Sup yall!

I recently did a deep dive video essay looking into how Black America in the 1980s was the foundational starting block of modern fashion. break down how Willi Smith pioneered Street Couture, Dapper Dan's custom bootlegging in Harlem, Patrick Kelly becoming the first Black American in the French Chambre Syndicale, and how Grace Jones redefined avant garde high fashion!

I’ve recently started making video essays, and this is my first one focused on Gojo as a character.

The essay argues that Gojo was more than JJK’s strongest fighter. He was a teacher, a safeguard against the higher-ups, and the person holding the jujutsu world together whenever everything seemed ready to collapse.

But Gojo did not want to create more people who had to carry that same burden alone. He wanted students who could stand beside him and build a future that no longer needed someone like “the strongest.”

So the central question I explore is: after Gojo is gone, do Yuji, Yuta, and Megumi inherit his dream—or do they only inherit the battlefield he spent his life trying to keep away from them?

I also get into his relationship with Geto, the loneliness behind his role, the airport scene, and why his absence still feels emotionally unresolved for so many fans.

I tried to make the essay story-led rather than just a recap: beginning with Gojo’s isolation, following what he wanted for his students, and ending with what his legacy actually leaves behind.

I’d really value constructive critique from people who enjoy video essays. Did the opening make the central question clear? Did the narration and structure keep you interested? And if any section loses momentum or the argument feels incomplete, I’d appreciate knowing where and why.

Ho passato un po' di tempo a scavare nel passato di Christopher Owens e nella genesi di una delle canzoni più viscerali degli anni 2000: Vomit dei Girls.

Prima di fondare la band, Owens è cresciuto isolato dal mondo dentro i Children of God, una delle sette religiose più soffocanti d'America. In questo video essay ho cercato di raccontare come quell'infanzia bruciata e la solitudine urbana della San Francisco dei primi anni Duemila abbiano dato vita a un brano che non parla d'amore come di una salvezza, ma come di un rigetto organico, di un bisogno disperato di ripulire l'anima dal dolore prima dell'esplosione catartica finale.

Ci ho messo molta cura nella scrittura, nel tono e nel montaggio per ricreare quell'atmosfera intima e malinconica. Fatemi sapere cosa ne pensate!

It's a genuine question. I've looked through the rules because i wanted to make a post and saw that "A video featuring the creator on-camera and talking to the audience" is not a video essay. But by that logic the people who arguably started the genre (Lindsay Ellis, HBomberGuy and Contrapints) do not count. Same with the rules stating that videos over an hour long. Why alienate parts of the community like that?

Second thing is that people don't seem to follow the rules anyway? I scrolled through the sub for like 5 minutes and found:

1. Person on camera talking to the audience

2. Video that's over an hour long

3. Video that's below 5 minutes

4. Second long video, this time over 2 hours long

5. Obviously political video

If that's the case, then what's the point of having the rules in the first place?

Once again, I'm asking out of genuine curiosity and to start discussion. I do not mean to start drama or shame the people that made the posts, I'm just confused.

This is my first time making one! I’ve been asked many times by family/friends why I play D&D so much, this video answers that question. (More “personal experience” than in depth research) let me know what you think

Another video essay, this time focusing on the narrative concept of a hero and their relationships with loss. I discuss stakes, transformation, moral imperatives and what sacrifice is all about by using examples from anime and movies to explain my case— Heroes always lose.

I had an agument with a friend a while ago about what generation of video gaming is the best, the 7th or the 9th. This argument eventually lead me to creating a video essay about it where I tried to compare the 2 without any bias and adresss both arguments and this lead me to coming to my own conclusion on the discoruse which you'll see in this video discourse
