hey guys i went missing again because i was COOKING
had this idea swirling around in my head for a few months before i finally decided to take action like 3 days ago. the mark of a true procrastinator...
meant to be a late 1000 episode special, now turned into late night birthday gift (it's shen's birthday today did you guys know that, please go wish him a happy happy birthday right this instant)
there was also meant to be a video to go along with the music, but sony vegas pro kept eating all of my ram and crashed every few minutes. and i don't wanna delay this any more than i already have, so here's a gif of me sittin' in the Chair lookin' all silly.
special thanks to my good friend mae who transcribed the original song in like 3 hours

Soldier/Zhanna: *bringing out ring boxes at the same time*
Zhanna: Oh… *laughs* It seems we both planned to propose to each other right here!
Soldier: *smugly* AH, BUT I’VE TAKEN THE KNEE! SO IT SEEMS THAT I’LL BE THE ONE PROPOSING TODAY!
Zhanna: *smirks* Not so fast! *on both her knees, huddled* I’m even lower than you! I’m proposing!
Soldier: OH HO HO! HOW SURE YOU ARE OF YOURSELF!
Soldier: *lays flat on his front* BEHOLD! I AM A LOW AS THE HUMAN BODY CAN POSSIBLY BE! I WILL BE THE ONE WHO PROPOSES, CUPCAKE, AND THERE IS NOTHING YOU C-
Zhanna: *cuts Soldier off by digging into the soil in front of him*

Realized recently that I've never tried making the smaller details of FP games before! Here are some dynamic footsteps, object pickup and light switches. Nothing groundbreaking, but was very relaxing to work on. (slight volume warning)

An interesting phenomena I've noticed is when Buzzfeed/CollegeHumor type artists who were previously ragged on in earlier years for having cookie cutter artwork and a millennial style of humor later down the line start developing their art styles and humor more to where they're more unique and dynamic and less like.... Y'know..... Buzzfeedy. Even more interesting is that I've also seen some of these same artists dip their toes into horror
my mom is so funny she was just like "there's this guy on tumblr and you could totally do what he does, he makes these short comics that are just 4 panels or sometimes less, and they suck-- well that's mean to say, they don't suck-- but if you did it yours would be way wittier" (it was shencomix)
I saw this posted on reddit to a wholesome memes sub, and it was full of nothing but people being unnecessarily awful on a post trying to spread information about why these creatures are beautiful and worthy of living. (Interesting note: They don't need a reason to be allowed to live.) I got sick of trying to correct people on there who were more interested in hating wasps than hearing the truth.
Honestly, it's just exhausting sometimes.
