My Project Org Editor 2024 Round 6 AMV/MMV!
I edited a Detective Conan video for every preliminary round of POE, but it took until this final round to finally make a blorbo AMV (something I'd been meaning to do since Round 3, but I somehow always ended up with another idea instead). With the theme of "Aliens, Time-Travelers, and Espers," and the goal being to edit a video focused on the "bizarre and supernatural," I knew I couldn't not follow through with a Heiji fancam, given all his "monster" cases.
(And hey, maybe there's also something a bit "supernatural" about Shinichi's predicament as Conan, too—and Heiji is always there to help him with that.)
POE is a timed challenge with only one week per theme, so on and off the last few months, I continued working on this AMV, trying desperately to turn the mess I submitted into something I'm actually proud of. And I think I succeeded! I hope this is a huge improvement, and I'm very excited to finally share my polished-up rendition.
You can check out all Round 6 POE videos, comments, and scores here, and Future_Vantas has also kindly put together a playlist of videos uploaded to YouTube here. The song used in my video is "Nobody (from Kaiju No. 8)" by OneRepublic, and my video is available on YouTube as well, in full 1080p and with optional subtitles, here.
#fancam friday!#detective conan#case closed#heiji hattori#conan edogawa#shinichi kudo#onerepublic#amv#my amvs#mmv#?#video#eye strain#getting back into the swing of things after the holidays has been hard but i've been dying to share this!#the original took about 21 hours and i spent over double that cleaning it up so i really put a lot into this one!#hope it sparks some joy! i had a lot of fun with this and these two are just so cute#they're freaks for real (affectionate)#i hadn't actually seen a lot of heiji's 'monster' cases because i'm so far behind so i watched a couple before editing this#i really like the zombie one#one day i'll catch up and spend some time actually watching the show rather than just editing it lollll#source list also on youtube! which is unlisted for now so as to not post too many videos too quickly there but will be fully public soon

When I'm not thinking about shit he'd do or say I am in fact still producing 20 other WIPs with his face.
WIP, obv
#I'm really starting to enjoy this weird watercolour-ish vibe whatever tf is going on#It kinda feels like carving linoleum#except theres no linoleum#and im not carving anything#except i kinda am cuz im just carving shit from shadows now#which is weird#cuz with my markers its usually the other way around#cuz theyre pretty transparent#but this is weird in a fun way#and oddly satisfying#combining my unapologetic joy of portraits with whatever tf this is is fun#i think its pretty obv already who that is#which sparks joy#also did u know he has a bald spot in his stubble?#now u do ur welcome#eitherway i can't sleep so might as well#daemon's art

Exciting update on the "Making the House Awesome" front:

(The cat has already tried to use the mock-stonework as a scratching post, but not the door, which actually looks like wood. Cat logic.)
Anyways, this is looking great, and we're very excited.
#a tree; an enchanted doorway/portal (LOTR style); and a castle door#previously known as an unassuming wall; a closet door; and the door to the garage#the stonework turned out great#it didn't fight us nearly as much as the door decal did#and we had lots leftover so that's going in the kitchen too#our house has been declared 'nerd goals' by friends#which is the highest of praise#this is the kind of thing we wanted to do years ago when we first moved in#but never got around to#eternal thanks to the friend who's helping me make it happen now#we will all get to play D&D in a properly atmospheric room now#Making the House Awesome#may you all get to make your homes similarly cool#in the way that sparks the most joy

I was personally assaulted (honorific) by this essay on ambition. It's very good.
#megs is reading#I would've linked it as a full link but it didn't parse right. which probably means it has some settings against AI which. good for them!#hilariously I was complaining immediately before reading it that SO MUCH of the discussion around burnout and overwork are like#'well you should train yourself to enjoy things and live in the moment and say fuck work and not worry about it making you more productive!#and like. as a writer. as a person whose brain will eat itself alive if I do not write. NOT because augh productivity#but cuz [that one post about how if you don't draw the images will clog up inside you and make you sick]#this does not ever spark joy. I want to do the work I enjoy and find fulfilling! I want that work to be valued enough to let me do it!#where is my discussion around burnout for people who like. can in fact sit down and enjoy a nice cup of tea or cooking a pot of soup#that's not the goddamn problem here. the problem is that not all labor is valued and in fact very little labor if any is valued.#the products are labor are valued. the labor itself is an inconvenient stepping stone that it would be nice to not have to take.#ANYWAY I'm just going to go try to finish my fucking book draft now. and convince myself that it matters.

