part 353 whalers on the moon

[aphanon_meme]

We've been here over a year now! I can hardly believe it! Dreamwidth's been pretty good, I'd say, with almost no downtime to speak of and all that! Anyway... how is your spring going? Or I guess it's almost summer, isn't it? Hopefully it's been well! I've been catching up on work and new movies, all very exciting stuff, I'm sure.

Enjoy part 353!

And the they hypocritically make PSAs to artists to be confident and proud and praise themselves for their art.

i feel as though being proud and being self-congratulatory are two different things

and there's a limit to how much you can praise yourself for your art before it becomes grating, as well, and besides you do have to kind of look at it and see whether it really warrants the amount of praise you're giving it. you can be confident and still accept that your art isn't (yet) the greatest thing since sliced bread.

so basically john green has passed the limit between justifiably proud and kind of self-aggrandizing considering the objective quality of his work
