INFO POST

Name: Kylee (they/them). 30+

A totally normal Korean American mostly known for my drawings, specifically my Pokemon nuzlocke comics. But I will talk about other things on occasion because I do have periods of being fixated on certain topics. I also am a doctor!

Interests: Pokemon, League of Legends (everything except the game lmao), Fire Emblem, Advance Wars, Animal Crossing, Mother series, Korean history/culture, character design

General FYIs: 

General inquiries/commission work/etc should be sent thru kynimdraws [at] gmail [dot] com! Tumblr messaging/asks/etc is not 100% reliable

I will not follow NSFW accounts but I am fine talking/interacting with them. There may be suggestive shitposting but I like keeping my content on the SFW side

I am VERY picky about who I follow/interact with online. Fandom content in particular is a minefield for me aka I have many things I dislike and don’t want to see, even if it might be a popular thing in media that I otherwise enjoy. Therefore, I will unfollow/block/mute liberally. There are times I accidentally block a blog bc I mistake them for bots. So if you got hit with that, just send me an ask or email me

I am very open about what I like and dislike, and none of those things are a direct attack on your sensibilities. I have never gone out of my way to directly send hate or whatever have you if I end up seeing shit I don’t like. My complaints in my little online space ain't a personal attack on you.

My ask/submission box/DMs  are open for criticisms if you have any issues you want to resolve in private. No one is perfect and I may have done ignorant shit that needs to be pointed out. I have deleted or edited posts in the past if people tell me what I did wrong. PS I get that some of my stuff may upset you, but try to act civil when pointing shit out please.

I try to tag all my things whenever I can. Again, send me a message if anything bothers you. I am all for good debate but if you send me excessive hate or threats bc I have different opinions about matters that are trivial, I will block/delete them.

If you wish to use any of my hcs, please credit me. And if you are comfortable with it, send me the works so I can check them out! Or @ me if that is easier.

FIRE EMBLEM FYI: Specifically for 3Houses/3Hopes because I need a separate one for this franchise specificially given how many crazy things I got due to being involved in this fanbase via my fanworks:

DO NOT try to convince me to like or tolerate Byleth/student ships, ESPECIALLY the ones with the lords (aka CIaude, Dimitri, EdeIgard). I already summarized why I don’t like FE3H Byleth ships with student chars here. While the spinoff game FEW3H has now removed that teacher/student problematic situation, the fandom keeps putting the FE3H elements into the FEW3H fanworks (i.e. remembering Byleth from “another life” trope)...so no thanks!! DO NOT SHOW ME IT!!!

As for the Byleth ships with faculty members, my response is here so don’t try to bait me about that topic either thanks.

I do not care whom you ingame S-support. 3Houses limits the dating-sim part of the game to that character, so I cannot care less about how you play the game. The main issue I have is when people treat Byleth the “character” as a legit ship material when I personally think they are a cool character ruined by fans who are too obsessed with badly executed self insert otome tropes bc they self-project super hard onto them. Just to be clear, any FE3H or FEW3H OC/Canon >>>>>>Byleth ships personally. Even Byleth-sonas that remove the teacher/student aspects are better than canon FE3H!Byleth

---

Please don't drag FE VA statements as some sort of “gotcha” on my opinions like this post here. IDC what other people prefer with ship shit, that’s their problem and not mine. I am not gonna bother them about it. So don’t bother ME about it.

“I’m sad but i’m laughing”

Quick warm up sketches of lauren patten as my new favorite baby gay, Jo from Jagged Little Pill the musical while i’m bingewatching Mr. Robot because i’m being random and procrastinating today. Made with sketchbook pro. Pencil drawing has always been a weak spot of mine so i’m pretty sure i could do this better if i actually had the time to practice and take this thing seriously but i don’t. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Instagram

I’m reposting because i accidentally deleted my post while trying to edit the tags

[karkkidoeswriting]

I’ve had kinda bad days so I treated myself by drawing one of my favorite moments in The Shield-Maiden Saga (mobile link).

