Your comic about how you used to love to draw.. I sympathize so much. It must be so difficult to process those feelings during times like these. If it is any consolation, the space your art takes up is a joyful, meaningful one in a lot of people's hearts. It's like a language guidebook that creates the foundation of a second language in the mind of the reader. I know how poisonous it can be to think of your art as needing a function, to be small and disposable yet widely used, I hope you are feeling better these days with your art and that you are able to heal. Your art has helped heal a lot of us, but more meaningful is if it is able to heal you
Thank you for sending me this.
Honestly, I think disenchantment with, and then falling back in love with, art-making has been (and probably will always be) a cyclical part of my life. It’s my own little myth of Sisyphus wherein I laboriously roll my absurd art boulder up the hill, convinced that this task matters, only to watch in despair as it rolls back down the hill. I accept that I must do this task again, that my labor doesn’t matter, but pushing the art rock up the hill was fun so I might as well do it again.

(and before anyone goes “Women don’t wear tefillin!”, the gendered usage of tefillin varies based on the form of Judaism. The majority of Orthodox Jews feel that women should not/do not need to don tefillin, most Conservative Jews hold this view as well, although there is a growing movement of Conservative Jewish women who don tefillin. Opinions among Reform Jews vary from “Women don’t need to/should not don tefillin,” to “If that’s how you practice your faith, that’s great!” to “Why are you asking me? I don’t care.”)

Finn’s sexual awakening took place while he lived a crowded barracks amidst like a hundred other people, and Rey’s sexual awakening took place while she lived in an abandoned AT-AT miles away from anyone else, so Finn’s approach to masturbation is like “be still, be quiet, pretend you are still asleep and nothing is happening under this blanket, what could possibly be happening under this blanket? nothing because I’m asleep,” and Rey’s is like “time for screaming, it is scream time”
Which means they first time they combine their mutual sexual experience, it just stops halfway through so they can both be like, “UMMM SO I’M HAVING A GREAT TIME BUT WHAT ARE YOU DOING”
Dreamed that a soldier killed Caesar in a desert, with a single blow of a sword to the neck. Even though they were Romans, they were both dressed in medieval armor that was completely golden. The soldier went back to Rome, came out as a transgender woman and then proceeded to rule Rome better than Caesar ever had.
"Ugly Love"
based on a dream I had about body-swapping zombie boyfriends

Dreamed that I was on a road trip with some friends. The car was very full, so I had to sit crouched on the shoulder of the passenger seat. The person seated in the passenger seat looked like Benedict Cumberbatch and I think we were dating. We drove through a small southern town, and I could tell where the queer kids hung out. A bar and a hair salon and a gas station, with 80's goth queer kids hanging out in front, smoking and drinking. On one hand, I was envious that these queers knew just where to go to meet people like themselves, but on the other hand I recognized how few of them were in that small town and how isolated they must feel. We drove along a high way at night. The person shifted from looking like Benedict Cumberbatch, to looking like W., to looking like A., and then finally looking like a combination of all three of them. I told him that I wasn't good at dancing. When a song came on the radio, he pulled over on the side of the highway and left the car door open so that the music could be heard outside. On the side of the road at night, he rested his hands on the small of my back and we danced slowly. The roadtrip (and the dream) ended with us sitting in a forest clearing, dressed in togas, watching a production of "A Midsummer Night's Dream."
Shout out to redangusart for talking me through my hissy fit about the neck in this painting.
Also check out his art.
