Thank's FireFox for looking out and giving me these weird ass articles whenever I open a new tab, fufufufufu
https://slate.com/culture/2020/08/coloring-books-history-coronavirus.html As I buried myself in these projects, my thoughts eventually darkened, for reasons that may be familiar to anyone with some art-history training. What if the recent popularity of coloring books comes not from the creativity they purportedly inspire, but from the submission they induce? This, after all, has been their mission from the start. It may be lost to the fans of coloring books that their success peaked in the 19th century, when such publications taught children how to behave. And obedience seems to be what many of us crave in these pandemic days. Doesnt this sum up what coloring books are about: Stay within the lines? The Little Folks Painting Bookoften described as the first coloring bookinvited one to paint the illustrations of songs and tales about the harms of waking up late, being selfish, or playing a trick on your well-mannered cousin. The last story of the book is particularly revealing. It is about a brother and sister who wish to fly away from their boring, secluded life and are magically held captive on flying carpets that take them on a journey that never ends, a Dantesque hell of punishment that comes with the warning: Never be discontented, never wish for anything you cannot have. Doesnt this sum up what coloring books are about: Stay within the lines? The moral of the story is that I wasted minutes of my life reading this and now you have to hear about it. :P --- #1 Kaiju Fangirl ^_^ https://imgur.com/mptS9Qj ... Copied to Clipboard!

Maybe buy coloring books that aren't about boring things like going to bed early wtf. Can guarantee that was written by a bored Mormon mom for her Mormon friends.
