Ok so lets say aliens have “some” knowledge of firearms, and with different planets come different atmosphere, introduce Archery.
The Goruud army landed on a planet where the atmosphere made it impossible for the humans firearms, and luckily their own. their forces marcher towards a large open field in front of the human base, A standard Goruud does not match a human in close combat but their large number proved annoying, they marched forward with confidence, suddenly the rhythm of their march was cut but loud whistling of mysterious sticks in the air, the soldiers look up as it rains down on them, suddenly their comrades are being cut down by these rods of steel, as they painfully marched forward they saw humans in the wall holding bent rods with strings attached, loading sharp rods into them, stretching them back as they set the rods loose and crash upon the marching soldiers. As they crept closer some humans grabbed a weapon similar albeit smaller, a bent rod resting on a platform similar to a rifle, a crossbow, the line held their front shields as crossbow bolts ripped through straight, impaling the bolts into their hides as the front fell, and then another, and another, the Goruud army fell back as the mountains of dead had their flesh rot under their feet, Human Archers were sent in to reinforce the outposts, but the forests where the Goruud hid were not safe either.
In the dead of night archers snuck in the trees, Rangers, there were called, and silently killed off officers or men who raised morale, spiritual leaders, and cowards were killed, the human’s laughing at this “fish barrel” of targets made the Goruud campaign on this planet as costly as any other, and as most campaigns go, an utter failure. Soldiers turned to crazed madmen as human laughter and the silent whistles of their bows killed their brothers in arms. Each night every soldiers prayed to their wayward gods that a Ranger does not pick them next.
A year passes, one year, human soldiers parade through their cities and villages telling the tales of humiliation of Goruud forgetting that before guns, before cannons, gunships, LARGE scale fleets, they had the bow, a primitive tool that stood the test of time, countless millenia it was used in warfare, and in the future it became a staple in worlds where gunpowder and explosives were unfit in the atmosphere.
Let me set the scene, I’m at home, watching “WATCH THIS WITH THE LIGHTS OFF| Stories Untold – Chapter 1” and I am hard of hearing.
It’s not even 10 minutes in, and I have to stop watching it.
Would you like to hazard a guess why?
Someone who is doing the subtitles is adding their own side comments and in some cases are even missing out on HIS commentary.
I get that you want to add your own input, but that is what the comments section is for.
Yes we are eternally greatful for you transcribing the video so we can watch it but all of your work goes to waste when we can’t understand it.
With subtitles, you need to be able to read them quickly and smoothly with as little interruption as possible.
Things like (He giggles) is okay as it tells us what he’s doing, but things like (Oh god this is scary XD) when HE himself isn’t saying it can really throw us off.
Another issue is Zalgo text, I’ve said this many times but DO NOT use Zalgo text in your subtitles for anti. We cannot read it. There has been several cases in this video so far where they have added their own imput and it can get really confusing.
So please, please, please, do not make subtitles fun, they are for function not fun.
We are greatful for the work you do, it allows us to experience the wonders of youtube.
Sincerely,
-The Deaf, HoH, and non-English speakers of the YouTube community.
( @therealjacksepticeye I was wondering if you’d be able to speak out on this and make people aware? Sometimes they don’t know they’re doing it.)
I have been called selfish, problematic and faking it for attention because of this post. Do you see why we need some recognition. I have FRIENDS who think the subtitles are for jokes and if we are going to complain use the automated ones.
That defeats the purpose. They are there to help us.
I got, well, someone tried to argue with me. They said and I quote;
“ok listen here as none of us are actually deaf we shouldn’t be speaking for the people who /are/“
so clearly they were arguing without actually reading my post lmao.
And then this trump card;
“yeah, im salty bc none of their arguments are making sense. u got your damn subtitles stop complaining and enjoy what you’ve got you don’t need to know every single word everyone says”
Yes let me repeat that.
“You don’t need to know every single word everyone says”
Okay buddy, old pal, listen up.
THAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THE SUBTITLES; TO KNOW WHAT PEOPLE SAID.
And they proceeded to talk about how since they didn’t need it no one did.

good morning everyone have an absolutely furious mongoose
It’s cuter when you recognize that the lion with visible spots is a juvenile. There’s a very high chance the other lion that runs over to investigate is the MOTHER.
The first lion is asking for comfort because she was given a big spook!!! and she needs mommy to tell her it’s safe and ok!!!! (What’s cuter is that mommy clearly reassures her, and goes on to take the parent role of ‘deal with the scream rat in order to protect my large and easily frightened daughter’)
This is just from my own experience alone, but while in a coma it’s possible for you to dream about real life!
Again, from my experience only, sometimes it makes no sense (like climbing the walls by wiggling), you don’t always recognize people in the dream (even if they’re your friends and family *cough* Schneep *cough*), and you can sometimes hear real life people talking, but it sounds like you’re underwater (Chase in the newest Stories Untold)
Do with this as you will, I’m literally just saying this from complete impulse xD ~Lyric
Wait….
Could that mean that Schneeps’ efforts during KJSE meant that he was left in a coma? Because that would make it a very curious but cool theory!
not at all. in fact, i’m not a fan of it either. i know it’s fiction, but like i don’t think that’s the message jack wants to send to his audience.
the thing about the doll’s hand is that i believe it’s just a doll’s hand. dolls are scary! there are billions of horror movies centered around them. the doll’s hand might represent chase’s family, that his little girl loves playing with dolls and now there’s a piece of it that he found and he’s terrified of losing them.
i mean, if anything jack was probably just mirroring the game he just played, about finding appendages in places they shouldn’t be. y’know, trying out spooky stuff irl !
that also plays along to the theory that i’ve been seeing crop up that because of chase’s mental instability that led him into murdering his family. and i feel like that goes against everything that jack represents. jack is very serious about keeping a positive mental attitude, so i feel like it wouldn’t be right to show a mentally ill character do such a heinous act when he’s promoting the importance of having a healthy mind.
if anything, how jack would probably do it, is that chase ends up getting help. that when chase is dealing with depressive episodes, that he seeks dr schneeplestein for help, and that he’s on meds to help him through, showing that he can get better even if there are things weighing him down.
i mean, chase having a mental illness is not even canon, it’s just something that the community adapted because of the fact that chase was depressed in his video. and it’s okay to be sad sometimes, especially about something as drastic as a divorce.
i know it’s all just fiction, but i feel like there are better and scarier ways of going about to do spooky stuff than the ‘mentally ill family killer’ trope.
plus, it’s chase. chase is a character that was created parodying dude perfect. he’s a very energetic and lovable person. i don’t think jack’s gonna be cheap and be like ‘oh he was evil all along!’. i mean, look at today’s video, chase saying “jack, this is chase, you need to wake up.” shows that he does have concern for jack. i truly and firmly believe that chase is a good person.
I am a little high but what if people proposed with beautiful, intricate knives. Ladies would gather around the table and be like “guess what finally happened!!” And pull this beautiful, intricate dagger out of her purse and all the other ladies would gasp and congratulate her
Me: I’m a little high but –
Y’all rushing to that reblog button:
It’s an awesome idea tho
Wedding Rings: Tired, ordinary, no practical use
Wedding Knives: Stylish, fashionable, useful in everyday life
