#I want someone to put in the same effort I do so I can be loved the way I love

[joe-willow]

Why are people even writting with ai this is, this is like one of the most stupid thing ever. first of all, this isn't writting at all, this is just lazyness, and moreover disrespect to the art, whether We're writting à fanfiction or à book.

My philosophy teacher made me realize à lot of things about books/writting in general. My second thing is that writting is a Journey, yeah, even if you're writting some bl, romance or whatever, you will put your LIFE into that shit because it UOUR story it comes from your mind and you want it to be real to ksjmsbmsvl come to life to express yourself your idea you you your thing hour vision idk, and even if in the end you hate what you made you put in this increible efforts to make your textile sense and who knows, maybe someone will like it, or not, whatever, you made it you went through it. You did it you're done it you should be proud so I agree, people using ai to writte thing are WEAK. And for writting fanfics ?????? This is even worse. Yall using ai for this don't even know what are fanfics that's crazy

And lastly, unpopular opinion apparently, considering my classmates opinion on using ai, using ai for homework is STUPID. Like why would you do this. I understand that you can hate working for school/teachers and homework but like. Why. This is stupid. Just use your mind, you can come up with insane things yk. Just take some time I swear

And yeah some of you will tell me "oh but I had no time" YEAH FR ME TOO how many times do you think i gave homworks late ? Or not a all ? A LIT OF TIMES. yall need to assume that you didn't do your work and if you didn't have the tume, like, its ok ?????? I mean bro No need to use ai try something even if you only have one 1h left for an essay ig that giving your teacher something made by YOU even if It's hella rushes is better than using ai that will write the most boring shit ever + no sources + you just dont want to think + like oh my god yeah thinking is gonna hurt you + being able to think is literally what defines a human being

anyway, all this to say that ai SUCKS and isn't. And will never. Be a tool. Or a from of art. My ART TEACHER told me one day that I should try to use ai for my works as a tool. Do you understand to what we've cone to. What the hell is wrong with her. Does she consider art as something commercial or that must be done ? Art is you. It's none of the others business. ART IS YOU and I do not mean that you are art. And I don't think we can consider everything we create as art. You're not art. It's you will of creating something that expresses you, in any kind of way possible of what this could mean that will define your creations as art. Art is expressing. ai comes up with the most fifting things for your words, that's all. Ai can't do art. What it does is not art it's not a tool it's pure shit

If I went further, I'd say that no one is an artist (yeah even the people we consider as artists) and that at the same time evryone could possibly be an artist. Artist is not a job its not supposed to bring you money I'm losing my words and I'm really going off topic i already was off topic so much oh my god. Also random thought but art has no tools

Im maybe exaggerating a little bit. But ai sucks anyway. That's all.

no way ppl are using ai to write ao3. what happened to being a tortured writer. what happened to blood on the page. what happened to the ao3 curse. people used to get run over, have their houses burned down, break their entire spines and they still put in the work to finish a chapter. fuck you, using ai. y’all are weak

do you know of Yasmin Benoit? She’s probably the biggest asexual and aromantic activist in the Western world right now. She’s a Black British woman and model as well as activist, and has faced a lot of misogynoir and acephobia from people who don’t believe a pretty Black woman could possibly be asexual, so she started the #thisiswhatasexuallookslike movement on social media to combat the idea that only a specific type of person can be asexual (white and “unattractive,” generally, because asexuality is perceived as a white thing and god forbid someone “attractive” isn’t interested in sex). She’s really cool! For the Black History Month challenge I’m going to draw some pictures of my Black asexual characters in the theme of that movement- ace rep is so minimal to begin with and Black ace rep even more scarce and unrecognized even within the community-, which might take a while because I want to put in the time and effort to draw and describe a number of characters well, but I’m really excited to do it. Anyway, if you don’t know her, you should check her out! She’s worked with organizations like Stonewall UK and is fighting for a ban on conversion therapy targeted at asexuals and aromantics, among other things.

Yes, I know who Yasmin Benoit is!

