how did finals go
I passed my classes this semester yipee horray
winter break
Over winter break so far i've been living at my dad's and i have done barely anything. I think the first day I slept and played games, second day i will get back to in a second and third and fourth have been mostly sleeping and doing other misc stuff that isn't working on personal projects. The biggest thing i've worked on has been these two flipnote stickmen fight animations i've made in an entirely random burst of energy to do so. i haven't properly animated anything in 2d for probably 8 years at this point but i picked it up and i'm pretty happy with how they've come out, even if they are really short
the stickman animations
the first one i made out of boredom and it really doesn't feature anything interesting other than setting up a "enemies to lovers" joke that leads into the next animation. Here's the second one. it's got a lot more action and stickman blood and stuff and I really like how it's coming out. i haven't worked on it in two days but that is besides the point
It made me realize how long animation takes though like what i have right now was around 8 hours of work and my neck hurt a lot after looming over the one by one inch 3ds screen
I just uploaded it btw and thank you youtube for picking the coolest frame in the whole animation for the thumbnail there was no input from me it just did that
the second day
what
the second day of winter break
oh yeah i remember this
i was really in the dumps the night before dude. i really don't remember what was bothering me so much or if it was anything in particular, but the night before I was just really out of it. I listened to deathconciousness willingly for goodness and i dont do that because its a really really good album but it's REALLY upsetting to listen to
but the day after i did nothing from 10AM-4PM, literally half of it was doomscrolling and the other half was sitting on the ground in front of my heater and leaning against my bed. ohh my god my bed it's become a whole thing i'll get to it in a second. but on that day i was constantly thinking to myself, "You have to get up dude. do something work on something you have literally so many things you could do so many things you want to work on, just jump start yourself and get up and get something out and work on it or just play something for god sakes" and I just sat there. usually if i urge myself to do something i do it but that day i just didn't. i dont know why
Maybe it was just finals fatigue catching up to me and then blowing my head off and grinding me to a pulp or something i really dont know but after that whole thing i made stickman fight animations against all odds so i think i'm doing better now than i was a few days ago. still sleeping way too much though, bed calls to me too much
the bed
dude wake up
oh yeah i remember this
okay i started this section and then went to bed and i woke up now the next day and i forgot what i was going to say i'm so serious. here's an entry of my dream journal for last night instead
DEC 18, 2025
Had a dream that I was looking through old Godot projects and showing them to [my brother], and I opened one that I hadn’t worked on in a while (it doesn't exist irl). It was this fnafish game set in a really big abandoned mansion/cabin place out in the snowy woods, and you would play in this small room in the back while trying to fend monsters/robots/whatever off. I think there were security cameras too, you could see the monsters moving on them in real time. I remember thinking, “wow i don’t know why I stopped working on this, it’s gotten pretty far and it looks near completed, i should pick it back up and finish it.” I also remember that for some reason the whole building was being rendered despite the player only being in a closed-off room. I think there was some sort of vent/door closing mechanic that you had to drag and keep held down with your mouse.
this dream was a lot better than every other dream ive had in the past few weeks, they're all so much nothing it's insane. The night before i had a dream where i made a burger out of bun patty cheese and a ton of frosting and surprise surprise it fell apart and didnt taste good and that was it. i don't often have good dreams, but i prefer full pedal to medal scary or distressing or upsetting dreams over "i played tarkov and my finger hurt a bit and it was hard to play the game" (that dream was about 2 years ago i think).
the formatting is slightly off from here on i dont know how to fix it
