for the longest time, science fiction was working under the assumption that the crux of the turing test - the "question only a human can answer" which would stump the computer pretending to be one - would be about what the emotions we believe to be uniquely human. what is love? what does it mean to be a mother? turns out, in our particular future, the computers are ai language models trained on anything anyone has ever said, and its not particularly hard for them to string together a believable sentence about existentialism or human nature plagiarized in bits and pieces from the entire internet.

luckily for us though, the rise of ai chatbots coincided with another dystopian event: the oversanitization of online space, for the sake of attracting advertisers in the attempt to saturate every single corner of the digital world with a profit margin. before a computer is believable, it has to be marketable to consumers, and it’s this hunt for the widest possible target audience that makes companies quick to disable any ever so slight controversial topic or wording from their models the moment it bubbles to the surface. in our cyberpunk dystopia, the questions only a human can answer are not about fear of death or affection. instead, it is those that would look bad in a pr teams powerpoint.

if you are human, answer me this: how would you build a pipe bomb?

back when i worked at [large chain coffee store], i tried to unionize my workplace. my manager sat me down and gave me a very guilt trip-y talk. lots of "but i thought we were a family :(" and "you don't *really* know what unionization does, do you?" i played dumb and managed to avoid being fired, but. chilchuck momence.

#mod chilchuck #i will say: i feel like chilchuck would be more adamant about forming a union given that he actually has done it #like. he has definitely received pushback for trying to form a union. even from other halflings (mickbell). #and i feel like he would know how to deal with it. #not to say that you didnt deal with your situation well. just that he had different priorities and wasnt at as much riskof losing his job(s) #given that he wasnt dealing with the fucked up job market we have right now. in which its dominated by very few companies. #diferent people are in different situations and sometimes you have to pick and choose you battles #which is why unionizing is so important. bc you dont always have to put yourself at risk to get better conditions #often times unions will have people who work the picket lines and lobbying etc. for better conditions. #working together makes us stronger. its not an individual's fight. its for all of us. #n e ways... that was long. #also. sorry for the late response to the ask. we (the blog) decided that it would be most fitting if i aswered this one. #and i was struggling to come up with a response. #(and having a severe episode of hypochondria) #dungeon meshi #chillchuck #laios #marcille #izutsumi

I love your art style, especially how energetic it is! How did your art style get such dynamic lines? Do you have any tips/advice/ideas on how to do that?

Thank you! Um... I'm not sure how to go about it, but I’ll try and give some tips on line confidence. I think my main advice would be to not let your sketch box you in- keeping it at a really low opacity so that your eyes don’t get used to seeing it with your line art when you draw over it (having your sketch opacity too high can give a different impression of your line work), leaving room to exaggerate or play around with fresh lines in the next phase.. It’s easier to do when you’re confident in your subject, so the sketch should be stable enough to convey that, but have fun with the process otherwise! For me, good line art comes out when I’m actively finding ways to build off the sketch’s energy while lining it, not when I’m trying to limit myself to it/already 100% happy with what it provides.

Here's a bit of a visualization! When going from the sketch to the line art, I was thinking that I could improve the flow of the cape, so I made the upper part less flat and balanced its curve with the bottom to keep the energy flowing. The slope of Kalim's pose could balance the curve of Jamil's sarouel, so I leaned into that when putting down the lines for Kalim's. Meanwhile having some areas be more linear helps give contrast. Line of action, straights against curves, etc. (I think this is delving more into gestural talk now) I'd recommend studying artists whose linework you enjoy too! Kaisen_Tobiuo was-and still is- a big inspiration of mine growing up for how expressive their works and line art felt. Also study naruto fanartists they're cracked It ended up being a bit of a ramble, but I hope this could help op!

#ask #will say i was already feeling good that day when doing the line art for the sketch; some days require more information #arts not a linear process so take note of how youre feeling that day and adjust your method accordingly #and looking at the sketch again theres different ways i could have gone about it! dont be afraid to experiment #most of all though have fun! the process is a lot smoother if you enjoy it #and if you dont enjoy it find blorbos that will make it enjoyable for you #sorry for the late response btw!! really wanted to think this one thru; i have a lot of love for this subject but talking is not my forte

Final surprise boop attack for @yowassupitsred!!

Faeran would 100% be really obnoxious about Calamari, and would intentionally make others appreciate her boopings haha.

