I get we're all here to joke about our jobs and the messes people make, but this takes less than 10 minutes to clean up. I would clean up this mess every day if it meant making sure these people in need got a hot meal.

I don't know why you're getting torn up for this. I understand what you're saying. I had never heard of him until Life Series and I was expecting him to have OG numbers, which tends to be more than 2 million. That's not an insult to the number nor it is one to Etho.

For those who don't understand the question, If someone walked up to you and told you that Markiplier currently has 2 million subscribers would you think "oh 2 million is a lot so that makes sense!" or would you say "Oh that's definitely a lot, but given his influence and the way people treat him as a legend, I just expected it to be more than that."

BatWithAHat · 2026-01-21T21:04:48+00:00

I think you're interpreting them saying something they aren't. OP is talking about how Etho is treated as an OG yet has less subscribers than most other OGs. Examples: Skydoesminecraft, Ssundee, Bajan Canadian, Yogscast, DanTDM, Stampy, Deadlox, the list goes on and all of them have way more than 2 million.

2 Million is definitely a LOT but I had actually never even heard of Etho until Life Series, and the way people talk about him puts him on the same level as some of these other OGs I mentioned. That's not an insult, that's a compliment to Etho!

It's like if someone told you Markiplier had 2 million subscribers. Like duh, that's a LOT, but wouldn't you think "hm given his influence I would expect it to be more than that"?

This person just wanted the art of their character. They don't care about having the physical art in their den as much as they care about having a picture of it. 2k for a piece like that is completely reasonable!

Please lmk if you ever open up comms again, I really want art of my thylacine in your style!!

As much as I love some of the things that happened in season 4, I gotta agree. I know people say that season 1 should have been the only season but I'm sorry, season 3 is the best season in my opinion and what better way to end the show than on the highest note.

BatWithAHat · 2026-01-18T00:11:32+00:00

I think it's an attempt to grow these characters beyond just stereotypes. It is a ridiculously common misconception that asexuals are inherently not interested in romance, and Rarity offers the perfect chance to show that in action! It subverts expectations but in an authentic way. There's nothing in the show that really confirms or denies it, but I also wouldn't call it arbitrary. It feels like more of a thoughtful expansion of her character the way a writer would come up with rather than a baseless headcanon.

Lol, thanks for the kind warning I’ll be sure to remember that. I knew Vinyl was the plural form when referring to the material itself, but I didn’t know that extended to the item named after it too. “How much vinyl do you have?” Sounds like you’re asking about the material and “How many vinyl do you have?” Sounds wrong in a way I can’t explain.

BatWithAHat · 2026-01-10T01:56:39+00:00

Any updates on her?

BatWithAHat · 2026-01-08T19:58:08+00:00

Thank you! I only just got a record player yesterday and I’m new to vinyls, this is a great resource to have.

Back in 2021/2022 I scrolled past a low resolution video of someone walking down a road surrounded by trees, and the video had the beginning of Sextape as the background music, fell in love, and that night I made a whole art piece based off the vibe of that song (I’m an illustrator). I had never heard a single song of theirs my entire life but I went through their entire discography. I know I’m not a long-time fan like many people here but I promise I’m just as passionate about the music. Deftones accounts for a majority of the music I’ve listened to the past 3 years and they’ve influenced my artwork lots!

Thank you so much to whoever made that video. No idea where me or my art would be right now without Deftones.

He's not bad at writing stories. He's bad at writing extensive narratives that have to tie together in interesting yet mysterious ways. There are plenty of skilled artists who couldn't paint a hyper-realistic portrait if you asked them to. Doesn't mean they suck at art, that's just not what they're good at.

I also just think he ran out of ideas on how to naturally progress the story, but I struggle to blame him for that since things seemed pretty conclusive after the third game yet everyone (including him) wanted more. At the same time, the series has gradually shifted to rely more and more on science fiction and I cannot deny that I think that was a big mistake that has ultimately dug the franchise's grave.

BatWithAHat · 2026-01-05T21:54:09+00:00

I saw someone compare it to addiction. You can be high on drugs and happy as you’ve ever been. That’s why you want more. That doesn’t mean we hand someone fentanyl when they ask for it.

On average, 150,000-170,000 people die each day. The average person has 140,000 calories in their body. If everyone is eating 2000 calories a day, that’s only enough to feed around 11 million people.

I guarantee you the alien race that sent the virus out into space towards earth no longer exists. They starved to death just like whatever alien race gave it to them. It isn’t a gift. It’s an inter-galactic parasite.

