[emchante]

Me again! Sorry I'm shy and stopped requesting but you told me to send a million more so I'm trying to overcome my fear of being annoying to send more 😂

I already sent a writing prompt related one so now I'm hiring you as 🏹 — matchmaker

You already know a good bit about me (lol) but I'll summarize. I'm 6'0", dark blonde, blue/green/idk what colour they are eyes. I'm very creative and love designing from graphic design to interiors but my true passion is writing! I also have a growing appreciation for fashion and yet not enough money to spend on it. I'm an only child and yet someday I want a big family of my own (exposing myself here...my biggest dream is to be a mom 🤭). My close friends are like family to me and with them I love going out to eat to chat and/or going on long car rides with no destination just to blast music from any and every decade! Is that sufficient? I feel silly talking about myself in your ask box lmfao

EMILY HII i’m so happy you submitted more!! you could never annoy me <3

now.. i think we ALL know who i’m matching you with 🫵 and that is of course george <3 but, i’m going to give reasons so you don’t think i’m saying it just because!! i’m saying this because i truly believe it, so here we go 😌

george is very passionate about f1 and his career, as are you with writing + graphic/interior design. both of you would support each other’s goals, and would appreciate each and every accomplishment either of you achieved!!

your love for going long car rides and blasting music? perfect for george. he’s an f1 driver, and he would gladly be your chaperone. i can picture it right now, you’d both have a collaborative playlist with all your favourites; songs that remind you of each other, songs that make you happy, songs that you got the other into— a LONGGG playlist for those long car rides.

now, george seems very grounded and family-orientated to me— i mean, we’ve seen the photos of him with family, especially kids!! that, along with your lifelong dream to be a mother, oh you guys would make a perfect little family <3 and george just seems so.. father like? like, i can just see him as a dad in any scenario. even more perfect with you!! <3

you’re THE george girl in my eyes, and i’m sure many people on here agree 👀 and the thought of you both together? perfect. beautiful. chefs kisses. 10/10. you were madeee for each other so emily, i am matching you with george <3

thank you for submitting more asks!! i’m sure you’ll be happy with this answer, and i hope you appreciate the reasoning 🫶

Seren's Studies: The Odd Squad UK Promo

Now, before reading this, I need everyone to give a middle finger to Firefox for repeatedly flashbanging me throughout this entire followup whenever I went to take a screenshot. This has never happened before. I don't know why it's happening. I do know that I am inches away from throwing that inflamed vixen in the trash and moving to SlimBrowser instead.

Okay, so now that you've done that, let's discuss this 30-second promo that someone on Discord was very polite enough to dredge up. (Since there's a lot of...sensitive stuff that happens in that server -- in an "inner workings of a television network" kind of way -- I will refrain from naming names. If you see this, you know who you are, and thank you.)

At the time of this writing, there are no teaser images, nor have all the expansive synopses been released yet. It'll take a while for TVO to get through all of them, BBC doesn't have any expansive synopses, and my other sources are...dead in the water.

I don't think I need to say this, but I'll say it anyway: there are spoilers abound in this. If you haven't seen the promo yet, it's best if you view it here before proceeding with this followup.

Let's dive in below the break!

The only reason I'm putting this here is because the plehn started in Arlington and it's goin' to the United Kingdom and to Britain.

Because PBS's Headquarters is in Arlington.

MOUNT VIRGINIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-

Am I fuckin' trippin' on some shit or are we inside Big Ben? Because I mean the clock to the left there is confusing my pea brain. And if we are in Big Ben, some agent is going to go clear through these doors and wind up doing the Peter Griffin death pose but...y'know...they're dead. So.

On another note, I see we're ditching Apple computers and going straight for Microsoft. I know what iMacs look like. I have Google. Those are not iMacs. Sorry, Cook, but you're not cookin' in the UK.

We can also see the breakroom that was spotted in the gadget competition briefing video, which...kinda makes all my cracks about the shitty editing age poorly. (The video editing, mind. Not the audio editing. Those cracks stay. There is no excuse.)

