It feels genuinely ridiculous having to say this, but the point of art is to connect with another human. Someone thought of that painting or melodic line or scene or paragraph that is suddenly making you weep, and that means that they saw you and understood you without even meeting you.

Going to work now feels like doing homework after the teacher quit and told the class that education is fake. Everyone just coasting on inertia and hoping there's still a point to all this

I don't want to be nostalgic anymore. I'm tired of being catered to. I don't want to forever hear the same artistic voices I heard in my youth, now amplified, slowed and reverbed for dramatic effect. I want new worlds. I want new stories. I want new voices. Please!

i want to know that the people i watch are real actors. i want to know that the words i'm reading were written by an author. i want to know that the strokes on a canvas were painted by a real human. i simply refuse to believe that the vast majority of people do not also feel this way

To all artists around the world. Don't forget the OC you created when you were 12! Remake them! Give them a modern update! That character is practically your firstborn. So dig up that fossil and polish it.

What's amazing is that you know for absolute certain that within a few years, you'll see the medical gofundmes and obituaries of the writers and artists who made this movie possible in the first place. Much sooner, you'll see such as half the VFX studio laid off through an email.

A man says "I drew a picture." Another man reviews it and says "hey, that's great!" He then tosses it behind him on a large pile of indistinct garbage. We zoom out to see that the gigantic pile of garbage towers above them. It has a big sign on it labelled "content."

kind of a half-baked thought here but it's a shame criticism as a paid professional discipline has been sidelined by social media because it could point the way forward out of the internet madness-induced problem of writing that's crouched in what the author anticipates a comments section will say

What really makes me mad is there is so much creativity in having limitations and finding ways to work within and around them. Not having the money or time to do the thing you envisioned, and finding the novel shortcuts, the weird jams that make up *your fucking style*

it's sooo funny that the marvel movies eventually replicated the exact thing people disliked about the comics and preferred the movies for: overstuffed event crossovers that intimidate readers, demand you look at a whole bunch of other shit to know the story, and don't even tell a good story

When Jack Kirby said "Comics will break your heart" he was talking about the comics industry and the capitalists that run it But Comics (juxtaposed pictorial and other images in deliberate sequence, intended to convey information and/or produce an aesthetic response in the viewer) are your friend

I am not made for Capitalism. Every relationship I have feels cheapened and dehumanized by the exchange of money. Everything becomes a hollow experience because it is meted out by an arbitrary quantification of worth. It makes me feel as if the only true emotion or relational value is exploitation
