Contrary to popular belief the biggest beginner’s roadblock to art isn’t even technical skill it’s frustration tolerance, especially in the age of social media. It hurts and the frustration is endless but you must build the frustration tolerance equivalent to a roach’s capacity to survive a nuclear explosion. That’s how you build on the technical skill. Throw that “won’t even start because I’m afraid it won’t be perfect” shit out the window. Just do it. Just start. Good luck.
I loved when “Drift Compatible” entered pop lexicon cause we were in DESPERATE need for a way to platonically express “one of us to the other is as a limb to a body; we are a left and right feet of a dancer; we do not need to speak because any one word inspires an exchange of unspoken words that conveys a full conversation in which a mutual conclusion is determined in an instant”. Huge win for the QPRs out here
I also really love that the movie explicitly shows that drift compatibility can be any form of relationship. Two brothers, three brothers, husband and wife, father and son, two friends who have lost everything to the same enemy. It isn’t about the way you connect, it’s about the connection itself. And of course, that connection lets you put boots to asses and kill alien monsters together. Because the power of human connection can change the world or something.
Nothing more frustrating than talking about history with people on the internet who don’t understand how averages work.
You’ll be like “it’s so tragic that this happened to this historical figure, she was so young”, and some dipshit will be like “um actually the average life expectancy was only like 35 in those days so she really wasn’t that young for the time at all 😌”, and you have to explain that that “average life expectancy” is heavily skewed by the incredibly high infant and child mortality rate of the time, and that people who lived to adulthood and lived normal lives did in fact usually live to their 60s or older. Elderly people did in fact exist in the old days.
