screams of rage

seems like I'm just as incapable of sticking to 30 second gestures as I always was

[rofell-art]

the immediate deterioration of willpower in one page from 30 sec gesture -> pause for just a minute -> okay maybe 2 minutes -> listen i gotta retry this one just a little bit longer-

[rofell-art]

incoherent screeching

plus several other pages of 60 sec gestures that will never see the light of day. but. progress
