here are some more miscellaneous post-ts headcanons but this time we're not going pro teams we're taking a walk on the side of your average working adult let's go!!

okay let's be real do we REALLY think lev is in charge of his own social media accounts bc i feel like that's a dumpster fire waiting to happen

i'm going to say yes because it's funny as hell

he tweets things like "lol i worked with [insert older veteran actor here] today i had no idea he was such an asshole" and gets frantic phone calls from the pr team like three seconds after posting

his instagram is also full of like. really blurry casual pics and just doesn't look professionally curated at all but the fans love him for it

i'm actually super curious as to whether he gets typecasted a lot and if so i'd love to know what it is

i want to say goofy comic relief side character?? so when he gets selected for a serious drama role nobody is expecting him to blow it out of the water but he does!!!!!!

also another thing lev does that gives his pr team a heart attack is when he posts anything vaguely related to his love life. which funnily enough are the only quality non-shitposts he does himself

like you've got the aesthetic silhouettes against a wall, the hands intertwined on a candlelit table, the vague tweets of "so lucky to wake up next to you. wish it would never end <3" and everyone's going WILD trying to figure out who it is

(and, well, nobody is going to notice shibayama yuuki liking the posts amidst all the other pro volleyball players who do, right?)

shirabu's got a rep in med school for having the worst fucking bedside manner of all time

well not really i think he's like. the kind where fellow/older colleagues and such judge him for it and they think that he could stand to be a LITTLE bit nicer but if he works with kids or whatever i bet the kids would actually really like him.

he's dry and straightforward and calm and takes them seriously and treats them like adults. the only thing he does to baby them is dumb down the medical jargon into an explanation they can actually understand

ugh shirabu actually makes me really soft for what an asshole he is

oh but if you're a bitch ass bastard for no reason he'll try to be as snarky as he can be without like. getting reported to hr or whatever

sorry i know this probably isn't how medical professionalism works irl once again i just think it'd be really funny

also can i just say that i think it's the funniest fucking thing that komi became an actor. like where the hell did THAT come from

i feel like he got thrust into doing a role for a class play during cultural festival season and got hooked on it probably? because literally when else would he have the time to get into/practice that kind of shit

that's probably a fun fact he drops during a magazine interview or something LMAAAAO

"yeah volleyball practice took up most of my time, and i never really thought about doing anything else. but then things changed in my third year of high school when i got cast for cinderella . . ."

speaking of fukurodani. yukie and kaori my beloveds

i skipped out on them during my managers post which i regret deeply and dearly so here they are!!

full disclaimer i don't know how sports promoters actually work i'm assuming they promote whatever sports games they are assigned instead of just sticking to one sport only? which means that whenever kaorie gets her hands on something that isn't volleyball she gets a dozen texts from bokuto moaning about betrayal and treason and all that

when kaori gets with someone she meets through work (so someone on a pro sports team) the rest of fukurodani are like "okay but he's a BASEBALL PLAYER" as if being a baseball player is the most atrocious thing a person could be

kaori's like "guys come ON i told him all of you were cool!" and everyone's like "now why in the world would you tell him that"

yukie has a decently popular cooking channel that is loved not for her yummy recipes or her aesthetic filming but because none of her kitchenware matches

she just collects whatever she likes + a bunch of shit that's been gifted to her and while it should make her kitchen look cluttered it's all just very cozy and lived-in

like. all her pots and pans are different colors and themes. no pair of chopsticks are the same. she has a ladle shaped like a dinosaur and a teapot glazed with magnolias on the side

her recipes DO slap tho she and osamu collab a lot

UGH i love them living nice fulfilling adult lives i wish that were me

#hey guys i am. slowly trying to get back in the game!!#haiba lev #shibayama yuuki #komi haruki #shirabu kenjirou #shirofuku yukie #suzumeda kaori #shibalev #haikyuu #haikyuu!!#haikyuu hcs #sou says stuff

Alright its introduction time

Im CHERRIEZKIN! Please never fucking call me Chez ever EVER again. I dont wanna be associated with that oc anymore.

