Y’all ever think about the inherent beauty of human creation and how it has evolved with science and technology?
Cause I do. A LOT.
Like, thousands of years ago humanity was drawing images of our prey and daily lives on the walls of caves and now we have entire hobbies desicated to exploring digital realms concocted from a plethora of minds and in soaces that our ancestors could not concieve we control little pieces of art and craft stories through electricity and connect with the world over myths and fantasy all told from crystalized screens.
And we’re evolving even further, so what will art forms look like in even longer years? Will we see new art forms never before concieved emerge? Years ago VR was but a sci-fi dream and even further I dont think those who built every stone of Rome’s foundation could ever imagine our art being shared across the world through thousands of computers and tech exploding across the world.
And isnt that so Beautiful?
There are art forms so far in our future that we cannot even begin to imagine them and I cant wait to discover what they are from beyond time itself
#ramblings#yeah…..#humanity is so fucking neat#art#video games are an art form#everything is an art form#humanity was made to create#and its facinating to behold

"While it could use its psychic abilities in battle, this Pokémon prefers to swing its powerful arms around to beat opponents into submission."
#reuniclus#shiny reuniclus#pokemon#i think everyday about how this guy is so happy to have arms#meanwhile its counterpart gothitelle has to wrestle with the mortality of everything it loves#how many trainers do you think got sent to the hospital by a giant crushing hug once their duosion evolved#i like to think that while no network is created because humans aren't made like them they still enjoy holding hands with their trainers#this guy is so silly i love it cos it evolved arms to hug you back#i think it's one of the pokemon evolutionary lines i could reasonably have as a pet#reuniclus has an unimpressive 65 base attack but this doesn't stop it from beating things up and enjoying it what an icon

This Twitter MLP human redesign drama is a mess, leave me the fuck out of it.
#saw people posting my designs to put down other artists' designs saying that i'm the “correct way” of doing things#don't do that#i don't give a SHIT if people are redesigning these HORSES to be fat or “”“ugly”“” people they're all valid#this whole thing is so dumb just say “i don't like the art style” and move on#“hey op i spent 4 hours of time and effort to redraw your shitty redesign and show you how it's really done” you're fucking weird#you know that right? dedicating that much time to cash in on a hate trend when you could be creating something unique and original with lov#your insistence that human redesigns need to be attractive and symmetrical and anything deviating that is woke psy-op brainwashing#is fucking weird. saw an entire tweet reposting my designs listing off how i “got it right.” bullet point: “looks like real people”#the black fat pinkie design with braces that went viral looks more like a real person than any of my designs you asshole#or maybe you spent too much time in high school bullying people who look like that to notice#personal#delete later#do not use my art to belittle artists who've done nothing wrong this legit made me really angry today

mommy let you use her ipad, you were barely two
and it did all the things we designed it to do
now look at you, look at you!
(objectober 2024 day 10: internet)
#dandy's doodles#inanimate insanity#ii#ii steve cobs#ii mephone#ii spoilers#ii 16 spoilers#objectober#objectober 2024#okay i'll be honest. the final drawing barely fits the prompt#however! it was inspired by it#'internet' immediately made me think of 'welcome to the internet' by bo burnham#and my mind instantly jumped to 'and it did all the things we designed it to do'#and y'know... steve cobs designed mephone to be able to create things#and so in a way mephone is fulfilling his purpose by creating the contestants#he's fulfilling his purpose by doing what his dad did#and then that made me think of the garden of eden story#where god creates both adam and the tree of knowledge#he tells adam not to eat its fruit and yet adam inevitably does; thus adam gains free will#and one has to wonder if that was god's intention all along - for humans to have free will#whereby adam - through the apparent defiance of god - is able to become exactly what he was created for#and y'know... mephone making his show as a rebellion against cobs...#only for that very show to be a creation borne of his intended purpose#so yeah. my mind jumped from bo burnham to the biblical creation of man#anyway!! very very happy with how this turned out#my favorite part is the charger snakes. i'm so glad i came up with that idea#also cobs' arm! that turned out really well! i referenced my own hand for his!!#in any event... it turns out i really really like biblical imagery and symbolism huh#also yes i did stay up all night like a maniac drawing this. the idea came to me and i just had to see it through :D i'm glad i did

hi, vapor trails are a kind of cloud, have a nice day .)
#under the sun with kai#something about it is very inspiring. if vapor trails can be accepted into the cloud family then so can i find my place among people :')#this escaped containment so let me clarify: i am putting aside the airways' impact on the climate#i myself have only flown twice in my life and honestly cant fathom the number of planes crossing the sky every day#BUT there is something so lovely and human about vapor trails finding their place in cloud classification#something people invented to describe phenomena that occur in the sky -- but not just the natural ones#i think the word is 'homogenitus' -- created by humans. the one thing that sets it apart from just normal cirrus clouds!!#we made words to reflect nature but we also found we'd have to reflect ourselves!! and we did!! our words were sufficiently open & vast to#entertain the thought!!! ah. words. ah. people. 💛

