Do you have music for Sal and Kuja? Kujal songs? Or Kual or whatever their ship is called lol

I do have some songs for them.~ I haven't personally made any music for them and released it, but if you mean like - songs from anywhere and everywhere, yes. 💕 (Also, I know I rarely use their ship name more publicly and pretty much use the whole 🌌🌹💜 emoji combo in place of a name, but I personally refer to them as "Saja!" "Kual" is pretty... Kual, though. Hahaha!)

Most of it is just moody, atmospheric or ambient stuff that I listen to while working on things for them, but I do have a select few songs that may be worth listing here.

I actually mentioned this before along with this WIP, but Agnes Obel's "Familiar" has a Saja feel about it - particularly a Fall To The Moon AU Saja feel. 🖤🌕🤍

And speaking of Fall To The Moon AU, another song:

Courtesy of @vinjaryou for that one (the original version of it, in particular,) by the way! ❤️ (Love me some Labyrinth, but thanks to her, my mind was expanded by the thought of that being a Saja song one fateful day... hahaha! And yes, for those wondering, I do love the original, but there's something about this cover in particular that seems to capture the FttM AU Saja vibe just a little bit more for me.)

Honestly... all of these are Fall To The Moon AU songs, now that I think about it... uh... 🫠

I guess there's something about that story in particular that either allows me to be even more expressive as a creative or just appeals to me more thematically and musically - to a point finding music for it/them is easier to do? Maybe. Maybe I just like that story a lot. It was remastered for FFIX-ish stuff, but it has been with me for a LONG, long time - don't ask me how long. :)

But yeah! There are a few Kual Saja tunes there.~ 🌌🌹💜

#inspiration 🌈 #🌌🌹💜 #Kuja 🪶🌹 #Sal 🌌🎹 #Mannnn... #between Life™️ #the twenty seven thousand other art projects #and Stardew brain worms #I feel like... #I've forsaken the people with a lack of new 🌌🌹💜 / Saja / Kual stuff lately! #(whoever the people are) #🫠 #In that respect #thank you for bringing me back to ✨Them✨ once again for another moment in time #anonymous #(and thank you for the Kual new ship name hahaha!) #💙

I just like how these pictures match <3

#CATS Musical #CATS on Tour #(Asia Tour 2020) #Munkustrap #Plato #my posts #i feel like amie would appreciate this - plato copying munk to the best of his ability #i feel like... #Plato really looks up to Munkustrap #There was a point in time he would just closely imitate everything he'd do #the way he stood the way he swished his tail the way he stretched up when he heard something suspicious #The whole kit and kaboodle #Munk noticed how often Plato would just...stare at him #silently and from afar with those frighteningly familiar eyes pitch black and expectant #if it were anyone else he would have been unsettled - at first it *did* unsettle him #because all he could think of were his older brother's eyes scrutinizing his every move like they used to #burning holes in the back of his head #but plato's stare is...softer....less unkind and more...studious #and it isn't long before munk subtly starts taking him under his wing - inviting him along for patrols - trusts him with baby sitting #and plato just *lights up* #Unlike Alonzo who's close observance and imitation of Munkustrap came from a place of wanting to show him he could adequately do the job he #was entrusted with #and soften himself enough that the younger cats felt easier in his presence #Plato is desperate to prove that he's a good cat when it all comes down to it #That in spite of where he came from he can be trusted and he deserves love just like any other #and he's going to make mistakes and screw up but he *knows* he can be better - he just knows it #and munk knows it #there are reflections of a great cat in him - even if he doesn't end up in the lead proterctor position - he's a good cat #he's not his father's boy #there is deuteronomy blood in him - and above all that means just as much good as itdoes bad

I'm not even sure my word on this is worth two cents but:

I feel the big issue with "AI art" isn't the stolen artwork per se—yes, it's annoying, but there's functionally no difference between this

and this

This, too, is stolen art, used by the internet for humor. (the original appears to be by artist Joaes Kleine) It took the original artist 15 hours of work, and the memester probably about 15 second.

And, y'know. If we banned Object Labeling memes, the internet would be a poorer place. Deepfaking US presidents riding a giant rollercoaster, using AI to generate sexy victorian catgirls, and making relatable memes (who hasn't gotten up in the middle of the night Big Thirsty?) is all fun and games.

(what I wish is that we had a way to credit the artist easily without wrecking the joke that people could also notice, I'd use it all the time)

(maybe put the link in the alt-text?)

The problem is that I'm seeing more and more signs of "AI art" being the next autotranslate.

where it gets out into the professional world and turns everything to shit.

