Lackadaisy Enrichment

#in our enclosures!! #video linked as source; which i'm glad to see already has a million views and is trending. That's Right #lackadaisy #WHICH i have been reading since at least '07 when i was thirteen my god b/c this animation is based on the ongoing webcomic #like does its influence show up Directly in some Discrete way i can point to in my art? not very easily probably. And Yet. #the inspiration....i wasn't able to be Regularly Only for at least another year / art done Nonprofessionally Online was novel to me #like wow ppl can make & post fanart of w/e they love huh....didn't know webcomics were a thing & i never really read that many since but. #good god the quality of Lackadaisy at its onset is like this is superb?? this person putting in all their talent and effort??? #and Then you get years & years more art and i don't even know what superlatives to throw out abt its quality as it evolves. obsessed w/it.. #if i see a new lackadaisy comic page i Will be acting out. obviously this animation is a delight & also stunning. and fascinating to also #juxtapose as a Translation / Interpretation of the comic in a different medium & standalone snippet of Story #and that we're not even quite there in the comic timeline; Taking Notes abt character info we get distilledly here....genuinely love like #take it back to '07 i'm like oh boy can't wait for the dream team to assemble. then a decade later when it did? Oh Boy. that is payoff lol #namely hooray for stitches and mudbug at the field office for every passing gangster. killing one marigold associate but not the other #which seems like a promising start to shootouts w/the other dream team triumvirate. i adore that in canon so far mordecai freckle & rocky #have met but only over a nice brunch. re: all intentions anyways. anyways i'm like Gifs Must Be Made while i'm also so riled afresh abt the #comic that i've been sooo hype for for over fifteen yrs now babeyyy Deservedly. i've done a couple of rereads & ought to do another.... #For Interest it'd probably take a few sittings to catch up from the start but there is much to be engaged over....this ongoing story that's #historical fiction prohibition bootlegging cats with plenty of focus on characters & several Mysteries. which i'm better at parsing now lol #like one of the more recent rereads like Oh Of Course x (probably) accidentally killed his y & z took the fall & that's a binding secret... #Not [oh of course] abt the circumstances surrounding a's death & how b & c were involved. nor the ''what's marigold's damage'' mystery #which is great. love to not know things. love that we can readily follow all the emergent drama everyone's wading in nowadays. hell yeah #anyways admire my organized approach to gifs here. four shots each Expressions Atmosphere Action Groupshots #sure might've muddled through gifmaking for this anyways but fr being a huge lackadaisy comic enjoyer for now most of my life helps #and its very Overall Inspiration like. just really getting the [you can really just draw stuff out here] going. fr the art's detail & skill #and that enrichment like i'm gonna have a great time following this. And I Have #you don't expect a crowdfunded indie animation in the mix back then but hell yeah fellas #SIGH ok removing a 4th gif that's broken / not displayed despite reuploading then entirely remaking it. if it's a bug i'll try again later

uuuumm for the request thing maybe pastel gaster? maybe with the evil goatparents or evil alphys, haha. or maybe even evil temmie lol.

Day 29 - He's studying you with a smile...

#My art #Requestober #UT #Handplates #Fellplates #Gaster #Fellplates!Gaster is weird :) I like that about him #Man it's been a heck-while since I've draw him!! He's still heckin' cute - I will always be biased towards wings haha #Didn't have any hair to shade this time so had to give them a little extra attention hehe ♪ #The whole shading everything - I've just been really into backlighting lately haha #The halo is a great excuse ♫ #I also like how in searching for his refs they were paired to the note of ''Don't think about it for too long it all comes crumbling down'' #But now I'm thinking about it!! Oh no!! Lol #Like for example I know there are Mercyplates iterations where the Skelebros never get the plates #But the intention was still there at some point (maybe? It's been a while lol) #Basically my point is - I think Gaster's two hand hole-punches would garner the attention of Someone #Since they were brought up how about Alphys or the Goatparents' - and he gets some accessories to cover up with ♪ #Anyway that's all just errant-thought fun to think about Gaster getting hurt lol - even this Gaster? #:3c Maybe #I trust him about as far as I can throw him as much as I thoroughly enjoy him hehe ♪ #It was tempting to do something with Alphys and the others as well - the image of him picking up Fell!Temmie and resting her on his lap lol #But I've never drawn any of them and I couldn't find any agreed-upon references so I opted for He Alone #It would be fun to see him interacting with others tho :) #Hardly topical but I think my favourite iteration of AU Alphys is SwapFell?? She's very cool in Swap but hnnrh the armour is so cool #Anyway lol ♪

I think I love Sanji so extra much because he’d acknowledge my ‘girl-ness’ in a way that I feel like has not ever been acknowledged in a way I wanted it to be wails

The chivalry intended not with hopeful reciprocation but with admiration. WAILS.

