Your art and site are awesome! I wish mine was as good as yours. I've also struggled with mental health and depression. I was diagnosed as bipolar not so long ago, but I went through a decade of constant depressive cycles. I hope your art helps you heal and move on. I used to thing that creat art suffering was necessary, like the poètes maudits, but it doesn't need to be a self destructive process. Actually living a balanced and healthy life can give you the right mindset and energy to create more, draw more, right more...and I see you are on your way. I don't know why I'm saying all of this but I hope it helps.
I really wanna see how your project turns out, consider me a fan!
Good luck 
Thank you!! Ah, my art's still a work in progress, but thank you again.
I might have bipolar or borderline, I was diagnosed with "psychotic depression," but I'm not sure about the accuracy of the diagnosis, I'm going to a new doctor soon. I also experience some form of depressive mood cycling--it's tough.
My art has been very healing for me since I started this project. I hope it allows me to integrate these parts of myself and move on too--I think it already has and will continue to.
I also used to believe that suffering was necessary in the creation process of art. I know better now. I create so much more when I'm happy and feel good and take care of myself.
Yes I am working my way towards a better life each and everyday. I'm doing my best. It has been allowing me to create more and work harder, I'm happy to say.
I appreciate long and thoughtful comments. Thank you so much once again, and please stay tuned!
RE: What is the purpose of art?:
Very interesting perspective that I respect a lot. My work is certainly designed to do both of those things.
I spent probably two hours on this site and I'm such a fan, I cannot express how excited I am for the pilot comic to come out and I sure will be jumping on it as soon as it does !!
You're such an inspiration !! 
Thank you so much for the wonderful message! This really made me smile. Please stay tuned! The pilot is on the way! I'm so happy to inspire!

Hi 
Be good to yourself. even though when you don't have someone to talk with or to spend some time with just reach out for someone in online. explore the things in here. you will be good eventually
Hello, and thank you for the kind words.
I see you've read my journal, I know it's a lot of heavy things in there. I'm glad you are understanding of it. When I first started writing in it I was in a bad space and didn't feel like I had anyone to talk to, so I shouted into the void instead.
I now have a wonderful and loving boyfriend who I talk to when I'm feeling down. Thank you so much for the kind thoughts. Even though I'm doing better now, hearing things like this is still very uplifting. 
I found your art just a few weeks ago and fell in love it both makes me feel warm and happy but also sad. I instantly latched onto Suzu especially when i found out he has a blankie. i have one also from when i was a kid I don't sleep with it anymore it just hangs in my closet maybe i should sleep with it again Suzu makes it look very tempting
Thank you very much! I'm so happy that my art makes you feel something. I think the warm and happy sit very close to sad in my art. Lots of conflicted feelings.
Yes! SUZU
He loves his starry blanky very much. He's really attached to it. Fuzzy blankies are the best, I have two in my bed. They're not from my childhood (all of mine got well-worn and were thrown away). My favorite from my childhood was pastel blue. My new two are both pink.
So, I encourage getting cozy with blankies and Suzu encourages it too! He loves being snug as a bug in a rug. 
Neat site, I really like it and it gives me a funky feeling in ma bones, idk why. 
Thanks so much!
Funky bones are happy bones.
Re: What is the purpose of art?:
I agree--good take! It's definitely a very individualized experience for each unique person. I certainly use art for all of the purposes you've listed.
I am so very excited to see your finished comic and the new system you've made for their pages on here!!! Everyone's gonna love it and I cant wait to share it and for the world to see 
Thank you so much!!!
I can't wait to share my comic once it's ready! I'm so psyched about sharing it and I really cannot wait to tell the actual story of my characters! I am proud of my pilot episode writing, I think it will quickly get my ideas across and (hopefully) build a bond between my characters and my audience.
RE: What is the purpose of art?:
I actually agree a lot. Creation exists for creation's sake. Our souls are creation, and therefore, to create is inherent to the soul which is pure creation (expansion, love/peace, positive energy). But I also believe there is a uniquely (to our knowledge) human thing in our creations, which is that we bring an element of destruction (shrinking, fear/wrath, negative energy) to each creation we make.