So there's a lot to take in here -- and I mean it's a disgusting amount; I have to go frame-by-fucking-frame -- but let's focus on Captain O and Ozzie specifically. We have Captain O holding a letter of some kind, while Ozzie himself is still in his Department of Help uniform. The letter could be something along the lines of "congrats, you're hired", but who's to say. Hard to tell from a simple zoom-in and an "attention, everyone!"

Me, I just wanna know what the knitting needles on Captain O's jacket are for. Watch it not be answered in 12 episodes and then I'll be staying up Googling when I have a car to drive and cry in.

People in the Odd Squad Discord server are, by general consensus, not happy with this British-fied Odd Squad logo. And really, I don't blame them. This is pure "graphic design is my passion and I get paid for it handsomely, motherfucker".

Look, I liked it better when it looked like a sun. The sun, at least, is symbolic from a certain standpoint. This is just making it British because we're in Britain, and it's not funny.

Pure excitement written all over that girl's face, right there. He's gonna be the poor schmuck just being dragged around everywhere in town.

Kind of like the guy who was my "boyfriend" in high school and then literally dragged me through the halls showing me off like he got the most valuable plushie in the world. (Yes, that actually happened. Yes, the quotation marks are intentional. No, you don't want me to elaborate, trust me.)

Only the guy is a tourist, I'm the poor schmuck who has to help the tourist, and the guy probably can't drag me because I outclass him by about a hundred pounds.

It took them ten years, but we finally have magic effects for when agents combine gadgets.

Oscar is shedding a tear of joy somewhere. He's never been able to make that happen, but a tourist and a Brit somehow made it work, and he's so proud of them.

I could've sworn I've seen this structure as a filming location, but I can't for the life of me figure out whether it was in the Season 3 days or if it was last year. My memory's trying to make me think the former.

Taken out of context, though, this is a monster that sees Orli and whom I have to assume is either Onom or Orwell as two fresh-blooded meals. Which ups the danger ante of the entire franchise considerably, because there is a line between "I'm going to hurt you" and "I am going to kill you".

This octopus...thing is just...more direct about the latter.

In the medical industry, that would be classified as a brain disorder.

...In the real world.

Here in the Oddverse, you can have electricity shooting out of your head and it's as much of a minor inconvenience as an item being out of stock at the store.

(Also, someone mentioned that this guy sounds like TomSka, and...I mean, I'm inclined to agree. Not exact, but it's pretty close.)

This is William Ocean's brother, who finally emerged out of the depths of Monty Python. Good for him!

I'm sorry, I just noticed this...but they have a steel rotating door?

Like...like a captain's ship...like it's...

And it's automatic...

I'm sorry, but I'm just so damn used to seeing metal doors that seeing one in a completely different color, material, and shape is sending me for a whirlwind. Holy cheesin' Jesus.

"I wanna be a cooowgiiiirl, baby!"

"Heeeell yeah!"

"I wanna be a coooowgiiiiiirl, baaaaabyyyyy!"

(Or, alternatively, Smoothest Bitch in the East.)

And finally, we get to my favorite part: the gay triangle villain. Gay villains, if you want to count the one on the left, but since they don't speak, it's hard to tell where they fall on the LGBTQ+ spectrum.

I could make an entire Seren's Study on Odd Squad and LGBTQ+ representation, and I probably will one of these days, but I need you guys to understand something for a moment.

So in the aforementioned Discord server, there was talk of an episode of Season 1 of Alma's Way called "Say I Guess to the Dress". It involved Alma struggling to figure out what dress to wear to a party she's attending. It was meant to air in January of last year, but got mysteriously pulled and replaced with a different episode, and hasn't aired in the US since.

You might think this is not normal fare. You'd be right.

But in one scene of the episode, Lucas, one of Alma's friends, models a dress that -- and I am going off of the Wiki here -- was worn by Julia, his late cousin. Only for one scene. Only for a bit. Nothing more, nothing less.

