Scissor Wizard and Paper Wizard
It’s probably fine to leave them alone together.
hEY CREATIVES!
Are you stuck scrolling through reddit, twitter, tumblr, tiktok, any media site that gets money from the attention that you give it by granting you little scraps of dopamine whenever you actually find something genuine throughout the mundane?
I need you to pull up a playlist, any playlist. It can be an oc playlist, your world building playlist, mood playlist, etc.
Second, grab your notebook or sketchbook.
Third, get comfy somewhere, like the couch, your partner’s bed, etc (blankets and snacks may be crucial)
LASTLY, start your playlist and place your phone face down and just
Be bored. With your music. For 15 minutes.
Don’t pick up your phone, let your mind wander, and see where it takes you.
Take notes
glad that im not popular enough to have an evil shadow version of my blog that exists just to make contradictions on my posts
Aliko Dangote, the richest man in Africa, has been tormented by a Brazilian man named Osvaldo for the last several years.
The best piece of advice I ever got was not meant as advice, but as an edict. If I was going to threaten people as a joke, it had to be so far out of proportion with what happened that it would be obvious I was joking. This changed how I expressed frustration with others. It then changed how I expressed frustration with myself.
Not “I’m going to hit you” but “I am going to buy a tuna sub from the gas station and hide it under the seat of your car”
Not “I’m going to kill myself” but “I am going to walk into the desert and let the scarabs take me”
The other side then happened. When I mess something up, instead of saying it’s bad and perpetuating negative thoughts, swing hard the other way.
Not “this art is terrible” but “this shall be framed and mounted on the wall in my museum exhibition as testament to the suffering I had to overcome”
Have been doing this since high school. It was my drama teacher who asked me to please stop scaring the actors. The other half of the edict was that I had to say it in a polite tone, and end it with either please or thank you.
Life changing. 10/10 Mr Muëller. Highly reccomend.
People on twitter arguing that Disney owns so many things it’s “““impossible”““ to boycott them when they still only own a bunch of entertainment and media brands. How does anyone not know about things like 123movies or kimcartoon. No you won’t get viruses or malware, no you won’t go to jail, stop spending money on moving pictures that hundreds of people have already uploaded for free, come on, this is ridiculous. If it kills the industries, let it. They’re too big. They’ve already made so much shit that you can never watch it all in one lifetime. Nobody needs more actually.
