Not Enough Fantasy Settings Talk About Street Food Like C'mon There Was Street Food In Ancient Times

not enough fantasy settings talk about street food like c'mon there was street food in ancient times across basically every culture lemme see what weird snacks you can buy off a guy in an alleyway

One of these days I'll drown in WIPs, I swear... Somehow I ended up with 8(?) new stories. Wtf??? 💀

At the same time I can't gather enough energy to draw, though maybe the fact it requires sitting explains it. I can write on my phone and honestly prefer it nowadays.

Anyway, new snippets and hopefully the commissions I'm almost done with are coming soon(ish). Stay tuned, I guess.

an artist is a director of audience reaction, not its dictator. if you know your craft well, you can make most of your cues hit, but in the end, interpretation of art is up to the viewer. you cannot guarantee that everyone viewing your work will react as you are trying to make them react. a good artist knows that this is what allows works to breathe. by definition, you cannot have art where the viewer brings nothing to the table. you do have to respect both the generative and interpretive ends of the process if you want your art to mean anything.

this is why you have to let go of the urge to plainly state in-text exactly how you think the work should be interpreted. that desire for control conveys disrespect for audience. if you have developed your storytelling skills well enough, the audience will understand what you are trying to communicate without needing you to intercede as authorial voice. sure, some won't get it, but it's better to be misinterpreted sometimes than to talk down to your audience. you won't even gain any control that way; people will still develop their opinions no matter what you do. just find a way to communicate your ideas and hope that it comes across well to your audience at some point

Meet our escort and stylist, Cassius Opulent and Satine Labelle! 💙🤍

Cassius is the worst, ngl. He’s a privileged jerk who only cares about luxury. Basically the evil version of Effie. He and Belladonna do BOT get along: Bella thinks he’s a pompous prick and Cassius thinks she’s district trash.

Satine comes off as a hardass, but she actually has a soft side deep down. She developed her cold persona as a coping mechanism after seeing so many kids die in the games. She tried to subtly help her tributes though. For example, she cut Belladonna’s hair to make it harder to grab. After Bella wins, Satine becomes a mother figure to protect Bella in the Capitol.
