Hi. I'd like to talk a little about my time on social media as an artist. I'm sure a lot of this has been said by a ton of artists before me, but I'm going to say it again anyways.

My online handle is @ commiicc. I've gone by the alias Comic for a few years now. I was extremely active of Twitter during the height of the DreamSMP fandom. My time in this community brought me many memories and experience. Both good and bad. Today, I just want to focus on the art.

In my opinion and experience the art community of the DSMP fandom was so incredibly toxic. Artists were the backbone of the community. It was said time and time again. But this held many artists to unfair expectations. The turn around on art was insane. If art was not posted directly after or the day after the stream/ event it would flop. Posts would circulate about the perfect posting times, which I would memorize, then be so sad when I'd post at those times and a price would still fail. I'd blame myself. I'd internalize it and think I just wasn't good enough. It was never my art. It was simply the shit algorithm that is any social media, but that didn't stop me of course.

And I watched so many young artists beg for followers, because validation meant everything. And we all wanted to be mutuals with the popular, big twitters because that meant we'd made it... right?

I watched followers drop and people ask if they'd done something wrong to deserve it because canceling was so common. It was usually just bots being deleted, but "what if I did something wrong" was always everyone's go to.

Going back to artists being the backbone of the community and pumping out content. I used to say how thankful I was for the community because it made me grow and find my style. But in reality, I only found my style once I stepped back and took time on a piece. I was just slapping shit together back then. I hated most of what I made during that time. It was all rushed. Because no one gave me time. I always felt so rushed to post something so it gets attention. Post something so my followers don't think Im leaving. Because if you took too long to post (more than a week) you'd start losing people. I was a small artist and craved that attention... So I forced myself to create, even if I had no ideas. It's pushed me into burn out.

I'd compare myself to other artists who somehow created masterpieces in like two hours when it took me ages to do anything. I compared myself to everyone and hated everything I did. It was incredibly unhealthy.

I've only just now started making things I enjoy again.

Even when I switched fandoms I was still in the mindset of pushing out art, so I hate it all.

Only after burning myself out can I now restart and find my style... Can I now actually create again.

And I know that's just the culture of social media. and people used to tell me "just don't care" "just don't look at the views". do you know how hard it is to be a 16, 17, even 18 years old and NOT look at that??? to be a new artist and NOT care how much attention your art gets??? when a content creator that you love can see your fanart and has actually seen it.. all humans want is validation. Social media prys on that toxic need. On that innate human need. Cause yeah, we all want to know that what we're doing looks good, but holy shit was that place bad.

And I KNOW I'm not the first person to say this. I'm just trying to share my experience and I'm putting all this disclaimer here in case... So please just check yourself and remember we're all human. Social media is kinda awful and this is literally just my blog to share long thoughts and archive who I am. My time on social media fucked me up a little and I'm just now realizing it. That's what all this is.

So yeah all this to say, I'm done posting my art on social media for now. I'm done pumping out art just for the sake of it. When I create something worth sharing, I'll post it. But for now, I'll be in my comfortable void. I'm around and always willing to chat about the art making process or just chat in general. I'm creating. I always have been. I'm just not sharing it. It's not for your eyes.

It will be when im ready.

And new artists, young artists, any artists; your worth is not determined by the views or likes a post gets. Your art is worth more than any amount of attention it gets on social media. Don't create for attention. Create because you enjoy it. Create for yourself. That's where the magic happens.

thanks for reading. sorry this is long. I'm very wordy. thanks for being here.

- Comic

Dream Lore Recap Part 2: In which I find one of “Dream”’s former victims and he’s okay (thank god)

Another dream thingy I’ve been stalling on for way too long! Funnily enough this dream happened 1 or 2 nights after the other lore important dream I kept stalling on. It was also the first “Dream”/DreamSMP related dream I’ve had in quite a while tbh (not like that’s a bad thing or anyway lol)

It started out normally, or as normally as a “Dream” dream would start, with the prick himself basically kidnapping me while I was asleep to take me back to his stupid pocket dimension for god knows what. Now, usually when he’s abducting me, I’d start transforming against my will into whatever character he wanted me to take the role of in the “SMP” (usually Wilbur for some fucking reason), but this time through some deus ex machina or glitch in the matrix, I ended up turning into my Heart interpretation (which you may be familiar with if you’ve seen my Chonny Jash fanart) instead. (Honestly now that I think about it, I had an unusually large amount of dreams involving either me or someone else being turned into Heart during the week or so this dream was had in. Wonder what that means if anything)

Now, because if this transformation, “Dream” ended up not taking me to his little SMP and instead kinda sorta abandoned me in the middle of whatever universe/timeline he was passing through to get there. This was around the time where I regained consciousness and ended up hiding in some random house I found in case he decided to come back for me.