This is a social ill, yes—instead of a skilled translator getting paid to translate what I presume to be a hair salon, no one has gotten paid except maybe a few cents spread around in click revenue. But... I feel that's not the heart of the matter. Sometimes jobs—like lamplighters or buggy drivers—dry up, but translation is nowhere near replacement

There's something fundamentally wrong about using a blind, stupid machine to crunch all the work for you and then not even bother to go double-check it. Anyone who's explored a foreign language website with these services knows how stupid and frustrating autotranslations can be. It's fine for a private citizen (who will notice most of the blatant errors), or for people showing the translation of foreign-language memes, but companies use them because they're cheap or free, and don't even bother to slide them to a friend who speaks a little English to say "hey, does this say something about hair".

It's something that degrades everyone's experience, it makes the world stupider. And it's just... lazy, and cheap. You can blame capitalism but the same sorts of cheap shortcuts turn up in socialism (see: Chernobyl) so I don't think the attitude is strictly linked to economic system. I don't know what to do to solve it—and I know people have disapproved of me trying to do things the good and thorough way instead of the quick, cheap, and lazy way.

So, use AI art for funneh memes, as a jumping-off point for art, or to make something pretty. Try to source the material ethically if you can. Professionally, maybe early-stages concept art? Concept artists do important work, but it beats a crude cocktail-napkin doodle for commissions and whatnot. But the idea of people using AI art for making video backgrounds in paid products makes me sick, and it will have consequences.

Anyway, I'll leave off with a meme that's basically both:

#AI art #controversy #discourse #memes #I feel like... #there are stupid techbros #and there are ONLY MY SPECIFIC MEDIUM IS ART jerks #and they're both lunatics #but a lot of people in the middle seem to be tilting at windmills too? #>you just think that because your own art is too crappy to be worth ripping off huh

who in enha hyung line would be into phone sex? bc i have this wip and i want to post it this week

i feel like a lot of the 'i hate kids' crowd would be more tolerant if they understood that due to a kid's limited experience of the world that 4 hour flight might just be the longest they've ever had to sit still for or that trapped finger might literally be the most pain they've ever felt in their short life or they might not have ever seen a person with pink hair ever so of course they want to touch it or nobody's told them yet that they can't run around the museum and they only just learned cheetahs are the fastest animals so of course they want to put that to the test. how were they supposed to know etc etc.

#like majority of the time kids are not just 'being naughty'. they have big feelings inside little bodies it's a lot #also like. #it should be illegal to dye your hair fun colours if you aren't prepared for kids in public to ask if youre related to a my little pony #EDIT: the notes on this post are an absolute cesspool. i don't care about your reasons for hating kids you sound like a disney villain

[teaboot]

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

i thought my laptop was on its last leg because it was running at six billion degrees and using 100% disk space* at all times and then i turned off shadows and some other windows effects and it was immediately cured. i just did the same to my roommate's computer and its performance issues were also immediately cured. okay. i guess.

so i guess if you have creaky freezy windows 10/11 try searching "advanced system settings", go to performance settings, and uncheck "show shadows under windows" and anything else you don't want. hope that helps someone else.

*yes sorry i mean usage i posted this before bed :( i do not mean the hard drive is full aaaaghhhh

they should invent a new type of "staying in bed for 2-3 hours after you wake up repeatedly opening and closing apps on your phone" where it makes you feel awesome and energized and emotionally fulfilled

#buny text #I'm fine i've just been staying up too late playing bg3 the past few nights #and then wanting to wake up before noon so my parents don't say anything rude to me so i end up getting less sleep to facilitate that #and it's catching up to me #i feel like this explanation maybe undermines my previous statement of 'I'm fine' a bit but I'm fine i promise #look at my lop posts boy

[lastoneout]

Ya know when people told me "when you're finally safe enough that you can leave survival mode and start to let go of and process your c-ptsd/trauma things are probably going to get really, really bad before they slowly start to get better" I thought that was reasonable. I did not understand that by "things are going to get bad" they meant "you're going to find yourself in the worst mental state of your entire life, but dw, that means it's working" and tbh I simply wish someone had been more clear.

Edit: If everyone could please take a minute and think about what it must feel like to be struggling and then have multiple strangers say to your face that they find the prospect of going through what you're going through so horrifying that they'd rather kill themselves and then stop leaving comments like that I would greatly appreciate it.

#hply fuck y'all I haven't felt like this?? ever??? #tryinf to be gentle with myself #but I truly feel like I'm made of glass #personal #negative #vent #cw suicide mention #ask to tag