I occasionally make weird jokes about fictional characters (sorry about that I'm possibly hypersexual.) but i don't wanna see NSFW TOO often so purely NSFW accounts.... don't even like a single post of mine at all plz :3 (unless you make NSFW of characters i like like..... Heheh. Not really but really)

Also I'm a minor!!!!!!! Never forget that!

Anyways i got some interests like Solarballs, Shovelwares brain game (Ish since my internet dried up a little), Captain underpants, The youtube shorts arg, Vocaloid (Ish), Undertale , SMG4, DHMIS, Alphabet lore, OMORI, FNF (Ish since the fandom sucked and a part of me refuses to go back there for my own mental health. However Vs Bob is here since its just my humor n stuff as an FNF mod), Bugbo (Ish since it got pushed aside by my other fixations), The amazing digital circus, Pretty blood, Art, BFDI, Object shows in general, Riddle school (Ish since the creator sucks and i only mentioned it here because i know what it is) REGRETEVATOR, Tally hall (ish), Vs Bob and etc

though i post about some fandoms more than others but it doesn't mean i don't like any fandom on this list that isn't mainly being posted about here

its just that i draw Wallter from REGRETEVATOR pregnant instead of talking about how Rinny from Pretty Blood is a fucking bitch because my fixations are in a constant war

i also have a Tiktok and a mostly abandoned Youtube account (don't look at certain posts on my tiktok you'll go blind)

Also this account is mostly full of shitposts, Memes, Reblogs and doodles so good luck finding high quality art here!!!

Also Wallter is my favorite character.

And my heart cannot be put on a leash so i have a crush on that gayass

i respect the gay rep and its just that i got attracted because i don't fucking know (sorry)

Also a Wallmark and Jimter/Walljim shipper

i have a bit of a tier list showing my opinions on the regret characters (With a bit of bias and fandom influence)

Yeah

Also.. If you fucking portray one of my favorite characters as a rapist or an abuser.. I hope you die!!!

Cis males who indentify as lesbians.. Stay miles away from me too!!! (Trans or GNC people who indentify as that... You're decent. Not too much of a fan of the label you chose but labels are confusing so you do you ig??)

Same goes for the basic DNI criteria and anti furries. Yknow... Proshippers and shit.

Also who didn't tell me earlier that the Vs Bob fandom is on this site wtf man

anyways that's all you need to know uhh have a weird image!

hgehdhdh

What do i even

Todays rip: 21/04/2024

we are number one but with outdated memes over it

Season 1 Featured on: GilvaSunner's Highest Quality Video Game Rips: Volume 7: Part mm2wood Also on: Now That's What I Call Quality!, SiIvaGunner: Starter Kit & Essentials

Ripped by NBGMusic

youtube

When I wrote yesterday's post on Five Nights of Snop Dog, I made a bit of an error in my research. See, though "Five Nights of Snop Dog" was an actual request received, it was actually fellow ripper NBGMusic who got it on his SoundCloud, not Chaze the Chat as I'd claimed. Well, as fate would have it, NBGMusic just so happens to be responsible one of the most well-known rips on the SiIvaGunner channel - and not only is it also tied to Snop Dog himself, its also tied to the glorious age of Montage Parody videos. And with Season 8 having finished an MLG event of its own just yesterday, it's as if the stars all aligned - I can think of no better time to cover we are number one but with outdated memes over it.

