Personal questions

Who do/would you take inspiration from...

Who do/would you take inspiration from...

4. as a writer (any medium)? No one

5. as a digital artist? Too many digital artists to count to be honest. I had gotten inspiration from a lot of digital artists for over a decade!

6. as a physical artist? Well, no one

7. as a graphic designer? No one

8. as a musician? Video game music gave me a lot of inspiration (for my illustrations), so I'd say a variety of game composers, especially Nintendo ones, like Koji Kondo.

9. as an animator? I would say a few people in my college's Animation department, along with the animators of classic Disney movies.

10. as a filmmaker? No one

11. as a game dev? No one

What do you want to never hear about again...

12. written media (any medium)? Fanfictions that portray stuff so abhorrent it's basically illegal. Also, if certain words/phrases count, then the word "cringe". I'm so sick and tired of that word, it's so incredibly overused. Also, rants that involve grossly generalizing an entire group all because of a few people. And I'm not just referring to blatant bigoted stuff like racism. Just because a few little kids say "skibidi toilet" all the time doesn't mean all of "Gen Alpha" are like that. Just because a few teens don't know how to follow the most basic rules doesn't mean all teens are like that. Just because you dealt with terrible people at your job doesnt mean everyone's like them. Just because you met a handful of terrible people within a fandom doesn't mean the entire fandom is like them. Etc etc etc, I could go on...

13. TV and film (any medium)? Posts about how relatable Squidward is. "You hated Squidward as a child but now relate to him as an adult" blah blah blah. I get it. Stop. It's annoying and tiring as hell. Also why do people act like Squidward is the only relatable SpongeBob character?

14. physical art? Artists hating on their own otherwise really good art, along with people bullying others for their art.

15. digital art? Also artists hating on their own otherwise really good art, along with people bullying others for their art.

16. performing arts? Nothing to be honest...

17. music? Taylor Swift. Why is she so popular? Her music isn't even THAT good, and she's not a good person either.

18. animation? I know most of them are live action rather than animated, but Disney remakes. I want Disney to stop making them.

19. video games? 

PaRappa: Sunny Funny slander. Someone calling/portraying Guru Ant (from PaRappa the Rapper 2) as sexually deviant/a p3do. A Guru Ant hater who doesn't even give a reason as to why they hate him (in other words, all Guru Ant haters lmao). The awfully large amount of fans I know who are pr0shippers and/or p3dos. Rayna (if you know, you know).

Mario Kart: Someone calling their own opinion "objectively correct" (ok this is in general but especially for Mario Kart). Pink Gold Peach slander (okay I was always indifferent about her and plus the slander has died down for years, but I have a feeling I will hear it yet again and I know I'll hate it).

Other game stuff: Mii slander (Miis are awesome, I will never get people who genuinely hate them). Nintendo forcing a video game music YouTuber to take down their Nintendo-related videos (it's the reason why the channels one of my favorite YouTubers (BrawlBRSTMs3 X) and a YouTuber I highly respected (GilvaSunner) are gone).

This or that? (in your own work or other's)

20. Art driven or script driven? Art driven.

21. Metaphorical interpretation or factual interpretation? That's difficult, because I really like both. Hmm... I guess metaphorical?

22. Fiction or nonfiction? Fiction, easily.

23. Low stakes or high stakes? Both.

24. Characters as storytelling tools or characters as people? Characters as people.

25. Long works or short works (any medium)? Short works, my attention span is too short.

26. Creating from joy or creating from pain? Definitely from joy. But art made from pain can be as if not even more beautiful.

27. Cover artwork: intricate or simple? Both. I can't choose.

28. Things don't make sense: should the ending explain or leave it be? Well I mean, it doesn't really matter for me. But if I had to choose, then leave it be.

29. Physical media or digital media? Digital media, but I also love physical media.
