Hi, friends!

☁️ I’m Nimbus, and welcome to Cloud Parade! 🎶

I love storytelling and talking about stories, and I make video essays about media analysis!

I hope you stick around and join the adventure! ✨

I think it's a fair criticism to say I might've been "too gentle" in my language wrt The Second Story; but idk. Saying I'm on the same level as any nazi/racist isn't the way to go about it if you want me to take you seriously
Well, I think it's time to check off "getting reacted to by a weird channel" off the YouTube bucket list 😅

Is it ironic or poetic for I (someone with a cloud-based persona) to say I'm "under the weather" when I'm sick?

My karate dojo just emailed us to let us know they'll be moving to a new building in February that's even closer to me, I'm so excited!

Okay, I'm in a good mood and can't sit on it any longer...

New video, out now! (Ignore the last 3 times I tried to post this, haha)

Let's talk about Ninjago.

It's done, time to play the Copyright Roulette!
My next video is 100% gonna be self-indulgent character analysis, but I wouldn't end the year off any other way 😅

Oh WOWZA!!

Thank you all for your support! I'm hoping to finally finish the video in the next day or so. And then a live stream is being planned for next week!

What's worse, waking up from an accidental nap or realizing your "I'll just close my eyes for a few minutes" turned into an hour

It's kinda, like, bizarre for me to have spent roughly the last 9-10 months making video essays, and to be getting my first ever YouTube paycheck within the week, and almost to 5k?

I still can't believe it. 🥹 Thank you all!

(Hopefully new video out before I hit the 5k haha)

Quick, does anyone have 62 friends?

I started watching this on my lunch break at work and nearly choked on my sandwich when my channel was mentioned 😳

But it's been a great video so far!! Would reccomend for some epic Hilary Layne/The Second Story break down (and roasting). Can't wait to watch the rest tonight!
The Second Story, AKA author Hilary Layne, recently put out a video claiming that the fall of modern writing and storytelling can be traced to fanfiction. That the process of writing fanfiction has utterly ruined...everything.

I want to set the record straight.

Bluesky often feels like tumblr in it's heyday sometimes

Since the algorithm is more user-generated, it allows a more comfortable space to exist, but it also feels like the people who inhabit this place are juggling self-reporting on themselves as an act of penance to be seen as good and when a...

I have no idea how I've found a video essay about the live action Snow White-- and how it's making me want to lean in and defend it a bit?

Last Christmas is the greatest christmas song of all time and the only thing keeping us from having the same cultural reverence for it we keep for All I Want For Christmas is our societal homophobia

Something I'll definitely be doing away with in the new year is hard deadlines for myself 😅 Videos will be done as soon as I say they're done, and if I have a deadline, start working on it wayyy in advance hahaha

I'm proud of how my art has evolved over the last year-- these next two videos on my channel will have thumbnails illustrated by me and are probably my favorite so far!

I can't believe I haven't taken the time to fully watch Sailor Moon before. I had two VHS dubbed movies I loved but never got into the actual series until about a month ago.

Finished Season 1 yesterday, can't wait to binge more over the winter!

A few years ago, someone with a phone number close to mine signed up for those MAGA/GOP text alerts/polls or whatever they're called.

Got this one today and now I'm terrified

Ridiculous that NETFLIX ORIGINALS are leaving NETFLIX. Where is Kipo going to live now? Nowhere, apparently.
‘Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts’ will leave Netflix on June 26, 2026.
