despite it all, I'll continue Image 1 ...
March 16th! Where did the time go? Maybe it’s going faster because I’ve been getting busier with school and going on less exploring. Utrecht Less exploring doesn’t mean none. A friend invited me on a day trip to Utrecht last Saturday, and a day trip is definitely enough. If you’re not a Miffy fan there’s not much to do other than walk the streets and visit the cathedral and the library. Actually,…
February's over, it’s too soon! I have more or less settled into a routine, settled into life here… but there’s still much to do! Antwerp We had a week long break, so I spent 3 days in Antwerp followed by a day trip to Amsterdam. It’s been 2 separate day trips and I’m starting to think a day really isn’t enough to explore all of Amsterdam. On the other hand you can actually see all you need to see…
Very obvious big changes recently, as an example I’m currently typing this on the train to Antwerp for a 3 day solo trip. A first out of many firsts. My first exchange, my first time in Europe, my first time living alone, my first time surrounded by so many different people. All exciting, but in a very typical “first time” way that I’m not sure I can elaborate on for very long lol. Another first:…
I’m flying off in 3 days and I’m antsy, so I’m posting this blogpost a little early since I’ll be out the whole day tomorrow anyway. Sunday at SCAPE: Ground Loops, Labour Block, and Consensual Hacking workshop When I saw in the SFPC newsletter that they were coming to Singapore I was like no wayyyy lol. I enjoyed the Ground Loops exhibition, but that might just be because I missed going to…
I saw online people commenting that the first few episodes are the most interesting and the idea gets kind of stretched thin near the end. I can kinda see that, the first half of the season are the ones most focused on exploring what kind of world Pluribus inhabits. It was certainly cathartic to see Carol enter it, guns blazing with American individualist ideology, and then immediately get shut…
The true purpose of this blog… mundane life updates. Since I don’t have to attend any classes until I leave for my exchange I’ve mostly been biding my time preparing for it. Buying winter clothes is a big one. Thought I’d be able to get by fine and then the Netherlands has its worst snowstorm in years lol. Hoping for it to become manageable by February, and also just generally hoping for the…
Recently while watching a bunch of old FNAF YouTube videos, me and my sister found this YouTube channel, riko16riko16 . From what I can gather they mainly make FNAF animations and mvs in SFM. Their videos are, for lack of better words, awesome. Just utterly creative and inspiring work. What I specifically noticed about them is the way the animatronics are animated in a very “human” way. That is,…
Obviously CW for discussions of child abuse , and movie spoilers I guess. It feels somehow very silly and also very appropriate to put this warning on a blogpost talking about Five Nights at Freddy’s To preface: I was a huge fan of FNAF when I was young, my interest waned after the 2nd game and has been on and off since then. I am completely biased towards these movies. I don’t consume them…
Last year I made a cute little interactive reflection piece . I don’t have any ideas for one this year, so a blogpost will do. Despite lacklustre updates on my website (or for any online presence other than on Pixel Cat’s End), I have actually been very productive creatively this year! As a quick summary: Did artfight for the first time this year with 18 attacks! Participated in a local summer…
The other day I was watching my sister scroll through Instagram, and this reel came up on her feed. ignore that the screenshot is from Tiktok instead I didn’t think much of the painting at first, but sitting with it for 5 seconds ended up pulling me down a rabbit hole of considering artmaking in an automated world. So sit with me for a second. ifyourereadingthisitsallsaid (2023), oil on canvas,…
