Vibes based grading system.

(for @epistemologys, who wanted some post-canon, teacher WWX)

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #wei wuxian #lan wangji #Thank you for participating in the raffle and for your patience! This was a really fun prompt!#I always loved it when teachers had bonus questions on assignments and tests. Especially if they were fun!#WWX strikes me as the type to have bonus assignments - but also his own chaotic system of what does and doesn't get a point.#Note; not arbitrary. It makes sense to him and anyone who's been around him long enough.#When one has to deal with a lot of things to grade it really does make a difference when something (positive or negitive) stands out.#(especially papers...oh god...shared essay topic grading is a special hell)#He would care that they understand the principals of what he's teaching. He'd also value students thinking outside of the box.#WWX would be hard to argue and *win* against but if the attempt is good enough? I think you'd have his respect and a little bonus point.#I like the idea of post-canon teachers wangxian. Grading papers together can be a love language.#Perhaps it is just a beautiful ending for a character to be able to rest and have stability.#This isn't what being a teacher is like. But in comparison to how WWX was living before? Peace and quiet.

Penelope is also Athena's pet/blorbo/special little mortal/etc. and if you think otherwise you're straight up wrong.

You're also wrong if you think Athena only likes Penelope because of Odysseus and/or Telemachus. As if Athena didn't see a young Penelope pull some shit and immediately think "Oh! Another mind to mold! C'mere you! Let's do some riddles and weaving!". Athena was happy that two of her favorite pets have met and fell in love!

#maybe even Athena introduced them! idk #I mean c'mon. Pen is KNOWN for her weaving AND her Cunning and she basically knew that was Odysseus that was in disguise #Athena had to make Penelope go to sleep because she was sad AND she would've figured shit out.#Idc who Athena favored first but Athena definitely favored Penelope even before she was married. I will die/kill on that hill #everytime I see someone minimize/erase/devalue/etc. Penelope I want to bash my head against the wall.#*bangs pots and pans together in rage*#I think some of you only like Penelope because Odysseus likes her :') not all but... enough that it makes me sad.#like I've noticed some people only like my odysseus posts and not my Penelope ones. and oof. ;~; that tells me a lot😞#like yes. she's a bit of an enigma...AND THAT'S THE POINT. She's so intelligent that she's tricking the narrator/audience AND Odysseus!#Mad rambles #penelope #penelope of ithaca #penelope odyssey #penelope of sparta #Water Wife #odyssey #the odyssey #greek mythology #tagamemnon #athena #epic the musical #shot by odysseus #essay

Saw a post talking about this and didn't want to derail it, but like, honestly, at this point, I'm becoming less and less tolerant of people acting like straight/cis passing privilege is a real, very serious thing that needs to be taken into consideration every time someone speaks on queer issues bcs I swear to god the only time I ever see it actually brought up is when someone is trying to deny someone else a seat at the table. Like first it was used against bi+ people to explain why we're not queer unless we're in a same gender relationship, and then it was used to shit all over ace and aro people for not being "visibly queer", then they turned on nonbinary people who "look cis", and now I see people throwing it at trans men for some reason like???? This is legit becoming an exclusionist dogwhistle to me. Any merit to this concept is completely obliterated by assholes who are so addicted to playing oppression olympics they're meticulously crafting pokemon type advantage charts to categorize all the gays based on who actually has "real" problems and who doesn't, it's agonizing.

Like putting "straight/cis passing privilege" up on the shelf next to "comphet" until people can learn how to use it in a way that doesn't invalidate someone else's queerness.

As cameras becomes more normalized (Sarah Bernhardt encouraging it, grifters on the rise, young artists using it), I wanna express how I will never turn to it because it fundamentally bores me to my core. There is no reason for me to want to use cameras because I will never want to give up my autonomy in creating art. I never want to become reliant on an inhuman object for expression, least of all if that object is created and controlled by manufacturing companies. I paint not because I want a painting but because I love the process of painting. So even in a future where everyone’s accepted it, I’m never gonna sway on this.

if i have to explain to you that using a camera to take a picture is not the same as using generative ai to generate an image then you are a fucking moron.

