#i have a youtube link to a private video and thats it

[sleepanonymous]

You look at me so angry I look at you so anxiously What did you even come here for? I guess I owe you an apology

I swim beneath an emerald sea You violate the ground beneath my feet You've got a question asking me You've got question...

Oh, and my hands round your throat I'll be the devil you don't know Watch your face as you choke Just to make you talk slow With my hands round your throat I will never let you go

This violence burns within me Only you could understand I'm tired of you pretending It's always you, it's always...

And if you feel as if you're wasting your time Can you quantify an aspect of failure? Do you feel as if you're wasting your time? You're alone, you're not alone

With your hands round my throat You're the devil I don't know Kiss my face as I choke Just to make me talk slow (x2)

My smile, your face My blood, your veins (x3)

RB have been renaming and privating a lot of old Daniel videos lately. individually its not much...but collectively....thats breadcrumbs....👀

Ok luckily i had a habit of using full youtube titles as gif captions so here's what i can gather

old: Wearing our best bib and tucker | Daniel Ricciardo and Max Verstappen are set for the US Grand Prix new: Daniel Ricciardo & Max Verstappen DRESS to IMPRESS 🤠 old: #CHEERSDAN! | Daniel Ricciardo's Red Bull Racing Highlights Reel new: Daniel Ricciardo's Red Bull Racing Highlights Reel old: Daniel Ricciardo and Max Verstappen Shodo-wn in Tokyo new: Learn Shodo with Daniel Ricciardo and Max Verstappen ✍️ old: On The Sofa Cheers Dan | Join Max Verstappen and Daniel Ricciardo For One Last Time new: On The Sofa with Daniel Ricciardo and Max Verstappen… privated: (that daniel vegas video) Road Trip USA | Daniel takes F1 to San Francisco, Monument Valley and Las Vegas unlisted: (checo's vegas video) F1 Car Inside Casino?! | ¡Vamos, Vegas! feat. Checo Perez & Christian Horner

(unlisted videos can be shared and viewed via links but won't show up on their youtube page or search results)

there must be a pattern/motif here but WHAT 😵‍💫

[slocumjoe]

Wait I’m confused, why don’t you like oxhorn? I’ve watched his stuff pretty regularly for the past few years and I’ve never heard of any controversy with him.

I'm not digging through the digital footprint of someone I don't like just to make someone else not like them, so here's a link to a reddit comment thread talking about the nasty shit he's done/he thinks;

If you go through the thread, people discuss his history and provid links scattered throughout. Problem is, the thread was 4 years ago, and some of the links to videos have been privated or taken down by Oxhorn himself via copyright claiming or some such.

Since this was all so old, and he's taken down much of the hot-button posts/videos, you really only have word of mouth to go off of. Completely understandable if that's not worth much to you, but asking people in Fallout communities, you'll either get "he's such a cool guy, those weak snowflakes need to stfu" or "he's a neckbeard and here's why"

For another thread, here's one from the fallout wiki;

Again, it's old, and these things tend to be taken down after a while.

The controversy happens off of his YouTube, because he's known for deleting comments. You'll see people in discussions saying they pointed out something he's wrong on, or being hypocritical about (ex; he hates pornography and masturbation, uses nudity and 'sexy' body mods), only to find the comment removed. Thats probably why you haven't seen anything.

He's not, like, an active fuckhead at the moment like Epicnate is (or was the last I heard of him a few weeks ago), but he's just off-putting and one of those things that are like..."okay, that's really not something I want anything to do with."

Ens*tification

[reference link] whenever somebody says something like this, it means they're criticizing the vibe of the space and not the space itself. Because they won't address their own numbers and instead discourage*other* users from using the platform.

"Seat's taken."

This happens in all sorts of social settings as well. Including Bars, Clubs, Coffee Shops, Public Spaces in General, and even Public Playgrounds (F*ing tiger moms dude.)

Not because of any tangible reason, just because the overall vibe has changed.

Let's start with the privatized dislike button: First, bigger creators had a penchant for attempting to *ratio* certain creators. Usually smaller creators, because they felt fear that the smaller creators were better than them and they *needed to control their territory* like they were a f*ing member of the crips, and some new guy would stop their growth. Some random users would also use bot farms just because they didn't like somebody.

Howard Stern did this too at one point in his career. And, what it ended up doing was encouraging people that hated his type of content into listening to other creators who were polar opposite him.

But it also encouraged *other* creators to act this way, and, ironically; Ens*ified radio into this bizarre place where it seemed like *only* shock Jocks could thrive. Unless you lived in Texas, then it was 24/7 Christian radio. (Because they banned the Shock Jocks.)

Censure by any other name...

Google is a near internet monopoly, Bigger than Amazon in scope and power. They have control over large portions of the backend of the internet. But "it's not a monopoly" because another monopoly controls access to those backends.

Even Amazon is beholden to the gatekeepers and Google's backrooms.

So it's not like I care about what happens to YouTube. But the fact they can produce this content AND get an audience, AND not be demonetized, should mean something to them.

And no matter how much activism there is for a public shared, equal access internet, it's nearly always ignored. Because of technology illiteracy. And these shock Jocks who, I don't want to say pollute the space, because that's kinda their whole shtick.

They obfuscate things that would benefit their shtick, because they constantly feel the pressure of being under attack for their craft.

They focus heavily on what people see on their home screen. They don't realize that the algorithm dictates that on purpose. Sharing child-safe content with children, and spicy content for spicy content viewers. (And, like hot ones, has multiple spice levels depending on what you can stand.)

If you want to address a larger, or more different audience, you could always create a new channel that follows those specifics. But they'd rather have a single channel with all their content.

If you're using clickbait for your videos, you're targeting ignorant people and small children. YouTube started a campaign on removing certain more spicy creators from the "children" space, because parents were complaining about contrapoints and philosophy tube *literally getting undressed on camera* and doing shows naked, and all the parents said was "just don't be in the child spaces."

Writers would call this *the hook*, and what you don't know, thats all clickbait is. But when you rely too heavily on clickbait.... There is no hook.

The same problem occurs with other sites. certain other shock jock creators, and twitch as a whole which, when I signed up, had an entire front page of bathtub streamers and voice actors from porn spaces (still doing porn acting).

"No really, I joined Twitch for the gaming, I swear."

That's some real HQ content there guys.

"WHERE ARE ALL THE VIEWERS GOING IF ALL OUR CONTENT IS NSFW!?"

There's a lot of people manufacturing all this "small creators can't even make money anymore and are financially dependent on viewership!!!"

But here's the thing, no they most likely are not. Having been funded by alternate sources. Or they make content in their spare time. Or saved some money in order to go job hunting and make money on the side.

If they're financially dependent on youtube, they are not a small time creator. They have an established audience, and can't be cancelled.