The way the entire "Previously on The Mallorca Files..." segment is literally just... Max and Miranda's entire personal relationship progression, from reluctant work partners/compañeros to Max having to correct people that Miranda is not his girlfriend to almost kissing while dancing the paso doble to Carmen rejecting Max's proposal like plot? What plot? You mean this show is supposed to be about solving crimes?? I am LIVING!!!
#AND THEN!!!!!#max has a fantasy sequence in which he almost kisses miranda???#the WHO???? in the WHAT NOW?????#and his dad sees them interact for two seconds and already has something to say to max about it that is 'nothing he didn't already know'???#could it be?????#could the tv gods have decided to give me everything I want bc I have nothing else in my life that sparks joy quite like this???#we shall soon find out I guess#but the fact that they've disappeared carmen and only to bring her back later in the season with a job offer in madrid (per the trailer)#does seem to hint at... some interesting developments#I seem to have lost the ability to get excited about tv couples anymore but this is... satisfyingly close#ALSO miranda is speaking more spanish this season than she ever has before (which is not a lot but still)#and it is... doing things to me#gracias por tanto perdón por tan poco#thoughts no one cares about

i think the thing about writing is that you need to enjoy what you're writing - the world, the characters, the plot - but u don't need to enjoy writing itself
#writing is a terrible thing which only sparks joy sometimes#but if u have a story u want to share with the world there is only one thing u can do#and i think part of it is that writing feels like such a private and personal thing.#artists - people who draw - can livestream and easily share wips and their work and people enjoy that!#their art can be absorbed in like five seconds and people can go 'i liked that'#you can't really. do that with writing.#writing takes a lot longer to absorb and so people - particularly in this day of video shorts and the like - aren't willing to sit there -#- for 10 minutes and read necessarily. if u want to share that sort of thing it's going to be a lot harder to build an audience#the point is i think that visual art is able to bring a more immediate sense of gratification to the creator#i'm rambling but the point was that writing HAS to be a personal thing by its nature.#please don't think i'm discounting all the hard work that goes into drawing btw! b/c that's absolutely not my point#i'm the video game boy; i'm the one who wins! 。・゚✫ ooc

#(huge relieved sigh)#I'm emotional over the little community that I get to participate in here#been on Tumblr over 10 years#been in multiple fandoms that I've made content for#and this is the first time I've experienced this level of interaction and community#first time I've had mutuals and had that actually mean something#I'm still terrified of unknowingly doing something rude or wrong or annoying (which is why I struggle so much to tag people) but#idk I'm starting to feel braver#I'm actually getting emotional thinking about it#sorry I'm just#maybe rereading symphony and noticing how lonely Violist-chan is has got me focused on how lonely I am too#and yeah it's not like I'm anyone's actual friend on here but just being able to interact and participate and be welcomed is...#idk#there's this gnawing ache in my chest all the time but this little community brings me sparks of joy that I haven't felt in a long time#sorry ignore me I'm just#i don't know#I'm trying to express my gratitude but I'm not doing a very good job#if anyone actually reads this just know I'm trying to say thank you for being nice and for letting me be feral over turtles with you#and i hope you're all having a good day

#not art#I TALK!!!#i have been filling my blog lately with these this little posts of me talking oops so sorry teehee#but like genuinely this game has cheered me up in such a way what an awesome game#god bless you parun thank you for creating such a wonderful piece of art#I REALIZED THIS BECAUSE I WAS CONTEMPLATING ON HOW MUCH I WAS DRAWING YUUICHI LMAOOO😭😭#how do i explain he just gradually over these months became a comfort character without me realising#I JUST KEPT DRAWING HIM EVERYTIME I FELT SAD which is a lot of the time oops#he just sparks joy okay its like wao...just like me fr... (no murder or many other crimes included) i wanna draw him today...#so do forgive i draw him so much i must spread the joy his character gives me with everyone by sharing the art i make of him#he deserves it he got me out of feeling dissatisfied with art😊👍👍#ON THAT NOTE I WILL SPOIL FOR YOU ALL THAT DO NOT WORRY...IM ALSO DRAWING EVERYONE ELSE#the rest of the very charmkng cast of characters#you'll see that soon . just a little something km doing in my free time#drawing the other characters made me have this whole realization anyway so its worth mentioning#they also give joy important to say ive been giggling thr whole time theyre so goofy

