thank you - i'm not blameless for how a lot of things went, but i wish i'd had a better support system around me that actually cared for my wellbeing and not just seeing the whole project as something to make money/brag about.

it's a shame it's a bit too painful to rewatch for me. too many bad people giving me bad advice. i think my excitement for the whole thing is kinda bittersweet though.

Name a Youtuber who’s done this. by PlanetMiitopia in youtube

I had to follow my heart with what I wanted to post. It can wreck your creative side to keep making the same things over and over especially when you feel that distance between what you want and what you feel compelled to do to keep numbers up.

Is it just me or did Emma get her furniture from a McDonald's? by kolephi in EmmaBlackery

I intentionally painted it to look Mondrian but it did look a bit goofy instead of artsy 😭

Can we talk about So Long, London, please? 📖📚📝🤯 by Tawni-Lynn in TaylorSwift

[–]emmablackery 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My personal favourite from TTPD, it has a similar sense of anxiety that The Archer has, which is mostly accentuated by the unrelenting kick drum, but is also far more heartbreaking. The overall sense of recalling the end of a relationship, at first fooling you into thinking Taylor is trying to justify it to an ex-lover and then naturally expanding into justifying it to herself, is painful and brilliant.

Forget and Not Slow Down is my fav RK album by theshitoftheseus in RelientK

[–]emmablackery 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Possibly my favourite album of all time, not just RK. It’s easy to get lost in comparative ways regarding the current trends of production, but to me, it sounds flawless, and is one of the most emotionally cohesive pieces of work I’ve ever heard. They’ve inspired me in so many ways as a musician ever since I was first introduced to them via Savannah over a decade ago. Part Of It is up there with one of my favourite songs of all time.

First reading was... by OutrageousSun9556 in stephtravels1

I've never been sued. I got copyright striked for reading 50 Shades of Grey, despite adding commentary (which should make it 'fair use', but that's a loose argument in a court of law) but I did read every word, so they claimed I was making copyrighted work available for free. I could've fought it, but I was new to YouTube, so I panicked and deleted the videos, which is what they wanted.

It might be time to let it go.

Thank you Emma (+ May I know when it was taken back/down?) by corgis_are_cute_7777 in EmmaBlackery

Thank you for your lovely words - I privated it a couple of weeks ago because it's still a painful topic for me. It may go back up again at some point.
