how it all feels lately

in 2026 DO NOT ask yourself whether your art is GOOD

instead ask:

• is it SINCERE
• was it CATHARTIC
• was it FUN TO MAKE
• is it MADE BY ME

and don't forget to stay silly

tragic: character that got you interested in a piece of media doesn't really act anything like the fandom led you to believe

tragic: ship that got you interested in a piece of media have much less screentime together than the fandom led you to believe

Hey, it’s me, your English teacher from the beginning of the movie who read a passage that would become thematically relevant later while you stared longingly out the window. I noticed since you came back from your magical quest you’ve been even more listless that usual. Yeah I know about that. We usually have about one or two every semester, so I try to cater my curriculum to the current supernatural crisis so you can remember some appropriate words from classic literature at the right moment in the plot. It’s kind of a thankless job but the world’s still here so I’m not doing too bad haha. That was a joke you can laugh. Anyway I know I’ve kind of taken on a mentor role for you because of your lack of stable father figure but just wanted to let you know that I am a mandated reporter so please don’t tell me if you’re thinking about killing yourself
