really hate how the internet has become.

especially tumblr.

and how it being bought out by yahoo made it even fucking worse because they were like, "oh we're anti porn!" and then tumblr got infested with fucking porn bots with no nsfw warnings on the photos of said blogs.

talk about a walking contradiction.

i'm purposefully leaving out how we're living in a culture of shock-jocks, rage bait and cruelty on the internet because that is a whole different kettle of fish that has been extremely damaging.

idk but i feel like vash would be one of those people that would listen to tool

uhhh okay went to deftones on sunday here in melbourne and it was so fucking good???

already raring to go to the next concert.... waiting for system of a down to finally release dates for australia... have my fingers crossed that they will be here early 2027.

Time heals all wounds, but even almost 8 months on, I still find myself hurting.

[ayyydra]

big sigh

it's definitely for the better that I keep away from social media and only consume it in short bursts lest I become somewhat chronically online again. I'd like to be that random person someday that just posts a bunch of art and then leaves for 6 months only to post more art again.

I've been drawing almost every day, just anything that comes to my mind. And I am finding that the more time I spent away from social media, the more time I have to just... be and live in the present and not worry about really silly and trivial things about whether anyone likes what I write/draw or the characters I make, or the OC/Canon ship that I have. I can just invest time in just. Making it be.

Writing has been left on the back burner since Jan/Feb this year, and I'm sure it will come back to me at some stage. There's a lot I want to do there too.

I'm glad I have these hobbies, but having a full-time job with different shift times each day makes things difficult. On top with have after work related things.

edit: I'd also like to reach out and meet new people in the online/in fandom space/s too, but my unfortunately shit track record is holding me back for the time being.

god

I need to grow up and stop letting others ruin shit for me, it's a fucking joke at this point.

I'm fine, it's just a realisation I've been dwelling on for a little while.

thinking more about this resident evil oc and her name... even though I am a Greek-Australian, and would just go by her full name (like I did with my Trigun O.C as well), Aglaia Kazantzidis, I've kinda gone down the route where some Greek-Aussies and Greek-Americans, shortened or anglicised their names upon migrating to Australia or the USA respectively.

So, she's known as Aggie Kazan (her name is a shout out to those who changed their names). Jill is probably one of the few people that can pronounce her birth name correctly (along with a few others, but I am yet to determine that) and would actually call her Aglaia.

This explains so, so much.

To a small degree, I sympathize with the team in that they attempted the impossible task of adapting Maximum in 12 episodes, but honestly, what an absolute mess it turned out to be.

The fact that the screenplay took over a year should have been sign enough. I know I've said this already, but the studio really should have cut their loses, forget about Maximum, and try to create their own story. At least then there was the possibility that they could have created something at least a little interesting. Instead we got the harrowing experience of watching them gut Maximum by taking out everything that made it great, and give us a shallow play by play of basic plot elements. Not to mention the nonsensical changes they made, very few of which were actually good (and many arguably came at the expense of the depth of the characters).

Also. learning that they let Wolfwood live (not because it was a creative decision to better fit the softer 'everyone has a happy ending' themes of their show) but simply because they couldn't fit in Vash's grief arc made me laugh so damn hard. I knew it. Like seriously, what more hints did the team need that this wasn't going to work?
