Hiring high-level video editors with experience with either After Effects, DaVinci, or Vegas. Also looking for animators, including people who can work with MMD software.
Hey, I'm looking for assistant editors to help with some projects I'll be attempting to release over the next two weeks. If you're interested, you can contact me by email, Discord, X(formerly Twitter), and so on.
If you would believe it, I have been modest most of my life but am finally tired of it.
I can't decide whether to be receptive to critics or extremely hostile because most of my critics have almost nothing legitimate to say, which is very painful. Criticism is essential for a creator, and it's needed. So, it is maddening to have someone think they have something important to say when they have given no real thought to their utterance—just childish feelings without a shred of articulation.
With the advent of LLMs, I've started doing more basic research in response to many messages I receive because it's my prerogative to take people as seriously as time allows. The more I continue to do this, as I have been doing this for almost seven years with total strangers, the more frustrating it becomes to be mischaracterized and perceived through a reductionist lens. I give so much time to people because I feel I have taken time from others. I also feel that when people speak to me, they slowly reveal regret for having wasted time in many corners of their lives, which invokes a savior complex in me. This leads to most conversations turning into projects, as I'm not particularly fond of banter unless it's nested within objective-oriented discussion.
The most helpful criticism I've ever received was essentially that my online presence should be less authentic to have broader appeal to become more successful. This came from someone who claimed to value authenticity; different people have suggested this to me more than once. I say this is the most helpful criticism because it makes sense to put on a mask in American-esque spaces to succeed in entertainment. However, I wouldn't enjoy that, not for ethical reasons, but because I don't want to fit the mischaracterizations levied against me. It's my pettiness and fear. I don't want dullards to have the opportunity to be right. It is massively terrifying for an idiot to believe he's right, as it leads to conspiracies and demagoguery. And I greatly despise irrationality in people who are seemingly at the age where it should be under control.
Where does this all come from? About four hours ago, I was DM'd by a guy asking if I had read a play called "A Streetcar Named Desire." He seemed to be comparing me to the author, Tennessee Williams. The questioner aptly noted that I likely wouldn't have time to read the play, so I quickly asked the more scholarly LLM, 'Perplexity,' to summarize the key ideas of the play and explain who the author was. The guy in my DM mentioned how Tennessee Williams "interviewed himself" at the end of the play, which led me to believe there could be some accuracy to the comparison between Williams and me—as I had spent a year creating content designed to self-insert what I would non-clinically refer to as my 'multiple personalities.'
I believe I know the person who DM'd me well enough to suspect that this play was assigned to him for college, as he doesn't strike me as the sort to read American romantic plays from the 20th century. So, I assumed that Williams was just like any other eccentric writer. I was compared to Quentin Tarantino not too long ago, which I still don't entirely understand to this day. But as I went down the Tennessee Williams rabbit hole, it started to become more evident that this comparison was the most accurate one ever pinned on me so far.
Williams is often described as someone who can write for both men and women, which I also attempt occasionally, albeit mostly crudely. It is important to note that this likely comes from his bisexuality, as he described in an interview indirectly. I also experience atypical sexuality, and in some 'landscape of sexual identity,' you're likely to find a larger range of personalities within yourself to put into writing. This reinforces the idea of multiple personalities. But the similarities don't just stop there. The perhaps more obvious similarity most artists share is the dark history we tend to have.
My upbringing was not as crazy as his, but it was unstable, with moments of abuse all the same. Where we would deviate, however, is based on our generation gap. His coping mechanism was sex and alcohol, whereas mine would replace alcohol with gaming. So, when I heard Tennessee Williams say in response to the question, "Why do you do that—why do you drink so much?" Williams replied, "Some days when I don't have this..." as he points to his writings, "I'll have this," he says while lifting a cup of bourbon.
As obvious a response as that was, it was still revelatory to me, and it almost made me break down because my loneliness can only be assuaged by learning about other creators who suffer the way we do. So, I offer myself to others who lean on me the same way a midwife assists in a woman's maturation- a Socratic concept, intellectual midwifery.
So, please stop telling me that I am wasting time on people. Friend or foe, the void must be filled with dialogue, as I have many reasons to believe that my loneliness is infinite, humans are finite, but artistry expands like the universe. I cling to things people say under their breath because I hear that more clearly than what they say aloud. What's unspoken is more artistic than what is put into words. Dialogue is simply a tool to organize ideas that lose most of its content when written. This is why we, as artists, are never satisfied with anything we make. What is yet to be will always be superior to what is now. But there is much talk and I want people to listen... I say reluctantly, fearing words that fall on deaf ears. "I envy silence because I must be loud" - Khada Jhin.
If you would believe it, I have been modest for most of my life but am finally tired of it. I'm not sure I like this decision I've arrived at, but I think I'll relish in madness whenever the opportunity presents itself.
I posted all of this from an article I wrote on X (Twitter) while listening to music with a friend (oco.) After pasting all of this on YouTube, "If all of this text were lyrics for a song and the beat was good, no one would have a problem with anything that I'm saying."

I created a channel for people who want to keep things simple.
The main channel is now a device for my parasocial philanthropic pursuits.

The cynic vs the realist. 3rd image shows that subs don't mean anything and haven't for 5 years. Anyways, the purge ensues.
