So there was another pride themed exhibition in library again so I went there, borrowed like 5+ books and 3 movies. They were also selling old books and magazines so I bought 10 for 1€. I'm going to post more about them later. 📚

cinnamon latte— would you ever want to dye your hair? if you have before, what color was it and why?

peppermint cappuccino— what’s your favorite genre of movie, tv show, or video game and why?

warm mocha— would you rather be in a sunny field of flowers and grass, or would you rather be in an ambient cafe with rain outside?

caramel macchiato— do you sleep with stuffed animals? if so, do you have a favorite?

vanilla chai— do you have any hobbies that your followers don’t know about? or any hobbies that you once had, but stopped doing?

strawberry milk— what’s your way of showing someone you love them, platonically or romantically?

iced frappe— how quickly do you fall asleep? do you only go to bed when exhausted so you fall asleep quickly, or do you lay in bed with the world on your mind?

hibiscus tea— how often do you stay up all night instead of sleeping? what was the reason you stayed up all night?

cold brew— what percent is your phone on right now?

steamed espresso— do you like roller coasters and other thrill rides at amusement parks? why or why not?

almond milk— would you ever want to plan a road trip with friends? or would you rather visit one area and enjoy what’s there?

Other books I borrowed from the library:

I own a pack of cards but I don't remember any rules for any card games so I borrowed this

I've played Dungeons and Dragons for about a year (I've been in three campaigns so far) and I recently rekindled my passion for the game so I borrowed this book and I thought I could try to finish reading it this time around

Unfortunately I couldn't find either of these books in Goodreads so I can't share any links to them

[hazel-reads-and-draws]

There was Pride themed books collected together as a kind of small exhibition (?) in a library downtown. I went there to check them out and borrowed a bunch of them. I'll add pics of them öater

New Young Adult books being released on my birthday

*giggles* I feel pretty special now

[decemberistsfan]

having a bit of an ego is essential to the artistic process

[decemberistsfan]

its mostly died down now but i am still really sick of the culture that tends to perpetuate around digital art where your art is never good enough, everyone else’s work is better than you, your art or your page or your name being some variant on ‘trash’, ‘garbage’, bad… 

i don’t really think it helps anyone! to be so constantly self deprecating all the time, because the nature of art is that it’s never going to quite look like it does in your head because the human imagination is a fickle thing, and this constant ‘aaah its not Good’ instict is going to halt your progress, because you’re never going to get to that stage where it looks perfectly as how you imagine it.

accepting your art as it is and understanding that just because it’s not like your imagination doesn’t mean it’s bad, and appreciating the way it looks and that You Made That is absolutely vital. and i think being proud of yourself, being proud of the stuff you make and your improvement is hugely important because that powers you forward… i love thinking about, ‘oh, this will look so cool when i’m done’ and more often than not i finish and i’m like yeah, damn, this DOES look so cool! and trusting that what you make is good will help you explore more, branch out, etc.

thinking you’re kinda hot shit or you’re talented or you’re good at what you do is super super important

[hazel-reads-and-draws]

I think this kind of belief also happens with traditional art...or atleast it did to me. Thanks for this post. Reading these kind words was really important to me
