This Was A Mistake - Tumblr Posts
I've learned a few things today
A. Jell-O smells bad when making it
B. Making sure Jell-O dose fall out of your lap while sitting criss-cross applesauce backwards on the school bus is hard
C. Bringing Jell-O on the school bus is a bad idea
D. It's hard to type on a bus
Gang, Im depressed. (A rant/review of the blue period manga or how I am reflecting on emotions and my art)
so I first started reading the blue period manga like when the anime first started airing. And man that was the most depressing stuff I had ever seen. I got to about the beginning of the second year of university before I stopped reading it. And that kinda put me in a slump mentally with art. Yatora represented everything I was at that point in my life.
A high school student just wandering through life with no intended real goals who got an interest in art and decided to pursue that, only to become overwhelmed with everything that comes with it.
I act like I know art but I don’t. I don’t make great or amazing art. Everyone around me seemed to be making art just to make art. But I could only make art for assignments or on assignments. I was actually afraid to draw.
This panel hit me so hard. Everything about it resonated with me. It’s actually really pathetic. Everyone sees me as an artistic creative person when I couldn’t even make art for myself. Yatoras journey after getting into art school was me. Everyone seemed to know what they wanted to do at some capacity. Surrounded by people with years of experience and mountains of motivation. But what was I? Why was I there? Why am I making art?
there are moments in the manga that are very practical. They show the artistic method and all that. They show the practical way about art and the artistic process. The ways that make it look so easy. That you can just make art. That it’s so simple to create something.
And then it’s not that easy.
it really isn’t
And then I get stuck again.
I make one good piece.
And then I don’t make any more art.
Anyone can do what I can.
Maybe.
Actually no.
No they can’t.
And so I stopped reading Blue Period and stopped making art. And then I made art again. And I really liked it. It’s fun. I’m so happy when I make something. When it turns out well or I try something new. It’s exhilarating. For 6 months. 6 months I could make art and be proud of it.
And then I read Blue period again. And all these emotions came flooding back. Everything I made up until that point was worthless garbage. I actually had a panic attack after reading a few chapters. It’s kinda funny in a way. I’m so disturbed by this manga because of how much of it is me. But I have to move on.
I don’t think I’ll ever finish this manga. I don’t think I can. Not if I don’t want to lose an important part of me. So overall its art style and story telling is a 9.7/10. Would recommend for people who only appreciate art.

what happens when you try to Skype with @jin-oppa
She said hello to me, but nothing else has happened. She is only talking to Old Sport. Does she hate me? This is not going as planned. This was a mistake!
I accidentally knocked over Old Sport’s clock and she looked at me, but she said nothing. This was a mistake!
