OMG. So I've been watching Clancy for a few years, starting with, like many of you, the viral 2am morning routine. Excuse the long post because I have a lot of thoughts, lol. I read this thread from the beginning, and was very impressed at how someone totally called her leaving Local 12 well before she announced it! And I did feel disappointed when she left — I am currently in the journalism field so I found her reporting content super interesting and enjoyed it a lot.
I'm a terrible snarker and more of a commentator so I will not say anything about her outfits, lol, but I will say I'm always surprised when she shows getting all her clothes from A&F. I'm from Canada, and that place (along with Hollister) was extremely popular in the 2000's when I was in Junior High and High School. Is that a thing for 26 year olds to get almost all their clothes from there?!
Also, in defence of her oatmeal ... you do get used to dark / unsweetened chocolate or cocoa powder after a while! I've definitely put cocoa powder in things with very little sweetener. That being said, I do not care for cocoa powder in my oatmeal (although I love chocolate in general), and I'm always confused about how she can have such a tiny amount (like probably not even 200 calories) for breakfast and not be starving. :/ Especially if she's working out in the morning, that's just not enough. That always bothers me!
This is now very old now lol, but I needed to rant about the proposal: during the video explanation, I was nearly yelling on into my laptop! She got proposed to by someone she really loves, and the first thing she says is "I look so ugly without my makeup!" (or whatever it was). So much of the proposal story was how she wasn't dressed up / made up for the photos, and she was just so appearance-focussed! You just got engaged!!!!! Be happy!!! And maybe dress up a little more if you care this much about how you look?! Maybe I'm biased, but when my then bf (now husband) proposed to me, we were camping with my family. We'd just gotten back from a hike to our campsite, and he walked me to another part of the campsite where he had a cute setup. But I was wearing a large, baggy fleece zip-up my dad got for free from a company he used to work for, old leggings with holes, tall hiking socks and Toms shoes, and was generally sweaty / covered in bug spray and sunscreen. But I was so excited when it happened, and was so happy to see my family back at the campsite and we all had a wonderful time celebrating!! Also, her comment about how her short hair was "disgusting" ... I thought it was so cute back then when it was that length!
All these comments about their relationship will have me watching their interactions more closely going forward, because I never thought for a second that Zac and Clancy would break up or anything! I mean, I've obviously noticed Zac's sarcastic comments, but I mostly just viewed it as him acting that way for the camera. I mostly just fast forward through their chats though, since I get annoyed at Clancy's over enthusiastic way of talking to him and his bored, sarcastic drawl. I find people can speculate all they want about a couple's relationship, but it can be hard to get the full picture / story when all you see is short clips in videos. Obviously it can be representative of someone's relationship as a whole though, so you never know!
Random bit but I was so confused about why she kept showing the common area at her old apartment complex in Cinci so many times! That was super boring to me. Also random but when they first got to one of the airbnbs and Clancy was giving us a tour, she opened a closet and it had some cleaning supplies. And then she was like "hopefully they're not expecting us to clean!" ... a month without cleaning the floors (at least sweeping), especially since they wear shoes inside
, or the bathrooms
... that's just gross!!
Okay, here are a few quotes I liked / wanted to comment on (I told you I read from the beginning lol)
I just find this whole influencers/influencing thing super dangerous at times. Young people being inspired by some pseudo-influencers who have no clue about anything, or buy what they promote, or believe what they say and so on. For me social media influencers is one of the most tragic things that has happened the last 8+ years. Full of misinformation, lies, fake life, and lack of knowledge.
This is the best post in the entire thread!
Poor girl is clueless. The reason her channel grew over the years was because she was real, in all her awkward glory. This whole new life she has doesn’t fit her persona in the slightest, it’s so cringey. This girl has no clue what anyone wants to see, hear, or dress like for that matter. She’s shoving a square cube into a round hole.
Agree with this a lot. Plus, it was just odd that her entire channel was basically based on this job she apparently hated so much. I get wanting to be sensitive to your employer and stuff, but either just don't talk about all the stuff behind the scenes after you leave and just say you didn't think it was for you and that you were too tired, or don't come across as this being such a cool job and completely trash it after you've left.
Oh, and a while ago when she was defending herself about her OCD comments: that REALLY bothered me. I have a good friend whose hands are constantly completely raw and cracked because they have diagnosed OCD and hand washing is something they struggle with. But in a follow-up video, she mentioned that she had OCD when she was younger so it's okay to say it now???? What?!
i think she just has anxiety. like really really really bad anxiety. like she has to cover up her flaws constantly and is just overly self conscious about everything.
This this this this this. This sums up my feelings about her in general. Every time she's overdramatic about something, ranting about working out or not being a reporter or being obsessive about her food, I feel sort of sad. :/ Like this is just anxious behaviour — it's actually incredibly sad
I had a feeling her content would go downhill once she quit her reporter job and became a full-time influencer. I think the travel stuff could be interesting, but a bar is a bar is a bar, and the same old meals and dry chicken just doesn't make for interesting content.
Have they said where their next destination is? If not, my guess is maybe Boston, since they said they're going east, and they went there recently for a wedding and Clancy said she wanted to live there?
Okay, I'm done now! Congrats if anyone made it this far. I will be a regular contributor now that I've discovered this!
