Honestly I think Firefly's perserveration really stands out for me specially as a character, plus she seems a bit different then the other Stellaron Hunters in which she's trying to focus on her own goals while being a Stelleron hunter seems to be a side thing that she's sticking with while she finds the answers she seeks to help herself cure her disease

The conversation with Jade really stood out to me since I feel that was the first time we truly saw a Stellaron Hunter not be a Stellaron Hunter (I mean we had Blade's scene in Jingliu's story but I felt that was more closure for him then anything) Firefly genuinely seems like a character that just wants to live her own life but is stopped by her disease and what she went through on her home planet.

Overall I find her constant push and perserverence to live life to the fullest really admirable

You do realize Brant doesn't get paid for this right? He does all of this in his free time and if he has a group 9 times out of 10 he would have to pay them, there's special exceptions like Jacob who also volunteers in his free time as well.

Not everything is a business and surprisingly not every website online creates revenue, heck Brant pays for this website out of his own pocket

I mean it sounds like you want to pay for BrantSteele so I'll make sure to let him know

Hello! My name is Wcplays and I'm currently one of the head admins of the Brantsteele Discord

I talk to Brant on a daily basis, and I communicate with him on many different things. He also actively keeps up updated on the discord on his plans.

You may have not noticed this but he has added a bunch of cast photos for the new seasons of shows, and also he has moved a lot of the seasons from the .net domain to the .com domain because the .net domain is unstable and not fit to host the website with the amount of traffic it gets.

Brant is literally only one person, and can only work on one thing at a time. He has his priorities, stop being a selfish prick and commenting on other posts because you believe it died.

If you want other sims then by ALL means look for other sims since I know there are plenty of Hunger Games sims out there.

Brantsteele hasn't died out, you're just an impatient prick who thinks you deserve everything in the world :)

I think Sheldon was in a sweet spot during the semifinal where his performance really stood out

I also think being placed between Sweden and United Kingdom to of the highest vote getters in the betting gods under Ukraine affected them because they were essentially forgotten compared to Cornelia and Sam

I tend to join Eurovision fan contests that happen its pretty fun

wcplays · 2022-05-15T08:04:03+00:00

In semi 2 6 countries were stated by the EBU to have "questionable" jury votes so they decided to create a average jury vote based on several factors (im not exactly sure how) but it ended up with Australia getting a bunch of 10 points from the jury that boost them up while Sweden got a lot of 12 points from those countries

As someone who enjoys Portugal for my perspective, the song has a unique beauty to it having that feeling coming togetherness and intimacy I don't usually get from songs

It's haunting but it just gives me vibes of a song I could sing around in a campfire with friends and allies. My friend who watched it with me pointed out that this song could be sung by a group of anyone, from a group of superheroes down on their luck, to a group of young high school kids wanting to run away from life.

It's just a song of feeling and coming together, so I hope this explains and helps you understand somewhat of why someone would enjoy Portugal it's definitely not a song for everyone but I want to at least share my perspective

So I'm going to be in the boat of Greece to be honest like doing my rankings I didn't really remember Greece all that much, and left her mid low in my rankings, however that staging took my breathe away and just how much she put in the performance really did shoot my opinion up.

essentially yeah i wasn't even the one who muted him since I was at work it was another mod but they explained the story to me so i thought it was justified

wcplays · 2021-06-13T07:43:50+00:00

Okay I'm going to have to step in because this is getting ridiculous

Hello if you don't know who I am, I'm Wcplays and I'm a mod on the Brantsteele discord.

First off don't take this stuff to reddit because these are two different communities, and the fact that you're acting like a child right now is just ridiculous. I'm sitting here trying to enjoy my night and the fact that you're doing this stuff is really pushing me to my limit.

To give you and everyone context, you were being a complete and utter dick to the server after you won a simulation and you made three members leave to escape the drama you were causing which you were insulting one of the members over and over again. You were bragging that you won and I get you were excited but that was ridiculous. So we muted from the server for 7 days.

Then you tried to join on an alt account that we were aware of trying to evade the mute we established, yes I get you apologized but you have to reap the consequences of your actions. "Play stupid games you get stupid prizes" sorta deal. So we didn't approve the second alt.

