Personally thought Blaire was super chill and great! Really excited to see more on-screen chemistry between you two :)

You guys are so cool!! I personally love Blaire’s addition to the reactions, it allows us to see a new side to you, PD and that’s super valuable to me as a longtime viewer. I can personally relate to a lot of y’all’s struggles and all I have to say is I will be here for whatever content you guys make that makes YALL happy <3 I hope this community can be empathetic and understanding of one other, and those that have constructive criticism can give it Constructively, not condescendingly. Wishing you two all the best, and I can’t wait for more reactions!

it's wonderful to see people come out of their shell and do things that develop them as a person. i think with more experience, blaire will really shine, and that'll make for some awesome contributions to the reaction community. with that said, i would also put some thought into why people are drawn to this channel's reactions. we know you're a video producer - for me, personally, that's why i want to see your reaction, because you point out many details that are specific to the creative process. i'm not interested personally in the reactions of just fans, because that's what i am and pretty much just a matter of opinion. i believe that's what people would want to know; something of blaire's critical opinion. as always, i'm excited to see more, to see how things develop & to hear your thoughts on the content you react to. much love and keep it up! 💓

Awww, Blair is truly the sweetest, I even said so in the IVE video, at first I thought that this was her way of trying to be supportive of you and what you enjoy ( but didn’t know how to engage properly because this was something out of her comfort zone and not a personal interest ), but now that you’re telling us that she’s here for herself and because of the reason you explained, it makes it even more special. I hope she get’s to be brave enough to be herself one day and I hope reacting becomes the medium through which she starts becoming more comfortable with herself. If she’s an extrovert then I hope we get to see that soon, I’m sure as she learns the ways of appreciating the art of kpop, that we will hear some great imput from her in your reaction videos. Best of luck to her and I can’t wait to see more of you two. 💕

What Blaire may not express verbally, you can see in her face and eyes. It will take time... finding confidence and moving past anxiety is NOT an easy thing. Hell, I'm nearly 50 and struggle with it on a daily basis. She's taking the first steps on a path that will be so much fun, and she has a phenomenal guide right beside her. I'm so happy that things are evolving in such positive ways for you both. You have been one of the few reactors that I have returned to time and again and sought out when new music is released. Why? Because your takes are multilayered, emotional, technical, and genuine. Not to mention, it is simply fun to watch. Much love to both of you. 💜

I adore you and Blaire so much! You both radiate warmth and comfort for me. I love seeing her on Patreon so it’s amazing seeing her on YouTube too! 🥰 Thank you both for your hard work, idk what I’d do without this channel. & Thank you guys for trying to save and heal the world. You’re both such beautiful souls. ❤

Blaire is always welcome! I hope you both feel the comfort and ease in life that we all need to feel. No one is perfect. Everyone needs to improve at something or a lot of things. For people to criticize someone, I hope that it was all the very least constructive and not malicious. I think both PD AND Blaire are beautiful people that have a lot to offer this world. And I'm excited to see you BOTH in the future.

I think she has been a great addition. Her reaction to Jimin was the same reaction we all had haha. Plus the shoulder out joke was funny. Keep it up, I've watched you grow for a few years now over multiple different accounts. I always like your unique perspective on things, and you catch things in music videos that I didn't even notice. I usually hear new music through your reactions. Much Love to you both.

I'm glad you posted this message so clearly. I can give Blair a chance. I didn't think she was disruptive, I just felt the vibe was different. It's like you invite a friend over and they bring their partner, so suddenly you become a third wheel.

Been reading your messages here and on Patreon, PD. I just wanna say, thank you! My life’s been shit, and still is but reading your posts, weirdly enough reading it with your voice, gives me a bit of hope and courage. That life will not be this way forever. You’re doing an amazing job, more than what you can imagine.

Blair is incredible, and while you do not owe us your stories, I appreciate your candor. You are one of my favorite reactors, because of your intelligence and unique perspectives on film and music. I’m happy Blair has joined you, and I hope we all can make her feel welcome. Borahae!