The thing that gets me about history and humanity is that you never know what is immortalized, and the things that will be immortalized are things you would never think.
I saw a person sharing a new tattoo, and it was one of Onfim's drawings. A boy who lived so long ago he is barely a blip now, but his drawings meant so much to people that somebody is now permanently marked in their skin with one of those drawings. Do you ever look at the things you make and just sit there and wonder if this is the thing that future people look at? Do you ever look at your art, your writing, your schoolwork, or anything that is yours and just wonder who will find it, who will fall in love with a piece of your humanity and become overwhelmed with emotion over? It's not unlikely. It's not totally unlikely that somebody will find a piece of you in the distant future and devoid of any other context of who you were will still love you because you were here. You were here, and you are still here, even hundreds or thousands of years later. Treat yourself with the same love that so many have for dear Onfim.
#positivity#gentle reminders#if anybody has ancient children's drawings beside onfim let me know they melt my heart#i have always wanted a tattoo of that kind of thing too and i want ideas#see if archeologists dig me up or whomever else they won't find significant tattoos or other things. they will see i have loss.jpeg on me#and i think that's just as important. these people must know that people are silly and weird and don't make sense and that's IMPORTANT#i'm just. so obsessed with this because it's instantly humanizing#what little child hasn't drawn humans with twelve fingers per hand#or those kids drawings where it's only a torso/head conglomerate with stick legs and hands#i just really lived seeing how their tattoo turned out because i wasn't sure if it would look good in ink and skin#i feel the same way about archiving the internet. i was looking for the written crochet pattern for something#and the person who wrote and created it passed away and their blog has been scrubbed#their blog only exists on the archives. their pattern is only accessible on youtube because somebody made a video tutorial with the pattern#it's an eerie feeling. they've been gone for two years but their blog has been tethered by the wayback machine

Found an old design I made of star boy back when everyone was rewriting the movie Wish lol
Went with both their true form, as well as a human form to blend in on earth. Anyway I like this guy so theyre mine now :)👍
#thought it’d be fun to use blues for the star colors rather than yellow#both to enhance the cosmic feel but to also create a contrast w the human appearance which is much warmer#blue stars are hotter than yellow stars right? so it feels fitting#I feel like this ver of star could very easily develop a wish on their own to be a fully actualized person on earth#rather than being a cosmic entity who can only passively interact w the wish makers#if we go w the idea that each person has an assigned wishing star then this could maybe be Aisha’s star#and she’s never made a wish til now and star boy has been growing restless#I thought it’d be cool if one of the villains was a star coming to earth as well. and the wish granting is to maintain their place on earth#then we could have parallels between our heroes and villains. the human wishing to keep their star w them#idk man. I’m trying to work w you movie#anyway rewrite lore is done for now lol#wish movie#……….although I’m stealing this design from it so uhhh#w1lmutt’s ocs

Kingdom Hearts 3 - Monstropolis
#kingdom hearts 3#kh3#monstropolis#scenery#my gif#this factory is enormous and i'm impressed by how much of it we're able to explore since a lot of these locations aren't even in the movie#monsters in this world profit off of collecting childrens' fear; sadness; and misery and i think integrating-#those negative emotions into the recreation of vanitas was soooo clever#even if they did manage to get rid of him in such a comedic manner lol. makes sense sense that it took place on the laugh floor i suppose#but it's always good to see aspects of a disney world create an impact on the story and have its inclusion feel more meaningful#also it's nice to see the unversed again#on another note#sora donald and goofy's monster designs are fun and i'm glad we got to see them look so drastically different#i'd be so sad if instead they had sora stay as his human self and made him wander through a door into the monster world#without letting him be a Creature

remember, good omens fandom:
the idea of a creator disappointing us isn't new.
it hurts, for sure, to realize the one who created something we love may actually be shittier than we thought. that while we trusted them to play their unknowable games ("wait and see...") they were in fact at best as flawed as anyone else and at worst a mf predator.
maybe we find it hard to trust that creator ever again.
but that's okay. because honestly, the creation doesn't belong to them anymore. it hasn't for a while.
what they created belongs to earth.
#i know we tend to link neilman with crowley but tbh the god metaphor is way stronger#good omens is ours just like aziracrow is humanity's#too much time has passed for neilman or god to have full custody still#they've gone native#neil gaiman#neil gaiman allegations#good omens#go#aziracrow#ineffable husbands#ineffable fandom#also. on a similar note:#if crowley can still love humans & earth even though god made them#you can still love this story even though neilman was part of making it#like no matter how it all plays out#it's not that different from loving the world regardless of whether the god that created it is just fallable or downright cruel