For context: The wolf, who Láilá kinda adopted and became a sort of member of the crew, unexpectedly turn into a person and everyone, including him but excluding Láilá (who has seen some shit and nothing really surprises her), are confused. I don’t believe I’ve posted drawings of anyone other than Sváfa (she is in boys’ clothing and has short hair), so the other are Helgi (the wolf guy), Refil (the boy with reddish hair) and Láilá (the woman with dark hair). Side note: Helgi is actually a lot younger than he looks here. Naturally he hasn’t been shaving during the months he’s been a wolf, so he has kind of a beard going on, though he’s 17 and can’t really grow a full beard yet.

It began as just messy drawings in my notebook, but I decided to use it to experiment on what kind of coloring style I’ll aim for and how do I achieve it with not too much headache :D Lines are bit wobbly but I did end up liking the coloring!

So this is actually repost, I accidentally deleted the original post while I was trying to edit a typo. I am a fool :’D Sorry for spamming! If you want to be tagged too or not anymore, I’ll be happy do do that :) @erinisawriter @madmoonink @teacupwriter @lady-redshield-writes@emilydevoursstories@siarven@silverscreenwriter@bluemartlet@whataremetaphor@theprissythumbelina@dove-actually

How to Start Your Own YouTube Motorsports Channel

Quick tips for starting your own YouTube channel focused on motorsports…and how you can make money from it.

Besides having the best job in the world—How else would you describe getting to spend your days in the engine and chassis shops of some of the smartest people in racing and getting them to share what they know?—one of my hobbies is making videos for YouTube.

My YouTube channel (www.YouTube.com/TheHorsepowerMonster) started almost by accident. I started shooting video at different race tracks and simply wanted a place to put them to show my friends. Before long I was using the channel to document interesting engine builds that didn’t suit Circle Track’s editorial coverage and whatever else that interested me in the world of horsepower and motorsports.

Somehow, despite numerous mistakes along the way, The Horsepower Monster YouTube channel has developed a following of twenty-thousand subscribers and, through YouTube’s revenue sharing program, brings in enough money each month to treat my wife to dinner, or, more realistically, buy a few car parts.

Recently, my editors asked me to share a few things I’ve learned about building a YouTube channel, and that’s really not a bad idea. YouTube is a great option for racers and teams looking to do a better job of marketing themselves for sponsors and to their fans. YouTube is free to use, you control your message and everyone is familiar with it.

So, here’s a few tips for starting and setting up your own YouTube channel. Much of what I’m sharing here was learned the hard way. Also, my channel is by no means a media powerhouse like Motor Trend’s massive channel (or any untold number of teenage girls’ making makeup tutorials or whatever it is they do), but maybe there are a few tips here that can help you.

Just Get Started – A little hesitant because you’ve never shot or edited video before? That’s probably true for just about everybody on YouTube. Want to see the first video I ever made? You can’t, because I’ve deleted it. But despite its cringe-worthy quality it did help me get started. If you do a little research on videos already up on the website, you will see that quality varies wildly. People don’t watch online videos expecting to find the next Lucas or Spielberg, they just want to watch videos on the topic they are interested in. So get out there, start putting up videos, and make an effort to make each video you put out better than the last.

Equipment – I admit I’m a bit of a gear fanatic. I’d already been a professional photographer for years, so when I got into video I went out and invested in new gear. But honestly, camera gear should be one of the last things you worry about. And I’m living proof. Despite all the money I’ve spent on video equipment, the most-watched video on my channel was shot with my stinking cell phone. (https://youtu.be/XWs5OeVHYso) I was at the PRI trade show when Street Outlaws’ Big Chief unveiled his new race car, the Crowmod, and the only thing I has one me was the phone in my pocket. The success of that video obviously comes from hitting on a subject many people were searching for and has nothing to do with the quality of equipment used to film it.

Editing Software – Learning to use video editing software can be a bit intimidating. But just like video gear, don’t feel like you have to dive right into the deep end. There is good quality video editing software that’s absolutely free, no matter whether you are an Apple guy (iMovie) or prefer Windows (Windows Movie Maker, among others). Before you spend money on any editing software, try out one of the free systems just to get a little experience under your belt. Then you will know what you like and what you don’t before you decide on a software package with more horsepower.

