Sitting here, having thoughts...

Artists I have the pleasure of currently working with. Go check them all out and give them a watch!

zwitterkitsuneFirst off, it's been a HELL of a long time since the last time I wrote a personal journal. I have to say, first and foremost, I'm sorry for that. I really should be reaching out to all of you guys a lot more often. I mean, you're all great! Why WOULDN'T I wanna reach out to you all as often as I can?
Well, I've got some ideas on that. I'm gonna be try a few out here and there and see what you all think of these ideas. Throw it at all at the wall and see what sticks, you know?
This being the case, I wanna lay down some ground rules for comments around here. Don't worry, it's not all bad things, it's not all "don't"s and things like that, I'll even start with something positive!
1. I FUCKING LOVE COMMENTS! This doesn't just apply to these personal journals, that's the submissions too! I know quite a few of the artists I work with come by and read the comments too and SO many get a warm, fuzzy feeling from the things you all say. I do too, so more of that!
2. I welcome everyone to reply to each other if you have something to add. I only ask that you all do so in a kind and respectful manner.
3. I will not ban or block someone for having an opposing point of view, provided that it is offered in a calm, well thought out, polite manner. I want to listen to you all, really listen, but it's hard when it comes with a dose of static.
4. This goes mostly for the submissions,but even though I'm not flying the banner, I'm open to "Creepy Comments". Just try and reserve them for MY characters instead of those that belong to others that might be featured. Just because I'm cool with it doesn't necessarily mean the other person(s) might be.
5. I can be absolutely self deprecating when it comes to my humor. PLEASE don't assume I'm actually feeling down unless I state so, but I'll try to keep that sort of content off here. I just like taking the piss out of myself sometimes.
More or less, just be kind, rewind, aim the creepy comments right, and have fun!
I shall end this with a trial of a sort of journal I want to write. I did these a bit ago in a long form, but I never really got a lot of feedback on them. So, guess I'll start small and you guys tell me if this is something you'd like to see.
You know what's really getting my goat lately? Why did so many artists decide, seemingly as a group, to just STOP adding "Sound Warning" to animations they post?
I like to control my volume, because of how I have my set up, through the video players themselves and there is nothing more jarring than clicking an animation and then being BLASTED with some loud ass soundtrack.
I have speakers that can wake the dead connected to this computer. My neighbors don't have to call the cops on me for sound complaints, these things are loud enough that they just go ahead and dial 911 for them. I swear, I'm probably half deaf just from the sudden blasts from these animations.
Anyone else a bit twisted over this?

I still comment myself, even after years of being seemingly ignored or forgotten, after a great deal of folks telling me that while they may not reply, they do read each and every comment they get and each one means a great deal to them. Ultimately, most of those don't reply out of a form of social anxiety and worry about getting a reply wrong in some way and having the person on the other end reacting negatively to it. I won't say that relating to that is difficult, as I've seen the results of that sort of misunderstanding go very badly before.
Personally, I do my best to reply to everything I get, even if it's just a simple "thanks" to let people know I DID read their comment. Shit happens, of course, and one or two may be missed here and there, or a reply doesn't get written, but I can genuinely say that I DO read and appreciate each and every comment I've received before.
