You need to give yourself the permission that it's okay to make utterly god awful art.

Till your last breath you will still make awful pieces here and there, regardless if your a hobbyst or seasoned pro.

Start now, have fun and see what ya can make vs sitting on the sidelines of "what if"

Anyway. There's nothing you can do to guarantee other people will like or care about your work. But if you don't share it then it definitely won't reach the people who will love it, so post anyway

This will forever be my favorite way to explain why I don’t get competitive as an artist.
A two part comic in a top and bottom panel. The top is labeled “The Artist” with a stick figure placing a single tier cake on a table next to a much more elaborate two tier cake. They say “Aw man, that guy’s cake is way better than mine. The lower panel is labeled “The Audience” with a different stick figure looks excited standing in front of the same table holding a knife and fork in the air and says “Holy shit! Two cakes!”

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have shown Alzheimer’s disease can be REVERSED- not just prevented. Using a potent neuroprotective compound called P7C3-A20, they found RESTORING balance to a central cellular energy molecule (NAD+) not only PREVENTED disease features but REVERSED them, EVEN at late stages.

Happy Starlight everyone!! 😁😁🎄🌟🎄🌟🎄🌟🫂🫂🫂 Here are the recipes for the 3 kinderpunsch varieties. 🤗🤗🥰🥰🎄🌟🎄🌟💖💕🍊🌟🍎🌟🍊🎄🌟🍎🎄🍊🌟🍎🎄🌟
#ffxiv #cooking #starlight #kinderpunsch #christmas
☕🧈🎄🌟Ul'dah starlight kinderpunsch🌟🎄🧈☕ Ingredients: 1 gallon water 1.5 cup sugar 1 cup of evaporated milk Black tea bags (I used Celestial Seasonings: gingerbread spice (2), nutcracker sweet (2), & a few generic black tea bags (4) 1/2 stick of salted butter Spices: 2 cinnamon sticks, A handful of star anise, and about a tablespoon of allspice. **Secret ingredient: 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract & 1/2 teaspoon of almond extract. Instructions: 1.) In a tall stock pot filled about a fourth full of water add the tea bags and allow to simmer on medium high heat till a very strong tea is brewed (5 -10 min) (try to avoid boiling). Once the tea is good and strong remove the tea bags and squeeze all the excess liquid back into the pot. 2.) add the sugar and stir in until it dissolves **You can actually do this while the tea is brewing to save time. 3.) add half a stick of salted butter (It is helpful to cut it up into smaller hunks so it melts faster but it doesn't really matter) 4.) add the spices: cinnamon, star anise, & and allspice. 5.) add enough water to bring it up to volume (I think I made roughly a gallon...) 6.) while the mixture is a little cooler from adding the water, add a cup of evaporated milk and stir in. 7.) allow to simmer for about 30 minutes minimum The longer you let it simmer on low the more *kick* the spices will have... 8.) **add the secret ingredient... About a half teaspoon each of vanilla extract and almond extract. I add it at this step because I think the flavors cook off if you add them too early in the process... Good luck and I hope you enjoy it!!🤗🥰😁👍💕 🎄🍎🌟 Gridanian Starlight Kinderpunsch 🌟🍎🎄 Ingredients: 4 Celestial Seasonings Sugar cookie sleigh ride tea bags 2 large apples (sliced & de-seeded) 1.5 cups of fresh cranberries 3 cups sour cherry juice 1 cup muscadine juice *secret ingredient* 1.5 cups sugar 2 cinnamon sticks 1 tbsp cloves (use a mesh tea ball) Instructions: 1.) fill large stock pot about 1/4 full of water set medium high to brew the 4 tea bags and brew until the tea is good & strong then remove the tea bags. *Tips: slice the apples while the tea is brewing & Slice the apples laterally so that you can see the star in the middle at the core where the seeds are* 2.) dissolve the sugar into the hot tea. 3.) add all the other ingredients and spices. 4.) add enough water to almost fill the stock pot and then allow to simmer for 30 minutes minimum, longer is better if you want the spices to have more kick. 5.) after 30 minutes or once the apples and cranberries are cooked through and soft, strain out the solid ingredients from the punch *If you want you can mash the apples and cranberries to eat or make into a pie (They would be very good with butter and brown sugar🤤)* 6.) Taste test to see if it needs any more sugar or a little more cherry juice or muscadine juice. It should be a deep reddish color and somewhat opaque. Serve hot or cold and enjoy 😋🎄🌟🍎 🌟🎄🍊 Lominsan Starlight Kinderpunsch🍊🎄🌟 Ingredients: 2 bags Celestial Seasonings Sugar cookie sleigh ride tea 2 bags Constant Comment tea 1.5 ~2 cups sugar...(to taste) 1 can frozen lemonade 1 can frozen orange juice (with pulp is best) 2 large oranges or 4 small oranges (sliced) 1 lemon (sliced) 1 lime (sliced) 2 cups black seedless grapes (sliced in half) 2 cinnamon sticks 1 tbsp of cloves 1 tbsp of allspice *A few sprigs of fresh mint leaves (If possible) **Secret ingredient** 2 tbsp honey (or to taste) Instructions: 1.) In a large stock pot filled 1/4 with water, at medium high heat (but try to avoid letting it boil), steep the tea bags until the tea is good and strong (5~10 min). 2.) Dissolve sugar into the hot tea. Reduce heat to The low side of medium. 3.) Add the frozen lemonade and frozen orange juice mix and make sure they melt and are incorporated into the hot tea. 4.) Add in all the fruit and spices. The citrus fruits should be sliced somewhat thinly and laterally, The grapes sliced once longitudinally. And the spices can be added directly into the pot (No need for a mesh Tea ball in this recipe). Don't forget the mint . 5.) Add enough water to bring the pot up to the desired volume. (It's important to add water after all the ingredients are added to keep the pot from overflowing.) 6.) Let the punch simmer on medium low for about 30 minutes... Though if you let it go a bit longer the flavors will be stronger. 7.) Use a mesh strainer to scoop out all of the fruit and spices from the punch and discard (or move into a simmer pot on a back eye to make the house smell good). 8.) Once everything is scooped out, taste test and add in the secret ingredient (local honey is best) The citrus peels can make it a bit bitter... but the honey will help balance the bitterness. It will also add a little body to the punch. 9.) Serve and enjoy. It looks very nice with an orange slice floating in the teacup. 😁🍊🎄🌟

