#you would think im an artist or something

[sonknuxadow]

#idk im just curious because i oftne see posts that are like ''this song/artist can NOT go on this characters playlist #they would never listen to that'' #and it confuses me a little because i thought character playlists were just songs that you like that you associate with the character #not necessarily stuff you think they would listen to. like with character playlists i just pick stuff with lyrics that describe them #regardless of whether they would actually like that song or not #when it comes to songs associated with ocs specifically though i tend to go for a mix of all 3 of these #but again. mostly vibes and story #Also what i mean by vibes is like maybe the style of music sounds like something that would be associated with them #but the lyrics dont really fit them all that much. does that make sense #i probably could have worded it better but oh well. cant edit polls

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

There is such a big racism and antisemitism problem in the nightvale fandom that its fucking crazy

#jontalks #wtnv #ill main tag this what fucking ever im gonna delete this immediately anyway #stop drawing carlos tan with brown hair stop depicting him as a dead beat lying predatory sex pest #stop fucking demonizing him for his character flaws you wouldnt be calling him some of the shit you people call him if he was white #ive seen the biggest artist in this fandom say they wish cecil got put in a cage and expiremented on in the year 11 arc like that #isnt revolting to say about a jewish character #ive seen the same people dissapointed that did not happen like the two writers arent jewish and would write something as disgusting as that #ive seen an artist draw a white character fantasize about brutalizing a brown character #and no one gives people shit for it and they still fucking do disgusting shit with these characters #ive seen people mad carlos didnt do something awwful to lubelle to give her reason to hate him like #the whole point of that wasnt that lubelle was a privilege white women jealous of a brown gay mans success #you people are so fucking aggravating and disgusting #and you need to start giving people shit when they are fucking weird about these marginalized characters #because some of you do not think when you depict carlos. a dark brown latino gay man as a predatory sex pest who is a dead beat #and treat cecil who people either draw lighter than or white as this perfect angel who has done nothing wrong #you would not be calling carlos a impulsive lier and a piece of shit for just being written as a emotionally closed off character #if he was white or if he was a paler latino man #it just fucking boggles my mind this is still an issue in this space and that it ALWAYS has been #its not surprising to me at all that this is the same fanbase in the early days that were refusing to see carlos as a dark skinned man and #that people who didnt want to depict him as such were fucking defended #this is the same fanbase that started shaking in their boots when people were questioning why everyone defaults to white for cecil its like #some of yall are very racist and you need to revaluate the bs you say about #a cast of majorily marginalized characters #and why you demonize the brown character for the same shit the one that is aracial in podcast and you draw as white as a perfect sweet ange #lol

Rewatching the earlier, and even pilots episodes, of Ninjago are so WILD man. First of all, you notice all the things that are just plain forgotten about or pushed aside in later seasons. Kai originally being the main character, sure, we all know that one, but Cole was heavily implied to be, or become, the leader of the Ninja, that was Cole’s thing. Zane was automatically described with having a sixth seer sense, when nowadays it shows up very, very infrequently. Lloyd used to basically be the Avatar, does anyone remember that? This kid was just the Avatar.

And then you remember the silly things. Like how the skeleton army was once a threat. Like...the skeletons. We battled a giant snake, smaller snakes, robot armies, sentient video games, Garmadon a billion different times, the Overlord, Oni...and the skeletons used to be a worthy adversary. The skeletons.

Did you all remember that Cole’s earth dragon used to...breathe earth? I’ve been forced to remember. Rocky used to breathe earth as a form of attack. It was shown through brown swirly wisps in that beautiful, incredibly shitty 2011 effect. The Underworld used to be implied to be the place where all dead people went, or at least the bad ones. We never heard of a Departed Realm. Do we remember the time Cole had a scene that was a direct parody of Michael Jackson? I sure do. Genuinely the highlight simply because I don’t know how to describe the emotion I felt upon seeing it.

#ninjago #lego ninjago #kai #cole #zane #skeleton army #rocky dragon ninjago #dragons #early ninjago seasons #ninjago underworld #skulkin #talk #text post #garmadon #kai smith #cole brookstone #zane julien #also the skeletons lived in the underworld #there was no departed realm yet. was this just where we were expected #to believe people went when they died? to the skeleton army? #garmadon hired these guys. he wanted these guys to help him #there was so much happening #in the pilot episodes the main villains were the skeletons with garmadon looming in the background #then there were the SNAKES that lloyd unleashed. which. now i love lloyd with all my heart and soul-- #but at least 80% of all the ninjas problems wouldve never happened if lloyd didnt unleash those dam snakes #no pythor. no great devourer. no aspheera. no villain team-ups. no dead guys back from the dead. no underground city that momentarily #worried them. no ancient cities to find #like a good solid CHUNK of the ninjas problems straight up would not have happened if baby lloyd just put that cover back on the snakes #im sure the writers and artists can do something angsty with that. i believe in you guys #baby lloyd fr was the reason the apocalypse was unleashed like 20 times if you wanna squint do you think that keeps him up at night

