Millenial Art Musing

Gather round, younglings, I’m about to tell a story about ye olde days. *rocker creaks*

My first and most beloved art form, the art that made me who I am, that made me as good as I am at what I do, is dead, is gone, is unreachable.

That might sound dramatic, but I mean that literally. My art form does not, can not, exist anymore. And that's a good thing, because of what it says about accessibility.

I was listening to one of my favourite ever albums when I had this realization today, Johnny Hollow’s 2003 self titled symphonic goth masterpiece. How I found this album was because they had an amazing website. No, really. Amazing. It was a flash masterpiece, where bugs crawled across the screen, different sound clips echoed over different sections, and you unlocked hidden tracks if you answered riddles. It was an artistic triumph. I do believe it won awards.

To modern internet users, that sounds absurd. But I was a web designer back in the days of hard coding, of fixed resolution design, of the surety that everyone was looking at your work from a very similar setup. I got out of web design when it become about scalability, when content management systems were becoming the new norm. Flash hasn’t existed in years, as a design form.

HTML is still the bones of the internet, but it has grown wings and learned to fly. This is good. My art form was not about making things as useable as possible - it was about individual design. Oh what, you have trouble reading 8px Courier in low-contrast color tones? Oh well! It’s art.

The internet should be for everyone, and what I was designing was not that. Yes, it was beautiful, but it was definitely art, not for conveying useful information or accessing tools. Would it be cool if I could make that kind of art again? As pure art? Yes. But there would be no way to make that happen, unless you did something scalable but artistic for the eight million ways people access the internet now. Which is not possible, so maybe if you could control every aspect of the way it was consumed. Which is not possible. Maybe I could do it as an art exhibit, where people came and sat on computers and clicked through incredibly slow pages on 56k to the humming of the computer fan. Ah, the old days.

I am who I am because of my first art. I became a programmer to make Sailor Moon websites, back in the days of Geocities and Angelfire. I learned whole other languages, could speak them fluently, still know common hex codes. (People ask my favorite colour, and I always say French Grey. But really it’s #E6E6E6.)

It is a bizarre and beautiful world to have come from. I miss the camaraderie of the my fellow web designers, those of us trading CSS hacks and joking about the best font style. One person with a credit card who owned a domain and hosted all their buddies, the joy of ridiculous subdomain names.

I am delighted by what the internet has become. But oh, the olden days.

Something millennials know but this new generation kinda skipped out on experiencing was that awkward transition period social media went through when people stopped using their real names online because sites let you make usernames instead and so now radio hosts and TV shows and podcasters and youtubers who wanted to do shoutouts had to adjust to more and more outrageous usernames and the awkwardness that accompanied vocalizing it out loud lol And there such a huge difference in like username aesthetics being visualized vs a username being vocalized out loud and idk man I think about this all the time because it's still so hilarious to me that not even ten years ago we went from "hey shout-out to Kyle!" To "hey, shout out to 'dollar sign at sign yen sign get cash money 007' on twitter!" And man I just

As much as we talk about mental health, I feel like we’re also perpetuating this culture of anti-forgiveness that is so against the idea that people can change, that it’s actually detrimental to mental health because the reality is, everybody makes mistakes, and a lot of people make big mistakes, but that doesn’t mean that they’re always bad people. I think we’re really damaging people’s mental health with this idea that people can’t reform. Just because you make a mistake, even if it’s a big one, does not mean that there’s anything inherently wrong with you and that you can’t do better, and we should stop perpetuating that idea. Anyway, that’s my two cents.

Man, remember how exciting it was to go to blockbuster as a kid? Especially when it was like, you and a friend having a sleepover on a Friday night, so your parents said you could pick TWO movies???

If you’ve already answered this then no worries, but what would the typical clan cat lifespan be then (assuming they don’t die prematurely from injury/illness). Just curious as to how many generations have passed since the clan’s founding in the 80 or so years.

Clan cat lifespans can be pretty variable! They're considered senior warriors at 5, but if all works out their lifespan is often 16 years. Kittens usually enter the picture for a parent who is 2 to 8 years old, but they COULD have them anywhere between 1 to 15.

