hello to the Tubed You it's 1am on a saturday morning and i'm gonna talk about communications hopefully for the last time because in the past i didn't do a very good job of keeping my previous talks about it in a Conveniently Accessible All Compiled In One Place, and because of that some people heard what i had to say and some missed :( i don't want people to miss out so i hope this is a good place to put this! if you don't know what communications was, i'll try to nutshell explain it real quick: it was a song series i started back in early 2016 and cancelled in mid-2017. it's comprised of rotary dial, black&white, housewife radio and broadcast illusion (in that order), and while colorbars is *technically* related, it wasn't an official part of the series (tl;dr i was gonna use colorbars, didn't like the song though, so i made a new song that basically tells the same story). while small summaries of what each song specifically covered were in the original descriptions, a majority of the story was kept pretty much contained to my now-deleted tumblr account and pretty much only the people who paid attention to that blog knew the most about the story. i talked a lot about what i planned on doing, a majority of which didn't get put into a song before i cancelled the project. personally, i don't want to re-tell the story (both the stuff that was in video descriptions, stuff that was only on tumblr, and stuff i never talked about publicly). i know doing so would clear up any misunderstandings/contradicting info and give context to what i'm talking about, but i'd still rather not. a LOT of other people and i have had a lot of valid criticisms against communications, and while i know there's some nuance concerning liking something you acknowledge objectively bad/problematic, i personally don't wanna be the one to introduce more people to the series since i currently have....... over twice as many subscribers as i had when i cancelled it, i think? i can't remember how many i had back then but it was definitely under 100k. that's just my personal preference and i hope you can understand! so here's where i fucked up: my plans for communications started out as a three-song, really shallow story. i didn't have much of anything in mind for it other than a "this happens and then this happens" sorta story, but as more people showed deeper interest in the story and asked questions about it, i started fleshing things out more. it quickly turned into what i planned to be a 12-song series, broken into four separate stories called cases. now, what i did was make the mistake of not thinking at all before i did any of this. i improvised answers to questions without really thinking about how it connected to the story, i didn't give an ounce of thought into how each aspect of the story would reflect on each other, i didn't try to predict what sorts of meanings people could draw from the series (i know that anyone can come up with any interpretation of my stories they want and that's kinda out of my control, but to an extent i do want to make sure my stories couldn't *easily* be interpreted as something harmful or offensive), just like....... i mean it literally when i say communications was entirely improvised. and improvisation isn't inherently bad, don't get me wrong! but you really need to know what you're doing when you improvise, and unfortunately "knowing what i was doing" and "18 year-old me" were on COMPLETELY opposite ends of the globe we ended up with a story and characters that hardly made any sense, some characters' developments were flatter than some people think the earth is, and in more aspects than one were insensitive as hell towards even my own experiences. for context, i base a majority of my songs/stories/characters off my own personal experiences. they're not all self-insert levels of similarities, but if you really think about it you'll notice like 80% of my ocs have abandonment issues and are too emotional for their own good. for just one example out of many others. nancy was a character with abandonment issues, henry was a character who had been abused by his mother frances since childhood, and kennith was a character who faced abuse from his peers and emotional neglect from his parents. except 18 y/o me thought there wasn't gonna be any issues with having nancy kill someone because of her issues, having henry come out relatively un-traumatized, and not talk publicly nearly enough about how kennith's experiences impacted him in adulthood. while it's true that mentally ill people and abuse survivors can do bad things or be bad people, there's a difference between realistic portrayals and over-represented stigmas. mentally ill people aren't violent, and in reality are much more likely to face violence than commit it themselves, yet the "scary, dangerous mentally ill person" seems to be the majority of the representation we get. emotional abuse is often taken way less seriously than it should be due to there not being any physically visible scars. and lastly, if i say a character is something (especially something under-represented), i should actually show it! i've heard the argument "but fiction doesn't affect reality that much" over and over again, and i personally disagree? there's plenty of examples of fiction affecting reality - take for example what jaws did to sharks, or a bit closer to this topic, how movies like "psycho" and "split" affected the public's perception of people with dissociative identity disorder. even outside of fiction impacting society, it's just my own personal preference to avoid stigmatic portrayals of mental illness in my songs and stories and i hope that can be respected regardless of your opinion on this particular criticism. even though the characters in communications stemmed from my own experiences with mental illness, abuse, and neglect, that doesn't mean i could just do whatever the hell i wanted without giving it much thought. i'm still responsible for how i portray my experiences! i genuinely am sorry to anyone who was hurt by how these characters were handled, you guys deserved a lot better. since working on communications i've learned a lot about myself that's changed the way i view my experiences, and for the past couple years i've been heavily focusing on doing everything i can think of to avoid repeating communications. i had planned a remake of communications to improve all its flaws, but in the end i felt a total loss of enjoyment towards the series because i just wanna move on and do better (which is why i finally cancelled the series). as much as i wish i could turn communications into something that isn't so.......... Yikes, i don't see myself working on the story again and actually being happy while doing so. that's really the best way i can explain why i won't be revisiting the story. i hope i can show i've learned from the whole experience through my future story projects. this also brings up a side-topic specifically regarding communications' cancellation - i want to say that that decision was in no way anyone's fault but my own. at the time i had expressed feeling pressured when fans would ask "when is the next part coming out?" and "why haven't you uploaded a new part yet?". i can't remember exactly what i said, but i said something along the lines of implying that i might cancel the series if people continued pressuring me to finish it faster. though this wasn't meant as a threat and more of a "i don't perform well under pressure" statement, i totally understand why people would assume it was meant as a threat and why that would be really hurtful (especially considering people were asking those questions out of curiosity, not with the intent to pressure me to work faster). i'm really sorry for having said that, that wasn't ok and i should've handled expressing my concerns with more empathy. i wanna make sure it's clear that the final decision to cancel communications wasn't the public's fault at all - just my own loss of interest in the project. i think.............. that's about it. i'll come back and edit this post if i think of anything else to add. thank you for reading!! obligatory reminder to drink water and take ur meds if u have meds u need to take

