THE USOS REUNITE WWE SMACKDOWN (OCTOBER 25, 2024)

[hplonesomeart]

Hey!! So turns out a video I made between a certain “well beloved but highly sensitive/emotionally reactive T.V” and an “orange haired inkling-turned-human” has managed to sweep my YouTube channel and accumulate 100k VIEWS!! THAT’S A LOT OF PEOPLE ACTUALLY?? My most widely viewed video EVER to exist in this moment in time?? AAAAA?? Not even mentioning the various comments and staggering increase in subs! It’s so much more then what I expected or even prepared for—might even be the most impactful thing to happen for me this year <3

…aside from graduating high school + the social connections I’ve been fortunate to make lol

BUT THE POINT IS I’d been closely monitoring the YouTube growth through the entirety of October. It’s make me smile like a dork, gawk in astonishment, dance frantically in my room from the energy boosts, and grow courage to stop being so selective/self-conscious with what I wish to share with the world! It’s kept my ambitions going!

I needed to find some way to celebrate the occasion and express my thanks—because I can’t NOT acknowledge this milestone jksjskp. Typically I try to avoid getting tunnel visioned focusing on the metrics/numbers. Mr. Puzzles had already demonstrated how much those things can mess with the minds of creatives. Caring too much about chasing views or placing your artistic value in attention seeking gets damaging. But at same time…it’s hard to deny the sense of pride the 100k achievement has filled me with. I understand that reaching 100k views doesn’t immediately make me any “better” or “worse” then I was before. I’m still just me! It only helps me feel seen by others—and that’s all I really needed. To hear some nice words & receive reminders that my ideas are cared about. So thank you SMG4 fandom for that, seriously thank you.

Please accept this Mr. Puzzle drawing as a way of sharing the happiness around. He’s so entertaining. Love him for simply existing. So glad we can all collectively be super attached to him (and the rest of the SMG4 cast of course). Can’t wait to see more incredible artworks from the fandom :)

Just incase anyone is confused by my vague description over which “animated video” I’m referring to here—hopefully this photo will help clarify lol. It’s this one!! Sorry about not outright stating the title at the start, I got carried away with writing!!

I’ve been in an odd place mentally when thinking about it. Wondering to myself if any of the attention is deserved considering it’s not even fully colored and could be dismissed as “low effort” content (despite taking several days making it). It’s easy to get into a trap of comparing yourself to others and questioning how much of the videos success is based on your skills, sheer algorithm luck, or only because you used popular characters and catered to a specific fandom. And then judging yourself by looking at other peoples videos. I’ve seen several artists post higher quality works then my own but it somehow gets less views. So why did mine succeed when others (who should have gotten just as much attention if not more) didn’t? Sometimes you feel like you’ve unfairly robbed them of that chance to be seen. However I’ve realized that I can’t ever expect views to be consistent—and comparing is pointless. So why worry about it or feel inadequate? I mean it’s pretty common for funny cat videos to go viral, so who am I to question the system lol. “Popular” YouTube videos can range from a passion project which took 7+ artists…to a clip of Toad singing Chandelier or a nonsensical Vine sketch. Anything can happen when it’s the internet! And just-so-happened my video was chosen. I should stay glad about that and get rid of all the overanalyzing. So that’s what I’ve chosen to do :)

consejo

consejos que les doy de tu camino en la autoconfianza

Primero afronten sus miedos, enfrenten sus temores, actúen a pesar de ellos, gracias a eso, a mí parecer te llenaras de experiencias positivas y empezarás a reforzar tu confianza en ti misma. Lo segundo es, empieza a trázate objetivos y cúmplelos. Cada día establece metas diarias y motívate a empezar. Tercero, haz tu propia lista de límites, reconocer tus debilidades y establece estrategias para superarlos. También, alégrate y celebra tus propios logros, tus éxitos cuando sientas que tu confianza disminuye. Lo importante que te aconsejo es que transformes tus pensamientos negativos. Identifica tus creencias limitantes y cámbialas por pensamientos positivos, creen en tus propias habilidades y valía. No te compares con otros, evitar eso, cada persona tiene su propio camino, su propio proceso. Enfócate en el tuyo y celebras, sin mirar a los demás. Por último, aprender de tus propios errores, tu propio fracaso ws parte del crecimiento.

Espero les haya servido y motivado a seguir practicando la autoconfianza, sé que puede ser difícil cuando has pasado por situaciones complicadas, pero que te puedo decir. Lo que sí sé es que estoy orgullosa de ti, de tu proceso de cómo has avanzado tanto, todos tus logros son maravillosos y deberías empezar a celebrarlos, de estar feliz de ellos. Te deseo lo mejor en tu camino de autoconfianza, me despido. Si gustas de algún otro consejo me encantaría que lo escribieras yo con gusto te lo respondo🙌🏻🎀

look out, folks we got a new boy in town 👀

if this outfit looks familiar, it's inspired by hunter's guard outfit from the owl house!! :} brain conjured up "what if cross in this" and i went " OHOHOHO YES " and like yeah :}

supposedly a runaway ex-guard, War uses his uniform as a perfect disguise to blend in crowds. he needn't worry whether he'd be caught considering his universe had collapsed. (thank the stars, the empire there was a nightmare.)

he's not the only one who escaped, however :)

I say to trust the process whenever I'm doing any sort of drawing but then I remember I have trust issues.

But look, lineart! 😍😍

[iolite-moodboards]

For those wondering why I have not been making any boards, it's because a wave of no good feelings hit me hard like a week ago and I've been feeling like this

So I have not forgotten about you, I'm just sad but it's all good 👍

I like to think Kaeya and Albedo have a more or less joking deal to have a kid if Kaeya’s 25th birthday rolls around and he’s still unwed.
