you can just call me kris. yes, i did steal that name from the deltarune character. i am cringe but i am free. i am the textbook definition of a loser; a complete nobody. i am a depressed suicidal 20-something year old virgin (that can't drive) neet artist. i mainly make illustration, comics, and cartoony character designs, but my real dream has always been to do animation, so i've been trying to do those things less and actually animate, but man is difficult when you're a raging perfectionist. i also like to code but only really for fun. it's one of the things i try not to stress over and not take seriously like i do everything else in my life.
i'm extremely introverted and i only have one real friend but we never talk because we live in different states. i never leave my house. it's pretty pathetic honestly. but where i live, there isn't much to do anyways. i don't want to be this way forever; it's my dream to move away far from this life and become someone else. but right now it's only a dream because i can't afford that right now. lol.
do you want the long story or the short one?
i'll give you both. for both.
it all started in 2019. in highschool, i took a coding/html class. i can't remember how the hell i got in that class. i've always liked computers and shit so i think i put myself in it because it intrigued me. but i dunno. and i fucking loved that class. it is one of the only classes in school i truly liked (besides yk art and the occasional science class). it got me into coding. kinda. i made some test websites here and there but it wasn't until the great year of 2021 that i would actually become a master of the web.
enter ONIONROOM, an artist i found through his fnf fanart. now i can't remember exactly how it happened but i'm pretty sure he was either promoting his neocities on twitter and it was also linked on his NG (Newgrounds). and so i guess i liked checked it our or sumn and was like "this cool asf imma do this lol". SO THEN i started like reteaching myself html and started learning new shit but i got SICK OF LEARNING and just made the website with whatever skillset i had. and when it was done...it was fuckin ugly. immedeitely after i made the first version of it i revamped the whole thing.
and so, the deadland webmaster era is born. it also came from me starting to fall in love with old web and 2000's type shit, which ties in with the onionroom (rip legend he would've loved the new fnf update) thing because his art was super inspired by like 2000's anime and old web type shits. god this is too fuckin long.
soooo deadland. what is that? who is that? there's a couple backgrounds to this name and the sona that came out of it.
from what i can remember, the name "deadland" originated from a TERRIBLE comic idea i had in 8th grade that i'm so glad i never actually made because it was weird as fuck. basically me and all my friends died so i trapped all of us in purgatory or some shit. very weird. i don't know exactly why it became my online name. i remember my instagram name being something stupid so i changed it to "dead_land" or sumn like that, but i hated the underscores and thought the names without symbols looked cleaner, so i turned it into "deadlandddah".
now for the character, it's a little different. my sona has gone through A LOT but that's another story. this little fella with the ponytail and painfully boring outfit has been my sona since i was like 12 years old. originally, they were just me. but the character has evolved a lot over the years. they are still me...i guess? just like...not at the same time. same with the cat hat mother fucker. that is me but like unhinged and fucking insane.
the cat hat fucker is Deadland and the ponytail haver is Smeeg. Smeeg used to be Dead until VEERY recently i let this creature take the smeeg name. smeeg head is like my unserious username. i use it on like random n personal shits. Smeeg has a counterpart, Esmeg, who is constantly trying to kill them lol. Smeeg also has kinda like a Sanders Sides (yall i said i was cringe) kinda deal goin on where they have like these facets of their personaily (my personality) that can either be part of them or split off and like be a person I DON'T FUCKING KNOW HOW TO EXPLAIN IT IT'S LITERALLY SANDERS SIDES BUT INSTEAD OF A HANDSOME WHITE MAN IT'S A DEPRESSED SUICIDAL CARTOON CHARACTER.
that is so much unneeded info about a character you're going to forget you ever even read about lmao
