You were trying to figure out the fastest way to get out of this dumpster fire of a date. This is what you get for putting yourself out there, by the fervent advice of both your mother and entire social circle. So you went ahead and downloaded a dating app out of sheer boredom but also a tiny glimmer of hope. After quite a number of left swipes and a small handful of rights, you somehow wound up across the dinner table with… er, you forgot his name already. 

But you knew he worked in finance. Or was it accounting? Anyways, he was currently explaining the intricacies of the stock market to you, and the appetizer hasn’t even come out yet. And you realized that you couldn’t care any less. 

“I.. have to go to the bathroom,” you said, standing up quickly and pushing in your chair. Your date almost didn’t seem to notice, giving you a half-hearted acknowledgement and then continuing to drabble on to himself about cryptocurrency. 

Without another word, you darted to the nearest exit of the restaurant, finding yourself on the freshly rained-on sidewalk. You always loved the smell of the concrete after it had just rained. 

Your heels made a satisfying click-clack sound as you briskly maneuvered your way down the street. You opened up your texts to see if you missed anything during the god-awful date, and lo and behold, was a message from none other than Wade.

“Love the dress,” it read. 

You glanced behind you, then side to side, and once you turned back around, there he was, leaning against the side of the cornerstore. 

“What are you doing here?” you asked, barely turning towards him before directing your attention back to your phone and continuing to walk past him. 

“Ohhhh, so it’s ice cold today,” he commented, following right behind you. “I love that flavor.”

“What do you want,” you said while texting a friend about how disastrously the date went. “I am just going home.”

“Well, I was just walking by when I caught a glimpse of you through the window of that Italian restaurant back there,” the assassin replied. “Speaking of which, what was on the menu? I mean that place looked upscale! Like they probably sprinkle gold dust on their pasta instead of parmesan.”

It was an Olive Garden.

“To be blunt, I honestly forgot,” you responded. “I didn’t even eat anything.”

“Well, why did you leave so early?” he pried, this obviously piquing his attention now.

“I-I felt sick,” you lied, your intonation increasing as quickly as your apprehension. “Can we just change the subject, please?”

“Oh ho ho,” Deadpool chuckled, as if he struck gold. “That bad? I mean, I didn’t get a great look at the guy, but from what I saw, he wasn’t terrible-looking. Also, he wore a fleece vest. I mean, that’s just the height of fashion, you really can’t get any better than that.”

“Are you having fun?” you said, rolling your eyes as he continued to mock your absolutely colossal defeat of an evening. 

“Oh, absolutely,” Deadpool laughed. “The other point of contention is why the hell you decided to pull out this absolute banger of a dress for your first date with Mr. Finance Bro there and not ours?”

“That was not a date,” you enunciated, pressing your finger into Wade’s chest. “That was a drunken one night stand that will never happen again and that you even promised to never bring up. It was stupid and nonsensical and I can’t believe it even happened in the first place.”

“Oh come on, Y/N, you’re going to break my heart,” he whined, clasping his hands together like a needy puppy. “I, for one, thought that night was very special. I mean, you even told me that you could see yourself fall-”

Before he could say another word, you grabbed him by the hand and led him into a dark alleyway so that innocent bystanders wouldn’t hear you scream.

“Stop! Bringing that up!” you exclaimed. 

Deadpool was shocked his casual mention of the event elicited such a strong emotion from you. “Okay, okay, jeez.. calm down.”

You sighed, letting him go and turning your back to him. 

But he didn’t let you. Not even for a second. Before you could even react, he grabbed you by the neck and slammed you into the wall. 

You gasped, your hands instinctively reaching up to clasp over his while his grip only tightened over your carotid. 

“Besides, you know that I only followed you here because I wanted to see more of you in this ridiculously skimpy dress..” his voice darkened as he continued to choke you like a helpless animal. “I mean, look at you. That thing practically clings onto you like skin! If you weren’t such a tightass I would have ripped it off of you by now..”

He unsheathed his pocket knife and ran it across your lacy scarlet choker, over the thin straps of your slip dress, and onto your chest. He traced the outline of your cleavage with the dull edge, and then slowly slid it down over your taut stomach. 

You were trying to gulp up air for just one breath, but his hold was unrelenting. 

