Neve how could you
Rachel Maksy gets a lot of hate for her slapdash methods (which I understand in a way, some of her techniques make me viscerally cringe). But as a recovering perfectionist I find watching her process fascinating, edifying, almost aspirational in a way?
My method is so painstaking and I hold myself back a lot for fear of not doing a thing """"the right way""""" or choosing the absolute """"""best""""" techniques materials etc. Which makes my progress so torturously slow and mentally exhausting that it kills the joy. Not to mention results in a lot of unfinished projects because I can't bring myself to face the insurmountable hurdle of how to finish it off perfectly.
And then there's Rachel Maksy who brings a project together with half a tutorial, unfinished seams, and a pound of hot glue... And ends up with a finished product that looks good! (Or good enough, which is by definition good enough). And it's fine? She does it """"wrong"""""" and there are no penalties?? The end product is imperfect and that's ok???
Idk. I just like her videos and appreciate the chance to learn from her process

I've seen several cases where people are like "what happens if we meet aliens, and then they see Independence Day or War of the Worlds?"
But nobody seems to think about what happens when the aliens see Star Trek.
The aliens are gonna see these shows made by a bunch of humans but they put putty on some of the humans to make them look like what we think aliens might look like, and we told stories about how those aliens would be our friends and we'd explore the universe with them and find more aliens and try to be friends with them too!
Yeah sometimes they'd be mean and we'd fight but we'd always try to avoid it and even if we fought we'd try to be friends later.
We basically created 900 episodes of a child's drawing of a stick figure of a human and a stick figure of a grey alien holding hands and "best friends" written in crayon.
