Day 2 Of My Sarcastic Snarky Side Personified Speaking The Quotes From My Page-a-day Calendar!!

this is advice I've given friends directly before and I've probably also posted it but I really like giving it so here it is potentially again: do not create something for an imaginary bad faith reader.

there will always be someone who finds fault in your work. there will be people who read the messages on it wrong. there will be people who will take every compelling aspect about your work off of it so they can put in their own.

you cannot make art for these people.

you will never write a story that is free from criticism. you will never draw a piece that everyone finds appealing. you will never compose a song that everyone enjoys hearing. you cannot, fundamentally, set out to create something and only think of how you can avoid someone not liking it.

because, and this is key, there will be someone who sees every angle of your story and feels its intent in their heart and gushes to their friends about it. you will draw someone's favorite art and they will make it their phone wallpaper because they want to see it every day. someone will fall in love with your song and loop it on their way to work because it gets them through the day. and THOSE are the people your work is for. THOSE are the people you have to care about, because they love what you make for what it is - because it's itself.

if you set out to create something and file off every sharp edge, prune every thorn, you will be left with something fragile and weak, and it will be fragile and weak for the sake of someone who does not exist but that you were scared of anyway.

sharing art is complex and tangled and powerful, and anything you care enough to create deserves to flourish as itself. get sillay.

imagine jorge rivera-herrans on tumblr. imagine the shitposting. imagine if he could see all the crazy stuff we post on here. imagine him reblogging the cool art and overall just uplifting our community. imagine him answering our craziest asks. jorge rivera-herrans should totally get tumblr

“My brain is rotting from the Wisdom Saga” has got to be some sort of paradox hasn’t it

In light of recent events with the Ithica Saga stream, I’d like to share this song of encouragement for us all.

Spotify

We'll Be Fine

2024 Wrapped

Jeez I hope this link works the preview keeps showing my wrapped

My mom and I were going to watch the stream together but since it didn’t happen, we started watching the Wisdom Saga stream instead. And when it got to We’ll be Fine, I thought “huh, this is a good message for us right now.” Hope if you see this it gives you some encouragement ❤️ and Happy Holidays!

Days 10 and 11 of my snarky sarcastic side speaking quotes from my page-a-day calendar!!

“Let your dreams go. They might find someone who can accomplish them.”

“Anxiety is just your body’s way of preparing you for all the terrible things about to happen.”

The calendar is taking quotes from the @ unspirational Instagram account by Elan Gale.

I did it! I’m caught up! Not that I was terribly behind. Got the first doodle done in class today and man, someone’s getting owned on the other end 😆

I kind of gave up caring much about making today’s doodle look nice. It’s been a long week and I’m tired and these are mostly for me to relax and scribble, so I’m gonna relax and scribble.

Also as a note she has no idea what she’s talking about where anxiety’s concerned, she’s not the anxious one in my brain xD

I’M WORKING ON IT, I SWEAR—

I keep hearing Thinder Bringer this and Thunder Bringer that but nothing about the BEST SONG IN THIS SAGA, Scylla. Legitimately, let's get some more people talking about Scylla because they killed it on this one.
