“If this is how you folks make art, it’s fucking depressing” – Brave As a Noun by AJJ

This piece is meant to be a bit of a joke, and a way for me to make fun of myself. I often find that I fall into a the rut of making my depression into art, and buying into the depressed artist shtick. I often jokingly introduce myself to the freshmen in the Creative Writing Club as “Beanie, and I write sad poetry”. On this page, I just want to poke some fun at myself for falling into that trope, while still working within it. The references on the page are all often romanticized for art, and I just enjoyed playing around with it. This is probably my least serious page, which I like.
