TO MAKE SOME NOISE, TO SPREAD AWARENESS AND MOST IMPORTANTLY- TAKE ACTION!! AND IT HAS TO BE DONE NOW!!

So what can we really do?

First and foremost don’t sit back on this and think all of this will be fine, it’s not that scary as everyone makes it to be. OH HELL YEAH IT WILL GET SCARY once you will face all the consequences of not doing anything to change things around.

GO AND TYPE OUT YOUR OWN POSTS SHARING YOUR CONCERNS AND ENCOURAGING EVERYONE TO TAKE ACTION- TAG AS MANY FANDOMS AND YOUTUBERS AS YOU POSSIBLY CAN THINK OF

Anyone who lives in Europe- go to saveyourinternet.eu and contact your MEPs. THIS PART RIGHT HERE IS CRUCIAL, BECAUSE THIS IS THE ONLY WAY WE CAN BE HEARD. WRITE EMAILS TO THEM, MAKE CALLS and state all the FACTS on why ARTICLE13 SHOULDN’T BE APPROVED!!!!! PESTER THE HELL OUT OF YOUR MEPS!!!!!

Anyone outside of Europe, please PLEASE go to this site and sign this petition: https://t.co/QY3fwK113F. The goal is 2 million signs, but I’m 100% we can surpass that goal and show just how much we care about this!!

As an European myself, I’m GREATLY TERRIFIED about what will happen if Article 13 gets approved in 2019. If action will not be taken right now, we will be striped down of our ability to stay creative, have fun on the internet and enjoy the content shared by everyone around us.

Don’t let Article 13 take away this from us and don’t wait until the last day when it’s all too late. You have time right now to make change so TAKE YOUR PHONES, YOUR LAPTOPS AND COMPUTERS AND CREATE SOME GODDAMN NOISE ABOUT ARTICLE13 ON ALL YOUR SOCIAL MEDIAS!!!!

Tomorrow

I can't believe it.... A new chapter!

First day of college starts tomorrow!!

I'm super excited and nervous!

Puerto Rico: Que tengas suerte, Jack!

How do you say “Good luck, Jack!” In your native language?💚

For me it’s “Go n-éirí an t-áth leat, Seán!”

F.R.I.D.A still doesn't know about FCG....

I'm sorry....