This led to speculation that the episode got banned, hence why it hasn't aired yet. In Australia, it aired fine. However, we are on Season 2 of the show, and all we've gotten is pure crickets. We don't know for sure what happened, but with PBS, it's a minefield -- since they get a lot of money from donors, adding in an LGBTQ+ major character would sap up a good financial origin because people would be too pissed off to donate. So they relegate it to tiny sprinkles.

I'm not sure what the BBC's rules are on LGBTQ+ people in kids media. They could be strict, they could be lax, who knows. I still need to do some research on that. But for how much PBS is trying to make Gay Triangle Villain straight...he's not. He's really not.

Because let's be honest here: they're called the Triangle Sisters. That already says enough on its own.

Oof...didn't wanna make this super long-winded. But I'll discuss this at length later in another Seren's Study, once the episode airs.

I really might as well come out and really say it: I'm really not really a fan of the "really" gag. For a really short episode spanning really 11 minutes long, they really don't have time really for something of really this long and really painful.

...Really?

Really.

*distant ding*

Ahaha...ahaha...haha...aaaaaaah...

Mmm...

Cute. Real cute. Fuck you. But real cute.

And also, fuck PBS Kids execs for only putting out promos of new episodes of shows the day of. Remember when they used to put out promos earlier than that? Pepperidge Farm remembers, and for how much my memory sucks ass, so do I. Those were the golden days. Now we get stuff like these, because not a day goes by where they're stuck under the feet of Netflix and Hulu. Big competitors. Target and Walmart kind of rivalry.

----------------------------------------------------

Overall, not a lot of beef to this promo. I wasn't expecting anything mindblowing like, say, the trailer for the first movie (and that was epic in its own right), but it's pretty standard as far as PBS Kids promos go. I'm fairly positive CBBC will put out something far better that pulls in viewers, though I can't attest to how great their promos are because the last I saw one was...whoof, a long time ago.

But hey, look at it this way: Odd Squad UK and Pokemon Horizons will air on the same network, which means I can be an insufferable "Seven Degrees of Kevin Bacon is my life" bitch all I want.

As for the contents of the promo itself...aside from gay triangle villain, there wasn't really any spark that caught my eye. Nothing to make my jaw drop or make me go "wowee kazoo". At this point, I'm watching for two reasons: curiosity, and to give them another chance at making a franchise going stale a lot better. And also the fanfic ideas. Lots of fanfic ideas.

I doubt I'll put out another Seren's Study before this one (my PBS Kids one isn't done yet), so the next one will come sometime after the first batch of episodes releases and will be an episode followup for "Odd Ones In". Once that's done, I'll work on followups for the other episodes.

Thanks for reading. Seren out.

The second chapter went live at nearly 4am my time, which is why I didn't share it here yet, but it's here for you all now! I have some very entertaining responses to share with you all (2 are publicly visible on AO3, and the Discord ones are shared with enthusiastic permission~) Whilst the first part was a lot of tension, talking, and the making of the deal, it gets straight to the spice in the second chapter as the contract is made.

As a reminder, The Scent of Cinnamon is a prequel, set before the events of Baldur's Gate 3, and starting when Raphael and Haarlep meet for the very first time! It includes how Haarlep got their name, and what they looked like before taking Raphael's form. They do hope you will mark their true existence in your memory as surely as Raphael will after their deal is made...

Here are the reviews so far~ (Graphic design is not my passion, sorry!)

