Posting this here semi-exclusively (after putting it out on Soundcloud and shown to a few friends), "wide" release will be after video's done (that's been put on hold 4 months ago).

Not the best, said some things I wouldn't, broke grammar, but it's something.

Originally published on twitter between 2022-12-15 and 2023-07-25, it is an 11 part serial, each part fitting into a single tweet (280 characters at the time of writing). The main influence should be reasonably clear.

Just managed to push it out before midnight, now it's 0:04.

Audio-only and instrumental versions are available on my soundcloud, all under CC-BY.

technically there's also an a capella version, but that's privated

Video is "low effort", but still took almost 7 hours to make (starting with writing out the lyrics on paper, scanning the papers, editing and cutting up the images, yada-yada-yada, rendering the video, and finally running through ffmpeg again because I changed my mind on one thing and using an ffmpeg filter was faster then re-rendering).

Can you draw? Do you want to draw? If you can and want, then draw a new banner for this community!

The original banner was made in 5 minutes, 4 of which was looking for a font (which is Macondo). It was later changed by removing the icon from it. The colors used in the icon are

• yellow: #feff00
• blue/indigo: #5b00ff

If you agree, I kind of like the icon and would like to keep it for now, but the banner is just, for the lack of a better term, very very very bad.

Feel free to reach out, and any other suggestions/ideas are welcome in the comments.

Due to Reddit being jaki, I propose this community to serve as an open replacement. Currently there are no long-term plans and I have admittedly no experience with moderating/running a subreddit community, so help would we welcome.

Icon and banner art by me, font used in banner is Macondo.
