Chat, I've watched the Sonic movie 3,
Happy Pride Month
Love is love and that's way past cool!
Happy Sonic and Pride month to everyone!!!
WAIT WHAT, does this mean that the watchers are actually canon to the Minecraft LORE?!??
Mojang, what the flip is this?!?!
okay what is THAT.
Remember Free Palestine!!!
Oh yeah btw in regards to day two of Grumbo month- (tomorrow) I will not be posting my grumbo art tomorrow because of the blackout. Regularly scheduled grumbo posting will resume on march 3rd, but I encourage you all to participate in the blackout for palestine. Like, REALLY encourage you. if you can, donate. Repost information, uplift palestinians voices, DONT make it about yourself. Post only for Palestine or don't post at all. Free Palestine.
Yeah, I just realized my mistake. It was like a couple of weeks ago. Oof. But on the bright side, Gempearl won. :D
I made a Gempearl Fan art because they won in @trafficshipshowdown a few days ago and why not make fanart of them as a little victory. I tried my best on the Fanart.
I took some inspiration from @d0not-disturb and their version of their Fanart.
God, I love Gempearl.
We gotta let him cook!!
GRIAN SAID THAT THE NEXT LIFE SERIES IS COOKIN' THIS IS NOT A DRILL
I've been a believer of Macaque is the tall one between them.
Okay guys. The years long argument is over. It's finally time to know the truth

Macaque is taller than Wukong
Thank you Matpat for inspiring all of us.
Your League will never be forgotten.
thanks, Matt
matpat means.... a lot to me, to say the least. I was raised in a single parent household and l haven't really considered myself to have a dad for a long time. while yes, I do technically have a dad, that's only really in the context of genetics. and my daddy issues but that's not important.
what is important is that matpat was my father, in a way. he was dubbed the title of "internet dad" long after he had already been one to me. he's part of the reason that I am the person I am today.
this piece exists because of matpat, for many reasons.
one, because I sobbed watching "goodbye internet" and want to do something special for his retirement.
two, because fnaf is the entire reason that I create what I do today, and that is partially heavily credited to matpat for overanalyzing a game about murderous animatronics in a pizzeria that I was obsessed with the moment I found out about it. 7 year old me was hooked, man.
and then I think through that, I found even more creators, which led to even more hyperfixating on weird nerdy shit, which led to me making more and more art.
and now, here I am. I'll be 17 years old in April. I graduate high school in one year.
I'm growing up.
not that I haven't been for my whole life because, well, that's how that works.
but I am nearing the true "end" of my childhood.
this year is fnaf's ten year anniversary.
this year marks a decade with game theory.
this year marks the beginning of the end.
I look back on my childhood. I went back to make one quick edit of my incredibly old Instagram account that I had way before I should've even had it.
I look back on the friends I had. I look back on all of the early-mid 2010s shit I posted and I smile. because it's cringe. it's cringe as hell and it's beautiful because of that.
and the nonsense theories are beautiful, and every single theory is beautiful because it exists. because it stems from the need to learn and think and have fun.
because that's what theorizing is about, in the end.
having fun.
matpat means a lot to me.
matpat is the reason that I am the person typing out this post. matpat is the reason that I am the person who spent 6 hours and 45 minutes drawing a piece featuring undertale and fnaf characters in it.
matpat inspires me to exist. and create. and think and learn and seek and everything.
yes, it's a bit parasocial. but it's hard for it to not be considering that I've spent more than half of my life growing alongside this man, seeing him grow in real time in tandem with myself.
I'm growing up.
but I still feel like a kid.
that's good and bad.
the bad is the part of my childhood that I didn't get to have because of my puberty hitting early. it's the fact that some of me is still a 12/13 year old in 2020. it's how the internet affected my growth.
the good is the part of me that still gets unreasonably excited when one of my interests gets brought up "in the wild." it's the fact that I love stuffed animals. it's how the internet affected my growth.
I look back on myself as a kid and, yes, I do indeed get embarrassed or genuinely cringe at how I was in some aspects. but I smile.
because it's me.
despite everything, it's still me.
despite everything, I'm still me, and matpat is still matpat, and despite every single thing that we've all gone through,
we're still us.
I remember one year, I bought myself the theorist varsity jacket with some Christmas money or something.
my best friend has the theorist backpack, I'm pretty sure.
hell, matpat's probably one of the reasons that they are my best friend.
two absolute geeks of GT kids, bonding over the nerdy stuff they liked, probably talking about theories. I don't remember super well, that was elementary school, man.
but isn't that incredible?
the fact that I'm still friends with someone I met in the first grade because of nerdy people like matpat.
I am forever grateful that I found the game theorists and became part of that group. so much of who I am is because I am a theorist. because I found one guy on the internet making overanalytical videos about games.
matpat means a lot to me. and if in case he somehow reads this whole weird ramble prose post open letter thingy, then I hope it means something to him.
but, hey, that's just a theory.
thanks for everything, Matt. <3

Okay, this is going to be part 2 of my Dark Beginnings prolong analysis post that I've been doing.
Spoilers for Dark Beginnings,.if you haven't seen it, then please watch it. It's so good 👍
{Is It Real or All In My Head?}
Okay, after the fight with Emerl, we could all see Shadow in some type of dream sequence, I'm guessing that he's having nightmares of that day when the ark got raided by G.U.N.
{The Professor & Their Creation}
After the sequences, we are cut to Shadow with the professor in this cell before y'know, okay that Sega put this in here for this animation, shows that they do remember when writing for their characters & their traits.
It also reminds me of how when Sega lets the writers and animators cook then they can cook like this!
(Edit of 9-26-24: I should have mentioned this when writing this but oh well, but I've been noticing that the professor is getting a lot more screen time or at least expanding his and Shadow's relationship since in the Trailer for the STH 3 movie, he's shown to be alive which this could mean that Sega are deciding to explore more of Shadow's and the professor's relationship, which is pretty cool)