oh honey, we’re not making it to heaven tonight

[id : a painting of milkweed, a silkwing dragon who resembles a moth. she is primarily green with yellow accents, has scalloped wings, a fluffy body, and antenna. the painting consists of various shades of maroon, brown, yellow, olive green, and pine green. milkweed is standing in the middle of a field of long grass, dotted with white flowers. she is angled with her back slightly to the viewer, looking over her shoulder. the background consists of a dark, moody sky with thick clouds, diffusing the sunlight into a glow along the horizon. the image has a grungy tint, almost like an old painting. end id]

#milkweed in da field what she gonna do #more dragons in random spans of grasses? yessir #would any of you be interested in my grass technique? its kinda simple but it think it looks cool lawl #caption has nothing to do w the image btw im just a big fan of smashing my keyboard until something that vaguely resembles words comes out #artists on tumblr #digital art #illustration #wings of fire #wings of fire silkwing #wings of fire oc #oc milkweed #dragon oc #dragons #🖌

I am honestly still absolutely flabbergasted that those "Gorillaz without the rap" videos exist. Like bro I just don't think you like Gorillaz at that point.

#simon says #the most insane one is Saturnz Barz imo #like why do you wanna listen to 20 seconds of a song?? and not the whole thing??? #actually I take it back the most insane one is Clint Eastwood without the rap #like you're removing the best part of the song because you're like... racist or something??? #like why do you wanna listen to sunshine in a bag the whole time instead of the best fucking part of the song?? #honestly it's like listening to only the chorus of a song and no verse. why do you do that to yourself? #'oh lemme listen to Dirty Harry without the rap' you fool?? you absolute nincompoop?? #anyways I just wanted to complain because i have been listening to Gorillaz and it's so good but also why are people like that?? #like I dont think you like this artist if you're constantly removing a large chunk of their songs because of your biases #also yeah im pinning it on racism 100% like why else would you ruin a good song by removing the parts sung by black artists?

new jacob geller video is good but the problem is that The City is not the same as the other art in the video. it is through its nature as a physical piece just a continuation of settler colonialism. he does touch on it but only a little and it really does change the context of the piece. and no art can exist without context, unfortunately. you can say that it being art about colonialism by doing it makes it more interesting but it does make it damaging in a way other art isn't.

#second thing is that i just do not agree with jacob geller on art for no one #it certainly is a violation to view that sort of art #but that violence #because it is a sort of violence #adds to the art the context of violence shapes the piece and becomes the art #again it's not like i don't think it's bad i guess im just a bad person because i don't care that much #especially when the artist is dead #i think one day when i have free time id like to create a piece of art that can only be accessed by doing violence against me in some way #perhaps something that can only be seen if you send me a death threat #and of course this would be spread by the first person to see it #but it is a continuation of that violence #it's just a very compelling idea

I have found a beautiful perfect humble rock specimen that is light yellow with a weird dark yellowy brown lining, somewhat resembling a chunk of smoked gouda cheese... effervescent