#ask me #anon #no more patience for this #i've heard this for the past 2 years #“an object created and controlled by companies” anon the company cannot barge into your home and take your camera away #or randomly change how it works on a whim. you OWN the camera that's the whole POINT #the entire point of a camera is that i can control it and my body to produce art. photography is one of the most PHYSICAL forms of artmakin #you have to communicate with your space and subjects and be conscious of your position in a physical world.#that's what makes a camera a tool. generative ai (if used wholesale) is not a tool because it's not an implement that helps you #do a task. it just does the task for you. you wouldn't call a microwave a “tool”#but most importantly a camera captures a REPRESENTATION of reality. it captures a specific irreproducible moment and all its data #read Roland Barthes: Studium & Punctum #generative ai creates an algorithmic IMITATION of reality. it isn't truth. it's the average of truths.#while conceptually that's interesting (if we wanna get into media theory) but that alone should tell you why a camera and ai aren't the sam #ai is incomparable to all previous mediums of art because no medium has ever solely relied on generative automation for its creation #no medium of art has also been so thoroughly constructed to be merged into online digital surveillance capitalism #so reliant on the collection and commodification of personal information for production #if you think using a camera is “automation” you have worms in your brain and you need to see a doctor #if you continue to deny that ai is an apparatus of tech capitalism and is being weaponized against you the consumer you're delusional #the fact that SO many tumblr lefists are ready to defend ai while talking about smashing the surveillance state is baffling to me #and their defense is always “well i don't engage in systems that would make me vulnerable to ai so if you own an apple phone that's on you”#you aren't a communist you're just self-centered

~ Extremely Unwilling Magical Protagonists Attempt To Outrun The Plot And Not Fucking Die ~

(@takofukkatsumi this tag is from a while ago but it hasn't left my brain -- L-Space got very weird all of a sudden)

#discworld #rincewind #the luggage #svsss #shen qingqiu #sqq #takofukkatsumi honestly thank you for this tag i've been chuckling on and off about the luggage overtaking sqq for a while now #something about it feels Right. no one expects the luggage until it's on you #honestly my main goal out of this picture is to force svsss fans to witness The Luggage and its horrible legs #shen yuan and rincewind hit that awkward point where you're keeping pace with a stranger #you can't quite manage to speed up or slow down at the right point to break contact #so they end up having a VERY weird conversation #at least anything sqq says is not the weirdest thing rincewind has heard #got sucked into a book? let him introduce you to the librarian #actually now i want the librarian to meet the system #if anyone could figure out a way to beat the system's head in it'd be an orangutan offended on behalf of literary characters everywhere #conversely both sqq and sqh are capable of ''speaking'' with pratchett style footnotes ARE are capable of seeing each other's footnotes #they weaponize this against each other immediately #honestly intrigued to see how many notes this gets - what's the general overlap between discworld fans and mxtx fans?#or is it literally the two of us here in this venn diagram?#i feel like it should exist though - are both not simply fantasy parodies in one variety or another??#my art

this is making me so insane im gonna thhrow up

#who was the one that pointed out how similar these scenes are earlier?? bc i just went back to watch both of them and am now losing my mind #shannon and buck have. the EXACT same expressions on their face in the beginning #and the close-ups when they both drop their respective bombs. are shot to look the exact same too #then the conversation beats lining up when they need to repeat it again for eddie #then after the endings here the two scenes diverge bc buck welcomes eddie's resistance to change but shannon pushes back against it #911

I ADORE your design for Charlie. It’s so adorable!!!!!!

I’m so glad y’all loved her design!!

