You know, the worst part about Gmod being in the spotlight today is not the takedowns of content or people being mad about it.

It's the fact that it's been reopening an old wound that has stuck with me for a while now. Something I've been trying to forget for a while now.

Let's just say, I don't exactly have sympathy for the Gmod community because of it. If you ever wonder why I'm so reserved on the internet anymore, let's just say being a neurodivergent and that fact becoming public to a server you're playing on do not mix in the slightest... I still have a hard time speaking on a mic and am super self conscious of my old voice because of it.

I was in a discussion where this was brought up, and and genuinely curious to see people's thoughts on it.

Besides the Sonic fandom, have you been bothered by any other large fandoms?

I am 30 years old I am generally bothered by most large fandoms

I'm actively losing my patience with Tumblr as a media host site. A lot of stuff I used to be able to upload without issue are now having it crunched to all hell or it doesn't want to upload anymore. :/

Hey. Incase anyone has been wondering where I've been, you can blame Tumblr for not letting me upload my latest project directly to the site. Apparently the file size is too big... Despite the fact that I've uploaded much larger pieces to this site before. :/

In the meantime, I'm still posting to dA since it's letting me upload it there.

Have you heard about Akira Toriyama passing away?

Kind of impossible not to. The man had an indescribably huge impact on pop culture on a level that very few living artists are anywhere close to. I can't say I was ever the most diehard fan of Dragon Ball (although I do like Dragon Ball), but manga and anime would not be the same without him. His influence is everywhere. And the number of artists in my generation whose lives were changed forever by catching DBZ on Toonami growing up is staggering. A lot of my favorite stories ever would not exist if their creators hadn't been inspired by Toriyama in the first place.

For me it was his influence on the world of video games, though, that really makes his loss hit hard. Chrono Trigger is a foundational text to me. I only fully grew to appreciate Dragon Quest as an adult after having only played a bit of it as a teenager, but it was absolutely a big influence on SLARPG, both directly and indirectly. I was straight up looking to Toriyama's monster designs and illustrations for inspiration at times. But even beyond that, like... the JRPG genre would not exist without Dragon Quest, and while I've got nothing but respect for Yuji Horii, I'm not sure Dragon Quest would've been the smash hit it was without Toriyama's instantly appealing artwork all over it. Without Toriyama, would we even have Final Fantasy, or Mother, or Pokemon, or countless other games following in Dragon Quest's footsteps? And that's not even getting into all the games that were influenced by Toriyama's manga, not the least of which is Sonic.

It's surreal that he's gone. It's hit me harder than I thought it would, honestly. Really left me with a lot of thoughts about the legacies artists leave behind.

That moment when you realize you've been doing flat colors the hard way for the two years you've own Clip Studio Paint.
