And then there’s me who has long given up the prospect of pursuing art as a career and doing sth else entirely (tho optimisable with my other skills). But then it’s dearth of me-time and third spaces outside of work that renders me unable to create, as I am, for myself and my passions.

Totally agreed,,can’t put to words the feelings I’m feeling when seeing my art friends willingly (or forced to?) submit to marketable trends on social media and making stuff that solely ensures capitalisable traction,,

The way the word “cOmmUnist” is thrown around without regard nor an ounce of validity,,,idk if anything this is basically the Cold War mindset operating in its very primitive form

And I do agree that actual communism (per doctrine) is debatable, but I’d primarily blame the conservative rights for just antagonising any other ideologies that is not of their own - not even centrists were spared

The way socialism (not even communism) is villainised as left by the conservatives just because it threatens a TEENY bit of the wealth of the rich and privileged

:p

he can speak German between my legs idc

THAT BULGE HAS VOLUME

I bet only a small portion would “mind” someone doing tertiary creation under their own - that’s pretty rare for what I know. But yeah despite all this, overcoming that self-imposed mental hurdle is still a real struggle, so I feel you

Personally I think most of people, having participated for free, are more delighted than not to see someone making a fanfic under their art (or me drawing for this fanfic) cuz if anything that indicates their work being appreciated, and that’s pretty much what keeps us going!

So true, fun fact I did want to write in Chinese (mother tongue) when I was younger, but then I got so much discouragements that English became my refuge instead
