#(But not a vid. I'm just talking)

[bixels]

I watched Starship Troopers tonight.

#personal #dumb #my art #immediately after finishing i was pumped to watch some analysis vids on it #cuz i heard a lot of the drama about the original author being a pro military fascist and the director going “fuck that” and making a satir #scrolling through youtube search results was not promising. lots of male film buffs i would Not trust even on a first glance. #“The Critical Drinker” (pfp of a bearded man drinking alcohol) lol. #and then I saw cinemawins did a video on it and was like oh nice i haven't seen his stuff in a while but he's a pretty leftist creator #scrolled through the comments #second panel face #this sucks i'm outta here. #just leagues and leagues and leagues of anime pfps and right leaning people dogpiling on him for “not understanding what fascism is” #idk it's pretty alien and weird to me watching this movie and going “wow yeah that was pretty obvious huh” like literally the from opening #to the teacher preaching militance and only giving voting rights to “those who serve their nation first and earn it” #and then seeing droves of people online going #WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? It's not anti-fascist and even if it was it's #the director's fault for desecrating heinlein's incredible sci-fi epic vision. ermm media literacy is dead.

FAMINE: That's one deep, dark nothing you've got there, Dean.

dean and his father. dean and his family. dean and how bad it is.

#spn #vid #mind the warnings on this one for real #woe! fruit of my rewatch be upon ye. #pallas calls this my 'deangirl coming out vid' which honestly. true. but those who paid attention know i've always been a deangirl. #also. after this no more deanwinchester rilo kiley amvs I Pwomise #anyway. i'm not gonna give a full commentary here but a big reason why i chose this song is that the narrator #is essentially dismissing her own problems and instead watching the problems of someone else #and i kind of wanted to play with that theme. this is the parallels show so let's do some parallels. lots of things happen to characters #that are Like Dean somehow. either in personality or circumstance. that we know or can infer happen to him. but we don't see it bc it's #not sayable. not speakable. so like for an easy one. we see meg being tortured in caged heat. she also talks about apprenticing under #alastair just like dean. so i show her being tortured [in a way that is sexualized and demon-specific] and reacting how she does #because i invite the audience to imagine or interpret that this has also happened to dean at some point. we just don't see it #so there are many dean parallels in this video. some obvious. some subtle but textual. some products of my twisted mind. but that's the way #i am using them to make my argument. #oh also: dean voice sam's eyes going black is JUST like when he used to fight with dad and wouldn't listen to me when i told him not to. #i guess also the point is that because it's unsayable. dean can't say it. dean can't even acknowledge it. and so it bleeds through #into everything in his life #that's why it's important that the song narrator doesn't take her own problems seriously. dean doesn't either.

Hello. You made a post asking for some art requests.

How about some more salmon pearl? I love the design :D

thank you so much for the request! <3

it makes me so so happy that people like my pearl design aaaahhh i'm very new to the fandom and i thought it'd be really hard to get my art out there since there's already a ton of super cool artists already but yall have been so incredibly kind to me since the start and i've met some really amazing people in here that i consider my friends :,)

#gremnda art #ask #r3dstarfir3 #pearlescentmoon fanart #hermitcraft #hermitblr #hermitcraft fanart #hermitcraft season 10 #it makes me so happy that my pearl fanarts are known the most too #like the hyperfixation on pearl's hc vids aside #she's just an amazing person #she's actually so kind and sweet and chaotic in a fun way #but she's also really considerate esp with the strike going on for palestine #she's one of the few ccs i saw that actually talked about the issue and tried spreading awareness #she's just so cool man #i'm so glad to be one of her fanartists #OKAY /pos rant over #retreating back under my rock

[sodepopcorn]

Ok so there’s this fucking parallel/inversion (idk how to call it) that makes me want to hurl :

When Morty confronts Rick about how he carelessly treats others and tries to protect his mother from another heartbreak.

But Beth immediately (IMMEDIATELY) forgives Rick the second he’s back because she couldn’t bear the thought of being abandoned by him (again). 

AND THEN

THIS FUCKING SCENE where Beth confronts Rick about how he carelessly treats others and tries to protect her son from another heartbreak. But Morty immediately (IMMEDIATELY) forgives Rick the second he’s back because he couldn’t bear the thought of being abandoned by him (again).

Anyway every time I think abt them I start shaking violently.

