I learned to rock climb this year

Ethereum Pools was my most nerve enducing post and made me laugh the most

synthetic a priori took the longest and didn’t work out. I will likely return in a long time

I enjoyed drawing dragons 🐉

Many unfinished projects I can only bet

I would like to redraw Pokémon and Link because they bring with them nostalgic feelings and I haven’t yet perfected by heart

The process behind some posts are to write anything that feels right fast enough to not forget what’s next. Remember all the letters that are autocorrected and incorporate them into the next phase of thought. Use numbers and make the meaning cryptic and abstract. If it all flows i’m satisfied.

Art goal - paint and learn a new technique

I tried to just write and add connections then organize

My first paper was criticized heavily then the rest passed academic standards with flying colors

I listened to the girl in red and laroi and hxliday

The lovely haikkun commented on how much she wanted to see our type of deep thoughts in word form

Lots of tutorials on electronic functioning

Found lots of resources at IU - couches, food, condoms, ziplock bags

Redrew many mazes

New inspo came from rapper friends, tumblr friends, online triathletes, and characters in books

Sharing is based on a feel or how if fits within other goals/moral laws at the time

I returned to zombies and selling shoes this year

Biggest art project was printing pictures and showing them one by day

Exchanged a lot of money this year

My style became more layerous and more bloody

Am conscious of this often

Haven’t painted much

Many mediums less hard drugs

Let Siri do more talking and learned to code

Went silent and communicated through telepathy

Became familiar drawing from darkness

And holding breath

I learned through falling into pain without reaching out

No OC designs but I was really intrigued by them this year especially

Salvador Dali and Spider-Man No Way Home had some great ones

I have some twisted song ideas like screamo jingle bells and sinister twinkle little star

Also book ideas somewhere forgotten along my scroll of posts this year

I most wanted to improve creativity

I still get stuck on patterns but have made vast progress

My art has many more strokes typically and lest blocks

Also many breaks

It’s difficult to edit because I never see imperfection and regret it might change the original meaning and story

I most enjoy the surprising enigmas and looking back when i’m down and seeing my masterpiece

I did technical studies on computer history

All my works are cursed

The disturbing ones are rare including sorry child and frozen wasteland (with picture)

I sent my art to my professor he said “please do not email me anymore”

I also gave it to friends/family who were ecstatic

I notice entendres quickly and look into how the strokes were made

I also sound out words and have been very stupended by the allusions/ironies

Lazy lazers and sex among species was best received

Slightly unexpected

“All these words around me keep narrating my life - what the hell is watching” - most personal

And the red gem conglomeration

I had fun making them all

My google search history has been corrupted by canvas and “how to kill your Roomate”

My family see these and I don’t know which I’d prefer

Because the audience would alter intent forever

I look at it and sometimes am ashamed but mostly am proud

Alternate fandoms preferred except romantic relationships. When those are tinkered with I am repulsed. I feel like it corrupts the entire character and identity so it’s just using the imagery and stealing nostalgia for something recognizably unrecognizable. Like click bait. Not a bad thing just not my forte.

The art I make can’t help but adopt and merge with the stuff I look at

The patterns and voice pervading

Similar workflow though this last month I have done more reading in between lines of writing

Biggest motivation was distraction from money

My art wasn’t so important but others have been my escape from hell

It is!!! Like, you run around in a dark maze and just pew pew at people!!! It is so scary if you're alone though. Because it is so loud and you can't see where you're going very well.

Man,, maybe i'd have more oc's with guns if i knew what lasertag really felt like. And im talking real lazer tag, not that nerf course my cousins' youth group rented. That was no fun.

That "Allura is more mature than Keith" post isn't even by a Shallura shipper, they don't even post about the ship. Also, Kimberly Brooks literally said in an interview that Allura is closest to Shiro in maturity. So yeah, she's more mature than Keith. Deal with it.

Man, that anon was lying then? That would explain why I couldn’t find the post……I thought I was just too late & it already got deleted or something.

I’ll apologize for jumping the gun too quickly on that post then, but I will fight you on that statement of Allura being closest to Shiro in maturity.

First of all: Kimberly is a VA. She’s not one of the show’s writers or EPs. Josh Keaton has said that Shiro’s favorite food is mac n cheese but that is total fanon. Kimberly’s statement also counts. (If you want to take that further, Jeremy said that Altean Lance sounded like an awesome idea. Altean Lance is literally the worst fucking thing ever so he is VERY clearly wrong on that part.)

