If I learned anything from my Rhetorics class, it's that it is very easy to create "outgroups". If you heard of the term "AI art" and immediately blame AI artists, that's outgroupping in action. I wonder if anything might change if we listened and countered rather than being so quick to judge.

What is it like inside your head?

I am saddened by websites that were once filled with interesting info have devolved into contention and bitterness. I remember when I used to browse fact websites almost every day when I was younger, but avoiding its climate seems to be unavoidable these days.

Me: "Photosynthesis is when plants gather light from the sun and..." Also me: "I LOVE SPRINKLES!"

Though I thought the rough man coughed while walking through the borough beneath a bough, he was only admiring the lough after a hiccough.

Oh! Look at them! Snoozer hugging Mango, what happened? Despite their differences, they're still friends at the end of the day. Characters belong to @coffeejinx.bsky.social

I'm not sure if we should call it "Christmas in July" in the Southern Hemisphere. Over there, it is winter, so if they want to celebrate Christmas there, it's not different from how we celebrate Christmas over here in the Northern Hemisphere. Over there, it could be just Christmas.

Pretty, isn't it?

When I write, I feel that deviating from the standard rhythm makes the story easier to remember. I use a certain voice in one section, and I switch to a different voice in the next scene. Or, I speak like your average narrator while still keeping the dialogue realistic. It's what makes writing fun.

You guys are beautiful, unique, and stronger than you think. I hope you realize how much of a difference you make by just talking to somebody. A friend, your family member, even a stranger. Some people are more reserved, and that's okay, it is just what makes people interesting. I'm glad you exist.

I see creators telling their audience to quit pestering them and be patient, but I wonder if it's on a case-by-case basis. If the audience is asking a week after, then, yeah, it might be a bit soon. But if the project is radio silent for more than six months, wouldn't it be reasonable to inquire?

the venezuelan earthquakes tragedy continues on, two weeks later. i'm more actively posting about it on twitter because i do not have the energy to keep up with multiple social media pages at the moment + we venezuelans heavily rely on twitter to spread urgent news and information, bsky is useless.

I think people tend to forget what rallying others to boycott means. It's like owning a childhood plush. If the creator was caught up in controversy, would it not be cruel to suggest they throw it away? I found that it's less about supporting them and more about accepting the experience tied to it.

Don't let anyone tell you to grow up. If watching a kids show in your 30s makes you happy, go for it. If you have matured from watching kids shows, all the more reason to keep at it. Don't let anyone's opinions put your interests in a box.

I'm going to be taking an indefinite art break due to it becoming stressful. I don't know when I will come back—today, next year, whenever I do not feel constrained. When I do come back, I'll be operating under a new creative model.

If you're growing as an indie creator, expect pushback. It doesn't matter how small it is, there will always be criticism. It is nice to read comments praising your project, but you will never satisfy all of your audience.

Some people find too much happiness overwhelming, and that is okay. No matter how much you hype them up, you just can't get a smile out of them. That doesn't mean you failed, it just means they find their happiness elsewhere. Meet them at their level, and you will find where they keep their smiles.

Feedback is natural. It is nice to hear improvement, but not where to make improvements. You might feel confident, discomfort, or somewhere in between, and that is okay. Some are optimistic, others are direct, and that is also okay. What matters is how you use that feedback for your improvement.

"One... Two... Three!" *CHOMP*

Update. DDB is back and has apologized, but he is taking a break. I wish the best for him but I hope he improves his communication to his members especially since this is not the only time it happened. They were stressed and struggling for a day straight as they were processing what just happened.

Daydreaming Birdie disappeared off social media all of a sudden and deleted his CRiTORA projects. I'm a friend with several crew members, and they are well-aware of this news. Shock and grief. I've been a fan of his project, so this is surprising to discover. I hope he finds enough peace to return.

We all have bad days, but I wonder if artists realize that we sometimes sit and think about their OCs when we're stressed out. That's what makes us feel better. That's what a comfort character feels like.

Ayumu by Aircraft. This may be one of the most fun drawings I ever made.

I always feel better near @yimir.bsky.social

My general artist stats, too.

I was digging through my art archive and remembered drawing this little dude! I loved him so much I needed to draw him getting kissed by a floating head with disembodied hands. This was drawn at 2024, so his design has changed since. Starbunny belongs to @starlightstarbunny.bsky.social!
