Shout out to Tommy, cos despite his whole silly, goofy, dirty-crime-boy persona, that motherfucker is handling all this drama super maturely.

Cos like Tommy waited months for the QSMP drama to die down before making his little joke, a joke that was fairly lighthearted all things considered.

But then there was the backlash he got, and harassment — a good portion of which was aimed towards his mother and his family — and like he’s said he was upset and angry about all that, but instead of logging onto Twitter and firing off a bunch of angry tweets he just took a step back, didn’t stream for a week and just.. got all his frustrations out in a silly little vlog that may never see the light of day.

Like I shouldn’t really need to be congratulating people for healthily dealing with their drama in a private manner… but idk, apparently some people can’t do the bare minimum. And TommyInnit — that one guy half the internet likes to think is still a child — knows how to handle drama like a mature adult and well.. Thanks Tommy for being the Big Man in this whole situation!

#tommyinnit #discourse #(I didn’t mention him by name surely this won’t provoke the wrong people right) #(it definitely will) #(anyway Tommy doesn’t owe us that vlog #but he also deserves to throw hands if he wishes #and I’ll be sitting here cheering from the sidelines)

Had a dream last night that Etho decided to interject his next Hermitcraft episodes with a mini vlog about what he does in a day. All of it was filmed pointing away from him so he never face revealed.

But, he did reveal that he lived in Brightview Ontario (nonexistent, looked it up when I woke up) and lived in a ‘rich’ farming community. Basically the reason he gives the impression that he lives in the middle of nowhere is that in the winter Brightview has a population of 3 but in the summer over 2000 rich people move in and live their fake ‘farm life’ dreams.

It turned out that his dads business was just maintaining these peoples properties while they were away in the colder months and now Etho begrudgingly does the same.

#ethoslab #hermitcraft #mcytblr #Dream #honestly no clue #I remember the second he did a transition from minecraft to vlog I was like #nooo Etho #this could kill some people #like I think some Etho girls would legit just keel over at the sight #oh #he also was living with an immortal woman #no clue why my dream decided to include that #just some lady he met who’d lived for several thousand years #and he went #yeah you can live with me

what if truman from The Truman Show had just ended up being like

really boring?

like he was just literally a random baby when they got him. you have no idea what they'll grow into. he ended up being incredibly Cheerful and Quirky and waving at everyone and making faces into the mirror-he-doesn't know is a camera.

but they could have just gotten like. an introverted accountant who never emotes

what would they have even done?

#the truman show #okay obviously though i know this is missing the point #as the prevelance of reality tv and vlogs shows #people can get invested in almost anyone #it's about the parasocial dynamic with someone you think you know #the insight into their life #there's also the fact that Truman was literally groomed since he was a baby #we know they instilled him with a fear of water just to keep him on the island #i bet they were also nudging him to being friendly or silly or outrageous #because that's charming #that's entertaining #but still #man truman show is fucked up

Some fantasy traveler inventory details (like what they would carry in their bags), based on two of the recent costumes I did.. love finding random little scraps and items and putting them together lol

#it's obvious who's is who's since they match their outfits HOWEVER.. consider if they were switched lol #evil villain looking man carrying around pressed flowers in a cutesy lacy pouch #fantasy costume #what's in my bag #actualyl that would have been funny to make a video. I should make a video #I'm sure someone else has already done this #but like.. lifestyle vlogger type content however I'm dressed in fully costume as some weird elf or something #pulling things out of my bag and showing them to the camera and talking about how they're useful for whatever #but it's all fantasy scenarios and talking like it's very common #'and of course. i know it's a bit cliche #EVERY traveler has one of these. but you know. theyre just useful! thats why everyone has one!' *pulls out a completely unrecognizable item #thats like some weird fantasy world prop and doesn't even explain it because In-world it's normal and wouldnt need to be talked about* #'room tour' video and it's just like 'yeah I sleep on this mat under a bunch of trees uh.. over here by these rocks. at least right now. I #kind of wander around a bit. so' #Like a clothing haul but it's a potions shop haul or something and they ramble about some obscure drama in the potions community and how the #y hard to barter and steal and entire flock of sheep or something just to get one of them. etc. etc. #I could do ones for different characters too like. multiple people from different walks of life showing what they carry around with them. #just like this but more interview sort of vlog format instead of photos #This is where not having much money and not having my own house with land becomes an issue though #I think it would take you out of the illusion if the background was always the same. I can make small sets because there's one blank wall in #a room that it's easy to move all the stuff away from in front of and clear a spot and like hang up fabrics or whatever but still.. hmms #So one of those 'fun idea but dubious about handling the execution' things. also One Of Those Things where without looking it up you're 100% #sure it's already been done and you don't want to look weird since it's vaguely niche. Like if 100 people have done something it's fine but #if only like 3 other people have then you look weird maybe ghhjbj.. or only one other person gods forbid. looks even weirder potentially #Or do people not care about ''copying'' anymore?? idk. I'm not updated with the internet's changing culture. I just have a fear of accidenta #lly doing something like that and then people getting mad even though it's really just that I competely had no idea it had been done because #again.. I live under a rock and am unaware of everything lol. ANYWAY. also would require my face being on video which I don't like. Though I #would be in costume so that helps. I think to be fully comfortable I'd need light modifications to make my face look different. which isn't #hard but is more effort when it has to be translatable in multiple angles. ANYWAY. ghjbhj... Now I think it would be funny actually. maybe #one day. I haven't made any videos (aside from on the gameplay/sims channel) in a long long time actually. hmm'st

