I'm out sick today, because everyone's catching things now that school is back in full swing, and of course I did something better than homework.

Now, I don't know how many of you people (you people being the two humans that will end up seeing this post) have watched the YouTube videos of one individual named Hoser. But just in case you haven't, here's a quick run-down:

This guy makes insanely insightful videos about geopolitics and goings-on in non-america nations. Usually not foreign policy, just their internal affairs. Now, one of the things that make his videos so recognizable is that he uses little animal dudes to represent the countries. This serves a dual purpose of

a) making the videos more engaging and giving your eyes something to focus on, and

b) funi.

This guy has a very specific style that he draws the little animal dudes in: it tends to be the national (or emblematic) animal of a nation, and has that nations flag kinda drawn onto it. Like this:

So, having made a fake nation a few months back just for the fun of it, I decided a good use of my time would be to make my own little animal dude, like so (and the flag for reference):

But that's just how it started. You see, I still had multiple hours that I could be using to get homework done, and you know we can't have that here. So, I spent the rest of my time (not a few hours, but maybe one) creating a fake thumbnail for a fake video that he fake made ((he did not make a video)). I was pretty happy with how it turned out, especially since I put in the effort to find the font he used and his drop shadow settings and all, so you'll be seeing that later as well.

This was all well and good, but how was I supposed to reach maximum heehee (to myself and only myself) if it didn't ACTUALLY look like a video?? The answer is that I wasn't. So more homework wasn't done, more time was spent, and I ended up with this (plus an actual video of his for reference):

Yippee!! I did it!! And now I have nothing to do yet again.

Also, if you haven’t watched this guy’s videos, i strongly recommend giving them a try, especially if you’re a Big Nerd like me.