Turns out, through sheer coincidence, I ended up in the house of this lesbian couple who were actually survivors from the universe “Dream” destroyed in order to recreate his pocket dimension that one time along with the unnamed Tommyinnit that was one of “Dream”’s previous victims who the couple technically adopted and look after. I remember that despite being freed from the SMP, he still was stuck in that form and couldn’t remember anything about his previous life before being abducted.

After meeting each other, one of the lesbians was a bit put off by me, probably cause of her previous (and most likely traumatizing) experience with another reality bender, but ended up somewhat tolerating me after I explained that I was just as spiteful towards “Dream” as she was. (The enemy of my enemy is my friend and all that) In the end we ended up deciding to sorta team up to try and stop “Dream” along with this random punk guy who was friends with the couple and came from the same destroyed universe as them.

So yeah, that’s a thing. If anything it’s good to know “Tommy” is safe and not, y’know, dead or something. Anyway, it’s like half past my bedtime rn where I’m at so I’m going to sleep for the night. See y’all’s tomorrow I guess. I’ve got a few more previous dreams to catch you all up on, so look forward to that I guess! :)

ghostinnit au but instead of bad events, tommy loses his memory of those who wronged him in life.

turns out president tubbo isn't one of those people, despite his guilt.

first post

okay... my first tumblr post... no big deal, no one’s going to see this anyway.

This place is kind of terrifying - and if it were anything like twitter, it would be months before I made my first post, where instead I would just be lurking beneath this page, constantly active but never posting in fear of someone disagreeing and being met with a ridiculous amount of hate.

However, I’ve been told this place isn’t like twitter at all, and I’m excited to see what i actually want to see to do with mcyts: fanart and one shot fluff, instead of holding cc’s to insane standards and mass priv qrt’s when something doesn’t go your way.

I’m still learning how this place works, as I don't have very much experience, and this place is like HTML central (not what I'm used to lol), so please bear with me, but I’m going to give a list of stuff that I like, and if anyone happens to see this and feels like becoming friends, give me a follow :DD

- i’m currently hyperfixating on mcyt, and twitch in terms of minecraft players, and most members of the DreamSMP

- I like other youtubers, like Grian, SmallishBeans, and LDShadowlady, but I also watch some stuff that isn’t gaming related (Cody Ko, James Marriott/ the Eboys, the Sidemen and Jade Billington)

- I really like the feral boys in particular, and the dream team (though i suppose those are sort of interchangeable aren't they :p)

- as well as stuff like that online, I enjoy creative writing, art (mostly digital, though i studied traditional styles), photography, and singing.

- Not just singing, actually - musical theatre is a massive part of my life, and i hope to pursue it as a career one day :))

- I have many musical interests (though none really original, I basically got my entire music taste from mcyt’s lmaooo I'm so unoriginal): glass animals, James Marriott, Quadeca, Khai Dreams, Lovejoy, Wilbur, glaive, Forrest and olivia rodrigo.

thank you for any support, and I can’t wait to see some amazing fanart, and perhaps post some of my own one day if i gain the confidence <33

You truly have converted me to HC! (Sadly I really haven't had time to watch the rest, but I'll get to it eventually.) Honestly after I saw the crater made by the TNT I was like "oh I thought TNT could do much more" because the last time I had seen someone use TNT... it was Grian and he made a giant hole in front of his mansion. But the war was still a great stream. What did you think of it? -cat

hahaha im glad you like hermitcraft lol grian used like 2 double chests full of tnt to make that one crater at the front of his base

i don’t have any takes that haven’t already been said before so this is just me word vomiting and have absolutely 0 regard for english grammar and punctuation.

i really enjoyed the war stream i think it really was worth All of the hype. everyone had their own plotline that tied in with the Overarching Story which was really nice. especially with the dream dethroning eret plot, i thought that was really clever. and it was a Really good way of re-involving eret in the finale even though he’s been away for a lot of the post-election arc.

jschlatt biting the dust was pretty funny and it kind of lulled everyone into a false sense of security, which made the Twist afterwards all the more powerful. like i remember liveblogging and thinking that the battle and the firework rockets were cool and all but is this really how it ends??? with an old man having a heart attack??? i mean ok i guess??? but then wilbur came through and was like no i gotchu fam i Know what this audience Wants To See

wilbur blew up manburg and i Did Not have to delete my dumb is-manburg-blown-up-yet account in Shame. philza joined the game!!! and the first thing he did was kill wilbur!!! p a i n!!! techno’s theseus speech was Fantastic but i really wish people would stop talking over each other. like i know everyone wants to be in the next animatic but if you all talk over each other None of you will also sad-ist is the most influential force on the dreamSMP change my mind.

