just learned that David Jenkins’ first show, People of Earth, aired for two seasons and was greenlit for a third, and he scripted the entire third season before the network changed its mind and cancelled it. That is fucking maddening actually.

there is a tremendous lack of chloe green and shara wheeler content on this app and we should be fixing that

as a (fanfic) writer, seeing challenges that go “i’ll read a fanfic if i fail” leaves a bad taste in my mouth, like damn reading my stuff is a punishment okay

Went back and reread some of Master and Commander again and goddamn is that book rich with detail...truly I did not know how to appreciate it on the first (or second) read-through...

Advice from E.B White (yes, the author of Charlotte's Web) to a 17-year-old Conan O'Brien. Conan realized just as he was sharing the anecdote that he hadn't taken the advice....

Sometimes I will see a piece of art captioned something like "just some little doodles" or something and it's some of the most beautiful art I've ever seen

[pynkhues]

I'm really sorry you and your sister are dealing with that

(no pressure to publish this, not that there should ever be pressure to publish an ask if you don't want to, of course, but just wanted to say I hope you're doing okay)

Ah, thank you, anon, it's okay. It's been a while now (court moves slooow), but we're getting hopefully close to the end. She filed in Family Court December 2022, and we've had about five interim hearings with final trial (finally) scheduled over four days next month, so fingers crossed! But yeah, it's been A Time. He's financially and emotionally abusive against my sister, and both those things as well as medically negligent against their children (who are only six and eight and both have special needs), so it's been....rough. To say the least.

But on a lighter note, have one of my new favourite photos I took of my nephews at the jellyfish enclosure at the aquarium last month!

Do you guys have any fancast that isn't your typical Hollywood mainstream, A-listers and actors from franchises/shows highly popular on social media like Nicole Kidman, Julianne Moore, Gillian Anderson, Zendaya, Mads Mikkelsen, Peter Capaldi, Hugh Laurie etc?

Nothing against them, but I'm curious if you have any different ideas... Can be big actors that have won or been nominated to an Oscar/Emmy/Tony but aren't that popular or people who aren't that recognized, but you think they're talented and have unexplored potential.

If you could share a gif or a video of them so I can see the vision, I'd appreciate.

Also, it doesn't necessarily have to be people you associate with a specific character, it can be just a "I'd like to see them on the show, don't matter who they play" situation. :)

If this gets ignored then just look away and pretend the post and let's pretend the post never existed lol.

feeling a lot like ichika in that one 4koma rn

Not me seeing goofy ass takes in tiktok comment sections that the Usos previous style was a "bad gimmick" especially because "they were midcard."

Hm

Hhmmm

HHHHMMMNMMM🤨

I didn't know repping the culture of literal wrestling royalty was a gimmick.

But I guess that's none of my business

There is something very devastating to me about writing.

I don’t know, it’s about writing being one oldest form of share thoughts but, at the same time, the most... “limited”.

Music, drawing, animation. These things also take time to be made. It’s all ways of art that requires just as much effort and dedication. But I can’t help but feel that they are easier ways for your art to be shared, objectively speaking.

A painting can be comprehensible due to its aesthetics and style. Just like a song, it sticks in your head, holds your attention. I can tell if the sound is sad or happy or angry.

A book can't do that.

You don’t watch or hear a book. It won’t reach people with its visuals or sounds, things that are so common to humanity as a whole... and that hurts me.

Feeling that the art that I love so much can’t be as universal as I want it to be. A song can reach people who speak different languages, and so can na image. A book will always have a language barrier. If it is not translated, others will not have access.

I cannot rely solely on sound and vision and feelings that go beyond language. Not like a artist or a musician can.

I am a communicator blocked by my own way of communication.

And that hurts.

I’m playing Pokemon Infinite Fusion and oh my GOD it’s such a blast…I want to say this is the first time in a while I’ve had this much fun with a Pokemon game but SV just came out like four months ago so lmao

Btw y’all should send me some of your favorite fusions if you’ve played the game/have seen some neat ones 👀 I have no idea what my final team will look like bc there’s SO many options and I’m sure there’s plenty of custom made fusion sprites I haven’t seen so please share with me your faves <3

due to Life Shit I kind of stopped drawing much about a year or two after I graduated high school bc I just kind of didn’t have the time or mental/emotional/physical capacity to fit it in, despite art being something I really want to be a part of my career. It kind of makes me sick to realize how much muscle memory I lost just from that time (I had only about a year and a half total of absolutely no art but that was enough. doesn’t help that during that time I seriously injured my hands) considering I’ve been drawing my entire life. I really wish things had not gone that way and that I could have kept going, but expectations were on me to do something else and any time I sat down to draw was treated as wasting time. There’s also something weird about recovering from severe trauma that kind of adjusts how you engage with a hobby you used as a coping mechanism, which Art very much was. I almost never drew vent art, but I used it to focus on something and make myself happy and proud of work I actually could do, and once I was out of the environments that funneled me into drawing (being forced to go to church, school, anything involving sitting down for a long period of time) I found less time to actually have an excuse. Someone bought me a single college course of art classes right out of high school, and I think that was where I COULD have had the opportunity to really get started if I had actually had the money to continue and the college hadn’t been so far away. After that course ended I didn’t have that excuse anymore. I used to draw in DeviantArt and Discord art groups, but those began to fall apart and soon I didn’t have that option either. After that I doodled but didn’t really create Full Pieces unless some friend asked it of me, and it was never a commission bc I’d never trained myself to get that sort of shit done without taking too long, so I’d always do it for free. So even that wasn’t a big motivator eventually. Now that I’m struggling for work after becoming more physically disabled after COVID, all that time I could have spent honing my art skills so I could do SOMETHING with my art really is weighting down on me. I have the option to do freelance work, illustrations, pet commissions, even things like cards and cookies. I’ve seen these avenues open up for me gradually, but I’ve lost the skills I built up that I need to actually make something I’m proud of. I’ve taken to tracing old art to try and remember my thought process and my “style”… but my memory was bad BEFORE the covid, and it’s worse now, and my brain fog makes it hard to focus even if I could get back on the train of thought. I don’t remember the construction that would be in my mind’s eye. I barely can keep a clear vision in my mind’s eye anymore, worryingly. I never had a crystal clear imagination, it was always sort of abstract, but I could see the lines, I could construct a scene. Now I have to focus hard to get any sort of detail clear in my head. It’s like if you tried to look directly into someone’s face in a dream, or put in a prompt in neural blender. So I have to adjust to performing the entire thought process physically, slowly and tediously trying to figure out what I’m imagining before I can really get started. Those old art tutorials for constructing shapes and bodies and such just aren’t coming naturally anymore so I have to dredge deep into my mind to remember which advice helped “click” the best and knowing it might not do it this second time around. It’s like if you forgot how to ride a bike. It was something natural to you, you could even get started haphazardly and distracted and still be able to tell where you were going and not fall over or trip on yourself, but now it’s like you have to focus on each step and it constantly feels like it’s taking everything you have to not crash. I’m glad I can start drawing again, but it hurts that something so huge in my life has been turned into this. I’ve ranted about it before it’s just easier to notice when you’re not sketching out people’s pets or doing super stylized doodles.

the lack of originality is truly insane for a company like hybe but then again they know that it is ok to make zero effort cause fandom will eat everything

[you-are-my-neverland]
