i love pitting classically trained magic users against self-taught magic users in sci-fi/fantasy but it shouldn’t be snobbish disdain for them it should be terror

You’re going to die unfinished.

You can’t help that. Just how it works. You’ll always have something you meant to say, or do, or make. Somewhere you wanted to visit. Something you wanted to try. You’re going to die with books unread, countries unseen, foods untasted. The world’s too big for this not to be true.

You’re going to die unfinished. The trick is to die happy anyway. To drink in everything you have space for while you’re here. Churn out all the art you have stomach for while your heart still beats. Kiss your loved ones, hug your pets, walk as many roads as your shoes can manage before they fall apart.

You’re going to die unfinished. Write the story so you don’t die unsatisfied. Write it so you die full, if not ever complete.

This is now my comfort image. I'm going to print it out and put a copy in both my studio and office.

My entire life is this plan "will take decades of work, powered by ... myself as the art-scientist... in a drafty/cold/cozy studio... powered by dump trucks of flaming grant money!"

(laugh)

I'm so happy to have stumbled across this meme again.

i had a 4 hour drive today so i put on the revenge of the sith audiobook and the part where palpatine tells anakin to kill dooku came on right around the time that i saw a cybertruck and for a brief and beautiful moment when he said "do it" i had the urge to ram my honda full on into that shitty ass car

one of the most challenging skills i've had to learn as an adult is the art of figuring out whether i'm proportionally annoyed with someone or just tired and overstimulated and looking for reasons to be pissed off
