I think it’s time to reread watchmen

the whole point of light yagami's character was that he was that he was a narcissist who believed he was cleansing the world from criminals while simultaneously becoming one because he believed he was above the law. there was no "logic". and to be perfectly clear, i am a big fan of the character. i just side eye when i see people defend his actions because no, his actions were not justified and that is quite literally the point of the story.

If you think what Light did was right, you fundamentally misunderstood the point of the story; congratulations! 

honestly, i think we get too caught up in accidentally, possibly ripping off someone else's ideas that we forget that we're all essentially copying each other. i know you mentioned that in your initial post, but we really need to stop focusing on what other people might think; bc it's impeding what's important- our own creativity. like honestly, if your design is a little similar to someone else's.......i'm not really sure it entirely matters. i've talked to friends about this, bc i've also worried about this and she made a good point: there are just some things that all forum things need and yeah, it's probably gonna look similar. who cares. people need to get their panties out of a twist and just enjoy the hobby. like we all fall prey to design trends, and that's ok! so sometimes skins or what have you might look a little similar to each other, doesn't mean anyone stole or ripped from another, and i think we spend too much time looking for reasons to get mad that we forget that we should be instead lifting and helping each other out instead of tearing each other down.

like leap is basically the progenitor of easily half of the current design trends, but you don't see them (at least publicly, i don't know them like that) getting mad that people copying their style of using big clean fonts, bold color, lots of pngs and typography. i've seen creators in their position in previous years who have made a stink about people being inspired by them, and it kinda just makes them look like a dick imo. being inspired by each other as artists is nothing to be ashamed of, and should be encouraged, as that's how we all develop and grow as designers. 

i'll get off the soap box now, i'm just oddly passionate about this lmao 

Me: makes good process on actually finishing a skin for once
Also me: starts a new one that I like better and want to completely scrap the old one

Not to be insufferable more than usual but I think one of my favorite things about the old Alice In Chains is that I feel like Layne Staley was able to accurately describe what depression feels like to me. Especially in songs like Nutshell, I can point to that song and be like “yes, that”. Anyway thank you for coming to my Ted Talk, Alice In Chains is the best of the big four imo 🤙

me thinking about mark hoffman

If I have another person talk down to me today I do think legally I’m allowed to start swinging

I hate writing plot pages, largely bc I feel like people don’t read them. I’ve had a lot more luck with wanted ads, tbh. But will I still make plot pages? Sure. Do I expect to get literally any responses? No, not really. It’s been my experience that I have to approach people with plot ideas, versus the other way around. I don’t know if that’s just bc I don’t write plot pages in a compelling way, or what, but it feels almost pointless 90% of the time. People can’t seem to be bothered to read other people’s apps, and I don’t think they read shippers much either.

omni-man is such a dilf

Remember when rp sites only had 100x100 icons for profiles? Me too 😭
