Man, reminds me of my journey early on newgrounds. I was inspired by the same things and held the ClockCrew in too high regard to join immediately. I went through the same journey of being terrified of my flash getting blammed. Actually getting a flash past judgement on a day that wasn't clockday felt like a real achievement. The only difference is that you actually got good at animating. Very nostalgic story, well animated and well told. Happy Clock Day!
