#go watch some youtube

[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.

yeah the Super Bowl halftime show was alright but i want to take this opportunity to subject you all to my personal favorite halftime show: the 2012 nba finals pitbull, chris brown and ne-yo halftime show

its an utter and absolute train wreck so terrible you can't look away. it begins with weird seductive whispering by pitbull while the camera zooms into his face. then he appears wearing all black, sunglasses, and gloves like a mafia boss. his terrible dancing attempts. his performance looks like hes making a plea to the united nations. then marc anthony appears on the screen behind him like a hostage video. he conducts the dancers like a drum major or perhaps a slightly too insane middle school band director. then chris brown appears from nowhere, in an ugly suit, and upstages him at his own show by pulling out some newsies bow sequence level dancing. then of course ne-yo appears because why wouldn't he. and his hat is sitting in ways that make it seem like a magic trick it hasn't fallen off yet. and pitbull is in the middle of it all, thrusting his hips and his hands into the hearts of america as he spews utter nonsense like confetti. its absolutely bamboozling and the best halftime show ive ever seen.

#like why did they go so hard #why #anyway #not a tag #from saph #clearly i dont watch the superbowl #pitbull #also obviously i dont support chris brown but he unfortunately had some bops and he can dance #Youtube #no one communicated with eachother on what they were wearing either #its a mess #a disaster #a masterpiece #they dont make them like this anymore

Hey so there’s this indie short film coming out later today called Gruff. This guy has been working on it for almost three years in his garage and he made it to cope with his dad passing away. He’s also been posting things on YouTube and Instagram about his process with the film. The thing that really makes this film stand out is that it’s made almost entirely OUT OF PAPER. I’ve had my eye on this project for a few months now and I’m just really excited for it to come out. I’m not sponsored in any way, I just haven’t been this hyped for an indie project in a while and I wanted to spread the word about it. The trailer and premiere links are below. It drops at 5pm PST/6pm MST/7pm CST/8pm EST.

#please go give the guy some love #I’ll be busy during the premiere but I’ll watch it as soon as I can! #sorry non American viewers I didn’t list the times :( #gruff #gruff short film #short film #film #films #righteous robot #paper craft #animation #(?) #youtube #youtumblr #signal boost #father #fathers #dad #dads #super spy #spy #spy thriller

ON THE SUBJECT OF A MARCH 1ST UPDATE LIVESTREAM.

so due to newly-employed circumstances, i most likely won't be able to stream my exploration of the update until the Sunday after it drops - March 3rd, likely around 10 am pst.

im not gonna ask anyone to wait because that's unreasonable and absurd, However! I am curious:

#im asking instead of cancelling it outright #because i know how fun it can be to see someone explore/discover/watch something youve already enjoyed #plus. if i may so bold as to say! #who knows! maybe some of you actually Want to hear me speculate and go bonkers On Mic <3 #absolutely unprompted #marked for deletion #welcome home #Why Am I Waiting Until The Third? #it will most likely be my first day off! #i dont wanna explore the update when im exhausted after a 9 hour shift lmfao #and i don't want to explore it in the morning before work when im on a crunch #i want Time! i want Energy! im gonna need all the brainpower i can cobble together! #oh man the upcoming full day of Active Avoidance #i might actually turn off my phone lmfao #bc muscle memory is gonna take me to tumblr & That has burned me so many times... #im not gonna use tumblr im not gonna use discord #im gonna queue up youtube videos so that i dont risk seeing anything on the homepage #babey im Hunkering Down! #i will simply spend my free time after work with myself. crochet. doodle. sit and stare at a wall #sob viciously bc im missing out #its interesting. so much of my life has been Being Late To The Proverbial Party & Missing Out On Experiences. #and by interesting i mean it makes me violent. sigh. but we deal! what else is there to do!

i think carpenter and hayward should have some kind of ghost hunting youtube channel but for unlicensed gods. they go around snarking at each other and arguing over what kind of god this is and how best to deal with it. hayward ALWAYS thinks its an old harvest god and they have NEVER once made a situation better

#I JUST THINK THIS WOULD FIT THEIR DYNAMIC REALLY WELL #the silt verses #tsv #paige is their long suffering manager #what about faulkner? you may ask #well if this is an au thats easy #he’s a former intern who left under sketchy circumstances and started his own much more succesful show #If it’s in universe then i think every sunday or whatever the traweler man equivalent is #He gets up there and gives his little sermon and makes some kinda bitchy comment about have you SEEN what #anathema carpenter was doing this week. (she’s so cool and i miss her) #and when someone asks him why he’s watching anathema carpenter’s youtube channel he’s like. um well. #is the trawelerman not also the god of streams. ALSO i have to keep tabs on this ENEMY of the FAITH and also um I GOTTA GO #thoughts

"the spiderverse movies have references to all kinds of iterations of spider-man!" well do they have HIM?