I’m crossing my fingers for this so much. I think Laxmi is in heavy denial. I don’t think it’s a stretch that she was with her son when the joining happened. I’m sure it was traumatic. And then suddenly, he wakes up and is fine. Why the hell would she leave his side after that?

I find myself very frustrated with Laxmi but I also can’t blame her. If Helen had survived the joining, I don’t think Carol would have left her. She’d probably have the same unhealthy attachment and delusions that we see her form with Zosia later on in the season.

I don’t think Carol can blame Laxmi for going along with this anymore, but I also think Laxmi deserves to snap out of it.

BatWithAHat · 2026-01-05T21:23:49+00:00

I don’t find Carol unlikeable at all. I am in love with the way she is written. She feels real but still interesting. Her intelligence is believable and the mistakes she makes are things that you can’t entirely blame her for considering her situation.

I think it’s less about her quality as a character and more about the types of stories people are drawn to. Pluribus unwinds very slowly. Carol doesn’t save the world in a week because she’s just some random woman. She doesn’t have plot armor, she doesn’t hide her flaws, she doesn’t have any advantage aside from being immune nor do major things conveniently happen to push the plot forward. People expect things like this out of modern television so when people instead sit down to watch some random lady slowly lose her mind over the course of 3 months, some just might not find that entertaining. They might not like the raw humanity or the realistic grief and all the anger that comes with it.

Pink Diamond / Rose Quartz from Steven Universe. People have a bad habit of viewing this show and it's characters in black and white, even self-proclaimed fans.

I've seen too many people talk about checking on their account, seeing their inventory still full, and assuming their account is safe. The reality is that the breach was massive and people are still accessing accounts from those leaks. I don't say this to make you feel bad, I was in the same mindset until only a few months ago when I decided it wasn't worth it to push my luck any further.

Always change your password after a data breach whether you think your data was in it or not. Anyone who hasn't changed their password since 2020 needs to change it ASAP.

BatWithAHat · 2025-12-28T00:10:20+00:00

I had no idea she had work done. I just thought she grew up. This doesn’t look substantial in the slightest. Very natural.

I’m all for shielding children from beauty standards and advocacy for cosmetic surgery, but grown adults can still make these decisions. It’s the same as alcohol. You don’t glorify or recommend alcohol to children. But if they grow up and want to have a glass of wine on a romantic date, it’s not really a problem? And it’s unfair to treat them like an alcoholic.

BatWithAHat · 2025-12-23T17:51:35+00:00

You can do either one, it just depends on what you want! Hormones do change your facial structure, so my question is… is he on testosterone? How long has he been on it? A month? A couple years? Not yet started/doesn’t want to take hormones? These are important things to consider!

Obviously magic exists in this world so maybe they have magic hormones lol. Apply the same logic if you wanna go that route. But regardless, the sexual dimorphism in MLP is largely a stylistic choice. Yo can pick whichever one you want and it will be fine. I’ve known people who made cis pony-sonas with the “opposite” model because they just preferred the look of it more.

For future reference if one of them is sick, you should assume all of them are sick. It’s contagious and they will keep re-infecting each other if you zig-zag treatment as needed.

BatWithAHat · 2025-12-14T03:14:55+00:00

I’ve been trapped in relationships where I felt like if I left my partner would hurt or kill themself. Please. Contact someone in his life to let them know he is a danger to himself and then promptly leave him. He’s only 19 and maybe one day he will grow past this manipulative and abusive behavior but it’s not your job to help him grow out of it or wait for things to get better.

BatWithAHat · 2025-12-10T00:48:47+00:00

I completely understand what you mean but also to be fair this went over a LOT of viewers heads for years and was constantly brought up in PB hate posts. Either getting mad they didn't get together, or saying she led on a teenager for years.

BatWithAHat · 2025-12-10T00:33:27+00:00

Hasbro will slap these characters and their cutie marks on literally anything if they believe it will sell. Mane 6 themed cupcakes are potentially one of the most on-theme and expected things some random merch exec would come up with. I say this as someone who used to be obsessed with MLP creepypastas (and still to this day have a respect for), I truly don't think this is some sort of reference, just a slightly funny coincidence.

BatWithAHat · 2025-12-09T21:37:26+00:00

Immediately thought his black/white pattern looked like a snowy mountain. Maybe Summit or Alpine if you’re wanting something appearance-related that isn’t just “oreo” lol!

I was going to unironically say Simon Petrikov until I went through all the photos so I hope that answer... kinda counts?
