you'll get the urge as an artist or a writer to say out loud the things you're worried about "the proportions are off" "kind of out of character" "i'm not good at summaries" "didn't get as much detail as i wanted" "i made a mistake and here's how" and that's the self-conscious part of your brain telling you "it's bad and if you don't tell them you know it's bad then they'll think you're stupid" but you've got to ignore that little voice and pretend you think it's good or else that little voice is going to ruin your life

#psa: don't degrade your own work just because you're dissatisfied with it or worried other people will see the mistakes #project the confidence and the skill you're longing for will come i promise #not art #it's another one of my pet peeves online and something i had to learn myself #self-degradation is not the key to being a good artist online #it'll do more harm than good in fact

In my heart, Ford once went to an ice dimension and got Really Good at ice skating, and now he's absolutely insufferable about it.

#I think Ford has a bunch of random skills & everytime one comes up he has the most ridiculous yet completely true story to go along with it #in this case it involves picking a lock with his skates while scaled half way up a glacier. (he needed something for the gun dw about it)#I also think Stan would also be good re the 'Stan's Roller Skating in short shorts' lines from Dreamscapers #The difference being that Stan isn't willing to risk breaking his back for it. Unlike Ford who is already mid backflip #I know what ice skates actually look like btw. I know the blade is inaccurate. I promise. I know 🙏#Gravity Falls #Stanford Pines #Ford Pines #Grunkle #Grunkle Ford #Fan art #fanart #artists on tumblr #my art

i say i like tragedies and everyone’s all like ‘why do you like sad stories? are you depressed?’ and never ‘how was the catharsis? was the catharsis fun?’

#i don’t know how to explain this to normal people 😭😭#for the record my coworkers didn’t directly question me on this #but i think i have vastly overestimated the amount of the population who is aware of like. Films.#NOT claiming that i have seen a lot - but i’ve mentioned three *REALLY* well-known films in the past four days #and got blank stares each time #the one of them was a REALLY good reference too… someday my top-notch association skills will be recognized #my first act as Mansion Acquaintance of the [redacted] Director will be to force everyone to watch a 40s romcom i didn’t even like #i’m getting off the point #the POINT is that It’s About The Catharsis

Finally read Robins!

I have a lot of thoughts, but I just want to say this panel is the funniest thing I've ever seen:

#addressing Bruce as Batman is such a tell too #hilarious and fucked up #tim drake #bruce wayne #batfam #i continue to maintain that tim being a champion liar while looking like that has given him such an unfair advantage in life #no one suspects this awkward twink with survival skill-level excellence in lying to parental figures is lying to them #not even bruce #my dude this is why you are no longer the world's greatest detective #anyway #I fuckin' love tim drake #robin #robins (2022)
