"I was told you're a monster," the hero said.

"So they say," said the monster.

"But you're beautiful!"

"Thank you."

"Have you always been a monster?"

"Heh. I was a young maiden. But I did something forbidden."

"And became a monster?"

"Got named a monster."

"What did you do?"

"I hit back."

Three borbs I photographed just now from the balcony. They are all competing for maximum roundness. 🏐🪶
A red-whiskered bulbul perching on a branch like a bowling ball would. Bulbuls aren't supposed to be spherical. An orange crowned warbler perched on an oak's branch looking at the camera with beady eyes. He round but that's normal for them. A yellow rumped warbler perched on a branch also being exceedingly round.

Believe in your art, bbs. 🎨🎭🖌️
Don’t let anyone gaslight you into thinking it isn’t important.
I didn’t think my art had value for the longest time, but I eventually learned.
Keep expressing yourself creatively. It can uplift and inspire those who need it and unsettle those who deserve to be.
BE KIND, BE INVOLVED, AND BELIEVE IN YOUR ART IN A TIME WHERE PEOPLE TELL YOU ART IS NOT IMPORTANT. THAT IS ALWAYS THE PRELUDE TO FASCISM. ALWAYS. WHEN THEY TELL YOU IT DOESN'T MATTER, WHEN THEY TELL YOU A F***ING APP CAN DO ART. YOU KNOW, YOU SAY, WELL, IF IT'S THAT EASY AND IF IT'S THAT UNIMPORTANT, WHY THE F*** DO THEY WANT IT SO BAD? AND THE ANSWER IS BECAUSE THEY THINK THEY CAN DEBASE EVERYTHING THAT MAKES US A LITTLE BETTER, A LITTLE MORE HUMAN. GUILLERMO DEL TORO REMINDS US WHY ART MATTERS