Speaking of the writers/EPs, they said that she’s a great diplomat, but literally the first thing she does when encountering humans is to insult them to their face. And then she never apologizes for it even as she’s asking for their help to fight an entire war against an evil Empire that has genocided entire races.

(Yes, they become friends later, but still - terrible diplomacy.)

Hell, we never even see her engage in actual diplomacy, she doesn’t ever debate with people, she just gives rousing speeches about how great Voltron is & the Coalition & Peace & “Fight the Galra!”. Rarely do we ever see her consider other people’s views, come into conflict with them or even LEARN anything from them. (I am not touching the anti-Galra stuff because that’s a touchy topic).

Other things that the show has said & yet contradict what we see in canon:

“Alteans are amazing diplomats!”

>Coran calls Pidge primitive despite her literally being able to access Altean tech & interface with ease & them relying on the new human Paladins for help.

>All their cuisine seems to amount to just green goo despite diplomats having a wide variety of foods since they go to so many places & experience so many cultures. (There’s even a still from s3 of Alfor looking at some exotic fruit/vegetables - apparently his diplomatic travels to the planets/systems of the other Paladins had ZERO impact on him.)

^This is more of a nitpick so you can dismiss it if you want.

“Alfor was a great man!”

>He kept Oriande a secret for no reason (it has a magical guardian that can absolutely annihilate Voltron AND the Castleship in just one massive beam move & has magical trials that can weed out the unworthy immediately) from all of Altea & it’s even worse when you realize that he didn’t even tell Allura about it despite wanting her to survive & thrive in the future as he was basically going on a suicide mission to fight Zarkon one on one OUTSIDE HIS FREAKING LION.

>Seriously, he didn’t even tell Coran about it! The secrets of Altean alchemy would have been completely gone if Lotor & Haggar weren’t such obsessive nerds about it (& Lotor didn’t even exist yet or was probably a zombie fetus who knows???)

>If he’s such a peaceful king, why was his first idea to build a massive superweapon to fight the rift creature? There were probably peaceful ways to neutralize it, contain it, communicate with it or SOMETHING. The Alteans left the Weblum alone & that thing eats planets & lazers ships to death. Hell, they even actively sent people there to harvest stuff from inside of it despite Coran saying that it was an incredibly dangerous task & a ton of unskilled pilots or even skilled pilots probably DIED while doing so.

>If he’s such a great king, why did he spend all his time going around the universe fighting what looked to be like random pirates or bandits? He’s a king, he can make laws to crack down on piracy or send in the Royal Altean Police Force or something.

“The universe needs Voltron. Voltron’s a legend. Voltron is a symbol of peace.” x1000

>The first generation of Paladins literally put Voltron on hiatus for YEARS because Alfor & Zarkon suddenly weren’t friends anymore. Apparently the universe didn’t need Voltron at all.

>Also, what did they even use Voltron for after they took out the Rift Creature? They never mention any wars or anything, it looked like they were just fighting off random pirates again. Voltron is so unnecessary. (Especially since again: the Paladins are all LEADERS of their entire races/systems/planets. They aren’t powerless.)

^By the way, them being already in sync, long-time friends & comrades on the battlefield opens up a pretty big plothole about all the Paladin trials that Coran said were to boost the trust & to train the trust between Paladins (seriously, electrocuting a king & making them completely open their mind to others via Altean tech would NEVER fly no matter how strong their friendship is).

^^I say that this is a big plothole because every time Pidge uses stealth mode, that is basically going “REMEMBER THE INVISIBLE PALADIN MAZE??? IMAGINE ZARKON ELECTROCUTING BLAYTZ FOR SHITS & GIGGLES”.

”I’m a terrible alchemist, my father had a rare gift that even Honerva didn’t have.”

>Wow, that’s weird, we’ve never seen Allura do ANY alchemy in the show. She’s never even mentioned that she had an interest in it or that she even WAS one. And until s5, Alfor wasn’t implied to be extra special besides being a Sacred Altean & the chosen Red Paladin. Plus, there were even other Alteans working with him in the screenshot of the construction of the Lions. What, were they only there to fill in the space?

Look, yes the cast & even canon itself says things like that, but again: does it really count if the canon itself contradicts it?

If you claim that your OC is super smart, but you constantly write them as making stupid mistakes & generally acting really dumb, then no. They’re NOT smart!
