I'm Dragon/Sushi/Sugori/Sockums (any name works lmao), and this is my blog! I mostly reblog things for my nostalgia's sake, or post little nonsesenses, but sometimes I post my art!! When I post art, please make sure you reblog my art instead of copying it and pasting it somewhere else. Thank you!Unus Annus. Memento Mori.(My old art is embarrassing. But I don't dare delete it. Don't look at it please lmao)

I've actually been wanting to post this for a while, but ThatSkyKid Discord Server had a cloud-tracing challenge a while back that I participated in. The goal was to take a picture of clouds somewhere out in the world, see a sky or birthday themed scene in them, and to sketch/trace it into reality. You could only use the colors white and black, were't allowed to pull cloud images from the internet, and you weren't allowed to put a watermark on your piece. (that was the only part I didn't get, but fair enough š¤£)
If I remember correctly, there were six spots to win. 6th-2nd were heart rewards that got higher the closer you got to 1st, and 1st place itself was the reward of either a $5 Discord Nitro or a $5 Seasonal Candle Pack!
This was how my piece turned out!-
I ofc added my signature/watermarks in after here, because I like this piece too much not to stamp my digital likeness on it.
And jic you don't trust that it's mine, here's my never-before seen progress shots āØ
Look at my art process go, wow š¶ Makes me look more competent than I am, pahahaha.
The event was an absolute blast to participate in, and I was happy with what I accomplished, even if I wasn't to win anything. I was just happy to have the opportunity to work on a piece that didn't stress me out for once, lol. And admittedly, it was one that made me proud.
But, it seems fortune turned to me for once, and the staff liked my piece- because I did end up winning something. And not just any something, 1st place!! š¤©āØ
I told friends and we totally geeked out about it ^0^
[End of time capsule postāØ]

