Being an artist is far too much power because you can just have a phrase pop into your head, like “penny-farthing lightcycle,” and then you can just. Make it be a thing

but be careful

(because if you have the kind of messed-up brain that would DO this, then you may also end up with thoughts like: “they would not call it a penny farthing, though. What kind of currency do they use inside a computer” and then the Evil side of you will say “the crypty kind” and will also try to tell you that Bit and Tron both have crypt money named after them and you will have to smack that part of your brain and tell it to shut up)

I TAKE IT BACK

being an artist SUCKS

because you can get WRIST PROBLEMS and have to NOT draw art for a while but the IDEAS STILL COME


so you can for example think of something as adorable as “Roy Kleinberg and Ram lighting their 8-bit menorah" 

and your brain can visualize it, of course (a Bit perched on each candlestick, as Ram touches the shamash-Bit to the first candle it goes "yes!” and the Bit on that candle flares from gray to yellow with a little “yes!” in reply)

But you CAN’T MAKE IT BE A THING
