Honestly
Something I want to say.
I've been sitting with a lot of thoughts lately, and I figured it's time to just say them out loud.
For a long time, I was focused on one thing: reach. How do I get more views? How do I get more people to watch? That was genuinely how I thought, and I'm not going to pretend otherwise.
But something has shifted in me.
The moments I'm most proud of aren't the ones that performed the best. They're the quiet ones. Noir slowly leaning down to pet her cat. Victoria and Elizabeth being sisters in the way only they can be. Kendra and Victoria just talking. And Bella's animation with the song. I remember finishing that and just feeling happy. No other reason. Just happy.
This world has changed a lot since where it started. And I've changed with it.
I want each character to come through clearly as themselves. Their name, their life, their personality. Not a concept. Not a format. Just them. And I want everything I make to actually mean something.
Things are changing. Not all at once, but with intention.
I still love every single one of them. And I'm not going anywhere.
Thank you for staying in this world with me 🤍

Hope you are doing well. How are you? Have you thought about history jokes? Like Zofia getting a surprise visit from Greta (who surprise tackles her) and Greta also "capturing" Noir. World war 2 jokes. Some history jokes can be cute like Kendra getting mad at Victoria and dumping her tea in the river. Or Kendra and Valentina getting into a fight so a wall gets built between them. Or Natalya inviting everyone to her home in winter. You're an amazing artist and I think you do an amazing job of giving each character personality in just a few frames. Zofia is my favorite even though I'm American. The art is so amazing that you could easily use some as postcards for friends. Wishing you the best and I think your wholesome work is the best!

I’m doing great
Guys I think he’s doing Q&A video
Awwww que bonitas palabras 🥹 espero poder seguir apoyándote 😎🍷👌
To be honest, I genuinely misindentified Matilda as Zofia for a sec in her latest iteration. To me, the new coloring combination on her skin didn't seem to go pretty well. Apologies. I much preferred Matilda's former skin coloring combination in the Christmas vid. She had the looks that seemed healthier and matched her personality. https://youtu.be/1u89ckES80I Launceston is one of the driest places in Tasmania and sunny. The place USA has with the most identical climate profile is Monterey in California. Presumably, you might want to rather apply her new skin coloring combination on the Argentine girl instead. As well as her gloomy vibes that already help, note Buenos Aires for its moody weather patterns and smoggy air. Imagine a Paris with a Londonian sky.
I got here idk but the work is very nice because it got my curiosity sparked up just to find if it's actual "bad" stuff, thank you WIA because if I didn't see any vid from you then I wouldn't have had a start to my acousticness or something
And we love you very much, don't give up, we have to move forward. Thank you for your creativity.💙
I can definitely say you've been going in the right direction. Your first videos were also very high quality, but just by comparing them to your recent works there's a very noticeable improvement, which happened in a very short amount of time. All in all, keep it up, you're definitely going places 🤍
That means a lot, thank you for noticing 🤍
Mình rất vui khi mình đồng hành cùng bạn trong suốt 2 năm vừa qua, đó là một hành trình dài và trong tương lai sẽ nhiều thứ hay ho hơn nữa và yêu bạn nhiều ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for being here for 2 years. That means more than you know 🤍
We love you too, What if animation! I still remember discovering you through the "1 Word and 17 Countries" video, and I really grew fond of your videos because I loved the style of your characters. I also remember how excited I was every time you uploaded a video to your old channel. Although, unfortunately, your original channel was later deleted, you never gave up and relaunched on Wia with almost the same type of videos you made on your original channel. The spark never faded, and I loved that. Yes, at first I did like your characters, although clearly at that time it was just because of their appeal. But later, when you started your channel on Hub, giving them backstory and explaining them better, I simply loved it. We've seen you through your worst moments and your best moments, but no matter what, we'll always be there for you, What if animation! Don't forget that we love you! 🤗❤️
This honestly made me smile. Thank you for being here since the beginning, and for growing with this world 🤍
It's a beautiful world with new and unique ideas and of course I'm always here too
Thank you for staying 🤍
WIA, i'm understand your feelings as long time ago, i know you're on that ways, and i know you made that videos before, and i like the girls that is feels more love than i expected, so stay strong as you can, We are always with you 🥹🌹
how close are you on making your show based on kendra
I understand your passion towards your characters, you see them as a form of life of your own making. I also understand your frustration of trying to stand out in the cacophony of a competitive environment. But rest assured, we see you. We support you.
