Presenting one of the most relatable artists on YouTube, Angel Ganev.

Traits include: comedic, sarcastic, has standards touching the cloud that even he cannot achieve, will roast/ constructive criticize your art for fun (quite helpful some of them), let's you make memes about his hair, used-to-be egg daddy.

Vanished after uploading his last video on November 23rd, 2020.

Reappeared 2 and a half years later with some milk,

Only to vanish again with the sentence,

"I promise to read every comment, what I'm not promising is another video soon"

Anyways, he's the same guy whose art was circulating pinterest a few years back.

These for example.

Some of his latest art posts on Instagram,

Check him out if you're an artist, a beginner or someone who's just bored and wants someone new on their feed.

#en ruminates #i didn't know he was back until the day before yesterday when i was checking my subscriptions #quiet an interesting human if you ask me #artist #digital aritst #youtube #Angel Ganev #today on tumblr

When did our generation become so obsessed with the past we stopped living?

Bring back 80s fashion we say, 90s hairstyles, 2000s music.

What about 2020s? Do we have nothing to share? Nothing to show? Nothing to hold on to?

Why are we still living in the pandemic, unable to move forward? How long are we to mourn the ages we lost? How long will it take to embrace that we'll no longer be, no longer are the kids, the teens we were supposed to be?

Do we ever get out? Does the darkness ever end?

#en ruminates #we talk as if we aren't in the early 2000s anymore #2024 is still early if you look at it #we've got time until we reach mid century #i miss the teenhood I didn't have #writeblr #desiblr #80s #90s #2000s #covid #writing #thoughts #musings on life #2024

i learned a while ago that the whole "most of the stars we see in the sky are actually already dead because they're so far away that we're seeing them as they were thousands of years ago" thing is a myth because stars live so long that it's unlikely many, if any, of them have burned out yet, but i'm still glad that myth exists because there's just something about the thought of the sky as a graveyard of stars that gets to me

Tumblr has this weird kind of peer pressure? Vibe? idk like, where's your inner child? Why are you not expressing them?? Why the restraints?? You want to keep them chained?? This is tumblr you can let them out, it's okay.

#there's this sense of power that comes to me #when i think #what would happen #if i let my evil out #oh you'd be so dead if i went out of control #evil cackling
