it's been like twenty fucking days man
So after the last post, some things happened, go figure.
The following Thursday I went to a pretty awesome Man Random show, again. It was great but it culminated in me and Forged getting a very severe sinus infection and Steve and a few of our friends getting Covid. Which lead to the last week and a half of almost nothing happening. It's been a real enormous downer. I feel like I'm picking back up the pieces. Forged and I somehow did //not// have covid after multiple tests, which is somehow all the same emotionally compromising because being sick is just fucking horrible.
I'm gonna try to talk about what's been going on, but mostly I got very, very sick. The image below is a decent imagining of what that was like for me.
Whoa. So what else is there to say? I've been watching the new backlog of all of Internet Historian's secondary channels' content, as well as a huge amount of other odds and ends. Being sick makes it really get weird, right? I watched a video from a popular lefttuber recently, and it made me feel like I broke an important sobriety streak or something, and it left me feeling really unhappy. It was a good video it just really brought the quantum fuckedupidness to the front again.
Being sick really sucked all of that time up, I've hardly been able to work on anything except keeping my head above water.
At the beginning of me being able not to work I kind of reached out to a pool of like 5 of my friends to do mutual reviews of our various art of various mediums for fun content but being sick it's kind of come apart, so that's one more thing for me to start trying to work on again.
I ordered some really cool stuff from one of my best mates, Liziveth, and you should do similarly because it was worth it. The athletic tee, in particular, I got mine with this print but you could do, any of them. Good stuff.
I'm kind of reviewing my like backlog of photos, drawings, calendar marks and messenger logs to piece together the timeline of events since I got sick, but it's mostly like, me ranting in a disordered capacity about bikes and FNAF lore.
At one point early on, the weather fluctuated 40 degrees in each direction over the course of 4 days, and I'm surprised more people didn't respond very strongly to that. It worsened Forged and I's whole lives. Weather snaps like that make it hard for me to live my life, my body responds so badly. It makes me feel extra weird that I feel like I never hear about other people struggling with that.
I found somewhat funny news coverage of it, where honestly the meteorologist is just bumming about how it was hot the weekend before, but it really feels like it hits the abstract crazy feeling of how it literally made us physically sick that the temperature swung so much so fast.
Hardly a thing else really. I'm soon to add Deviantart and Newgrounds officially to the landing page, but there's a lot of clean-up to do.
I wasn't going to deal with Deviantart, since it kind of doesn't seem worth it with the other coverage I'm trying to maintain, but it's an important artifact. Stuff from when I was in middle school on there. I didn't follow a huge amount of artists but of the few dozen I did, the only truly active ones are, well, eychanchan who is somehow doing StupidFox still after a decade and a half, and... Jollyjack. I guess I can own that. Can't be denied that he's exceptionally talented. I'm definitely not into buff bunny girls and whatever other particular fetish highlights can be gleaned from the guy's expertise, but the stylization imprinted on me very strongly in middleschool. That guys gotta be in his 40s now. Wild ride.
I added an under-construction gateway to Complete Text World. I've got enormous plans for that, and for the time being am kind of pivoting focus from editing the video [very tedious, difficult] to creating the sequential gif animations [exceptionally tedious, difficult] that will primarily comprise Complete Text World. I'm really primarily trying to just develop it in a faux chronological way, but all of it is just a framework to showcase my written work, it's supposed to be one of my smaller projects, but I can never be responsible for keeping anything reasonable.
I even want to do audio effects for it...
I did sketch a lot, or at least some. let's see what the pictures tell us.
Turns out it gets easy really fucking fast to draw when you're drawing in order to procrastinate on editing a video because it's hard and scary. I obviously also did those little gem gifs for the construction page on Text World. So I tried to stay productive as if this is about proving something. I got a real complex about it. That's kind of everything for now. Hopefully it's all uh, on the mend from here. I've really been wiped out. It hurts the worst that I'm losing time and traction on things I care about and love, but that's life I suppose. thanks for reading, let me know what's up. cause I don't know what's up I had a sinus infection. kisses >:)