It has been 336 days since Unus Annus was deleted on November 14th 2020 @ 12:01 AM
Goooddd Deadtale. What a memory.
I'm surprised I still have these screenshots-
This game was my life for like a solid month before the app ended up shutting down. I still don't know why it did, but all that matters is I had a lot of fun in it, and damn did I love raising hell with my fellow boxes. What a good little multiplayer, roleplaying, fangame.
Oml, the "Say hi to Tumblr" and yet I never sent these Screenshots until now xD
Iām such a flirt, even in DeadTale.
"I'm going to take over the government. Teehee!!"
He's just a harmless little spider man, in the rain.
(A dooble I did of my son)
I have more of the smol man, but not on this device :p
My best friend has this oddest obsession with Spamton, like he either likes him a lot (lovingly) or thinks he's super precious, or funny. I could never tell, or bother to ask-
But idk,,,
this animation really does show his p r e c i o u s factor a bit more. š
Man. I need to send this to him lmao.
(Love you Shitpost Undertale! Been a long while since I've seen y'all posting <3)
And what an adorable animation from GatorBeast!!
tuck spamton in
Absolutely beautiful. š
It all began with a black and white spiral interrupting three scary games. There was an echo of cult-like chanting and an hourglass with skulls. I was intrigued, pulled in. This strange aesthetic struck a note with me. I immediately dove in to see two videos. One was that same black and white spiral; the other was, well, it was cooking with sex toys. I was confused, and experienced my first Unus Annus induced whiplash, but more than ready to hop on what I knew would be a wild ride. Cliche and classic, but, little did I know how much those two idiots and their project would mean to me.
The year flew by faster than I would have liked. More happened this year than I expected. Through all the apocalyptic shock, there was one stable, consistent thing in my Thanos-snapped life that I found myself leaning on time and again. Their steady, every day chaos was something I think many needed, and soon realized they needed as more and more piled on our shoulders with each passing month. I am eternally grateful for this gift of a temporary thing they gave us.Ā
Now I cannot say I loyally watched the videos every day, but I did not miss one. I found I liked letting the videos pile up and save them for a rainy day, though I knew that was not a habit I could keep forever. I peacefully played Minecraft while they went on internet scavenger hunts and validated the beauty of every woman (specifically Zak Effron). I slouched or curled up in my bed after a long day at work, giggling at their antics during collaborations and pulling things I should definitely not try at home. They brought a small, immeasurable joy in my life, which I held like one would hold a handful of fresh stardust. The warmth and humor they gave nestled itself in my veins and helped me power through so many changes that have created a whole new person I can proudly call myself.Ā
I moved thousands of miles from my family and friends and began working my first real job. I am building myself up and working towards becoming a functional human being for once in my life. I feel myself changing and growing every day, and they have been there every step of the wayā guiding me in some, strange way.
I feel this project has inspired me in more ways than I could have possibly imagined. With each memeable, perfectly chaotic video, I learned time is precious, mortality is a gift from whatever one may believe in, and every opportunity should be taken with hungry hands and a hungrier heart.
I am excited for the future for once in my life, excited to see what I can accomplish with this new, taught mindset; excited to unleash this burning hunger and pour myself into everything precious to me. I have my own projects all lined up, waiting for me to give them color. I have a whole new internet personality to discover and support and watch grow; there is an endless hallway filled with doors of opportunity for me to open. These new things are all blooming and thriving from the decay of a digital channel. Such are cycles and life.
The day the livestream aired, I was met with jumbled nerves and a racing heartbeat. I trembled and worked faster than I ever had so I could leave earlier than everyone else (though Iām not sure if my boss was too happy). I was able to slide into bed with a light meal seconds before it started. I sat through all twelve hours, determined to see this through to the end and feel that sense of completion. I knew I would never feel complete if I missed a second. The rollercoaster of emotions were thrilling, I knew they would make for great inspiration in my writing. I laughed, cried, reflected, reminisced. I thought back to what I felt in the beginning and how my attachment grew so strong it hurt.Ā
As the clock sped down toward inevitable doom, I passed my parting words in silent, choked back sobs and clammy, trembling fingers holding my arms in a self-embrace. The clock passed into the final minute and I leaned forward, shaking my head, a silent no on my lips, betraying my composed nature. 10 seconds, and my mind flashed back into speeding film reels of Ethan and Mark doing goat yoga, shooting archery, shooting each other with paintball guns, using neti pots, creating disgusting food and drink combos, making holy and unholy water, playing nutball, attempting to paint, pasting the face of Benjamin Franklin on a ketchup bottle, hydro dipping a baby, bobbing for chunks of tuna, running from bears, hunting HeeHoo, holding one another and saying how much they loved each other. 5 seconds and my body dropped into ice, my stomach curled into itself, my eyes widened with tears and before I could whisper goodbye, the screen violently thrust me into darkness.Ā
I have never heard such deafening silence.
My goodbye still stuck in my throat, I slowly closed my laptop and pretended I was fine. I lapsed back into my usual coping of pretending Iām okay when I am very much not okay. The perfect cocktail of absolute elation and bone breaking sorrow has made my heartstrings refrain from playing their usual tune. All is still inside me, though the world rushes by. I know I am in mourning, and I know it will last a while.
Every time I will blink or let my mind drift, I will be met with wave after wave of memories, dripping in that golden chaos they created. I know out of habit I will look for their channel notifications, only to be met with nothing, only to remember their channel died. I know I will ask where they went when I forget that 12 is no longer marked by their uploads. It will be a journey, trying to forget Unus and Annus no longer exist in this material world. Their ghosts will haunt me for months, shadowing my every move. They will lurk in corners, watch me from afar, making sure I truly learned what they taught. They will whisper incessantly, reminding me death is inevitable and the clock is always ticking; they will chant and make mantras of nihilism until one day, their whispering will cease, and I will have lost them all over again.
Thank you, Mark and Ethan. You will never know my name, and you will never know how much your channel together changed me. The silly videos you made helped me more than I will admit out loud, and I can hardly wait for what the future holds for the two of you. I am now learning to hold hope and excitement in my own future. I am taking initiative in my life and seeing everything I take control of for myself pay off. I can only hope my future is as bright as yours. Thank you, again; the impact you have is so great and so positive. You will make history. I look forward to the end and what lies beyond. See you on the other side.
Memento Mori.
Unus Annus.
tl/dr: :( but also :)
iāve been seeing people saying they feel so lost without unus annus, that thereās a hole in their heart and theyāre just empty and sad and numb inside and i get that, i kind of feel that way too and thatās perfectly valid but iām also the exact opposite. i feel FOUND because of ua my heart is FILLED with EMOTIONS and PASSION and motivation to CREATE and just fucking LIVE they actually showed me what it means to live, how to appreciate and take in every second, and i wouldnāt feel that way if it wasnāt deleted. and honestly, iām glad they did. i wouldāve never had this experience and these feelings and these lessons they taught me without it being temporary, just like life. i get it. i really fucking get it. iām excited for the future. iām happy. from the bottom of my heart, truly, thank you.
Remember death
But most importantly
Remember to live
I already miss this channel so much, it really helped me through a tough year, and I think we can all say that to a certain extent.
I wish I had more edits while the channel was still alive, but Iām happy with what I was able to make and I hope you all like them too :)
Anyway, keep your head up, we got this.
Memento Mori
Thanks Unus Annus š¤š¤
Memento mori.
I have been here since day one, and was here at the end.
I am an Unus, but also a seeker of the mythical Gongoozler, and a loyal believer in the legendary Heehoo.
I will butter my bread with the spice of life.
I will hold the Disclamer Song and Dance of Italy forever close to my heart.
This channel inspired me. Influenced me. Encouraged me to have a little fun every now and then.
I taught my dog to play dead by shouting "BANG" at him, training him with treats. I will happily admit my dog did better than Chica and Spencer, unfortunately for them.
I learned a secret, touchless handshake. Hopefully one day, I'll run into another who can do the handshake with me.
I freely wrote my own poetry after listeing to your beautiful Mac and Cheese song.
On my birthday, Mark and Ethan were crushed by 170+ pound snakes, of which only enforced my love for gentle reptiles.
I happily bought the merch, the only physical memories we're truly allowed to keep.
And in the final stream, I dressed up for the occasion. Just as they asked.
I had been there since day one, and was there at the very end.
Thank you for the memories Mark, Ethan, Amy, the whole lovely crew and editors.
This was a tough year to push through, and you were all amazing in carrying out the whole year with such determination and vigor.
This channel was one of my beautiful, silly, inspiring bright lights during quarantine. Yet, even though I find it now snuffed out, I know I will be able to keep pushing forward without it.
So much good came out of this channel, and I hope y'all understand that.
Here I hold the memory of the beginning, the memory of the end.
Memento mori.
Unus annus.
I'll see you on the other side.

I want to congratulate Zedd and Alessia Cara for making it onto ABC's New Year Rockin' Eve 18.
I especially want to congratulate Zedd, my great boi is making his way on up in the world.
Zedd is one of my favorite mixers, along side Porter Robinson and TheFatRat, and it is just great seeing him on live television. Though, I would like to note that the first time he got some really good public attention was when he mixed "Candy Man". My favorite song of his has, and probably always will be "Done with Love".
Congrats Zedd and Alessia Cara, and I hope everyone has a happy new year. Lets greet 2018 with a smile.
It's beautiful...
It's beautiful...
IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL!!!
This is true beauty at is truest.
The app I usually use to draw stopped working with the new update... so now I have to learn how to use their newer app simply called sketchbook.
It might be a while before I post any digital drawings. Sorry guys.