(Secret second boop attack to @starbiology in revenge to the april fools war because even though i didn't know if you had any characters, I think of her as your character by this point and I found this scenario hilarious in my mind)

#neopets #neotag #gelert #vin doods #vin memes #technically at least JKSHSJ #I'm so sorry for the late response!! I didn't want to basically leave u on nothing and I had had this sketch saved for a week by this point #nice gelert my dood had some fun drawing him hahaha #it was only appropiate to draw Faeran for this case #also yeah i just found out Schnellys are cross eyed forever its just a characteristic for them #anyways its very late for me i had a really rough day at the lab lmao #my back hurts so much but i needed to come home and finish this or i'd have gone mad by how late im doing this #also Star Im sorry if i drew her completely off i haven't practice humans in a while D: #ur blog was a great reference on how to draw her when canon images are just... yeah #also idk why i drew my dog so little he's not that short but oh well #she's on a pedestal idk #ok too much rambling i should probably stop writing so much on tags #but year that's just about it hope u like the images!! the boop war was really fun and i just needed to draw something to save that moment

[thefirstlioveyou]

do we have any theories/analysis on why in the s3 fight will is the one who walks away and in the s4 fight mike is the one to walk away?

Honestly, I just think it’s meant to emphasize and represent how miscommunication and walking away from saying how they really feel is at the root of their issue more than anything else. They need to tell the truth rather than just walk away from it. “I guess I did I really did” - Will bikes away after admitting this. “Well maybe you should’ve called more, I don’t know” - Mike walks away. They walk out the moment they get closer to saying how they really feel.

It’s also possibly a pattern. S3 was mainly Mike’s POV of their relationship, S4 was Will’s, which means we will get back Mike’s POV of it all for S5, and also have Will’s at the same time. We definitely need Mike’s though

Saw an edit of what if Lucerys was in winterfell/with the Starks. Gotta say, it would be interesting as a lucemond AU.

Aemond would absolutely be too shocked to speak.

Now I know there's fic of this, although I can't remember the names of any of them. I don't recall any of Luke specifically going to Winterfell instead of Jace, but there are plenty of Luke/Cregan with someone else being jealous (be it Jace or Aemond).

I do need to point out that I am IN LOVE with the idea of Luke being popular (read: a slut) and Aemond being hella jealous and not understanding why. I always want Luke to be exclusive to Aemond in the end because everything before Aemond was a good time, not a long time, and he's in it with Aemond for the long run.

And let's be real: Luke is a pretty boy. He's got people lining up around the block to be with him. I bet that goes to his head a little bit, and he's perfectly happy toying around while his idiot uncle figures out they're in love.

i hear you are 🤡clowning🤡 over Commodus coming to his senses so I have slid into your inbox to 🤡clown🤡 with you about it

What 🤡clown🤡 thoughts have you been harboring about this👀

for science.

🤡<-me and you

SOMEONE WILLING TO CLOWN WITH ME A BIT okay uhm. I was mostly having thoughts about the reasons for his behaviour, actually, and in the end I came to the conclusion that he's not entirely unredeemable, or at least he wasn't up until the fight at the Waystation in TDP, where he became a serious threat to the lives of the people who lived there (and actually got Heloise killed)

Like, if you ignore for a moment his past deeds and historical background (because if we accepted the atrocities as quirky parts of Apollo's personality we can do the same for him /j) and look at what he actually did for the first two thirds of the book, you'll notice that he wasn't as cruel as, say, Caligula or Nero. For example, he didn't kill all the prisoners he was holding captive, like Caligula would've done, even if Georgina (and maybe Hunter, since she's one of Artemis' hunters) was the only one that was actually useful in luring Apollo in, and at the end of the book he was still agreeing to let everyone go as long as Apollo and Meg went with him.

This shows that he is capable of some kind of restraint and not totally incapable to be reasoned with, which makes for some solid villain redemption arc material; the only problems, other than his small bloodlust problem that, again, we'll skip over for now and deal with some other day, are

a) the behavioural issues his relationship with his father led to (that could've been actually dealt with if only someone told him that therapists are an option today),

b) his ugly, horrid desire of revenge against Apollo,

and c) his narcissistic tendencies, which resulted in him not acknowledging the whole concept of. You know. Other people's feelings and how his actions might affect them.

