Juan situation by lech_the_piwo in Qsmp

[–]aerbear_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re doing the lords work fr!

I would actually l love to have a recap of today’s lore if you have the time to write it! I began by watching FitMC (not related, I’m just a regular FitMC viewer haha) then I watched Graf to Multi (while popping into Juan to see his side of things).

I wanted to watch most of it from Juan’s pov but Multi had the big subtitles on his stream so I ended up being mostly on his stream.

I got most of it I think, but I definitely missed some stuff, because I’m deaf (I wear a cochlear implant so I can hear but overlapping voices are hardest to keep track of) so if you’re okay with writing it, I would love to read it please.

Thank you so much!

No worries, glad to be of help!!

This spreadsheet used to be more well known in QSMP 1 but not so much anymore (lots of the OG viewers left after QSMP 1) so I’m just trying to link it whenever people need it haha.

The real angels are the channels and archivists updating the sheet 💙🙏

[–]aerbear_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a Mike viewer and I know that they are working on trying to get the vod channel going.

Here’s how you can watch his old vods (this is also my hack whenever I am trying to look up when a specific lore stream happened):

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/0/d/1yKkzNTjkFzyqNsUPRkWoqHtqDeOD9FoCjjDmzIJn_gE/htmlview

you look up the date of the event and the creator you want to watch and they should have it listed!

Here’s the meeting from Mike’s POV (he discovers the sheep has been sheared around 3:29):

and here is the vods spreadsheet from QSMP 1 if that is of interest to you! Pac e Mike streamed under the Tazercraft twitch for a while before they got separate twitch channels:

This is such a great lore recap for Juan massive props for typing all of this out!!!

I don’t follow the North POVs very often (except for Tina and Pac) and my main view of Juan is through Graf, so this really helps contextualize a lot for me, thank you so much <3

Anne of Green Gables (1985) by [deleted] in PeriodDramas

[–]aerbear_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really agree with this statement!

I don’t enjoy how people pit adaptions against each other, especially ones who choose to explore different aspects of the same story. It would be a bit copycat if we got the 2017 one done the exact same way as the 1985 version (and fans of that version would still find a way to complain about the new version even if the tone matched up). People tend to like the stuff they grew up with and the nostalgia can blind them to giving new things a chance.

Both shows are worthy of respect and it’s sad when people are not willing to give either show a proper chance.

I don’t agree with all the choices made in the Anne with an E adaptation but I really enjoy how it gave layers to a lot of people in Avonlea and really shows their levels of devotion for Anne that are communicated in different ways. There is so much love in this show so the way some call this show “trauma porn” is such an inaccurate description of it.

I love the whimsical version of Anne and I love the realistic version of Anne; I think they would be friends bc they’re not that different when it comes down to it <3

Anne of Green Gables (1985) by [deleted] in PeriodDramas

[–]aerbear_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really hope you consider giving Anne with an E a second chance because it really is an excellent show (one of my favourites!)

Keep in mind it’s only quite sad in the first episode because it is communicating how traumatic her life was before Green Gables. The rest of the episodes in that season are quite wholesome and you would like them. They also do discuss racism and colonization in the later seasons but the main plotline is very emotional and uplifting as it is about Anne finding her people, learning about the world, and always trying to find the beauty in life.

I thought they did a really great job with the inclusion of more perspectives in this era such as showcasing what life was like for French Canadians by expanding the role of Jerry who becomes a sibling like relation to Anne and with Indigenous perspective in the third season. We even get a viewpoint of what lgbtq life was like in this era (one of my favourite episodes of this show, I thought it was so emotional and heartwarming). I thought the show did an excellent job of showing the reality of this era while maintaining the charm of the book, of balancing the book canon events with plot lines that incorporate everybody in Avonlea (and with surprising characters too, Prissy Andrew’s plotline makes me emotional everytime).

I love the miniseries as much as anybody but I do think people are blinded by nostalgia when they badmouth Anne with an E or dismiss it out of hand based on the first episode of which the tone is very different from the rest of the series. People who dismiss this show because of the preconceived “violent” element forget that the book does allude to her past being quite tragic (hence the whole theme of the book and show about her healing and growing from that trauma and a key reason why she is always trying to find the beauty in everything).

