didn’t think very much when making this one. and now its done. i hope u like it.

alt image link (blahaj zone, worse quality)

* brainmade notice:

  • most of the text on-screen is not my work. it stems from “Daisy Bell”, a song by by Harry Dacre.
  • the rest is my work

gradients make a whole image, don’t they? but they are lazy. in this case i airbrushed over it with some stronger colors so it’s not as uniform. you may notice more yellow on the right and more pink on the left.

catbox works again! you know what that means! imma have to switch up all the posts i had to make with the terrible blahaj zone image compression. imma update all those images so y’all get to see the raw png full quality versions (which are still less than 0.2 MB each, of course).

i just showered. have no more energy drinks. but i had coffee. maybe that’s okay.

i thought of doing another purple-post, specifically about lilac telling white to close their work laptop, and once they do, lilac praises them. might still do that. will do that. maybe even today, so get ready for a day 8.5 or 9 very soon. it will likely be day 9, since the two days after tomorrow, i will be out with friends and wont have laptop-access.

so either you get lovingly pre-produced posts, or you get weird photos with text ontop. we’ll have to see.

i hope you have a lovely day ~

    The picture is beautiful and the lyrics remind me of when I was a child and mom would sing it so happily

    It brought me a ton of joy, thank you for making it! 💚💚

      heheeee guess who got headaches rn… imma go get water. usually i drink way too much, but now im not for some reason. thank u for reminding me <3

      also ye the flow is fun ~ but what kind of a message are u talking about? just the text on the post? orrrr something in the body content?

      also imma prooobably go back to unhealthy energy drinks. if @UnGlazedGarlic@lemmy.blahaj.zone were here, they would say “oh no, what did i do?”, which is fair.

    Really love this one! Doesn’t feel lazy at all for using a gradient.

    I learned about this song on TADC and now I see it everywhere haha

      yeaaaaa thats where heard it first too ~

      it won’t be a stylish marriage.

      yeee… gradients… see, gradients are - so easy. too easy. they are so easy that i usually explicitly don’t use em and instead draw the gradient myself to add a more lively feel… but here i didnt. here I aas lazy slazy- a bit.

      its just - gradients are suuuuuch easy eyecandy to the point that it feels like cheating, but the bad kind of cheating. the kind where i look back and say “grrr… i shouldnt have done this”.

    The text spacing and punctuation (and probably that gradient) creates a really strong visual flow from top to bottom that works really well for this, it’s like a panel-less comic

      i think so too.

      i wanted the hesitation and pondering feels to be visible and i think they made it through. perhaps not as much as i wanted them to, but they are there. when reading it in my head, i read the space with the text, which must be a good sign.

      thank u for enjoying the post <3