#I am still very into trash collecting at the moment and even went out and got one of those grabby sticks for cheap and a little #bucket I can carry around and put trash in. so I am going on walks in nature a bit more (not really to enjoy nature but more to play the #very fun Real Life Hidden Object Point And Click Game that is 'hunt for bottle caps and cans' .. but eh.. whatever gets me out of the #house lol).. anyway.. some nature places near water will have cool rocks #Which I know you're not supposed to take them and I MOSTLY dont.. but every once in a while it's like... when else will I ever find a #gouda rock... I have cleaned up 4 buckets of trash today.. I have helped the environment.. mayhaps.. i could take a One Single Rocke as a #treate... ANYWAY. but yeah. I don't know the names of rocks but there's a rock that's a matte muted marigold yellow sort of #color and I call them 'cheese rock'. I'm pretty sure this one is of the 'cheese rock' species but it just has weird brown coloration #like maybe it got stained or something on one side of it. Most of the other cheese rocks have no markings. though sometimes there will be a #auburn reddish sort of hue on a corner or something.. hrmm.. curious. I also got a Beginner's Hobby rock tumbler and some supplies #so I might try polishing some of the rocks from my enormous rock collection. even though they're all street rocks I picked up from sidewalk #and stuff. I saw a video where someone put random gravel and stuff in a rock tumbler and none of them were Stunning Gems or whatver #but some still turned out cool enough that I would be pleased with the result... OUgh.. I want to post more I need to like do costumes and #sculptures and stuff and be Active On Social Media and think about my Future and Career and how it always benefits artists to keep an #active social media or etc. but I just feel so tired and bad lately. I think the summer heat waves have really exhausted me. I also have #been trying to make new friends + on a weird schedule so I've been socializing and also watching media too much. I notice I always start #to feel this kind of unsettled stress of not making any forward progress in my life if I do that for too long. like 'Okay this week I've #done nothing but meet up with two friends & watch like 10 episodes of tv and only worked on a few projects on the side.. this is HORRIBLE!' #(ppl who follow me here that I talk to on discord: this isn't about you! Im specifically just referencing being tired of introductory talks #with a new round of random strangers during my Friend Hunt. Just clarifying so it couldn't be misinterpreted as vaguepost implying that I'm #secretly bothered by talking to you or etc. lol.. anyway) . Which I know to MOST people 'I talked to a lot of friends and watched some cool #stuff!' sounds like a GOOD relaxing time but.. to me it is not ghhj.. Those are 'external' focuses on things outside myself which bothers #me if not moderated. Like.. i MUST retreat internally to work on my worldbuilding and my own thoughts and etc. at very regular intervals or #it will really start to bear on me too much. Brain Mandated Hermit Isolation lol. Just being too detached from my world and stuff for #too long feels increasingly bad. PLUS. every day I don't make tangible progress towards my goals is a day wasted that I could have been #investing in my future by working on novels/games/sculptures/actual career relevant stuff. Not even in a Capitalism way i just genuinely #enjoy Completing Tasks & feel miserable if I don't for too long. EVEN the media I'm watching I turn into A Task since I rank in a detailed #google doc list after viewing lol.. Like EW movie too boring on it's own. NEED to turn it into something I can categorize and analyze ghghj #LOVE to make things more complicated than they need to be. like YAAAY organizational tasks! yaay meticulous sorting!! BOO ''mindless fun''!

Aaaaa it's technically not my birthday anymore now, but it's been the best birthday ever. Perfect, really. Thanks to my wonderful partner and my friends (especially my best friend) who've gotten me where I am now 🥺

As part of my birthday festivities my partner and bff watched ROTS together over stream, then my partner and I watched the finale of the clone wars together and UUUGGGHH. It was their first time ever and MY first time since the first time (so like. Two years ago.) And man...

I will never ever get over star wars. And Rex? Will always be my forever husband. Ever since then I've been completely devoted to him, head over heels. Even if other f/os take center stage once in a while, he's always the one I come back to. I've thought before that there's something SACRED about the way I feel for him, about the passion and work and time I've put into his story with Brea. And tomorrow I'm getting a whole ass TATTOO representing him. ON MY BODY FOREVER AND EVER.

He's always gonna be my captain, and there's nothing I would do differently about that.

#jane journals #self insert talk #💙 oh captain my captain 💙 #UHHH LONG RAMBLY SAPPY POST WAHHH #IM IN MY FEELINGS #i need everyone to know JUST how deep and real this is 😭😭😭 #and idk i feel like getting a tattoo is something brea would do too #after the war at least maybe she finds like a tattoo artist who wont know what she is and do it no questions asked #maybe ill think about writing/drawing that idk #but what i WAS thinking about writing during the finale ._. #was a little blurb where rex finally lets everything sink in and breaks down as he realizes #that with everything hes lost he JUST NOW thought of brea and has no clue if shes even alive #thats the breaking point #and ahsoka is there to comfort him 🥺🥺 sibling momence... #ahfjgj wah ok i go bed now ok #goodnight and thank you everyone for your birthday wishes!!!

still thinking about a horror-tragedy AU where hunter kills belos and frames luz or eda for it. i was Gonna say that my best hope of making this work is in a non-hollow-mind timeline, but Actually i think my best hope of making this work is.... if hollow mind DID happen.... but hunter promised belos his loyalty anyway, in a fit of panic. and belos didn't kill him. and brought him back to the castle

hunter managing to kill belos in his desperation after finding out exactly what's going to happen on the day of unity, belos having his guard down because if hunter promised his loyalty despite knowing what happened to the golden guards, then surely the complete eradication of witchkind would be fine, right.

hunter realizing that killing belos is a death sentence for himself AND will mean politically fracturing the isles, so he finds a way to twist it around on luz or eda. how this works would depend on a bunch of logistical questions i don't feel like answering right now, but. oh god if it was luz. how fucking Wretched that would feel after hollow mind. hunter's like hey i know i stabbed you in the back and chose your worst enemy over you when you were nothing but kind to me always, anyway now i'm about to make your life So Much Worse for no fucking reason except my own fear and selfishness because i'm a coward i've always been a coward and i ruin everything i touch. um. BAIIII

i have. no idea how to resolve this. i'm just.

i'm Thinking About It.

