hey hi welcome all -- hello especially to my trans and nonbinary followers, hope we’re all doing well ^_^ today’s the blog’s birthday!! as of this post going live, assuming tumblr actually does its job, it will have been 2 years since uo’s first post! i wanna just talk about the blog a little because i haven’t talked on here much as of late.

however, before that, i want to just say that i’d like to eventually start releasing video edits to accompany certain edits! i have no idea when this’ll get sorted, but i’m gonna try to get it ready by the turn of the year, so keep an eye out for that! these will mostly just be a single edit with accompanying audio on them, but who knows. maybe i’ll do something more?

in case you choose to not read the stuff below the read more, i just want to say thank you to everyone for supporting the blog over the years, and for continuing to do so! anyways, onto the actual post:

first of all, thank you all SO much for 9000 followers!! it’s over 9000 wow!! ok but seriously, when i first started this blog, i didn’t expect anyone to ever see it. i know it’s a cliche thing to say but i told no one i was making it, i didn’t network to other blogs, i just made a really shitty edit and slapped it up on here, and somehow i got lucky. i’ve made over 800 edits as of today’s post, and that’s just the ones i’ve posted! fun fact, if i’d never mass-posted my backlog in august, i would’ve ran out literally days ago. that’s how much content i try to stay ahead on.

second of all, i kinda wanna take a moment to say that i’m sorry about the lack of requests being fulfilled -- both recently and in the past. i edit in batches, and prioritize content i need for scheduling purposes, but sometimes requests get kinda forgotten in the shuffle, or i don’t really have much in the way of ideas for it, so i shelve it and hope i can come back to it later... which i very rarely do. 😔 going to try and catch up on a couple of ones i have and feel free to send in more! i know i don’t really interact as much on here as i probably should, but i love getting asks and requests and i read the notes on my posts frequently so. thank you for being there!

third of all, the future of the blog. so, i want to make this clear now -- uo’s not going anywhere! i don’t intend on changing the blog at all, if anything i’d want to add onto it. i post 3 times a day now currently, with intermittent unplanned posts at off-times, mostly reblogs of others’ edits. however, weirdcore is probably not forever and i am kinda thinking about where this blog could go in the future. i’ve considered opening a redbubble, ko-fi or patreon, as a way to support myself financially (i take virtually every photo used on this blog, and use very little outside content esp. in these newer edits) but i am uncertain about it. i could also try branching out my image editing into other styles or something, but idk what! what would you guys like to see? i’ve considered actually talking on the blog more, transitioning to having text posts be a major part of the blog, but i’m not quite sure about how they’d be received. let me know if you want to see anything on here! -- relatedly since we’re mentioning blogs, check out @dreamlink3d as i’m still working on it :)

one last thing actually, for those who choose to read the read more, enjoy the secret -- before i had to go on hiatus in august, i was working on trying to attach songs to specific uo edits, for a compilation album of some kind. i ended up running them through a site that just attaches audio to an uploaded images in ...ways i don’t understand, BUT the end results were so fun, i edited and compiled them into 2 “albums”! i don’t consider them my own work as i didn’t make the audio, and they won’t be used in the upcoming stuff, but you can listen to them here [1] and here [2] ! click on a song title to see its associated edit btw!

i know i said the last thing was the last but i just remembered actually, i want to say like. it’s weird being one of the “first” weirdcore blogs to really hit its stride, and one of the only from that time to still be around and actively posting. cahwwcabh is deactivated and they were a huge influence on me and wc as a whole, sanfor has deactivated, shwenthe/hazy/dragon/hauntedearth/a lot more tbh have more or less gone inactive, godenteredmybody and pirate-flavor still post intermittently, and most of the active blogs now are a newer set that i didn’t ever meet in my time in weirdcord. it’s weird but cool in a way! i really like the newer set of editors tbh, and i hope that me supporting them encourages people to check them out. in general this whole section is meaningless but idk i felt like vocalizing it. it’s a weird feeling watching all your peers more or less move on while you stay behind and see a new wave of artists take their place more or less. anyways, i just hope that my edits still bring happiness and meaning to the people who see them :)

ok NOW i’m done. sorry for the wall LMAO i just felt like actually saying something for once on here. btw i’ve been doing a lot better since i got back from hiatus, i hope you (yes you, the reader of this post) are doing well too -- i know this blog tends to lean heavily on negative emotions, and as such it kinda attracts people who are troubled -- so i feel like i gotta check in every once in a while LMAO. i hope life is being kind to you, thank you so much, and have a lovely day <3.

