fun fact: "large language models are not conscious intelligences they're just predictive typing algorithms, they don't have minds, and they cannot be the victims of racism because they cannot be the victims of anything because they're literally just fancy text generators please for the love of god stop personifying them you're playing right into the hands of these big tech companies that want to act like they're the new Promethei so they can sell that vision to their shareholders" and "wow you were really quick to jump on the idea that you could make up slurs for robots, and the speed and degree of glee with which you did so makes me feel like the judgement of your peers was literally the only thing holding you back from dropping actual slurs all the time, that all you needed was an acceptable target, and that is honestly pretty worrying to me." can both be true at the same time. these are not antithetical concepts.

A little while back, someone asked if they could use the theme I wrote for Mausritter in a video about the game, here it is!

Since Homestuck is trending again because of the Spindlehorse Pilot, I did just want to take a moment to remember “Usagi” Buzinkai, a really talented composer who wrote one of the most iconic and reoccurring melodies in Homestuck, Doctor.

Usagi was a brilliant musician and composer who tragically passed away in 2018. She was early in her transition at the time of her passing, and I was unable to find any confirmation of the name she preferred. I will be referring to her using her online moniker “Usagi” since we don’t know how she felt about the name she was given at birth, or if she wanted to change it.

She wrote many of the most beloved songs for Homestuck, as well as the soundtrack for the game Spelunkey.

Usagi was a part of the LGBTQ community, and talked about her experiences regarding her trans and ace identities openly and with joy.

Her Bandcamp and last album, Qualia, can be found here

Usagi’s music deeply impacted many people. Homestuck as a whole would not be the same without the iconic songs that she wrote for it. Her music influenced Toby Fox, who remixed Buzinkai’s song “Doctor” and sites the song as a major turning point in his growth as a musician.

I didn’t even know that she was the composer or that she had passed until a few years ago.

I was really upset to learn that someone who contributed so much to something I loved had passed and, in my opinion, never really received the wide-spread recognition she deserved for her art. My goal in making this post is to try and educate people who were unaware of her artistic contributions to Homestuck. I hope to honor her memory, as well as the beauty and music she brought to the world.

I’ll leave you with a really lovely quote from her regarding accepting and discovering one’s identity:

“…There's nothing like that first time stepping out as yourself, talking about who you are meant to be without fear. The world might come knocking, but when it does, knock back louder and say it loudly and proudly;

"This is my life. This is who I am right now. I won't wear a mask for you."”

The "Creepy or Wet" thing but it's youtube recommending a dnd short and I'm asking if it's Adversarial Play Culture or Deliberate Rules Misinterpretation

Okay reblog if you’re an artist who STRONGLY PREFERS reblogs with commentary

People are apparently under the impression that reblogging someone’s art and adding a comment is frowned upon and that can’t possibly be true, every artist I know of sees a reblog-comment as like the ultimate definitive reward for their hard work.

Obviously don’t feel bad for NOT adding a comment if you’re shy or just don’t know what to say, but if there’s something you would like to say about a drawing you’ve liked enough to reblog, I’m pretty sure most artists crave hearing it.

I love u narrative songs 💖💖💖

I recently found out my version of the Dark Souls 3 Soundtrack includes some cut songs

This is is single-handedly going to resurrect my work on a dark souls type ttrpg setting just so I can use it as the music for a big finale

I've always enjoyed how Yuka Kitamura's work for Dark Souls has felt like a huge wall of sound that threatens to swallow you whole; this track definitely has that in spades but the violin is what makes it dig into my brain. Underneath all the splendor and fury there's something, someone small and vulnerable who doesn't know what to do with their pain.
