Still haven't read Chats du Louvre or any of the other Louvre commissioned comics. I just think it's kinda fucked up they hire great artists to do fan art for them. They should've just paid them the same amount of money to do fuckin whatever and then exhibit it.

The more I think about it I might be a vampire, I usually need people to ask me to come in before I can enter anywhere just the same.

I straight up hate having a mirror image. If we could get rid of mirrors and reflections altogether I'd be happy - or at least reflections of me.

The three witches, Cynthia, Mildred, and Mordred, the latter both holding broomsticks, while the first carries a handheld mirror, are having a conversation in a story named WELCOME WAGON:
 "STEPSISTER CYNTHIA, THIS IDEA OF YOURS IS THE WORST SCHEME YOUR RADICAL, LOATHESOME MIND HAS YET TO DEVISE! IMAGINE! US VISITING OUR NEW NEIGHBORS! ECH!"
"AND THEY'RE-ECHH-HUMAN! I MEAN, IT'S OKAY THAT THEY EXIST, AND ALL THAT-BUT DO THEY HAVE TO MOVE IN RIGHT ACROSS THE SWAMP BLAH! HUMANS! SOME OF MY BEST TALES ARE ABOUT HUMANS BUT THEY'LL RUIN OUR PROPERTY VALUES! YOU KNOW HOW THEY ARE ABOUT KEEPING THINGS IN SHAPE!!"
"DON'T BE DREARY, GIRLS! WHEN ARE YOU TWO GOING TO GET WITH IT? TIMES ARE A CHANGIN'! YOU'LL JUST HAVE TO ACCEPT THE FACT THAT HUMANS HAVE JUST AS MUCH RIGHT TO LIVE WHERE THEY WANT TO AS YOU DO!!"

Was reading the BBC news and was surprised there's more than two TV shows coming out next month, there's something like a gazillion. I don't think I've seen a TV show since Andor came out...

Essentially: if I seem like I'm someone who's got it together, know only that inside me is a tight knit knot of loneliness and despair that I do my absolute damndest to keep in there and not let out because I've seen what happens when I've let it out full blast.

yeah idk I'm also afraid of becoming an artist's artist, that shit's the worst lol. I don't wanna end up like Wally Wood wishing I'd cut my hands off, fuck that. But also I wanna be hella productive and right now? Not so productive honestly, makes me wish I was somewhere more boring.
