Ferntasie - Snuggle Seductress

soooo out of practice with my wacom but i want to use it more >_< so i doodled an evangeline

Ok but like. What the fuck is there to do on the internet anymore?

Idk when I was younger, you could just go and go and find exciting new websites full of whatever cool things you wanted to explore. An overabundance of ways to occupy your time online.

Now, it’s just… Social media. That’s it. Social media and news sites. And I’m tired of social media and I’m tired of the news.

Am I just like completely inept at finding new things or has the internet just fallen apart that much with the problems of SEO and web 3.0 turning everything into a same-site prison?

After all, continuing further would be a *grave* offense.

r.i.p. the from far away channel changer thing

steve may not have been breaking entirely new ground when he invented the from-far-away-channel-changer-thing but it was creative and it didn't require batteries and he was so proud of it, the kids had no right to shit on his creation like that

I recently wrote this fanfiction, its the first piece of writing ive finished in a while:

Google Docs

Dwarven-Pressed Coffee/Nilbog

It started off as a silly "what if Laios randomly turned into a girl" and then got really sappy and transgender. I have no idea how good it is its short and i finished it at 3 in the morning.

if there was a Nickelodeon sitcom about a teenager who made a web show about making pastries, it could be called...
