oh, i am so enamored with the way the lesson of the velveteen rabbit rings true in our modern life. i love that we name our spaceships and write love poems to old buildings. i love that we all cried about the mars rover, that we made her so real that she was no longer a machine but a friend, a companion, a hero.

i love that we become attached to certain mugs, spoons, mason jars. that we develop a strange protective love-hate of our tablets, that we feel weirdly reverent about our new notebook. we name our cars silly things like the crab shack and call our favorite whisk attachment the one great destroyer.

there's a dog statue at my local park that has a golden back and golden head from how often people have pet it. at my college campus, people love an ugly little pointless sculpture we call bacon pants or bacon legs. we assign personalities to fountains, parks, laptops.

i love that our basic instinct is to include others in our community, even where there isn't a real community to speak of. that we love things, even when they cannot physically love us back - for us, the exchange isn't what's important. we give our heart to things so entirely that the thing begins to, in its own way, have its own heart.

the last transmission from the mars rover was not words; it was data. nevertheless, someone translated for her. my battery is low and it's getting dark. they made her last words a poem. they looked at data and saw a soul, a divine spark.

i keep thinking about the first AI born truly free-thinking. i keep thinking about the way scientists and artists talk about their work. how their eyes light up and their hands start moving, how even when they're flat broke and confused and the coding isn't working - there's this love of the thing. i keep thinking that whatever is being born into this new world will be born here on purpose, over a long time, with great energy. that when it arrives, the first thing it will know is most likely the hands of a creator delighted, overcome.

that we made it in our image. that the image we wrote was one of human compassion within ingenuity. that we couldn't make this thing without it being a labor of real-and-true: love.

#okay yes we can have a marxist conversation about how it's dangerous to make the commodity #into a token of love or affection #or how the first truly free-thinking AI will likely be the result of a megacorporation and therefore not have #like the BEST humans behind it #but let me for a minute believe - #even the stoic among us have worked on something #for long hard hours #and in that working #didnt you kind of learn to love it? at least a little if not completely? #and when it was over - it was YOURS #and it having been the result of your blood sweat tears unpaid hours and no leave #still; you know - you MADE something #and that changes how u see it #bc a part of u will have to live in it #..... and from that.... how can we see ourselves #and not love? and not care? #it will come into a world where its god-creator will HAVE to be there #and that moment ....... won't it of course be one of joy? how could it not be? #both machine & man in that moment making a strange and new discovery

#it's me i'm the wind blowing #y'all things are a little more complicated when it comes to these two #(sits down and takes a sip from my dark blue coffee mug) #(thinks: i wish i had springtrap coffee mug) #so... #both of them have difficult pasts #both are parents trying their best on raising their children #THE THING IS #one can't let herself get too attached #while the other is still afraid all humans are the same #but at the same time. they just want to find peace and happiness #and they've found it at home #they found happiness living those very brief and mundane moments #like waking up every morning #having breakfast next to people that make you smile #making your way to school/work and seeing sunlight pass through the trees #and going home after a tough day and there are rain clouds approaching. you just know you're going to sleep well at night #this is how they heal. and in the mean time. let themselves open up to each other #I have a feeling this is gonna be a slow burn kinda thing #COUGHING REALLY HARD #ENDING THIS RIGHT HERE OKAY BYE #starbstalks #springdad au

Nurse Mituna?! Do you trust her....

#homestuck #mituna captor #transfem mituna #ok imagine an earth C AU and all the dancestors are there and everything is great and mituna is transgender and a nurse but of course #still a gamer and a skater and shes doing her best #she skates home after work every day #actually she would probably work the night shift i think she would thrive in that sort of environment #everyone is like youre fucking insane and shes like 1 KN40W #H3H3H3H3H3 #i wonder if hospitals on earth C would be like. separated by trolls/humans? #that might be a lot for the doctors and nurses to memorize if theyre looking at caring for two entirely different species. #like maybe you can pick your specialty like a human who is a troll surgeon or a troll who is a human NP #God thats so amusing to me. actually #Maybe some hospitals are co-ed in more sparsely populated areas to save funds but in cities you can afford to have different facilities #anyway mituna loves the craziness shes being pulled in all directions and getting hit and yelled at but shes dealt with cronus for an etern #ty so its nothing new to her #bossy highbloods.. she knows not to take their vitriol personally. they are trolls just like everyone else #luckily she enjoys being needed and constantly on her feet #and when things slow down she likes to entertain her patients!

