[fabaulti]

I think most of us should take the whole ai scraping situation as a sign that we should maybe stop giving google/facebook/big corps all our data and look into alternatives that actually value your privacy.

i know this is easier said than done because everybody under the sun seems to use these services, but I promise you it’s not impossible. In fact, I made a list of a few alternatives to popular apps and services, alternatives that are privacy first, open source and don’t sell your data.

right off the bat I suggest you stop using gmail. it’s trash and not secure at all. google can read your emails. in fact, google has acces to all the data on your account and while what they do with it is already shady, I don’t even want to know what the whole ai situation is going to bring. a good alternative to a few google services is skiff. they provide a secure, e3ee mail service along with a workspace that can easily import google documents, a calendar and 10 gb free storage. i’ve been using it for a while and it’s great.

a good alternative to google drive is either koofr or filen. I use filen because everything you upload on there is end to end encrypted with zero knowledge. they offer 10 gb of free storage and really affordable lifetime plans.

google docs? i don’t know her. instead, try cryptpad. I don’t have the spoons to list all the great features of this service, you just have to believe me. nothing you write there will be used to train ai and you can share it just as easily. if skiff is too limited for you and you also need stuff like sheets or forms, cryptpad is here for you. the only downside i could think of is that they don’t have a mobile app, but the site works great in a browser too.

since there is no real alternative to youtube I recommend watching your little slime videos through a streaming frontend like freetube or new pipe. besides the fact that they remove ads, they also stop google from tracking what you watch. there is a bit of functionality loss with these services, but if you just want to watch videos privately they’re great.

if you’re looking for an alternative to google photos that is secure and end to end encrypted you might want to look into stingle, although in my experience filen’s photos tab works pretty well too.

oh, also, for the love of god, stop using whatsapp, facebook messenger or instagram for messaging. just stop. signal and telegram are literally here and they’re free. spread the word, educate your friends, ask them if they really want anyone to snoop around their private conversations.

regarding browser, you know the drill. throw google chrome/edge in the trash (they really basically spyware disguised as browsers) and download either librewolf or brave. mozilla can be a great secure option too, with a bit of tinkering.

if you wanna get a vpn (and I recommend you do) be wary that some of them are scammy. do your research, read their terms and conditions, familiarise yourself with their model. if you don’t wanna do that and are willing to trust my word, go with mullvad. they don’t keep any logs. it’s 5 euros a month with no different pricing plans or other bullshit.

lastly, whatever alternative you decide on, what matters most is that you don’t keep all your data in one place. don’t trust a service to take care of your emails, documents, photos and messages. store all these things in different, trustworthy (preferably open source) places. there is absolutely no reason google has to know everything about you.

do your own research as well, don’t just trust the first vpn service your favourite youtube gets sponsored by. don’t trust random tech blogs to tell you what the best cloud storage service is — they get good money for advertising one or the other. compare shit on your own or ask a tech savvy friend to help you. you’ve got this.

“I’m scared to pirate stuff - ” do it scared!*

*with Firefox and Adblock and a VPN and -

If you want a nonspecific, nonexhaustive “where do I even start” guide…

Sail the cyber seas at your own risk!

Streaming - “I want to watch xyz”

This is normally what most people want when they talk about pirating.

Use Firefox with uBlock Origin and additional privacy add-ons such as PrivacyBadger, TrackMeNot, etc.

Free VPNs are out there. Get one - but vet it’s efficacy. My go-tos are Proton VPN, or Windscribe if you plan to do a bit of torrenting.

What is torrenting? How does it work? Here’s a guide!

Back to streaming -

Make sure that a) you’ve got your Mozilla browser with all its adblocking private glory, and b) you’ve got a VPN turned on to hide what you’re doing in that browser from your ISP (internet service provider).

Now you need to actually find a site to stream from. This is the tricky part, because openly sharing these sites will get them taken down if they’re talked about widely enough. (Remember how tiktok idiots got zlibrary taken down?)

You’re going to have to talk to people on forums. You’re going to have to experiment with sites you find yourself. Search for ‘x online free’ and look at the links that come up - is the preview text mangled or clickbaitey? Are there Reddit threads about that website confirming or denying its content? A good rule of thumb is to ignore the top result or two - copycats of good streaming sites will often buy out the top result spot. Eventually, you’ll develop a good gut feeling and understanding of what a good site ‘looks like’ from the results page alone.

However, there are some places that compile good sites that haven’t been nuked by lawyers (yet) - check out r/FMHY! The masterposts are actively curated and updated when a site goes down or is found to have malicious downloads.

Remember - loose lips sink ships. No tweeting (xeeting?) or Facebook statuses about your new favorite piracy website and where you found it. Even posting to tumblr (kind of like this…) isn’t a great idea if you want those websites to stay under the radar and stay accessible. Nobody talks, everybody walks (away with their share of pirate booty)

If you aren’t downloading media, pick pretty much any site and watch away! Adblock and Firefox will keep away pop-ups and other annoying ads, and your VPN means your ISP can’t tell that you’re visiting an unofficial streaming service.

