Adora: When I Say I’m “feral” It Doesn’t Always Mean I’m Angry

dear parents.

if your child is crying that you took their phone, if your child is sad that you took their phone, don't. especially if they have depression or any mental illness, don't. no, you don't discipline them by this, you won't achieve anything. you won't achieve anything if you look through their phone, you're harming PRIVACY. They might have things in there that they were not ready to tell yet, might have things in there that they don't want to tell you and you have to respect that. If you don't respect your child, don't expect respect from them either.

Teacher : the five senses are smell, hear, feel, taste, and see

Me : I can hear pictures.

Teacher : you can’t hear pictures silly,

Me :

Gay Christian culture is having bouts of self loathing and internalized homophobia every couple of months

Wearing men’s deodorant and watching the straight girls I work with faces’ become Confused and Attracted because I smell like a Hot Guy™ (their words) is a bisexual power move and you can’t tell me otherwise.

Some tried and tested art tips <3

1. Don’t force inspiration, just immerse yourself in things you enjoy and it’ll come to you naturally.

2. Experimentation in different art techniques is a good way to find a style and medium you are comfortable working in. Be brave and try out stuff!

3. Every artist has a file/drawer/bin full of failed or embarrassing attempts. However much you want to destroy them, it’s good to keep a few of them so you can look back and see how far you’ve come! Or better yet, something you once hated could reveal itself in a new light and turn into something you love.

4. If you’ve hit a ‘block’ whilst working on something and you start feeling frustrated with it, either work on a completely different area of your artwork, or put it down and have a break from it. You’ll come back to the part you were struggling with and see it with a clearer head, and be ready to tackle it again. At least overnight is how long I give it.

5. Ever wanted to try out charcoal? Or pencil? Or markers? Or polymer clay? There is nothing stopping you getting some supplies and giving it a go! It’s recommended that you buy a cheaper version of whatever you want to play with, so you save money if you decide it’s not for you. But! You can also buy a small amount of a decent quality medium. Just one grayscale Promarker, for example, could be used to add shadows to your existing drawing technique and give you a feel for it. Or just one block of light colour Fimo clay will go a surprisingly long way and if you have paints at home, you can try those out in your finished piece. Then you haven’t spent LOADS of money, but still have quality items to play around with.

6. Every artist feels intimidated by other people’s art, but instead of feeling put off, remember that person had to start somewhere, and most likely also has insecurities about their own work.

7. If you’re having a bad day, or are suffering with depression, or going through something awful in your life, absolutely use art as a way to channel your emotions. People think that this means “I’m feeling sad, so I have to paint something sad, then it will help me feel less sad because the sad is on the canvas”. Creating something happy, or some fanart of something you love, or something indulgent will have the same therapeutic effect, and you may even find it more helpful, just let yourself get lost in whatever it is.

8. Putting artwork online for exposure is always daunting. You’ll usually get different “vibes” from different platforms, so it’s worth posting your work in various places. If you are happy and proud of a piece, never let anyone else make you believe otherwise. 99% of interactions you get will be positive or constructive, and that other 1% are usually from people just trying to get a reaction, or have no talent themselves.

9. Don’t let anyone tell you that art is a waste of your time, or that it won’t get you anywhere in life, or that it’s pointless. That’s what’s so nice about art, it doesn’t have to have a point! It can have so many different applications, and comes in so many different forms, and there’s no time limit or pressure if you’re just creating stuff for the fun of it, so it’s always there when you need it.

10. 9 tips didn’t feel like a full list, so this is just an extra point to tell you you’re an awesome person and that you can do it <3
