“So you forgive them, just like that?”

i’ve never felt that it was a matter of forgiveness, more of if you accept to continue watching the content and creators even if you disagreed strongly with a business move and they way they presented it. if you can move past it. forgiveness would be more personal, and imply a relationship.. which isn’t the case. i think shane and ryan are great content creators, and i find their content very entertaining, they’ve taken accountability and changed the issues i had with the streamer. why wouldn’t i come back?

“they’re still money hungry, they revealed their true colors!”

they’re a business, and they have 25 employees that rely on them. of course they’re looking for profit, and expand the business. that’s what businesses do

Was reading comments on instagram. And the stark difference between the comments under Steven’s and Shane and Ryan’s posts is crazy. The way people are putting ALL the blame on Steven and babying Ryan and Shane is mindblowing. They might not be the CEOs but they are cofounders of the company. Ain’t no way they didn’t have ANY say in the matter and it’s 100% Steven’s decision.

“Is Steven holding you guys hostage?” “We will support you if you(Ryan) and Shane go off and do something of your own” “this isn’t you” etc

At the end of the day Shane and Ryan are strangers to us, what we see and know about them is what they want us to see. Get a grip and realise that, thanks.

#yeahhhhh all the people screaming eat the rich feel like they’ve lost the plot a bit #dumbass move and a bit of a slap to the face of their fans sure #but these are just three middle class guys trying to grow their small production company into something more sustainable #yelling eat the rich at them just shows a lack of understanding about the real problems and enemies #more than it shows a sustainable and coherent ideology #idk I don’t even go hear I’ve just been troubled by the lack of perspective in a lot of responses #still a dumb move they shouldn’t have made though #we’ll see tags: @lingering-there

no amount of friends at 25 will fill the empty seats at the lunch tables of your past / and all of my enemies started out friends / a friend to all is a friend to none / ‘cause my friends found friends who care / no one wanted to play with me as a little kid / i’m alone on my own and that’s all i know / you’re on your own kid you always have been

I am a nostalgic person. Through and through. The bittersweet taste of memories tinted by people long forgotten on the cobblestone pathways of my life pleases me more than living in the moment ever could. Maybe that is why I have difficulty in letting go of things. I still have my little friendship bands from 1st grade saved in a box, their ends fraying, all matted and tangled with each other, almost like the memories themselves. I don't particularly remember who gave me which piece of the ribbon, but I remember the love and care that went in buying the rolls of coloured ribbons together, measuring them out and cutting them to the lengths of our little wrists. We exchanged them like they were something much more precious than mere pieces of ribbon waiting to disintegrate into the lengths of threads that made them and, they were. They were precious enough to be stored in a box still, even when I haven't known the whereabouts of the people who bestowed them upon me in years. They are now just memories, covered by the rose-coloured filter of nostalgia. Maybe I hold on to such tchotchkes because of my incapacity to hold on to people. The friendship bands, the greeting cards, the wrapping papers, the chocolate wrappers, the little bayblades, the empty pen cases, the little rocks, the stone less ring, the dandiya sticks, the slam books, the diaries, the chits passed around in class, the "song book", the stupid photo frame and the weird hats, the receipts from all cafe visits, the tabs from cans and the labels from bottles, the photographs and the screenshots of chats I still can't seem to delete- laid out in multiple nooks and crannies of my life- exist to remind me of the relationships I couldn't preserve. Nostalgia rots all senses with it's cloying sweetness, suffocating oneself with thoughts that turn to 'these people left because I couldn't hold them tight enough, for long enough or with enough adoration and appreciation'. Maybe such is the folly of a person who lives with nostalgia. The hues of nostalgia blurs the pain of separation, masks the rationale behind why one had to remove oneself from someone or something they loved. All thats left behind is pink skies and a portrait of happiness. Why wouldn't it be addictive? To vie for something familiar, something beautiful, just devoid of all the hurt and the ugly! So yes I am a nostalgic person.

We're looking into issues causing site slowness and error pages. Very sorry, will let you know as soon as we know more!

(17:48 UTC March 28, 2024)

We had to restart a database, so the site will continue to be slow or non-responsive as it recovers. Please be gentle with the Archive, and stand by for further updates.

(17:58 UTC March 28, 2024)

Doing the gentlest possible thing to help out our database server: taking the Archive down for a bit. No need to panic, we'll be back as soon as we can!

(18:03 UTC March 28, 2024)

We're really sorry this happened just as everyone was getting to the good part. 😔 It might be another couple of hours until all the servers are back in business, so please continue not to panic, and thank you for your kind words so far!

(19:24 UTC March 28, 2024)

We're back for now, but still working on getting all servers back on track. There might be more downtime later, so download your current reading material if you can. Thank you so much for your patience!

(21:39 UTC March 28, 2024)

The servers that were straggling have got themselves back on track. Thanks again for your patience!
