I DEEPLY miss the era of being an online artist and being able to have a page with detailed customization and SLATHERING it with your ocs, your art, your friends, other artists you looked up to, etc . And striving to make it really POP, but like, not as a form of… “branding” or trying to sell your aesthetic, back then it was literally just “hiii look at my ocs :3c i made this page myself with basic html and i had fun!! Look look look!!”, i miss pagedolls, i miss pixel art, i miss old school deviantart and tumblr where we actually cared about each other’s page themes , i miss artists being a more intertwined community instead of being forced to focus on what is the most “palatable” !! I wish we didn’t have to sell an easy-to-swallow “brand” to survive, i just want to create, and i miss when there were platforms FOR artists, yknow?

#ughhh.. bark bark bark. not to sound like an old man but i miss ye olden days when you could customize more than a banner and a pfp.#im so tired of minimalist online spaces. i want 1000 stamps and blinkies and a dancing lil gif of my ocs!!!#im thinking about starting a MySpace page now that im getting more into coding #i miss old deviantart so bad i remember like 10 years ago when da was actually fun #the only website i can think of that has this level of customizability is … toy house #and nothing against th tbh but ive just never been able to Get Into It #i should probably try??? it seems like a decent artist community #but i want MORE of that. i want my page covered in EVERYTHING top to bottom no blank white empty space #rrrr. ok im done. bark bark #j barks