The Batfam is so busy that Alfred could be doing anything in that damn house and nobody would know a thing. Running a criminal empire of his own, meeting with MI6 contacts, cultivating several hobbies, hosting charity events and having unwitting, half-asleep batkids mingle on their way back from patrol (and heading to bed in civilian clothes) or distracted batkids mingle on their way to the Cave. Alfred could be watching fitness influencers and working out in the Greenhouse (he's got his suit and whatnot stashed in multiple locations for quick changes).

#I mean yeah he usually moonlights as “the guy in the chair/van” #but with the addition of so many people to help Bruce out #And also the fact that the house is likely empty (or close to it) a lot of the time #it got me thinking about how Alfred must be filling his time #HC of my HC that Duke is the only person who had a shot of knowing but since he works in the day and usually sleeps at night he doesn't #alfred pennyworth #man could be vlogging #running conspiracy sites about who batman is and how its actually that quiet butler who works out of Wayne Manor #batman #dc comics

need a dapg video where it's just like 'what happened behind the scenes of this moment'

wanna hear them talk about the angry bookstore dad or how they genuinely felt after those insane m&g crowds at vidcon/sitc or how much shit they talked after a youtuber event or what were they feeling after the first tatinof show

#like not necessarily the big moments or even private stuff but like the emotions behind the scenes? #idk i was rewatching an old zoella vlog where 7000 fan were surrounding them in london #and she had a moment after where she verbally processed what just happened and how she was feeling about everything #and i cannot fathom dnp ever being that vulnerable ESPECIALLY in that era but now?? #tell me how it actually felt to see thousands of people scream for you or what was the most surprisingly overwhelming moment #or when did the reality of this life actually Hit

So lissen, I don't have any deep feelings about Hank Green (aka @edwardspoonhands ) like some folks do. Therefore, I was caught off guard by how much disappointment and, frankly, disgust I felt upon seeing this tweet xcrete.

As I and others have said since the payouts for this first dropped: If you are generating money for Twitter Xitter* in ANY WAY, you are directly financially supporting the alt-right, fascists, and other dangerous bigots. When I said this before it was about being active on Twitter Xitter and thus generating ad revenue, regardless of how relatively paltry that is.

However, in order to be part of this creator scheme on Xitter, you have to pay money to join Xitter Blue. HAVE. TO.

I do not care that Hank is allegedly going to give the money he earns from this to charity. You DO NOT give money to a racist misogynist for the opportunity to earn money from the same racist misogynist so an indicted racist misogynist gets slightly less money. That's not how any of this works!

You're not fighting the system by becoming part of this!

You are, in fact, supporting a system that is blatantly, obviously, and by design meant to funnel thousands of dollars to the alt-right.

How do you not grok this? What in the world has gotten into you, Hank? This is not the time for cute little games.

I am so disappointed in you right now.

*Xitter is pronounced "Shitter" btw

#Hank Green #vlog brothers #Hank Green is Supporting The Alt-Right #I said what i said #Now is not the time for equivocation #Twitter #Xitter #X marks the spot where white people who don't understand how to fight the power gather

Hey, I remember you mentioning on your IG something about two types of popular artists and one being good at social media and the other being good at art or something like that (I can't really remember lol). But it got me thinking, any tips for how to be good at social media? Cuz I'm certainly not even after posting art for six years lol

Heya!

What I meant by that is that there are traits that allow you to grow on social media, and traits that determine what a highly skilled artist is, and those traits do not always necessarily overlap.

I've seen so many amazing artists that post artwork that blow my head off, and yet they don't have many likes. On the other hand, some artists at the same skill level who draw more popular things will get way more attention.

That is not to say that either is the correct way to create art, but there is definitely a formula to social media that is in play.

There are a lot of posts about how to grow a social media account, particularly on TikTok, YouTube and Instagram art spheres, and imo you really need to examine what you want from your art before jumping into social media mode

The stuff you create to pander to social media might not be art that you want to create at all - I'm lucky, because I am less artist more storyteller, and what I enjoy is telling jokes and silly stories to liven up people's moods :] this, of course, conveniently does well on social media. On a personal note, I have a history of being a recluse and not connecting well with people, and art is my way of trying to communicate my feelings, one way or another.