“I mean a red mini dress, are you fucking kidding me?” he snarled, his blade gently brushing against the garter belt on your right thigh. “Wearing my favorite color? With some other guy? This has got to be orchestrated at this point, Y/N.”

“Wade.. please..” you begged, lips beginning to quiver. Regardless of how much he joked around with you, he scared you when he was angry. 

He finally released you, allowing you to cough and gasp for your first breath. 

“But you know of course I wouldn’t kill you, I mean who do you think I am, a psychopath?” his tone immediately brightened up the moment he saw how much you feared him. “I just like watching you not being able to breathe is all. It’s so cute.”

 After you finally caught your breath, you stared daggers down at the vigilante who stood before you. 

“Listen, Wade,” you said. “I understand you are not exactly pleased with the current state of affairs. But this isn’t entirely up to me. And I’ve told you this a million different times.’

The assassin let out a dramatic, almost cinematic sigh. “Yes, I know, Your mother wants you to date ‘someone sensible with a stable career and not a psycho killer’. Which is perfectly understandable! I get it. I mean, I would probably think the same thing if I lived in the suburbs and made tuna casserole in my spare time.”

“Wade..” you shook your head and rolled your eyes. “You know it’s not that simple.” You walked up to him and gently lifted up his mask to reveal only his lips. 

He didn’t hesitate to grab you by the waist and pull you so close that your body was pressed up against his. 

You stood up on your tiptoes in your heels, stabilizing yourself by holding onto his broad shoulders. You weren’t exactly sure what you were doing, but you knew something within you just wanted to kiss him. But you also didn’t know if this was the right idea. 

The plump part of your lip gently brushed against his. The smell of your watermelon lip gloss was driving him crazy. He started to breathe heavily, and if another second passed where you weren’t kissing him he would say fuck it and just do it himself. 

You felt his hot breath in your mouth, and you felt your arms twist around him like they knew exactly where to rest themselves. Like they have done this before. 

“I’m so stupid for this,” you sighed, as you felt his lips beginning to close over yours. 

He smiled smugly into the kiss, quite pleased with himself over the hard fought victory. Without another moment of hesitation, he grabbed the back of your thighs and lifted you up without much effort at all. He walked over to the wall, pressing your back softly against it. 

You wrapped your legs around his waist automatically, kissing him like you would die if you stopped. You felt his tongue wrap desperately around yours. He was aggressive, hungry even. He wanted you all to himself, not some fucker in a fleece vest or anyone else for that matter. 

You knew you would regret your decision in the morning. And that no matter how hard you tried to deny it, you would come running back to him. Every single time.

Hi! I don't know if you already have a tutorial but would you mind sharing your gif making process? Thank you!

hiiii anon!

thank you for sending this in :) it's my first time getting a tutorial request hehe i tried to explain each step i do as best as i can.

i'll put the gif making process and tutorial under the cut bc it's image + text heavy

before starting, i'd just like to share what i use in creating gifs:

i'm on mac (i used to do them on windows... the ps steps are the same if you're using one)

i'm currently using photoshop 2022

i use 9xbuddy or video downloadhelper extension on firefox mainly for downloading videos

best quality to download for hq gifs is ideally 1080p and above. (although you can get away with 720p for smaller gif sizes)

i use mplayer-osx extended to get the screencaps/frames for my gifs (if i'm not doing the import option in photoshop)

for this tutorial, i'm using the latam highlights video from louis' ig reels to make today's gif. on to the tutorial / process!

please click the screenshots i've included below and zoom in on the texts on them to see them clearly (apologies for the quality!)

IMPORT YOUR FRAMES. once you've downloaded your video, open photoshop and click FILE > IMPORT > VIDEO FRAMES TO LAYERS

SELECT THE PART YOU WANT TO GIF. the shorter, the better because you want to keep it crisp and keep the file under 10mb when you save it after all the layers. here are the settings i use:

toggle the smaller arrows under the bar to select the parts you want to gif. once you have your frames loaded, it should show you a timeline table at the bottom and their corresponding layers on the right side. (if you can't see the timeline, go to WINDOW > click TIMELINE)

3. DELETE EXTRA LAYERS, CROP PARTS YOU WANT TO FOCUS ON, AND RESIZE.

after cropping the parts of the gifs, resize them according to the tumblr sizing to prevent your gifs from looking blurry once you upload them. you can use this size guide for your reference :) the gif's height can be any size as far as i know. go to IMAGE > IMAGE SIZE > INPUT THE SIZE. for this gif, we'll do 540 x 540

