you CANNOT hold me accountable for accidentally making a homestuck reference when i've never read homestuck. if you recognized it that's YOUR problem it's YOUR sin.

People love to be like “oh hee hoo hoo I caught you making a homestuck reference” as if it isn’t like a billion pages long and presumably mentioned everything in existence at least once

you know a joke that never EVER gets old is when a character says smth like “I will NOT go to [place] and that is FINAL” and then it cuts to them in that place I eat that shit up every single time

bimbinis

Equally good variant: when the character says smth like “what’s the worse that could happen?” and it cuts to a scene where it’s so much worse than what they imagined

life hack from art school: instead of saying you cant draw something or that you dont like something about your art, just say the element “wasn’t working”

had to change a pose because it was too difficult to draw? it “didn’t work” compositionally!

feel like something is off about the background? it doesn’t suck, it’s just not working for the piece!

art is all about finding ways to convey an idea or emotion in a VERY subjective way, so thinking about it in terms of “working/not working for this piece” instead of “good/bad” is very helpful for me personally. it’s a small step you can take towards having a healthy outlook on your work!

wzysabel

Whenever I draw something and I don’t like how it comes out, instead of telling myself that it’s bad because “I’m a bad artist”, I tell myself that it’s simply boring in terms of colours or composition and that’s why I don’t like it. This made me a lot less self-conscious.

kiwi

that’s a very good point!! being able to identify WHAT exactly in the piece bothers you can cut down on a lot of that self loathing

i dont see a lot of people talking about how to healthily self-critique, which is a really important thing for artists to learn (considering we’re all so incredibly critical of our own work)

ask yourself first what IS working. what elements do you want to keep? do you need to keep working on this piece that’s frustrating you, or can you incorporate that part you really like into a different setting?

then move on to what ISN’T working. find references for things you’re not sure how to draw! learn how to let go of the things that just won’t work no matter how many times you try them. sometimes an idea for a drawing is really cool, but the execution won’t match what you’re imagining. (not even sometimes, but a LOT of times.)

check all of the principles of design in your piece– this infographic is really helpful. go down the list and ask yourself which principles are present in your piece, and if closer attention to any of them could make your piece start working.

finally, STEP AWAY from your work for a long time! come back to it the next day!! the longer i give myself to take a break from it, the better i can look at it objectively.

September 21, 2020 - Ron Cobb, best known for being the production designer for several major films, has died at 83 years of age. Cobb brought to life several cantina creatures for Star Wars (1977) and came up with weaponry and sets for Conan the Barbarian (1982), the exterior and interior of the Nostromo ship in Alien (1978) and the earth colony complex in Aliens (1986), and the DeLorean time machine in Back to the Future (1985).

More interestingly, to me at least, is that in the 1960s and 70s he was a great radical political cartoonist, and sadly, many cartoons of those days are still just as relevant today. A small selection:

Rest in Peace, Ron Cobb. Find more of his cartoons here: http://roncobb.net/cartoons.html

“5 Ways White Women Center Themselves in Conversations About Race

1. Crying

I don’t care whether you’re crying because you feel attacked or crying because you feel guilty — either way, you need to stop. When you cry the natural focus shifts to you because many folks don’t feel comfortable continuing a conversation with someone who is so visibly distraught. You’ve created two scenarios: either I have to console you, or I have to put away the conversation. Neither is fair and both are to appease you — the white person who is not harmed and is actually *benefitted* by racism.

2. Redirecting to Your Trauma

Trauma and mental illness are both very real and should be taken seriously. That said, conversations about racism are not the time and place to focus on the struggles you’ve been through in your life, nor are they sufficient excuses for not engaging in the intentional work of anti-racism.

I always find these redirects ironic because *racism* is traumatic. Constantly dealing with *white fragility* is traumatic. By re-centering the conversation to be about you and your trauma you are contributing to the racial trauma of the person you’re speaking to.

3. Bringing Up Times When You Were A ‘Good Ally’

Please stop. You think we can’t tell, but I promise you —we can. I don’t want to hear about that one time when you stood up for a Black person I don’t want to hear about how inspiring the book you read last month was, and I certainly don’t want to hear about that one friend you have who you noticed did something racist once. I’m sorry you just not going to be getting a biscuit for *any* of that. Save yourself some energy, girl! Quit the show. We’ll know if you’re a good -ally if you show us with your actions. When you recenter yourself in this way it forces us to reassure you that you are in fact a ‘good person’ and ‘not a racist’. Exhausting.

4. Credentialing

This is something that Robin Diangelo discusses in her book White Fragility shaped by her learnings from Black folks. Stop talking about all the qualifications you have in this area. Having Black friends, living in a Black neighborhood, getting a degree in ethnic studies, working in social justice, writing a book. I don’t care how “official” the credential sounds. If you are white there are not enough credentials in the world to immunize you from racism.

This really builds off the last point because you are again centering yourself in a way that expects the person you re speaking to to validate your ‘credential’ as sufficient credit to excuse you of your racism. Yet again, the conversation has become about you.

5. Apologizing For White People And Expressing Your Guilt

Unless you are being called out for a specific harm *you caused* I’m not sure why you’re apologizing. I certainly don’t understand why you re apologizing for people other than yourself!! You can’t do that. Often when I’m talking to white people about race I’m looking for active listening, for empathy, compassion and solidarity. Not apologies and not guilt. I can’t do anything with your guilt. When you recenter the conversation this way the person you’re speaking with is forced to ‘accept your apology’ or attempt to ease your guilt.

A Final Note

While this list was created from my, and other Black folks, experiences with white women, I think some of these items are also relevant to any of us in dialogue about oppressive systems that we benefit from: whether it be transphobia, colorism, xenophobia, or any other form of oppression, those of us who benefit from an oppressive system need to be aware of the way we show up in conversation with those of us who are harmed.”

All of you in the notes who are more focused on the first point, instead of like...reading and comprehending the entire message of the post is the exact kind of derailing the OP is talking about. Someone ALREADY offered ways to avoid making your white tears the center of attention in situations regarding racism. Also, y’all keep forgetting that black people can also be neurodivergent/mentally ill and may not have the same freedom to express their emotions like you.

Like...all of y’all complaining about the first point completely missed the entire reason it was there and still chose to derail the overall message in favor of asking OP how you should go about handling your tears. White neurodivergent/mentally ill people really need to take a step back and stop using their ailments as ‘shields’ for their racism (purposeful or not).
