apparently youre supposed to perform. they love it when you perform. but it has to be authentic. they hate it when it's not authentic. but you have to perform.

Get this into your nappy little head. I hate you! More than anything and anyone I have ever known, more than my dad that left me, more than my auntie that whipped me, more than Bruce that stuck it in me, more than the pack of vamps that seduced and burned me! I hate you to the pit of all things.

Residents view the first iceberg of the season as it passes the South Shore, near Ferryland Newfoundland, Canada by Jody Martin

[antique-scarecrow]

it…did not occur to me that icebergs just…pass by people’s houses

[portraitdelajeunefilleenfeu]

i used to live in st. john’s, nl, and, in late spring to early summer, it was not uncommon for a giant iceberg to float slowly by just outside the harbor. they would mention it on the news and radio. they took hours or, sometimes, days to go by. and, when it happened, it would make the whole town colder.. like ice in a glass of water. and, sometimes,… they would groan. as they passed.

also, while i am on the fuckin topic, the reasoning that finally got me to vanquish my imposter syndrome even though objectively i am not the most skilled artist to put it very mildly LMAO

think of all the art by other people that you have ever loved! and think over how often you loved it, not due to the technical execution on display or the foundational expertise, but because it had some element, some verve, some spirit that you liked - some touch of the person who made it that made it resonate with you despite the fact that like all art it had flaws

did you like it any less? NO!!! did the artist still do a rad thing by sharing it with the world? YES!!! does that same grace apply to you, the person reading this who often looks at your art and despairs the same way just about every artist in the world does? YESSSS!!!!!! It is not your perfection that appeals! it is your eye! your You! Like all those other imperfect artists you have ever loved!

The thing about the Witch Hat Atelier world is that the magic system sounds great until you realize it's essentially programming and that sobers you up immediately. Sure, maybe you reach the level of skill needed to draw perfect curves, straight lines, and circles without looking down, but after that you still need to be able to logic out which combination of sigils will actually give you the desired effect, and if you misplace a single line it all goes to shit. Add to that the inclusion of effect-altering inks and you start to understand why Olruggio is Like That.

I wish insomnia at least gave you more usable hours in the day instead of just more hours where you are stupid