#ask reply #genuinely I was pretty proud of Charlie’s look #so the fact so many folks liked her made me so happy #I really wanted her to stand out even against other ghost kids #so she got this monochromatic look to her #like she’s been a ghost so long she’s lost her colours #along with that she resembles the puppet more #almost like they fused into one by this point #I really tried to make her both ghostly and eerie #but also cute and friendly #so I think I found that perfect balance #I’m glad one of yall took note of her oversized sleeves #I thought it was a cute design and kept that ghost vibe to her #I gotta draw her again soon!!#we all love Charlie Emily here 🖤🤍

a bit of my postcanon vision

i heart people arguing

#hfjone #bryce hansen #amelia euler #my art #i have beef with post-canon one stuff that just insta-fixes everything without really hashing out how some of these people could #get horrifically angry at each other... not that i think their relationships can or should be ruined forever i would just like to explore #how badly the boys treated amelia IF YOU THINK ABOUUUTT ITTTTTT #sure stone was the one to intentionally exclude her from the team but bryce+liam dont really do much to actually bring her in the loop #even when liam had months and months to tell her. he simply didnt tell her at any point what stone said about the votes being fake #and i dont knowwww i want to see amelia's tendency to lose herself in really maladaptive acceptance butt up against bryce and his like...#eagerness to leave everything behind. You understand me. you get it. anyway i have a few thousand words kicking around that will probably #never be finished or published but trust me I THINK ABOUT IT. A LOT

it's time for spartacus :)

#crassus lost his unfair +20 Emotional Appeal Due To Life Circumstances but gained a much more important #+3000 Most Interesting Character Of His Generation advantage which means he's finally returned to A Character with Characterization #which IN TURN MEANS i get to work on spartacus again babyyyyyy. we have something to work against. etc etc.#also I wrote a separate version of trikaranos entirely from calamus and (redacted)'s points of view to put the pin in Something Specific #not to be vague about it. i'll post it. if you've been here for awhile you will remember me saying something about the crassus comic #being the set up for the spartacus comic. the thing that bridges the two is the third character that's present in everything #which is not actually rome. it's The Crowd. in order to have a crowd one must create characters in a crowd. or whatever #im TIRED this month has been Too Much actually. there's something about getting bad doctor news the day before christmas #that feels borderline cartoonish.#spartacus tag #drawing tag

Shen Yuan getting transported into pidw isn't "the system punishing him for being a lazy internet hater," but instead representative of "step 1 of the creative process: getting so mad at something you decide to go write your own fucking book" in this essay I will

#svsss #scum villian self saving system #shen qingqiu #shen yuan #the fact that people think scum villain #-a series that examines and criticizes common tropes in fiction-#is somehow against criticism or being a little hater is wild to me #especially since shen qingqiu never gets punished for being a hater #heck- he's still a little hater by the end of the series #he mostly gets punished for treating life like a play and like he and the people around him are characters #(or in other words- he suffers for denying his own wants and emotions and his own sense of empathy)#I think some of y'all underestimate how much writing/art is inspired by creaters being little haters #like example off the top of my head-#the author of Iron Widow has been pretty vocal about the book being inspired by their hatred of Darling in the Franxx #I think my interpretation of Shen Yuan's transmigration is also supported by the fact that this series is an examines writing processes #side note- though i understand why people say Shen Yuan is lazy and think its a valid take it still doesnt sit right with me #i am probably biased because my own experiences with chronic pain and depression and isolation #but ya- i dont think Shen Yuan is lazy so much as he is deeply lonely and feels purposeless after denying parts of himself for 20ish years #like yall remember the online fandom boom from covid right?#being stuck completely alone in bed while feeling like shit for 20 days straight does shit to your brain #the fact that no one came to check on him + he wasn't exactly upset about leaving anyone behind supports the isolation interpretation too #+in the skinner demon arc he describes his life of being a faker/inability to stop being a faker now that he's Shen Qingqiu #as “so bland he's tempted to throw salt on himself” and “all he could do is lay around and wait for death” (<-paraphrasing)#bro wants to be doing stuff but is stuck in paralysis from repeatedly following scrips made by other people #another point on “Shen Yuan isn’t lazy” is just the sheer amount of studying that man does #also he did graduate college- how lazy can he really be #he doesnt know what hes doing but he at least tries to actively train his students #and he actually works on improving his own cultivation + spends quite a bit of time preping the mushroom body thing #+he's experiencing bouts of debilitating chronic pain throughout all this #but ya tldr: Shen Yuan's transmigration is an encouragement to write and not a punishment and also i dont think its fair to call him lazy
