Katie Joy filed a fucking FOIA request so she could spread more details about Garrison's last few days all over the internet and get herself more clicks and views, and she did, everything down HIS FINAL TEXT MESSAGES TO HIS MOTHER BEFORE HE DIED like.........I'm truly speechless.

big humongous fuck you to Katie Joy and any of her supporters, you shameless fucking vampires. I'm so tired of people in these corners of the internet just glossing over WOACB's glaring disregard for people's humanity just because they want to use the "tea" for their own online clout, it's gross. and thank you SHH on tiktok for calling her ass out

Can someone check Katie is ok. Is she on something??? This sounds like a prank. The years fly by so fast I wondered if I’d missed February and March and skipped to April.

Game Night with Douglas

Click for better quality

What happens after Douglas leaves for a second

rambling about their outfit in tags

#a dnd continuation! more like an excuse to redesign their outfits and throw in douglas with them #if you compare the gameover/wendigo art and this one it looks like they grew up lol #for mandark i wanted to stick with his original design but combine his two iconic outfits into one with a fantasy vibe :D #his collar and pants is how i tried incorporating it and i honestly love his white collar but kinda sad i didn't know how to add his tie #a ruby gem gifted by dexter was placed instead #the last robe looked like a hoodie so i changed it to fit his cape from his og design to have more black on the outfit and point up collar #tried to add as much M's i could without looking tacky such as the gold one underneath the ruby which is also detachable #that allows him to take off the robe with ease #there's also a hidden gold m near his collar if you squint #mandark has M spilt on the back with golden lining and underneath everything is a long tight turtle neck #he wears a vest inspired by his leotard patterns which i love that it was caught and earrings with his signature M dangling from his glasse #lastly his staff which is inspired by his gun it's very multipurpose and his crystal ball can be removed and emit magic particles #mandark was supposed to have his elvish print on his clothing but i couldn't find a language alphabet for it #for dexter he's completely inspired by his fusionfall counterpart #his lab coat is lined with golden accents and wanted to add tech to his outfit so i add metal and circuit shoulders to honor his lab itself #the mirror of the shoulders is detachable and multi purposed such as a storage area and communication device similar to mandark's staff #i figured i'd keep the leather like previously for mobility and comfort compared to pure metal shoulders #he keeps a potion near his side for emergencies #then there's his necklace “MD” in dwarvish #i brought his wrench which wasn't considered much last time #dexter can press the button in the middle and quickly expand and vise versa for portability #quite honestly i gave douglas a basic outfit since i don't think he stands out in a fantasy world #his outfit is inspired by his originial clothes too mostly the colors #he does have a lil quirk of engraving D into things like puss in boots #sorry i made you basic human archer douglas LOL #im happy with it it literally took days researching and careful consideration of their designs haha #dexter's laboratory #dexter's lab #dexdark #flame draws

(this went on to be a longer ramble, talking about shrines and the abilities in totk i had more thoughts about the overworld repetition but im putting this into a separate post)

something i havent seen anyone mention before is also that it is a problem that you can skip nearly any puzzle in the totk "temples", some of which just by climbing walls ... and that wasnt possible in botw bc the titans were made of the same material as the shrines and prevented you from climbing on them, which feels like they knew making them climable would reduce the amount of puzzle you had to do and make it even less impactful, surely there are some glitches or movement tech that can make it easier, but at least you had to think about it a little?

but i guess that went against their newly adopted "more freedom equals better" way of thinking .. but then ..

the thing that i find confusing is that the shrines interior in totk are once again, NOT climable, but similar sonau buildings in the overworld ARE climable, they even restrict how you can use the tech in shrines, so ... they arent actually against restrictions? but then dont restrict anything else? not even in the main dungeons?? its kinda inconsistent and conflicting (like everything else lmao)

and that kinda extends to the abilities too, both the ceiling jump and ultrahand make alot of puzzles obsolete bc theres always a way easier way to skip everything; i know they kidna based it around people doing crazy thigns in botw, but there it felt like you were actually kinda missusing the mechanic of stasis for example in a smart way, YOU came up with that and it felt rewarding creating your own solution to shrine puzzles bc there were multiple ways to do it in this engine (like isntead of aligning blocks to lead electritiy to one end to the other you put out your weapons and place them there instead, and it WORKS) it felt more non intended, even if they had thoguht about it, it still FELT like you just came up with that, and sometimes it really was the only way your mind worked with and everyone had their own way of thinking