Note: In my experience, I’ve never heard of visiting a site and watching stuff on it infecting or otherwise compromising your computer. That tends to come from misclicks on invisible or overwhelming pop-up ads that redirect you to an automatic download or similarly malicious bullshit. If you’re using Firefox and uBlock, you shouldn’t be in any danger of an accidental redirect.

Downloads - “I want to keep xyz”

This is the realm of pirate archiving - you’re keeping files physically on your hard drive, an external hard drive, or burning a disk.

Adblock + Firefox browser? Check. VPN on? Check.

Go to your streaming site of choice - most if not all have download options. You can download those files or, manually, right click and save the video file from the webpage as an mp4. I honestly don’t know if there’s a difference in quality or more danger in clicking the download buttons, but regardless -

Run that puppy through VirusTotal.com! It’s a reliable browser based virus checker - if the file is too large, use a local virus checking program (your native Windows Defender on Windows computers or, I prefer, Malwarebytes)

Generally mp4 and mp3 files are clean - choose where to save them for the long term, and bam! Free forever media.

Optionally, I also upload mp4 files to a named Google document - this way I can easily share them or make them findable through a ‘xyz Google doc’ search for others :]

Torrents - “I want to keep and share xyz”

I’m not going to go into this subject in depth because, honestly, it’s not something I do regularly.

See the previously linked Torrenting guide for information on how the process works, and check out r/FMHY for recommendations and warnings about different torrenting clients (I’ve personally only used qBittorrent - I’ve heard to stay away from the Pirate Bay and Bittorrent.)

As with streaming, turn on that VPN baby! You’re going to need one that supports peer-to-peer (p2p) connections, so Proton’s free version is a no-go. Windscribe is what I’ve used for torrenting (and it’s a good free VPN on its own - I’m just partial to Proton). You get 10GB every month on Windscribe’s free version, which is more than enough for a few movies/a season or two of your favorite show.

(Bigger torrents like video games are easily 30+ GB, so be prepared to either pay for a no-limit premium account or spend a few months downloading your files in chunks.)

VPN on? Double check.

Boot up your torrenting client - I use a slightly out of date version of qBittorent, but there are other options. The Reddit thread and previously linked torrenting guide have a few dos and donts of selecting a client, so be thorough before you download your client of choice.

This is getting into the logistics of torrenting a bit, so forgive me if this is vague or incorrect, but now you need a torrent seed. These will be .tor files found through pirating websites or archives - these are rarely malicious, but it’s good to run any piracy related download through something like VirusTotal.com or scan it with a local program like Malwarebytes.

You open your seed file in your client and wait. A ‘healthy’ seed tends to have lots of seeders and few leeches, but sometimes you’re stuck with an obscure seed you just have to wait for.

Your torrented files have fully downloaded! Now what? a) keep your client open and seed those files for others as long as you want to - sharing is caring! and b) run those files through a security program like Malwarebytes (not sponsored it’s just the only program I’m familiar with).

Be wary of what gets flagged - sometimes the files seem important, but are just trojans, and likewise sometimes they seem malicious, but are just cracked software getting flagged by your system. It’s good to check and see if others have had a problem with this particular torrent before - Reddit threads from 2008 are your long dead friends.

And that’s about it. Feel free to correct me if anything I’ve recommended is malicious or outright wrong. I’ve been doing this for years and haven’t had an active problem to my knowledge, so if there is something fishy with how I do things, I am a statistical outlier and should not be counted.

I wish you smooth sailing and strong winds in your ventures me hearties!

Obligatory ‘don’t pirate small author’s or artist’s works what the fuck dude’ statement.

hello can you please share us the pictures of keiko in Yodel ? thanks in advance :)

Hi there!

YES and NO. I will share them eventually, that's for sure. As you all probably know, I don't really believe in gate-keeping and I've already shared a bunch of Yodel content with you whenever I thought it was important. But I'm not planning to share the entire thing any time soon so you'll have to be patient a little while longer.

I myself haven't been a member for THAT long. I only joined in November last year so I missed out on more than a year worth of good content (a small blessing is that Keiko seems to not have been as active in the app back then as she is now). Side note: Unfortunately, you only get access to the last couple of posts and not the entire archive when you join Yodel. Anyways, this is one reason that has kept me from posting anything substantial yet. I always strive to have complete collections of my Kalafina stuff but it kills me that for Yodel, I'll probably never achieve that.

Also, the app makes it quite hard to get hold of all the content. For example, there's some sort of restriction that prevents screen recordings of videos so I have no way of saving those. Thankfully, screenshots are possible but you can't properly download high-res photos. Then there's the question of what to do with all of her messages. I do make screenshots of some of the more profound and/or interesting stuff but I don't know what to do with the rest.

