Creators.

If you don't know who Thomas 'Tomska' Ridgewell is, well, he does the asdfmovies. And recently he tweeted about why he doesn't have and/or want a fandom. And I respect him a lot for this- he wants his audience to like his creations, and not him. Because in a fandom, most fans adore whatever a creator creates, as long as it's not offensive. But I have to say, doing such a brave act in the entertainment industry is really, really risky in my opinion. I feel like he's losing fans and people are starting to lose interest in the asdfmovies- with repetitions and the lack of content (referring to just the asdfmovies), he'll need to work a lot harder to make other content that's not 2-minute long asdfmovies.

He's made quite a few good ones, I really like the real life sketches that he films and not animates- maybe I'm just not interested in cartoons. Unless they're actually done well. Like adventure time. And gravity falls. Personally, I feel like it's not worth writing a good script and then wasting it on half-assed animations.

I probably have no clue what I'm talking about right now, and I may sound incredibly shallow and ignorant about the entertainment industry. But if I could learn more about it and see if I really do have a passion for it, I might just have another thing to be excited about. Because I've been interested, and I've tired reading up on the topic, except I'll never actually be sure of anything that I read online. Perhaps this is just all part of getting into a new passion, except I can't go around talking about it as if I'm highly experienced. And I'm reluctant to just go "Que sera sera" and leave it alone, because that is how dreams die. Or slowly wither and break apart.

Since I'm just admiring others' work for now, may I just mention David Walliams. I loved Little Britain, and I've never watched it but apparently he wrote the Ant and Dec show. I'm sure it went brilliantly, and he sounds absolutely amazing in Ant and Dec's autobiography. He's great in Britain's Got Talent, but I have no clue what he's trying to do with his children's story books. I haven't read any of them, I'll do so soon, but why..? I can kind of understand; I've always wanted to be a creator no matter the form, but I've always been a bit too lazy and the passion was too weak. And this is why I've started to build a career in business or something office-y, since the entertainment industry is such a risky and difficult thing to understand, much less make a living out of it. It sounds horrendously pathetic, but it's true. Especially if you're here in Singapore. Mediacorp needs to up its game. Goodness gracious.
