It's easy to think "nobody in the whole wide world cares about me" on an empty stomach but try doing it while eating Vegetables and Rice. Seems less convincing now doesn't it? That's simply the power of Vegetables and Rice..

Hello very much :)

I thought about making a video on this topic but I decided to just write it out in a post instead. Either way, I'd like to speak a bit more specifically about a drunk rant I made on a separate account the other day that was not as well put together as I'd like to stand as my viewpoints on the subject.

tl:dr, I just feel as though there's a lack of sincerity in the world these days. I speak from personal experience as an artist putting things out into the world, yes, but also as a human being interacting with other human beings on the regular, and I have had my sentiments echoed by many other friends of mine over the past year or so, both artists and non-artists alike. Most of this will be framed through the consumption of art, because that's my own personal passion in this life of mine, but also the way we interface with each other and process the world around us. Now, don't get me wrong, I love to laugh. I love a good joke, and I love lightheartedness as much as the next person. But I saw someone this morning put it very succinctly in response to my rant, something along the lines of "don't let the joke about it overtake the source material." It feels as though it's a common occurrence these days to take a pinch of something with a lot more weight to it, often a humorous bit, and then run with it. Everyone then gathers around the pinch to ooh and ahh and consume it as a whole. Context is immediately lost, the legacy of that body of work becomes its own caricature, and anyone discovering that body of work via said caricature may forgo a piece of art they would otherwise love because "there's nothing there". And don't think this is me griping at those making jokes at the expense of my art. I make jokes about my own art. But when the joke dies, yet continues to grow, and spread, and finds its way back to me both on the internet and off for months (or, God forbid, years) to come, I can't help but say to myself; what the fuck is happening. Artists have fled the public and all their outlets for personality and expression outside the medium because they feel ridiculed. It's not even just their art. Katya comes to mind, speaking on how she went on youtube live a few years back in literal tears talking about police brutality and the injustices marginalized communities were facing at the hands of the government. Meanwhile, the entire comment section "yass" and "mother"ed her in barrages, not paying attention to anything she had to say. I get asked about when I'm dropping Preacher's Daughter vinyl en masse in response to my Palestine fundraiser links. It's everywhere and it's inescapable. No one can be serious for even two seconds.

This may all sound obnoxious; so be it. I tie strings from this central problem to many other complaints I have heard repeated ad nauseam the past few years. For example; the death of subculture. Goth, punk, whatever, you name it. People who built an underground counterculture movement with a rich history based on a love of art, community, and otherwise misunderstood worldviews and experiences deemed foul or inappropriate. Now we see bits taken from it, the terms and the looks, without any of the meat, spread thin across society as a whole. Words mean nothing anymore. One can rest on history and say they were a part of it when in fact, they did nothing. No appreciation or understanding to be had for the love and passion that built it. No serious interaction with the culture's very real confines and boundaries, just mindless co-opting. This has just as much to do with late stage capitalism as it does with excessive humor in lieu of sincerity, but it's certainly both. Again, this may sound like a silly complaint, but I don't care. The collective ennui we're all experiencing has a very real reason, whether we're ready to acknowledge or not.

In a twisted thread, it's even tied to our lack of care to change the world around us. People cheer on the idea of communism, but who among us is ready to give up the convenience of society as it stands? Amazon prime, doordash, fresh fruit out of season as I saw someone mention in a similar post last week; the marvels of modern technology. Do we really think these things can last in a society that isn't actively destroying the planet? We talk about the idea of something all day long but have very little to do with the actuality of what we're talking about. And don't think I consider myself exempt from this problem. I couldn't even try to claim to be. It seems nearly silly to be complaining, then, about the way people consume the art around them these days as we creep towards what feels like the end of days. But as long as I still draw breath, I must complain.

