"Stop saying 15 year olds with weird interests are cringe, they're 15" this is true however you should also stop saying adults with weird interests are cringe because who gives a shit

I want to share some wisdom from my high school art teacher.

In my AP Art class, there was a girl who was just starting to experiment with mixed media. At this point she was still playing around, trying to decide what direction she wanted to go with her portfolio. So one critique day, she brought in an abstract canvas with some rhinestone highlights and painted and real peacock feathers. She loved sparkles and peacock feathers so she thought she’d try introducing them a *little*. And after everyone had given some input, the teacher gave her his advice, VERY roughly paraphrased here:

“So here’s the thing… I do not like this style. These are just elements that do not speak to me personally, but I see that you like them, and you’re doing interesting things with them.

“My biggest critique is, I only merely *dislike* this piece. I want you to make me HATE it. Go crazy with the things that you like. Don’t hold back trying to make it palatable to people like me. Because I am NEVER going to like it. And if the audience does not like it, it should drive them crazy seeing how much YOU love it.”

Her portfolio was chock full of neon colors and glitter and rhinestones and splashes of peacock feathers and it was a delight. Our teacher despised every piece lol, but she got great marks and I think even won some awards. And more importantly, she was happy and proud of the results. Because she didn’t limit herself by trying to appeal to people who were never going to enjoy what she enjoyed.

Takeaway here: be as cringe as you want. Don’t limit yourself based on other ppl’s tastes. They’re not you, and you are incredible 💕

They say it takes 7 compliments to change your mood as much as a single insult, and that insults are way easier to remember. Negativity bias is fucked up, so Escet is here to cast a spell on you.

If you stay up late to hang out with friends I don’t think you should have to be tired in the morning. I think it should be a freebie

Cool math fact! A staggered rectangular grid, like those in brick bonding, is like a hexagonal grid, with each brick adjacent to 6 other bricks.

This means that, mathematically speaking, you could play a game of Lancer on a brick wall!

Was gonna ask if anything meaningfully chances when people use "wild verband" and other tricks People use to hide the repeat pattern some more

But this led to 2 discoveries

Simply swapping the language on the Wikipedia page for these gives you quite a lot of different techniques, which is a cool way to visualise the different building styles used in countries, without being an explicit deep dive, just by seeing what they consider the default to put on wikipedia

Brickwork - Wikipedia

Second, is the ttrpg consequences of this.

People have developed a lot of ways to basically fill in any shape we need with bricks, but it you use any of these for a less standard battle map, then it would be a perfect visualization of "difficult terrain"

Instead of needing to count any movement double, just fill that area up with twice as many bricks/tiles

It leads to more intuitive movement, and can create some weird landscape, where moving along the normal flow/paths is faster while going off it slows you down, without extra rules

(of course it makes targeting and aoe messier, but those could be purely distance based)

Fun fact. Nothing can stop you from finding the oldest art your friend has ever made on their blog and reblogging it.

You have to let people love you. You have to let people get to know you. You have to let people help you. Being so completely selfless that you try to erase yourself off the face of the planet and never ask for anything and reject everybody's offers of support makes you very hard to love! Unfortunately. Emptying yourself out of everything that makes you, you is not actually what your loved ones want from you, generally. They want to make you happy! They will be so so sad if you don't give them the chance. It's not all selfish. I promise.
