Goodnight Dad I love you

You chose each other and he'll choose you again and again no matter what you are. #You can only hope you'll be able to stay and cling for much longer than you think you'll actually be able to. Dad. keep me here. #Spotify

is this your card? ♦️♣️♥️♠️ it isnt but you dont wanna hurt his feelings

#this was supposed to be a warmup but i got carried away.... i havent drawn in so long that its been hard to focus orz #im testing a new brush for fun. again.. i think i can use this for clean lineart..?? im surprised i went as long as i did with the #narinder brush honestly... but i wanna try something new so here we are again #if i could get my shit together id love to draw a model of his van because i have smth really cool in mind..i was looking at pictures #of old wooden caravans like the horse drawn ones and i wonder if i could combine that with the shape of an RV #i like the ones with a door at the rear bc it kinda lookslike a train caboose.. maybe he'd get someone to weld him a custom ride!! #idk how intricate and detailed i can design it without making it a pain in the ass to draw every time BUT i have a general idea #it would probably have a door on the side but idk if itd flip down to make a stage or upwards to make a roof?? and then theres a #curtain behind it where he would come out and do his show methinks.. ive been looking at pictures of camping vans on pinterest for ideas #i dont think he LIVES in the van since i mentioned his home is an old run down theatre when he isnt on the road. i wanna draw that too #but the RV should have enough for long travels like a bed and cabinets..? maybe a net hanging on the ceiling where all his props go #id like to think of ideas for a hometown.. toronto has a huge entertainment district so it would make sense for him to live there #although id also love to base parts of it from vancouver since id love to go back and visit </3 #..would there be furth names for those places?? nyancouver... clawronto... whinnypeg (like a horse whinny)... #pawson creek.... purrlington... otterwa.. i love coming up with names lol #my art #myart #my oc #oc #sleight #laikas comet oc #fan character #fur #furry art

What is the dust who is a assassin for Heilos like?

cynical but much mellower than you’d expect, since Helios keeps him levelled out with positivity. when his LV does become too much to handle anyway, he’s sent out on missions to get rid of dissidents. he doesn’t like being ordered around and finds Helios incredibly grating and hates all the admiration he gets… but also Dust sticks around with his head down for the free food, shelter, and the secret hope that making AUs positive by Helios’ orders will repent for all the bad he’s done. he’s only good for killing, right? so he may as well use that for the “greater good”. but if you ask he’d definitely imply it’s just for the LV.

#rayne's art #swapdream!totality #take this with a grain of salt i’m sick so i haven’t put my full 100% brain power behind his existence yet #but this is the general idea im going for i just need to ruminate more #uncover the implications and his motivations beyond surface level and all that #just when i don’t feel like my head is full of fluff

Stealing/ Affection: Link steals some time with Mipha after his death, and before his spirit rejoins his body in the shrine of resurrection.

#there was going to be a lot more of this but the general theme of this week is I had no time 😅 #and before his spirit rejoins his body in the shrine. #the idea that he coaxed her spirit out of her body one she was killed is a sweet one I think - maybe her spirit couldn't let go because she #wasn't able to admit defeat or she was trying to hold on so she could keep fighting or to see her father and Sidon and link one more time #but she was already dead and had no more strength to heal herself so link helps her 'cross over' as it were but is stopped halfway throug #? i guess because of the shrine. anyway it's not in Link's nature to leave his friends behind so I guess spirit link realised his fiancée a #d friends needed help (think the poe in ToTK) because the blights were holding them captive so he tries to help even though they've lost an #are all dead #because he's a hero and that's what he does #(and also he loves his fish and could never leave her when she needed help) #anyway some miphlink angst for y'all #but also hurt/comfort #because they both deserve it #I like to think they managed to steal a little more time together like Mipha had wanted #miphlinkweek2023 #miphlinkweek #miphlink #botw #mipha #link #ghosts #creativesplat draws #breath of the wild

stanning fengqing is so useless bc 100% of their interactions are them canonically trying to off one another, but the way i need to interpret them are borderline delusional. like yes, look, they briefly glanced at each other in absolute loathing and abhorrence of each other's existence, and they do indeed strike at each other's most mortifying moments with the intention to hurt deeply. BUT if you look CLOSELY at how their gazes LINGER then you can tell that they actually very slightly in a very teeny tiny way yearn for each other in a way that transcends distance and time...no no wait come back i swear it's true—

#tgcf #they literally never make it easy #fengqing #mu qing #feng xin #mxtx #tian guan ci fu #heaven official’s blessing #please i swear i have pure intentions #just fall in love and live happily ever after what is the ISSUE #esp mu qing like can you please stop hiding behind that persona and just be VULNERABLE FOR MORE THAN TWO SECONDS #AND FENG XIN STOP CUSSING AND SHOW YOUR LOYALTY TO YOUR OTHER FRIEND TOO GOD #guys guys what if: general! feng xin and concubine! mu qing au #brilliant idea someone write it

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

those 2011 pics remind me of hard the McLaren race suits used to fuck, I loved the vodafone era suits so much 🥹

YES AGREED!!! I love the Vodafone McLaren livery, literally peak!!!!!

