Main characters meeting up be like:

the most annoying people are people who don't understand storytelling. they be like "oooo how convenient that this thing happened to the main character in the very beginning". yeah no shit. that's why the story begins here

you should get the orange soda, it’s amazing

saying “i want him” about the character but not in a romantic or sexual way . i just Require him i need to Obtain him

My problem with the "looks like a cinnamon roll - looks like they could kill you - is actually a cinnamon roll - could actually kill you" thing is that there's a very big difference between characters that could kill you and characters that would be willing to kill you.

Like, the opposite of "is actually a cinnamon roll" should be "would actually kill you", and there needs to be a z-axis of "has the destructive power of a cinnamon roll" to "living nuclear bomb"

worried that thing you put in your art or writing or game or music is too self-indulgent, too self-referential, too niche for anyone but yourself? fear not! you can do whatever you want forever. and you should.

Dear video essay creators. A video analysis is when you analyze a piece of media. No no look at me. A summary, no matter how thorough, is not an analysis. An analysis requires you to draw conclusions about the media such as authorial intent, real-world parallels, discussion about themes/worldbuilding/character motivation, and so much more. You have to stop summarizing something and saying that’s analysis. The Gaylors are doing more critical analysis than you. Is that who you want to lose to? The gaylors?