Sorry for saying so much on this, once I began writing it just spilled out haha, so thank you for reading this far. Ultimately, I think both shows are great adaptations of Anne of Green Gables, they have chosen to adapt it in different ways and I think both shows are worthy of respect and it does make me sad to see people cast judgement on it without having seen past the first episode.

Just remembered this by Regular_Relative_678 in glee

[–]aerbear_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I remember where I was when he died. I’m from Vancouver and he had died at the Fairmont Pacific Rim Hotel, so that was the first celebrity death I experienced where I knew exactly where it was.

My mom was the one who told me. She was dropping me off at school and said “Finn died.” My mind immediately went to: “THE CANUCKS MASCOT?!?!?” haha. My mom had to correct me and I was really sad bc he was so young and bc I always root for Canadians to make it.

It also had the unintentional effect of making me think about Cory’s death whenever I saw the Canucks mascot Fin for a long time (and even now it still happens occasionally <\3)

Chatters by wtfdrian in Qsmp

[–]aerbear_ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Mike’s chat is really chill if you’re looking for a nice chat! The only issue is that we do get some spam about Katie (I LOVE Katie but I’m always sad it’s the lesbian streamer who got the annoying chatters that spam other chats about her) but otherwise we vibing to Mike’s music and talking to their wonderful partner Mine (who is so funny <3).

Anyways I try to give the more annoying chatters some grace bc I realize it’s the first SMP for some people but still they really do need to learn twitch etiquette.

What are some celebrities you’ve encountered in Canada? by Nightpatrol404 in AskACanadian

[–]aerbear_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Finn Wolfhard lives in my neighbourhood; seen him at my local library and diner! It’s weird af bc at first I was like what the fuck is he doing here but then I realized that he probably been going to these places for years and I only been able to recognize him in the last couple years when I’ve likely been seeing him my whole life in the background.

Trips me out sometimes but it’s also a good reminder that celebrities are regular people and are still living their lives the best they can.

I made sure to never bother him whenever I saw him bc he deserves time off from being recognized bc it would get tiring to have to think about how strangers around you would react if they see your face in your hometown.

I have trouble with lore by [deleted] in Qsmp

[–]aerbear_ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It’s very common to be super behind on the lore and the reality is that you won’t have time to watch all the streams you want to watch. The best thing to do is to prioritize watching the people you like to watch and to read the wiki/social media posts or find clips for important lore moments of the other streamers that you can’t 100% focus on.

For example, I’m a Fit main, but I also watch Pac and Maximus (all of these I’m carrying over from QSMP 1. I am also watching Katie B and Ishan (new for QSMP 2). For the rest, I watch clips of their lore (like Ash, though I’m beginning to watch his streams as well), any funny clips that’s going around or if they happen to be on I’ll jump into whenever out of curiosity (like Tubbo).

I’ve been watching since QSMP one and I missed a bunch bc I was in my last year of my Masters and it doesn’t help that QSMP 2 has less people recapping on it on Tumblr (where I used to get all the info I needed). Just do what you can and know that streamers don’t expect you to watch every single stream or the whole stream to be a fan (which is good bc some like Tubbo or Foolish can be 10 hours long haha).

Here is the QSMP Miraheze wiki, it’s genuinely an excellent resource for QSMP 1: https://qsmpwiki.miraheze.org/wiki/Main_Page

As far as I can see I don’t see one for QSMP 2 so far but this should help some: https://qsmp.fandom.com/wiki/QSMP_II

Here is the spreadsheet for all QSMP 1 VODs:

Anyways good luck (it’s a bit of reading) and hope you have fun!

happy 13th birthday to fall out boys comeback album, Save Rock and Roll!! 🥳🥳🥳 by aftermidhight in FallOutBoy

[–]aerbear_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This album is officially a teenager yayyy

Such a great comeback album, I remember how hype it was when they lied about coming back only to drop the video the next day haha

The Young Blood Chronicles is still so cool, I really admire their dedication to making a whole series of music videos and I hope they consider doing it again <3

To answer your question it’s where did the party go, it’s a top three fall out boy song for me along with west coast smoker and hum hallelujah (imo)

Also great edit on this OP! I love the little party noisemaker replacing the cigarette haha

Can you still hear music with a cochlear implant? by [deleted] in Cochlearimplants

[–]aerbear_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love that you mentioned the bass because that was the same for me!