Thank you for sending this ask bcs now I get to talk about 2011 in particular. There were these special Saturday race suits and they're all so pretty!!! Hugo Boss did a design competition to celebrate their partnership with McLaren and different artists made different designs for the Quali days. They're so beautiful 🥹🥹 Why can't they do anything fun like that now???? I digress, I went through all the Qualis and compiled pics of all of them!!

#which is your guys' fav? #mine would prob have to be Hungary. Japan. India. Malaysia. #i think all the Asian ones are soooooo cool with all the colors and animal motifs!! #anyways so right anon!!! vodafone mclaren was peak livery and designs!!! chrome/red >>>>>>>>> papaya #anyways hahaha prob not what you expected my reply to be #but this has been stuck in my brain for a while #i remember seeing the Hungary one at some point and thinking it was incredibly beautiful but having no idea the context behind it #and your ask made me finally go to research it #this was super fun to research bcs i didnt realize there was so many!!! literally 18 different racesuits.....so fucking sick..... #im obsessed with race overalls in general like theyre just so cool to me so to see all these different ones is just unbelievebly sick to me #one day ill make a post abt race suit details that make me feral(e.g. when suits used to have race belts & the FIA badge on the neck) #ive downloaded a lot of 2011 pics bcs of sebson but never rly thought any deeper abt why there were so many race suit varieties #the hungary one won the contest(very rightfully) so Jense wore it for the Brazil GP in entirety!! #i also think the Germany won as well bcs Lewis was wearing it for the Brazil gp? but im super biased towards the hungarian one haha #f1 lore??? i guess????? idk if this is obscure or not! obscure to me at least!! i mean that boss yt vid has only 2k views lmao #f1 #formula 1 #lewis hamilton #jenson button #mclaren #vodafone mclaren #formula oe #we do a little bit of f1 #catie.asks. #f1 lore

Desmond “Has Not Felt Anything Similar To Parental Affection In Like 30 Years” Sycamore

Been replaying Azran Legacy and I completely forgot Layton’s parents and Desmond know each other so maybe they kept in contact?

#professor layton #hershel layton #desmond sycamore #descole #desmond locklair #lucille layton #azran legacy #layton #art #fanart #my art #tagging his german name too because I Simply Have To #anyway the idea behind this is that Layton's parents kept in contact with Desmond after adopting layton #bc they obviously didnt wanna seperate the two brothers and felt bad for not being able to adopt him #so theyve always seen him as an honoary son of sorts or at least that if he needed anything they would absolutely try and help him #and post azran legacy after layton finally finds out he actually visits them bc they insisted on it #and he immediately turns soft after being given any sort of kindness or affection #i dont think they have a parent-son relationship but as stated before. they do see him as a honorary son of theirs bc hes layton's brother #MOST IMPORTANTLY desmond and layton make up instead of descole just fucking off #ive been re-binging this and i just generally remember i love descole a lot and i miss the series so much

Saw a teen wolf post about Derek and Stiles being feral and unhinged and not the pack mom and dad everyone writes them to be and while I wholeheartedly agree, they said “Derek grew up in a shack” and like?????? No he didn’t???? He grew up in a wealthy and influential family with a huge house. He moved to NYC after the fire with his sister, he only lived in questionable conditions for less than a year and he was already grown at that point like what

#you can’t be wrong while saying other people are wrong #like I get the purpose man #i get the meaning behind the post in general #but where tf did you get the idea that Derek grew up in a shack #what shack #where did that come from #the hale house was fuckin huge #he lived 17 years in a giant house #6 years in New York City #and less than one in random locations across BH #teen wolf #derek hale

this essay is going to be absolutely genius if I'm not talking rubbish

#girl either I'm having an epiphany or I'm stupid and I cannot articulate my epiphany clearly enough to know! #basically right ok the concept of authenticity #basically it's divided into two ideas - we perform authenticity relationally and then authenticity itself #which is what we're performing #but what if. the performance of authenticity were all there were. there's nothing behind it. ONLY the performance #performance is what CREATES the authentic! and as such the authentic is not a seperate concept from it! #I'm writing about food specifically Korean food but generally food and authenticity #thinking about pasta not being part of the italian national identity until immigration in the 19th century thinking about kimchi not being #fermented until the 16th century and the chili used in it not being native to Korea #like??? #but I may be Literally Insane who knows

I have two short-ish term plushie goals: making an inky cap mushroom creature (to experiment more with adding beads to plushies), and drawing a new pattern for a floppy quadruped of some kind. Idk what kind of quadruped I want to make, though. Dog, elephant, something else? What do you think?

