do u ever see comments on posts and artwork full of effort and thought and passion etc and like. think about that post that talks about how people have the darndest time interacting with art without trying to crack a joke about it. is it really so boring to take someone's art seriously? is it necessary to demean someone's efforts, however unintended, for a 'joke' that consists of you being like "ooOOoOh how weird lol!!" like i don't want or mean to be a killjoy. but i think about that post a lot. like y do u need to add a punchline to something that doesn't need one. who asked u. why does it need to be funny. and u don't even have the decency to acknowledge its merit ;/

#wynn speaks #don't get me wrong i love being silly it's 1 of my most valued traits #but like. idk.#imagine seeing a genuinely cool animation of how a feathered dinosaur might look in a jurassic park-esque movie #and you comment that it looks like a big bird creepypasta. like rlly u couldn't keep that to urself?#sorry it's probably not that serious. i'm just extremely petty and that comment annoyed me and now i am in my petty mode #i went to check the artist out (they're on twitter @wobblyworks) and turns out dinosaurs is their Whole Thing #tbh the feathered dino animation reminds me of like #so i went to this science museum to chaperone my little sister n her classmates and they had this fun li'l thing #where a guy was in basically a full-body puppet which was a feathered t-rex #and they treated it like a 'real' t-rex while talking abt dino facts #they let kids throw a light ball at it to 'play' w it it was very cute #and like you could See the puppetteer u could see their legs and shoes and stuff #but even middle schoolers were able to look past that and see how genuinely fucking cool that was!#like yes they made jokes abt the sneakers and how a human crawled out the rex when the show was over and they had to put the suit away #but they were in so much genuine aw it was rlly cute. and it makes sense bc the suit was really well made! it had a moving mouth/jaw #and i wouldn't be surprised if it had a mechanism to blink its eyes #but i digress #i'm not saying that u can Only interact with art with complete seriousness. like jokes r fine #but idk. becomes a problem when that is the only way u interact with art. and also if you're unfunny and personally annoy me #and i'm not saying that person is the kind of person to do that. bc idk them. i'm just like #kind of annoyed with seeing repeat instances of comments that r like 'hmm this art... what if i made it about how funny i am!''#i say kind of but then i look up and there is an entire wall of tags that r just me griping about it and a detour about a dino puppet suit #sorry besties i just needed to get that out of my system ily <3 #btw the dude's part of a project/kickstarter called 'forgotten bloodlines'#and it seems to be an animated documentary about prehistoric creatures #i recommend u check out the trailer it looks soo cool
