🐟 Fishtank Fishtank.Live General - Jet Neptune's Pisces Aquarium Internet Reality Show w/ Host Bam Margera

[Sicko Hunter]

Wonder how long the fish tank "hype" will live on for the contestants. I don't have the parasocial relationship to find any of Josie's or Vance's streams entertaining and as far as I know Letty has pretty much just been shitposting on twitter and I was expecting a bit more out of her since she seemed to be the one most "prepared" for that type of content.

I'm not just saying this because I like Letty but she's the only one halfway decent at streaming. Both Vance and Josie have a serious problem with long stretches of dead air. Neither comes off as confident in their ability to entertain their audience. Letty is able to keep a conversation going the entire time. She's good at interacting with the chat.

Probably because she's spent so much of her time being in discord calls daily. Discord users win again. Though seriously she probably took a lot of mental notes when they streamed with Sam & Jet, especially with the "$5 chat read" on the top left lol.

 

[ChumChumbler]

Josie is doing a stream. She tried to play Slime Rancher, but her PC shit itself. She was asking chat about parts for a bit (might have ordered some?), and is now playing some shovelware animal Olympics game. It's decently entertaining. I haven't watched much solo fish content yet, she's pretty decent at reacting to content, on and off at chat interaction.

 

[Punitive Castration]

Jon's on IG talking about how "dealing with bullshit 24/7" makes him stressed and he needs to be in nature to decompress. He said he's currently stranded because his ebike died.
He found some rusted pieces of shit cars in the woods and a "crackhead house" RV with boxes of food.

Quote Jon: "Wow! Crackhead stuff!"

Some viewers tried to convince him that Vance wants to start shit (iirc he hasnt said anything about Jon) and Jon said something very passive aggressive about "I guess he needs the views."

Tyson/Lance did an interview

Spoiler: Interesting tidbits

-Tyson is a delivery driver just like Vance. He can decide when he works, he gets called up and asked if he can work, so he was able to just go to America with no work problems
-When Vance spoke to him when he was trying to sleep, he then mimicked that and Vance did it again but Ty was piss drunk by then so he couldn't mimic it again
-He regrets having left initially, should've looked at Twitter before leaving. Immediately regretted it upon seeing all that was posted there.
-He dropped character and got really real and genuine with Vance and Letty the day before leaving to see if it would have an effect and it did
-When throwing shit into the basement, he put Vance's drum set in a blanket and made sure to throw it down lightly. It ended up gaining momentum lmao
-They're laughing at Damiel being a bitch. When his tard rage began, Ty had forgotten that he threw Damiels shoes out so he was confused why Damiel was sperging out at Letty about them

-When Damiel and Letty were locking in B2 and he was chimping out, Ty was ready to unlock the door from the outside and put himself in front of her, he was worried for her, didn't know if that was an act.
-He thought she would've left after the portapotty shit because of the face she made upon recovering her makeup from there. This was that turning point for him where after he no longer gave a fuck
-Says Josie was on the brink of tears with her plushies thrown down into the basement
-Damiel gave Letty 2 fishbucks before leaving
-Can't really commentate on the smell of the house because he worked at a slaughterhouse for 8 years. It got really musky during the piece of shit challenge
-Worst smell was the food fight between him and Frank, fridge was full of expired food
-When he first made a sandwich he smelled it, and put it back in the fridge because the turkey meat smelled so bad
-He wanted to fuck with Jon by having an 'evil' bit where touching the Bible would hurt him

-He would like to return for Season 2, would love to be a shark, being a contestant would be too much for him
-Biggest advice to people trying to make careers is to put their face out there
-Curious how Betty got on since she didn't put herself out there online like he did
-Prepared himself for Fishtank by recording a Vance monologue, plans to never put it out because of how cringe it was.
-Put on a Damiel shirt after the food fight because his shirt got fucked up, it was too small and he was bulged. Asked Tax to get him a new one, didn't get it.
-Made fan merch but it's not about the money but about making something and seeing people wear it
-Thought he would try getting Letty off the show before coming on, thought she was a plant when he first interacted with her. Says she made the show, played her part really well