?

do they?

#deerchatter #baman piderman #anyone remember this old web show? #i randomly remembered it from like a decade ago and went back to binge it and god it's so CUTE #even had some newer episodes i'd never seen before yay #if anyone wants to see adorable silly short format cartoons with really fun fluid animation go watch baman piderman on youtube #it starts out simple but really hits its stride after a couple episodes (which are only ~1 minute long each so. you know.) #piderman my friend piderman ...

"You wanna know how I even found out my content was being limited? I sat here and refresh the page several times a day of my uploads. And, as the hours passed, I watched slowly as more and more of my content I worked hard on was retroactively flagged. I put hundreds of hours of my life into this content. I'm really proud of it. It's always been my dream to be an entertainer and to do this… And now, I'm sat here, watching parts of my livelihood just disappear. No notification. No fanfare. Just slowly becoming more and more restricted. It's not even about the money for me - although, y'know, I'll happily be paid for the work I do - if your video is limited for ads and demonetized, it reaches less people, that's what really matters to me. And I feel like I'm just watching my career slowly being sapped away, powerless to do anything. It's really depressing."

Please, go support the man by watching his Best of RTGame 2022 video and, in case you don't know who that is but like games-related content, consider subscribing on him and/or following him on Twitch. He's a good lad with a lovely community and completely did not deserve the massacre YouTube putting him through. Thanks.

#the only post i wouldn't mind to blow up #i'm. so angry right now #the lad's content as well as community really helped me go through rough times of my life #and now watching like some really weird system that doesnt make sense threatening to put his career to the end it's just makes me so mad #rtgame #rtgamecrowd #rtumblr #youtube #video games #reworkyoutube

#good grief im gettin a lil tired of seeing 'DONT DO THIS' kinda art videos #i very much understand its a youtube thing and that clickbait names and thumbs get the views and attention needed #but it doesnt mean it doesnt annoy me or that I cant be annoyed by it #sometimes i just see it in tutorial pictures too #but the large DONTS with red Xs near the supposed ''wrong'' way of drawing is so demotivating #people start and draw in many ways than one #its what makes art their own #but when videos or tutorial posts are made and show the ''WRONG'' way to go about it #its like scolding the new artist or long time artist with that style that they're doing it wrong and that its bad #no matter the intention its not the way to go about helping artists learn to draw #and in my personal opinion #the click bait ''DONT DO THIS WHEN DRAWING'' thing is what keeps me from actually watching the vids #i get theyre probably helpful but i don't like that I have to feel some NEED or DESIRE to click on a vid cause I feel like I did a thing #wrong or that i never should have done it at all #i wish i could see more 'here are some tips that helped me #kinda vids cause yes i would love to learn what helped you rather than being or feeling wronged for drawing in a way that isn't theirs #im rambling but i have been seeing a lot of 'DONT DO THIS' NEVER DO THIS' 'IF YOURE DOING THIS STOP NOW' kinda art vids #im speakin for myself here #but im an artist sifting through art youtube or spaces always willing to learn new ways of improving my art #i dont need to feel click baited like the next 3am don't this kid to learn how to improve my inking skills #if it was more a 'this is my personal preference and I wanna share it with my audience and maybe teach some things' kinda vid #id watch that too #but im just so tired of seeing art youtube going down this need to tell folks 'YOURE DOING IT ALL WRONG.

So Ahsoka is completely opaque to folks who don't know anything about Rebels, huh.

Like anyone who's only watched the live action stuff is going to have no idea what the fuck is happening or who these characters are.

As in most people who watch these Star Wars shows

#ashoka #ashoka series #star wars #I've never watched Rebels and only know who Thrawn is because I read Timothy Zahn's Heir to the Empire trilogy #I have some tiny knowledge from youtube but people like my wife have no idea what the hell is going on

Me: I don't care for Trolls. It's stupid and I hated it since I was a kid. Dazzreviews has a big point about it being mediocre. I'll never watch another Trolls movie besides the first one.

OpefuLee: *Slides into my recommended feed*

Me: ......

Me: Why am I suddenly scrolling through the Trolls tag on Tumblr?

