Why does Shadow GENUINELY have beef with Tails?
I swear every time Shadow sees Tails it's on sight 😭

I'm curious about what kinda things made you guys start making videos and why it inspired you!
This is the EXACT issue I'm having right now and the only reason I'm doing it though Meta Link and not steam is because I want to keep all of my cosmetics (even tho I think steam is way better than Meta Link when it comes to purchasing stuff) if anyone else has had this issue than how do I fix it
I've attached every version of the thumbnail I saved (and how I created them) If you don't want to read this there is a section in bold mainly about the actual video rather than the process
I started off by adding my face in and scaling it up before removing the background. Next I added a camera raw filter but I kept the layer as a smart object (this is important for later) I added another layer and went into the camera raw settings which were saved because the image was a smart object. On the 2nd face layer I turned the texture all the way down. Added a black masking layer and smoothed out my skin to make it look nicer. After this, I added two curves adjustment layers. One for a dodge (highlights) effect and the other for a burn (shadows) effect. After adding that I added a selective colour adjustment layer. Going to white and turning down the black value all the way before repeating the same steps I did with the dodge but only doing so for my eyes. I then added a Hue/Saturation adjustment layer and adjusted until I got the blue I wanted before colouring my eye to make it pop more.
After I finished with my face I then spent around 2 hours straight in blender doing this exact process:
Change gorilla pose
Adjust camera
Import into Photopea
Adjust position and size
Repeat.
Once I was done with the first side I just merged all the layers of the gorilla renders together and flipped it horizontally to put it on the other side.
I added orange lighting around the image (because who likes a boring black background)
Darkened the orange a bit to try and make it pop a little more
Added highlights to the Gorillas (which is an incredibly small detail) + the finger painter, Illustrator and admin badges which connect to the video's story.
Added blur for depth. (This is so far the final design I'm probably going to use)
The title for the video this is going to be for will "I Survived Stickpocalypse" (basically Stickpocalypse is a Gorilla Tag event where every AA Creator, Finger Painter, Illustrator, Dev and Forest Guide are all given access to The Stick (the most powerful cosmetic in the game as it typically symbolises moderation)
I mainly just want to know if the thumbnail would perform well and if I should change the glow colour or if the orange stands out enough
Honestly it has to be one of the top 5 nights of my whole life.
I started the night by just waiting for the car that I was going to get dropped off in to show up. In that 25 minute time frame I saw both my best friends suits for the first time and he looked great. Same with my other friend who'd posted a photo of their suit on their Insta or Snap story a few days prior. After I got my suit on and went downstairs my dad immediately got a photo taken.
Fast forward like 10 minutes where I'm messaging ppl to find out who was going (one person who I messaged didn't end up going unfortunately but he can be a lil bit much sometimes so yeah..) The car shows up and I'm thinking it's going to be a range rover for some reason (which I would purposely call a G-Wagon because I play an unhealthy amount of Schedule One) Turns out it was a god damn Audi which was sick. I also saw my friend was in a Volkswagen Beetle with this really cool flame design.
After I got some photos with my parents (and my friend snuck in a photo he was going to put on EVERY STORY HE HAS FOR SOME REASON) I obviously went to the event. Once I got there I saw how crowded it was. Fast forward a few minutes and my friend from earlier shows up and we're just talking until another friend pulls up in a Mercedes and ANOTHER pulls up in a Ford (don't ask me for models because I am not a car guy at all) the rest of my friends got there and we went inside. Got drinks and just sat down and started talking and also throwing balloons at each other.
A few minutes later we got some food and the food was good (besides the veggie burgers). We were eating and just chatting to each other about whatever and honestly I think that was the first time in months where someone wasn't getting viciously roasted. Eventually one of my friends tried telling me to dance. I can't dance for shit so I was really stiff at first and I definitely embarrassed myself but not many people saw I hope so at least I have some form of dignity.
But the second the more well known songs were coming on that's when I definitely started to get into a zone where me and my friends were jumping around like it was a mosh pit. The stiffness in my movements started to go away when my friend began to basically ragdoll me lol. I remember a three song run of:
"Golden" (yes the same Golden from the KPDM soundtrack which definitely has ppl hyped)
"Mr. Brightside" (Which I was hoping would get played)
"Shotgun" (A song that was very nostalgic to me)
A little while later two people went up and straight up just began rapping which was sick (and if you'd allow my ego to show here I think me and one of my friends performing Forgot About Dre would've been goated)
At the end of the event during the last song (which was a pretty slow one tbf which was perfect to chill to and have all the couples dance. And I DEFINITELY took advantage of that opportunity. Besides me and gf had been dancing together for like an hour at that point lol). I remember saying how the past 5 years have been both really weird but really great at the same time. But if I could do it all over again I wouldn't change shit. When everyone was leaving I then chose to make the move to literally carry my girlfriend out of the building (why you may be asking. Idk I thought it looked cool or something.)
Once we were all outside I gave hugs to friends (not random people obviously) The first person I'd ever met at Secondary and probably my biggest ride or die supporter literally told me to "never change" and that I was making him emotional lol. After that sendoff some of us went home and some of us went down to the after party. I was one of the guys who went home (mainly because I missed my bed low key).
So yeah that's a basic rundown of how my prom went and why I think it was legendary.
I spent a year making Gorilla Tag content (which I really enjoyed and still do enjoy doing) but recently I noticed how much better videos on other VR games perform compared to my Gorilla Tag videos. So I'm making the move to branch out.
I've been wondering about this for a while how come this specific thumbnail did so well when it was so simple and I made it in like 5 minutes while the other one took me like 30 minutes when having to use blender to get the model to look decent.
In the first video "I Played Rec Room 2.." I played a few rec room revival projects to see if they were anything like the original game.
And in the second video "I Found Every Gorilla Tag Ghost" I attempted to find every gorilla tag "ghost" in 1 hour.
So basically. What did the Rec Room thumbnail do well. And what did the Ghost thumbnail mess up at and how can I fix it to hopefully have the video do well?
I have my prom today (I'm writing this at three in the morning because I can't sleep) and I'm wondering what the music was like for you guys. Was it good, bad, ass, not your style or straight gas.
And if your prom is coming up what songs do you hope get played and which songs do you hope never even get mentioned near your prom?
like bruh if I can play this for 12 hours then fuck school bruh let me js play the best Sonic game OAT
I've seen a lot of prom posts on here lately. I'm low-key kinda excited for mine because I just see it as a big party with a bunch of people i know. i'm more worried about how I'll actually look. i like the suit and everything I've gotten it's kinda just my hair I'm worried about. basically I managed to avoid having to dye it pink (it was a whole bet and isn't that important). Though I did have to dye it blonde earlier this year (this was for a bet i lost). now i'm kinda self conscious about it because i don't know if I actually look good or not. i thought it looked ok when i first dyed it and I think it's gotten to look better as it's grown out. it might just be me being paranoid lol but I wanna hear ur thoughts
