🐬 atlantic-potion Follow

but they were right about "tubular", you can't deny it

🐠 reeffraff Follow

yes i absolutely can. "tubular"? are you kidding me? any fry on the sandbar could come up with that one. "tubular" is the word you would use to describe a coral and nothing else. it's lame. you have the linguistical taste of a tongue parasite.

[juanasfanart]

just realized that theyre like the characters from that one aimkid animation so i make this

[kisiel-z-kosmosu]

I painted the small test print of addsion (that somehow wasn't lost) and now I have this weird matrioshka ^^

I'm painting lots of stuff in general. I don't like uaing traditional mediums (sooo annoying and my hands are all in dots from washing off paint), but I love to have physical arts to much to stop me.

Lemon demon looking as he was caught in a crime scene xd.

Wish me luck with making that flower pot for a friend sealed safe for plants.

Still sour over a fact that i bought pack of 24 markers, thinking that they are all-surface and acrylic, but they were a normal markers on the same shelf and nearly indentical box.

What the heck guys, no way Mammon just literally growled at me. XDD lmao because why is this so freaking funny.

My problem with the Will Wood fandom, (a.k.a touch grass, a.k.a stan culture can suck it) (an essay.)

This one is LONG and a DOOZY, so buckle up if you like to read.

just want to clarify, i do NOT hate the will wood fandom in itself. AT ALL. I love you guys (/p)

i just dislike the people who say weird and creepy shit. if that doesnt apply to you, cool! but tell the people who do that shit to knock it off.

NO DISCOURSE IN THE REBLOGS I WILL ATTACK YOU

One HUGE gripe I have with the Will Wood fandom is how some of you guys treat Will Wood like (and this is literally the only way I can put this that isn't too serious) some all-powerful deity of knowledge that you would kill AND die for. In this essay, I will explain why [some of] you are fucking creeps.

Will Wood. Where do I begin. For the very few who are unaware, Will Wood is a singer-songwriter who makes very strange avant garde whatchamacallit evil jazz/swing music. He has been known as Will Wood since 2015, where he released his first album, Everything Is A Lot, under the name Will Wood and the Tapeworms.

Me personally, I first heard of him from the song Dr. Sunshine Is Dead, from the good old days of 2018 animation meme Youtube.

Ever since the inevitable Tiktokification of the song I / Me / Myself, from The Normal Album, the Will Wood fandom has become... well.. full of children. I have no place to speak, of course, because I myself, am a teenager, but I'm talking like. 11-14 year olds.

11-14 year olds who are all fucking INSANE.

Will Wood has been put in what I like to call;

The Holy Trinity.

This being the big three artists who the mentally ill queers (like me) listen to.

Lemon Demon, Tally Hall, and of course, Will Wood.

Being in this holy trinity has both done him good, and bad. On the positive side, yay!! More streams, more plays, more people to appreciate the craft, and more people who like the music! On the negative side, now you have an army of children listening to adult music, interacting with adult music and music videos, who are willing to do ANYTHING to get your attention, because they are young and don't know much better.

And here, stuck in the middle of it all, is poor William.

Stuck as a straight "gay icon," in a sea of twelve year olds.

Well shit.

---

Leading to the second part of my half-essay.

2020. The year shit changed for Will Wood. The Normal Album was released, and people found themselves relating to I / Me / Myself, as stated before. Then this "new," unheard of fandom was kind of birthed upon Tiktok. They were treating him like fucking jesus.

Which is weird.

They were sad, gay, looking for answers, and found them in Will's music. Which is like. Cool!

But when people were saying that he was trans, and then switched up and said he was making fun of trans people?

Yeah. Not that cool actually.

Coming back to the present now, Will has stated how weird these kids are.

In a response from a AMA for In Case I Make It on the official Will Wood subreddit, (I know. Ew, gross, Reddit, but this post was what inspired me to make this in the first place, so,) Will says this:

---

"When I was living in the sticks along the Delaware during the pandemic, I had this weird sort of mystical thing going on inside my head that was trying connect dots in my life and turn meaningless nothing things into signs that I would die.

This was happening around the same time I was dealing with getting actual public attention for the first time, and was living in an area where nobody wore masks, and was living with people who were at risk of serious covid complications if they caught it. Also for most of it I was the dreaded 27, and having been a bit of a junkie in my younger years and an idiot with a barely-treated psychiatric wreck in my brain for most of the ones following it, it was not unlike me to assume I'd die young.

It just seemed too perfect.

As I was dealing with the reception of the normal album (my first truly scathing reviews, I/Me/Myself "discourse," being the subject of conversation on a larger scale) which was beyond what I was prepared for psychologically in terms of its scope and type, my anxious rumination started to veer toward genuine paranoia.

I started thinking that I would die by my own hand or be murdered by one of these crazed Will Wood fans in the dead of night. So I didn't sleep like ever, I lost a bunch of weight and couldn't gain it back for a while, I freaked out a whole bunch and I'm surprised looking back I never lost my sobriety or whatever.

Since it started to look more and more like cosmic fact that I was doomed, I started to feel greater and greater desperation to get out these songs that I had been quietly writing over the previous year or two. Songs I'd written while going through a big breakup and wrestling with rotten parts of me that were finally accessible due to my finally being properly medicated and dealing with the real shit in therapy. And then songs I'd written as I went through these changes."

