Well hello there strangers!
It’s literally 3:02am as I type this and I have Fiction class at 9am 😭
...annnddd I have a presentation...cool beans
I hadn’t been on here in so long, in fact my last post was about going to uni and how happy I was. I’m now in my 3rd year of uni, and I mean most of it has been a good experience but...we’re gonna make that a but with capital letters...BUT i miss college so damn much!
It’s not that I hate my subjects, I still love studying them but uni has been a lot of stress. There’s so much pressure put on you around Christmas because there’s so many deadlines. I’m thankful that I have no exams to worry about, as that’s certainly something from college I do not miss! I’ve just found it a lot to deal with, and especially this year when i’m gonna have 45 pages for script due, 5,000 words for fiction and 20 poems- not mentioning the debate and 3,000 word essay due on the media side! I guess this post is just gonna be a rant lmao, I haven’t even planned it out properly. I’d love to start blogging again, it’s been so long. I did start a new blog and only made one post which I don’t think i’ll be linking beacuse i want a fresh new one ( and besides I don’t think i’ll be posting on there again anyway). Literally none of this is gonna make sense to me in the morning lmao i’ll probably regret this post. But ayeeee i’m gonna quickly discuss some shit that has happened since I last posted!
1.) Anthony left smosh!
I honestly had not been watching smosh too much just before this, and it really does hurt to say that.
Even still!
For some reason I was so embarassed to say that because of all the people who would be like OMG FAKE FANN!!!11 etc. Plus I still have the usernames that I don’t feel I want to change. However, all of this doesn’t change the fact that Ian and Anthony are both incredible people and I love them both still very much! I’ll still support them, and still watch the occasional smosh video, but it will never be the same as what it once was.
I still cried when Anthony said he was leaving
I mean I still had the f e e l s
I still cry everytime i watch the video of Ian and Anthony together discussing it. Its sad but aye things change, and it’s usually always for the best!
2.) Melanie Martinez was accused of being a rapist
Honestly
Where does one even start on a topic like this?
I am t e r r i f i e d to talk about this anywhere because I hate fighting with people + arguments on twitter ain’t really what i’m all about.
So what is my opinion on this?
The truth is I honestly don’t know?
At first I was shocked like everyone else was...i cried scrolling through all the tweets about the situation. Rape is such a horrible thing to be accused of, and as much as I love Melanie, I needed to investigate a little before I could totally defend her. She may be a really talented person but that doesn’t mean she can’t be a shitty person, right?
I know there has been a lot of proof since and maybe people are leaning more towards Mel’s side? There’s some proof on Mel’s side that seems to make sense, and proof that seems like people are reaching a bit.
No i didn’t trash her merch, no i didn’t delete her music, no I didn’t unfollow her etc.
This is the first time i’m making any sort of post about her, cause I just didn’t wanna talk about it. But with Mel being basically my favourite artist I at least wanted to say something.
I’ve seen people calling timothy all sorts, including slut/whore. I don’t agree with anyone calling her that, we don’t put women down like that- well I hope we don’t at least. The amount of sex she has has absolutely nothing to do with if she lied or not. A woman can still be a horrible person and we have every right to call them out for it-fair enough. However, it’s NOT okay to put a woman down by calling her a slut or whore.
I’m waiting for maybe more details on the situation before I possibly say any more.
But just so you know
Piggyback (Mel) -Amazing song!
Sleep (Timothy)- Amazing song!
For now yes I still will be supporting Melanie- but I am also open to Timothy’s side of the story. From experience I know full well there is always two sides to one story, and I KNOW how frustrating it is for people to only hear one side.
And one last thing...
I’m not about anyone sending hate to Timothy.
I’m not about anyone sending hate to Mel.
Especially death threats...like wtf?
3.) Logan Paul did a thing!
Pretty fuckin obvious at this point what Logan Paul has done lmao, it’s everywhere you look on Youtube- even making appearances in my media politics lecture.
You wanna know what I think?
Well to make it as short as possible-
It was a fucking awful idea to post that video
HOWEVER
I don’t think he deserves having his youtube taken away. I’m glad he’s had some kind of punishment though.
I’m not a fan of Logan paul and I never even watched him to begin with. I think his fanbase are young teens anyway? I definitely don’t agree with some of the things he’s done, and I in no way AT ALL want to defend him- I just don’t think taking away his YouTube is the best idea...idk? Yeah he fucked up pretty bad, and its questionable if he should even be given another chance. I’d just like to hope he’d at least learned from the situation...maybe helped the victim’s family in some way? Maybe he should do something like that to show how TRULEY Sorry he is? Cause lets be honest, his apologies-especially the first- weren’t the best. But homestly, I never watched Logan in the first place so idk how much I can actually say on this?
4.) Shane Dawson got accused of being a pedo 🤔
I don’t even wanna get into this one, it’s just a waste of time cause Shane is
OBVIOUSLY NOT
a pedo. He’s one of the sweetest and most genuine YouTubers I watch- it was just some jokes, which obviously I don’t wanna defend cause they were a little...edgy lmao...that were taken WAYYYY out of context. Comedy is subjective- some people would be offended by those jokes, some people probably not so much. It doesn’t mean you can twist them and say he’s a pedo?
The reason it annoyed me so much is that people on twitter were discussing it- people who don’t even know who shane was before the accusation- calling him all sorts. I’ve been watching Shane for so long and i’ve been there through ALL the edgy humour lmao. I know what his style of comedy was and what it is today. He’s grown and changed as a person- like all of us do. I mean looking back on posts i made on this blog i’m cringing so hard lmao- i’m glad i’ not that same cringey person anymore. Well...i probably still am.
So there they are...my opinions on just some of the stuff thats happened recently, and i must say it does feel good to let them FREEEEEEEE lmao. I may add:change this post if I think of anything else i’ve missed, but for now- thats it!
Thank you for reading lmao
Much love,
Laura