Clan cats play less attention to raw age than to EXPERIENCE, though. It is socially discouraged for a fresh warrior to become a parent, and you are NOT an adult until you're out of apprenticeship. They see age like this;

Child: Less than 6 full moons SEEN. If a kitten's eyes were not opened when the first moon of their life passed over them, that is not a month they were alive.

Adolescent: The amount of time you are an apprentice. Flamepaw was considered a child while his sister was an adult.

Young Adult: The first full year out of apprenticeship, when you've handled a full year on your own. A warrior is only eligible for an apprentice after this length of time, so by extension a cat COULD be a mentor around age 2 (BUT that's considered young. 3 is a better bet.)

Adulthood is even more variable, because you're usually not considered "aged" until you've had an apprentice or a litter and you're around 5 years old. Without either of those things, you often won't be considered a "senior warrior" until you're as old as 8.

So to answer your question directly, you can comfortably estimate a new crop of warriors about every 5 years, and full population turnover every 15. Between the numbers, 8 is a good estimation of how long it takes for a generation to pass

(Though I'm more partial to historic events and time periods than crunching numbers like that)

Elders can hang on for a LOOONG time though-- One-eye over in ThunderClan was a personal friend of Pinestar and witnessed the Crusades before passing away at the tender age of 20-something.

#clan culture #better bones au #Age #It's good to remember that population isn't like salmon who die when they have kids #Gen X Millenials Z and Alpha are all coexisting right now #And imo the distinctions between the generations have much more to do with what we grew up with #I'm a lot more fond of the benchmark ''do you remember a time before 9/11'' to separate Millenials and Z for example #Rather than the imo silly division of the year 2k #One of those is much more meaningful to how you developed as a person than the other imo #A SECOND TREE HAS HIT THE RIPPLESTAR

Ok. ok. fellow Gen Z’ers. guys. gen alpha is like. 13? now. They’re starting to join the internet and we’re experiencing the first taste of not being “with the times”. but guys. We have a mission: BE NICE TO THEM. DONT BE DICKS TO THEM. TREAT THE YOUNGER GENERATIONS GOOD.

#saying this as a person who’s just nearly old enough to be a zoomer #zoomers are actually pretty old lmao #its weird cuz all the zoomers i interact with are teenagers n shit but some of yall are near THIRTY lmao #couldnt imagine #personally #anyways #officially adopting gen alpha as my younger siblings. #all of them. #gen z #gen z culture #zoomers #millennials #boomers #gen alpha #generation alpha #generational differences #millenials

hey I just wanted to say that b&g is one of my favorite pieces of undertale art in general. I'm muslim and the way you depict toriel reminds me of my own mother and other older muslim women that I meet a lot. It's very comforting. I don't see a lot of depictions of middleaged muslim women with dignity and respect that often. Of course, I love everything about your au and how you write all the characters, but toriel specifically really hits home for me

aww im really happy to hear that anon thank you :,,---( i remember Toriel originally wasnt supposed to be that big in my B&G world but with other characters getting their own time to shine (Kris and Susie about being teenagers trying to handle their struggles on their own, Undyne in being in her 20s but stuck in the past, etc) Toriel started developing in my mind, and her story is sort of an amalgam of all sorts of mothers and women ive met through babysitting and my own mother (though my mom isnt muslim as im a convert, so its all in just personality) so hearing someone else sees a little of their own mother in her warms me heart :,---] ty again

#i really wanted to tell a story with toriel of how often mothers feel like they have to give away their life for their children #not in that their children are burdens but in how isolating it can become to be a mother especially in the boomer/millenial era #my own mother talked a lot about how she didnt regret having us but she just couldnt pursue things about herself after being a mother #and toriel was going to be about how society and the culture around parenthood is so isolating and demanding #and her divorce from asgore was freeing her up to all these experiences she thought she was never going to have #because even though she lost what she thought was her support she was going to find it in the people around her #like undyne looking after her children and her making new friends in her older age #and her just finding community and realizing she has so much of her life ahead of her #it all just sort of comes back to watching my own mother grow through her divorce and how much it never really affected me #because while my mother Was struggling she was still her own person and not just My Mom or my Dads Wife #and she had a life she wanted to live And children she wanted to care for #boys & girls #fanart
