Did anyone else catch Saagar (former GMM/Mythical employee) on the first episode of Ms. Marvel??
Can’t mistake that beard!

Also, the fact that I couldn’t bring my cameras because they’re DSLR/SLR (detachable lenses) because they don’t want people vlogging?
Ridiculous.
You can still do that on your phone.
It's terrible. Some of the biggest fans are here and in other fan spaces and I keep seeing posts from them about how they cant/won't be able to go to mythicon :( I keep thinking about them in particular missing out
You’re right - it’s disappointing to everyone who can’t afford it financially.
It’s more expensive than a year’s worth of tier three Mythical Society.
It just leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
What the fuck are these ticket prices for Mythicon? $300 (PLUS FEES!) for the cheapest? It really feels like a way to make even more money. Especially since they know MBs will pay for it. Come on.
Thanks for being such an awesome place for the fandom while we had you! You were one of the first rhink blogs I followed and this feels super bittersweet❤️
This is really sweet <3
I’m sure I’ll come back from time to time to chime in :)
So what fandoms are you into now that you’ve moved away from RsndL?:-) Could you ever see yourself deleting this blog?
I’ve not really joined anything new. I watch Julien on twitch sometimes I guess?
I also read a fair amount of manga/manhua/manhwa. And have gotten into KDramas (currently watching Nevertheless).
I won’t delete this blog, there’s still some of my old posts circulating, which is bonkers! At least not anytime soon.
Wait nevermind just read the tags on your last post lol.
😘
I hope you’re doing okay! It was nice to see you pop up on my dash today! 💗 TBH, I feel exactly the same way. I don’t remember when I last watched a full GMM or More either. I’ve been feeling this way for a long time now, but I’m still invested in the fanfics and the community, so I keep staying in hopes that RandL might get creative with GMM and find their love for it again, but I don’t know how much longer I’ll hold out either. The constant food content is just not for me and I miss how much fun it used to be. Sending you hugs! Hope all is well with you. (Anonymous)
A whole bunch of “samesies”.
<333
it's weird to come back here after essentially leaving the fandom
i'm glad they still bring you joy
(fic anon) Hope you're doing well<3 Congrats on your citizenship paperwork working out!!
Thanks babes! It's just a visa, not quite there yet ;)
<3
Hope you’re well, miss ya!
first time logging in after a while. I'm doing well :) Happy to be with my person and my animals!
YAAAAAY!!!! Congratulations!! 🎉🎉🎉
🥰🥰🥰
Ummmm, so I finally finished and submitted my spousal visa application. Long fucking time coming, but it’s done. I still have one loose end to tie up, but that can wait for tonight (or tomorrow).
Okay. Everything is finally submitted. I scanned all of my documents, got my biometrics done, paid lots of money, and now just have to wait. The clerk was impressed with my documents/organization, too, which makes me feel relieved in and of itself.
My hubby and I have been waiting for so long to get to this point. I’ve not been able to stop smiling since I got home. 🥰
Now, we’ve just got to wait a little bit more for the decision.
Its funny, I actually watch Mythical Kitchen more than GMM. Its food yeah, but its structured. And watching a man boil mountain dew into a terrifying blue-green syrup is more entertaining to me than watching two men just eat for 10 min. I love r&l but if they're gonna keep up with the food, maybe they should be more involved with the food. Like those dumb mall food court "hacks".
Yes! Have them actually make the thing, not just react to it!
I still find it weird though are they so dependent on the food videos to get by? I feel like such a big company wouldn't depend single-handedly on something so...unreliable I suppose
And they’ve fully invested in it too (Mythical Kitchen).
Unfortunately the numbers don't reflect people being unhappy or bored with GMM. Food episodes rake in the views and people eat it up (no pun intended lol). Their vlogs were very successful, but a lot of the non-eating related vids on the gmm channel just don't do as well. And i'd love to say that they shouldn't only care about the money side of it, but I think they want/need that consistent security while they work on other ideas-just wish we knew what that was so we could understand!
I totally get it. Because they’ve got so many people on their pay roll, they have to make enough to pay their employees. Like I mentioned before, they’ve kind of painted themselves into a corner.
What would happen if they did another “sketch-tober”? Silly 5 minute scripted (by them) videos! I just want some new type of content.
I'll be honest, I'm ridiculously easy to please and could watch them read a phone book and be happy. But I agree, I do think some transparency would be most helpful. Like, are they creatively stuck and burnt out? Are they just really limited as far as what they can do because of COVID? Are they planning other things? Just a little bit of something, y'know? Who knows, maybe things will be different/better over the summer or after the summer break. Time will tell, I guess!
And maybe all of the things they were working on just didn’t pan out. Obviously we won’t know unless they share with us.
Hopefully once everyone gets vaccinated, content will be more varied and exciting.
