EVER because i dedicated several hours to doing nothing but exclusively uploading pages. if i continue at that pace tomorrow i'll finish it probably, then i will move onto v4.

Wish I had the words to describe how emotional it made me to see these two sets next to one another holyshit
Left one is from September 2021
It was a shitty time IRL and an hard time fandom-wise too, the escapism that was the community was slowly fading and becoming an hell on its own. Made a lot of mistakes cause I didn't know any better back then, dramas were escalating and I believe end of 2021 - early 2022 is when the fandom shattered in multiple pieces
Tho I was still motivated and modding, was really happy with his custom appearance, baby wearing his iconic Bitch crop top and his customized racing bolero
Right is from February this year (2024)
and woah, he looks... more mature? Older somehow, considering I never made drastic change to his character- Definitely at peace
Both sets were outfit showcases, and despite both being shot in the badlands, during the golden hours, they have suuuch different moods overall
Friendo described it perfectly;
Younger Val looks pensive, nervous about the night to come, staring at the setting sun in anticipation. While older Val looks at peace, calmly welcoming the dark that slowly crawl in between the desert's cracks
And we had a talk about how much of a mirror an OC can be? Reflecting our own thoughts, our own mood, without even realizing it until years later in moment like this, when comparing pictures
These past years has been rough, mentally and physically (talking about IRL here) and looking back, it definitely shows through Valentin
And looking at him now, even if I have some bad days here and there, even if I'm still in a transitional time, everything changing around me, I know that It's ok, that I'll be fine- That we will be fine
In the Animatrix (2003) episode titled "Beyond," we follow a girl named Yoko as she ventures into a glitch in the Matrix, discovering a hidden world where the laws of gravity seem to bend and reality is not as it seems.
And here is "Coda" from the K-PAX (2001) soundtrack... I recommend playing it over the scenes above... I believe the music captures her innermost feelings very well... enjoy!

Sob um céu pintado em tons de ouro e rosa, Aloy, a guerreira indomável, ergue seu arco, um raio de esperança em meio à exuberante primavera. Seus olhos, cintilantes como estrelas, refletem a fúria e a beleza da natureza que a cerca.
