I May Have Had Too Much Fun Making These Thumbnails
Added 2025-12-05 12:50:21 +0000 UTCGiven that people seem to be really enjoying my random tangent videos, next week I will be putting up a twenty-eight(!) minute video on the absolute debacle that was Romance Con and EnchantiCon. Working title is something like: Romance Con is Dead (and Dramione/Harry Potter killed it)
Please enjoy these thumbnails. YouTube allows A/B testing of different title/thumbnail combinations, which is my favourite thing, as I am not good at knowing which one is going to work best.
If you have a preference, I would be interested to hear it, especially because I can then see how closely it matches general audience preferences! :)
ETA: I have added another purple one, in an attempt to make Harry stand out a bit more.
Comments
Back a few posts, you mentioned someone commented on spelling - but it was an American-English vs. British-English issue. I haven't found the book that had dozens of extra Zs in the front for the Americans, which was funny, but I did just run into this in the FAQ of a politics website, which I thought you and others might enjoy: Q: When are you guys gonna learn to spell? A: This grievance comes from pernickety people who have leapt into attack without checking the FAQs … and without even the remotest realisation that British and American words are sometimes spelt differently. They should have travelled more! We’ve been at the centre of some sulphurous rancour, but we’re not going to take offence or harbour any grievances. The catalogue of their ill-informed certainties won’t colour this organisation’s programme. It’s a grey area anyway. And we don’t want to labour the point. Except to add that most of these cavillous correspondents seem to feel that they have a licence or a blank cheque for a level of rudeness that more civilised souls wouldn’t have dreamt of. In response, we nevertheless practise polite dialogue, enabling them to recognise that the error is entirely their own. (We manoeuvre them towards the Oxford English Reference Dictionary, which is also an encyclopaedia.) This leaves them quite defenceless, which may account for the fact that these less than honourable individuals virtually never apologise.

2025-12-07 21:04:21 +0000 UTCI was going to say the blue Harry one too, But then I saw Rachel's comment mentioning the comment about laxatives. And despite my best efforts it's all I can see now too. So I'm going with the purple one, even if Harry has the same expression in all, I do like the purple.
