Tragic Prince

[ID: a box contains the item description of a shirt in the game Castlevania: Circle of The Moon titled “stylish suit” with text describing it saying “you’ll be popular when wearing this”. Nathan Graves, who is holding the shirt described, gets an idea. An arrow leads to an image of Nathan wearing the shirt and standing under a sign that says “Cotm”, as a small group of people completely ignore him in favor of going to a sign that says “Any other CV thing” . Another arrow leads to an image of Nathan with unkempt hair in the dark writing a 0/5 star review of the shirt on a computer. End ID]

ID under cut

[ID: Two drawings of castlevania character Soma Cruz in bat form. The bat in the bottom left corner is white with pinkish wings and ears, pouting at the camera. The bat in the top right is also white, but his ears are a white flesh tone, and he is screaming. The photos at the bottom were the reference photos, and thus are very similar, but with more detail.

One more castlevania doodle for now ⛓️

I know it's been talked about before but I still don't think it's been emphasized how *fucked* today's internet experience is for children. I didn't know what the word "discourse" was when I was 8, or 10, or even 13. I was too busy playing the nigh-limitless amount of flash games out there on the internet and making sure my neopets were fed. Like I cannot stress enough that if I had free time on the computer, 9 times out of 10 I could go and play a jaunty little game someone had whipped up and put out there for no other reason than that creating games was awesome and easy to do. Or go to some page that existed just to collect memes; you see back then there were more than 4 sites, and you didn't need accounts to visit them. I didn't get targeted ads. I wasn't exposed to any sort of political ideology. I spent a lot of time on the computer but no one site monopolized my time or tried to fucking manipulate me into using it more. The internet was for more than one thing back then, and honestly I don't think enough people realize how much has been stolen from us.