4. CHANGE GIF SPEED and CONVERT TO SMART OBJECT

once you've selected all frames

set the delay to 0.07. this is usually the natural, normal speed for gifs on here. it depends on the number of frames you have but i usually do .07 or .05 (sometimes .08 haha)

with all your timeline frames still selected, then select all the layers on the right side. go to SELECT > ALL LAYERS

then convert them to smart object so we can edit all the layers all at once. go to LAYER > SMART OBJECTS > CONVERT TO SMART OBJECT

5. SHARPEN (one of my fave parts!)

this is the basic one that most users use:

STEP 1: go to FILTER > SHARPEN > SMART SHARPEN

radius usually goes from 0.3-0.4

STEP 2: Repeat STEP 1, but this time change the settings to:

you can stop here but i like my gifs crispier and to have more texture! i use the sharpening settings from this tutorial or these sharpening action packs from user brainwasheds. i highly recommend these! i mix and match the settings when i'm not happy with how they look on my gifs. but for this gif we'll use the sharpening settings from this tutorial.

in addition to the settings from that tutorial, i also added FILTER > OTHER > HIGH PASS at 3.4 radius, then set the opacity to 60-80

then lastly add FILTER > ADD NOISE > NOISE at gaussian setting with 1.5 amount, then set opacity to 20-30

6. BRIGHTENING, COLORING, BALANCING, ADDING TEXTURE

now for the fun part!

STEP 1: BRIGHTEN UP THE GIF this is my go-to way to increase the brightness. go to LAYER > NEW ADJUSTMENT LAYER > BRIGHTNESS / CONTRAST then change its blending mode from NORMAL to SCREEN

you now have a very bright, highly saturated gif but we'll fix that lol

STEP 2: ADD CONTRAST BY FIXING THE BLACKS AND WHITES add a new adjustment layer > LEVELS

i usually play around with these. middle and black arrows add shadows and contrast while the white arrows add highlights/brightness to the gifs.

these are my settings! these are not definite bc it varies depending on what you're working on, so adjust them accordingly. next, add another adjustment layer > CURVES

i usually zoom in to locate the darkest / black area using the black dropper. then once that's done, do the same and locate the brightest/white area. this adds further contrast to your gif that wasn't done in the previous step.

STEP 3: COLORING (my fave part!!!) add a new adjustment layer > SELECTIVE COLOR this is the part where i like to neutralize the skin color when it gets too yellow or red, make the colors pop, and sometimes change them too. louis' skin was looking too red heavy, so i wanted to reduce that! i start with balancing out the skin color with REDS & YELLOWS.

these are my settings for this gif! adjust them and observe the changes it makes on the person's skin. if you know color theory, it's helpful to see how it affects the colors on your gifs. putting the arrows more on the left side, adds more 'cool' tones, whilst putting the arrows to the right side, adds more 'warm' tones.

i like to deepen the blacks on my gifs further so, go to selective color's BLACKS and on the black scale, add more to the right! for this one, i added +10

add a new SELECTIVE COLOR adjustment layer. for this one, we'll make the surrounding colors pop more!

for these settings, i made the leaves more vivid while the teal(?) wall, i adjusted them made it more blue.

next, add a new adjustment layer > COLOR BALANCE this is where you can make further adjustments on the overall colors of your gif. you can also change the color tone of your gifs here if you want to make it more 'cool' tone or 'warm' tone looking.

earlier's color theory applies here as well!

6.5. OPTIONAL STEP: ADD TEXTURE/OVERLAYS after the last step, you can save your gif as is but again, i like adding textures to my gifs so we'll add one. i use the textures/overlays that i got from here :)

i like to use film, grainy textures! add the texture you want on top of all the layers.

then change the blending mode to LIGHTEN or SCREEN. adjust the opacity to 20-40%. for this gif i used screen with 40%.

