#reblogging because I agree

[aroacehanzawa]

analyze orv. over-analyze orv. chew it up and let every drop of meaning you can extract from it drip down your throat like honey and spit the husk back out. project yourself into orv. add your own meaning to orv. assume that singshong intended everything. assume that even if they didn't, it's okay, because the meaning that you've found is a reflection of your own lived experience and it loves you just as much as you love it. allow orv to mirror your experiences to you in a way that you find beautiful. conversely, allow it to not make sense to you at all. allow it to show you things you haven't seen, things you're uncomfortable with, and things you fear. allow yourself to disagree with it. criticize orv. point out things you disliked, things you feel could have been done better, characters who are flat and scenes which don't flow. please, just engage with what you read and pour yourself into it and allow it to pour itself into you

#i turned micah's post into a copypasta (with permission 👍) because it is literally orv. you agree reblog

yeah you say “cringe is dead” but do you still apologize about reblogging stuff related to your “cringy” interests? kill the mindset that you are somehow not included in that statement or we’re never actually going to change anything

#i have never been in a fandom that apologizes for liking the source media as much as the homestuck fandom does #like jesus christ STOP it’s not cute actually #we’re on tumblr. we’re literally on tumblr and you still feel the need to be like ‘omg so so sorry for reblogging this hs post teehee’ #if people unfollow you for it who cares. who. cares. #also not only is it 1) perpetuating a toxic culture of shame and 2) annoying #it’s highly disrespectful to the creator of the media #someone poured their heart and soul into the anime or book or album that you’re so ashamed of liking #by APOLOGIZING for liking something just because other people like to mock it you’re agreeing that this thing that you supposedly love #is defective. less than. worthy of mockery #i mean not only is that spineless as hell it’s like. imagine being a creator and knowing that not even your fans respect your work #so yeah. stop apologizing for liking the things you like. either express that affinity freely or shut the fuck up entirely #hm. im madder about this than i thought i was. lol. #op

we should not, in fact, bring back man-hating feminism

like you can say your post isn't a safe place for radfems and terfs all you want but you specifically said we should bring back man-hating feminism

man-hating feminism hates trans women of color first and foremost.

man-hating feminism hates muslim men, trans men, intersex people. and i say this again, most of all, man-hating feminism hates trans women of color more than anyone. (more on this point)

we do not need to bring that back. the idea of bringing that back should sicken you. it should anger you. it should be unthinkable that you would support that.

#swingset #do i agree that people on tiktok lamenting about not being housewives is a problem? yeah #do i agree that misandry is not a systemic issue like misogyny is and that mras are full of shit? yes #but do i think we should put trans women in danger in order to combat that? absolutely fucking not #i need to make this very clear because i think some of my mutuals who reblogged that post likely did not read it carefully enough #it does not matter if you say terfs and radfems aren't welcome on your page #because if you are using the rhetoric they use #you are inviting them into your community #whether you wanted to or not #so be more careful with your language please and thank you

want to give my two cents on the AI usage in the maestro trailer--

i think seventeen doing a whole concept that is anti-AI is very cool, especially as creatives themselves i think it's good that they're speaking up against it and i hope it gets more ppl talking about the issue. i also understand on a surface level the artistic choice (whether it was made by the members, the mv director, or whoever else), to directly use AI in contrast to real, human-made visuals and music in order to criticize it. i also appreciate that they clearly stated the intention of the use of AI at the beginning of the video

however, although i understand it to an extent, i do not agree with the choice to use AI to critique AI. one of the main ethical concerns with generative AI is that it is trained on other artists' work without their knowledge, consent, or compensation. and even when AI generated images are being used to critique AI, it still does not negate this particular ethical concern

the use of AI to critique also does not negate the fact that this is work that could have been done by an actual artist. i have seen some people argue that it's okay in this context because it's a critique specifically about AI, and it is content that never would have been done by a real artist anyway because it doesn't make sense for the story they're trying to tell. but i disagree. i think you can still tell the exact same story without using AI

and in fact, i would argue that it would make the anti-AI message stronger if they HAD paid an artist to draw/animate the scenes that are supposed to represent AI generated images. wouldn't it just be proof that humans can create images that are just as bad and nonsensical and soulless as AI, but that AI can't replicate the creativity and beauty and basic fucking anatomy that's in human-made art?

it feels very obvious this was not just a way to cut corners and costs like a lot of scummy people are using AI for. ultimately it was a very intentional creative decision, i just personally think it was a very poor one. and even if some ethical considerations were taken into account before this decision, i certainly don't think all of them were. at the very least i feel like the decision undermines the message they want to convey

i would also like to recognize that i myself am not an artist, and i have seen some artists that are totally on board with the use of AI in this specific context, so clearly this is not a topic that is cut and dry. but generative AI is still new, and i think it's important to keep having these conversations

#melia.txt #also want to add that as musicians svt are more directly threatened by AI generated audio than they are by AI generated images #and yet AI generated images is what was used in the video #and i guess the MV director/production company are the ones directly responsible for putting that in there #whether it was their initial idea or not #and they work in a visual medium so perhaps that makes it more 'fair' but idk it just feels like #the commentary is around music. which makes sense. and using human produced music/sound #but then taking advantage of AI images #idk just feels weird #i mean i don't like it either way #like i said in the main post i understand the intention behind the creative decision #and i'm still happy svt are speaking against ai at all i do think overall they're doing a good thing here #i just don't agree with the creative decision they/the production company/whoever made #edit: deleted the part about not boycotting svt over this bc ppl were commenting about boycotting bc of the 🛴 stuff #i meant specifically /I/ am not calling for a boycott because of specifically the ai stuff #was just trying to make a general point that im not making this post bc i want to sabatoge svt or whatever #bc kpop fans love to pull that catd whenever u criticize anything #so yeah just removed that bit bc i dont want ppl getting confused what im talking about #respect ppl boycotting because of scooter/israel stuff but thats not what this post was intended to be about #edit 2: turning off reblogs bc im going to bed and having asomewhat controversial post up is not gonna help me sleep well lol #may or my not turn rb's back on in the morning

is there truly any better feeling than sending your friends pictures of their F/Os when they least expect it

