i tend to present myself like some sort of stoic and reserved person, yet that's not really who i am all the time
sometimes i'm a much less "professional" and a much more unserious person
i kind of jump around these different sides of myself depending on particular contexts, but sometimes i just kind of switch up based on whatever my mood is at the moment
idk it's like some yu-gi-oh type stuff where i'm one person but i'm also multiple people or something like that
i don't actually know that much about yu-gi-oh, i just watch the show because it's on tubi and it's kinda cool i guess
there's probably analogies more fitting to what i'm familiar with that i could've used like bruce wayne/batman or the different doctor who incarnations, but idk yu-gi-oh works too i think
i could probably also say something like anakin skywalker/darth vader or chancellor palpatine/darth sidious, but i mean that would probably not put me in the best light would it?
not to say i don't have darker aspects of myself but you know what i mean
idk this is just another ramble about stuff i guess

oc that i love very much. shes a faun/satyr and the god of earth and nature in my world, otherwise referred to as mother nature. she wears aquamarine because it represents peace and tranquility, and is often said to emanate a calming aura, which is why its fashioned into things like necklaces.

Alright that'll be all. Have a good rest of your month.

People talk trash about the fifth Star Trek movie, The Final Frontier, and there are many things to criticize about it, but honestly I think a lot of what it says about God and spirituality is quite profound.

There are many people who essentially exploit God as a means to an ends, often one that is selfish. Part of the inspiration behind the film was the rise of televangelists, many of whom could be seen as using God as part of their business model, promising God (or rather their version of God) as a magic wand that could take away all our faults instantaneously. William Shatner, being a man of Jewish heritage, set out to criticize this practice, saying that much of who we are is built upon our pain, our suffering, and that we can't simply wish that all away. Assuming there is a God or at least someone or something adjacent to a God, the created universe is not created the way it is so that we can receive everything from our armchair. Life is about exploration, trial and error, knowing our limits, learning from other people. God isn't so much "out there" as He (or perhaps a She or even a They, as a truly infinite being is beyond gender by any of our definitions, but for now I'll go off the traditional texts and use what appear to be His primary preferred pronouns) is "in here, the human heart". Of course, assuming there is a God who fits particular descriptions, then He is technically both "out there" and "in here", as He is omnipresent, in everything and everyone. We are finite, and our understanding of things will always be finite, but if we listen, if we explore, we learn that much more about each other, ourselves, the truth. That is the way of life.

Yeah uh I've been getting kind of weird and existential lately (maybe because the world sucks and everyone kinda hates each other or something) so that's why the pseudo-intellectual rambles and stuff. Some of this is probably better suited to an external blog site or something. Am I making sense? Am I full of s**t (for the sake of politeness I will have that censored, though I'm inclined to think we shouldn't attach superstitious value to mere words)? Am I kind of both? You can tell me. Or not. Up to you. I have no desire to control your decisions.

Today marks 25 years since the tragedy that was 9/11. I myself wasn’t alive to witness it, but I want to take a moment to honor those we lost that day and those who made sure didn’t lose any more than we did.

I think one of the most humble things you can do is admit you could be wrong
Not that you shouldn't try to stand by what you believe in, but that we are all fallible and ultimately have a very limited perception of truth
It is not possible for anyone to know the full truth, as we don't even know all that much about each other at the end of the day
We don't always even know ourselves
Some people talk about reason and faith (which includes not only the religious or spiritual kind but also the broader universal sense) as if they are opposed, but really I think one can't exist without the other
We can't accept things blindly based on nothing but "just trust me bro", so we must reason, but we also need faith in some basic principles of reality in order to reason, else we're stuck endlessly questioning everything and mining ourselves into some sort of existential crisis
Without reason, there is no faith, but without faith, there is no reason
These things need to exist in a balance of sorts
What we put our faith in, and by what principles we reason, is up to us
You should stand by what you believe, whatever it is, yet you should also be open to evolution of beliefs based on new experiences and information, as refusing to do so is a sign of arrogance
Humility comes from finding proper balance

alright have a good night to everyone in the washington metropolitan area (except the people who suck)

watching the twotap digital art summit today, i came across a video where the artist had people on ig give her prompts for a character so i though i'd try it out!

the prompts can be as crazy as you want, or as simple as you want, but i wont use all of them (for example if i get two prompts for a hairstyle), the only limitation is nothing that changes the pose because i dont want to erase it lol

here's my base


i dont think ill get this many prompts, but just in case, the max is 20 total (max 3 per person)

man i remember when everyone was asking for a cave update and when mojang actually did it i thought something like: well now what is everyone gonna ask? and then end update became the most popular thing and now i wonder what comes after that

how often should i post art? im realizing i make a lot more than i thought and i dont want to overload this group with my stuff
