I'm 30 and planning to make the next 30 years better

Defunctland dropped this video essay and I swear to god these two would've been all over this video

Where has the time gone?

I had a lot of ideas that I wanted to do for an anniversary pic, but lately it's been getting harder to find motivation to draw with my struggles in finding a job and being an adult. And it's been very discouraging when it seems like other people in my life have their stuff handled better than I do...

But when I went to my DeviantArt page to find my original FNAF art, I realized that ten years ago I'm in a better mental state than back then:

I was 19. I didn't have a clue what I wanted to do after high school; I struggled to maintain friendships both close to home and long distance; I struggled to process the grief of a relative who had recently died; and I had gender dysphoria before realizing it was gender dysphoria.

And in the darkest moment, FNAF was there.

I didn't expect to be suddenly a part of a community, but people were engaging with me for my fanart; and the next thing I knew we were theorizing what was going to happen in the games; other people were making beautiful music; some of us went to make their own fangames and a few others went off and reshaped horror games and indie animation as a whole.

And when I felt isolated from the world during a pandemic, the FNAF community found me again on Tumblr when I made a Michael Afton who was (and has always been) a projection of the kind of guy I wanted to be

And then FNAF showed me I was trans (sorry, Steven Universe showed me I was gay)

I may be struggling financially, but I'm so much happier with myself physically and mentally thanks to a man who made a game out of pure fucking sprite. And if he could make a literal multi million dollar franchise from his struggles, then I can too; I just need to keep pushing forward.

He's not really popular, but he's sarcastic, but he's not really blunt about things either since he knows things can be phrased better. He's a lot more passive-aggressive and sarcastic if he's really upset, but he's not really unlikable either since he's well-meaning deep down - he's just very sheltered and doesn't really have any friends to be with (he'd love to have them but his past haunts him so much that he had just given up on that end) so he's just with his dad most of the time (which is. NOT ideal but Mike doesn't know that. He's just clinging to the only semblance of his family he has left).

I’ve never drawn this guy digitally apparently I’ll have to do that soon.

But I also forget I have an Alive AU, so that Michael is less traumatized and more like an adult because he willingly goes to therapy

Literally and figuratively~

Due to the recent news of Instagram & Meta now implenting free reign to use any user’s posts for training their AI and a friend’s recent experience being rejected from opting out from Meta doing this to their art, I’m joining other artists to use Cara.

Nothing much will change since Tumblr is my largest audience and I haven’t posted a lot of my recent art on Instagram, but if the time comes a lot of my art from my main account as well as my side accounts from Insta may be removed from there and re-uploaded to here, Patreon or Cara if necessary!

Feel free to follow me on Cara in the meantime!
