#and then it's 4 hour video essays...

[mosaickiwi]

Helloo!! I hope you're good <3 I wannted to ask for (REDACTED) where the MC have a realy big upcoming exam but cannot be motivated and diciplined. I cant realy tell a specific scenario unfortunatly but i realy need motivation to stay focused so i wanted to ask about it.

Hi hi I am well~ hope you are too <3 one serving of [REDACTED] for motivation

14 Days With You is an 18+ Yandere Visual Novel. MINORS DNI

~Low Motivation Angel~

Still slightly damp from the shower, you finally felt somewhat ready to study. You meant to do it earlier, really. But so many things had gotten in the way: a new update on a mobile game, leaks of the next Attack on Giants episode, a cat you saw in the lobby.

You weren't procrastinating! It'd get done eventually—just as soon as you watched a video Moth had sent. You eagerly pressed the play button on your phone, bright eyed as you walked into the living room.

A bowl of water and peas was placed on the bare ground in front of a pair of hungry ducks running towards the camera. Before they could descend in a frenzy on the food, your screen froze, then turned dark.

One pale, scarred hand grabbed the phone from your grasp. “Hey!” you complained and turned towards the offender. You didn’t think to wonder how they shut off your phone before even touching it.

[REDACTED] stared down at you with a pointed look, the device held high above your head. “Didn't y’say you were going to study after your shower? Exam’s in a few days.” He nodded towards your textbook on the coffee table, practically collecting dust.

You huffed and reached up in an attempt to grab it. “I've got time! Just give it back.” The phone was quickly placed in your outstretched hand before you knew it. “Oh. Thank you.” 

As you turned it back on and plopped down on the couch, the dark-haired hacker was mentally kicking himself. They really needed to figure out how to say no to you. It was a long standing habit that would only be a hindrance now. He knew how upset you’d be if you didn’t do well on your exam.

He took a seat next to you. “Please, Angel,” they tried again, gently pulling you closer to get your attention. “Even if it’s only for an hour, y’need to study.” The sudden pleading frown on your face had him fighting his instincts that were desperate to give in. Not to mention the abandoned puppy vibes you gave off with your wet hair. He managed to tear his gaze away, though his resolve was already crumbled into nothing. 

In fact, now that he reconsidered it, you didn't need to study. They'd just hack your exam score in the system. Or make the whole thing simply go away. Bribe the professor, find where they live and—

“I guess you’re right,” you sighed, unaware of what was going through his mind. All the scheming grinded to a halt the moment he heard your breathtaking voice. “But it's so hard to get anything done. I'm not sure if I'll be able to stay on track by myself.” You worriedly glanced at the intimidating cover of your textbook.

Your boyfriend was eager to help, but just as eager to jump at the chance of being in your presence for longer. Immediately, he offered an idea. “I could stay with you. Keep y’focused on work ‘n all that.” 

The worry on your face melted away, replaced with a smile of relief. “That'd be a huge help.” You looked down at the phone still in your hand before sheepishly holding it out to them. “Maybe you should hold onto this, though. Just in case?”

Without a word he took it to hide in the confines of his pocket. As you picked up the textbook and suddenly curled up at their side to get comfortable, the familiar scent of your shampoo wafted up to their nose. [REDACTED] had to remind himself to stay focused. Nothing would get done if he turned into a distraction.

#14 days with you #14dwy redacted #momo reqs #animals eating things my biggest distraction #and then it's 4 hour video essays... #i hope this motivates u friend <3

