Sarah Z

Lets be lucky we didn't get Tumblr new semester

the ball pit meme tho

Sarah Z came up in my feed somehow and I caught this vid. I already watched Internet Historian's take on it (which she mentioned in the vid), but this was way more in-depth.

And yeah, it was kind of creepy and gross that two of the con's organizers were in their thirties and bullied the third one who was nineteen.

She also brought up how the overall opinion of Tumblr seemed to shift after Dashcon. While there were certainly other factors at play, Dashcon seems to have been an Innocence Lost event. As she puts it, "just because someone shares your interests, doesn't mean they have your best interests at heart."

Not to jump topic because Dashcon is FASCINATING (one of my good friends has always told me stories of it since she was there and apparently won the Murder Mystery party or something?), but Sarah tweeted that the author of My Immortal emailed her and it's not even a click bait.

Speaking of , there's now a video on the My Immortal author.

The first line is "Msscribe but more Christian", so this will be interesting.

Ok, I am not finished yet but this is fucking wild.

Sweet Jesus, Prayer Warriors is a name I haven't heard in a long-ass time.

I mean it was someone claiming to be the author of My Immortal not the author of My Immortal. But it is it's own weird rabbit hole.

I can't trust anyone any more. Are you Toby? Am I Toby? Are we all Toby?

Well, that was wild

At the time this originally happened it wasn't quite as strange—Alts were easy to make and not frowned on to nearly the same extent they are now. Though the sheer scale of this and the tendency towards self-abuse would be rare and I genuinely can't recall hearing about that sort of self-sabotage before

The fact that it directly involved our own TV Tropes forum is really wild.

He's Toby, you're Toby, I'M TOBY! Are there any other Toby's that I'm not aware of?

> The fact that it directly involved our own TV Tropes forum is really wild.

well,the discussion pages to be precise

x3 ...But I'm not a dog...?

Oh, shit, but I am a dog(ish, canine) Am I Toby?!!

At the end of the day, the most concrete relation to the fic is him possibly being the one to hack the accout and delete it, which would be big if true. But, regardless, the sheer absurdity of the story is interesting regardless.

One thing I thought it was missing from the video, though, is how Red Bard knew in the first place that Toby was full of shit. I guess I should go check her video for that.

PS:Also, a lot more unfortunate, but it seems despite now wanting to Dox him, Sarah Z did leave enough information to find at least his twitter account rather easily. If I am right, enough people found it to prompt him to delete it. Haven't gone to the trouble to see if I could find the Facebook profile also but, regardless, Sarah Z did dox the guy, unfortunatelly.

Yeah I found his twitter rather easily given the hints in the video, it wasn't that hard.

Oh that does seem like a problem. People can go off surprisingly little, and sometimes go off their worst instincts if they do find it.

We now turn our attention from late 2000's weird nerd fandom shenanigans to early 2010's weird nerd fandom shenanigans, with a Johnlock video.

cannot believe that supernatural fucking managed a comeback

It would figure that for Supernatural's last season they'd take the queer baiting to its logical end.

Speaking of which, here's a feature-length follow-up to that tiny video.

Everyone Is Into Twilight Again

The Star Wars prequel comparison to the "twilight renaissance" is both very interesting and very on-point.

Kristin Stewart was done dirty. I'm glad she's more well liked now.
