Just taking it easy with MWM today--it's Slow Constructed--and got to play my The Mul the Burier deck, outfitted with my new JP-art Muldrotha, which is pretty cool--I almost got to cast it, even, but I won by then, which is the issue with six-drops, in general these days--they're either winning the game on the spot or you've already won by that point. But we had some nice, relatively easy games and thankfully it wasn't tedious or annoying like the last Standard-ish MWM, where it was just the same, dumb decks over and over. I like this deck of mine in particular cuz you get to play a bunch of oddball cards, including playing that Ancestral Recall Emeritus--I got to cast Ancestral on the "flashback" even, which is always a cool feeling--including through a Kiora trigger, which they fixed: previously it'd stack the triggers so it'd exile before you could resolve Kiora, which then de-activates hers, but now it stacks it more sensibly, so you get both the 8/8 and the Ancestral, which I pulled off successfully. Such a neat card. Anyway, trying to get our next illustration done, and we made some good progress yesterday on a noodley bit--speaking of tedious--but there's still a lot left to do, but if we just keep chopping away at it, we should have it by this weekend, at least the lines, that is. Also learned I didn't get a certain thing and fortunately it's been mainly just a numb acceptance of this fact rather than an enraged bitterness, but I can certainly feel a touch of that settling in now. Everything is quite pointless. This was the closest I've gotten to crawling out of this hole, and it didn't pan out. Who knows when the next chance will be here. I don't know if I blew it or if they just had other options...it's funny, I was just listening to an FF7 cast panel and like right at that moment, they were talking about how you have to have mental fortitude to work in that industry, cuz it's 90% rejection, but, I mean...these guys--well, minus one notable exception, I guess--work regularly...they book a bunch of stuff...they have presence. I'm sure they struggle in various ways, but for the most part, they've made it. They're known, people want what they have, sure they have to fight for their roles and stuff, I'm sure, but I am confident they don't have to claw for everything now when nobody knew who they were or what they could do. It's just no longer terribly inspirational, but more deflating--artists' tales of trials and triumph. When I was younger, it was like--that could be me some day. Now it's like...why hasn't that been me? They always say stuff like, just stick with it and something will click...dude...when is it going to click? Don't give me that Morgan Freeman inspirational story stuff, either...I don't want to "make it" when I'm a geezer...I'm not doing this for fun...it's the only thing I can do. It's all I got, man. That's what makes it so easy to be bitter...it's like...I've put in the hours...if you were to compile all the hours alone working, training, drawing...how many months or even years of my life have just gone into nothing? It's a bit frightening to think of.
