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.
I love that in tumblr people aren't famous. Posts are. It's due to the fact that posts are made by the contribution of several blogs. I just think this is neat.
Short stories are no less important than long stories. Writing a 100-word story or a 50-word story or a 10-word story or a 3-word story does not make you any less of a writer than someone who writes 100k or more. Your short stories are valuable too.
i've seen a few aro and/or aces feeling embarrassed/ashamed/etc. for feeling attracted to fictional characters instead of actual people, meanwhile i've genuinely never been happier doing so LOL. real people suck.
“dni if you’re problematic” is level 95 middle schooler behavior btw. “problematic” by what standards? my brother in christ, you’ve got to be more specific. but I can promise you that you are also “problematic” in some people’s opinions whether it be online or irl, whether or not you know it. unless you’re a literal saint who’s never done anything wrong, ever, in your life, I guarantee you this; you are also “problematic” in someone’s opinions. I am problematic in someone’s opinions. every single one of us is problematic in someone’s story, sorry to break it to you though.
“real whump- ” is when I put a blorbo in Unpleasant Situations. the physical and emotional extent to which these Situations are Unpleasant has no bearing on the reality of a blorbo having a bad time. the presence or absence of other characters, whether dishing out Unpleasantness or trying to mitigate the Unpleasantness, has no bearing on the reality of a blorbo having a bad time. “is xyz real whump?” who fucking cares. 2018 called they want their gate keeping exclusionist snobbery back.
