Superman's gonna be public domain in a few years. What are they gonna do then? There's already a bunch of bad stories where he goes crazy and kills people.

What the fascistic hatred for abstract art and idolisation of only the Rational, Realistic Art, the only one that comes close to a science, the only one that can be excused as existing (because the more realistic it is the less you see the artist in it and the more it can conform to a standard) have done is unforgivable. btw

Fascism notoriously hates abstract art, and positivism's legacy was a degradation of humanities that led to a distate for art that couldn't be objectively graded on a clear scale or measures in scientific truths. The result is the need to be able to give a correct and rational value to art, and the scale chosen for it was realism.

Which inevitably brings the thought that was isn't realistic is bad, on principle! It is idiotic because art is inherently subjective! You cannot grade it in such a way because it is not meant to be a surefire and technically onthologically correct or incorrect pursuit, it is meant to be art, but fascism hates what it cannot grade as either superior or inferior, degenerate or inspiring, and therefore makes up ways to do that that actually have no meaning and make no sense.

+ It is also why hyperrealistic art is often soulless - not always - but think of (as the example that Jaja gave me, hi) those Instagram drawings of perfectly photorealistic lips or eyes. They all look the same. They all look maybe even incredible, but by virtue of all looking the same, they lose the artist. Could you tell if two drawings of the same set of lime-biting lips were made by different people, when they are so so similar, and so so realistic? What of the prevalent AI art artstyle, a mesh of perfect rendering, all looking the same? Where is the individuality in making all art look identical! Where is the artist in a drawing that does not show any stylistic choice!

The point is. Your art style isn't holding you back because it isn't "realistic enough." You can do what you want forever

boyish - chapter 12 16.5k words | 151.8k words total | loscar

“You’re just the expert of amicable break ups, or something.” Logan doesn’t think about Oscar saying that when one of Mia’s friends comes into his work the summer after graduation and asks if he’s “finally dating that Australian boy.” He says no, because he’s not, and she leaves appearing unconvinced. Logan can barely remember her name, but for some reason, he’s upset she doesn’t know Oscar’s. It makes him feel weirdly sick. He daydreams about crawling into a bucket of live bait and waiting to be thrown out to the water, seeing who will latch onto him first.

IT'S BEEN 84 YEARS (three months)... i hope this waters ur crops. 16k words of boyish loscar back on the table. my semester is almost over and i might explode if i don't finish this fic soon i have been dying to share the ending with you all <3 if anyone remembers me saying i was afraid of chapter 12 please know it kicked my ass way harder than i ever dreamed it could. PLEASE ENJOY!

+ here is a link to chapter one if you would prefer :)

really fun parallels between Minami & Nishida in which one guy who wants most of the fights he gets into generally has a bit of a dodgy win/lose ratio, meanwhile the other who has only ever welcomed one single fight in his life is the more violently competent

I’m so stupidly glad I have Tsukihime in my life, it’s one of the most important things in the world to me and the only reason I read it in the first place was because I saw a post claiming it had like, the worst sex scenes ever written and I wanted to know for myself how true that was (it’s not (they’re serviceable))

Hello! Merry Christmas! Hope you’re having a splendid day.

I messaged you a bit ago telling you I may give Larry lore a go when I had time and TikTok made my decision for me. I am typically a pretty skeptical person, but as aforementioned I am gay so I did pick up on enough undertones in Louis’ lyrics alone to find it worth my while to pay attention further.

I came across an “unreleased” Louis song called All Along, and it seems to be legitimate. I was wondering if you had any thoughts on it, either its reliability as a true song or its meaning. If the evidence in the video for it is also real and he never saw Ed Sheeran with anyone else in Manchester, that would almost seal the deal for me haha.

Anyway, thanks for reading, and enjoy your holiday!

Awww, thanks for sending this! I got sick for Christmas (part of volunteering and worth it), but I'm bouncing back--appreciate the kind words, and I hope you're doing well, too! I think you can pick up a LOT in Louis's lyrics, not just songs, like, full albums, lmao. I haven't seen the video for All Along, but I've heard it and read the lyrics, and yeahhhhhhhh, HEARD, CHEF
