It's so lovely to hear someone is somewhat fascinated. I will try, but all of my juicy brain things have been festering within for months and months, and I haven't been able to find a window to release them out of 

Thank You

I'm here! Honestly this is my first time checking in about two or three months, I've been at school and job quite a bit. Maybe we should still do the animation over Thanksgiving break if you want or think that's possible. It'd be great to make a claymation/stopmotion, but don't know how the heck that would work

i am still doing ok! i'm in college now actually, somehow. no job at the moment though.

stop motion is my shit, i'd be into that but like you said it would be really hard to collaborate on it. and we'd have to either come up with completely new concepts, or somehow assemble models of our characters and places - granted, that would be dope as fuck but it sounds impossible. i have 5 days off for thanksgiving (including saturday and sunday,) which isn't a lot for an animation project but i'd still be down to get some work done on it during that time. personally, though, i'm in the midst of a bitch of an art block. so no new ideas are scheduled to arrive from krikonn street, in other words.

You know I always kind of inwardly assumed you were about a year older than I, though I'm not sure why. Thanksgiving vicinity is actually a great time to get to work for me as well. I do have a break, but i also have a strange sensation that period of time will be a great turning point in my life. Currently I'm also experiencing quite a few creative road blocks due to some relatively new mental phenomena (new for me that is). Not quite depression; more dustbowl: I had many good things in my mind and something seems to have gone terribly wrong and that thing has gone and scared them off. In any event, that's another story to be told another time. I certainly hope the Krikkon streetlights re illuminate themselves in due time.

yeah shit's just weird for me at the mo. not sure if anything went terribly wrong, but my life is so much different than it used to be that i got caught in between identities. doesn't help that people around me are having social drama. hoping to get some shrooms this season though, i need to reset my perspective a bit! luckily they literally grow at your feet over in my area, although i still haven't met anyone who knows enough of their shit to go hunting.

Cut out the middle man: do your own research! They're easier to identify than you'd think, though where I am I could only find a couple "banded mottlegills" which don't have much psilobin content. Mushroom hunting is fun as hell though   ---I can imagine shit would be weird if you're starting college, that feeling of "I knew highschool would end eventually but I didn't really know." Personally, i've found that dextromethorphan, the cough suppressant (somewhat embarrassingly), has been very therapeutic in making me a lot more honest and open as well as keeping a stable attitude (that is not getting unnecessarily angry or anxious). You kinda gotta be comfortable downing an entire bottle of otc gel caps though... aside from that the whole area is dry as shit because nearly every single source got busted in the last couple weeks that's irrelevant though

whatever works for you man, it's nothing to be embarrassed about. weird coincidence though, i took some DXM for its 'official' purpose the same night you wrote that. and usually i never use meds when i'm sick. incidentally, i felt like it put me in a better mood for that night but it was still just the recommended dose.

folks are pretty dry over here too. and i know silk road got shut down earlier this month, which affects some people's supply. i might look into hunting later on if i still can't find a seller, it sounds like such a commitment though. in my circles it's mostly been a widespread mad scramble for adderall and vyvanse, but kids are starting to get prescriptions left and right because apparently it's really easy. i feel like i could buy any of these drugs with enough cigarettes though, they're basically their own currency where i live.

Ninjon In reply to Krikonn [2013-10-31 20:35:04 +0000 UTC]

I did not know that Silk Road got shut down. That's quite a disappointment, though I'm sure resolute drug users won't be deterred long. I guess I was just mentioning DXM as an option if no others are available, though for me it's something I prefer to others. I simply love the dissociative experience; if I were able to get ketamine or mxe I'd choose those instead but I guarantee that no matter how many drugs are flowing through my area those two will not be among them. Dissociatives and psychedelics seem to be more helpful in the long run (you sort of lend yourself to them for a chunk of time, and always seem to learn a thing or two) whereas performance enhancers like vyvanse and adderall seem to only benefit in the short term and possibly do harm in the long run. For example, last year there was a period in which I had several good sources for vyvanse and would take it daily to help with school but once I ran out I slacked like a motherfucker. It just seems to negate any reason not to be lazy if you can ingest all that ambition and mental clarity in a tiny capsule. But that's my opinion and I might just be weak willed lol. That's interesting about the cigarette currency. Everyone smokes here too so in theory that would make sense round these parts, but folks are always so generous with them that it's more like charity. In fact I've only had a pack of my own once yet I'm able to smoke almost daily

