I feel like I’d allow this in a kid’s room. It’s fully behind the door so I don’t have to look at it and it’s their space.

Ultimately, it’s less destructive to the house than the missing door stopper.

[–] AstralPath@lemmy.ca 38 points 11 months ago

Yeah that's what I was thinking too. At a certain age where they're not just finger painting randomness anymore, why not let a kid run wild with their room. It's not the end of the world if you need to re-paint the walls if you need to move.

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 13 points 11 months ago (1 children)

It's a hollow core door, it's mostly paper anyway.

"I'm empty inside, but I still work."

I know, door. Me too...

[–] Venus_Ziegenfalle@feddit.org 11 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I'd allow or even encourage something like this but ideally only on the wall and not covering the door plus not with crayons or marker since those can be a pain to paint over. But other than that I agree, why not? It's a way for them to incorporate their own design ideas into their living space.

You're damn right I'm okay with it.

[–] the_q@lemm.ee 46 points 11 months ago (1 children)

If I had a kid and they did this I'd take them out to buy them more art supplies.

[–] TheSlad@sh.itjust.works 10 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Heck i'd get enough for me too and join her!

[–] caboose2006@lemm.ee 6 points 11 months ago

Honestly if they're not doing damage have at it. We're painting this room before we move out anyway.

now there's a kid that's going places. Not college, but places.

ehhh, I was gonna guess probably furry conventions or perhaps more optimistically a lucrative career in shitposty webcomics (think oglaf), but sure lets shoot for the moon.

[–] grysbok@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 11 months ago (3 children)

I hear furry art is lucrative.

Oglaf is God tier art how dare you.

[–] YaDownWitCPP@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago

Same thing.

[–] cynar@lemmy.world 36 points 11 months ago (2 children)

You can spot the parents here.

They are expressing themselves, having fun, and off the iPad. They even put it where I don't have to see it too often. I'll call it a win.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmings.world 12 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Yep, this is how Michelangelo started, painting his bedroom walls. One day, it's the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. Well, that's been done, but maybe the food court ceiling at the mall.

[–] baines@lemmy.cafe 4 points 11 months ago

what’s a mall food court grandpa?

[–] DogWater@lemmy.world 9 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

Not really, my parents would've crucified me for this lol

I think it is correct to let a child do something like this in their own space, but I'm not a parent lol

And like I said, my parents who, if you can believe this, are parents, would've killed me.

[–] cynar@lemmy.world 9 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I think it's a bit of a generational thing. The internet has given us access to a lot more reliable information. Far more parents have learnt the difference between what's effective and what feels good. Yelling feels good, it doesn't actually work very well. Rolling with it, followed by a calm discussion gets far better results. Achieving this mentality is another matter, but using it as a goal helps moderate your reaction.

[–] DogWater@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

100% agree with this.

[–] Lazycog@sopuli.xyz 29 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Missing the pop-tart body, otherwise we could have had a wild Nyan Moose

[–] IndiBrony@lemmy.world 18 points 11 months ago (2 children)

I thought Nyan cat translated to cat cat?

*Looks up Japanese for moose

What we have here is a Mūsu Moose!

[–] corvi@lemm.ee 19 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Close. Nyan, or nya, is the equivalent of meow. So you need whatever sound a Japanese moose makes.

[–] hungprocess@lemmy.sdf.org 13 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I believe the sound is 「おい、ロッキー、僕が帽子からウサギを出すところを見てよ!」

(Ah yes, my finest work: a joke in a language I don't speak well about a 65+ year old show most folks here probably haven't watched. 😅)

[–] wieson@feddit.org 2 points 11 months ago (2 children)

[–] hungprocess@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 11 months ago

Now I want to try watching Holy Grail in Japanese.

[–] grysbok@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 11 months ago

I know some of those characters! 🥰 (I'm on the "N" column in my hiragana learning app)

[–] Lazycog@sopuli.xyz 8 points 11 months ago

I didn't know this. Mūsu Moose sounds even better! Mūsu Moose it is!

[–] eatsumbum@lemmy.world 21 points 11 months ago

I'm okay with it. Pretty great actually.

[–] user224@lemmy.sdf.org 20 points 11 months ago

Eh. My opinion on this is "Your room, your walls." Unless the kid decides to start drilling holes or otherwise destroying the wall, it's fine. It can be painted over later on.

Or, it may be a good opportunity for washable paint.

[–] moakley@lemmy.world 20 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, I'd probably leave that up for a few years. I have trouble throwing away any of her artwork.

[–] Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago

I'd stick it in a gallery, must be on the original medium though.

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 15 points 11 months ago

Yup. Go for it, kid. And the best part is you can drag out the rainbow farting moose any time a childhood story is needed to mildly embarrass and laugh with your kid.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 13 points 11 months ago

I say keep it. It'll distract from the hole in the drywall.

[–] PapaStevesy@lemmy.world 11 points 11 months ago

At least she got the colors in the right order!

[–] glowing_hans@sopuli.xyz 11 points 11 months ago

this is the artwork of the century.

[–] tasankovasara@sopuli.xyz 9 points 11 months ago

Nice styles, lucky she's good :D

[–] AgentOrangesicle@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago

We had an art wall. You need an art wall.

[–] Goretantath@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

Fuck it, let it stand. Just tell her not to do it anywhere but her own room.
