*in a funny voice* hey *drops phone* nooo!
A few people said that they were interested in me filming me dyeing my hair blue and doing a little Q&A
while I did that so that's what we're doing today.
I just have a whole bunch of really old dye.
I want it to be really light, so I'm just gonna use conditioner. We got the conditioner.
Gonna mis oil in it too, kinda I repair my hair cause it's fried.
There, can you see that now? Sort of?
First of all we're gonna add a little bit of... I think it's "azure" by color brilliance.
I really don't know so,
That's nice
I also have sky blue by color brilliance
Alrighty, I'm gonna add like just a drop of Transylvania by Arctic Fox
And a little bit of violet night by manic panic
just to tone out some of the yellow. *pours too much* nooo!
Just add a little bit more conditioner
I think you can see that? I don't really know what color were going for
It's just kind a li-... a light blue that will eventually fade to
hopefully a pastel blue
Lets do this I guess.
I should mention that I'm not wearing gloves but if you're thinking about dying your hair
You should definitely wear gloves
I'm gonna have blue hands, I've just accepted it already.
Okay. I have the questions here
So first one i,  do you put any products in your hair to style it? It just looks so fluffy.
Thank you!
Ahh, do I? I don't know. I use coconut oil and sometimes I use hair spray. I think that's about it. I would say
How do you take your pictures so naturally?
Honestly, I usually take like a whole bunch of pictures and 20 are just terrible and I hate them
I'm saying about the 25th picture is the one I would actually post. I don't know.
If you want to take the naturally then,
take them without thinking about it too much, just take em on the go I guess.
And not, like, posing too much.
Hey there, it's editing Braden
You're probably gonna see me a lot throughout this video because I was kind of out of it
when i was filming and I don't feel like I answered many of these questions well enough
But anyways tips to take your pictures more naturally
Um, I would say taking your pictures on the go and in the moment
Not thinking about them too much or posing too much. Posing too much. Um
And just having fun with it.
What/who inspires you to be the person you are today and/or do the things that you do now?
That's a tough one.
I get my inspiration from like so many places
Christofer Drew has always been a pretty big inspiration to me.
Oh and my dad, obviously, cause I've grown up with him
I'm very inspired by nature and music
I want say a large majority of it just comes from social media though, if being totally honest.
Um, I'm really inspired by Harmony Nice and Miles McKenna, lately.
I don't know. I'm so sorry. I don't even think that answers your question fully but
I have such a bad memory
It's so hard to stay because like I take a lot of inspiration from a lot of different people that I don't think that
Like I just can't name them all
um
Yeah, I'm sorry!
What are your plans for the future?
I don't know, I don't know what I'm doing in life.
If you mean like career-wise, I think music is the main thing, but also a little bit of art
I've always been very interested in those two. Yeah, whatever makes happy I guess
And I want to help other people too
I'd like to move to some kind of little cabin or cottage thing in the countryside
But I don't think I'll ever be able to afford that, who knows, not for a long time.
I guess just keep on working on stuff that I've been working on.
You know, (I'm) really interested in art and music, and being an artist and a musician,
But I kind of feel like I'm not the greatest
but also trying to like remind myself that
Music and art is just art and shouldn't be
Measured between being good or bad, so..
I'm so far behind part of me just kind of wants to like
Bury myself in the dirt and decay
but I also want to like travel the world and be happy and
Make other people happy, so we're going with that route.
Yeah, no real immediate plans at the moment. Um
Just trying to figure stuff out and do my best, you know
What type of music do you listen to?
I'd say mostly alternative/indie kind of stuff, and lo-fi, dare I say
I've been listening to the Gorillaz a lot lately
I didn't really answer this question very well
But I can't think of a better answer.. If you are interested in what kind of music I listen to
my Spotify is 'strawberryghost'
You can check out some of my playlists, I guess. Um, I listen to quite a lot of those.
I'm sorry if I seem very dead in this video. I'm so tired, I don't know why.
Why do you get most of your clothes? They're very stylish.
Thank you so much.
I'd say mostly hand-me-downs and thrift stores.
I'm sorry. I don't know where you can find the clothes that I have.
I really like winners, too
Especially, like, they really good quality stuff.
And if you go in their clearance sections, that has like really good quality stuff
that's really cheap.
I forgot to mentioned that forever 21 men's section, mostly,
occasionally has some good finds.
