Hey guys!
Been a while, huh?
Apologies, as I've been worked to the bone by my part time job (feels more like full time with the ridiculous amount of hours they are giving me )
But, I feel like there is something that needs to be addressed. Especially about a certain video on Youtube that I've seen recently.
So........where to begin. I suppose I should start off by explaining the channel that I started tuning into about a month ago calling itself "DramaAlert." Basically, it consists of a man by the Youtube (or CoD I don't quite remember which) username of "Keemstar." Basically, he researches and reports certain bits of news about Youtubers and news in the CoD community. Well to be honest, it's more like he gets reports from Twitter statuses of certain Youtubers. Kind of like....a News station on the Internet.
I tuned into this channel when I saw a video profiling the tragedy of Daniel Kyre from Cyndago.
This video can be seen here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=eEP4EY…
From there, I started tuning into this channel. It didn't seem too bad at first....I mean, there were some things that I disagreed with, certainly.
But then......I saw this video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=KJV0ww…
I......was in absolute disbelief after seeing this. No. It was more than that. A wave of actual rage just came over me. This....was absolutely sickening to me.
Now some of you might claim that "he's only joking," "his channel is called 'DramaAlert' for a reason" or "that person he was reporting on was only saying those things for attention." Some of those reasons may be true.....maybe not. I'm not sure. But one thing is for sure in my mind.....what Keemstar did....in mocking this person's suicidal tweets in such a way......was absolutely not funny to me. Nothing about suicide or anything about suicidal thoughts is a joke to me. I take these things very seriously (for deeper reasons than some people here may realize). You do not by ANY means mock a person for having suicidal thoughts or tendencies. And exploiting this just for VIEWS on a VIDEO is even worse. What if this person had gone through with their supposed suicide attempt? Would he still be mocking him then? How would that even FEEL on his conscious?
I'm sorry. I know that I am getting a little too riled up about this. But honestly? It's people like this that make me genuinely upset. It's situations like this that make me enraged. If a person is suicidal you get them HELP or try to help them yourself. You do NOT mock, make fun of, or exploit this by ANY means.
I would've respected Keemstar more if he had made this video in order to get the person in question the help he needed, or asked the Youtube community to do their part in trying to help.
But this?? The video in the way he made it?? It's just.....so wrong in so many ways.
Thanks for listening/reading to my rant (if you made it this far). I know that I can get a little heated sometimes, but it's better to express some things rather than just keep it to myself.
Anyways!
Take care, as always guys. And hope your October has been going well thus far

impressive nature and nice flowers
Here I introduce you to another area of my hobby.
As a hobby photographer, I sometimes go out and really enjoy photographing nature, especially beautiful flowers or rare plants.
Here are some examples. Thank you for your support.

Update on things: I will be okay
Hey guys.
Figured I'd post this since probably few will see the update in the description of my newest WIP.
Since the end of March I've been in a bit of a recovery process. From what, I don't really feel I should share at the moment, although some of you might have a good idea as to what it is. To those who don't, please don't take it personally that I am not telling you up front. The situation in itself still shakes me up to this day, and it's definitely not a pleasant experience to share online. I wouldn't want you to get wrapped up in such things or be a downer on your day. If you truly did want to know, perhaps I will share it in the fu
A Big Thank You
Hey guys!
Been a long time since I made any sort of journal, and I figured that I'd make one now rather than later (despite it being really super early in the morning....I need to go to bed lol).
I just wanted to thank you guys for being so supportive and patient with me as I went through such an extensive hiatus. It really means a lot to me that you guys were there for me, despite being inactive (in terms of my own artwork) for so long. But that support along with certain parts of my life finally looking up has finally given me the passion and means to keep doing what I love. It may not be super amazing like the works some of my friends an
Happy Holidays Everyone!
Hey guys!
Been some time since I wrote a journal! I know I've been writing a lot of updates, and everyone has been pretty understanding of my situations at home. And I really appreciate and love you guys for that.
I do want to apologize, however, for not posting as much as I had initially intended. I know I tend to promise things, and not really deliver, which I know I should absolutely work on. Whenever I say the word "promise," I wind up kicking myself in the foot. I did have the mini comics drawn out, but with certain circumstances over the year, I lost quite a bit of motivation. And I know that's no excuse. But it is certainly what happ
What's Been Going On With Me
Hey guys!
Update journal time!
I know, I've made a few statuses about what's been happening in my life, but I figured I'd make a journal with a little bit more detail as to what's been happening on my end. With that said, let's just jump right into it:
Work
So, I know I have mentioned this before, but I did get a new job recently. And no, it's not the tea shop that I said that I was working in. That wound up not working out, which I will get into in a moment. But I work at a clothing store called Forever 21. They seemed to really need people and wound up hiring me and giving me a decent amount of hours to the point where I wind up passing

There's nothing funny about suicide. Period.
