Some might not realize how much goes into being on camera/the mic. Knowing the exact words that will have the most impact, even down to emphasizing the right syllables. It sounds insane, but entertaining takes a lot into consideration.

So if I trip on my words be nice to me I’m doing my best 🥺
The least talked about skill for content creation that's cheapest to work on is oration, public speaking, and improvisation.

If you can be engaging while communicating effectively and clearly, it gets you a LONG way especially in live platforms (streaming/commentary)

As a day one fan, and I don’t say this lightly… this is the funniest fucking thing Caddicarus has ever made. Plz put 2 hours of your day aside and watch peak.
This one took a lot out of me, but it was the most fun video project I've ever done to date. I hope you like it as much as I did putting it together. Ask me any questions you have about frame rates in the comments 👍

The tragedy of iiSU is something that can only be described as exhausting. Too much normalized hatred for people who never asked for it and, frankly, don’t deserve it.
imagine you're talented, are earning money from your hobby/passion and are doing very well socially in your communities.

you could literally do anything else but be bigoted, a sex pest, racist or a pedo. WHY do they always choose these paths 😭😭

If nearly everyone had an STD, I’d still want people to disclose that shit.

If you didn’t see, I posted this in response to a prompt 2 weeks ago. Proud of how it turned out (and that it was heavily liked).

I think it is important to note that there’s absolutely nothing wrong with having a different neurotype, such as Autism (ASD), ADHD, etc. Pathologizing someone with Autism potentially exacerbates existing harms they’re likely already struggling with. It leads to harmful labeling and stigma.

Holy shit, happy 15(!) year anniversary to the release of Fossil Fighters: Champions (even if NA didn’t get it for another year). Can’t believe it’s been so long since the last GOOD FF game… that was half my life ago 💀

I have a few conflicting feelings about the character of Yami Marik specifically, but for a brief moment, his depiction at the end of this duel made him strangely grounded. Seeing him deal with the rush of panic he felt after seeing Jonouchi survive an attack from a god that would kill a weaker man-
Vol 28:

Man… what a duel. Seeing how Jonouchi and Marik duked it out in the book didn’t surprise me at all because of how legendary it is. Glad to see the anime did it justice (even if the dub tried not to). Crafted to perfection. Now it’s (once again) Yugi vs Kaiba. Can’t wait.
