I wish I could buy all the TF merch I see, like omg, I WANT it all so badly RAHHH
I also wish I could afford making a bunch of charms and stickers but shipping is SO expensive D: I would have an entire collection of stuff I would sell for as cheap as possible but BROOOOO, can't do that sadly
my friend keeps sending me chainsaw man related info as if i've already read it. i haven't! i'm planning to, but i need to be in the right mood to start on a series, it's been that way since the pandemic 😭 my brain cannot dive in something as easily as before. it's hard to sustain attention and interest these days. i don't know how to recover from it :(
I, for one, am just very excited for how much weirder Kelvin and Keefe are about to get in season four. the vibes are going to be strictly offputting and strange, and, to me, that’s romance.
Otakon's AMV contest allowed VHS submissions, and I knew I just had to submit the collab I edited with @astravis this way.
I hope it's clear why!

(It uses a lot of actual VHS footage.)
And I loved putting AMVs on tape so much that I quickly ordered a bunch of blank tapes online to compile all of my anime music videos this way.
(Short reel of a few of them.)
And, like, it's definitely far from perfect. My computer doesn't have an HDMI port, so I have to use a converter for that, and it's horrible quality. While that does add to the VHS aesthetic, it also makes some of the subtitles nigh impossible to read (as especially evident in the "First Time" video above). My digitization process also isn't exactly ideal, either.
But popping in a VHS tape of my videos and seeing that on the TV? Absolutely amazing. There is no other way I want to physically compile my AMVs. 10/10. MarshmallowGoop/MarshmallowGoop.
Would like to improve my process someday, but if anyone else is curious about how to make VHS tapes out of videos on your computer, I mostly followed this guide here!
‘Twas supposed to be an early night for the team after a long long day. Alas, circumstances arose and it is now a late night. Might as well do some late night bear posting