But since they're all making their chosen content creation spaces an objectively worse place to make content, the question remains; what will these spaces do about it? They're not going to cave to their demands. They likely can't afford to pay more. And creators can't leave the platform and make content elsewhere. (Because they're too reliant on the platform and can't afford it.)

They're intentionally trying to make it a worse place in order to build up subscription services to drive customers to themselves. But the only customers they will get, are the ones who're already fans *and* can afford it.

But they don't see that either. But they do know they can't just leave the service they're a part of. Because they've tethered themselves down.

I have written about the internet, the current problems the internet faces, and possible solutions for those problems. But, alas, nobody is listening.

Or are they?

[wizisbored]

I feel like there would be a bunch of conspiracy channels and videos about bugebrophs yt channel. Like “is she actually this girl who went missing”, “how the practical effects in her videos work”, “the TRUTH behind her”. All kind of shit like that. And honestly, I want to see that so bad

love this so much actually. hell yea. i started talking about her having a youtube channel as a joke but i am getting increasingly tempted to write it into the fic later down the line.

ok for Reasons i will not disclose, nobody is going to link her back to the correct dissapearance. however, given the evidence that she's said she dissapeared 15 years ago and apparently it was well known enough for her to find several people at a true crime con who had covered it there's been theories. probably the only dead serious video shes ever made would be in response to this, basically saying 'you're not going to figure it out, stop trying to pry into my private life, and stop trying to link missing children and their grieving families to my stupid channel its horrendusly disrespectful.' people who continue after that would have their channels mysteriously vanish from the internet.

other than that though, i think she would just respond to them in the most stupid ways possible. like damn the Haters and Trolls are saying my sweet witchcraft skills are made in post because theyre jealous of my mad skill. watches the ones saying its practical effects and just goes 'damn thats smart. i would not have thought to do that. if id have known i would not have bothered with the demonic ritual'. sometimes it's like shes written a book and someone has come and found the Deeper Meaning and shes just there like what mask i am wearing in each video is not part of the arg i just throw one on based on vibes alone. theorists on the edge of their seat waiting to see what her next upload will be and its just an hour of uninterrupted footage of percy laying under his heat lamp.

[yonpote]

i love the restoring youtube annotations extention!!! but tbh unless you have a lot of time and are willing to go insane i dont think its worth it to transcribe them all 😭 just spread the information about the extension lmao

THATS FAIR lol ok i'll just use this ask as a PSA then ^^;

HEY if you've ever watched an old amazingphil video and wondered "i wonder what these lions are supposed to be saying at the end" then check out Annotations Restored for Youtube! (chrome) (firefox)

unfortunately these won't work for stuff like the interactive adventures because i think all those videos were privated BUT subway reuploaded all of those and even put them into handy playlists over here! BUT i do think this will work for stuff like phil's animal beatbox video lmaoo and also should work for other old interactive videos for example neil cicierega's interactive haircut videos! (which i wont link cuz there's already a billion links on this post oops)

anyway have fun with that :)

[flyingcookierambles]

arrgh work has been horrible lately. like. just ughghg. ive been so drained and sad that i havent even been able to finish dragalia lost’s final chapter.....

:/// :(((

at least i did this tutorial. still waiting for the files to download. even if they dont technically run right now due to not having a server to connect to, maybe someone someday in the future will make a private server like how all those MMO nerds keep everquest alive and stuff so that we can play the game again. i know that its technically just 2 days now (counting down the hours to the last 24 :(( ) but like. i have 0 time im so sad abt it ugh.

anyways! tutorial on how to save your files and all the assets below! the video’s very helpful description also has the links to the guthubs and pythons and stuff you need to run the scripts to download.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HyhRUaKV_G8

heres hoping my laptop can squeeze the eng/chinese/taiwan versions on to 20 gb, or ill break out my external hard drive or something idk.

ughhh.

i think that. im just kinda done with live service games right now. like gacha burnout + being burned by that korean kaledoscope gacha, a3! english, and now dragalia lost. like, i think i’ll still play genshin since its literally insane and seems like they’re really thinking of making it a long lived game like granblue or something and of course ffxiv which as an mmo, while still a “live service,” as an mmo i think that they are just. different? like gachas are sprinting to each and every banner, but the mmo model seems more like a light jog or marathon. of course there is some FOMO and time sensitive holiday events, etc., but mmos just seem different from gacha, especially f2p gacha. i think it may also just be that mmos as a genre/company model has more history than the more recent gacha anime gaming industry. so. like. yeah. i really do actually want to get back into other gacha that i put on hold for a3! eng and now dragalia. i really do want to see my best husbandos mammon and beel and satan in obey me, and i want to either give twst jpn a try for language learning purposes and/or finally install twst eng. and like. uhh. lol. nu carnival lol. and of course a3! jpn and enstars music of course. hahhahahaha new carnival what is that

but like all jokes aside i seriously just cant. you would think that since they’re phone apps and all i can just download them and go esp since i always have my phone with me but like. i cant bring myself to do it. ghuaoghg i feel like this is my phone being kinda old, the battery gets killed when i open games, the building i work in has no wifi and my cellular data is high enough, and work draining my energy to do anything but play genshin for 30-45 minutes in a mindless hack n slash grind for dailies and primos for saramouche and then maybe doing the custom delivery of the week in ffxiv and then going to bed. like thats it. i wake up at 6 am i go to work til 4 pm i travel home and shower i get tired i crawl into bed bc my room is cold i either read fanfic/watch youtube or i fall asleep until 10 pm and accidentally skip dinner and then i go to bed and wake up and the cycle just repeats for 7 days a week for 45+ hours a week. ughghurghru having 2 jobs was a mistake FML OTL...

[maykitz]

Regarding that TikTok post, is there anything we can do to stop that trend? Mass reporting, getting the attention of bigger/kinder TikTok users, etc. I remember similar fads on YouTube happening and when we all banned together, a lot of the parents lost their kids.

(its a pretty long reply so im putting a readmore in there)

i honestly only remember one such case with the daddyofive channel and afaik nothing really happened in the end and they even started uploading again, just without the youngest boy they were mainly mistreating, after he started living with his biological mom instead.

so called family vlogging with extreme privacy violations of the children (filming their potty training, reading their diary, snooping in their phones to get private messages, etc.) is a massive and profitable genre, and the various "discipline" "strict parenting" "traditional respect-based training" focused offshoots all draw from that. insofar i probably didnt phrase that ideally- its not a new trend that tiktok invented just now or that usually doesnt happen. but thanks to the addition of social media its particularly harrowing that these children are knowingly trapped in a truman show from birth. we're talking millions of views on the big channels. thats an exposure and loss of privacy on a scale that wasnt even possible at any point in human history prior to ~15 years ago. if you film an adult using the toilet without their consent and upload it, both are, at least, considered crimes. if you do it to your own child, you get a youtube partnership.