Maybe a few items from drop dead from a long time
back when I had a job and I would just
Spend my money on
the like, two shirts that I got it
How did you make the horns from your last post?
There is a video that I used
I think I used in the tutorial called DIY horns by simply Klaire. I'll put the link down below
I think I molded it with clay and then wrapped it with plastic wrap/saran wrap, I guess
and then went over that with paper cache, quite a few layers of that.
Took out the clay and plastic wrap, I believe,
filled it with cotton balls
painted it and I went over the bottom with some more paper mache
Added little clips to the bottom of it... yeah
Do you ever wonder if plants find plants sexually attracted? Is a brick just a domesticated rock?
Is teleportation same thing as time travel
Because time and space are relevant?
Hope these are good questions for your Q&A.
They are fantastic questions. I just don't know how to answer. I've never thought about
I've never thought about plants being sexually attracted to other plants but
um,
I think plants are- I think plants are asexual or I would imagine they are
But, um, who knows?
Is a brick just a domesticated rock?
Pretty much, yeah hahah
I guess
Is teleportation the same thing as time travel?
Maybe... I don't know...
That's a good question
These questions will haunt me until the day I die *piano music*
Yeah, thanks for those questions my man.
How the hell do always look so good? I love you lots buddy
I love you even more
Thank you so much. I definitely don't always look good. You're an actual angel. Love ya so much
mwah
How was coming out as trans? Any tips how to? I'm struggling here
And I'm thinking it might be better to come out when I turn 18 since I'm scared of being disowned
Any tips would be great. Love ya, River.
Love ya so much, buddy.
I don't know- I don't feel totally qualified. My experience was- it was kind of scary
Because it was such a big step, but I didn't really have to worry about
My safety I think because- like I'm extremely fortunate and lucky, I didn't have to
Worry about being kicked out or being disowned or anything. I wish it was like that for everybody else, but it's not
Unfortunately
It was kind of like worst situation, they would have just put it off again.
I mean, if you- if there's any chance of like risk,
I guess, do have a back-up plan, like a safe place that you can go to, I suppose.
I can try looking for more resources and put them in the description as well
and like worst comes to worst, if for whatever reason your parents,
Or whoever you're coming out to, doesn't accept you just know that there does a lot of people
and lots and lots of people who do accept you and
Your family doesn't have to be your blood family. If you will take me as your brother, I will be your brother
Till the very end and I love you so much
Just stay safe, I'm sending a lots of love and good luck for ya
Okay, so I found some videos
I'll link them down below a Kovu? Kovu? I don't know how to pronounce his name
I'm so sorry. I'm horrible at pronouncing things
But um, he has quite a few really helpful videos
There is how to come out as trans as well as dealing well unaccepted parents
I think that those two would be probably most helpful.
Dealing with unaccepting parents doesn't necessarily just touch on dealing with unaccepting parents
There's more-
There's lots of good tips in there
so, like definitely check out his channel if you haven't already
There's also a video called four tips for coming out to your parents, and that's by the Advocate
It's pretty good
I would say, too
Miles McKenna aka Miles Chronicles has a video called how to come out and be okay in 2018
Which is really good too just in case you haven't seen it. Lots of love to you best wishes
River also said that we should meet someday and I totally agree, please
That would be really really cool. Hell ya brother.
Where's my case from? My case is from Aliexpress
I think if you type in heart bubble case.. it should show up
Yeah, if you type up 'heart bubble case' on Aliexpress and there's like a whole bunch that look like mine
Mine's just clear, I have a rose gold iPhone so it kind of looks pink
So yeah
Will you post covers on your channel?
Yes. I'm actually of working on
Editing I want to get better by the bleachers.
It's getting dark in here. But as for the 'I want to get better' cover,
I just really don't like how it turned out. I don't like the footage
I don't know what I'm gonna do with it
But I'm probably gonna refilm it I think but yeah covers, they're your coming, they're coming
but don't get your hopes up too high though because like.. I'm just not extremely talented
Have you ever had depression or anxiety disorder?
I believe I was diagnosed with- I don't know if it's a major depression disorder or just depression in general
when I was like 13 or 14 or something and
Also social anxiety, which I am
Medicated for but I still don't really struggle with it,
Quite a bit. everyone with Fox. I wish I had any tips for that. I guess one thing that helps with that,
you've probably heard before but yoga, and
Writing in like journals and stuff like that, going outside,
Professional help or medical help, I really recommend that.