---

Obviously that is a lot to unpack for a Tumblr essay, but since you’re this far, you probably read it all already.

“Stans,” as most would call them, and “Stan Culture” as a whole, is just a huge wreck. Everyone is always fighting someone. We know this. We all do. Stans scare artists. 

I want you to think. Think of the artists who are inspired by Will Wood. The ones who want to cater out their music to the Will Wood fans. Imagine if you will, those artists seeing that AMA post, seeing the crazed fans, seeing the relentless sexualization, the jokes about serious issues, like Will’s past drug use, seeing all of this and thinking:

“Is it really worth it?

Is it really worth all of this to make music and put myself out there?”

Now, that may make you uncomfortable, but it's the honest truth. And it's happened to so many people, and so many artists. 

---

And now a message to the disgraced kids who managed to latch on to Will Wood’s music.

Treating a musical artist like a god is not gonna help anyone. I’d know. I’ve seen it happen multiple times, to multiple artists. 

I guess what I’m trying to say is think before posting on the internet. Think to yourself; would I say this to the artist's face? Could someone see this and think differently of me? Is this just weird to say in general?

Remember that these people are real people. Will Wood is a real person. With real thoughts. real feelings. a life to live. He's not just some music making machine. He’s not just some silly character. He’s not just some whimsical guy who we can all project onto.

Will Wood is a real person, and everyone should treat him that way. 

Thank you for reading.

(I will edit this essay if I think of anything else to add. That or I'll just reblog it.)

Thinking about the different levels of awareness different characters have (or seem to have) of Spectrum and the Script in the nccts

Theres characters who are perfectly aware of its existence and their collective nature as the crafted playthings of a gestalt god of their fictional reality and what it is capable of to some degree but have no ability to percieve it innately, like larry or cobalt,

theres characters who have a little bit of a sense for it, but no name for it or even cognizance of what theyre picking up on, like the grunk (prism attempts to change his words/actions and he resists fairly easily, is faintly aware that something happened, feels it ebb away and doubts what he felt shortly after,)

Theres dani and danthony who are (normally) like the previous but also have a little bit of power to change it theyre not particularly conscious of, mostly takes the form of capitalization and spelling changes when under Emotional Stress or when expressing Emotional Intensity, with special mention to dani understanding and speaking rat partly in the form of emoji,

There's J0hn who can sense and process it due to his machine nature parsing everything as the text of the script, emotionally percieves his text being changed as anxiety, processes things like smiley emoticons as changes in tone, and can consciously mimic and iterate on unique text formatting, like percieving the prism smileys and working out how to send winky faces on his own, but emojis and images are just static to him,

Google or Mac's exact levels of awareness are not clear iirc, though we do know google can feel it (see green,)

Theres Quad who has been very aware his whole life, percieves spectrum and the script they act through as a feeling of mist in the air and everything between the tournaments like being half-asleep, and Prism's edits as being Painful, like the mist turning to needles, and has full capitalization of his speech, although whether that's a conscious choice or just a TOJ type thing or part of his programming is unclear,

Speaking of, TOJ does not know the script or spectrum by its name and has never consciously altered text but nonetheless is eagerly guided by their whims to embody himself and HIS every whim at 2000% at all times in a way that shows in his very text as a constant capitalization and in his bombastic actions following the 'hand of fate' leading him to often being an unconscious vessel of spectrum's will, a powerful conduit and devotee for forces he does not understand in any technical way but does trust absolutely, capable of bizarre and incredible feats through sheer commitment to the bit,

Theres barry (susanverse) who has no innate sense for this but the life experiences he was created with and the clues he can percieve lead him naturally to questioning the apparently *consciously* created nature of the world he inhabits, and barry (neraverse) follows this curiousity to his psychological doom, becoming mentally unseated from time and an observer of his own nature as a mere pawn of a tragic backstory existing only in flashback for his daughter who would mean more than him, BE more than him, dreadfully aware of his own diminished life,

Then there's the gods who are not cobalt, who can read the script, speak in the script, have a natural awareness of when somethings amiss about it and thus a natural knack for learning to resist it (but not naturally perfectly resistant, crimson describing himself as having gotten better at it with time and peppermint being aware that she'd 'lied' but not being able to stop herself from saying it and not knowing why she said what she'd said,) have found loopholes and workarounds for communicating in it outside prism's notice, cosmic and crimson even communicating through thought-narration without being heard by anyone else in the room like a kind of telepathic connection,

Theres the prismatic, whose high level of awareness is dependant on their connection to prism and fades with release but may be able to get inventive enough with the awareness they temporarily have to innovate and create new avenues of communication that circumvent the conditions of their surveillance, like prismatic shadow's quickly adopted pastebin strategy,

Theres Jack, who is new to this and was struggling a bit due to a lack of guidance but has a very high level of ability- can parse individual names and voices in spectrum's gestalt and it doesn't take long for cosmic to show him how to send video (see: jack does a flip,) which is described as Advanced,

And then there's prism and cosmic, who are able to successfully temporarily (kind of. Its a fiction and ryan did sorta both let them do that and made them do that and is in control of all this when we stop engaging with the performance layer of the metaphor but we move,) usurp the author himself and can engage with it at the highest level with cosmic even being able to teach the especially sensitive how to communicate particularly 'advanced' things in it like video.