7. EXPORT AND SAVE YOUR GIF time to save your gif! click FILE > EXPORT > SAVE FOR WEB

this is my default setting for my gifs. i also tick the interlaced option sometimes.

here's the finished gif:

there you go anon! :) if you have any more questions, just lmk or you can directly dm me off-anon if you want.

i also get inspo, guides, and other tutorials over at @usergif

Hi there, its been a long time since I used this app. I got a new phone a few weeks back and when I reinstalled the app it restored me to my original hairy skinny fit body. I didn't have time to mess around with any changes during my exam season and then I completely forgot I even had the app downloaded. The other day I got a notification about a "special birthday offer" I opened the app and accepted but it just took me to a page that said Mode: Bodybuilder [Freak] Muscle Size Transformation: Extreme [increase] Height Size Increase 6.3ft >>> 8ft Stench/Body Odour: Extreme [increase] Sweat Level: 24hr Overdrive Intelligence Transformation: Moronic Oaf [extreme decrease]

I can't do anything with the app anymore whenever I open it now it just says "your transformation is pending, recommend purchase before transformation: size 7XL underwear"

Damn, which rookie was at work during the preset? If you do not do everything yourself! The physical transformation is waiting for a damn pair of underpants. And the mental transformation is already underway. Is almost already completed. Let's see what I can still save there.

Oh, you're almost at the "moronic oaf" already. So simpler sentences: Take your sports bag. Go to the gym. The address of the gym is on the bag.

So here we go. First, let's take the setting "Adapt the environment to the transformation". Then you don't have to worry about the fucking underpants. And then I'll organize a training session at the gym. After that, your birthday present should be ready.

Fuck, you are not small. But your trainer is a colossus against you. But already during the warm-up training you catch up. You get off the treadmill at eye level. And shit, you really sweat like a bull. And to be honest: You smell like one, too. While doing lat pull-downs, you can watch your back getting wider and wider. Your moans become deeper and more animalistic grunts with each repetition. You let the weights fall down with a crashing scream. Bruh, you are huge!

During the bench press, the first tattoos appear. Your clean-shaven chin disappears under a well-trimmed beard. And your just almost knee-length pants are barely able to cover your dick completely. Especially during the squats. You've outgrown your trainer in the meantime. In the parking lot, your hybrid compact car has turned into a monster truck. You live in an old warehouse, because in normal apartments the ceiling is simply much too low. And you earn your money as a building cleaner. In most rooms you can clean all the windows without a ladder.

Your workout is finished with situps. With your hands behind your head, you notice how your armpits smell of sweat. You get a hard-on from the smell. And your trainer gets a boner from the sight of your boner. Fuck, he can almost give you a blowjob standing up.

Bruh, you are one of the big boys now. Happy birthday! Was that what you wanted? You have deserved it in any case. At least for a few days.

Fondue Pot Functional for The Sims 2

Yesterday I converted a fondue set as decorative object but I really wanted a functional one for my game so I try to recreate one based on the chocolate fountain by Honeywell. Original mesh is from SIMcredible, low poly. The options are one for the chocolate fondue, one for the cheese fondue and one "cleaning" option. Two recolors for the pot. Sims will go in front of the pot, putting chocolate chips or shredded cheese in it, then they will light up the flame, food will melt and a cooking steam will start. Then sims will dip a strawberry (for the chocolate fondue) or a piece of bread (for the cheese one) and eat them in a loop (you have to stop them). It can be used from teen to elder but not for visitors, found in small appliance in buy mode.

There are some flawes in this object: lighting fire animation it's not on the same height of the pot and if another sims uses the pot while your selected sim is using it, the animation repeats so there is a chance that a sims will eat a strawberry while on the pot there is cheese fondue (or reverse) :D Sorry about that, if someone knows how to solve it I will be happy, modding is still a new thing for me.

Skewers are cloned from the Marshmellow ones so using this fondue pot will increase fun and hunger.

Hope you like it ;)

DOWNLOAD HERE **NEWS** :

I made a better version of this Fondue Pot with the things I have learned this month. Now sims can prepare the chocolate or cheese fondue and dip only strawberries or bread, depending on the pot fondue. Plus the fondue stays and can be used for 6 hours before getting spoiled. Sims have to clean up the pot (they can also clean it before the spoiled time if they want to make another type of fondue). Multiple sims can dip food at the same time. Also children and visitors can use it now.