SAMPLES OF THE CHAPTERS FOLLOW! ~ Smut below the cut ~

--- --- 1 - The Cambion, The Gift, and The Contract --- ---

They sighed, hand dropping back to their side from where it had been hovering above the thinner and more sensitive skin of the cambion’s wings. “ Fine , if you insist we shall have it all in writing. You are to ensure I do not go hungry. Either provide me with partners to satisfy my hunger, or satisfy me with your own body.” “Agreed.” Lines appeared upon the page in infernal script, glowing on the parchment with the power they contained. “And you shall not lay so much as a finger upon a client without my permission.” “Then make it simple. This room will be mine as much as it is yours. Those you allow to cross the threshold are by rights my own to take, should they agree to it.” They smirked, adding to the letters upon the page. “The house is your domain, but in this room I am the only Master .” Raphael’s ego failed to pick up on the edge of their tone as he easily agreed to the term, and moved on to the next. “Then the illusion must be maintained. Once you have my form, you are to wear it until or unless I specify otherwise.” This time the incubus wavered. “You are asking me to give up the last shred of my personhood, to become you ?” “No. You will retain your personality as you see fit. You are to be my mirror in appearance, I cannot have a stray client or debtor seeing through that. They must believe, at least to a degree, that it is me they are laying with, and not some brothel-hired -” He paused. His finger traced a few letters in the air, moving them around, reforming his own name into something new. “That’s it. Haarlep . A perfect anagram, the version of Raphael that is closer to the Harlot that you are.” “You scorn me even as you wish to use me to your own ends?” The incubus frowned, though the name…was not entirely objectionable.

“The name should be a fitting match for the wearer, should it not? Or do you have a better idea?” He raised an eyebrow, staring directly into the incubus’ eyes. “I suppose I can become accustomed to it, with time.” They looked at the page, filling with more rules as they talked. --- ---

2 - The Contract, The Kiss, and The Cambion's Pride

“Marking me already~” their voice purred close to his ear as they pulled him closer, “do go on, I shall return every mark in kind. I will ensure your body knows nothing but me .” “You are very sure of yourself, Harlot. ” He growled deeply, pushing back against their control again, even as the heat in him built further. “My my, Archduke , you gave me a name and yet you do not use it? Very well…” Their lips pressed to his ear, quickly replaced by sharp teeth that bit down and made him hiss from the moment of pain. They smirked as they licked the droplet of blood from his heated crimson skin. “When you lose control, when you give yourself over to me, when you are ready to turn over your pride to the pleasure that only I can give you, when the only word left upon your breathless tongue is me - that is when you shall call me by my proper name.” “If you believe yourself capable of such a thing, you are welcome to-” Raphael’s voice was cut short. He had forgotten about their wicked tail, but now the almost sharp arrowpoint tip was at his throat. “It is adorable how you fight me even as you want me. How your lips speak of rebellion but your hips are pressing you to my body to seek your greedy release already.” They kissed more softly now, each touch of their lips a heated lie of affection, another spark to his overheated libido. They began to alternate little bites with their soothing tongue when they reached his neck, nudging his frilled collar out of the way even as the tip of their tail still pressed into the vulnerable flesh beneath his chin. “Go ahead, Archduke , let yourself go. We have all night, or longer if I have to - I shall not let you have a moment’s rest until our deal is complete. Do not think you shall get away with finishing swiftly and considering our business finished.” “Haa-” Their tail pressed down now on his tongue, stopping the word even as his body quivered against them with his release. “Too easy, and not even honest. There is more to your pride than preventing the stain spreading through your smallclothes.” They smirked, aware of the damp spreading through the layered finery. All Raphael could do was groan against the invasion in his mouth. The Harlot pressed against him did not seem to care one bit for how easily he had been overtaken by a swift climax, driven over the edge by the stimulation of their voice in his ear, their body possessively gripping him, the scent of cinnamon hot on their skin…  --- ---

The chapter titles are active links to the full works on AO3 for those who wish to read the full story so far~ I do hope you enjoy! There's plenty more to come yet, too, though it may take a little longer as I have other works on the agenda and some event pieces for Xmas that need finishing off~ Feedback, loves, is always welcomed~ If I can do better, I should like to know so I can improve and grow. If I'm already doing well? My ego does enjoy being soothed, too~

Greetings! My name is Jerry aka Skitariiposting

but you can call me ‘Skit,’ ‘Skittles,’ ‘Skitarii,’ ‘Skim Milk,’ ‘Skimpy,’ ‘Skechers,’ or practically anything; as long as it starts with an S and a K, it will likely grab my attention.