Now, the aforementioned magnificent 4/20 event was far bigger than usual for the channel, casting the net to not just cover weed-smoking jokes, but to cover the age of internet shitposting where it was at its most notorious - Montage Parodies. The years from 2012 to 2016 were absolutely FILLED with these, in a way that feels almost lost on the current internet generation, as very few seem to actually remember it fondly. Because like, it was all a bit stupid, wasn't it? Rage comics and impact font memes are remembered nostalgically, YouTube Poops are cherished to this day and continue to see prevalence both in general and on SiIvaGunner - we wouldn't be getting rips like Mr. 2.718281828459045235360287471352662497757247093699959574966967627724076630353547594571382178525166427427466391932003059921817413596629043572900334295260595630738132328627943490763233829880753195251019011573834187930702154089149934884167509244761460668082264800168477411853742345442 or Crompton Racing if there weren't people still enthusiastic for them. Montage Parodies were comparatively really short lived, and even back in 2016 SiIvaGunner channel itself didn't really touch them. Sure, we got rips with Smoke Weed Everyday as the joke from time to time, like with Ganja Man 9: Hash Blunt Hash (Shorty's Stage), but I think most people already saw the signs that MLG videos weren't really sticking around. Or at least, that's what *I* thought back in the day - evidently, the whole thing had just a little bit more juice left in it.

Because at the tail end of the channel's life, in September 2016, we received we are number one but with outdated memes over it. Sure, it wasn't the first We Are Number One rip on the channel, but it might as well have been - it landed right as the meme was taking off, and garnered views by the thousands in absolutely record time. For a decent while, it even was THE most viewed rip on the channel - and, funny enough, a 2017 Mel (that's me!) left a comment on the video befuddled over just how popular this MLG video was. Because, like, it's right there in the title - it's we are number one but with outdated memes over it, I thought we were all in agreement that Smoke Weed Everyday and "This is a certified hood classic" and Skrillex and all of that stuff wasn't funny anymore?

So then...why is it still so fucking good?

There's been a bit of a running joke with in the SiIvaGunner Discord (which you should join, by the way!) over how I actually hate this rip, or at least don't have positive feelings toward it. And I'll be honest - I hadn't really listened to it in a long time, and I think for a long time I was still a little bit fed up with MLG videos in general. I don't think they have any shot of becoming relevant again in the same way that YTPMV or rage comics do, ironic-or-not, but it was also kind of presumptuous to ascribe that same kind of obnoxiousness to we are number one but with outdated memes over it. Because sure, it's using outdated memes - but NBGMusic isn't using them in halfmeasures or with the intent to make the audio unlistenable. It's all playing to We Are Number One's melody and progression, which in of itself is honestly kind of novel these days - ever since we got the song's stems released in late 2016, most rips on the channel featuring the jokes have been full on arrangements with its instruments a la Chillin’ Like A Villain or We Are Number 4 (Golden). I love those rips as well, they're all incredibly fun takes on the song - but it's an entirely different flavor from how we are number one but with outdated memes over it goes about doing things.

Even though the title isn't lying, its definitely underselling the rip, it almost makes it sounds like a fucking MrMrMANGOHEAD video (Remember him? Shrek-face Mike Wazowski?). There's a lot of noise to be sure, but its all coordinated in really fun ways! I love the repeating "WHAT" samples playing as Robbie begins his lecturings in trickery, changing to samples shouting "HEY" in the next verse, ironically going against the lyrics' point of "not making a sound". And that's just what happens to the vocals - the main hook of the rip, of course, is how the iconic saxophone hook that plays inbetween the vocals is here matched with pitch-shifted Smoke Weed Everyday's, almost exactly like the aforementioned Ganja Man 9: Hash Blunt Hash (Shorty's Stage) - but its paired with sprinklings of memes tied to MLG parodies, like the legendary "MOM GET THE CAMERA", or of course bits and pieces from Skrillex music. I fucking love that in particular, actually: how traces of Skrillex's dubstep sound are heard in the rip from the very start, yet at 0:56 we're finally given full payoff with the iconic "YO SKRILL DROP IT HARD", leading to a full beat drop that somehow feels perfectly in tune with what We Are Number One is doing alongside it.