Additionally, there's the whole matter of finding a good timing for a cut-off or figuring out WHEN to share WHAT. Since Keiko posts so frequently, sometimes with multiple updates per day, it's almost impossible for me to find a good schedule for my blog. I obviously wouldn't want to update whenever she does. I've even abandoned doing that for other stuff the girls do on social media because sometimes there's just too much happening and it's usually very generic and not really worthwhile. These days, I try to limit my blog posts to the essential content such as news or basically anything that's a little more exciting than the usual stuff.

When it comes to fan club content (that I consider to be rather insignificant - nice to have but no real substance to it), I tend to wait a while so a fair amount of content can accumulate. For example, I think I only made one post with Keiko's NikuChoco videos last year because there was no point in making a post for each individual upload throughout the year. Makes life so much easier for me and it keeps my blog "cleaner" if you know what I mean. I'll probably do a similar thing for Yodel. Once the year is done, I'll gather all the screenshots and upload them to Google Drive. it won't be a perfect cut of course since that folder will also contain the photos from November/December of 2024 but oh well, that's the best I can do. And then it will be a clean start for 2026.

Having said all that, there's no time like the present!!

❗SUPPORT KEIKO and JOIN her FAN CLUB. Detailed TUTORIAL❗

Why not use this opportunity to join Keiko's fan club and get a serial code for the Yodel app? I know there are many hurdles and it is very difficult for us overseas fans but those of us who are hardcore fans of Keiko and want to support her in any way possible should really consider making the effort. I've not always had the best opinion of apps like Yodel and I am still not the biggest fan but I honestly don't regret joining, especially now that Keiko has switched her social media activities almost entirely to the app. It seems like you are similarly eager to get access to as much Keiko-content as possible so I would say it's worth a shot. I am aware that many people in the overseas fandom rely very heavily on me (sometimes to a point where they are no longer willing to invest anything themselves which is very regretful) and as long as I love my girls, I will definitely continue to share everything on my blog but I always want to encourage people to take things into their own hands!! What happens in the unlikely event that I fall out of love with the girls? Or what if I die tomorrow? Or my blog gets reported and subsequently deleted by one of my haters? Things can change so quickly so it's best to build a foundation for yourself. You never know when your fan club membership will come in handy! You can do it! It's intimating but I've written a very detailed tutorial on how to become a "NikuChoco = Meat&Chocolate" member. Below is my most recent post about it (including some info on Yodel). I am happy to share more infos on the whole Yodel process but most of the stuff, you can look up online since it would be the same as getting any other Japan-only app from an app store.

In Concert

Marketers always like to think that their brand is eternal, that it will never die and will forever be recognized and known by future generations.

Yeah. It’s a nice dream if you can get it to come true.

So when I read this morning that the old Napster name had been sold for $207 million to Infinite Reality, my eyes perked up. You have to be of a certain age to know what Napster was, probably born 1992 or earlier.

Napster was founded in 1999 as a music sharing platform. It came at a time when high-speed internet was becoming more readily available, and all desktop and laptop computers had CD-ROM drives. Users would upload songs from their device, which would then be shareable (read: downloadable) among the masses. You could build a significant music collection without spending much at all.

As you might expect, artists and industry alike were not too keen on this. The RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America) started suing people, from 8-year-old girls to grandmothers, for stealing music, or at least aiding and abetting in that activity. Napster was shut down in 2001. The brand was sold several times in the intervening years, and repositioned as a music streaming service, although it never took off like Spotify and later Apple Music did.

So tell me…how many of you even knew about Napster? Whatever brand equity it had faded long ago into the sunset.

But the new owner has grand plans to relaunch as a virtual 3D space where users can have listening parties and even concert experiences online. You know what? I love this idea, especially at a time when concert ticket prices for top acts have soared into the many hundreds and even thousands of dollars.

The idea is not new, because it was during COVID that virtual concerts became a thing. I remember watching Trans-Siberian Orchestra and Blackberry Smoke on my own big screen, although I did not have the option of interacting with fellow listeners very well. You could post comments to a social media page, and they would show on the side of the screen, but that’s it.

The new offering from Infinite raises the bar considerably because of shared experiences. While it may never be quite the same as actually going to a concert—I love me some live music—it helps solve the problems of high ticket prices, plus the fact that hardly anyone who is good ever comes to Amarillo. Well, except maybe on their washed-up tour when they need a few bucks to supplement Social Security.

And…perhaps most importantly…this cures the problem of those rude people around you disrupting the show, constantly getting up to fetch a beer or visit the water closet, and otherwise making for a sub-optimal concert experience. I hate it when that happens.

The real question is whether the Napster brand still has any equity. Among those in their early-30s and older, Napster was a household word, even if it only existed in its original state for two years.

