Fame and Misfortune is such a great episode in retrospect, when I was little it was great to see a way to deal with people who pointed out your flaws (Flawless is a top tier song), but as an adult is such a great metaphor for creatives and how we approach fan spaces.

Like, no matter what you do, the art you produce will be flawed somehow. Characters will not appeals to everyone, plot lines will go over people's heads, and media literacy is at an all time low.

But you don't do art for others, you do it for yourself, your artistry, and the people it inspires. In the internet everyone will take their own meaning out of things and be very defensive of their own takes. But your art is not valued on what they think.

People see it as content for the machine, but art of any kind is that. Is a part of ourselves, and of what we choose to show to the world.

All this to say that watching MLP is very therapeutic as an adult who grew up with it.

Something like this would be so colossally helpful. I'm sick and tired of trying to research specific clothing from any given culture and being met with either racist stereotypical costumes worn by yt people or ai generated garbage nonsense, and trying to be hyper specific with searches yields fuck all. Like I generally just cannot trust the legitimacy of most search results at this point. It's extremely frustrating. If there are good resources for this then they're buried deep under all the other bullshit, and idk where to start looking.

sometimes im like... hmmm. My dystopian book might be too unrealistic-- and then I look into the history of mathematics in america and:

HELLO?????

FUNGUARY IS HAPPENING AGAIN!!! February is right around the corner, which means it’s soon time for Funguary 2024! the drawing event where we draw a bunch of mushroom based characters during the month of feb. This will be our third year of Funguary, and this time it’s a leap year!

Here’s how it works: Each week of the month will have a theme with seven different prompts, draw a mushroom character within that theme in order to join. The themes are Celestial, Demonic, Edible and Cryptic. Each week of February is a new theme. You don’t have to complete all the prompts, just one mushroom per theme/week is plenty!

If you’re hardcore you can definitely try and finish all the prompts though ;). The challenge intensity is adjustable to what suits you. This is a chill event where the goal is to just have fun and vibe, and honor the fungi kingdom with some really cool art🍄

I invite you all to come draw mushrooms with me! Use the hashtag #Funguary and #funguary2024 when posting your creations. I’ll be posting some of the creations here, and I’ll also be hanging out in the hashtag and comment sections! Really hope y’all join and draw fungi with me🥰🍄🌿 See you all on the first of February, LETS GOOOO!!
