Star Wars and Star Trek and Harry Potter and even The Lord of the Rings are turned into crap… and I don’t care. I write and illustrate my own fiction. I can’t match the production value of these franchises, but the stupidity that controls them assures that my work is better regardless.
Capitalism broke my back and left me to rot… so I have no love for capitalism. On the contrary. Marxism is the socialism of the rich, so I am not a Marxist either.
As of today, December 6, 2024, I am free to share what I write and illustrate with the world. I can even sell it. I am sincerely grateful. It is something that makes capitalism better than socialism… until the capitalists take it away from me, one way or another.
I am a white, heterosexual and male gentile, as were most
people who wrote the best fiction and rendered the best art. I am being
replaced by diversity hires that cannot make anything interesting no matter the
budget allotted them. I shall inevitably outlast my replacements.
Quality cannot be easily ignored. Like light, it shines in the deepest of darkness. Things may fall apart all around, but it still tends to endure.
ReplyDeleteThe past is remembered better than how it was because the quality is remembered while most all else is forgotten.
DeleteI too enjoy doing my own thing my way.
ReplyDeleteWhen our mainstream favorites disappoint us, too bad, so sad. When we are disappointed with our own work, that just means we're not finished yet.
