i realized people make introduction posts so here we go i wanna summon the other chaotic neurodivergent trans gremlin bois who like the same shit as me i know you're out there and i will find you.
SO.
my name is Charlie and my artist personas name is Chalk so that can be used as a nickname for me. my pronouns are he/they and i'm a 20 year old artist from Sweden studying animation. I'm a transmasc and feel like the label boyflux describes my gender the best. i'm an adhd autistic who obsesses over the most obscure things and then tries to find people on tumblr who also obsess over them to feel better about it.
(still waiting for an autism diagnosis :') but my like 10 autistic friends and my allistic ones all agree i am and that's all i have to come with rn. to quote my dear friends: "you're literally the definition of autism")
here's some stuff i like or find interesting:
☆ character art, design and development🤖
☆ drawing both traditionally and digitally🖍
☆ my oc's❤️
☆ sketchbook drawing and decoration📒
☆ animation and animatics🎞
☆ crows and similar birds in the corvid family🖤
☆ my favorite aesthetics: own aesthetics i don't know how to name📻, sciencecore🧪, scenecore⚡️, y2k💎, gremlincore🌲, fairygrunge/similar aesthetics🕸, cryptidcore🔦, crowcore🖤
☆ exploring in the forest🌲
☆ Lemon Demon☎️
☆ Oingo Boingo☠️
☆ Pseudo Echo🌆
☆ Minecraft⛏️
☆ 80s, 90s and 2000s stuff📼
☆ my favorite types of characters are fun villains who know they are villains and that they are the shit/pos, mad scientists because chemistry and machines and robots and stuff are cool and we love the unhingedness, and odd/chaotic but chill characters who i just really vibe with😎
☆ Undertale and Deltarune (fav characters: Sans, Papyrus, Spamton, Mettaton, Lancer, Susie)❤️
☆ Arcane (Fav characters: Victor, Jinx, Silco)🔫
☆ Frankenstein and it's fandom🔩
☆ Youtubers/streamers i like: Jschlatt, Ted Nivison, Slimesicle, Strange Eons, Internet Historian, Nilered, Milomumbles, Jackscepticeye, Markiplier, Daz Games, Philza and wow there is probably so many more i forgot.🐏
☆ maybe getting into the Re Animator fandom cuz i love Herbert and the Danbert ship🧪
☆ monster energy (i collect the cans but don't drink it that much since it doesn't go well with my anxiety sometimes)⚡️
☆ old technology (old computers, computer games, old internet, cassette tapes, vhs, cd's and more)📻
☆ game development (dunno how to make games myself but wanna learn)🎮
☆ chemistry is interesting and cool, i wanna learn it but i struggle with math and remembering all the words and little facts about things. :( ⚗️
wow this got really long and i dunno what more to write. :P
PSEUDO ECHO - “LISTENING”
Lately, I’ve been fascinated with the history of Australia’s hit music charts. Australia is a bit peculiar--the charts are mostly fairly similar to those of the UK with a lot of acts native to Britain, which I guess I would have expected. There’s also quite a bit of American stuff, as the Australians seem to have quite an affinity for the rock sound. Must be all the wide-open space! Aside from being a little bit behind on when things debut, presumably due to the delays of shipping vinyl all the way there during this era, the other noteworthy feature of the charts is, as you might expect, a number of homegrown artists.
There are some Australian acts that were huge all-over, such as the Bee Gees or dance-floor queen Kylie Minogue, who are equally as popular in their homeland. There are some who had modest success elsewhere, but significantly more back home, such as INXS or Midnight Oil. A few of them stand out as having seemingly been snubbed Down Under despite international acclaim, like Olivia Newton-John and Men At Work. And, of course, the real hidden gems: the Australian artists who seem to only have been lauded domestically, whom we missed out on in the bustling Northern Hemisphere.
Pseudo Echo are in this most interesting of categories. Aside from Real Life of “Send Me an Angel” fame, they seem to be our smallest continent’s chief contribution to New Wave. They’re best known for their rockish cover of Lipps, Inc.’s beloved disco anthem “Funkytown,” which I think takes a pretty fun idea and under-delivers on its potential a bit. But in Australia, they had a few other hits to their name, including “Listening.” I like “Listening” quite a bit better than “Funkytown,” and almost as much as “Send Me an Angel.” They have a similar angry, indignant sensibility that propels them, as well as enormous synth hooks. It’s definitely the kind of song you can easily see having been a huge hit, had the circumstances been just a little different...a total “hidden gem.”
And then there's this, one of the greatest Jason Voorhees Friday The 13th (V) murder songs.
