Lots of thoughts recently. Everything feels plastic.
I could go on and on about why all that AI "art" is bad. I could mention theft, lack of creativity, it's impact on the work field and environment, but countless people have already said all that. I wanted to touch on something that to me is the most utterly wrong about all of it.
Art is more than just something pretty to look at or listen to. It's therapeutic. It's a form of communication. A tool for human connection. It's a pure, human need.

One of the things that hurt most about Arcane was that Vi always intended to go back to Powder. Vi could’ve kept walking but she didn’t. She just had to be away from everything to process, recuperate, and cry for a moment. After punching her sister and realizing what she had done, she needed to take a step back. Was leaving her emotionally vulnerable younger sister bad? Yes. Was it a high stress environment? Also yes. If that punk ass enforcer didn’t pull Vi away, Powder would’ve saw her, realize that she wasn’t being abandoned and wouldn’t have jumped into Silco’s arms.
I am a younger sibling myself, I also would’ve sobbed my eyes out if my sister walked away from me. However, this is something I realize later in life and not when I’m an emotionally undeveloped child. People. Need. Their. Breaks. Again, it wasn’t well thought out but Vi just experienced a traumatizing event caused by her kid sister because of her actions (not letting her come with). And i think she realized that but took it out on Powder. When I was hearing this out of context, I thought Vi was a horrible person, but I realize the context and realize that “hey, this was a shit situation.”
[For background, I’ve only seen these first 3 episodes but I’ve seen a lot of details of the show. Most of it has been out of context but—] Hot take: people saying that Jinx was a better older sibling to Isha by saying that Vi was a bad one is sucky. First of all, Vi was a kid. Second of all, and I can’t stress this enough, HIGH STRESS SITUATION. Third, VI WAS GOING TO COME BACK FOR HER IF IT WASNT FOR THAT PUNK ASS BITCH OF AN ENFORCER.
(I don’t know how popular that opinion is but I dislike it)
I WAS FUCKING RIGHT
I like to think that in somewhere in “Ruthlessness,” Poseidon gets a glimpse of how scary our boy Ody can be. Because at that moment, Poseidon is threatening his ability to go home and he’s do anything to get home, he later learns. So Ody is scared but also angry
Poseidon is in the middle of threatening Odysseus (or maybe after he kills his crew) and he catches a sliver of the man who dropped an infant because Zeus told him too and he would be able to go home. He sees a man who’s ready to get anything out of his way to get his and his crew home (yes, this is before his crew turns stupid and he ditched them) and then, it’s gone. And Poseidon thinks he must’ve imagined it.
Then in the later saga, Poseidon sees a totally different man than early because this man has no crew left to take home, has accepted that he is a monster, and has gone through pretty shitty things. BUT he is definitely more scary so Poseidon is secretly shaking in his flippers
(I have more thoughts but it’s late and I’ll just remember to add on later)
Edit: I just want people to be scared of Odysseus, not his fam or good subjects, but the bad people 😁

I kinda remember the time when me and my sisters watched the last episode of BBC Merlin. We all cried.
And then watched it again the next morning. (It was either because one of us missed it or watched it to let it fully sink in)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO OUR MOST BELOVED READER, KIM DOKJA🦑🩵
I just laughed as if I was crying [redraw]
It’s fairly new but if yall want to join, here’s the link!
How old do you guys think Odysseus is? I’m thinking at the beginning he’s 20 something because people did a lot of things younger (marriage, going to war, working) and when he goes back to Ithaca he’s like 40 or so or possibly 50
