Original Twitter thread with the artist's thoughts and commentary:
my friends really got into hamilton recently… yes, in 2023
i am basically going through a lot rn… one more video that i saw when i was 14, one more ‘oui, oui, mon ami’ or ‘i will kill your friends and family…’ followed by a laughter & I. WILL. IMPLODE.
god is showing me my true image that i had the luxury of forgetting about and it’s sort of giving me an existential crisis
i have to live with knowledge that i was like that, truly terrifying
on the other hand… they’re so easy to impress
i really hope they won’t find out about hetalia though, yeah… i’d like to forget about that period of time permanently

(also look up the original post from time to time for more plays)
The 1979 Julius Caesar had a powerful effect on me growing up. Charles Grey (of Blofeld fame) is my go-to Caesar.
Here's a link to Julie Taymor's (she also directed Titus) 2014 production of A Midsummer Night's Dream. Obsessed with the way they portray the fairies in this version. Also, the players are amazing in this. And the costuming of the four lovers is great. And the costuming in general. It's just very good.
at some point it's just like. do they even fucking like the thing they're asking AI to make? "oh we'll just use AI for all the scripts" "we'll just use AI for art" "no worries AI can write this book" "oh, AI could easily design this"
like... it's so clear they've never stood in the middle of an art museum and felt like crying, looking at a piece that somehow cuts into your marrow even though the artist and you are separated by space and time. they've never looked at a poem - once, twice, three times - just because the words feel like a fired gun, something too-close, clanging behind your eyes. they've never gotten to the end of the movie and had to arrive, blinking, back into their body, laughing a little because they were holding their breath without realizing.
"oh AI can mimic style" "AI can mimic emotion" "AI can mimic you and your job is almost gone, kid."
... how do i explain to you - you can make AI that does a perfect job of imitating me. you could disseminate it through the entire world and make so much money, using my works and my ideas and my everything.
and i'd still keep writing.
i don't know there's a word for it. in high school, we become aware that the way we feel about our artform is a cliche - it's like breathing. over and over, artists all feel the same thing. "i write because i need to" and "my music is how i speak" and "i make art because it's either that or i stop existing." it is such a common experience, the violence and immediacy we mean behind it is like breathing to me - comes out like a useless understatement. it's a cliche because we all feel it, not because the experience isn't actually persistant. so many of us have this ... fluttering urgency behind our ribs.
i'm not doing it for the money. for a star on the ground in some city i've never visited. i am doing it because when i was seven i started taking notebooks with me on walks. i am doing it because in second grade i wrote a poem and stood up in front of my whole class to read it out while i shook with nerves. i am doing it because i spent high school scribbling all my feelings down. i am doing it for the 16 year old me and the 18 year old me and the today-me, how we can never put the pen down. you can take me down to a subatomic layer and never find the source of it; it is of me. when i was 19 i named this blog inkskinned because i was dramatic and lonely and it felt like the only thing that was actually permanently-true about me was that this is what is inside of me, that the words come up over everything, coat everything, bloom their little twilight arias into every nook and corner and alley
"we're gonna replace you". that is okay. you think that i am writing to fill a space. that someone said JOB OPENING: Writer Needed, and i wrote to answer. you think one raindrop replaces another, and i think they're both just falling. you think art has a place, that is simply arrives on walls when it is needed, that is only ever on demand, perfect, easily requested. you see "audience spending" and "marketability" and "multi-line merch opportunity"
and i see a kid drowing. i am writing to make her a boat. i am writing because what used to be a river raft has long become a fully-rigged ship. i am writing because you can fucking rip this out of my cold dead clammy hands and i will still come back as a ghost and i will still be penning poems about it.
it isn't even love. the word we use the most i think is "passion". devotion, obsession, necessity. my favorite little fact about the magic of artists - "abracadabra" means i create as i speak. we make because it sluices out of us. because we look down and our hands are somehow already busy. because it was the first thing we knew and it is our backbone and heartbreak and everything. because we have given up well-paying jobs and a "real life" and the approval of our parents. we create because - the cliche again. it's like breathing. we create because we must.
you create because you're greedy.
You can only reblog this today.

I love it in the fellowship of the ring book when they’re walking through the mines of moria, and tolkien’s like ”ever since frodo was stabbed by the wraith he had noticed that his vision was better, and he could hear little noises long before everyone else could…” as if it’s some kind of spooky wraith power. Like baby that’s just called hypervigilance, and it’s one of the biggest symptoms of ptsd😩😩😩 Im sorry to have to tell u this frodo, but u don’t have wraith powers, u need to go to therapy🙏 god bless

