Welp, we can blame the guy who created it then.
>>1267997
All of them are themes from various Ghibli movies, Kiki's Delivery Service, Howl's Moving Castle, don't recognize the last couple off the top of my head.
There needs to be more gondolas using the Nier ost.
It's perfect for this.
Guys I need to tank you, thank you for these Gondolas, every single one of you, they really put a smile on my face and I really appreciate that.
Maybe on day I'll be as comfy as a comfy Gondola, until then, I'll keep watching the world as a lonely observant Gondola.
Thanks.

>its like you wanna capture a transient moment in time and hold it in eternity. that's what gondola does.
This is so well put, I need to quote it and bring it into this next thread.

New idea: make a gondola sitting infront of a flickering blue screen
>>1268591
>>1268592
Oh man I thought this was gonna use a HANL song and got excited. This is still incredibly dope though.
>>1268534
Don't be mad. Gondola doesn't want you to be mad. He understands.
Maybe it was not meant to be.
>>1267960
Sounds like that dirty little secret song
I'm making my first Gondola and I've finished the drawing on paint, how do I add music and animations?
Movie Maker?
I honesly have no clue since I'm horrible with stuff like that, if someone can give me some tips or tell me about a guide it would be appreciated.
I'll post a few I like.
another I like
>>1268694
you could download VSDC video editor. I imagine that the animations you would want would have to be seperately drawn. if the animations were small then I would imagine that it wouldn't be too difficult.
>>1268694
I've never really made one before either, so I think the animations would essencially be loop, or if it was really simple then just copy the loop a few times while the audio plays so it isn't just a black screen.
>>1265836
souce on song please?
I don't this meme, pls explain it to me, what is so special about them? I must admit I cought my self watching some gondola webms times and times again, I'm always amazed how much effort people put into make them, also the music always fits.
Its kinda surreal and feels somtimes like there is a whole story behind the picture, like a part of a movie but not any part, more like the conclusion of the story which is either sad or comfy.
How can this work with a meme which is based on another meme, which is also based on another meme?
>>1266848
Computer love - Kreftwerk
>>1268755
its an art form, the Gondola is the creator and it describes how you feel, how you perceive the world etc.
It has no arms, only eyes and legs, he can walk and feel and experience the world but he is stuck in a moment experiencing whatever emotion/thought that moment depicts.

>>1268694
Hey, ive only made a couple, and i just started so im not that good either.
I use GIMP to add a gondola into an image i want (making several as separate image frames for animation), then use Lightworks (a free video editing software) to put the images in, adjust the timing for it, and then add the music that ive cut to size using Audacity (a free sound editing software)
I then export it as an .mp4 from lightworks and upload it to a .webm converter to get the final product.

>>1268755
I guess people didn't just want another spurdo-like meme. Technically gondolas are spurdo with just another irony layer on top of them, but it reached that level of irony that it became something rather toughtful. A bit liker vaporwave.
People agreed that gondolas don't talk. After a while, people interpreted them as creatures who walk and observe the world in silence.
The evolution of meme's is weird. Especially in these days where we have multiple layers of irony in them
Some oc
moi OC
>>1268755
Gondola goes further. It’s about beauty. As the child of the neo-aestheticist movement that is the now ironically overused ‘New Sincerity’, a Gondola is as silent as a stranger’s knowing nod. The Underground has earned for itself an intense self-awareness through its struggle with the Mainstream for Pepe or the short-lived spelunk into the abyss of Meta-Irony by the likes of Shitpostbot. At the exit of the cave we discovered that the one thing which persists through all those layers of irony was that which attracted normies to their consumeristic corruption of Pepe in the first place—beauty. That’s it: beauty will save our most cherished creations from corruption.
In this way, Gondola is delicate but incorruptible. An ‘edgy Gondola’ is just an armless Spurdo. Gondola is a feeling that comes from the tenderness of the heart we might call a New Naivete: the earnest, childlike understanding that it’s OK to simply feel things, happy or sad. It is a brave, self-aware vulnerability only possible for those who know the loneliness of self-deceit. Gondola is a paradigm of this Post-Irony, just as Wojak’s depression and Pepe’s cynicism were each a paradigm of the Mainstream’s Pre-Irony and the Underground’s Irony. It’s the golden mean between the shallow narcissism of the Mainstream and the desperate cynicism of the Underground. From the disrupted balance between Feel and Frog came the death of Pepe, but we endured Meta-Irony’s trial by fire, and found hope of reconciliation. Pepe lives on through Gondola in the form of this hope.
>>1268755
A Gondola is entirely palatable—it is cute, interesting and charming. It is sincere and relatable. In the earnest black eyes of a Gondola, we do not find an inside joke or an Internet status symbol. There is no hidden agenda or political signaling. Instead, there is gratitude, for the existence of some beauty in the world they inhabit, which is something that cannot be reduced by the possibility of misunderstanding or misrepresentation. Love of beauty begets more of the same—it’s the lesson from Baneposting that folk artists of the Internet should take to heart. So long as we can simply love the beautiful, Gondola will live.