you're probably right about dissociatives, psychedelics, and performance enhancers, in fact you're preaching to the choir. i miss tripping, but it's not something a body needs ya know? it's one of my favorite things and yet i don't really crave it. i guess i'm just trying to have a trippy lifestyle in the meantime. vyvanse, adderall, and the rest of the crew, on the other hand...that's bad shit but it's just so easy to take them. i don't usually have any but when i do i'll wolf it down no matter what time it is. it's like cake in that way. i don't take it for responsible purposes though, nothing school-related...just to make it easier to talk to this girl i'm crushing on and to make myself seem funnier around other groups of people but mainly because i like being high and i feel like i have no problems when i'm on that kind of stuff. i know the routine by now though, pretty soon i'm gonna be used to the effects and i'll be pissed off when it doesn't erase everything i don't want to deal with. then i'll realize how weak willed i am, and i won't want to do anything but shower and sleep! actually i'm sorta detoxing this weekend tbh, so that's a pretty accurate depiction of my life for the past couple days.

as for cigarettes, i guess it really depends on the person. some people like to give out cigarettes as needed, some people are just sheisty as hell because they're poor (or they act like they're poor), some people just distribute all their tobacco freely within a small group, and some people always try to pay for them because they feel guilty on the inside or some shit. i have seen them traded for services or provisions before, though, it's some fascinating behavior. they tend to be worth 50 cents each. and of course, countless friendships have been formed over extended smoking breaks or quests to buy cigarettes from town. cigs are good for society, it outweighs the horrible things they do to your body. such a good social tool as well; smoking breaks can be used as an excuse for so many things. you must live around lots of decent people if you can mooch that much, i remember when i wasn't old enough to buy cigarettes yet and i had no one to buy them for me, it was so hard to smoke because every human being was on their "last one." but it's what evs. it was a small town, but not really small enough, financially equal enough, or racially open enough to be communal. that's my theory.

I totally feel you on taking drugs for social interactions, though often they make me doubly or triply as anxious as I would have been normally. Lisdex/dextroamphetamine, all opiates, and xanax work every time, though, except after repeated use where, as you said, they no longer make everything bad magically go away. I do just want to be high, though, when it comes down to it, yes I suppose. Cigarettes are really a happy medium between just hanging out with friends sober (not an experience I've had in quite a while), and getting completely blitzed with pals and possibly compromising your ability to communicate clearly. I think even if you're remarkably good at holding your own under the influence of a powerful substance, your mind is altered one way or the other, and misunderstandings are sure to occur between friends sooner or later. Cigarettes lighten the mood and provide a gratifying activity without distorting reality too much. They help provide the kind of environment in which a person can comfortably be as trippy as they'd like  Oh and also 80% of my tobacco comes from the same guy, we tend to treat it like an activity more than a gift ("wanna go smoke?" moreso than "would you like a cigarette?"), so though I am mooching constantly it's mostly because they're being offered constantly. I guess I'm a lucky man!

cigarettes are just so reliable to me because i'm a bit of a nicotine fiend nowadays. but many interactions due to cigarettes have changed my life, i will say that.

i've had a couple nights lately of being fucked in the head after stimulants, but tweaking is just such a productive activity for me, it's sort of an extreme good and extreme bad.

that guy sounds like a fine fellow. i am also offered many cigarettes, day to day, which makes me also a lucky man. people start to care about you if you pay attention to them i guess.

i do not remember exactly which events happened on the weekend you're referring to, but i'm pretty sure it was sortuva downer. i'm doing well now though, picked up on art a little bit and i'm in the gutter but i'm clawing my way to the stars. i feel like i have many stories about people now that i have to save for a few years until they don't have to be secrets anymore. fillin the head with usable data. image recorded. whirrrr. written to archival memory banks. whirrrrrrrrr. if that makes any sense.

i also have drug stories that i have to think about on a more sober level before i decide if i'm comfortable releasing them to the vacuum of cyberspace! you may dig em though. this is all about SWIM by the way, of course.

i heard you were caught in a dustbowl. i hope you've been able to reconstruct things n shit in your mind. as for me, my mind is a forest full of bandits and hyenas. it's always night in here!

