id be more neutral on tadc ships if people werent so obsessed with them but now they genuinely bore me . i do not want any of these characters to kiss. what is so appealing about both the group and one on one dynamics is that basically no one is even friends. largely untapped dynamic of 'we're stuck together, but we cant die, leave, or even get hurt, so i dont even have to care about you.' followed up often by an 'i do, though.'

"do you have any actual friends" is gonna kill me. zooble and gangle are friends. jax and ribbit were friends. what is everyone else? its not quite friendship. its a constant mutual understanding. its leaving a stranger to die so you can escape before realizing you cant and now you have to face her everyday of your life. its, youre being mean, but youre upset and im here, so lets sit in this back alley and talk about it. its, we're gonna go back to the group and youre gonna forget this ever happened, arent you. its fake positivity and sarcastic optimism. its hating yourself so much you cant stand to be around other people. its saying things just because you can say them. and it is unbelievably lonely, but the fact that it is lonely is always entirely your fault.

the fact is that everyone is always about 2 degrees away from tearing eachother apart with their teeth if it'd actually make a fucking difference is what makes all the moments of kindness range so easily from extremely strained to extremely genuine. and im obsessed with it. i would watch 6 hours straight of them all attempting to have something resembling a normal conversation with each other. but my ultimate point is i fucking hate love and im gonna drown jax and pomni in an aromantic lake

I feel like some of you guys think "bad art" is like someone gluing rhinestones to a water melon, or a guy who made his own armchair out of Ohio license plates, or a trashy romance novel where someone says "the blue-eyed one kissed the brown-eyed one," when in reality bad art is a 1000000 Billion Dollar movie where none of the workers got paid and every single creative decision was market tested to see how lucrative of a profit it could foreseeably make to wow shareholders.

The best advice i can give any creator is do it before you're good at it, do it BEFORE you're happy, do it while you suck, do it while you're doubting yourself and get stuck the fuck in, because waiting around to be "good enough" is a motherfucking trap of the highest degree. You'll get good along the way and better after ever project is complete. Remember, this is the greatest thing you've ever created, and then you'll do something else. You're only ever gonna get better, but not if you stand still.

I just heard the phrase, “If you wouldn’t trust their advice, don’t trust their criticism” for the first time and I don’t think I’ve ever needed to hear anything more

Okay I JUST realized I never posted these on here—- BUT BASICALLY, about a year and a half ago I started doing these experimental black hairstyle posts that were threads long on Twitter, to give artists a source of inspo for their black ocs whose hair they wanted to try something new with! There’s more to black hair than just the selected styles portrayed in media, and I thought it would be fun to show people how much texture, shape, fades, length, and style can be combined when drawing black hair—-cause it’s a kind of manipulation our hair can do irl! The OG posts were lost with the hacking of my original Twitter account (@/bagels_donuts) but I’ve since reuploaded the whole thread to my new Twitter (@/ItsDonutsFR)! I hope artists on tumblr find these useful, sorry it took me so long to post them here😭🙏🏾 I’ll upload them all in parts!

Part 1: Long masc hairstyles + playing with fades

there is something so crazy and powerful about having art of your oc that was made by anyone other than yourself. like oh my god you actually exist outside of my own brain that's WILD

PSA: Writing a book can take a looooong time. If you've been working on your project for a year, two years, five years... you're not doing anything wrong. If you've written three drafts and thrown them all away, if you can only write a hundred words a day, if you put your book down for six months and pick it up again only to be baffled by what you've written... Congratulations. You're not inefficient or slow. You're just a writer. Welcome to the writing life.

”Are you an introvert or an extrovert? Do people energize you or drain you? Would you rather be at a party or a library?” Stop subscribing me to binaries. Social interaction is invigorating and makes my life better and I’m exhausted the whole time.
