#then it'd be totally fine

[necro-hamster]

ppl defending ai art by completely ignoring the genuine major issues that people have with it and pretending like ppl r just mad because they're Art Elitists and think that art should only be made through Suffering instead of being easy are some of the most embarrassing ppl tumblr has been recommending to me lately

#kris.txt #''erm well claiming that using art for databases is wrong just means you're defending ip laws'' #no actually i just don't think artists individual pieces should be used in a way they didn't consent to. #hope this helps #the issue isn't that ppl r ripping off a style or whatever #it's that they're taking work without permission #feeding it into a machine #and then often monetizing the result #it's a matter of consent #if an artist said they were fine with their stuff being used #and was compensated in some way #then it'd be totally fine #or if they used like public domain stuff then it'd be no problem #ai is specifically being used against artists not for them #which is a shame because i do think it could be a good tool

sneeping with his legs up over his head for some reason... weird boye

#cats #love the second picture... skrungly sleepy well rested boye face... #since he's an elderly boy now sometimes when he wakes up from a nap he looks a bit scruffy and squinty eyed #Hard to beleive he's like 15 though.. he still looks like a kitten to me.. due to his giant round creature eyes and childlike demeanor #I think it's interesting that like... baby cats are babies. kittens are kittens. and you can tell a cat is like 'young adult' phase #looking from like a few months to maybe 1yr or 2yrs.. but after that they just always look the same to me #a 5 yr old cat is a 10 yr old cat is a 15 year old cat. unless the cat in question is particulalry aged or youthful #I still have so so little energy... it's been icy here this week. like not even FUN but just scary icy even thoguh i lOOOVE the cold #and its my favorite weather. I think it'd be okay actually if I had a woodburning stove/fireplace/hearth thing. literally thats my only #concern with the power going out. I genuinely don't mind stuff like having to go to the bathroom in buckets or cook over a fire or do other #less conveninet things. Its just that if eveyrhtng is electric then you have no way to cook and all of that. well.. and I literally need #background noise to go to sleep lest my ocd sprials become so loud I am slowly driven into maddness.. but a few battery packs or something #and a phone with one downloaded video I could play on repeat is fine for that. I dont need internet. ANYWAY.. so so sad that my fav #orite season ever (winter) is here. and the first cold of the winter is like... just an ice storm that you cant even walk in. I #love like 4 feet of snow where you can play in it and stuff. But just a thin flat sheet of a few inches of ice over every imaginable surfac #is not really playable. the wind speeds are so high and so many trees fall it's actually not that safe to go hang out outside anyway unless #you were in a totally clear open field. which is SAD also because i love ice and high winds. i love to stand out there and get whipped in t #he face with ice crystals and feel like I'm in some dramatic movie or something. but alas.. the threat of being attacked by a falling tree. #I did go out some but again it's like. literallyyou cant walk on it. so I just squatted and dragged myself along the ground lol #One of my stories has a whole section where the main characters are trapped in a deadly cold environment for a week and have to use magic #to survive and etc. etc. so I'm always like.. ouuu.. I should go in the ice.. it's Writing Research actually.. *foolishly gets frostbite* #THOUGH yesterday I went on a harrowing evil journey down a bunch of icy hilly roads to go check on some person's cat because the cat #had been left in the house for like 5 days at that point with nobody to check on them and nobody else seemed to want to do anything #about it (like call all of the neighbors or try to get someone out there) so I just went myself with a roommate who agreed to drive me. #It seemed acting totally normal and I gave it more food and water but.. I am still worried about it.. Apparently the person will be able #to get back to their house tomorrow but.. I dont trust them. But I couldnt take the cat with me because it's like.. a stranger's cat #basically and also no carrier + very skittish.. so I feared if I just tried to carry them bare handed they'd definitely leap from my grasp #and then it'd be like.. sliding on a sheet of ice chasing a cat and so on.. I still think they need to be watched for health issues tho >:| #ANYWAY.... many cat adventures lately... and strange weather... I wish for a normal week without always so many Things Happening.. augh

#if anyone could spare a prayer tonight i'd appreciate it #having a rough night #turns out that being the nurse for your dying grandmother really stinks #staying on one side of the family-patient divide i'm totally fine #being on both sides means the emotional barrier is obliterated #so if you could spare a prayer for her happy death and for all of us it'd be pretty cool

anyway this is what i was actually trying to find. fucking thinking about this.

