Is there something that's lacking in our reality that we take shelter in songs, in stories? Is art supposed to be a mere escape? I feel the other way round. I submerge myself into art only to come out with more vigour for life. I don't listen to a song except that I carry its mood all along with me. I don't read a captivating line except that I would make it the very motto of my life. I wouldn't stumble upon a great piece of Italian sculpture of two lovers kissing except that I would long to have that intensity of passion in my love life as well. Art was never supposed to be an escape from life. To the contrary, it is there for a sublime reason. To inspire us so deeply and profoundly that we dive right back into the epicenter of life, with all the zest and zeal...

I bought her a hippie van for the summer and she likes it! I think it’s safe to say she is a beach girl at heart. 🏖️

Embracing the Creative Journey: Stay Inspired, Never Stop Creating Shaina Tranquilino February 23, 2024
Tumblr media
It's easy to feel overwhelmed and drained of inspiration. Whether you're an artist, writer, entrepreneur, or anyone pursuing a creative endeavour, the journey is often fraught with challenges that can dampen your spirit. However, the key to a fulfilling and successful creative journey lies in staying inspired and never ceasing to create. In this blog post, we'll explore some powerful strategies to keep the creative flame burning and encourage you to push through the inevitable obstacles. Cultivate a Curious Mind:
One of the most effective ways to stay inspired is to maintain a curious and open mind. Embrace a lifelong learning mentality, explore new ideas, and seek inspiration from various sources. Attend workshops, read diverse genres, and engage with people from different walks of life. The more you expose yourself to new perspectives, the richer your well of inspiration becomes. Embrace Failure as a Stepping Stone:
Failure is an inherent part of any creative process. Instead of viewing it as a roadblock, see it as a stepping stone toward growth and improvement. Every setback offers valuable lessons that can fuel your creativity. Thomas Edison once said, "I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work." Embrace the journey, learn from mistakes, and use them as building blocks for your next creation. Establish a Consistent Routine:
While creativity often thrives on spontaneity, having a consistent routine can provide a stable foundation for your creative pursuits. Set aside dedicated time each day or week for your craft. This routine not only fosters discipline but also creates a conducive environment for inspiration to strike. Whether it's a designated writing hour, painting session, or brainstorming period, a routine can help keep your creative juices flowing. Surround Yourself with Inspiration:
Your environment plays a crucial role in shaping your creative mindset. Surround yourself with things that inspire you – be it artwork, books, nature, or even inspirational quotes. Create a workspace that reflects your personality and fuels your creativity. When you're immersed in an environment that resonates with your passion, you're more likely to stay inspired and motivated. Collaborate and Connect:
Creativity thrives in collaboration. Engage with fellow creatives, share ideas, and collaborate on projects. Networking not only opens doors to new opportunities but also exposes you to fresh perspectives. Attend creative meet-ups, join online forums, and build a supportive community that encourages you to keep creating.
In the journey of creativity, staying inspired is not a destination but a continuous process. Embrace challenges, cultivate curiosity, learn from failures, establish routines, surround yourself with inspiration, and connect with a community of like-minded individuals. By adopting these strategies, you'll find that the creative spark within you remains alive and well, propelling you forward on an ever-evolving and fulfilling creative journey. Remember, stay inspired, and never stop creating.

The global reaction to Aaron Bushnell’s self immolation has been very jarring. I understand how powerful and scary it is to witness such a young man set himself on fire while screaming for a free Palestine, but to now see comments like “his death will not be in vain” and “the video will haunt me forever” is very strange considering the depravity of the videos we have been seeing coming out of Gaza for 4 months. It seems like people are now using Aaron as the “perfect martyr” of Palestine that we can put all of our efforts into celebrating as if there has not been 30,000+ Palestinian martyrs that we have been begging you to acknowledge

