Hey

Just a quick question/request for advice. My roommate has a youtube channel and he vlogs daily, and he’s super popular and his youtube channel has over 1,000 subscriptions. He doesn’t mind if I’m in the room when he vlogs, (he usually asks me to be in it or just says “yeah my roommate’s here right now”), but he does a live show every Wednesday from 5PM-7PM and he requests that I’m not present for it. I’m okay with that as I’m not usually in the room at that time anyways, and I don’t have a big interest in his show. I’ve been pretty nice about the whole thing and I don’t really mind what he does.

However, he decided to push his luck and told his subscribers that in mid-january he’s going to start doing two 2-hour shows each week and a 45 minute show every day, while continuing to vlog daily. He asked me if this was alright, and I reluctantly said yeah, and his next vlog spoke of a “new set” and an “after-school special” which would be in the afternoon when I’m trying to nap or study. I asked about this “new set” and he just said he wanted to put some boards up and move my desk over so the boards could lean on it, and cover up the window with another board so that the sunlight wouldn’t interfere. I have a perfect set up and I like the window, so I said no. He was cool about it at first, but then he announced on one of his vlogs that his roommate is “ruining all his plans for the new season” so basically all the comments are ratting on me and my roommate’s freaking about getting “likes” and stuff like that.

Since break started we haven’t talked about it, but he texted me today asking if i’d “plzzzzz let him rearrange the room and do an afternoon show” and I, again, reluctantly said “probably.” I have no idea why.

He never replied back, and I’m concerned about how to handle this when I get back to school. I don’t want him screwing with our room/ my schedule, but I want to ruin his show. What do you suggest I do/say?

…Thanks.
