asking astarion if he's cool with you hooking up w/ halsin is also very funny to me. i love how he's just like "oh i've been wondering when this would come up bc i've seen him staring at your ass while talking about the freedom of nature."

#also i fully clocked halsin wanting astarion to participate someday #i am HERE for the halsin x tav x astarion cuddles give them to ME #bg3 #baldur's gate 3 #astarion ancunin #halsin #archdruid halsin #tav #tav bg3 #bg3 tav #tav x astarion #astarion x tav #halsin x tav #tav x halsin #halsin x tav x astarion

deeply refreshing to see someone critical of Swift who also like, genuinely likes her. Like i'm neutral to positive on her, but the online discourse has been absolutely rancid. flipping between "Taylor Swift has never done anything wrong ever and she's a fucking genius" and "Taylor Swift is the worst lyricist of all time and also a bad person" is exhausting, so thank you for like. nuance or something lmao

not to make it serious for a sec but i genuinely think that being able to like things that are bad is really important. like I think that it's an important skill to be able to look at something and see what you personally enjoy about it and then take a step back and acknowledge that objectively it's flawed. and to also be able to acknowledge that liking something isn't necessarily an identity or a moral stance. and i think that fandom space in general could really benefit from more people taking the time to learn how to do that. it's okay to like things that are bad

#people ask me sometimes why ill occasionally talk about something i like and then go 'but it's bad' and the answer is usually because it is #i love teen wolf. i love genshin impact. i love detective conan. and i fucking LOVE taylor swift. that doesnt mean theyre good #it just means i like them. and recognizing their flaws actually helps me better identify what i like about them! #it's like. in my mind bad > good is the x axis and i like it > i dont like it is the y axis yk. they're not mutually exclusive #tldr it's not that serious. we can all relax a little #irt taylor swift i do also think she has done some real harm to her fans in enabling them to deflect all criticism of her as misogyny #and i don't think it's fully the fault of these people who are parroting that response bc so much of her marketing has deliberately #reinforced this idea that to be a swiftie is to be a part of a sisterhood and that any attack on taylor is an attack on all of those women #who are in that in-group. when that's obviously not the case. but she's marketed herself as. for lack of a better term. 'girl music' #to the point where it makes her fans feel as though any criticism of the music or the woman responsible for it is an attack on their #personal experience of womanhood/girlhood/sisterhood/etc. and that's how you get all of thess bad-faith accusations of misogyny #i don't necessarily think this was her deliberate goal with her marketing tho because like. on first glance such a strong sense of communit #among fans sounds like a great thing. the friendship bracelets i got at the eras tour movie are really genuinely special to me. #but it does present a problem when your fans are unable to separate how they feel about the community and experience your music has fostere #from how they feel about you as a person. especially when you are a billionaire who absolutely CANNOT be above criticism in this economy #anyway. tldr i love taylor's music and i don't think swiftie hivemind is as deliberately malicious as it may seem #but it's obviously necessary to be able to take a step back and look objectively at what you're participating in. #anyway stream ttpd or don't idc <3 #taylor swift

hello from a swiftie being tortured by a poet (aka taylor swift)

[werewolf-w1tch]

finally finished the dtiys that @ask-the-cat-cafe is hosting! honestly wasn't sure i'd make the deadline with finals crunch lmao

#honestly this isn't usually something i'd pick up #but i liked the idea of it and i needed a way to challenge myself i think #i took out a few cats bc i understood the want for visual clutter #but i felt that the original wasn't cluttered with intention if that makes sense? #like the push for getting every character in frame actively hurt its coherency in a way that just made it look muddled #ive never participated in a dtiys before and i had fun! #might try more in the future #tccdtiys #my art #im not gonna look too hard at the mistakes its been SO long since ive done something fully inked colored and shaded

SubScorp Week 2023 - Day 7: Brother In Law

I hate that Kuai only gets a one panel appearance, but the drama of Hanzo having to deal with Bi-han? Irresistible

@subscorp-week

#gopher art #subscorpweek2023 #mortal kombat #subscorp #mk subzero #kuai liang #mk scorpion #hanzo hasashi #noob saibot #bi han #aaaaand thats it! thats the last of my stuff for the week! it was so awesome to participate in my first ever fandom week 💙💛💙💛 #btw the crustiness of this page is fully intentional. i wanted it to look like a sorta crappy scanalation of an old doujin #damn. does anyone remember the good old days of folks posting their fan translations of yaoi doujin on this hellsite? that was way before #i made my blog and im sure its all been wiped off the face of the platform. but it was super formative for me

LeoPril week Day 9: Alternate Universe I wanted to do a piece featuring the AU myself and my friend @blye-flower have been creating on the side. In this AU, April comes to live in a very strange apartment that is (unknowingly) a home to various yokai and other spirits! In true April fashion, she dives deep into the mysteries behind the apartment and it's inhabitants... And all the while, there is a very loud and *obnoxious* neighbor who doesn't know it's impolite to play guitar in the early AM hours! What secrets does he hide? Will April find them out? Stay tuned! Thanks for the fun week, @aprilleoblog!