Skizzleman having beef with Smajor over him giving better hugs is unironically hilarious.

#i listen to the imp & skizz podcast at work #had to rewind a bit on this last one bc I was laughing too hard #imp & skizz #rain rambles #the fact that both of them went right to the hugs thing #also I admit the spirit of competition rose within me #‘y’all give the best hugs?’ #you’re playing on easy mode you six foot plus humans #come back when you’re the smallest of your friend group #and are still voted the best hugger

Men who view women as their intellectual equals 😍

#pro tip for the boys: a lot of girls will respond a lot better to a stimulating conversation than to a guy trying to show off #ignore the movies they're lying to you when they tell you you need to be a show off #and if a girl wants that it's maybe not the best sign y'know? #but most girls just want to be treated like we're capable intelligent humans #that's all!! the movies and shit make it way more complicated than it has to be #and yes some girls do make things awkward and complicate everything #but maybe you wanna be careful about that because those girls generally have a lot to unpack #being friends with those girls is fine!! just make sure you have strong boundaries in place #and make sure she's doing some work on herself before considering a romantic relationship #but anyway i've had a lot of men in my life that i feel like wanted to be so much smarter than me #and not to be rude but they weren't?? i was just as smart and sometimes smarter #i didn't care that they were confident in their intelligence but i felt like i needed to dumb myself down #and it. freaking. sucked. i have no idea how i did it for so long #and i would even make jokes about like the guys i dated being smarter than me and nobody ever said anything?? #and again these guys weren't smarter than me. that's not an insult to them just acknowledging i'm smarter than i was gave myself credit for #i'm outgrowing the notion that i have to dumb myself down for men and it's so freeing #and you know what really helps me actually? being in college #and especially being in college with so many intelligent men who know they're smart #these guys KNOW they're smart. and not in an arrogant way in a secure and confident way #them knowing they're smart makes them the OPPOSITE of arrogant actually #it's weird but i stand by my observation and it makes sense when you think about it #if you're secure in yourself and your intelligence you don't need to proce yourself by making other people look dumb #these guys are secure in their self-image and masculinity. they don't need women to be dumb and weak to feel strong and intelligent. #and it's so freaking endearing. i love that for these guys so much. #i am just so thankful for people in my life who are taking me seriously and who are helping me to understand i'm worth taking seriously. #wow these tags are long but anyway #guys you don't have to prove anything girls you should never have to dumb yourselves down live long and prosper

Annnnnnnyways. That comment had me so fucked up that I forgot to eat for over 8 hours and now I’m gonna throw up if I don’t cause I need to take my pills :/

#seriously the anxiety is why I stopped writing and now here we are again :/ #like buddy I am an actual human being throwing up because of anxiety from your comment and you still have the audacity to call yourself #the victim as if that’s actually what happened #I’m sorry you chose to be angry at my boundaries and pissed on them????? #im sorry you got angy that you were supposedly more disabled than me but you def aren’t #I’m sorry that you chose violence when I decided to give you guys a christmas update #I’m im super upset that I got really bad comments on that chapter I worked so hard on #like thanks I was having the best day ever till I saw that and then I couldn’t leave my room or eat for nine hours #because of anxiety… yikes. you really chose to attack for nothing #I set a boundary but that was against your religion or some shit I guess #comment etiquette

[bumblingbabooshka]

Are you angry with her?? You would inform her if you were angry with her, correct? It would be illogical not to, of course. There’s probably a perfectly valid reason for your frustration so please inform her right away if there’s ever a problem and she will do her best to correct it. Just to be certain - you are not currently angry with her, yes? She’s only checking because she isn’t quite as adept at reading expressions as she’d prefer and you might - ah, you seem frustrated. Ensign? Ensign? Are you truly certain you aren’t-