#all it takes is one youtube channel for you to go from a hater to a lowkey fan #or in this case i'm not a fan of the og property but i adore the fandom #it seems that dumb kids media tends to have some of the most fun and endearing fandoms #like it takes a lot of passion to unironically enjoy movies like these and make fan content for it and i admire that #trolls #trolls dreamworks #dreamworks trolls #trolls movie #trolls 2 #trolls 3 #trolls world tour #trolls band together #trollstopia #watched one too many of their 'branch being autistic' videos and now i'm low key kinning #branch trolls #kids movies #kids media

Love this interview... I have been semi-checking in on Zawe's journey since before certain stans were feeling some kinda way about her recent familial additions. I do for certain Black actors/creators especially, who seem to be moving in interesting ways in entertainment/film media...

-A remnant from a period when I used to go to screenings and blog about films (and was published a few times in a major national newspaper)... So, I knew of Zawe through the grapevine of her mentorship, i.e. she is the reason why Rege Jean Page of Bridgerton fame got to work in U.S. markets, as she sponsored him. And she is known, as one of those "good eggs" who will be accessible and help/advise especially young actors of color. ...But, I have some other stuff to say. This isn't about proving that she's an amazing human being. It's about a certain brand of misogynoir that some of these people far beneath her in self-knowledge, self-love, and just plain grown-ass-woman-personhood...keep letting fly in what they *think* are compliments, but actually are just trite microaggressions. Saying things like "as long she makes [T-blank H-blank] happy then she's alright" as if he's the centered human and her attachment renders her worthy somehow. Babies, as long as SHE'S happy. Yall. He's marrying up.

WAY UP and the fact that he knows this? Actually elevates him. She's been there.

She tells a story in the above interview that reminds me of Uzo Aduba's anecdote about her name , - of an incident when she was called to an early job (at 6!) and someone there said she wasn't pretty because of her gap and her Ugandan mother took her on past this person and into the room, ANYWAY.

... She learned a specific self-knowledge and self-love, that is necessary in very white western spaces that constantly pressures a narrow sense of worthiness and beauty, especially from Black women, something a lot of these small-minded stans don't even have a notion of seeing beyond. Zawe is biracial, and her features, aside from her skin tone are very African. So while she benefits from colorism, featurism is something I've seen those bigoted stans, pick on as well. She knows those features are what makes her beautiful and knew that, w/o and before her partner saw that too. And people who aren't blind narrow-minded ignoramuses can *also* see that. This is why I assert the fact of featurism needing to be in the conversation of light/dark privilege conversations. Lips, nose, gap, and even the set of her eyes are ethnic beauty markers within quite a few spaces in the Black African diaspora... My mom was an absolute stunner because of her gap.

Even the old school white model Lauren Hutton got there because of her gap. Uzo Aduba, who I have already mentioned has a deeper skintone and has similarly large round striking eyes, gap, and a non-pinched-nose *rightly* played Glinda in NBC's production of The Wiz a few years back, with Dorothy saying she's so beautiful *because* of those features, not despite them as a very narrow white-washed gaze would wrongly assert.

And while we're here that includes sizes and shapes too. I'm saying your boy is enjoying all that plush. A lot of yall need to read or reread Maya Angelou's Phenomenal Woman, for comprehension.

Anyway... All this to say I know Zawe is and will be fine regardless.

P.S. Maya Angelou *also* had height, and gap and was very much known for her beauty/magnetism as a woman when she was alive. :

#she's as steady in herself as ms. whoopi goldberg is and was back when ALL the comedians even some Black men were picking on her #for her African features meanwhile she pulled whoever she wanted and kept working and has her EGOT #I could also get into the notion that particularly worldly white folk with redhair are more inclined to understand #being picked apart or fetishized for a feature... and can have a leg up on empathy #especially I think when also in the spotlight #she also mentions sinead o'connor who also subverted standards and being an irish woman with her oppressive history pushed back with her ar #zawe ashton #interesting watch #meta #blah #getting ish off my chest #some of yall were comforted by the lie of a certain standard beauty being the only milkshake bringing them to yard #even beyond the misogynoir #grown ups in partnerships and marriages etc value other things and see beauty much differently when they mature. #I'm talking about grown ups some folks never grow to that point sadly #Youtube #I'm so glad she didn't quit acting #and I see TH giving his old theatre school buddies and Black women a word or boost or whatever he did. #...if he had a hand in that #love yourselves because of & not in spite of what you have going on
