Hello.
Two weeks ago, James Phyrillas; the YouTuber behind the channel Schaffrillas Productions; his friend Chris Schaffer, and his brother Patrick Phyrillas, were all involved in a car crash in Leigh County. Chris and Patrick have since passed away, and James survived with serious injuries he is still recovering from. I bring this up for several important reasons. For one thing, I really enjoyed the content on his channels. His reviews and analysis are all very well done with the perfect blend of comedy and intelligent valid points. For another thing, I also enjoyed the old stuff they made together. Primarily their live action remakes of Spongebob Squarepants episodes. You can tell how much fun the three of them had together just by watching them, and it hurts to know that two of those fun loving people in those videos aren't with us anymore, while the third is wounded in both body and heart. I cannot even imagine facing such a horrible reality of losing your brother and one of your closest friends.
The last thing is that it was James' Movie Ranking Videos that directly inspired me to rank all of ravengal's stories in her PikaBun: One-shot Wonders collection. But when VGS2 the sexy sausage got mad at me for my negative reviews, I kinda lost the will to continue.
Actually, no, I got salty about having f-bombs in my review feed and decided to be a petulant child and just not finish it.
And now I'm ashamed of myself. When I think about the pain and tragedy James is still going through, it makes me realize how little right I have to get upset over things that don't matter. "Waah! Someone cursed at me! Waaaah! Where's my bottle!?" Seriously, how old am I? I pretty much ran away to FimFiction and Archive Of Our Own for a while. Pathetic.
The point is, I AM going to finish this ranking. I have only 10 stories left, so it would be a shame to not finish what I've started. I'm also going to dedicate this review to James, Patrick, and Chris. They've brought me much joy and inspired my content, so it's the very least I could do.
Also, thanks for reaching out to me ravengal, and sorry for not looking at it until today. And I hold no ill will towards VGS2. Who knows? Maybe I could do a re-review of the one-shots I didn't like in a manner more fair and constructive.
Anyway, that you for your time, and I hope you'll come back for the finale.