You're absolutely worthy of getting help
I'm not too sure if you're struggling with mental health or not
Many people are, and you're not alone. Sending you lots of love and wishing you lots of good luck.
Somebody just commented the number five,
Thank you so much. I'm not too sure what that means.
It's there a particul-
I can't talk. Is there a particular hair colour you like to dye your hair?
I'm not sure if you wanted me to answer this before actually I actually my hair ahah
But right now blue, and I think eventually maybe just brown.
It's possible that you might have been asking about my white hair,
If that was the case, um,
I think for the most part I used a purple conditioner. I don't have any good recommendations for that
I also use a little bit of purple dye mixed with a whole bunch of conditioner
to tone it, for the white.
[music]
What state do I live in?
I live in like south western Canada, I think
like like the bottom of it so
I don't really live in a state. I'm sorry.
What's one thing you want to do before you die?
First thing that comes to mind is like tour, I guess
Explore the world. I think that's about it
Explore a lot, find happiness
How many people have you dated?
Two, if you're counting serious relationships
Do you a plan to get married or have kids?
I don't really plan to but
Whatever comes my way, I guess.
I w- I would love to be a parent some day and just be the best parent that I could be
and I mean if I meet the love of my life, whoever the heck that is
and we decide that we want to get married, then, so be it, I guess.
Favourite plant?
I would say dandelions, honestly
I also really like lavender
but just dandelions have always been my favourite.
Something that never fails to piss you off and something that never fails to make you happy something?
Something that never fails piss me off...
Homophobia, transphobia,
racism, ableism- is that how you pronounce that? Just people being beep and beeps.
I said two bad words...
what I meant was people being
ignorant and
mean,
people abusing power...
You said one thing for each though, didn't you?
I always come up with like a way more than one whenever I'm asked ahah I'm sorry
Something that never fails to make me happy?
My cat
um, also just kindness usually.
I think my whole head is covered- oh right!
We gotta put on the fancy hat
Gonna leave this in for like an hour or an hour
and I'll answer the rest of questions when I'm drying my hair off, I suppose
I look extremely dead
I could be like a 2D impersonator. I think I have joined the clown life. Ohhh I just look so ba-
So, for the rest of the questions
You're stuck on an island for five years and you can only bring one of these five companions:
Dr. Phil, Karen (she wants talk to the manager),
Bernie Sanders, Donald Trump's wife, or the last person you DMed
Who do you choose pal?
I would say Bernie Sanders but like he's kind of aging and he's got a really important job to do so
I don't want to take it out to this deserted island- not necessarily deserted, but I don't want taken to this island
for five years but like I love them so much. Don't get me wrong.
Could you imagine to an island with Dr. Phil for five years?
I barely even know what his personality is like
Karen would drive me nuts. I think Donald Trump's wife would also drive me nuts, too
so
Probably the last person I DMed, which was the ether Nan or Chris.
Speaking of Chris, he asked me, do I have any pet peeves?
I think I have quite a few
I really don't like when people don't wash their hands after going to the bathroom
I don't like the sound of when somebody's doing the dishes and they're really being really
noisy and the dishes are clashing together or like, uh-
Somebody's eating cereal with a metal spoon and it's just so loud. They keep being the spoon and scraping it
Against the bowl. I don't like that either
But yeah, love ya too buddy!
Thank you so much. Uh, and also I almost forgot cloud scribbles
I love it cloud scribbles' videos so much. Oh my god. They have the best.
G- Subscribe to them right now, their videos are so cute and
Fantastic, I could not recommend them enough. But anyways,
fav movie of 20...
do you ever forget how to pronounced numbers? cause I do all the time
20-18 okay
Fav movie from 2018 so far?
I want to say Deadpool 2 cuz it was really, really good
I would say Love, Simone, but I still haven't seen. Really upset that I haven't seen it yet
I'm sure that's really really good
But it's not on Netflix yet, not in Canada at least
MmmHmm
I think that was everything though, so thank you very much for all your questions.
I got a lot more, but I thought that I would
So, that was wild. Love you so much
[music]
Thank you for watching, I hope you're doing good, It's okay if you're not doing good
It'll probably be
August by the time I get this up so hopefully that's a great month for everybody
Yeah, see ya- see you later
