I drew a massive fuckign boi recently and decided it was a good enough thing to not only post but also to celebrate the one year anniversary of Catradora becoming canon, the end of season 5 of she-ra and the princesses of power, one of the most conforting and wonderful shows that ahve watched. That was a really long sentence, whoops. Anyway, thank you.

how to generate creative ideas:
(i need to get this out of my brain)
Make moodboards, playlists, keep a list of people who inspire you. Before starting a project think about the general vibe you want it to embody. Ask questions like āWhat would this concept sound like if it was a song?ā ,āWhat would this concept be like if it was a person?ā. Create a shirt that looks like a building you like (yes i did that once), literally anything can be combined.
Take unrelated things or concepts and mix them together. Letās take Addams Family as an example. āWhat if it was a story about a typical suburban familyā¦but GOTH!ā. It basically flips everything upside down. Or āWhat outfit would someone wear, whoās personality is the mix of the vibes of these two songs?ā Random word generators are amazing for this if you donāt know where to start from.
Try making something truly BAD and then add a twist to it. Itās a great way for your brain to let go of expectations and then think outside of the box. But you can also use this to find out what you do not wanna do under any circumstances.
Think without worrying about the limits of what you can do and when itās time for excecution, find a way around whatās impossible. It births more creativity and adds uniqueness.
Consider what your idea is NOT before considering what it is. Limits are the best way to avoid getting overwhelmed and giving up. Donāt ALWAYS do this though (unless you wannaā¦), itās just something to try out when you feel like youāre seeing too many possibilities to the point that theyāre contracting each other. Unless your goal is to make something full of contradictions, youāre a Free Man, do whatever you want.
Keep a list of random ideas you have throughout the day in your notes app or something and then at some point actually review them. Keep what you think is worth exploring and then act on it.
Find out how something works very throughoutly so you know which aspect can be changed to create something new.
Take a concept and break it down into smaller concepts, ideas, questions, key elements and then also break those ideas down etc. This will naturally lead to associations, unique ideas you wouldnāt think of without doing this. I found that this is a great way of coming up with metaphors.
This one is similar to the last two: take a piece of art you really love and try to find out the thought process behind. Whatās the story, where did the artist get inspiration from, how did they incorporate those ideas in their work. How did an artist combine their personal interests and knowledge into one big thing. For example: Tolkien was an erudite linguist, so much so that he created entire functional languages in his work, such as Elvish in Lord of the Rings. Hirohiko Araki loves 80ās music so much he named characters in Jojoās Bizarre Adventure after music references. This is why no knowledge is useless knowledge.
Think about the times youāve been the most creative before. What were the specific circumstances? For me my best ideas always come when I have a strict deadline for something unrelated, like school (which Iām way too willing to sacrifice), or when Iām doing something mindless like walking and listening to music, or playing a game that requires no thinking. Most of the time after 10p.m. This doesnāt mean I canāt āforceā myself to be creative (tips above), it just means these are the times ideas come most naturally. For some people this might be being out in nature or experiencing high emotions, maybe having their life on the line idk, to each their own.
You canāt just create. You also need to consume. The more information you absorb, the more possibilities you have with your ideas. So if youāre not feeling that creative, thatās fine, itās the perfect opportunity to learn something new.
If you donāt already do these things and youāre looking to get more creative my advice is to ACTUALLY TRY THESE OUT. Youāll best understand them in action.

all my organs are continuously exploding 24/7. every day when i get home i love nothing more than to pull all my eyelashes out as quickly as possible
thats so cool and hardcore i love it. all my organs are gently humming in perfect harmony and every day when i get home i grow another eyelash <3
one day we shall meet. and upon this occasion i shall put my hand to yours. and when this happens our bodies will annihilate one another perfectly. and release energy equivalent to that of a medium sized nuclear explosion. scorching and burning all that is dear to the world in our vicinity.
and it will be perfectly silent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ššš„°ššššššāØ