Link for download it's the same, I uploaded it. Enjoy! :3

SpaceTime -- A brief history

SpaceTime is Australia’s most popular and respected astronomy and space science news program – averaging over two million downloads every year. We’re also number five in the United States.  The show reports on the latest stories and discoveries making news in astronomy, space flight, and science.  SpaceTime features weekly interviews with leading Australian scientists about their research.  The show began life in 1995 as ‘StarStuff’ on the Australian Broadcasting Corporation’s (ABC) NewsRadio network.  Award winning investigative reporter Stuart Gary created the program during more than fifteen years as NewsRadio’s evening anchor and Science Editor.  Gary’s always loved science. He studied astronomy at university and was invited to undertake a PHD in astrophysics, but instead focused on his career in journalism and radio broadcasting. Gary’s radio career stretches back some 34 years including 26 at the ABC. He worked as an announcer and music DJ in commercial radio, before becoming a journalist and eventually joining ABC News and Current Affairs. He was part of the team that set up ABC NewsRadio and became one of its first on air presenters. When asked to put his science background to use, Gary developed StarStuff which he wrote, produced and hosted, consistently achieving 9 per cent of the national Australian radio audience based on the ABC’s Nielsen ratings survey figures for the five major Australian metro markets: Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, and Perth.  The StarStuff podcast was published on line by ABC Science -- achieving over 1.3 million downloads annually.  However, after some 20 years, the show finally wrapped up in December 2015 following ABC funding cuts, and a redirection of available finances to increase sports and horse racing coverage.  Rather than continue with the ABC, Gary resigned so that he could keep the show going independently.  StarStuff was rebranded as “SpaceTime”, with the first episode being broadcast in February 2016.  Over the years, SpaceTime has grown, more than doubling its former ABC audience numbers and expanding to include new segments such as the Science Report -- which provides a wrap of general science news, weekly skeptical science features, special reports looking at the latest computer and technology news, and Skywatch – which provides a monthly guide to the night skies. The show is published three times weekly (every Monday, Wednesday and Friday) and available from the United States National Science Foundation on Science Zone Radio, and through both i-heart Radio and Tune-In Radio.

Stormtrooper Dolls

I should make a post with instructions, but this is actually a hodgepodge of patterns. Let's start with the Rogelia doll:

I used this basic shape for Cody and co, and added details and accessories from Toygurumi's Stormtrooper pattern:

I also got inspired by this Deadpool doll, though I didn't actually use the pattern, as I wanted to try and figure it out for myself, and I had a pretty good mental image:

I started with the Rogelia shape, but added the black lines from Toygurumi, and guessed at a placement for the markings and the waist bit. When that got particularly hard to keep straight, I switched to embroidery, because MY GOD straight lines in colour blocking!

Once I reached the neck, I put in a very thickly folded pipecleaner base and crocheted up in a peg. Aimed for slightly less rows than the head height.

For the head, I started by covering the neck peg entirely, and then did a sharp turn out at the point I wanted the head to start. (For a sharp turn, I increased from 12 to 24 SC before continuing on to 30, 36, etc.)

Looked kinda like a nipple, which entertains me because I am secretly 11 inside.

At that point I made the head the same way I would have for any other doll, and closed it over the top. Note that I kept the head on the neck peg to stuff it, and stuffed lightly so that it wouldn't squish the neck hole too tight.

I also went down into the top of the neck hole and back out the top of the head a few times, just to make sure it stays centered.

I did add pipecleaners to the arms and legs for posability, and little circles of cardboard at the bottom of the feet for stability.

For the details, I mostly did the belt, armour and helmet bits from the Toygurumi pattern. Hair was worked in the round at first, then pinned to the head and I kept going in the same direction, except skipping over the face/ears/etc. After I had a rough shape, I did a SC all around the edges to smooth it out.

Scars were embroidered, and Wolffe's eye was covered in silver nail polish and a topcoat before being installed.

■ About

Throughout the Fate franchise, pairs of masters and heroic spirits—also known as servants—have been fighting across history in a series of Holy Grail Wars, with the winning duo receiving an ancient artifact that grants wishes. Fate/Samurai Remnant continues the series’ epic Holy Grail War in the fourth year of the Keian Era, Edo Period Japan. It has been several decades since the end of a turbulent, blood-soaked era, and while the people are finally enjoying peace and tranquility, a battle between seven pairs of masters and servants is about to begin as the “Waxing Moon Ritual” unfolds in the shadows. This is where the game’s hero, Miyamoto Iori, a young man in Asakusa, finds himself caught in the violence alongside his servant Saber, as they fight to be the last pair remaining in order to receive the granter of wishes, the “Waxing Moon Vessel”.