Tumblr user nocryptographer: I talked with someone who works in book publishing, and they mentioned they get a lot of AI slop these days. I asked how they know what's human-written, and they said that there's one thing that will reveal AI slop without error, and that's the author not knowing their own creation. A real author can talk about their story for hours. They love to elaborate every character, every twist, every detail. Because those existed in their head long before they ever made it to the paper. They were loved before they were written. AI slop wasn't. It was just vomited into existence. Someone who generates their story with AI will never bond with their story the way real writers do. That's why they may not know what to say when they're asked why did the character do this, or even remember the scene in the first place. It's something they read, not something they wrote. And to a writer, those are not the same. There's a unique bond between the creator and the creation. If your writing doesn't come of you, you'll always lack that. I keep hearing soon we won't be able to tell. And perhaps, in a superficial sense, that's true. But there is a difference. It's not em dashes or repeated words. It's whether the story was made by someone who loves it and cares about it. If the writer's eyes light up when asked why did the character do that? and they start their very own Ted Talk about that specific scene... then it's real.

Looking at this makes me a bit sad because I made my own awesome Jedi costume. It's long since put away in my sewing room because I don't want to think about Star Wars ever again.

At least I can appreciate the hard work I put into making the outfit.

Kind of jack of all trades: with art, fics, and fiber arts (knitting/costumes)

Fics: archiveofourown.org/users/kiapur... (standing at count of 16 for FFXIV)

I normally tag my art as #kiaart, #ffxivart, #kiacrafts

Five other FFXIV themed costumes made with some 3d printed props!
Last Azemet art piece I did on my ipad. I rather liked how this piece turned out with Azem's transformed form reaching through a memory of destruction with Emet-Selch (Solus) holding her hand to his face. The first few lines of Unbroken Wings (unsundered Azem AU). Text: One moment ago, the sky was dark with everything burning from the star shower spewing debris across the surface, wrecking buildings as concepts transformed and went on rampage. A woman had dared to break through the destruction as the first primals warred above. She flew past the god-like beings, focused on seeking the singer that was at the very end of the universe and yet– The next moment, the woman startled herself awake. She was lying in a forest, surrounded by colorful flowers that had sprouted around her body. She sat up, looking reasonably bewildered by the fact that the sky was blue with nary any fiery rocks streaking through the sky. Then her head throbbed with a dull ache. There was something she was forgetting but what? There were obvious gaps in her memory but there was nothing to be done about it. She stood up, patting down her dark gray robes to get dirt off. “Right, time to go home!” She attempted to teleport only to feel the magicks fail her in that moment. Her face pinched with concern at not being able to feel any of the aetherytes from her own home. She quietly cursed and resigned herself to having to hoof it. Mayhaps they were down for repairs or something silly, who knew with the bureaucrats who loved to generate insane paperwork for just about everything under the sky! Or if the Convocation did something equally silly. Shite. The Convocation! She was going to get censured for being away from her duty. She sighed, muttering to herself. “That’s going to be the fifth censure this week. Oh well.” my knitted FFXIV PLD hat in light blue and blue lying on top of an Emet-Selch daki (yes I have several covers and I have no shame) An Urianger AST costume created for a friend which did not get to him in time due to a post office mishap with me trying to reuse a box unknowingly that the box itself had shitty tape on it. :( The outfit was returned to me and I made the repairs and mailed in a different box. Deeply disappointed that my hardwork did not get to my friend on time and I have no one to blame but myself.
