it just really sucks being a fan of a server of primarily youtubers that write & want to create stories on an smp but then never share their stories. theres such a big focus on the smp space to create highly artistic movies that document every step of the plan & algorithmically it makes sense to do so, but the viewers lose so much from it that part of me wonders if they should even care. the lsers put such a stress on this style of video & complain about how much work it is and how long it takes to edit, so they dont upload for like 8 months or longer because they have to focus on everything that happened in an arc that spans into double digit povs, hundreds of hours of conversations that happen on & off camera, and months of playing the actual game.

like the uploads are so infrequent, the audience can't stay invested unless they choose to seek out streams. people will make their day/week 1 videos & they are GENUINELY entertaining despite no lore, and then drop off once interesting things happen because they dont want to make videos on it until theyre sure its over.

with each season it just keeps getting worse cause theyre too afraid to spoil things for their videos when highlight videos are not hard to apply a theme/story arc to. minute does pretty good at locking in & releasing videos regularly but like right now the joker arc started & its really interesting but realistically i have no way to introduce friends who want to watch to it unless im willing to wait probably like 4 months minimum. a month for the arc to end, and another 2-3 for someone to make a video on it.

if youre a lifesteal youtube viewer only, you can watch the videos that exist but you have no context to the void arc really and watching mapiccs jumpings on jumper are cool but lack the story driven stakes that someone like zam has really carefully planned out in his streams. each stream has a focus & story-drive that can be reasonably condensed into highlights that build & keep the tension each new stream does & for very little work, and with the information even streams dont have access to, you can still edit and upload a huge story recap at the end of the arc/server that is beautiful and artistic and designed to hit the algorithm with the force of a thousand suns like i just dont understand what the aversion to highlights is. especially if youre never going to upload vods somewhere or plan on omitting/lying in your story videos. its so irritating as a viewer & thats not even starting on the way these giant story recaps are paced awkwardly or completely lacking in the actual, real conversations that take place. things that have good clips get replaced by narration & voiced replay shots and it sucks cause you lose so much of the natural magic that comes with the minecraft roleplay youre planning & improving when you stream and. AUGH angry angry angry angry

im mad & not being super fair cause. i understand the content grind & all the thought that goes into it especially when these are 17-19 year olds with very little drive and discipline and this is most likely not the highest priority in their lives depending on family/work/school/uni/etc but whatever im allowed to be mad on my blog

Weirdly Specific Artist Ask Game

Didn't see a lot of artist ask games, wanted to make a silly one.

(I wrote this while sick out of my mind last year and it's been collecting dust in my drafts, I might as well let it run free) 1. Art programs you have but don't use

2. Is it easier to draw someone facing left or right (or forward even)

3. What ideas come from when you were little

4. Fav character/subject that's a bitch to draw

5. Estimate of how much of your art you post online vs. the art you keep for yourself

6. Anything that might inspire you subconsciously (i.e. this horse wasn't supposed to look like the Last Unicorn but I see it)

7. A medium of art you don't work in but appreciate

8. What's an old project idea that you've lost interest in

9. What are your file name conventions

10. Favorite piece of clothing to draw

11. Do you listen to anything while drawing? If so, what

12. Easiest part of body to draw

13. A creator who you admire but whose work isn't your thing

14. Any favorite motifs

15. *Where* do you draw (don't drop your ip address this just means do you doodle at a park or smth)

16. Something you are good at but don't really have fun doing

17. Do you eat/drink when drawing? if so, what

18. An estimate of how much art supplies you've broken

19. Favorite inanimate objects to draw (food, nature, etc.)

20. Something everyone else finds hard to draw but you enjoy

21. Art styles nothing like your own but you like anyways

22. What physical exercises do you do before drawing, if any

23. Do you use different layer modes

24. Do your references include stock images

25. Something your art has been compared to that you were NOT inspired by

26. What's a piece that got a wildly different interpretation from what you intended

27. Do you warm up before getting to the good stuff? If so, what is it you draw to warm up with

28. Any art events you have participated in the past (like zines)

29. Media you love, but doesn't inspire you artistically

30. What piece of yours do you think is underrated