In Fate/Samurai Remnant, players control Miyamoto Iori, a master who studied the Niten Ichiryu style of swordsmanship. He fights alongside Saber, a servant who possesses strength beyond that of humans! When facing enemies beyond human control, players will be able to instruct their servant to attack with powerful magical techniques, or even take direct control of the servant to attack the enemy swarm. Dynamic battle scenes between servants help elevate the action to new heights and are must-see contests for fans of the series!

Throughout the game, players get the chance to explore the town of Edo, where row houses, samurai residences, and brothels stand side by side. Here, many people frequent the streets and characters drawn with a distinct Japanese touch are brought to life. While following the story of the “Waxing Moon Ritual”, players will be able to interact with various characters and animals in town, explore a variety of areas, and take on a wide array of challenges as they fight for survival in the latest Holy Grail War!

■ Story

The 4th year of the Keian Era, Edo Period. Forty-eight years had passed since Ieyasu, the sovereign of Japan, opened the capital to the Tokugawa shogunate. The reign of the Tokugawa was passed down to the fourth Shogun, Ietsuna. The number of people living in Edo increased day by day, and the city seemed to be enjoying its prosperity. However, due to a succession of dissolutions and revocations by the feudal lords, the streets were filled with ronin, and the peaceful days of Edo seemed to be fading.

In Asakusa, a town in Edo, there was a young man named Miyamoto Iori. He was the adopted son and apprentice of the great swordsman Miyamoto Musashi. Iori chose not to serve under a lord, but rather spent his days training his swordsmanship. One day, he noticed an unfamiliar bruise on the back of his hand. Iori would soon find himself trapped in the midst of a horrific conflict, a battle of blood and trickery.

The battle over the “Waxing Moon” which could grant any and all wishes – the “Waxing Moon Ritual”. The seven individuals seeking their wish, or Masters, are the bearers of the Ritual. The seven Heroic Spirits, or Servants, are summoned to this world by their Masters. The curtain rises on the battle between the seven Masters with their seven Servants.

“I suppose…you’re the one who summoned me?”

◆ Master and Servant Work Together During Battles

Control the Master and Servant during battles and use their bond with each other to survive. Use a variety of attacks to gain an advantage while assessing the enemy and situation of the battle.

Master

Iori’s weapon of choice are swords. He fights by switching between five different stances, each with its own characteristics, depending on the situation. For example, Earth Stance is excellent for defense, while Water Stance is best suited for fighting multiple opponents at once. If he is unable to use his sword for certain enemies, he can use magic to counter them. Servant image image image Saber fights with great power as a Servant and can shoot water from their sword. Even the strongest enemies would stand no chance against Saber’s brilliant swordplay. When you control Iori, your Servant will make decisions and act independently.

Servant

Saber fights with great power as a Servant and can shoot water from their sword. Even the strongest enemies would stand no chance against Saber’s brilliant swordplay. When you control Iori, your Servant will make decisions and act independently.

As a human, Iori’s sword cannot overcome powerful enemies, such as Servants. However, if the enemy’s Shell Gauge is depleted by Saber’s Affinity Technique, Iori’s attacks will be able to reach them.

◆ Explore Edo

Yoshiwara, Kanda, Akasaka… Various famous places in Edo will act as the stage of the Ritual. As you explore the city, you may fight with other Masters, or you may also learn things that will help you grow as a Master. You can interact with the people who live in Edo, replenish your energy at a food stall, or play with dogs and cats.

An early demo of Fate/Samurai Remnant will be playable at Anime Expo 2023, which will run from July 1 to 4, 2023 at the Los Angeles Convention Center. Attendees can find Fate/Samurai Remnant playable at the Aniplex of America booth in the entertainment hall.

Yu Fujimura V2 Review

I think some may have forgotten this was started as a review blog, and I kind of did too ; _ ;  I’ve been going through a massive burnout these past 8 months or so and not really doing anything with UTAU at all, including keeping up with these reviews...I’m still working on the requests though, just maybe not in chronological order!

This review was requested by Yupphire.

