WARNING do NOT start reading books and comics or watching movies or looking at art!!! you will start wanting to create art yourself. or god forbid. writing.

discipline is really just remembering who you said you wanted to be.

The last of the classically trained tumblrinas

the problem with personality tests and other similar quizzes is that they assume you know things about yourself. Which is simply not true

grisps you by the collar unless you don't like that in which case I'm holding you in place with my non-tactile mind beam. look, if you want to successfully analyze artworks then you have to make the active decision to assume that all the creative choices were deliberate and that the artist wasn't just asleep at the wheel tossing things in all willy nilly. if something doesn't make sense to you then your first port of call shouldn't be to declare "this doesn't make sense," it should be to play around with it and consider if there is a way in which it might make sense, try to see what it's currently doing successfully rather than what you think it ought to be doing but is failing at. the secret to getting a stable lens on the whole work is very likely to be hidden in that one weird part that looks like it makes the least sense. WE ARE ON THE SIDE OF ART.

I think the hottest thing a woman can be is a weirdo

you relapsed on yearning again didn’t you

I love you characters who try so hard to avoid becoming one specific thing that they end up becoming something arguably worse. I love you characters with backwards development. I love you characters whose ideals dissolve over time. I love you characters who start out bright-eyed and end their stories with several important pieces missing.
