I am ahead of schedule to meet my follower goal by the end of 2026 🥰💕 but wouldn't it be cool to hit a full 1K MONTHS in advance of December? 🥹👉👈

your favorite art is almost definitely in conversation with other art in different mediums. please please pleas expand your horizons. visit a museum you typically wouldn't, watch a french new wave film and go down a rabbit hole, go see a live band you've never heard of. be curious about the world.

y’all think I can reach 800 followers before Pride ends? 👀 💦

a downer ending needs to be earned as much as a happy one. A lot of creators don't recognize how to make a good ending bc the ending is effectively your story's thesis bolded, underlined and highlighted - but it's common to feel like it's smothering to have to think about themes and not go on vibes