and re. parents using the internet specifically as a channel of punishment via public humiliation, some time ago there was a controversy about a father who shaved his teenage daughters hair and uploaded the video where shes sobbing her eyes out as he does it. some other time it was a mother who made her kid stand at the main street with a sign shaming them for whatever they did wrong, additionally streaming it online. its unfortunately not rare at all. i just came across those today and the way they were promoting extremely cruel behaviour to other parents as something funny and holiday-themed to do for themselves (instead of "at least" a necessary evil to ""teach them manners"") was particularly messed up.

the depressing part is that you really cant do anything. i deliberately didnt post links because 1. every click benefits them and the same goes for every comment and 2. if people did start to talk shit at them in the comments, you can be pretty certain they'd take their anger out on the kids too.

the only thing that'd stop this whole business of content generating off of children, of child influencers and whatever else, is if it stopped being allowed altogether. but there's evidently no lack of viewership for it, so i highly doubt any platform would change their tos to ban it unless the law forced their hand (and even then it'd be executed poorly for sure).

in the case of 'controversial' punishment videos that heavily showcase children crying maybe reporting could get them deleted, but then what stops the parents from making a new one? and even if it were all pushed off social media, they'd still continue in private. if nothing else that'd at least fix the public aspect of it, i suppose. idk, honestly.

the core problem with all this is that children are effectively their parents' property; theres no right to privacy, autonomy for the child themselves. the parents are the ones who have the right to decide what gets posted online and how much privacy their children get to have. and also if and how theyre punished. this belief goes completely unquestioned by a whole lot of people. and as much as i wish it werent so, the alternative of cps often isnt much better either. really the only solution is to fundamentally improve the social and legal rights of children. but that ofc wont fix anything right now today ): wish i could give you a more positive answer

[annavysoul]

I can confirm, they introduced themselves as 3 readers and they made a post how Bee is leaving and starting their own channel. They even made a post to support it and linked the blog, that's how I knew of the Bee drama. But yknow whatever. But they shouldn't demonize those poor future apouses lmao, it's not gonna be them, or any of us.

Warning very long, I got carried away my bad lol

But the drama on tumblr is kinda mild conpared to Youtube "readers". At least the readers here on tumblr try to hide the fact, that they're describing themselves very well but yoooooooo.... Youtube readers are a different breed. Most of them are super young (12-13, but there are a handful of readers old enough to fucking know better) and just straight up describe themselves with no shame. I even found some who put pics of themselves lmao. Me and my friends like to go through readings and bet, who is describing themselves as a spouse. There is one reader who has over 30+ vids on Mrs. J, and most readings are like over 20 mins long. How much is there to know about a person, that doesn't exist yet??? But most YT readers are obssessed with the fact, that Mrs. J is from India, what a coincidence that the reader is also from India lmao. I'm not saying BTS wouldn't ever date someone from that country, I'm saying it's impossible to get a specific country, age, height, religion etc from tarot cards. The pics on the cards might give you clues and the cards can say that the person is different from you, but they go into way too much detail. And it's funny because they're always soooo specific for Jungkook and V, but for the other ones....crickets🦗 On one hand it's so sad bc you have these little girls, putting out their private info, looks and secrets for the whole world to see (these vids have thousands of views) and they don't really grasp the consequences of their actions bc yknow, their just children. The internet never forgets. But on the other hand, you have these grown women who, like I said, should know better than these little girls. Not only do they get so defensive if you don't 100% allign with what they said, they are borderline so obsessed of the idea of being a spouse. Like tf??? Bts aren't Gods. They're very attractive celebs, who's purpose is to entertain people with their contents and music (hence the word idol & entertainer), while they do feed into that perfect bf material scheme, it's up to the fan to not actually develop real romantic feelings (a celeb crush and being a stan is something very different). Most are actually fans for very superficial reasons, they just find them attractive, not the music. And if you take the glitz and glamour of fame and money away, Bts are regular human beings, with flaws and issues. Like. The. Rest. Of. Us. They only show you the best side of them, because it's part of the whole idol package. We truly do not know these people, no matter how sincere or authentic they appear on camera. Like so so many were suprised that they wanted to disband a few years ago, bc they couldn't handle the pressure. These readers always believe if they meet/marry them, their life is going to be better and they feel alive again or smth. Most of these readers actually need therapy, I don't mean that in a condescending way. They imagine that their spouse, a celeb they've never met, will be their sole reason for their happiness and only then they are able to fix their issues and unhappiness. That reeks of co-dependency. And even if they'd become couple and be public, then what? A really big big chunk of Armys are actually in love with Bts, no matter if they even know tarot or not (Armys usually claim that only 2% of the fandom are delulus but that's definetly not true🥴). You'd get send d*eath threats, be harrassed, get doxxed, be hated for all eternity, even if you'd decided to break up. Look what happend with Jk and the tattoo artist he only hugged. She lost her job bc Armys were reporting her, some were trashing her workplace, she got threats, her friends got harassed and doxxed and she lost a friend (Jk). Not only that, but people would legit stalk you and try to hurt you, if you were a romatic partner of Bts. Then you also have the tarot side, who'd try to curse youa nd paint you as the evil demon, who is toxic to member xyz. And I don't think you'd want to spend your entire life locked in your house. And I personally could never deal with like millions of haters, no matter how hot my partner is.

Yoooo! i search again in yt and watch a couple of videos... these are kids for go sake🥺🥺 where are their parents and why they let them public private infoooo?!? internet and children isnt the best combination...

and yess, theres also grown up women and thats really creepy, u can understand that children might do that cause they are young, BUT WHEN U ARE OLD ENOUGH, U SHOULD ACT BETTER!! and i insist, they just trying to prove to themselves and to the world that they are worth it to be with a celebrity, like yeah of course u are worthy, like any of us, but this is not the way u know? its weird, i dont think its sane at all, they just are using the cards to feel better, and thats bs. and if it is just a cope mecanism, plz work on yourself, get help, life its better when u are in a healthy place

also its interesting about mrs being from india and most of all the videos i watch where from indian armys, tarot doesnt work like that, yeah u can feel the energy that its different, perhaps different culture and think that maybe it could be a foreing, but the cards will never tell you something that specific, less if u dont even know in person the people you are reading for

we dont know them at all, and people put them in a such high pedestal just for being famous and hot, so i really have trouble to think that some tarot readers can pick their real energy, im a very intuitive person, but i need to be in the presence of the person to feel their real energy, so to be so specific in a reading they need to energise the cards with the energy of the person, they need to at least shuffle the cards and connect with the reader, sooo thats why i only see these reads as enterteiment, and its bad for the community to claim that we can see ALL of about them.

i'll never forgive the people who threaten the tattoo artist, poor girl, and thats why the guys cant have healthiest relationship, let them have a LIFE

[garland-on-thy-brow]

That is indeed very gay 😂 love it. The music and singing as well. I also like theatre and musicals (in which - at least the ones i watched - some liberties were taken often enough as well ^^ and they are sometimes quite hard to find in my experience. thats why i was asking about where to watch. Glad your opera recs seem to be easily found tho.) so i hope im prepared enough. Do you also have some specific productions to recommend? Anyway thanks a lot for all the information! Cant wait to check them out. Have a great rest of the week :)

Sure! I have not watched lots of productions, but here are those I've watched and liked.

