I love this topic, it's really fun to ponder about because art is so subjective that it can barely be quantified beyond the most basic premise of: the expression of an artist

Really anything can be considered art. (since music is my main form of artistic expression, I'm gonna use music as a basis for the rambling) A really good example is John Cage's composition 4'33" which is a piece that is played differently every time. It can feature any number of performers and they are instructed to not play their instruments. The idea behind it is that all sound is music in a way. It really depends on a matter of perspective. I don't entirely agree with his view, but I think it's a really interesting take on the world around us; rather than the performance informing the experience, the experience is in itself a performance. The act of hearing a member of the audience cough or the rustle of clothing as someone shifts in their seat, that is the art. The world around us is, in its own way a work of art (Of course, this could be taken to have theological meaning, the world being a work of art created by a higher power, but that's a little different), would you say a bird is not capable of singing simply because its song doesn't conform to human musical norms? Or is it a form of art because it is interpreted as art? The question if this sort of art is "good" or not is another thing, but I've lost most of my original train of thought, so Imma stop rambling now

Art is very cool

I mean, I learned how to pick locks in computer science club…

As well as to reverse engineer binary files using binary ninja in order to expose exploitable weaknesses…

ITS NOT BAD, I SWEAR

I didn't understand half of that, but very cool

It's good for mental health to learn how to pick locks right?

So… I’m pretty sure I’m depressed. Not in the sense where i feel sad, but i just, like… can’t really find the motivation to do much of anything. Like i can’t be bothered to do my homework or to take care of myself, that kind of thing. And like… i feel bad for not being able to do everything, and i just hate myself now ig. Like i feel kind of pathetic and useless, you know? Like I’m leeching off my family & everyone around me, without returning anything. And like, i kind of want to kms now, because like… wouldn’t that be the easiest option for everyone involved? My family gets rid of one lack-luster teenager, my classmates don’t have to put up with me anymore, and i don’t have to do anything anymore. Nice and simple. But I haven’t really found the courage yet. I’m an absolute coward when it comes to pain. 

 

That sounds exactly like depression

the number one most helpful thing you can do for yourself is don't feel guilty for feeling that way, or at least do your best

What about

Like

Your height? Your wingspan? Your hands because they help you do a certain thing really well?

*hug*

My hands are pretty much the only things I think of positively about myself usually

I was teased/minorly bullied about my height for most of my life, so there's not a lot about that to like

when you realize your dad is an actual child and that he's a completely absent father and that the only thing he really does for you is exist and talk to you every once in a while but it's usually disrespectful bc it'll be a negative comment on your outfit or your music or your friends or whatever

and then you're trying to talk to the family about something and he interrupts and starts playing and giggling with your sister

and your sister tells him to stop but he doesn't

and she tells him again but he doesn't

bc he only sees her as a child

and then when i tell him to stop he gets upset

and he's like "geez i was just trying to have fun"

and he walks back grumpily to pay attention

but he doesn't even pay attention bc he's on his dang phone

and when he's really upset he throws things at your mom or yells at you

you even remember one time when you were little and you snuck out of bed and he got really mad so he grabbed you and threw you back in bed

and it's really scary

and when you're upset he doesn't come and comfort you or offer support

he offers your mom support but not you and you don't know why and you just wish your dad would pay attention to you and get off his dang phone for once in his dang life

and then you realize that you're a lot like your dad bc you also are kinda lazy and antisocial sometimes

and you spend a lot of time on your phone

and that scares you so you push yourself to be social bc you don't want to hurt other people the way your dad hurt you

just by not being there

 

Wow, that's so real

*hugs*

HELLO HUMANS I REQUIRE ASSISTANCE

okay so for my art class my teacher is offering some extra credit opportunities and for one of them we can draw our fave character from smth random

and i asked her if i could do my OCs, and she said yes

so i'm doing two of mine and their friend group with @Bird Furious' 

but i have a dilemma

i need references

i was thinking a selfie situation

or maybe that one BOTW group pic with all the champions--@Wittles knows what i'm talkin bout

i also need to figure out if i should do just the OG four characters OR ADD CHAN AND REANNE BECAUSE THEY'RE SO ICONIC AND I LOVE THEM but they're also not OGs so IDK WHAT TO DO PLEASE HELP

@Mag i could use your artistic expertise

I think it would be fun to do the botw group pic, but with the OCs

It's been one of those weeks where I just really hate how I look. 

I just really hate my stupid face

and my hair

and my everything else