And yes, when you associate Black femininity with loose morals (i.e., being a Jezebel, something I spoke about in a prior lesson), you would be shocked to think that a Black woman (that you are sexually turned on by) MUST feel the same way. It's a long held, racist stereotype to dismiss the sexual abuse of Black women and girls as their own fault and misplace the blame for such an action.

And as long as you make sure to speak that very message out loud to the Black viewers you want to support your work, go for it 👍🏾

BRF Reading - 13th of February, 2025

This is speculation only

Cards drawn on the 13th of February, 2025

Question: What is Queen Camilla waiting for/expecting to happen re the Three of Wands card in the last reading?

Interpretation: She wants people to stop remembering what she did to Princess Diana and to stop using it in judging her character.

Card One: The Magician

This is a card of manifestation. of trying to make something happen, of using your abilities and willpower to try and manifest something.

The energy here is of someone who wants something to happen or who expects something to happen. They have put some effort into making this manifestation happen but so far they have been unsuccessful. Now they expect it to happen almost automatically, maybe with a bit of a nudge via the press (The Magician card represents the planet Mercury, and Mercury is about thoughts and communication, verbal and written, so using written communication (the press) to try and manifest a narrative (way of thinking)). I think this is related to Queen Camilla attaining the position of Queen Consort. When she was elevated to that position, she expected whatever she wanted to happen to occur automatically, or with very little manipulation/very easily (The Magician is the master manipulator). It hasn't manifested yet, so she is still waiting for it to happen.

Card Two: Judgement

Judgement is the card of passing judgement on something, of reckoning, of self reflection, and of second chances. It is also the card for Pluto, the ruling planet of Scorpio, King Charles's sun sign.

The energy here is of wanting a second chance, to have people stop judging Queen Camilla for the actions of her past. She wants a do-over where her past actions are not held against her, not referred to, and ideally forgotten. There is no sense of self reflection or acknowledgement that she did something wrong here, just an energy of 'it was so long ago, why do people keep bringing it up? I want it to be over and done with'. Unfortunately, some actions become a part of our story and as such they can not be forgotten or ignored, yet that is what Queen Camilla wants.

The connection to the planet Pluto tells me two things: first, what Queen Camilla did was seen by the general public as something truly horrible and that is why they can't forget it (Pluto is the planet of life changing events, usually traumatic ones); and second, that she expects her husband to fix this or he told her he would fix it or something like that. She certainly did not expect to have her actions remembered and to be judged by them all these years later, and she is tired of it, and she wants everyone to just forget about it all.

Clarifier: The Queen of Cups

I drew a clarifier to see what the Judgement card was about and I drew The Queen of Cups. This is a card of motherhood and of a water sign person, especially a Cancer. The energy of this card is of Princess Diana, a sun sign Cancer (like Prince William and Camilla herself). Queen Camilla is tired of being judged for her behaviour towards Princess Diana and her role in the marriage break up and she would very much like everyone to stop judging her on her past actions.

Card Three: The Tower

This is a card of disaster, trauma, sudden upheaval, something that destroys your life and forces you to rebuild it from the ground up. This is how Queen Camilla sees her relationship with Princess Diana. The public fallout from her behaviour destroyed her life, in her eyes. She had to rebuild her public reputation and act in a certain way so she was seen as an acceptable spouse for the future King, and it was a lot of hard work, and it never really worked - she never reached the same popularity as Princess Diana. This is a very self-pitying and resentful energy - an 'I don't deserve to suffer like this, I shouldn't be overshadowed by a anyone' kind of energy.

Underlying Energy: The Sun in Reverse

The Sun is light, warmth, hope, optimism, joy, success, being positive. In the reverse it is blocked happiness, negativity, being out of the sunlight and in the shadows. This is both how Queen Camilla feels and what she wants to happen. She feels that right now, as Queen Consort, she is still being overshadowed by Princess Diana, and she wants their roles to be reversed - Princess Diana to sink into the shadows and she herself to shine and get all the attention and warm affection from the public etc.

Major Arcana: All the cards in this reading are major arcana. This is both a very public issue and one that is very important to Queen Camilla.

