Runes are now offline, in other words. They will come back when The Big Thing happens. Now I'm just focusing on finances and prepping for a convention in February and March.

I miss being here, social media and doomscrolling has done little good. I plan on using Bluesky for cons and maybe make an access-only Dreamwidth circle to discuss things, for those who added me there.

I have it on my site as well, if you'd prefer to look at it that way: https://more.devils.gay/interests/ascii.txt

I'm writing a journal to cross-post on various art sites+probably DW, but I've accepted the internet has changed. Last time I went to a con, people still used LJ. But I've been using my Bsky account even though I'm waffling on a handle (don't feel like using NC url). If I'm going to interact with local stuff I have to not be a complete lunatic, LMFAO

Side note, I'm not a Hazbinnie but there was a lot of Hellaverse stuff there... Which reminds me that even though I'm on hiatus / have creative block, a review of Hazbin season 2 is something I can confirm will happen when it drops LOL

I admit I've had no energy to browse or comment etc. myself, same with other "old school" sites I used to invest in like Dreamwidth :( It's just work, work, work and I also have just wanted to log off more lately.

I also noticed that. Why has it's become little bit harder for us maintain and get started personal web by technology advances? =(

I've been noticing that as well, and figured I accidentally followed a bunch of dead sites or something. Similiar to other comments, I have been also getting increasingly more exhausted by modern internet lately, to the point I feel that I need to tread carefully when exploring. Any more my personal computer is a resource to draw and write, but not connect with others. It's very disheartening.

yeah, personally, it's partially that i've gotten a job at the beginning of the year and thus had less time for ~activities~, but also a bit of burnout mixed in. it is very sad the social media has just made it so much more difficult to actually connect with other people or want to do much of anything, at all... [typo, rip]

When it comes to online, I'm just tired of the atmosphere. I tried to use my Facebook account in my "log off" quest, ran into bots. Tried to make an art blog on Tumblr, my only note currently was a bot reply. Everything is fake and just bloated with this new tech. Even more obscure spaces I used to enjoy I notice act similar to the rumored Russian troll farms from 2016...

I've lost a lot of interest in coding even if I wasn't spending the last year as a workholic due to circumstances. It currently doesn't feel worth investing in when so much of it is the same insanity or surface-level aesthetics as the "bad" mainstream sites. Even if you leave those sites, the behavior carries over since most users online are zoomers and young millennials under 35 who had that as their normal.

I'm not going to leave or delete anything, but I just need to blow off steam and it feels like genuine activity here and other hosts really has dipped in the last year :(

I've definitely felt burnt out, but I'd like to get back into my site! I have ideas for a new layout, it's just a matter of time and inspiration ;_; I definitely agree with you on the atmosphere of being online, too. It's so boring.

I've thought about doing the same thing at IFC and MFF, I just need to come up with some eye catching mini-flyers to print

I didn't bother with that, I just wrote it down on scraps of paper and in two or three sketchbooks lol! So many areas people left business cards or stickers so I hid one among them.

I'm just fucking with you but that was my first thought when I learned the Rick Rat prototype character was never used because no one would visit a restaurant with rat in the name. 😔

Thank you so much!!! I'm more or less on hiatus but hopefully I'll have more fun stuff in the future.
I took my site down on Christmas to prepare for my rebrand. I have been snowed in so I had enough free time to finally put it online.
I'm going to send out emails after I publish this, but please update your links if we're affiliates.