#T'Rahni'hk #losergirlfailgirlanxietygirl #Every non-Vulcan gets her name wrong and she never corrects them #If you read her entire long explanation you're a hero #star trek ocs #vulcan oc #a star trek oc that isn't connected to Tuvok....what a day! #girl who asks if you're upset with her so many times that you /become/ upset with her (which only worsens the problem) #girl who is anxious but rarely quiet ....T'Rahni'hk....tries her best #Girl who casually drops the saddest stories ever heard #her anxiety worsened due to being around aliens who became angry with her for things she didn't understand. Since she already had some #amount of anxiety when interacting with others this only worsened over the years v_v #bea art tag #doodle page #star trek #star trek art #I hope to draw newer art of her soon~!! #she has dark circles under her eyes bc she rooms with a human and never voices that the room is too cold so she can't sleep #+ she's usually working herself very hard...and sometimes doing other people's work if they ask her to

Does anyone know where I can find the good quality version of this image? It's so frustrating because when cross searching on google it'll tell me the original quality is 850x478, but I can't find a way to download it in that quality. This is another version of the image (I'm guessing it's Mayoi promo art):

But I liked the clean white background one...

#It's cute... #It's got Akutagawa stealing glances at Atsushi #Thought asking was worth a try ;;;;;; #Google cross image search has changed and as someone who used it as I use breathing it's been absolutely heartbreaking. #It makes cross searching images so much harder it's awful #Because before when you looked up an image it suggested you the best quality avaible of that image. #And the search got worse every year but it was still functional you know?? #But now there's not that anymore. There's no “large” “medium” “small” and instead it only gives you “find image source” #Dude I don't want to find the image source. I've downloaded the image I KNOW the source. What I want is ANOTHER SOURCE with better quality #And I used to get it when I was 10 and I used to get it when I was 15 and I sued to get it when I was 20 #And now I don't have it anymore?? It stripes away one of the most powerful search tools on the internet from the public???? #It drives me insane. Like why does internet get worse every year that's not how humanity is supposed to work #Sorry. I needed to rant. This makes every quality-freak media archivist (like me) job harder beyond comparison #Btw if you're looking for an alternative Yandex images still does the work... It's not as powerful search engine as google #and it's often going to miss the particular hidden media (y'know- super niche Akutagawa merch from 2018 and stuff) #But for the rest it does a pretty good job. If anything there's still the best quality avaible option #But seriously looking up stuff for aktgw-daily has gotten so much harder ever since this fucked up change to google lens #and it makes me hate the world. I haven't been able to find a way to reverse it but if anyone more tech savy than me who has any idea- #what I'm talking about can help me. Please please hmu I'll be grateful forever #Sorry for the rant I have a lot of pent up rage over this. Stop making broke people's lives harder challenge #random rambles

Concept: Ben 10 Alien Force AU where everything is the same except Kevin is just insanely passive-aggressive towards Ben for the entire duration of the series

“No worries Tennyson, I buried the hatchet ages ago! That bad blood between us? Water under the bridge! I mean, it’s not like you got me stranded in a prison dimension for five years and never bothered to try and rescue me or even check up on me or anything like that! Of course I’ll help you save your grandpa! After all, what kind of hero just leaves someone for dead in the hands of vicious aliens that proceed to inflict them with severe psychological damage that will take decades to fully heal?”

I feel as though that would be a whole lot more realistic of a thing to happen, especially as the Tennysons realistically react to Kevin's passive-aggression with their own Tennyson brand passive-aggressiveness, though it might not be the most enjoyable trio to watch, which would be basically the complete opposite of the previous trio of Ben, Gwen, and Grandpa Max-

Ben and Kevin would have more personal beef (something about stealing a way too high security unreleased but already boxed game vs making two trains crash into each other for free money), but Gwen never particularly liked Kevin in the first place way back when, so even if Ben and Kevin settle their differences with admitting what they had actually done wrong (probably fighting over the more petty shit or arguing about the worse shit they did), Gwen doesn't have much basis to forgive Kevin because ultimately she did not get involved. Which I mean I don't think would be that great to watch nor that great to create a team around, especially in the earlier more mystery focused side of AF-

