or alternatively titled: I am so tired, oh my god!
So first things first let me give you a little run down on my media niche! mine is Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney. this is video game and although its old (coming out in 2003) it still seems to be staple in Japanese culture and even has another game coming out soon, as well as releasing one this year! What drugs are they taking to be making all of these and can I have some, because I have another essay due!
So I think it would be remiss to not at least mention this wasn’t where my project was meant to go originally. Here I am again mentioning things I did not do to reach a word count I will not reach! So my first idea was to make a music video clip to the song ‘These Hands’ by Teeks. It absolutely slaps! I wanted it to kind be like a real life animatic (Do I have to explain them again, animated, song, characters!) I thought using a character like Shelly de Killer was a smart idea because although he’s a well known character, he’s not super popular. or at least isn’t popular the way some characters are. As far as I can tell there is only one case with Wocky Kitaki and everyone on instagram calls him their bastard son. The less popular a character is in this sense then the less likely it is that someone looks at what you made, decides it doesn’t vibe with them and they don’t support what you’ve done or even straight up just send you hate! The other characters would be Stephanie Hardin an OC. (As a child of a politician let me tell you the ship isn’t that unreal. politicians are also straight up crazy!)
That did not happen! Which is ok, not to overshare on the internet but you know you’re gonna have problems when you’re scouted for a therapy documentary! instead I changed my scope did something a lot more low-key and turned my eyes to fanfic, I was always threatening to do it and I did it, I finally failed enough to have to go with my back-up! Bet you’d thought it would be gay! haha same people/characters just different experiences of them! So I used Shelly de Killer and Stephanie Hardin but not a video instead fanfic we get a deeper look into what bought them together.
Now I did put a bit of effort into my cover! It’s not hugely ethnographic but I’m going to explain it anyway!
Simple design! using Shelly De Killers calling card!
look at the fancy cursive, you know its gonna be sophisticated, this isnt your Ikea sex scene!
Yes this is fanfic and it is by me, thank you for noticing!
and hey a lyric from the song because we know where we came from!
So I started to try to get readers, get some ethnographic comments (just a few, as a treat) so I started promoting it on ALL my social media… almost like this is my entire persona and personality.
This video was shared to my Facebook, Instagram, twitter, and obviously my tiktok!
as you can see I got 18 likes on the tiktok but also 156 views
On Instagram I got 110 plays and 10 likes.
On Twitter I got 21 views and no likes.
Facebook got me 54 views but only 2 likes and one was from my Mum!
Of course there gonna be some cross over with people seeing both videos but that would not amount to much as I try to keep my personas a little disconnected. I even posted it on the Ace Attorney Ladderposting Facebook group but a lot of people ship Maya and Phoenix in there and they then back it up with “it’s legal in Japan!” like ok but its also legal to have a donkey sleep in your bathtub but that would be weird and stupid so you don’t! anyway one guy said he’d read it cause it would somehow help his Phoenix x Iris fanfic, another nasty ship, oh my god, the toxicity (riff from Toxic by Brittany spears plays). I doubt know how sir, but pop off!
So, after all that cross posting. I got a whooping 30 extra views on the fanfic but like way too many likes and views on the videos. (JUST CLICK THE LINK, DON’T JUST LIKE MY POST, THE FUCK?!) seeing as that wasn’t working but for some reason making lil funny vids in my normal clothes gets me views that’s what I did!
Honestly the less effort I put in, the better! because I find this one much funnier but like that is not reflected in views or likes!
So, I guess what I learnt from all this is that people hate clicking on other links otherwise maybe more then one person would have commented on it! (they just talked about the writing so I don’t think it’s important to put here, also you told me not to share what other people had said directly) also I know them personally so it may have just been enbies supporting enbies!
I really feel like I honestly only got the hang and point of this project like two days before the due date.
So where is the next chapter? I hope you read this on Monday!