I’m renowned on Tumblr for my ability to paint miniatures, play table-top games, and make random goblin sounds! I’m less renowned for my ability to make music, edit videos, write scripts, directing, create VFX for motion based media, act, voice act, manage social media, and partaking in passionate graphic design; but I do do that! In fact, I've got a college degree related to the stuff (Bachelors in Creative Media Production) and I'm always looking for work! (please hire me)

I use the #skitposting #skit rates stuff and #ask-itarii tags! Anything with the #reblog tag isn't mine

hi queen, could you maybe give some insight on how you got into the motorsport social media world, for people who are maybe interested in that career?

hello anon, sorry this is probably gonna get long

so the short version is: I was already working in social media for Radio 1/1xtra/2/6 so handling some pretty big accounts etc. after that I wrote additional social content for Netflix shows and then I moved on to some big motorsport ones.

which is a boringly unhelpful answer because 'just already be a producer at the BBC' is not really a career path.

that said, I do know how it works.

the first thing is: social media is a broad genre. you should take some time to work out what kind of social you like making; if you're into graphic design, for instance, that's a social media job but so is writing TikTok scripts or posting as a brand or driver.

I would recommend making some kind of low pressure account and using it to mess around. give yourself a chance to find out what you're good at, if you're not going in knowing - me, I can write and I can produce but I'm not an enthusiastic or quick video editor and graphic design is definitely not my passion.

once you've worked out what you want to do, start at grassroots. there's going to be a point (this is the way with all passion fields) where you have to gain some experience by working for free. there's two ways to do this: find a grassroots motorsport thing (a person, an event, a Formula Student team, whatever) and propose doing their social media. a lot of drivers keep the same social media agency as they go all the way up the ladder (Lando's done this, for instance) so it can be a route to bigger things in and of itself. but most importantly it can get you experienced in negotiating the world of motorsport social media - how to deal with things like broadcast rights and where you can and can't film in a paddock, how to drive engagement and interact with fans, etc.

the other option is to start a project account. something like The Female Drive, which is run by a Sauber engineer. that's a really good example of an account that shows obvious skill in producing social content without creating an unreasonable work burden. the account becomes both something that you own, as its own little motorsport property and a showcase for what you can do. it's a really good way to start getting yourself accreditation or being noticed. on a bigger scale but still coming from that grassroots start, Parc Fermé have made a major success launching their agency like that, due on a major level to Lids' incredible photography but it shows the worth of going down that route and basically creating your own job.

if what you want to do is present TikTok, obviously, then you just need to start doing that and working on improving. make the type of content you want to make - that won't be interviewing Max Verstappen from the outset but you can find other ways to make it work. be creative, use your friends, do the things you'd like to watch.

the third way, which you should not do, is working what should be a paid role. a good (well, bad) example of this is this Formula Nerds recruitment ad that I saw earlier today. under UK law, you can't be a volunteer with responsibilities and volunteer roles, which are actually very regulated, have to be demonstrably beneficial to the holder. it's also just extremely shitty that people ask people to work for free; if your publication isn't making enough money, you do that yourself and you can hire people when it is.

if you want to gain experience in a professional setting, look out for internship schemes. you'll be better placed if you can show them examples of your work, which is why it's good to do that earlier experience but they should be regulated, clearly marked as an internship and paid. motorsport is a multibillion-dollar industry where even at the lowest levels thousands of pounds are changing hands, you do not work for free unless it's for yourself.

some good people to look out for opportunities with are Rosie from 115dgrs, Lois at MP, Revolution Comms, Influence Associates and Pace Six Four.

strike one

As someone whose working life actually started in a union, and a mother (derogatory) who was a union activist (abusers can be outwardly good people blah blah), I have a pretty solid understanding of the ins-and-outs of unions.

I got my first job at 14 in a chain grocery store floral stand. I was automatically in a union. It never affected me until my manager warned me we might be on strike soon. I asked why and he looked at me, fresh out of 8th grade, making less than minimum wage (because it's actually legal to pay students less even though I was working almost full-time) with no benefits and still technically on probation and thus not entitled to the 10% off groceries card that came with the job and remembered volunteering to take my mothers' cart thru the checkout to get us that 10% off till I did get my card, and this is a run on sentence for good reason. He said, "I can't give you a good reason."