And this is the obligatory mention of @kariachi for introducing the idea of the Ben, Gwen, and Argit trio- you can have passive-aggressive Kevin (and the Tennyson's appropriate responses to him) all you like if Kevin takes Argit's role and Argit fills in that missing main trio slot in his stead. Depending on where and how he's introduced you could totally have a fake-out trio of the Tennysons and Magister Labrid, you know, with the assumption that someone's filling out Max's 'experienced plumber' slot. Not sure how convincing that might be but oops, I did a little ramble lmao-

#ask #anonymous #kevin levin #ben tennyson #gwen tennyson #ben 10 #don't mind me just thinking about argit- not a whole lot but it's something #i do realise that i kinda maybe vaguely forget to think about any form of team ben lmao #since a lot of my first thoughts about ben 10 are either my petrosapien ocs (they grow in number) #or the andromeda 5 of whom i like to pair with xenobiology and other worldbuilding #so i guess i'm sorry for going off topic but lmao if you've sent in an ask to ME i bet you already know that i ramble #gwen's stubborn and would probably either never come around to kevin on her team or take too much time to do so #and ben might be ultimately more forgiving as a teen than as a 10y/o but kevin's kevin #there might be a little sympathy there for the general 'sorry you got amalgamed that one time' #but like kevin dragged his 'not actually known' name through the dirt when it was just 1 to 1 transformations #let alone actually working with/for vilgax that one time #not that kevin doesn't have his own beefs of course- the null void is a horrible place to send folks as punishment #especially a distressed 11y/o who's not very human at the moment if he ever was (depends what floats your boat) #ultimately... though realistic- probably not the best working environment for a highbreed investigation

Homesickness : a BitB comic (careful! Heavily implied spoilers)

Spoilers ahead and in the tags.

What’s up my brain’s consumed by these guys, this comic was inspired by the numerous headcanons Ive seen around about Rolan’s time away from Galloway, and how the hivemind would.. keep in touch. Huge inspiration from @/willotstreet’s post about Rolans alcoholism

#jrwi bitb #rolan deep #jrwi bitb spoilers #bitb spoilers #jrwi bitb fanart #basically using some of the hcs about how the two bodies split mind thing worked for rolan especially out in Chicago #other stuff like how Rachel was the blueprint for all the other human copies and was turned into memories and the hivemind #so I was wondering how ppl with overlapping memories would interact with the hivemind- how Rachel would communicate as the queen- #trying to get rolan to come back- how rolan got his drinking addiction to block out the voices telling him to come home (and becoming immune #and I mixed in my hc about him not being able to see his own face in reflections #the shapes on the ceiling r supposed to be like when ur under the water and looking up cuz of where his og body is #and also that Rand wouldn’t let Rachel in while the gang played DnD cuz he thought she was cringe and wasn’t the best brother sometimes #(I’m sorry I did you dirty Rand I had to angst the Rand siblings) #that’s why rolan sees the attic door for that one frame #anyway I drew this at 3:00 am I hope it makes any sense at all.. #now I’m rambling. anyway trying to fit some of my thoughts into a comic #I wanna write a fic or something… #dawnsart #oops I forgot Rachel’s tag!!! #Rachel rand

Ready to fully cut myself off from my so called friends and just be a loner till someone, if anyone ever does, decides I'm worth trying to reach

#im breaking down #lmao #its fun #anyways thie would also give me time to focus on work #so i reckon #its the best of both worlds yk #who needs human companionship when all it does it hurt you and break you into nothingness anyway #id much rather have good grades #and money #money and grades wont stab you in the back #so like #the choice is clear #(im fine i swear) #totally fine #im fine #im perfectly mentally stable #fake friends

Yknow, instead of basing a lackluster at best character off a nazi, Coco could have been Chajka, based off the heroic Chajka Klinger, a jewish woman who was essentially a scribe of history

You can even keep the minibag machine gun considering the history of jewish women hiding guns in their purses