On the other hand, since this might be a new brand name for many people, it is a lot like starting from scratch. Yes, it typically costs more money to establish a new brand than to leverage an old one—assuming it isn’t tarnished—but now Infinite has the opportunity to reinvent, redefine, and start anew. There is some negative baggage associated with the brand name, simply because of the lawsuits. You don’t have to drill very far down the Google results to stumble into all of those long-archived news reports about poor Grandma getting hauled into court.

More broadly, we must consider whether music fans will consider this a viable alternative to attending concerts. I have become so accustomed to driving to Lubbock, OKC, and DFW for shows that I actually kind of like the inconvenience of it all, because I can roll a concert into a long weekend filled with other activities. No problema.

Infinite has plans to leverage not just live music, but also social applications, merchandise, and shopping. In some regards, it takes the idea of TikTok Lives and runs with it, creating virtual hangouts much like the Clubhouse app did during COVID. They are wildly optimistic.

Since the new Napster brings with it the possibility of asynchronous viewing, it raises questions about how much fun it would be to watch a concert that is not in real time. It’s kind of like watching the DVRd March Madness game you missed last Saturday. There is much to be said for being in the moment.

All that aside, I like this. Although no hint of price tiers was mentioned for concert streaming, as long as it isn’t outrageously expensive, I can see this being successful, as long as there is a constant stream—pun intended—of new content.

But I’m going to have rules in my house. There will be no walking in front of me to grab another beer while the show is going on. And if you do need to visit the water closet, make sure you walk behind me and keep it down. Disruptive concertgoers are a pain no matter where you are viewing.

sorry in advance for the lengthy comment but this post gave me some thoughts that i hope you don't mind me sharing! i'll be honest, i did still have disney plus until recently and was holding off on cancelling it because i was sharing my account with several of my friends. but then bob iger's greedy ass decided to start charging a fee for sharing your password AND hiked up the price of the subscription so i finally cancelled because my friends and i can all easily pirate stuff and i do not plan on resubbing just for the twst anime!! bob iger also recently admitted that they raised the price of the regular disney plus subscription specifically because advertisers have been getting more interested in streaming so they wanted to try and push people to move to the cheaper ad-supported plan. there's a bunch of old shows they don't even bother to put on there. it's not worth it and if anyone wanted to learn how to torrent i'd be happy to try and show them how easy it is.

however the main thing i wanted to say is that this post reminded me of how when tangled the series was still coming out, it released on the disneyNOW site and if you had disney channel through a TV provider you could watch it on there as soon as it came out. so there were people in the fandom who would screen record it and then upload it on google drive or mega and post the link to it in the tags every time an episode came out so people who didn't have a way to legally watch it could still see it and discuss the new episode with everyone else ASAP. of course the situation here is a bit different since we're asking people to NOT watch the twst anime legally if they can help it, but this has me thinking maybe it'd be good if the twst fandom could make a similar effort to share pirated episodes of the anime for people who might not know how to get them or might not be able to do so on their own for whatever reason. or, if someone still had disney plus because for example their parents are paying for it and they aren't able to make the choice to cancel it, then they could screen record it and share it if they knew how. personally whenever i need to download anime torrents i get them from nyaa.si and i already know i will be checking there as early as possible for the twst anime episodes, so there's a chance that i could upload them and share them--but google drive and mega both have such small storage limits for free users, i probably wouldn't be able to keep every episode uploaded in one place.

Ok but NO MATTER WHAT

I NEED YALL to pirate this

Recently downloaded vsdc and i must say its...quite slow for me. Maybe because i sped up my video alot?

Its like dragging around heavy thing slow lol

I must say in comparison VN is alot more smoother and quicker despite me saving the file to google drive from pc just so i could use it on my phone (with VN)

Also exporting takes forever with vsdc

how to download (and mirror and transcribe) youtube videos

so the news that google is deleting inactive youtube channels was a miscommunication -- "Additionally, we do not have plans to delete accounts with YouTube videos at this time" (source, emphasis mine). but i hope this was a wake up call that archiving videos (and other content) you care about is really important. buy hard drives, save, reshare. videos dont stay up forever. youtube isnt forever.

i know how difficult it is to get into downloading videos, with how all youtube to mp4 websites seem to be broken. this post compiles general guides on how to manually download youtube videos (among other actions) through python programs. it's simple if you just follow the steps and constantly search the errors you encounter. i will also detail how i personally do it with my windows 10 pc, in case you use the same tools.

remember: your search engine, reddit, github, and help commands are your best friends.

how to download the best quality mp4

how to download videos from a search result

how to use command prompt

what is command prompt? this is a windows application where you navigate folders and run programs. you just type a command and hit enter. ctrl+c ends a command/program, ctrl+s pauses it (pressing any key unpauses)

how do i navigate folders? the basic commands are so: a) cd "[path]" to change directory (always put path and link names in double quotes so they are processed properly), b) cd .\.. takes you to the previous folder (ex: if you're in C:\folder A\folder B and run cd .\.. you go to C:\folder A), c) you can go to other drives by typing the letter and colon (ex: if you are in C:, typing D: then entering takes you to your D drive). this is important because where your python programs are stored is where you have to run them.

