I'm going over Dropout tv highlights on YouTube while daydreaming about ATLA—and I'm ROLLING.

Sokka, in front of the whole Avatar Day town with his detective hat and mock pipe:

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury...over the past four hours, you've seen the town prosecutor attempt to...effectively...bamboozle you with a series of hearsay arguments, and loose speculative evidence, placing my client—

(Sokka gestures to Aang, who's standing nervously in silence behind him)

—NEAR the scene of the crime, DURING the time of the murder.

You are tasked to consider the evidence—and whether it proves, BEYOND a reasonable doubt, whether my client is guilty...

(Crowd falls into pensive silence)

Sokka: Is my client a perfect man...? No—

Kyoshi: —I killed him, yeah.

I just realized

Helmi's gonna turn 20 this year.

I had my two dreams of her on October 14th, 2005. I blabbered a little about it in this post.

to recount the dream a little bit, Helmi (she was originally a cis guy and had a different name, mind, she didn’t get her current name and set of pronouns until 2017) was in a high school environment with me and wanted to be my friend. she was also a protagonist in a tv show?? (for whatever reason it was titled Golden Boy and had no relation to the anime of the same name lol) anyway, after I woke up and went to sleep again she wanted to drive the bus I was in. so… lol.

absolutely bonkers lol. like. originally she was the same age as me, that is, 18. of course as a character I've aged her up a little. in TRAUM her exact age is a bit ambiguous but I place her somewhere in her mid-20s.

it's fun when characters have stuck around for a long time or that I'd created long ago and freshened up and gave a new life to. I reworked Helmi in 2017 but I think in 2020 when I made an avatar of her in Second Life she really got a, well, second life, lol.

next thing I know I decide to pair her off with Hams in 2021 (who I created in 2016 and will be 10 next year) and they turn out to have such fun chemistry. I'd wanted to make comics with Hams for a long time, I'd conceptualized a comic titled "Traum" for years until it finally came to fruition in April 2024. and Helmi's such a fun character to draw, too. I've always been fond of drawing characters interacting with one another, whether it was in amateurish comics I'd draw straight ahead as a kid, or drawn roleplay on platforms like MSN Messenger's handwriting function or Tegaki E. Helmi did get her start as a character on Tegaki, in 2008.

last time I'd drawn a webcomic was in 2011 but I got severely burned out. so in 2024 it was nice to be able to find a new workflow for a story I came up with shortly after I came up with Wedge... after reading more Oz books by L. Frank Baum and watching some Magic Adventures of Mumfie and wow I wanna make my own animated scarecrow. can't just call 'em "Scarecrow", though.

ok wow I digress a lot. happy early birthday Helmi. you make a fun comic character, lol.

Gonna get streaming again, starting with some gunpla, help me pick what to build first :D

take me back to the days of having two or three different IM services running, an IRC window, and multiple firefox windows open to different forums.

the forums have unobtrusive banner ads at the top and bottom. your avatar on one forum is 200x200 and other people are amazed when you tell them the forum allows avatars that big. your forum signature has links to your dA, FFN, the java chat for your chatroom, your personal website, and some adoptable dragon. one user shows off the fact that they just got photoshop by making a newer, fancier signature banner. there's at least six active RP threads in the RP subforum, and a user has started a new sprite comic in the art subforum. there's multiple new threads in the other subforums to check out, and some new posts on that thread about That One Episode. you reply again, notice your forum rank has gone up, and take a screenshot to upload to iownjoo to show your friends later.

your friends have silly goofy animated avatars on AIM and one of them has one of those funky talking ones that reacts to whatever they type. one of your friends on MSN Messenger has sent you the giant laughing head animation again because it makes them laugh. you and your friends change your MSN Messenger names to matching Homestar Runner quotes.

you upload another 100x100 icon to your LiveJournal account, this one an "angry" one featuring another favorite character of yours. new posts from one of the fandom comms excitedly speculate about a new episode. one of the fanfic comms you follow is hosting a new challenge.

the IRC chat is somewhat active at the moment. someone uses a script to announce what music they are listening to on winamp. one person has changed their quit message to another goofy quote. a troll joins, and one of the mods jumps on the chance to use that funny new kick message they'd thought up. someone makes a dumb typo and the channel's topic is changed to incorporate the typo.

