Man I wanna co-work some of my research for some of my mythology projects but I really don't wanna just sit there and work on shit. Like I know that's the point but I'd wanna make it more engaging, interesting, or motivational for people who join in but I have NO idea how do that.

I see a lot of posts saying that you need to be creative, you need to draw, defy the odds, yaddayadda. Hey. It's ok to be tired. It's ok to not be able to do much. It's ok to just sit on the couch and stare at the wall. Please drink some water. Take a shower if you can. It's ok.

Hot take (possibly) "Lore" is the worst thing to happen to media analysis in the last decade. The never ending search for having to explain every possible detail and outcome of a piece of media but then never engaging at more than a surface level is a pox on what makes art meaningful.

Call me naive or whatever But *do* think it's entirely possible people aren't informed about everything all of the time and we shouldn't kneejerk jump to admonish people who aren't plugged into every possible socio-political phenomenon at every moment. Some people just don't have the bandwidth.
