a ramble about creativity 

it makes me full of sorrow when I read comments or replies to painting process videos online that read like "omg that's magic!"

I can understand watching a sped-up video makes it SEEM like magic, but I swear painting is something YOU can learn!

it's not an unknowable random force!

drawing, singing, dancing, whatever, you can LEARN how to do it!

Please don't ever assume something creative is out of your reach just because you don't know how

Sorting my bookmarks on pixiv and I now have a "girls_im_gay_for" tag and a "boys_im_gay_for" tag. Ah, being nb :nbflag_crossbow:

I feel like this thread should probably be tagged "spider discourse."

In conclusion, we ought wipe spiders off the face of the earth so I never have to see a spider again, picture or live. Thank you.

Update: CWing your spiders won't help if you do it in another language. I learned this the hard way after clicking the image on a post CW'd in Japanese.
(Not that it would help in english anyways. I have too much of a "click show more" instinct.)

Subtoot, Cw meta (lighthearted, though still serious) 

Argue all you will about what politics should and shouldn't be CW'd, but some things should always be CW'd. Pictures of spiders are one such thing.

Love,

Hey, periodic PSA that you don't have to be human!

It may be the default, but it's just that – a default. If it doesn't fit you, throw it away! I'm a wolf myself.

And I was once human. You don't have to have Always Been nonhuman to one day decide something else fits you better.

CWs, meta 

This probably doesn't need to be said, but if you're asked to CW something and actively refuse or make fun of the request, then keep in mind that there's gonna be a number of people silently blocking you

Especially since we all already have so much horrible shit in the world to keep up with lately, it shouldn't be a ridiculous idea to be able to approach things at our own pace/avoid things that might be triggering, it's one of the reasons this site's supposed to be better than Twitter
