I used to be monotheistic. Until the great worm that I worship got cut in half

Blue Monday is the most song ever, there are so many versions and they all fuck. If I were at a club in the 80s and that song came on and I heard it for the first time I would go crazyyyyyy

I recently drew a Woljif in to ASK, a happy birthday. It was very quick, after I dug a house out of the snow =)))

There's a lot of snow in my yard right now, almost up to my shoulders. But forecasts say it will melt very quickly by the end of the week.

So much of writing is this.

yknow theres a lot of pressure to be successful, particularly on artsy kids whose professions are seen as useless unless theyre famous, but life is fucking hard and sometimes things dont turn out

but i think thats not bad. my dad has wanted to be a musician forever, and hes rly pretty good. but then he joined the military to get away from an abusive family, and then he got married, and then he got divorced, and a lot of horrible shit HAPPENED. he has ptsd and severe anxiety and he could never really get back on the horse. and he never made it as a musician, and now hes 53

but i grew up in a house full of instruments, and he can play all of them, and some of my earliest memories are of him playing guitar on the front porch and me thinking there wasnt a better musician in the world. so. even if you dont get to the stars, exactly, what you do isnt worthless. its not a waste of time if life is difficult and you cant make it, or if you arent famous, or if your work doesn’t influence thousands of people. it will influence someone

there are a million ways to be happy and a million ways to be a successful artist. we create what we do to enhance the human experience and relate to each other and improve ourselves. theres something to be said for just doing that,,,for the sake of doing it, yknow

This is the most comforting, warm and important piece of text I have ever read, and it is so true. No life is wasted that is spent sharing and loving.

My mother never became a professional artist. She became a social worker, then later taught emotionally disturbed children. But our home was filled with photographs of wildflowers and wildlife. Spice racks, shelves, and other useful objects were adorned with small paintings. She taught me and my sister that we could make things beautiful, even if in small ways, and let us glue glitter and fake gems on our cheap kids furniture and make it ours. Capitalism tries to say that art isn’t successful unless it makes money. But that’s not why humans make art. We make art to convey emotion. To make an object or a moment or a story OURS. And making someone smile when they hear you sing, or look at something you made for them is as valid a reason for creating as any other.

Title: Sweet Nothing Fandom: Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous Rating: E Status: One-Shot Characters: Calliope (Piper), Eliyen Ivaris Pairings: Calliope/Eliyen Additional Notes: Backstory, Unhealthy Relationship, Emotional Abuse, Jealousy, Power Imbalance, Noncon Elements/Highly Dubious Consent Word Count: 9.4k Summary: At the sound of Calliope’s laugh, Eliyen's grip suddenly tightened on her chin. Her touch was not painful- it never was. Simply firm. For all her moods, Eliyen would never hurt Calliope. Not in a way that would leave a mark and ruin her pretty façade. A tiefling bard has captured the attention of a wealthy noblewoman. How very fortunate for her.