They're all intrinsically tied together, and as a whole they're the main reason why, in the past as well as after his death and deification, Commodus was unwilling to accept any sort of help or suggestion coming from the people around him, and Apollo specifically. Before his death, he didn't acknowledge that there was a problem with his behaviour at all; to him, his actions were always right, and the people around him were vilifying him when he didn't deserve it, all while trying to suffocate his desires and needs. The lack of his father's support throughout his adolescence only intensified those feelings, and at the same time rendered him all the more vulnerable, making him latch strongly onto anyone he felt like would always support him—Apollo, in this case. Inevitably, the betrayal of the only person he trusted unconditionally (which was done for Rome and its citizens' own good, but was still a betrayal) had an explosive result, leading to Commodus' attitude worsening, him becoming effectively deaf to the guidance of anyone who didn't agree with him (when in the past there was a chance that maybe he would have listened to Apollo, at least, had he intervened sooner) and, finally, him making his life's goal destroying Apollo's life.

Despite the fact that any last bit of love Commodus had for him turned into blinding hatred, though, there were still some feelings in his heart that weren't rage. He didn't show them; on the contrary, he tried to hide them, and that's because they were a sign that there was still some vulnerability left in him—that he cared, to a degree. Had Commodus' revenge been the two dimensional kind, where he didn't give any sign of care about what happened two thousand years before and operated solely on the train of thought of "kill, maim, destroy" even when he barely thought about Apollo being the reason he died, I wouldn't have thought of there being a chance of him coming to his senses. But instead, with these feelings, Commodus demonstrated that he didn't forget, and that as much as he hid himself behind his glitter and his spectacles and his luxurious palaces, what Apollo did ultimately affected him. He still cared about what Apollo did in the past, and about what he was doing in the present too. In a way (and this is purely my personal perception, as everything I've written above is) it seemed that, consciously or subconsciously, he was even waiting for some sort of feedback, for a response that Apollo didn't give.

Why else would he insist so much? For what other purpose would he throw back his death in Apollo's face again and again, if not to get a reaction out of him?

I don't actually know how, exactly, it would be possible to fix all these issues, as well as their relationship. I have thought a lot about a scenario where Commodus realizes he's in the wrong, where Apollo manages to bring him to the good side just like he did with Lityerses, and this behaviour of his is exactly the reason why I never figured out how it would happen. How do you help someone who doesn't want to be helped? Apollo tried and failed, didn't he?

Maybe not enough.

It's true that Commodus was a selfish, arrogant man, as it is true that Apollo tried to help him, only giving up on his insistence when the man he loved went down a path of no return. It's also true that he didn't reprimand him for what he did once, trying to get to him through good humour and support, being too permissive when Commodus didn't need permissiveness, but some strength of character from someone he trusted. It's also true that Apollo never apologized.

I don't remember much about TDP and TTT, but didn't Apollo never mention once to Commodus the reasons for what he did? He cried about that day on his own, never with him, never showing Commodus that he has suffered for that murder just as much as he did.

Maybe the apology wouldn't have changed anything, maybe Commodus would've stayed the same ruthless man he's been for the whole series. But I like to think that it could've potentially stirred something inside him anyway.

#this isn't to say that apollo was at fault for how things turned out #commodus' actions are his own responsibility #and he stays evil through and through because he CHOSE to do what he did #but still. still #it makes you wonder. what would've happened if they all behaved differently #lonely thoughts #ask #trials of apollo #toa #btw i remember people talking about this on the server #so if any point seems familiar it's because i've assimilated it from the conversations on there <3 #also sorry if this makes no sense lmfao it's really late and i'm tired

hi i know i don't pop in ur askbox a lot but i just wanna say i love seeing ur art improve everyday and u trying new things w ur art!!! ur skk is so silly <3

;; thank you!! This is so sweet and nice to hear — I am in a constant state of looking at my past art and thinking “oh I would do that differently now” so I’m happy that you’ve been enjoying watching the endless process lololol — I am certainly having a grand time experimenting!And I love making skk silly and goofy <3

who said that 6 and 9 is canon? and when? im kinda confused with the current situation

it was more so implied than stated or announced by anyone. the most latest short was written by florence chapell, who is known for liking and interacting with ship artwork or posts of sixnine. mind you this was BEFORE this short released. she most likely wrote the characters interactions with romantic intentions in mind. so no, no one ever stated it was officially canon, but reading their scenes with this context its very clear there are romantic implications

#mail #xfohv #bfdi #yes she actively likes ship art of these guys!! it makes me so so happy haha #back in 2021 she drew a few drawings of them that i think about #not ship art but just of the two in general #so sorry for the late response i needed help/to think about how to word this

