#I care about this so much

[triassictriserratops]

AI could have been propelled as a way revolutionize the way we work and spend our time. We could have used it as a tool to make our lives and tasks easier and carve out more time for exploration, creativity, enrichment, social change.

It is NO ACCIDENT that they have, instead, used it to replace the arts. They want to deprive us of innovation and fulfillment.

Innovation challenges their monopolies. If they control the source, they never have to compete with new ideas.

Creation threatens their control. If we can invent or solve problems ourselves - we won't look for a plastic device on 2-day delivery to solve our problem. We can look to each other and to ourselves instead. They HATE that.

Fulfillment and enrichment threatens their financial control. If we have more time with friends and family and build strong communities and resource sharing with each other, we won't be as reliant on the meager paychecks they offer us. We won't have to settle for the hand to mouth lives they give us.

They WANT to take color from us. They WANT to take art from us. THEY want us tired and broken and unable to tell stories or share ideas through art, and music, and books.

We CANT let them.

SUPPORT ALL ARTISTS.

Do you need something designed? Commission an artist! Do you want something for your home? Go to an indie art crawl! Support digitally, support physically, SHARE your favorite artists so other people can see them!

USE LIBRARIES. GO TO YARD SALES. GO TO THRIFT STORES.

Collect physical media where you can. Protect it like it's gold, because it IS. Share it with people near you. Invite friends for a movie night and pop in a DVD. Lend someone a book that makes you think of them. Collect and save educational materials and how-to's.

FIND MUSIC THAT MAKES YOU FEEL SOMETHING.

Share your favorite small band with a friend. Go to a shitty local open mic and find someone new. Go to a concert in the park. Learn a new instrument. Be bad at it. Play it anyways.

READ POETRY.

Listen to the pieces of humanity that people left for us to find. What do they tell you about other people? What do they tell you about yourself?

Write poetry. Write BAD poetry because you're HUMAN and you GET to be bad and being bad means it's FUCKING real. And because nobody else will ever see the world exactly like you.

WATCH ANIMATION

Realize that EVERY pixel and EVERY cell was created by someone who wanted to share a piece of their soul with you. THE CURTAINS ARENT JUST BLUE IF A HUMAN CHOSE THE COLOR BLUE.

COMMENT AND REBLOG. DONT LET ART DIE IN THE LIKES.

"I'm not an artist" I PROMISE YOU, YOU ARE.

Art is a VERB. it is what humans SHARE with each other. It is how we love each other. How we hate each other. How we connect with each other. How we build together.

Art is what we are to each other.

DONT LET THEM TAKE YOU OUT OF ART.

The first of what will likely end up being several Dark Urge BG3 Raimiverse Harry Osborn parallels post because tumblr allows a max of ten images per post which I will not be forgiving it for.

How fandom portrays Tim's first months as Robin:

Tim: Batman, it's time for your anti-depressants.

Bruce: *grumbles*

Tim: Speak louder.

Bruce: Go away Jason.

Tim: It's Tim, actually.

Bruce: GO AWAY.

How it actually was in the Batman comics:

Tim: How did my report card got on your fridge?

Bruce: I took a look at your grades, and they were great, why? Except for chemistry. Maybe you should not go out as Robin to focus on school.

Tim: Not happening. I'm not falling for that.

Bruce: Well, if you are really going to do this, we should add bubble wrap to the suit.

Tim: I'm not made of glass.

Bruce: Are you sure about that? By the way, do you eat enough? ALFRED, can you cook something for Tim? He needs some food.

Tim: I'm fine Bruce!

Bruce: Are you sure? Do you want a hug? If you want a hug, you can ask. I can have Alfred make some hot chocolate.

Tim: You realize I have parents, rights?

Bruce: I don't see them in this room.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but as a creator -

I am fine with "the audience" -

downloading my fics

printing my fics

copy/pasting or screenshotting my fics

sharing your saved copy of my fics with anyone else who might want them in the unlikely but never impossible case that my fics are no longer available on ao3

making a book of my fic(s) and running your fingers across the pages while lovingly whispering my precioussss

doing these things with anything I create for fandom, such as meta, headcanons, au nonsense like 'texts from the brodinsons,' etc

I am not fine with "the audience"

doing any of the above with the purpose/intent of plagiarizing my work or passing it off as their own in any capacity

feeding my work into ai for any reason whatsoever

Save the fandom things. Preserve the fandom things. Respect the fandom things.

Enjoy the fandom things.
