Recently, I’ve been re-watching and re-reading snippets of Reborn! And 1) god I will forever love this series;;; are there frustrating things to it? For Sure but god I think now that I’m older I definitely have another perspective to the horror that encompasses the ten year later arc and—
I will save that for another journal, but god, Tsuna u r my wife? Yes make no mistake but 2) in this nostalgia, I’ve gone and tried to find some old amvs that I remember watching and about 80% percent of them seem to no longer exist/have been removed, or have restricted access/were privatized
WHICH IS HELL…. It’s like the goats I swear I saw when driving to my sister’s place the other day… I’ve never been able to see them again but I fucking KNOW lala KNOWS the goats were there… same with these amvs…. I Know they Exist
Luckily, turns out that some of the ones I had been thinking of, I actually saved on my usb! Thank u past me… the realest one… of course, that brings me to my biggest concern
Where to save these back-ups?
Cause initially, I thought, “guwell fuck, if the services that I use to track my media get deleted one day or get copyright happy a la youtube, maybe it’ll just be smarter to save those lists/items on my laptop” but sadly that is naive thought, a lesson I learned the hard way when I went into my photos, thinking that I was gonna find the fanart that I had saved for my own personal viewing
Only to discover that I had apparently deleted it when trying to clean up my files orz
Like sure, there’s google photos and the like (though I’m trying to personally degooglfy my life as much as possible) but it’s def something I wanna search for, esp in the case of personal files like my fanfics
On that note, I am curious about the current ecosystem of amvs, like I think I remember them being called more along the lines of fancams now? Unless that was more just when it’s ur fave chara, but like, I remember initially, if an amv on youtube had a copyright strike against it, the audio would just become muted—some cases it would become a privatized video, but the later seems to be the norm now, and most of the youtube I’ve seen now tends to be more along the lines of… really eye piercing clickbaity trends or “official” channels (fuck u vevo I miss the days lyric videos with colored font dominated the scene)
Maybe they still are out there and I’m just not searching as pro actively as I did when I was younger, or maybe the community of video editors has transferred to other platforms (though I plan to never use it, I know tiktok tends to be p popular with short form edits?)
