2024-06-18 01:36:37 +0000 UTCdefinitely use your best judgment if they don't seem like they want to talk about it, but it's always good to let someone know you're happy to be an ear!!

2024-06-17 18:59:34 +0000 UTCThank you Anna! Fear is the most important barrier to remove. That is the fear of approaching someone and ask direct questions, and the fear of answering them or seeking out someone to tell them about what's going on in your mind. Thank you for pointing this out to a greater audience than most appeals will ever get.

2024-06-17 17:35:29 +0000 UTCHi there Anna! ๐ Today's the 5th anniversary of Amphibia! ๐ธ Can't you believe it's been half a decade since this amazing cartoon premiered? I am SO glad you got to be a part of the wonderfully talented voice cast as Sasha Waybright. I told you before but your voice work as Sasha is how I discovered you altogether and came to appreciate you as a person as I learned more about you by checking out your other ventures such as YouTube, film and music. :) Your voice talent as Sasha was so beautifully and powerfully performed. I definitely see her in you yourself because Sasha's a hilarious, brave and intelligent badass butt-kicking warrior, just like you Anna. ๐ Heartstomper was my absolute jam and made me check out your own music on the Casualty album and the No Longer Yours EP and I fell in love with your voice. I am EXTREMELY thankful to have you in my life after discovering just who exactly the funny beautiful hard-working woman voicing the heartstomping friend in my all-time favorite cartoon was. You are my big sister, best pal, and idol all rolled into one. ๐ P.S. Remember those funny SpongeBob/cartoon edited videos I linked you a couple weeks back that had your voice/videos used for jokes? I forgot to tell you but these videos play a HUGE role in how I came to appreciate you more and check out your other material since one day I wanted to use one of your original songs to dub over the animation of Sasha singing and I chose Pretty Girls Don't Cry. Then Quicksand and I gradually listened to the rest of your music and got into your channel as well as I would collect the funny/vulgar quotes from your videos/songs to use for my edits. AND it just really hit home for me learning that your entire standup career stems from your own past traumas. That's EXACTLY the reason I myself make these silly videos to cope with my own personal troubles and test my potential as a future comedian. So you and I are both on the same page of using comedy as a coping mechanism for our darkest hours, even if our outlets of expressing it are different. โฅ To honor the occasion of my favorite cartoon's 5th anniversary today, me and a fellow editor have collaborated and made an edit of the Amphibia season 1 finale Reunion and it is a must-see! https://odysee.com/@ToonEditor01:b/amphibia-reunion-edited:e Your song "Like Beyonce" is used during the birthday celebration montage and several voice clips from your videos I used to make Sasha say vulgar things for comedy, but there's plenty of clean jokes in there too to prove it's an affectionate parody of my favorite cartoon. I hope you watch it sometime because it's ribaldly hilarious and emotionally touching at the same time. ๐ Anyway happy Monday Anna! Have a great rest of your week and thank you for taking your time to read this. And just thank you, you know, for everything you've done to help me and thousands of other unique fans with similar experiences to yours. โฅ

2024-06-17 16:18:07 +0000 UTCThank you very much for this. I was always under the impression that going as deep as you did is more likely to upset the person because they may feel like they're being probed/the more they talk about it, the more likely they are to do it. Great video that's greatly appreciated