Young Man was BULLIED at School, Now He Lives Inside of EVERYONE'S Televison set: What Happens Next Will Shock You | Dahr Mann

Kenith: I'm just getting started! GHOST: And I think I'll cancel the series here-

“Sir can you please stop singing in front of the TVs? sir please you’re scaring the customers”

“Are you enjoying yourselves so far?” No “Just making sure”

Misread the warning as "This video contains bright fucking imagery"

*Despite his criminal mind, this man is behaving very well. His reward is the canoe. This time, he may sit in the canoe for up to an hour.*

When you disconnect router accidentally: Oh dear, what a sad ending that was!

bro deadass just rickrolled the entire country

Watched Incredibles 2 and every time Screenslaver popped on screen I legit was like “wow Kennith’s really stepping up his game”

*Fukase:* So, scream and shout! Make a whole lotta noise! *Macne Nana:* Please shut up! You make too much noise!

what did the officer say to the guy who hijacked the news station '"We interrupt this broadcast programming to bring you to jail"

Oliver be like “Maybe you could tone it down a little more” But Kennith says “Turn up the volume I said I said”

*THIS GAY CACTUS*

Kennith hit puberty hard.

Such a good child. Take over the world.

Incredibles 2 spoiler but I don't give you the context

i was listening to this on a discord vc w a friend and rythm and i said in chat “i feel like im being stickbugged” and now i headcanon that everyone who was hypnotized by the broadcast literally only remembered that stickbug gif that got popular a while ago despite it being the wrong time period my dude stickbugged an entire nation and dipped.

I remember I had a playlist that was all the songs relating to communications but I didn’t know what it was called so I named it “Housewife Radio and the Boys” and I think about that sometimes

I saw a guy that looked like this Kennith at my school, seriously like the same face and hair. I was so tempted to ask him when he was gonna broadcast his colorbars again

my gay disaster son

So I played this song for my music appreciation class Girl: it sounds like his voice is autotuned Me, about to explain what vocaloid is despite no one asking: you're gonna flip your lid when you hear what I'm about to tell you

I’d make a joke about Incredibles 2, but it’s already been done. Twice.

He slicc He make people sicc But more importantly His hair t h i c c

It’s 2am and the only thing I can think about is *_”SOON WE’LL TELEVISE OUR P E E P O”_* Please help

I used to dislike this and now I’m wondering what the hell I was thinking because this is perfect

New year, my family is celebrating, dancing, singing and drinking... And here I am, alone in my room, listening to this song. I DON'T WANT MORE CHAMPAGNE IN MY HAIR AND NOW I FEEL SAFE

It's February 12, 2020, and as of right now, colorbars is called "Original Penis Music". Edit: February 26, now, and it's simply called "bar"

thAT IS A TABLETOP MICROPHONE AND YOU KNOW IT

oh holy shit i just realized that my perception of my own gender is basically me just wanting to look exactly like any GHOST character

my ears be like: “for you to see, for you to see, *tostito* “

Is it just me or Kennith’s eye creates an illusion when you move faraway from the screen? Like, when you’re nearby, he stares at you menacingly and soullessly, but when you’re distant, he looks like he tries to look cute and approchable with cute-looking eyes?

this song has a ton of personality

All i know about Kenneth is that I love him and he needs a hug

wow incredibles 2 was a great movie

The COLORBARS Incident really made you look adult in a physical measure, didn't it, Kennith?