how to run python programs through cmd prompt? a) download the latest version of python. b) use pip to install programs. c) make sure you have also downloaded a program's dependencies (analogous to "pre-requisites"). d) type the program name then the command.

make sure to always update python and pip.

how to use yt-dlp to download youtube videos

how to get download yt-dlp? this guide worked perfectly for me. make sure to download all python programs in the same folder.

navigate to the folder you installed yt-dlp

the following are examples of commands you can use:

yt-dlp -h -- get a list of all commands

yt-dlp "[link]" -- download video as is (often in webm format)

yt-dlp "[link]" -f "bestvideo[ext=mp4]+bestaudio[ext=m4a]/best[ext=mp4]/best" -- download the highest quality mp4 video (highest possible in mp4 is 1080p)

yt-dlp -x --audio-format mp3 "[link]" -- download audio only as mp3

yt-dlp -i "[playlist link]" -- download a full playlist (you may also use the best quality command here)

yt-dlp -i "[playlist link]" --playlist-items [range] -- download range of playlist items

look at the guides at the top of this section for my ideas of what you can do with yt-dlp. you can even use yt-dlp to download from other websites

note: if you want to download instagram reels, you must include: --cookies-from-browser [firefox / chrome / etc] -- choose your browser

** mirroring youtube videos to archive.org

Yaga’s biggest headache? This quartet right here. Mostly just Gojo, but everyone plays a special part in Yaga’s headache.

Any try guys fans? Anyway, you know that one try guys video where it’s what type of friend you are?

Shoko: the grandpa

Geto: the adult

Reader: the teenager

Gojo: the child :)

The group chat name currently is “the fantastic foursome 👯‍♀️👯‍♂️” courtesy of Gojo because he keeps changing it back every time someone changes it.

Friday night hangouts/movie nights are a must and if they don’t happen, Gojo whines and whines until y’all end up actually doing something. Imagine the presentation nights with these guys:

Gojo: disney milfs I’d let destroy me respectfully

Shoko: crimes my friends have committed but I’m just too lazy to report them.

Geto: pictures of my friends that I will leak to the Internet if they ever do me dirty

Shoko and reader have most definitely rescued and raised a kitten together once. You haven’t brought it up to either of the boys because they are loud mouthed hooligans. Eventually Gojo finds out and tells Geto. You have to bribe them both not to tell Yaga. What happens the next day? Gojo accidentally rats you out to Yaga. Good news, Yaga reluctantly lets you keep the cat (don’t tell Yaga but he secretly loves the kitty.). Gojo steals the kitten right out of you and or Shokos hands and takes a nap with it resting in his chest.

Geto and reader have a book club and they are the only members. I just think that Geto has really good taste in books and gives great recs. And that’s how your two person book club came about. There have been multiple occasions where Gojo has walked in on you and Geto having an absolute cry fest over a really sad book. Did you and Geto throw books at him so he would leave? Yes. Did Gojo complain about the paper cut to Shoko until she healed it? Also yes.

Gojo forces you to go on snack runs with him. Whether that be snacks for yourselves or for the group on movie nights. Craving a snack in the middle of the night? So is Gojo and that is why you’re both sneaking off campus to grab snacks. One time you both got caught by Yaga, but bribed him with snacks this resulted in your punishment being not as severe.

If your technique requires you to go on missions with Gojo and Geto, you’re in for a rollercoaster. These two hot menaces cannot for the life of them be serious when they are together. Let's be honest you too aren’t as serious when on missions. Whether this be you and Gojo having a photo shoot with the curse you just killed, or you and Geto roasting the curse and cackling at each other. The shenanigans are 24/7 with these two. You get hurt though? All hell breaks loose. Geto is right by your side immediately making sure you’re ok while Gojo is going absolutely feral in the curse that hurt you.

Or maybe your technique relies on you to hang with Shoko? Your days are chill listening to a playlist you both created together while practicing your technique and messing with the underclassmen (with love of course.). This also makes you the first two people Geto and Gojo come to after a mission if they got hurt or roughed up. Geto is usually fine but Gojo is the biggest baby you’ll meet and milks the tiniest bruises. “Omg y/n 🥺🥺 I got a cut on my hand will you fix it 🥺🥺” queue you examining Gojo’s hand and it’s the size of a paper cut.

Road trips? Gojo is on snack duty, Geto is in charge of driving and planning the trip, Shoko is in charge of music and you’re there for the vibes. Geto handed his phone to Gojo for one second while pumping gas which resulted in you guys spamming his phone with selfies, Gojo downloading games on his phone, and accidentally closing out of Google maps. Geto never handed his phone to Gojo again. Don’t tell Geto but his wallpaper is now if you, Gojo, and Shoko are lovingly flipping off the camera.

