Girlie pop you know aegon and Aemond are brother, right?

Cuz I know that. I just wanna make sure you know that

I have 0 interest in that whole franchise, but the artwork is hot. What is a little incest when they both look so pretty 😌 We support all kinds of dark fiction in this household 💙

(but yeah i did notice the last names and figured a normal married couple would be too outlandish for the got universe 💀)

"Star Wars isn't dead y'all are just haters" "Disney saved Star Wars" "It's the Woke Agenda that ruined Star Wars"

My mans, Disney single-handedly destroyed the Sequel Trilogy despite the Force Awakens being the gateway to something potentially fantastic; MCU'd the Mandalorian (a story which originally had nothing to do with the Prequel and OG Trilogy aside from sharing a universe and exploring a sect of a completely different culture/ideology); ego-boosted both Filoni and Favreau to the point where their OC Verse is not only canon but openly disregarding the Star Wars Universe Bible/Lore; gave us a snippet of what an extremely misunderstood indigenous culture is actually like (instead of portraying them as the savages one of the white leads mislabeled as animals that deserved to be slaughtered) only to then wipe out the tribe we got to know for no reason other than shock value thus alienating indigenous/poc viewers in the most disrespectful way possible; completely threw away the entire message of TCW (that being a clone does not make you incapable of being your own person who has their own thoughts, ideals, moral compass and overall identity) by making TBB (a show that does have it's strong points in set design, soundtrack orchestration and overall sound design, but is extremely weak on both characterization and storytelling because they either make the meaningful plot points stretch too thin or focus on the wrong character completely) their go to show marketed for kids instead of the actual kids programming that people shit on for being for, surprise, kids; constantly disregards valid critique from their consumers (to the point where infighting in the Fandom has gotten extremely ugly) that people either give up on interacting completely or simply vanish and take all their things with them (because no one seems to understand where these critiques come from, or how being unable to admit your special little show is imperfect is actually not a good thing for both you and others).

This isn't even accounting for the fact the Fandom seems to have doubled in it's overall toxicity since Disney took over. Which is par for the course when a mega corporation takes hold of something that started out extremely political in nature anyway. The Cash Cow machine needs feeding after all...

To any of my lovely artist followers, mutuals and friends 🫶

Do any of you know how to make art prints? Or do you have a site that you like to use (that is ideally on the lower price range)?

Would really appreciate any and all tips that you guys might have!! And feel free to reblog to reach more people 🩷

the new answer in progress video is really good because it explains the actual reason chatGPT was involved in the screenwriters' strike

It's because there's a lot more to writing a script than putting words on a page, but if an AI put words on a page and then screenwriters had to do all the pitching, scriptdoctoring, editing, budgetting, etc, then the AI would be credited as the "writer".

Which would cause issues with regards to credits, residuals, etc

You know, the rest of the stuff the strike was about. The same issues caused by streaming services not offering residuals, studios cancelling shows before the point writers get paid, etc

which is very different from the popular narrative I saw on here, which was "here are all these important labour issues, AND ALSO ChatGPT IS GOING TO TAKE OUR JOBS"

And that's sort of my problem with the state of AI discourse on this site, because you have very real labour and social issues flattened into "AI ART ISN'T REAL ART 😭😭"

to the point where a person gets clowned on for doing a project with their child where they locally train a model on their kid's pictures and see what the model makes of it

which is a super good project to do with kids! it introduces them to some of these issues, like "if an AI model is trained on a bunch of data and then produces something sold commercially, is that the intellectual property of everyone who contributed to the training, or not? Can the work be considered transformative?"

but it's an art project involving AI so the parent is obviously the embodiment of evil itself

anyway, I continue to think that the internet as a whole should take a step back from the ludditist take that "AI=universally terrible", if only because it makes it really difficult to see the actual labour issues that are accentuated by the thing

I like to go into bookstores and just read blurbs and buy books that sound fun. recently I’ve been very into fairytale type fantasy. I’ve been lucky so far in that most of the books I’ve chosen like this have either been really good, good, or at least enjoyable with a few exceptions. anyway all this to say i read ‘once upon a broken heart’ today. it was definitely one of the exceptions.

swifties talk about her like she runs a cult. they discuss her lore and predict her future like she's a tv series. they read into every costume change like it's a secret message she's sending to them specifically. they are literally deciding her fate using numerology. touching grass isn't enough for these people, they think she planted the grass and made it rain too

the issue with what-about-ism is that it should have been an excellent opportunity to challenge someone's stance by introducing another point of view and expanding the bubble that people live in, and instead it's become an opportunity to suggest extreme edge cases that are treated as a joke rather than an additional voice in the matter (and yeah, most of the time it does feel like a joke if not just a sign of someone missing the point).

Earth-19: In a world where King Edward rules a 20th century empire, this Earth is home to several Steampunk themed heroes such as Bat Man, Accelerated Man, The Wonder Woman, and The Shrinking Man

what i really like so far abt 2 is that they put in a lot more little details. the sprites still have the paper doll thing where sometimes you need to approximate an action thats too complicated to animate but way more stuff DOES have custom animations like particio pulling out a bag or throné doing the little knife flip at the end of battles, and also it seems like the protagonists you havent picked up yet have different dialogue depending on the party leader who talks to them which is great. most importantly though i really like that they have dialogue that react to each other in combat though, like giving them all lines for when specific party members do a good job or are in danger is really sweet

The brightside of all of Peacemaker’s appearances sucking except for that one time (and also his appearances in CHECKMATE 1988) is it means nobodys pretending to read him so I dont have to get fooled and tricked by people with comics Chris icons like I did with people with comics Moonknight icons
