I’m enjoying the Uncanny X-Men 2024 run so much because, after blowing through TAS, ‘97, and the movies, and jumping into the comic realm for the first time, I found that my gut feeling of relation to Rogue’s character was 1000% correct

there’s a beauty to the way that her inner monologue and her thoughts are spoken in the comic medium that deepen her character so much. she’s so down on herself and so self-conscious because of what she’s been through and what she continues to grapple with, but she’s STRONG, and she KNOWS she’s strong. she’s such a beautiful example of how someone can be outwardly confident and still have inner self-hate, and doubts stemming from intrusive thoughts that eat at you like bugs.

basically, comic Rogue makes me wanna look every '97 Rogue hater in the eyeballs and punch their teeth out.

Gail Simone is giving us more sapphic mutants, bless her.

…and you are feeling nervous, inadequate, worried, and like it’s all insurmountable…

I want you to stop for a moment and really listen to this.

I don’t know a single comics creator worth a damn who never felt those things. Almost all of us STILL feel those things, either a little or a lot.

Those things can only stop you if you let them. They do not mean you aren’t a ‘real’ creator, because most ‘real’ creators have those feelings ALL THE TIME.

Take them as what they are, a perfectly understandable reaction to the daunting task of trying to put your art, heart and soul  into a very public space, in a much-scrutinized media, where criticism comes from many angles.

It’s all right to be scared, it’s all right to be worried. It’s understandable to get down, or feel like it’s not possible.

Those feelings are part of it. They don’t have to be your roadblocks. You can make them your houseguests, because the odds are you will see them again once in a while, no matter how many  awards you win or how many books you sell.

They are part of being an artist. 

You are not alone. You are not unqualified just because you have doubts and worries. 

Making art is a wonderful, rewarding thing. Part of why it’s so rewarding is because there are so many people and factors in the way of making art in the first place.

Don’t let the biggest roadblock be yourself. Your inner critic is often a liar and a jerk. But you can have the last laugh by doing what you love anyway.

Go make some art.
