As gen-AI becomes more normalized (Chappell Roan encouraging it, grifters on the rise, young artists using it), I wanna express how I will never turn to it because it fundamentally bores me to my core. There is no reason for me to want to use gen-AI because I will never want to give up my autonomy in creating art. I never want to become reliant on an inhuman object for expression, least of all if that object is created and controlled by tech companies. I draw not because I want a drawing but because I love the process of drawing. So even in a future where everyone’s accepted it, I’m never gonna sway on this.
Victor Servranckx (Belgian, 1897-1965) - Opus 9 (1931)
One of the cool “inventions” of the 19th century were Geissler’s low-pressure gas tubes, very similar to today’s neon tubes. They soon became a toy to have at any self-respecting high society party.
the fact that any athlete can be subjected to "gender testing" on a whim because osmeone thinks she is too strong, too fast, just simply Too Good to be a woman is so fucking antifeminist, how can these people not see it?
How it feels to want to draw
Wanted to make another one of my ‘hydrozoan city’ leviathans (after fighting the divine beast in elden ring).
I imagine this one is much older and therefore has more conjoining colonies piloted by several ‘crowns’ (a term I made up for the piloting creatures in the head section) as well as far more complicated mimicry. Him big.
I feel like I should make a little info post showing its individual crown critters when they aren’t fused together? Idk
This might suck to hear, but if you're a people pleaser that is motivated by praise and avoids disagreements, you are easy to manipulate.
When I was in therapy after surviving years of domestic violence, my therapist had to tell me that my personality was primed for abuse and we needed to work on that so I would be better equipped to see the red flags and respond appropriately in the future.
I'm still working on this, and it's been 8 years. If you tell someone how you want to be treated, what behaviors you don't tolerate in your life, what you're looking for in that relationship, and they react negatively, don't compromise yourself. Just move on.
This one's for all the praise-kink girlies: differentiate, self-actualize, stay sexy
tickles me pink when you get a quest to kill ghosts in an rpg. like yeah this massive broadsword is gonna do just fine against these things.no rites no helping them move on just fucking cleaving them in twain
