Some more poetry. Poem Nr. 10: Sunslit
Your shadow growing to blacken the sky

Sealed by the heavenly ocean we´ve seen to forget
Your shadow flowing to blacken the sky

Being Unsure of the Ending
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, Feb. 5, 2022
Unless you're winging it 100%, chances are that you have an ending in mind for your story. Perhaps you even have the entire ending scene plotted out in your mind, the layouts ready, even some of the lines or expressions your characters will say and have.
You might have ...
Fountain of Nostalgia
Banes at 12:00AM, Feb. 3, 2022
I've had this Newspost in mind again since I saw Spider Man: No Way Home. That movie pushes the nostalgia buttons with abandon, to an extent I couldn't believe. To avoid having anything spoiled I rushed out to the theater to see it as soon as I could ...

Interesting, innovative individuals that have the ability to bring enough intelligence to the table in order to improve humankind are the ones to seek out.
Forty nights ago, while perusing the channels on my subscriptions, an announcement popped up about a tech convention headed ...
It's the little things
damehelsing at 12:00AM, July 11, 2021
There’s always an issue every artist has at some point and that is having stiff looking characters.
It is incredibly hard to actually have a fluid looking character. Also because, as humans, we are kind of stiff. Not every single person moves smoothly like a Disney character gliding across ...
Archetypes Through a Psych Lens: Humanistic (still)
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, April 17, 2021
Sooo…. we have already covered the illustrious Maslow and his pyramid of needs. Now comes Carl Rogers to complete what I consider the complete package of the Humanistic school of thought when it comes to personality theories. (well it's not just me, it's a lot of eh, colleagues ...
