Inktober seems like a really good place to apply the idea of rules as resources and not restrictions
the ink thing is there because the founder of the event found it useful to put it there
if you find it useful too, great! ...but if you don't, revise it, remix it, or reject it
make of Inktober something that helps you
@troubleMoney @mavica my browser history seems to autocomplete inktober.com so apparently? one Jake Parker is credited as the originator on the FAQ there
the site seems to have backed off on the "but ~ink~ is the ~true meaning~ of tober" thing, judging by the same FAQ
