In hell world, a world which is hell, there is only hell

Hi, it's Nabocchan. It's been a while.

I've been creating stuff infrequently (as has Aleximander) while this site has been frozen in time, but I've chosen not to post any of it because I'm striving to produce higher quality bullshit meme trash. Sorry.

Aleximander and I have been working on a new album for no one to listen to. I don't want to say too much about it yet because despite being in development for like ever it's still conceptually very squishy and fluid at this stage. When it's congealed baked into a firm idea mass I'll maybe post an update on it. Or maybe we'll just release it when it's done.

We've both been learning how to create actual music, and will ideally have hit a point where we're too normal to be interesting but too bad to be listenable by the time we finalize the tracks. Expect nothing, not even whatever entertainment you (the hypothetical listener, who does not exist because no one listens to our shit) salvaged from Make Me Ideal.

Maybe one of us will actually write stories that aren't godawful someday but uh lolllllllllll


Oh also:

I've been seeing a lot of stuff lately that's like "Trump is secretly in love with [other male politician] (and that's bad, because... presumably being gay is a bad thing?)" which is a really astoundingly bad tack to take in criticizing anyone–I'm not here to lecture, but my point is actually that I've reexamined how often male-male romance is presented within a humorous context in my stuff on this site and it's something I want to move away from. That's not to say that everyone is just gonna be straight forever or whatever, but it needs to be a lot clearer that the characters being gay is not part of the joke.

A more minor thing is that it's been a while since I started posting here, and I'm no longer surrounded by teens because I'm no longer a teen myself. Having been far enough removed from that setting to stop being an ass, I don't think that making fun of teens is really a good look for the future. Same goes for the weird weeb shit that correlates with being a teen. What does this leave me with?

Probably nothing, which is probably healthy, probably maybe. I think it's better to rebuild than to double down on something I've outgrown.

Of course with all of this I'm only speaking for myself, and I'll be leaving up all my old stories and everything. Both because this site is a collaborative effort (so it wouldn't really be super great of me to start pulling content) and because I still think parts of them are genuinely entertaining.

Also Make Me Ideal was a great album fuck youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

Ahem.

Hopefully these changes will usher in a New Age of Trash. Better, more powerful trash.

Or this site will just lie inactive forever because we've all realized we're not actually funny, and sucking the sludge from the bottom of the meme barrel (which is, to be fair, filled entirely with sludge) can only go so far in addressing that.

No promises there, yeah?
♥, Nabocchan



P.S. I know the site background is broken but I don't know when I'll care enough to fix it so enjoy it as another spice in the awful garbage broth we serve here.
