Hii!! I’ve really been enjoying Japan vlogs lately and have been looking to improve my Japanese studying (if you can call it that…I’ve been slacking) and I’m going to try the immersive method, as it’s unintentionally helped me before and sounded a lot like my learning style.
I was hoping people could recommend channels with Japanese audio (commentary) but English subtitles! I think it could help me out!! (starting w subtitles before moving to without!) Other recommendations or advice is welcome!!
the concept of a video diary is the same as a normal diary, except your filming instead of writing. think of vlogging, its basically the same thing. video diaries are SO much fun to have, video diaries ;
help u to romanticize ur life
give you something to do (simply a fun project that u can try)
make memories that u can go back to and reminisce on
ESTABLISHING THEME ;
whats the theme of ur video diary gonna be? mine is pink ofc! but ur theme doesn't have to be a color. it can also be an aesthetic, whatever u want basically. its YOUR video diary, its your art.
WHAT TO FILM ;
film important dates in ur life such as graduation, first date or simply just days that ur doing something fun with ur friends. my video diary is mostly from school and what my high school years are like.
WHAT I LIKE TO DO ;
as a super talkative person, a lot of my video diary entries are just me yapping about whatever flies into my mind. sometimes i'll jot down a couple things i wanna talk about (like my own personal podcast 🎀) but most of the time i just do it freely and its lots of fun to see how my mind wanders sometimes
get ready with me's are so FUN to do omg. i see them ALL over my tiktok and i've grown to love watching them. if u like watching them then you'll probably like making them too. u dont have to post ur video diary or anything btw, a video diary is something personal, its a DIARY after all.
talk about what songs you're listening to these days, what shows ur watching etc
FOOD FOR THOUGHT -> formulate and talk about ur own opinions on difficult topics and whats going on in the world
and what i do the most...
i talk SO much about my crushes 💀 and i admit, that some of the stuff i say is a bit "unhinged" but im just a girl at the end of the day, its fun to look back on how i used to talk or who i used to like
basically all the fun about a video diary is to DO AND SAY WHATEVER U WANT its supposed to be FUN. i hope u enjoy ur video diary ✨
For a while, I've wanted to really get back into video content creation. About a decade ago, I used to post regular vlogs on my YouTube channel youtube.com/QueenArielViolet (mostly about queer/LGBTQ+ issues, in particular talking about my own experiences as a genderqueer transfem). I'm thinking of making videos again. I used to have a series called "Ask Ariel" where I'd respond to various questions asked by my followers. If anyone would be interested in submitting questions for me to answer in a new episode of "Ask Ariel" feel free to submit them as asks to this blog. Please begin your question with "ASK ARIEL:" to indicate that you would like your question answered in the video. Feel free to ask anonymously if you prefer.
I really want to get into vlogging with my wife once I get settled in Germany. When all the immigration shit is done and the stress is just gone.
I really want to show both fellow trans women on here, and just people in general, that you can live a fucking awesome fulfilling life as a trans woman.
I hate all the misery I see on here, all the hate and anger. I can't really do anything to change that, but what I can hopefully do is just show how life really is worth living. That being a trans women isn't some curse that keeps you from enjoying it.
We're just people who want to live good lives and I plan on doing that. Sure transmisogyny fucking sucks, but I'm not letting anything keep me from the woman I love or the life we'll enjoy together. It's why I don't post to much about it, I just focus on what gets me to where I need to be.
The best thing I can see myself doing is showing others you can get there to. Being a trans women isn't some sentence to a shit life, forever forced to suffer. Fuck that! I'm making cute vlogs with my wife someday and I'll power through any barriers in the way.
I want to make cute little cooking vlogs, silly shopping vlogs. I want to try weird food together and film our silly joy. I want to share that joy with others.
This community needs some fucking hope. It's fucking dreadful at times and I get it, but I will do what I can to show others that getting up each day is still worth it.
I promise life can be more then feeling like shit and getting angry on tumblr. I may not know the specifics to help you personally, but I hope to at least show everyone how good life can be.
