You may remember: weeks ago, my mom and I were on our way to an audition when the car in front of us full on crashed into the barricade on the highway
As a kid, I was also in an accident, but since that incident I’ve been more reluctant about the car. But tonight, particularly-
Arnold was supposed to have Harvey’s for the first time, so he decided to go with my mom to the drive through. I really didn’t want him to go, and I didn’t want to go. My mom egged me on but I said: “that’s unnecessary risk, being in a car is dangerous” (cause of: previous tweet)
I try to press Arnold not to go, because I have a worse bad feeling™️ compared to anxiety. Like the feelings you have in the middle of your chest when you just feel like something is wrong to do
A car hit them from behind over an hour ago (they’re not hurt, but they’re not home)
So I’ve just been sitting here for over an hour terrified shitless like, “I just want to hug the shit out of Arnold when he gets back” and also “all of my worse fears have been combined (car, loved ones, someone else on the road causing the accident) all in one sitting”
Anyway this tweet was brought to you by: the trauma that my therapist will be unpacking for the next 10 years
Trust your instincts, or get a big truck. Like the silver lining, other than no one getting hurt, is that our car barely has a dent. The car that hit THEM is totalled

There are a lot of people rallying behind this idea that “Rooster Teeth is censoring critics” because of UoW’s latest video getting blocked - but I feel like it’s incredibly irresponsible to just let that fester among the audience when there are other, rational explanations-
The only time I have had major copyright issues was when the Japanese dub released for 1-3. That’s why people have a hard time reacting to those volumes now in ENGLISH.
& what has come out recently? The Japanese dub of 5-7. Image & sound isn’t always linked in the ID system.
Even though it says RT LLC, & I acknowledge it’s possible someone at RT is dropping the ball - knowing how Japanese anime companies feel about footage, the more likely explanation is Warner Japan is claiming the video on RT’s behalf, & anime companies don’t care about fair use.
You know what YouTube should consider implementing?
When you join Twitch Chat, the creator has a short list of rules you have to agree to. A rule list above the comment section sounds like a nice idea. Obviously malicious people won’t care, but that’s the same with Twitch too
Some creators allow swear words, some don’t. I personally have rules in my head that must not be common other places because sometimes I’m like 🤨. Sometimes people will post something expecting me to be affirming in response & I’m like... dude what that’s an asshole thing to say
I feel like YouTube doesn't encourage the same community-based engagement with other people in the comment section. There's no way to lightly moderate. It's just 'ban hammer'. I wish I could send a moderator message like "Hey, I appreciate you commenting but please don't post x!"
Hey everyone, please read this update that we posted (I wrote) about the GoFundMe. Arnold and I have contacted GoFundMe, and they should start the Refund process soon, so everyone that donated can get their donations back.
No good deed goes unpunished as they say.
Final note: Within our communications we highly encouraged the company to make an official statement about what is in place to help their employees
There may be an internal relief plan! I’m not saying there isn’t. But given the history of the company, no one trusts them. Period
Considering the past allegations, about people not getting paid for the time they DID work (like overtime), people won't inherently believe the company would help people's "off-time problems" despite their homes being their workplace.🙃 That's just why I think a post is necessary
I joke, because I can’t find a single photo of me with a full teeth smile as a kid... even when we’re at DISNEY WORLD. Clearly given my love for Disney y’all know I was always happy there XD I think I was just a shy or self conscious. But in the photos I look very forlorn sksksk
You can dislike a ship (this is about Ruby x Oscar), but the way to handle your feelings is YOU avoiding that content. Not saying “everyone who ships it is a P*do”. Apparently it isn’t even about Ozpin here, it’s the 3-3 1/2 year age gap between 2 characters who are still minors
We’ve been “Team Nuts & Dolts”, but this is ridiculous. This is empty & performative fandom activism, by people who want to feel a sense of moral high ground (“I’m not like THOSE gross RG Shippers”) because that is their only personality trait & they all feed each other attention
It’s really transparent how this is just a tactic to undermine a “rival ship” when seldom do those same people have the same strict morals for Ruby x Weiss, Jaune x Ruby, where Ruby was a minor (16-17) & they were 18-19. To be crystal clear I don’t see an issue with those ships-
