#to make it seem more human

[6flyingosprey6]

Ok so the Federation trained Cucuruchito with the islanders right. Can we agree on that.

The speaking patterns

The metaphors it’s using

It’s overall flirtyness

#I would put money on that #at the very least #it was heavily influenced by the islanders speaking patterns #probably in an attempt to make them warm up to it #we’ve seen other chatbots do this #mimic the user’s speaking patterns in order to make the user feel more comfortable conversing with it #in a way #to make it seem more human #qsmp #cucuruchito

I've been told my comic feels like it was written by AI.

I suppose I'm not trying to be groundbreaking. I'm not interested in pioneering genres. I'm not writing for the purpose of literary analysis.

But written by AI...?

I'm already someone who has my humanity questioned. My identity erased. My existence disrespected. It could be worse. Anything could be worse.

But AI?

I spend weeks writing single scenes, toiling over the implications of single lines. I have goals. My writing has intent.

If you cared to read deeper, perhaps you'd see the themes. Maybe then you'd see the value. If you tried to analyze it maybe you'd see something there.

Maybe you'd see me.

Someone told me my comic seemed like it was written by AI.

And my humanity was denied one step further in that my voice was not seen in the work I've poured years of my life into.

#this is a comment that has bothered me for... a long time. #it really sat with me. #its insulting of course... #but i get insults all the time #thats not what bothered me. #there was something more to it #something more to how this hurt my feelings and why it lingered so long in my mind #and i think its because of this. #it removes me. it removes my humanity. #in a world where i already feel so invisible and invalidated #where i express myself. my love. through my work #to be told it seems like something a literal robot coild make #a conglomeration of marketable ideas #god. jts so insulting on a completely other level. #its straight up dehumanizing #so. watch the things you say seem like ai #when its actually made by an artist #especially if you know that it was made bh someone #they have a heart an theyre trying to show it to you #i know its not that deep or whatever. #but isnt it? #isnt the point of our art to connect to others? to love them? to spend time with them?? #im being dramatic #but i also care #and sometimes a little extra drama is what gets my ideas across. #i would know #im a writer

I think the good thing about people being silly about the gay dogs is that the dogs get to be silly. No more murder. No more angst. Only worm.

Happy late halloween!!!

Finally posting my piece for @twsthorrorzine !! it was very challenging to get out of my comfort zone and draw something horror-esque for once but I've been wanting to do it for a long time and I suppose it was worth it 😭!

Full art under the cut; beware CW for blood, gore and animal death (jack is having an unfortunate deer for dinner)

#twisted wonderland #twst fanart #jack howl #tw blood #tw gore #tw animal death #tw violence #looking at animal carcass pictures on google images to use as reference sure was... an experience #also used deranged irl wolf pics as reference for jack's face #the idea is to make it seem like he lost all his humanity and is only acting upon bloodlust animal instincts #i think savanaclaw should go feral more often like hunt for a little snack <3 what do you have those fangs for #myart

so like do you ever think about john doe

#sorry guys hes taking over ny brain again #his situation is so fucked up what the hell 😭😭 #like yeah ok objectively arthur kinda has it worse #but imagine #you get torn from your former self and trapped in a book #then after killing multiple people you finally find a suitable host #but then you get attached and now youre no longer your former self #then your new human friend (who is quite literally all you have (and want)) kills himself to save you #even after you betrayed him and lied to him. multiple times #and you get separated and when you come back hes angry at you for having changed #but you had to make a deal with the literal devil to keep him alive and be together again #you work through it but then you have fulfil you end of the deal which indirectly causes him to meet this fucking priest #who is MONOPOLISING on your person’s attention #and since you seem to be suffering some form amnesia you desperately cling to normalcy – to when it was just the two of you #(but you know deep down you’re never going to be enough for him because he deserves more than a fractured monster imitating humanity) #(because he deserves the /world/ and if you could you would give it to him) #so you try to chop that priests arm off (he asked to be fair) #wouldnt that be fucked up #malevolent #unhinged aromantics #malevolent podcast #arthur lester #john doe #john malevolent #arthur malevolent #malevolent john #malevolent arthur

It feels like a lot of us are in really tender places right now, so please know I am wrapping you up in the world's softest blanket so we can have a good proper cuddle and cry about it. And then after that I'm going to count to three, and boop your nose, and you will smile and know that things will get better and there will always be people who love you.

Ready?

One.

Two.

Three.

BOOP.

