anyway stoked for when i actually finish this video, it's out and i can move my neuroses onto smth else :)

just kind of a weird mental hangup of mine

friend brought up that it might be an ocd thing but i kinda doubt i have it cause like, it's not actually affecting my ability to go forward with making stuff (that's the adhd more than anything) it's just a weird neurotic feeling i'm having during it

While i'm going down memory lane I like how this 2016 Roll looks, it's very "me" even today

and personally i think there's a lot more value in decoupling the idea of strength, however you may interpret it, from the concept of gender expression entirely

magical girl media does this perfectly even when it pushes more regressive gender bullshit in other areas

a lot of extremely uncreative people think subverting a stereotype is the height of progressive thought but the idea that a strong woman is defined by copying masculine traits isn't especially progressive when the vast majority of women don't _want_ to take on a traditionally masculine persona