you check on some fansites to see if they've gathered any news on the upcoming games. one of them has scans they claim are from a Japanese magazine and are Totally Real. you get the feeling they're not, but you're amused anyway. there's new art on one of the oekaki boards on one site--someone spent three hours on an absolute masterpiece of a drawing, while some kid drew a stick figure and clearly left the window open for fifteen minutes to satisfy the "spend at least 15 minutes on a drawing" rule. another person posts a quick drawing of their persona sobbing because they accidentally refreshed the page and lost the image they'd been working on.

someone jumps on AIM and frantically tells you to check out one of your usual forums. when you refresh the page, you immediately crack up to find every instance of the letter "a" replaced with "BAD WROD" because a moderator accidentally messed up the swear filter. sadly, you and your friends are laughing too hard to think to take any screenshots to immortalize this moment before it's hastily corrected.

the internet at this time is not a perfect place, but you will not realize what you have until it is long, long gone.

Your picture is of a creature that licks the screen. I know because I used the GIF as an avatar on MSN Messenger in like 2008-2009. I think the version you are using is one with the colors inverted.

That's brilliant! I mean if you don't mind it. Hello avatar sibling! But in case you do mind bc it belongs to you and you don't want to see it used by others please just let me know. I had just got it from a friend with no awareness about its history.

VIDEOVERSE overflowing with characters will debut soon

VIDEOVERSE the visual novel game in a social network will release soon on Linux, Mac, and Windows PC. All this magic springs from the tireless dedication and brilliant creativity of Kinmoku. Coming very soon on Steam. Kinmoku, the folks who made One Night Stand, have been hard at work. They're about to drop their new experience they call VIDEOVERSE. Imagine you're stepping into a time machine, only instead of traveling to, say, the time of the dinosaurs, you're diving into an imaginary past of video gaming. We're talking about the kind of nostalgic journey that you'll want to tell your friends about. Now, this game is not just about playing. It's similar to hanging out with friends in a vibrant digital world. Due to swap fan art, and immerse yourself in a bustling gaming community. It's the kind of place where connections are forged, and where friendships start. This isn't some small, unheard-of thing either. The developers know their stuff, the critics, they're already singing praises. At the Indie Cup UK 23, VIDEOVERSE won the Critics' Choice Award. Which is like the Oscars, but for indie digital experiences. Plus, big-name platforms like Kotaku and Rock Paper Shotgun are also recommending the Demo on Steam (with native Linux).

VIDEOVERSE – Release Date Announcement Trailer

On August 7th, the full game experience will be unveiled during the Steam Visual Novel Fest. To make things even sweeter, there's going to be a launch discount. This announcement came with a fresh trailer, showing off an intriguing, haunting side of VIDEOVERSE. The voice you are hearing is Mark Takeshi Ota, who's worked on gems like LIVE A LIVE and The Great Ace Attorney. VIDEOVERSE takes inspiration from some of the best things about the early internet. Think MSN Messenger, early web forums, the technology from the 2000s, and even Miiverse. It's also paired with some chill music from Clark Aboud, who has worked on Slay the Spire and Kind Words. The world of VIDEOVERSE is also overflowing with characters to meet and stories to uncover. You can even personalize your journey by picking an avatar, crafting a personal quote, and choosing your favourite theme. Likewise, there's a virtual JRPG to dive into - Feudal Fantasy. You'll be joining Emmett. Doing so on his adventure as he tries to crack the secrets of this popular digital experience within the VIDEOVERSE. Join the Feudal Fantasy community, trade tips and theories, and find out if Hanzo can thwart the wicked Nobunaga. It's all in a day's play. Launching alongside Steam Visual Novel Fest with a 10% launch discount of the $12.99 USD / £10.99 / €12,79 price on Steam. Along with support for Linux, Atari VCS, Mac, and Windows PC. Release Date is August 7th, 2023.

This should be a feature, like what "winks" were on MSN messenger; your avatar face bumping into your moot's screen.

genuinely fucked up that if i want to interact with someone online i have to say words and have a conversation instead of just mashing my face against them like a cat
