Creativity is Banned

fantasy

I was chillin' and suddenly I had a Thought. This is that Thought.

Many years ago, the governing powers banned all creative expression. Now most people are just lacking in creativity, and free thought is wayyy forbidden.
but some people still create, and because there is so little creation everywhere else the few creators who do create have great power.

Just like ours, except when a powerful Artist uses their powers, then anything can happen.

not much magic is left in this place. The remaining magic is in the blood of Artists, special people who can manipulate the world through their creative expressions. A powerful Artist can change the appearance or even alter the shape of a thing with their Art. Singing, painting, Playing instruments, sketching, weaving, any form of art can have power. But some Artists don't even realize it, and can be found through their reckless use of magic.

like modern times; cell phones, Bluetooth, etc.

a book I glimpsed through called Shadowshapers, A Brief History of the Future by Starset, my talented artist sister and my own love for singing.

dont mind the picture, I just picked a random one from my gallery.
