Plot Twist Season 3 Poster

So, in case you didn't know, I'm going to be starting Season 3 of Plot Twist this Friday, November 7, unless something were to happen to make me have to upload it late. My week has been kind of crazy, so hopefully I'll be able to upload it on Friday, and I'll try my absolute hardest to, but.... Yeah!
I really don't want to get started on my homework yet, so I'm going to talk about some random stuff now! I kind of want to tell my best friend about my YouTube channel, but at the same time, I would be completely terrified to. Maybe I could just tell her about my series and pretend it's not mine, and say I just really like the story or something. I'm going to get a little off topic, but last year, a couple of the popular girls in my school were talking about (of all things) A DOLL SERIES! It was a barbie series, but still! I was like "Whaaaa???" and almost considered telling them about my channel, but decided against it, considering one, the series they were talking about seems to have a lot of... Adult content for a series starring Barbie dolls, so they probably would think I was weird for having a channel devoted to American Girl Dolls, and two, if they did end up finding my channel and liking it, I would have to majorly sensor some of my rants I have down in the description when I have a bad day, and sometimes ranting helps me clear my mind.
Anyways, about my friend. I feel like if she did know about my channel and thought it was cool, it would be a really neat thing, and since she's my best friend I kind of feel like I should tell her about having over 800 subscribers on YouTube. But I don't know if she would think it's cool or think I'm lame or even weirder than she already knows I am, because as my best friend, she kinda has to have figured out that I'm a little more than somewhat insane. But when I was asking her what I should be for Halloween about a month ago, and I mentioned being Annabelle, she said please no, because dolls creep her out, especially dolls like Annabelle. I mean, my dolls definitely aren't like Annabelle, but she might think that my videos are creepy (especially if she watched one of my stop motions I stopped making because they take too much work and they never really come out that good). But I mean, she's my best friend. Shouldn't she be supportive of me regardless of what I do in my free time? But at the same time, I don't want to risk losing my best friend.... Na, I'll just keep it to myself.

Plot Twist Names

Hello, dolls!
Today I have decided to tell you all a little about how I chose the names for a couple of the characters in my series. The most interesting ones I have are the male names; Michael and Miles. The female names are pretty irrelevant, and I could have just as easily given them any other names. But Michael and Miles actually have a legitimate story behind their names.
I chose the name Michael for Gwen's deceased father as a very minor hidden reference to the book Because of Mr. Terupt by Rob Buyea. SPOILER ALERT: Michael is the name of one the characters in that book, Jeffery's older brother who died of cancer (I think it was cancer. It's been a while since I've read the book. But it was definitely something like that). After Michael's death, Jeffery's home life falls apart, Jeffery now hates life and school, and he is traumatized by the death that he somehow feels responsible for. Sound vaguely familiar? Because of Mr. Terupt was a huge inspiration for Plot Twist.
The name Miles is a little less symbolic, but it still has a little bit of a story. I gave Miles his name for several reasons.
1) It started with M, and I wanted to kind of show that Miles might be Gwen's own Michael, since Michael and Jennifer were the perfect match, but that scares Gwen since she doesn't want to lose anyone else.
2) I like the name Miles. I don't know why, I just do.
3) Miles Finch from Elf. Need I say more?
4) Miles from The Candymakers by Wendy Mass. He's trying to forget a tragic accident he witnessed in that book, and since I was going to have some very sad scenes in Plot Twist, why not?
5) Miles from My Fair Godmother by Janette Rallison.
All of this adding up I feel meant that Miles was a great name for my character. Plus, naming him off of characters from books when he loves to read (and an author from one of my favorite movies of all time)?
So anyways, thank you for taking your time to read all of that, and have a nice day! :)

Anything but Ordinary is now Anything but Evil

After a long year of people commenting rude things about the title of my first series, Anything but Ordinary, I have finally decided to change it to Anything but Evil. I know I kind of did change it when I made the second season, by entitling it the title both seasons now bear, but I decided I might as well make both seasons Anything but Evil. Honestly, when I made the series, I did not do that much planning before hand. The names were very unoriginal, (about half of the characters had first OR last names taken from class mates), I didn't use a script, most of the adults have a terribly fake Russian sounding accent for some unknown reason, and I didn't even bother to make sure the title was not already taken. Consequently, the series was not very good, and the title was already taken by another person making doll videos, and it's also a book about a diver who suffers an accident that puts her in a coma.
It's still the same series, just a new title. I know the series is still not that great, but I really have improved for my new series, I promise. My character names were not taken from classmates, I use a script, I don't use any terrible accents, and I made sure no one else has the same title.
So anyways, have a nice day! :)