#the person behind the yarn #I have an idea for the body shape and the limbs #but it could be pretty much any quadruped #maybe a sheep? maybe a cat #idk I just want to make a generic base pattern I can later modify to more animals

Trahearne deserves to go full feral at least once. You know. As a treat.

#trahearne #this is true generally speaking #(also the idea of angry trahearne does something to me that I shan't qualify 😶) #but this is very much about SotO #I've not been very active lately ans been mostly silent about SotO but #a few things lilypixy and I have properly worded : #1/ the wizards whole experiment with fractals and real people being used there is *very* wrong #2/ it's a wonder how and why Anwen and Meryw haven't already torn the wizard's tower to rubble for this #3/ it's an actual miracle that Trahearne stayed behind in Tyria or he'd have ended Isgarren there and then #(as for why Trahearne stayed behind... it's a matter for another post) #trahearne lives au #obviously

Dincember 2023 - Day 6: Gift

His mother used to say he was special. Which didn’t mean much, she was his mother after all, and he never really understood what she meant.

Din was not special. He was no handsome and no oddity. His nose was slightly too big, and his eyes didn’t look like anything inspiring. He wasn’t good at talking. He wasn’t always really good at thinking. His teacher sure thought he wasn’t much good at either. His name wasn’t important, no more than his father’s and his mother’s, which he had forgotten a long time ago. He wasn’t exceptionally generous, or creative, he wasn’t even annoying enough to be remembered.

He was a good fighter. Skilled and precise, even if not always elegant. He was a good hunter. Careful and calculated, patient for the most part. His face was concealed, hidden under the flawless work of the Armorer. People found him useful, and he figured that was enough.

Then he found a wrinkled green child in an abandoned pod.

His òma talked a lot about magic and ghosts. She firmly believed in everything Din never did. He always found her a little bit strange. But every day that passed, every time Grogu pulled out a new trick out of his sleeve, the man could almost hear her croaky voice chuckling all smug at his ignorance being challenged over and over again.

Weeks passed, then turned into months who morphed into habit, into a whole new life still shy and uncertain. They met people, helped most of them. Slowly, things got weirder.

People smiled at Din. They shook his hand and patted his pauldrons in thanks, in reverence. The looks appeased, less children were cradled closer to their parents as he passed by. He began to get recognized by others than bounty hunters.

They built a home. Small but warm and solid, alone in the Nevarro flats, with their own tree in the yard and a little bit of peace seeping between the walls. Grogu got his own room and spent months before he finally slept whole night in it. Din had a real kitchen for the first time since he was still in red robes, and discovered he didn’t hate cooking.

They built a life. That little life once all shaky grew roots. Din travelled for jobs, Grogu oftentimes followed him, sometimes didn’t. They visited friends some days, mourned the ones they had lost some nights. They had visitors. Some only passed by, some stayed, and that was another story in its own curious self. Grogu didn’t grow much, but Din grew grayer.

When he turned 50 and Grogu 61, the patches on his jaw had turned white and the child was only a few inches taller, and he began to worry.

When he turned 60 and Grogu 71, the creases around his eyes dug deeper into his skin and the child talked his ears off everyday, and he tried to ignore the constant ringing in his ears.

When he turned 70 and Grogu 81, he could still follow the kid around, but Grogu would always be ahead.

When he turned 80 and Grogu 91, they stop travelling, and he realized, he was getting tired.

When he turned 90 and Grogu 101, he felt no longer like a warrior, and he knew his child was no longer a child.

His time would come eventually, like it was always meant to. Every night until then, he would tuck Grogu into bed, then it would be the other way around, and every time he thanked the stars for the priceless gift he had been given, that blessing disguised in green ears and impossibly deep eyes.

#dincember 2023 #This one got more bittersweet than intended #I got stuck for two days on this prompt just to come up with an idea #Definitely NOT staying within the Christmas theme despite my best attempts #I'm sorry #also Din is the most gorgeous kind smart generous man and this talk is just him behind self-derogatory #din djarin #din grogu #my works
