the brushes you use for digital art dont Actually matter that much and its more about core art principles and technique or whatever. but maybe this next brush will be the one

Don’t fucking look away from Rafah, don’t look away, if you are willfully looking away then you should be ashamed of yourself.

Fuck the Met Gala, it means nothing but a distraction for those of you who are willingly looking away.

The Palestinians need our attention, they need our support, they need us to witness and remember and help when it is asked for and when we can.

All Eyes on Rafah, All Eyes on Palestine!

"Maturity is realizing that the sadness that brings you closer to Allah is better than the happiness that takes you away from Allah"

If you’re feeling overwhelmed and exhausted because you’re going through hardship, remember that it’s temporary. No matter how painful it is and how hopeless you feel, realize that it will soon pass.

I think one of the worst things a story can be is unproblematic.

Nothing makes a story more unreadable than being able to see the author squirm apologetically for the story they actually want to write—wringing their hands and imploring the reader please, please don’t be mad, I know it’s ideologically questionable but I need you to not be mad at me!

For example: a Good King™️. It’s one thing for a story to present a fictional monarchy and ask me to root for it. It’s another thing for a story to say, hey, I know what you’re thinking—but don’t worry! I can justify this premise! I have introduced a lot of convoluted self-aware political justifications for why my king is good and likable without actually asking any risky ideological questions! These characters aren’t actually problematic! Don’t be mad at me!

Commit to the bit. Apologetic, defensive writing designed to bypass obvious criticisms often winds up offending me far more than stories that are just kind of surface-level problematic. If I’m gonna be a hater you cannot stop me; the more you insist that a character is actually a good oil tycoon because of all these exceptional situations and beyond my reproach, the more I resent you and hate your stupid book.

i wake up and i am immediately thinking about those characters. i eat breakfast and i am thinking about those characters. i do chores and i am thinking about those characters. i do any work, i study, i walk the dogs, and i am thinking about those characters. i go to bed and i am thinking, i have so little time and hell lotta things to paint. HELLLLL

it's okay if your body isn't like others'. there's nothing wrong with you, or your body. you're not broken or insignificant. not all bodies are the same, and that's okay. that's good. you're part of nature's variance - and just look how beautiful nature is.

i am born again each year, another revelation of skin deep; where / i will not allow myself to drift away. i will not allow myself to be expected / anywhere. anyway, / i am proud to be called a grave / a hole which gapes & grabs & does not let go / & does not want to let go / a something which begs to be filled with warmth & / in turn renders you to bone […]
