time to necromance this thing once more
It's me again! The perpetual deadbeat, back from the grave!
I was gonna write out this long, boring treatise on where I've been and why I was gone--y'know, the typical maudlin end-of-the-year reflection shit--but fuck that noise. So here's the bullet points of where I was and what I’m coming back with. The “Cotton Eye Joe” of it all, if you will:
- The last job I mentioned here ended up being less than great. Paid alright but was really sketchy in the labor laws area and I spent the better part of a year physically exhausted because of it. - Next job was extremely bad in the "environment so toxic you end up spending at least one day a week crying at your desk" kind of way. So that was a fun six months. Tied to that... - ✨depression✨, coinciding with a full year's break from all social media. - Finally landed an amazing job at a place I love, got into a better place mentally, felt up to being social and creating again... then nipplegate and the porn ban happened (womp womp.) - A lot of my creative blogs got hit hard; subsequently said "fuck Tumblr" - Despite this, still pretty skittish about Twitter and bad about interacting with people on fandom account (mostly because of rise of aggro stan twitter, let's be real here.) - Threw myself way too hard into that workaholic life, which I’m still kind of weaning myself off of. - Also everything that happened in the past two years of hell lol
And that's it in a nutshell, more or less. TL;DR - it's been a time.
Anyway, the entire point of me resurrecting this is to say that I am back, albeit mostly on the fandom Twitter as well as AO3. I fell ass over teakettle into Ryu ga Gotoku/Yakuza fandom so that's the bulk of what I've been producing for the past couple of months. Also I wrote, like, damn near 50k of fic in about two+ months time so apparently the dam finally broke on the writer's block, haha. I still kind of flirt with JJBA on occasion although the fandom has become a real hell of a thing to navigate in the past four+ years. Oh, and Critical Role, but I really only do the occasional piece of fanart there. But if you're really hurting for my dumbass style of content, there's new stuff for you?
I can't promise I'll be all that active on here because, I'll be real, still kinda pissed at the way they've been running this place. But I will probably at least try to repost some of the goofy shit I've been putting out.
Also currently trying to figure out the best place to host spicy art since the smut blog basically got nuked. I know privatter and poipiku are pretty popular lately so those are the two top contenders thus far. I could also just go balls out and make a full NSFW Twitter but with the way Twitter has been slowly but surely trying to monetize the platform and make it more advertiser friendly, I'm guessing it's only a matter of time before we start seeing a crackdown on NSFW art there as well. That and I already have, like, four twitter accounts and I barely use two, so adding another one to the mix seems like a fool's errand. But if anyone has any input on that, lemme know!