while in totk, they kinda tried to encourage that way of thinking, but it doesnt feel like your own idea anymore really, and, while its not every single one, in alot of totk shrines .. or even overworld puzzles you were just .. literally given the puzzle pieces for you to put together, but the pieces were like .. in parts of 6 at most so putting together the picture was both obvious and also kinda boring, like you were treated like you are a 4 year old and they were giving you 4 piece puzzles over and over- and fine you CAN just glue the two fans together and stand on them to fly high enough to just glide over to the end instead of building the flying thing they gave you the pieces for BUT its still .. expected, like you dont feel like you are working on it your way but seeing what the devs obviously planned for and then knowingly circumventing it i dont think its good either that in combination with the ceiling jump you really can just skip almost anything, take out a fly thing and fly near the end to spam the jump until it works, instead of using the building blocks they gave you for the obvious solution you build some platform and just ceiling jump to it, theres a rocket here? fuse it to your shield and fly high enough to glide to the end, its both too easy and obvious for the intented way and then you can even entirely skip that too, and you dont even feel smart about it bc it doesnt feel like you came up with it on your own and instead feel like a child that is way too old for the toys its given and the adults giving them to you stare at you while they wait for you to solve the puzzle- and alot of the solutions were either build something with these three pieces or fight something with these pieces-

i still remember that one (or more?) botw shrines were it lead you to a button to press and once you stand on it the wall slides open and reveals some fun and unexpected challenge, over and over- there was a hallway you had to glide through but there were big moving spiky metal balls hanging from the ceiling, maybe one has a normal rope on it and you can shoot it down if you notice it but the others dont so what do you do, stasis them so you can avoid it in time, grab it with magnesis to make it swing harder and then hope for the best as you fly there or dont do anything of that and just jump in- the one were a spiked wall was chasing you and as you run more obstables are put in your way right before you get to it, you stand on a button and the wall opens greeting you with an immediate guardian laser to the face? it felt more creative and fun to me, tho granted i havent done all shrines in totk bc i grew too tired of the everything to play more

(at least thats how i felt like, like i was treated like i was stupid for alot of totk, not just in the shrines sometimes .. which were one of the more enjoyable things in it, but also in the story .. like you dont have to think at all to get everything before its said to your face over and over)

and that thing with the abilities and the tech also makes the world less like a world and more like a playground bc you can just skip to every point of interest, you dont have to walk or climb or fight your way anywhere really bc you can just go up and fly to whereever you want, the new weird ass towers only make it worse bc .. of course youd make use of them to get everywhere even quicker, its also kinda in the combat, they might give you the tools to be creative (with arguably very simple things .. like a wheel, a rocket a fan and flamethrower arent realyl that interesting to begin with) why would you build a laser firing tank maschine to fight some bokblins you can just .. clobber like you usually do way quicker and easier

i do like the abilities in botw more than in totk too, but its got multiple reasons, like the world felt built around it without putting it into your face all the time, and the shrines were more built around giving you fun challenges, or just .. a fun experience, with often more subtle puzzles and not always forcing you to make use of the shiekah stone runes, plus the totk abilities feel more like the same thing .. or less interesting? fuse and ultrahand really are one and the same thing but separated into two for .. some reason, the time reversal is like stasis but with less ways to apply and use it (and kinda clunky how everything freezes in place when you prime it), and both it and the ceiling jump are a skip button from one location to the next (even tho we already have the fast travel) so you dont even need to climb, like those weird towers in the underground i thoguht looked cool and interesting when i first saw them only to realize its just a way to get to the surface via ceiling jump and nothing more .. you could fast travel up with the same amount of loading time, and more often than not it wasnt even in an interesting spot or somewhere you couldnt get to otherwise; the autobuild too even lets you skip building!! the thing thats the supposedly focus! i know its annoying to build something for a long time with its clunky function but isnt it yet another skip button

... another random ramble, much more incoherent too, again i want to mention im not trying to hate on everything, jsut kinda communicate or ... spill out my thoughts and feelings; i do absolutely agree that ultrahand is a very impressive mechanic and i did have fun with all the abilities for a while ..... i still like botws more bc its more diverse and is more restricted (which i LIKE) while also having more ways to use them

