Apparently the Twitter algorithm just changed where everything gets phased out of the algorithm after 48 hours. That means every artist has 2 days of their art reaching mew eyes, and then nothing, with the highest weight of whether a post gets noticed being within the first two hours

Also if a tweet has a high bounce rate (that is if people click on it and go to a new website i.e.: get off twitter) it will nuke your visibility. So good luck if your comms operate off a google form or separate website, or if you sell merch, or anything of that sort

Sometimes a power fantasy isn't about being super strong, or the smartest, or the best. I think a valid power fantasy is having other people help solve your struggles, the power fantasy of the kindness of strangers

The power fantasy of exploring your options when the opportunity presents itself to you, letting go of your mask, giving other people the capacity to help you, if you let them, if you take that chance because it's better than to suffer alone

Music Videos have taught me you can tell full on stories in just 3-4 minutes of run time, I need to start studying this idea, apply it to comics and animations, any future project. Things don't need to fit the paradigm of TV/streaming, art can be so much more

BCCR (my comic/project) is about to get so much looser, but so much broader and denser, and absolutely more free, and I'm tearing up right now because I finally realized something about how to be more free with my art, like I let go of the chains of normal storytelling and my world just opened up

You can do so much, with so little, and let everyone fill in the blanks while still guiding their eyes. I'm motivated now, I got direction. When I said I wanted things to feel more pulpy, I got a frame of reference now.

I hate the term photographic memory because it doesn't exist, it assumes something about how humans observe things, and that some people have master observational skills and can remember every detail at a glance, when in reality how people practice observation is INCREDIBLY selective

Observation is so incredibly subjective and varies from person to person. Everybody has observational blindspots, it's how people like magicians or artists have made entire careers, it is physically impossible to pick up on every detail for every given thing

A lot of the struggle with people in their 20s/young adult drama is people who have figured out who they are get caught in the crossfire of other people still figuring out who they are

I think if I had to say something nice about my style it's that I embrace the imperfections. I don't have the words to describe it, but I feel the imperfections coming together to still convey something recognizable+with intent is charming

And despite not pushing for perfect, I'm still improving all the time, and I think that's nice