"Can you give me *a* reason?"

"Full-timers are holding out for a health care insurance increase." Oh. Okay. I'm a child and don't understand 85% of those words.

Luckily we didn't strike, but looking back, I completely disagree with his initial statement. He *did* give me a good reason - or at least a fairly decent one. For 2007, downright progressive.

But a few days pass and next time I see him I ask my manager about it and he says not to worry [about the strike, not about him], we made a deal. To me this sounded kinda shady, because I'm a child and have only heard the term "make a deal" used on CSI when someone is getting stabbed etc. I asked what the deal was.

"We got 85% [health care] coverage." Oh, that's good. The more the better, right? I'm a child.

He looks at me as if I'd just spoken tongues. "Why would you even care? It doesn't affect you, you're technically part-time [and thus not entitled to ANY health care]?"

Maybe now's a good time to say that he's a boomer. The concept of someone actually wanting someone else to have something they don't have genuinely shocked him.

I think it's also the time to mention that I'm Canadian - when we bargain over health care, we're talking eyes/teeth/mental health care - all should be included but they're not.

"Because... everyone should have full health coverage?" It just sent him.

I may have mentioned that I was a kid through all of this - because even as a marginalized class of worker, I still held solidarity with the people in my department.

Now, I'm a cook by trade but an artist by passion (and occasionally commission). I work in 2 departments. And even though the SAG-AFTRA are higher-ups and full-timers and I am not, I still hold solidarity.

I fully believe we should ALL support this strike, but I'd like to appeal to the artists among us, and the creative within all of us:

If any of us ever want to be fairly compensated for art - generated by a human with a soul and passion - we have to support "higher ups" getting fairly compensated for same.

Remember how I said I was a kid earlier? And I came to that ~incredibly enlightened~ position? Yeah, it was a kid just shoehorning the concept of "union bargaining" into "The Golden Rule". Because it doesn't take a lot of thought to show our work on that exercise.

It really is that simple. Treat the writers and actors the way you, a hopeful fiction writer or a local theatre actor, or you, an Etsy jewelry maker or custom portraiteer, the freelance taxedermist, the for-hire graphic designer, would like to be treated. With, at minimum, fairness.

The situations aren't 1:1, and of course I'm in favor of all of us getting a fair deal, if we want to set a precedent, now has never been a better time.

Stay Greater, Flamingos

Hello, I hope you’re doing well🤍 I’m I.R and I’m a Capricorn♑️

My question is related to a possible career change. Right I’m studying psychology in university which I like but the I can’t find any jobs and it’s avery long process. I keep seeing people being hired even with no experience. So I have been thinking of also studying graphic design or completing a course for this and see if I can get a job in that area as it also allows me to be completely creative and have more freedom and I really like it. So my question is, would this change be beneficial and how so?

Thank you so much and hopefully it wasn’t a weird question🤍

Hiya I.R.! Thanks for the question!

I drew the Moon for you. This is a really interesting card, and I think it really speaks to your struggles right now, because it symbolizes illusions, deceptions, and uncertainty. Education leads to careers, which make up a substantial portion of our lives. It's very easy to get caught up in concerns like money and prestige, and in our society (assuming you're from a Western/Turtle Island society like myself), creative pursuits and careers are oft maligned.

All this is to say, there is a lot of pressure to pursue something like psychology, where you're more likely to find a successful, well-paying job. I know--it's what I studied. But the Moon suggests you cut through all that and see what makes the most sense for you. What makes you happy? What do you dream about? What do you desire?

These answers may not be easy, but the Moon urges you to seek out what lies unknown in the darkness. Perhaps you should take the class. At best, you discover a passion that changes your life course, and pursue something that makes you feel fulfilled. At worst, you realize you dislike the creative path, and continue on the one you had previously followed.

I hope this resonates! Have a great evening!

