anti_clockworkdoes anyone remember the animation meme community, specifically from the 2017-2020 era, and how much controversy followed it?? i used to be part of the community when i was younger (though i was more of a lurker than someone who actually had a public figure) and idolized the likes of seelmaru, rosali, kittydog, sleepykinq/twister-doctor, pastarru, baked ponotion, lupisvulpes, sashley... you get the gist. though, i was never really aware of any drama apart from what lupisvulpes did and the whole crazy ass cristali controversy that (i believe?) ended in his/her arrest o_o;;
also looking back it's really funny how so many people got so pissy over mary sues, circle tool and sans fangirls to the point of making cringy hate art that i imagine the creators must HATE now, and how all the fangirls of xyz character were fighting each other so much they would draw art of them killing each other and all that bullshit xD but man that community back in the day was ROUGH. the amount of hate, grooming, sexually suggesting content where there shouldn't have been (because reminder, apart from a select few like seelmaru, a lot of the popular creators at the time were not much older than maybe 15, not to mention how many were even younger than that), gore, obsession towards other people... yikes!
anywho, it seems like almost everyone i idolized from that time is now a horrible person.. sagutoyas, birdie/jack, synnibear/scootalolovessans, sleepykinq/twister-doctor, pastarru, lupisvulpes.. bleh. don't get me wrong, i'm aware that a lot of these people were groomed and stuff which may be the reason to why they're so messed up, but that's not at all an excuse, man. i do kind of miss this era though, yeah everything was cringe as fuck and super repetitive most of the time looking back but the animations were cute and it brought me a lot of joy when i was watching it. i just don't get that same feeling when watching the stuff being made nowadays.. though there are some animators i still enjoy watching even though i've kinda moved on from being super into it :P
heh, sorry for the quick ramble.. i just got a random wave of nostalgia and wanted to share it with you guys xP would love to know your experiences with it if you ever had any :P

Dec. 23rd, 2025 06:12 pmanti_clockworkdo you guys ever see something so stupid and offensive sent by your family that you can't help but just stare at your screen in awe? well, I have. i haven't been on the computer much this week, since i've been kind of depressed and lonely this week and i felt like being on the internet all day just made it a bit worse for me, but that's for another day.
so anyway, back to the main point of this entry; today i opened up my laptop to check in on my website, journal and other stuff, when i noticed my mom sent me something through messenger, whatsapp.. whatever, same bullshit. i read the notification, and i SWEAR TO GOD, she sent me an AI generated coloring page of my sister and some dumbass elf (that's what it said, anyway, i didn't bother to click on because then she would know i read the message and would pester me to color it until i had to.) and when i tell you i am pissed, i am PISSED.
she's very much aware of how much i DESPISE AI sloppery, but i guess none of that matters when it comes to her favorite daughter. she literally could've just asked me to draw something myself from scratch! i'm not the biggest fan of drawing for others, but COME ON. it would've been better than asking the damn robot to do it! godijusthateaisomuch.
bleh, i feel like i'm overreacting. but, just.. why? why even use that ai bullshit when i could've done it myself? >:P "oh, but ai does it faster!" and ai can KISS. MY. ASS. maybe it makes shit faster, but it looks bad. not to mention the environmental impact, too. i genuinely think ai is just making people stupid. yeah, let's tell the clearly impressionable kids to use chatgpt to do EVERYTHING! oh noes, i can't think without chatgpt! ai is the best! AI, AI, AI! IT'S ALWAYS THE FUCKING AI!
ai truly is the death of passion. really.

IT'S JOLLY SEASONNNNN!!!!
Dec. 19th, 2025 08:57 pmporcelainlambMerry Crisis, frens! How are we doing this festive season? Right now, I'm busy doing my animation group project homework whilst waiting for the clothes to dry. Today's been super laid backed, strangely enough - I didn't really do much other than lay in bed and do homework. I'm heading to my parents' place tomorrow for the holidays, since we've already ended the semester, lulz. I've been mostly just been listening to music, watching cartoons/youtube, and playing with my punirunes handheld pet during my free time recently tbh. I've also updated my website a bit and finally finished that drawing of Mixtape this week too (which I uploaded to toyhouse btw hehe ^^). Ummm go listen to Deadstar Assembly, A Perfect Circle and April's Love Affair; they're all so fucking epic!!!
That reminds me... New Year's resolutions!!! What are you guys' ones? Mine are: practice art fundamentals, listen to even more insane music, learn to make my own kandi and go to raves, learn to talk to new people and voice my feelings more, watch (& finish) more anime o___O, purchase my first commission and open up my own commissions + make more adoptables, write and publish character details and lore for y'all's reading pleasure, go out and exercise more, practice my animation skills, eat healthily, and read more books! Damnnnn that's a lot! (°ー°〃)
I think that's everything I wanted to say at the moment, so I'll be off to go pick up my clothes from the dryers... Ciao!!! (˶ᵔᗜᵔ˶)ﾉﾞ