You know me - my favorite thing in rips is when they escalate, and though we are number one but with outdated memes over it stays within the same set of jokes throughout, its dedication to covering the *entire* We Are Number One with all of these memes means that it finds new ways to go about it for each segment. I may have been a bit frustrated back then, but in hindsight its easy to see just why this rip got as popular as it did, beyond just playing to the ongoing trend - its a pretty damn high-effort production for being part of a shitposting trend basically defined by being purposefully low-effort and obnoxious. In that sense, I suppose we are number one but with outdated memes over it is like a final hurrah for the age of Montage Parodies - right as we were all letting go of it, as the wild ride of 2016 was making everyone (most importantly YouTube itself) realize that the internet needed to be made a less toxic, less obnoxious place...we got one last jab at all the fun that these videos had to offer. And in turn, it wound up passing the torch to We Are Number One shitposting, beginning a new trend of channels spoofing existing meme music with their own edits and ideas, a trend you'll still see up and about today.

The internet all feels a lot more complicated today in its many corners - Twitter, Reddit, TikTok, YouTube, Discord and its Tenor GIFs, all sort of forming their own ideas of what is and isn't in vogue for shitposting anymore, all at each others' throats. For as obnoxious as Montage Parodies often were in hindsight...there's something so oddly nostalgic about how widespread they were - how EVERYONE deep in the online trenches seemed to just be enamored by these absolutely ridiculous videos. we are number one but with outdated memes over it brought people together over their stupidness for one last time, and for just a little while longer after that, We Are Number One did the same. And with yesterday's MLG day, with looking back on this rip in tow...I can't help but miss it all at least a little bit.

What are you thoughts on Apple TVs Foundation version?

Ah. I never wanted to talk about that, but I guess my thoughts on the subject are as worth putting down as any, so here goes.

Boring, dumb, cringeworthy, badly written by hacks.

Bad showrunner/writers, bad cast (one or two exceptions). Bad everything except the visuals. I couldn’t be bothered to continue past the second or third episode, where I Raych-quit from the sheer stupidity.

Not because it strayed from Asimov’s work (though it can hardly be called an adaptation when it so flagrantly disregards its source material). I can assess and enjoy adaptations on their own merits. The show is simply not entertaining—a cardinal sin for entertainment. Things happened one after another and I just didn’t care. I wanted to, but I didn’t.

It wasn’t even enjoyable in a greasy burger/guilty pleasure way (e.g. Whedon’s Firefly or early JJ Abrams like Fringe). I’ve gotten far more discerning with age/maturity but I do still watch dumb popcorn fare (including the I, Robot summer blockbuster). And this show wasn’t that for me. Because it was sold as more than that, in a world where shows like Andor exist.

Because it pretends to be smart when it clearly isn’t, when its incompetent writers have never written anything of value in their lives. Very stupid people are behind it: Goyer and Friedman. Showrunner and writer David Goyer is a talentless hack whose own writing/producing portfolio is riddled with trashy bottom-of-the-barrel superhero mediocrity (rated as low as 3/10, 4/10, 5/10 on IMDb, and the way ratings work is that there are false positives but no false negatives), who somehow weaseled his way into successful franchises where other writers did the heavy lifting. Its other writer Josh Friedman has nothing remotely decent under his belt, either. These cheap hacks have obviously never read or understood their source material beyond a perfunctory skim (and if you believe anything they spew, I've got a waterfront property in Oklahoma to sell you. Two words: publicity & marketing.) The proof is in the pudding—Goyer and Friedman lack the brains to handle the material, let alone deviate from it.

I didn’t finish the season because I don’t think it gets better. The core problems I noted aren't going anywhere, and plenty of sensible people with good taste have shared the issues they have with it, and much of that is in line with my own experience or expectations of quality.

Season 2 reeks of jumping the shark. I’ve seen the trailer and laughed at its ridiculousness. It was a flurry of “we have Star Wars at home” scenes and also for some bizarre reason there were dragons? Or something? They’re not even pretending to be Asimov’s story any more—which is probably better for everyone involved.

