pros of being an artist:

-i can bring life to a concept that up to that point only existed in my head -ppl wanna see me draw their fellas in my art style (flattering) (fulfilling)

cons of being an artist:

-when im Not making art i feel like im being boiled in oil

there’s something to the juxtaposition of 30/90 by Jonathan Larson who turned 30 in 1990 and 30 by Bo Burnham who was born in 1990 and both of them writing songs on the dread of aging and all that like i’m too tired to properly work out the entire thought but there’s something

occasionally I am struck dumb by the sublime beauty of the world in the small moments, you know?

egg

[wraether]

i drew it

[monstrousregiment2-deactivated2]

hey I hope you dont mind I also painted your egg

[kiunlo]

i also painted the egg hope that's ok

[yellow-cat]

i heard we were painting egg?

[rhube]

I love how this shows how real artists drawing a thing aren't just representing the thing, but showing you what THEY found beautiful in it.

[geodethecrow]

hope I'm not too late to paint egg! watercolors :)

[pipsqueaks-human-errors]

[kamil-a]

heres my egg

[queen-susans-revenge]

Love every single one of these eggs. No yeah of course it's still okay to write your vampire story or whatever, even if a thousand people have done it before you. Your art will still be uniquely yours and people will find something fresh in your perspective. Paint your egg.

contrary to popular belief not everyone has an innate sense of internal gender or care to have one or seek a name for it, some people go their whole lives without questioning their occupation in one of two gender roles, but for some people, if pressed, they don’t feel that internal sense of ‘i am a woman’ or ‘i am a man’, and in that case i feel the switch over to transgender vs cisgender relies on active identification of a gender other than the one they were assigned. if someone’s like ‘idk dude I just work here’ then that’s valid

#i would describe my gender as not exactly ‘idk dude i just work here’ #more like…..when someone assumes you work somewhere that you don’t #but you know how to help them so you do it anyway #my gender is wearing a red shirt at a target

These are the best tags

[cobblepottery]

A portion of people in the notes are like ‘but that makes you trans. That’s called being agender’ and another portion of people are going ‘this is how the majority of cis ppl feel and it’s NOT agender’ and personally I feel like both of them are missing the point here. Yes a lot of people identify as agender because of this feeling. Yes a lot of people with this same feeling still identify as cis. These are not mutually exclusive experiences and it doesn’t mean the agender people are secretly cis or the cis people are secretly agender. It just means they have very similar experiences of gender that they choose to conceptualize and label differently, and neither of them are mistaken or wrong to do so.

if you don't know how to end a written work you should be able to just let the words fade out like an 80s song and not resolve anything for the reader

[teaboot]

The last 5 pages should just be in progressively lighter text until it’s no longer legible at all

where’s the person i used to be and what have you done to them? [directed at myself]

[biandanxious18]

Yesterday, I dropped my favorite mug on the ground.

The handle, delicate thing, broke in three pieces and left behind a small stump.

I washed it, put it back in the cupboard, and this morning, out of my many, many mugs, I picked still that very same one

- if out of habit, stubbornness or devotion, I don’t know;

Is there a difference?

My cup of tea, freshly made, now rests uncomfortably between my hands;

my fingers strained from trying to hold on to the small piece of handle left, or burned by the hot touch of this beloved mug.

This, I think to myself, soothing my bare skin, is typical of me:

I’ve never been able to let go of anything that I love.

Not when it breaks; not when it changes;

not when it hurts.

Sometimes the rats in my brain come together and start yelling “YEARNING” and in trying to appease them I ask “FOR WHAT” but they are too small so all they can say is “YEARNING” which is a very big word for such a tiny creature, even collectively

[mandyseley]

I loved this visual so much I had to doodle it.

Thank god this is still circulating because of your wonderful art, Mandy. I needed it tonight

contrary to popular belief i think calvin's adhd is, funnily enough, medicated. he takes extended release ritalin every morning alongside his chocolate frosted sugar bombs. this is because he appreciates being more easily able to focus on his various Schemes, Projects, and Machinations while more effectively ignoring schoolwork

[edgebug]

calvin's dad pulling up to the house and seeing the whole driveway covered in a (completed) snowman recreation of the entire terracotta army and he takes a deep breath and greets calvin's mom with "i see calvin remembered his methylphenidate today"

[butterflypeaflowertea]

[biandanxious18]

my dad was super bothered by me saying that i think i have adhd and was hitting me with the “everyone does that! i do that too!” but he didn’t expect me to start then saying he might very well have adhd as well
