talking to a friend about getting back into art and i think the #1 most important piece of art advice i could ever get or give is just "figure out what is FUN to you"

like i think there is sooooo much emphasis on how to build SKILL in art but a lot of it really treats art like a job or like video game grinding, like it's this thankless job that you have to work at in order to reach a Threshold and i know it's not EASY to make yourself have fun but like

imo a solid 70% of the reason i create art is because the Act of Drawing is fun to me. it's fun problem-solving and planning and putting down lines and playing with colors and tools. it's fun to depict little scenes in my head or to create outfits or to find ways to fill the canvas. never forget that creating can be fun. sometimes it's hard and sometimes you have to battle through your own blockades to get there but the ultimate goal should always be to ENJOY it, to find what you enjoy doing and then do it forever. improvement will follow enjoyment.

i think especially with all the debate about ML image generation it's more important than ever to embrace FUN. if you're only focused on the end result it's so easy to get in your own head- to think about what doesn't look good or what skills you don't have yet or to compare yourself to other artists. but photography didn't kill the art of drawing and AI won't either because, simply put, there will always be people who want to do the physical act of making art because it's fun to do! using paints and markers, splashing colors around, doing shitty pen doodles, using the symmetry tool in your art program to do abstract mandalas that are just squiggles formed into patterns. do art like you're 5 and you've been handed markers to pass the time. do art like you're bored in class and you're keeping your brain entertained by drawing stick figure comics in the margins. do art like an absent thing, do art because it satisfies your brain. the goal is not to make something beautiful and perfect, the goal is to make something because your hands need to make and your body needs to make.

I'm gonna make v; Something That Cannot Die my main verse, which i guess technically makes Hannah my main muse here? For anyone who has newly followed me and hasnt gotten a chance to check out my carrd yet:

v; Something That Cannot Die -Canon divergence. Beth still dies in the fall, and Hannah still breaks her leg and her glasses, but Jack (who didn't kill the Makkapitew) heads down into the mines hoping for some miracle, even though miracles don't tend to happen on this mountain. However, he does manage to find Hannah and helps her through the mines back to the sanatorium. He sets her leg and nurses her to back to health. He tells Hannah the truth about the mountain, and the curse, leaving her with a choice once she's physically gotten better, she can go back to her old life or she can stay as his protégé and protect the mountain. She chooses the latter.

Could be cool, could allow the group to still grieve the loss of Hannah. A good part of the reason why she would choose to essentially fake her death and stay with Jack would be because of the prank and how pathetic and sad it made her feel, not to mention the guilt and grief of being the cause of her baby sister's death. Still allows for Josh's prank on the 1 year thanaversary of the twins, at which point perhaps someone could come across an alive Hannah while her and Jack are trying to hunt and corner the Makkapitew into a cage?