#in other news. if shit like this compels u then listen to the silt verses. What A Time You Will Have #posts directly inspired by certain events that transpire in that narrative #toh #hunter toh #horrible mindscape trauma pals #i have permission from an artist mutual to write a fic based on a comic it did where hunter doesn't defect at the end of hollow mind... #this would be. certainly something to add to it #like i wanna write fic so bad. sorry that everything i want to fic lately is godawful. do you still think im hot #murder ig #violence ig

Hi, I've been inspired by the composition and abstract style of your artwork for a while now, if I made an experimental art piece inspired by your composition style would you want me to credit you as an inspo? or would you just not be comfortable with me using your art as inspiration altogether? (which is fine btw, i don't wanna do smth that would make you uncomfortable)

oh sure! feel free! I don't mind at all lol

#ask #bakuspeech #tbh I do think this question is like. somewhat redundant in art. or idk unnecessary? #all of art is inspiration man. very frequently from art by artists you're never gonna have the chance to reach out to #large cause bc they've been dead for decades to a few centuries #and like. idk as an artist you kinda have to accept that people will actually look at ur art and interact with it in their own space? #so like. yeah there are things that if I see you do with my art I will block you for. but on principle I cannot bodily stop you #this is all to say that like. if the question is about my personal boundaries it's gonna be more complicated. like if you make something #with ill intention and then cite me as an inspiration source. of course I'd not like that #but also that will be on me to reflect on that and like. do what I need to do #but outside of that. saying 'don't take inspiration from my art' is 1/genuinely patently unenforceable and 2/antithetical to #the way that I do art at all #like! I thrive on remixing! it's what transformative fanstuff is. how would I ever get on someone else's case for doing the exact same thin #anyways yeah don't worry about it I guess all of the above is more like. somewhat of a blanket permission #do whatever you want with my art! if it's cool and u want me to see it feel free to tell me. if u know I wont like it dont get caught by me #I am aware that I have before mentioned things you can't do with my art. those are personal boundaries. I enforce it in my own spaces #I have no power in yours. it's just how it is. use ur judgement. have fun chillin #that's it babey I go get snack now. its past mid autumn so the moon cakes are on sale so Im gonn #a get a bag of dried corn

nobody knows the demons I’m fighting ok my closest friend (bless his soul) is a musician who’s tone deaf with bad rhythm and zero technical or intuitive ability to mix music but I can’t tell him he straight up doesn’t have a good musical ear despite dedicating a decade of his life to it because it’s his only dream and will crush him. THE THING IS-- i wouldnt care... live your life... i think everyone should have an outlet they're passionate about-- but he's so CONVINCED that he's hot shit, to the point of just making completely asinine statements that leave me speechless. and he’s really defensive, also. bro. bro?????? but im trapped. i cannot say shit about music. it's his LIFE bro. WALK A MILE IN MY SHOES….

#now I’m not saying *i’m* super skilled— I don’t know much technical shit. and thats not all that makes a good musician but... #BUT I CAN HEAR!!! I CAN HEAR!!! #by god I can mutherfucking hear #I’ve been hearing his music since 2015 and praying for a miraculous intervention to give him the gift of musical ability because I want to #see him Win at his greatest passion #sometimes he has his moments where he comes up with something cool don’t get me wrong #but bro #the worst is when he tries to start debates about how certain songs are mixed #I’m like dude I am not hearing you out because the way you mix your shit is entirely nonsensical #BUT I CANT SAY THAT #he asked me if I’d be his drummer when he plays live and if he ‘ever goes on tour’ (lol) #I said yea because he’s my pal but... #im telling u right now.... #im not trying to MANIFEST bad energy but.... #that scenario would not turn out well #anyway this is probably all my fault cuz once when he was feeling low i told him you have to be a little self-centered to be a musician #and i think he took that shit to heart... because.... LOL #i cant tell him though because if i was secretly a bad artist this whole time i wouldnt want to know #so #i do love my friend but i have to vent because or else i will explode