Gojo makes thirst traps often and sends them to the group chat before uploading it. This is y’all’s time to shine and bully him out of love…of course. He pouts but eventually posts them. Queue you guys commenting things like “Sir this is a Wendy’s drive through.” “Mom come get me I’m scared 😀” “Girl I- 😟”

For Halloween, Gojo makes everyone dress up like this. He won’t allow any other option.

hihi! kinda sorta unsolicited advice, but as someone who also has a bit of a mixed style myself (as in sometimes doing my sketches and lineart traditionally in my sketchbook, taking a photo of it and doing the rest digitally on my phone) and does speedpaints every now and then, i’d always recommend ibispaintx!! you can directly import the images of your sketches as a new canvas and work over them; that’s what i usually do for mine if i don’t freehand sketches digitally. it also has a built-in feature for recording and downloading the timelapse of the work, but screen recording is also always an option if your phone has that option. i usually prefer screen recording the entire digital process, omitting the traditional part, though. i normally only resort to using the timelapse if i wasn’t planning on making a speedpaint of a piece but i just wanted to make sure my channel doesn’t seem dead lol. but it works and it’s nice! you can choose what speed to export it in, too.

of course, the editing and uploading process is a bit different and also depends on what you have at your disposal. after combining all my clips (i tend to work on stuff on and off) in imovie and exporting the full thing, i transfer it to my computer via google drive and edit it with my computer’s default video editing software (microsoft clipchamp), which has enough templates for the simple type of videos i tend to upload. my old computer’s default video software worked fine too; i’m sure there’s simple apps that could be used too; i just prefer to have the final thing edited and uploaded from my computer.

of course, i’m a diehard ibis fan. been using that app for six years now lol

and this isn’t to say that you have to do anything!!! of course that choice is completely up to you!! i just thought i’d drop my process/recommendations if you choose to look into it!

hi there!! random question but do you have a youtube by chance? you have such fun designs and such a cool style, i think i’d really enjoy watching your process in the form of speedpaints or whatever else you might enjoy doing :3

OH HELLO, I’LL CRY!!

This is super sweet and absolutely made my day, thank you TT^TT

Unfortunately I don’t have a YouTube, and admittedly probably won’t have one for a long time… I’d love to do speedpaints, but at the moment, my art process is uhh a little less than traditional lol, so that would be very difficult to pull off. I do my lineart traditionally (on a piece of physical paper), then scan it with my phone to color and shade it and add effects via phone apps haha.

I have been searching for a good art app to hopefully make the change fully to digital art… So it might be something I do in the future if I can find a good program that won’t bankrupt me lol! But I wouldn’t get your hopes up, unfortunately

Why I use Google Docs

So when I started my A Levels I realised pretty quickly that I was not going to be able to only handwrite notes and keep up with everything. Therefore, I knew I needed to find a solution. I decided to try using Google Docs - which I had never used before - and I really quickly realised that it was exactly what I was looking for! 

I now use it for almost all of my digital notes and it is a lifesaver for keeping on top of all my content-heavy subjects - particularly history.

I also use it to make all my essay plans and it has helped me develop a notetaking system that is perfect for my humanities subjects because it promotes making links between topics and deepens understanding.

Hopefully, these next few slides will tell you all you need to know about taking notes on Google Docs!

What I love

It's completely free!

Simple interface which isn't distracting

I personally also think it looks really professional and I always feel more Academic™️ when I use it compared to Word

Automatically saves to Google Drive when you are working online - no more losing work accidentally because you forgot to save

Syncs across all my devices immediately - which means I can type them on my laptop at home and revise my notes just from my phone while travelling without having to think about sending notes

Access using a browser so no need to install software

There are loads of great templates to use which makes your notes really easy to format

There are also lots of add ons to make sure you have everything you need

When you use titles and headings (which is way easier to use than in Word I've found), it automatically creates a document outline which makes your document easily navigable

You can work on documents collaboratively by simply sharing a link which is so useful for any projects or group work

There is unlimited storage

What I dislike

The spell and grammar check isn't as sophisticated as in Word

It can take some time to get used to some of the features because they are slightly different from other notetaking sites

It is more difficult to share as a document with other people, such as teachers. You will most likely need to convert to a Word file

You need to get add-ons for some functions which are just normal in Word and other notetaking sites - the one that personally irritates me the most is adding accents to letters

You can't link Docs with any other cloud-storage service. If you already use another service and want to share a Docs file through that service, you need to download the file and then upload it to your preferred cloud service

Although you can use it offline (you might have seen some people say you can't), you can't create a new document and you do perhaps run the risk of things not saving properly

Overall, however, the advantages hugely outweigh these disadvantages and honestly most of these 'issues' don't really bother me!  

