wanted to share my favorite tiktok
this has a very Vine energy and I like it
[Video ID:
There is a poster on a store wall that says ‘Halloween is here,’ but there is a line break separating ‘Halloween’ to ‘Hallo’ and ‘Ween.’
Man behind camera: Hallo! Ween is here!
The camera pans to another man who strums a small string instrument.
Other man: I am Ween
End ID]
What’s the description leaves out is that “Hallo! Ween is here!” Is said in a very silly, perky German accent.
I was drunk one night and I downloaded TikTok
I uploaded this video
And then I immediately deleted the app
im honestly abt to cry it feels likr this tiktok was ripped out of my personal nightmares

Tbhhhhhhhhhhhh
Hungarian musician Boggie sits still and sings for her latest music video… So what makes it interesting?
As she performs, her video editor retouches her skin, hair, facial features, and lighting during the song so that by the end everything looks “right”…
(This is actually really cool: Source)
No seriously you need to watch this.
It’s worth the watch to see what a massive difference lighting, make up, hairstyling and image editing can do to a person. Shows anyone with access to all these things can look pretty damn great too, not just celebs.
I made a tiktok so I can stay hip with the young folk also fucking kill me
if you ever have a video of yours go viral for the love of god don’t license it to any media licensing company like Viralhog or Junkin media or w/e. They just strip you of your rights of the video and post it without credit and you only get paid if you make a certain threshold off the content, plus they take at least a 40% cut
Is this personal experience, secondhand experience, or just One Of Those Things You Know
I’ve had offers to licence before and have turned them down. I’ve seen other people lose thousands by licensing, plus negotiating contracts to try to get a bigger cut can get you completely kicked from your own platform if you have a partnership. Doing Things Media recently just completely nuked All Gas No Brakes bc the host tried to renegotiate his contract and DTM cut him off and took his channel

Sia - Elastic Heart
It is sad to see such a backlash to Sia’s beautiful music video, “Elastic Heart.” People are calling it “pedophilia” and saying it is disturbing seeing a man and a child dance together, seemingly naked, in a “sexual” manner. I think the saddest part about these allegations is how conditioned many people’s brains have become to hypersexualized music videos. When other artists perform some sort of fellatio on inanimate objects, no one is outraged because we are so overexposed to sex, but when raw human emotions and interactions come out, it obviously has to do with sex. Many people can’t see any form of body contact, whether it is modern dance or symbolism for a father embracing their child, as anything other than sexual. When I watched this video I saw these animalistic features in two people trapped in a literal and figurative cage. The girl could escape, but the man could not. After I looked up the meaning behind the video, I saw that Sia’s father had dissociative identity disorder, formerly known as multiple personality disorder, and it was something both she and he struggled with emotionally and seemingly physically. Also, Sia said herself the two dancers represent two sides of herself at war. To dismiss someones painful memories as being lecherous because of something so simple and natural as the human touch is ludicrous. Modern dance has the power to tell very emotional stories, especially so when there are two dancers present. Not all music videos are meant to be sexual. Especially this one.
[Video ID: a TikTok of three young white men doing choreographed and synchronized dances with rolling chairs to the song "It's All Coming Back To Me Now" by Celine Dion. The video opens with one man closing his eyes as a chair wheel seems to stroke his cheek. Another man leans in close to kiss his own chair. The third man spins around gazing soulfully into the camera, which turns around and reveals that he is gazing at his own wheeled chair. Then the three men hold hands while each spinning and gliding on their chairs in choreographed moves. /End ID]
