Jeff Peachey knows exactly how you feel.
in 2026 DO NOT ask yourself whether your art is GOOD
instead ask:
is it SINCERE
was it CATHARTIC
was it FUN TO MAKE
is it MADE BY ME
and don't forget to stay silly

I walk up to you crying and sobbing about how I've been spending 30 minutes debating over which color looks better for a drawing im working on .and then these are the two colors I show you
Hey, really weird comment but like five years ago I had an obsession with your Ethan Garvin fan art along with the fanfics to the point they're permanently ingraved into my mind and every time I see them it's like a sleep agent is activated in my body.
Anyways I'm talking about it in a Discord group chat with some friends right now, thought you'd like to know.
SHOTSEEKER!!!!! oh my god ethan garvin literally one of the characters of all time. so exciting to have another sleeper agent thank you for reawakening my love for him. desperately want to draw him now, thank you so much for sending me this message i am THRILLED
Also idk if I need to state this publicly again but hello, Ai is my name and I'm an artist but I draw things with my hands. I'm not artificial intelligence; if anything, I'm organic stupidity.
I made a watermark 🌸
/squints
that's it, that's the organic stupidity part
eekljghgekjghekgkejh I'm pinning this
ID 1: a white graphic on a transparent background. The design is circular and around the outside it reads in all caps white text: "[small flower] Hi, Ai is my name. Yes I'm a weeb. [small flower] I draw things with my hands." Within the circle, empty/negative space spells out in all caps, "Not" in large font, "Artificial Intelligence." Beneath that text, "Yes" in large font, "organic stupidity."
ID 2: a screenshot of the watermark in light mode, where it looks like just blank space due to being white on white.
ID 3: an edited stock photo of a dark skinned scientist holding up a tube with green liquid captioned in all caps, "Finally, AI art"
End ID
so judging by how astonished people are by it every time we explain it to anybody, it seems like my wife and I might really be onto something here
during the pandemic, we invented something we call "astronaut time."
when it's astronaut time, it's like we are two astronauts wearing the big helmets, moving around the station on totally separate tasks. one of us is outside the space station and one of us is inside the space station. our radios do not work and we have no way of communicating with each other. we might see each other through the lil porthole windows, but we ignore each other because we both have different things to do.
"astronaut time" is how we get total privacy when we live in the same apartment. I will pretend you don't exist. You will pretend I don't exist. we have a nonverbal, zero-contact signal for when astronaut time is over (usually "I'll draw a smiley-face on the whiteboard in the kitchen when I'm done"). No talking, stay out of each other's line of sight, we are actively avoiding each other, unless you are currently experiencing a medical emergency goodbye.
it has been. a godsend. imagine living with your partner and being able to close every single tab in your brain related to social interaction. no fear of being interrupted by a "hey, quick question--" or "sorry to bother you, but do you know where the scissors are?" or "did you want something to eat, too?" Once or twice a month, we look at each other lovingly, hold hands, and say "baby I think I need some astronaut time tonight," and the other person goes "okay cool. bye! have a nice night!" and nobody's feelings are hurt and we both go and have a lovely evening completely by ourselves.
like idk it's a small thing but it's made our lives so much nicer, so if you and your partner/roommate are both people who sometimes need total privacy in order to recharge, maybe try it
I'm the wife in question and I cannot recommend this enough. When I told my therapist about astronaut time, she asked if she could share it with the couples she councils, so even the professionals give it two thumbs up.

hello kaveh fans, alhaitham fans, and kaveh/alhaitham fans!! please take my humble offering
shameless rebagle because i am perpetually thinking about them
i hate when people write kaveh as teary and easily hurt, like yes kaveh is sensitive but he fights back and he gives as good as he gets, he thinks alhaitham is a dick with anger issues and he'll say it to his face! and if alhaitham validated his emotions in a moment of weakness he would cry about it, here's the bit where that happens:
Alhaitham's eyes narrow in what could be interpreted as scorn, but Kaveh knows is curiosity. "I had no idea that the life of an architect was so challenging that a simple renovation would drive one to drink so early in the day."
Kaveh scoffs. "I could have designed that seating plan in my sleep. You think I'd be in this state from something as trivial as that?"
"So, tell me, Light of Kshahrewar," Alhaitham asks, his voice too light to be convincingly mocking, "What's wrong?"
Embarrassingly, Kaveh feels a burning behind his eyes from what is definitely tears. He drops his gaze to the table, pretending to be transfixed by the grains in the wood. It's difficult to see through the haze of the wine. It keeps Alhaitham at the perfect distance, emotionally speaking, detached enough that the routine of bickering and debates feels, well, routine - as opposed to the first time they've spoken since they separated. For his own sake, Kaveh should keep him at that distance.
He just feels so bad. And Alhaitham already knows. Kaveh lifts his gaze to look at him.
Alhaitham's expression is soft and sweet, his eyes gentle at the corners where his lashes are fullest. His mouth is curved into something comforting. And he's watching Kaveh intently in that way of his, trying to catch every detail, like it's just the two of them.
Kaveh sobs, then quickly presses a hand over his mouth. Alhaitham's eyes widen in alarm.
"I'm sorry," Kaveh pleads, "I just- god, I ruined everything ."
Later, if someone asked Kaveh exactly what he'd said to Alhaitham, he wouldn't be able to tell them. Not much, he'd say. I was drunk, I barely remember. This would be a lie. Kaveh will never forget this moment, pouring his life out in front of Alhaitham's watchful eyes.