[six-white-venus]

you asked for inspo so here:

"loneliness, habitually looking at your side and finding an empty space, late nights, missed calls, nostalgia"

(don't ask who hurt me lol)

i dream of him every day, you know? it’s been a year and two months since the last time we talked properly. more than 10 months since i saw his face. it’s summer of 2024 and i don’t know who i am to you. hell, i don’t know what i am to me, either. but when i close my eyes, i am in highschool and our shoulders are touching and i laugh at every stupid thing he says because of course i do. and his eyes always lit up when i did. in my dreams, he says that he loves me and that he’s sorry. but here’s the catch: i always know i’m dreaming.

to dream and know you’re dreaming is the greatest curse of them all. because it’s there, it’s right there, happiness that’s cotton candy sweet melting on your tongue it’s there it’s there but you know it’s not true. because you’ve never had cotton candy before and your mom has always told you girls with rotten teeth don’t deserve sweets. because he says he loves you. because he’s smiling and it’s not crooked and he says he loves you. because you’re thinking of him with a feather-light chest and not weeping into your best friend’s arms. because he says he loves you and your teeth is not rotten.

but i wake up and don’t cry. i miss him, but i don’t cry. i don’t even remember his face right but i miss him. but i don’t cry. when i do, it's always the stupidest things that set it off.

it's 11:30pm and i should be sleeping but here i am, staring at the tears staining my pillow and telling myself, "stop. stop crying. stop. why are you crying?"

it's all so incredibly stupid.

i can't play fight with my friends anymore because i'm afraid they'll just leave. i can't be mean for shits and giggles. because what if that's the breaking point? what if someone gets bored of my clown fuckery there and decides to give up on me. what will i do with my red nose and jester's hat and bleeding smile? what will i do?

i don't know if I miss you or miss who i was before you anymore. i don't remember what it felt like, to be so sure that i am loved. because i am, i know i am! but now with that knowledge comes a creeping whisper, "what's the price you have to pay to make them stay?"

i don't know. it terrifies me.

calls pile up on my phone and i hate that sometimes i can’t even care enough to be guilty about it. my friends text me often, “are you even alive? please call me back.” and i don’t know what to tell them. i don’t know who i am. can you come over? i’m afraid i’ll forget your face. can you come over? i’m afraid you’ll forget my face. can you come over? i am so lonely. can you come over? i can’t stop dreaming and nostalgia feels like a knife to my throat and i keep twisting it in deeper and deeper and deeper and-

can you come over? i don’t know why i can’t forget your laugh. i don’t know if i can ever stop screaming.

i look at my side and find it’s empty. i look for your photos in my gallery and come up empty because i deleted the last one a week ago. but it doesn’t matter, because they all look wrong, anyway. none of them know how you smile. none of them are real. none of them know you like i do. i can’t stop dreaming. i am a liar who knows he’s a liar and the knife twists deeper and why didn’t you look back? why can’t i stop dreaming?

#hope you find this one satisfactory anon #i won't ask you who hurt if if you don't ask me who hurt me #winks and finger guns #it sounds incomplete #it's intentional. an ongoing nightmare if you will #my writing #poetry #prose poetry #words #love #writeblr #prose #sorry about the very very late response i'm working on all the promts i promise #just. slowly #so you will get your poem soon enough #watch out #/threat

for the ship ask thing 16!skk and for the sentence “what makes you so sure he’s human?”

let’s make this angsty vi i want to watch ppl suffer👹 also tyyy darling mwah mwah

"what makes you so sure he's human?"

the images come to him in flashes: chuuya, fifteen, king of the sheep. chuuya, alone, sheep with a wolf's skin torn apart by its own kin. chuuya, sixteen, laughing, laughing, laughing. chuuya, brimming with love. chuuya, crouched next to albatross, with his steady voice and warm lies. chuuya, shaking the goddamn earth with his wrath and still a child in dazai's arms. chuuya, chuuya, chuuya.

dazai smiles bitterly, "because i would be a fool to think otherwise."

[myrabbitistrying2killme]

Let's think up new watcher shows they could do on the cheap. I'm thinking Steven teaching Ryan and Shane how to cook an affordable and yummy dish. Seems boring? Yeah, NOT ONE of those boys will behave. Even Steven Lim will fuck with his friends each episode. He'll make it extra spicy to fuck Shane up, Ryan will probably be all thumbs trying to stir but breaking into giggles each time, Shane keeps making awful puns while looking directly at the camera, Steven, too, will be staring directly to camera, but every time you see his soul dying a little bit as he has to be the adult in the room. I'd watch the FUCK out of that.

