✦ MY NAME IS ATARI formerly known as NUGS since forever but you can also call me however. ive been a creator who floats around the internet✦ i love learning and experimenting but i always have a hard time convincing myself to start. my style is constantly changing as i discover new methods so youll notice that i might use a technique in one piece but not in others yet. beyond my freelance work i delve into 3D sometimes and i eventually want to bring my ideas to life through full animations as i have been passionate about and experienced in this field since i was very young
✦ im a nervous person who easily stresses and cant be the first one to reach out and i know i can come off as unapproachable but honestly im the one whos scared to respond so theres no pressure at all✦ my favorite holidays are halloween and valentines day and if i could afford everything in a store id probably buy the whole place✦ i have a long list of favorite aesthetics but the one that means the most to me is the early internet because they take me back to a comforting time in my life. i collect a lot of resources and have an entire folder dedicated to things that give me that feeling of nostalgia
✦ i truly enjoy the things i create even though my style never seems to stay in one place. outside of art i have a soft spot for collecting small objects! anything from tiny containers . pencil cases . mini drawers . cute decor . and any stationery that matches my interests...nothing like that is ever safe from me :3✦ i LOOOOOOVE arthropods whether extinct or still around i try to study the ones i find interesting along with all sorts of marine creatures with pinchers and claws. i was always that kid in the toy aisle trying to collect every strange creature that wasnt a cat or dog
BEFORE YOU INTERACT ✱
✦ i occasionally use reclaimed slurs in my vocabulary with people i am very close with. if that still makes you uncomfortable please consider this your warning✦ i prefer my audience to be 16–17 or older; if you are younger than that this may limit interaction because i am very uncomfortable✦ my art may explore darker themes- including gore . horror . self harm adjacent imagery and similar concepts. i will provide appropriate content warnings when necessary. please keep this in mind if you choose to engage with my content✦ oftentimes i do not review an individuals history beyond the age listed on their profile before interacting with them. if you are aware of someone i know who may be problematic or who is continuing to engage in harmful behavior please let me know directly
DO NOT INTERACT ✱
✦ to be completely clear: if i have blocked you do not seek me out on another platform. i want no further interaction with you and attempting to circumvent that boundary is creepy and obsessive <3 if you are choosing to air our private issues to other people that only further validates my decision to distance myself from you without a word. i have no interest✦ if you are a proshipper / darkshipper / or someone who condones incest or any form of animal or child abuse you are never welcome on any of my platforms. likewise individuals involved in communities that promote self harm or disordered behaviors [ such as certain twt subgroups / propara communites ] are not welcome
WHAT IS IT ABOUT ✱
stage fright is a psychological horror comic that blends elements of raw and unsettling terror. the story explores themes of the afterlife . religious trauma . and existential fear of dying due tothe narrative follows a young adult named paislynn. a tech-savvy conspiracy realist who is deeply invested in the rumors and urban legends surrounding her small town. what begins as curiosity soon becomes something far more dangerous when she uncovers the truth behind these stories. a truth that ultimately costs her life or rather...reshapes itpaislynn is drawn into another dimension governed by four distinct realms. within this unfamiliar existence she confronts the horrors of being deadas she comes to understand it. this place is the afterlife. but not heaven. not hell. and not anything humanity has defined before. it exists somewhere in between. beyond moral certainty or divine order. forcing paislynn to face unsettling truths about death...belief and what lies beyond everything
WHO ARE IMPORTANT ✱
paislynn is the protagonist of the story. she was born in puerto rico and was nicknamed pia as a baby. living there until the age of seventeen. paislynn's background is ordinary and unremarkable by design. she is neither destined nor chosen for what happens to her. she does not understand why she is drawn into these events nor does she realize the forces shaping her fate. she is a victim. not a hero in the traditional sense. the story follows her as she is consumed by the horrors of existence itself. the terror of the unknown and gradually warped by the things she is forced to witness
WHAT ARE THE REALMS ✱
within these realms exist the reshaped remnants of human lives. some are given small insignificant roles while others are elevated into larger more influential existences. many are made to reenact fragments of their former lives while others are forced into horrific living conditions that mirror or punish what they once were.these souls survive under the rule of their Realm's Leader. gradually adapting to their assigned existence. each realm becomes a distorted new home. one not chosen but imposed as a direct consequence of their death
WHAT IS THE POINT ✱
at its core. the story examines what it would mean if death were not a release marked by a final, peaceful breath. the horror does not come from what is meant to be frightening. but from what is meant to be comforting. and isnt. It is the twisted realization that accepting ones fate does not lead to rest. and that you are never truly gone. the promise of warmth. of being held by a higher existence. is revealed to be an illusion. instead. you are repurposed . used . and made a permanent part of an endless cycle. another stage of decomposition rather than an ending.within the story. mother or "the unknown" represents one of the symbolic doors humanity has been taught to worship: the promise of ascension . salvation . or peace after death. however this belief is confronted with a brutal truth. the body is never allowed to rest. even after returning to the earth. existence continues in a distorted form. almost as punishment. it is a permanent fate. shaped unknowingly by choices and beliefs formed during life. long before death ever arrives
