Why are we taught only unconventional can bring greater joy?

Why can't we get joy from conventional?

Conventional Wisdom

Sorry, I meant to post on Tuesday, as a routine day. This Tuesday, I was unable to get to it. But here it is Wednesday, better late than never! Speaking of conventional wisdom, for artists at least. The question so many artists ask is, what sells the best? Everyone, (you know that everyone) says to create what you’re passionate about, and that love will appeal to buyer in way of exciting art.…

do you have any tips for people who are going to their first ever convention this weekend? i’ve never been to one and i’m very nervous with all the Unknowns™️

tip time! if you’re someone who can get easily overwhelmed or overstimulated, when you arrive at the venue have a little explore (because it’s very fun to see all the cool stuff to interact with), but also find a little spot you can call a safe place! don’t be afraid to leave the convention for a breather if things get too bad and then come back later, as life can be overwhelming and sometimes you just need a break!

another thing, YOU NEED TO EAT AND DRINK WATER!!!! long days are hard and sometimes we get wrapped up in the excitement we forget the fuel our body needs to function. EAT!!! DRINK!!! both are hugely important!!

if you’re someone who binds, you need to ensure you take breaks - it gets hot, and being hot while binding and also wearing it for a long time can NEVER help. take short breaks if you can and have the same, just going to the bathroom and taking it off for a bit to breathe is always better than nothing

more importantly, have fun! you’re there for YOU! you’re gonna have a great time :)

one thing that i think sets wilbur soot apart from a lot of other mcyts is he’s extremely mature in the way he goes about content creation. not in terms of the content itself, but in the way he goes about his career and how he interacts with other creators. he’s not close with many of them, but have you ever heard of wilbur soot having earnest beef with somebody online? nope, you haven’t, because he’s bigger than that.

there are so many petty squabbles and controversies that crop up online, and wilbur is always notably silent. that speaks volumes about his priorities. he seems to understand that jumping into those arguments serves 0 purpose and only fuels things further. (he’s also probably aware that joining in on controversy of any kind tarnishes his brand, so it’s a smart move from a purely PR standpoint.)

still, when things get really ugly and involve his friends, he encourages his community to show kindness above all else. take, for example, dream’s sexuality controversy on twitter in april. wilbur didn’t address it explicitly, but he went live (for a regular stream) perhaps a day or two after everything exploded and spoke about how important it is to be kind to other CCs (clip here). maybe i’m showing my bias because i’m primarily a dream team fan at heart, but it meant so much to hear someone who ordinarily is silent during controversy speak up in defense of his friend.

that’s another thing: wilbur and dream don’t even seem to be close friends, and wil still spoke in strong defense of him, in the name of decency and kindness. this wasn’t one of wilbur’s closest pals who was being attacked, but someone who’s a fellow content creator and friend. wilbur and dream have worked together many times and seem to get along well, and clearly there is a high degree of mutual respect between them. wilbur didn’t have to address the controversy, but he saw his friend’s name being dragged through the mud; so he asked his own audience to treat dream (without using his name) with respect. just as wilbur does. and that’s something he does with every CC he interacts with.

it’s sadly uncommon to see a mcyt who is so well-liked across the board, and who gets along with everyone he meets. if you ask me, it comes from wilbur’s experience in the industry. he’s been doing youtube and streaming for many years at this point and in many different circles, like soothouse, smplive, smpearth, the dream smp, etc. he’s educated in his field, and he’s now also working in music— i can tell you from personal experience that musicians who expect to go anywhere with their career have to be able to work with anyone, even the most difficult and insufferable kinds of people. you truly can’t expect to succeed in any creative field if you can’t adapt to your environment and work well with others. (wil is also just a naturally charismatic and funny guy, so he sets others at ease right away. not everyone has that gift!)

anyway, i just think it’s so neat to see a creator who does exactly the kind of content he wants (be it the most batshit-insane thing you’ve ever seen), succeeds at it, and also is held and holds others in high regard. it’s a testament to his passion for his work, as well as his love for others. i’m sure there are mcyts wil has worked with that he might personally dislike, but you’d never know because he treats everyone around him with the same kindness, decency, and authenticity that he does his closest friends. i love wilbur soot the end

Weekly Digimon Comic: Digimon Tamers - episode 4

Well, it had to happen eventually, but we're FINALLY got an episode of Tamers where I only got a single episode out of it... eventually. Actually, there WAY going to be two separate comics at one point, one dunking on the game graphics and another just about the weird Hypnos control panels, but then I decided they weren't strong enough to stand on their own and mashed 'em together.

But seriously: I do wonder if, at one point, Henry was supposed to playing on a WonderSwan. Those black and white graphics are an odd and weirdly specific choice to represent a game being played on a computer. Conventional Wisdom / Patreon

Conventional wisdom for HotD S01E03.

I mean in an actual opera of Good Omens I'd definitely make Aziraphale a countertenor

...although if he were just a regular tenor you could cast Michael Spyres in the part he was born to play and just throw in some crazy-ass high notes for funsies and because you have Michael Spyres to sing them. Hmmmm. Now I am extremely torn about this opera that does not exist and that my always-dubious-even-when-I-wrote-music-regularly composition skills are not up to anyway.

. "You seem at home on the road." Halsin shed the last of his wildshape as he joined the man, tossing wood alongside the fire that always roared in the middle of camp.

"Is it more or less favorable with the added company?" Halsin moved to sit on the ground across from Mori, looking quite comfortable near the fire's warmth.

@sorrowsick liked for a starter from Halsin!

when you think about it for even a second the common idea that resources for the homeless prioritize women and children is absolutely ridiculous lol

Fully configured and plugged in my UPS for my aquarium today cause if power interruptions are going to continue I want to buy my fellows more time.

Among the first warnings in the instructions is "don't use with aquariums."