-Knew he would only do 1 shoey after the TTS's started coming in about that so he went big with Fatty's shoe. Before this, Fatty apparently put his balls in it, it was so bad that it came back up, couldn't down it, had to wash his mouth out afterwards
-When he returned after Frank left, he was ready to come in full Lancepill but everyone were zombies
-After returning home, he woke up in the middle of the night thinking he heard a TTS sfx, was left trying to sleep covered in sweat feeling like he had cameras on him even though he didn't feel this on Fishtank, PTSD lasted for 3 days
-Was told to play into his Australian accent and be as Australian as possible
-Feet got really dirty there, he would purposefully point them at others when laying down on the couch
-Thinks that if Sylvia got treated like Letty, there would've been a big reaction
-After Damiel left he toned it back a little bit because he didn't want to eliminate another person

-When Vance spoke to him when he was trying to sleep, he then mimicked that and Vance did it again but Ty was piss drunk by then so he couldn't mimic it again

I think you got that bit wrong, he wasn't drunk he was just extremely jetlagged and tired.
Tbh that was the main rough thing about him being on the show, he was jetlagged when he was first in the tank and then when he came back all the fish hadn't slept. iirc Tyson was still jetlagged on the second day he was there, he went to bed just after Damiel left and didn't wake up again until Chip came in hours later.
I think it came up here and there but the freeloaders maybe should be in the house for longer at a stretch. Alex Stein had the same issue - his schedule was too normal so he was puttering around at 9 AM looking like a dad in a house of teenagers.

-When Damiel and Letty were locking in B2 and he was chimping out, Ty was ready to unlock the door from the outside and put himself in front of her, he was worried for her, didn't know if that was an act.

The next day, I'm pretty sure Vance brought up being bummed that Damiel left, or some other setup happened like that, and he and asked Tyson what he thought of Damiel. And Tyson was like "Cunt. He's a cunt. You don't yell at women like that." And Vance said some fucking sorry half-ass thing about "I knew him for longer" even though he had literally only known Damiel for like two more weeks than Tyson had and Tyson had watched Damiel on stream for at least a week of it.

I went into watching Fishtank expecting basically no chivalry at all, or even moreso just nobody actively defending each other at all because the premise of the show is so self-interested. And watching live I remember reading Tyson's actions differently, like he was just holding the door because he didn't want Damiel to know that the shoes weren't upstairs or something. So it's interesting to see like for a fleeting moment there was someone standing up for someone else. Plus, my usual headass narrative-writing: Lance was ready to physically defend Letty against Damiel and held the door shut for her, Vance removed Letty's door and then ran away when Chris was chasing and spitting on her.

>see nick, sam, charls, and erik titled stream
>its actually jet, ben, EMPERORLEMON, and chris stuttering out superchats
Holy fuck, emp needs to stop inserting himself into mde adjacent stuff through jet. It is bad enough that chris is borderline illiterate. Emp can make a great video, but nobody cares for the man behind the channel. He's only funny with a script and livestreams show how stiff he is in person. If he wants to work with sam he should stay behind the camera where he won't be sitting awkwardly next to sam.

Spoiler

Ben is funny

"my feet hurt. where is everyone from fishtank? Is sam on drugs? Does charls know I have more subscribers than him? This is such a downward spiral of a fiesta"

I don't think he has said a word in the last forty minutes.

Can you imagine how bad Fishtank would've been if Betty was in Letty's place?

Well it would have been hard to find someone to root for, but Betty would have absolutely lost her shit when things happened to her, so it could have been hilarious.

More Betty drama, anyone have the discord scoop on this?

Outside of that whiteboard thing I posted from there, she's been paranoid that Jet and Sam are going to try and claim her paltry earnings from streaming.

