book on the way, I reckon? (good thing she retracted her comments about youtuber books … right? right?There's an exciting announcement next week. You know when every YouTuber makes a video going, "oh my god, an exciting announcement", it's one of them videos. So you've probably already guessed what it is by now.

Yes. She does this, doesn't she? Shits on something others are doing or liking until she gets the opportunity to do it herself or starts liking it too. Then it's suddenly the best thing.captainspacecoat wrote:I know she says she's changed her mind about youtubers writing books, but it seems pretty convenient that she changed her mind in September, right when she was approached to write the book.
And even more convenient that a publishing house out of blue offered her a book deal in September for the book she started writing in June.captainspacecoat wrote: I know she says she's changed her mind about youtubers writing books, but it seems pretty convenient that she changed her mind in September, right when she was approached to write the book.
We can't know for sure but I think this is probably true. Nothing cynical about it, it just makes way more sense than her story. I get why she wouldn't admit to this though, it would make her look bad. I'm kind of looking forward to the book and how it's going to be received. I also think it makes sense why she started Vloggery and started making advice videos though. Gotta build up that brand, right?pearshaped34 wrote:A cynic would think that just maybe that whole story about the publishing house (who watch all her videos but don't follow her on twitter or they'd have known about her view change months earlier) contacting her after the video was put out was a lie and she really only made that video because she'd signed a book deal months previous and needed to publicly back-peddle on her previous statements in preparation for it's release.
It's lucky were not cynical people around here though and can just appreciate that this series of events has all just been one big lucky coinkydink.
I don't know how much of this is due to her mentall illness but I agree. Half a year ago she was all about her music and kept promising to concentrate on that, now she's writing a book and hasn't talked about her music for a long time if I didn't miss anything. It's like she thinks people won't remember all the things she wanted to do and then never did? How many projects has she started and left behind now?dans left hand wrote:she cant make up her mind on who she is. at the moment she's an author.
And even if we give her the benefit of the doubt and choose to believe she is telling the truth about the publishing deal coming after the September video her motives for that video still look suspect because even if she didn't have a publisher yet she clearly still had intentions to publish her own book in the future because she was already writing the bloody thing.Birdie wrote:We can't know for sure but I think this is probably true.

From what I gather, Liam, one of the organisers of summer in the city is bracing himself of the thought that after the whole line up of summer in the city is announced, there will be a lot of dissapointed phandom members tweeting them (or him because last year he was the one who handle the social media accounts) about deppy attendance. And having a laugh at the situation, in a way that he is probably frustrated at it, I think.Birdie wrote:Help me out here, what exactly are they making fun of? I think I get it but I'm not sure.
What I really don't get is why Emma can't just ignore tweets like this (or just silently like them if she agrees). She said she was sorry and didn't want to go back to her old behaviour and whilst this tweet is of course super harmless she could have just ignored it. It can't be too hard to leave stuff mentioning deppy alone to be on the safe side.
If you look at the replies to announcements from SITC's twitter before this tweet, people were going 'who?' etc to them and some were people with D&P avatars. But there were also Dodie avatars and other random people avatars. One person in particular (with D&P) was pretty rude, in which case how about call that particular person out specifically, rather than going for the twitter phandom as a whole, Liam. So ok, call out shitty people, great. Pretty much insinuating it's exclusively anybody with a D&P pic being tiresome is a dick move. ESPECIALLY by the hack behind we the goddamn unicorns, the most useless and embarrassing typo-laden excuse for a website around. They don't mind the annoying Phandom's clicks and... overenthusiasm... when it's bringing them traffic to the site for their shitty fucking quizzes-- just about everything they post panders to D&P fans and is meant to get their clicks and attention. So to then go to his personal account to eyeroll over that same fucking enthusiasm is just slimy. You can't put out food for the stray cat one day and then kick it the next, fuckstick.swofro wrote:From what I gather, Liam, one of the organisers of summer in the city is bracing himself of the thought that after the whole line up of summer in the city is announced, there will be a lot of dissapointed phandom members tweeting them (or him because last year he was the one who handle the social media accounts) about deppy attendance.

Yeah the second she announced the book, her 'apology' for the whole Evan thing suddenly made sense. Probably realized (or was informed) it wasn't great PR to call a fellow creator a fucking socipath right before launching some bullshit self-help book. Good luck ever reining in this mess of a human. Great choice, publishers.Ticia wrote:I can see that Emma is trying very hard to apply all those marketing skills her manager must've told her about. Le sigh.

Getting along with someone doesn't require you to be friends, it might be just that they are friendly and cordial to one another.fancybum wrote:"making me out to be something I'm not"

Is exchanging social niceties with someone the same thing as getting along well with them? I'm cordial to everyone I'm ever forced to interact with (particularly if they're work related people) but I would not by any stretch of the imagination say I get along well with all these people.sentinel wrote:Getting along with someone doesn't require you to be friends, it might be just that they are friendly and cordial to one another.fancybum wrote:"making me out to be something I'm not"
