Alternate Thumbnails for Goth Girl/ Spider-Gwen
🕑 Added 2024-10-28 05:00:06 +0000 UTCIn this Goth Girl video, she's helping you to get ready for a party for The Lovely Little Witches! She herself makes extremely clear that she doesn't want to go, and for good reason. There will be people there! So she calls on the Conduit to be her date (mostly to deflect social interactions with The Witches).
This isn't something I've really talked about, but I always imagined Goth Girl as kind of a homebody. Unlike her sister who's out in the field busting ghosts and demons, Goth Girl tends to prefer her room, a good book, and practicing witchcraft in her spare time. So the idea of having to go to a party, especially with her co-workers is extremely anxiety inducing for her!
I also revealed in this video that the Helsing family bought the coffee shop that her and the Conduit like hanging out in! It's a running joke that she comes from a rich family, which would make a lot of sense considering her lineage! But, to be honest, this was really just an excuse to use that coffee shop background more lol. I really like it! Any chance I get to use it, I take!
I saw a couple comments where viewers speculated the next video would cover the party itself, but I never planned on doing a video on that. There were a couple of reasons for this, but the biggest one was that the point of this video was to focus on the connection between Goth Girl and The Conduit. Conduit relies on Goth Girl for protection and advice for fighting monsters, and Goth Girl relies on Conduit for emotional support.
It's a two-way street for them, and their relationship is the beating heart of The Vampire Saga. Generally, videos are released in the order that they canonically occur, but I've really wanted to do a video depicting when Goth Girl and the Conduit first met. I'll probably get around it it soonish...
Across The Spider-verse is one of my all-time favorite Spider-Man and superhero movies. It's genuinely nuts how much detail is stuffed into every frame, and it's a celebration of everything we love about the the wall-crawler. This video depicted a scene where Gwen visits Miles after they hadn't been in contact for a while due to, well, being in different dimensions.
I thought it was really obvious that Miles was supposed to be the POV, but I still saw some commenters refer to the Spider-Man depicted as Peter. Maybe they didn't see the movie! Hard to say!
When this scene occurs in the movie, there's a tension due to Miles both being excited to see Gwen, but also annoyed that she never tried to get in contact with him after the events of the first movie. I worked this into my performance by having Gwen address that the POV is peeved, and she slowly breaks both the ice and the tension as the video goes on.
My personal favorite part of this video is the ending when she's listening to songs and humming some of the soundtrack from the Spider-verse movies. When the soundtrack first came out, I had it on loop and listened everyday for a solid month! Would do it again too!
Anyway, I'm currently preparing and filming this week's videos, so look forward to that!

Will probably happen in the next couple of weeks!

The first meeting between the Goth Girl & the Conduit? That is going to be entertaining and awkward. I look forward to when you tell that tale.

Glad that you're branching out and experimenting with your videos. Can't wait for the holidays!

What took me so long to switch is that I don’t personally listen to soft-spoken myself, but once I tried it I realized it can sound really good! And as for the rest of the year, expect some holiday vids to show up as we get closer to thanksgiving and Christmas!

2 with all my love

Can't wait to find out how they both met. I'm really enjoying the vampire story and how it fits in with all the other side stories that go with it. Absolutely love the soft spoken stuff, its more relaxing than the whispering in my opinion. Can't wait to see what else you've got planned for this year.

You release these just as my lunch break starts, so I always catch them immediately lol. Yeah, and I'm kind of surprised that it hasn't been jarring at all even with characters that previously used whispering

Ah heck I actually meant to schedule this post for tomorrow lol! Oh well. Switching to the soft-spoken hybrid style has been a big and welcome change from the creative side. There’s a lot more I can do when expressing emotion and to be perfectly honest I think the overall sound is a lot more refined than it used to be. But that’s always a work in progress!

Really looking forward to that video of when they first met. The Vampire saga basically has as much story and technical complexity as many TV shows right now. Iirc these were also the first two soft-spoken vids. It's been so satisfying to watch you grow in confidence as an artist this year, and we'll one day find it pretty crazy that we went months with only whispering!
