Whoops I forgot I'm supposed to be posting here lol I got absorbed into my interests

Like a few weeks ago I was feeling one of my really bad swings of depression again and I was seriously thinking it was over for me and then the universe started fucking popping off fr. Not even half way through and already this year has been one of the best years in FOREVER for indie horror/psych horror/analogue horror lovers. I already mentioned how hyped I am about the revival of the fnaf fandom bc of the movie and the trailer for the Security Breach DLC (even tho Security Breach was a bit disappointing I loved that it made the fandom more active again), but holy shit everything has been thrown at me all at once. 

Amanda the Adventurer is SO fucking cool, I love the tone, the puzzles are so fun and a good balance of challenging but not impossible while still being creative, and I feel like you rarely see black leads in indie horror and I just know had it been around when I was a kid I would've loved seeing a girl like me in a genre I loved, esp since she's not portrayed stereotypically. 

I recently got dragged violently into the Welcome Home fandom /j. I'd seen it blow up on my fyp a while ago and had absolutely no clue what it was and I kept repeatedly forgetting to look it up for like a month. I finally got to looking it up and was instantly obsessed and now I can barely think about anything else. My entire fyp is Welcome Home now I actually barely get any other content. My YouTube recommended is filled with iceberg videos, theory videos, video essays, and "all secrets" videos about Welcome Home. I'm teaching myself to sew because I want to Cosplay Wally Darling and I couldn't find pants that looked good enough so I'm just gonna make them. I stayed up til nearly 5 last night painting the shoes (they're not even done lol). I actually finally remembered to look it up bc I was thinking bad depression thoughts and needed to distract myself so I figured it would be good bc it required heavy thought. It's certainly distracted me. Wally Darling is my newest comfort character and singlehandedly destroyed my depressed mood in like 3 hours. I haven't thought bad thoughts since because it's all just Wally Darling. I was really frustrated looking up the stuff for the cosplay tho bc the stuff wasn't all right and this cosplay is important to me so I need it to be how I envision it. Cosplay is a very deep form of self expression to me and I feel the fuck out of Wally Darling so I want to reaaalllyyy express myself when I cosplay him. It's like my own little escape. I'm so excited to put it all together I just know it's gonna feel great. 

GENERATION LOSS IS FINALLY HERE AND IT'S A THOUSAND TIMES BETTER THAN I COULD'VE EVER EXPECTED. For anyone who knows nothing about this, Generation Loss is an interactive live analogue/psych horror project created by RanbooLive (my fav comfort streamer for a couple years now). It's live streamed on his twitch channel and includes elements of improv based off of the decisions made by the viewers. All the acting is done live on a real set. I didn't know this shit was literally acted out in real time until like a week before the first chapter it's literally been INSANE. It's a mystery about our hero (Ranboo) ending up controlled by some unknown power (most likely an organization from what we know so far) and forced to take place in a show for the entertainment of the viewers (so it being streamed to us is canon and we're part of the canon universe). It starts out all silly and slowly becomes more and more ominous as we uncover the dark reality of this control and that this organization is not what it seems. There's only one more stream left for Generation 1 and I'm already so sad because I want to know what happens so badly. I don't remember how many Generations there's supposed to be (pretty sure more than 3) but I'm already extremely invested in this story. The production value has been SO good, all the crew and actors have worked SO hard and SO well, and you can tell how extremely passionate and proud Ranboo feels about this project which makes me so happy. The project has been in production for a little over a year I think but Ranboo has said they've thought about this for a really long time. I'm so happy I'm here to see it! 

It feels like it's been so long since I've been apart of such exciting horror fandoms. I feel like recently indie horror just hasn't been indie horroring like it used to. These games/projects have been giving me the nostalgic vibes of being part of the Sally Face, Fran Bow, Doki Doki Literature Club, and og fnaf fandoms in like 4th-7th grade. I fucking love indie horror.
