Also this is why people take classes. You’re all gonna start off wonky, but everyone is there to mutually benefit each other’s growth with direction and intention. That’s not the same thing as exposing your growth to strangers who aren’t invested in you as a person or an artist.

This is such a bad take I had to block the person no matter how many smart people I like follow them lmao

This is presumes that all creative output must be availed to the public. This is stupid. You do not owe everyone a behind-the-scenes look at your development if you don’t want to.

Self-consciousness about your art feels unpleasant, but it means your tastes are growing. Your personal taste as it guides your work is kind of an essential part of being an artist. Practice builds your skills and your point of view! You want to develop the Artist’s Hand *and* the Eye, so to speak.

When I say my two cats are very different, this is what I mean.

Pancakes: laser-focused on the ball, alert, 100% in lethal hunting mode

Truffles: paws mournfully at… where the ball isn’t

Sorry to everyone who thinks there should be fewer romances involving grief, but we all just lived through a mass death/disabling historical event with absolutely zero public rhetoric about it (or the fact that it’s ongoing) and grief romances is one big way we’re all Working That Out

We've got the energy, focus, & motivation we have today. No more; no less. No shame or "should" is going to change it.

Thing is: we CAN do the trauma recovery basics-- self-compassion, self-acceptance, patience, & authenticity-- no matter how much bandwidth we do or don't have.

Deep Engagement

For when you’ve got the energy to write more.

Call out multiple details you enjoyed.
Connect it to canon or other fics you’ve read.
Write your commentary as you read along.

I’m a PASSIONATE fanfic commenter, but sometimes it slows me down because I feel like I need to leave long notes. But, as an author, I know even a short comment matters. So I made a guide to make it easier. Hopefully this helps someone else too! #fanfiction #fanfic #leaveacomment #harrypotterfanfic

They say lunar eclipse stories play out 6 months and solar eclipses play out a year.

Saturn in Pisces (institutions/limits in a watery, boundary-blurry sign) systems trying to enforce limits even as things are emotionally saturated and unclear.

This eclipse season is a lot heavier than most. Solar eclipse Virgo this Sunday is in opposition to both Saturn in Pisces and Neptune in Aries

Saturn & Neptune themes show up as authority vs. illusion.

introducing one of the characters for ‘War and the Maiden’, my comic for this year’s @shortboxcomicsfair.bsky.social:

WAR ❤️‍🔥⚔️
More than human but not quite godly, the personification of War is an ageless, unrepentant figure waiting for the Maiden in the library at the end of the world.

If you feel depleted or weighed down, give yourself permission to hit the hay early, or take it easy if it’s still daytime in your timezone when this aspect perfects. The good news, is that the Moon is now free from the malefics as we head into Monday!

The Moon closes the day with a square to Saturn in Pisces which kind of underscores the weight of the enclosure, bringing the themes of responsibility, limitation or even fatigue to the forefront.

next several hours. These “malefic besiegement” periods can often feel tense or heavy, where ease is harder to come by and our emotional resilience is tested. So, make sure to give yourself, and others, a little more space and patience during this time.
