2023 goals ✰ art, animation, & vlogs ☻

mothcub 2023-01-01 | ♡ヽ(｡• ε •｡)

Happy New Year nerds! One of my (powerful) New Years resolutions is to make more videos, so here's my first disjointed vlog of 2023. I miss when I used to treat YouTube as a sort of diary so I really wanna try and bring some of that energy back and enjoy vlogging again and also kinda making videos to show my artmaking process and art projects and stuff. I will make 1000 paintings of Super Mario (maybe).

Feels very weird and unnatural to be talking to a camera tbh, idk how all you freaks do it. But I will do my best :-) & I'm really excited to really try and focus on improving as an artist in 2023. I wish to be better and stronger. Look forward to new and tasty animations coming soon!!

Hocus Pocus 2 is driving me insane

mothcub 2022-10-31 | Witch stuff.

Putting this pinned comment in the description because the comments keep being auto turned off no matter how many times I turn them back on:
"Note: I only realised on like third watch of the upload that I lost the Thackary Binx thread lmao but basically I'm just trying to say Hocus Pocus shows us two brother and sister sets who care about each other to solidify a pretty understated "family good" "siblings good" theme that runs through the movie, which contrasts nicely with the poorly written "three friends reuniting"/"three sisters love each other so much mwah" connection of the second movie. Thank you so much I'll try to actually put the thoughts I'm trying to express in the video next time xoxo"

New York is Real (and I made it)

mothcub 2021-05-11 | So I got super into puzzles and I made this 3D puzzle of New York, and tragically I had to dismantle it to make way for a new puzzle, so here's a poem with some reversed footage of me destroying the city. Enjoy my poem please :-)

New York is Real (and I made it):

New York is real and I made it
Out of barrels of nicotine jam
I drew a plan in concrete
On the back of my silver hand

I poured out several pieces
From the disgusting substance I’d made
And I knew I would make something special
That would last as the memories fade

“New York, what a city!” you cry
“All my best favourite rats are inside”
And now that you know that I made it
I can see you are swelling with pride

But this feat was a difficult task
One that cost me my blood and my eye
So I ask you to please speak softly
And listen to my tragic cry

The city I built from my bones
From a love splintered neatly in two
From the dust of my own crumbling
I built a New York just for you

And I hope it can symbolise something
A history falling apart
At the same time coming together
The great contradiction of art

Two opposites happen at once
The dust settles and grows
New York and my body together
Best friends, lovers and foes

I’ll crunch it all up in my fingers
I’ll put it all back in its box
But sooner or later it’s back
And I’d like a bagel with lox

New York is real and I made it
I made all the parks and small birds
I can take it away when I want to
In fifths, sixths, sevenths, or thirds

The power is mine - believe me
I won’t hesitate to destroy
But I’m happy I built New York City
Just for me as a nice special toy

Its Done

mothcub 2019-09-22 | A small poem from a scanner. I live inside a scanner and I shan't come out. Good day.

///

The waters never pale
In this place that I have ended
They say it’s bright, white
But it must have been pretended

It doesn’t take the shape
Quite the way that it was spoken
The burning empty mystery
So cleanly, quickly broken

The men and the voices
They love a clear idea
A soothing shroud of light
To cast open any fear

But now I’m here I know
What’s really real and true
Is only crumbled rock
A cavern made in gentle blue

It’s true I’ve long pulled out
A single splinter from my sole
The same one I always stepped on
Making again the same old hole

But the crumbling of this place
Where all thought says is none
Taps gently on my memory
And says only, “it’s done”.

Transcript:

There has long been a secret in the dark, almost burning. Perhaps you don't believe in ghosts, but there is a type of spirit sunk into the walls. The wind and rain and cold, they make a clatter on the doors and windows, a distant sound as furious as night time thoughts. The vents bring in echoes of crow's calls and time stops for the beat of a body full of hot blood and an intake of breath loud in a tiled bathroom. Porcelain cracking like a sense of self left out in the rain, drying crooked. Developing that musty smell. Death or a wrinkled fabric. It's always one or the other. And the secret, it lies in every crease, in every lingering damp spot, in every crack in the wall, and in every nervous dream. And sometimes you're a doll wrapped in the string of it, in that midnight darkness when the moon shuts its curtains and the liquids inside you rush forwards. And the truth is known by all those dark corners.

