hey, I went to Mad At You Island and it wasn't empty. there was a stranger you were a bit curt with on a bad day, an old friend who you got into a falling out with, a labmate who's experiment you messed up by mistake, someone who's birthday you forgot, an internet stranger who is hellbent on deciding you're not morally good enough for not reblogging a post or not following a one day boycott. and it is kind of mortifying to realise that Mad At You Island will never be uninhabited, but it's just a fact of life. and if you try to reduce the population to zero, you'll end up whittling yourself down to nothing

I think one of the best things you can do as any kind of creative is to draw more inspiration from things completely outside of your artistic medium

(with the enthusiasm of a sigma grindset guy telling you to get a side hustle) you gotta be waking up and saying stuff like "this chinese shadow puppet play really makes me want to write a ttrpg"