#I am so so normal about them #I was also too lazy to take screenshots of that last scene and put subtitles on it so here's the whole vid #I just noticed it and now it's all I can think abt #like HOW dependent on Rick are they ??? #also the way Beth stares down at Rick while demanding respect ? she might talking abt herlself as well as morty but yeah #I'm onto nothing lmao I just thought it was a cool callback?similitude?parallel? thingy #rick sanchez #beth smith #morty smith #rick and morty

Update: The walk of shame back to camp, I think he's pissed off for needing to bail me out of jail 😔

#he won't talk to me 😭 #he said he was “sick of my antics” and now I can't even talk to him #it really was a “think about what you've done” ride back to camp #I feel like I'M being scolded #like sorry dutch :( I won't do it again :( #(I probably will) #he kept looking over at me with a look of such disappointment #dutch is like “just you wait until I tell your other father about this” #lmao #rdr2 #red dead redemption 2 #mick squeaks #mick vids #arthur morgan #dutch van der linde #liveblogging

I am also going to have to post my 20 page (!!!) google doc with my notes and quotes and cut content #especially because - like a gremlin - i changed some of the quotes just a little bit to make more sense in the context of this vid. #which felt weird and bad and wrong but it did make the vid better. and so i can live with it. #also there is a shorter version on my youtube page for anyone who doesn't want to watch thriteen minutes of game of thrones vid #though this is the intended viewing experience #i could talk about this all day but i need to press post so. #my fanvids #Youtube

[alans-snz]

Took a break from going through C/y Y/u (Cy/no V/A) streams to focus on actually making a little compilation for the four snz's I've found so far. Enjoy!! Now to search more (after I watch this another tons of times)

#can we just talk about the fact that he practically frickin MOANED after the last one EXCUSE ME??? #how is it that his non-stifled snz is just as fucking precious as his stifled ones?? #speaking of as much as I love his stifles that non-stifled snz kinda hits different #also the little yell(?) after the first one was really cute 🥺 #and him cutely saying I'm sick. That was so cute in the last one 🥺 #so was that adorable head shake throughout the snz he's so adorable!!! #also apparently he gets colds when he overworks #our poor precious man I love him so much #snz #al/e/jan/dro sa/ab #gen/shin v/a #gen/shin v/a snz #snz vid #snz kink #snzfucker #snzblr #cy/no #al/an com/pi/la/tions

I know the cishets love Nick but man. Nick Valentine bleeds transmasc. Everything about him is just such a strong familiar feeling. The things he says, the things he does, even down to his clothes and how he feels about them. He's that man by choosing. That man is for us

#i have a vid of him asking how the transition went. and the way he talks about himself after #is just SOMETHING. he even says 'the uhh transition.' when referring to his story #yeah i know he didnt mean trans transition. but the FEELING is there. #his situation is already so much like ours. who cares if he's talking about being a synth. #he's talking about being a MAN. the same way i am. the same way I experience #sunflower posts #sorry i'm feeling emotions rn. #nick valentine #sorry tag watchers

#i know this is just how making music and storytelling works #like obviously you're going to have different things contrast and parallel and reference each other #but it's COOL #Anyways blah blah this is a mcyt blog but i'm allowed to talk abotu whatever i want #also god the quality on this vid is SO good #pafl #parties are for losers #ferry #vocaloid

Been rereading 17776 and also watching Jon Bois' PRETTY GOOD series on youtube and I gotta say. He was so well and truly ahead of his time and even now in what is likely the golden age of video essays where everyone is racing to make a video 3x as long as it needs to be he was making high quality vids about random topics with far more style and substance 10 years ago. It's actually amazing I haven't seen anyone try and mimic his unique style, he's truly one of a kind.

If you need an example, watch THE DUMBEST BOY ALIVE which is a recounting of a fitness forum thread where people argue how many days are in a week. You can get a dime a dozen videos going over threads from reddit or 4chan, tumblr or twitter, but few will bother to put half the level of care Bois does here while even adding to the story and not just rereading it post by post yes I know it's because youtube rewards high output low quality these days but let me have my point please thank you :)

#I just rewatched the Dumbest Boy and I lose it every time the concept of ‘A Real Week’ is brought up #fun talk tag #17776 #Also if you're a 17776 fan I've said it before but you should watch at least a few of Bois' vids to see where he got and refined... #... his google earth style that gets used in 17776. Such unique stuff I'm still amazed I've never seen a copycat

i will not get pedantic in the notes i will not get pedantic in the notes i will not get pedantic in the notes i will not