#NEED to know about their young adulthood. acele is described as 'late teens to early twenties' & we have no fucking clue how old evrart #is beyond 'around the same age as harry' which could mean anything when klaasje thinks hes 44 & kim thinks hes 56 #but i imagine they ARE actuslly very close in age bcus it'd just make sense wrt the timing of the revolution & all & yknow the parallels #so like they definitely could have been somewhere in their mid or late 20s when they came into power? & this 'at her age' as just a handful #of years before that? (choosing to just believe this line rather than taking it as him only trying to 'kids will be kids'ing away the drug #lab thing & making something up. so i can totally just like imagine lots of anger. at the state of things. about powerlessness. what do we #DO about it? probably getting into trouble & getting in fights for a long time. like leo says they ALWAYS came to help it wasn't just a one #off thing where they defended him it was just that one incident where the bullying stopped. bcus they beat him until he NEEDED STITCHES #like god i can just imagine their childhood & then the adolescent & young adult frustration & all of that coalescing into ok we WILL do #something to make things better. whatever it takes even. coming to the decision it's worth killing for #'your honor it's fine that my little meow meow had someone assassinated he had a bad childhood you see' #im chewing through concrete im throwing up im pacing my enclosure #anyway. me when i'm normal about the video game men #texticles #de #disco elysium #evrart

sometimes i think abt the morrowind/oblivion fanmade recreations being worked on and i get so excited but if i have to see a dreugh in HD i'm gonna throw up + cry. they have such cool designs and i appreciate them from a distance but they scare me so bad. like spiders. they're like spiders to me.

#liv rambles #i guess they kinda look like spiders. but i'm totally fine with the huge spiders in skyrim so idk #every time i've encountered a dreugh in those games i freak outtt it's so scary #i think it's bc they're so big. if they were the size of a chihuahua that'd be fine. it'd be fine

[frostysfrenzy]

you know I definitely don't love waking up to a terrible thunderstorm but if it happens to knock the power out in a few hours so I don't have to work, I'd be ok with that

#just rambling it's fine #it won't happen I'm sure and thats totally fine. but it'd be a little funny #knowing my luck I'd have to go in anyway #just wait until my phone has more battery cause its currently at 32

@bonetrousledbones "cannibal papyrus, you say 👀"

Only hypothetically of course!

The oversatuation/radiation caused monsters to develop all sorts of mutations, and the brothers were no exception...

Not saying that the mutations made them cannibals! Of course not! But there is a deep, insatiable craving for something that neither can figure out, and they maybe sometimes experiment in seeing what comes the closest to scratching that itch.

Doesn't help the underground is usually in varying states of famine, so even if they did resort to doing what they needed to survive, who would fault them for it?

#*besides* they hardly even count as monsters #more like labs rats #so even IF they were possibly leaching the magic or even going so far as to consume the souls of other monsters #which I'm not saying they have! #would it even really *be* cannibalism? #and we know Papyrus. IF he did resort to something like that. of COURSE he'd make it as painless as possible right? #and with the way the underground's going they're practically just a few years out from all *melding* together anyway right? #its *fine* it'd be TOTALLY fine #you know. if. *if* he was a cannibal. #what he IS is friendly and happy to meet you! he’s really not that scary! was he staring? whoops! sorry about that! #idek what on earth to call this au... #sun spots #..? #tw cannibalism

on one hand: i love me some good ol’ positive ‘fitz vacker + bodies of water’ fics /gen. 