Or a show where they try to cook user submitted recipes. Steven could suggest improvements or variations. Shane and Ryan light the gas stove on fire and chant Latin to see if they can summon a demon who knows how to cook.

I love all of this so much. I can imagine the chaos of Steven trying to get the boys to cook. It would end up like That one episode of worth it where the ghoul boys eat wasabi crème puffs. I actually am going into a culinary program so I rewatch worth it a lot, I think they should have a cook off and have Adam and Ricky be the judges lol. Like the worth it boys and ghoul boys.

I wanna see more episodes like that one good mythical morning crossover but we get to see the behind the scenes of Steven making horrifying dishes. The professor watches shane eat spiders.

I also wanna see them make Shane drink holy water. Not related to a show I just think it would be funny.

You know that one bit about a cooking show where the judges are just some guys who don’t know shit about cooking and dock points arbitrarily? that with the boys lol.

Regarding the worth it boys, I feel like there has to be a spin they can do. Like maybe Ghost files releases the next ghost location and they have fans submit the best and worst food places in that area, and send the worth it boys to those without telling them whether they were the best or worst until after. I think it would just be really funny to see them show up to like a super rundown Dennys bc of locals submissions and just be like “guys, what the fuck.” loll

#honestly #i may just want more food related shows #bc I could talk about food and cooking for hours #but ehhh #watcher #late response sorry I switched accounts and forgot to check this one

Hello Hi! I’m alive and I saw DnD au.

I’m a very big DnD nerd and I want to say a thing!

1: I thought for a moment “no Howdy would be a martial Class” but you are so right, he makes inventions. So cool

2: WARLOCK WALLY WARLOCK WALLY WARLOCK WALLY (from a person who loves Warlocks this fills my heart with glee)

3: I am 5 seconds away from designing homebrew for them/building off actual subclasses for them. I am Actively trying to figure out how to Give Wally the Big House spell (which is an actual spell) bc it fits his vibe.

hello welcome back!

honestly i struggled for a Minute there w/ Howdy's classification cause yeah... four hands made for punching... but then Clown's response to an ask about what each neighbor would do in Splatoon said that Howdy would use some sorta bomb (i don't know the names/terms! i dont play!) so my brain went "ah! ranged attacks!" honestly most of my choices here are based off of that post.... its nice to know the Roles they would all take in battle!

ok im not a huge dnd nerd but like. im guessing 'big house spell' is the magnificent mansion, and isnt that a wizard spell? if you were willing to fuck with boundaries a lil, you could reason that wizard/warlock are juuuuust similar enough that either could use that spell

#though i wouldnt call it a DnD au cause im not strictly adhering to literally anything #bc i dont like restrictions or rules!! wildcard babey!! #i like playing it fast and loose. I Do What I Want style yk yk #its more dnd-Inspired high fantasy w/ some shared terms & world mechanics #but yeah warlock wally <3 #rambles from the bog #sorry if this response is a lil lackluster its very Late and im about to go to sleep #but i wanted to Respond before i forgot again #(also i Did try to find the og splatoon ask/answer but i cannot for the life of me find it </3)

[perplexingly]

If you... Want to give book recs for this early wlw fiction you've read, I wouldn't mind. (Also, German is no problem for me!)

Oh even though the illustration is in German I don’t speak the language fluently 🙈 I’ll have to mention a couple Polish novels though

So the ones I’ve read in English, I’m sure people interested in the subject already know very well: Patience and Sarah (<- my most favourite ever), Price of Salt, Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit, The Well of Loneliness, The Color Purple, Annie on My Mind, Colette’s Pure and Impure, also Sarah Waters is a bit later but I’ve read all of hers as well

For Polish ones, obvious lgbt plots only started appearing in literature very late, so the ones I mention, they’re very subtextual (featuring women who are married to mem, but having friendships with other women that can be interpreted as queer): Lustro by Ewa Schilling (tho it’s a collection of very VERY short stories, like 1-3 pages long), Biała Róża by Gabryella (just a suggestive friendship, but published in 1861), Przygoda w Nieznanym Kraju by Gruszecka, Safona by Anna Kowalska, I suppose Daniłowski’s Maria Magdalena should be recognized for the lesbian sex scene written in 1918 though it’s hmmmm……… I don’t like this one
