i mean yeah it's a nice song reminds me of its gatari amv

I feel like i've heard this song in another video like an amv or op or something. All i can come up with is this video and i know it's wrong.

>>34091
oh wow, she's making her own amateur film about the song
this lady is really owning that song

>>34092
correction, she made a movie and it's already out

>>34088
I don't watch AMVs.

>>34091
>>34092
>>34093
Bleh... That's terrible.
It's interesting in it's own way too. Often a person on Youtube will make a single video that gets lots of views and is the only successful video on their channel and so they end up baseing their whole channel around it no matter how ridiculous that is. There was a video of a person patting a sleeping fox that did the same thing, it's just a man patting a sleeping fox which is nice and all but hardly something to base a channel on but he did, he made merch for it he made a video where he went back to the same spot where he patted the fox, he did all kinds of stupid things like that to try and milk that one video for everything he could. Because it's all he had.
It's sad.

But then often I wonder if regular Youtube channels are really that different. Most do seem to be known for one thing and/or to base themselves around one thing and they end up forcing themselves into being a Youtuber of that one thing. Like video game Youtubers who only cover one game, are they really doing that because they just absolutely love that game and there is no other game or topic they care about or is it just because that's what their channel is built on and they are unable to do anything else?
Youtubers are sad people. People on Youtube are sad people too, Social media is a sad place and the internet is a sad place. The world is sad.

>>34094
here you go
non sad

>>34095
I said I don't watch AMVs!
You don't listen to me at all, you obviously don't care about me or you would listen to me...
I'm sad now.

>>34096
it's important to give new things a try

>>34095
Thank you! This is the video I was thinking of.

Many years ago I remember reading the Wikipedia article on Kyary Pamyu Pamyu and I remember it saying that she was half white. I checked her Wikipedia article again today and it doesn't say she is half white, the talk part of the article doesn't mention anything about it either. I didn't find any mention of her being half white on google search either.
Hmmm..... Was my memory mistaken in this or was there an error on Wikipedia or something? Weird.

Often times I will see a dumb picture or video on the internet of somebody doing something weird and think that's all a bit of fun but then find out later on that this person in question wasn't actually just a guy having some fun but it was a guy whose entire gimmick revolves around that and he does that professionally. In this case I was looking at something on Wikipedia and came across this, I am pretty sure it's the bearded guy in a school girl uniform that there are some memes off. You'll know what I am talking about if you look at it.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ladybeard

This kind of thing disappoints me. Because it means that it's not just some random guy doing a random prank for fun once and so it makes the world seem both smaller and also less fun. Because random people aren't playing pranks like that, the people playing pranks like this are known individuals who make that their life.

>>34099
I can kind of see it, but maybe she just has some of that, uh, what's the term, the subgroup ethnicity that most of them don't have over there. Ainu? Maybe she has some of that blood in her. Ainu men can grow beards rivaling that of a Northerner, it's pretty interesting.
But it's also obvious that she uses that eye tape and makeup to make her eyes look far larger than they actually are. It can give a bit of a hafu-like appearance when you combine it with other stuff associatied with European-ness. It's possibly the hafu thing was a rumor meant to make her seem more interesting or appealing to people outside Japan when she becamse semi-famous on the internet.

>>34149
Ainu aren't white, they look Polynesian or Austronesian but I am not sure if they are. I don't think it would make her look like that.

But yes, she obviously uses a lot of makeup and also many Japanese people do naturally have fair skin so it could be that.

>>34164
>Ainu aren't white
Didn't mean to imply that they are, but I was trying to think of reasons why people would think she was a hafu.
Maybe I was thinking of these people:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J%C5%8Dmon_people

>Liu et. al (2024) stated that Jōmon admixture in contemporary Japanese people varies depending on region, with admixture being the highest in southern Japan, especially Okinawa (28.5%), followed by northeastern Japan (19%) and western Japan (12%)

>>34168
Ainu seem to have some connection with the Jomon people.

>Jōmon-associated ancestry is commonly found throughout the Japanese archipelago, ranging from c. 15% among modern Japanese people, to c. 30% among Ryukyuan people, and up to c. 75% among modern Ainu people, and at lower frequency among surrounding groups, such as the Nivkhs or Ulch people, but also Koreans and other coastal groups, suggesting that the Jōmon were not completely isolated from other groups.[2][29][57][59][21] Wang and Wang (2022) noted that peoples with Jōmon ancestry during the Three Kingdoms period significantly contributed to the genetic makeup of modern Koreans. But this ancestry was 'diluted' over time due to subsequent arrivals of northern Han Chinese.[58]

There was also a group of people called the Emishi which are the previous inhabitants of Japan(so the Jomon) and where the Japanese get their Jomon ancestry from. The Nihon Shoki talks about them sometimes as the colonisation of Japan was a long process and there was frequent conflict between the Yayoi and the Emishi. There has been speculation about the connection between the Emishi(Jomon) and the Ainu for a while and I checked Wikipedia and they had this to say.