Conclusion:

Queen Camilla wants people to stop remembering and judging her for what she did to Princess Diana. She wants a second chance where everyone forgets what she did or, at the very least, doesn't mention it or include it in her character assessment. She feels that her relationship with Princess Diana ruined her life and caused her a lot of suffering, and that is not fair. She wants Princess Diana to remain in the shadows, forgotten, while she gets the chance to shine and bask in the warmth of public affection. That is what she is trying to manifest, that is what she is waiting for, and that is what she expected to happen when she became Queen Consort.

i just think it’s crazy how hypocritical and mob mentality people are about social media content creators? i’ve seen people make fun of them saying “you’re just youtubers why are you touring like celebrities”, but then go on to say they need to travel internationally?? that’s quite a big feat for anyone, let alone “just some youtubers”. also, when they allude to touring people freak, clip it, and get excited. so why now when they do what SOME people must be asking for people wanna flip it for a new thing to complain about? i understand being disappointed, but relax? it’s true! they are just youtubers. they are also “adult men” as everyone loves to point out. they can and will film whatever they want so i don’t understand why people feel compelled to complain. watch it or don’t. i’m assuming the biggest culprit is that their fan base is mostly children. can i really be the only one who thinks this way?

i digress.

I don’t think it’s hypocritical to like someone but hold them accountable. The triplets have been teasing a european tour for a MINUTE now. Almost to the point where it was easy to ASSUME that they were going to follow through and have some european dates. It’s insanely unfair to the people who have been begging for this since their first tour.

The triplets content as of recently has been lazy. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with people voicing their opinion on that. And i also don’t think you have to make the drastic decision to hate and not watch the triplets just because you disagree with a decision they make…Like…that’s kind of crazy. You aren’t going to like everything about a person or everything a person chooses to do but that doesn’t mean you have to hate them and completely rid them from your life.

It’s not about taking the excitement away from other fans. It’s about wanting the boys to put more of an effort into expanding the interactive aspects of their career to ALL of their audience, not just the percent that conveniently lives in the same country as them.

The sturniolos cash grab, which is more than likely controlled by their management. Have you seen some of their merch? Some of their prints are creative and fun and cool! But a lot of them are just bland and not worth the market price they list it at. Like you mentioned, most of their fanbase is younger. People who cannot legally be employed and make their own money. Which means they have to ask their parents for these expensive clothes. You can’t tell me they don’t know exactly what they’re doing.

Just as you are allowed to defend them, we are allowed to be frustrated and call them out. And even in being frustrated, i can still like them as people. Disagreeing with someone and hating someone CAN exist one without the other.

But I digress.

blush - tobio kageyama || wc: 1.1k || genre: fluff || masterlist || tags: he fell hard, 5+1, just a two paragraph bit of angst, happy ending, yn our confident queen, hinata there to help the plot, shy kageyama

syn. a little blush here, a little blush there, a makeup artist and an athlete fall in love. it's only so many times kageyama can see them before he loses his mind. someone beats him to it though

i.

the first time she meets kageyama tobio is for an ad for some curry brand. he’s not hard to work with and he doesn’t try to make conversation and make her job more difficult. that’s all she notes about him and doesn’t make an effort to look further in to him.

ii. 

he’s glad that it’s her doing his makeup the second time they meet. all of the other makeup artists he’s had to deal with for various ads or interviews always want to talk to him more than he wants to. the process takes much longer he’s noticed if they talk and he just wants to go home to get the makeup off of his face. it never feels good on his skin, too sticky and heavy.

“hello again,” she says with a smile. she’s brought less product this time and he appreciates it. 

“hello.” he watches her as she goes about cleaning everything and using disposable applicators to apply the minimal product to his face. he can't help the twitch when she puts concealer under his eyes.

“not like makeup?”

“feels too heavy.” she hums in response and nods as she searches through her bag for something. “i can use water-based products instead. they should feel lighter on your face.”

