Sketchy business...

HAI HAI HAAAAAIIIII !!!
So... hi again :3
The last post was in May 28th, which is exactly 53 days ago at the time of writing this. I don't even really remember what it was about lmao - but quite a few BIG things has happened since then!
Starting with the first... Chronologically speaking...
FIRST : BACKROOMS MOVIE !
I went to go see the Backrooms movie - directed by now 21 year old Kane Personells - in a cinema on June 9th! I NEVER go out to see a movie in theaters... like, to the extent that the last time i went to a cinema was with my mom to watch Indiana Jones Legend of the Circle or whatever it was called, and i think that was 4 years ago or something... actually let me check, when did that relea- June 2023. So, 3 years since i last went to the cinema. What pushed me to go see this particular one?
The DIRECTOR. Kane Parsons. Kane Pixels on YouTube. I really like his Backrooms series on YouTube, so when I saw the news that he would be directing a propah MOVIE to be shown in THEATRES, i just KNEW it would be worth it to go out to see it. Was i right in thinking that?
YES. This movie is now in my top favourite 3 movies. The other two there are the first Matrix film, and... actually i don't know. I don't exactly have favourite films like i do favourite games. Not easy to think of any to place into a list. So. Top *2* favourite films. Backrooms and The Matrix.
I won't spoil a THING. Just, go watch it and tell me what you thought of it. Please. It's so good. It's available digitally!
SECOND : DEL-TA-RUUUUUUUUNE !! (MAJOR Spoilers for Deltarune Chapter 5)
Of course I had to talk about it. Deltarune Chapter 5 released and i played it DAY 1. Absolute perfection of a chapter. Made me like the game even more AGAIN. Made me like Ralsei EVEN MORE, and i already LOVED HIM/THEM!!! Ralsei crashing out was of course a sight to behold and i loved every second of it.
Loved the vibe of the chapter, it was really cozy and thinking about it right now puts me at ease ~w~ * I genuinely got sad once i saw everything it had to offer, i love Delarune so much... thank god there will be more...
...I am really struggling to come up with things to write about this lol, there's just so much to talk about, but i don't want to be here forever... I will just say, Flowery is an amazing character, and is the PERFECT counter to Ralsei. The 6(7) flowers are all amazing and, i swear, Toby Fox's writing was already good, but it got REALLY good here. The lack of FRIEND is... well, it didn't upset me knowing what this chapter was always supposed to be about anyway. But that patched-in Mew Mew shop dialogue is...... Gru Gaster. Gru Gaster. Gru Gaster. FRIEND is Minion. Gru Gaster.
I am glad that they stopped beating around the bush with Susie and Noelle's relationship. Being a FNAF fan (kinda lol) makes me automatically assume things just... won't really be explained or shown... and honestly i thought Toby Fox wouldn't be blunt about it. But i'm GLAD he was. They're very cute together! Kris hates it though, probably!
Asgore is also the vaguest Vaguepost King ever. "Ever since THAT day..." "Oh, Kris, that HORRIBLE NASTY day..." "Ohhhhh Kris... That Day day horrible day That day...day...." WHAT DAY?!! WHAT DAAAYYY??!!!!! Honestly i found it pretty funny how Toby Fox managed to find a way for Asgore to be as vague as he possibly can. I can understand why he did that though, and i think it does work anyway, so...
Send me an email @ zanckedcontact@gmail.com to let me know what YOU thought of the chapter and i will put it in the next post! Like those Q&A shows! I'm curious to see if anyone will actually do that LOL, but i would really appreciate it!!
THIRD : SKETCHY SKETCHY !!!
I GOT A BRAND NEW SKETCHBOOK! - and it's not just any sketchbook... it's my very FIRST sketchbook! Yup, that's right! I have never owned a sketchbook before the date July 15th 2026. With me being an artist and all, that might be a little surprising...
I began wanting to get a sketchbook earlier the same day, but why? What compelled me to the act of drawing on a piece of paper and having my drawings archived in the real world? Well, the answer is kinda dumb.
Earlier that day... I began reading a creepypasta called NES Godzilla Creepypasta. I've been hearing about how it might be the best creepypasta ever, and, well, i like creepypastas! So i finally decided Why The Heck Not. If you don't know what it's about, then... I mean... the name explains everything lol
While i was reading it... in Chapter 3: TRANCE, the author writes how he had a notepad and pen, for note taking. He uses it to remember things, and to sometimes doodle in it. When i read this, i thought: "Notepad and pen... I have never owned a notepad, but having something to jot down thoughts and reminders, and most importantly, a place to sketch away from the PC... that sounds cool, actually. I'll look into this." ... And now here we are. Yeah, i know... It's kinda dumb that THIS, of ALL THINGS, is why i decided to buy a sketchbook. I dunno, i mean i've definitely thought about it before, but i had never seriously considered it before this point. In hindsight, i really wish i had gotten it earlier.
Once i decided i wanted to get a sketchbook, i also began looking into pens for drawing with, and i stumbled upon a Reddit comment that said Fountain Pens are pretty nice for drawing. I watched a bunch of videos about them, read an article or two, and browsed a few popular fountain pens before i found the one i ended up getting!
Here's a pic! LOOK AT IT!!! LOOK AT THEM BOTH !!! RAAAGHHHHHHH
The Sketchbook i got is the Talens Art Creation A6 9x14 SKETCH BOOK
The Fountain Pen i got is the Lamy Safari Vista Fountain Pen
I've been using these together every single day, for 3 days (i don't count the 19th because it is 1 AM the 19th as i type this LOL) - and i REALLY REALLY like both of them. The sketchbook has some really nice solid build quality, it has 80 pages and they're nice to draw on, it has a cute little elastic band to keep the book closed and i really really like it! It also has a little bookmark string thing which is nice to have. However, the main reason i got THIS specific sketchbook is because 1. It's SMOL! A6 size, and fits in my pocket! It's roughly the size of a smartphone, so it IS small. But perfect for me! Bigger sketchbooks just seem... i don't know? The portability is just REALLY attractive to me. Easier to hide. More compact and neat. Can use it as a smartphone replacement. It's cool!!
The fountain pen is also really really nice, i like it! It's my first time ever using a Fountain Pen, much less owning one, but turns out i like it! It functions pretty much exactly as i hoped it would. And the build quality is really solid, too, i LOVE the Vista model where you can see through the pen and see its INSIDES... s'just cool to look at... Feels good, too. I got this specific pen for two main reasons: 1. it looked cool, and 2. enough people called it the best Beginner fountain pen, like, i looked at so many videos about this thing and other pens and how they compaaare... and i didn't see a single one disliking this pen! Which was enough to convince me to get it.
Oh, and i also got some Lamy Pen Converters, and the Quink Ink Bottle by Parker. Cus the aspect of being able to refill these pens just by sucking the ink out into the pen like a syringe is pretty cool to me.
FOURTH : ART FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT !!!!
Art Fight 2026 started, and i joined! It's my first time participating in this event, and so far i have already drawn plenty of attacks and revenges! It's been really fun drawing other's OC's for once. I should do it more often...! Maybe with commissions...
BTW YOU SHOULD FIGHT ME ON ART FIGHT, I REVENGE EVERYONE!!! EVENTUALLY!!! GUARANTEED!!!
... ANYTHING ELSE ?
Nah, i think i've said all i wanted to say. WOOF! I wrote a lot! Thank you so much for reading!!! I really appreciate it. Don't forget, you can subscribe to these posts through RSS. It's really handy for keeping up with blogs and stuff.
Have a great rest of your day and night!