Settle on Your Topic – You can’t be all things to all people—so don’t even bother trying. Find a topic that interests you and stick with it. Don’t worry about trying to produce videos on topics that are the most popular at the moment. If the subject doesn’t interest you, your quality will suffer, and people can always tell if you are just trying to mine for views. There are enough people watching online videos every day on practically every topic. I love oddball engine builds and documenting my own project builds (https://youtu.be/W6b6YQ6Rn7c) and apparently, some other people out there do, too. So find a topic and stick with it, and put your family vacation videos on a separate channel.

Go Ahead and Monetize – YouTube is owned by Google, and the two companies make it very easy to earn money on your videos with ads placed around your work. If you allow YouTube to do it, the company will place ads around your video and share a portion of the proceeds with you. Here’s a link to walk you through the process: https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/72857?hl=en Only the most popular YouTubers with millions of views on every video make really significant money, but every little bit helps, right? It is important to note that most advertisers only want their ads associated with videos that won’t offend anyone, so family friendly videos usually seem to do draw more ads than the more mature stuff.

Don’t Steal – Your intellectual property is valuable, and thankfully, YouTube takes copyright violations very seriously. So while the good news is you can be confident other people won’t be ripping off your videos, you must also be careful not to accidentally violate anyone else’s copyrights. For example, a common mistake many new YouTubers make is to put a popular song on their video as background music. YouTube’s algorithms will catch that right away. Instead, pay a couple bucks for some royalty free music that you can use legally. Just do a Google search for “royalty free music” and it will give you hundreds of options. There’s even free royalty free music out there if you look hard enough. Good music can help set the tone of a video, so put the effort in to find just the right track. https://youtu.be/JMqRxjsq01E

Be Regular – This is certainly something I don’t do, but all the most successful YouTubers will tell you that a key to success is providing your fans a steady diet of videos. This means you’ve got to put up new videos on a regular schedule. That requires dedication, and you have to make your channel a priority. Of course, if you don’t it’s not the end of the world. I consider my channel a hobby, so I put up new videos whenever I get around to it. And lately, I haven’t gotten around to it very much. How regular you are with your channel is up to you, but just be aware that regularly posting videos will help you be more successful.

Keep Your Eyes Open – Every video you produce doesn’t have to be a major production. Sometimes quick, simple and fun videos can be quite popular—especially if you see something that’s a bit unusual. When we built a Honda to take LeMons racing for Circle Track a few years ago we splurged to have a local pinstriper decorate our car. While he was working I put a camera on a tripod and let it run while I went and did something else. We took the best clips, sped them up and came up with a time-lapse video of the car we called “Poor Man’s Derrike Cope” getting lettered. It turned out to be a fun video with very little effort on my part. https://youtu.be/caswtTWP48s

Don’t Put Up with Idiots – The problem with putting anything online is that it tends to draw the haters and idiots. A strength of YouTube is the online community that will comment on your videos. They start conversations and bring others to your videos. But that doesn’t mean you have to put up with idiots. YouTube has a delete option with every comment. If something comes to your video with a legit complaint or question, it deserves to stay. But some “experts” like to criticize people, and the hard work they’ve invested to create a video, in order to make themselves feel better. If they don’t contribute anything and only bring negativity, save yourself the heartburn and simply delete ‘em. Believe me, the legit viewers don’t want to see their crappy comments either.

Get Help – Don’t forget that the videos you produce may help others promote themselves, too, and they can help you draw more eyeballs. Do you shoot videos at your local track? Let them know. Let the race promoter know he or she is welcome to embed the video on their social media. The track gets good-looking media to help promote themselves, and you get more people viewing your work. Win/win. If you document and engine build let any parts manufacturers you mention by name know that they are in your video. Most larger companies have people that monitor any company mentions on social media, so all you’ve got to do it tag them when you post your video on Facebook.

Be Unusual – Race fans already know what a race looks like from the stands, why not take them into the car with you? After all, everybody dreams of being a race car driver. Now you can show them what it’s really like. Advancing technology have made high-quality, small action cameras affordable these days, and it’s amazing some of the shots you can get with them. Invest in a GoPro or similar camera and see what new and unique shots you can get at your next race. https://youtu.be/Ynu01zKFq_0

So there you go. That’s just a few lessons I learned making videos. Now get out there, get busy making great racing videos, and make sure you let us know when you do.