#idk idk just seems like there's this big wave of sadness right now #on large and small scales (and even those small scales can FEEL huge) #makes me wish even more you weren't all just friends in my phone #but I am a simple human who shows affection with boops #so GET BOOPED BABES

[objectosexual]

I'm glad more of Tumblr is becoming more accepting of objectums + a lot of people are realizing that they're objectum themselves, but it really does feel like the current "in" thing right now so I hope this support for us continues even when people get tired of the eroticism of the machine

#i feel like there's always been a lot of robotfuckers on here so i dont think this will fade any time soon #but that last bit really is the Tumblr catchphrase of the month so i hope that ppl who arent objectum #will continue to realize that like. we will still be here #does any of this make sense #im really tired and had an episode this morning so lol. #(alsooo... i could go on a tangent abt how not every objectum is into machines & that ppl seem Weird about us liking objects that arent... #... mechanical in nature... i get that those are easier to personify and have some things that feel more human... #... but. idk whereim going w this anymore sorry)

[thesaintofnevergettingitright]

Wait. Hold on. I just finished my second watch of season two and I have a theory…

I think Aziraphale knew he fucked up before he ever got on that elevator.

HEAR ME OUT!

I think the moment that he heard that his big project would be the Second Coming, he instantly realized Crowley was right. As soon as the Metatron mentions the Second Coming, Aziraphale looks directly to Crowley with what I think is very-well-concealed panic. I don’t think that was a wistful gaze at what-might’ve-been. I think that was an instinctive entreaty for help from the person he trusts most in the world, followed by the immediate realization that he can’t ask for Crowley for help without letting the Metatron know something’s wrong.

Because Aziraphale KNOWS that the Second Coming is just a different flavor of Armageddon, it’s literally the rapture. There’s no planet where our boy has changed so much that he’d be willing to bring about the end of humanity, and the fact that he didn’t object to the idea instantly is important. To me, it means that Aziraphale must’ve made a split-second decision to play along. He didn’t have time to tell Crowley what was wrong, and even if he could’ve, he didn’t have enough information to put a stop to it.

Basically, I think that in the moments after the Metatron mentioned the Second Coming Aziraphale realized several things in quick succession

Crowley was right.

He and Crowley were going to have to save the world again.

If they were going to stop another apocalypse, they needed to know what they were up against.

The only way to know was to have a man on the inside.

There wasn’t time to tell Crowley any of it.

Now the question is, how does Aziraphale let Crowley know what’s going on?? Because he can’t stop Armageddon 2 (Electric Bugaloo) by himself.

#good omens #mine #good omens 2 #Crowley #Aziraphale #cuz look y’all… the angel didn’t start fake smiling until AFTER the Setting Coming was mentioned #before that he seemed ok with showing the Metatron that he was upset #But after it suddenly seemed like his mask was more important #and he doesn’t look back at Crowley until after either #I think everything came crashing down on him all at once #and couldn’t do a thing about it #it’s also the only explanation I can come up with for him not immediately objecting to the idea of the second coming #even if he were trying to regain heavens favor he wouldn’t stand by and let someone suggest killing all humans #so either he’s faking it #or coffee theory is real #(and I don’t think coffee theory is real) #and like! It makes sense! #cuz the only reason they were able to work against the first Armageddon was because Crowley was playing inside man #so it only makes sense that they need an inside man for this one too! #so Aziraphale NEEDS to be back in heavens good graces

Why the fuck are people on Twitter upset about nonbinary robots. Transformers are aliens, why would they follow another species gender binary based on reproduction when they don't even reproduce sexually. If anything, ALL the robots should use they/them.

#liz blogs #transformers #i need to finish earthspark #conservatives won't survive when aliens come to earth #imagine going to another planet and trying to translate pronouns #but either theres more than two or theyre not based on reproduction #how do you figure out if youre a glerp or a blongo or a dee when you dont even have a yundle #and guess what else. if the robots all have one gender. and they use different Earth Pronouns #that dont line up with - in conservative terms - the pronouns they Should have #guess what. all the robots are trans now. #this is probably fucking incoherent i just woke up but man i hate when people think the universe revolves around humans #smash the gender binary to pieces #i write this from an angle to shit on their stupid argument i know nonbinary people can use gendered pronouns as well #the point is its hard to translate. frankly we also deserve big macho bots picking she her because it sounds nice #and little femmebots picking he him because it sounds cool and they want to seem Tough in earth terms #hasbro hire me i love robots and I'll write a transformers show so good it'll make conservatives literally explode

hey i just found ur blog and i love ur gay dogs. i love the way u do expressions and clothes! u rly nail the stretchy elastic look of skin that the type of hound vasco is has. also for some reason when i first rly looked at machete i thought to myself "its weird i dont do anthro art considering i dislike drawing human heads and giving ppl animalistic traits" so thanks for the, idk, inspiration? realization?