Giulio Cesare in Egitto Glyndebourne 2005 (I'm usually very much NOT into Caesar, but if he is a hot lesbian it's a redeeming quality actually actually, and Sarah Connolly's Caesar is just that). Can be watched on vk.com (requires registration but free):

https://vk.com/video446919157_456243774

Maybe it's also somewhere else online, not sure. Message me in private if vk won't work for you, I can help find it elsewhere.

But also there is a Giulio Cesare in Egitto on Youtube that I have not watched in full, but characters are undead on the archeological site in Egypt??? Caesar is not a lesbian in this one though. Here: https://youtu.be/EYrhRv59l78

Lucio Silla La Scala 2016. Set in 18th century costumes and decorations. Interestingly, it includes Sulla's aria Se al generoso ardire from Bach's opera based with the same libretto (Mozart left this aria out in his opera because he was not satisfied with the singer who was to sing Sulla, and so he wrote less music for the part than originally intended). Got taken off Youtube but can be watched on vk.com (just like the first one in this post. Vk is great for finding opera in general): https://vk.com/video327747514_456240577

Mitridate, re di Ponto Paris 2016. Set in a 20th century theatre during the war. Sifare and Aspasia are a beautiful lesbian couple that makes my heart melt. https://www.operaonvideo.com/mitridate-re-di-ponto-paris-2016-haim-spyres-petibon-papatanasiu-dumaux-devieilhe/

Catone in Utica (audio only, this one is not staged so often, and I have not seen a video of it. Vinci's opera based on the same libretto is staged but I don't like it).

Caesar is a lesbian here too! https://youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_l1KQvCKanCu08Sp01fZ9-IHv2S9Ht8Ha4

As for L'incoronazione of Poppea, there are quite a few productions, but in most cases I have not watched them from start to end. You could try watching some arias from different productions on youtube, see what catches your attention, then watch it in full.

Noteworthy: Christophe Dumaux sings bastards in three of the listed productions. He is a certified opera bastard and he's great at it.

Hey, I also just remembered that I like Artaserse by Leonardo Vinci too. Here is a link to the production, all parts save for one are sung by countertenors: https://youtu.be/OCTiqj2lrTs

[an0nymousghost]

simblr asks v2

here are my answers! find the questions here.

i wrote soo much ahaha. like however much you think i wrote, i wrote more than that. imo everything i write is gold though

1. are you going to buy the new pack (cottage living) when it comes out? no, it looks really nice but i legit never ever buy packs at launch, especially cause this one is a expansion and it will probably go on sale at some point

2. do you p*rate your dlc or buy it legitimately? buy it legitimately 👌

3. what’s your favorite world? brindleton bay, it gives like seaside cottage vibes. willow creek is good but it’s boring. 

4. if you use a queue, how many posts per day do you set it as? 3 or 4. i used to do like 12 lmaoo what even was wrong with me

5. do you watch sims on youtube? yes, i watch mainly malixa, oshinsims, and msgryphi

6. what are your thoughts on the most recent pack? (dream home decorator) those sectional couches look good! but honestly im kinda annoyed because now it’s even harder to have all the items filled in when i place lots from the gallery. like i’m just saying like a lot of builds will use that pack probably and if i don’t get it then i can’t really use builds/save files 

7. how many packs/kits do you own? lemme count

expansion: all - 10/10 game: 5/10 stuff: 9/18 kits: none xo

24/38 - 63%

8. what’s your origin id? is it the same as your url? 🤗 it’s in my title, it’s celeschul. it doesn’t look that nice in my title but i use celeschul in my package files and i’m guessing people search things like, “celeschul penny hair” or something like that in order to find my cc- so i keep it in there so the search results are easier. i do want to change it though..

but no it’s also not the same! well i mean it’s the username i use for cc. my origin id used to be an0nymousghost but i changed it. i wonder if anyone’s taken that one?

9. is your simblr your sideblog or main blog? main blog ✌️ my old blog @stardze​ is a main blog as well.

my old old simblr was a sideblog but it had like 1 follower and it literally a bot so i don’t think that counts. i have a multifandom sideblog though 

10. do you have a cc finds blog? i wish. i was thinking bout it earlier and that would be sooo neat but sometimes i download stuff that doesn’t have a tumblr post attached to it, and also it’s stressful to keep up with so nah

11. are you wcif friendly? yes sir. in fact i bring the trouble of wcifs onto myself but doing them even when nobody asked.

12. what’s your favorite sized household to play with? (ex. 1 sim, 4 sims) gonna have to think on this one, honestly 1 sim is really fun and stuff goes by so fast. doing stuff with astrid when she was on her own, it was much more efficient. 

for families, i haven’t done that in a while actually. 5, 2 parents and 3 kids is cute tho. why did i write this this is honestly such a hard question

13. if you have c&d, do you play with pets? i feel like i haven’t played with cats and dogs in forever. honestly i just have no paitence. noelle fae was supposed to get a cat (there’s a food bowl + cat bed in her house) but when summer vacation started, the amount of time i spent playing ts4 decreased a lot. (this doesn’t really make sense, i have a lot more time. honestly it just has to do with my recent obsession with a certain anime/manga and some other personal thing)

i did random nightmares in may though and i had pets frequently. g5 didn’t because sofia scarlett lived in an apartment, but g2/3/4 had cici, and g1 had all the cats. but that was back in march so it’s been a while.

14. what lifespan do you use? i really want to do aging off but then i feel like it drags on. but aging legit stresses me out, sometimes i just want to sit down and do some cas stuff but i only have 2 hours in real time and there’s like 4 days left till one of my sims’ birthdays. 

