...so yeah Twine 2 is actually obnoxious AF...
Nah, but for real, I feel ya. This smacks a lot of the stuff going through my head when I was a teenager. Art's hard, dude. Communication's hard. Vulnerability is scary.
You know, Mark Gonzalez (the skater & artist) said in an interview once that he grew up skating & art'ing as a sort of way to communicate with a thing that's not alive but still his friend, in a sense. He apparently struggled with communication a lot, as a kid.
This reminds me of that. Like communicating with a thing instead of the scary kind of communication with other humans. Then maybe those other humans tease apart whatever comes out as a result & grow to understand you a bit more as a result. Or at least some idea or feeling hanging on your head at the time.
I appreciate your communication with this thing. I won't say it's the best thing ever but I hear you. Maybe that's the important bit.

fun fact, i actually did scramble my own twine project for that one shot so now going back and editing the damn thing is impossible xD
Twine 2 [harder this time]
ty for the thoughtful comment tho, i did not expect "i rant in a twine game for a bit" to reach anyone, but apparently it did and thats something haha. "self -> thing? -> other people or world" is an interesting framing. i will tear it apart with my little gay hands, ty :p