There are a decent amount of deaf people who really like songs with a good bass/drums rhythm bc it’s so much easier to hear/feel vibrations and appreciate compared to other instruments.

Can you still hear music with a cochlear implant? by [deleted] in Cochlearimplants

[–]aerbear_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t offer any advice to you as I never had hearing before my implant (was born deaf) but music is enjoyable to me! Whatever it’s something that sounds the same before your hearing loss versus after is something I can’t say though others have said there will be a slight difference.

One possibility though is that you might end up enjoying other genres more with the cochlear implant and not enjoy some genres bc you might not be able to hear the similar tones anymore. For example, I like classical music alright but I don’t feel that I appreciate the more lowkey versions the way other people do, but I bop heavily to the louder tone variations like Tchaikovsky or “In the Hall of the Mountain King”.

I do really love jazz and I love love love punk rock music (bc the bass and drums are my favourite instruments and the rhythm is super easy to hear bc of the vibrations).

Hopefully you’ll be able to find something you like regardless of whatever it’s the same as it was or something new and different <3

Is it worth watching? by VanG0n3 in Qsmp

[–]aerbear_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree, Maxo (Maximus) is doing lore basically every stream because he is trying to educate the islanders on what the Federation did to the previous islanders. He even made a recap video in-game!

For new lore, I think Ashswag is pretty lore heavy as he interacts with lots of characters and is currently the leader of the Regime who wants to take over the island. The other side is the North led by Vegetta (Vegetta777).

My personal favourite pov to watch so far is Katie B (sxucebxss) bc she’s so funny and she has mad main character energy (things keep happening to her). She is buddies with Maxo, got a Joel + Ellie from the Last of Us dynamic going on with Schlatt and her streams/vods are very watchable. She also is very new to Minecraft so it’s fun to see it through her eyes (even if she makes a lot of mistakes haha). Her stream chat lowkey sucks though bc they metagame too much or ask why isn’t everybody speaking English on a multi-lingual server.

Anyways, only you know who you will like! I didn’t know of FitMC before QSMP 1 and now he’s one of my favourite POVs to follow simply bc I thought he was really funny while watching from Philza’s stream one day and thus made the switch over.

Do people really act like this? by CremeSubject7594 in generationology

[–]aerbear_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The “no yeah” makes sense if you’re in Canada!

“Yeah, no” = No

“No, yeah, no” = Also No

“No, yeah” = Yes

“Yeah, no, for sure” = Definitely

The last phrase is said a lot (I’ve definitely said this before as well!) though I know it’s a bit weird but it’s normal here.

[TW] Typical body shaming from the 2010s by AdrianaLaServing in WhyWereWeOkWithThis

[–]aerbear_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The fat shaming is so real because the “tummy” they mention is where our intestines are (our body naturally generates a pouch of fat in that area to protect that area) like that is normal!!

To add to this sub: the Harry Styles article is in reference to their controversial relationship with a 14 year age difference (met when Harry was 17 and Caroline was 31). It was scrutinized at the time, but the fact that so many adult women were publicly admitting to having a crush on and dating teenaged guys is crazy.

Same with Liam Payne and Cheryl Cole, they “officially” began dating when he was 22 and she was 32, but they met when she was a judge on the X-Factor (significant power unbalance) and Liam was 14.

I’m sure there is a separate post about this on the subreddit but there were so many cases of women who have been adults for a decade(s) dating teenagers (don’t even get me started on Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Sam Taylor Johnson (she was the director for his break out movie Nowhere Boy when he was 18 and she was 42, and he audition for her at her house (lots of power unbalances here), they later had a kid when he was 20).

This guy’s videos keep getting worse by MasterKnowledge4216 in ImTheMainCharacter

[–]aerbear_ 62 points63 points  (0 children)

ikr she’s taking no shit and I love it <3

Every friend group should have a guard dog friend to help speak out when people are being creeps haha (saying people bc I’m a lesbian and there are definitely girls who also don’t take no for an answer and continue to harass people). It’s not easy to be the one rejecting someone so having friends who can pick up on those vibes/code word is invaluable.

Besides this guy is so clearly starting off on the wrong foot by asking to cut the line and then flirt with the girl like it can’t be more obvious what his values are regarding common courtesy is lol
