Guys, if you want to be a good artist and storyteller you need to absorb other media and influences beyond popular comics and movies and video games. Hell, even beyond visual art. Read novels, science articles, history books. Listen to podcasts, watch documentaries. Dip into different disciplines. Explore stuff outside your everyday. What you create and the pool of ideas you can pull out of is expanded by the knowledge you gain. Don’t do yourself a disservice by limiting your library. You never know when some weird shit you read about mushrooms could end up inspiring you or helping you solve a design/story problem.

i know this man didnt die recently but reading this made me genuinely want to kill myself
also while we’re talking about nanaimo, a 17 year old indigenous girl went missing from the city yesterday. please also bring attention to that so we can get her home safely.
Bring this girl home or I will send the wrath of 5000 Vikings on you like I will the person(s) who took her.
If you’re too fucking lazy to read it - here you fucking go. Please spread this like wildfire
Some of you never spent your formative years as a disembodied soul tethered to a suit of armor and it really shows
