I posted this on Twitter many years ago, but I am going to put it here now so I don't have to send traffic to what that site has become. HOW TO PUT ON A DUVET COVER. See 1st reply for the rest of the illustrations.

Was i the only child who got incredibly mad that the Geronimo Stilton series clearly got worse over time? The books stopped having individual, full plots around the same time the illustrations became smoother and less detailed

It would be one thing if you work as an animator and someone comes up to you with a pristine bit of Disney magic provided by a prompt and says you don’t have a job, that would be terrible but you could see the cruel mercenary nature of it, but it’s like your boss comes up to you and shows you this

It's very funny that my parents think that just because I'm having problems in my life now, they're on the brink of getting me back. Like no I'm still a weird mentally ill freak, that ship sailed when I was 11.

I have too many weird sex dreams. Too many weird sex dreams that don't even feel good.

Isn't it funny how the art pieces you love most right when you finish them are the ones you end up hating later on? Suddenly you get embarrassed that you were so proud of it because now you see all the flaws. Or maybe that's just me.

My art process is not at all suited to non-mutable, un-cover-upable mediums like ink or watercolor, yet I cannot stop using colorful permanent inks. Help

The birds are the preferred wrasslin toy of Theodosius Magnus, Fortunatus, Augustus, et Pius. Get your cat the toy fit for an emperor.
I am not doing a special sale in my shop this weekend because everything is already at cost, I’m not able to ship until next week, and I didn’t make some of the extra stuff I intended. But cat toys and goat totes are available! Bookmarks! A couple of original paintings!

This is an excellent summary of how "the author getting paid" works for traditional publishing! To which I'll add: it is super common for books (especially genre fiction) to not "earn out" the advance, so a lot of writers learn to not count on royalty money ever happening.
I'm going to do a little thread on how the money from books works for traditionally published authors because people have questions, and this is always useful info to share IMO. First, a big disclaimer that every contract is different, and there are a million factors that can change things. 1/

One personally frustrating thing about the big AI push is that it forces people to assess it in a hurry, which makes people careless. It kinda smells like a scam to me if someone’s hurrying you along, cultivating urgency in you, well before you know where they’re taking you.

I think the stories I was telling myself about my art being deeply spiritually and magically tied to my life were actually completely correct and my "growing up" and becoming obsessed with existing in the "real world" was just denial that's been killing me

I feel like I wanna be a nun but without the Catholic part. Or at least make it a religion I can actually believe in.
