A new month a new scribes and makers since I'm late here goes the first 3 in a row and the last month is linked here: https://nerdculture.de/@AnnaSaultron/114011320400283862 1.What are your goals for the month? Writing at all, instead of 10.000 aimed words I only managed 1000 in February 😅 At least no edit notes included. But I also had to take my mind of anything creative with words, otherwise I probably would have produced something similar to hate speech... and trying to draw my main space ship went above that. 2.Are you inspired by nature? Please explain. Sometimes, sometimes not at all, a lot of stuff inspires me at random points of my life, I can rarely pinpoint it exactly if it isn't a person. 3.Are you more productive during long stretches of free time, or when you have to squeeze creativity into your busy life? The later definitely. ________ The Overview toot for all prompt answers of mine for March 25 is here: https://nerdculture.de/@AnnaSaultron/114084647182816482 #ScribesAndMakers 03.03.25

01.04.25 Analyze this out of context quote from obscure influencer/author SA Poscat and tell us how you feel about it. "If I wanted to do something people liked, I would post videos of someone kicking me in the nethers. Instead, I write."

No.
Why?
Simply.
I don't know the context.
I don't know enough about the person and in which context it was said.

Out of context quotation is one of the worst things I can imagine. Who ever came up with that was an reactive troll in my opinion.
Nothing & I mean nothing like in the Void between universes has no context.

As an DND player I have yelled DIE & made elaborate plans to decapitate corrupt & not so corrupt leaders at least 250 times.

I have uttered the phrase I kill XYZ more than a million times while playing Magic The Gathering.

I have said sentences that are more than disturbing as I played evil characters.

Out of context all this sounds like an evil psychopath.

03.04.25 Would you like to form a writers/creative group?

Honestly I would love to but realistically I haven't enough spoons on my drawer for that I fear
...

So Online Tags it is for me...

04.04.2025 Can you handle praise well, or do you get embarrassed and play your achievement down?

Ich mag Preiselbeeren aber nicht ihren Preis...

(I like cranberries but not their price...)

Okay I guess no bilingual German English mistranslation joke will savee from answering this.
I know praise is good and I love praising artists I like especially if their Art resonates deeply with me like my personal Heartist dasGnomo
https://www.dasgnomo.com/
Or our very own also in this tag participating @nautilebleu
Or the beautiful Art of
@JenJen
Or the work of Stjepan Sejic
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stjepan_%C5%A0eji%C4%87

All of them have one thing in common a deep feeling of connection for me.
I try to get better in giving the same praise to Actors, writers, musicians that touch my soul (was easier as I still was on Twitter before that).

But praise for me...uff for what I'm a moving chaos that needs years to finish stuff and I think I'm not really creative in that regard.🙈

@AnnaSaultron wow I stand between giants 😊 speaking of Stjepan Sejic I did this art of Poison Ivy a few years ago in who I tried to catch the spirit of his bombshell

@JenJen

@nautilebleu don't sell yourself cheap or short. Your skill is damn good too and I think you absolutely nailed it. That is clearly some poison ivy with poison ivy vibe. 💚

And sorry for using the wrong account again I typed @ art and checked the name but not the handle.🤦🏽

@AnnaSaultron don’t worry, it happens all the time (I start wondering if switching account was a good idea, maybe Mastodon should have a sort of redirection?)
@nautilebleu for some reason it always shows me your old account but if I try to correct it the new don't show up. Most times I have to search for the new one copy the handle and than writing the toot... Don't know if that's a Tusky app problem or a problem of the instances or what else plays into it. 🤷🏻‍♀️
@AnnaSaultron @NaraMoore had the same problem, I tend to think that the algorithm put my previous account higher because it is older and/or you have more interacting with it.

@nautilebleu @AnnaSaultron

I know this is going to the wrong account.

Using your name pulls up the old account.
You need to get as far as adding the first underscore before the @ search pulls up the new account.

@NaraMoore it just doesn't show up up at all for me... I guess it's something between the app and the network communication at the moment I can pull up a list with all accounts that have an @ art but i just switched between mobile and home network just a minute ago. It doesn't work all the time and more often it just shows nothing... I don't know. Maybe it's my energy savings configuration or the app data limit I usually have in place when I'm away from home.
@nautilebleu

@AnnaSaultron @nautilebleu

Your server must be able to see @art_of_goulwenr
If you are following each other and posting to each other, that shouldn't be the case, but the Fedi is an idiosyncratic beast.

@NaraMoore I checked that @AnnaSaultron instance isn’t blocking mastodon.art so yeah it’s quite strange @nautilebleu

@art_of_goulwenr Mastodon art seems absolutely fine it comes up if the list comes up, maybe it's witchcraft and I need to sacrifice my next firstborn to change it... but seriously I don't know. I try to get the new account or maybe just safe the handle somewhere on my phone.