#ganondoodles talks #zelda #totk #ganondoodles rants #sorry this got so long again #i DID have fun with totk shrines #but it was also less interesting in alot of them #like the dumb get crystal thing to shrine place where all so boring despite them being so similar to botws ball and pedestal shrines #there were alot more quests around them tho #like the one in kakariko or the guardian obsessed lady #the only crystal quest i remember from totk is the one in taburasa and the guy .. literally just sells it to you doesnt he #funnily enough i encountered that before i even saw one of the crystal shrines so i had no idea what it even was #also do NOT come at me with the argument that its a kids game #you know damn well most fans are adults #also kids arent stupid either #and the older games were arguably harder and more confusing #despite being made for kids too #so whats the hangup now #we can show entire bloody torture dungeons in oot(?) but you dont get a single drop of blood in totk were someone is murdered on screen #whats the use of weapons when people can just one punch the soul out of someone without even making them spit

I dunno if someone has brought this up yet...

...but what if the reason Adam is a dick is because he hasn't gotten properly laid since Eve died?

At least, he can't logistically do so without ending up in "ship" territory?

It would also explain Adam's literacy in modern porn.

What kind of god-level internet service provider is he getting behind the pearly gates, ffs-

A World Within a Crystal Ball

Imagine a world contained within a crystal ball, a miniature universe that fits in the palm of your hand. It's a place of wonder and magic, where anything is possible and the impossible becomes reality.

In this image, we see just such a world. It's a place of breathtaking beauty, where the sky is alight with stars and the mountains rise majestically in the distance. The crystal ball captures every detail with stunning clarity, creating a sense of awe and wonder.

As we gaze upon this world within a crystal ball, we're reminded of the power of imagination. With just a few simple tools and a little bit of creativity, we can create entire universes that exist only in our minds. We can explore new worlds, meet new people, and experience things beyond our wildest dreams.

So let us embrace the magic of our imagination, and let it guide us on our journey through life. Let us remember that anything is possible, and that we have the power to create our own destiny. For even though this world within a crystal ball may be small, it holds within it the infinite possibilities of the universe.

(cw death, suicide, murder)

i'm sorry but it's going to take me a minute to get over the fact that Katie Joy chastised people for speculating (literally her favorite thing to do) about the circumstances of Garrison's death AFTER she had made a post insinuating that Robyn's family was involved in a plot to murder him 🙃

like the FOIA request was bad enough but the two things combined are just.........oof

people are making the same arguments they did when the Duggar girls' police records were leaked which are either 1. if it could be accessed by a FOIA request, then people aren't wrong for leaking it (and seeking clout over it) or 2. (and KJ herself has made this argument before about both families) they're connected to religious fundamentalism so they don't deserve to be treated ethically or conscientiously.

and i just couldn't relate to either of those feelings any less if i'm being honest, especially in both of these instances where the circumstances we're talking about here are tragedies, like i just wholeheartedly believe that even people who are on tv or that believe things i don't agree with deserve respect when it comes to the worst moments of their lives.

#and yea theres a bigger conversation to be had about how we all dehumanize public figures to some degree for some reason and how that plays #into things like this but i'm just going to choose this one thing to be mad at for now. and i'll save that for later. #katie joy #woacb #without a crystal ball #garrison brown #the duggar family

thinking about gemma and her relationship with her stupid little crystal ball (and in turn, leon.)

(image id: a screenshot of the Grater Boston transcript. it reads:

Gemma: The voice was Leon Stamatis. Michael told me all about it. His spirit is trapped inside the ball.

Freed: You mean — you believe me? You believe that this is happening to your ball?

Gemma: You know what’s funny? I do. I really do. The ball always had this weird…comforting effect on me. Ever since I was looking for a new editor….and ….and it landed on Leon’s resume… But I thought you told me the ball was just a piece of trash?

end image id.)

like she used to hate that thing. HATE IT. but once leon began to inhabit it she entirely spun around on it. it brought her comfort and showed her images of a happy life, and hopeful future. it would show her a picture of her and her wife and her baby and tell her “see, look. everything’s going to be okay, gemma.” she’s been scrambling to get it back since the end of season 1.

she says in the trailer for the new episode that’s it’s warm to the touch (which might just be a normal side effect but) looking into her reflection in it helped her see herself clearly again for the first time in years and. that was leon. leon did that. leon literally never talks about it but it seems that, like, he was the one who was doing that the whole time. oh my god.