This is like if Kowalski drew a map of the HQ, but Skipper made him redact part of it.

#2023madaparty #Theme 4: Home #I don't really have time to do any fully “finished” drawings #but I really want to participate more this year #so I'm trying to just post what I have and worry less about perfection #what would be really fun would be re-watching all of tpom... taking notes of every room and tunnel I see.... and then combining it ALL #into one big drawing #my art #fanart #tpom #the penguins of madagascar #2023madagascarparty

the fact of the matter is that given the current state of both the art industry and the legal landscape of copyright/ip law, there will not ever be legislation around AI image generation that restricts companies while benefiting independent artists. rather than pushing for formal legal weigh-ins on what does or does not qualify as theft by generative outputs (i still think there could be something to be said about what companies are legally allowed to input into their generative models) we really just need to continue to. well. use our brains.

i may be in the minority in that i believe there are plenty of ways to use generative models as a tool in your artistic process (rather than being a replacement for an artistic process) that doesn't infringe on the work or livelihood of your fellow artists. and rather than wasting energy on trying to shove this genie back into the bottle, which, will not ever happen, we should work on publicly discussing where these boundaries lie. and we should also, without question, continue giving major shit to companies who are using AI generated images to avoid paying artists.

#ive seen a lot of people who seem to be of the sentiment that generative images are comparable to the NFT fad and will just disappear soon #and while the hype will undoubtedly die down #this is not a technology we are ever getting rid of. so we have to learn how to integrate it into the larger culture of independent artmaki #if we fully refuse to participate in the ai discussion beyond 'all use of image generation is unforgivable' #then we de facto cede the development of social norms for acceptable use for AI images to corporations and other non-artists #going scorched earth on this one isnt gonna work guys! it just wont!

[frukmerunning]

im speaking as someone who loves being a hater but if you exist in fandom solely to hate on other people and how they choose to experience the fandom.... what are you even doing?

#I fully cannot imagine being that miserable all the time #and again #I LOVE being a hater #hating things brings me joy #but I also enjoy participating in fandom in a non hater way #also when im a hater its never that serious #like yeah I loathe the ship that shall not be named #but I do try my hardest to criticize just the ship and not the innocent people that are shipping it #now if you're not innocent that's another thing and we have beef #but it's not SERIOUS beef #I hope someone is picking up what im putting down here #anyway please spread joy and not hate

[roitaminnah]

okay i'll bite,,,, but just so you know I am doing these sketches day of with zero preperation..... n e ways... stargazing....

also I re-read maybe I'm not all you thought yesterday (one of my faves) so a little of that too... for sleepover....

#butterfly soup #butterfly soup 2 #ppkm #ppkmweek2023 #is that the tag? idk idk #the first 'week' i participated in i genuinely thought everyone was making the drawings day of . like fully rendered drawings #so I did that. alas now I am no wiser. #I like how so many people chose stargazing because sleepover is hard to be honest. but I love maybe I'm not all you thought that's my. #favorite ppkm sleepover but I've already drawn it so alas! a different section of the story then #tried to draw them kissing in an industrial dryer yesterday it didn't go over well. #in general none of my drawings have gone over well as of recent. alas I fear I am experiencing extreme art block and burnout #u know I really need to finish roses are red. I re read that one to and it was good! and I just left that poor baby unfinished. #alas #roi draws #roi writes a short novel in the tags

Knuckles Wachowski who grew up with people chasing him, the last echidna, to use as a weapon or enjoy as an oddity, hearing stories of the savage, greedy echidnas who were vanquished by the noble, wise owls (echidnas who may or may not have even been real!) and this is all out in the open; common knowledge around the galaxy: Knuckles. Last echidna (that possibly fictitious species from the villains.wiki page). "Most Dangerous Warrior in the Galaxy" -- a title earned via involuntary participation in the Casino World coliseums.

And then he comes to earth where nobody knows any of these things about him or his people and he's not gonna tell them because why invite more of that into his life (also, he asked, and his trauma said he can’t show any weakness Or Else).

Only one who knows anything (and thus has context for some of Knuckles' more bizarre behavior and hang-ups)? Tails. Who is eight.

#I just think Tails and Knuckles have the potential for an interesting brother dynamic #Knuckles is actin a certain way cuz Trauma #meanwhile Tails #has the facts that explain it all #but he's 8 #so he doesn't fully realize/know what to do #and he's too anxious to confront Knux or tell anyone else #some day Tails as an adult will look back like #'oh maybe the reason Knuckles couldn't relate to kids his age #isn't cuz he was unfriendly it was cuz while they were forced to play soccer he was forced to participate in blood sports' #angst #knuckles angst #knuckles headcanons #Knuckles Wachowski #Tails Wachowski #anyway I have 2 totally different scenes in my wips #where Knuckles gets fed up and decides to leave their tribe #and Tails convinces him to stay #cuz he's got Context