#nc111 talks #like growing up the whole concept of ‘being one of the boys’ was so stupid to me #mostly because I had so many guy friends and I was not appreciative of their treatment of me at all #there were definitely times where I wanted to tell them like. hm. I wish you would respect my girlhood a bit more #I love being a woman. I really do #my girlhood is something I keep very close to me. I was very jealous of other girls in my school who exuded that type of femininity #speaking purely from personal experience - just to make that clear #but I like being and being associated with traits that are quite literally stereotypically aligned with Girl-ness #so hard to explain!! but at its core I just love chivalry though lol #one of my friends was like ugh no I’d never want a guy to hold a door open for me just because I’m a girl #‘I’d want them to hold it open because it’s just a kind thing to do’ #and like. yes. core sentiment I totally agree with #but also I Do want to be acknowledged as a girl I spent all of my childhood and teen years having my Girl-ness barely recognised and #it sucked seing the disparity in the treatment #but it also sucked seeing the intent with which these guys treated women chivalrously #which is why Sanji appeals to me. his chivalry is not ill intended or manipulative. ever. and it acknowledges womanhood all the same #OK RAMBLINGGGG #lost the plot. point is I love Sanji because I see him do his little dance while giving Robin a dessert she never had to ask for and I sigh #WISH THAT WERE ME. #edit: none of this matters mostly because I don’t care to date men #but I suppose it’s like. even in my friendships with other girls I feel like there was an inherent establishment that ok so I act as the Guy #And She acts as the girl #when we go out their arms would wrap around mine #and mine never wrapped around theirs. does that make sense #hold their hand as they walked down the stairs in heels. helped them out of cars. you get the image #SANJI WOULD HOLD MY HAND OUT OF A CAR EVERY TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love him #I’d never have to ask! ah. love chivalry.

Wait listen I have an explanation as to why I’ve been gone………. *deep breath* It was because I- *throws art for unwritten fic scene as a distraction*

No but actually I’ve like, graduated and started college and so much shit has happened I had like no time or energy for art but I’m here!! Yayyyy!!

#I have 4k words of /world building/ written out for this fic if people are interested lol #superheroes scratching the brain👍👍 #hermitcraft #grian fanart #grian #cuteguy grian #mumbo jumbo #mumbo jumbo fanart #grianmc #mcyt #btw this is at the point in the story that they’re still trying to kill each other #hermitshipping #ignore that #sir ace drawing shit #ummmmm #grumbo #just bc like…the undertones…. and that’s the intention

the parallels from 201 with 701 is absolutely mind boggling to me, but the one that gets me the absolute most is…

not only do they call back to the grenade call with buddie aka first time they ever truly get along (paralleling with the missile opening call)

but they even do a smile parallel from the “you can have my back anyday” speech, but not in the way you would expect

eddie telling buck for the first time, “you’re a bad ass under pressure, brother” and buck’s shy response with “m-me?” ….. paralleled with eddie seeking buck out, asking him to talk to chris for him, “i was kinda hoping you would!” and buck’s response, this time not being shy, but instead shocked, “uh, me?”

it’s just. so crazy to me.

in the 201 one we have eddie accepting buck as his work partner by telling him how good he is at handling himself under pressure

and in 701… we have eddie basically accepting buck as his life partner, by passing the baton over to him, asking him to talk to chris about a serious issue.

it just !!!! scratches my brain !!!!

#evan buckley #eddie diaz #buddie #911 on abc #it has to be intentional bc idk what the hell else to think #these two i swear #!!!!! #hopefully this makes sense btw #i have said it to my friends a million times #needed everyone else to see #also won’t be surprised if it was already pointed out lol #but anyway

Draxum and Raph in dresses (I don't draw Raph nearly enough do I)

The lineart for this one fought me every step of the way but it's FINALLY done

#rottmnt #rottmnt au #minor interference au #rottmnt baron draxum #rottmnt raph #raphael hamato #rottmnt fanart #rottmnt fanfiction #rise of the tmnt #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #my art #tt's fully my intention that MI is gonna have draxum taking the turtles clothes shopping at some point. so yeah #it's also my intention to have leo get stuck in a tree but that's a whole other thing lol #also this is probably gonna be the first time that raph actually hugs draxum. not super relevant but that's my thought

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

[modest-old-castle]

on my fourth RWRB rewatch and here’s what i’ve picked up this time (except it’s only the first half of the movie bc I never finished this rewatch):

in the opening, the newscast says Martha Fitzroy but the NYT article Ellen holds up says Martha Thompson

forever obsessed w “oh, unlike you, whose role is clearly spelled out in Article Nothing of the US Constitution”

would love a breakdown of the set for the Oval Office and what art they included (two busts, looks like one is a man and one is a woman? could be nondescript but presidents usually pick their art for reasons and I assume MML + scene team did the same) (Abe Lincoln is also there which may be a callback to Alex’s line to Miguel)

respectfully there’s no way Alex is doing well in his law classes w the life he leads (source: i’m a lawyer)

when Henry texts Alex w the “ACD is going to be a father” article, Alex had the Cybersecurity Workforce Assessment Act up on his laptop (✨foreshadowing✨)