#belgium and more specifically king leopold ii are primarily responsible for the millions of deaths in the congo #i don't want to let france off the hook but their worst colonial atrocities were in north africa southeast asia and the south pacific #they absolutely committed atrocities in the congo but relative to belgium it was a drop in the bucket #overall the points are good and accurate but i get so stressed by videos like this where it's mostly accurate with a few mistakes #because those mistakes sound legitimate and accurate based on the rest of the video #so people don't fact check and take the whole thing to be true #anyway i'm very nervous around any history that does not explicitly and readily cite its sources #and that's a me issue #tbc i'm not like upset with or judging anyone for rbing i'm just talking to myself #instead of going 'well actually' in some rando's notes when all they did was share the vid

[starlit-mansion]

it's kind of wild that jessie gender used the word transandrophobia in a youtube video. i've never seen that happen before. people gotchaing you know who for blatantly misgendering rebecca sugar and nate stevenson was the most callout of actual transmasc or afab transneutral erasure i've seen from the video essay space in memory, and even that was mostly just to pad out the callout post

#it's nice to hear literally one transfeminine person self-reflect on the way people talk over trans men in the youtube literati sphere #but. to be fair. a LOT of people called the lack of visible trans men out during hbomb's mermaids charity stream years back #there was a lot of scrambling to find transmasc guests towards the end. like.. irrc just tweeting out for guests #and then idk i don't think it moved the needle at all after that #(but also i stopped watching cpoints during the middle of her 'being cancelled for nonbinary erasure' era so idk if she changed) #other than that... in the mask off vid in l.e.'s final yt days she apologized for saying trans men have it easier than trans women #citing (as everyone seems to) elliot page finally showing the world that trans men are treated like dogshit #which uh. hm. i get that saying that doesn't call anyone of lesser visibility out #but frankly i'm shocked that she spent so much time in HER fandoms seemingly without ever encountering trans men lmao #(that's a joak. i remember it was way less visible a decade ago. fandom spaces were very girls club back then) #i'm rambling now lol #it's... a little wild that the misgendering was assigned to misogyny alone if i'm being honest. it was literally in the misogyny section #and it was about classing them as women to say that they were ALLOWED to show 'nonthreatening' wlw stories

Seeing a few too many "this should be a required class in school" posts.

There are other, better, places to learn some things.

#I have never taken a cooking class #and I think I'm a pretty decent cook #I've read some books about food science and played around with things #my husband has never taken a class on car maintenance or repair #he just watches a lot of car youtube and is willing to try things out #I learned about weather patterns from observation and talking to people who know more than me #admittedly they did tell me about types of clouds in elementary school #but they certainly didn't explain the snowpack or drainage or how mountains affect wind and clouds #I learned to knit by asking older ladies questions and the occasional supplemental book or youtube vid #at some point you gotta learn how to learn things #without someone else organizing the curriculum and holding you accountable

[everymlmhybrid]

this part genuinely makes me feel like eating dry wall like i can't explain how i feel about it without making some of you finally tire of me and block me about it i think

#.txt #reservoir dogs - #sorry for just randomly posting clips . i was actually working on my vid i swear but then i started Thinking. and here we are. #anyways going genuinely insane in the tags . i'm so sorry. -> #(im only sorry for the sheer amount of tags or if u disagree w/ my interpretations / headcanons. if ur just annoyed lmfao sucks to be you!) #anyways. you guys ever think abt the way orange HAS TO know white's lying to him abt his odds of survival. #bc i think abt that genuinely constantly. all the time thinking about it. #also the ''joe's gonna get you 100% again'' -> first of all . lol. second of all -> ''he was the only one i wasn't 100% on'' hello? HELLO!! #also freddy's voice here makes me feel like punching walls . like it makes me wail in anguish. #no but yeah i think abt the theme of lying & the fact some of the first lies we hear are in this scene in a way #also this part is leaning wayyy harder on headcanon but i always think. like if orange WASNT lying abt who he is. then it'd be reasonable #forhim to not know how likely he is to die and/or how blatantly larry's lying (''i'm talking days!'') but as a cop he SOOO knows he's fcked #but like . what's he gonna do. ''hey i know that's bullshit'' like obviously not and partly bc of How he knows but also bc like #you just don't argue with the only guy who's caring for you while you're seemingly on the brink of death!! LMAO #and certainly not when he's the only one telling you you'll be fine!! even if he's just bullshitting you so you don't freak out!! #I DON'T KNOW i go kinda insane about this scene . as . you can tell. #if you too are insane about this and the implications . don't worry. in several months. my fic will feed you. you will see. #idk . larry lying to and/or for him <33333333 kinda makes me go insane. kinda makes me go wild. #idk. i should be getting ready for bed rn. WHATEVER. bye. logging off. if you read all these i'm in love with you okay #i've just been turngin them around in my head like a microwave for hours so i needed to infodump or else i would explode i think