Your website is so cool!!!!!!!!! I'm surprised how underrated your Artfight page is. I bookmarked some ocs so I can actually follow you when it's finally off 'read only' mode 
Oh thank you so much!! I was pretty happy with the ArtFight turn out I got, it was mostly art from friends on Neocities. But I'm always happy to have more people join in on the fun!
I'm excited to see what you and everyone else will create next season! Thanks for stopping by.
Also, I love your answer to my art question. That's a very positive way to look at it. 
Wombo wuz here.
Very cool website! Glad I found it 

Thanks so much! I'm glad you like it! 
I LOVE THE INTERACTIVE STUFF HERE
Thank you so much! It took many hours of trial and error to get all my interactive elements up and running without a hundred bugs. Glad you like em! I did my best. 
How long does it usually take you to do animations like the bug dance one? I know animation is a lot of work! Btw I love how they are both sitting on the couch in the same silly way in the tooth brush question. I still sometimes sit on the couch in odd ways. And the fact that the couch is their setting for answering questions, it feels right. Their personalities come through really well in the Q&As, and I still like how well rounded Jack is as a parent. You can tell that he cares for and loves Suzu, but that he doesn't always treat him right, that Suzu is scared of angering him (That "do you hit your boy" question, oof ouch! Poor Suzu.) Seeing both sides really gets that aching conflicted feeling across.
Short animations like that take about two or three days to complete if I work at them relentlessly (and I often do). Thank you so much!
I'm so happy to know their personalities are shining through and I actually do think the Q&A really brings their characters out even more than the one panels and secret pages. That's why I'm so excited to share my comic episode 1! I really hope that you'll enjoy it. The actual story gets much deeper into the psychology behind all of those conflicted feelings. Please stay tuned, and thank you for the support and thoughtful comments! 
there's a lot to love about this site, I don't know what to say so I'll give you this shitty thumbs up emoticon

Thank you, I accept your emoticon. This one is brushing his teeth 
wow!! your art is amazing and I loved all the attention to detail on your site. your animations remind me of older 2000's weirdo cartoons, specifically invader zim and Lenore. I loved how the highlighting color when your hold your mouse down over words changed depending on which character's page you were on... does that make sense? I sure hope it does! anyways, keep up the good work.
Thanks so much! I definitely get a lot of inspiration from weird 2000's cartoons, comics, and games. Yes, it makes sense! I love customizing the character pages and giving them as much character as possible! I'll be sure to keep creating.
wowza ur site is awsum!!! 
Thanks
@frammyjammy, please, tell us what are the char limits of the Guestbook fields? If this is a corporate secret, I will understand. Love this fff font! I could write a book here!
Please, forgive me, I get too excited around colourful ppl and my sense of humour jumps around. Ok! So, being serious, you have a reply on my Neocities wall. Pick a number! Thanks. Bye!
I think you can make your comment as long as you want. I love typewriter/pixel style fonts.
The number 3 is great--it's my boyfriend's lucky number!
vksdofidzfdbvhdsfjdsodsjvnodsnjez this site is WONDERFUL !!!! i love it, it is really inspiring
Suzu & Jack is my webcomic, feel free to look through it if you're curious. Right now it's just shorts, but I'm working on a full comic episode that will hopefully be done by next year! There's also lots of secrets to discover.
Thank you so much, I'm very happy to inspire!
Extremely good website 
Thank you!✌️
love this website 
Thanks!! 
Okay, I just started exploring this cite and I am already hooked. It is just awesome. I can tell so much effort and passion was put into this project and it is so inspiring. I cannot wait to keep learning and diving in more to the stories. I love the style and diversity of the characters, they are all raw and human which I love. I also am a personal fan of the aesthetics, pink and trippy vibes!. 
Thank you so much! It makes me so happy to hear that my work is inspiring to someone. Such kind words.
Thank you, thank you!
You brightened my day!
wow this is a really cool site
you should be proud 
Thanks so much!
Miore Mindy! I will literally pay you to draw more of her
I do what I want.
Tip my ko-fi for Mindys!
Heya, I love love LOVE your site! It's so well made and organized and you put so much effort into it. I haven't explored everything yet, I mostly looked into the comics. I really thought Invader Zim was a big inspiration before I checked out your Q&A section. But yeah, cool stuff.
Thanks so much!!
