Remember That Time Chip Admitted To Pulling Out Jay's Hair And Giving Her A Bald Spot Behind Her Ear?

Remember that time Chip admitted to pulling out Jay's hair and giving her a bald spot behind her ear?

He's been doing the same thing to Gryffon. That panda is balding in 8 different spots. He thinks it's male pattern baldness, but it's just Chip.

Old Man earl had 3 strands of hair at the start of the Loffinlot arc. Now he's down to 1.

That time he was in Niklaus's office? Chip saw Niklaus's fancy carpet and fucking destroyed it by pulling out all of the threads.

Half of the damage to the Albatross is just due to Chip tearing out the splinters, and that evolving into him fucking tearing planks out.

i know it’s been said before, but it bears repeating: a big, big part of maintaining your confidence & self esteem as a creator is fully embracing the concept of “you don’t have to be good like them.  you can be good like you.”

for example, i’m not someone who’s particularly good at coming up with complex, elaborate plots or incredibly unique ideas.  it’s just not how i choose to write.  and it would be easy for me to look at someone with an elaborate, super unique plot & decide that because i don’t write like that, i’m not a good writer.  after all, unique plots are good, and my writing lacks those, so my writing must not be good, right?  well, no, actually.  i just have different strengths, like taking a simple premise & digging super deep into its emotional depths.  that’s what i do well & it isn’t any better or worse than people who do elaborate world building or come up with really creative and unexpected plots.

your writing is never going to be all things to all people.  it just isn’t.  inevitably, you’ll have to make creative choices that favor certain aspects of writing over others.  there is truly no getting around that & it’s honestly a good thing, because it means you’ve developed your own style.  but you’ll always encounter other creators who posses strengths that you don’t.  it doesn’t mean one is better than the other or that your writing isn’t good enough. 

comparing yourself like that would be like taking a piece of pizza & a cupcake & going “oh no, that cupcake is so sweet & my pizza isn’t sweet at all.” or “gosh, the garlic crust on that pizza is delicious and my cupcake doesn’t have ANY garlic.”  obviously your pizza isn’t sweet.  obviously your cupcake doesn’t have garlic.  a food can’t have every single delicious flavor at once.  the cupcake is good like a cupcake.  the pizza is good like a pizza.  so you don’t have to be good like them.  you can be good like you.
