if you dont decouple your drive to create from your desire for attention you will go insane. simple as. you will never feel satisfied b/c you will always want more and you will feel perpetually bitter that you did not get what you are “owed”

[sinsbymanka]

It’s an unpopular opinion but it is absolutely and completely true. I’ve never seen someone who creates for engagement happy with the engagement they get. I posit they can’t ever be happy that way because it will NEVER be enough

[thevikingwoman]

I agree with OP and Manka so very much.

You have to rest in your own desire to create.

But, because I see statements like this turn into a sort of general notion of “it’s bad to want validation or attention or engagement”, and to me, that’s not what this means.

It’s perfectly valid to want people to like and engage with what you create. In a general sense, when you create anything, you do it to share with other human beings. Art, craft, food, anything you create is a way to connect with others through our shared humanity.

And wanting someone to like you fanart or read your fanfic is part of that.

the words used by OP is decouple, and this is important. Nothing wrong wanting engagement. But it cannot be tightly coupled with the drive to create.

I booted my old laptop to find a file and was once again dealt immediate psychic damage by my desktop wallpaper

I open this thing just infrequently enough that it catches me woefully off guard every single fucking time

[putnamspuppeteer]

OP do you still have the original image. Would you be willing to share it.

[spyglassrealms]

but of course.

I learned recently that Simon is actually from Mars, and I just knew Ryland would become the BIGGEST fucking nerd about that if he found out. Meanwhile Simon is sitting there wildly confused at how Grace doesn’t know that humans colonized Mars?? Like a while ago??? Grace aren’t you a scientist??? (They still haven’t figured out they’re from different timelines yet)

The rocky horror is really problematic.

The Rocky Horror Picture Show is absolutely fascinating. The history surrounding it, what it was trying to do, the fact its become a cult classic. I'm honestly not sure why you sent me this. If you don't like what I reblog you do not have to follow me. I'm writing about Rocky Horror right now, specifically about how gender is performed in the movie (and how queer gender is) and the messages its conveying. Aside from anything else (such as how culturally significant that movie is, especially to the queer community) people really should remember that Rocky Horror is satire - that makes it super informative. You see the queer coded classic horror villian was prevelant, thats why Frankie is queer. The idea of frankenstien creating the monster out of some form of homosexual desire had been discussed in literature for a couple of decades. The horror movie villian as a threat to traditional heterosexual cisgender norms was also well discussed. Rocky Horror was poking fun at all of that. And boy the way they did it is so interesting, with more classic rock for the 'normative' characters and glam rock for all the queer/non-normative ones creating this dissonance between tradition and contemporary? Even the costuming taking some hints of the 50s for Brad and Janet, while being solidly 70s and very queer for Frankie? I'm enjoying writing about it and theres a lot to talk about. Sadly I wont get to talk about music in my essay but I wanted to mention it because its actually a really cool concept. So yeah thanks for giving me an excuse to ramble about how cool I think this movie is even tho you wanted the opposite.

"who said that" is a powerful spell that casts a defensive bubble around your most vulnerable thoughts

[thedevilsfamiliar]

I’m actually so disappointed in myself

I was scrolling through this Facebook group I’m in and one of the memes stands out. I stare at it, I’m not even reading the funny words. I recognize it, deep in my soul.

Immediately, I scour the web (I go to internet archives) and look up what I believe to be the true origins— I look up “Unus Annus”. Episode 2: Cooking with Sex Toys.

And… it’s there.

Everything within me settles. I knew I’d recognize it. I knew it. It’s Ethan making eggs with a vibrator.
