i'm sure it was also because i saw you writing with a mutual, but i followed you because virote is such a good character and your personality is such a breath of fresh air. everything you do here is so tasty, from the graphics to your writing. i love how vi has eras and you change the aesthetics accordingly. i honestly think you're the only person i know doing that. trendsetter! you're such a vibe and a delight to have on my dash. i love hearing about your family and cooking adventures. i love your humor and how versatile virote is. delicious!!
โ ห @choicescreen. meme. still accepting!
it's how i track his growth or lack thereof! i'm a musician and avid music collector of 30 years experience with over 1TB of music in my library and a graphic designer for almost as long. it makes sense that as i write him and as he experiences his highways and sighways that i express his behaviors in how his blog is presented. feel free to click the bolded genres for songs i used on his blogs...... real throwbacks for me...
chillwave / trapwave โ muted, pastel palettes with mauves and taupes that kinda capture that Swagโข era in its typography. unsure, chill, young, finally finding himself.
future funk โ lavender, mint, gold with a lot of naoko takeuchi inspired graphics. the confidence is coming!! future is looking brighter. he's developing into his own person.
breakcore โ dark purple, pink, teal, black. glitched out, windows 95 based grphx. very unhinged moment in his life...
hard trance โ cuntiest era, it's almost that 2000s mcbling with him... however, it was one long manic episode. surprisingly light colors. lot of light blue, cornsilk yellow, and creamsicle orange. but the grphx were rly gritty and borrowed from used record stores.
trip hop / downtempo / sophisti-pop โ current! gen x soft club, down-to-earth futurism. he's very grown and very tired. aesthetics inspired by 90s makeup ads and progressive house compilation album covers. lots of blue. many blues. seafoam green and periwinkle. white. strategic use of space.
these r just a sample, a taste...
im a millennial, i was born in 1991 so i luv y2k and all of its little subcultures. from mcbling to gen x soft club to metal heart. anyway omg ty laney..... hes been around the block and so have i!! im just here to have a kikiiiii with the gworlz. its relaxed over here. and for that, it makes it easier for me to develop virote. and be creative on my own whims. and to have him be digested and understood as a fully realized dummy ass.
even if he kind of sucks.
cuz yea hes a weirdo but u ppl luv him! somehow. idk how cuz i dont love him at all.................................. anyway.
laney ur one of the only ppl on this planet whose taste makes me go AWOOOGAAAAA. ur music, ur shows... ur writing. ur approach to character building. makes me clench my chest. i hope u become big famous and spread ur talents. ur one of the coolest people ever???? ever!! foreva, foreva eva *andre 3000 voice* foreva eva.
its not fair how cool u r lmaaaoooo. i dont even be lookin up to people like that. ur one of the only ppl ive met that im like damn i shouldve been doing something different with myself.
