Nope, still not working yet! It's a long wait huh!
What can I even say, I guess Twitter really wasn't meant to last for that long. It's been actually nice to stray away from these well worn paths of social media. Gives me reason and incentive to look more into the IndieWeb scene and figuring out what is 'me'. It's been uh....interesting...?
What hurt me more than losing that 9K follwer account was the realisation that a lot of the friendships I formed were really just fickle approximations of what they should be, easily broken by hard days. "Fairweather friends"...I used to think that term is meanspirited but now I understand the sentiment. It's like, if you feel personally inconvenienced by me being who I am, is it worth it to agonise over maintaining such a relationship? I don't want to feel like I'm accountable for anyone other than myself. That my peers believe me and my words, respect my space, my worldviews. Something like that...
It's uncomfortable but important to have these conversations with yourself. Save yourself a world of pain.
In other news, I graduated! Masters in Animation Design... apparently I was one of their best students and I can't quite believe that but my ego does appreciate the sentiment. The struggle now is to decide 'what the hell will I do with my life?!' I think I need some longform projects to sink my teeth into, or atleast prop up as an excuse whenever I'm asked about my perpetual flight from marital responsibilities. I've started writing a good bit of Kuriko's and Nishiki's lore, but I need to get things organised first. What goes into a character bible, huh?
There's also this site...which to be honest I haven't touched this past month, but I'm planning to dive into. First with replacing the Song Recs site. I hate how clean it looks, what I wanted was more of a grunge vibe, but I'm just not good at this CSS thing quite yet. Its's okay, it'll be an eternal WIP until I get serious about this webpage thing.
PSSST! Look at these stamps!
Alright, see you! Hopefully sooner than next year!
None of the links work! It's a long WIP for me....
This is Katsu here! I finally went off the deep end huh?
Well, it's certainly better than doomscrolling...
Things I need to do:
This was a pain to figure out but I'm so happy with it. I really love the Windows 7 theme and skeumorphism and the general vibe of it all...
As for why I went this route: okay it's really silly but I just stumbled into the 'make your own website, fuck the social media' side of YouTube and it was like.....yeah I actually really missed the 2015 days huh...
Speaking of Twitter, I'm hoping that the difficulty of making a website itself makes it a barrier-of-entry, essentially gatepeeking the more annoying sorts? Maybe?
Anyway! See you!
