Cereal Has Problems

I'm honestly sick and tired of people that think the marshmallow-type cereals should just be the dried marshmallows and nothing else. Do you not understand just how disgusting that would be? The neutral bits are there to add texture so that the marshmallows don't feel like you're biting into sugar styrofoam, which is literally what all dried marshmallows are. 

Have you seen the narrative Vat19 is pushing? Are they not satisfied enough peddling giant ass gummy bears and giant ass gummy worms and giant ass gummy bears spicy edition? 

Well apparently not cause they made this shit. Like actually what the fuck. I'm not even doing a bit here, this makes me furious. This is the nastiest image I have ever seen and it makes my teeth feel so uncomfortable I have to occasionally look away and imagine water.


And of course they have to be a little cheeky about it. Because they know deep down selling this unironically is a deeply shameful and dishonorable act. And good, they should be ashamed of themselves. I hope their teeth rot.

It's like if Chocolate Chex was just chocolate. That'd be too much fucking chocolate. Part of the reason why I love Chocolate Chex so much is BECAUSE they add that extra layer of normalcy. Not to mention, the chocolate parts turn the milk into chocolate and said chocolate milk blends into the regular Chex, so you're going to have a nice chocolate bite either way. If it was ALL chocolate, the flavor would be overbearing. I get some people are into that but I'm certain they're ontologically evil. 

What is wrong with cereal? It's a genre of food that just seems to have a problem. If cereal was a person I would be checking up on it to make sure they weren't hurting themselves. There is never a cereal that has it all figured out. You might think some do, but you'd be wrong. 

A long while ago I saw this in store shelves and I almost gagged imagining the taste. I just know that "filling" is a white crusty thimble of fake vanilla that is only moistened to the exposure of milk. I hate imagining it so much. It genuinely makes my skin crawl. 

Don't get me started of novelty cereals. Novelty cereals are the worst. Don't trust any food that is mainly based on novelty, it will for certain give you diarrhea. How do I know this? Well.

It wasn't even good either. I think being American is a mental disorder. 

Journal: Eye Exam

Me after my wonderous and splendid eye exam.

I had an eye exam today. If there are any typos, it is because right now I have become far-sighted due to the dilation solution they put into my eyes! It was interesting and apparently I hadn't had a proper eye exam in forever. Perhaps I never had one in the first place but I've done eye chart stuff before... although I do not remember having to put solutions in my eyes so maybe it truly is my first time. 

First thing I had to do was look into a little tube and look at a weird photo. Looked like a path on a hill with a weird exploding firework symbol in the middle. It was like instead of the hot air balloon or little red house you normally see it was something else. Weird. That's one of the few things I know they do in eye exams anyway. 

Later they put eye drops into my eyes that'd dilate them and stuff. It felt incredibly weird. The first ones stung and I had to blink a bunch to get the stinging sensation away and immediately it was like my eyes were morphing or something. My eyelids felt heavy and it made my eyeballs feel like huge cartoonish globes. Which was nice but also a bit scary. We then had to wait for a while which made me feel super antsy and I was kicking my feet and shit. 

Afterwards they told me I have an astigmatism. Damn! But thankfully after other inspections, nothing else was out of the ordinary. I could read that little eye chart perfectly. We decided afterwards that even though nothing really was wrong that it would probably be wise to get some glasses for whenever I'm looking at a computer since I'm someone that stares at screens a lot because of my hobbies and interests. I got some food after and now I'm at home writing this.

Anyway, I'm going to look up eye exam memes and laugh really hard.

This shit sucks, nevermind.  

Ratking and the Blog Troubles

So, I had written up a pretty long post for this blog. I managed to finish it today, so I posted it. Guess what fucking happened? Stupid ass website ends up posting an earlier draft of the post and I lose all my progress on the latter half of the goddamn thing I was writing up. Fuck me. I'm not even sure how this happened but it makes me so angry. There was so much in there that's now gone to waste, I'll probably need to rewrite it all but it definitely won't have the same effect. 

Why's everything have to be so damn stressful? 

Introduction & Why Blogspot?

It's very nice to meet you, welcome to the first post on my official blog! If you're here, you most likely know me for my art and writing. Here are two examples of mine:

My most recent complete piece as of writing, fanart of Eriko Christy from Illbleed.

A portion of SCP-8060 - Toontown that I wrote.

A lot of my work tends to focus around very cartoonish and hypnogogic events with a leaning towards surreal horror. I am inspired by all sorts of things, but my main inspirations have to come from my experiences with online horror when I was really young. The pangs of fear I'd get from specific low quality imagery, uncertain if what I was looking at was real or not. There are certain experiences you can get online that you just can't from something like a show or movie. A strange improvisational quality that can either hinder or improve a work. Either way, it's super interesting. 

There was even a period of time where I ran a Tumblr 'aesthetic blog' called lostfootagefoundepisode that consisted of a large collection of various screenshots, gifs, videos and audio fragments relating to web horror. Mostly creepypasta, indie horror games and weird experimental web stuff that fit itself neatly into that niche of online horror. It was fairly light-hearted and even began more as a joke blog, but overtime I just started using it to dump various photos and tag them with any "-core" I could think of at the time, a practice I overall regret participating in nowadays. Core suffix aesthetics are often muddled and confused, barely able to be accurately categorized by anything but vibes.

*sniff* They grow up so fast...

It was nice, aside from all the dead bodies I had to see. That wasn't a joke by the way.

I wanted to create a blog because I've never really had a space where I could express myself that wasn't limiting or distracting in some way. Social media has been getting worse for me every year. I plan on making a website soon. The sad part is just that I have little to no coding knowledge and am easily frustrated by that sort of thing. I have friends that can help though.

So why did I pick Blogspot (Note: I do not like the name Blogger) for this blog?

It's simple. Blogspot is a very nostalgic website for me. There's something really comforting about it and I'm surprised I hadn't looked into using it sooner. The atmosphere of these customizable template blogs has always fascinated me. I really like playing with the almost utilitarian and gaudy feel that these sorts of website templates tend to have. From brutalist and stifling to lurid and garish. I could spend hours playing with anything customizable.

Y'know, funny thing, Hyperbole and a Half is a Blogspot site. That was a huge influence on me artistically growing up and I still think of the Alot whenever I see that typo. 

This blog will be used to post updates involving my projects, various miscellaneous thoughts, reviews, experiences... just about anything goes really. Just a space where I can ramble and not have to worry about making it too overtly presentable. I may touch upon disturbing topics, so content warnings will be applied at the beginnings of posts in those cases. NSFW topics will also be tackled occasionally, you've been warned. 

I have a bad habit of sometimes starting projects and dropping them as soon as they get too difficult for me, which has been compacted terribly by my several mental health issues. I'm hopeful that this blog will help me come to terms with that a bit, giving me something to do in the meantime that doesn't feel like too much of a commitment. A way I can express myself that doesn't stress and exhaust me.

I hope you can all join me on this new adventure... onwards to Blogspot...

What. Can someone get this ugly fucking animal off the Blogspot logo, I don't know how to get it off. Jesus Christ it's drooling. Please someone get rid of this thing or I'm going to have a panic attack.