Yes, that makes sense, like there's many very dusty floppy discs of the mind, and some of them even sink into this mucky rubber cement stuff in the back of the brain, but they can be cleaned off with the right methods. I apologize for the lateness of this reply, as it is QUITE late, several months I think. I am still doing creative things, but they are very fleeting things which can't be scanned and put online, very intricate and subtle things which radiate in ripples and worm in and out of peoples' souls and all the tiny quantum worm holes, and sometimes even tesser across time and space, yess, but very difficult to maintain a web presence with. I'm pretty sure most of my amphetamine related drug stories are kept secret just due to their immensely psychotic and often horrifically perverse nature. I am considering going partway with a friend to purchase some mxe (look it up, you won't regret it) and perhaps I'll tell you about that, but for the most part, I've almost been a regular responsible young adult except for the occasional cannabis use and research psychedelics and abuse of antihistamines/cough suppressants for their deleriant/dissociative effects (and the fact that I don't really count these things says something in itself). I'd love to hear your experiences, but perhaps it would be better to send them via message; it's my understanding that anyone who wants can read just about every conversation you and I have had so far, if they only know where to look, so on one hand that's fine, I'm sure they're entertaining, but if you feel the necessity for a private, warm, clean, well-lighted place (ernest hemingway and nine inch nails references all rolled up into one!) you get the picture

late replies are welcome, keep worming through time and space and souls bro.
not especially looking to share tweaker stories with anyone, that shit can get embarrassing. i was thinking more along the lines of psychedelic type drug stories. but it wasn't anything special, at least not anything worth reporting. i haven't spent as much attention on the actual trips themselves lately as i would like, lots of life noise going on which is a trip in itself. that being said, cyanescens>cubensis as far as i can tell, in terms of bang for your buckage.
if you do get into mxe, you should give me the deets in one way or another. i've never done ketamine myself, nor have i had much exposure to it, but legal alternatives and whatnot are always intriguing and i know you've got the skinny on all that if anyone does! (lifted from erowid: "vivid recall of past memories and dreams," i'd say that on its own makes it at least worth checking out. cleanse those floppy disks yo!)
my drug use has been slim pickins for a couple weeks, but i'm ready to get myself surrounded by sources again. incidentally, i have been suppressing some coughs as well lately, which is proving to be a rigorous adventure on the mind and the digestive system. i like a bit of antihistamines from time to time but for the most part they just cause me instant depression and a body high from hell, just can't stand the little pink bastards but i miss the hallucinations and benathoughts.

Ninjon In reply to Krikonn [2014-01-03 17:40:54 +0000 UTC]

I would highly recommend combining the antihistamines and the cough suppressants. Essentially, the mind fuck of the dph outweighs the dissociation of the dxm, but the euphoria from the dxm outweighs the dysphoria from the dph, so you're left with a very pleasurable acidlike body rush, yellowish hue to everything, no more fear but voices and creaky wood noises everywhere, plus very curiously psychedelic tracers for soooome reason. Not to mention the afterglow cancels out the hangover so the next day you're just about neutral by way of mood. I actually played minecraft for a half hour the other night on that combo, and discovered I had never left my room to go turn on the ps3, it was all in my head. There were others in the room with me, and I kept thinking my portable cd player was a clay bowl of rice. I'm rambling haha. 

