When I notice my dog is in REM while snoozing next to me, I will put my hand up to his nose so he can smell me in his dream. It usually gets him excited. <3

How it takes, say, the idea of a Kane Pixels long-running drip-fed narrow-focused lore event and spreads it over multiple bite-sized shows on multiple channels. Or condenses the multimedia approach of an ARG to something more easily palatable: an ever-shifting palette of shortform TV shows.

In a perfect world Blippo+ would be the vanguard for a new genre of game-adjacent interactive entertainment, akin to Interactive Fiction or Visual Novels before it. A Blippo+-esque framework into which entire faux-cable networks can be loaded.

Journey

You ramble over the wilderness, a bear or
a wolf, on the left a friend,
on the right one to watch. Eyes
give each other their flame and go out
when you meet. There was an event
so great that you study each other, but
so long ago that your shoulders forget
in a rain where later things grow.
You ramble home. What happened?
Nothing. But you study the floor.
Should you say, "I was a bear or
a wolf"? No, you can't.
But you were.

I have enough post-it note school doodles to make a collage :B 🗒️✏️ #BearHybridArt

A collection of post it note doodles. A grizzly catching a salmon, a howling wolf, a startled horse, a snoring brown bear, a dragon emitting smoke, scheming coyote, Kodiak bear wishing for fish, a snarling tiger, and a crybaby giraffe.

It’s really hard to describe to people who are not artists how survival mode does *not* inspire creativity, as the myth would have us believe. It suppresses creativity as you try to limit every possible risk – and the opportunities that come with them.

It turns out building habits and stuff actually requires not being in survival mode, who knew?!
(Yeah yeah I did)

Panel 1: A tiny fairy godmother from Cinderella is hovering in the air pointing her wand at a carriage in the background, with a teal primary color and gold trim. The general shape and decoration of the carriage seem to have a "rat" motif. The fair godmother says "Okay Cinderella, just to be TOTALLY CLEAR ... At the stroke of midnight, this magical carriage WILL turn back into a giant rat."

Panel 2: Cinderella, in her classic blue dress and blue headband, clasps her hands together in worry looking up at the fairy godmother, saying "OH NO!! Heaven forbid the PRINCE lays his eye on such vileness!"

Panel 3: The prince looks on as she's riding away on a giant rat into the moonlight, having dropped one of her dirty-ass sneakers in his courtyard. The prince is Shen also.

Panel 4: The prince says "that was really hot how she rode away on a giant rat."

Found this on the AO3 subreddit, and I'm about to let it change my whole life (or at least work really hard to internalize it wrt my writing).

Someone's screenshot of a two-post twitter thread, from user blue (@bluewmist):

the fastest way to kill motivation is to make your identity depend on the outcome. it's called ego involvement. when failing becomes failing as a person, your brain starts avoiding the whole thing. not because you don't care, but because you care too much.

you don't need lower standards. you need less self-worth tangled up in your goals. the work gets easier when it's not about proving who you are.

Had a dream a while back in which I discovered the existence of the "Grave of the Fireflies/Super Mario World 2-in-1" for the Wii. It basically functioned as a DVD except for a "special features" section that literally only had an SNES emulator playing Mario World. It went for absurd prices on eBay

The cover for a fake Wii game consisting of both the 1988 Studio Ghibli film, Grave of the Fireflies, and Super Mario World; both are represented on the cover, the former by the poster of Seita carrying his sister Setsuko across a field and the latter by the artwork of Mario wearing a cape and riding Yoshi. The cover promises "TWO classics in ONE!".