15. if you own a lot of packs, how many of them have you actually played through? just so everyone is aware this question was made for me

i feel like eps require a specific save made for testing them out, but the only save i’ve ever made for an ep is noelle fae’s get famous save. 

that is literally a lie - i made a save for island living with one of my 100bc kids, maisie acapella. i did actually post it on tumblr BUT then i deleted all the posts BUT i reblogged them on my alt account BUT i privated my alt account so i honestly forgot about it

i have never played through discover university or watched anyone do it on youtube, i’ve read gerbits’ story about it so i think i’m pretty qualified. i’ve always wanted to do one with periwinkle acapella but i never got around to it

another ep i know nothing about is get to work

i tried doing a eco life playthrough but i hadn’t watched any videos and i was like..what is going on. so i quit lolx d ;;;;; i mentioned it but the whimsy stories legacy was the first time i had played with the eco lifestyle features so technically i think i know what im doing

i got outdoor retreat literally on monday of this week so i haven’t played through it yet. 

jungle adventure i still don’t know what’s going on. i remember last year before i bought the pack i was brainstorming, and wanted to do a ja playthrough with luna and cedar, who are a couple who i did a random legacy with and it was all queued to post when i deleted everything (if you’re wondering why, it’s because my queue was literally 200+ posts). except this time i didn’t save them to my sideblog so i lost them. 

i still havent had a restaurant in dine out 

also never did the vet thing from cats and dogs

i have no idea what that rock climbing thing is from snowy escape but i did most of the other stuff because rn g5

city living i did through psc stage 5 and also it was the first pack i bought anyways

the rest of them are either stuff packs or i ended up playing them through casual gameplay (seasons, parenthood)

16. what do you do as you play sims? (ex. listen to music) i listen to music most of the time, or listen to commentary youtube videos because i am an alpha chad. i also used to talk with my friends on voice call but i don’t do that anymore 🥲

17. which sims challenges have you tried? random legacy, whimsy stories, perfect sim challenge, 100 baby, legacy (just the plain get-to-10-gens one), random nightmares, berry zodiac, astrology legacy, apocalypse

i feel like im forgetting some.. honestly most of the stuff i did before simblr was either 100 baby (i love that challenge) or random saves that lasted for 2 seconds. 

18. do you like the new(ish) hair swatches? nah. 

i do appreciate that most cc hairs have a true (ish) black, thank god! and the fact that the hair update is what inspired me to update and fix a bunch of hairs with different issues is pretty nice. but will i use them? no. 

plus it takes up like 5 gb? depending on how many packs you have.

19. post the latest screenshot you took 📸

i live in cas

20. what is the cc/ingame hair that looks the most like your own? i think that dream home decorator side part hair looks a lot like my hair. honestly i havent see much like my hair but that one is kinda-? close

21. who is your favorite sim of yours and what is their story? noelle and alari fae i think! 

link to post

noelle is blonde and has blue-grey eyes. she wears purple contacts pretty often though (because she wants to 😌)

alari has light brown hair that is kinda curly, and she’s got pretty vibrant blue eyes. 

they’re sisters, alari is 3 years older than noelle. noelle was 19 and alari was 22 when they got spotted

they worked as models when they were young adults. their jobs involved dyeing their hair blue/pink, and they would model like clothes and stuff. anyways, they were pretty successful. like not ultra famous but they had enough money to not work for the rest of their lives. 

their modeling group was made of 4 girls, the others were named paisley autumn and they were green and red, respectively. some things are: 

paisley and alari started dating during this 

autumn was a single mother to a little girl named destiny

noelle dated many people during this but never ended up finding the one <3

when their contract ended after like 6 years, paisley and alari went to go live together and noelle decided to get into acting. so thats when get famous playthrough started!

there’s more but basically they’re like oc’s with sims on the side. xoxo

22. if you use cc, are there any cc creators that you have like ALL of their items? this is such a good question! i hoard hair very heavily (my folder is 11gb) i so i have like 97% from most of the popular hair creators. 

i think i had legitimately EVERYTHING from simstrouble though, i went through multiple times to check and i also have all of her retired stuff. 

i have everything from ridgeport i think-? because of the fact that she uploaded all her stuff in one big zip. 

i think that’s it.. for a long time i also had everything by clumsyalienn, but then i ended up deleting it and only keeping my faves. 

and looking at my collection, maybe ah00b? i might be missing a couple but i at least have like 99%.

23. what’s one pack you think is underrated? dine out, it’s laggy af yes but it’s such a nice thing for my sims to do. 

24. what are your favorite sims stories/legacies? melons by gerbits always and forever

this question was inspired by this ask anyways so 

25. if you could change one small thing about ts4, what would it be? most of my suggestions are pretty complex but literally just - when you add tray files, they appear at the top. my life would be so much easier

this took me literal hours to answer

Busted, But it’s ok chapter 2 (Power pack)

"JACK YOU CAN'T!" Alex cried out, even as the little sissy was still wetting his diapers, reaching out with his powers and trying to snag the cellphone away. "Ah ah ah, be a good gurl Alex." Jack said, grinning ear to ear. "it's linked to the cloud and saying there. Now I MIGHT think about not uploading..if.." Jack said and paused for dramatic effect. The red faced older brother though not looking the part, that was for sure) slumped his shoulders in defeat, and relaxed his power. "If?" Alex whined. If somebody promises to keep being a good widdle maid and doing alll of my chores. And my homework. Of course to show I'm not a totally heartless monster." Jack said and popped his cellphone in his pocket then walked over and patted Alex's diaper butt, making the sissy squeak. "I'll make sure you can wear your widdle outfit while you d it.~" he said and laughed. "...C-Can I do the chores in my big boy clothes?" Alex mewed. He knew when he was beaten but even then, he had to at least try and save some face..even if the idea of being a little pamper maid had squirming lots. "Of course not! if my -snort- big brother wants to waddle around in his sissy baby maid outfit in private, he can do it in front of me. Heck, I'll sweeten the pot: I'll even change your diapies for you 'sis'" Jack said then paused. "Speaking of, looks like widdle Alex piddled himself." Alex whined and nodded, then looked down at the front of his diapies. the princess had indeed faded from the heavy fear based wetting he'd unleashed. "I um..I.." Alex said and squirmed LOTS while Jack patted his diapered butt, there was just something about getting diaper pats from someone else that was breaking down any form of common sense for poor little Alex. "Yes Little sis?" Jack asked. "I..I set these diapers up for lot's of wettings.. S-So I don't need a change yet...Big brother." Alex said and closed his eyes, his face crimson. "oh I See~ So you LIKE sitting in soggy diapers. Noted." Jack said and took his hand away, then seemed to pause before looking sheepish. "Uh..One little thing though..I mean.. I suppose I'll change them if I have to..but..you don't..you know.." Jack asked and then trailed off. It took Alex a full 10 seconds before it dawned on him what Jack was asking and he let out a cute squeal. "N-NO! I ONLY WET MY DIAPIES!" he Yelped out MUCH louder then he'd meant to them covered his mouth, looking around. "Well thats good to know..though I think half the block knows it now too." Jack laughed. "Finished doing the dishes, I'm gonna go play a few games on your switch..." Jack said and turned to leave. "But..but..I JUST got that and-" Alex started to whine. "I can always go on YouTube instead." Jack called still heading out of the room. "..Try the new Pokemon! it's fun!" Alex called and then turned back to the dishes. Suddenly doing all the chores for everyone didn't seem so fun.