Unironically think that each of the bros (+April) don’t actually get how impressive their feats really are so they just do what they do and on the off chance someone comments on those feats they all react like:
#rottmnt#tmnt#rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles#no but really#I love thinking that they’re actually way more prideful about the stuff that does not even hold a candle to their other feats#like yeah Mikey can open a hole in the space time continuum but that’s nothing have you TRIED his manicotti??#yeah Leo has outsmarted multiple incredibly intelligent and capable people AND knows how to rewire AI but eh did you hear his one liners?#donnie accidentally made regular animatronics sentient but that was an oopsie check out his super cool hammer instead#raph was able to fake his own death to save the entirety of New York and then be the one to bring about his brothers’ inner powers-#but forget about that did you know he can punch like a BOSS?#and April can survive and THRIVE against a demonic suit of armor alongside literal weapons of destruction as a regular human-#but her crane license is where it’s really at#(not to mention all the other secondary talents and skills these kids all just sorta have like - they are VERY CAPABLE)#honorable mentions in this regard go moments like#donnie ordering around an entire legion of woodland critters to create a woodsy tech paradise#or Leo being able to avoid an entire crowd’s blind spots in plain sight#and also being able to hold a pose without moving a millimeter while covered in paint and being transported no I’m NOT OVER THAT#Mikey casually being ridiculously strong and also knowledgeable enough about building to help Donnie make the puppy paradise for Todd#Raph literally led an entire group of hardened criminals like that entire episode was just#basically they’re all so capable????#and at the same time prone to wiping out at the most inopportune of moments#love them sm

when the god was made in the image of a man who infiltrated the mind of said god and in doing so made himself intertwined with the form that god took while also being the cause of that form creating a infinite feedback loop of what caused the god and his creator to evoke the very image of the death the creator feared through the form of an animal representing that concept, and the god has faint, undeniably human characteristics given to him by his creator while his creator retained none of it. fuck
#slay the princess#quiet is absolutely a corvid in draconic packaging#but theres traits of him that cannot be detached from his construction to aid humanity#his hands and arms in particular. and his uncomfortably human teeth but mostly his hands and arms#bc his hands are very birdlike yes but the general anatomy is completely detached from anything that could be described#as avian or draconic#whereas the narrators almost completely played straight as a crow but with teeth#and its so specific and maybe im reading too much into it#but his teeth are extremely NOT human-like#the narrator is extremely not human even though he once was#did he give his humanity up in creation of the long quiet and the shifting mound?#in his last moments before he became countless echos did he put all of the humanity he had and give it to them#in order to make the long quiet understanding of the concept of mortality in an attempt to sway him on slaying the princess#and in order to make the princess capable of death just as humans are?#was it his own plot to save humanity through the creation of gods that he stripped himself of his own humanity and handed it to said gods#making them resemble living mortal humans far more than he ever could after he gave it to them?#was the gift of humanity that he gave the concept of reality in two distinct ways the exact reason why his plan failed?#why his giving of that gift came back to destroy the construct he created?#that in deciding it to be his duty to act effectively as a mortal god he gave up his own humanity#and made two gods that were more human than him?#anyway narrators got sharp teeth and is a bird except humanity is mentioned. so this man became a bird. metaphorically. after playing god#sorry you tried to destroy death and your creation and you too became symbols of it!#its only symbolically satisfying and fitting i hope you understand

#This is a design I made in honor of Warum. Warum is a song about Kaito being a “monster” created by a human scientist.#The scientist abandons him and he is left unloved and shunned by society for being an ugly living being#(XD okay I can’t draw Kaito and make him ugly I simply can’t XD sorry guys! XD he is so adorkable).#Towards the end of the song Kaito gets his revenge on the scientist by tearing him apart#and putting him back together again as a living monster just like himself.#I love this song and if you decide to listen to it mane sure to watch the cosplay music video to it.#Kaito#vocaloid#my art#original design#fanart

