Unpopular opinion but if you don't enjoy the process you should find a different thing to do.

And I think this is true in general but now I'm talking about it in the context of AI.

If you don't enjoy making art and only care about the end piece and how it'll look and how much traction it"lol get online then making art is not something for you, find something you enjoy from start to finish.

Same goes for writing: if you do not enjoy writing and rewriting and then some more and instead want AI to write for you, being a writer is not something you should pursue.

Sure, not every part of creative process is going to be equally enjoyable but you should get satisfaction from solving the problems along the way and you should get a sense of accomplishment on your way of "making the piece yours" and you should have a sense of ownership once you are done.

None of these things will come from typing in a prompt into chatGPT. And I am sad to see so many people are missing on the opportunity to experience the joy of making something with their own hands and brains.

Just give it a try and if you don't like it don't do it again.

But also don't let the expectations of it coming out perfect ruin the fun you are having while making the thing. Because what if I told you this: having fun while creating is the actual purpose of the creative process, not whatever comes out of it.

I keep thinking about how Caleb used to see himself back in Campaign 2, especially early on. 'I am a disgusting person.' Referring to himself as one of the assholes of the group. Constantly talking about himself as damned, corruptible, somehow inherently flawed just by virtue of being a wizard. Resisting every suggestion from those around him that he was good.

And then I think about how, when Essek described him to strangers, the first word he used was kind.

This morning I am still so proud of Ashton for asking for touch, even if they didn't know how to phrase it. And proud of Fearne for seeing what he wanted and realizing it's what she wanted, too.

That comfort from each other in an explicitly non-sexual manner, which is not something either of them are used to seeking and allowing.

Just "let me hold you while you sleep" and "I'd like to wake up with you".

Haven’t drawn a cat that is meant to be a specific character since my warrior cats phase in the 5th grade so this was interesting

shadowgast kiss meme: hair/head kiss ✨

the key to Essek's peaceful nighttime reading is tiring his young man out with wizardly activities enough for said man to fall asleep in the middle of some cuddly kisses : )

tip jar!

Matt has the opportunity to do the funniest thing ever and have the Bells Hells somehow run into the group of bandits that the Mighty Nein always ran into... on the moon... because honestly? They seem like the type to definitely end up on the moon
