finally... I got this over with...
edit: September 10th - I am no longer in the "artists and writers" community. ignore any mention of that community in this article.
I'm going to talk about the hashtag, the art, myself, and some other stuff.
sorry I made this so long... i ramble way too much... why'd I make it so long for... i keep worrying too much over nothing... it's like the longer I take, the more stuff i add on to it...
there are questions at the bottom, so if you're not going to read the whole thing, please look at them... it's about the communities and other stuff. also read the *about the communities* section near the top.
no one's gonna read the whole thing... i understand why you wouldn't...
the sections will be bolded with the * thing at the ends of it, like this, *this is what it looks like*
i feel like right now isn't the right time to post this, but I was getting impatient... i was supposed to make this post like a month ago... but something keeps happening... something's always happening... a bunch of Sonic quests showed up, some guy I got worried too much about for some reason... my first and only dog I used to have... edit: forgot to mention we got a new kitten...
and by impatient, I mean not working on it for a few weeks... i keep procrastinating... i could've been done a while ago... but I didn't... why didn't I...
I'm sorry if this type of post is a bit much... it's my first time using the communities and stuff... but I just feel like the first time of anything should be special... i guess... maybe I shouldn't have...
i don't know why I wanted to make this such a big deal, but it's too late to change it... now I'm just worrying way too much... again...
*small gif rant*
stupid gifs! why don't you play the way I wanted you to do!? sometimes it's too slow, sometimes it's too fast, I set some frames to play faster then others and it made a different frame faster instead, one frame stays longer when I didn't even want it to do that, I set one gif to not loop and it loops anyways...! it plays fine when I put it in, but when I check later, nope... unless it fixes itself when I post it, then that's dumb... when I try a transparent gif, it makes the background white... and when the gif loops, it pauses for a bit... Game Jolt is weird with gifs! i just gave up trying to fix it... it was taking too long... and of course Game Jolt becomes slow when I wanted to post this... became slow on July 26.
edit: it didn't do it...!
*about the communities*
i hope I did the community thing right... did I use the channel thing right? i didn't even know that was a thing before... i don't know what type of post this would categorized as in what channel... I'm not going to make this type of post again, so I hope these channels are good enough...
more questions are at the bottom
i hope i chose the right art communities... there are so many... i hope I'm not doing anything wrong... tell me if I am please and not remove it... i could fix it... hopefully...
i read all the rules of the communities and I think I'm good on not breaking any of them... i hope...
why'd I chose these communities? someone recommended some of them to me, and i thought some of them were obvious not to be in...
*about the #*
i say I did the art a lot... so I thought it made sense...
please don't use it, I made it specifically for me...
I went through all my posts to put the hashtag in... it took a long time, so I hope you look at them... you don't have to if you don't want to though... i don't want to force you...
i will make other types of hashtags for different types of posts later too. i want to make them more accessible. I will post something about that when I finish looking through them... again... when I feel like it... hopefully pretty soon... i don't want to look though more...
i thought of this idea because of the community thing. i was thinking of doing this to other types of posts too, but I thought that would take too much time... but I'll do it someday... but then later, I saw someone newish to Gamejolt, and they had the same idea. they had hashtags for the different type of posts they had. i wish I thought about that stuff when I first started... i didn't even use hashtags back then... where'd they go? did they leave? i was following them...
i tried to put a bunch of hashtags I could think of to all the posts I've made, but then I thought I should only put the new hashtag instead of a bunch of hashtags... it took me way too long, that I gave up on that... but at least I put the new hashtag to all my art posts now...
i wanted to put like a silly or most proud of art #, so you can find my specific art... but you can't search for more then one hashtag, because it would search for one of the hashtags (or words) and not together... it would search for them if they were apart...
*about the art in the post*
i did the art
i say that so you know I did it, and if I didn't do it, I will tell you and put a link to where I found it.
to be honest, I drew this quickly... i don't know if not having art on it would get the post removed from the communities... i don't know if this post would get deleted... i hope not... even if someone tells me it's fine, I still get worried that it will...
and by quickly, I mean hours... i couldn't decide on how the hair would look... (i chose number 17 in the hair gif) and then I did the faces... why'd i do that...? i don't know how I take so long on somethings when I did that Sonic art in about an hour and a half... i just gave up and chose that hair...
i think I take a long time on things sometimes because it's how worried I get... sometimes I don't do anything on some days...
i actually did this drawing before the Sonic one... i just... got scared to post this... but then I decided to do a whole bunch of other stuff for this post for no reason...
i actually like how this drawing looks. it reminds me of Animal Crossing and Undertale. that was unintentional...
they are wearing a zipper hoodie. i like those. I have a lot in my closet...
this is actually my 50th art post with art I've made. that's a coincidence... coincidences happen to me a lot... this makes this post even more special to me...
this is also my 160th post too...
i don't post things sometimes when I want a post to be on a specific number when I notice it...
