Contrary to popular belief the biggest beginner's roadblock to art isn't even technical skill it's frustration tolerance, especially in the age of social media. It hurts and the frustration is endless but you must build the frustration tolerance equivalent to a roach's capacity to survive a nuclear explosion. That's how you build on the technical skill. Throw that "won't even start because I'm afraid it won't be perfect" shit out the window. Just do it. Just start. Good luck.

has anyone noticed that after the porn ban of 2018 tumblr was essentially killed from the mainstream and everyone flocked to other social media sites like twitter and meta. then those sites got enshittified to where twitter became Nazi Central and meta sites had an entire meme around getting “zucced” aka mark zuckerberg himself would ban you for saying a no-no word like fuck. and then the mainstream shifted to tiktok where infamous toddlerspeak sentences like “he got unalived by a pew pew” were born because if you once again say a no-no word like kill or gun or any other word that isn’t corporate i mean kid friendly then the algorithm will bury your post into the ground. and somehow we’ve come full circle and tumblr is now the most bearable social media site because although we can’t have female presenting nipples we can at least talk to each other like adults. has anyone noticed that at all or is it just me and the flaming skull

I don't think Tolkien is a good fantasy writer because he scored the highest at some objective Best Fantasy Book Test that every fantasy writer has to take, I think he's a good fantasy writer because he created a world based on things that he was interested in. I feel like a lot of fantasy writers think that they need to create a whole language for their world because Tolkien did and obviously his books are the best so they have to emulate him, but Tolkien did that because he was a linguistics nerd. I think the lesson to be learned from him is not that you have to include elves and deep history and new languages, but that you have to write endlessly about the things you are a huge nerd about and use those things to create your fantasy world

my ao3 tags be like: egregious smut. siege warfare. plagiarizing bob dylan. face sitting. hurt no comfort. not beta read. cheeky banter.

and then I don't finish the fic.

Any guesses to who it is ?

I am living off of crumbs - I read the Cosmopolitan article with @senlinyu yesterday and it had a little treat. | did want to color in her dress but I also couldn't decide on a poison green shade and lost that battle.

Why is it always “how are you?” and never “hey, I noticed you’re down, here’s a bound copy of Manacled by Senlinyu”?

⚠️ TW: Blood / Spoilers — Secrets & Masks ⚠️

I can't believe this is my first time drawing something for the fic that changed my brain chemistry and turned me into a fanfic crybaby, a year ago! Happy Secrets & Masks anniversary to me! 🖤

Thank you, Emerald Slytherin, for this gift to the fandom. I have no words to express how much I love Secrets & Masks, so I made a drawing instead, I guess?

For @/papercranesandapples's DTIYS!

I love that the fandom has collectively agreed that Theodore Nott is a delightful little shit 😊💚

Be kind to your past self when rereading old writing. It just shows you've grown.