george building the house is peak comedy it still makes me laugh its up there with 127 year old cats and 39 pokemon. and i saw somewhere that that was actually Written Into the script, which if true is just Genius on their part.

but anyways i took like a 4 day break from content because Apparently My Life Is Still Happening around me. and now i’m once again very behind in a whole bunch of lore. especially ghostbur and jschlatt’s funeral and puffy and connor are now on the server so it’s even more people to keep track of.

i want a technoblade video out of this. like a potato war-esque video. because like he Armed His Opponents before destroying them like. anyways 11/10 would recommend. and my camera roll is just filled with angsty philza + wilbur fanart so.

#cat-26 #sorry for the late reply my head really is empty rn #i started a new minecraft world and i finally finished building my first house #also it's thanksgiving break!!!#but it's starting to look like i have to spend the holiday season Alone so not looking forward to that #hope your week went alright!!!#Anonymous

Me: Is afraid of oversaturating myself with the constant DreamSMP content

Also me: Literally spends half an hour scrolling through fanart the very next morning

It’s a hard knock life.

Anyway, I’ve got some New Year’s Resolutions that are specifically formulated for the era of Covid 19. These resolutions are simply things that I want to do despite the fact that we’re living through a pandemic that has changed the way that we live. Generally, the resolutions are things that I was successful in doing before the pandemic but stopped doing during the summer because I went kind of lax on myself.

New Year’s Resolutions for (the Spring Semester of) 2021

Wash your face every morning

Get dressed every morning

Go on a walk a few times each week

Do a strenuous fitness activity at least once each week

Set a chores schedule and stick to it

Set a homework schedule and stick to it

Read 20 books

In other news, I watched (finished) Soul today with my family and it was really cute! I also watched Netflix’s We Can Be Heroes today and it’s 100% the worst movie I’ve seen in a long time. I knew within the first minute that it wasn’t going to be good when the main character gave names to her shirts. My dad and I thought it was going to be like Sky High (one of my personal favorites), and within the first few minutes I lowered that expectation to the movie possibly being on par with the quality of something like Spy Kids (a cheesy movie, but still one that I enjoy watching quite a bit). I was excited to see Sharkboy and Lavagirl (another one of my childhood favorites) (as well as hearing the little Dream theme ahhhhhh), but was quickly disappointed by the fact that they couldn’t even get a brown-skinned guy to play Sharkboy??? They went and made him whITE of all things. Lavagirl was cool though (apparently she was played by the same actress ahhhhh). ANYWAY Dialogue was bad plot was bad set design was okay characters were all caricatures (there were a few that I liked (I thought the mannerisms of the lady in the burgundy skirt were really cool lol), but I did not like the main character), and, like, there were some things I thought were silly in an enjoyable way, but other things I thought were just plain dumb. dumb dumb dumb dumb stupid bad dumb. I felt like I was being patronized the entire time. Like I was being talked down to. Idk if kids like it then whatever but I was watching Teen Titans at the tender age of... what, seven, maybe? So I feel like most kids will pick up on its badness.

So um, on another note, once I catch up on DSMP stuff, I’m probably going to drown myself in animatics just like I did with CR :D. Heh. Next thing you know I’ll be involved in the fandom. I wish I could do art, but, alas, I shall consume it instead. I haven’t officially stanned anyone, however. You know, once I finish my Jester cosplay (or, at least, most of it), I’m thinking of doing closet cosplays for the DSMP. Like, Dreambounding. Technobounding. SMPbounding? Wilbur/Ghostbur bounding bgjbsdjbkbbjkdf. Yeahh.

Today I’m thankful that I at least didn’t watch that horrid movie alone. I’m also thankful that I’ll never have to watch it again.

SBGJSBVJSVOLBKSVJDKVS I LOVE WILBUR SO MUCH

I’ve got a thing for hair that flops. Not exclusively (I’m also incredibly attracted to black men with dreadlocks), but if your hair flops while you nod vigorously then you should consider filling out one of my boyfriend applications (jk jk... unless). And Wilbur has finally uploaded his view of the Death of Schlatt/Destruction of Manburg event, and despite it being a month late and despite having already watched Techno’s point of view (I also really enjoy Techno’s character lol), I went and watched his because, you know, it’s Wilbur. Video was great, by the way. I know how he became Ghostbur now.