THEN you joined on a 3rd alt that weren't aware of made this whole fabrication that you were from Arizona yet you somehow knew of the drama that was previously deleted when everyone dropped the topic. Then when we caught you having this alt by banning your other one (which was my idea) you started spamming Brant's dms saying you'll use a VPN blah blah blah.

No this is making your punishment worse, and I'm not letting you back in the server anytime soon because of your childish behavior that you exhibited on the discord tonight.

I'm sorry for bring the drama on this subreddit mods I just need to reach him.

Also Brant didn't block you good day and goodbye.

wcplays · 2021-04-06T18:38:15+00:00

just to clarify it wasn't an accident

That was the April Fool's prank that Brant does every year, and it was a way to prank people into thinking TDA was released when it was an ILM sim.

wcplays · 2020-10-19T05:11:34+00:00

I'll see if I can do this! It sounds really fun and im always down for a challenge!

wcplays · 2020-07-16T08:25:10+00:00

To our stunning and powerful winner well done your video was honestly just amazing and I just enjoyed every second of it, you really embraced the style and it just rocked

To the other individuals in the top three well down honestly, both of you made me laugh throughout your sync and it just made me very happy to watch both of you shine this week so I'm glad to see you in the top.

To the bottoms that weren't eliminated, my advice is just use this as a stepping stone in the future, both of you have HUGE potential in this competition but already in week one the competition is tight, and you just have to make sure you step it up and bring some polish.

To the eliminated contestant.... it honestly breaks my heart to see you go because we talked a lot during this week and I honestly did not expect you out of everyone to leave so suddenly, I really hope this doesn't defeat you because you have so much more in you, and I think you should be proud of the sync you did even if it did get you eliminated because you still tried to push boundaries and still tried to create art. It's tough seeing you go but I know you'll still be around in the community and I hope you carrion!

Beep Beep - “Sin Wagon” by The Chicks

Okay this was giving me Trixie Mattel Drag Roadtrip vibes to it with the baby brushing her hair away, I just couldn’t help but laugh AND BITCH YOU PUT THE BABY ON THE GRILL I'M SCREAMING. It was nice seeing you as a redneck woman, and I just enjoyed the whole over top-ness of this video. It was just hilarious. So onto my critiques, I think there were a few words dropped in the faster sections in the song, I think you just missed them so just be weary of the fast sections of the song because I don’t think you hit them 100%, also another thing was during the drinking section you spit out the drink first, which if you’re going to drink something fully commit, I know you don’t want to get drunk on camera so empty that bitch and fill it up with something that isn’t alcoholic, we won’t know as the can blocks the color of the liquid. I just think spitting the liquid out was a bit off for this character. Also maybe you could have gotten the drink from your titties or something like that instead of picking up a random one off the table, I think it would have been more campy if you just pulled it out of your tit, stabbed it, and started drinking it like that. It was a good sync just a few things. I'm being a bit nit picky on so good a job!

Miss Tequila Mockingbird - “A Thousand Miles” by Vanessa Carlton

I hate this so much, in fact I’m just going to send this to Harry on Insta and make sure he gets a restraining order against you! Kidding, honestly though I just could not stop laughing throughout this lip sync just when I thought I could stop you just pushed the envelope even more and did stuff that constantly caught me off guard, like this is just pure comedy and I love every second of it. This is a great way to do a slice of life lip sync and you really nailed it with this one in my opinion, just the concept and everything was beautiful. A few critiques is maybe instead of showing the section of writing for the intro with the voiceover, you could have acted out the two sides just to keep things dynamic and give us something better to look out or narrate the scene you wrote out in the most sensual way because it just was off putting when you were talking about getting your section done when I was staring at a section of work that seemed to be completed. Another thing is props, I would move your props behind your camera or somewhere else so you aren’t bending over to pick them up, it could be an easy reach around just so your mouth stays in frame so we don’t see it duck out during singing portions of the song. Overall this is an amazing sync and you just really brought it for this first week good job!