(image id: an image of the “x is something that can actually be so personal” meme, edited to say “the relationship between an amateur spirit medium and the spirit she unknowingly summoned who supports her wholeheartedly even though she didn’t even know he was there is something that can actually be so personal,

end image id.)

#greater boston #greater boston spoilers #greater boston podcast #leon stamatis #gemma linzer-coolidge #i yell into the abyss #he's literally such a kind man. omw to beat him up #That Being Said. #we don't actually know what gemma wants to do with the crystal ball???? #she keeps saying she wants it back but she sounds......... very possessive of it #even after she figures out that there is a live man in it. #(or. uh. maybe not LIVE. but still) #she's still all like ''my ball my ball my ball'' #it's a LITTLE worrying. please be normal gemmaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa #i suppose that it's ALSO possible that the ball was doing all of that Without leon directly trying to do anything #and that the ball had such a comforting presence just because LEON had a comforting presence #like it was a reflection of his soul or whatever #which honestly is also the sweetest thing ever #regardless of what it is im very excited to see where this is going #i hope leon and gemma can be friends and they don't immediately hate eachother or something #that would be really sad :( #anyway. remembering in episode 14 when leon mentioned being summoned by gemma and. y'know. not liking it. #but still being like ''but. it was an accident. she didn't mean to.'' #''...POLETTI. ON THE OTHER HAND.''

Im finally taking some time to dive into the problems and potential possibilities of AI art and my thing is this: a human brain is more than a really advanced computer. We have algorithms, sure, but we also have evolutionary experience in there, we have different neurotypes, we have emotion, we have abstract thinking, we can read context clues and take history and politics into account. All of that put together and used on the fly is something i sincerely doubt computers will ever be able to do. That is to say, i do not think technology can gain human consciousness, no matter how much human information we feed it. Which means we cannot be replaced.

That doesn't mean im not worried about artists losing work or angry about how AI companies steal data, copyrighted art included, to train their machines. Those are both huge issues that im not confident how to solve in the short term. In the long term, the solution is to do away with capitalism.

My point with this particular post is that making art will never be pointless. Computers can make pretty pictures but they cannot bring the unique humanity to it that you and i can.

#kim jung gi #don't be sad we don't need living artists anymore! #pixie post #like the tiktok algorithm is very good but it doesn't know sarcasm #if you mention with disdain something you hate it will show you that thing #the disclaimer to this is ofc that i don't have a crystal ball lol #i wont rule out that i could be wrong #but based on current knowledge the human brain with all its creative power wont be readily replaced #like the computers are nothing without our input! #sidenote but i keep thinking of the AI and how it was called a tribute.. #to me posting that felt like saying #and that makes me angry and grossed out #but the real problem is the companies doing this not individuals using it

I miss Sailor Moon!! I wish I could go back to just posting about it like I used to before lol. Maybe I'll do a rewatch of the new dub or something and just pick up where I left off

#especially if more people come back to Tumblr #my dash on my SM account is so so so dead #idk any of the current sailor moon accounts to follow there either #but screw it. perhaps we ball #part of the reason I stopped is that the fandom's general suckitude after crystal killed my desire to make just like #goofy off-the-cuff posts like I used to. where my brain could always be tuned into SM at least a little bit #like it currently is to one piece. because I have a place where I can throw those ideas and usually get people nodding along #even just like. one or two people. my brain gets the feedback response it wants to maintain thinking about it #so without that sailor moon just went back onto a back burner in my mind - something I always had but didn't actively Reflect On #I don't have the energy to make goofy comics for it or anything since like 9 people might see it #so for the amount of effort it would be better as a text post or just staying in my head bc it's not that funny or important #and actual high-effort sailor moon fanart feels like a scary commitment at the moment for some reason #narrowing my scope to just PGSM has done a lot to help actually. but it's not like I don't love the other canons & characters too #anyway. idk. I almost forgot Pluto's birthday bc I'm stressed and busy atm and looking at one of the posts I was reblogging #I got that old Spark I used to get. About how excited the series and its characters would make me. How they felt like old friends #how fun it was to contrast all their characters and personalities and preferences and tailor my fan content to those aspects #I miss my girls!!!!!!!!!!!!! ue ue ue!!!!!! #i've had ENOUGH stinky shonen boys
