I'm so icked by the propaganda that I'm honestly considering not continuing to use it. It's... fun and mindless but I don't want to be used like that :/

Just in case any of you are confused, TikTok being banned and coming back not even 24 hours later with a giant "we thank President Trump" message is NOT a win. It's a huge red flag and a sign that this was a thousand percent planned.

Honestly, my response to "I could never" has become "omg you should tho! You have the desire to create and thats half the battle!" Because it really can be.

I also tend to quote from... somewhere, probably here that "I didn't come out of the womb painting like Picasso" because I didn't! I have works from when I was a kid that are downright childish. But I've been doing this since I've picked up a pencil.

The talent being the rate of learning is such a nice thought process. I've never had a good rebuttle beyond "I've just been doing this for years".

My only other addition is comparison being a thief of joy. I've genuinely come to hate other artists comparing themselves to me no matter the skill level. Cause often it's new artists, young ones, or even just a different level of skill that compare themselves to me and degrade themselves. And this isn't to toot my horn. I despise this so much. Because people have also used me to degrade other artists (one who's a dear friend who hardly draws now cause of it).

Don't compare an artist to another. Style, medium, time, talent, skill, and so much more are in play and a simple "this looks better than x" is so devaluing and cruel. It doesn't boost the other artist in my experience nor is it a good motivator.

So earlier in art class today, someone drew a characters hands in their pockets and mentioned that hands are really like the ultimate end boss of art, and most of us wholeheartedly agreed. So then, our teacher went ahead and free handed like a handful of hands on the board, earning a woah from a couple of students. So the one from earlier mentioned how it barely took the teacher ten seconds to do what I can’t do in three hours. And you know what he responded?

“It didn’t take me ten seconds, it took me forty years.”

And you know, that stuck with me somehow. Because yeah. Drawing a hand didn’t take him fourth years. But learning and practicing to draw a hand in ten seconds did. And I think there’s something to learn there but it’s so warm and my brain is fried so I can’t formulate the actual morale of the lesson.

You've been isekai'd into a fictional setting. Spin this wheel to find out which one.

hey honest question, did anybody have GOOD stuff happen to them in 2024? cause it was really bad for me and for most people i know, so it would be nice to hear about anything that's been going WELL for any of you. even if it's small stuff. just to know there's light out there.

Mg. and Mage are GORGEOUS

I'm using them now.

since mrs, ms, and mr are all descended from the latin word magister, i propose the gender neutral version should be mg, short for "mage"

I've since learned what the link actually is. Fuck.

Your gender is now the first randomized wikipedia article you get. No rerolls.
