It is getting harder to see it these days, but I always hold on to this quote from Samwise in LOTR: "There's some good in this world, Mr. Frodo, and it's worth fighting for."
An image of Samwise Gamgee - the real OG - from the LOTR movies. "I know. It's all wrong. By rights we shouldn't even be here. But we are. It's like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger, they were. And sometimes you didn't want to know the end. Because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it's only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you. That meant something, even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back, only they didn't. They kept going. Because they were holding on to something." ~Samwise Gamgee

Wish I could internalize this
brightwanderer I think a lot about how we as a culture have turned "forever" into the only acceptable definition of success. Like... if you open a coffee shop and run it for a while and it makes you happy but then stuff gets too expensive and stressful and you want to do something else so you close it, it's a "failed" business. If you write a book or two, then decide that you don't actually want to keep doing that, you're a "failed" writer. If you marry someone, and that marriage is good for a while, and then stops working and you get divorced, it's a "failed" marriage. The only acceptable "win condition" is "you keep doing that thing forever". A friendship that lasts for a few years but then its time is done and you move on is considered less valuable or not a "real" friendship. A hobby that you do for a while and then are done with is a "phase" - or, alternatively, a "pity" that you don't do that thing any more. A fandom is "dying" because people have had a lot of fun with it but are now moving on to other things. I just think that something can be good, and also end, and that thing was still good. And it's okay to be sad that it ended, too. But the idea that anything that ends is automatically less than this hypothetical eternal state of success... I don't think that's doing us any good at all.

There's a reason why every fascist movement tries to destroy artists (this time it's via the enshittification via AI slop).

Art and creation are the opposite of hate and destruction. Art reminds us of our joy, our individuality, our history. Art always has value, but especially now.

It feels so dumb being an artist right now, especially when I don't make anything super meaningful. I love what I do, it keeps me sane, and pays my bills. But like people are out there getting terrorized and I'm here like buy my trinkets, cause... they're pretty 🫤

I visited my friend last week and to my surprise, they told me that the kid I drew this dinosaur illustration for is still drawing now and then to this day!

That made my day.

Keep being creative, you can inspire the next generation about the value and love of being creative ❤️

I been invited to a friend's place and one kid was doing AI on their tablet. Told them that it's bad and the father asked me why. Explained and also said real art have more soul.

He wanted to make a dinosaur playing basket-ball, I drew this for him. They loved it so much, the dad paid me in the end
A traditional illustration of an anthropomorphic dinosaur playing basket-ball. He looks at the viewer while playing. The result of an illustration I did for a kid while explaining why this is better than the AI art they tried to do on their tablet.

Also, congratulations everyone who made something this year. A comic, a song, a film, a novel, a painting, a poem, a short story, a sculpture, crochet, embroidery, whatever it is. In this era of slop and theft, if you *make* something you are a shining jewel and I am so grateful for you.

Tumblr user nocryptographer: I talked with someone who works in book publishing, and they mentioned they get a lot of AI slop these days. I asked how they know what's human-written, and they said that there's one thing that will reveal AI slop without error, and that's the author not knowing their own creation. A real author can talk about their story for hours. They love to elaborate every character, every twist, every detail. Because those existed in their head long before they ever made it to the paper. They were loved before they were written. AI slop wasn't. It was just vomited into existence. Someone who generates their story with AI will never bond with their story the way real writers do. That's why they may not know what to say when they're asked why did the character do this, or even remember the scene in the first place. It's something they read, not something they wrote. And to a writer, those are not the same. There's a unique bond between the creator and the creation. If your writing doesn't come of you, you'll always lack that. I keep hearing soon we won't be able to tell. And perhaps, in a superficial sense, that's true. But there is a difference. It's not em dashes or repeated words. It's whether the story was made by someone who loves it and cares about it. If the writer's eyes light up when asked why did the character do that? and they start their very own Ted Talk about that specific scene... then it's real.

Not sure if many know, but considering it is Cybersecurity Awareness Month, this might just feel fitting.

If you ever come across a website that does a CloudFlare security prompt, and it asks you to "copy" something - DON'T. This is an attempt to get you to run malware. It's becoming more common.

Reskeet if you're old enough to remember when people thought his name was "Pikablu."

Grounded - Gator Days
Panel 1 Liam is lying on the ground. A spider, ants, butterfly, and bird are all doing various things around him. Panel 2 Gustopher approaches. He sees Liam lying on the ground. He wonders if he should ask Liam why he's on the ground. But then he comes up with a better idea. The spider, ants, butterfly, and bird are moving around. Panel 3 Liam and Gustopher are lying on the ground. The spider, ants, butterfly, and bird continue doing spider, ant, butterfly, and bird things. Peace. Panel 4 Hannah approaches and she is very confused about this whole ground situation. Hannah: What are you doing? Gustopher: Lying on the ground. Hannah: Why? Gustopher: I don't know. Liam: Me neither. The spider, ants, butterfly, and bird continue to exist.

Having now played through Celeste: I get it. Gods do I get it. This game is a masterpiece.

I couldn't have asked for a better way to play it either, and thanks to some generous donations to Trans Lifeline, we can maybe make sure a few less people perish on the climb.

My new profile pic - inspired by Akira Toriyama's title page for Dr. Slump chapter 1. I thought "What if I draw a bunch of twigs sticking out of my hair??" and then I had this epiphany.
Half-realistic / half-cartoony face with four Twigs (the character's name is Twig) hanging off of it. Title page for chapter 1 of Akira Toriyama's Dr. Slump. It features Senbei Norimaki making a goofy expression as four Arales hang off of his face.
