Thinking about the internet and the multitudes it contains.

I’ve discovered so many lovely things through the internet. Art, music, friends, avenues of learning, interesting facts and trivia, things I never would have found otherwise, that really really make me happy. Some of my best friends, some of my favourite art, I’ve found through the internet. Genuinely, there are some days I feel like I wouldn’t be here if not for the lovely things I’ve found.

But also being on the internet has fostered so much sadness and neuroticism in me. I am constantly bombarded with all the worst news in the world and told if I don’t think about all of it, all the time, I’m a terrible person. Me even saying this is probably going to make some people think I’m a selfish and terrible person for having the audacity to say it’s exhausting to be bombarded with all these terrible things and the pressure to think about them. How dare I not care, right.

I don’t know. There’s just. A lot the internet has to offer. It’s beautiful and terrible all at once I suppose.

A silly little animation of one of my OCs. His story is presently on the back burner due to me being in a weird place with it, but that wasn’t the case when I started this, so here we are.

This is first time animating in CSP! Turned out pretty okay, I think.

The audio is lifted from DeepBlueInk’s video “Brennan Lee Mulligan Hates Snilk”

Always a bit of a quandary when people recommend things to me. Because I really love hearing what art my friends enjoy and appreciate, I like learning about the things that the people I love love.

But on the other hand.

Please do not recommend things to me. My backlog of art I want to experience is desperately immense already. Only now in the Year Of Our Lord Twenty Twenty-Four am I playing Undertale for the first time.

It takes a special sort of anxiety to apologise to your doctor for having Ailments.

Death's Door fan 👁️👁️ (I just recently beat the game btw)

Yes!! I love Death’s Door! ^_^

It’s a huge comfort game to me. I love the art style and the music and all the characters are just so charming. I’ve 100%-ed it twice haha

I really ought to make more art for it…

I don’t know how to say this in a way that doesn’t sound like I’m advocating for casual cruelty or whatever but something that grates so much about this current social moment is how many people are incapable of saying they dislike something or someone without cooking up some higher morally correct reason for their dislike. Sometimes you just disliked a book. Sometimes you don’t “get” an actor or a musician. There’s nothing morally wrong with your girl’s fuckass boyfriend he’s literally just annoying and you’re annoyed that you have to pretend you like him when you know he’ll be history in six months. It’s fine. You don’t need to justify your dislike.