Detroit Become Human and why does this game decide that the problem in society is individual people treating androids poorly because those androids are choking them out of the workforce and NOT the corporations and governments who deliberately designed the androids to do this
#AUGHHGHH#I promise you dbh is still one of my favourite games I really do#But ohhhhhhhjghh my GODDDD it makes me mad#Like ESPECIALLY this year. With artists and writers being so fucked by ai#Like the game has less than no sympathy for people who were screwed over by cyberlife deciding their labour wasn't worth anything#Like everybody has to be a strawman. Everybody has to be the violent 'android bad because (some vague reason that draws on the#'immigrants are stealing our jobs' line despite the fact that these things aren't equivalent at all)#Like yes. Robots being placed in positions where a real human would be paid a real wage to do that job is bad. This is a bad thing#But the game. Does not CARE#It's so morally neutral for cyberlife to be allowed to mass produce androids in the middle of a poverty epidemic that they created#It's fine! Says Detroit Become Human because everyone rendered homeless or struggling by this company's actions is a violent drug addict#Or something#It's like HUH#H U H#This game was so enamoured with it's weird bad civil rights allegory that it forgot that people do actually need jobs to uh. Pay to live#Because things are hell#And I think it could've been SO much better if the game acknowledged this AS WELL as acknowledging that no android chose this#Like a fresh deviant didn't ask to cause a real person to not have a job. The company who made them did#But dbh doesn't care. Cyberlife is morally neutral in this. I swear#Loses my mind this game is such a mess#Uhhh if anyone's reading this please don't get mad at me I promise I do really love this game. Like this game is the reason I#Met the love of my life. I am physically incapable of hating this game#I just think it's so worth discussing the ways it fails in (what I think is) a constructive manner#detroit become human#game analysis#I guess#If anyone has any contributions or disagrees with me I would LOVE love to hear. Genuinely I love talking about things like this#Essay in tags

I've been dabbling in a project, mostly world building and not actual fic because my brain is a strange creature, but I have decided that in my interpretation of the PJO universe, Athena is ... well a strategist in all things.
Including the creation of her children.
The way I'm envisioning it, creating a child from her own mind isn't really a task she undertakes casually.
Yes, she does it occasionally as a "gift" to a mortal whose mind she admires. There's no romantic or sexual relationship, but it's an intense, consuming relationship all the same.
Children born for that reason (or for just that reason) are rare though. Athena might have many favorites, but she's also proud. Who deserves a child entirely crafted by a Goddess? Only the few.
I think, in a normal decade, the number of Athena campers is actually on the lower end compared to most of the other Olympians.
None of the Campers outside of Athena's own children every really figure it out, and Chiron, who knows, would sooner die than tell them.
But when there are many children of Athena, like there are in Annabeth's childhood, it's a sign that something strange or terrible is coming.
Athena is a strategist, the right hand of Zeus, his favorite child, the one who forsees and attempts to dismantle threats to Olympians' power. She moves the pieces into place without hesitation or sentimentality.
And the easiest pieces to control, of course, would be her own children.
Other demigods have other immortal parents to listen to, no matter how strong their desire for victory or their inherent cunning. Her own children are fragments of her own mind- much more reliable. Much easier to predict.
And if in the years leading up to whatever disturbance she forsees she chooses mortal parents for her children with calculation, with an eye for the skill sets and temperaments she predicts most needing in the dark times ahead...well, the child and their parent should be honored by her forethought.
It isn't even that she has no affection for the parent or child, in so much as she is capable of affection. But Athena is always, always three steps ahead, and her actions always have intent. Her children are no different.
A demigod, ultimately, is a weapon in the hands of the gods. It's best that the ones she chooses are well-crafted.
#i genuinely think that Athena loves Annabeth in as much as she is able#but that love pales in comparison to the human need of it#and it isn't a compassionate love#a fic I read at some point had a line about Gods not understanding their children would rather live in obscurity than die for glory-Kleos#because they literally cannot comprehend a life so short except in the opportunity to create an immortal name and honor their godly parent#Athena is like that I think#Annabeth is both her great pride and her great disappointment#and in the end Athena will use any of her children as she sees fit#demigods are made as the weapons of the gods and as vessels for their will in the mortal world#athena#pjo#percy Jackson#annabeth chase#this is totally my own headcanon#its probably darker than rick intended and if you come up with a textual argument against it I won't argue#but it clicks just right in my brain#this might also be part of the reason Minerva has no children among the Romans#not just because of her oath of virginity but also because they stripped Minerva of her aspect of battlefield strategy

i feel like based on his only environment (the fazbear frights attraction), springtrap would just 'think' someone placed horror/halloween decorations in him when he saw himself without his mask/head. like the only place he knows is decorated to hell, he cant remember anything about his person (or that he was/is one) or past, all he knows is that this is his place, there's tacky horror decor everywhere and he's somehow part of it- he knows nothing more, so the only dots he could potentially connect are these. bro thinks he is party city.
oh my fucking god you're a genius
#FUCK. PARTY CITY IS GOING TO KILL ME#he finds a halloween skeleton and he's like. holy shit. it's all coming together now#this is gonna cycle back to how the four og animatronics think humans are endoskeletons. head in my hands. god help me#the guy who orchestrated and created these robots and sealed the bodies within them. having the same fate of death in the suit#he made this world and now he's a part of it#GRABS YOU BY THE SHOULDERS#HE IS PARTY CITY#ask#fnaf#springtrap
