![A text post, written:
I am so tired of youtube videos titled "Explaining [xyz]" and instead of talking about mysteries, or theories, or lore about a film
They go scene by scene and describe the movie.
Like, I would watch the movie if that's what I wanted.
IF I see this shit again I'm going to report the video for copyright, bc that's what you're doing, trying to replace the film by describing it like a 3rd grader who wants to be taken so seriously they copy a fantasy novel word for word and pretend they wrote it. Could you put in any less effort? It's so stupid.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:pbl3qh6jutb6ehaaa5elmqh5/bafkreieq2jgxupm4eawbdkpbckuhylppxnqah33sp7fwagguqdaivach7a@jpeg)

If you've known me in my private life, you probably know how insufferable I've been about this project.
The fact that its almost done, and I'm making thumbnails for it, is wild to me.

I was in a complete slump today, felt like nothing was right, didn't want to do anything. A friend suggested I just draw something.
So I unprompted drew, and colored, and was immensely happier. It's important to Express a who you are,
Like how art is who I am.

I remember when I excitedly posted a grainy shitty and horribly put together yugioh card
In a server with people who made nearly perfect/lossless cards.
When I cut out parts of cards and stitched them together.
But after a lot of trial and error I got work I'm more than proud of.
Never stop making.

30 days of Japanese lessons. I can't believe I've never been dedicated to a month straight of learning. But now I'm going for 100 straight days, and soon enough I'll be translating my own damned media, lol.

Design work is legit fun. I got to design this logo for my beautiful fiance.
Its still a work in progress, I'm nowhere near done, but getting to apply what I've learned in a non-school setting feels so good.

I agree the charter uses violent language and isn't calling for peace. I don't think 29 years abrupt; in 2010, it was considered outdated, just unchangeable (says on the wiki); it changed in 2017 to be more relevant.
I still need more information, but it's not a bad starting point. I'll keep reading

The most nerve-wracking part of design.
"Did I fuck everything up?" But for the 18th time!

Today's design tip:
DONT BE AFRAID OF WHITE SPACE!!
A design is defined by the space between the elements.
Don't clump everything together, give it room to breath.
I promise its going to look better. (See image 1 v.s. image 2)
