Okay, so... umm, is this thing on...?
Jk! I'm not actually, like, recording anything with a camcorder or something, but rather typing this blog as random and mundane thoughts pop into existence and sorta organically flow over to the, whaddyacallit, uh, front of my mind, and then I input them into this plastic thingamajig called a computer, which then serves as the doorway portal to this virtual realm called "the world wide web".
Isn't it super-duper crazy how the world wibe web, the internet, has only been around for, liek, three or so decades, and we merely take it for granted as it progressively merges with the so-called "real world" and ubiquitously ecomes a single, inexorable entity that, while simultaneously allowing us to escape into an infinity of different dimensions - including SpaceHey, which is were I'm escaping into rn - has us caged within the nuances of boundless freedom?
Well, mayhaps I'm just blabbering a whole lotta nonsense about the digital modernity we're into... if so, then I'd like to profusely - and pretentiously - apologize to whoever stumbles upon this and gives this a read and feels confused or lost or even remotely annoyed or saddened. I just happened to find myself clueless on what was blog writing-worthy material for my first SpaceHey blog, and the first thing that really felt like suitable for me to give it a try was this potentially infamous topic, which is a constant elephant in the room for me...
Mundane, ordinary small talk is very magnetizing to me. I contemplate small talk as one of the most timelessly charming things of our Earthling world. But rudimentary, simplified constructs like small talk and Spacehey blogs about small talk will always inevitably abstract themselves into compliqué fabrications, regardless of how much we realize it.
I really only wanted to talk about how creepypasta stories, which were so all over the place liek, going back seven to ten years ago, can now be considered oldschool - maybe even vintage, if I do say so myself - internet pop culture, but then I - mayhaps needlessly - complexified this into some sort of unconscious catharsis on how I, as a zoomer born during the mid 2000s, feel about having grown up with boundless freedom on the internet, growing up to have a lot on my plate due to being desensitized, and how the rabbit hole that is nostalgia - which is my favorite feeling ever - brings me bittersweet, escapist comfort, moreso during times of distress, such as the ongoing viral pandemic - which, where I live, is dangerously ravishing.
Dagnabbit, I think I'm gonna have to don glasses for sore eyesight soon, ack... 'neway, I just find it both funny and enchanting that younger people are just now discovering this not so long-lost pathos of creepy internet copypasta tales - kinda of like forlorn internet folklore. I know its never going to be or feel the same - both for me, for you and for them too - but it definitely doesn't have to - for all of us. Creating new memories is an integral part of life, just like rediscovering olden memories - the two are fulcral to how we, as humans, beings of high collective and individual personalities, deal with the inevitable hardships that come and go, never without changing us forever - be it on the surface, be it molecularly.
Again, again, I feel unapologetically sorry for mayhaps tricking you into believing my first blog was about creepypasta - don't get me mistaken, though! Think I could go on and on and on about some that I've read. Really, all I wanted was to write something on my Spacehey account. I'm not aware of wether my ulterior, insidious intention - unbeknownst to me - was to get something off of my chest, or to garner interaction off of a topic I'd share common interest with someone, or even to just talk about it.
I do know that I only wanted to do small talk about something random like creepypasta, but I guess I strayed far, far away from those shallow, yet welcomingly safe waters and went on to making everything complic8ed, just like Avril Lavigne sang, just like I always do... definitely not proclaiming any of this baloney-laden blog as deep, though!
Ultimately, there's a very bewitching je ne sais quoi in bittersweet feelings such as nostalgia to me... I guess its a juxtaposition mechanism for my most contrasting kaleidoscope of feelings to remind me that not everything will be okay at any given second or minute or day or year or time, and that that's okay, because not everything will also not be okay.
Btw, just because I'm craving a glass of water, what have you, reader, been listening to? To me, music is simply everything! Music is sound, a sine wave, but its also colour and art and feelings and math! I've really been digging Brazilian rock music lately, especially this "Ciano" record, by an emocore band called Fresno. My favorite song on it is called "Infância", which can be roughly translated to "Childhood"!
I've also been obssessed with a song called "Nuvens e Temporais" (meaning "Clouds and Thunderstorms) by another Brazilian emocore band whose name is Darvin, and with another one called "Vento no Litoral" ("Wind by the Seashore"), by post-punk eighties band Legião Urbana.
Just gave my first full listen to Blink-182's "Enema of the State" record as well and, wowzers, I feel like this album is the anthology of pop punk music. Every song on it rly is a banger!
K, off with this one-sided musical tête-à-tête... so to really wrap things up on this blog, I feel like creepypasta becoming oldschool internet stuff to me, is really the metonymy of some of my most nostalgic, confusing thoughts and feelings on growing up, on creating new memories, on cherishing old ones and on letting go too. The latter one's defo the hardest for me, but sometime I know it's gonna feel right.
Find it very funky that little kid me's boogeyman was Slenderman and company. Wonder what or who's the new internet boogeyman? Sirenhead? I don't even ponder Sirenhead as originating from the creepypasta world, but I figure it's pretty popular online nowadays. Love Trevor Henderson's work, big fan!
Hope I can find it in me to blog about stuff on Spacehey with more solidity and focus more often. Felt liek this one was way too fluid and all over the place... but I suppose I did accomplish one thing: I finally wrote something for Spacehey, which took me long enough, mostly due to me wanting to complete my profile's layout and being hindered by my starter's inability to mess with CSS coding...
I guess that's it for today, I dunno? ? See you, (im)possible reader, soon enough! Promise I'll strive and shoot for the moon with making my next one less clumsy. Wish you all a very sweet sunday and week! And don't ever forget to mask up, to stay home and to be on lookout for your vaccination schedule, we'll get through this! <3333

It may be considered dead among "normal ppl" but there are still active fans and writrs ! Its just a really small community nowdays.
so true ! ! i have even caught myself rewatching those creepypasta readings with real time drawings videos a month or two ago, guess it really is forever cool not to be part of the “normal ppl” and still enjoy those xD nice to read this from someone with a jeff the killer profile picture, even though it’s been a while since you replied !

hii, so my adhd brain found ur blog very interesting to read so heres my opinion on this, i think that with the passing of the years some fandoms like the creepypasta one is considered "dead" because kids nowdays have moved onto new fandoms like poppy playtime, plus if you think about it creepypastas didnt completely disappear, just transformed under new format which may be backrooms or scps but they are still creepypastas, maybe not the classical ones we are used to but under a certain point of view the creepypastas arent dead, they just- morphed
from one adhd brain to another, i really, really appreciate you finding this little piece interesting x3 it’s from when i first got into spacehey and 2000s nostalgia ( in some kinda wannabe way, i must admit ), and i so very much agree with what you contributed as a reply to my post, so thank you for your input as well !
new horror fandoms do come and arise, just like fnaf a decade ago, and new formats to tell internet horror are constantly emerging, like those weird “the fog is coming” types of memes and what-not, or the lost soundwave songs too . i guess creepypasta have really morphed into many ramifications, but their impact will remain through and through as part of the canon - maybe the pantheon, like in mythology - of our unsupervised internet acess-laden childhoods and teenagehoods
p.s.: is your pfp’s inspo marble hornets ? it’s so cool ! even though i’m one year late in replying Dx
