You ever have somebody start talking to you and you can't really be sure if they have ulterior motives or are just trying to be friendly so you don't know when to rudely interject that you need to remind them that you are in a long-standing relationship especially because you've never made it a secret that you are already in a long-standing relationship?
I had posted late last night about how I really hate that a bunch of the old internet that my friends and I used to create worlds on now longer exists. Geocities, Tripod, and Angelfire, and even Homestead, those places were our internet homes. I also mentioned that as teenagers, we wanted to become creators. We wanted to be story tellers and artists. We wanted to have fun, but because you grow up and you make mistakes, the thing we wanted to create never actually came into existence.
In the comments of that last post, somebody said I could just rebuild a website I wanted in Neocities. And that's definitely true. It's just a shame that our history from 25-ish years ago has largely evaporated. These days, I'm happy with my current web presence. I built marzgurl.com on Ghost, and I really like the way it works over there. I host some work portfolios on carrd.co, and that serves me just fine for the time being.
But if I'm talking about reviving an old project from between teenage friends from 25 years ago, Neocities actually isn't a terrible place to hold down some content. If I'm thinking about it, this project wouldn't just be reviving an old idea. I'd want it to really live and breathe quite a bit in the time we first conceived it. I wanna send it out as a love letter to those kids who are all grown up and middle-aged now, and I want it to be a place where the thing that could have existed in another universe all those years ago really can exist here in this universe, too, and it just got here late.
So thanks for that. I do think I'll mess around with Neocities, and see if I can't tie a Neocities website into a greater project idea later. Maybe something someday can finally actually come of this. I hope I can make some time soon. I've been so overwhelmed with work as of late that I've barely had time to sleep, let alone create. But maybe I can finally start to make some things happen soon.
Missing blogging. And missing something else, too.
Checking back in over here because I miss older internet that at least kinda sorta functions the way it was intended. I miss some old friends that I don't really know how to reach anywhere other than tumblr.
Recently went checking on old websites that my friends and I made while in high school. We're Very Old People™ so our old websites were on REALLY old free hosting pages, like Geocities, Tripod, and Angelfire. All of those pages are gone now. And as it turns out, my old Angelfire page that I updated actually relatively regularly for about four years through high school only just recently poofed, as Angelfire disappeared not all that long ago in the grand scheme of things. I feel really dumb. I wish I had archived it. And even then that might not have helped because Angelfire requested all their pages be removed from archive.org.
The only good news is that a bunch of people who REALLY, REALLY, REALLY hate me archived it on other archive sites while attempting to document me only to mock me. Truth be told, in the end, they did me a service. Because my website when I was, oh, 16 years old-ish in the early 2000s was extraordinarily harmless. And it's worth keeping a history of those things.
I feel blue sometimes. I think about my friends from that period of time. I think about big plans we made, about how we were going to make a web comic together, how I was going to be one of the two main writers on it, and another friend was going to be the artist. But we were dumb kids and did dumb kid things. I remember I unintentionally hurt the artist friend's feelings. I started hanging out with theater kids after I joined theater, and I made her feel like I was embarrassed to be around my old friends. And then our dream of making a goofy sci-fi/fantasy web comic based on silly turn-based RPG tropes never came into existence.
Actually, it briefly did come into existence, through only the artist, who then started working on the idea solo. It really was nothing like what our group effort was supposed to be. And in the end, it sadly didn't get very far anyway. And I feel like a lot of things were not going so well for her at the time. And I hated that I was just one cog in that wheel. I hated that I let her down in quite a lot of ways. Even over 20 years later, I hang onto some of those early concepts for what we wanted to turn that web comic into, and I get really sad that they don't exist.
And so, every so often, I think about writing that old 20-plus-year-old idea. Is it a book? Is it my own web comic? I'm not really sure. But I think about what it was going to be when we were teenagers, and then I think about how I can implement those ideas into some better formed ones now that I'm an adult. And I want to draw those ideas, but... I'm not a particularly good artist. Once in a blue moon, I can knock out something halfway competent, or fun, or funny. But let's be real. That artist friend of mine, even when she was a teenager and before she went off to art school after high school, she was better back then than I am even right now. I think if I draw a comic, I will draw it out of necessity, not because I think I was ever anywhere close to as good as she was. Not by a million miles.
That third friend who was also part of the group and on the project, she and I still talk occasionally. We still follow each other on Bluesky. We still talk about some familiar things. A lot of things about her are really still familiar and the same. I don't know if my old friends think of me that way, that I'm still the same old me from over 20 years ago. But this other friend, I think she's still REALLY similar to what she was like all that time ago.
