The greatest injustice ever faced is that I almost certainly started the still thriving "clown husbandry" tag on here, but any discussion about it (from a know your meme page to a youtube video with 500k views) says it's a joke of "unknown origin" or credited to this post, likely bouncing off of mine (which was actively circulating at the time with like 30k notes):

This is a tragedy for many reasons, most of all because it wasn't just an offhand joke but actually a direct response to some of the funniest online hate I ever got:

They're erasing the truest history of tumblr: its desperate need to seethe and argue over every obvious joke with more than 10 notes.

anyways here is the canonical pet clown. according to me

What was it about internet basilisks/and or old creepypastas that inspired you to make chainmail chasers?

ChaCha actually started due to a conversation I had with a few friends back in '20 about old Slenderverse webseries. I expressed disappointment that so many just focused on Slendy, and if you were lucky they'd include the Rake as well but not really flesh him out or use him properly. There were exceptions obviously, but you get what I mean.

I've always been fascinated by Smile Dog specifically out of the pastas, and I felt a webseries about it could have a lot of potential. You don't need to do a lot of traveling for filming since it's a mostly digital and mental phenomenon, and the pasta as-is keeps an aura of mystery over just what the image is.

This wasn't enough to pursue a series- it was just a discussion, and at the time I was very very very unconfident in my artistic ability for a whole rabbit hole of reasons. But it got me thinking, and I tend to have a lot of eureka moment with connecting disconnected thematic bits.

There were three things that always fascinated me about the original pasta. One was the idea that it wasn't even a dog- it was said to originally be a photo of the devil, and that over time it changed. If you really dig back into my twitter, around late 2020 (I remember because I reposted it when Heaven Stairway blew up) I posted my own take on Smile Dog. It's the same one that's used in the ParanormalPrickheads page, and there I took the idea of that evolution but extrapolated it, reasoning that after over a decade since the original pasta, the image would've degraded almost to the point of illegibility due to JPEG loss.

That idea basically evolved into the whole "metamorphosis" idea.

The second thing was built up off of that- if the image changed so much, there was no telling if any remakes could be the real deal or not. Or how different they could be from what was described. As a kid I knew the main two images were fake, but I reasoned that they could just be fakes for the sake of safety- the real ones could still be out there. That keeps you on your toes, and definitely leads to a creep factor on finding an "older version" as lost media.

But these were, again, just factors that kept me interested in Smile Dog. Cognitohazards in general interested me, and you had my frequent consumption of YouTube horror analysis content that lead into the setup of ChaCha- a way to initially ground it, develop an audience of people who already like cheesy internet horror, and bait actual Youtubers into covering the channel after they find it during research.

No, none of this is what caused ChaCha directly to happen.

That moment where it all clicked, back in 2020, was an idea for an ending. I have no idea if I can even pull it off. But I need to make it.

But I can't tell you what that is. Not yet.

Spreading the word for a spoiler seems like something only a very pathetic demon would do.

Okay, you know what, sure, continue believing there is a clear good guy and bad guy in this situation, just like how I will continue thinking that, though what Hamas did was terrible, Israel isn't the good guy in this conflict, either.

We're both walls speaking to each other, and at the end of the day, we will not have our minds changed, because both of us believe we're on the right side of history; Oh well, I suppose we'll have to wait until history shows us.

Until we meet again.

Sorry I just saw your second comment.

Dude, I get you, I agree, no one is arguing that children need/deserve/should be killed. But how can you not understand that israel is doing what it can to protect the civilians (evacuation orders), but also needs to secure its own soldiers, who literally 19-23 year olds mostly, and those who aren’t are just civilians, doctors, lawyers, fathers, israel doesn’t want them to die to satisfy hamas, and Israel has a duty to protect them as they risk their lives to go in to kill terrorists who built their bases among civilian population, with people who aren’t specifically hamas also hating them and wanting them dead (again- not in a way of an excuse, but just you know, it’s the truth, their children would shoot a soldier, they have summer camps for it).

So yes, it’s sad, but these are precaution that israel has to take to protect its own children who are sacrificing their lives. And if warning people to evacuate isn’t enough, and saying that it’ll all stop if the hostages are released and hamas surrenders entirely, then how can you blame israel? 1400 people died gruesome, painful, terrifying deaths, they were tortured and beheaded and raped and burned alive. How can this be allowed to pass? How does israel eliminate hamas so that this never happens again?

I don't have anything to say that I have not already said before in the comments under my last response to you, but I do want to ask you two questions.

How do you feel about the historical oppression of Palestinians [1], and the fact that Israel is directly responsible for the things Hamas has done by getting them into power by providing them funding [2] [3], and the fact that were it not for the aforementioned oppression, Hamas would not exist in the form we see today [4]?

The 4th source is locked behind a paywall, but the intro alone illustrates my point well.

Oh, and just one more question, how do you feel about how the current Israeli Government is extremely Far-Right [5}, resembling Nazism more than anything I've seen coming from those who oppose what Israel is doing and has done to Palestine (except my asshole of a Grandpa and Hamas themselves)?
