more stuff about becoming a god being inherently dehumanizing pls

i think not a single word you write is ever wasted. i think your unfinished stories taught you more than you know, i think your notebook margins are full of doodles and every one of them has meaning, every scrap and perpetual work in progress lives inside your heart. art is not ever “wasted” just because you put effort into something that’s not suitable for mass consumption. there is value inherent in the act of creation!

any other artist out there feeling like they're fundamentally uncreative. not in a sense of being unable to make art, but in the sense that the results of your artistic labour are predictable, stagnant, a dime a dozen. like the creativity flowing through the artists you admire is a bone in their body that you were born without.

Don’t know who needs to hear this but you can have your joyful teenage queer romance at ANY age. You are not too old to have this happy relationship. You can live your queer teenage fantasies at any age, I promise it’s never too late for you to have it.

Inktober 2021, Creatures

Shortest Inktober I have ever done, but one I did nonetheless.

There are three rules:

1. If you do not go after what you want, you will never have it.

2. If you do not ask, the answer will always be no.

3. If you do not step forward, you will remain in the same place.

Origin decided I couldn't play The Sims Medieval tonight so guess who stayed till 1 am and drew Keyleeth from Vox Machina!

Shoenhut doll construction was fucking wild. You can show me as many examples as you want of it, and I still feel overwhelmed.

Like, their contribution to the toy industry in general is crazy, from how it was one of the biggest manufacturers in the United States to how no one outside of collectors knows of them now, but the sheer technological complexity of their play dolls is mind boggling.

This was the 1910s; ball jointing with string was the predominant method of movement, and composition was king. Shoenhut started out with toy pianos, and had only worked up to jointed dolls via their smaller scale circus line and a Teddy Roosevelt playset (yes, really).

The "All Wood Perfection Art Doll" was not only a mechanical marvel, but was specifically advertised as being durable and painted in such a way that it wouldn't (not for a while, at least) wear off or chip. They're a relic of a bygone "Made to Last Forever" mentality, and many of them can still hold their poses to this day.

And from her touch, sprung the forest
