#[ i'm here for a good time ]

[jgnico]

I feel like people expect One Piece fans to be heartbroken if the live action isn't the greatest anime adaptation ever put to screen, but they don't understand that we're just here to have fun. We want it to be goofy. We want it to be kinda ridiculous. We want to have a good time with the characters we love, regardless of general public reception.

Do I understand the plot of Battle of the Writers? No.

Do I care? No.

Men are straddling other men on my screen, and I don't need a plot to enjoy it!

I don't need a reason for any of this happening. All that matters is it is happening.

This is exactly how all Mondays should progress.

Bonus for Taiwan helping out too!

Trying to get this next chapter of REPUTATION finished. In the meantime, I procrastinated in Photoshop. (This is so dated with the grungy filters but I had fun.)

i just went on a softblock spree, like i said in my rules: i'm going to be very picky with who i follow here. i've already seen things in this fandom that make me wildly uncomfortable.

@sonyawix Ask Box Nonsense continues, I'm waiting on support to see why your messages refuse to show up in my inbox.

Also, thank you 🥹 I have so much fun writing Vampire Jasper dealing with shenanigans from human/hybrid/cryptid/angel/[redacted] Alice. He's too old for Shenanigans but also he's nineteen years old and smitten.

I just need a list of different supernatural creatures so I can work my way down to make sure I haven't missed anything with potential 😎 (And I've had some thoughts about Vampire Alice/other creature!Jasper recently, but those are way, way down the list.)

Veteran Alice is a guilty pleasure and utterly insane, so I adore writing her.

Thank you for tolerating my nonsense, also. I know me flinging various versions of Alice Cullen into the void is an acquired taste, and I love that you are having a good time as well!

God I love curating my online experience.

I love blacklisting topics that stress me out or annoy me.

I love not answering and deleting mean messages from my inbox.

I love blocking people who are cruel or even just bother me a little.

I'm not here for some misplaced moral duty, I'm here for MEMES and FRIENDS and PICTURES OF CATS.

I’m coming out: I want to see Avatar 2 in theatres and I’m not ashamed.

Why is it when i try to find a recap for any of the acotar books they’re all done by people who HATE the books??? like the recap is just them making fun of what’s happening and i can’t stand it!

Because it's cool to hate on sjm, which is super annoying. While there are legit criticisms to be made (goodness knows I can go on a rant) people get a lot of attention when they do it. Dodging the anti stuff is harder in the past year too, imo.

hey! there's zero esims left for the connecting gaza campaign as of today. i remember you promoting them earlier. could you give them a much needed boost?

oh dang! unfamiliar with that particular campaign, as I always donate via crips for e-sims because it's super easy to do, but regardless let's go people!

Part of the reason that Republicans are so desperately acting like they will never lose again is because they are deeply terrified that this is their last real chance to win. The big orange dipshit came in and gutted the party of everyone who wasn't a loyalist, which left it full of nasty little gremlins who have gaping voids where charisma and human decency is supposed to go.

They still hold a lot of power, but if we stop them this year the next presidential election may not be the Most Important One Of Your Life™, that's not a guarantee or anything, but if they don't win here and now their future looks grim, this dipshit is the only guy they have left and he's extremely diminished and has his brains leaking out of his ears at this point. We can beat him into the ground.

So that's what we're gonna fucking do. We're gonna break these fucking fash. They will crash upon us and we're gonna break their fucking necks. When they come for us they will lose because they're fucking losers and we have each other's backs which is something they fundamentally are incapable of comprehending.

buckle up lads we're going BACK INTO THE BOOK

[inkskinned]

at some point it's just like. do they even fucking like the thing they're asking AI to make? "oh we'll just use AI for all the scripts" "we'll just use AI for art" "no worries AI can write this book" "oh, AI could easily design this"

like... it's so clear they've never stood in the middle of an art museum and felt like crying, looking at a piece that somehow cuts into your marrow even though the artist and you are separated by space and time. they've never looked at a poem - once, twice, three times - just because the words feel like a fired gun, something too-close, clanging behind your eyes. they've never gotten to the end of the movie and had to arrive, blinking, back into their body, laughing a little because they were holding their breath without realizing.

"oh AI can mimic style" "AI can mimic emotion" "AI can mimic you and your job is almost gone, kid."

... how do i explain to you - you can make AI that does a perfect job of imitating me. you could disseminate it through the entire world and make so much money, using my works and my ideas and my everything.

and i'd still keep writing.

i don't know there's a word for it. in high school, we become aware that the way we feel about our artform is a cliche - it's like breathing. over and over, artists all feel the same thing. "i write because i need to" and "my music is how i speak" and "i make art because it's either that or i stop existing." it is such a common experience, the violence and immediacy we mean behind it is like breathing to me - comes out like a useless understatement. it's a cliche because we all feel it, not because the experience isn't actually persistent. so many of us have this ... fluttering urgency behind our ribs.

i'm not doing it for the money. for a star on the ground in some city i've never visited. i am doing it because when i was seven i started taking notebooks with me on walks. i am doing it because in second grade i wrote a poem and stood up in front of my whole class to read it out while i shook with nerves. i am doing it because i spent high school scribbling all my feelings down. i am doing it for the 16 year old me and the 18 year old me and the today-me, how we can never put the pen down. you can take me down to a subatomic layer, eviscerate me - and never find the source of it; it is of me. when i was 19 i named this blog inkskinned because i was dramatic and lonely and it felt like the only thing that was actually permanently-true about me was that this is what is inside of me, that the words come up over everything, coat everything, bloom their little twilight arias into every nook and corner and alley

"we're gonna replace you". that is okay. you think that i am writing to fill a space. that someone said JOB OPENING: Writer Needed, and i wrote to answer. you think one raindrop replaces another, and i think they're both just falling. you think art has a place, that is simply arrives on walls when it is needed, that is only ever on demand, perfect, easily requested. you see "audience spending" and "marketability" and "multi-line merch opportunity"

and i see a kid drowning. i am writing to make her a boat. i am writing because what used to be a river raft has long become a fully-rigged ship. i am writing because you can fucking rip this out of my cold dead clammy hands and i will still come back as a ghost and i will still be penning poems about it.

it isn't even love. the word we use the most i think is "passion". devotion, obsession, necessity. my favorite little fact about the magic of artists - "abracadabra" means i create as i speak. we make because it sluices out of us. because we look down and our hands are somehow already busy. because it was the first thing we knew and it is our backbone and heartbreak and everything. because we have given up well-paying jobs and a "real life" and the approval of our parents. we create because - the cliche again. it's like breathing. we create because we must.

you create because you're greedy.
