@kasdeya as an Enjoyer and Creator of highly ambiguous art (intentionally and unintentionally) and generally just speaking in an obtuse way, i think both of your points are spot on; especially when it comes to much art and literature analysis. going through my lit classes in college nearly killed my love for it. i remember submitting a very deeply researched paper about a story’s themes and symbolism; it was open for critique from the class and from the professor. for some reason, mine drew the attention of everyone who were very eager to tell me that i was wrong
in those circles, despite purportedly being about assigning your own meaning or drawing new insights based on your unique experiences, there are a lot of “right” and “wrong” answers. i suspect a few reasons why these types of interpretational arguments come with such zeal, but it’s definitely A Thing. the need to be The Best at an inherently personal and subjective experience is bizarre to me. i can kind of understand when there are actual correct answers – but art?
when i make art which is ambiguous, heavily themed, or symbolic, i don’t expect my or anyone’s interpretation to right or wrong. i bring my experiences and understanding to create the symbols, to create the ambiguity, etc. others come with experiences different from my own – about those symbols, themes, and so on – and draw entirely new meanings that i could have never known. i’m not the master of symbolism, not even of the symbols i construct.

@kasdeya this is something i think about a lot. i think it’s fantastic that so many children were able to get into computers at all because they were made significantly more accessible, but i wonder how many different kinds of artists, engineers, researchers, and any number of things are completely out of the hands of someone who would have otherwise excelled at and loved it

kasdeyaI just realized that the tech stuff I’m good at vs. bad at is mostly defined by cost. like I’m bad at hardware and microcontroller stuff because I can’t afford them. I’m good at writing code for desktop apps because I already have a computer so it’s free. I’m bad at server stuff because I can’t afford a server

rowanwhen i was a kit, i daydreamed about having a studio where i could create any type of art i want; there’d be instruments ready to play; computers ready to touch; and the walls would all be white boards
as an adult, i daydream about the same thing but like, in japan or maybe on the moon

rowani’ve got most of the stuff out of my apartment and i am very tired.
the weird part is how little change it made to the place. usually moving out makes a place feel empty but this place always felt empty.
though, i bought as little as possible because i knew i wouldnt be staying

i spent a nontrivial amount of last night imagining different things i could do with the ties and positions it covered. even just asking them if it’s tight enough and waiting for a hesitant nod and “mhm” before giving it another tug without actually tighten it to elicit a moan is Very Good
