And here comes the new point-and-click project I'm working on. Do you like Speculative Evolution or a similar world-building project based on alien life? Do you like a game where information about the world plays a significant role in the puzzle clue? This might interest you.

Tumblr post by and-fishing-equipment reading

"in 2026 DO NOT ask yourself whether your art is GOOD

instead ask:

- Is it SINCERE
- is it CATHARTIC
- was it FUN TO MAKE
- is it MADE BY ME

and don't forget to stay silly"

For another, you can just do art and not post it. I do that all the fucking time. I make doodles for my tabletop game, I draw my little avatar guy. Art can be just for you and like four of your weirdest friends.

The purpose of human expression is not Posting.

I can't remember where I found this. To the left is the cover of Pathologic 2, the insane video game. To the right is a stick figure head looking at it. Above the stick figure head is a text bubble with so much text in it that it's unreadable. Above the text bubble is an arch (the idea going over the person's head) that just says "defund community theater."

A polarizing thing for people is that it is just being itself and people either love or hate it for that. The "tumblr sexy man" character designs, color choices, and swearing. People need to discern the flaws they see can also be seen as positives and it's what some can like about Hazbin Hotel.

I want to share some wisdom from my high school art teacher.

In my AP Art class, there was a girl who was just starting to experiment with mixed media. At this point she was still playing around, trying to decide what direction she wanted to go with her portfolio. So one critique day, she brought in an abstract canvas with some rhinestone highlights and painted and real peacock feathers. She loved sparkles and peacock feathers so she thought she’d try introducing them a *little*. And after everyone had given some input, the teacher gave her his advice, VERY roughly paraphrased here:

“So here’s the thing… I do not like this style. These are just elements that do not speak to me personally, but I see that you like them, and you’re doing interesting things with them.

“My biggest critique is, I only merely *dislike* this piece. I want you to make me HATE it. Go crazy with the things that you like. Don’t hold back trying to make it palatable to people like me. Because I am NEVER going to like it. And if the audience does not like it, it should drive them crazy seeing how much YOU love it.”

Her portfolio was chock full of neon colors and glitter and rhinestones and splashes of peacock feathers and it was a delight. Our teacher despised every piece lol, but she got great marks and I think even won some awards. And more importantly, she was happy and proud of the results. Because she didn’t limit herself by trying to appeal to people who were never going to enjoy what she enjoyed.

Takeaway here: be as cringe as you want. Don’t limit yourself based on other ppl’s tastes. They’re not you, and you are incredible 💕
