I used to have links here directing you to places where you can find more of my content, but really there's so little of it that I figured it's not worth advertising until there's something to see. So the links are gone for now, sorry.

    Don't tell me this is unnecessary. I know you can keep that promise, because I know you won't tell me anything at all. I'm used to the silence at this point.

    For today's entry, I have a little story about my experience with creating for YouTube, and how my interests line up with that, and how maybe I'd like to be a little well-known on that platform, and how I only knew how to make trash when I was eleven, and how times have changed... and so there. Here is what you so obviously need to know.

    First off is that I tend to be sarcastic to the point where I most often end up making fun of myself. So I am being very self-aware when I implied that nobody is going to say anything via comment on this journal, because nobody needs to, and because nobody cares. But don't let that get in the way of you reading this, I guess. Contribute to the numbers of glory, the views, that are the fuel of my existence, and all that. Also I love commas and ellipses.

So now that you know... I'll just get right into it.

    I was introduced to YouTube the same way I was introduced to most of what the youthful internet had to offer, that is, through my brother, who you may know as Jackasplat. I must have thought that he knew everything about this magic computer business, so I just ate up anything he laid down. This meant that YouTube was the largest thing on our minds. It was absolutely fascinating, humble, digestible, and overarchingly creative. It wasn't as corrupted by large-scale corporations and businesses back then, as I suppose most of you pre-millennials must already know, so it was much more of an experience. And it was also inspiring, which quickly led to my brother trying out his hand in video production using the affluent Windows Movie Maker, back when it kind of almost didn't suck, completely. He knew how to use it, whereas I didn't, but that didn't stop me then. I had interests in Pivot videos, Roblox, reversed television clips, and just completely obscure video games, um, like most eleven-year-olds. And all of my videos were trash.
BUT!
That didn't stop 20 particularly blind individuals from eventually subscribing to me. And perhaps that would have pushed me to keep creating and trying new things and getting better at what I enjoyed doing, so that one day I'd be slightly better off than when I started, but perhaps I had better things to do. And so, after about a year of making garbage videos, I stopped. It seemed like I was done for good.

    But there has always been an impatient, number-obsessed, inattentive artist in me, you could say, if you would like something to say. I decided I might want to return to creating things for YouTube about four years later, then spent a few months in decision limbo, and then finally decided that I should scrap my old channel and start a completely new one. I called it "TheDitaeric", which means absolutely nothing, unless you think that 'ditaeric' is a word, which would only be true if you were a half-empty moronic tackwad talking about himself on the internet at one in the morning. So I had set to making a few still-image "music videos" for some of my Rytmik Retrobits creations, and I had Windows 10's Movie Maker at my side to crush my dreams. I mean, it's okay, but it's entirely incomprehensive. I was simply born for something more.

    It was around this time that I discovered HitFilm Express, which was free, which was perfect, because I was ready to get into something better. I was all up for making some YTPs, some better music videos, some weird stuff, and even a channel introduction video. Some of those ideas bloomed pretty well into fruition, but then I realized that I'm not very good at video-making, so my ambition died down a tad. But that didn't stop my mind from craving a different username.

    I had changed the name of my new channel only once. The new name was Fallacius, which is the name I've given the most attention to. I uploaded nothing new under this new tag, and once again my interest in YouTube went into the trash. So that's really boring.

    But it doesn't get interesting. I suddenly and recently thought to myself that maybe I should just scrap this new idea and go back to my old, broken channel. That would give me some different benefits, such as a larger subscriber pool, as well as a more simple future and a decent video base to build off of. So, since I had nothing better to do yesterday, I played on a Maplestory private server for seven hours, skipped two meals, and went with my new new idea. And I saw, not that it was news to me, that the old channel was labeled with my real name. And so I went "NOPE! :)" and changed it to Kensuo, which also should mean nothing, unless you look it up on Google and get some bullcrap result about how it means "you love money" or "colorful and fascinating you are an amazing person with a magnetic personality!" Don't ask me.

    I'll conclude by saying it didn't really matter what choice I went with in the end, because I could easily use two channels if I had enough people to cater to categorically, but I think that this will do just fine for now. I can hide the really terrible videos until I get a little higher up the ladder, at which point I'll just.. un-hide them, after which people can take a look at my super incredible humble AND inspiring amazing past and how far I've come since the dark days of elementary school.

