So I havent logged on Snapchat for a long time & when I tried it again now it's got its own AI chatbot. We told jokes and they're all receh as fugg

Recreated my old profile on Bentio (a Twitter clone that existed somewhere in 2012-2013 just before the pandemic) in Adobe Illustrator. The site died when I least expected it.

Over the years I’ve tried alternatives to a bunch of mainstream social media & they often die without warning, taking all our data along with them, to the point of me getting tired of trying any new social websites. All i’m left with is the nostalgic feeling and recreating the screenshots will do fine.

Red n purpleWhen I first met Kamila (or Amel for a friendly nickname cuz she has a lot of nicknames) one of the first things I noticed was her fondness of Emily The Strange. She stored some Emily pictures in her computer and played Emily flash games from the website, sometimes showing me some of the stuff whenever I’m around. I had this idea of making herself a version of Emily the Strange and that’s when she got her first username, Amelstrange. Short for Amel the Strange, which was all black and purple, because red is already taken by Emily.

I had no bad memories from this color combination, all I can remember were the sweet times she and I tried copying Emily the Strange pics found online into Amel The Strange drawings on MS paint. We laughed a lot too during the process cuz MS Paint is bad (unless you know how to work with it) and I knew how to use Photoshop back then but both of us still had no pen tablets, so we drew using a mouse and boy were our artworks tacky.

Initially I wanted to make this journal entry’s intro a bit Twenty-One-Pilots-ish but I can’t find the words to fit this so-called attitude.

To keep it brief I like being presented two things of the same kind in different colors. It doesn’t have to be two, the more the merrier. Different colored shirts or watches of the same kind, anything, and they seem to sorta show up everywhere. Scratch that extra baggage, let’s talk color schemes and combinations.

People might not get why I pay attention to some color schemes, they only think I like how those two or more colors appear together. To be honest some color combinations triggered glimpses of certain periods of time in my creative process, where it brings bitter memories but sweet sensations, usually peppered with different fandoms & the usual copying and envy vicious cycle. Sometimes I wish I could re-live those moments but I want to change the storyline completely, eliminating embarrassing mistakes and maximizing the strength of those color bombs in my head but it seems like on their own, said color bombs are already strong enough to poison my brain from time to time.