What Dan and Phil Text Each Other 4 + Familect (article)

watching the way of internet video content going the way of getting shorter and shorter is fascinating not because of it getting short but because there's been a completely opposite response of creators posting these giant video essay productions that are 5, 7, 9 hours long -- usually as a means to infodump and deep dive on a piece of media. i remember the days where the golden number for video length was 4 minutes, but i'm seeing trends go in utter opposite directions now. people want minute-long shorts, but they also want super long videos (which itself isn't incredibly new, but the long content has only gotten much longer -- people want a 45 minute video for a casual viewing experience). and i wonder if it's because with shorts, you're inclined to go to the next one and the next one for however long until you're satisfied, and the speed at which they go by doesn't allow full engagement or experiencing lulls between content; with super-long videos, it's similarly meant to keep you engaged for an extended period, just on a single subject instead of rapid-fire content changes. when videos fall into the five, ten minute area -- which used to be prime for viewers -- there's now this weird lull where you start to get engaged, but then it ends, and it can feel like an interruption. it's either we want to be exhausted via an endless stream of shorts, or exhausted by marathoning video essays that take up the same amount of time as a good night's sleep. which isn't to say that people won't watch the five and ten minute video anymore (even though, really, the five and ten minute video has been steadily replaced with the 20 and 45 minute video), but it just feels as though people want very quick bursts of entertainment, or they want the strange novelty that is hey, how the fuck did this person talk about the cop ship from law and order svu for seven hours. what could they possibly say for seven hours straight. i've gotta see this.

#there's always been the hour and two hour long essays but it feels like these 4+ hour long vids are kind of new in their popularity #i do attribute this to quinton reviews for his icarly and victorious videos. which have millions and millions of views each #all this said: obviously not everyone loves the super long OR super short content. the extremes are certainly extreming. #but i am in fact listening to the 7 hour long svu video and wondering how i got here. #🛹

earlier this year i joked about argentina balkanizing after Milei's fucked up neoliberal policies so it was a massive shock seeing 1968 documentary la hora de los hornos already use that exact wording to describe the country's earliest neoliberal project

#anyway did you guys know la hora de los hornos (the hour of the furnaces) is complete in youtube with english french and italian subs #i think everyone should watch it #chizitxt #its like 4 hours long but doesnt everyone in here love 8 hour long video essays. its basically the same

[jetsetmirror]

new hbomberguy video and new defunctland video on complete opposite ends of the long form investigative video essay spectrum. one exists as the lambasting of a spineless cretin who seeks to belittle all art and creativity for financial and personal gain. the other is a tender ode to the artists that pour their hearts into all their work, even the contributions some might sneer at and deem inferior. both made me cry, one out of frustration and the other out of bittersweet joy

#check them out if you have 4 hours to kill #defunctland #hbomberguy #video essays #YouTube

2017: whoops, my video on this topic is a whole twenty minutes long! i hope that's not too much for everyone :( 2020: oh. i've made this essay an hour and a half long. well, i had to explain all of this extra stuff so it's hopefully okay 2023: revise my script to remove the bloat????? NO, you will take my 10 hour deep dive into the Shagging My Garden Hose Saga and you will like it 2027: i could've removed this entire segment about the unfinished bone polishing mechanic in The Penguins of Madagascar: The Fanfiction Fiasco RPG Maker fangame from 2025 in my complete assessment of the Madagascar franchise but i don't want to remove a whole three hours from my week-long video essay

#'nyx your latest essay was 40 minutes' and im promising to never go over an hour on a video essay. #TRIM YOUR VIDEOS. KILL YOUR DARLINGS. #if you need more than 4 hours for a video topic consider condensing the bloody thing. good grief. #- nyx (they/she)

[blackcat419]

Omg Hbomberguy just drop an almost 4 hour long video on plagiarism!! I’m eating so good!!!

If you want to find out more stuff about James (video essayist who copy pasted everything except when he’s being misogynistic and misgendering trans and non-binary people as fem) you can watch Todd in the shadows video on how a lot of what he says is just false! It’s insane the amount of false information that he spreads.

TLDR; business majors are a net negative addition to society and creativity and with a large helping of misogyny, transphobia, and homophobia directed at AFAB and fem people.

#love me a 4 hour video essay breaking down lies piece by piece #hbomberguy #todd in the shadows #james somerton #plagiarism #business majors hate creativity and steal everything #Youtube