Templates

The templates on Google Docs are probably one of my favourite features! There are lots of great built-in templates that you can choose from so it is really easy to set up your notes in a way that is organised and will look nice. You can also simply search google for more templates. Moreover, it is really easy to personalise and edit these templates to make them work for you!

I personally use a mixture of different 'class notes' templates and 'lesson plan' ones because I think they work the same. What I really like is how each has a colour and font scheme so it is easy to distinguish between different subjects. They also all have pre-made heading styles as part of the notes to help you easily form your document outline.

My Notetaking System: Cascading Bullet Points

In my experience, this is the most effective notetaking system for humanities/essay-based subjects and I've not found a site where it works as well as on Google Docs. But what are cascading bullet points? 

Essentially, the system uses typical bullet points to separate and organise information but also adds development. For each new level of information, you ident so you see the progression of the argument. You keep doing this with every new stage of information. I swear by this system for notetaking because it forces you to essentially organise your notes into essay-style paragraphs (point, evidence, explanation etc.) but still is in useful note form. It is also easy to create comprehensive essay plans because your notes are already organised into key ideas with development. 

Example:

Heading

1st main point

Sub-point

Development

Definition

Specific Example

Sub-point

Argument against

Specific Example

Significance

Why is Google Docs so good for this system?

Basically, the bullet points on Google Docs just work really well and there are never any formating issues - unlike what I've experienced in Word for example. Furthermore, the notetaking templates and the way the information is on the page is ideal for this system.

hello, thanks for uploading the audio rip of kaji fes day 1 and 2! is it possible if you make a ISO image rip of the Bluray and create a torrent file for it ? :) we usually download some ISO from jpopsuki just few days after release but somehow nobody have uploaded ISO of kajifes there yet XD

Hello there. Sorry for the delay, I've been holding off on replying to your question for a while. To be fair, when I saw this in my inbox just a DAY after my response to the Kaji Fes. MP3 ask, I was more than a little annoyed.

It's not like your message is inherently rude or anything (in fact, it's a bit more polite than the usual stuff I get) but it tells me TWO things about you:

You either purposefully ignored everything I wrote in that Kaji Fes. MP3 post or you never actually saw my original post and got the download link from someone who reposted it to another site. If you had made an effort to read my response from a few days ago, you would know that I always planned to share rips but first, I needed to receive my package. People are really out there thinking I have immediate access to everything. That is a misconception! The truth is, just like so many of us, I am at the mercy of endless shipping/customs procedures and have to wait very long for stuff to arrive at my place. Then I need to find the time to do all the ripping/encoding while working a full-time job and also having a life.

You've never actually visited my blog and thought it would be a good idea to use your first time here to make a huge request. I seriously doubt that you are one of my regular followers or lurkers because in all of my years running this blog, I've never ever provided t0rrents so I have no idea where you would get that idea from. Yes, I share a lot of content but I do this by uploading reasonably HQ files in converted formats to Google Drive for archival purposes. Early on, I considered providing ISO files but they proved to be too troublesome to handle on a personal cloud (they take too long to upload/download and use up way too much storage space - I already pay more than enough for my current plan). Also, I wholeheartedly believe that those who want raw files should simply BUY the Blu-rays and do the ripping themselves. You can't have high standards like that and not be willing to invest the necessary money and time. Contrary to what people may believe (based on the content I share), I am a big proponent of supporting artists by buying their releases. My main goal is to make life easier for overseas fans who struggle to overcome the countless hurdles between us and Japanese media but that certainly doesn't entail providing everything in the highest quality imaginable. To sum things up, all you can ever expect on my blog are encoded files which should have high enough quality to satisfy the vast majority of people.

Anyway, enough about that. I have good news! My package FINALLY arrived yesterday. BANZAI! Depending on how busy I am, I will hopefully be able to get the files uploaded by Thursday *fingers crossed*

Hello everyone, yes, I finally did it! I made new free 3D models for the undertale community! Edit: Added a video so people see what's that about =P

This time, featuring Papyrus and Sans with a brand new face! Yay! Making Papyrus was quite the challenge, haha! The goal is to use them on a Free 3D animation website called Mixamo to create infinite boney references!

Here is the full tutorial on how to use them on Mixamo. Don't hesitate to ask questions if you are lost! Since it is suuuuper long, I'll add it under the cut with extra crediting info and the link to the models!

Here are the links to the 4 models! The ones named "fullanatomy" are naked you are warned. The others are those shown above.

Yes, they are 100% free. The only thing I ask is to respect the hours of work that went into it by crediting me on Tumblr: @lenne13 or @lenne13artblog on Twitter: @LTenkei, or on DA @13-Lenne-13. If you use them on any other platforms, just link any I guess? XD Whatever you are the most comfortable with. The Undertale community is very respectful though, and I never had problems with people using my models without proper credit, I trust you marvelous artist!