2:28-2:34 when people talk about ghost changing the titles of their songs to things like megalovania but you were living in a cabin in rural Michigan where there wasn’t any internet so you missed all the hubbub

Regardless of the fact that it's part of a larger series that's been canceled, I still really like the character between this and color bars. And either way they are both fantastic songs. I'm just kind of bummed out that I won't be able to figure out like what the bigger picture of this series is. Mainly because of the fact that it's not complete yet. I would like to know, if you ever finish writing this, are you going to write it as like a book or something? I think that would be really cool cuz I want to know the story. But I digress, this was fucking amazing, keep that shit up.

Finally! Now I can tell you again about how much I love your songs! Again And again and AgainAgainAgainAgianAgainAgainAgainAgainAgianAgain

Wow incredibles 2 looks great

Ghost you're the ultimate skinny legend ugh

*can we just take a moment to talk about his legs that are smoother than any girl's legs?*

Me when ghost uploads anything: WE’RE SCREAMING AGAIN!!!!!!!! (out of excitement though lol)

Oliver: TURN IT DOWN Kennith: NO ITS PERFECLY FINE TURN IT UP Arc: *Straight up hits the TV* Nana: YALL SHUT UP God from honey I'm home: I'M TRYING TO EAT THIS BUG WTF IS GOING ON Kevin: *starts hitting TV too* Oliver: DUDE YOU BREAK MIRRORS NOT TV'S Oliver but from "it's dark": AYO THIS DIRT STRAIGHT BUSSIN Meanwhile, Miku and the moth chained to his hand having a conversation on what the hell ate their brains Miku: buzzzzzzzz z Moth: buzz? Miku: buzz. Francis: YALL BE QUIET I'M ON THE PHONE TO THE SPIDER anyway spider on the wall what were you saying Spider: I see you Francis: ....Oooook.... **hangs up** OK guys carry on And for the next 7 hours there was just vocaloid noises the end

"hey baby you a tv cuz i love watching you at 4 am" -Kenneth prohably

Let’s not lie here. Both versions of this song go hard.

everyone’s screaming about kennith while i’m over here glad that [Spoilers]/ Evelynn made a very very small appearance

The one only Gay Lord Kennith Simmons!!

Geez, Kenneth sure is talented to hold that exact same position the whole video

Finally i can scream how much i love this song!

we're screaming again (chorus: *AGIANAGNAIAGNAAGNIANIGAINAGAINAGAIN* ) p.s. ghost = best producer.

The ScreenSlaver interrupts this broadcast for a good af song 🌀🌀🌀

C.B(Color bars):"Who are you 🎶" B.I (broadcast illusion):"I am you 🎶" C.B:"I am me (?) 🎶" B.I.: "No sir you are you 🎶"

Great song to listen to while your parents are getting divorced 10 / 10 would listen to again

My brain at 0:17: *slowly* soon we’ll televise our c-o-l-o-r My brain at 0:28: pull them out and and and wash them out the memorieees My brain at 0:41: *intro for black and white*

my parrot loves this song 🥺 she will get sleepy and relaxed when I play it

Fukase begs to the audience Fukase pleads to the audience Fukase prays to the audience There is no audience

First time: oh hey this song is pretty good Second time: WERE SCREAMING AGAIN AGAINAGAINAGAINAGAINAGAIN edit: how the hell did this get over 50 likes

Kennith: “Turn up the volume I said I said” Oliver: "Maybe you could tone it down, a little more?" Nana: "SHUT UP YOU MAKE TOO MUCH NOISE!"

Teacher: leaves Class: were screaming again again again

200 years ago Kennith Simmons gave birth to a creature. A creature that eventually went on to make Vocaloid music. That creature was Ghost and Pals. And they created him once again. Finally compleating the cycle and realising the long docile demon into the world.

“In a telecast promoting vertigo” That scared my friends when I sang it thinking that i would do something to them XD

Reminder that this song, Colorbars, Insecta Apostate and Coup d'État were uploaded to Spotify WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF GHOST. They never uploaded the songs :^

THAT MOMENT WHEN YOU REALIZE EVELYNN JACOTT MADE KENNITH BROADCAST THIS THE SCREENSLAVER IN INCREDIBLES 2 WAS EVELYN DEAVOR!!!

"The death of a Nation. A toxic reaction." "The world's signing off." Sounds an awful lot like the results of Covid-19 to me.

When ppl said u were a rlly good at making these songs they werent wrong!

This man is making me question my sexuality

I just watched the incredibles 2 and now all these jokes finally make sense to me and I'm shaking screaming and crying

So I sent this to my friend. My friend: It's kinda creepy, I got really scared every time that girl showed up. Me: That girl..? Her: * Sends a picture of Kennith* This girl, every time she appeared on screen I got scared Me: This is a boy... Edit after 2 years: Ok apparently this is not a boy so uhh Me: ....girl? Here you go fixed it

Me before reading comments: She's pretty Me after reading comments: He's cute

Once I wanted to listen to this song but I forgot what it was called so I typed colorbars part two

would it be inappropriate to mention the incredibles 2 here

This song, the background, and the boy gives me vibes from the 70's, i don't know why.

