something about loving someone is giving them the power to break your heart and hoping they will not use it

i love when words fit right. seize was always supposed to be that word, and so was jester. tuesday isn't quite right but thursday should be thursday, that's a good word for it. daisy has the perfect shape to it, almost like you're laughing when you say it; and tulip is correct most of the time. while keynote is fun to say, it's super wrong - i think they have to change the label for that one. but fox is spot-on.

most words are just, like, good enough, even if what they are describing is lovely. the night sky is a fine term for it but it isn't perfect the way november is the correct term for that month.

it's not just in english because in spanish the phrase eso si que es is correct, it should be that. sometimes other languages are also better than the english words, like how blue is sloped too far downwards but azul is perfect and hangs in the air like glitter. while butterfly is sweet, i think probably papillion is more correct, although for some butterflies féileacán is much better. year is fine but bliain is better. sometimes multiple languages got it right though, like how jueves and Πέμπτη are also the right names for thursday. maybe we as a species are just really good at naming thursdays.

and if we were really bored and had a moment and a picnic to split we could all sit down for a moment and sort out all the words that exist and find all the perfect words in every language. i would show you that while i like the word tree (it makes you smile to say it), i think arbor is correct. you could teach me from your language what words fit the right way, and that would be very exciting (exciting is not correct, it's just fine).

i think probably this is what was happening at the tower of babel, before the languages all got shifted across the world and smudged by the hand of god. by the way, hand isn't quite right, but i do like that the word god is only 3 letters, and that it is shaped like it is reflecting into itself, and that it kind of makes your mouth move into an echoing chapel when you cluck it. but the word god could also fit really well with a coathanger, and i can't explain that. i think donut has (weirdly) the same shape as a toothbrush, but we really got bagel right and i am really grateful for that.

grateful is close, but not like thunder. hopefully one day i am going to figure out how to shape the way i love my friends into a little ceramic (ceramic is very good, almost perfect) pot and when they hold it they can feel the weight of my care for them. they can put a plant in there. maybe a daisy.

devlog 01.

I started reading books about game narrative design. The other day I made a pixel artwork, which in turn made me want to make low poly 3d artwork, which in turn made me want to make a simple itch.io game. Haven't been able to get the idea out of my head ever since and I do wonder if it'll bring me joy.

Well, the word "dev log" itself makes it seem like you're working on something important, you know? Here, have a cute update on this creation in which I have poured my whole blood, sweat, and tears into! sort of stuff.

Sometimes I wonder if I'm making coherent sentences. Do they pair up nicely with my incoherent thoughts?

it is insane how people do just . not know what objective is. like if you are trying to argue there is some objective difference between “good art” and “bad art” and your first argument is that “well objectively good art makes people feel good and bad art makes them feel bad” you . have no clue what art is. and also have no clue what objectivity is.

i want to make the best of my time. i want to make the best of my life. there's a lot of things i need to sit down and ponder on. but even more things to act upon.

the life i want... i will make it mine.

Edgar Payne studies! I've recently read his book on outdoor paintings. I think it's moving how much he loved painting mountains haha.

you think you’re waiting for love to find you when in reality it has saved you in a thousand different ways since the sun rose today
