Life Update :)

Posted 2 years, 6 months ago by -Alex-

Just wanted to explain my pfp change and give a life update because I ramble a lot and I like having people listen. I won't be replying much, though. Just let me talk to the void again.

I don't really want to keep my pfp with B-skin Eyes from Nuclear Throne for now since it seems to affect me mentally when I work here (I think a slight switch happens for me? I act more similar to a headmate of mine because of what is basically my face here. Just noting I'm plural real quick for context, though- Alex. is still here but he doesn't need that pfp anymore. I'm still Alex.).

I'm doing a lot better since I took a break from this site. I popped in every now and then but god, I'm doing a lot, lot better. Though I still have trauma moments, where stuff similar to the main trauma happens. But I'm learning to deal with them a lot better, I'm finally going to therapy, and I soon plan to start being active on social media so people can see my works. I decided I want to post stuff but I keep deciding what I wanna do. 

Right now, wanna be a gamedev, artist, and maybe either a writer or someone who makes scripts with Ren'py, releases them, and lets fans complete them or look through the script and imagine the story that way since I don't have the time or energy to finish more than writing the script/code. Its fun for me and right now, learning about Ren'py is probably a hyperfixation. 

I also want to host maps (multi-animator projects. not the other type of map) often once I grow more of an audience to have people collab and actually just, I guess create stuff for me to help tell my stories that way. I'll host ones that are general maps for people to draw their own ocs and stuffies too, though. Don't worry. I think I might be good with organizing projects (but no one actually finishes them besides me) and I have ideas on how to set up a discord server to make the process more...streamline and maybe automatic? (like, I can go on about this forever. Mainly custom Carl-bot commands and auto-posting to help with the participants with being reminded to do parts, to remind of deadlines, to have commands to check on what parts need done, etc!) But this is a long, long ways away. But just thinking about the discord thing makes me happy and even explaining stuff does too!

I'll be making a post in the forum to ask for help again. Mostly with actually doing social media stuff. I had a plan for Twitter but what the actual living fuck is going on with the algorithm? I just started with that one because I knew what to do there and I have no idea what to do with Insta (but my friend offered to help so I'm really, REALLY thankful for them! I love them /platonic) and other sites. What else is there besides Twitter, Insta, and Tumblr to post art and stuff? I wanna know. I prefer being out of the loop like this. Less things to cause anxiety attacks. Downside is that I don't know what's trendy anymore. But eh, who cares? Got my own problems. Kinda miss never being into stuff a lot like how I used to and I can't really make friends anymore, though.

So yeah. Life is getting a lot better. This account won't be used much, however. It's just going to be here, storing old stuff until the site dies. And if I want to be active here again, which I kinda want to, it will just be for doing simple things in the forums and sharing stuff about ocs for easy access for others. I still really don't trust this site since there's still only one admin after three years...and little to no updates (man, were the update fun to witness, though.) and the freezing thing is a massive, massive yikes.

Thanks for reading through this. I don't know how much of this is gonna happen. Plans never work exactly how I wish at all. But I'm thankful you took the time to read this update and that you're still somehow here. Thank you.


Edit: Will post the fourm thread here for anyone who's interested once I post it.

Edit #2: Done. :)

Update.

Posted 3 years, 4 months ago by -Alex-

I think I'm gonna avoid the forums and stop being active here for at least a while. I realized I don't like it here. 

The fourms sorta drag me down mentally and even looking at my ocs here makes me stressed as all hell. I don't have the energy to preserve anything or backup anything or move anything. I'll probs take things from here until someone decides to finally kill of this place.

I'm just gonna try to find a way to happily survive doing what I love and to also, and mainly, find a way to live with people I love to be with being around me at all times. It's hard to explain. But it's impossible considering I'm doomed to fail anyways, and not even simple asks like the latter are possible. Fuck society from preventing my happiness because of my location and money.

So yeah. I don't think I'll be checking this place too often and I'll probably move to Tissuebox once I'm ready to return, slowly moving my hundreds of ocs to it. Or leaving some here to just rot.

I'm still open to making friends so yeah uh. If you're interested in just chatting in dms, pm me here and I'll tell you my tag on Discord so we can chat.

Adios.

Edit: I may still pop up in the forums from time to time. Heads up. I got a few threads and some that are important to me.

I love this so much.

Mini-Update Thing

Posted 4 years, 1 month ago by -Alex-

Well, reformatting everything again. The folders themselves are public, but not the characters, and it's not finished. I think it'll look nice.

For those who are able to see my characters, I think I'll just write down things in profiles but they'll probs never be complete? Like I'm not gonna force myself to work on something that is small and made for my own enjoyment alone (and maybe a few friends)? Since it has no use for me except just for something to enjoy and kill time with, it's not worth dedicating too much to it. 

Click the image and read the description. It's my current status in life is right now.

I'm really unsure of what to do currently with my work. I want to ask for help so I did but no one said anything yet. So feel free to give me advice here. Thankfully, I got a few years to wait if I felt like it...but I don't really like waiting on stuff like this, personally. Just know that (my Pikmin stuff especially) is in a state I'm calling limbo where I have no clue what to do with it so nothing will happen except roleplays in private.

Update on my account.

Posted 4 years, 2 months ago by -Alex-

I've decided to keep my characters hidden from the public for personal reasons. Though, a few may be unhidden since they are story related but that's it. 

I'm also probably gonna stop posting on other platforms and if I do, I will probably make new accounts to start fresh. I wanna keep my old name and what happened in the past behind me. 

Also, I'm not too sure what to do about the tabs I made for that sorting system. I'll probably rework how all my characters are sorted in private and then throw in the fandom/story character tabs into their own category to rot? I'm not sure. Maybe I'll keep it. Who knows?

Some people will have access to seeing my characters. Keep that in mind. But not everyone. And none will have profile stuff added except notes from now on. Only ones with completed profiles will be the ones I make public.

Try it out here. (It will take a while to load since that's how the site works; unlike Picrew which loads items as you click through them, Meiker.io instead load everything at the start to make it less of a pain to load(? My theory, anyway). It's a lot like a game would load)

It's mostly reformatting to work on this system? Engine? Template...? You can choose as many markings as you want now. This also leads to the randomization not having any rules and looking extremely crazy.

Have fun.

As said in the original bulletin, feel free to show off what you made in the comments. But please remember to not credit me as the creator as the designer; credit me for the art and link to the picrew itself (if you are able to).

Feel free to suggest things to be added. I got a growing list and keep in mind that I won't make updates all that often. I got several other projects and things to do through the days so keep that in mind.

I finished that Pikmin Picrew.

Try it out here.

Feel free to put characters here. But please don't credit me as the creator as the designer; credit me for the art and link to the picrew itself (if you are able to). That's all I want lol.

Feel free to suggest things to be added.

Well, if you paid attention to the names of the characters I uploaded recently, my laptop's wire up and broke. So I had no access to my laptop for a few days. I managed to wait and here we are. 

Things are way easier to do on pc rather than mobile. So I let some designs I made out of my own boredom pile up in my Recently Added folder. But I'll get to moving them to the proper folders and make tabs.

Oh, and happy late Thanksgiving. Hope it was nice for everyone.

Just in case.

0 Votes PIKMANZ was way better. Change it back.

I changed my name from PIKMANZ to -Alex-. I'm not too sure if I'll keep it but it'll be a nice change. I've been getting tired of PIKMANZ as of late. The name had it's run.


Also it broke my pfp lmfao.