Somehow, everytime i see the microphone wire, i keep thinking my tablet screen is cracked, or its a piece of my hair.........the art is too good. And the song somehow managed to mind control me and make me play this song on every device i have

I like this lad. Take over the world little man. You've earned it

3:28 is undoubtedly my favorite part.

I probably shouldn't be listening to these songs while extremely stressed and agitated while doing schoolwork online and barely managing to keep from screaming because it's hot in this room, people keep talking to me and my sister is throwing a fit about her school work in the other room but oh well.

I don’t know why, but I’ll write it. Song lyrics: [Oh dear, what a sad ending that was! HAHAHAH. No it wasn’t. You see, I’m just getting started.] Turn up the volume I said, I said It’s a beautiful day We’re voiding our heads In all respect I could see the end Of a beautiful day We’re screaming again Again Again Again Again We’re screaming again Again Again Again Again We’re screaming again And through the volume, I said We’ve seen enough And on the screen, as clear as can be It’s a colorful display We’re screaming again Again Again Again Again We’re screaming again Again Again Again Again We’re screaming again If it’s too hard to tell We’ll wake up in a singular reality The death of a nation A toxic reaction So scream and shout, make a whole lotta noise Don’t be afraid, let the night run out Well, after all, it’s a television show A telecast promoting vertigo [ … You’re wondering who I am, aren’t you? Yes, you’ve seen me before. However, I like surprises. I think I’ll wait a bit longer.] A moment in time to reconcile Came a little too late, and now it’s gone A moment in history Produced by the broken and thrown away And I’m already here For you to see, for you to see, to see you I’ve always been here For you to see, for you to see, to see you [That’s right. I’ve always been here. Right here. Comforting, isn’t it?] For you to see, for you to see, to see you For you to see, for you to see, to see you So scream and shout, make a whole lotta noise Don’t be afraid, let the night run out Well, after all, it’s a television show The audience is swaying to and fro So scream and shout, ‘cus the world’s signing off Don’t be afraid, no, you can’t get enough Well, after all, it’s a television show These colorbars mask everyone you know [Are you enjoying yourselves so far? Just making sure. Your happiness is my happiness. In fact… You’re quite similar to me in the end. ALL OF YOU] These colorbars mask everyone you know The audience is swaying to and fro In a telecast promoting vertigo For you to see, for you to see, to see you For you to see, to see you For you to see, to see you For you to see, to see you For you to see, I see you

at first i thought kennith’s eyes were wide open but i just realized that his eyes are half-lidded and i’m now scarred for life

Favorite songs by GHOST: 1. Broadcast Illusion 2. Honey I'm Home 3. Housewife Radio 4. Appetite of a People-Pleaser 5. Happy Days + special mention for In Iolite even though it's not a vocaloid

baby boy. baby

For a second i thought his cord was a *hair on my computer*

Fun fact : if you use Shampoo and soap for ur skin it becomes a shiny and beautiful skin like dis dudes legs

Ok why is no one talking about his perfect *skin and hair* Like boi what is your routine

He sounds so REALISTIC

So, my dad saw this artwork and said that one of my sister’s friends looked like this character. I hate to say it, but it’s absolutely true.

CAN WE JUST TAKE A SECOND TO APPRECIATE THAT INTRO-

Okay why is noone talking about 2:40??? IT SOUNDS SO GOOD WTF?????

4:25 Me: **notices that the final lyric is "I see you"** .... SHI-

'He looks like buggs bunny' -GHOST, 2016

KENNETH IS MY SON AND I ADORE HIM

Him: turn up the volume Me at like 3 am without any headphones: no, no I don’t think I will.

Had a epiphany listening to this Spoilers goes by the name Evelyn in case 2 Kennith hypnotized people in case 2 Think about incredibles 2 for a minute Did you notice something? The main villain of incredibles 2 is someone who hypothesized people via screens/technology AND IN THE END WAS REVEALED TO BE EVELYN-- _Oh shit Pixar copied ghost's plot--_ (Joking but the similarities are lowkey scary)

Kennith is the embodiment of "disaster gay" like damn

the texture of his hair kinda looks like ramen

I keep hearing it as colorballs but I’m not complaining

I thought the warning message said "This video contains bright, FUCKERING imagery"

I'd love to see someone write a musical of Communications, I feel like it would be fun af

0:56 “it’s a beautiful gay”

2:09 the applause sound is a adds nice touch to the song