i have a question for the fic writers on this app! i really want to start writing my own! i have so many ideas but the second i open up a doc i just seem to lose it all & have a hard time getting started. if that makes sense? i wanna know if any of you have any tips to like get started or even any tips regarding writers block!
thanks in advance! i really appreciate any advice at all!
Here are some of my tips when it comes to things I do when I want to write but looking at a blank, empty white page makes me stressed: Paper and Pencil/Pen I love, when I canāt decide what to write on the digital screen, writing on a piece of printer paper with a golf pencil or any writing instrument (Had to use a golf pencil in the hospital whoops-) really helped me get something going. I tend to notice I write way better when ahm writing on printer paper or some other temporary, easily disposable piece of writing media. I like flashcards too, sometimes little notepads, things like that. Writing Style Analyzers This oneās kinda weird but I really notice my creative juices really start to flow if I write in a small, cramped box. That one website, I Write Like, has a tiny box that you write in and once you submit it, boom, gone. I always copy the writing after ahve finished it and paste it somewhere else for safekeeping though. I also notice it helps me write out a longer story if I write in instagram direct messages. Thereās a 1000 character limit or something like that and it really helps me make longer, yet short and concise stories in record time. I notice that the temporary or small, limited characters formatting helps me immensely with writing out longer works that donāt need to be too long or too involved. Itās really helpful in that regard. List it out When I get a bunch of ideas, I try and find some way to list them all out somewhere. I have a bunch of notes on my phone of just bulleted lists with the main ideas I had for stories with a general theme. I use them sometimes to expand them out so I have something to write about sometime when ahm bored. I like to just scrawl down some notes on the different ideas I had. For example, things likeĀ āDragon only steals women/girls but ends up stealing someone who didnāt know they were a trans woman until after the dragon told them that they only steal women/girlsā orĀ āUmbrella that, when it gets wet, makes a pleasant sound and sings a soothing songā or other things like that. Voice Recordings As someone whoās attempting to be a storyteller and/or comedian, I find that telling stories to a voice recorder is really helpful. I use my own separate voice recorder, not my phone, to record my stories and things. I like to also practice stand-up skits or things like that to it too but thatās another story for another day. Conclusion Overall, I really like to write on temporary, easily disposable papers or sticky notes or things like that when I have ideas and want to write stories down. I donāt tend to struggle from writerās block per se because I can easily just make up my own writing prompts from literally anything (A single letter, a string of numbers, an isolated word, a collection of unrelated words, a keysmash, song lyrics, a poem, you name it, I can make a story out of it). I do, however, struggle from not having the drive to actually start writing. So if you have ideas, scrawl them out on a list, talk it into a recorder, scribble it on a notepad or a piece of paper or a flashcard or w/e else you can find. I find it all really helpful to do anything I can to get an idea down or out of my head. Have fun with it all though! Thatās the key to all of this.

Now on some good news
Artstation protest against allowing AI-generated art on the platform, which took form of artists flooding the site with pictures saying NO AI ART, has utterly fucked up AI Art generators that were sampling art trending on artstation without permission. Thus proving that all these generators do indeed steal artwork.
-Admin
THIS IS FAKE.
This is literally the AI bros trolling people who are against AI and everybody is falling for it.
The current popular models of AI are absolutely a problem because theyāre trained on unethically sourced data! But that data is not sampled live. That is, the data theyāre trained on is already scraped. Doing this is more of a protest towards the hosting service to say āhey, fuck you, we make you money by drawing in users who subscribe and/or view ads (as the case may be, per service), and weāre gonna drive them away by making THIS all they find from us unless you stop fucking over your artists!ā than it is a means of actually fucking with the AI art generators.
Like, yeah, it would be hilariousāI would love to see it fuck with them. But thatās not how theyāre working as of now.
And the AI bros are 100% using this to go ālol look, see, these artists donāt know ANYTHING about how AI works! All their fears are based on lies and fearmongering and not any actual substance! None of their protests need to be taken seriously because they donāt know what theyāre talking about!ā
Thatās, like, their goalāmake artists look like ignorant idiots who are just afraid of change instead of people who have actual, valid fears. Thatās where the trolling part comes in. I mean, artists do very much have valid concerns. But falling for this is not an āownā to the AI bros because ālol theyāre admitting their stuff is all stolenā, it instead comes off more as ālol look at the technophobes whoāre mad about lies they made up lololololā.
So yeah. This would be hilarious to see happen, but these tweets are not actually legitimate. Theyāre trolling everyone.
tumblr users all of a sudden: oh yeah this website is SO good for art hehehe itās waaayyyy better than twitter itās so supportive of artists we love art so much here uwu art for the win!! āØ š š šāØ artists who have spent the last 4+ years on their hands and knees begging people to reblog their art just to be ignored every single time because half this website acts like their nuts will be ripped off with the claw end of a hammer if they reblog a single drawing:
reblogging because iāve been watching artists moving here to tumblr all night and i better not catch yāall lying again
itās so weird that i never heard anybody talk about this, butā¦ one of the things you will notice when you start recovering is that your old coping mechanisms will stop working. they might even start hurting. which is absolutely scary, and you might even find yourself being nostalgic for worse times when you could still give into those impulses and feel the pain ease off for a while. but they stop working because you are healing. take a deep breath. see how far youāve come. youāll go much further yet. be proud of yourself.
Mother Whale's Funeral
It always upsets me so much when I see interpretations/illustrations of the two headed calf poem that show a living calf being torn away from its mother and killed to sell to a museum and framing the poem as being "humanity kills beautiful things for being different".
Two headed cows almost never survive more than a few hours after their birth. The farmer finds the *body* the next day. The calf was destined to die, and that's a tragedy, but for the time it was alive, it had a beautiful and unique experience.
It's not a poem about the cruelty of man. It's a poem about the beauty of life in an indifferent universe. It's about purpose and beauty being able to exist even in an existence doomed to come to an end, as all our lives are. It's not a poem about how a calf dies, but how, even for only a brief moment, it was alive.
And, for that moment, because of that life, however fleeting, the sky had twice as many stars.
PSA to New Tumblr Users
DON'T CENSOR YOUR TAGS. DON'T.
Write out 'Suicide' Write out 'Rape' Write out 'Abuse' & 'Assault' & 'Gore'
If you don't use the real words in your tags? People won't be able to filter those out and stay SAFE.
You need to tag properly to keep everyone safe.
Don't water down warnings just because social media has trained you to water them down.