Change My View: I sometimes wonder if I ought to give it another go, though I don’t have Apple TV anymore which adds to the friction. If anybody mature (I'm a full decade past my meme years) with decent taste (more Oppenheimer than Barbie, more modernist than postmodern internet shitposter, more level-headed than rabid fanatical addict) wants to tell me how this show has some merit despite its flaws and is worth my time, please do. I’m all ears.

Criticism on writing + cast below 👇

Characters, dialogue, plot are badly written/designed.

They do stupid things for stupid reasons (mostly: the plot requires it). Reciting prime numbers beCaUsE mAtH. (Cube did it better.)

That early swimming pool sex scene—whereas it was plausible for the characters in Game of Thrones or the Expanse, here in the hands of dumb writers it’s a girl thirsting over a guy she just met because The Plot Requires It, so that this guy can randomly stab Seldon later in a truly idiotic turn.

Machiavellian characters like Salvor Hardin get downgraded into some basic military chad guarding the Ethereum logo, for some pathetically trite Chosen One storyline and a lame what’s-in-the-vault mystery with a hilariously awful payoff. (I laughed so hard when I found out what it was. That you-know-who was literally in the vault.)

The two decent cast members are surrounded by a pack of Z-rate bargain bin actors whose previous credits hover in the 2/10–5/10 range.

Lee Pace is recycling his Joe MacMillan from Halt and Catch Fire but with a chest-baring wardrobe, since he’s the designated eye candy. Jared Harris is phoning it in, also recycling the same role he’s cornered a niche on: whistleblower-guy-who-gets-ignored-then-dies, a la Chernobyl and The Terror.

Laura Birn is doing a passable job with what she’s given to work with, but, in an utterly inexplicable design choice, the poor woman must stand in an asinine arms-akimbo pose all the damned time because we need to remember iT’s a rObOt. Who can cry and have sex but not stand normally. Or something. (Humans did it better.)

Terrence Mann was a forgettable snooze-fest—so was Lou Llobell.

Leah Harvey and the rest I saw were laughably awful.

TENsion and Chills

So.... the servers are fucked at the moment, which is... not good. Folx getting folx banned (including the Community Manager), and the online has been shut down "for maintenance," and we can just cross fingers they come back up at all, let alone reasonably soon. i'm lucky i'm backlogged to the 25th, but i'd rather my last Archive episode not be 390 (the level is, to be fair and honest, kinda pants. Spoilers).

At least it gives me a little time for some administrata.

youtube

A bright and stickertastic homage to The Gardens, which (generally) manages to maintain a decent pace throughout the race. Like a lot of these kinds of levels, it felt like it would have been a lot more fun wiv friends, but i still managed to have a good time. Except for the spinny-grabby bits. Gods but do i ever suck at the spinny-grabbies.

youtube

We talked about this one on LittleBite-sizedPlanet episode 287, but the short version is it sucks? Just a troll level for the lulz? Tho', to its credit, it is a level; like, beginning, end, gameplay in the middle, some work to present an environment. So... i guess i mean a troll level in the sense that the creator is clearly capable of more, and just decided to shitpost? So... not a troll level, a shitpost level.

youtube

This is the level that inspired Tin_Boy551's Cardboard Castle a couple videos up, and even tho' it's not my favourite of five-ate-five's work, you can see the jump in quality over The Garden in 1 Hour. This one definitely would have been more fun wiv friends; there's just so much going on, and i can imagine players on different paths and getting into each other's way. i bet it was a hoot. There's also a fair amount of working in the secondary characters. We do run into levels from time to time that give you the chance to play as every character, but generally it's more of a frustrating toss-in.

youtube

Now this is some quality stuff. Some real inventive playing around wiv LBP1 mechanics, a fun well-realized theme, good puppet work, enjoyable gameplay. See, i told you five-ate-five could produce quality.

youtube

A big, chonky, proto-Adventure here. All the levels are pretty great, tho' the second is the one that initially caught my eye. It's funny, because i'd worked in a similar conceit for an enemy/obstacle in my abortive Archives level, but it's handled so much better here (the benefit of planning an entire level around the concept, instead of throwing it in as a one-off fairly late in planning... also that five-ate-five is just a better creator). Shame how over-bright it is, but that might just be a combination of lighting changes between LBP2 and 3 and my telly's contrast being a touch wonky.

