"Okay, first of all, I didn't 'fall' off the edge, I made a strategic retreat. And Secondly, I don't have a 'weird thing' for Eliksni, I just think they're neat!" ask and rp blog for a rookie guardian from Destiny 2. Follows back from xdeusxmachinax. She/her.
y'know, I think you can do a coherent reading of the Witness as an analogy for generative AI and now I've thought it I can't unthink it... (I do not think this was the intention of the writers but it kinda fits)
the Witness is incapable of creating anything original, anything it makes is just a remix or mockery of other things.
It's soldiers, the Taken, the Shadow Legion, the Scorn, the Wrathborn, even the Hive, are all twisted versions of things that already exist - the Hive are a species it changed
The Dread in Final Shape are looking to be warped versions of different species It's pyramid ships are terraforming parts of the Earth right now, and Terraforming is something that the Traveller does, but the Traveller brought life, while the Witness can only turn things into a sterile place devoid of life
It rages against the Traveller because it wouldn't give them purpose, never understanding that purpose is what you create for yourself - the same way AI bros want to make art without actually doing any of the work or having any of the inspiration
It’s an old tradition that during a leap year women could propose to men. This was usually depicted as old or ugly women trapping men, but some art focused more on the role reversal and could be quite cute.
I have a soft spot in my heart for the last one because it plays on the idea of “undesirable” people, a tall masculine woman and a shy effeminate man, finding each other but instead of mocking them depicts it as sweet that she could finally ask him because he was too shy and insecure to ask her.
favourite selfship dynamic ever has GOT to be "this is an objectively evil character But What If I Was Their Favourite" . literally SO fucking real . and i AM their favourite . they told me so and they would never lie to me. sorry that they lied TO YOU but they wouldnt do that to me. im just built different
This piece started as a brush test, but then I refined it for anatomy practice. Then I thought "What if I made this a monochromatic piece?" And added shading. Then I thought to play with the lighting a bit, and wondered what was out the window. Then I added more colors and lighting until I had to put the pen down so I can do other things.
All this to say, enjoy the view of both out the window, and Witch's bare booty.