Thank you! I'm glad you like them!

#elasticity and the way skin wrinkles and folds are actually something I pay very close attention to #it's one of those small seemingly insignificant details that make things seem more real and alive in my opinion #many mammalian bodies are surprisingly stretchy and flexible #answered #dykeofalltrades #maybe you should give anthro art a try #human heads aren't very fun just pick an animal and do the ol' switcheroo #have a teeny-tiny furry awakening as a treat

did this doodle page to play around with Globby's shapeshifting abilities! if he can be a dinosaur I bet he'd LOVE to be a dragon

#he's very fun to draw #i find it interesting that when he shapeshifts his pseudo-endoskeleton thingy changes shape and size to conform to his new shape #in the concept art it clearly seems to be his human form underneath the goo #and in the transformation sequences of “Big Roommates 2” and “Nega-Globby” it seems to imply it is his human form #but i think given the way it can shapeshift with the rest of him especially as seen when he goes dinosaur mode or dissolves into #a crack in the floor that it probably is more akin to a solidified goo that permeated what is left of his human body to make it malleable #bh6 globby #globby #big hero 6: the series #my art #also i wrote like so much for the alt text i hope if anyone uses that they don't mind how long it is o7 (<- salute #accidentaly posted this to my main and had to remake it RIP

Holy moly a rendered drawing!? And it's Flatland!? AND it's sort of gijinka-fied?!?!?!? Crazy.

Drip or drown fellas? Be honest lol.

Okay, so some design choices I wanted to point out and "explain":

A. Square does not look any different because he is peak performance. The whole thing of 2D creatures who live "water" and look like amoebas was too good to tarnish. I kept it simple, gave him some boots to help with gravitational pain n stuff on his feet, and he has glasses cuz I saw some character in the movie with them and I thought it would vibe well. He looks a little older because of them, but whatever. The nerd needs to look like a nerd.

A. Sphere I took so many liberties with. At first, I went with the most basic CEO fit I could come up with, found it boring, gave him a vest and bowtie, cut the bowtie for a normal tie and gave him rainbow suspenders, then gave him the bracelets for funsies. The most consistent thing through all the versions was the analog watch (that he probably can't read lol).

He doesn't really feel like a CEO anymore, but c'mon, in canon he's a gold sphere and the only metallic solid. He's gonna look flashy and extra. It's a given.

Are you reeeally a Flatland fan if you haven't drawn or edited an image of A. Square being yeeted like a frisbee?

I feel like this is a staple, and I found this really amusing stock image that just fit so well.

I made the whole Flatland species friend-shaped. As an OSC person (yes I'm working on stuff related to it give me a sec), I could not see the Flatlanders as anything more than the silly stick limbed creatures of that community.

Spacelanders are different, but that's more so because of how the book refers to them. "Spacelanders" in the book, although the context is probably just different 3D shapes, are addressed as people who have people systems who do people things. So, I designed accordingly. (Also, I did NOT want A. Sphere to look like that one Pacman TV show. I think I would have combusted before finishing if he did.)

These were some doodles I worked with for just looks purposes. The tendrils(?) on their corners are the longest ones on their bodies. Circles have them all mostly uniform cuz they're boring.

Below is a close up of A. Square, some progress photos, and the reference image of meme.

Thanks again, and have a wonderful day :)

#i miss making rendered pieces for stuff I like #i wanted to make sphere more metallic-looking but i really did not want to spend 10000 hours on this piece to get it to look right #the bracelets he wears are those rubber ones and a slap one #the rubber one is there cuz of him giving out merch of the company and he seems like one of those guys who wears his own merch #the slap bracelet is a fidget toy lol #he's often told off for not being “professional enough” #no i'm not projecting you're just uncreative #don't ask how square's glasses stay up in the 3D #I don't know either #a super burnt ritz chip and a pac-man knockoff walk into a room what do they do? #flatland #flatland 2007 #flatland the movie #a sphere #a square #gijinka #humanization #humanized sorta not really #i may be cringe but i am free #feel free to hate lol #katiekatdragon27
