working and working and working and working and...

Hey y'all!! Hope everyone is doing alright. I'm so sorry for the lack of updates in these past months (it will almost be two months since the last update as I write this). I had, like, three important things to do, some more important than the others. Just today I've managed to deliver my avaliations for one of the courses I'm taking, which has been somewhat timing cosuming so having it finished just sorta eases the multitasking. Just before that I had another avaliation but it was for a different module, which also took a lot of my time, so having two of those back to back kinda sucked, but now I feel I finally have time to work on some more of my personal stuff, such as this site.
To be honest, another reason I haven't updated for a while might be because of an art block as well. I'm not sure how to explain it, but I haven't really had any ideas on what to draw and also no idea on what to write or how to write certain things. I think I just haven't gotten a moment for me to do something artistic for myself for a good while, so the wheels in my head are just rusted as shit. I'm sure that coming back to the site, working on personal videos and just drawing for myself will make my think pan working again. Frankly I feel that not being able to make something artistic is somewhat... stressful? Maybe that's the word I'm looking for. I mean, not only are other people looking forward to see more of my works, but I'm also looking forward to do more and if I'm not able to do that then it's just weird and I feel like I'm wasting my time, y'know? Am I being dramatic? Am I just making things complicated to myself, even though I never made a deal with anyone to deliver on these things? Honestly, I think so, but idk maybe it's just kinda hard to not think like that every once in a while, even if I, maybe, closed my eyes and did some heavy breathing, would understand things better.
But like I said before, I feel like I have more time to work on these things for me now, so I'll certainly fix this art block bullcrap eventually (In fact, I've got an feeling that I'm working it out by just writing all of this)!!

Joined a Discord server a little while ago:

One of the BIG things that I've done on these days away from sillyfes, was joining a Discord server about Chi's Sweet Home. I was invited to do so in last december in my guestbook while I was at my grandma's, by a admin of the CSH wiki, saying that they loved my shrine and saying that I even managed to help them out with some of my information. Honestly, the thought of joining a new server was somewhat intimidating as I haven't done that in a while. Maybe it that apparent, but meeting new people for me is kinda difficult, thus I normally stay on my lane most of the time. However, that thime I decided to join the server. Can't stay in my own cocoon forever, right?
It did took me a few weeks to join it once I came back. I felt that if I joined I should at least have full attention to interact, as the idea of joining and barelly being able to talk afterwards would seem pretty rude of me. Maybe I was just over thinking it, but when I finally found a good time to join, I did! And honestly everything has been alright since then. Everyone is really nice and good to talk to and I've also been learning way more about Chi than before. I think I'll need to add a little more stuff than Kanata Konami's fun facts when updating it LoL.
I'm really glad I was able to over come my insecurities for this and I happy to talk with new people that also like something I happened to like a lot as well.

Game making:

I've already commented on my atempts at game making a few times before. It's a big dream of mine to be able to make a videogame, in fact this very website was also a mean to make me accostumed to programming as a whole. Well, I do have some good news about that! I'm currently studying Game Maker Language through a course here in Brazil. It isn't some sort of tutorial, mind you, it activelly teaches us the very basics to get accostumed with the program and it's language, encouraging us to make our codes for ourselfs first and then see the resolution to the problem. One thing that sticked out to me was the teacher saying "there isn't a right or wrong way to make your code, it only matters if it works or not", which y'know probably isn't the first time I've heard that, but still, I think it's good to remember this type of stuff, even for webmaking and such.
I've also met some one a few weeks ago that also aspires to be a game maker! He told me he is learning unity, but he would love to learn gamemaker so he could make a game with me as well. I was very flattered by the offer and that just makes me want to study way more!! What a small world that we live in that we can just meet people with the same insterests as us with no problem, right? Can't wait for the future!

(My mom also commented that she finds it funny that I'm not that great at math, but I'm pursuing a career that revolves around it LoL)

Please read this:

One of the reasons it took me a while to write this blogpost is due to writes and rewrites of this specific subject. Palestinians are being killed and tortured by Isreal since decades now, and even with the genocide getting more attention in these last years nothing is being done. Iran also got bombed the USA just few weeks ago and it's very likely that most of it's population will be killed TODAY. There is also more and more proof that the current president of the USA is involved in the biggest sex trafficing organization in the world, with also clear proof that he himself has sexually assauted minors. Ukraine is still being targeted by Russia. Trans people are also being hunted all over the world, with more and more schemes by the government to kill them, including in India, where a bill was passed just recently for this very purpouse. Brazil, the country I live, also might be invaded by the USA in the future, with the obvious lie of "protecting the people from the crime organizations". These and a lot more of other atrocities are being done all over the world, maybe even when I writing this.
Please, what I want to ask of you out of this is: keep talking about these, keep searching about these, keep giving any kind of support that you can. "But I'm just one person!" I know, but if everyone thinks this way, then no one will be able to help at all! The most important thing that we can do is to keep these topics circulating. Knowledge is a human being greastest weapon, that's why those in power would've prefer if you didn't had a mind of your own. If you find other ways to help, such as donations for those in need, that would be wonderful as well, but spreading this knowledge to more people is also very helpful.

I'm sorry if this came off as a bit of a tonal shift or even a little insensitive. My plan at the start was to make the last part it's own blogpost, but I realized if I did do that, it could be easily avoidable for those that want to be kept on the dark, besides, if any blogpost that I would do after that would just keep this topic out of it's spotlight. I'm also posting this without any background music to not aliviate it's importance.
I hope I've managed to get my point across. I don't have much reach on social media and while I probably don't have much on the indie net either, I want to use anything I have to help those in need.

Well, I don't have much to talk about at the moment, so I'll wrap this up and go focus on others I got to work on. Will do my best to update thigs while dealing with my other responsibilities.
Hope everyone is doing okay! See ya!
