Also, I thought I would share these two pictures that I took (the first one in summer and the second one in autumn). I’ve already shared these pictures and the charity event on Instagram because I want to help out. I know I don’t have many followers but at least I tried to help. And you should too!

Expectations

I wanna talk about the egos for a second. 

They have been by far one of my favourite things that have ever come out of this community and my own brain. I love characters, I love story and I love a good mystery so to have our own lore and plot in this community based around content that I put out there is nothing short of surreal and amazing. Recording let’s plays is awesome but this was something I created and put out there intentionally with high hopes and no one else at the time was doing it and it went over super well. It was incredibly creatively fulfilling. 

However in the mix of all this has come a lot of frustration and headaches too. I am constantly beating myself up over not doing more with them and putting things off because what I want to do with them is so fucking ambitious that I stop myself from trying sometimes out of fear of not living up to it and messing the whole thing up. I feel like I have one good shot at a story with them and don’t want to put out something that doesn’t make sense or is safe or is just badly written and kind of lame. I want it to be GREAT but that’s a really hard thing to do, especially when almost the entire creative process for all of this is resting on me. It doesn’t have to of course but it’s my baby and I want to treat it well so I get frustrated when things don’t go EXACTLY how I want with the characters.

Not only that but people fucking LOVE these characters (which is the sweetest thing in the world) so I want to do them justice for all of you as well. Use them as a way of telling a good story with characters you can relate to and designs/imagery that inspires you. Sometimes those expectations aren’t met or are set WAY too high, far too early and what comes out disappoints some people or isn’t exactly what you wanted either. This constant cycle and back and forth in my head has been a huge creative and motivational road block for me. I have ideas and plot points and places I want all this to go but trying to get there has proven hard for me because again, I don’t want to fuck it up. The stuff that I’m trying to do is also just taking so fucking long to talk through. 

This is why teases have been slow and sparse. All of this is way bigger than I thought it would be initially so thank you for that. I love these characters so so much and I want to see them fly high. I do love all the theorising though and the stories people write about them and how creative you all are. It inspires me. Keep theorising, keep having fun, keep your stories going. I want to have more fun with it and not put so much pressure on it all anymore.

Appreciation!

Hey gang!

I just wanted to say that I saw a lot of the really nice things people were saying and doing while I was gone. I wasn’t here all the time but I would stop in and check and people were being so supportive to each other and keeping things positive and I love that.

The daily appreciation posts were super sweet and reminded me of many different aspects of why I started all of this in the first place and how diverse this community is. 

The “sleepovers” where everyone would watch my old videos together was so heartwarming to see. It really showed me again how tight knit everyone here is and how much this community means to people. It would be so easy for a community to degrade quickly at this size but even when I wasn’t leading by example, you all were. That really means a lot :)

Also all the PMA wrists in the tag today are so awesome! It still astonishes me that PMA has taken off like it has. That you’ve all made it part of your daily routines as much as I have is so cool. It also reaffirms it for me too! I didn’t expect it to be such a huge movement in the YT sphere and it’s taking over by storm, that’s amazing! I do still have plans for PMA clothing and other types of merch items so thank you for being patient with that. It’s been a big part of my stress lately but it’ll all be worth it in the end and we can show the whole world what PMA is :D

So just thanks for being there, being understanding and being there for each other. I couldn’t ask for better people watching my content and it makes me happy to be part of all of this! Thanks guys!

You showed us that you don’t have to have remarkable powers to be a superhero and to save lives 💚

You taught us that there are good and bad sides to all of us, but that our demons can be fought if we try

You showed us it is important to use our skills to help others, and trying our best, even when it seems like it’s in vain

You showed us that even when we’re quiet and shy, or find ourselves lost for words, it doesn’t have to stop us in our tracks, we can still accomplish great things and get the things that we need to do, done

You showed us that even those who are the greatest at their craft can falter, as long as you keep on trying and trying again, keep on aiming to improve and don’t give up!

You showed us that having hardships in your life doesn’t necessarily mean that there are no positives to be found. Life isn’t always dark and joy can be taken even from the smallest successes 💚

You taught us that change isn’t a bad thing, and doesn’t have to change us as people or change who we are

You taught us to laugh and smile, to love ourselves and be happy with who we are, and made many of us happy again when nobody else could

Thank you Sean, for everything! 💚

rb to have a cute jj on your blog

Since we’re trending second on Tumblr today, I want to take a moment and use this as a chance to talk about something important.

There have been 2 mass shootings in America over the last few days and every time I see one of these in the news I feel sick to my stomach. Such awful, unnecessary and avoidable tragedies. People’s lives ended forever because of some sick minded people who should never have that much power in the first place to do that much damage so easily.

Something has to be done. Leadership need to take charge and stop spouting the same bullshit over and over again, while not actually implementing change. Laws need to be rewritten or changed or new laws brought in to make this type of event harder to enact. Media need to stop circle jerking these events for clicks and views and exploiting tragedy for gain. I dunno man just SOMETHING. It’s horrifying to think these types of things still happen in 2019.

I dont have answers sadly, all I have is a voice, an audience and no tolerance for this stuff.
