btw remember when i shared forever winter with g? he was like ‘thanks for sharing that was nice :)’ and i decided then and there that i don’t love him anymore
#nice???? forever winter is nice?????????? the sistene chapel was cool??? the mona lisa wasn’t too bad and forever winter is nice#it’s like he didn’t process the song at all#and the lack of appreciation for real art has me so utterly bored

friendly reminder that if you wanna draw you should draw because I wanna see it and reblog it and eat it so it'll be with me forever
you MADE something!!! that straight up DIDNT exist before??? that's so incredibly metal and amazing and sick as fuck im so proud of you
#i dont care you 'skill level' or whatever nonsense#YOU DID THAT!!!#and my god you should be so proud because I am#i should get magnets to print out ppls art and put on my mini mini fridge that only holds like 4 cans of soda#but like esp if youre in you're 20s??? LATE 20'S???? PAST YOUR 20s???? HOLY SHIT IM SOO SO PROUD OF YOU#cuz its so so hard to get yourself to make and create after youre a kid or a teen#esp if you never really fostered that creativity as a young person#like you DID that you mADE that youre so so amazing#this also applies to writing and crafts and anything where you made something#like ive struggled for a long long time to like my art let alone want to make art but listen listen listen#everytime you make something it gets easier to make it again#you dont have to compare yourself you dont have to strive to draw like whoever#the secret is everyone wants their arts to look better or be better or easier even the really really talented professionals#we are learning creatures no one is perfect and its so so beautiful that that is a thing cuz like#i dont want to see beautiful rendered sistene chapel paintings everyday!!!#like theyre great and im in awe but i could be in awe and enjoying art jim bob down the street doodled on a bench#i see my partner doodle in my notebooks when they make phone calls and are on hold and i think its so beautiful#its just shapes but like they were there and they did that and I didnt? its beautiful and fun and reminds me they were there#you are here and im so glad you are because we get to enjoy things and create and love and just exist#life is hard and we created a society that can be so cynical and were so busy all the time#but i love us i love people i want so badly to love us all because we are different and dont always agree but we create and we exist#and i think thats enough at the end of the day. to just exist.#so you made a lil doodle? i want to see it because ive never seen it before and i think its so awesome genuinely that you did that#sucktacular sucks

When they confirm, Kaan beams. Sometimes these spur-of-the-moment ideas grind to a halt before they get off the ground, but there's something like an adrenaline rush, a nonstop good energy of everything falling into place, when they work out. (That doesn't necessarily mean he doesn't regret them later.)
He's not thinking about the future, though, as he bounds toward the sofa and sits down. "Thanks. Coffee's great." Caffeine usually helps him focus--he imagines you have to sit still for a tattoo--and he looks around, intrigued by the unfamiliar environment. Then, when he glances upward and sees the fresco that covers the ceiling, his jaw drops. "That's wicked, that," he says in wholehearted admiration. "Did you do it yourself?" Tipping his head back against the cushions, he studies the scene in greater detail. "It's like that famous one, with the guy reaching out. --God, or whatever."
It's been a slow day, only two formal appointments on the books and a third after-hours - no less formal but decidedly less official. Bil had made the post on their instagram idly, not really expecting anything much to come of it, so when the door opens to admit an unfamiliar face, their eyebrow ticks upward in surprise.
"I am, mate, yeah," Bil replies, the slight twitch of their lips not quite a smile as they hop up from the stool behind their desk, "Come in, make yourself at home."
They wave a hand in the direction of the black leather sofa they'd rescued from a pavement in Camden Town as they walk to the back of the shop, where a kettle has been squeezed onto the narrow countertop. "You want a brew before we get into it? Or coffee?"

fuck do i hate being reminded of that kim k quote about not getting tattoos bc you wouldn't put a bumper sticker on a bentley. like first of all, i'm not a fucking car?? and second of all, i know her weird, boring, minimalist ass would have painted the sistene chapel flat white. why the fuck anyone listens to her about anything other than turning a humiliating breach of trust into a billion dollar empire for your entire family i do not fucking know

im so normal and then "i was born a man so that's who i became, trading death for money, fearing only change" and "you must understand that my life, it is cursed, i have lived all my dreams, i grew gold from the dirt and yet still there's an emptiness inside my chest" and "i hope you fucking know you treat your daughters like shit and then they come to me and cry cause they have to live with it" and "we are the promises that we didn't keep" and "i don't text, i don't call and i certainly don't write, masochistically watching people burn out like stars in the night" and "a smile bigger than andromeda" and "you are a lithograph, sketching my history, under the floodlights you look more like god to me" and "but oh, it's not so simple, is it? when the fog comes rolling in, please know i didn't desert you i saved you from seeing the pain of the blinded" and "the sistene chapel of your collarbone, the david of your eyes, it has all been lost to history and why am i surprised?" and "it's time to grow old away from the people who tried to care for me, i'll die in bed alone" and "these sterilised walls make me wanna give up and the beds are all full of people who need them more than me and more than you, and we've still got dreams to live and lose so come on, let's go, get out of your bed, for once, i will not accept an end" and "there was a wanderer who found his way to god or maybe it was lucifer under some false facade" and "so leave me my liver and leave me my skin, leave me the way all those other homes did but leave me a soul, only by definition, i don't want to feel anything" and "if i can't have justice i might as well join the unjust" and "turns out that the god he found was just a little girl, sitting on a swingset, just a little girl, she said mister, you look tired, i will let you go, but first i think that what you're asking for it just might make things worse" and "oh, why'd they all have to go and leave us? is hope our cross? but if this is the cross that we have to carry let's finish the job" and "doomsday sirens will be the vows at our wedding"
#heart hands.#words words words !!#everybodys worried about owen#ewao#nunemaker’s swingset#everybody's worried about owen#nunemakers swingset