*Art by Yupphire

Hear a Sample of Yu Fujimura 

Bio

Name: 藤村ユウ/Yu Fujimura Gender: ??? Pronouns: Any Age: Looks 11 Height: 136cm (4'5") Species: ??? Voiced and Oto by Yupphire

Yu Fujimura was born from one's desire to create music. Their physical form is only made up of miscellaneous notes and melodies, hoping to one day share them with the world.

Official Site

Yu has an official website on Carrd. Voicebank downloads are linked on the home page. The V2 VCV is 381 MB when unzipped and comes with fully generated .frq files.

First Impressions

Yu has a childish and feminine voice with nasal qualities who’s great for adding “oomph” and power to a project.

Configuration

The voicebank has C4, F4, and A#4 pitches and a Soft pitch recorded at E4. The only extras are end breaths and glottal stops, which interestingly are only available as vowel transitions. The transitions between pitches are very smooth, which I extra appreciate since I struggle with it in my own banks.

The vocal range peters out at about G3, but can go up to about F5 or so with no difficulty. Using the soft pitch makes the low range sound less nasally and more pleasant. but only increases the low range a little bit. I was a little disappointed with how similar the soft pitch sounds in tone to the other 3, I would love to hear this voice type with more timbres to pick from. The Soft pitch does have a slightly different enunciation/sound, but UTAU brightens the sound and makes it sound more like their other pitches.

Yu’s oto uses consistent values for every category except the offset, with a 1:3 ratio for the overlap/preutterance.

My recommended flags: F1Y50B0

My recommended resamplers: TIPS, f2resamp

Final Thoughts

Yu’s strong tone and pretty singing voice make for a really fun voice to play around with ♡ This is only the creator’s second voicebank, which is really impressive! Keep going!

Got any other UTAUs you want me to review? Send an ask!

Each character also has their own individual Rank, so trying new characters in Ranked Matches is more approachable than ever.

Wait—There’s More!

As a celebration of the entire Street Fighter series, we’re introducing the Battle Damage Feature! During fights, characters will get sweatier, develop cuts and bruises, along with other signs of heated battle appearing on their faces and clothing. This is only available in certain offline modes and can be turned off in Settings.

i wanna see the height difference between ur stu and murdoc sims.......

I had to download a height mod, because the Sims 4 tragically doesn't come with built-in height customization-- it's a bit wonky with the proportions as everything gets shrunken or increased at once, but this is roughly what we're working with for now! (I'd be fine with making it more dramatic but they start looking a bit too mismatched, tragically.)

Murdoc tries to close the gap in an assortment of heels and platforms, but I'm determined not to let him...

Topic :- What Is YouTube Thumbnails and How to download thumbnails free

Introduction

YouTube has evolved into much more than just a video-sharing platform. It's a world of endless possibilities, and creating a successful channel has become a dream for many. While content quality is crucial, there's one often underestimated factor that can significantly boost your channel's success - YouTube thumbnails.

Welcome to our YouTube Thumbnail Downloader, your one-stop destination for quickly and effortlessly downloading YouTube thumbnails. With our user-friendly tool, you can access thumbnails in various qualities and resolutions, including 1080p HD, 720p, or 480p, all without the need for registration or any cost. Your security is our priority, and you can trust that your downloads are safe and secure. So, whether you're a content creator looking to enhance your videos or simply want to explore intriguing thumbnails, our website has you covered.

The Power of First Impressions

Imagine you're walking into a bookstore, and the book covers catch your eye. The same concept applies to YouTube. Your video's thumbnail is the first thing viewers see, and it's the book cover of your content. A well-designed and intriguing thumbnail can make a potential viewer stop scrolling and click on your video.

The Art of Creating Click-Worthy Thumbnails

The Dos and Don'ts

Let's dive into the dos and don'ts of creating captivating YouTube thumbnails:

Do:

Use high-resolution images that clearly represent your video's content.

Incorporate vibrant colors and contrasting elements to make the thumbnail pop.

Add text that teases the content and sparks curiosity.

Don't:

Overcrowd the thumbnail with too much text or clutter.

Mislead viewers with misleading thumbnails. Honesty is key for long-term success.

The Impact on Click-Through Rate

Your Click-Through Rate (CTR) is a vital metric for your channel's growth. CTR represents the percentage of people who clicked on your video after seeing the thumbnail. A higher CTR means more viewers, which can lead to increased subscribers and revenue.

