A) Either use my commission form

B) Or just DM me (join my Discord) (Or in stream chat, I stream Mon/Wed/Fri)
Anyone else notice that video games are putting a lot of alliteration into things all the sudden?
I first noticed in World of Warcraft, how many things in the new crafting system were called like, "Pristine Production," "Wild Wonders," "Creative Crafts," "Exciting Enchantments," "Marvelous Machines"
Then in Path of Exile, all the league challenges were called things like "Masterful Missions," "Eccentric Elders," "Grinding Gear Goals"
And now I'm noticing it in Fortnite with "Toy Trooper" and "Plastic Patroller"
Every time I see it, it just comes across as infantile
Like especially in Path of Exile, like I'm playing a game where there's mentions of rape and there's statues with wangs and vaginas hanging down and a boss that's a fat lady that lactates black ooze, and the game's like "Beautiful Bountiful Breaches! :D <fairy sparkles>"
One time I tried to take the ectom from a hysterectomy.
I managed to do it somehow, and the rest is hystery.
And while we're here what the fuck is with unsalted saltine crackers
Who the fuck would do that
Salt is literally right there in the name
I'mma kick your ass
I'll turn you into a shortstack o' mancakes
Genuine "What the fuck is going on" from me here
We have a million problems with "modern versions" of shit, that's not what I'm gonna talk about, we could go on for years about things like whatever the fuck is going on with The Odyssey or shit like Velma or Saints Row or Dragon Age Veilguard, I'm gonna just ignore all that for the sake of this post.
I want to focus on one recurring thing I've noticed in these modern adaptations of beloved classics.
Why are they phasing out catch phrases?
Okay hear me out. Hear me out.
In Fantastic Four: First Steps, they decided to make it an alternate universe and leaned really heavily into the campy goofiness factor of the 80s retro comic books n shit, right? We got Herbie, we got Galactis being a big goofy giant dude, they threw out all the gritty realistic shit and let it just be dorky campy superheroes.
And then: Made The Thing spend the entire movie being grumpy about the phrase "It's Clobberin' Time" and getting upset any time someone wants him to say it. This whole "Oh that's just in the cartoons I don't actually say that."
Example 2: Velma in "Scoob!"
There's a point where Fred goes "Jinkies!" and Velma glares at him and he goes "What? Somebody had to say it!"
Example 3: Batman doesn't say "I'm Batman" anymore.
Example 4: In the Power Rangers movie that everyone liked, nobody says "It's morphin' time" at any point.
But in the few pieces of media where they DO say their catch phrases? EVERYONE FUCKING LOVES IT AND CHEERS.
>Velma saying "Jinkies!" as a Fortnite emote, everyone loves it >The Thing yelling "IT'S CLOBBERIN' TIIIIME!" in Marvel Rivals, everyone loves it >Batman saying "I'm Batman!" in Lego Movie and that new Lego Batman game, everyone loves it >The Fortnite Emote of "IT'S MORPHIN' TIME!" everyone loves it >He-Man yelling "By the power of Grayskull! IIIII HAAAVE THE POWEEEEEEER!" in the new movie, everyone loves it
So what is fucking with this trend?
Why do we keep seeing modern writers trying to "Eww, catchphrases? That's like, soooo yesterday! Let's make the character actively hate their own catch phrase and avoid saying it on purpose!" our beloved catchphrases we grew up with???
It just feels so much like a parent taking away your bike and saying "You're too old for bikes!" as though adults don't ride bikes????
Y'ever notice how many people make these "Positive Energy" posts, videos, memes, etc. that are just like
"When you're going to think a bad thought, think a good thought instead! :DDDDD"
I have always hated those vehemently and now I get why
Because they have the literal exact same energy as "Have you tried not being depressed?"
And now that I've gotten through my depression, cured my anxiety, and haven't been suicidal in like 15 years, it's high time I tell all y'all the truth.
That shit doesn't fucking work.
BELIEVE IT OR NOT: A picture of Luz from Owl House saying "You can do it! Believe in yourself!" will not cure your depression. In fact, it won't do anything.
The reason for your depression is because you don't want to accept reality, and reality is that the world is hard.
You need to get tougher. You need to actually walk out and face what's scaring you, let it hurt you, and learn from the pain.
You need to stop putting bandaids on your gaping emotional wounds and actually go look into how to suture that shit, and I don't care if you think needles are scary you need to toughen the fuck up and tend to your fucking wounds, get some new wounds, and tend to those.
Take it from me, I used to get under my desk and cry with a stuffed sheep when I was in my 20s.
Now I'm in my 30s and know what's under my desk? Magnetic resistance pedals because I've lost 100lbs in the last two years and I'm working hard to stop being a big fat baby.
I've gotten my debt down from 10k to 1k, I've put monumental amounts of work into projects I put off for years, I've learned 3D, music, animation, audio editing, I'm working on my own game, I'm dieting, exercising, hell I even guest starred on one of the biggest podcasts on earth a few weeks ago and I'm waiting for that episode to air.
Know how I did it? I stopped being a PUSSY. I stopped sitting around and crying and watching cartoons where the magical girls lost in an enchanted world overcome their problems so I can cry my eyes out and go "If you can do it, so can I!" because that literally did nothing, I was still crying, I was still depressed.