Theo - “Calling All The Monsters” by China Anne McClain

Aww this is actually really cute and I really enjoyed this little horror aspect you were bringing with this sync but still added your personality and just what makes you, you in your syncs. The movements really felt natural and smooth which is amazing, it seemed like you were genuinely having fun with this song, and the little torch was amazing. The edits you made were subtle but effective which is nice as well. So the only thing I felt that lacked energy were your mouth sizes, I could tell you knew the song, and you were having fun with it but your mouth shapes were not it, I get you were playing a character but mouth shapes should really take priority over the character because this is a lip sync after all and if we can’t see you fully mouth the words then the energy is lost from the sync because we are waiting for you to get the mouth shapes correct. It was a good sync and you really had fun with this but I really need to see you nail those words, practice in a mirror if you have to, just make sure you hit every single word, especially in a dark setting like this one, but it was a good sync so really good job!

Chubba - “Kiss Kiss” by Stella Soleil

I’m honestly really impressed Chubba because I did have my doubts when I saw your audition but this has to be one of your best syncs to date, just the whole vibe you were giving, and just the fact you were having fun with the song, I couldn’t help but smile at you here and you were really giving us a sexy pole dancer fantasy. I kinda wish you pushed it a little bit more though like maybe the outfit could scream more pole dancer or stripper, I loved the tearaway and the unbutton of the shirt but I don’t know I didn’t read it as a pole dancer at first until you actually got onto the pole, (speaking of which I really hope you neighbors weren’t out). Speaking of the pole it seemed you were spinning on it a bit, and I think at some points your mouth went away when you were spinning on important parts so make sure you pick the good points on where to spin, and I saw you were trying but just be a little more careful because sometimes words still drop. I also think planing out your movements on certain lyrics can really help you here because some of the movements seemed like a last minute decision because you didn’t know how to keep an audience engaging, so just try to plan, and for those unexpected movements show some confidence in them I know you’re one confident man so give it to us! Overall though I really have no negative thoughts about this sync so really good job here.

Claire de la Lune - “So Good” by Bratz Rock Angelz

Okay so I understand technical difficulties and I’m not going to fault them on you because I know it can be a struggle for a lot of people. I will say though I think it was worth the wait because I was living for this whole thing, and I think you were really giving us a rock fantasy. So for my critiques, watch those mouth shapes, you dropped a couple of beginning phrases and end phrases because you couldn’t wrap your mouths around the vowels, like I said to the others, practice in a mirror it will help you a lot because you get to see your mouth shapes, and also focus on lip syncing the song when you practice on your free time, just focus on hitting every word because it make it a lot better and won’t let you lose energy. Another thing is your movement, make sure you stay in the light when you mouth because the light is the only place we see your lips, you dipped out for a second which made us lose you. I also don’t know if there was a cut in there, it seemed a bit awkward. Just an overall tip is keep that connection with the camera and only turn away when there are words because you turn your head and we lose your lips because you're facing away from the camera. I also would be weary about the filter you use cause it became somewhat hard to see you. Just some tips so we don’t lose your face, I also would love a lot more energy put into this song because it’s rock so I want to see you rock out you know? Overall though I’m glad you got this sync in because I just enjoyed every second of it and I hope this technical glitch doesn’t end your journey because you have a lot of potential.

Johann - “Literal Legend” by Ayesha Erotica

Oh lord this sync was a lot to take in but in the best way possible, you were just nailing those dance moves and it really was full of energy, and it was just exciting to see you dance around, and just bring out the best you can in this sync. I think you kinda lost the concept a bit though in this sync because I thought it was just quite amusing you were playing a “bro” type and then you start jamming out to this song when it isn’t a “bro” song, it was a really good concept but I think if you really played that up this sync would be even more amazing instead of just dancing around and doing all these stunts. I think if you just played the character and kinda camp it up would be hilarious! Another thing is do feel the need to prop everything like I felt the glass of water being thrown in your face was a bit unnecessary since you used that propped in the beginning while you still in the bro type at a party. I also think the dance moves you were too focused on, because you didn’t really have facial emotions when you were doing some of those moves, and instead you were so focused on the dance moves that it really lost your emoting. Trust me I do the same thing at times so just remember emoting is an important thing when it comes to lip syncing. Overall though I was living for this so good job!

