#ALL ART IS POLITICAL

[bookwyrmseren]

metaphor refantazio is a direct response to the growing media illiteracy and lack of critical comprehension. it literally forces the themes and concepts down your throat bc the trust needed for the audience to understand nuance and subtlety is completely shattered.

to all the "we don't want politics in our games" players: yeah, i'm talking about you

[booksbabybooks]

Saw something this morning that was basically "don't let politics spoil fandom! It should be a safe space no matter who you voted for!" And you know what: fuck that. Fuck you if you think that.

If your fandom includes queer and trans folks, it's political.

If your fandom includes women, it's political.

If your fandom includes people of colour, it's political.

If your fandom includes disabled people , it's political.

If the art you enjoy and the characters you are shipping were created by any of the above categories, it's political.

And each and every one of those people have the right to say, fuck you if you voted against our rights and our autonomy. You don't get to do that then claim "fandom" as some untouchable safe space.

Galani is so cool in the story. Like sort of acting as the kind of wizard the Citadel produces. To contrast with the wizard Suvi is and is becoming. A mirror (haha) to Suvi and the audience.

Like how she clocks the singing as a threat to the project of empire. As something pretty but not in their control.

How she rhetorically tries to reframe Ame and the Spirits as 'interpersonal matters' and 'rituals'. How she is actively rejecting the lesson about the Spirits because it is dangerous to what wizards choose to believe about their own power and place in the world.

How she deliberately draws a line to like Morrow as the problem and not the lessons and worldview that produced him. A 'bad apple' argument if you will.

Also very funny to be like 'do you want to explain to your mom (plsplspls)'?

In the 1940s, musician Woodie Guthrie famously inscribed on his guitar the phrase: “This machine kills fascists.”

History is repeating itself and, while I’m no musician, I have an instrument of power. So, I’m taking a page out of Woodie Guthrie’s book.

One more time for the back row:

Any argument that starts from the premise "Better Call Saul wasn't about politics" isn't owed the dignity of a response.

Fanfiction is one of the few areas where you can say, “I reject your reality and substitute your own,” without the negative consequences of doing so in real life. You can say to canon, “I recognize that canon has made its decision, but given that it’s a stupid-ass decision, I’ve elected to ignore it,” then proceed to do so. If canon won’t give you the queer representation you deserve, then create your own. If you want your favorite fictional world to be less of heteronormative mayonnaise-slathered sausage fest, then you can make it happen.

Local Wizard Goes To Store, Casts Duplicate On All The Items

aka I went to the antique mart this weekend and did a bunch of art studies in augmented reality! SUPER fun way to hone the ol 3D brush skills

Every time I doubt that we are living in the worst and stupidest timeline, there’s stuff like this to remind me.

How Futurists Envisioned Advancements in Technology Being Used:

“We created this machine to take over your job, thus freeing you, the squishy mortal human for more creative or leisure efforts.”

How Advancements in Technology Wind Up Being Actually Used:

“We created this machine to flood the world with auto-generated art, thus giving you, the squishy mortal human more time to spend grinding it out at your dead-end pointless job.”

Few of the artist affected by AI art thievery.