But that old artist friend, I'm less sure about. She and I have also once in a blue moon talked to each other, crossed paths in real life again at one point. I think she mostly decided that all the stuff in high school was long gone and not to be dwelled on. But it's funny, I dwell on it a lot. All these years later and I feel bad about it a lot, all the time. I guess it's because I am always longing for the project that we talked about coming into existence that never ended up happening. I really thought it could have been fun and special. And maybe now at our age it would be really juvenile and stupid. Yet despite that, I yearn to see the branch in the universe in which that creation among three nerdy teenage girls was allowed to live, and I hate that I'm in the universe where it doesn't. Even if it had ended up weird and cringy, I just wish it had lived. I just wish it had existed.
So I keep thinking of a version of the story where I can let it live and exist, and give those teenage girls from the early 2000s something that turned out to be real. I so badly want to write that. Even if it's bad, even if it sucks, even if the art is shit, I want it to exist. I feel like I owe it to those kids from back then to make it real.
It will probably have to be a little bit different than it was back then. The names will have to be a little different. The designs will have to be a little different. But still. I think somehow, with enough time--somehow, my old friends, who don't even know that I think about this so, so often--I want to make the world we imagined live and breathe.
City Hunter by Tsukasa Hōjō
Someday some psycho ICE agent is going to break into your house and murder you and your entire family just for being black and instead of running away or trying to fight you're just gonna stand there wagging your finger and scolding them like they were a four-year-old and your life will fucking END all because you're a fucking coward who was raised to be a pansy-ass pussy in the face of unprecedented fascism. This country is a fucking shithole that is gleefully walking to its own demise and only by rising up and brutally murdering all the Nazis will we EVER come anywhere close to living the life we deserve. Maybe if you'd stop sniffing your own farts for five fucking seconds and stopped treating the deaths of thousands of innocents like a fucking Steven Universe cartoon we and everyone in Gaza could be living in the perfect fucking utopia but instead we live in a goddamn dystopia beyond repair. FUCK YOU.
P.S. Doug would absolutely kick those ICE agents' asses.
We're on something like the fifth or sixth alt from this dude fedposting at me, thinking I know anything about Steven Universe (I don't). I don't care what Doug does, and, uh, my family and I aren't black?
This is the last time I acknowledge this. As usual, block guys like this, and stop fucking fedposting. Ask box will now be closing.
Charlie Kirk deserved to die just like every Nazi who ever lived deserves to die and anybody who says otherwise is a hypocrite and a coward.
This is the second alt from this guy targeting me and fedposting, plus about four alts he's made like this at me on Bluesky. Absolutely obsessed.
Remember: ALWAYS block people fedposting.
Fascists deserve to be murdered in cold blood and you're a fucking coward for believing otherwise.
This person has made no less than three Bluesky alts to harass me over things I never actually said or did, started comparing female cartoon creators to Netanyahu, started comparing me to those other women even though I have never spoken to them nor have I consumed their material, and now here he is chasing me over to Tumblr to scream at me some more. Before getting various accounts banned, they were full of him directly threatening to murder people, like, A LOT, and screaming at anybody he saw not actively murdering his enemies for him and accusing them of doing nothing in the face of fascism (regardless of whether or not the people he's screaming at have actively and tangibly done other things in their community, myself included). And although I empathize with the idea of fighting fascism and billionaires and whatnot, having made friends with a plethora of lawyers in recent years has taught me "Don't post actionable shit/don't post your crimes". This guy has absolutely not learned that in the slightest, and I'm sure will very likely come back again, either here (where I only check once every several months), or on some other social media platform. I strongly encourage you to block this guy, along with anybody else who might show up in your replies or inbox saying unhinged shit like this. Get bent, man.
So Marzgurl put out an excellent 11 hour video on anime voice actor and notorious sex pest Vic Mignogna.
I've been live-posting my reactions to it as I watch it in hour chunks to a thread on Bluesky for anyone curious about my thoughts.
Well god damn it. I know what I'm watching in 2-3 hour sections over the course of next week... [contains quote post or other embedded cont
Finally finished the video and the thread.
If you haven't watched this yet, please do. It's important.
Gods, this man is a fucking creep. I can tell you from first-hand experience.
Should clarify, qhen I say "I knew her" I mean we were irl friends for a short time before she dissappeared. If you need proof im not lying, here's some pics i took of her dogs.
They were very sweet dogs
Thank you, and don't worry, I did suspect when you mentioned the dogs that you very likely meant IRL. Though it's certainly concerning to think that she not only disappeared from the Internet, but that people who have known her in meatspace also haven't heard from her in a long time. I'm very sorry to hear this. I don't necessarily need to know where she is or what she's doing, but it would put my heart at ease if I just knew she was all right, as I'm sure you must also feel.
