essentials: she/her, person of color, in uni on my 2nd degree (help) ♡
mainly post stuff about my life! i try to keep my profile a happy, comfy & safe place. i also really like existing peacefully, so if you’re here to say things that will hurt people’s feelings or cause arguments, this is not the place for you :)
interests:
detroit: become human, skyrim: the elder scrolls v, minecraft, SCP, one direction, louis tomlinson, drawing, writing, donating blood, everything everywhere all at once, resident evil 2 & 4, valorant, heathers (both movie & musical), hitman
updated post because adblockers are helpful for reducing the content creator’s revenue too :) its okay to still like the content, but any way of reducing revenue might possibly help discourage the content creator from being a bad person, or at least not reward them for behaving like that
that moment when one of your favorite content creators is a content farm for a low-quality animation studio that doesnt respect creative commons and is shady overall :(
youtubers turning out to be sketchy is pretty common and happens to me a bunch, so heres some ways to keep enjoying their content while not supporting bad stuff 
stay subscribed if you really like them, but when a video comes out, watch it in incognito mode or in another account that isn’t subscribed to the channel, and use either a browser that automatically adblocks or have adblockers on - lowers their % of viewers subscribed and doesn’t contribute to their revenue
don’t interact with their videos if you are logged in (no likes, dislikes, comments, shares, etc.); interactions make the algorithm show the video to more people
if you openly support the creator, make sure to mention that you separate the content creator from the content (twitter wording also includes the phrases “critical of my favs” and “i separate ccs from content” which makes sense)
if you’re talking about the content creator themselves with someone, don’t bring up controversy abruptly or harshly - it could make the other person feel bad if they didn’t know, and just isn’t a very good mindset for someone who still wants to enjoy the creator’s content
when sibling climbs to get out of bed and purposely curbstomps you so hard you see stars and cry instead of waking you up to ask you to move

i love chronically lucid dreaming but i also hate it
getting to give a fictional character a hug is awesome but waking up tired every day cause my brain has been running all night is not fun
nighttime for me, but hello in all timezones to all the gays, theys, and the other wonderful and lovely people in this mortal coil :D no person left behind
havent left apt in 3 days cause parents dont want us to get covid
i just want to go to ikea :(
