#and I could not

[lucrezianoin]

Look, I don't know much about AI art. I don't know how it works, I don't know how the training works - I hate it mainly because of two reasons:

It is a grift, it attempts to lead to monetary earnings while using copyrighted and stolen art/creation of real people, while at the same time devaluing them and replacing their jobs

As someone who enjoys art, it feels souless. The heartbreaking feel I got when I was looking for medieval art and found AI art will always stay with me, the way I felt betrayed at finding fake lifeless stuff thrown at me instead of the history of humanity I was looking for

BUT

I had no idea it was just this bad?? I still had this image of it that AI art worked as a kind of "I have an idea, I describe it, and it gets created", and I had no idea it was more like "I try to describe an image in my mind, I gamble, and gamble, until I feel something that vaguely works".

I tried for curiosity and it was absolutely hilarious. HILARIOUS I TELL YOU. This is not the artistic process?? That comes from: having an idea in your mind, working around your own limitations. And sometimes your limitations are what makes good art because you change accordingly, and sometimes they disappear or change over time as well.

Now I 100% believe that AI artist just daydream something, then try to describe it, then spend hours clicking "roll", like some kind of slot-machine, until they find a piece of (stolen) art that vaguely resembles their idea - except that they always seem so happy, so much that I also have to believe that their initial idea was nothing more than vibes. Because how can you not be frustrated otherwise=

I TRIED IT AND IT WAS BAD -

Also it's homophobic

#I was like let's see... and i tried to make my OC #and i could not #and i tried to make them kiss #and one of them turned into a woman #multiple times #so i was of the assumption that AI art could be made but it was wrong because of the absence of human imput and because of the stealing of #but no... it just does not... exist... it is a SLOT MACHINE

being a man is so expensive...

#Ooc #Im always expected to pay for everything when im around the women i know. even if im not dating any of them #And im being a bit dramatic when i say “everything” #But i mean for instance #It's the new coworker's birthday today and we all wanted to take her out to lunch #We promised to pay for her #But i know it will be only me paying for her meal #And i could not #Technically. #And im pretty sure most of them wouldn't comment on it #But the expectation is there anyway #Because if i dont do it no one else will #And then it'll be my fault that she has to pay for herself. #So hahaha whatever i guess #I'll just do what im supposed to do ig #There are worse things in the world #$20 extra dollars is fine #im just complaining #Tbd;:

anti honesty hour you fuckin bald crocodile or nah

there's no good way to answer this question:

if I say "but he's NOT bald" then I get "EYYYY so you're fuckin him then"

if I say "NOPE!" then I get "You know, like a liar o u o"

if I say "YEP" then i'm getting "At least you admit it" THERE'S NO GOOD WAY T--

sighs.

Noooooooooooo there definitely exists some iteration of Crocodile that I wouldn't fuck at this point, the balding situation is TOTALLY a deal breaker. Also I have so much dignity and I'm so ooo oo normal about that man it's true.

#hilariously talkin to Aya last night and she like #'hahaha he's got a receding hairline #and I quietly spent like an hour trying to find a picture of him to prove her wrong #and I could not #sigh sigh middle aged war criminals #ily bby <33333 thank you for the ask! #av answers #ask games

god I would be UNSTOPPABLE if I was capable of consistently initiating tasks. just you wait. you'll be waiting a while but just you wait

#executive dysfunction #shitpost #every day I get stuck in waiting mode for SO LONG and SO MANY TIMES #that one time I tried adhd meds it fixed it but then I. was like no I am going to be scared and not continue taking it <3 #and also. I simply did not like the psychologist and did not want to have to go back #so. rawdogging the world <3 #man if I could start a task right now...then you'd see...then you'd all see....

