I’m going to try to write some more in the new year. No guarantees I’ll work on the one that wins first (the inspiration goes where it goes) but that’ll be my aim.

Superman: Red And Blue #05
This is great.
Superman is a man, raised by humans as a human to be a good person and moved by compassion and the need to do good in the world.
I wish this interpretation appeared more in movies and such
One quiet day on the farm, the Little Red Hen found some wheat seeds and decided to make bread.
"Who will help me plant these seeds?" the Little Red Hen asked.
"I would." said the Horse "But I'm a workhorse, and I'm too busy moving carts around."
And so the Little Red Hen planted the seeds by herself. And they grew into bountiful golden crops.
"Who will help me harvest the wheat?" the Little Red Hen asked.
"I would." said the Dog "But I'm a guarddog, and I'm too busy keeping away burglars and predators."
And so the Little Red Hen harvested the wheat herself and made it into flour.
"Who will help me bake the flour?" the Little Red Hen asked.
"I would." said the Pig "But I'm a mother of 5 newborn piglets, and I'm too busy taking care of my young."
And so the Little Red Hen baked the bread herself into twenty beautiful loaves.
"Who will help me eat the bread?" the Little Red Hen asked.
"We would." said the Farm Animals. "But we're ashamed, for we didn't do anything to make the bread."
"Nonsense!" said the Little Red Hen. "You, Horse, helped move around the stones that built my oven. You, Dog, kept me safe while I worked. And you, Pig, are raising a new generation of Farm Animals, who will too contribute to our Farm one day. You've all helped me so much by simply being you."
"Besides," the Little Red Hen added. "I couldn't possibly eat all the loaves on my own, most of them would go to waste. Come, eat with me."
And so the Little Red Hen and the Farm Animals ate the bread together. And all saw their own, and each other's, worth.

This healed a very old wound

I will never get over how weird it feels to have tragic and emotional chapters of your life where you just also still go to work, and the grocery store, and see funny videos online all while feeling such paralyzing fear and heartache
life just goes on no matter what
i like seeing like non-sexualized designs of "what if this character grew up" or "this older character in their younger years" it's literally so fucking cool to see
to
is so fucking raw i will never be able to visualize anything like this in my life but this eats so much
you know how it is with snow days
bonus:
why on earth is this getting notes again two years later?? and people are doubting me???
like i would joke about defenestrating myself at the ass crack of dawn as some sort of sadistic sacrifice to the snow gods for helping me get out of work, grow up

The lined paper blanket is finally done! It’s made to scale of a college ruled 8.5inx11in piece of paper.
No pattern used, it was entirely self drafted. This took me about 3 months to complete, working on it on and off. I probably put around 80 hours into this blanket so far, but that’s just a rough estimate.
We have to keep reblogging this so future historians will read it and puzzle endlessly over its meaning
The heavy implication that historical ‘abstract’ poetry that people have been analysing for ages without being able to conclude the meaning could have just been shitpost level in-jokes between poets is sending me.
This was funnier in my head.
If this was funnier in your head I have no idea how you’re still alive because I’m fucking dying.

Some of Van Gogh’s best work was done during a period of his life that he spent in a hospital being treated for his mental health problems. I could be wrong but I think Starry Night was among those.
This is consistently the case. Creators tend to do their best work when they are in a healthy place and receiving proper treatment and not being self destructive in their efforts to cope. Go figure.
All our experiences, good and bad, inform what we create, but suffering is not the price of great art. Suffering is what prevents artists from completing great art.
(I bring to mind this @tkingfisher / Ursula Verson quote about once a week <3)
i just got this comment over on twitter and honestly i think this is one of my favorite things that has ever been said to me about writing
truer words never spoken
I'm working on a WIP right now, getting approximate word counts for chapters, and some of them are twice the length of others... Most are 3- 4k, but one is over 7k, and another is barely 2k, lol!!!!! Do I just need to get better at editing? Who knows.
Pls rb for a larger sample size; I'm looking for general opinions here!
