Happy ending to 2021=Happy start to 2022

2021 wasn't famous for being positive. Rather than bathing in the mercy of Stendarr, the love of Mara, and the light of Akatosh, we get instead the whip of Molag Bal, the jaws of Anduin, and the sharp end of Hircine's spear.

It didn't help that an unpleasant episode of Bonnie & Clyde hit a great content creator lately. I'm not talking about Xiaxue because I don't care about her Ryangate interview with Sylvia. I don't care but my fellow Singaporeans seem to differ. That proved me to be different and un-Singaporean. Neither am I referring to a Roman god who got removed from a competition featuring multiple Roman gods due to the Senate Praetorian Force intervening because of a complaint involving real-life Michelangelo photos.

The content creator I'm talking about is none other than Malukah. If you're a Singaporean, chances are you don't know who she is. But if you've played Skyrim and beyond, you'll know who she is. In fact, I suspect you only need to know how awesome Elder Scrolls heroism truly is.

While it's a good thing to see this Bonnie & Clyde mess cleaned up. It also begs an important question: Is it now the time for Oda Nobunaga to rout Imagawa Yoshimoto with his army of 2500 dudes? Okay, that's hyperbole.

I'm referring to the idea of a content platform catering to content creators of artistic excellence. In other words, it's not a club for social influencers. Ambitious, yes. Possible? Well, maybe (i.e. just maybe) we can get some positivity from the most unexpected source. Namely, the Prime Minister of Japan from 2001 to 2006.

"Taizo. All of mankind's greatest endeavours and achievements started off as impossible from the ground. If you don't do the impossible, you're less likely to succeed!"

- Koizumi Junichiro

Note: Koizumi Junichiro never said that. More specifically, the quote is from the manga series The Legend of Koizumi. Clearly, this quote was only as real as the possibility of Sanada Matajiro being real and that he's the reason why Koizumi had to settle for a divorce. Of course, this wouldn't make any sense since Miyamoto Kayoko's response would have incurred the wrath of feminists at home and beyond.

So what am I going to do here?

I'm going to up works of independent content creators. While it's literally impossible for me to up every single such work, the names you're going to see are the representatives of the indie creativity world at large. I'm doing this for free and without asking for permission (hopefully, the latter won't get me into trouble), but the point is to support quality content.

Note: In case you're wondering whether she's singing the above song in English, she's actually singing in Polish because the Witcher series originated from Poland due to a Polish dude.
