Corner of cool stuff. I have a sci-fi fantasy world in the works, check it out on Neocities at exameter.neocities.org. (An exameter is 105.7 light years also I love you all)

You can call me Evan or Loom, I’m he/him and a MINOR. Please no slurs or nsfw stuff, cussing is fine.

fandoms: Steven Universe, Gravity Falls, Amphibia, TADC I am kind of part of: Lego Monkie kid, kotlc, Stranger Things (need to watch past the first season :p), probably more

Respectfully, (and as a rule of thumb-if you’re chill i’ll tolerate it) DNI if you are MAGA, have porn or anything like that on your blog and as a rule of thumb DNI if you are an adult (21+)(suggestive content or if every once in a while your art errs on that side are both okay) or if you’re just generally a creep or a hater.

My hobbies consist of: music (garageband, cello and kinda sort guitar, and listening to lots of it), BeamNG drive, running Cross Country (veeery slowly), fantasy worldbuilding (check out my Neocities: exameter.neocities.org) and writing systems and more (i can never remember what i do when i need to remember)

I will (as of 10/5/25) be taking requests for fantasy writing systems. If you’re curious what that means exactly, search up Neography on google or neography.info Here’s a link to a page with some writing systems I’ve made. Not all of them are mine, but I denoted which ones aren’t:

My ask box and dms are always open if you need anything else (except money. sorry) or want to chat! I practically have nothing to do elsetime so I’ll probably respond within like a day

Meet the moots!!!

@alienpepper has great artwork among other things

@quoththewarlock uhh he’s cool

@sea-jellie-thoguhts minecraft obsessed nerd (IN A GOOD WAY)

I’m not very good at describing people… but i hope i did it well enough

My other blogs:

@exameterrs-reblogs-yo <- reblog blog

@exameterr-redux <- for if i get hacked or something

@olvonict <- for my fictional world

My (simple) tag system (to be updated):

#Candela - for my crush

#Olvonict - for my fictional world I’m (slowly) making (and here's my Neocities again: exameter.neocities.org)

Cheers! (and no I’m not british)

At the dinner table:

>Twisty noodle smushed and squished apart underneath a pot

>Brother points it out

>I say, "that poor noodle has been mutilated and yanked apart"

>Fam chuckles

>Twin says to another twisty noodle on the table near it, "look away"

>Laughing and some food flies across the table ensue

>Dad covers up the mutilated noodle

this actually made me cry with joy also one of them is eating noodles

It just keeps going and getting better. *^^*

Me two minutes ago: “cry with joy? an animation of cats playing instruments made someone cry with joy?”

Me now: (sobs into a tissue) “OH MY GOD THAT ONE IS PLAYING TWO RECORDERS AT THE SAME TIME” (blows nose)

If you haven't heard about the YouTube Boycott starting Jan 1st yet, here's your notice- It's time to lock in! It's never too late to practice selective consumerism!

Here's what you need to know:

No deadline. We’re going to keep going until they roll the ID Age Verification policy back, checking in at each financial quarter (every 3 months) to see how well they’re listening.

This policy is just a bid for mass surveillance poorly wrapped in “we need to protect the kids!” and it poses way too many internet and data privacy concerns. If we don't push back that's seen as consent, and more sites will follow in YouTube's (and Spotify's) footsteps.

How to boycott:

First step, obviously, is to stop using YouTube. Now, if you're required to use it for work/school don't fret! You can still join the boycott- just be sure to use an ad-blocker so they don't make any money from your visit. uBlock Origin works great, and there are many others! Other than that it's important to stay away from YouTube as much as possible. Adblockers are great- but it's important to remember that even watching with an adblocker still gives YouTube traffic.

Here's a short list of some other steps you can (and should) take:

  1. If you have it, cancel YouTube Premium.
  2. Leave 1 star reviews in the app store and on google.
  3. Comment on YouTube's socials letting them know this policy isn't cool. If you can, try to get in contact with YouTube/Google directly to complain. (Send a letter if you can- those are always fun, AND harder to ignore than an email.)
  4. Spread the word! Make your own posts. Make memes. Yes, really. The best way to help something get traction is to make it fun- so have fun with it! Just be sure to let people know the boycott is ongoing and that we won't be returning until we are heard. Again, we need to make noise about this.

Also, Remember that we're boycotting YouTube/Spotify- NOT the creators on those platforms.

Your favorite creator is bound to have another way to support them, and I suggest you find out what that is. (i.e: do they have Patreon/Kofi? Something else? A different platform perhaps?) This way they're not caught in the crossfire and can't be used as leverage to guilt you into abandoning the boycott. ("Oh a company wouldn't do that-" YES they would!)

If anyone has anything to add (Including YT alternatives for those needing to fill the void) please feel free to add onto this post. Personally, I've switched to podcasts and Internet Archive for the time being.

Just remember the important thing is that we don't stay silent and we fight back.

Oh- and it's also important (especially for those of us who have been boycotting already) to NOT shame those who started boycotting later than you. Encourage and help them find alternatives- some people are going to find it more difficult to drop YouTube than others and smugness/shaming will only result in alienating those who would be allies.
