Non-political Female YouTubers!

Some were deleted and will have ❌️ at the end. I am still leaving their usernames in case you want to search for them on some other platforms (in case they have accounts there).

Brattyxbre - zine making. She teaches how to make zines as well as shows off her own zines. Literally so nice and soothing, I love a lot of her works.

RetroGeek Crafts - toy restoration and customisation. Usually it is MLP toys but sometimes she does different toys like Polly Pocket but it is still amazing.

LeanBeefPatty - workout, she's really funny. My favourite work out of hers so far is probably the 10 min abs one.

Vewn - beautiful and unique animations. You cannot imagine how much I love Vewn. Her animation transports me into another dimension and despite them having dark themes, I find them comforting.

Okana Nanako - life blogger on Japanese. Usually she cooks and does small short sketches. She is obviously on Japanese but has english cc

Morenikejis vlog - Nigerian girl vlogging her life. She describes herself as an introvert and has videos of her going on about her daily life. They are extremely comforting and nice. She puts a lot of love in them.

Real horror - talking about horror and true crime. I have not watched much of her, but I really do recommend her stuff for true crime and mystery lovers ❌️

Rightchoiceshearing - two wives who have a shear company and take videos of their work. Mostly shorts, but they're still enjoyable. I love the stories they share about animals they shear, from llamas to sheep.

Cleancasual - video game icebergs, extremely detailed. I usually dislike icebergs because how some do not provide necessary information regarding information, but she has everything perfectly researched. My favourite so far are her Pokémon icebergs (obviously).

ElectraSoul - law of assumption and manifestation content. Ok this one is not for everyone but I really love her energy <3

Hyler - loa and manifestation again. and again not for everyone, but she has shorter vids compared to electra and I really like her content.

Undefined - tech related content. I think she has revived Frutiger aero from its deep sleep and introduced it to everyone including me. Her videos are also somewhat concentrated on design aspect of technology.

Namiのくらし - Japanese office lady living all alone and vlogging her life. She has a bit of asmr feel to her videos.

Caitlin Koi - Splatoon content, not for everyone but I love Splatoon so I am recommending her for all the ink blob fans here. Or squid I guess. She usually "translates" (interprets inkling gibberish) in official songs and makes music videos. She also streams. I have been watching her since 2019 cause I am a Splatoon freak...

Momo in Amsterdam - Japanese student in Amsterdam vlogging her life. She is very nice and even has videos on english. Usually they are about living in Netherlands and student life, as well as hanging out with friends.

Reignbot - horror and true crime, sometimes internet mysteries. Ok, I actually used to watch her a lot back when she had a regular posting schedule and it was amazing. She refrains from overly edgy stuff and presents topics in an interesting manner.

ASMR PPOMO - asmr channel. Ok not everyone's cup of tea, but she is amazing I think. I used to watch her and sort of dropped after a while, but she did help me deal with some stuff I had going on lol

Hwaufranc - asmr mostly related to journaling. I personally love journaling and her channel was a goldmine for such stuff tbh. I LOVED it.

Atrocity Guide - mysteries, horror, cults, crime you name it, she has it all. She makes extremely detailed videos about the situations and has nice narration style.

MOONLIT † Страшные истории † - this is for all of you who know Russian. Scary story channel where a woman narrates stories.

I’m old, I’ve been doing doll hair for going on 20 years, but I’m relatively new to working on My Little Pony.

One thing that always bothered me when I was a little kid, and something I’ve seen people express annoyance with recently as adult collectors, is the way the colors on multicolored MLP tails get all mixed up and muddy looking, especially with the Rainbow Pony tails.

Windy, and Baby Quackers x2 shown here.

I’ve had the same problem with Rainbow Curl ponies, and my solution to that was to twist the matching stripes together before pulling the tail back through the body, and then curl them together one color at a time so they didn’t get mixed up again. It worked well enough, though did look a little strange at the base of the tail where the colors were still separated. That doesn’t work on a Rainbow Hair style pony, because their hair isn’t curled in the same way.

It has to do with the way the hair is contained in the crimp. Each color is laid down and crimped at the half-way point in the same crimp which leads to there being two stripes of each color of hair on opposite sides of the tail.

The benefit of this is all colors being visible from all sides, but the detriment is that they can get mixed together easily and get that visual dullness of color.

I was watching RetroGeek Crafts on YouTube, and she was trying to keep the colors separate by tying each individual color with string before crimping it in the usual way with a zip tie. It didn’t work. The colors still split into double stripes and that wasn’t what she wanted.

It took me a while, but eventually I had An Idea (which someone else has probably already figured out but you never know) on how to keep the stripes together, inspired by her attempt.

That idea was a complete, separate tail for each color. Obviously, this requires a lot more zip ties (two per color and one as a retaining ring). The ones shown here are VERY small, so they don’t add a ton of bulk inside Baby Quackers’s body or cause any distortion. There’s more than enough room.

Since there needs to be room before the retaining ring for all those zip ties, you do need to start with longer hair than you want, more than usual even. Give it another inch or so.

And then the retaining tie, which provides the function of the metal washers that are in G1′s to stop the small, individual tails from popping out.

The result is PERFECTLY sorted and separated stripes of individual color!

A visual detriment to this method, though, is that you’ll only really see one or two colors, depending on which way you rotate the tail in the tail hole BECAUSE they’re separated so well. You can see how I have it in the photo, green is all but hidden unless you give the hair a twist.

Tidy, crisp colors.
