how do i get my passion back.

i am begging yall, if youre going to make a video essay analyzing any piece of media in depth, the literal very least you could do is google how to pronounce names you're unfamiliar with or unsure of. it'll legitimately take you maybe 20 seconds and will drastically improve your video. you're probably spending hours upon hours researching already. please just take those 20 seconds.

okay so i ended up finishing it last night but was too tired to write any more.

first of all, i thought it was eight episodes (gdi) not six. probably because it was supposed to release on the 18th so my brain was stuck on eight. but i finished ep6 (where it ends on a cliffhanger) expecting the next episode to play and getting confused when the other show recommendations started popping up. i then also wondered if maybe the "last two" episodes would air on the 18th only to look up the show again and realize it has said 6 episodes the whole time. fml.

so yeah, that cliffhanger really sucked for me as i was sitting there expecting more only to get that dream yanked out from under me lol. fuck you cliffhangers!! (but yes, i know theyre good for shows, sigh)

as for the other episodes and everything, they were really good still! some things got a little far fetched such as how tf were they able to survive a 17 hour plane flight. and how the fuck was matteo even able to get them there. if it was half that i still think itd be almost too far fetched after everything. i understand realism isnt exactly the goal of the show but that part just made it a little silly to me.

also, im not even sure if i should say katie's death was too predictable because... it was that obvious. although im still not sure if it really detracts that much from the show. one of the first things they show us in the show is dave on a plane and katie is very obviously dead/a ghost, telling him to wake up. so we knew it had to happen at some point but once she started dozing i was like "ahh, okay. so she dies on the plane."

as for the little community on the island, that was certainly a surprise. the dream people arent as mysterious and scary as they were, they just live in a cute little neighborhood with everyone (lol.) yet, there still feels like there could be something wrong. its "too safe" maybe. dave seems to trust them but is he being too naive? especially after all those years of his life where he felt terrorized by them. obviously, it seems they were only there to protect him from "the beast" (the elephant man) but do they have ulterior motives?

and although we've seen the dream people now, theres still a lot that's unanswered. what is the beast and what does he want with dave, why does he look like an elephant???, what are the whales, what is the veil, why is everyone waking up now?

i assume that last one is to fight this war but what is that going to look like, how is dave going to defeat an army of... everyone on earth?

anyway, im not an expert analyst of tv shows, i didnt look very deep into everything and have only watched it the one time. im not trying to analyze each episode and find its deeper meaning or anything, i just wanted a place to dump my thoughts where it wouldnt bug my friends who werent watching the show (and so i could actually talk about the show without spoiling my friends.) hope anyone who actually read this brain dump at least enjoyed it!

watching the edge of sleep (new show on prime with markiplier in it, he told everyone to go watch it, etc etc.) im on ep 3 now and keep spamming my friend discord server with my thoughts on it while everyone's probably asleep. so i figure i can probably just start dumping my thoughts here instead. i'll start off with what ive already said and then add on stuff as im continuing to watch.

first ep done. its actually better than i expected. the opening segment had me wondering if maybe itd be kinda cheesy like with its effects and stuff but the rest of the ep was pretty good

im hooked already

again, the opening segment of ep 2 has me a lil 🤨 but then it goes back to normal and im like ah okay

like the beginning of the eps seem to be a lil weird but the rest of the ep is normal

show could benefit from slightly longer eps. even like a 45 min ep not an hr. but its still got me hooked.

pretty damn solid ep4, honestly my favorite so far. cant wait to see what dave sees in there and if we'll start to get any kind of answers. not much else to say and probably wont have too much to say per episode from here on out.

ironically, im starting to get sleepy so we'll see if i can finish this tonight. i might also stop live posting for a bit and finish up the show, then talk about my final thoughts at the end as i know some of the things im saying might just be getting repetitive.

finished ep3. these episodes are just zooming by, really wishing they had a longer runtime to work with. especially since we're really starting to get into stuff now. whats up with this triangle symbol, the dream people, elephant??, dave's connection with all of this, the shady companies being mentioned in passing (cynagen, dexalabs,) whats actually killing these people? lots of questions and cant wait to start seeing answers. kind of wishing i had watched the original podcast now.

anyway, starting ep 4 now. dave's officially hit 48 hours without sleep now so i wonder what sort of fucked up hallucinations he's going to start experiencing. is the narrator going to start being unreliable from here on out, meaning we cant trust everything we see since its in dave's perspective

will update at the end of ep4

the beginning of episode 3 started off better than the other two in my opinion. the sleepwalking part with dave and katie finding him was good, has me asking questions

we go back to present time and then back to the beginning segment with dave's therapist. this character is so goofy looking lol

also damn those "dream people" are so creepy, im worried i'll see them in my own dreams tonight lmao

back to watching for a bit, i'll probably come back with my thoughts at the end of ep3

you know that feeling when youre young and think youre essentially invincible? that nothing bad can happen to you, youll never be seriously injured, sickness will always pass, etc? that feeling quickly dissipates as you get older and see a clear connection to how you used to treat your body during that stage and how your health is deteriorating now.

hey clip studio paint users who use halftone a lot, i need help

how do i make my tone not look so tiny? its to the point where it looks all weird and moves around when you zoom in and out.

preferably i'd like relatively large tone for illustration purposes

also, i'd like to find a halftone tool where i can make the tone larger and fade out to be smaller, example in this image (look at the glove and thigh, etc)
