If you can’t support a message with a good story it will just come across as pretentious and over-bearing… This isn’t a new issue either.
Story is king, focus on entertaining and not preaching.

Exactly. You can make art with supplies from the Dollar General, or free pencils from the bank; but OP is too good for punk rock, DIY, gutter art.

Pretentious prig.

Of course, OP did accidentally create the New Guy, so there's that.

All this talk just made me think about old art, was digging around in drives. All of these... with modern sensibilities, they're flawed - probably pretentious - but all of them were a bit of an evolution moment for me. Dates are 2002-2004 probably...

If you had to introduce yourself using four (in this case three) books, which ones would they be?

Swords, William Morris wallpaper, and pretentious gay people: who could say more? https://t.co/y10DCKKXu9

Snappy, rude, disheveled and pretentious; Derek often lies his responsibilities on others as he keeps to the background. He's fairly rubbish at anything he does so it's not like we're missing much.

I haven't actually hit a milestone on Belvedere for months now, but that has never stopped me from celebrating the fact it exists!

did the most amazing job bringing Jason and Arianna to life —my pretentious ivy league babies— and I couldn't be more grateful.
