hey don't cry. on december 3, 1926, agatha christie went missing for eleven days and because the uk police didn't know what to do they recruited sir arthur conan doyle, creator of master detective sherlock holmes, but all he did was conduct a séance to try and contact her distressed spirit
We report at a time which might as well be the middle of the night to us. We had hoped that we might become a morning person in our lifetime, but this has yet to manifest in any way. Our expert, however, likes mornings enough for the both of us. Radiation fog is nothing to them.
I've got to look up every possible way to sew hidden, concealed and non-obvious pockets and other such storage caches in all of my clothing, and then have as many of those as I can fit in every item in my wardrobe. Trying to get as much hidden storage space on my person as possible. Carrying around a backpack's worth of shit without carrying a bag of any sort.
Getting bored while waiting for the bus and just casually pulling a goddamn sewing kit out of my sleeve to start doing needlework on my jeans, like hey hold on where the fuck did you just pull that shit from. Equipping shit from my secret inventory.

got my desk set up finally
anime will have a character named T. Girl who shows up and says "hello my name is T. Girl i was born a boy but i decided to live my life as a girl, i dress as a girl, i live as a girl, i fully identify as a girl, and and fully uncomfortable with people viewing me as a boy. Also every character in the show refers to me as a girl and use female pronouns on me". and anime fans will see this and say "no hes not actualy a trans girl hes just a femboy. im not transphobic btw"
sometimes im like. why does rotini move like that. like he's so slow and aimless and will just stop for nothing at minutes at a time
and then i get a headache and im like ohhhhh. yeah man. me too
Are you in any of the severe outlook areas today?
Yes
No
Not US
The degree to which modern fans deliberately project their personal psychological issues onto fictional characters is alarming.
You are expected to "relate" to some characters and stories. Yes. That is not the same thing I keep witnessing, where people will decide a given character is literally everything they are the very instant they have anything in common, or an antagonist is exactly like a real person who hurt them, and emotionally invest SO much into this that they can feel actually betrayed when the events deviate from exactly the catharsis they hoped for.
This seems so normalized by some people, I suspect they assume by default that this is basically what fiction is "for" and it never even crossed their minds that you're supposed to enjoy most stories as an outside observer rather than as some sort of guided roleplay session.
This is why creators get harassed and abused more than ever by entitled fandoms.
No, it's not normal, you are not supposed to think of it that way, fictional characters are separate beings from you.

This website features:
Mobile-friendly layout
Brightly-coloured graphics
Chromatic Aberration
Queerness and Self-indulgence
Mature Language and Themes
Autoplaying music
Tacky decorative gifs
Dubious coding practices

It can't not point out how polished Ne0nBandit Street is. This site has an amazing aesthetic and design. It was made by an amazing artist, after all!
As for how to describe the website, I think it's best to let Jay themself explain it:
A portfolio/personal website is exactly how I would put it as well. Jay posts their art on Tumblr, but viewing it on Ne0nbandit Street is a way more immersive and fun experience, in my opinion.
They're an amazing pixel artist, among things. The main thing they draw are their Deltarune OCs, from their Deltacable chapter 3 AU.
Deltacable gets its own section on this website, and it's equally fun:
There's a lot that I could showcase about this AU, but you're better off exploring the site yourself. I merely want to highlight my favorite page in the cable section, The Backstage:
This is a fully interactable, Deltarune-style shop!! You can talk to Host and Mike here, and learn a bit about their lore. It's sooo cool and creative. I keep coming back to this page, with how well it emulates the look and mechanics of Deltarune. I mean, look at those shop sprites! They're spectacular!
Buuut, lets return to Ne0nbandit Street again. You can draw on this site!
Any drawings you submit show up in the gallery!
The site also has a guestbook, but not only that! There's a chatbox as well:
It's great that there's so many methods of leaving messages and doing interactive things on here.
There is... so much more that I could showcase, but I'll leave it at that. If you want to see everything that ne0nbandit.art has to offer, check it out yourself! I promise it's worth it.