Gothic mushroom shaped candles. Danny picked one up, grinning. Sam would have love these on her alters. Very Sam, very Gotham.
It a bit bittersweet, now that he could think of her without being paralyzed by crushing grief. Her and Tucker both. Danny turned, keeping an eye on Tim as he glared into the case of used cameras.
Danny walked over and tried not to feel guilty about practically mooching off of a child. Even if the money he was using was actually the Drakes’.
“Like anything you see?”
Tim shook his head. Danny pondered over what little he knew of photography- all of which he learned from documentaries that were more focused on nature.
“I think there might be a camera store a couple of blocks down. We could get the ones that takes photos of animals, like the really big ones that takes photos of wildlife?”
“I guess. I mean, I don’t need it since we can…” Tim glanced around suspiciously. Danny willed his mouth to not smile at Tim’s antics. “Fly close,” the kid finished in a whisper.
“Okay, but what about when I’m not there?”
Tim hunched up on himself and Danny despaired inwardly. Uh oh, what did he say now?”
“Are you going somewhere?” Tim quietly asked, sounding hurt and upset.
“No,” Danny soothed, patting Tim on the head. I mean, what if I’m busy with stuff but you want to go take pictures without me?”
“You said to go get you whenever I wanna go out to take pictures.”
“Okay, yeah, I- well, we might as well get you a quality camera, right? To take really really good pictures of the… local wildlife. Like… the birds and the bats, and all that.” Danny winked exaggeratedly.
Tim blinked and giggled when he got the joke. “Okay, as long as you’re staying!”
Danny grinned, fangs and all. “Of course.”
——
At the end of their shopping spree, generously provided and sponsored by the Drake family and their heavy black card, Danny got a phone and Tim got a wild life camera that was a whopping $4,000 but was compact enough to not look absolutely ridiculous.
“It’s heavy!” Tim whined, as he grinned like a loon.
“It’s quality,” Danny plopped the shopping bags on the island in one of the giant kitchens Drake manor had. “I’ll make dinner. You figure out those settings and you can tell me about it when we eat.”
“Okay!” Tim hummed excited, quick fingers and laser focus already aimed at his new device.
Danny picked up his new phone and dialed a number he knew by heart. As it rung, Danny held it up to his ear and began prepping the ingredients. At least
“Hello?” His sister’s cautious voice came through the phone. Danny’s shoulders relaxed.
“Heya, Jazz.” He could see Tim’s ears all but perk up in order to eavesdrop. His mouth quirked up in amusement and Danny turned away. He probably shouldn’t be encouraging that kind of behavior… but it was funny.
“Danny! Are you okay? I- I heard that they chased after you and I was worried sick! Are you safe? Any injuries? Do I need to pick you up?”
“I’m good. Promise. Not bleeding out or dying. It’s actually pretty nice right now,” Danny paused before turning back a little more so he could watch Tim’s reaction peripherally. “Hey, listen, can I adopt a little brother?”
He watched Tim sit up straighter eyed flickering up to him and back down again, a secretly pleased look on his face as he figured out that Danny was in fact talking about him.
“Danny, what the hell?” Jazz huffed, audibly relieved to know that Danny wasn’t on his merry way to becoming a full on ghost. “Who, why, and what kind of trouble did you get into now?”
“Hey, this was me getting out of trouble. Those people don’t even know where I escaped to. Tim helped me out a lot,” Danny said in the tone that meant ‘and there’s more to it but I can’t tell you right now.’
“His name’s Tim?”
“Yeah, you wanna say hi?”
Tim looked terrified as he heard Danny’s side of the conversation. Danny could relate.
“Alright. But you’re explaining everything later, got it?”
“Sure thing, boss.”
Danny turned to Tim, abandoning the peas he was shelling and rinsing off his hand to hold the phone.
“Tim, my sister, Jazz, wants to say hi. Are you cool with that?”
“Uhm! Yeah! Yeah, sure.” Tim, honest to ancients, squeaked. Danny’s enhanced hearing could pick up Jazz’s already melting heart. He taped a button.
“Jazz, you’re on speaker.”
“Hey, Tim. I’m Jazz. Thanks for taking care of my little brother!”
“Uh, hi, Jazz! I’m Timothy Drake! And, uh, you’re welcome! Anytime!”
Tim glanced at Danny for reassurance, relaxing a bit when the halfa threw him a double thumbs up.
Jazz went quiet.
“Jazz, you good?” Danny asked.
“We’re adopting him. Danny, you better make sure knows about everyone. Hi, Tim, I’m Jazz, your new big sister.”
“Uh- I have parents.”
“That can be fixed,” Jazz casually brushed off. Tim looked like a deer in headlights, so Danny took his sister off speaker and went back to cooking. He made sure to smile at Tim.
“Don’t worry, we won’t adopt you if you don’t want to. But it wasn’t a joke, we’re very serious.”
“I’ll think about it?”
Danny shrugged. “Good enough for me.”
“So, where are you?” Jazz asked him, rustling coming through on the phone.
“Gotham.”
“You are so fucking lucky I love you, dumbass. I’ll be there tomorrow at noon.”
“Playing hooky, are you?”
“Fuck off, little brother, before I show Tim your toddler pictures.”
“Thanks, Jazz.”
“Bye, Danny. Don’t get killed again when I’m not there, got it?”
“Sure, sure.”
Danny smiled and returned to his agenda of stuffing as many vegetables into one meal as he can. At least the food isn’t trying to tear out his face.

Robin hasn’t heard the eerie giggles around lately, but he’s been practicing his own. It’s weird though, because there’s always a glint of something in the corner of his eyes.
“Robin, muggers.”
“On it, B. Shall we, Batgirl?”
“Let’s go, Boy Wonder.”

"Stay." Prompts
“Move in with me.”
“Please. Please don’t leave (me).”
A grabs ahold of B’s hand/arm just as the latter starts to turn away/etc.
“No! Stay— Stay far away from me. Please.”
A invites B to stay at their place for the night.
When their relationship with A gets serious, B finds themselves wanting to run for the hills. (They’ve done so many times in the past, but something about it feels different this time.)
“I can’t stay. Not—Not when you can’t even tell me…”
A got an amazing job offer from someplace across the country. They ask their crush/friend/partner/etc. B for advice on what to do.
“Why did you stay?”
A intends to come home/visit them when they hear B isn’t doing well, but the latter (tries to) convince(s) them not to.
“Marry me?”
A’s apartment/etc. houses more and more stuff that belongs to B/they bought because they know B loves/needs it.
“I could stay like this forever.”
“Stay where you are. I got it.”
For the first time in their life/a long while, A just wants to stay where they are. Stay in this town/etc., with B,… Leaving their old life behind, however, is no easy feat.   
“Don’t move.”
“Do you even want me to stay?”
A often imagines what it would have been like if they would have stayed in their hometown/together with B.
“I know it wasn’t supposed to be/end like this, but… I need you.”
It’s been years since A and B broke up, but sometimes it feels like they are still right there with them.
“Could we just… stay here for a while?”
A asks B to stay by their side during a social gathering, hoping to avoid certain other people/questions like this – or to at least have a buffer.
A repeatedly asks B to stay with them as the latter seems to be dying/dies in their arms.
“I couldn’t stay. Not even for you./Not even if I wanted to.”
“I can’t imagine going back to a life without you.” “Then stay.”