I've been wondering, monsieur krikonn, what is your stance on all things romantic? I only ask because several messages back you mentioned using adderall to talk to girls, and at the time I was experiencing some long term complete disinterest in sex/romance, but since then have become intertwined with someone who has changed my mind somewhat. Basically the idea was that I have little interest in fucking because that's how more people are made, and the world doesn't need more people right now, and as for affectionate/romantic involvement with another person, I just did not personally know of any females whom I could respect enough to not want to vomit if I were to have to put up with them in that way (I realize how disgustingly rude that sounds, hopefully you get the idea). So I was only a bit curious about that 

Also, you're right, psychedelic stories can be a bit boring except to the person directly experiencing them. A lot of people associate psychedelics with imagination, but for me it seems like the opposite: you're reverting to what feels like raw consciousness, an animal/plant/fungus/gaian state of mind, and imagination seems so distinctly human that it dissipates during a psy trip

crazy story, i will definitely have to try that sometime. i've thought about combining dph with other things before, just haven't done it in awhile.

i'm a bit romance-obsessed and sex-obsessed to be honest. i get the feeling of being surrounded by girls who make you want to puke, but it's nice because people come and go, and some of the new ones can offer surprises. besides, there's nothing like good sex with someone you care about and respect when it comes to making life enjoyable! i've had periods of huge disinterest in sex when it feels like i don't really have any chances or interests anywhere, though.

you could be right about tripping, i mean there's a reason mushrooms make one giggle like a motherfucker right? i guess my version is i kinda feel like the room in my head for making things up is overtaken by memories and observations and whatnot, almost like life is more "real" because i can actually hear it through the noise in my head. it's good to experience but every time i trip i just feel like i'm fine not doing anything or trying to figure anything out if it doesn't come to me on its own.

The tube room is brilliant and definitely sounds like your style. I like it a lot. The washing machines, I like, because I picture the fly twitching in the center of the room, unable to look away with it's bulging washing-machine-multiplying eyes. With the risk of sounding like a Krikonn cheerleader, the beings were all genius, especially the circus-drum-screecher and the dialogue surrounding them

enclosed are two rough drawings of characters (I'm a bit embarrassed) here ninjon.deviantart.com/art/Dark… and here ninjon.deviantart.com/art/Alto…

The queen I imagine descending on her prey with a terrible hissing and shrieking, though the prey (perhaps a young boy or something of that sort) gasps in ecstatic pleasure rather than the expected pain/fear. 

The altocentuar engages in a shootout with a private eye who has a ducklike face (haven't drawn him yet, but you could say he resembles one of Zappa's mammy nuns)

Thirdly, which I was unable to draw, a surgery that takes place within some golden tunnel, collapsible-looking like the tube of a vacuum cleaner; you can see inside through an oval opening: there is an operating table upon which a teddybear/gingerbreadman/robot lies and long thin pincers, scalpels and the like descend on spidery arms from the tunnel ceiling. Everything seems to be in a sort of golden/sepia tone and frenzied alto sax plays in the background

hey, that's some pretty neat stuff! the elf queen image is very vivid, i can picture her closing in and gnashing and morphing, almost like the various faces are fighting to be in front of one another. the sound effects for that particular creature have a lot of potential, too. i noticed you drew her in "attack mode" - i'm curious to know what other mode(s) she has. i also especially like the swirly things coming off of the altocentaur. i think the private eye could maybe be the one who goes through all of this stuff, kind of like a main character, but more like he's just the guy we follow through the action. unless you've got some wacky backstory for him.

at some point we've got to consider the ways of stitching these ideas together. we could have them morph from one another seamlessly, sort of like a dream. for example, we could zoom into one of the deserts in the speech bubbles, and in the desert would be a concrete block that turns out to be a room, and inside the room there could be the fly and its washing machines, and we could go into one of the washing machines to see the surgery scene, and the tools could open up the teddybeargingerbreadrobot's belly and we could zoom into the belly and end up in a different place where the altocentaur is chasing the private eye. if we did it like that, we could make the whole thing loop as well, which would be pretty neat. (kind of like this one thing i found called "zoomquilt." you could search it up if you haven't seen it before.)

or, we could make it a lot more disconnected than that. there's a french movie i discovered a few years back, put together by many different artists, that i've been thinking of as we've been talking about this project - it's got the sort of mood of frightening, uncensored weirdness that i've been wanting to go for. here's a link to a clip: www.youtube.com/watch?v=KzVDDc…
in this case, various scenes just sort of flash by without a whole lot of relation to each other, although they're all based on the theme of being in a hospital. having things change so rapidly is a lot more jarring than the method i previously described.

or there could be other ways of doing it. let me know what you think.

and i gotta say, everything about that golden tunnel surgery scene sounds _awesome_. i think that we should include all of the bits from that idea. it sounds like the kind of half-dream i might have right before i fall asleep. were there drugs involved with these ideas? it all seems like some pretty crazy shit.