on the other hand: twas a missed opportunity to not make the golden boy afraid of water. since water turns (impure) gold to rust (eventually), and all that. very fun metaphor opportunities slipped through canon’s fingers :(

#like. it would've made multiple parts of the books way more interesting!! having fitz panic in neverseen and nightfall because of all the #water? having fitz try and fail to not lose his mind during the breathing training scene thingy in lodestar? #having fitz get skiddish around everglen's lake? having the fight between alvar and fitz in flashback use the lake against fitz?? #fitz slowly realizing he's not pure golden boy and he never will be and slowly rusting away into someone new #that he originally views as lesser??? #come ON man. we were ROBBED #fitz vacker #extremely tempted to headcanon him as being scared of water and having to learn to tolerate/love it #would be even better if he learned that through keefe. since keefe fucking LOVES water #and would be like '!! you guys have a lake!! let's swim!!' and fitz would be trying to avoid an anxiety attack subtly and totally failing #and so keefe would help him get less and less scared of water bit by bit #so he's fine with it in canon now but pre-canon he wasn't #and maybe every time he sees water you can swim in he thinks of better days w/ keefe #and every time keefe sees fitz swim keefe wonders if he still thinks of him #but they never tell each other that #yeah nvm this is a headcanon close to my heart now lmao #it'd be so fun to experiment w/ in fics where keefe's a lifeguard or surfer or smth like that too!! #avery i am. i am looking at you #what are your thoughts on th #*this #kotlc #keeper of the lost cities #kotlc fic idea

Verdot trained Jae-hyo to stick to rifles initially for two reasons:

He had an aptitude for them already, albeit older models stolen during the Wutai War.

It kept Jae further away from his targets, thus creating more of a disconnect from the action potentially triggering a trauma response like that of his first kill.

His SNS triggered him to respond in an aggressive manner for his immediate survival, but shortly after he went into a 'fawn' state due to C-PTSD. Verdot had to physically remove Jae's hands from holding the corpse of his assaulter while he was reduced to apologetic begging.

Whether or not he continued to exhibit this response was a deciding factor in his consideration for recruitment.

#◈ headcanon #i might be getting this wrong but that's how I see it #like positive self conceptualization might have helped there like 'i am in work mode and i am confident when i am at work' #Jae is still a traumatized person and his responses can definitely vary depending on the inciting incident but yeah #he killed a man with a knife at 15 and that is extremely traumatizing so it'd be dumb to just be like 'oh yeah he was totally fine after'

Imagine if Jonathan had gotten his way and stayed home to protect Mina. He would have spent the whole time making somewhat alarming declarations of love to her and all,, but... The confrontation would have been so much more boring.

I mean I assume Quincey would shoot Dracula at some point, but no one else even came close to lunging at him with a giant knife then flinging themselves out a window after him, so. 😒

#dracula daily #step it up boys #jonathan's leaving you in the dust #it'd be just a bunch of fools holding crucifixes in the air #and meanwhile back at the asylum mina: i'm unclean now.... jonathan: that's totally fine look i will jump headfirst into the mud too

