Day 8 Of My Snarky Sarcastic Side Speaking Quotes From My Page-a-day Calendar!!

this is advice I've given friends directly before and I've probably also posted it but I really like giving it so here it is potentially again: do not create something for an imaginary bad faith reader.

there will always be someone who finds fault in your work. there will be people who read the messages on it wrong. there will be people who will take every compelling aspect about your work off of it so they can put in their own.

you cannot make art for these people.

you will never write a story that is free from criticism. you will never draw a piece that everyone finds appealing. you will never compose a song that everyone enjoys hearing. you cannot, fundamentally, set out to create something and only think of how you can avoid someone not liking it.

because, and this is key, there will be someone who sees every angle of your story and feels its intent in their heart and gushes to their friends about it. you will draw someone's favorite art and they will make it their phone wallpaper because they want to see it every day. someone will fall in love with your song and loop it on their way to work because it gets them through the day. and THOSE are the people your work is for. THOSE are the people you have to care about, because they love what you make for what it is - because it's itself.

if you set out to create something and file off every sharp edge, prune every thorn, you will be left with something fragile and weak, and it will be fragile and weak for the sake of someone who does not exist but that you were scared of anyway.

sharing art is complex and tangled and powerful, and anything you care enough to create deserves to flourish as itself. get sillay.

:333 I knew it

With absolutely no context I wanted to say:

I Told You So

Days 12-14 of my snarky sarcastic side speaking quotes from my page-a-day calendar!!

“Your breath is as bad as your personality.”

“Every second you’re alive is one less second that you will be alive.”

WHOOF. This weekend has been something. And judging by how the past few days have gone with my posts and doodles, I think it’s safe to say I’m going to start making weekly posts of these quote doodles. It’ll be less stress on me to make a post every day and also give me leeway if I fall behind a day but catch up the next.

Anyways, enough of my ramblings- enjoy my snarky gal! She looks so happy in the second one, I don’t know whether to be amused or concerned

Another WHOOF of a week. But I do quite like how most of these turned out! I’m on the home stretch now- I’ve decided I’m going to keep making these daily doodles until January ends, and then I’ll be cutting back on them. More about that in that post probably.

These quotes were a lot of fun. I personally feel the elevator one- that is me every single time, even when there’s nobody there. xD

Welp I’ve got a new response to people who drive me crazy

....i haven't heard of this until now

But honestly-............I don't Trend to support violence but this is funny- right?

OH MY GOD THIS FANDOM IS GOING TO BE THE DEATH OF MEEE HAHHAHAHA

10/10 this is impeccable I will start saying it so much you will all hate me for it kaksnnsnsb what else can I do ??? It's too good

I need to go to sleep but someone remind me to ramble about Scylla for 20 hours tomorrow

I’M WORKING ON IT, I SWEAR—

I keep hearing Thinder Bringer this and Thunder Bringer that but nothing about the BEST SONG IN THIS SAGA, Scylla. Legitimately, let's get some more people talking about Scylla because they killed it on this one.

My favorite Disney princess is mister jalapeño anyway

GUYS ITS FINALLY CONFIRMED

WAIT HOLD ON is that Circe’s motif at around 1:48 of suffering? When “Penelope” is talking about Scylla?

I can’t really tell, but if it is, oh my gosh!! That would be amazing and add yet another layer to the song! After all, in several versions of myth Circe was the one to transform Scylla into what she is now!! That would be a really neat Easter egg if it was-

Day 9 of my snarky sarcastic side speaking quotes from my page-a-day calendar!!

“I won’t even walk a mile in my own shoes.”

The calendar is taking quotes from the @ unspirational Instagram account by Elan Gale.

*WHOOF*. Today was a rough one for me. Unfun classes and laptop problems. :/ But I managed to scribble a doodle in time even so!

I knew what kinda pose I wanted to draw when I read the quote. This is the first one where she isn’t smiling! Also yes, those are compression socks :3
