assignment for my comics class, might redo this but without the constraints we had sometime
as funny as it is to say, "there's no such thing as a fish" is not actually true
"science doesn't know what a fish is" is really not true
"fish" is not a monophyletic category. there is no common ancestor of everything that we call a "fish," and none of the things that we don't
"fish" is a paraphyletic category -- and a useful one! marine biologists use it! "fish" describes a general body plan and lifestyle. it is useful to be able to talk about coelacanths and tuna in a shared category, though coelacanths are more closely related to us than to tuna.
where this bugs me is the repetition of the idea that "scientists" are hidebound and uncreative, unable to comprehend anything that doesn't conform to a specific idea of categorization -- when this is fundamentally untrue! we know perfectly well what a "fish" is. the fact that it's a paraphyletic group is only confounding to pop science, as a funny factoid, not to anyone who actually understands what a paraphyletic group is.
Something very discouraging I keep seeing happen over and over again is how quick transfems of colour are thrown under the bus once they stop serving their purpose as a rethorical talking point. It really sucks witnessing supposedly leftist white transfems calling for solidarity between us but immediately turning around calling their brown sisters disruptive and self righteous when they rightfully point out something racist that was said.
I don't know it's just very alienating knowing brown trans women will be dropped and singled out as being pick me girls for transmisogynists the second they start talking about racism within the community. It's deeply frustrating.

“ITS NOT FAIR HOW DID PEWDIEPIE GET SO GOOD AT ART SO FAST IN JUST A YEAR WHEN IVE BEEN DRAWING LONGER THAN HIM AND MY ART LOOKS WORSE”
im gunna say this as gently as i can, in order to improve your art, you have to put actual effort into doing so aside from simply “drawing everyday.” Drawing every day is good advice and has lots of benefit, but unless you are engaging in constructive practices while you’re doing that daily drawing, your art WILL remain stagnant.
Engage in critique with your artist friends of a higher skill level on what you could improve on, watch videos about art and how to improve your art.
study artists you like and pick apart exactly what about their art is appealing to you personally and apply that to your work. Contrary to popular belief, art does actually require lots of effort to become good at.
Theres plenty of resources out there. USE THEM.

Any tips for not falling into permanent despair?
I suppose remembering that there is no greater act of defiance that living a full life
whatever... go my dj (with a phd)
eclectic taste (not to be confused with good taste) is the only thing you actually need to be a good artist. i don't care if you like the right things, i literally only care abt the multitude of experiences and practices you have ingested.