Jack chuckled and sat on the sofa, playing on Alex's switch, which he was going to let the sissy know was now going to be technically HIS, and thought of all the fun he was going to have with his sissy cream puff of a big brother. In hindsight after the shock of just seeing Alex dressed like this, he wasn't actually all that surprised his brother was a little diaper sissy. Alex had always seemed a little well, wussy and had been in good-nites off and on for years. Actually thinking about it, That begged the question was Alex a sometimes bed wetter for real or had been just faking to get his butt diapered and treated like a little boy by their parents. He had been blushing but grinning like a fool when they'd remind him no drinks for a hour before bed after all. Having dealt with the smells of a bed wetting roomie for so long Jack didn't think he'd mind changing the sissies diapers all that much, couldn't be worse then having to take a soggy good-nite to the trash when Alex had leaked and their parents had been calming the sobbing sissy down. That said, he was glad Alex had had such a negative reaction to the thought of crapping his diapers. If it came down to it Jack would do his own damn chores before he'd wipe a poopie butt.

With the dishes done, Alex waddled to the closet and took out the vacuum cleaner then started to head into the living room then paused. the curtains were wide open and while earlier he had loved the thought of being risky he'd had enough thrills for one day. Jack was laying on the couch and from the sounds coming from the switch ('MY switch..' Alex huffed mentally) it was clear he'd taken Alex's advice and was playing Pokemon. "Um, big brother?" Alex called, trying to keep his voice nice and sweet. "Hmm?" Jack sat up and looked over. "Done with the dishes? Oh and ready to clean the living room I see. what's up soggy butt?" Alex squirmed at the name calling but forced a smile on his face. "Um, could you pleasssse close the curtains for me? I..I don't want anyone else to see me." He said. "heh, and I don't think I wanna share your cleaning services yet. though I suppose after the mess I made at Franklin's, I might be able to get back in their good graces by sending you over." Jack teased. "Y-You wouldn't!" Alex yelped and wet his soggy diapers more. "I might." Jack winked then added. "Depends on how well behaved my widdle sister can be for me." He set the switch on the couch and got up, heading over to the curtains and pulling them shut. "oh, by the way, I deleted your file and started a new one. I don't think a little lady like you needs to be playing video games anyways. Don't worry..I'll get you a coloring book of Disney princess to draw in instead.I know, I spoil you." Jack laughed and got back on the couch. Alex fumed, he'd been half way though the elite four and from the sounds of things Jack had basically just claimed the switch that Alex had saved up for for MONTHS as his own. "Is there a problem? don't tell me your gonna be a bad girl and have a fit?" Jack asked, a smirk on his face. "..N-No not at all Big brother." Alex said though clenched teeth. "I bet your SO happy I'm taking your video games away and giving you coloring books instead you wanna thank me don't you?" Jack said, a shit eating grin on his face. 'Son of a BITCH!' Alex thought, fuming and clenching a fist. Instead he took a deep breath and let the fist go and pasted a fake smile on his face. "of course Big brother. Thank you sooo much for taking my video games from me. I'll color you lots of pretty pictures." Alex said. "Your VERY welcome Soggy butt. Oh, before you start cleaning in here, be a dear and go make me a sandwich, and bring me a soda." Jack said and went back to his game. '..I'm gonna murder him.' Alex thought. A wave of submissiveness swept over him though and a little voice in his head reminded him that this is technically a form of what he wanted, and to be a god girl. "Yes big brother, right away." Alex said and did a curtsy as best he could with the swollen diapers around his waist.

Jack swallowed hard as soon as Alex was out of the room. For a second despite how calm and cool he'd looked, Jack had been scared he'd pushed things too far and Alex had been about to throttle him, Video or no video. 'Maybbbe dial it back a little there Jacky boy..and let him play some of his games so he'll think you were just role playing.' He thought to himself. Going back to the game he started to wonder what was taking the little sissy so long in the kitchen when the smell something delicious hit his nose and he sat up. Alex had not only done as ordered, but went about just a cold cut sandwich and had in fact made a bacon and grilled cheese sandwich for Jack and poured him a tall glass of cola with ice in it, carry it in on a tray and setting it on the coffee table and then curtsying again. "Anything else Big brother? Or may I go back to cleaning?" Alex asked. '..Did I fucking break him or something?' Jack wondered in his head then out loud. "Nope, this is good. Good girl soggy butt. Maybe I'll rethink the video game ban after all." Alex's answer caught him off guard however. "That's OK Big brother, little sissies shouldn't play video games." Alex coo'ed and then with anther curtsy went and plugged in the vacuum cleaner, and started to vacuum. '..I fucking broke him.' Jack thought and gulped, then dig into his sandwich worried about his brother.

hi can i ask abt onlyjayus being racist? im out of the loop and never saw anything abt that. i dont like her but like... id like to know

Just an FYI since Im also sure you don’t know about this Onlyjaus/Isabella has recently started to use they/them pronouns. 

So their racism a little while ago there was a call out about Onlyjaus being racist in the past and never really making any changes and only covering up. Thats when screenshots of their past messages to people came up in those screen shots they use the phrase “N-word lover” as well as the f slur and telling someone “I hope your family dies of cancer”. This all happened within the first few days of Black History Month. So they then posted a two part apology saying “I’m so ashamed of myself for using racist rhetoric and derogatory language to hurt others because I knew what that word meant and I understood the power behind it.” and like it doesn’t matter where you are from, how you grew up you know you don’t say the N word you know the weight behind that word.

They then went on to say “first saw the screenshots, I didn’t even think that they were real because I forgot how hateful and how angry of a person I used to be. The screenshots and the things I’ve said in the past are not a reflection of who I am today.” And the kicker that then caused a whole other down fall. 

Onlyjaus stated in these now private videos “I will be taking a step back and using my platform to give voice to Black Creators through colabs so they can educate.” 

This sparked a bunch of Onlyjaus white fans accepting the apology while a lot of Black creators (rightfully so) commented on how their apology was full of the standard bigoted youtuber apology, overly scripted, fake tears, a little guilt trippy, and doing this as optics during black history month. 

Here are two videos by two creators that I enjoy a lot taking about the apology (there are many more but here are some) 

morgantheblackfairy𝕸𝖔🧚🏾 ·  (Sorry video will not embed) 

sietesays✨777✨  (same as above) 

so that then brings us one of my favourite content creators and how she got involved. Black content creator AuntKaren0 Karen believes in second chances and decided to take one on OnlyJaus. Just stating this now I won’t be able to link every video but I will link to Aunt Karen’s tiktok page (she has amazing posts about better a better ally to Black people, misogynoir, deplatforming racists and more) So Aunt Karen decided to reach out to be able to help educate as well as help Onlyjaus on their road to proving that it wasn’t just words and optics. So Aunt Karen messaged and got ignored so after a while of that decided to post being ignored on tiktok and Onlyjaus blew up. Instead of just saying “sorry I missed the emails” or “I no longer want to work with you” Onlyjaus began to gaslight and blame their ADHD and mental illness on their actions, and on Onlyjaus spam side what ever you want to call it account began to post the trope of “Angry scary Black lady” about Aunt Karen, and no one was having that and only Jaus has proved they haven’t changed since calling someone and N word lover in 2016. 