Ninjon In reply to Krikonn [2013-08-15 15:42:41 +0000 UTC]

I'm suspicious you're reading my mind since I actually had a notion that the duck private eye would be a main character sort of event (if only as a main character in the beginning that then transitioned into some hallucinatory dungeon odyssey) and the tunnel scene DID appear to me in pre-dream time while I was falling asleep. I'll ask in the future that you please only use telepathy with my permission  

I love love love near the end of Hopital Brut when the older man is worshiping the shrines and becomes one. 

So it seems the question is, would you prefer to have a storyline (of sorts), a transitional movement or just pure chaos? I like the idea of the zooming however it's already been done in zoomquilt though that's not really a good reason not to do it.  I personally vouch for something rather disconnected, but maybe with a false semblance of plot. I'm not sure if you've heard of the book Naked Lunch. Here is its Wikipedia article that may somewhat do it justice since I obviously can't link an entire novel: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naked_Lu… . Basically, I'm imagining a character having short adventures in different settings, though no adventure has any relevance to any other, and some adventures don't even include the aforementioned character in the first place. The problem is, this could lead to too lengthy an animation to animate. 

What do you think of music? In your video "isol depths," I remember being impressed by the dialogue. As for me, dialogue isn't my strong suit, though I'm apt to do a bit of narration. Maybe the disconnected plan is the best. What do you think of either free jazz, glitchy drum'n'bass, something jungle-ish or african drum sounding, or maybe just spooky guitar or trip hop? Here is a good example of just music accompanied by wacky beings: www.youtube.com/watch?v=XJA_N0…

Krikonn In reply to Ninjon [2013-08-15 20:12:06 +0000 UTC]

ohhohohoho, so i've been found out. i'll try not to snoop through your thoughts too much.

i did read naked lunch once, but unfortunately i didn't pay as much attention to it as i could have. although i remember liking the way the narration switched around between different styles, (i think?) and sort of rejected the idea of a smooth clean plot in favor of playing around with different ways of presenting information. it's been a few years, so i may be making some of this up, but i could say i'm familiar with the style.

anyway, i like the idea of having a recurring character, someone who shows up now and then, but changes into other things at times and isn't always there. maybe it could look a bit like he's trying really hard to keep coming into existence but the rest of the movie doesn't care about him. having the scenes change abruptly would cut out a lot of work, as opposed to making them meld together, so if we can make it disjointed with style, we should. whatever meager storyline it has could be held together by the duck private eye or another recurring character. like you said, it could get lengthy, so the best we could do without the amount of work getting ridiculous is to have short unrelated adventures with maybe one or two things in common from one to another.

dialogue probably isn't necessary for the style we're talking about. maybe a word here or there if the occasion calls for it. sound effects, though, would be a pretty cool addition. i'm a big fan of trip hop, as well as the glitchier side of DnB, so those types of music would work out well with our stuff. some tribal beats might be good for certain intense sections, though, and of course we need frenzied alto sax for that one part. so i would say we should select a few different songs or bits of songs and string them together. that part, though, i think we could do last, by watching what we've got and looking for sounds that fit the imagery. that way it'd leave a lot more possibilities open. it's easy to get software that lets you paste sounds together and edit them and crossfade and all that good stuff, so that part should be a no-brainer.

i'm gonna try to sribble out a comic strip or storyboard or something to elaborate on some of the ideas i have, that way we'll have more to work from when we're deciding what order things happen in.

