Did you all enjoy Aces, Assemble?! I was going to do a follow-up video, but I had loads of chores to do when I got back from my holiday and then I fell ill, so fun! 😅

A collab no less, with AceTuber royalty! 😆

:) I hope you don't take the lack of responses, personally. Perhaps, like me, others haven't been able to keep up with all of your videos, due to being busy.

 

I was trying to wait until I'd seen your current videos, before commenting.

@Slice of Ace I thought you executed it very well! A follow-up from you would still be a good idea, especially if you wanted to share some of your insights (commonalities, differences, ideas for further videos/research, etc).

That was a good video, sharing similarities between homoromantic and heteroromantic aces! Thanks, to both of you for sharing your personal thoughts and experiences.

 

Oh, that question about tax breaks between married couples compared to singles--I've definitely read about that in the news, on peoples' blogs, etc.

 

I wonder whether the divide is wider in the U.S. than in other countries like Europe because I've heard that European countries give their citizens more social benefits/help than in the U.S.

In fairness, you established a separate thread for Aces, Assemble, and I commented there. But I liked it and think it could be a great AAW tradition in the future. I really liked how you had a diverse group of aces with different backgrounds and romantic orientations.

Sorry, I wasn't offended. That was just a joke, but perhaps an innappropriate one. I don't expect anyone to watch any, or all of my videos because I know how busy life can be. Sorry if that came across as passive aggressive 😕

Sorry. I missed it because I apparently forgot to follow the thread.

Yeah, it's really something I need to look into properly and maybe address in a future video

Oh, okay. I just thought, perhaps, you were a bit disappointed by the lack of responses.

Yeah! I totally recommend it, as there are probably single people--whether LGBT+ or not--who might not be aware of the financial differences over a lifetime, between single people versus married couples. (I have a relative, who, despite also being single, has said he doesn't care about the fact that married couples are given more tax breaks, discounts, etc. than single people.)

 

Here's an example news article about the U.S., comparing an unmarried gay couple to a married couple (along with info about single people).

Ugh, that's terrible. I wonder if the same is true for the UK or other countries.

Sorry, guys. Videos are going to be fortnightly for the time being. Here's a video explaining why. Hope you don't mind 😊

That's okay with me (about your videos being fortnightly, instead of weekly).

 

:) That's good that you want to make your videos more accessible for people who are hard of hearing or who's first language isn't English.

You jest, but that is literally the majority of the developed world with the internet and cell phones.

Here be the conclusion to my online dating series, which lasted all of two episodes because I got one of those new-fangled boyfriends that are all the rage 😂

Damn, I forgot to tell you guys that my boyfriend put those subtitles in that video the next day 'cos he's amazing 😅

 

In other news, I'm doing a livestream this week to take pressure off having to make two videos in essentially a week due to a busy schedule and Christmas.

Thursday at 20:00 GMT if you are interested:

@LeChat, I finally got around to watching Good Omens! I'm not sure how much I liked the series as a whole, but the main character's relationship is certainly interesting.

 

Now, for the next video, I can either do:

- Good Omens chat

- Some ramblings about the difference between "want" and "enjoy"

- Are LDRs easier for aces?

 

Any takers?

I love all those ideas - but Good Omens first please!

A) I want (and will enjoy) to hear your thoughts and B) Best to review stuff while it's fresh in your mind.

Oh, you watched it! Wow.


It was interesting to hear your thoughts about it. 

 

(Spoilers for the show, for those who might not have seen it, yet.)

I don't know whether or not you also picked up on this, but another thing that fans noticed is that during some of Aziraphale's and Crowley's scenes, together, certain Queen songs are playing/were chosen to be played in the background, which some feel is meant to be an emotional clue into how they feel about each other.

 

https://screenrant.com/good-omens-queen-songs/

Quote

...Episode 5 opens with Crowley racing through the streets of London to "You're My Best Friend," as he tries to reach the book shop run by his best friend, the angel Aziraphale. When Crowley discovers the shop is on fire and concludes that someone has killed Aziraphale, he emerges from the flames to Queen's gospel-inspired hit "Somebody To Love," having finally come to grips with his feelings for the angel...

 

The other thing that I found very interesting was that, in the scene outside Aziraphale's bookshop (where Crowley is upset that he won't leave Earth with him and shouts that he, "...won't even think about [him] when he's up in the stars...," a male passerby character who overhears their exchange says to Aziraphale, "I've been there. You're better off without him."

 

It obviously sounded like subtext to me, where the passerby was implying that he, too, had been rejected by a partner, in the past (and reminded me of when some gay people talk about "gaydar," recognizing others who are gay, like themselves).

 

I've only just found this: apparently, two people mentioned in the comment section of this Aziraphale and Crowley fan video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0_wqQlTrkFU) that, in the French and Brazilian dub versions of the show, Crowley doesn't call Aziraphale just "Angel," like in the English version, but "my Angel."

Ahh, I didn't think about the music at all! Especially because it's Queen. I'm not a fan 😂 But yeah, that does make sense!

 

Hmm, I can't remember, did I mention people mistaking them for a couple in the video? I wrote it in my notes, so whoopsie if I didn't 😅 But yeah, you're absolutely right. 

 

That's interesting, but I wonder if that's a translation thing. Does it have the same connations in those languages, I wonder? Certainly, "mon ange" sounds romantic and I am guilty of calling my ex that exact thing 😂 But I wonder whether you should consider dubs as evidence for or against. It's yet another person or group of people's interpretation of the work.

I adore the book. I've always seen them as being in a QPP, even before I knew that was a thing.

Bonus video! My extended thoughts on the ace representation in Sex Education. I somehow got this done from recording to release in one evening 😂