I really try my best to keep my site as functional, accessible, and easy-to-navigate as possible. Lots of late nights spent stressing over my code until it's right (never perfect). Invader Zim for sure had a big impact on my style and even my sense of humor. Glad you like what I make! 
walks up to suzu and hands him a little ladybug and then turns to jack and dumps a bucket of sand on him and walks away
❤️
This is literally the kind of website I've been looking for! I would sit down for hours and revisit your website, and I REALLLY LOVEEE your Artwork and the way you make your website into ARG's vibes so much! KEEP UP THE AMAZING WORK!

Thank you! Glad you had fun and like to spend a lot of time on my site! I try to make my site as fun and engaging as possible.
I'll be sure to keep it up!
so colorful i would sit here and calm down for hours
Colors are good for your soul 
Wow! Your website is so colorful and creative! I love it!
Thanks
I love to play around with colors.
Hi I wanted to stop and say this website is so cool and unique. I haven't seen anything like yours frankly it's gorgeous and I love browsing through it! I really like your characters and their pages as well!
Thank you so much! Your site is really pretty. I'm happy you think my site is unique, it's what I tend to go for.
My characters are my world, so thanks!
EEIEKEKEEKEKKKKKKKKK THIS WEBSITE IS SO COOL. I LOVE IT!!!! AND I CANTWAIT TO SEE MORE OF THESE CHARACTERS KEEP UP THE AMAZING WORK AGHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!
THANK YOU!!
I will definitely keep it up! 
Very nice Spongebob reference! Also, I'm happy for you that your chair and desk no longer need to be made from bags and blankets
I'm also happy about that.
hello! i love your site! i just have a question im curious about, you dont have to answer if you dont want to! so youve often referred to suzu as basically you, so why is suzu always referred to as he/him when youre a girl yourself?
Hi there and thanks!
I can answer, I've actually been thinking about writing a blog about this. I do identify, and was raised as a girl, but part of me has always felt like a boy. I don't feel entirely feminine on the inside--I feel masculine inside, but not enough to be dysphoric. I don't mind my body, but I'm not sure it's 100% aligned with my spirit.
I believe in souls, and I think I have a masculine one. Suzu is connected to my soul more than any physical form I happen to have ended up in this time.
Thanks for the interesting question.
I might just have to write that blog post now.
This place is so fricking niche!! Keep up the good work and hope ur going well, man! 🦐✌
Thank you! I am doing very well lately. 
Nori has the best site on neocities! It's so CUTE and creative and wonderful just like she is as a person. She is my favorite person with my favorite site on the internet and guess what?....... There's no bots on here just real ass people and no stupid AI art. I recommend everyone who visits that they look for all the secret pages and art hidden all around. SHE MADE MY WEBSITE TOOOOOO! And I love it and it is one of the best and most thoughtful gifts anyone has ever given me
Please show Nori some love if you enjoy her work, she deserves it!!!!
♡
Just had to stop by and say I thought this website was phenomenal! The vibes are brilliant. Great work.
Thank you!! 
More creampuff content plis 
Just wanted to say- I came to show my gf neocities, and instantly got hooked to your stuff here
I was also one of those appalachian hillbillies so to speak- hearing a shotgun blast just meant there was rodents around lol
Love this, and cant wait to see what else you create<3
Thank you! Appalachia is strange, outdated, and beautiful--especially the nature and cultural heritage. I love Appalachia, even with all of it's well documented and very commentated upon flaws.
bro this is so massively sick you're so cool
Thank you! 
Ayo the lights and colorful vibes are fantastic. Keep up the incredible work as always!
PS: WHERE IS MY SUZU & JACK TV SHOW???
Thanks!
THE TV SHOW IS IN MY HEAD I'M TRYING TO GET IT OUT!!! 
I love that your entire website feels like a complex treasure trove of secrets and reminds me of a well crafted ARG. I feel like I really know Suzu and Jack just from the short stories, rooms, one panel comics and other tidbits despite there being no official linear plot. I check daily for updates and always await more cool things from you!!! Ps. I also LOVE Suzu but there's something about a beyond saving problematic father for me
Thank you. I am very inspired by ARGs and I'm glad it shows! Problematic faves always and forever. 
In the nicest way possible, It's like Nickelodeon on steroids 
I take that as a huge compliment!
Thank you! 
Bugs are cool but how do you feel about reptiles?
I do like all animals really! Reptiles are awesome, but I don't know as much about them.
