I know it's super old lol, but I found your entry from 14 mar 2025 really interesting. All creation really is just regurgitation, in my eyes at least. I guess the level of originality just kind of depends on the level of... digestion? Kinda gross metaphor but hopefully that makes sense. I can't really explain how to be "more original" but the way I see it, the longer an inspiration gets digested the more it'll change
(sorry ran out of room lol) ...when it comes back up. (gross, but I'm sticking with this I guess.) And honestly like you said, "consuming and loving can be enough". Even if what you're making is really heaviliy inspired by something else (or even a "rip-off" as you said) you're still making *something* and there's really nothing wrong with that. Uh yeah anyways sorry that was really trite I just felt the urge to...
thank you so much it took a lot of time and an insane fascination with the man to get here lmao
Oh my goodness!! That is so funny (particularly if it's the starting your own neocities lmao), very cool to hear thank you!
