Something I learned is if you don't step out of your artistic comfort zone a little, you're gonna be even more exhausted with making art. Your mind is a caged tiger and it needs to attack something new from time to time. Your mind is pacing in its enclosure π
If you don't like drawing figures and poses because they're frustrating, draw figures and poses and get frustrated! Draw them! With anger! Swear and curse at them!
If you don't like drawing traditionally because there's too much room to make mistakes, draw traditionally and make mistakes! Scream while doing it! Put on scary music! Make it silly!
This goes for any kind of craft or skill
You stand to lose nothing in the end (Except maybe your own patience and sanity but that's temporary). But you do gain at least a little bit more knowledge and skill to feed your mind tiger

Do we keep every person we meet inside of us? Do we keep inside this huge indefinite mass of all the voices we heard in a lifetime? Do they rule us or do we rule them? Iβve been wondering if itβs good to filter out some automatic integrations we sometimes make.
Actually, I have to say a bit more about the Hungarian elections. Even tho I know the hype is mostly died down now. Many people posted about it, about how it's just about going out and voting and it's all just kumbaya from there (also including my post from the night of the election) but that is not actually true.
There were many factors that played into this landslide victory, that would probably be hard to replicate in other countries, but I will still lay it out, in case this is useful to anyone in countries in similar situations.
PΓ©ter Magyar was an insider
He was a Fidesz (OrbΓ‘n's party) insider, he is actually the ex-husband of a former minister, though he didn't hold any prominent positions before. This is important, because it made it a lot harder for the government to get an angle on him. They couldn't really say that he's a buffoon or corrupt or any other shit they smeared the 'traditional' opposition with, because that would all come back to them.
And this means that you can't let someone's background cloud your vision. You have to listen, even if you don't like where they came from.
2. He was extremely tight lipped about important issues during the campaign
Hungary is a relatively conservative country. That doesn't mean that there aren't a lot of people with leftist values, but - especially after 16 years of constant conservative propaganda poisoning society against progressive values - you just can't get wide support if you get caught up in hot-button issues. Let's take Pride for example. OrbΓ‘n tried to ban Budapest Pride after a long anti-LGBT campaign, and Magyar got a lot of criticism from opposition media for not taking a stand on the issue, even after the Pride was held despite the ban - and was the largest Pride in my country's history.
LGBT issues are important to me, and they are important to a lot of left leaning people, but the reality is that it's not important to (or are even negatively viewed by) a large part of the population.
In most countries - ESPECIALLY when people in power turned LGBT rights into a poisoned pill - you can't win an election if you get 'branded' with being a SJW. And yeah, it made my hackles rise that he didn't give a clear answer about it, only that under his leadership everyone in the country would have the right to protest and right to assembly.
Was that enough? No. Was that more than what we got from OrbΓ‘n? Yes.
It was only an incrementally better stance than OrbΓ‘n's, but it WAS better.
3. Magyar put huge emphasis on rural voters and on getting national symbols back from the far right
The opposition of most authoritarians is concentrated in urban areas. It's much easier to develop more progressive leaning values if you are constantly exposed to people of different cultures and lifestyles than your own, but that is not the case in rural areas, especially if the government has huge media presence that feeds more isolated people fear and propaganda.
PΓ©ter Magyar went on a giant campaign, holding civic meetings in sometimes bigger, sometimes tiny towns. He wasn't afraid to get close to people. Much of his first such campaigns was largely spent with him talking to people from the back of a pickup (hastily spraypainted our national colors) and answering their questions directly.
Like, literally.
He met hundreds of thousands of voters face-to-face.
By the end of his campaign, he held up to four or five such meetings a day all over the country. He'd been in bigger cities multiple times, he'd been in every voting district. His last tour had more than 500 stops. And this is a tiny country.
What I want to say with this is that, you can't do this without a) putting in the fucking work, and b) leaving the population centers, where your supporters already are.
He and his team also had a very good sense for marketing shit. In pretty much every country I know of, the far right is always fucking appropriating national/folk symbolism, and they'd been great about claiming them back, and giving people a common ground. Like his party's theme song is a very popular Hungarian folk song. That sort of shit.
4. Top notch investigative journalism
PΓ©ter Magyar's whole bid for power started with a scandal that came from investigative journalists. The details are not important now, but one of the 'pawns' that OrbΓ‘n decided to sacrifice to calm the public was Magyar's ex-wife. That was what started this whole thing, what made him turn against his former community. And during the last years - and especially during the last weeks before the election - the remaining independent media kept coming out with more and more major scandals. You have to keep supporting independent media, or the opportunity may never come to change your government.
I could go on for a lot longer, but tumblr is telling me that this post is getting too long lol. Anyway.
My general point still stands. If your house is on fire, you canβt be like βwell thatβs not the fireman I imaginedβ. Even if it's a bit more complex than that.

If your lover lives in Hong Kong and cannot get to Chicago, it will be necessary for you to go to Hong Kong. Perhaps you will spend your life there, and never see Chicago again. And you will, I assure you, as long as space and time divide you from anyone you love, discover a great deal about shipping routes, airlines, earthquake, famine, disease, and war. And you will always know what time it is in Hong Kong, for you love someone who lives there. And love will simply have no choice but to go into battle with space and time and, furthermore, to win.

just saw a 'comments' tab on someones blog you know where the following and likes tabs would be if enabled and it was just showing all the replies theyve made on peoples posts. this is fascinating when did this feature come out
EMERGENCY - ITS AUTO ENABLED!
if you've made replies on posts there is now a tab on your blog showing every post youve replied to and your reply.
if this is not what you want, either go to your blog and click comments and disable it from there or just go to your individual blogs setting pages. just change it from blue to grey if you dont want everyone to see your replies AND the post you're replying to
PLEASE BE ADVISED that it is set to disabled for blogs that have not made any replies but it will turn ON if you reply with that blog in the future.! i just tested it with my main, which was greyed out but it turned on the moment i left a test reply
figured i'd get the word out bc i have not seen a single mention of this and i'm sure there are plenty of people who maybe comment on things they don't want on display for everyone to see on their blog lol. you can still look at your replies with it toggled off just no one else can, like locking the following and likes list
so for some reason this feature was actually announced on the tumblr engineering blog. interesting choice not to reblog it to the staff or tumblr blog, esp considering they asked for user input on how to implement it, but i suppose considering the response to the last update maybe the replies would be too overwhelming...
so couple of clarifications. comments are disabled as default for primary blogs that have their likes disabled. they are seemingly enabled for all other blogs that have replied to posts
posts you comment on may show on your followers 'for you' page if you leave your replies publically available. they may, in the future, show in on your followers dashboard if your follower goes to their dash settings and enables this. apparently, if your likes are enabled, your followers can already see those on the dash if they've gone into preferences and selected to do so, which I was unaware of, and that seems to be disabled at default, but it's possible i disabled it previously and forgot about it ig
Do you guys also have a friend who just seems to be perpetually trapped in the torture nexus? Because shout out to them, they deserve nice things too