*about me I guess... you know where else to look if you want to know more about me*
i don't know if more people would actually show up, but I wanted to be prepared anyways...
i don't really have an art style... I've been just trying random ones/things... i just draw it and that's how it looks... sometimes I like how some look, and I use them more often... maybe I have a random art style... i don't know...
I'm trying to be better at doing art.
the drawing looks different depending how I feel... if I feel good, the art might look good...
i don't know what to draw most of the time, so I just do the fanart Friday thing if I'm interested in what it is...
I do random things, not just art, so I wanted my art to be easily found with the hashtag.
I'm depressed a lot... so be weary of that... sometimes I sound... eh... sorry...
i worry a lot...
I can be really silly too, so don't worry...
i ramble a lot, so I hope you don't mind...
don't be mean please... and if there's something wrong with the post, tell me... i don't want to make a mistake...
I'm not sure how many people are going to see this, but I said all of this just in case...
i don't want unnecessary follows ok... only follow if you actually like a lot of my stuff and not a few...
i don't deserve all those followers... I deserve way less...
i don't follow people for no reason, so I think you should do the same!
the followers count means nothing to me... I'm only posting things just for me to do something because I've been doing absolutely nothing for so long...
proofreading takes a long time for me because I don't want to make a mistake in any of my posts or comments... but sometimes I mess up... i might want to add something else to the posts too. i read it multiple times just in case...
I'm very shy and not very confident... but maybe something like this will help...
*special thanks*
i would like to thank @Valischli 
for helping me and making me understand a lot of things. also I would like to thank you for getting me motivated, I probably wouldn't be doing so well if you weren't here... you are the nicest person I've ever met... no one's ever token the time to help me... unless it was their job...
i hope it was ok that I mentioned you... I'll remove it if you want and if I can... I've never done this before... like mention someone...
i didn't @ you because...
I got scared...
I'll fix it later if you think it's ok... and if I can...
well I guess this wouldn't be a surprise if I did @ you...
edit: they said it was ok, so I added the @.
*about fan art for franchises and other stuff*
when I do fanart I won't be posting it in a community or two because I want to add that game's community that it belongs to, like Sonic The Hedgehog. unless that game doesn't have a community for it. when I do Nintendo fanart i won't post them in two art communities because of the Nintendo community and other Nintendo communities like Mario and Kirby. unless a Nintendo game doesn't have a community for it...
the inspiring artist hangout is one I won't post fanart for franchises that have communities in maybe because there's no fanart channel in that community... I'm sorry... i don't know what the other one would be if I do Nintendo fanart... artist and writers too maybe... it doesn't have a fan art channel too... I'm not sure...
the communities I'm in is what I'm into. i will add more when they become relevant to what I post.
random idea, instead of calling the things like folders or gallery (if they ever add them), maybe call them channels, just like the community thing, but you can put one post in multiple channels instead of just one. they will either show up in the profile or in the about section next to the communities.
i wish there was a search by old to new or new by old, but there isn't... it's not in order when you search... the top section confuses me... it needs search options! maybe you could search for stuff in someone's profile? can that be a thing?
i also want a way to see all my comments, so I can keep track of them.
*questions*
what's a doodle? is this a doodle?
what is digital art and traditional art?
if I do a very, very simple 2 frame animation, should I put that in the animation channel or something else? (like if I just bend stick legs, or move an arm) but what if it's memey too? should I put that in a meme channel or the animation channel if it has one? example one -example two - example three - they're simple... I'm not an animator...
what is considered an art meme exactly? I love them sometimes but I'm not sure what it means... is it based off of a meme or is it just something jokey? should I put the jokey ones in the meme channel?
should I put pokemon in the Nintendo community? to be honest, I don't really think pokemon as Nintendo, it's just pokemon has to be Nintendo exclusive/on a Nintendo console, except mobile. Game Freak is the one who made it, not Nintendo really... Game Freak can release any game they make (except pokemon) on other consoles, and they have before. they even collaborate with Sega before.
questions for artist and writers community - 1. just to be sure... what is venting exactly? i know there's ventilation shaft... but I don't think that's what that means... - 2. does fanart go in the fanfiction channel or is that something else? if it is, maybe call it fanfiction/fanart so no one gets confused... like me...
I'm not good with words... i have basic grammar... vocabulary...
*end*
i don't know who actually read all of this because it's so long... but if you did, you're a good one. sorry if I wasted your time... thank you for reading it though... i hope you can help me with other stuff I don't understand in the future...
