today im thinking about the huge buff bread guy from kikis delivery service. highly underrated guy
Ok so I just rewatched Kiki's Delivery Service the other day and I particular thought occurred to me. This post is a positive rant and isn't articulate in any way so bare with me, but I love the fact that Kiki has a delivery service and it's just that, a delivery service
The story is about having passion and not falling for perfectionism and burnout, but stories like this are almost always reserved to people with Big and Interesting Jobs(TM) where they need to overcome multiple hurdles to make their masterpiece and maybe learn something along the way because sure, Kiki's Delivery Service took all of that and put it wholeheartedly into something usually looked at as a non-sexy job
The other two witches we see in the film: her mom a doctor, and the other little witch a fortune teller, and yet the film doesn't even entertain the idea of her underselling herself or not using her witchy powers for something "more important". She's bringing people little joys when delivering messages and gifts, and sure maybe those packages are just boring business deliveries sometimes but they still matter
what i'm trying to say is Kiki's Delivery Service gave us a story often reserved to sexy and cool jobs to something we'd usually deem mundane or boring and I love that it doesn't even treat it as such. There's no pushback to the nature of the work Kiki chooses to do at all!

Working on some Victorian inspired Kiki’s Delivery Service prints and a bookmark too. 🖤🧹✨🌸
Finished and printed the first and most special edition of the Victorian inspired Kiki’s Delivery Service prints. I’m really proud of this project and I can’t wait to see what’s next for me. 🌸🧹✨
This is so important to me- I need to learn to remember this when I have an art block or haven't drawn in awhile...
Kiki’s Delivery Service is one of those movies that I feel any aspiring artist should see. The struggle of Kiki in this movie is one that ANYONE who wants to further themselves goes through, that transition from taking what you love to do to something that you make a living off of.
As artists we have all been in the place where Kiki is. That place where we can’t draw anything right, can’t paint anything right, can’t sculpt anything right, that place where everything comes out wrong over and over and we begin to question if we’re actually good enough for the talents and skills that used to come to us like second nature when we were just using them for fun. That place where we want to give up because we suddenly can’t ‘fly’ like we want to, because everything seems too difficult to do that.
But that doesn’t mean it isn’t there, just because it isn’t working right then and there when you want it to be. If you can always fly, then it wouldn’t make those times when you did as special. It isn’t necessarily easy to grow up, nor is it necessarily easy to live with the artistic struggle of losing inspiration. But you can’t just throw up your hands and say ‘No, I can’t do it anymore’ because you’ll NEVER fly if you do that.
You gotta wobble before you stand.

Nondescript European Country is one of my favorite settings for an anime
I do believe in the power of a story. I believe that stories have an important role to play in the formation of human beings; that they can stimulate, amaze, and inspire their listeners.
