NEW VIDEO

LEGENDS ZA is a week away and I CAN'T WAIT to go back to Lumiose!!

Like, I literally couldn't wait, so I decided to replay Pokémon X after 12 years as a HARDCORE NUZLOCKE with only GIRLYPOP POKÉMON, to re-experience everything Kalos has to offer!

Pokémon X Hardcore Nuzlocke, but my team is really cute

i know

cecilily @cecilily.bsky.social · 1d

I really appreciate, really! 💛

I think the issue is that I have a lot of people who subscribe for fun pokemon videos and people who subscribe for political stuff and people who subscribe for fernanda torres and they are sometimes not clicking in videos out of that niche 💔

cecilily @cecilily.bsky.social · 1d

Maybe the biggest issue is that I want my channel to be about 19 different things at the same time.

It's crazy to be dictated by the algorithm because even though, art-wise I guess its something I REALLY want to do I always get scared for putting more effort than I should and at the end the algorithm just doesn't want to show it to people :(

Maybe I should save it for when the channel is bigger?

Call it a passion projects but unfortunately I know that to do it right I'm going to make it super ambitious. This could be an hour long essay, be really difficult to write, would require costumes and locations and – no guarantees that it gets over a couple thousand views.

There's a video I really, really, really want to write. Something like "Are we all Liza Minelli in Cabaret?" – basically a very very personal piece about Weimar Germany, the looming rise of fascism, queerness, genocide and, well, Cabaret.

this comment here managed to sum up PERFECTLY why the surface level discussion about gaming prices and the direction of the industry bothered me so much in the first place

That's because I didn't actually write the video arguing for it, I wrote two tweets 😅

I'm not saying it's on purpose – but US culture is a mirror of values, nostalgia, the rescue of cold war Americana

Just like Taylor isn't 18 and in a perfect American high-school fairytale anymore, so is the US being left behind by China in every single capacity and nostalgia is the only way to desperately try to recover that

That being said Im not going to write it because I'm a bit overwhelmed rn

But I could