I manned the fuck up, stopped living in a fantasy, took control of my life and started taking the hits to the face so I could bruise up, get some cool battle scars and be a fucking man for a change.
So stop sitting around and letting cartoon characters cheer you up in the moment. Go fucking live life. Make mistakes. Learn from those mistakes. Stop complaining. Stop blaming everyone else. Stop using "But it's hard" or "But some evil person made it too hard" as an excuse to be LAZY.
"But Jay my disability-" I'm morbidly obese and I have rheumatoid arthritis and I did all the shit I mentioned above THIS YEAR, at THIRTY SEVEN YEARS OLD. Don't fucking gimmie that disability shit.
Thanks to playing Fortnite, I now have a name to put to my least favorite type of music on the literal planet!
Playboi Carti
There we go. That's the worst music I've ever heard in my life.
That's the one.
Thank you Fortnite for telling me a name I could easily say to explain the absolute most infuriatingly shitty sound you can possibly hear that makes me want to tear an entire generation of losers who gave that shit clicks and made that talentless piece of shit rich to shreds.
Social media made us go from "Haha look at that cute lil guy sitting on a record player teehee he spin"
To a 17 paragraph explanation that the lil guy is not being harmed and that the poster knows this because he did a private independent journalistic investigation over the course of multiple months in order to find the original creator of the gif and ask them if the lil guy was harmed, also to double check they consulted 100 different lil guy experts to ensure the lil guy was not hurt. They did all of this so that people looking at the gif of the lil guy spinning would not have a panic attack over their worry that the lil guy was hurt.
To a 35 paragraph response to the above 17 paragraphs calling that person a liar and explaining their own lil guy expertise and how they are 100% certain that the lil guy was traumatized by his spin on the record player and that everyone sharing the post should be ashamed, arrested or killed depending on the mental health state of the person posting these 35 paragraphs.
250 Pandas!
Happy 250th Birthday, A-bear-ica!
Modern Corporations
"Well, our stocks are down, our company is crumbling, we've fired 80% of our staff out of desperation to stay afloat, we're on the verge of bankruptcy and we're hated by pretty much every person on earth. Whaddo we do now?"
"Maybe we should stop catering to the incredibly violent 0.04% of the population who is extremely anti-capitalist (and therefore won't support us) and maybe try to make something that the remaining 99.96% would be interested in like we did for the last 30 years which is why people loved us and made us billionaires to begin with?"
"NO. FUCK THEM. You're FIRED!!! Everyone else, it's time for more tantric sex."
Take a moment to consider this.
Cup-and-ball scammers hire 1 or 2 of their friends to pretend to be tourists who win the game and get money.
These 1 or 2 "winners" convince the entire crowd of real tourists that the cup-and-ball game is winnable and they could easily get some money.
Think about that. Just think about that for a second.
If it only takes 1 or 2 people going "Wow, this is legit!" to get people believing it, consider how many things you believe right now because you saw a large number of social media users parroting it.
Don't fall for snake oil.
You've been lied to and you fell for it.
And you fucking know it.
But now you're surrounded by dangerous people who will excommunicate you and destroy your life if you speak out against them, and you've been convinced "the other side is worse," so even though you're completely aware you're in a secular cult-mentality mafia society, you're afraid of the monsters they claim are on the other side if you dare leave them.
And so when your one friend comes along and tries to help you, you look at your group of psychopathic violent activist nutjobs you've befriended and disowned your entire family for, and then look at this one singular friend who cares about you, and you weigh how easy it would be to disown that one friend and stay where you are, but how difficult it would be to cut ties with the group of grifters you already befriended who will socially murder you if you say something they don't like.
I got out, you can too.
Go ahead and assume who I'm talking about. You'll almost certainly be incorrect. But if you know my history and who I catered to for the last 15 fucking years who still canceled me and attacked me and still hate me just because I occasionally asked them to calm down and stop being so hateful, you'd know exactly who the fuck I'm talking about.
Be safe.
Today was one of those days where you hit the like 90% threshold of every single basic emotion in a single day.
Anger, sadness, joy, fear, the fire nation
I ended on joy, thankfully, but man
If today was a rollercoaster it just took me to a different country
People: "I think people should be honest about when they use AI and be up front with their customers."
Me: "I agree, and I'll be honest if/when I do. Hey everyone I was dicking around with Grok in my free time and I made a cute lil animation."
Those Same People: "YOU USED AI!? FUCK YOU *unfollows*"
I get an actual sense of glee and wicked satisfaction every single time I see an artist who disappeared to Bluesky for like 2 years suddenly spamming "MY COMMISSIONS ARE OPEN" on all the sites they abandoned, begging for commissions, and complaining about how nobody commissions them anymore.
Can't possibly be because you ditched your 240k followers on Twitter in favor of 1500 anti-capitalist scumbag rat piece of shit followers on Bluesky who contribute literally nothing and only take.
No it's definitely not that.
Crawl back to your pathetic hole and continue to suffer for your oh-so-righteous cause you disgusting worms.
If you care more about what side you're on and whether you're saying the "correct things" and wishing death upon the "correct people" than you do about creating content for your followers who followed you and supported you for that content, you can burn in hell and I hope you're homeless soon.
You fucking people are a disease and it's so fucking enjoyable watching you fester and suffer for your pathetic virtue-signaling self righteous egotistical narcissistic choices.
Nothing in life is 100%, but a fucking lot of things are 99%.
