This is the art section, but more to go into detail. It is really more of the "archived art" section. At present, I consider myself to be very project-oriented in my online identity; however, I just love art.
So, this is for archives of old writings, OC pages, etcetera. It is a bit vibes-based. These are often behind on updates.
Afro Surrealism Manifesto - The Afrosurreal Manifesto by D Scott Miller. Reading this made me feel like I wasn't absolutely insane, and it is the only "label" I really feel suits me as a storyteller.
Afro Surrealism Is Dead (And It's About Damn Time) - The author of the Afro Surreal Manifesto created this article in which he (rightfully) complains about the mainstream's handling of the term. To me, this article does a good job showing how modern counterculture becomes mainstream and is taken over by wealthy people who never acknowledge early innovators of the counterculture. However, you know... this article is a long line of pieces in the tradition of major figures and early pioneers of countercultures complaining about their evolution... I have complex feelings on this article and these sorts of works as an indie artist, but it did inspire me to make these buttons.
Tyoma's "The Curse Of Being A Teenage Girl" - This is an article about Tyoma's experiences growing us as a teenage girl. Some of it felt like looking in a mirror, and I deeply connected with it.
Good News, The Internet As We Know It May Be Doomed by Suboptimalism - I really enjoy reading suboptimalism's writings and this is one of my favorites. This article is about how the current state of the internet likely won't last forever for several reasons. I am looking forward to the future of the internet
Toby Fox's Secret Base Volume 4: Yume Nikki - This is a translation of Toby Fox's 'interview' with Kikiyama. It also has some of Toby Fox's thoughts on RPG Maker games. This is a favorite of mine for obvious reasons

Create Something Terrible by Bikobatanari - This is an article about creating terrible art and how in a world where professionals and hobbyists share the same spaces, it's important to continue making things we want to make. It really reached me, and although I want to respect Bikobatanari's desire to go offline, I do wish this article was still public. Bikobatanari has several other fabulous writings as well.
