i really hate having to do this for something so trivial when most people only resort to this when they need important shit like groceries or bills, but my wired headphones are broken. i need those if i wanna keep being a musician and video editor, but we currently don't have the money to get new ones, and i kinda need them sooner rather than later.
good thing i'm also an artist, so here's my kofi, and if you want a proper commission, here's my TOS.
you want some art of cute anime people? i got you art of cute anime people. i also have options for if you want a custom vocaloid/vocalsynth cover video. image ID in the alt text.

truth be told i have no idea what one would normally tag something like this with, so i'm just gonna leave it untagged. let the waves take it.
I have donated $10 to this fundraiser, for twin girls Rawan and Razan, and their family, to evacuate to Egypt and recieve urgent medical care. If you can, match my donation! Send a screenshot of your receipt and I'll sketch you something! 🍉💞
las vegas is a special kind of horrifying compared to the rest of the southwest because you get three different flavors of horror all together. there’s the strip, obviously, the hypnosis of the casinos. you know they intentionally don’t put clocks in casinos? and they put mirrors wherever they can? they’re trying to disorient you so you stay inside. they’re trying to trap you. and the casinos are different but they’re all the same underneath, slots and shows and roulette wheels, the same bones in different bodies. but then you get outside the strip and you’re in the suburbs. it’s flat. barely anything outside the strip is more than two, maybe three storeys. everything is in a strip mall. the houses are identical wherever you go. even the schools - there are two major architectural blueprints for high schools in las vegas. if you’ve been inside one school you can navigate them all. it’s all the same and it’s all normal, in defiance of the neon of the strip. (you can see the beacon from the luxor from anywhere in the city, you can always find your way to the strip, but- is that better, than being somewhere that you know? somewhere that’s the same wherever you go?) and then of course if you step too far outside you’re in the desert. much further and you’re in the mountains. the suburbs are creeping out further and further, taking over, but there will always be desert. summer will always be 120 degrees. there will always be heat and scorpions on the edges and no matter how far you push out you will not be able to build on the mountains. no matter how hard you try the desert will find you. and none of these things are mutually exclusive, not as much as you think. there are slot machines in grocery stores. there are houses behind casinos. there is undeveloped desert in the center of everything, reminding you that the desert was not built to hold you, the desert was not built for this, you should not be here. you shouldn’t be here.
