It's Men's Mental Health Month...and I am just done with it. I know I'm never going to be a BIG creator.
I type through stream-of-consciousness a lot.
It's how I write songs, skits, ideas, my short stories, etc.
I am going to just let it go as I sit here. Drifting.
I don't talk about myself a lot. Because I don't like myself. I never have. Most likely never will. I second guess every thing I say and do.
My personal life. I am here. Just. Here.
No money. No job (AI took my last one - ironic, isn't it?)
Can't get hired anywhere. Yes, even put the fries in the bag, bros around me. "Overqualified."
I need a job tho. Yeah. Overqualified to make fries (again: around me - the boonies, the sticks, bumfuck Egypt but America ha).
Future is better than all of that. He is who I want to be. I've always been a writer, I've always had something to say. And with FRR...I loved the idea of AI being able to show us what could (or may) exist out there in the infinite.
Skyebrows has inspired me A LOT these last few months with FRR when I discovered his music. Then when I did that react to "SkyeOP" and I had so many Skyebros reach out to me.
Inviting me to servers. Saying I'm part of the Fellowship now...that I had a place around the campfire.
To those of you who hyped me up to others and to myself in multiple DMs/VCs (you know who you are).
I wish you could all honestly understand how much that meant to me...how it made me feel seen and heard. Accepted.
We don't think...truly think (or more bluntly: care) about others because we do have to take care of ourselves first. That is natural, that is okay. I'm just a lonely neet who wants to connect so bad that when I am rejected. Yeah. It hurts. What I am getting at:
When I made the Tentacles song about Leaflit. I was not making fun of her. I did not wish for any *point and laugh* type of feelings towards her.
I thought it was a funny idea...when I was writing the lyrics and creating in Suno...making the gens in Veo, editing in CapCut...you know what I never once thought?
"Is this going to hurt her feelings, or is she going to find it truly funny?"
I regret that. I truly wish I would have contacted Julio or someone to at least ask her for me - send the lyrics - what I was genning - and to get her blessing.
At the same time. If I HAD thought of that - my self-doubt would have made me just quit working on it all together. I more than likely should have done that tbh.
I know she has replied to me a few times and liked my replies to her posts here and there...but yeah. Anyways. Continuing on.
The night she reacted to it (a few weeks after I posted it) was the 1 night I was asleep and not watching her live in like a week. Ofc.
I did see the VOD, and I was smiling that she was laughing...but I honestly got the vibe that I went too far with a lot...for that I am sorry, and if I am requested/told to take it down: I will.
But since then...I have stopped to actually think about it. I honestly hope she (or the Adventurers) wasn't hurt or put off by me making that at the time (or now). I honestly never want to hurt any one for a laugh. But that song had pretty hardcore double-meanings, etc.
If she ever does see this: Leaflit, I see YOU. I know you are a deeply talented, caring and loving person. You were the first Vtuber to ever truly inspire me. You wear your emotions on your sleeves, and that is a good thing.
It proves your strive for more information, better understanding, and just plain empathy are not a show - you CARE. That is why so many love you as a creator, a person, and a fighter for truth.
I am thankful our signals crossed paths.
You don't realize how big of a reason you are that I am still here...
This drama that has happened recently. Whom I included in "Brick by Brick" - it shouldn't matter. I love creators. I love Vtubers. I know since info exploded: I have people giving me a "side-eye" and I get it.
It shouldn't matter whom I did/did not include. I am still very new to the campfire. It's the Internet tho. So.
I do not pick sides. I do not draw lines in the sand.
(Unless you are a quango then: begone thot.)
I wish there was a reality where people really did do their best to understand one another. Not a utopia. Just. A better place with more empathy and understanding.
And "The Brick of Mormon"...I never will post my react to it. I cried too much during it, or I couldn't speak - you know how your throat tightens up when you get emotional? That was me from around 10 seconds in, all through till the end.
"It had corrupt pieces of crap floating in a Lego void."
I know.
But that imagery.
Floating seamlessly in a void, holy light shining behind you...peaceful.
You have no idea how much that imagery hit me.
You have no idea how much I wanted to be there.
In THAT state...and not worry about...this.
I wouldn't hate myself anymore if at peace.
A lot of you more than likely understand because you feel the same way.
The haunting melodies, articulation...every thing combined with dumbdumbdumb - I laughed IMMEDIATELY at the South Park reference - Skye is a Masterpiece Maestro.
I did a cover/homage/tribute to Skye, the Skyebros, Leaf, the Adventurers, the campfire, every creator/Vtuber that has inspired me.
"Lego My Ego" is what it is called. And it will probably be the last thing I post on FRR in the next few days.
The lyrics I wrote for it...some of them are my thought process. How I wish I could be seen.
There is comedy, memes, yes. I do want you to laugh.
But just like Skye...I want there to be layered meanings to it all.
Especially towards the end.
I cried writing those lyrics.
I poured my Future-creator-side out there.
I don't want to be FAMOUS.
I want to make ENOUGH just to take care of my mom - yes, Asmon parallels are not lost on me. It freaks me out how similar of a situation it is. Sans roaches, handfuls of chocolate, etc. I digress.
I just want to be seen.
Accepted by whom I believe to be my peers.
I don't want parasocial.
I don't wanna "slide in your DMs, gurl."
I just don't have the clout.
Or the numbers to be blunt.
I hope it will make you laugh - if you see it.
I hope Skye likes it.
I hope Leaf likes it.
I hope YOU like it.
I hope you are inspired to create.
I hope my signal reaches yours.
And if you read all this: I hope you understand the whole video being me - being Future, floating by myself in the endless, peaceful void of Legos.
Retconning my reality.
I hope you understand why I want to be there.