When I was a kid one of my moms would call her period "moon time" or "her monthlies" or shit like that and my other mom straight up stealthed it, but when I'm a dad I think I'm gonna go straight down the middle and call it Werewolf Week. Like sorry kids, dad can't roughouse right now, it's Werewolf Week

#Plus my sense of smell always goes crazy like a couple days prior #So #I feel like I could really lean into the mythos #They'll get the talk of course but Werewolf Week sounds way cooler than Lady Time or whatever the fuck

i do unironically think the best artists of our generation are posting to get 20 notes and 3 reblogs btw. that fanfic with like 45 kudos is some of the best stuff ever written. those OCs you carry around have some of the richest backstories and worldbuilding someone has ever seen. please do not think that reaching only a few people when you post means your art isn't worth celebrating.

#i often wonder about how many things would be considered classic or high art had they only received the marketing #how many short films that were made for class could have been the most powerful thing you'd ever seen? if you'd seen them? #“you know the greatest films of all time were never made” etc etc #but like. these works of art ARE being made. it's just enjoyed by a smaller audience with equal impact though #i think about this one furry i used to follow on insta who had the coolest worldbuilding ever. it's been years. #thought prompted by that sketch of nimona from ten years ago that was just for a character design #posted to the creator's tumblr and now it's nominated for best animated feature film at the oscars #and by the genuine emotional reaction a fan comic made me feel. how much work had gone into it. how beautiful it was to me. #idk what to tag this but i hope whoever needs to hear it does #writing #writer #fandom #fandom culture #artist

“long hair on guys doesn’t make them less masculine. think keanu reeves, jason momoa, danny trejo, or the guy at your local dive bar who rides a motorcycle”

*the crowd nods*

“so long hair doesn’t necessarily determine masculinity”

*the crowd, more hesitant, still nodding*

“butches can have long hair—“

*GUNSHOT*

#the tedtalk i would give if i could #if i see ‘they’re not butch because they have long hair’ one more time i will flip a table #frustrating frustrating frustrating #also this is NOT in any way a knock on my short haired butches ily #op #bestof

"objectively physically attractive but in possession of negative rizz" is one of my favorite character concepts. i think it's so great when there's an absurdly hot person who's just a complete fucking loser. the mood is unsalvageable the moment they open their mouth kind of deal. you get no bitches because you're so sucks.

#🐉 #this is abt terror amc fitzy btw. nobody wants to fuck you you are annooooooying! #like i simply would not hit that you could NOT persuade me to endure it

now she’s all ready for spooky season—are you? 🌕🐺

#animation #werewolf #artists on tumblr #procreate #idk WHY i had to paint in every single frame in procreate and also in parts #bc the layering meant i hit max layers and had to flatten as i cleaned #but the end result is ok and i could do it on the couch ig #looking forward to their new app! #art

people are saying do it scared, but you also gotta do it alone. you'll miss out on so much you want to do if you wait til someone will do it with you. do it scared and do it alone.

#missed out on a whole year I could have skated at my local roller rink because I didn't want to go alone #and now it's closed and I won't ever get that year back. sometimes you gotta do it alone if you want to do something

#ok no but for real this is genuinely my friend group. #the only one that's a little iffy is the anime catgirl bc 98% of us are dudes. with the exception of me and one other #we even have a union guy 😭 #side note chilchuck's name would 100% be Chris if he was a real guy. he's such a Chris.

Chris is better) #dungeon meshi #delicious in dungeon #senshi of izganda #izutsumi #marcille donato #laios touden #chilchuck tims #chilchuck #falin touden #astronomically random

I think we should write more straight relationships with 2010s TV queerbait tactics. Let that man and that woman's lives be horribly intertwined, let them take bullets for the other, let them be each other's meaning but NO KISSING. They are holding each other platonically. You're crazy for reading anything romantic into it at all tbh

#basically whatever fentanyl hiromu arakawa put in roy mustang and riza hawkeye's relationship #also low key what i wish obi-wan and satine could have been like

I'm turning 30 this month, and for some reason have become suddenly interested in material possessions. like what if,,,,,,,,my couch was nice. what if my sheets were nice. is this what happens to you??

#this bougie furniture store was having an extreme New Years sale #and it sent me out of my mind #like......wait......I could have that?? I could have NICE coffee table and NICE chair??? really? #a good chunk of my savings mysteriously disappeared shortly after.