A mystery. I think I like it but literally every person I know who has taken that path goes into a PTSD rant about how it's not worth it while I go into a PTSD rant about how astronomically burnt out I feel after 13 years of studying computer science and feeling like an utter failure despite having a bunch of other things I am much more talented at, all of them art-related except for maybe English. But guess what we have a lot of: English teachers.

Every few months I'm at my fucking limit, wondering why I'm still going down a career path that I absolutely loathe, wondering whether I'm going crazy, whether I'm just broken, whether I have ADHD, whether it IS true that I'd be happier and more motivated studying something creative, or whether it's just wishful thinking and not my true calling.

Is there even such a thing as a true calling? Am I just lazy? Am I broken? Am I selfish? Am I capable of finish anything barely worth it? Can I have a job that doesn't gnaw at my sanity? Is stable income for me? Do I deserve it? Are graphic designers even real? Does anyone need them? Does anyone even hire graphic designers? Is it just a psyop to get people to waste their time studying a career without any professional success and just resign themselves to work at McDonald's for a miserable wage?

Is it even possible for me to pursue any career path at all? Am I really Just Fucking Bad at coding, or is it just a narrative to tell myself to justify giving up every time? Are poor people even allowed to succeed at anything creative, or are all economically successful artists just hooked in by an already established person? Is there any future in pursuing art as a career or will AIs replace us all?

Am I broken? Am I broken? Am I broken?

Graphic design is a mystery to me. That one option I'm always too scared to take. That one option everyone keeps asking me about. "Why don't you study something like that?" Why don't I indeed. I ask myself that question every December, every February, every June. Why am I 30 and still unemployed studying something I fucking hate and I'm clearly terrible at? Why is the most demanded job the most deranged for people with horribly short attention spans, social media addiction, and only motivated by creation?

I could teach English. I could work at a hotel, as a postman, I could gather data all fucking day, attend calls, I could design, I could animate, I could write for a living (and I am fucking serious). I could do all these things with a million more passion, motivation and quality than I do devving, coding, anything computer science really. But here I am, studying this stinking fucking excruciating frustrating ass piece of shit hellworld dystopian mess of a career.

I wonder how many people get disillusioned with graphic design because the outlook is just bad and there's no future in it for real. I wonder, too, how many people get disillusioned because they thought it would be "oh just create and be free ! :)" like how I thought computer science was a good path to make videogames. When my favorite part about them has ALWAYS BEEN designing levels, characters, items, ANYTHING CREATIVE.

I write I design I illustrate I make music I animate I model I rig I draw I CAN SPEAK ENGLISH BETTER THAN 99,9% OF PEOPLE IN MY TOWN. BUT I DON'T WORK IN ANY OF THOSE FIELDS.

WHY.

Why indeed.

I'll keep suffering some more, in the meantime.

Graphic design is a mystery.

[cringe-time]

I am so fucking fed up with everything. I wish I never went to school for art cuz now I have an art degree and every single job I find is looking for someone for a senior position, or something for motion graphic design, which I’m terrible at and hate. No one is looking for illustrators cuz they can just use ai for free, no one is looking for entry level animators, and the thing is I HATE practicing animation. I wish I chose a degree that didn’t involve so much self motivated work cuz I am the least self motivated person in the world. I might be able to practice animation if it wasn’t to the end of “so I can move out and pay rent and retire someday”, KNOWING that even if I was a half decent animator there would have to be a miracle to get a job that would pay enough for all that. It all just feels so pointless. And it doesn’t help that every single job description involves “working in a fast paced environment with tight deadlines” and “able to work on multiple projects at once”, which sounds like recruiter slang for “we’re gonna overload you with work for barely any pay”. I don’t like art enough to work harder to get better to MAYBE, if I’m lucky, get a job that breaks my back with work making nothing. My mom is always telling me that I need to work hard now and do everything I can now to get a job in art but the thing is I DONT WANT TO. It seems like no matter what job I get in art I’ll hate it cuz they’re gonna overload me with work I’m bad at, and I’m not even gonna get paid enough to live, assuming they don’t fire me and replace me with ai. She’s an accountant and I was considering going back to school for accounting so I think she’s trying to make sure I don’t follow in her footsteps and get a stressful soul crushing job, but for me that’s what pretty much any art job is gonna be too, so I’d rather get one that ensures I’ll be able to move out, afford rent and groceries, and retire.