“okay,” he does admit it feels better. not as sticky and heavy. they don’t talk again after that.

iii.

the third time he begins to believe that it’s not a coincidence. but he can’t complain much when she’s gentle with applying what needs to be done and he’s found himself wishing she would talk to him more.

who keeps asking for this? does she keep asking to be the artist for all of his shoots? “do you like makeup?” that’s a stupid question, why would she do this for a living if she didn’t like it?

“yes,” she replies with a small laugh. “all done.” there’s a smile on her face that has his breath hitching and he’s not sure why. 

he brings it up to hinata and glares at the laugh he receives. “you like her.” he can hear him over the crude speakers of the phone. 

“idiot, i don’t like her. i barely know the person.” he scoffs and realizes hinata won’t be of any help in this. 

“trust me on this, i know you’re bad at feelings but you definitely have a little crush.” hinata can’t hold back his small bits of laughter through the sentence though.

“idiot.” with a click he hangs up the phone and finds himself staring at the wall. did he like her? they’ve met three times and he likes her? that seems ridiculous. 

he calls his manager five minutes later requesting her for all of his appearances.

iv. 

surprisingly, the next time they meet he isn’t sitting in her chair and she doesn’t have her makeup bag with her. it’s at a local diner and her booth is right across from his table. she gives him a smile after realizing it is him and he nods his head. 

he tries not to look at her but he hasn’t seen her look so…relaxed and free before. the actions she takes don’t look practiced and meticulous. he watched her putts around with the straw wrapper and almost knock over her glass of water with an inkling of a smile on his face. 

“do you want to sit with me?” he finds himself asking over the silence. 

“why?”

“i don’t like having lunch alone.” that’s a lie, he’s perfectly fine with eating alone. 

“okay, i don’t like eating lunch alone either.” they eat their lunch in silence and kageyama pays even though she tries to refuse. 

“you can pay next time,” an unspoken promise. 

v.

when he visits japan it doesn’t feel the same. maybe he’s grown too used to the structure of italy. the sights, the language, and the people. his heart yearns for italy on nights he sleeps in his childhood bed. it’s become uncomfortable and bulky compared to his bed in italy. as much as it hurts, japan doesn’t feel like home anymore. 

his friends are there…mostly, some have gone off across the world in their own ways. his family is there, his old coach is there, the place he got rejected for the first time. his first kiss was there, his first volleyball game. japan was his beginning but it feels like a coat that he’s grown out of but is still made to wear when the weather grows cold. it will always be warmth but not enough for him to stay there. 

he returns to italy two weeks later and the first thing he does it run to the beach and just watch the waves. italy is warm and italy is his home now. “funny seeing you here,” his eyes flutter open and behind him he sees her approaching him. “haven’t seen you recently, i thought it was my turn to pay?”

that’s another thing japan didn’t have. it didn’t have her. “it is.” she sits down beside him and they look at the clouds.

“where were you?” her voice feels as gentle as the waves. wearing down slowly at his resolve. 

“visiting japan,” he sighs and brings his knees down from his chest.

“most people would say visiting home you know.” she remarks with a small smile.

“japan doesn’t feel like home anymore.” she hums but doesn’t push. “i think i’ve been gone too long.”

“that happens…are you upset about it?”

“i’m…not sure.”

“that’s okay, do you want to get some lunch?”

“yeah, i’d like that.”

vi.

they’ve been meeting more frequently. numbers were exchanged and texts sent later than either should be up. quiet smiles at their phones between practice and appointments. it’s two months before he sits in her chair again. before the lights hit his face and the bag she carries with her is set down on the vanity next to him. 

his cheeks feel warmer than they used to. has she gotten closer? when he closes his eyes he can feel her breath and the soft touch of her fingers as she applies product to his face. “you’re really pretty tobio.” he feels his breath stutter a little bit. 

“thank you, you are too.” 

“might need something to cover the red on your cheeks.” oh…could she tell? “if you like me, you can just say so. i like you too.”

it takes a moment for the words to wrap around his brain. “i do. like you i mean.”

“i know,” she cleans off her pallets and throws away the applicators. “this is where you ask me on a date.”

“will you go on a date with me?”

“i would love to. be ready by six.”

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ALL!!!