Recent sky photos 

#still... I am not joking.. every time I post things like this it is so hard to narrow them down #I am almost as obsessed with the sky as I am with cats. I have a folder of just cloud pictures with like 650 photos in it right now #I don't post them all because I think it'd seem repetitive probably but just know... lol #that could be an entire blog or something.. hundreds and hundreds... #Like the same way that I cannot explain my obsession with cats or why they've imprinted into my brain so heavily - clouds are the same way #anyway.. .still have the costume photos and stuff like that I just havent edited and posted yet lol.. I will.. hoepfully have actual art #content and stuff thats not just random cat photos sometime soon. I'm just always so preoccupied at the beginning of the year with trying to #adjust to new goals and schedules.. plus.. still wokriong on that wretched little slideshow aaaaaaaaaaaa... it is going to take me... #a million yearbs..... #I just want the worldbuiling lore established so I can branch out and do other things.. aughhhh...... #also have to work on game videos and a few other vidoes.. still trying to keep up wiht the youtube a little.. I just havent been productive #like since new years as I've felt sicker with my stomach symptoms and stuff.. ToT ALSO I DID MAKE THAT ENTIRE interactive fiction game which #I still have no posted anywhere lol.. Because it was kind of to accompany something that I was doing on a game site (like imagine making a g #ame to go along with one of your neopets or something) but it works totally fine as a standalone thing as well like. so detached from the #lore of the game site in general that it'd be broadly understandable and is it's own thing of course (because I dont really like writing #other people's characters/in the confine's of other worlds so I made everything original as possible with just a loose tie in to the neopets #typw thing lol) - but I figured since it works on it's own I could post it publicly other places too like 'hey look I made something' since #that is...... kind of somehting that counts as like... being creatively productive lol? like I keep talking about getting nothing done while #also forgetting about the things I actually HAVE done. alas I continuously forget. Seriously I am so bad at social media. I am never exagger #ating for comedic effect or something. I am the type of person that could legit like. write and produce and direct and complete a movie #that will be million dollars shown in theaters or something and I would forget to mention it anywherte until like 5 months later and go 'oh #uh .. oh yeah.. i should post about that online somehwere probably.. oops' . Cursed with the 'forget about everything once it's complete' #trait. Like the way my brain works is just like. once I finish something I'm immediately like 'cool! onto the next thing!!' without processi #ng what i just did. I'm just always looking forward to the next thing. I'll finish sculptures and then throw them away or forget about them. #I take photos and they sit in the drafts for 6 months before I post them. Like to me the enjoyment comes from the PROCESS of making somehtin #g but I don't care as much about the end result so it just doesnt exist in my brain anymore once I'm done? idk.. anyway ghjbhj #SORRY.. trying to be more active. I want to make and sell sculptures again. sell all of my spare clothes too. stuff. things.. aaa.. ***

fhdhdjdl i keep thinking "man I wanna make a f/o OC" and then I try to think about sort of what I'd want to go for and ,,, it just ends up being a knock-off of Guz or Mic ( ; ω ; )

#i am strapped in for life with the pre-existing characters i guess sbdjdl #or at least for now ! and its not a bad thing but i think it'd be nice to have an OC as a f/o #because then u dont have to worry abt getting weird feelings seeing other ppl openly thirst for the character dhdjdkl #(which is totally fine that ppl do that btw LOL it's just kind of a weird feeling when im so locked in w a character) #i think mostly im just having an itch to create a new OC in general fjsbfjl #i DO actually need a radio host OC for my worldbuild but I have a concept already in mind and she's pretty different from Mic #but yeah im ... hmmmm I will have to continue letting the idea of an OC being a f/o cook in my mind ... hmmmm #dandy.cmd

'fun' childhood memory time again:

when I was a kid, maybe 6 or 7, my mother and I were out riding our bikes together (I think that was unusual in itself). we were outside our village where there were fields and nothing else. then the path in the direction we were going in was blocked by a 'private road' sign that said you weren't allowed to go that way.

my mother said we'll go anyway (which would absolutely be fine, everyone does that and no one would mind - which I know now). I said we can't because that's not allowed. she insisted we go anyway, and I broke down crying because I was so scared and horrified. I had no idea where we were exactly but I was so upset that I turned around and went home on my own when she refused to go another way.

that's still a funny story she likes to tell sometimes (about how I was such a little governess who wanted everyone to always follow her rules). because it's sooo normal for a small child to have a breakdown over that (I couldn't stop crying the rest of the day because it scared me so much). because if a child reacted that way in front of me I would not think 'oh you're so bossy, you always want to get your way', I would think 'this child is so anxious that she can't do something completely fine and normal because a fucking sign says it's not allowed'.

or the time she told me to go to the dentist with her instead of going to school and I cried for hours (I had to go with her, she said so. but that's not allowed and I will get in trouble and I will have to lie about it and lying makes you a bad person). or literally dozens of other examples like that. it's probably unfair but I really do resent my parents for never realising/caring that that is not normal, and getting me the help I clearly needed (because now I'm 32 and just figuring out that that's not how other people feel and getting help is hard and scary).