this has been the best winter for my plants ever. knock on wood, but i haven't lost a single one ;-; and i've been seeing new growth like crazy!! it feels like every day i wake up and see a new leaf emerging somewhere. that's WILD for a midwest winter lmao but i think i'm at the point where i know my plants well enough that even when i'm not being hyper-vigilant they can still thrive, which is soooo nice because i've been focusing more on other hobbies lately. i love that my plants have become more of an ambient feeling of joy rather than a chore (a chore that i enjoy of course, but it can sometimes be overwhelming). i feel like a sim with a +3 beautiful environment moodlet 🥺
#i need to take some glamour shots of my faves#my song of jamaica has EXPLODED with growth out of nowhere#she's so perky and fun#my monstera peru has finally given me a new leaf#i think i FINALLY killed the spider mites on my aluminum plant bc she's thriving now#my alocasias are putting out new leaves etc etc its all such good news#the only problem i'm having is with my monstera which i might just give to someone#i would never throw away a living plant but i'll be honest. she does not spark joy#so if someone else would appreciate her more than i do then i feel like it's my responsibility to make that happen#i might have to make a facebook just to use marketplace lmao#i wouldn't even charge money i just want someone to take her off my hands

Hmm I am having Thoughts about BJD heads again. This one is really pretty, has elf ears already, and is pretty much the same scale as the Dream Valley Vanora head. It looks a little more realistic in terms of proportions than the Dream Valley head, so I wonder if I got it for Vanora, if it would look like it goes together with the Muhyul head for Faolan than I feel like they do now.
And if not, well I have the Tianba eyes I got from the VIP bag from NYC dollcon i need a doll for (though i was thinking i'd see if i could get a 1/4 scale girl they'd fit...)
But we still don't know if we're moving or not >< I guess I could have it shipped to my parents' just in case
#quill's bjd adventures#i need to order a body for mercutio still too. I have enough left from the con that i'd saved for doll things#that i think i should be able to get both.#but with the tarriffs who knows. this one has a shipping option that's meant to have taxes etc included#but last time i ordered from resinsoul was in the fall before all this nonsense started#so idk how that might be handled now given shipping was included in that#i keep coming back to this head because it's pretty and that's usually a good sign#and it's more thought than i put into ordering the vanora head#but still...i feel like even though i saved that money for doll things i shouldn't use it :/#but the vanora head is a little less realistically proportioned#even though it is cute. it also has a more sad leaning expression and this one is happier which suits my vanora a bit better#ugh decisions are hard#i just don't want to end up with a head that's too hard to sell ><#which if this one did work better the vanora one would be with the botched dye job and all#but i've also been debating selling the boys i got for moshang because they don't spark as much joy to work on#but dollbei jun is *also* dyed and has my amateur mods so that would be hard to sell too#plus i bought all the fabrics and whatnot for them specifically#so i'd feel guilty doing that but i also feel guilty not working on them ><

Chappell Roan's musical stylings still don't super ignite my soulfire but now having caught good luck babe & hot to go on the radio several times this week i admit the songs have grown on me quite a bit. perfectly nice fun indiepop earworms!
#certainly dont dislike anything of hers ive heard! id probably be obsessed if i heard the songs at like 19#if she teamed up with king princess and hayley kiyoko it would be the songest song of sapphic tiktok#i love her vibe though. extremely midwest queer 👍#i recently remembered i HAD heard her before id mixed her up w riley pinkerton (aka the rat queen ❤) earlier this year#the memory jostled vividly because it was the week i realized id been mishearing the lyric 'hentai boobies' in ashnikko's slumber party lol#and i saw the thumbnail for my kink is karma which at the time only evoked ashnikko to me which i was NOT in the headspace to receive#remember listening to it thinking 'yeah kinda generic tumblrina music that's not especially sparking joy for me but IS better than ash' lol#(ashnikko probably has a whole discography of passable music but alas slumber party will indefinitely define her in my brain srry girl)#not every song needs to be technical masterpieces to b enjoyed. sometimes a nice voice & a Pop Chord Recipe that makes ya shimmy is enough#*taps the The Onion reviews mama mia 2 'not every movie has to be shindler's fucking list' sign*
