#(*SLAMS THIS SHIT DOWN*)

[cozylittleartblog]

cant tell you how bad it feels to constantly tell other artists to come to tumblr, because its the last good website that isn't fucked up by spoonfeeding algorithms and AI bullshit and isn't based around meaningless likes

just to watch that all fall apart in the last year or so and especially the last two weeks

there's nowhere good to go anymore for artists.

edit - a lot of people are saying the tags are important so actually, you'll look at my tags.

#please dont delete your accounts because of the AI crap. your art deserves more than being lost like that #if you have a good PC please glaze or nightshade it. if you dont or it doesnt work with your style (like mine) please start watermarking #use a plain-ish font. make it your username. if people can't google what your watermark says and find ur account its not a good watermark #it needs to be central in the image - NOT on the canvas edges - and put it in multiple places if you are compelled #please dont stop posting your art because of this shit. we just have to hope regulations will come slamming down on these shitheads#in the next year or two and you want to have accounts to come back to. the world Needs real art #if we all leave that just makes more room for these scam artists to fill in with their soulless recycled garbage #improvise adapt overcome. it sucks but it is what it is for the moment. safeguard yourself as best you can without making #years of art from thousands of artists lost media. the digital world and art is too temporary to hastily click a Delete button out of spite

Never did I expect myself to be mourning the absence of english essays and writing exams and theatre class critiques. Do you understand how fucking amazing of a grade I could get on an analysis of trauma in Critical Role? On Lou Wilson and Emily Axford's finesse in portraying the heavy expectations and double standards placed on children? On Ylfa Snorgelsson's relationship to death? On the journey of a man's relationship to violence? On an analysis of grief in Dimension 20? On the pitfalls of youth? On the dynamic between humanity and religion? On the journey of self-discovery and acceptance? On love in all its forms? On the nature of choice? On everything Brennan Lee Mulligan has to say about capitalism? On the tragedy of im/mortality? On Gerard and Elody's divorce? On the unfeeling and aimless happenstance of the universe? On the role of fate and destiny? I'm not saying it would be easy. I'm saying can you imagine how fucking cool it would have been to turn in 5 pages about a dnd show, feeling good about it?

okay I've got it. I've connected the dots. Vinh is clearly the best option in DE because he would recognize Max has two hands and would be totally on board with whatever the fuck she and Safi have going on. sorry Amanda you're too good for this trainwreck

there’s a very large chance that kuukou’s backstory parallels sasara’s more than anyone’s, in that they had very normal-ish upbringings but handled them very poorly lmao, but i’m choosing to believe light and shadow, medication vs meditation, twin dudes with buddha imagery jakurai and kuukou are living their lives the way they are to atone for past mistakes

Everyone always talks about the batarang but WHAT ABOUT THE BIRDARANG??

I know Nightwing has like wing-dings or something but does Red Hood use birdarangs? Has he forfeited batarangs out of anger for Batman and started using the kiddie equivalent? Does Robin refuse to use birdarangs because he thinks they're less cool?

Which -arang has the best aerodynamics? Which has the most spin? What was the need for three different types of the same tool?

Do the batfam get into fights about which is better? Does Batman reach into his pocket, only to feel the stupid shape of the birdarang and sigh before throwing it anyway? Like it's the equivalent of using your child's shovel toy as a gardening tool?

Is the sentient birdarang from Teen Titans go canon? Does it float around Wayne Manor annoying the hell out of people? So many questions... So little answers...

still thinking about your post about your dusknoir and how the option of doing Anything But What He Did was always available to him yet he chose to walk along a path that only ended up hurting himself and quite literally all that he held dear to himself.

I think he really beats himself up over it because there's something so gut wrenching over the idea that a safer, better option that wouldve guaranteed a good outcome to you and those you hold dear, yet your narrow scope of reality and the fear that crippling you if you had stepped out of your designed path (assuming he did not already do that when adapting to the father figure ruse that he tried to pull) had you by the neck to the point where even the option that 'things did not have to go this way' was already not possible, and you had no choice but to go on. and now, dusknoir had no one but himself to blame for the cracks and strains he forced upon the two kids who looked up to him. the option to be with them, to save them, to shield them from him, yet he took it upon himself to be the knife that stabs them in the back when they willingly embraced his shine and the venom that reeks into their bodies when he tells them how much they had meant *little*, if *nothing* to him at all. he could've raised their spirits high, yet he proceeded to slam them down into reality and teach them the harsh lesson that nothing good comes out of a stranger with good intentions, even when that stranger made you feel as though you deserved to be loved. that you did not need to be so afraid, and that there was no shame in who you are. he was their light, and he burned so bright that he left them tearing and weeping in the darkness.

Sinnoh.

i've seen so many lyrics pulled from that new tswift album and genuinely none of them have ever rhymed. what is she doing. even the fake lyrics people come up with for her new album seem more like lyrics than the stuff she actually wrote

Been having a rough couple of days. Send me asks?

love that the ravening war has expanded the lore on slamming down big style to now include the canonical existence of small style and medium style

HEY HEY HEY. SPEAKING OF NHW. im probably not gonna use them as background characters or anything at least not yet but i'm wondering if u would perhaps have Thoughts on what the bitb boys powers would b if they were parahumans. i have like. vague ideas of trigger events (rand's being losing rachel, rolan's seeing the bodies in the water, kian's could b fucking Anything he's kind of had a shit life in general yk) and i think i've like. briefly talked abt what their powers could be??? but i haven't given it much thought. rand thinker powers (<<my beloved paranoid boy) rolan changer/striker maybe and kian like. idk kian's a mystery 2 me rn. and also trying 2 figure out what the queen and the hivemind would be!!! like a fucking endbringer type monster with insane fucking master powers??? i don't know!!! i don't think i'll put them in nhw (it is a primarily prime defenders au and i don't wanna muddy it too much w other characters) but i just RLY want 2 discuss what the hell their situation would b. gripping u by the shoulders. if u had to put the bitb boys in worm what would u do with them. do u have thoughts. eyes emoji!!!!

HI WHIKSEY HI. yeah youve infected me with brain worms (ha! ) and now imagine me staring into the distance . what would i do to them if i put them into worm.... i love love love rand thinkers powers absolutely yes agreed. okay but listen here me out here is what i would do to them if i put them into worm.

hang on tumblr is being a lil freak and not letting me post this if ive got too many words or something??? idk im gonna try to add my thoughts to a rb tho. the amount of thoughts is normal

[byanyan]

want to be here....... want to write & interact & shove byan at everyone........ but sitting down to put words together... actually typing things out... is not what my brain wants to do

[archersxartxblog]

you know that feeling when you have a horrible idea?

I just thought of the possibility of Caleb and Fjord being born in the Warden's twins universe. and I don't mean like how I was originally going to introduce them, but like Young Ingo and Emmet are still in Hisui When both Caleb and Fjord are born, Zisu is basically their step mom.

Warden Ingo having to tell the twins they're going to be big brothers, Emmet gets to be a big brother. older Emmet in the present is either excited or surprised when Ingo returns with this nephews. Little Ingo coming to the realization that this is his future and isn't sure how to process any of it.

the crazy thing is it could work.

IDK, been trying to come up with something to write/draw and my brain just spat out this.
