On Toxic Communities and How to Remedy Them (Hopefully)

A YouTube header image, but it says YerTerb.

As the year progresses, I find myself becoming less and less tolerant of the internet as a whole. Mostly because of knee-jerk reactions, tribalism, slogans, ragebaiting, hypocrisy, and other general unpleasantness. “Support artists!” (Follows and buys merch only from popular artists.) “People should succeed on merit!” (Watches videos and streams of only famous content creators.)…

VTQ: NES Remix 2 (Part 1): The Revisitening

A medieval style illustration of Shaq discussing his idea for a blueberry cream soda with AriZona Iced Tea officials. They asked him, 'What is thy offering?' To which he replies, 'Sylvan berry draught.' They're all dressed in medieval robes, with one official wearing a crown of tea cans, and a bishop holding a staff topped with a tea can. Below this scene, there are stylized panels of Mario and a mushroom, Kirby as a blemmyae and a star, and Kid Icarus with a water of life.

Today’s a good day to revisit some stuff, so I’m reposting the second installment in my Vinesauce: The Questening project. If this is new to you, you can read the first one here to get an idea of what we’re in for. I’ll still dedicate a special space on another site for these and future…

Writing and Coding and Planning

Soft clouds of pink alcohol inks with some golden lines for effects. Some text in the lower right corner reads, I couldn't think of a better image, so enjoy some alcohol inks.

Or My Brain Has Somehow Survived an Onslaught of Words These have been a busy past couple of weeks. I’ll spare you the gory details and just provide the text below: I’m working on three different websites: one for my tarot practice, another for my story projects, and the last one for research (you’ll see).…

Inklenook: Shoestring Budget

A YouTube header image, but it says YerTerb.

From the description on the Inklenook channel: Maybe the ones with glitter threads woven in yield a higher return on investment. It’s funny because it’s literal. (Yes, I know the short is blown up on this blog, but there’s nothing I can do about it. I’m sure it looks better on a personal doomscrolling device…

Inklenook: Furniture Window Shopping

A brick featuring the iOS26 icon.

This short should have been done last month, but due to Apple trying to fix what was never broken and therefore breaking and preventing fixing… *sigh* Despite all the setbacks, the newest short is done. I get to add more to the Inklenook ecosystem. That’s what matters. And I get to use more Tomodachi Life…

Vinesauce: The Questening: The Revisitening

A medieval-style illustration featuring a Dachroa and three Etecoons in a box, surrounded by three large red flowers; Samus stands in a rectangular box on the right, preparing to wall jump to the top. At the top of the illustration is a fanciful script that reads, In sooth, bestow upon us another offering.

Two years ago, I began a “quest” to help myself recover the memory of my first Vinesauce video. Today, I’m restarting it and giving it new life. Although I’m only posting the first installment of the project, I have plans to spruce it up a bit with illustrations—maybe even give the entire thing its own…

Token at the Christmas Party

A YouTube header image, but it says YerTerb.

It’s a short, but working on this made me realize something: the camera also contributes to action and emotion. Here’s a GIF of this animatic, at the full resolution: Your eyes don’t quite know where to land, do they? This was going to be the video itself, but something told me to use a camera…

A Much Needed Return to Leisure

Soft clouds of pink alcohol inks with some golden lines for effects. Some text in the lower right corner reads, I couldn't think of a better image, so enjoy some alcohol inks.

Motherfucker this semester is finally done these ivy league wannabes can suck my nonexistent nutsack Well, this  certainly was a trying semester, but I’m sure this will all be worth it when I finally become a professional whatever the hell it is I’m trying to become. Seriously, there’s a need for what I want to…

Short: Opinion

Lovingly and painstakingly mashed together in DaVinci Resolve over the course of three weeks. And I still want to make changes to it before I upload it to a channel. Tip: View in fullscreen, because the WP video feature doesn’t allow for custom video sizes. (Warning: Loud noise)   Just one of the many hypocrisies…