Silmarillion headcanons #2
So yeah, I have some headcanons regarding the races of different tribes of Elves and Men that imo would work if we adapted Silm as a series or anime, as them being all white is... boring
Seriously: boring af and it's not acceptable
I have some reasonings for my decisions, but most of them were made only bc of THE ALMIGHTY VIBES
inb4: I would like to say that I wanted it to be as respectful to all the races as possible (their history and culture), but if I made a mistake of some sort, plz call me out
So let's start from the beginning
ELVES
Noldor
White
I made this decision tbh purely on the fact that the only red heads we know come from the Noldor (Mahtan, Maedhros, unoficially Nerdanel)
Also, let's be honest
They jumped on a ship in order to gain new territories and kingdoms..........
Vanyar
Black
It's not my headcanon and I've seen that one is popular in the fandom as Indis being black makes Fingolfin (&Finarfin, Lalwen and Findis) mixed and therefore allows us to have mixed!Fingon with his beautiful braids ♡
Also, I imagine that the 'golden hair issue' may be solved with:
Vanyar looking black but having golden hair. They are Elves, not human, they don't have to look the same
Ooooor (and I like this hc better)
Putting gold flakes or golden ribbons (ekhem Fingon) just being very fashionable among the Vanyar
Or both tbh
Teleri & Sindar
East Asian
I've put them together as one race in order to show the closeness of these two tribes (as Elwe and Olwe were brothers) to the viewer bc it would make the tragedy of Thingol finding out about Alqualonde even more dramatic
Also, traditional East Asian ships fit the artistry of Telerin ships soooo well
This one is Chinese
On top of that, I LOOOVE the sound of the Chinese bamboo flute and plz Daeron has to play it
Plus, beautiful flowy dresses (a hanfu in the pic)& jewelery from Eastern Asia would be PERFECT for Luthien, you can't disagree bc I'm right
And we can always make their hair white/gray/blond if we need to
MEN
House of Beör
White, cause it's said they resemble the Noldor afaik
Gotta be consequent
more Mediterranean tho to give them their iconic brown hair
House of Hador
Southern Asian
Numenor has to resemble this kind of architecture and give THE VIBES, okay??
Ughhhh the 'blond hair issue' again
Okay, idc how they are described, they can dye their hair I guess, making them white would ruin my concept
House of Haleth
Native Americans
I have one reason & one reason only!!!
NATIVE AMERICAN HALETH
Thank you for coming to my TEDTalk
Okay, that's it, hope you liked it, I don't have any ideas for the Elven Avari or Sylvan tribes, so gimme your hcs if u have any ♡
I'm tempted to make a Reddit AITA post from Finwë's perspective — my eldest son pulled a knife on his half brother. Everyone in the family is mad and wants him gone. Am I the asshole for going with him? — and see how Reddit judges the first High King of the Noldor
PLEASEEEE I WANT TO SEE IT
plz tag me if u do
Victor Frankenstein: I’ve created life but I refuse to put any effort into helping that life develop. I won’t teach him, love him, or defend him even though I forced him into existence with a fully operational adult brain lol. Peace, bitch.
The Monster: Am Eloquent Baby
Boomers: He’S NOt thE ViCtIM, HE’s tHe MOnsTEr
An ironic parallel considering the idea of “tough love” parenting that plenty of boomers like to use. If they buy into the idea that their kids just have to toughen up and face the real world without guidance or emotional support, I’m sure it does scare them to read a story where someone who wasn’t given any support began to resent their creator and turn on them.
it’s like that post that’s like ‘knowledge is knowing that frankenstein is the doctor; wisdom is knowing that frankenstein is the monster’. like the whole point of the post is that frankenstein’s monster is a victim of viktor frankenstein’s own monstrosity.
mary shelley did not lose her virginity on her mother’s grave just for people to misunderstand her best known work over a century later.
Great post everybody
Silm headcanon #1
feanorians's oath was a pinky promise
maglor made it look more dramatic in his songs so the future generations don't laugh at them
elrond knows what it really looked like only bc maedhros talks in his sleep, is silent about it out of mercy
galadriel had no mercy
What does the arab in your carrd mean? Is it like afab and amab?
.. i’m palestinian
same energy
there’s more
SIGH
here’s another one
IT GETS WORSE WITH EVERY ADDITION
how does this get even worse
I think about once in a while...
We have another one...
This is the internet now tho 😭💀
@lifeistooshorttowasteyourtime @marril96 @latent-thoughts @suometar
😂😂😂
Omg so many additions since I last saw this post! 😂😂😂
It's funny but incredibly telling how entitled/ignorant/insensitive some of these people are... idk if it's an education gap or purposeful ignorance.
The really bewildering thing to me is that I remember when you needed to get up and pull a dictionary off the shelf, or visit a library to look up the facts you needed. Now people have all kinds of information literally at their fingertips and they can’t be bothered to use it.
Oh dear gods, it's gotten worse
When you know politics but no facts
don’t take people too seriously on the internet

Was reading a little thing about Maglor settling in the Shire, and I was thinking about how they have all this genealogy and it’s just.
Hobbit: I can trace my parentage way back to [don’t want to think of an old hobbit nam]
Maglor: I don’t have a great-grandfather
maglor draws them a family tree of the line of finwë and immediately becomes an honorary hobbit
MAGLOR IN CUSTOM TAILORED HOBBIT STYLE CLOTHING?
MAGLOR IN CUSTOM TAILORED HOBBIT STYLE CLOTHING!!!
:D
Hang on!
Does this mean Maglor should be added to the list of potential forefathers of the Tooks?
It’s generally believed in the Shire that Tooks are unnaturally adventurous because one of their distant ancestors was a fairy (which aparently is just a Shire term for “elf”).
Pippin being the great great great something descendant of Maglor was not the take I expected to see today on tumblr but alas I’m all hands on deck for it
Maglor is Tom Bombadil and his and Goldberry’s child is the ancestor of the Tooks, this is the only theory that makes sense, anyway we don’t need to mention his crabsona
Don’t cry. You’re perfect.
