# the amazing digital circus (blogs) — RSS Amplifier Recent posts from the 3 feeds in the RSS Amplifier directory that cover the amazing digital circus. Page: Feed: --- ## [I’ve recently got into character design since it’s my dream to make a story. Even if it’s something small. I watch your videos often so I wanted to ask what makes a good character design? Usually I make a list of things like textiles of clothing, colors, style, culture, and shape language. But I feel like I’m lacking something personal. Like a theme for a character that would bring it together. Perhaps explaining the character would help but that seems too long of a note](https://ohnoitstbskyen.tumblr.com/post/825446493554098176) _2026-08-20 · oh no, it's TBSkyen_ If I had the answer to this question, I would probably be quite rich. The real answer is, unfortunately, that it depends . Character design is utterly contextual. It is contextual to culture, it is contextual to medium, it is contextual to genre, it is contextual to the person making it and the audience receiving it. Animation has different design needs than live action and video games, literature… ## [Here is the proof that peer pressure works people. After watching through your WHA videos and the constant reminders throughout the episode to go read WHA I have just picked up volumes 1-8. A little ouch to my bank account, but I’m excited to look at the beautiful artwork!](https://ohnoitstbskyen.tumblr.com/post/825444977046863872) _2026-08-20 · oh no, it's TBSkyen_ Read them slowly! It is SO tempting to binge and see what happens next, but I promise you there is so much joy in taking this story slowly and taking all the artwork in bit by bit! I wish you reading joy! ## [Are you a fan of Final Fantasy Tactics?](https://ohnoitstbskyen.tumblr.com/post/825304377877299200) _2026-08-18 · oh no, it's TBSkyen_ lil' bit ## [Hi i wanted to ask how you do the text bits in your soulsborne gameplay? Like the little notes and subtitles for emphasis that follows the character, idk how to explain what i mean better sorry. Ive been wanting to get into editing and i really enjoy the way you do it :)](https://ohnoitstbskyen.tumblr.com/post/825270178441019392) _2026-08-18 · oh no, it's TBSkyen_ I do them very inefficiently, basically. I made some word balloons in Photoshop, I put them into Premiere Pro and put text on them, nest them together, and then manually track them to my character. Basically, I go frame by frame and move the text box so it lines up with where the character is. It takes absolutely forever and there are much, much more efficient ways to do it if you use like After… ## [Starting tomorrow, I’m planning on watching TADC as a whole and I was wondering if you happen to have any post-finale essay video recommendations—whether it be from your channel or anyone else.](https://ohnoitstbskyen.tumblr.com/post/825114983766605824) _2026-08-16 · oh no, it's TBSkyen_ Oi, I’ve actually got a playlist of essays and shorts I’ve done for the show on my channel! That aside, no other essays are specifically leaping to mind, but I HIGHLY recommend watching @ohnoitstbskyen ’s reaction/commentary videos on the show. Guy has shorts going over the character designs, and (admittedly very lengthy and rambly) commentaries on every episode - easily some of the most… ## [Hi TBSkyen, I really like your analysis videos, but I recall you saying it’s hard to do certain kinds of content that doesn’t gel with the algorithm and get a ton of views and whatnot to remain financially viable. Hypothetically if someone wanted to pay you to cover a particular Indie Game\*, or several Indie Games at once as like a rapid fire episode how MUCH money would they have to throw at you? Or is that totally nonviable at all because you already have ALL the irons in the fire and changing horses midrace from what you have planned or are working on currently would result in the wailing and the lamentations, and the gnashing of the teeth? (Or just cause you don’t wanna, I’m not the boss of you) \*(Songs of Conquest, Songs of Silence, South Of Midnight, Wolfstride, Banner Saga, Psychonauts, This Way Madness Lies, Cassette Beasts, Inscryption, Look Outside, etc…)](https://ohnoitstbskyen.tumblr.com/post/824754620198977536) _2026-08-12 · oh no, it's TBSkyen_ You would have to pay me a lot more than I would be comfortable asking for. That's really the short answer there. I work for well, WELL below minimum wage most of the time, when comparing the amount of hours I spend making a video to the money it actually earns me, and the reason I do that is because it's topics and subjects I personally care about and want to explore. Patreon makes up most of the… ## [Hello Mr. Skyen I know Denmark is lovely, but if they outlawed 4 hour reaction videos and you had to move somewhere else, where would you move and why?](https://ohnoitstbskyen.tumblr.com/post/824753669955272704) _2026-08-12 · oh no, it's TBSkyen_ Norway, probably. Mostly because I can read the language, mostly understand it when spoken, and they have a solid social safety net and healthcare system. Not the most poetic reasons, I know, but I'm a practical man. ## [can you cease posting Ralsei Jax and Pink art on bsky for a bit, Skyen? im already too disfunctionally mentally ill, just let me recover. i just wanna do different things than have spiralling thoughts about this whole thing all day. just let me find peace. i don’t want boobs.](https://ohnoitstbskyen.tumblr.com/post/824738701504626688) _2026-08-12 · oh no, it's TBSkyen_ I'm not a mental health expert, but I don't think me not reposting Ralsei, Pink and Jax art will do anything to make those thoughts stop spiraling, unfortunately. I'm sorry. I think possibly the peace you want from those thoughts might involve trying some new hormones, pronouns and/or fashion ideas. If it helps at all, I can tell you that everyone I know who's described having similar thought… ## [Not really an ask just want to inform you that you have successfully infected me with the analysis parasite. I’m playing Dark souls 3 again and internally analysing the bosses, in a similar way to your boss designs videos.

I struggle a lot with the scheduling of those things around all of the Everything I am otherwise doing. It's not something I would make Content™ out of though—first of all because in my experience it's just not something there's a lot of demand for from… ## [Hey, just wonderin is 2xko just something not of interest or is there any other reason ur not covering it. Im fine with, especially with recent years where ur not as league-focused as u used to be. Designs and animation are pretty interesting imo](https://ohnoitstbskyen.tumblr.com/post/824286716138569728) _2026-08-07 · oh no, it's TBSkyen_ 2XKO is sort of passively on my list as Something I Should Get To Eventually, but I am in general just quite out of love with the League of Legends world at the moment so it's not something I feel super motivated to prioritize. Maybe some shorts about the character design and skins in the game, but almost certainly not proper videos. ## [12 years on and still the best articulation ever made of how one...](https://ohnoitstbskyen.tumblr.com/post/824248343536566272) _2026-08-07 · oh no, it's TBSkyen_ 12 years on and still the best articulation ever made of how one should respond to useless critiques ## [i am going to need six seasons and a movie of this](https://ohnoitstbskyen.tumblr.com/post/824247194159923200) _2026-08-07 · oh no, it's TBSkyen_ parawyrm : parawyrm : parawyrm : parawyrm : More from that one post i am going to need six seasons and a movie of this ## [do you or might you ever post clips of your game playthrough streams, in a similar vein to the clips of your reaction streams on 3Bskyen?](https://ohnoitstbskyen.tumblr.com/post/824243870713921536) _2026-08-06 · oh no, it's TBSkyen_ Probably not, no. It would take the investment of a lot of working hours, and there just wouldn't really be a return on it, ultimately, at least not enough to justify the investment. It's one of those annoyingly business-brained decisions, unfortunately, but I'm already behind enough on all my other commitments, I really can't add clipping my let's plays to the pile of stuff I have to do :/ ## [A belly can be a “slut waist” too.