She said something, a whisper through the ether underneath everything, because somewhere under there she knows. She and the crows and the spindly tree branches shifting quick and slow and cold in the breeze. They all know. They move just like you, stuttered and then in a flood, like a stop motion pouring of a kettle, maybe a water jug. The stars, all sitting in the corners in the dark, like your organs and your feverish questions, your wild little worries curling and gliding around you like tadpoles. They see that spark. the telltale sign of a lighter out of fluid. Small scraping, ticking sounds and baby sparks of flame tickling the air before disappearing.

It's hiding in embers, almost gone, but this dark - it isn't an absence. It's thick with all these crumpled memories, half forgotten touches of warmth nestled in rain and daylight. Long gone but held onto by a thread. By a corner. A secret, one bright heart hidden in the milky way. One searing, fizzing star. One small hand. One cup of night time tea.

The crow's call and the cracks and the creases, they keep that yearning in them, nestled, warm, yowling. What's hidden kept in furrows in the darkness, but it's still warm. It's alive. It's waiting. Buried deep like a gem, a precious jewel forbidden from making patterns. Don't touch the light, you keep saying. Don't touch.

But they'll never relinquish until it burns. The crows call, and the ripples are everywhere, pulsing through that dark. So light it. Drink the crackle of the bonfire. Touch your tongue to the flames. Be free.

I Will Never Die

mothcub 2018-09-27 | A poem about water, and a water about poem. hmm hmm hm...

'I Will Never Die':

I dream about jumping into the harbour
and the look in your eyes
like a meteor crash
ripping into waves

I dream about the water
rising all around me
a fizzing bubble
and that moment of silence
when everything happens and nothing can be done

I dream about you standing misty eyed and frozen on the bridge
my bag strap limp in your hands
your blood unmoving
your breath still

it's half past seven
there's pink in the sky
I dream about the cold hard rush of the river
and I will never die

le papillon de nuit • 🦋🌙

mothcub 2018-09-13 | Here's a poem about a bus stop (and a French moth). Hopefully The Hollies will let me join them now. ┌∪•ᴥ•∪┘♡

~here's the full poem:

le papillon de nuit
was waiting just for me
at the side of the bus stop
where I stood at half past 3

the silence became strange
as we stood there in the glow
what odd magic luck had come
'til then I could not know

le papillon de nuit
spoke one word into the dark
and I thought for just a moment
that I'd had my life's last spark

I looked over, a little shyly
and I also said "hello"
how this creature did beguile me
I did not let him know

like a newborn mouse I whispered
a squeaky sort of greeting
I was not afraid but simply lost
in the manner of our meeting

"I'm le papillon de nuit" he said
"I'm travelling from France"
I replied "oh, mmm-hmm, I see"
already almost in a trance

"I'm not sure" he continued,
"why other papillons de nuit...
do not say a word at all
not a single thing to me

silence seems the trendy thing
on this side of the sea
how odd it seems over here
the way they'd rather be"

he muttered as he spoke
his voice was a delight
"how curious," I cried
out into the night

in some time, the bus itself came trundling along
"at last!" I exclaimed, and hurried to get on
but then came one last wonderful surprise
for little did that strange moth and I realise
for it turned out in fact that le papillon de nuit
was getting on the very same night bus as me!

I Dont Like Having Feelings (Original Song)

mothcub 2018-08-26 | Here's a small song about feelings, set to some beautiful and normal footage of clouds.

Lyrics:

I don't like having feelings
I don't like it all

they fall like dominoes
burn like sparklers at night
is there any way to make it morally right?
I guess I'll never know