#like I really just thought. everyone always thinks about everything this way #and that they're just much better at hiding it #but apparently they're not! #and now I will do something fun and not let myself think about this anymore because that did not end well last time. #it fucking sucks that this topic is the hardest to think about. because how do I tackle any of this if just thinking about it makes me lose #my damn mind. #personal #(ugh. still thinking. like.. how could they not realise that it isn't normal for a 4/5 year old to have horrible nightmares about her #grandma's house exploding. every. night. and that it would be my fault. because we got those little doll thingies in kindergarten that we #were supposed to tell our worries to and then put them under our pillow. so I had to tell them that I was worried about that. but if I #thought I did it the wrong way that'd just make the nightmares worse because obviously then it would definitely happen and it'd be my fault #because I didn't do it right. like HOW could anyone think that's totally fine and normal if it doesn't go away ever???)

The most bewildering like deeply ideological and not at all real-world realistic applicable I ever see expressed in fandom and which throws me for a loop every single time is like...

‘It’s bad when the Chosen One or Royal Heir (or whatever) has some kind of actual physical or magical superiority over normal people because it means that they really do deserve their position :/ and undermines any message the story might tell that oppression is Bad :/’

Like. Am I wrong or is this just. Actual uncritical might makes right thinking...???

A person having magical powers does not grant them a moral right to rule over others. Nor the same with fighting ability or general physical fitness or whatever. People are every bit as equally valuable and meaningful regardless of how ‘fit’ they are.

Like am I wrong or are the non-magical people in these scenarios basically just the in-world equivalent of disabled people. And so... obviously it should go without saying that these people aren’t necessarily incapable of having a say in the running of the kingdom or whatever. Like. There is just no logical reason why that should be the case.

And yet over and over I see this assumption made, that ‘hero has special magic’ somehow DOES imply, inevitably, that societal castes are right and good. That the only way to actually tell a story where people all have equal value is to make them all equally physically or magically capable (i.e., make nobody disabled).

IDK maybe it’s just me but it makes perfect sense that in a world where some people have special powers, they’d tend to oppress those who don’t. And that it would be harder for those who don’t to succeed or be able to triumph as heroes. Isn’t... isn’t that just literally how oppression works, IRL...?!

#I see this a LOT #but the most recent example (if I havent explained it well enough without one) #was to do with Fire Emblem and how in Three Houses the 'crests' are meant to be extremely important #in the sense that those born with a crest (just special minor magic) are venerated #while those without one are cast aside #and someone pointed out that it kinda sucks that in-game the crests mechanically do barely anything #and wondered how it'd be if those with crests actually did have a big combat advantage as units #and one reply said that it'd completely undermine the moral of the game that discrimination based on crests is bad #because the 'tragedy' of it apparently is that those with crests aren't actually any different #is it just me or is this??? saying that discrimination would be totally fine if some people did have stronger magical powers????? #keeping in mind that the discrimination in story is like... abandoning children. or abusing crestless kids in favour of crested ones. #does this person believe that it would be okay to child abuse a kid if your other kid has super strength? #it sounds so bonkers and yet I keep seeing it expressed as some deep and important progressive message #i just. don't get it!!!!!!!!!!! #fwiw fe4 DOES give the 'special' characters way bigger mechanical strength and I think that's cool haha #it sets up the 'traditional' kind of story where the noble kids are the heroes but you can tell a different one! #yes it is harder to make the commoners into heroes but that's the point! that's why it's satisfying!!!! #ANYWAY
