Lwk I don’t don’t blame jimmy too much for going mad in vol 7 & 8

I would loose my shit too if a hot girl leaves me w/ ptsd, the embodiment of the anti-Christ shows up outside my lawn, and 1/4th of Jesus becomes my robo daughter in the span of two days.

And I’m trying to argue with teenagers but fumbling so bad and my “dead” ex is there watching it all like fml already dude.

Part I:

“Because . . . because . . . she came here with me.”

Part II:

Before I can stop myself, I call out Peeta’s name.

Part III:

I take his hand, holding on tightly, preparing for the cameras, and dreading the moment when I will finally have to let go.

CF:

Part I:

It’s my mockingjay.

Part II:

This is no place for a girl on fire.

Part III:

“Katniss, there is no District Twelve.”

MJ:

Part I:

And his blood as it splatters the tiles.

Part II:

That I’m of more use to her dead than alive.

Part III:

I tell him, “Real.”

AMAZING that Rebels articulated the themes of tcw way better than tcw ever managed. Why is this even still an argument

[secretmellowblog]

The thing is, it’s actually AI people and not artists who really care more about copyright. Artists aren’t nearly as obsessed with ownership as AI users are.

Most people I’ve noticed getting popular with AI art use AI to generate pretty generic images based on familiar concepts/characters in the style of popular artists. This is because AI does better with things it has a lot of images in its dataset to draw from. There are people who do weirder stuff, but this stuff almost never gets popular except as a joke or meme, because it never produces anything that looks like a shiny art station portfolio piece.

But that leads to the question of: why generate this image with Midjourney when it’s such a familiar generic concept that you could find a very similar image with a quick google search? It wouldn’t be exactly what you’re looking for, but Midjourney is also not going to give you exactly what you’re looking for either. If you just want nice imagery and don’t care who owns the art, why not just search the internet for art that definitely already exists?

If you just want “cyberpunk city trending on artstation”, why not go to artstation and look at different people’s concept art for cyberpunk cities? If you want “pretty anime cat girl with pink hair,” why not just search for that? If you want “owl in the style of Piper Thibodeau,” why not look through their owl art? If you want “art of Walter white in a cartoony style,” why not just look at all the millions of pieces of fanart that do exactly that?

There have even been some kerfuffles where the AI takes too influence much from one image that shows up a lot, and accidentally creates an almost-exact copy of a piece of art that already exists. The person who inserted the prompt in the machine, of course, doesn’t notice or care. Even though the “art” they “created” had already existed, and they essentially just did a roundabout internet search to find it.

So the question is like… “why are so many people machine-generating things that already exist?”

And the answer is because people don’t care about finding good imagery, really— they want imagery that is “theirs” and that they “own” in some nebulous way. You can easily find a generic cyberpunk city on artstation, but it’s not your generic cyberpunk city. You can easily find generic paintings of cute anime cat girls anywhere, but they’re not “yours.” You can find cute owls or cartoony breaking bad fanart anywhere but they’re not “yours.” The appeal of AI is not that it can create something new, because it’s bad at creating new things outside its dataset. The appeal is that it can create things that feel like they are “yours.”

The point of AI is not to generate imagery. It’s to file the serial numbers off imagery that already exists.

Who wants to see more Rhage?

JP!Rhea actually makes more sense than Rhage in this scene :

It's not Billy existence that pisses her, it's their choice to "assist" the one who defiled the Holy Tomb and disgraced the fallen Nabatean - someone who assists a person who only sees Nabateans as tools to be weaponised cannot be allowed to "exercise" the power of Sothis, which is why, Rhea will end them to remove "THE" heart - not Billy's, but Sothis' - aka the way through which Billy "exercises" the power of the Progenitor God.

Rhage?

Says that Billy's presence, not their choice, but their existence, defiles the tomb and disgraces the Nabateans - no mention of Supreme Leader here, Rhage rages at u :'(

And the biggest change "take back the heart" to "take back your heart" - no "at the very last" mention, nope. Rhage immediately passes judgment and wants to steal Billy's heart - it's still puzzling for someone who didn't play SS or VW, but imo it feels like it's more meant as a death threat, whereas Rhea is more less thinking out loud how to remove Sothis' power from Billy and how to "make up" for that blunder she did (aka, allowing someone who would make such choices to wield Sothis' powers) "at the very least", removing the crest stone should work, right?

(it always involves Billy's death, but fwiw, Rhea doesn't seem as concerned as Rhage about Billy's death, she wants to recover Sothis' powers more than kill Billy)

"Pat, why Supreme Leader hates them? Is it because they're not humans?"

"N-No, it's because they're monsters! Totally in the biological sense, but also, and trust me on this, through their actions!"

"So it's not because their ears are pointy?"

"Nope!"

Also, joke's on that guy. The only way that could have been more fun is if it was multiple denominations of coins. "Sort giant container of coins into small piles and total up the contents" is one of my favorite activities and part of why I loved closing the register and counting tips at the coffee shop.

Wondering what if we saw Oscar visit Pyrrha’s statue instead in Vol6

If he saw it n thought abt the meek country boy who can barely keep his balance, filling in the space that once held the “invincible girl”, how the responsibilities of a maiden are now thrown onto Oscar in the form of Ozpin’s rencarnation

I think they both had thought abt destiny as much as the other, think those two would’ve gotten along :33

[captainblou]

[unhinged ask] if crowley hadn’t been summoned to hell in 1827, how long would’ve it taken for those two to find a bed?

A bed?

Why a bed?

Crowley was going to bend Aziraphale over a tumbstone in about 5 minutes (or the other way 'round, I can't decide...)

I must own up to my poor choices.

The Temu Super Happy Deluxe dishwasher pods, which I purchased during the Huge Sale of the Season, using two coupons and one online discount code, did not do a good job getting my dishes clean.

Normally I don't pre-rinse or scrub dirty dishes. Why would I buy an appliance that does that if I have to give it a head start? No thanks. KitchenAid, do your damned job.

However, after the last few loads of dishes I found myself touching up plates and bowls before putting them away. That sucks!

To make up for my terrific "savings" I purchased some name brand pods. Specifically, the Louis Vuitton Limited Edition Cascade Ultra Platinum dishwasher pods.

Oh my gosh. It's like I bought a new dishwasher. Everything comes out so clean. I only have six more interest-free payments, but overall I'd say those pods are worth it.

do you think he ever woke up next to her in the middle of the night with his head in his hands

[rabbitoid]

I somehow convinced myself Acheron and Boothill are gonna fight and it would be hella cool and dramatic.

Well that sure didn't happen 🤣

More like local cowboy confused and kinda in over his head. Boothill's still hella cool tho (plz come home,,,)

Note : the artist apologize for butchering the details.