#not edits #hii there's goodies in the read more but it's also really long so GWRKLWRH #no worries if you don't read it <3 take care

Things are getting closer to us finally moving out. I think the work will be pretty much finished by early on next week. After he’s finished the flooring which he’s nearly done - all but one room. There’s only small jobs to do a fair few of them but nothing major left so it won’t take that long. I’m getting excited but also nervous and a lot of anxiety because its a big change and there’s a lot of stressors in my life right now that could be agitated and made worse by the move. On the other hand there’s also triggers that can be avoided once I move so I may find myself having less breakdowns due to being out of an environment that isn’t always the best for my mental health. It means we have to start sorting through everything today so we can get packing and loading everything onto the van for when we are ready to move. I managed to get the larger appliances ordered. The fridge freezer should arrive this Sunday. Unfortunately due to issues the tumble dryer is on preorder but I was expecting that after what someone had told me about issues in manufacturing many companies are having at the moment. So anyways we’ve got the major bits ordered at least well besides the bed and sofa after that it’s just smaller items or items that I need but I don’t need them to move in, you know I really just needed the fridge and bed frame to move in. I can get the other stuff in later but can’t really live without some kind of fridge or a bed or something to sleep on. I spent enough years sleeping on a mattress on a hard wooden floor and never again. Not sure what to do with myself today I’m waiting on a phone call from my Dr later about my blood test results and that’s it really. Oh we do have to make a start on sorting out our stuff although I’m not sure if that will actually happen today or if we’ll get that much done if we do start it. But other than that I don’t have a ton to do I have things I could be doing but they don’t have to be done by today so I have options…choices to be made. I could start looking into some of the other items we need for the house or I could do something to make progress with my different stuff like I need to post another poem onto my Medium to maintain my paid partner status with them. They released some new rules on that last year so now to get paid per read you’ve gotta hit a few different requirements which is fine I’ve just been slow at uploading my work from Vocal to Medium. It’s not like I have to write anything new I’m still transferring my published works from Vocal to Medium and they make it very easy to do transfer the works across as well so I’m just sort of being lazy and procrastinating it I guess. I could also do some more Redbubble work upload some new designs to it or I could go onto twitter and here and promote my tumblr or my poetry or whatever really and try and drum up some sales for my stuff or affiliate link sales. I could also just sit back and relax and play some games on my phone which btw actually earns me money I’m about to earn $35 for playing a free to play game on my phone because i hit a certain level within the 14 day time limit tomorrow the money will be gone from pending to credited to my account which I’m hoping it does get credited and it all goes well. If so I’ll continue using the site for sure because that’s some good money. Not all games pay that high not too many do but they have some higher offers on their front page so I will probably try work my way through them first.

I’m just feeling very sajfllfjlkd at the moment I guess. I know I’ve been very in my head lately with my thoughts, mostly thoughts about the past repeating itself when I move & its bringing up a lot of memories that make me very sad and angry about how I was treated by my mental health team and the main concerns I guess is when I move I’ll be transferred to a new mental health team because I’m going out of area for my current one. This means I could end up with someone as negligent as I had at my current one (I dont have them anymore got moved to a different psych but at the same place so still the same team just the psych was different. I made an official complaint and they came out and did a review blah blah blah it was a whole thing).

But yeah I guess that’s playing on my mind a lot. The anxiety of the unknown, they could be lovely or they could see my diagnoses and think oh no and stigmatise me based on a label as I have a very heavily stigmatised disorder so oh well what can you do, not much really.