It's interesting, but it feels like there was a period in LBP2 where you ran into a bunch of levels working in the meta of community creations, and directly, openly breaking the fourth wall to address player expectations the way we see in Huge Inspiration Stealing Lazors. It... kinda works? Like, as a bit of community history, seeing it and remembering "oh yeah, players demanding boss fights was totally a thing for a bit." But it also feels a bit like a "you had to be there" kinda deal, and that the creator wasn't confident enough in their ability to craft their own narrative. i feel like a good example is in Over There and Back Here Again by scuzzy1973 that we featured way back in LittleBite-sizedArchive 061. Like, it just sticks out like a sore thumb, and comes off a touch mean-spirited? Here it mostly kinda works, but i think a lot of that is that it manages to stick the landing pretty well. Also that bitchin' falling castle platforming bit after the fight.

youtube

i just loved this one. The environmental design just hits all of my good buttons, and you can see how it was a clear inspiration for how i presented the city in A Totally Reasonable Response. Gameplay stays pretty fast moving once you know the level layout, tho' the first time through i can see it being easy to get yourself stuck in a couple of places. Not, like, softlocking the level or anything like that, just not quite realizing where you're supposed to go next. Still, i had a lot of fun going through this one multiple times to get a really good run for the Archives, and that's not something i can say about a lot of levels.

youtube

These are both fine levels, tho' i feel like almost anything would have come off as a bit of a step down after a week of some of five-ate-five's best stuff.

corysix6 made these after a hiatus, and it's always nice to see a creator get their inspiration back. i wish i'd had the chance to take a look at some of their older work on stream to get a feel for how these meshed in, and if they were indicative of cory's style, or just a shaking off the rust exercise, 'cause they are a lil scanty. Even so, the gameplay is fun, and the presentation may be sparse, but it is clear, and clearly thought-out.

-----------------------------------------------

Right. That's another TENspot done and in the can. Depending on how Sumo reacts to this latest clownfoolery, we might only have three more of these before we put a bow on the whole endevour, and that has me feeling all sorts of ways.

i know one of my biggest complaints has been time, and the lack of it in my life; and i know one of the biggest timesinks aside from work-work is my video work. It might only be a couple of hours every day or every couple days, but those are still a couple hours out of a very short stock of usable ones. i don't know what i would do if i suddenly had those hours back, but it would be something.

But on the other hand, i do all this because it is, in fact, fulfilling. Seeing and sharing other creators' work, sometimes creators who may not have had any eyes on them aside from a friend or two; the recording and simple editing. The time i spent getting those title cards laid out just right. All the work that goes into the LittleBite-sizedPlanet reviews. Getting a video together and uploaded, and being able to say "i did that." It's never been about getting big on YouTube, or step-stoning into some career. It's just been a little thing i've done for myself that's helped me get through some really, really rough patches just by being a continuous process that has a tangible end... product isn't the word i want, but it colocates wiv end, you know? The fact that i've met a lot of good people through this, some of whom i now consider close and important friends, was an unexpected, but deeply, deeply appreciated cherry on top.

And that, after so many years, i've finally had a spark of wanting to create my own (non-video) stuff; i wasn't thinking that would happen at all. But i look at Craftworld by Rail and A Totally Reasonable Response, and i am a little proud of them. i'm glad, especially wiv Response and it being very much a loveletter to the other queer players in LBP, that they resonated wiv so many people.

