Ex. usernames, names for a piece of media, name for a website, name for fictional things in stories?

It is very cute, but doesn't match with my aesthetics yknow? (>﹏<)

I'm not too familiar with much web jargon, and I can't really pay for a different one (is it called a subdomain?), does anyone have any suggestions? Or other nekoweb/neocities type hosts that are just as good (as good as nekoweb)?

Thank you!

I'm really into the analysis of art and media, but I have come to the realization that I don't actually know how to talk about or analyze media critically. I realized that I've never really come to a conclusion on my own or figured out what exactly about a piece of media makes it "good" to me. All I've ever done is read people saying "this is good because of this" and I'm like oh yes totally. If you've ever seen that "Ogre barely even lliterate!" meme, that's exactly how I feel.

I came to this realization when I played this niche game whose ending completely destroyed me like nothing ever had and I didn't know why. It became my favorite piece of media of all time, but it was extremely difficult to communicate or even understand myself what exactly about this game affected me so deeply and why. And since this game is so small and for a very niche audience, I was hesitant to sing any praises about it because I didn't even know if this was even a "good" or "well-written" game; also a big thing is that I know for a fact there were straight up terribly written scenes in this game. It is far from perfect, and yet it has become my favorite piece of media. (Do I just have bad taste or...?)

There are things about this game that I think are really great, but I'm not really smart enough to know why. All I really know how to say is "this thing about it is... something that should be noted probably!! and probably good writing? maybe?"

I wanna be like "Wow this artistic decision is incredible it really adds so much to this piece of media" but I don't even know how to tell what is a great artistic choice and what is not.

How do I actually analyze media critically on my own?

Sorry if the title is kind of vague, what I’m looking for is like a site or something to look up on wikipedia or something to find things that symbolize any given thing. Kind of like flower meanings but for everything, not just flowers.

For an example I’m trying to find “things that symbolize inadequacy“ and I’m not really getting any results at all. Even simpler things like “symbols for envy” I don’t really get much back from (I swore there’s more symbols for envy than just green, snakes and dogs), I also really wish it was easier to figure out why things symbolize what they do, and trying to find symbols that aren’t from the West or from Christianity is also really difficult. I try to look but I don’t really know what to search for.

There’s gotta be some kind of site that has “things that commonly symbolize ___” right? Any search terms I should be using? Or even, does anyone have any tips for coming up with my own symbols? Sorry if this was confusing.

I’m not sure why. I’ll never see that person ever again and it wasn’t really a big deal. But I can’t stop thinking about it and it makes me want to cry and throw up. How do I stop thinking about it?

I have terrible terrible task paralysis around literally everything, including my hobbies. Trying to make music or art feels like trying to bite off my finger. So imagine me trying to do something i don’t like doing. Everything feels impossible, and I don’t know how to get around this.

Does anyone have tips?

I’ve pre registered with two emails now, one being the email my crk ac is linked to, but it still won’t let me claim the reward. atp i don’t care about the rewards i just want the red notif on the store button to go away

I’m a pre T teenager and I’m scared. I’m scared of what people do to us, I’m scared that no one listens to us, I’m scared because a lot of trans spaces online are actively against us, that other trans people also hate us, I’m scared that I only know one adult ftm celebrity, I almost never see adult trans men and it scares me. I’m scared of the way the world is moving. It’s not going to stop me from being a man, but I’m terrified. I’m completely terrified and it keeps me up at night.

Are things really going to be okay for us?