I've been trying and trying to figure out an explanation for her other than "BPD" (because even people with BPD have motives) and I feel like it's just literally that she has BPD, and she is retarded. She's like a racoon that blundered into your house while the door was open and you keep trying to guide it to the door and it keeps bolting further into the house.

Literally the only thing that would prompt the MDE crew to contact Betty again is if she starts to claim that the crew knew and deliberately set her up to sign her contracts when she was incapable due to intoxication. Or if she claims that they assaulted her in any way. In the process of screaming "LEAVE ME ALONE" she is throwing herself on them.


Anyway: regarding the Lance & Letty stream... it was kinda bad.
I think the plan was for him to follow her lead, and sort of let her figure her shit out and what she wants to do with the stream, but the end result was really rough.

They talked for about 40 minutes but retards kept sending her YouTube links of shit to look at and she kept looking the stuff up and breaking the flow of conversation, and not listening to Tyson because of all the dumb bells and whistles on her computer. Her retarded mods were spamming her with stupid superchats and the tech problems with fall guys kept it from being a quick Bit and more like a grueling marathon, and yeah.

I'm MATI, lol. It was great for the first 20 minutes, At one point he started offloading his thing he'd said about her on other videos but hadn't told her before, about her winning him over and all that, and she fuckin
interrupted him
cuz something distracted her

At one point Tyson went dad-mode and pressured her a little to hurry up with merch and to recognize that she will never have as much momentum in the future as she has now, but it seemed to go entirely over her head as she started talking about how she could have a friend who has a screen printing machine make merch or maybe make a short film in the future, and not properly getting that Tyson was saying she has to figure out and do now what she can do now.

Tyson also said he has a stream planned for Friday where he's gonna hang himself, so we all have that to look forward to, I guess.


Anyway, final thing, Vance had a gig last night. I still think it's sort of shocking the amount of times he said in the tank that he's a singer and yet like, literally only sang once maybe, and kept saying he needed his backing tracks or he couldn't do it. It was one of those arcs I was wondering if there would be closure on but nope, at every opportunity (Simmons karaoke, being asked to, the High School Musical) he chickened out or didn't really sing.
Like he's clearly got a range that's three notes wide but still.

Betty at it again for round 2:

WHAT-THE-FUCK-ARE-YOU-TALKING-ABOUT?!

"Did they dox the families of the actual fish? Or even dox them? And that's beside the point"
BRUH

WHAT THREAD AM IN

Betty was instructed to troll Letty and make her uncomfortable, not to work herself into a shoot.

 

[Prostolurk]

Betty is one of the biggest lolcows to come out of Fishtank as a whole. Such a cunty dumb whore. I get the feeling that she's jealous of Letty and that's why she's sperging out.

 

[56 others]

I dont think anything good will come to the fish long term. Not that I think their lives are ruined, but I dont think any of the fame or clout will hold up for a long time. Even Josie has been saying some unbased things. They'll all return to their normal lives sooner rather than later.

 

[Punitive Castration]

Stream summary:
For his birthday, Tyson picked out a bunch of old Internet Challenges (five finger filet, cinnamon challenge etc) and accepted donations in exchange for waxing his body, doing shoeys, taking a shot, drinking 3 liters of milk, drinking watermelon juice and cider out of styrofoam, etc. He went for six hours total and made about $1,500.

Keep in mind of course that for the stream to start at 8PM EST, he had to start drinking at 9 AM Australian. And that he maxed out at 56 viewers or so.

Tyson had hinted several times that he was going in intending to get taken offline by YouTube, started streaming AC/DC, cut his hand in two places, waxed his throat causing it to bleed, and gagged himself at least a dozen times, until YouTube capped him. So the link above is from when he came back. The original's still gone, I don't know if it's coming back, so, I think @Aidan has the Gofile I guess. There are also a lot of clips over at https://twitter.com/TherealJeh0va

So he was a little more subdued in this second live and invited Rocky Stream and Steinful into a call to get through his emotional drunk phases. And some tidbits came out which is why I'll actually bother to summarize some:

• Spoiler: notes

  Said he would come back on Fishtank in a heartbeat if invited, but his preference for the creative direction of the show is that nobody except maybe Josie and Letty return, and they only return because they won it
  

  • To me it seems maybe slightly arbitrary to consider Tyson outside of the nearly-guaranteed-to-return cast (Ben, Chris, Scott, Frank) considering his impact. But idk.

