We are all just prisoners here of our own device
Lately, I have seen a lot of bitching and moaning on here about Luke and Nic and how "Nic did the bare minimum for Polin week" or how "Her social media sucks" or "They are not posting anything about S4" - the list goes on...
And unlike some other bloggers, I have absolutely no grace for this kind of people's behavior and entitlement - I am not here to coddle anyone. Matter of fact, let me hold your hand and hurt your feelings, when I am saying this: They don't owe us jackshit!
This isn't some "Choose your own adventure" game and they are not puppets in the Muppet show or some shit, these are people with real lives, responsibilities and bills to pay - and they can engage or not engage on social media as much or little and in whatever way they want. And if you end up finding yourself butthurt over how they chose to present themselves, because it doesn't meet YOUR expectations or they don't do what you want them to do, then go plant a lollipop garden or something to ground yourself and get a grip!
And for the love of God, stop claiming that "us fans made them who/as famous as they are" - you're profoundly overestimating the "fandom power" and making yourself look like a dumbass. Luke and Nic did that themselves! They're the ones who put in all the hard work to get where they are - and both have spoken about how they failed many times over before they got there as well. We wouldn't even know who they are and be their fans, if they didn't get where they're now through their own blood, sweat and tears. Yes, us fans nourish their popularity, but we didn't MAKE them who they are now (that's why they have agents and PR teams).
And lastly: Just a little reminder that nobody forces us to be here. If anyone is getting sick and tired or finds themselves dissatisfied or "not entertained enough" with the content Luke and Nic are providing, it is your choice to go do something else instead. None of us are chained up on this ship, we are all free to take a step back or leave, if we find that this isn't fun for us anymore. Trust, Nic and Luke certainly won't even know if you are gone...