I miss genuine passion. As an autistic individual, when I'm alone, sometimes I cannot contain myself with how things make me feel. The music I listen to, the video games I play, the books I read. I almost feel the need to run through the house and scream in everyone's face how I'm feeling. It feels good to love intensely. Now, I won't pretend like autistic people haven't been bullied for this since the dawn of time, but there is surely a noticeable lack of passion in everything these days. Everyone can feel it, everyone is talking about it. Everything now is "cringe", or "doing too much", or "not that serious". Actually, it is that serious. Insecurity in one's own deeper feelings may not be a new thing, but a culture that seems to promote this eschewing of them does seem to be a new evil. The tone of the internet has completely shifted. I spent most of my time here when I first discovered it a little over a decade ago on Zelda forums and other chat-based websites, talking about how much I loved whatever fandom I was in at the time and having genuine and memorable interactions with like-minded individuals who felt the same way I do. Now, you have two options; if you hate media, you rip it to shreds, and if you love it, you word-salad it to death and parrot a joke about it that someone else said. I'm not saying people don't still talk seriously in a heartfelt way about the things they love, but it does not seem to be the initial reaction anymore. Do I have a solution to this problem? Of course not. I'm a 26 year old girl posting on a tumblr blog. If I had a solution, this is not where I would be dropping it. But conversation is God to man, and I believe in the ability to change things from the inside out. We make the rules, and we can change them.

Before I go, I'd like to just clarify that I am very grateful for my career, grateful to anyone who has ever given me and my art the time of day, grateful to anyone who has ever come up to me and connected with me over my work, and grateful for a life where someone making too many jokes is the worst part of my day. I do not think I am better nor smarter than anyone on or off the internet. I am simply a girl with big feelings and I enjoy talking about them with other people with big feelings, and it makes me sad when something avoidable or unnecessary gets in the way of that.

All in all, I love to love, and I love all of you, I love my life, I love this record, and mi amore vo- i mean.... oh, whatever.

(Feel free to sound off in the comments and please be nice to each other)

Hannibal art dump!

Hair holds memories/despite everything it’s still you/etc etc

Omg wait this too I love sharing my drawings. Once I get into Adelaide stuff I will not shut up she’s my pride and joy. I love drawing baby Adelaide girl it was over for you before it even started

Also I’m impatient sorry guys Jeff Woods Liu Woods Nina Hopkins jumpscare

Ever since he was little, Jeff’s always looked a little feminine and a little scared all the time. He liked to tell Julie he was so pretty because something in his genes knew Liu wanted someone else to practice makeup on. Liu liked to tell him he was pretty because she was a good big sister and didn’t hoard all the estrogen while in the womb so Jeff could have it. Jeff thought it was fun to make jokes about why he looked so feminine and why he had such a pretty face. The jokes were never very serious though, because he actually quite liked his face. He liked how full his lips were and how high his cheekbones sat. Liu had both those traits as well. He’d never think poorly about looking like his sister. Jeff’s big wide eyed stare is a big part of why he looks so scared all the time. He knows that. And he knows the way his lips stay parted because the scar tissue pulls at the edges certainly doesn’t make him look less frightened. When they first started talking, Julie got on Jeff about looking so scared all the time. She told him his eyes would dry out if he kept looking around like a wounded prey animal. Jeff didn’t really know how to stop looking like that. His big brown eyes were always fully opened without him even trying. Julie would softly trace his eye socket and cheekbones with the pad of her thumb and tell him he might as well cut his eyelids off because they don’t help him much anyways. He liked it when Julie called him a prey animal, but he didn’t like to think about why he did.

Okay guys Julie my goatress will be introduced soon and also I hit Liu with my transgenderfication beam she’s transfem I’m in love with her

Nina Hopkins had no reason to act the way she did. She was raised to be kind and patient. She was raised to be independent and honest. She was raised to be a good person. Her parents had given her the perfect opportunity for a perfect life— financial security and doting caretakers easing any possible stress she could have taken on as she grew up. She was given all of this but above anything else, Nina was just cruel. Shoving and sneering at the goth boy in the mall was enough to make her smile, but she relished in the way he shrunk down into himself after she convinced everyone at school that he totally tried to take pictures up her skirt. Nina loved getting as many people as she could involved in whatever cruelty she thought of. Maybe that’s why Jeffery Woods was different. She found him after other girls on the forum had already known about him and immediately felt a connection. The look in his eyes in the security tapes making its rounds on the forum made her feel greedy. It made her feel like she wanted him all to himself. She was the only one that saw her own cruelty reflected back in his eyes.

The last time Jeffery Woods saw his family was his eighteenth birthday. He left behind an uneaten store bought chocolate cake with his name spelt wrong and a barely started save of Majora’s Mask. His sister dragged him out of the fire she started and took extra care not to move his face more than she needed to. She didn’t want the blood to drown him. He woke up alone in the middle of the woods with fresh burns and a tea towel shoved into his mouth, soaked in the blood from before the scabs started forming.

Plus not dark version ;-3