I'm in the last few months of my PhD and am definitely flagging. Do you have any advice for the end of it?
Also, your writing is wonderful xxx
hey anon, sorry for the delay in replying, I was on holiday!!!
which is absolutely my first piece of advice - schedule a break, schedule a holiday if you are financially able to. This is a sincere plea from someone who DIDN'T do this (or rather, whose first 'break' was wiped out by covid), and it's the one thing i wish I'd done differently. Right now, you probably feel like you can't take time off (you can!) and after you submit you might be focusing on financial solvency like i was (don't!). Schedule a break. I have now had 6 months of non-stop deadline chasing and work since my surgery, and sure enough the cracks show heavily. i'm tired, my emotional regulation is shot, and i'm not doing well. DON'T become me!!! Take a day or two off in these final few months to enjoy yourself, and schedule in a CONCERTED break to be head empty once everything is over, or risk exhaustion and burnout.
my other piece of advice is subject dependent but: the thesis doesn't have to be perfect, it just needs to be done.
if you're a humanities student like i am, you will probably get corrections. your thesis could be the sistene chapel of theses, and it probably will still get corrections. so if you're pushing wordcount, or coming up against comments from your supervisor that just aren't feasible in the time you have left, then save the comment somewhere, then delete it from your current document. It can be a Corrections Era problem, not a Final Submission problem. do what needs to be done to have a submittable piece, action what feedback it's reasonable to action - and learn to trust your judgement on that! (sincerely, a me who still has issues with standing up to authority!!! I should've been deleting some stupid comments right out the fucking gate!!)
no one knows your thesis like you do. if there's feedback you don't agree with at this stage, cull it. if there's feedback that would take you over wordcount or that you just don't see the point of, cull it. trust in yourself as a scholar, and also know your limits. your supervisor isn't in your brain, and doesn't know how tired you are. There is a difference between essential feedback, and nice-to-haves, and at this stage the nice-to-have bandwidth is getting thinner and thinner. Action essential feedback, and then anything that is easy/quick to do, and will definitely improve your project. the rest can wait until post-exam x
#asks#academia tag#also be prepared for the end to feeling like hitting the ground with a splat honestly#the phd doesn't feel like an achievement to me yet. with submission then viva then corrections it's a series of whimpers rather than a bang#everyone says 'you must be feeling so proud! such a big achievement!' when it isn't even over.#so it's completely ok and in fact universal to mostly be tired and numb to the victory x

In 2015, Noel talked to The Nouse about giving himself a repetitive strain injury from painting too vigorously. (Photo: Joe Lynn)
Noel: "I felt sorry for myself, then I read about Michelangelo when he was doing the Sistene chapel and was looking up at such an angle all the time, that the weight of his brain pushed against his vertebrae and changed the shape of his skeleton. And he almost went blind as well. I thought, well, I should probably stop moaning."

I love how many members of the dungeon meshi cast have been added to that list of characters people draw like they belong on the sistene chapel :)

some people will spend thousands on beefy ass PCs and expensive virtual instruments and plugins and so on trying to replicate exactly how an orchestra sounds chasing that last fraction of a percent of realism it feels like it's missing the point of our fantastic capabilities you are allowed to make it unrealistic you can break the rules. 11 piano keys pressed at a time fortissimo chromatically climbing at 200bpm in a reverb simulation based off of the sistene chapel. add some fart with reverb. this is the future

feverishly telling myself that everyone grows at their own pace while seeing yet another 13 year old with beautiful sistene chapel worthy art skills and looking back at the bland horribly drawn unappealing genuinely fucking worthless pieces of trash in my sketchbook and desperately trying to convince myself that I don’t want to quit drawing and that I do still like it and that bad art is still art (it’s not when I do it)
#actual sugar post#sorry I just. Genuinely sometimes I want to never draw again#I’ve been genuinely considering quitting making art because#I just can’t make anything that’s worth anything honestly#there are pieces that are technical achievements that get every fundamental right#there are pieces with unique styles that are genuinely interesting#there are pieces that have something to say#not only is my work technically bad but. It’s boring. I’m not creating anything beautiful or interesting or original#my work is boring and so am I. I don’t even have motivation to create anymore. I force myself to shit stuff out and take weeks to finish it#I’m gonna be an adult soon. I don’t deserve to draw if this is all I can make#I don’t even deserve to be alive. I contribute nothing to this world#I am a parasite#idk#vent#delete later

#If someone else wants to do it then just make sure you go ''credit goes to someone online!''#jk obv

reasons sports luxe/athleisure Cleo is my new sistene chapel:
she looks great in it
assuming Neferas' characterization and her and Cleos' relationship is similar to that of g1, Cleos style being more sporty draws a more visual distinction between them and highlights possible conflicts.
this was the worst Nefera to use for this point bc the matching bandeau and leggings are very athleisure but w/e shes the one I had out atm