I almost had an heart attack when I thought this was a goodbye post, but I when I actually read the post. It's amazing how far you went by starting doing videos of what if x thing was a gf to a world with many unique female characters from around the world who feel and connect the same way, which initially started with the 1 word, 17 countries that make many people (including me) discovering you. For me and us, it's not about doing projects you didn't enjoy to make in the first place just to chase the clout and fighting an unfair algorithm you cannot defeat, it's about how much passion, mundanism and life you brought into your creations and to show our appreciation, we suggested ideas, concepts and more that you could find interesting to make your characters and your world going further (like mine with Bella's animated loop, Natalya and Hana names for the russian and japanese characters respectively and many more.) Talking about quiet moments you actually like to do, I suggested multiple times those kind of moments through animations/wallpaper artworks such as Noir smoking cigarettes at night with the illuminated eiffel tower and synthwave music playing at the background, Matilda stargazing the southern constellation and aboriginal tasmanian constellations in the colorful nightsky along with her lamb, Linh in a raft filled with lanterns along with floating paper lanterns illuminating the river and the houses during the Hoi An festival as well and Minji in a rooftop watching a rare magical moment where the sky is covered by stars and the galactical arm in a city named Seoul where everything moves fast, things feel rigid and the sky is usually covered by light pollution. Those quiet moments show deeply these characters' true selves, thoughts and everything about them in a secret narration without any words and more louder and powerful than speech itself that make appreciate us your work even more and also thank your for our and your support throughout these 2 years by the way! ♥️
I really needed to read this. Thank you for remembering all of it, and for caring this much about them 🤍
No problem! It's why we're here! (And the lewd stuff, but that's not important right now). I know more views mean you would make more money (if you are monetized), but is it really that important if you don't make things that you don't enjoy? You should be uploading projects that you enjoyed making, not projects that get high numbers. Plus, I think the whole new channel thing might be a reason why your videos don't get more views anymore
Dude, you had some of us worried. Glad to see it was just a grateful post. And we're with you.
Sorry for the scare 😅 Still here.
Congratulations on how far you've come, and I think I speak for everyone when I say that we have a feeling this project will be much bigger and go even further. Congratulations!🎉🥳👍 It will be amazing to discover more about your characters and their lives with this new idea you have in mind
Let's see how far this goes 🤍
That makes me really happy to hear. I love the diversity of the cast and how each has their own quirks. And I especially loved Noir with the cat because it showed something completely different from her, even if for a brief second. It showed that these characters are more than just one dimensional and begin to be more fleshed out.
That Noir moment is still one of my favorites too. Glad it came through the way I intended.
Yo, I thought you were saying goodbye to us.
Not yet 😄
I'm being honest with you too. That's simply the best thing I've heard from you. I always loved it when I get to see their lore and depth instead of superficial aspects. Back then, people said they liked that "1 something, ℕ countries" format more than anything else. They might've made you think that way too. But I must tell you. No offense, just being genuine. I always thought it was all just "rosy retrospection" rather than real thoughts. Whenever you came up with a new idea, I loved it more. To me, your newer was always better. And I feel the need for saying this. I am so sorry for my past rude behavior toward you and your fans. Including people on this Patreon. I might've hurt so many without realizing. I regret that. And... thank you for forgiving me despite it.
Appreciate the honesty. Thank you.
Beautiful. I’m proud of your personal growth and can’t wait to see how far you soar. I’ll always believe in you. ❤️
I'll try to make it worth believing in 🤍
We'll always stay with you until the very end, WIA! Love the girls, and they'll be famous too!
We love you so much WIA ! And we love all girls of course ! 🩷🩷
We love you too 🩷
Oh, hopefully, your ocs Will be famous soon...
You're doing an amazing job 💪🏻 don't worry about it 🤩
We love you WIA. I’ll always support you.
Thank you 🤍
Well that’s the thing when you create characters: you fall in love with them
Exactly. And I wouldn't have it any other way.
