[hi @Octomatic1]

@LaMandamane @katelosten celeste ng did what?

[hi @Octomatic1]

@michirutft @lolusernames @nyaraVT ok fair enough, don't think that's anywhere close to a popular opinion or one held by the OP in this thread

[hi @Octomatic1]

@ASAPSnackWrap they are

[hi @Octomatic1]

@Lewchube tapus new regis and treasures of ruin i think

[hi @Octomatic1]

@AnneDornPhilly @ramit if you're rich enough to take a private jet you're rich enough not to have to go to the dmv or the grocery store or ride the bus

[hi @Octomatic1]

@lolusernames @nyaraVT @michirutft obviously it's not valid i don't think anyone is saying jax's reaction was like fair or okay

[hi @Octomatic1]

@soonrightaway hey

[hi @Octomatic1]

@credibletreat @Bluebird3415 @Liv_Agar it's also funny that i think christgau somehow missed all the valid criticisms of fantano and gave ones that i don't think hold up which i guess makes sense given that he's never watched his videos

[hi @Octomatic1]

@credibletreat @Bluebird3415 @Liv_Agar christgau for sure had a bigger impact on music criticism but i'd say it's debatable if he's had a bigger impact on music as a whole. i also don't know if i'd necessarily call him a contemporary of fantano's

[hi @Octomatic1]

@credibletreat @Bluebird3415 @Liv_Agar not that im rlly a fantano glazer or smth. he has a weird preoccupation rn w/ being like a figure in the music industry & he gotta log off twtr for a while. kinda proving the whole critics r just wannabe artists thing. i do think he has an important purpose in the music world tho

[hi @Octomatic1]

@credibletreat @Bluebird3415 @Liv_Agar thought too heavily abt this and then decided to just say everything i was thinking. go through all this blabbering if u want

[hi @Octomatic1]

@credibletreat @Bluebird3415 @Liv_Agar so you can call both of those somewhat direct influence from fantano. but i think a better example of his direct influence is on music criticism itself and the corresponding fallout

[hi @Octomatic1]

@credibletreat @Bluebird3415 @Liv_Agar fantano has introduced a lot of people to a lot of new music, and his reviews have been able to make the careers of many artists who went on to have their own influence in their genres. he was also a pretty big voice in 2010s poptimism, which then also had its own big impact

[hi @Octomatic1]

@barneymemejpg @inkfycreates @dormant000 lmao it doesn't have to laugh in your face to be malicious, it explicitly causes your wish to come about in the worst possible way. not sure what other interpretation you can take out of that other than it's cursed. the willow is also not a monkey's paw

[hi @Octomatic1]

@barneymemejpg @ShookDeep @inkfycreates yes it does has nobody read the story 😭

[hi @Octomatic1]

@barneymemejpg @inkfycreates @dormant000 i mean the original MP is a cursed item that's up to screw you I would say that's very much the point of the trope

[hi @Octomatic1]

@Le_Katto @theyhated_sweet @WanderingWizp toriel was a bad guardian in undertale too

[hi @Octomatic1]

@nig_ele @KawiRacer985 @GeorgieIsOk exactly

[hi @Octomatic1]

@PokerfaceCactus @BakemoKamille @GeorgieIsOk yea pretty much

can say you're a fan of the game's story but even that that's limited

[hi @Octomatic1]

@nig_ele @KawiRacer985 @GeorgieIsOk it's another form of enjoyment in the same way that watching a youtuber explain the plot of a movie is another form of enjoyment of the movie