WRONG TIMELINE, UNDYNE-

Saw this image, got the idea, and knew what I had to do.

Rare Undyne and Wingdings interaction! im curious of what she thinks of him with the little information she has, like he is technically her coworker, both being co-runners of the underground below KING ASGORE

And yet at meetings hes either a no show, or his brother is there on behalf of him (I assume, at least)

Either way I had fun making this cause ITS JUST SO FUNNYCDHHBDE and I adore Papyrus and Undynes relationship I really gotta draw something between em. ITS SO UNDERRATED! And a lot of the content I see is really flanderizing both of them so :(

Bonus non blurred version plus some work in progress’

This is why Wingdings doesn’t go outside much…

I wonder what hes thinking about

[sergle]

I'm thinking abt that pretty fall leaves embroidery pattern post and about how like... it is categorically a repost, it's a reupload. right? a thing that is generally disliked. but because it's credited, it's genuinely boosting the artist in question. and it could ALWAYS be like this. reposting content could ALWAYS be a symbiotic relationship, but because sourcing back to the original creator of something is so uncommon, it's just easier to ask people not to repost it at all. and people still don't understand the difference. or they'll go to the effort of cropping out usernames/signatures to repost something, which is More Effort than literally crediting the creator of something you liked enough to want to repost. Like. I literally don't actually care if my own shit gets reposted, you have to understand. I just don't want it STOLEN. But "do not repost" is easier to write on my art than "you can repost this, but don't alter the image/remove my signature, don't you dare write 'credit goes to the artist' because that is not credit, please link back to my original post or someplace that you can actually find me. please use an actual link/url instead of writing a non-clickable link of my username, because making it text instead of a clickable link cuts the number of people who will go to the effort of visiting my own page in Half." All those aggregate themed accounts, those fuckin annoying as hell instagrams and facebook groups that are like "body positive art we love wamen 💕 hashtag feminism" and then MASS-STEAL plus sized art created by women, if pages like these that always go and steal my older self-portraits and other works... If they just put a link to my prints of those pieces in the text of those posts, or, fuck, my commission info page? I would literally be living on the moon right now. I would have a house on the moon

I really feel like we need to normalise the "it's not about the iranian yoghurt" phrase outside of reddit circles bc i'll be so real i don't think it's playing videogames that's unattractive, it's how men who spend a majority of their free time playing videogames behave that's unattractive.

trying to tell other ppl about OCs is so hard and embarrassing, like yeah here's my automaton guy that I've been calling Empty Mask, yeah I nearly cried over the thought of him collecting broken porcelain dolls the other day, yeah he sounds kind of stupid but he's actually kind of a tragic character if u get to know his story,,,,,,

[neogotmyblack]

Clearing my drafts bc over the past year I felt a twinge of the chance to offer folks an out or a grace period, so to speak, to get themselves together, but after due consideration I shouldn’t have to hunt, scroll, check and follow up to see if someone un-racists themselves tbh. I may go back and see if they redeemed themselves when addressed and if I see they did, I’ll qrb my own post and say as such, but I’m not a detective. As such, I’ll also not go back to see how active someone is or isn’t anymore.

If I see the thing happened at any point, I’m posting it which will explain the flurry of posts suddenly this morning that were released from my drafts and a potential barrage of posts I may make later. That includes things from over years that I’ll transfer from my notepad, bc originally I started keeping the screencaps and names there & once I started posting here, I paused posting old ones in favor of the most recent transgressions as they happened. Maybe the writers acct is still up, maybe it isn’t; dc. I’m keeping the names on my notepad with a note but all pic evidence will go here with their @ as well bc i don’t see why I should have it taking space on my phone 🤷🏾‍♀️ Maybe the screen-cap is 3 years old, maybe they don’t even have tumblr anymore, iDC. Maybe I’ll use queue, maybe I won’t.

☼༄I always keep track of changed usernames or extra accts of that person that may pop up in my reading while perusing the tags & they note it in their bio or w/e in my phone too so there’s a paper trail (so to speak) so obviously I’ll be adding that lol