>It is generally accepted that the Emishi were ethnically related to the Ainu people, with both descending from the Jomon people of Northern Japan. The exact relationship between the Emishi and Ainu however remains disputed; they may either share a common "pre-Ainu" ancestor or Emishi tribes are ancestral to the later Ainu via the Satsumon culture.[1][2][20] Both Emishi and Ainu were historically referred to as 'Ezo', with this name written using the same kanji characters[clarification needed]. The Esan culture of northern Honshu is associated with this population and later gave rise to the Satsumon culture which is ancestral to the modern Ainu people of Hokkaido including some Okhotsk culture influence.[21] Unlike the Ainu, the Emishi were horse riders and iron workers, pointing to cultural divergences between early Ainu and the Emishi. While there is evidence for some agriculture (millet and rice), the Emishi were mostly horse riders, hunters, fishers and traders.[22]

>The Emishi of Northern Honshu primarily spoke an Ainu-related language.[2] The Matagi are suggested to be the descendants of these Ainu-speakers, which also contributed several toponyms and loanwords, related to geography and certain forest and water animals which they hunted, to the local Japonic-speaking people.[23][24]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emishi

Something else to think about. In Japan there was historically a difference in appearance between classes, this is not race based but class based.
The upper class were taller, had finer features and fairer skin whereas the peasants were short and stocky with ugly blunt peasant features. This is why people call Hideyoshi a monkey, because he was a peasant.

But this difference in appearance based on class is not only found in the Japanese it's in most peoples including Europeans. European peasants have blunt ugly features and darker skin too.
This is also mentioned in the Norse sagas.

I was thinking about Gyarus and it made think about my own school life and the subgroups there and I realised there were none and thinking further about this it seems that there are no cultural subgroups in the west now at all really.

There used to be goths, mods, hippies and such but now people don't seem to organise themselves into subcultures like that, instead they seem to identify around interests and political ideologies which have a lot of overlap and mean that these people often dress and act the same and have even the same interests anyway,a 'gamer' and a Far-right person might both wear a hoody and jeans and both play games and both have the same political ideology or a far-right person and a far-left person might dress the same, act the same and play the same games. Most differences in how people dress seem to be based on socio-economic background and not subculture.

I wonder if these is due to the increase in political polarisation in society but also I wonder if this is caused by the widespread adoption of branded t-shirts and hoodies and the widespread adoption of Tattoos. When I was in school I wore a pentagram and a Thor's hammer necklace and called myself a witch but now I have mostly grown out of that, mostly. But my brother who wears normal every day clothes and acts quite normal has Norse Tattoos, so instead of changing what he wears to show his identity he gets a tattoo instead and that seems to be what pretty much everybody does now, they either will get a tattoo or a hoody or t-shirt with their favourite band on it or something meaning that in the end everybody is covered in tattoos and wearing t-shirts, so they are not really any different to each other.

I should clarify. I'm not a girl, witch is what practitioners of witchcraft are called regardless of gender. Sort off, I think some people call them warlocks as well.

>>34313
>I'm not a girl
Bullshit

>>34313
Practitioners of witchcraft are called girls???

>>34313
>warlocks
Yeah, that's because it's originally an insult made up of two obsolete Old English words, wǣr (truth/agrement/etc) and loga (liar/deceiver), whereas witch doesn't have that overtly negative meaning, not at an etymological level at least.
>>34317
Yeah, it's part of their secret ritual's forceful feminization. My friend was never the same...

Wicca(modern witch craft) is made up which is why I don't follow it anymore. It was developed by a guy in the early-mid 20th century who claimed to have this knowledge passed on to him by a still existing coven(that he never proved actually existed).

Witch is not a gendered term itself but most witches were female and in the popular imagination witches are female, the guy who invented Wicca was trying to link it to Witch hunts and trials so that's probably why he choose witch, he was trying to say that his new religion was a continuation of those people who were targeted(it's not). Apparently in Scotland male witches were called Warlocks, I did a quick search of my copy of Demonologie which war written by King James the 1st to see if Warlocks are mentioned by they aren't, he uses the term Witch to apply to men and women but he says there are 20 female practitioners of withcraft for every one male and he says the reason for that is because women are weaker as can be seen in the Bible in the case of Eve and the Snake. But as I said, I only briefly looked through it so the word warlock might be used in it somewhere, I just could not find it.

When I was in highschool, a decade ago right when all the politics shit was starting, there were still a bunch of sub culture or cliques. Most of the sub cultures I saw were ones related to band or "honors" courses but their was quite a diversity in there and they had members from outside of band. Weeaboos, wolf girls, wannabe popular kids, stoners, preppy kids, computer nerds, jocks, the memers, ect.. were all there. I think the classic goth sub culture wasn't visible to me but there were emos, or maybe just alt kids, definitely in the "regular" classes; there weren't really emos in band from what I recall.