I think they are missing out.
>>1267379
I feel like I've seen this on an episode of Bevis and Butthead
Alright guys, I made a new one, it has a different feeling from the first one >>1269297
this one is more fun I suppose.
Regarding what anons said above, I honestly think Gondola is primarily a guy thing, it's just a feeling of mine but even though people say women are the emotional gender I still feel like most of them can't feel as deep as most guys do, I do feel like there are exceptions though, nothing is black and white. That's where Gondola kicks in, it is the embodiment of a single emotion captured in a moment which lasts forever, girls might have similar feelings to the ones we try to convey through gondolas but they are fleeting, short-lived in a way, expressed through drawings and photos of objects or obscure figures meant mainly to be seen by others in order to gain the feeling depicted in the said drawing/photo. Feelings depicted in Gondola are mainly nostalgic and/or melancholic. Gondola is there so that we may attach ourselves to it and experience the emotion. Girls just don't linger the way guys do, they rarely wonder the way guys do... I am sorry if what I have said offends anyone but it is just the way I feel about the world.
>>1264936
I didn't want feels but here I am.
my favourite
>>1270849
youre gettin it now
>>1270869
I was the guy that said that and honestly, I feel like you are spot on with the Gondola think, I said that half jokingly but if someone were to capture the feeling of Gondola like we do, that would be amazing, someone who can understand us.
Your description of the Gondola is really really good.

Btw good job on your Gondola, its pretty simple but its nice.

>>1270869
>>1271031
It's pretty weird that you guys think that more than half of the world population isn't capable of introspection. Probably a great deal of this board and 4chan in general are women, contributing to conversations about shared emotions such as the ones evoked by gondolas. Some people aren't going to feel the exact way as you, but it's likely not related to their gender.
>>1274592
>Probably a great deal of this board and 4chan in general are women
lets not get ahead of ourselves, here. Gondola is inherently a lonely observer, which is something they can't really understand in the same way we do.

Love how you animated the wind rolling across the grass. The little details are perfect. Well done.
>>1274748
Now post the other one.
this one's my favorite. not sure who made it
as for the meaning of gondola; gondola, to me, captures two distinct ideas:
1. a wistful/melancholic/nostalgic bittersweet feeling. a sweetness of recollecting the salad days of youth.
2. a feeling of serenity discovered in a moment of stillness without desire or any movement of the soul. gondolas live their lives in such a peaceful state, unfettered by ambition or self-interest.
that's how i see it anyways
>>1268401

I'm the anon that wrote the essay you replied to above. In all honesty I would love to to feel like I'm wrong about the things I said and I would love to have a feeling that most girls are capable of willfully experiencing emotions depicted in a Gondola and that they just wonder from time to time thinking of the abstract and not the material... but I don't, and I've said it above, it's just a feeling of mine that I'm not very fond of. Like I've said before I feel like there are exceptions and I'd love to meet those exceptions one day. Almost every girl I've met had a relatively same mindset, they focus on finding an ideal partner and that's it, it's like everything they do revolves around that goal and they have no time for the abstract in life. I'd have to say, even my own gf is like that in a sense, but I wouldn't have made her my gf I I thought she wasn't different so I think she falls at least a bit in the category of those exceptions... This might sound gay but I find myself wanting a partner that's basically a guy in a female body more often than not... In conclusion, I do think there are girls who can appreciate Gondola it's just that they are very rare, and in the end like I've said before, this is just a feeling of mine that I wish I didn't have and nothing except myself can't get rid of it, only through experience.
>>1275119
I feel like this is much more /r9k/ than the zen gondola kind of mindset.

Just a simple happy creature who travel the world, enjoy the beauty of the world, and sometimes, meet some people. Weird guys, good guys, interesting guys, or not . Gondola listen all their stories, always with his smile .
It's a beautiful life.

Holy shit. What I find cool about gondolas is the way they unlock certain feelings or memories - not concrete ones but more like the memory of being in a certain state of mind - that you had long ago that were sort of trapped in your brain. I'm not sure if feelings or memories is even the best word. It's like you were passionate about some obscure sub-sub-subgenre of cartoon or video game or something when you were young, one that nobody believes you that it existed, so you stop believing too, and it gets lost, and you lose a part of yourself - and then the gondola dredges this state of mind from deep within your synapses, and that part of you is restored.
The gondola I replied to just did that for me, but of course it's not just limited to them. What I find interesting about this is that I now wonder if there are parts of me that I still need to 'unlock'. I have this idea that there is something else, lodged in my brain, something from my early childhood, that I loved. I occasionally feel a glimpse of it - things like Moonsong from Cave Story, or certain ambient sounds in electronic or prog music hint at it. I don't know if it was a book or TV show, but it was something about being in touch with space, being alone but yearning to to be part of something bigger out there. Maybe I'm just imagining it though.

It's writen like bait, but he's not wrong. Unfornately a majority of the current crop are by-the-numbers 'muh deep transcendance' google image + gondola drawn in haphazardly with no effort or expression in them. The crop of 'I hope I get reposted/someone likes my obscure music choice/how do i get in on this meme' rather than making something fun, evocative, or creative regardless of innate skill has/is killed this meme. It's on its natural way out now, which is a blessing for it's own sake.
Same point I've been making for some time, and I have 200+ gondolas in my collection. See: >1247043, the mountains of gondola threads I've made myself, with how-to guides and pastas to encourage new content and less teen philo-wankery, etc

Nice.
Now how about Gondola in the same position sitting on logs near a medieval type area? Maybe with a dragon burning a castle and knights on horses rushing to fight it.
i made this one when the gondola thing started but i thought i wasnt very good or didnt portray very well the "sad/melancholic" feeling gondola is known for.
no webms since im a gigantic retard

Can someone with more talent than me make a webm of this image, perhaps with Gondola sitting in a chair or looking out the window, and use this music?

I know that feel, anon. Go for a nice walk the next chance you get and appreciate the passage of time!

this anon is right, it has to be a meditation both in terms of what we make and how we make them. It's zen in meme form when done right.
