something i’ve learned in fandom spaces is you gotta have a moment of going “oh my god who the hell cares” and not worry about stuff that isn’t like, someone being nasty and bigoted. 90% of the time it’s not worth it.

Artists: - Likes do not determine your value - It's okay to not create - Not everything you make has to be important or good - You can make things just for yourself - You're allowed to rest - You're so much more than what you make

message for new artists, old ones, literally anyone trying to figure out life: it's cool and good actually to try stuff even if you know you'll be bad at it. it's not cringe, it's cool as hell, and it's quite literally VERY GOOD for you. the only way to get experienced is to start inexperienced

saw someone posting the other day "how long should i work on learning art before i try comics/manga/animation" and the answer is zero seconds. just fucking start making what you want to make even if it looks like shit, how do you think you learn to make it not look like shit? doing is learning. go!

I don't know who needs to hear this, but... comics, as a medium, is not "easier to read" than prose, and acting like children who prefer comics to prose books are dumbasses is a manifestation of the worst kind of Puritan-work-ethic authoritarianism