Alex calls for Henry when H leaves the New Year’s party

the bi color scheme in the scene in Nora’s office is Elite

snow? in DC?? on new years??? about as unbelievable as a Democratic woman pres winning Texas

pretty sure CMQ said they picked the albums in Alex’s room (would also love a breakdown for these picks although some seem obvious) and they are: Wonderful Wonderful by the Killers; Rumours by Fleetwood Mac; Full Moon Fever by Tom Petty; good kid, m.A.A.d city by Kendrick Lamar; Bigger Than Both of Us by Daryl Hall & John Oates; and Goodbye Yellow Brick Road by Elton John

Henry fidgets w the ring when he asks Alex about the polo match 🥺

I can’t remember if it was a detail in the book but Henry always in double breasted suits and Alex (largely) in unbuttoned sport coats just Makes Sense stylistically and character-wise (Henry more traditional, “put together,” and closed off, Alex more modern and open) (also Henry taking said double breasted suit off for Alex)

plus Henry’s Rolex (? I don’t know watches) vs Alex’s Apple Watch

the HANDS which for better or for worse (*cough* better) just solidifies how much I associate them w Pride & Prejudice

two prominent pride campaign posters in the back of Ellen’s Texas campaign office when Alex gets there

sincerely hope Texas is Alex’s summer job bc there’s no way he’s doing 18 hour days plus law school (but also is that really only taking 3 months) (also I know his thing is that he never sleeps but geez)

Oval Office decor update: Harriet Tubman and FDR portraits

#additional commentary I took out before posting: maybe it’s my ace ass but how is that key swinging around not annoying as fuck #I started this post months ago w the intention that I’d finish it on my next rewatch #but guess what #haven’t rewatched it since #so it’s going up now and I’ll reblog w additional notes the next time #others may have pointed out some of these since I started making this but #red white and royal blue #red white and royal blue movie #rwrb #rwrb movie #alex claremont diaz #henry fox mountchristen windsor #acd #firstprince #p sure I was also intoxicated while making this list lol

Hiya :) I've been getting into DSMP animatics, and I love seeing the different interpretations of the character designs even though I only have a vague sense of the lore so far. It's all got cool vibes!! Can I request a drawing of Ranboo or Wilbur, or maybe even both? I'm not sure if they actually ever interact in the story or not, but I'd say interpret the prompt however you want and have fun??

Day 19 - Stuck inside

#My art #Requestober #DSMP #Ranboo #Yeah I don't think I've seen any instances of Wilbur and Ranboo meeting either :0 #Well they did meet when Ghostbur came into town after the whole thing with Techno and Phil was still under house arrest #But I don't think they had any particularly hard-hitting moments just pleasant greetings haha #Which is a shame! Then again everything is a missed opportunity with what Ghostbur didn't get to do huh haha #I never really got into Alivebur so I opted for Ranboo for this one :) #See! He and Ghostbur would've both had to hide from the rain! Lore-wise anyhow haha #In this case I was thinking of Ranboo going to visit Michael and then it starts raining #Although it would only snow where Michael is wouldn't it? Ahhh just don't sweat the details too much lol #I don't think I ever saw Tubbo's house either - and Ranboo kinda moved in with Techno too didn't he? #At least at one point he was next door I think - man it's been a while since I brushed up on my half-learned lore lol #Point is! Rain outside Ranboo inside! #Hopefully someone will come to visit him soon :) Or it'll stop raining so he can go run around some more haha #Also the kinda ghosting effect on the glass was not intentional! :0 I actually didn't notice until now haha #I think I like it though :D

i am a celebi appreciator first and foremost. second of all i love MS Paint

Jean Valjean. He was like a weed Javert could not get rid of. It took root in his mind, and even when Javert yanked it out, even when he planted different plants, he could never obliterate Jean Valjean. And now, the weeds were sprouting, covering every inch and nook of Javert’s mind.

Javert could not see clearly. The paths were obscured and unbeaten.

He was lost.

His shoulders slumped. Valjean guided him gently towards the ground, and Javert let him. He lay there, on his side, noting the small clusters of grass growing in between the cobblestones.

Yes, a weed never cares about order and its proper place. Never.

#my writing #valvert #leni si having fun writing after a long time so that means sharing snippets no one cares about lol #javert is handcuffed in this scene btw #i know it's not 'proper' to switch tenses in english but i wanna use present tense for that sentence #it is intentional #idk where this fics will take me. might be a one shot might be more #i'm fine with people pointing out grammar mistakes or weird english choices #les miserables #javert #jean valjean

Boba, meeting Vader for the first time: Wow Hope This Doesn’t Awaken Anything In Me

AKA boba had a weird childhood and I can’t imagine that led to him knowing how to deal with crushes in a normal way (or how to avoid having crushes on the worst person in your vicinity) so we have boba thinking he’s being very Smooth and Normal and Vader just being incredibly confused and concerned in equal measures

#yakketyyak art #star wars #boba fett #darth vader #can be interpreted as darthfett I guess but not really lol #it’s moreso boba just having a silly crush and Vader wanting none of it #Vader: damn this kid needs therapy #anyways point is I won’t hunt you down for tagging as darthfett lmao it just wasn’t my intention