And every time I try to look for art jobs I get so overwhelmed and stressed I always end up crying, without fail. So I don’t think that’s a good sign. I’m not good at researching so it’s hard to find jobs to apply for, I’m not good at lying so it’s hard to write resumes and cover letters saying “working in animation is my passion and im great at it”, I’m only ok at animating cuz it feels so pointless to practice when I hate it, and I’m barely improving, and you need to be the best of the best to get a job.

I think my mom has a point that a normal 9-5 is hell cuz you don’t have any free time, but I really don’t know what else to do. I don’t think I’d mind being a janitor but janitors don’t get paid a living wage. I’m not an ambitious person, and I wanna say I wish someone told me you kinda need to be ambitious and self motivated to be an artist, but they DID. AND I DIDNT LISTEN. I literally said “whatever, I’ll figure it out.” cuz I didn’t wanna think about what else I could do cuz I couldn’t think of a single other thing. I wish it wasn’t expected to decide what you wanna do for the rest of your life at 17. I wish there was a job that existed that both would pay me enough to live comfortably and not be hell on earth. I wish I didn’t need to get a job at all. I wish I could just turn off the part of my brain that cares about fun and comfort so I could just force myself to work. I don’t wanna put together a demo reel, I don’t wanna write a different resume and cover letter for every application, I don’t wanna prove what I can/can’t do to every recruiter. I just wanna say “I have the qualifications, I can do accounting, hire me please”.

And im terrified that if i do go back to school for something else like environmental science or accounting that it’ll be the same thing all over again, where I realize I hate it but I don’t know what else to do, so I just drift along, graduate, and end up stuck cuz finding a decent job in that field is impossible if you don’t care that much and can’t force yourself to spend all day applying to stuff you hate hoping you don’t hear back from them every day all the time. I just don’t know what to do

Yes, I am studying to be a graphic designer, like your dad. There is some science behind it relating to color theory, emotions related to colors, color meanings, and how overall shapes are perceived by an audience. You have to plan (when marketing to particular audiences) very careful for how you want your design to be seen.

Art is very subjectional of course, so many people will determine it to have different meanings than how you originally intended. There's also art history classes that I've had to take along with this degree to help me understand the beginning and the future of design.

Most of our beginner classes we are guided with very particular requirements to meet on assignments where you RARELY work with live clients. There is also the study of type as in Typography, Publication, The study of design "Design Thinking", and other intensive courses you would need to get through to be able to be a designer.

The funniest part thought? You don't need to know how to draw good to be a good graphic designer.

There's a WHOLE bunch of other stuff I would need to explain in order to get you to understand the last 3 years of work I put into this major, a lot of blood, sweat and tears.

But honestly, I don't regret a minute of it.

Interesting. Would you learning the art history classes helped you with your degree? Like of course it would helpful but do you personally think that everyone should take classes?

Also what are the live clients like? Do they want an actual product or are they doing this for your learning and not personal gain?

I get to see first hand that you don’t need to be good at drawing to be a graphic designer. Sometimes my dad hires me to draw stuff for him.I’m not saying that my dad drawings are not good. I love them but they are all very stiff and lack any emotion or feeling. That’s the kind of person he is and it went into his artwork. It’s hard to explain what I feel when I look at his drawings especially his old ones.

It’s admirable how passionate you seem to be about your degree. I looked at your carrd and I think it’s well designed. I can only say that as someone who doesn’t know how to make smart graphic designs and just has a general trouble understanding where I’m supposed go. It’s nice, simple and clean. I have no idea what requirements you have to have to get a bachelors degree in science of visual communication so I wish you luck earning it.

Also sorry if some of my questions early in this response seem really aggressive. I reread them and it sounds like I’m questioning a criminal in my head.