Yeah no she dissappeared irl too;;; tho from your post history looks like she's in texas now? Seems like she's alive, at least. That puts me at ease slightly
She just called in her police report to Texas, is all. She flew out to Dallas to see Vic there a few times before that relationship imploded. The last videos I saw her make still kinda appeared to be in her California house, as far as I could tell, but I dunno.

Is farah in like witness protection or something? I knew her, and she just up and Vanished one day, and now I'm finding this blog. Is she ok? Are her dogs ok?
I have no idea! I touched on all this information in a recent video I released, too (linking here, for anyone who's curious). There is a portion of the video near the end that is specifically about Farah that kinda covers all this, if you wanna just skip straight to that (I get it, the video is not in any way a quick breeze).
But the end result is the same. Every piece of social media I've been aware of that she owns just stopped updating by about November 2023, including various alts under different names across all platforms. I am hoping for her sake that she just decided this whole thing was absurd and too much for her and that she just chose of her own volition to unplug from the internet and that it's all by her own choice, but I genuinely have no idea.
It's my 14 year anniversary on Tumblr 🥳
There was a lull in the porn bot follows, but it seems they're back lately. Welcome back, bots. Welcome back.
For those following me because of the Vic-Mignogna-potentially-tried-to-have-me-murdered longpost (if you're new here, you're definitely gonna wanna click that link and read, read, read), here's an important update that especially applies to anybody who had a harassing experience with Vic (of whom I saw MANY telling stories that they had in the notes of the longpost).
Farah has been hyping up the fact that she has filed a police report about the incident with the Irving PD (Texas). It's real, by the way, and while they give very minimal information, it's possible to locate the report to prove that it's real.
Interestingly enough, apparently the reporting officer you see here in this report may not be the officer working the case anymore, as Farah seems to say in other posts online that Vic's sycophant chud followers kept calling her desk and harassing her to the point where she asked to be removed from the case, so now another officer has been assigned to this. As if harassing the cops is a smart way to make this all go away.
I am hesitant to get anybody too excited, but Farah seems very positive that after all this time, the police want to get things done. From the video and other social media posts, the police want to talk to anybody with more info, they've talked to people at Funimation who you may remember held their own internal investigations on Vic in 2019, and MAYBE the FBI is involved because there's a lot of dirt on this guy? Look, I wanna be realistic here. I'm just repeating what she's saying. I don't know how true any of that is. But if there's any truth in it, I want to help.
She mentions it in the above video, but also makes mention in a much shorter and more pointed TikTok video (click link to see yourself) that if you were ever victimized by Vic in any way that came across as harassing or could be construed as assault, no matter how long ago it was, Irving PD wants to know about it. You'll have to file a police report with your own local PD (or the area where it happened?) and tell them to tell Irving PD. Give them case number 23-17071. If they're really going to build a case and seriously consider doing something about him, then the least I can do is tell you about this.
And believe me, I get it. There are a MILLION reasons why a victim would not report their assault or their harasser. I've already seen the victim blaming for the last four and a half years. "Why didn't any of these people file police reports rather than just posting about it online?" Because it's none of your fucking business. But aside from that, it's terrifying, you don't know how it will affect your work, if your harasser will retaliate, if they will send their flying monkeys after you, or any number of other reasons (not the LEAST of which might be ACAB).
That having been said, I figured the best thing I could do after posting that whole story would be to share this update. And again, I don't know how far along this really has progressed. But there IS a police report that we can prove really exists. To that extent, this is not a lie. The police really, truly are involved.
If you were ever victimized, and if--ONLY IF--you feel confident enough and safe enough to help build a report against Vic, it sounds like now is the time to do it. Farah is also trying to be as supportive as she can, I know. Talk to me about it if you want. Maybe we can figure out safe ways to make this happen. BUT DON'T FEEL OBLIGATED IF YOU DO NOT FEEL SAFE DOING SO! At no point are you required to put yourself in danger. Just, if you want to, if you feel safe, if you are ready, this looks like the route they're trying to build to actually finally do something about this guy.
Just so that you guys are aware. That's all.
You just don’t when to keep your mouth shut about Vic do ya Marzy?
So you guys know, Famardy is somebody who has been chasing me around every single social media platform I've ever had and has harassed me on all of them for years. His family--specifically his siblings--have been notified that he does this, but it doesn't stop. I have blocked him on every platform, blocked every alt he makes, and he keeps coming. He is more than happy to use the Vic situation to keep harassing women. So, here he is again, and he's getting blocked again, and I suggest you all do the same.
You don't have to screenshot this bit but it was the ad for 2008 I was referring to. I didn't realize he did '09 too. So it was filmed in 2007 I think either right before or shortly after Ike in Spring, TX. I was in middle school so it's a bit fuzzy now on the exact timing.
Okay, thanks for that. I'll make a separate update to correct. I appreciate the correction, I also did not realize he'd produced commercials for previous years.
