whenever someone in a story tells a character they're training to fight to treat their weapon like an extension of themselves i always feel like more weight should be put on that statement. on the implication that in learning to wield a weapon you must become it. you must make it a part of you. you must walk down a path from which you will never be able to come back from.

THOUGHT EXPIRIMENT for creators considering ai art: when starting out, i had to make my own covers in specific way which now IMMEDIATELY evokes 'tingle' identity. would my books have taken off if covers were just ai art that 'looked better'? OF COURSE NOT buds wouldve scrolled on

SO MUCH of artistry (but also branding and self promotion) is creating a visual identity. dont make your identity 'generalized slop'

One fallacy, I think, of anti piracy arguments is that a lot of them seem to assume that if I'm unable to pirate something I'm going to pay for it instead rather than going "oh! that's a terrible shame" and then quickly forgetting about it

The core appeal of Willy Wonka is that he's a nigh-omnipotent maniac who uses his near limitless powers over reality to trick shitty people into killing themselves. You can't make him the protagonist of a whimsical coming of age tale - you have to treat him like Jason Voorhees, or Dracula, or any other horror icon. Give him some new victims and new interesting kills and set him loose, that's all audiences want.

I sit through so many meetings of well meaning academics pondering how to get more people from marginalised groups into PhD programs and I'm just. My sibling in academia, have you considered making doing a PhD suck less.

the "you're so gay" line is good because it's important that rose ascends from casual homophobia to being in a polycule with the two queerest dudes on tv in 2005
