#is this a gag?

...I don't really know what to make of this image that Solo Leveling: ARISE's twitter released featuring Lee Joohee.

...Did they use AI generation to make this?

At first I thought it was just the background, but I'm not sure that's the case, or at least perhaps the only thing someone actually came in to fix was Joohee (mostly).

There are weird shapes and coloring in and around the bizarre double trunk tree thing, the bushes are shaped strangely, there seems to be a bridge in the background with a house(?) on it leading into... some indoor-outdoor thing with a window showing nothing and a ceiling that makes no sense? Like what is the architecture on this structure behind her?

Joohee herself isn't overly egregious on first glance (though what's up with the inside of her ear, actually). But there's also very typical markers of AI on her, whether it's the extra fill in of red where her uniform/outfit should be white, the way the right side of her bow seems to be blending into her shirt a little, or the way her hair sort of looks like it's getting stuck in her armpit but might just be blending into her body (the way AI often does). Also the top of her head, the lines with that little x above her bangs are making odd shapes similar to how AI sometimes fucks up hair. And I think her right eyebrow is in the wrong place.

If you look at another version of this image, you can see more of the weird indoor/outdoor building thing on the right, and it looks even more like that weird blended look a lot of AI has. And what's up with that picnic basket? There's just a slab of melty green block, and assorted meat/bread(?) that just kind of blends together into nothing in particular?

the fact that shakespeare was a playwright is sometimes so funny to me. just the concept of the "greatest writer of the English language" being a random 450-year-old entertainer, a 16th cent pop cultural sensation (thanks in large part to puns & dirty jokes & verbiage & a long-running appeal to commoners). and his work was made to be watched not read, but in the classroom teachers just hand us his scripts and say "that's literature"

just...imagine it's 2450 A.D. and English Lit students are regularly going into 100k debt writing postdoc theses on The Simpsons screenplays. the original animation hasn't even been preserved, it's literally just scripts and the occasional SDH subtitles.txt. they've been republished more times than the Bible

genuinely curious: do other places have billboards like these? because it took me until i was 22 to realize they might not be ubiquitous everywhere because being regularly told i was going to hell by random billboards on road-trips was just my memento mori as a kid like they don’t anything by it

#i drove through vermont this summer and the churches had gay flags and i saw zero hell billboards? i was kinda gagged ngl

there was a period of time during the early days of Neopets wherein they would redesign an older pet. in order to pick a redesign they'd offer a poll with a few different options, like this:

but during 2001—2004 they would do polls with several completely normal, similar-looking options and then one (1) just completely messed up option that they never acknowledged or explained

my personal favorite was the Gelert one

#neopets #neotag #mynci #kougra #gelert #outdesign posts things #I like the mutant gelert we got but I also kind of unironically wish that messed up design was the mutant #presumably these were joke options but you could vote on them which makes me wonder what they would've done if the gag option won #greatest hits

It's been said before, but goddammit I love the material components for spells in D&D. They're so stupid.

Detect Thoughts requires a copper to cast. Gust of Wind needs beans. Sunbeam requires a magnifying glass. Passwall uses sesame seeds.

Darkvision needs fucking. Carrots.

i genuinely love that the hunger games is in katniss’s pov bc shes the one character that has no clue about whats going on, clearly does not want to be there, and shes just walking through life in a permanent state of utter confusion. and idk i really relate to that.