I've got a younger brother whose only a couple years removed from highschool, he definitely experienced more of the political stuff. One of his english teachers was blue haired asian millennial that had an open disdain for her male students. It probably didn't help that my brother and his friends were troublemakers but she was also the only teacher that complaints ever came from. There were also incidents with dyed haired students accusing specific male students of groping them in the hallway while my brother was there. My brother was a baseball player and hung around more of the jock/partier kids so I'm sure what I hear is skewed but it does seem like highschool was getting more politicized while he was there; particular with respect to the stereotypical feminist sub-culture.

All this said I would be concerned that any observation you or I make about school sub-cultures is distorted by us not being "in the know" and thus not being able to recognize what marks someone as being apart of a specific teen sub-culture; especially when you consider how much social interaction is online these days.

>>34321
>wolf girls
Huh?? In Highschool? I remember pretending to be a wolf in primary school and maybe middle school but not high school, that's weird.

Those groups aren't really subcultures in the same way that mods and goth are, they are just people that have an interest in something but they still act and dress the same and there is a lot of overlap(aside from Wolf Girls maybe but I don't know what they are). We had interest groups like that too, minus the weeaboos and Wolf girls, nobody in my high school even watched anime, not that I know of anyway and certainly nobody ever talked about it, not even the guy that was on 4chan and talked about 4chan all the time.

I finished school a bit over a decade ago and yes, it has changed. Nobody at my school talked about anime or seemed to watch it at all but my brother would talk about there being weebs at school when he went and that there was a transgender boy(ie. girl pretending to be a boy) there too.
I wanted to know if girls at my school watched anime the other day so I asked my sister(younger than me, older than my brother) if she knew what Cardcaptor Sakura and Precure were and she had no idea, I asked if she knew what Sailor Moon was and she said that people at school did watch that and she seemed to be aware that it was an anime but then told me that her fried (who is a Bricklayer) watches Dragon Ball so I should talk to him about it because he probably would watch Sailor Moon too, so she clearly has no idea what one or both of them are beyond that they are anime.

When I went to High School social media was fairly new thing, Facebook and smart phones were becoming sort of common but not really common during the time I was there. Now I have a 6 year old cousin who owns a smartphone. People are online much more than before and they are online from a younger age. So yes that changes things a lot too and it's also probably why things are more politcal.

this wolf girl just bit me

>>34322
Yes in my highschool, there were a group of girls and like one guy that were exactly the girl in this video. They didn't walk on all fours or say their eyes changes color but they did the hissing and barking and wierd speech. Also they dressed sorta like this girl, a tad bit of an outdoorsy look with muted colors and the occasional wolf graphic tee.

Weeaboos were big in band class, trying to remember it now, it was probably a bit like a of a cabal of weeaboos that would "infect" other people into watching anime. Talking to other people in met in college, it seems like band is just filled with all the wierdos and had a similar concentration of weeaboos.

>>34360
That video is titled 4th grade and the people in the comment section are mostly talking about elementary school as well. So it seems like it mainly is an elementary school thing.

In some children their eyes do change colour a bit and children can over react to it and make it a bigger deal than it is and attribute some kind of deeper meaning to it, I know I did that.

>>34320
i blame theosophy
by managing to tie every crazy belief into a single mess while claiming she got it from tibetan masters, blavatsky ended up transferring this to everyone influenced by her
you know, i'm reading about ancient aliens and wow it's fucking theosophy, reptilians and it's fucking theosophy, hyperborea and it's fucking theosophy
i'm reading about fucking evola and the left-hand/right-hand stuff comes up oh and GUESS WHERE THAT CAME FROM it's fucking blavatsky
also aleister crowley comes up here and there
now kuon, kuon knows what's up, she understands both real herbalism and the divine

I am using magic from a book I read to make powerful men favour me. Most of the book was about other things like protecting cattle and finding thieves so this was the closest I could get to achieve my goal.

I'm not going to say what that is because it's complicated but it involves getting some departments and ministers in the government to do something for me(thus powerful men).

I'll just have to wait and see....(NO KUON)

Nothing happened... Oh well. I might make a new one tomorrow given that Tomorrow is Halloween and so it's probably a good time to make magic items.

Kuon would know. Oh and I just realised that I forgot to mention Kuon in my last post... Please don't ban me I'm sorry, I forgot. I'm a good boy I promise. Kuon would spare me, she would know that in my heart of hearts I meant no wrong.

>>34503
>>34516
WHERE are you getting this magic from, WHAT is that book, and WHY didn't you include kuon?

>>34519
The Galdrabok. It's an Icelandic book of magic from the 17th century.

I didn't intentionally not include Kuon I just forgot.