So this server shutdown has me feeling some kinds of ways, let me tell you what. i've known for years that LBP (in the company-supported online sense) has been living on borrowed time, 15years is very long in the tooth for something like this. We still can't say that this is the straw that breaks the camel's back, but it's clear that Sumo and Sony don't put a particularly high stock in keeping the ship afloat, and the last time things were pushed sideways (thanks Jon, you fucking fuck) it cost us lbp.me and the PS3 servers. If corpo says "yup, we're done here," i'm not going to be shocked. But it is going to hurt a little. Like watching your meemaw who's being treated for latestage cancer get hit by a bus. You knew the end was in the post, but you weren't really prepared for it to be right now.

haven’t been on tumblr since at least 2015 so I’m not sure what the norms are here anymore but I guess I’ll introduce myself

- call me julzzz

- she or they is fine

- I play faust in guilty gear strive

- I also make decent-quality shitposts and graphics from time to time

- I’m mostly here to meet other strive/faust appreciators and maybe find some new training partners too

- here’s the button art from the Faust-themed fightstick I designed…I’m probably gonna make buttons in this style for other GG characters when the mood strikes

Man, I see so many people who doubt themselves on their writing skills and say they wouldn't be able to write a story they want to because they're not good enough at writing etc etc.

When I started writing Edge of Entropy, I didn't even know how to have a character speak after a paragraph of narration, or have characters speak to each other without using he said she said over and over.

When I started writing Edge of Entropy, my plot was extremely loose and everything I wrote became cringeworthy to me almost immediately after I wrote it. It was absolutely horrid quality writing, felt more like a shitpost than an actual story. I spent an entire year just world/plot/lore building trying to fix this.

My story follows absolutely no traditional plot or genre and I had to tediously come up with every twist and turn on my own. I got stuck in spots hundreds of times. Some plot points took me MONTHS to fully figure out.

While writing this story, I had to painstakingly teach myself how to write, how to properly use several tropes, how to properly pull off the tone I was trying to do, and most notably, how to do nearly everything I know about writing now.

And why am I saying all this? Because writing all of this and making it work was hard as hell. I felt like giving up hundreds of times while writing, got distracted by shiny new ideas, discouraged by constant errors. But I didn't give up, I forced myself to finish this book, I forced myself to write it because I wanted to. I didn't care how hard it'd be, I wanted this book to be done. And now, as far as I'm concerned, the writing bit is done. I have a whole 389 page chapter book under my belt, and all that's left to do now is some illustration and getting it published.

I'm close to publishing a book, and I started with a very messy, nonsensical mess of a plot that I hardly understood. I went from knowing next to nothing about writing and being at what's essentially grade 5 level writing, to having something readable and of decent quality I actually have confidence in.

If I can pull that off, you sure as hell can write whatever you're writing if you simply put time and effort into it and believe in yourself. Nothing is impossible if you're determined enough to see something through.

Gloomy nighttime Mina rant? You guessed it. I know these aren't really what people come to this blog for but: I drop them anyway.

I'll repost on sidenotes since that blog is intended for this kind of stuff.

I love to create. I've been mulling over a lot of my content push as of late because: I'm now seeing there's an audience interested in it—but I feel like I'm stuck in a rut without a place to go.

I still feel incredibly insecure about my art, writing, and even my poetry— despite the validation I get from people in my day to day life.

I write poetry to vent and stimulate, and while I can call myself a "Poet" on my resumé: I don't want to be a "poet".

As some of you may know, I'm writing a novel titled Onyx Feathers on Snow—and I use some of the sets from my OFOS universe in Crowley in Arkham—and characters and themes.

I never really wanted to dedicate as much time as I do to CIA: I always had the intention of using it to get comfortable writing dialogue exchange— but eventually it felt more like "Get it out. Quantity over quality."

Which is why there was a tonal shift back in October: so that I could bring back some semblance of "quality" to it.