So of course, if you draw for any reason other than my own, my approach to art and it's relation to social media might be inappropriate for you.

All that being said, if u take a look at those "get big on social media" videos they always cite the same few points... And you can look into that, for sure, but this video sums up how I feel about all that.

I spent like 20 minutes drafting words after the above paragraph, but I really ended up regurgitating sentiments from the video... So really don't listen to me, listen to that video

EDIT:

I just realised I didnt actually answer the question with my anecdotal experience, so here's a list of things I did

1. Posted like 3 doodles a day on social media

I did this for 6 months on a side account on Twitter recently and got the account to 11k followers... And I did this for 3 months on Instagram a few years ago and I think got 3.5k followers. Of course, do not spam maliciously and make sure your art is still of good quality, but for those artworks I posted quickly, I did not colour, and mostly did clean sketches. This also trains you in the matter of line confidence haha. Again, this worked for me because of my set of circumstances (love for the media, want to tell stories, simple art style)

2. Focus on my favourite aspects of media

This helps with respect to burnout - kinda hard to burnout when you love what you're making! For me, it's character interactions and comics. I want to see my blorbos kiss and if I'm not the one drawing it who will?!

3. Interact with people

People eat up work that they can interact with. A choose your own story situation, one of those like/rt to strip a character 😭 those do numbers for a reason.

Additionally, if you post stuff people love, people will respond to it with comments, maybe their own headcanons, adding on to the work... I've gone into long looong Twitter thread conversations with people who added onto my ideas that I threw up onto the screen and I think it's also a nice thing to do to respond to positive comments haha... I'm not very good at this (read: bad at communication)

I think that's the key points... Hope this helps!

#people who are good at social media are good at marketing basically #theyre their own hype man who has something cool to show #and would like to show everyone that cool thing! #its not purely about art its also about charisma and trying to get people to be convinced that youre cool as well #thats why there are social media influencers #people who vlog and get popular because of the way they present themselves #me i am very much my own hype man #not really because im particularly good at art (im not) but because i have so many thoughts in my head that i want to share #and i need people to also be poisoned by these thoughts so i enthusiastically promote it #side eyes the blood soup comic i dedicated like 20 pages to #on my end it comes from the love of media and my desire to build upon the established canon #but i understand that not everyone is so intensely passionate about their own work... but yknow #you need to love your own art in order for it to succeed #just like you need to love yourself before you can grow as a person #its easy for me to say because i do have social media attention though #i remember so desperately chasing social media validation when i was 16 #so really i cant really say much regarding that haha #but do watch the video and hopefully it helps! #i wrote so many words... #heph answered

Would you ever plan on doing an art stream sometime? Or perhaps a game stream? :)

I used to do art streams, but I've gotten rather shy with my process in the last few years ^^;... Maybe some day I'll do another art stream.

I often think about doing game streams actually, but I don't know how many people would want to watch me play the kinds of games I play. But maybe I'll try it out anyway at some point! If it's something people are interested in.

#i like playing rimworld the most obviously #idk how fun that'd be to watch live though #i also like starcraft #the original binding of isaac is something i play from time to time as well #toontown (rewritten) though its so simple and monotonous after a while it'd just turn into like. a vlog. #i have sims and stardew and among us and stuff like that but is any of that exciting to watch? #idk. just ramblin. #it'd be fun to stream a strategy game at some point #but yeah streaming my art... ive just gotten really like... #idk maybe it was the huge wave of people trying their damnest to mimic my style #i think it made me feel like people only watched me stream to 'study' my technique to use #and not because they just wanted to watch or support me #so again. kinda shy on the premise. #bluh!!!!!!!

[quartergremlin]

and while we're here like. you guys don't have to apologize for triggering me or potentially stepping on my toes from the get-go.

I completely understand where the impulse comes from, considering *gestures vaguely at the internet*, but I don't talk about my squicks or triggers or anything. I don't have a dni list. that's not something that I've made public and not something that I expect anyone to cater to. I'm a big boy and I'm responsible for my own internet experience and how I react to other people. and even if you do talk to me about something uncomfortable, like. I won't die. Being uncomfortable is part of the human experience. And if it's too much I can just say so. 👍

#this isn't directly about you amom vut you did make me think of it #which is why its separate! #this post also applies to thimgs that i domt expect people to cater too #im mot goimg to pim it amywhere mor do i expect people to like #trawl my vlog for it #i suppose its really omly here for people who are here right mow #amd happem to care avout that. #im goimg to keep respomdimg to umecessary apologies im the same way ive veem #''you chill dude domt meed to do that'' :)