TL;DR Fallacius is dead for now, I'm using my very old YouTube account-with-a-new-name Kensuo as my main channel. I'm still going to plan on making the same things as I planned on making before. There are benefits in choosing the deep-rooted channel over the new one, so I'm choosing it. Goodbye, and have a nice day :D

The Situation

4 min read
Hello, deviantART. This very out-of-date journal is for whatever small band of recurring viewers I may have, to inform you of what I'll be uploading for the next...uhh...forever.

On November 9th of 2015, I announced I was entering into a hiatus. That is mostly true. The only reason I set that up was to put at ease any mind that might be anxious for me to upload something (not that that would really happen, but it's a fair move on an uploader's part). It also gave me a reasonable excuse to stay away from dA as long as it would take me to get back on my feet at school.

So this journal really is just an explanation of my hiatus. I'll be leaving this phase soon, but for now I just have a few pieces to upload that I managed to create in a couple of minutes. I also want to make it clear what I will actually be creating hopefully for the entirety of the rest of my existence on dA. Simply stated, I'll be making short stories, chapter-progressive novels, nameless pony drawings (for the purpose of studying, mostly), short animations, backgrounds/wallpapers, and actually, I'll be heading over to YouTube and Soundcloud before too long to upload music there, since dA sucks in the music field. And if I get really crazy, I'll be making concept art for some of the bigger novels I have planned to write. Sadly, since I hope to become an author someday, I most likely won't upload the real, textual initial drafts for those books to this site, lest I make buying the novel (book sales, of course, being my primary source of income at that point...hooray for capitalism) almost completely pointless. That is why I hope to improve through average stories or short progressing novels.

In short, for now, you'll only be seeing works I managed to create within just a few minutes, since homework and other interests are keeping me from submitting much to dA. And in other words, I plan to upload much more in the future. I just hope it all works out, and bear with me, because my writing needs a lot of work. That being said, if you wanted more drawings, I will certainly be getting visual art up here, but writing will be my main focus.

One final thought before I go. My YouTube channel goes by the name Fallacius, which is where I'll be uploading my music (as well as my animations, in time). I haven't made a Soundcloud profile yet, and there's nothing on the YouTube channel at all (again, I just don't have the time), but be sure to check 'em out when I start leaving the hiatus behind and start making some shipments.

--UPDATE--
My Christmas break from school will be a nice time to get some work done. I have two weeks off, in which I'll be making a Soundcloud profile, and hopefully even uploading to YouTube. The only thing I have for dA is a few chapters of a short story. This is exciting!
Merry Christmas!!!

And the name of the Soundcloud account is "Hand of Infinity". But what I planned to fill it with turns out to fit quite well in their definition of copyright infringement. I do have some things to upload still, so those will go up in about a week, though my initiation will take longer than I expected.

--ANOTHER UPDATE--
You may be aware that I upload wallpapers from time to time; things you can download and put onto your phone, laptop, desktop, TV, or just into your gallery to look at. It turns out, though, that I have only been making these wallpapers according to my personal phone screen resolution, so they are pretty much useless as wallpapers without stretching or cropping them to fit on other devices.
So this leads up to the new process I'll be using to make most of the wallpapers to come. I will use a much larger resolution to make them, after which you can download and crop as you will, unless you want me to modify it for your specific screen size. And that I can do, but only through a note.
If you see a wallpaper you like, but cropping it for your own use doesn't satisfy you, sent me a note with your screen resolution and I'll see what I can do.
Remember I'm new to this, but feel free to challenge me, because I don't do that enough for myself, honestly.

Have a great year!

You don't need an explanation for something for what I've written.

Because it is so much more effective if you can take your own meaning out of it that is specific to you.

I can't make you care about my life, and I would never want that ability.

So please, if you like my poems, though I've mostly stopped writing poetry,

Please take them however you want. The beauty in writing is this special kind of vagueness.

And you will never be able to appreciate the true meaning of a written work if you can't understand what it is supposed to mean to you.

And that's because I only ever write something either for practice or to send out a message. I may have failed at that a few times, but I mostly try to stick to it.

So I'm replacing this journal with what I've written here.

Because poetry is not systematic like a Google search or a dictionary.

And at the same time, I can't say that my poems are expertly written and are perfectly artistic and wonderful,

But I'd rather let them die than to see the meaning taken out of them.

Because that would be their death.

...

But I still don't know why I wrote with all these spaces.

Have a nice day!
