Mechanical pencil discourse:

These are the good ones

These? Awful wobbly hell sticks.

what about these

how about this? 

Both of these are good too but the bottom ones are expensive as fuck

👀 ?

Those classify as the first ones they are good

what about everyones favorite?

THOSE ARE DISGUSTING HOW FUCKING DARE YOU

those last ones shatter if anyone within 10 feet of you even thinks that they might maybe need something to write with

1.) Haunted campout in a northern forest where strange beasts lurk in the distance and whispers of the unquiet dead keep you awake through the long dark night 
2.) The Joker is probably getting ready to murder you horribly in an abandoned warehouse
3.) Killer Croc hunts you through the Gotham sewers, occasionally eating corpses 
4.) Man has pleasant vanilla sex with a monster in cheap motel bed
5.) You’re the last gunslinger marching across a dreary wasteland after the world has moved on, pursuing the man in black across the desert while the machines of the old world still hum their death throes

6.) woman flees across frozen tundra from evil mechanical whales from another dimension
7.) frightend young boy is chased through forest by the Wild Hunt and their eldritch hounds

8.) Baba Yaga has kidnapped you and prepares to cannibalize you as part of a hearty and well-balanced meal 
9.) Drinking a stolen soda at the bottom of the Mariana Trench and burping from the highly-pressurized gas
10.) mute woman has quiet sexy encounter with an amphibious monster in an aquarium
11.)  n00b necromancer digs up bones from a church graveyard for the first time, crying with guild and anxiety as angry spirits murmur in anger at her trespassing

12.) Hiding scared and alone in the dark as the fabric of reality is unwoven by interdimensional forces beyond our understanding, and the world as we know it comes to a dark and brutal end
13.) Amateur cryptid-hunter hikes alone through woods on a breezy summer’s day, searching for evidence of the paranormal and oblivious to danger
14.) lesbian lumberjack chops down tree in the early morning while thinking dreamily about her new wife

15.) Waiting on a cliff over the Irish sea, impatiently awaiting the return of your beloved gay selkie bride
16.) Sitting in the woods, minding your own business, when some Elf LARPers walk by
17.) Typing angry messages on a Justice League fan forum about why Batman is not overrated, while sitting alone in the Batcave
18.) Sleeping in on a rainy day while a cat purrs on your chest and someone makes you breakfast and tea
19.) Drifting in and out of sleep on a crisp April night in the woods
20.) Chilling on a riverbank under the summer sun
21.) Standing on the Innsmouth shoreline contemplating your inevitable transformation into a fishperson and your descent beneath the waves; you can hear your ancestors calling you

Yesterday my dad told me something that I think maybe more people need to hear.

You’re allowed to just do things for fun.

He told me that in this modern society, especially the United States, we seem to have this attitude that we shouldn’t do something unless we’re aiming to be the best at it. If we can’t sing like Beyonce or Frank Sinatra or something there’s no point to singing. If we can’t make the next big breakthrough there’s no point in looking into mechanics and engineering.

But, he tells me, it took him a long time to figure out that life doesn’t have to be a race. If you want to take up the piano when you’re a teenager or later you’re not going to master it. You’re not going to be able to play to huge concert halls, but that also shouldn’t stop you. You can study a language out of curiosity and then drop the ball if you want. You can just get okay at something or even be terrible at it. You can drop it for days or years and then pick it up again and it doesn’t have to be a shameful thing.

I’m really glad he told me that because today I opened my sketchpad for the first time in months and just started drawing. And it looks terrible. But I don’t care. I don’t have the talent or patience or spacial awareness to get anywhere near good at drawing, but it’s fun. It helps me focus my mind and nobody has to see it.

And because of what he told me, I’m thinking maybe someday soon I will take up the bass guitar. And I won’t worry about how well I do, or how fast I learn, or that I haven’t played an instrument since sixth grade, or that I don’t have that much time to practice. I’m just gonna enjoy the experience. Maybe I’ll try swing dancing again and take a class because I’m not the best dancer but damn if it isn’t fun.

Yeah, you don’t have to be good at things. It’s not a requirement. Maybe that seems obvious but it had never occurred to me before. You’re allowed to just enjoy what you’re doing. For me, that feels like a life changing revelation. I don’t have to be good at something to like it. I don’t have to put 100% effort into everything I do. It’s kind of amazing.