#I’m being slightly hyperbolic but I don’t care #I love looking forward to opportunities to gather screenshots or information when I’m playing a game or something #and then getting to send them all someone’s way and waiting in excited anticipation #and then the best part is getting to see their reaction to the pictures because seeing people happy makes me happy #they get to see their F/Os and I get to see them see their F/Os. I love seeing people gush. I love seeing people’s joy #isn’t it wonderful? to see people - even people you don’t know well! - in a good mood? #heart of the void #selfshipping #selfshipping positivity #reblogs are encouraged if you agree with the sentiment

You're in my thoughts; you're in my way.

There was this post* that mentioned Gilraen's "I gave Hope to the Dunedain; I kept no Hope for myself" and Elwing & Eärendil, and in the end was like "Tolkien and parents", and then I just had to remember how he literally considered his own mother something of a martyr (long story short, she converted to Catholicism with her sons and their very Protestant family just... disowned her. and Tolkien seemed to be sure that she would have lived longer if she had had their support, with the better healthcare it could have provided et all), and now I'm a little tearful.

#*am not making this a reblog of the post that prompted this because it was a long one and I didn't agree with all the sentiments therein #// #my post #Tolkien #Silmarillion #lotr #Tolkien's Catholicism #the professor #Gilraen #Elwing #eärendil #/ #there's definitely also Rian who could fit in here hmm #edit: and miriel??

So often I basically just want to post "hey this is something I experience, somewhat stereotypical autistic trait. Let me explain what it feels like" but then I overthink that it isnt worthy of sharing and I delete it all again.

#i dont know why really #it also feels weird when some of the stuff that really makes me struggle gets reblogged by many people #who all say stuff like yes this is what its like #because my knee jerk reaction is something like. you cant understand. because majority of my life there were indeed no people around who- #-actually understand. and im still stuck in the mindset of no one is like me. after i willingly tried to get close to community of people- #-who is kind of like me. sometimes. #so thats always weird to handle. its not bad on little things that dont affect me much. #but when its bigger things. more painful things. isolating things. etc. its exhausting to be agreed with #im working on it and its getting better but still

#like okay I refuse to shit on anyone’s queer rep parade #and apparently so does everyone else who agrees with me #because I see so many posts about the alleged healthiness of Stede and Ed’s relarionship #and I know I am not crazy. nor am I alone in thinking ‘what healthy relationship???’ #in the finale they are At Best taking their first solid steps towards a healthy relationship #but they haven’t achieved that shit yet. they are actually still the men who didn’t talk to each other. who ran away from each other. #you want to hope for the best. but it throws me off when ppl act like what we got was the best #posts like ‘oh even when he is furious enough to smash a chair into a wall he still wouldn’t hurt stede’ #the scene that reveals that Atede didn’t explain anything and Ed didn’t allow himself the closure of hearing explanations really should be #NOT considered evidence of healthy relationship #okay I’m done I just get sick of seeing that gifset with its reblogs saying that and #’oh they did so well balancing the inherent violence of pirates against healthy relationships’ #girl WHAT healthy relationship?? there’s not a single damn person at that dinner table that knows what a healthy relationship is! #(wait. forgot about Buttons) #(I want to ship these two losers but I want to ship it for the cringefail ongoing train wreck it is #not the perfect queer happily-ever-after-SOMEHOW fairy tale that I don’t think canon supports)

Beats tumblr users over the head with this image

#stop DMing me that I shouldn't reblog xyz post because the op has bad opinions #like it's somehow going to give me thoughtcrime cooties #I don't know about you but I am an adult capable of agreeing with people on a single issue without ratifying their entire worldview #and if that's too nuanced for you then maybe you should take a break from the internet for a while

[mokeonn]

I saw a post going around talking about a problem the op has with the terms "cozy" and "wholesome" being turned into a game genre/market and though I agree with some of the points made, I think my personal issue with it is that it's a shit marketing term.

For every game you call "cozy" or "wholesome" I guarantee there's a bunch of better words to describe it. The terms "wholesome" and "cozy" tell me absolutely nothing about the game, and at this point has basically just become a less sexist marketing term for "girl games!" It's just a shitty marketing term being used to round up any games and genres considered 'feminine' instead of just acknowledging them as regular video games and using regular words to describe them.

#simon says #i made my own post instead of reblogging the other because there were aspects of the post i did not agree with #and the personal points I wanted to bring up would derail from their post #but yeah I was originally just pissed because so many quote unquote wholesome games are under so many genres #so why not just use more articulate words to describe that game #but then i realized that it's just a (and forgive my usage of this term) PC way of saying girl games. #and the post turned into me pointing that out

[warabola]

it does make me laugh though because like. being in the fallen london fandom uniquely trained me to Destroy My Notifications in other, larger fandoms because i have the inability to keep my thoughts to myself and will be loudly effusive about the works and ideas of others. i will yell on tumblr. i will ask writers and artists to gush about their ideas and their favourite things. ingratiate yourself to fandoms by being unrepentantly enthusiastic.

#it's likely a side effect of being from Old Tumblr #like i only use likes to remind myself whether or not i've already reblogged something #or as a silent way of saying 'i agree/see you/send my support' #everything else is getting interacted with and shown off and shared with everyone #because i think y'all are incredible and your ideas are great and i want to hear more and also enjoy having others to pick ideas apart with
