What if 'easy' is what got us here?

I only use the word 'epic' in the literary sense. Yes, I am built different than you.

Cthonius Monk @cthoniusmonk.bsky.social · 13d

Can the art that hooks you, catch you at all if your answers are not already within you to resonate with the art you find? What do you NEED from what you consume? Think about it.

Cthonius Monk @cthoniusmonk.bsky.social · 13d

The consumer/viewer/reader doesn't want the answers. They want the questions to continue, but are constantly in "answer searching mode". How many are actually exploring internally to understand why? What answers are you seeking from the art that catches you? What do you think you will find?

Cthonius Monk @cthoniusmonk.bsky.social · 13d

IF you're an artist, creating, then I think it's a different story. But if you are a habitual consumer, it is as much your responsibility to try and understand why you consume the art and/or content that you do, as it is the artist's to create what is true in their hearts.

Cthonius Monk @cthoniusmonk.bsky.social · 13d

Why do people FEEL that what they WANT is what should be created? All of the best things didn't exist to be wanted until the artists came together to create it. Think Bloodborne. No one knew they wanted it till it existed, then they think they want Bloodborne2... I'm not so sure.

It still surprises me how shocked (offended) people by an "To be continued". Western TV has trained people to expect a satisfactory amount of questions be answered before each episode ends. I know it's what they FEEL they want, but what they want isn't how these stories exist.

Beefed up my resume a bit and got a staj (tryout) at a very nice restaurant in a very nice nearby town tonight. Did anyone order some... performance anxiety?