#rwde #idk if yall have read the light of days by Judy Batalion but that shit made me cry #do not read that book at work lmao #but in all seriousness it's a v good book i highly recommend #why stan a shitheel based on a nazi when you can recall and rejoice people who did their best during the absolute worst of times #side tangent but reading this book has turned me off all nazi shit #like obvs we grow up w 'nazis r bad bc death and destruction' but reading the individual accounts #following some folks from teen to young death even in a narration #its haunting #its v much the reason i hate jojo rabbit(movie)/caging skies(book) #i do not ever want to see a nazi in a positive light #human? yes. quirky and relatable? FUCKING NO #idk why but the entire book chajka was always the one I felt most drawn to #i wish she'd had a happy ending but i honestly can't say that i would've done any different in those circumstances #i hope she knows peace and that her efforts weren't in vain #whats a proper jewish sendoff for the deceased? im p sure rip is christian #either way chajka i love you

Silly goofy StanNarrator (Patreon)

#Doodles #The Stanley Parable #TSP #Silly mode leftover doodles from my alt notebook #I wasn't as concerned with making these finished or pretty but they did turn out cute >:3c #Since I've established that Sinister thinks in images the next logical step is imagining the Narrator - and he hates that ✨ #He is not made to be perceived! He is an imageless entity! A total enigma! Lol #If we as an audience can imagine what a Narrator might look like - to the best of our abilities - I don't see why Stanley wouldn't #Even if he's not Exact - personally I don't think it matters lol the Narrator isn't /meant/ to have a fixed form imo - it's still flustering #You give him so much material to work with Narra! To imagine what face you might make or your body language #Or worst yet when he plays with the mental projection like a doll - much like what the Narrator does to Stanley hehehe #How does it feel to be ''made'' to do things that wouldn't reflect you! It's an interesting role reversal that works within their confines #Also makes me wonder how much Narra would play into it haha - if Stanley ''flipped him upside down'' would he get dizzy? Even a little? #To what degree is he real! To what degree is Stanley real if he's not being interacted with!! The themes!!!! <3 #Anyway lol ♪ Silly Stanley noise chart for funsies #There are a lot of sounds humans can make with their mouths even discounting vocal cords - I could definitely see him doing verbal stims #Who me projecting again? Psh no anyway (lol) #And then some kisses! This is my first time drawing my versions kissing!!! Which actually solidified a new headcanon for the Narrator haha #Because he (ostensibly) needs his mouth to narrate he doesn't like kisses on the mouth :) He weak to it! #Doesn't stop Sin from enjoying kissing him lol - it's a good way to shut up him In Case of Power Play #But sometimes♪ he'll try to respect his wishes - not all the time tho haha

[palettepainter]

I've been looking/reading through my MHA posts and I've decided that if I come back to drawing art for the fandom, I'm just gonna focus on the silly, fun stuff.

As much as I love the stuff I've done with the bond between Higari and Hono, being in the Muppets fandom has taught me just how better it is for me mentally and emotionally to just focus on the fluffy, fun stuff. I may dabble into more serious topics occasionally, but all that stuff about Haiya's backstory before being adopted is now just additional stuff to his character, but it's not something I think I'm going to dive into beyond that he's adopted and no longer lives with his bio parents

It's just way more fun to think about Ectoplasm and Powerloader still being dorky and goofy like teens on a first date despite being married and in their forties, or imagining Chikara being a smug sister in law to Ecto after his marriage with Higari is official. Imagining Hono and Higari fixing all their issues and being bros again, with Hono carrying him under his arm just because he can and Higari wrestling him into a headlock because he can

I still love some angst, that's not going away, but from now on I think I'm gonna focus more on indulging in the stuff I wanna draw with my characters, not limited to just angst.

#Thinking about MHA today and starting to slowly get back into the fandom #Still a bit unsure but I miss my two favourite gay teachers and their gremlin children #I miss talking about the UA teachers bickering over who has the best UA child and being a big found family unit #Another reason for why I haven't posted a lot for MHA is cuz I'm still not sure how to draw humans in my style so for the most part I've #just been experiment with my MHA OC's in different styles when I'm not working on Hired Sparky #I don't think they'll be MHA art soon #maybe not this year #but I am starting to come back around to the fandom #To any MHA pals that are still following me hi! #I miss you #MHA
