A different kind of fan narrative. ^^
Despite the fact I’m an atheist, I think it’s refreshing that a pretty big online personality like Linkara isn’t afraid to say he’s religious.
(As an agnostic person, I agree.- Hatted)
See, in Diamanda’s ellipses, I picture her flailing around a bit searching for the correct response. And then she finds it. XD
Whats wrong with Lupa
I am not sure how long it has been going on but the amount of hate for Lupa makes no sense to me whatsoever.
I think a lot of the Lupa hate stems from her badgering Spoony when he went nuts. Spoony’s die-hard fans…. are a league of their own. They spread a lot of rumors about her… some of which I even fell prey to. I don’t blame her for how she reacted, nor do I think she did anything particularly wrong (as someone who has had to recently call someone out on their crazy behavior? I TOTALLY GET WHERE ALLISON WAS COMING FROM). A lot of people haven’t forgiven her for that … and then there’s also the the Bronies who are still butthurt about her refusing to review FiM. So she has two groups of notoriously bitchy and vengeful internet assholes that delight in trying to bring her down.
Lupa is fantastic. She is beyond fantastic — she is amazing. She is so bright that she literally lights up the room around her and I am forever grateful for her presence at Channel Awesome. Her reviews have brought smiles to some of my darkest days, and I can’t even begin to properly put in words how much that has meant to me.
Lupa, if you find yourself reading this, know that you are fucking GREAT. And I don’t even have to tell you to ignore the haters. Fuck those guys. They suck. You don’t.
End.
Remember that time Doug Walker lost his voice but still managed to write, record and edit a video despite his inability to speak?
And it’s one of his funniest reviews?

Linkara: Proof that being religious doesn’t mean you have to be a jerk.
(Seriously. Lewis is just THE NICEST GUY EVER.)
me too rob.
Can someone get on making a Rob Walker appreciation post? OR AM I GUNNA HAFTA DO IT!?!?
(Seriously though. I love Rob. )

So … the Critic is back??
This makes me very happy!
… Annnnd from what I can tell, some people are pissed about it.
What, you bitch when he leaves and then bitch when he comes back?? For shame! I was enjoying the new stuff Doug was working on, but I can understand the pull of one of your own creations …
Anyone who has devoted time and energy to creating/writing/playing a character knows that they never really … leave ya. Even when you put your pen down or you get up from the keyboard, they’re still there lingering in the back of your mind …
Welcome back, Critic. I look forward to enjoying much laughter in the future.

You’re welcome, internet.
That Guy With The Glasses Secrets: I can’t get the medicine for my depression due to the price. Finals...
I can’t get the medicine for my depression due to the price. Finals are here and I am worst in my class. My marriage will probably never happen. My drawing hand has carpal and I can’t create for long periods anymore. I want to end it tonight. I want to die and fuck this shitty world. The speech…
Dear “I’m an idiot unlike him”
… You’re not an idiot.
And even though things are fraying at the seams, that doesn’t mean the strings can’t ever be woven back together into something new and exciting.
Life is hard. And unfair. And cruel.
…But not everyone in it is. I can promise that.
Keep working at it, the light is at the end of the tunnel. And you might find that after awhile off your depression medication … you actually start to feel better. The first little while is a hell all of its own, but after that fog lifts … it doesn’t take quite so long or as much effort to get up after you’ve been knocked down. Withdrawals from antidepressants are comparable to heroin withdrawals — and that is NOT an exaggeration because the EXACT same brain chemicals are involved. It’s an awful place to be, but not one that lasts forever. Hang in there. I promise it gets better.
Keep trying.
Get to MAGFest.
It will be okay.
That Guy With The Glasses Secrets: I'll die when it's over.
My roomie made me make a cheer up list of things I can do if I’m suicidal again. One of the things I put was watching TGWTG shows I enjoy. How pathetic is that. I’m postponing dying just so I can see To Boldly Flee, or Linkara’s storyline or what great episode will Nostalgia Chick will do next….
There is nothing pathetic about this at all.
A big part of overcoming depression and suicidal ideation is managing to talk your brain out of it’s self-feeding spiral and latching on to something outside of that sphere.
Do the reviewers make you laugh?
Do they cheer you up?
Do they give you a reason to get out of bed?
Answering yes to any of those questions is not silly or even remotely pathetic. You, dear anon, have found something that shines just a little bit of light into a terrible darkness… and much more than that, you’ve discovered something that makes you happy. Something that can help remind you that even when you’re at the end of your rope… you can still be happy.
And while you may be just another geek on the internet, that doesn’t mean you don’t have value … or that you won’t ever achieve greatness. All those reviewers? They were just geeks on the internet at one time too.
Shiiiit, they still kinda are!
I just have to say…
With the departure of the Nostalgia Critic from the TGWTG line-up, I’ve been waiting for something to fill the void.
Enter ‘Sibling Rivalry’ …
THE VOID IS NO MORE!!!
I always loved hearing Rob talk about movies in commentaries, it’s fucking awesome that he’s finally getting in front of a camera to do so.
Doug and Rob are Best Brothers.
SRSLY.