  [*]Thinks Betty is doing the best out of anyone at streaming outside the tank, wants to stream with her eventually
  [*]Thinks the contestants aren't experienced enough with YouTube to retain an audience
  [*]The only time he contacted the producers after he left was to ask what the fuck is going on with Dontarius jerking off
  [*]Said the stream with Letty was awkward for the previously discussed reasons and that he set out to troll her and cause problems, but because he was not streaming on his own channel and was therefore not as visible, it didn't really land
  [*]Wants to stream with the other fish but they don't trust him to not do anything too-weird (I don't get this personally, like the blackface thing was a lot but he's not an axe murderer). Says he plans to stream with Sylvia because they vibed and she's very responsive to his DMs
  [*]Says he's the most underrated fishtanker and has capitalized better than everyone else has, and that he's very humble
  [*]Thinks Damiel is weird and seems like an outsider because he hasn't had any real presence on the internet after the show
  [*]Thinks Fishtank the documentary will be slightly bigger than WP2 because the live version hyped everyone up for it, and meanwhile WP2 is harder to market
  [*]Mentions Kiwifarms twice:
  

  • said iDubbz was trying to turn Airsoft "into this like Kiwifarms meme kind of thing and he succeeded"
  • said Mauro is a "Kiwifarms exclusive"
    • So if he's in here, now that we're on the clearnet on sneed.today.... listen.... listen.... I'm not autistic. I'm cataloging it for marketing to the thread and for posterity because of the esteem I hold for you and my high expectations for the future. And because writing helps me get over a hangover.

He has a gag to lure Josie onto the stream involving an orange notebook labeled "Field Guide" containing her drawings which he ended up with somehow, he tries to hide the drawing from the screen but flashed it three times because he was very drunk.

He made out like the drawings were scandalous but I think either he knows they're not or there's something sus in the details.

Anyway after all that he says he's streaming again today. And that next week will be his "final stream for a while."

These niggas still thinking about Letty like she's the villain, rent free. Letty W

 

[Punitive Castration]

Rather, I'd say I left some context off- he said Letty saw what he did during Vance's stream with all extreme bits, and was trying to keep him under control by running the stream and suggesting too many activities. So blackface was like a counter-counter-troll. He said if he streams with Josie he will do the same shit to her too.
Sorry, I guess without that context it made it seem targeted.

[Punitive Castration]

Short summary: Sylvia went live for her test stream, had no audio
We're now waiting for the Drunk Piece of Shit challenge between Sylvia and Letty which was supposed to start 15 minutes ago.

Meanwhile Damiel is live on Instagram with no shirt on and a tissue up his nose, claiming he just did a ton of cocaine and showing off his, idk if you can call her a GF or whatever, I don't think he's sophisticated enough to have a girlfriend in that sense. He's flirting in his weird way "Babe you be makin me smile way too much, I'm gonna have to arrest your ass"

 

[Sicko Hunter]

Betty is one of the biggest lolcows to come out of Fishtank as a whole. Such a cunty dumb whore. I get the feeling that she's jealous of Letty and that's why she's sperging out.

Betty is the exact type of person people claimed Letty was during the show. She's mentally unstable, a huge attention whore, probably has BPD or something like it, backstabbed everyone who helped her on FishTank, spread rumors about the crew and then got angry when Jet and Sam wanted nothing to do with her afterwards. The single thing she's remembered for on the show is flashing her tits like a hoe. I think she would be slightly less intolerable if she didn't act so smug about her 48 hours of fame.