If you do a comic, you don't have to credit me on all the pages. Just do it once on your first page; that's more than enough! I'm super curious what'll you'll all do with it! Ah, small precisions. You can use it for nsfw, but please don't tag me in nsfw art. I am an sfw blog, I know you sinners, but there are kids around here =P

You can use those 3D models anywhere, not only in Mixamo, but I wanted to show people how you can use 3D models in Mixamo to create 2D references.

Don't hesitate to download the full image on google drive to zoom in on it. (I could not upload it in one single image here as it was too long it might be more convenient this way) Using your phone helps too as it’s super easy to zoom on the pics there!

Additional notes: The 3D models have invisible spheres parts on the pelvis and the hands. They are only there because Mixamo doesn't read the models well without them. 

If you plan on using the 3D models for your own 3D project on Maya or Blender, you can just delete those. 

However, if you plan on using 3D clothes with physics on them, you'll need to add more invisible spheres, especially on the chest, because clothes physics and ribs do not mix well AT ALL. I tried >w>

Careful the models don’t have UVs, they are simply painted with Lambert materials if you want custom textures you’ll need to do the UVs. The topology is not too shabby so you should be able to do it easily.

There! That should be all of it!

If you read until there as usual I love you! How about posting three turtle emojis to show me you did! 🐢 🐢 🐢

About Gif's (IMPORTANT):

I realized there's no way to download my gif's on Tumblr =((

So, if somebody's want to download those Gif's, I've made Google Drive for them =⁣⁣P : https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1m0dEsKPuFPbn4B5MIsFlAsmkBjXxmION?usp=sharing

(I haven't forget about people from Unikitty fandom =⁣⁣) )

Also, I'm uploading new gif's If I made some, and I plan to upload the best gifs on Tenor =D!

Lost and Found

I’ve had a crazy experience in the last few days.

For reasons we might talk about in another time, I had to upload some of my latest recordings, I mean the naughty ones, ones I’ve never posted, to google drive to temporary storage. They filled up the 2 google accounts I had so I had to make a 3rd one.

My main account is babypp2015 as I started CDing back in 2015. Naturally I tried using babypp2021 but it was taken (who are you babypp2021 though? :P) . Well fine let me preoccupy babypp2022 then. To my surprise that’s also taken! Sure I could’ve taken 2023 then(but I didn’t, as I later found out). Anyway I made a new account and uploaded my stuff.

Fast forward to about 2 weeks later, I needed to get all the stuff back from the google drives. Problem was, you guess it, I’ve totally forgotten what the name of my 3rd account was!

It’s not babypp2021 I’m sure (and of course I tried), not 2022, and as I said not 2023 as that’s still not taken when I tried, though I’ve then taken it as to try refreshing my memory of the account setup progress. And then I tried names related to my 2nd account, with years or months related to me, related to Hong Kong, still nope.

And it’s because I’ve been a good girl, I'd been doing all my naughty browsing in incognito browsers. I was also so careful not to leave traces of my other accounts or phone so I didn’t enter a recovery email or phone number for the 3rd account. And I’m also no longer in the same network as when I was last using that account. All these mean I had absolutely no way of recovering it!

I’d spent hours trying different names and different ways to recover the account, I was devastated. I started going through the 5 stages of grief, planning what to say on twitter or tumblr, etc, etc.

There were recordings of 5 different sessions that I uploaded to the 3 accounts. The lost files are all about the 4th session, one that I spent the most effort in. That’s why it took up all 15gb of google drive space, and actually the last file could not be included there and had to be uploaded to one of my first two accounts. To add insult to injury, I checked the recycle bin of my phone, I had actually forgotten to clean the videos from the 5th session off. So if it was the 5th sessions’ files that were lost, I would still have copies.

So, with only the last video of that session in hand, I was thinking things like, “well, at least I had the cumming part to show” and “this session was actually not that great, I looked weird in it” (I still think so, ‘coz of the modified mask). I captured the above shot from the video, but had no mood to write.

Another day gone by, some more trying and guessing of account names, nay. I’ve accepted that sometimes you lose things in life you cannot ever get back. Let there be 15gb of homemade crossdresser porn no one will ever see stored in a server harddrive somewhere in the world then.

But as the title spoiled it for you, then it was found! 

Last night, I was trying again, and it didn’t even take me many tries, I got my 3rd account’s name right! It is babypphk! Glory to Hong Kong! God bless Hong Kong!

All 15gb of videos, downloaded, saved back to my computer. Added recovery email to the account, though I doubt that I will ever need the account again. What a relief. I rewarded myself by watching some sissy hypno vids online, but I didn’t allow myself an orgasm, just trying to stay horny for a bit. And it’s been so cold I haven’t attended to my body hair for a while, feels like I don’t deserve to cum without a smooth body, told you I’m a good girl, hehe.
