Monty

2 min read
This feels like a dream. It's all so sudden...

When I discovered Dead Fantasy, I thought it was the most mind-blowingly amazing thing, and it was made by just one person. Monty Oum. I saw an FAQ of his, where he was asked what degrees and training he had. He said he was a high-school drop out and that everything he did was self-taught.

I'm a high-school drop out. I've done a lot of things self-taught, too. He always blew my mind. He was the literal epitome of what I could be if I applied myself and had the courage. I've always dreamed about being like him. So focused and efficient and freaking talented. I've always looked up to him.

Rooster Teeth is an extremely big part of my life. Something I often forget, though, is how I discovered it. Monty. I followed him because of Dead Fantasy, which went into hiatus. After being MIA for ages, Monty posted a journal linking to Red vs Blue Season 8 Episode 10: This One Goes to Eleven along with saying "this is what I've been working on the last six months." I'd never heard of Red vs Blue and I was skeptical, but I knew that if Monty had worked on it, it would be incredible.

I was right. I immediately fell in love and Red vs Blue became my favourite show. I came to learn more about Rooster Teeth and Achievement Hunter. Now here we are, almost five(?) years later and these things are a part of my soul. The majority of my favourite people in the world work at Rooster Teeth. They are largely my reason for living. They are the reason I get out of bed. And I'd never have found them if I never found Monty.

I need to try harder, to push myself, to be like him.

It's hard to form words. I've been crying a lot. It still doesn't feel real.

Thank you, Monty Oum. Thank you for simply existing. You've impacted me and my life far more than I'd ever realized and I will always love you for that.

OHAI DEVIANTART. Long time no deviantART. :D

So my last journal was almost five months ago. Hell if I can remember everything that happened since then, so I won't really say much.

Though I will say that I got Reaper of Souls and I've been playing the dick out of it. <3333333 OH DUDE. I should do Diablo fanart~

So last few days I've been feeling pretty artsy. Like, I haven't been drawing, because I never draw, but I've ALMOST drawn. I've felt like it. I've been watching speedpaintings on YouTube and gettin' all inspired~ So I just might do some stuff and upload it if I finish anything. xD

Have you any idea how much artwork I've started and never finished? Me either, because it's all over the place, but there's a fair amount. Some I'm almost certain I won't ever get back to. So maybe I'll upload some half-baked stuff soonish too. We'll see how we go.

How are you? =)

OH WAIT. I got a PS3 for Christmas~ Got a couple games, then got more games via PSN, like Crash Bandicoot and Worms. AND I GOT THE LAST OF US.

CAN I JUST SAY. THAT THAT GAME. IS THE BEST GAME. IN EVERY CATEGORY. EVER MADE.

Diablo 2 is still my favourite game of all time, and Final Fantasy X and IX are pretty close, but The Last of Us is riiiiight up there~

Y'know, most of the time I function both inwardly and outwardly as a fairly regular human, but every now and then I simply cannot maintain that mask and my true unfiltered self is shown: a hopeless, confused and broken mess, desperately bawling its eyes out and wanting to scream for help, but is too timid, pessimistic and untrustworthy to do so.

Until now, I guess, because I can't live like this.

EDIT:

"We are thankful that the prayers for discovery made by everyone during this time have been answered. It is with deep sadness that we must let you all know that David's body was discovered on June 20 near Ambleside Park. We would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for their prayers, support and compassion. David was an exceptional, bright, caring and loving young man. We consider ourselves blessed to have had him in our lives, and are comforted knowing that he is now embraced in the arms of our Lord.
Love, Daryl, LeeAnn and Danielle."

I never knew him personally, but it's the weirdest, saddest feeling knowing that someone I knew indirectly, or knew of, is now gone.

Rest in peace, Knuckles Dawson.

IN POKEMON SAPPHIRE, I ENCOUNTERED A WILD SHINY TENTACOOL, ALMOST KILLED HER ACCIDENTALLY (SHE HAD LIKE 1 HP, I SWEAR), AND THEN CAUGHT HER WITH AN ULTRA BALL CUZ I DIDN'T WANNA LOOSE HER.

I'ma trade her up to Gen V eventually and use her there, so I can train her properly etc. I AM SO GODDAMN EXCITE. I HAVE A MOTHERFUCKING SHINY.