This is still ongoing Onlyjaus has still ignored and spoke over Black creators, and continued to use their privilege to continue to spew racist and bigoted things. If you want to know more and see more of the full story please go watch Everyone’s favourite Karen Aunt Karen on tiktok

You said you dont know much about comics, but you do know about anatomy, so i am curious what else you know about. What are your hobbies, what do you like to read/consume (as in media lol)? If its too private ofc u dont have to answer, i am just curious about the person behind the blog! (Also, is there a nickname we could give you, like fibacoa?)

Fibacoa is Very Good. but i did have to google it because i have one brain cell and couldnt figure out where you got it from... lmao i got it now. Fibacoa is good, other places on the web folk call me zaz or zazzy, but my human flash name is Zachariah, and yall are welcome to call me that too. or just Zach! and since we're on the topic of proper nouns ill just add pronouns to the bunch, i mostly use he/him but tbh any work.

In terms of media, im pretty notorious for having no grasp on pop culture. I like educational stuff, and not paying for things. So i mostly watch channels i can learn from on youtube.

Bernadette Banner makes these beautiful historical dresses using the techniques of the time period, i Adore her videos and i could listen to this woman read a phone book. her videos are extremely detailed as she shows all the steps she takes and all the mistakes she makes while working on her projects. she also does videos on things like the history of ppe, Costume College, historical corsetry, and one of my favorite videos is the one where she buys a knock off version of the dress She Made and just tears into it.

Mumbo Jumbo and Grian are both fairly popular minecraft youtubers and i love watching them work on these Massive projects on the server they play on

D'Angelo Wallace does like gossip? videos i dont know what to call them, but theyre informative and i like his whole attitude and how he presents the topics hes covering.

i need to stop listing youtubers adafakll, this list was about 5 entries longer before i realized thats Too Long ajklaj. I have a lot of love in my heart for a bunch of different youtubers.

other than that my favorite media is undeniably fan fiction, usually of properties i know nothing about. I like trying to piece together the source material from what bits can be learned from the fans writing. and i like the complete lack of exposition. Fanfic assumes you already know the characters and setting so it spends no time trying to hand hold and just gets to the meat. and its just Very Nice.

my top picks are

The Descriptavists Approach, which is a critical roll fanfic about molly and caleb and its just Nice.

https://archiveofourown.org/works/14854460/chapters/34387928

Friendly Competition, also cr, but Caduceus is there to now and hes Very Cute, the fic is about caleb accidentally falling in love with both molly and cad at the same time and trying to figure it out. it has three different endings, and they all make me Cry, the first two from sadness the third from happiness.

https://archiveofourown.org/works/17634050/chapters/41579228

and Finally Jouney to the West. a breath of the wild fanfic with my favorite depiction of Link in any fic. hes a feral little pun man who loves the noble shark man, what more could you ask for? https://archiveofourown.org/works/13548447/chapters/31290981#workskin

hobbies wise... Thats A Long List. im a zach of all trades and i tend to bounce around different hobbies a Lot. to the point that if you can name it, and its not metal working, glass work, or skydiving, ive probably done it at least once. but right now the general fiber arts category has taken over my life, primarily spinning. i Adore it. and i adore my 6 spinning wheels only four of whom function and only 2 i paid full price for. (fun story: i got my second wheel as a gift because one of the women in my spinning group deemed my first wheel too dangerous.) Most of my time is being spent spinning rn because i have to get Christmas presents done for 10 people before december and i need something done for early September for my fathers bday. my family has a tradition of not buying the adults anything, so every gift has to be hand made. which is also why i haven't been very active, i got Shit to Finish.

I also adore d&d! and play it a lot. but i was assigned dm at birth so ive never been a player character and ive played... like 15 campaigns?

“The Value of Being a Media and

Information Literate Individual”

Answer: Media and information literacy enables people to interpret and make informed judgments as users of information and media, as well as to become skillful creators and producers of information and media messages in their own right. MIL combines media literacy and information literacy under one term, and includes a combination of competencies. Media literacy emphasizes the ability to understand media functions, evaluate how they are performed and use them for self-expression, while information literacy emphasizes the importance of access to information and the evaluation and ethical use of such information.

It recognizes the primary role of information and media in our everyday lives. It focuses on the freedom of expression and information since it empowers citizens to understand the functions of media and other information providers, to evaluate their content, and to make informed criticism as users and producer of information and media content. Information Literacy and Media Literacy are traditionally seen as separate fields.

Instructions:

1. Provide the most logical explanation to each question.

Activity 2:   Critical Thinking Questions

1. What other characteristics of being media and information literate can you think of? Make a checklist of an ideal media and information literate person that you want to be.

Answer: I think a media literate person is someone with an open mind, someone willing to listen to every side of an issue. This doesn’t mean he/she has to have such an open mind that his/her brains fall out. Some ideas and positions make sense to an intelligent person and some do not. And it’s up to you to discriminate between truths and falsehoods. A media literate person is someone who READS a diverse number of publications and entertains many different points of view. I recommend the website, Real Clear Politics which everyday links readers to something like 15 different articles which express both liberal and conservative points of view.

•Determine the extent of information needed.

•Access the needed information effectively and efficiently.

•Evaluate information and its sources critically.

•Incorporate selected information into one’s knowledge base.

•Use information effectively to accomplish a specific purpose.

•Understand the economic, legal, and social issues surrounding the use of information, and access and use information ethically and legally.

2. What rules do you think you should live by to become a responsible media user?

Answer: Social media is often viewed as a blessing and a curse. Thoughts photos and videos are shared instantly and widely friends, family and complete strangers receive posts within seconds. In recent news, we’ve discovered lingering or residual effects in which past posts typically those posted in haste negatively impact young people seeking employment or educational opportunities. Have college applicants lost offers of admission or scholarship money due to social media posts they made when they were much younger. Experts in social media know that your profile is your brand and therefore it must be managed. People can learn a great deal of information about you through social media based on patterns of what you say, what you like and what articles and videos you enjoy. Given the fluidity of social media, refreshers on how best to separate our personal and private information benefit each of us. Here are a few tips and reminders to manage your social profile online responsibly and well.

• Own your image, personal information and how these are used.

Pay close attention to the Terms of Use on apps and websites. Most people skim through them to accept immediately, but it’s wise to take a closer look and read all the sections thoroughly. In some situations, you can opt out of automatic facial recognition tags.

• Obtain permissions

When posting videos or images of others on your networks. Never take photos of patients during procedures without permission.

• Scrub your accounts.

Posting to social media leaves an imprint. Delete anything that’s irrelevant, embarrassing or disrespectful. That includes inactive accounts. If you don’t want the entire world to see you in a compromising position, delete it. Reflect seriously on what you post before you post it; if you wouldn’t want to see it on the front page of the newspaper, or you wouldn’t want your family to see it, do not post it.

