  • @PeppermintKamz
    @PeppermintKamz ปีที่แล้ว +1104

    So many people, especially a lot of people who dont read fanfiction, are always going on about how fanfiction as a whole is bad or cringey. Its really nice to see them appreaciating the work some people do, especially cause TMA has some fantastic fanfiction.

    • @JustCallMeEmily
      @JustCallMeEmily ปีที่แล้ว +40

      Exactly, not one book has made me cry (or even come close), yet Comfortably Numb by Becky Gregory did. Sure, most of that thanks is due to the source material, but she was able to take that preconcieved emotions and turned it up to 8.
      It is not "cringey" and it sure isn't "Bad", it's a form of writing that deserves respect.

      I like fanfiction a lot, and occasionally write it, though I don't read too much of it. It makes me sad to see people blanket hate a genre because it's not proffesional. Yes you get some bad writing on there, because the writers aren't proffesional, but you get some incredible writing too. And anyway it's not a problem to write terribly written things sometimes; that's how people get better

    re: fix-it fic, in specifically tma stuff I see the term used a lot where they don't mean they "fixed" the plot or the writing but instead to mean "fix" the bad things that happen in the story, like an "everyone's fine" au that they wouldn't necessarily want to be canon

      @ariannay766 ปีที่แล้ว +52

      yeah. i think a key part of sad or tragic story is that there's a part of you that wishes it turned out better. And even if you don't want that kinder universe to be cannon, because you love the way the bad ending is written, you want the kinder universe to exist. Alongside the sad cannon. which is where fanfic comes in

    • @emilyk38
      @emilyk38 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      Yeah, a lot of times what can make something so tragic is you can see the ways it might've not turned out as it did. Or it makes you wish you could make things better for the characters.

  • @birdamlasanat2556
    @birdamlasanat2556 ปีที่แล้ว +132

    My favorite moments from the video:
    15:39 The boys saying 'good cows' repeatably which made me laugh.
    19:46 *No no no, he unbuckled.*
    36:47 For Sale, Baby Shoes, Never Worn. Massive Baby.
    36:51 ALEX'S LAUGH OH MY GOD-
    43:37 *I wasn't giving a thumbs up to you Alex.*
    55:06 That was the moment Jonny knew that he fucked up.
    56:12 My milkshake brings all the boys to the yard.
    56:20 *Are you sure that's milkshake?*
    1:06:23 *BOOM* UUUGH. YOU'RE FEELINGS. AEEEGH.
    1:06:34 "How do those tears taste? Salty ı bet."
    1:24:18 *I heard e r o t i c a*
    1:26:06 This whole conversation is so fucking iconic man.
    1:27:45 Fluff *slash human*
    1:27:51 My boys having a stroke trying to say fluff, slash and humor.
    1:36:55 With explicit apologies...- *I apologize for nothing.*
    1:37:04 The accent just killed me- help-
    1:40:00 "Who are you..." "A kayak."
    1:42:20 *giggles* ı'm a healthy boy.
    1:47:45 *mmmm. it's smoldering.*
    1:59:48 Hi. I'm Jonny Sims. I'm here to tell you, don't build gods.
    2:09:14 It's the principle of the *sexy panopticon.* ... *sexnopticon.*
    2:10:52 "It's not about ghost number, it's about ghost inflation."
    2:14:14 The situation about ghost inflation is that they're Jonny's new band.
    2:23:26 I just love Alex's smile in this section.
    2:25:58 Is it about like... doing load of crack. Like meth fiction or cocaine fiction-
    2:26:10 *MARTIN. MARTIN WE NEED TO COOK MARTIN.*
    2:26:33 I really loved you, you know... *BITCH.*

    three months ago was on s1, and i think i finshed mag 200 two days ago, and I Dunno Why. ut i was expecting this to be an older thing they did soon after the finale. Tbh, im just not used to creators of content i like still being super active and doing side projects of said content with so much enjoyment and dedication. like honestly when i first got into tma (3 months back) i knew it was a Finished series, so i just expected everything to be super dormant. like a really quiet fandom.

    didn't expect the agnes/gertrude one but listening to it part of me wouldn't stop being like "yeah, this makes sense"
    we know that Agnes and Gertrude were connected, we know Gertrude had a penchant for using fire to solve problems, and we know that people tend to fall in love with Agnes. Sure, I don't think it should be canon, but this is not a "this should be canon" stream, this is a "this is good fanfic" stream.

    The reason that a hundred twenty billion ghosts doesn't hit for me goes back to the Ottery Saint Mary episode of Cabin Pressure. I don't think anyone *can* imagine that many ghosts- it ceases to mean anything. If you think you're imagining that many ghosts, you're wrong- your just imagining a lot of ghosts. The number can't mean anything.

On the way home I would phone my housemates before I went from a busy street to our quieter area. They would look out the window to watch for me and chat on the phone (good people). Everytime I left the apartment, I would hear, "Bye, stay safe", followed by a cheery "Don't get murdered!". 😂 Loved those guys ❤
