ever since I was a young lad I knew I wanted to be a middle-aged man with an undone tie around his neck who’s having a crisis so he goes to the bathroom to splash water on his face only to look up at himself in the mirror and wonder at the stranger looking back

I wonder if the idea behind the term "Roaring" is that of a more intense version of the adjective "Yawning."

i think the key difference between george lucas's star wars and disney's star wars is that lucas is a man with an ideology. someone with a point of view, and all that entails. which comes with ideas of revolution, anti-imperialism, challenging the status quo, cultural appropriation and racist stereotypes. complex and contradictory ideas because that's how artists are: complex and complicated people. disney is not. disney is a corporation. a corporation can't have ideology, because ideology defeats the purpose of profit. and when the only thing you do is to turn on the movie manufacturing machine before you sit down and plan what ideas are you trying to convey to the audience, then your results are going to be washed out corporate garbage. and because when you're a giant corporation who only cares about selling to the widest audience possible, you can't take sides. you can't decide on an idea. because you want to sell your product to people who are on the entire political spectrum. which results in movies without ideology, without purpose, without soul.

if the objective of a work of art is to invoke a strong reaction, positive OR negative, and it successfully invokes that reaction, then it succeeded as art. art doesn't have to exist as something to be enjoyed; it can just be something to think about and process

Thoughts on how the Floating Illusion Doll's description says that "if you take her on quests, make sure she doesn't take your items!" and how that might relate back to the Illudora break-up? 👀

im pretty sure thats a reference to how she accepts items for her quests so she may think youre doing a quest for her and take them but its really funny to imagine she was just out there taking jhudora's things thinking theyre for her LOLOL

the problem with "I need to criticise myself to prepare for other people criticising me" is that it fails to account for the possibilities that a) nobody will criticise you, or b) the people who do criticise you are not people you value the opinions of anyway. I know it feels like a good defence mechanism, but at the end of the day there is a high chance that you're just being mean to yourself for no reason. consider this

Nomitkon, Tajikistan — I’d never seen a bread eating cat before.  But this cat loved bread. He would practically sit down at the table and wait to be served.  The owners would throw him a few pieces and then throw him out of the house, but he would soon sneak back in and continue looking longingly at the loaves.
