Why do I have such strong feelings for film?
No, really. Honest question. I don’t know. I’m not sure why. It’s just, I have these insanely strong emotions when it comes to film and cartoons.
Like, not even individual films, just the entire medium. I love all types of art, but there’s something about film that I feel inherently connected to. I see a reel of film or an animation cell and I legitimately get emotional about it. Damaged nitrate film makes me genuinely sad. I get tingles when I see the circular countdown numbers and hear the pips. Seeing film restoration documentaries make me cry more than ones about saving kids in third world countries. I know, I’m horrible, but I have more immediate feelings for film than other human beings.
Don’t get me wrong I love living things too, and yes okay I would save the puppy from the fire before the two-reeler if I had to choose, but I don’t know if I would save me before it. I’m not even being dramatic, I’m being pragmatic. Maybe it’s because I’ve always had trouble understanding what reality is, or, rather, how people decide what is real. I remember having a real argument with an adult (I can’t remember who) when I was a kid about cartoon characters being real. They kept telling me that they weren’t, but I couldn’t accept that; because both of us knew who they were, what they were like, how they spoke and felt and what they’d done, and more people knew about that person than about either of us. That character was known to the world, and influenced it. To me, that meant that we were less real than the character, and I think I still believe that- we’re certainly less permanent.
Anyway I don’t know why this came up I just had a really weird night’s sleep and sometimes I have feels about things.
Nnnnnnn I’m too much of a coward to do the donation button thing and I’d feel guilty and I’m scared of anything even vaguely related to bureaucracy and urgh.
MAYBE

I’LL THINK ABOUT IT
FOR A FEW MONTHS PROBABLY
Oh wow this is cool and hell how is it quarter past midnight damn I am going to bed.
A little TLDR spree, don’t mind me.
Just an observation that’s niggled me for a while, I guess.
I’ve just been catching up on a bunch of webcomics that I read, and occasionally I would delve down into the comments.
I know, I know, you’re already saying; Mod, really, comments? What do you expect? This is the internet. Reading the comments and then complaining is like sticking your hand in a blender and then wondering why your fingers are so short.
It’s okay, I’m not talking about hate or creepers or anything like that, but it’s something that I’ve seen all over the place, and it just, I don’t know, I’ve never understood it.
It’s the people that will find that one mistake; that one tiny, insignificant continuity flaw that the artist has missed (a seam here, a pocket there, a flower with a different number of petals from before), and they jump at it like a rabid piranha that hasn’t seen a side of meat for a month. Sometimes it’s passive aggressive “hey what happened to the ***? snark snark”, or just overt waving of the hand “OH HEY MISS, MISS YOU DID THAT WRONG, HEY EVERYONE LOOK THEY DID IT WRONG”, and I just find it morbidly fascinating.
Do people actively enjoying doing that? Do people actually spend time looking for these mistakes? It’s like going to a museum hoping to find some crack in a marble statue to insert a crowbar into it. Stranger still, when they find a mistake (and it is inevitable that there will be mistakes to find), it’s as if they expect some sort of reward, or feel some sort of achievement for having found it.
Does anyone else see how bizarre this is? Or is it just me? Is it just me that marvels at this obsessive scrutiny that ultimately does nothing save make the artist feel bad about themselves, whilst this hoarder of misplaced artifacts revels in some sad, distant, sardonic glee at having triumphed once again against the person creating what they (presumably) love? Or why else would they be looking at it in the first place?
I don’t know, I’ve just never understood it. I don’t think it makes me angry, I’m not sure what it makes me, bewildered? Disappointed, perhaps. It just strikes me as a fantastic example of why humans are and always will be complete idiots.
Yours truly included, mind you.
In conclusion;
Hey so I’m bushed and going to get some eats, but would anyone want to spoil the next page of TPoH for themselves by watching me livestream later? In like, maybe, an hour and a half or something?
Or idk maybe I could draw something else but I suck at sketching digitally
