The Humble "like" Is Oft Mocked Despite What It Does For Us. "like, Three People" Is A Vastly Different

the humble "like" is oft mocked despite what it does for us. "like, three people" is a vastly different statement from "three people". "and i was like 'what the fuck'" is vastly different from "and i said 'what the fuck'". i love you "like" and anyone who says you make people sound stupid will be killed on sight

Shows you should save physically immediately

Over the Garden Wall -- It's being pulled from HBO Max on August 31 and knowing HBO, there's a chance it'll be pulled sooner. *I have now made a Google Drive of all the episodes of OTGW. Please, please, please, PLEASE, save these on a physical device.

The Owl House -- Disney has tried to bury this show many times (giving it a weird release schedule, cutting the budget, etc) and has even cancelled the show. Also, Disney+ is going to nuke their catalogue soon and I doubt TOH will survive*I have now also saved all the episodes of TOH. Click here for the posts with all of the episodes

Amphibia -- I know less about the behind the scenes BS than TOH but Amphibia was screwed over by Disney mainly by poor promotion. Also since one of the protagonist is openly bisexual*, like TOH, I really can't imagine this would survive.*Amphibia has also been saved. Go here for the post with all the episodes.

Steven Universe -- Cartoon Network cancelled Steven Universe and gave it a weird release schedule, it has also just been pulled from HBO Max.

Gravity Falls -- Once again, Disney+ is going to nuke their catalogue at some point in the future and between Wendy being canonically bi, Sheriff Blubs and Deputy Durland being in a relationship, and Alex Hirsch (being the amazing man that he is) constantly calling Disney out on their BS, I imagine that Disney would be more than willing to nuke Gravity Falls. *I’ve also saved Gravity Falls now go to the main post here to see all the episodes.

and most importantly

Every single show, book, game, fanfiction, movie, etc you've ever loved

We now know that at any moment's notice, streaming services can and will just nuke their catalogue without hesitation. If it's digital, it can be removed and there's a likely chance you'll never see it again.

So, please take some time to save anything you love on an external device. It could be a box set (it can be official or fan-made one), a USB, or anything.

If you have a physical copy of something, it's yours forever and no one can take that away from you.

*Edit because I’ve seen some confusion about this. Read this again, it’s “one of the protagonists” not “the protagonist.” Sasha is the one who’s bi, Anne’s sexuality hasn’t been confirmed.

Also in addition to this, people have reblogged this to say Steven Universe is still on HBO. Since I don’t have HBO, I’ve been going off of what people have been saying and I’ve seen it mentioned that HBO was taking off SU. You should still save it though.

*Edit 2 if any of the links here don’t work, check the original post as I might’ve changed/updated them. If that still doesn’t work, send me an ask or DM I’ll give them to you.

ID: A tweet by Jonathan H. Gray is: "Thinking Too Much"@jongraywb.

“More and more you're going to see US media outlets paint the strikes as something absolutely horrible to everyone else. But what you have to remember is that outlets such as ABC are directly owned by Disney. They aren't reporting news. They're protecting their masters' interests.”

The original tweet is quoting a tweet by ABC7 Eyewitness, which says

“News - Strike by Hollywood actors, writers causing collateral damage to small businesses in SoCal”.

Jonathan H. Gray is: "Thinking Too Much">@jongraywb goes on

“This is the direct result of megacorps buying news outlets and providing you news with slants and bends that are 100% unreliable and based entirely on protecting billionaires and wealthy businessmen who's business it is to prey on the masses for exploitation. 1+1 equals 2. So next time you see the news paint any of the ongoing strikes as bad always ask "Who owns the stations/networks and who benefits?" Considering how many cookie jars Disney has their hands in (ABS, Fox) its a safe bet that you're gonna see this kind of "reporting" escalate wildly. He who controls the money and the power controls the narrative. Strike more, strike harder.”

Below are two vintage or vintage-style black on sepia cartoons, one showing Mickey Mouse picketing with a sign reading “Disney Unfair” and another showing Donald Duck striking pointing to the words “Do Not Patronise Disney Pictures”, with other writing too small to be legible beneath. Both characters look angry.

Happy ASAW 2024, here's something about community !
