IDK I’m Tired

I'm Hermie. Former art student trying to get by. I analyze tropes and fiction too much. I love cartoons and toys and phone games. Agender, they/them.

2023 versus 2008. 

I stored all my old art and writing on deviantart rather than deleting them and I’m glad for that. There’s so much cringe and things that did not age well, but there’s also a lot of creativity and sincerity that I wish I could get back. 

I want this year to be making new discoveries, but also sorting through the past, taking out the trash, saving the rare treasures, and rebuilding for the better. 

I also updated/finished my fanfiction from that time lmao.  It was a next generation fanfiction so it had all of the tropes. 

If you remember me from that time... I’m so sorry. But also thank you. I could tell I had a lot of friends and support and that will never be cringe.

themes commonly found in international friendships

- ‘u dont have (insert food/music/restaurant here) over there??’ - ‘wait what time is it. shouldnt u be asleep’ - alternatively: timezoned/clockblocked again - ‘do u need a hug. have a virtual hug’ - weird slang terms - ‘i will fight everyone thats mean to u. i will fight them rn’ - vague embarrassment regarding ur accent - ‘dont maKE ME COME OVER THERE’ - ‘oh yeah i have a friend who lives in (insert country here) and apparently’ - no real hugs :(( - suffering - fahrenheit vs celsius - the measuring of things in feet fucks one of u up, probably

the “tumblr community invents a whole mafia movie apparently directed by martin scorsese with an official soundtrack, movie posters, screen caps, and all enough to make one question if that movie really did exist at all like a mandela effect” was not part of my 2022 bingo card

are y’all fucking serious right now?? a trailer AND fanfics?? forum threads and meta analysis?? and wtf is up with ebay like WHAT are you selling my dude?? the idea? the joke??

It’s performance art. We are proving that we can, in fact, change the world.

I can feel The dryness of those markers in my bones

Fun fact those dry markers were supposed to have water put into them to make them work. You take off the bottom thing and pour water in and bam, instant marker success. Only learned about this four years after I’d lost my set 🙃

WHAT

Hey. Reblog to save some poor kid lots of grief.