Blair’s comments on Flower were absolutely adoring, even though she wasn’t in the scene. Wishing you all the best on your journey!

I felt she was very biased, and her biased views are swaying you to agree with what she comments.

for what it’s worth I love Blair’s addition to the channel! I noticed how you ask her thoughtful questions to get her to expand on her opinions and I found it really supportive and sweet. reacting on camera is weird and doesn’t come naturally to a lot of people but I think she’ll get the hang of it in no time and I’m excited for her input.

If you’ve been reacting for 7 years, I’ve been watching your reactions for over half that time. I’ve watched through various thumbnail eras, through studio moves, even a few crises. In fact, I believe this was the first ever reaction channel I subscribed to. I think my absolute favorite thing about your videos, PD, is the unstated B-plot of your personal journey. Your growth and confidence boost over the years is noticeable, and I’m excited for you to have reached this point today. I remember when you first spoke about having a partner, someone who made you feel special and carried you through hard times. To finally meet Blaire these past videos has been so exciting, and I wish nothing more from her except she continue to do what makes her most comfortable. Thank you, Blaire 🙏 and thank you, PD 🥰 I will continue to be here through everythin

Blaire has a sweet sounding voice and I enjoy her input a lot. Your reactions to Jimin's Like Crazy, for example, felt like having friends over talking about our theories and whatnot, so I really liked her joining PD. I don't mind how timid she gets sometimes. I turn toward reactions to find people who enjoy the same things I do, and different people react differently, it's only normal. I hope doing this can make both of you feel less alone, it definitely has helped me in that aspect so far!

Form of Therapy
Hello everyone, it's ya boi PD.
In this week's YouTube video release, you may have noticed Blaire's debut on this channel.
I have seen a lot of positive comments praising her but also some critiques as well. And I wanted to thank you all for both.
Regarding the critique towards Blaire being too quiet, shy, or even disruptive at the wrong moments--they're all valid. These are not just her issues as a "reactor" these are at the crux of her own personal struggles. I will spare you the details as it is her own story to tell.
But the biggest reason for Blaire joining FORM OF THERAPY is this:
Something I believed to be true, and still believe, is that reacting made me a better person. I truly believe that reacting is something that you can only do with a pure of heart. I say "pure of heart" but what that means is up to the individual. But for me, it means being Brave.
For me, it meant being Brave enough to show my truth to people. I was ashamed of my autism and my IQ because I was beaten and tortured by my own family for it, I was ashamed of being Korean because I was bullied as a kid, and then as a teenager it put a target on my back. But I am not ashamed. I never have been. Only through the consistent beatings was I made to "believe" that shit.
I have been "reacting" for 7 years now but it really feels like I'm only just getting started. I was headed down a certain career path in film production and severely cut my ties when I saw how limiting and controlling the space was.
I plan to tell you all more about me and my journey here over the coming months as I prepare to launch and announce my 3-year and 10-year plans.
Blaire is here because she wants to change. She wants to make healing content. But she also knows that she cannot heal others and inspire others unless she becomes the change she wants to see in the world. So she is here despite her shyness or whatever else it may be--because none of these are actually her.
I have seen her true face, not this mask she wears on camera. Blaire is here because I believe in her. From the moment I met her I believed in her. From the moment I met her, I knew her potential. Blaire is actually an extrovert but her trauma has made her mask as an introvert. She holds a lot of fear in her heart and so she is here to release that fear, and in turn she hopes that her journey can inspire anyone else who may be like her.
She wants to heal the world, and I want to save it. I can't find a better partner than that.
I waited 3 long years to bring her in. There are many reasons for it but the biggest one was that she just wasn't ready. Blaire needed to get to a point where she has done everything she possibly can on her own, before reacting. She is ready now.
I know not everyone may jive with her at first or for a while, especially given that I am the world's greatest reactor, it's natural that comparisons will be drawn. But I did not become the world's greatest reactor overnight. I didn't even make MYSELF this way.
You all did.
So when we say all critique is welcome, we truly mean it. We are both confident that both the praise and the critique will help her in the way that you have all helped me.
I hope you are all inspired by her journey.
