Geppetto: What is this? What kind of sorcery? Pinocchio: You wanted me to live. You asked for me to live. Geppetto: Who are you? Pinocchio: My name is Pinocchio! I'm your son!

Day 2: Book

i want to be a real boy, said the puppet to the fairy. i am too loud and too wooden. i cannot understand the softness of their skin.

when i lie, my nose grows. when i am lied to, nothing happens to them at all. they smile. their eyes shine, wet with salt-water. my wrists are bound with string, my ankles are threaded with wire.

when i open my mouth, out comes a scream, as a felled tree, bleeding sap. i've shattered the windows and bent the door.

i've broken my father's heart.

have i not given all i had within me to give? did i not shave myself hollow to offer a handful of wood chips and sawdust to anyone who would smile at me? my walls are thin, by now, and my voice is a haunting within my own head. when the sun is strong enough, it shines right through me.

as though i was made of glass, like the fine porcelain dolls in their fine silk dresses and their fine leather shoes. those chubby-red cheeks, polished to the noblest of shines.

smooth as aged pebbles, they do not hurt the palms that hold them unless dropped.

i have taken sandpaper to the high points of me. the rough, first, no matter how it hurt to hold it. no matter the mess. my father taught me well. i will not splinter if you touch me.

i will not lie. i will dance the dance, i will drink the drink, i will breathe only when i am told. i will sink this pining body into the sea. for my father, i will rot.

only make me soft. give me lungs and a beating, bleeding heart.

make me right, said the puppet to the fairy, make me whole.

silly little heartwood, said the fairy to the puppet, you are real. how else would you cry? there is nothing wrong with you.

Did you ever have a wooden railway toy growing up? I'm not sure where mine went but I loved it.

I'm definitely buying myself a wooden train set when I have the money.

Do you ever miss your own passion?

I was listening to an Alex Hirsch interview while getting some work done, and all I could think was, "Damn, I wish I was like this guy, I wish I still had that passion for art."

I miss being in college, and liking what i was doing so much that I could only see myself doing that for the rest of my life. Deep down, I know I still have that passion- I still enjoy creating things. If I didn't, I wouldn't be having these thoughts. But still, when I look at my favorite artists, friends, and ex-classmates, they all seem to have something I'm lacking and I'm not sure what it is.

am I just not as creative as I used to think I was?

Concerned Teacher: You, um sir, *gestures vaguely to sooty crusted magic arm* are you always like that with your arm?

Kelmp: No. But it goes away most of the time. Thank you for asking. 😊

Be who you are. I love you exactly as you are.

My fav thing about TAZ is that any aspect out of context sounds fucking bonkers.

Like, in the balance finale there's a scene in which Garfield (who is very specifically never described visually bc most people imagine him as like. The Lasagna Cat. Who in this universe is the most powerful warlock in the realm and also has a hobby of cloning people, which is great for the one character that got forced into haunting a mannequin) is summoned by an alien spaceship that runs on the power of friendship so he could beat up some flashing balls. In D&D.

And that was just. Such a normal scene in the narrative. No one blinked an eye. I would like to bow down to Griffins clear unmatched talent for making me feel such big emotions over ridiculous shit like a goddamned umbrella or a regular ass pair of jeans or the idea of a taco recipe.