So, how does the right thumbnail affect your CTR? It's simple. An enticing thumbnail grabs attention and entices viewers to take action. It's like the cover of a mystery novel that makes you want to read the first chapter.

The YouTube Algorithm and Thumbnails

YouTube's algorithm is smart. It doesn't just analyze video content; it also considers the performance of your thumbnails. If your thumbnails result in more clicks and longer watch times, the algorithm will favor your videos, ultimately leading to more exposure.

But remember, the algorithm also penalizes clickbait and misleading thumbnails. So, always maintain transparency and relevancy.

Crafting Thumbnails for Different Content

Different types of content require distinct thumbnail strategies. For tutorials, you might want to show the end result, while for vlogs, a candid image can be more appealing. The key is to align your thumbnail with the viewer's expectation.

Storytime Thumbnails

When telling a story, use thumbnails that capture the essence of the story. For instance, if your video is about a hiking adventure, a thumbnail showing you atop a mountain with a breathtaking view will draw viewers in.

The Mobile-Friendly Factor

With the majority of YouTube views coming from mobile devices, it's crucial to ensure that your thumbnails look great on smaller screens. Test your thumbnails on various devices to make sure they're visually appealing and informative.

Conclusion

In the vast YouTube universe, your video is a needle in a haystack. Your thumbnail is the magnet that attracts the viewer's attention. A great thumbnail can be your ticket to success, with increased views, subscribers, and engagement.

So, put effort into crafting those eye-catching YouTube thumbnails, and watch your channel soar to new heights!

FAQs

1. What's the ideal resolution for YouTube thumbnails?

The ideal resolution is 1280x720 pixels. This ensures your thumbnail looks crisp and professional.

2. Can I change a video's thumbnail after uploading it?

Yes, you can. YouTube allows you to change your video's thumbnail even after it's been published.

3. How can I track the Click-Through Rate (CTR) of my videos?

You can find your video's CTR in YouTube Analytics, which provides detailed statistics about your channel's performance.

4. What tools can I use to design eye-catching thumbnails?

Popular tools for creating thumbnails include Adobe Photoshop, Canva, and Snappa. You can also find free online thumbnail makers.

5. Are there any best practices for adding text to thumbnails?

Keep text concise, use readable fonts, and ensure it's large enough to be legible on small screens.

SpaceTime -- A brief history

SpaceTime is Australia’s most popular and respected astronomy and space science news program – averaging over two million downloads every year. We’re also number five in the United States.  The show reports on the latest stories and discoveries making news in astronomy, space flight, and science.  SpaceTime features weekly interviews with leading Australian scientists about their research.  The show began life in 1995 as ‘StarStuff’ on the Australian Broadcasting Corporation’s (ABC) NewsRadio network.  Award winning investigative reporter Stuart Gary created the program during more than fifteen years as NewsRadio’s evening anchor and Science Editor.  Gary’s always loved science. He studied astronomy at university and was invited to undertake a PHD in astrophysics, but instead focused on his career in journalism and radio broadcasting. Gary’s radio career stretches back some 34 years including 26 at the ABC. He worked as an announcer and music DJ in commercial radio, before becoming a journalist and eventually joining ABC News and Current Affairs. He was part of the team that set up ABC NewsRadio and became one of its first on air presenters. When asked to put his science background to use, Gary developed StarStuff which he wrote, produced and hosted, consistently achieving 9 per cent of the national Australian radio audience based on the ABC’s Nielsen ratings survey figures for the five major Australian metro markets: Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, and Perth.  The StarStuff podcast was published on line by ABC Science -- achieving over 1.3 million downloads annually.  However, after some 20 years, the show finally wrapped up in December 2015 following ABC funding cuts, and a redirection of available finances to increase sports and horse racing coverage.  Rather than continue with the ABC, Gary resigned so that he could keep the show going independently.  StarStuff was rebranded as “SpaceTime”, with the first episode being broadcast in February 2016.  Over the years, SpaceTime has grown, more than doubling its former ABC audience numbers and expanding to include new segments such as the Science Report -- which provides a wrap of general science news, weekly skeptical science features, special reports looking at the latest computer and technology news, and Skywatch – which provides a monthly guide to the night skies. The show is published three times weekly (every Monday, Wednesday and Friday) and available from the United States National Science Foundation on Science Zone Radio, and through both i-heart Radio and Tune-In Radio.