I also only read about half the book, and it was some year and a half ago. My clearest memory is of a scene in which some townspeople are blowing a hanged man amidst some sort of town mutilation orgy, which stuck in my mind because my schoolteacher was peaking over my shoulder as I read it, making me (as you can imagine surely) awfully uncomfortable. hehe

The idea of the character attempting to come into existence but not being much cared for by the rest of the video almost made me shriek and clap my hands with excitement; very fun! The scenes are already established, yet a person can't help but exist, so they aren't in the right and he/she's not in the wrong and contrariwise. Of course, it doesn't have to be the duckish private eye; this can be any of an infinite character selection, perhaps a patchwork organism you and I can collaborate on. 

The music probably would depend on the speed of the video. Glitchy dnb would be cool for something very fast paced. I noticed (now that I've gotten around to checking my deviation stack messages) you like Aphex Twin? I've been obsessed with this other song off of drukqs called "Ziggomattic" (I think). It's a masterpiece and at the end, this computerized voice goes "Thank you for listening, Goodbye." If it's more slow paced some eerie trip hop could be cool, or dark "dubstep" like Burial or Shlohmo or something. 

I'm excited to see this storyboard. I'll be drawing up some more characters in their vocations/locations and hopefully we can get this up and running

yeah, ziggomatic is brilliant. aphex twin is my shit. i would say to keep exploring if you haven't already, because he's a pretty unique artist.

it's difficult for me to suggest music for this because i tend to associate all my favorite music with specific periods of my life, so it's hard to peel it off from that context unless it's something i just barely started listening to. if that makes sense. so basically what i'm saying is i won't have much to offer in that category. even if i did, it depends on the video, like you said.

i'm stoked to see your characters. i hope the duckish private eye is included. i think something as goofy lookin' as a duckish person would be a fitting choice for this character who keeps putting his nose (or beak) into other people's business. i also thought it might be kinda neat if he tries to come back by morphing from an object in the room, like a chair, but he can't get it right so he gets stuck being half-chair. and contributing to the difficulty he has with staying in the movie, he could get crushed by falling objects or pushed off screen because he's not fast enough.

it turns out that the washing machine scene would need dialogue if we were to include it. speaking of which, i did a storyboard-ish thing. here is the link.

hoy. so, i noticed it's been awhile...have you been able to work on any ideas lately? i understand if life is hectic and whatnot, but i just thought i'd check in because i don't want this stuff to sit around and get old before we've even made it into reality.

Oh boy oh boy I'd love to.  What do you have in mind?

ah, nothing at the moment, but i mean it should be a drawing. i'll try to think of some ideas and shoot them your way, possibly later tonight when i'm a bit stoned. but hey, if you come up with something before i do, that works too! i haven't collaborated with anyone over the internet before, so it should be interesting.

What do you think of a video? It's unfortunately tough to say how something like that would work out, but if the creation of such a thing were possible over the internet, it would certainly be interesting. A picture, of course, would be fantastic in itself. You and I could always do something like taking a particular drug (which could be decided later) at our respective locations while creating our respective parts of the artwork. Or perhaps something with levels to take turns on, i.e. floors in a building, or circles in a mandala (9 circles of the inferno type deal). Some sort of complicated theme/concept/storyline to work around; or something haphazard/stream-of-consciousness... hmm, lemme know

i actually would like to do a video, but i didn't think you'd be interested. i think there's ways to pull it off. we could both come up with some locations and characters, or just wacky stuff to animate...i had a few ideas for specific scenes earlier, maybe i could draw some of those out, and you could draw stuff out, and we could show each other and figure out if there's a good direction to take it?

That sounds great. The only issue is that my animation knowledge is super lacking (sorry if I implied the opposite with the "Hey, how 'bout a video?!"). I'll take advantage of the learning incentive. In the meantime, there's plenty of imaginary creatures, places, boys and girls taking up space in my brain, complete with their own pint-sized adventures. If you want, you could describe some of your scenes or draw them out first thing if you prefer; I'm eager to see what you have in mind. It might be fun for the finished product to be really fucking weird and a bit twisted: something to make your average joe furrow his brow, ya know? Either that, or something wistful, or both

i'm all for making it as fucked up and fun as we can. animation ain't as hard as it looks! i'll get some things down in some form or another, but my internet access will be iffy for a few days so it'll be delayed.

We're all rather intricate arrangements, ain't we?