Unfortunately, it pulled me into the reality of how big the DreamSMP is. Like, I could spend days watching all of the content from the different creators involved (at least, all of the ones I like). It’s really just... a lot to take in. Too much for me, if I may be honest. I simply don’t have the time to watch Wilbur and Techno and Dream (does he even livestream?) and George and... Fundy? Tubbo? Not the Innit kid though.

Man. I haven’t had a crush in so long, and suddenly I fall for a Youtuber???? Who doesn’t even live in my country?????????? Not only that, I’m pretty sure he’s five years older than me anyway but DANG if he ain’t cute tho. And his eyes are so nice. I was so sure I was above celebrity crushes, but alas. And now Pinterest has started showing me DreamSMP fanart and I can’t help but pin them skgsbdjkbkj they’re so good. hhhhhhhhhhhhh

HOWEVER I SURE DO HAVE THE TIME TO CATCH UP ON CRITICAL ROLE AND HOLY HECKEROOS I’VE MISSED IT SO MUCH. I’ve been listening to an audio drama (Vast Horizons S1+2, 4.5/5), and I wanted to complete it before I went back to CR but I took too long and the Fjord/Jester kiss was spoiled for me on Pinterest. One fanart is a headcanon. Four is a spoiler. AGH I CAN’T WAIT FOR THAT EPISODE I just love how Laura’s character has a crush on her husband’s character like,,, give me more couples doing DnD please :D. Now, I honestly think that of all the pairings between the CRC2 characters who are single and ready to mingle, Fjord/Jester feels the most likely to not last. Not only has Travis said that he’s not into DnD for the romance roleplay (totally valid!), but I just... compatibility? Now, granted, I’ve never dated anyone so my idea of compatibility could be completely skewed by an idealistic, never-tested form of romance that exists in my head, but... idk idk idk I know that there’s always the chance that crushes can develop into real, long-lasting relationships but like,,, idk. ANYWAY that doesn’t matter bc my girl Jester gonna get KISSED WOO!

Oh and speaking of romance, I might have the dismissive/avoidant attachment style :)))))))))) and I ~don’t know how to go about fixing that~. I don’t think I’ve got it bad, necessarily (after looking up exactly what it means to be dismissive/avoidant following a suggestion from a tik tok), but I think my cynicism toward the idea of romance as the ultimate relationship might have had an effect of this? Or maybe it’s a symptom, not a cause. Now, I’ve neither pursued not have I been pursued by a person for romantic purposes (not to my knowledge, anyway), but I’d like to think that... you know what? This is useless for me to do, especially on my own. Maybe I’m just not feeling the intense psychoanalysis today or maybe it’s just pointless to try to think about this without having any experience in the first place. Besides, it won’t make me happy. I need to put less stock into what tik tok thinks I might have. At this point I think they see me as a bisexual black Christian woman who has anxiety and adhd/add, is currently single, did theatre, likes Star Wars (I literally only liked one video about Star Trek and now I’m on Star Wars tik tok and I don’t know how to leave) and is a burnt-out gifted kid. It’s not all wrong, but it’s certainly not all right either. I think they’re trying to figure out what my attachment to music education is: music major, music education major, choir kid, or band kid. Seems like they’re leaning toward band kid and music education major, but we’ll see where it goes lol.

On a bit of a more bittersweet note, I’ve completed Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD, the first television show I ever followed. I started watching it in middle school with my parents, and I watched the series finale last night with my dad as a college student. It’s actually insane to look back and think about how much all of the characters have changed. Coulson has died many times, Daisy got powers, May became an empath (could still kick butt tho), Jemma and Leopold have finally had their happily ever after. Frankly, I really really really enjoyed the final season. The only thing is that I wish they would have tied in at least the epilogue to the greater Marvel Cinematic Universe. Like, I have no idea whether the series ends pre-snap, how far pre-snap, how involved SHIELD is in the world... nothing except clues. Ah well. It’s been a long road and I’m glad I got on it. I’m also glad we got a proper ending, that the show wasn’t cancelled before their final mission. I’m just... overall I’m just happy with how it ended.

Today I’m thankful that my mom agreed to twist my hair because I certainly was not feeling up to doing so. I need to wait for it to dry, but I think they’ll turn out really nice! These are a ton smaller than anything I’d do, and they took her 2.25 hours to complete, so.

Oh!! I’ve started patterning out the pieces for the Jester cosplay!!!!! I’m using a corset pattern I own, and I’ve just drafted the capelet! All’s looking well, I just need to stop overthinking. It’s just that I don’t know whether I want to use the muslin fabric to make the skirt and chemise or whether I’d prefer to use actual eyelet lace fabric... idk. I’ll have to wait and seeeee.