• Password diligence.

Update passwords frequently. Keep an eye on any dormant accounts if you decide not to delete them. Inactive accounts are prone to hackers.

• Spread love, not hate.

Share uplifting or positive posts in support of causes, subjects and persons you care about.

3. How would you put into actualization the ideas of being a media literate individual? Being an information literate?

Answer: The word literacy usually describes the ability to read and write. Reading literacy and media literacy have a lot in common. Reading starts with recognizing letters pretty soon. Readers can identify words and most importantly, understand what those words mean. Readers then become writers with more experience. Readers and writers develop strong literacy skills. Media literacy is the ability to identify different types of media and understand the messages they're sending. Kids take in a huge amount of information from a wide array of sources, far beyond the traditional media (TV, radio, newspapers, and magazines) of most parents youth. There are text messages, memes, viral videos, social media, video games, advertising, and more. But all media shares one thing, someone created in it and it was created for a reason. Understanding that reason is the basis of media literacy. Learn how to use movies and TV to teach media literacy. The digital age has made it easy for anyone to create media. We don't always know who created something, why they made it, and whether it's credible. This makes media literacy tricky to learn and teach. Nonetheless, media literacy is an essential skill in the digital age.

• Learn to think critically.

As kids evaluate media they decide whether the messages make sense. Why certain information was included, what wasn't included, and what the key ideas are. They learn to use examples to support their opinions then they can make up their own minds about the information based on knowledge they already have.

• Become a smart consumer of products and information.

Media literacy helps kids learn how to determine whether something is credible It also helps them determine the persuasive intent of advertising and resist the techniques marketers use to sell products.

• Recognize point of view. Every creator has a perspective.

Identifying an author's point of view helps kids appreciate different perspectives. It also helps put information in the context of what they already know or think they know.

• Create media responsibly.

Recognizing your own point of view, saying what you want to say how you want to say it and understanding that your messages have an impact is key to effective communication.

• Identify the role of media in our culture.

From celebrity gossip to magazine covers to memes, media is telling us something shaping our understanding of the world, and even compelling us to act or think in certain ways.

• Understand the author's goal.

What does the author want you to take away from a piece of media? Is it purely informative, is it trying to change your mind, or is it introducing you to new ideas you've never heard of?. When kids understand what type of influence something has they can make informed choices.

4. How does being an information literate made an impact in your life as a Licean? Do you think the university core values have helped you in the thorough understanding of these concepts?

Answer: For me the impact as an licean, it will makes me help to do something that i known to the knowledge that i read different janras of books or info that I'd have read to the social media like Google, Facebook, YouTube and more. Because its really gives me a hint of big help to my-self as an licean students. As a students that they have to learn and learn more as long as you've or we've got to know different information and gain more knowledge that in our brain, and thats brain is called a library critical thinking thoughts for me. That's why in every details that it comes our mind is a blessing because while you live in this world you need to know more a different knowledge because the knowledge is power and if you don't have the power of knowledge, then while you live in this world your life isn't called a none or null details information brain live human.

Yes, it's very big yes. Because the university of school in every school is very accommodating because they teach the students the way they wanted to know about what is this or what is that about something to will you improve in physical or mental development as an responsible students. The university of different or every school is that they wanted to the students is will know about core values like: loyalty, integrity, discipline and obedience because the way that they'll have this type of core values the students is more to be a better person in the future.

gif tutorial

*waves*

ok so im really really bored so imma make a gif tutorial for anyone who wants to make gifs cause i have nothing better to do

kay

1) make an account for deviant art and giphy (pretty easy not that hard lmao)

2) go find a youtube video, or any downloaded video format-y thing that you want to make a gif from.

im making gifs from a music video, so im copying the link for the youtube video

3) go to giphy.com and click on create

it should look like this

4) if you’re using a downloaded video then find it, and if you’re using a youtube video copy and paste the url in the url box

i should look like this

5) this is pretty self explanatory but 

top slider= how long the gif is

bottom slider= what part of the video you want the gif to be off

6) once you’ve created the length and what you want for the gif click on “continue to decorate”

it should look like this

7) the stuff in decorate is pretty easy to use, but they’re for like memes and stuff. and you can add text later so we’re just going to skip that for now. so click on continue to upload

8) the add info part is just for if you’re uploading to the site and stuff. which you are i guess, but it’s not that important. you can also make the gif public or private and add tags and stuff.

click on upload to giphy.

9) wants it’s uploaded just download the gif however you do that and boom you have created a gif.

now onto the aesthetic stuff lmao

10) go to photopea (it’s pretty much photoshop, but free and on the web)

11) click on file, click on open, and then click on your gif

it should look like this

12) this just depends on the gif you have but mine has the black border which i hate around it so go to the little search bar and type in “crop tool” and then select the part you want to keep, and then click the little check mark

ok now that that’s taken care of you can just play around with the gif. if you want to sharpen it go to the search bar and type in sharpen, which you can do automatically. if you know how to use photopea then go for it and try to edit the gif. if you don’t go find some tutorials if you want. idk it’s not needed, but if you want it to look cooler than you can do that. (Just don’t do this step rn skip it)

13) now it’s time to find a psd (kinda like a filter) i can teach you how to make one, but like i suck at it so let’s go find one.

log into deviant art and then search psd

ok then click on one’s you like so you can see other psd’s like that, and just look for one that would look good with your gif.

i chose this one cause it matches her hair. https://www.deviantart.com/night-gate/art/PSD-119-Antidote-by-night-gate-658988835

but yeah find one you like and once you do click the little arrow to download it

now go back to photopea, click file, select open, and then find your psd. it should look like this

14) ok this might be kidna tricky, so imma try to explain in screenshots

make sure that you’ve clicked on the first file

so pretty much make sure that you have clicked on “antidote/ night-gate” or whatever your thing is called with the folder.

15) then go to layer and click duplicate into

ok then click on destination and then click on what the other layer where your gif is. mine is titled “giphy.psd*” so click on that and then click “OK”

once you do that then go to where your gif is and look at it. it should work out. and look good. my psd looks a bit off, but thats ok cause this is a tutorial so whatever

16) and then click file and then “export as”

then click gif and it should look like this.

17) click “save” and boom you’ve made a gif, put a filter on it, and then downloaded it.

now it’s ready for whatever you need it for. post it on tumblr or whatever. if you want to add text i can show you how later this is taking way longer than it should so yeah that’s it for now.

so yeah 

and the psd is optional obviously. you could just make the gif and upload that to tumblr

yeah that’s it for now. hope that made some sense. go send me asks if this post made literally NO SENSE AT ALL cause im confusing

my final project (yeah the filter was a bit weird, but whatever you use will probably not leave a square-ish thing of darker light than it’s supposed to lmao)

so yup
