Yes, I'm confirming it now, I did go to Stuyvesant High School.
hi guys, today's my brother's birthday, everyone wish him a happy birthday. anyways i really didn't have a reason to make this post, but here goes.
if you don't know what stuyvesant high school is, that's fine, you don't need to. if you do know what it is, then great, you'll know how prestigious it is. i already hinted at this in my aug 2022 post, but here's an official confirmation.
and i'm surprised no one realized sooner. the path traced out in this post perfectly lines up with the area around the school. and the photos in this post were literally taken from inside the school.
one thing i valued really highly was my ability to balance both my school life and my tumblr blog (i'm surprised i managed to do so in hindsight). the 2020 pandemic definitely made it easier, as my 10th and 11th grade years were now spent in front of a screen where i could be online all day.
i graduated as a pretty average student academically, although the one thing i regret is not utilizing the available resources as well as i could've.
the reason i had a public meltdown on tumblr in jun 2022 is because i was scared to make much the same post you're reading right now. i was going to college and couldn't stay active online for much longer, and i wanted to do a face reveal and quit tumblr for good (the quote "you either die a hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain" greatly informed my actions during this time).
but many months have passed since then, i've been allowed time to reflect, and i realized that– i'm not a two-dimensional character. i don't die at the peak of my fame. i'm still alive.
i still hold the value of an education in high regard, though that may sound cheap coming from someone who poured hours a day into an online fandom. it's just... my story is one you can learn from, not one to be replicated. stay in school.
will i be returning to using this blog regularly? probably not. i realize there's nothing here for me to have fun doing anymore, and mineblr is a shadow of its former glory—no matter now much i wish for it to be otherwise.
maybe i'll reconsider when deltarune ch. 3 comes out. or if minecraft has a second renaissance. or if the GD community takes off here, or better yet, if update 2.2 comes out. or if the walten files ep. 4 comes out. could you imagine that?
anyways, i'll leave you with a few additional fun facts you might not have known:
the minecraft server from this reblog (OP is sketiana) and elaborated on in these posts was actually the Stuyvesant Minecraft Coalition server
i appeared on my school website's home page one time, wearing my halloween costume.
if you ever visit the school, you can find a poster i made on the 4th floor (on the wall behind the escalator). it has my sideblog sona on it
one final request, please don't use my real name or do anything with my real face. also, please don't try anything that could jeopardize my real-life location. i know i'm operating on an honor system here, but i genuinely mean it. everything i willingly shared was because it was a story too important to pass up.
i hope i've tied up all loose ends. thank you, and i'll catch you on the flipside.
for some reason the scientific name of dog being Canis familiaris makes me so emotional. like from the genus you know it’s a canine, but once you see the species name it needs no introduction. you know who it is already. it’s man’s best friend
scientists scream and cling on to me as i run through the facility to the Universal Clock. i break the glass and grab the hour hand, rewinding it. the sun starts to rotate in the sky so fast that all the planets in space are flung out of orbit
while srpelo has a lot of support on tumblr from people who drew fanart of him, i can see why he left. he was really growing into his own at this point, and up until now he only presented himself as the short sona with a huge afro. after this he would present himself more with the lanky design, and start streaming more which showed his real face. his “underpants” series had crossed over from the realm of talent to nostalgia, and by the time the “spooky month” series took off, his tumblr days were long behind him.
and just look at this animation! can’t you say this was made by a conceptually different person than the one on tumblr in 2016?
Continuing my streak of speedrunning Exit Path with a new fastest time: a 3:23, over 30 seconds faster than the previous run I posted!
(warning: the "flow-tapping" may cause loud sounds)
Again, if you don't know "Exit Path," I played this Flash game from 2010 when I was a kid, so I was surprised to find it still had a small speedrunning community. Many of the records were 10 years old, but some were achieved just last year.
Also, my run beats out @zedneon's record from 2021 by over 15 seconds ;)