Ironically, the way I write Jon? I absolutely despise— but I felt like he couldn't feel too much like a character that already existed in the universe I have: Luciel Bright. My criminologist/detective in my wip "Lady In White" the work that bore my first short-story back in 2019.

I'll probably end up reworking CIA to be more appealing to me: I was writing it during a horrible episode while I was overseas, and though I no longer have the time I had before, I still adore that someone reads CIA and people enjoy something I made.

I got overzealous when I realized I could have a following that is less interested in me and more interested in what I make.

Though this blog is mostly people interested in my shitposts and my Scarecrow simpage— I do like to know I don't have people following me because of something superficial.

It's just not for me.

I like that I can say something I think and have both validation and criticism.

I know that my followings absolutely do not overlap: and while I find that difficult to juggle— I can understand why.

The people who read my books aren't going to be interested in my livestreaming, and those that are—come join! I talk about my manuscripts all the time and you can hang out as I rant about my trial-and-error process and some of my concerns with major plot points or pondering the potential interpretations of my narrative.

Sometimes, I join the Jetwaves and we read standardized reading and give commentary on them.

I guess I did start this post regarding my insecurity on my internet persona, and whether or not I'll have to abandon it.

I don't want to— and I don't see myself doing that— but, you'll have to get used to these long bouts of be not posting much or— not much of interest.

I just have very little time; now that I've returned to my normal responsibilities and a full-time job.

I have to cut my work hours again for school— and while I love a lot of my daily job-- I'm woefully underpaid and my management is just disrespectful. (Quietly voicing my qualms with my corporate overlord—thank god nobody that works with me follows me)

I just have very little time to put towards what I want to do— that's to dedicate to my goal and– I hate to sound ignorantly romantic:

My dreams.

All I want out of life is to write a good book and be a decent author—but sometimes I think I'm not as passionate about writing as I should be.

I have no drive to write.

Sometimes, someone reminds me of the world I see in my mind’s eye and the sensations I feel walking through it. The look of the mountains looming overhead, the smell in the wind, the taste of the air, the feeling of the ground below, the bustling sound of the towns— I am taken with inspiration at the crunch of snow underfoot.

It's only then, when I'm forced to remember— that I want to write.

When someone is delighted by something I've written—or even cared to read it at all.

I want to write.

Yet, my father, who I trust much and appreciate now that I have him in my life: treats my dreams as he treated them before he read "Man of Glass"—like they were impossible and unrealistic.

I had to get published before my father realized it was a viable option for me.

I believe that to be my biggest qualm with him.

Sorry for going on for so long about this: I'll head to bed now. Thanks for reading, anyway.

hello rosie!! i'm the anon that used to bother you on retrospring when you were on twitter hehe (rich! yong, that one long drabble on blind ti & playboy emperor yong with many concubines)!!! i'm here to bother you even more~ i just wna tell you 2 things!! no.1: i luvr rebuild but i also want u to be healthy && happy!! i will alws wait for the next update~~ pls take ur time hehe! and no.2: i made a fic twt acct & have started to post vid edits & i'm writing now hehe hope to have my works up soon!!

nooooo! you're not a bother my precious meow meow! 1. thank you so much! your well wishes mean a lot. updating "rebuild" has been so, so tough. A) it's very difficult to write "quality" fics (by "quality" i mean putting in decent effort, i.e, not shitposting unedited stream of conscious.), and B) personally speaking, it's been incredibly taxing on my self-esteem feeling burdened by guilt about not updating a fic in a year. im unhappy writing, the readers are unhappy waiting, it's messed up. but i do see light at the end of the tunnel (for me at least LMAOOO can't speak for the readers meeeeep!!).

2.!!!!!!!!!!!!! THAT'S SO EXCITING!!!! im so happy to hear you took your first step! drop the @ babe!!! i'll try to keep up (even though im not really on twitter)