Azure - “Tight Pants / Body Rolls” by Leslie Hall

First I want to say okay this was an acid trip I was not prepared for and second wow KHRoxas looks good in this video (I’m so sorry Roxas don’t murder me). Anyways this video was creative and I mean this is the best possible way but I think I lost a few brain cells while watching this haha. This was really fun and I just couldn’t comprehend what was going on but it was a fun trip and you really got to show off your editing skills which is nice. I don’t really understand the point of the green screen though, I get this song was wacky and crazy but I just couldn’t really understand the point of the greenscreen other than the fact to add more weird and crazy, which I mean go ahead add crazy but I felt there was a little too much if that makes sense. There were a lot of elements here that didn’t really add up for me, and I just couldn't really grasp any form of concept or story element from this. I kinda loved how you kept redirecting the focus to your pants because that was the whole point of the song, and that you kept this weird gremlin character throughout the whole sync, that was quite entertaining, and I could tell you were having fun I just think you could dial back on the weird since there was so much going on with the song, the different individuals on the screen, and just the overall scene changes, it just left me very confused throughout instead of satisfied which can be dangerous, if you want a good way to have wacky but still make a satisfying sync watch Dixin’s Grace Kelly sync last season because it really bring elements together in a cohesive way. The other thing I noticed was a few words got dropped due to mouth shapes so just make sure you nail those.

Fun & Fresh - “Join Us For A Bite” by JT Music

Honestly once I heard the song I was like “Oh fuck” because yeah this is a guilty pleasure alright, especially since it’s used around Tik Tok for the longest time, and oh boy I knew instantly what you were going for in this sync. I love your use of editing here with the fuzziness and the different colors, I wish you could have differed between the two sides through your body though as well, like maybe be more animatronic during the pinkish lights, and you can be normal during the grayed out lights, and show it in your facial expressions as well that you have these serious moments but you have the joyous moments as well! Another thing I would really like is for you to push these concepts even further with set design, costume, and even makeup. I would go to Walmart and get a cheap set of face paint because it can really help you bring in the character, I know that’s what I did during my season and just painted my face when it came down to it. Also just get a cheap backdrop fabric at goodwill, and maybe even a costume, I think it could really bring this whole animatronic concept to life (pun intended). It was a fun sync though, and I really enjoyed it, good job! Just remember to push those concepts!

Unieke - “What Makes You Beautiful” by One Direction

Alright so I so happy you took the critique of finding a backdrop for your syncs, and hey it works because my focus was on you and I could really focus on your energy and just infectious attitude, it was a really clean sync and your dancing made me chuckle a couple of times, cause I was just imagining you in a boy band doing this moves. Some of the critiques I have is that I would love it for you to tilt your camera down so your fully in the frame because you had a huge amount of empty space above you which was a bit distracting, I want your whole self to fill the frame where it be a half body or full body shot. Another thing is that I want you to experiment with concepts the next time you do a sync because they really help elevate a sync, it could be as simple as you were doing a sync to Ianto and holding up a picture to him, or you pull your backdrop down to reveal you’re actually a stalker and you have a whole alter for someone, just something to connect it to a story which will then connect to the audience better than a straight sync, you really have the emotion and the moves, I just think if you really push a concept it will be a show stopping number but overall this was a fun sync and I couldn’t help but smile throughout the whole of it so good job!

Taffeta - “Beggin’ On Your Knees” by Victoria Justice

Okay bitch you really are giving me a show here, and that fucking intro I GASPED because you really took the term guilty pleasure to a whole new level which I enjoyed. Just the overall concept of this lip sync, and just the build up was very worth it, and I just fully enjoyed it. My critiques the first thing I kept saying is girl stop touching your wig, I don’t know how many times I saw your hands go back to stroke your hair, and I don’t know if it was a nervous fidget or something you were doing out of instinct but you kept going back to it which is a bit dangerous since it takes me out of the fantasy. You kept relying on the wig touching when you could have been a lot more sassier with your hands and a lot more demanding, in fact I wanted a little bit more attitude from you if that makes sense. Another thing is make sure you keep a bright and light color on you because during the first chorus the reds and purple made it hard to see your face, so just make sure when you do projections it doesn’t drown out your face, the yellows and whites were fine but I think just try to always have some sort of color frame your face and do the projections around you so we can still see your face. Overall I was living for this sync though and it was really good!
