I will never fucking understand blogs that just post shit from one series or one character or one actor even. Not even reblog, just shamelessly post unsourced shit. Sometimes it's not even related it's just some horseshit like "beautiful celebrities" and they'll take a day to spam stolen photos of one actress before moving on to the next one. Like motherfucker what is the point?
On the most obvious surface level you're not contributing jackshit. You're just regurgitating shit that someone else has already put out there. But then even on the purely braindead selfish level you aren't even effectively creating some personally curated gallery for yourself because your garbage blog can just as easily be replicated with a google image search. It's just a waste of space. Both digital storage and visual real estate. Just more garbage for real people to have to scroll through to get to things they actually want.
I normally reserve the "you're a human being who fails the turing test" insult for things like porn bloggers who only break character to post conservative rants in comment sections, who'd otherwise be entirely indistinguishable from porn bots, but there are completely nonsexually motivated people who do this shit too. Most prominently the kinds of losers who dedicate their entire free time and personality to mediocre pop singers.
Is it OCD? Is it a compulsion? Like you actually can't help but do this shit? Because that at least id almost have some sympathy for, but then I'd also expect a compulsive chronicler to want their shit better sourced and cited, not just tag bombed.
I know we're far past the days of crashing Usenet servers with the kind of primitive pseudo-ddos attacks that gave spam it's name, but it's just insane to me that as the internet has become MORE stringently policed and moderated, spam hasnt just not gone away, and hasn't just scaled with the internet as a whole, it's become The standard model of """content""" distribution/circulation. We don't navigate to an from points of content origin, we just swim through a dense sea of recent reblogs and reposts of shit that's already been out there in a hundred other iterations.
I don't have some kind of a proposed solution, but I just cannot fucking stand this bastardized horseshit version of the internet we've trapped ourselves in...
And I know we love to blame AI art for it right now, and obviously it is contributing to the insane acceleration of the problem, but well before AI art got involved we were already fast approaching the internet being completely unusable.
#and likemdont get me wrong#i participate in this too#but like by necessity#as it is the only way social media works anymore#i try to reblog from actual creators#not chains and not reposts#and i try to only reblog conversations or added comments if they actually add something#but sometimes even thats made impractical because somewhere along the line a post or account got deleted

the world is so fucked up and i can't help but think the damage is irreparable when i see people talking about how unusual and prudish it is to wait six to ten dates before having sex with someone. ten dates??? roughly like twenty five hours of interaction????? ten old timer burgers and mango iced teas from chilis equals sex?????? the possibility of pregnancy, STDs, emotional devastation, lifelong consequences, not to mention just straight up the possibility of getting murdered, with a STRANGER you have hung out with for maybe like two months???? and that's a LONG TIME???? and if you feel weird about that and don't want to do that that makes you NOT HETEROSEXUAL????? THATS AN ORIENTATION???? BECAUSE ITS SO OUTSIDE OF THE NORM OF HUMAN BEHAVIOR ????? i hate all of you i hate you i hate you i hate you every day i hate and I hate and I hate you
#i genuinely genuinely don't understand how everybody who tries to date hasn't killed themselves yet#I'm not saying they should I'm just saying I don't get how they're able to continue on#i see women on social media talking about how they had to cry for a day because they slept with a man they'd been seeing for a while and#then he never called again#no joke not trying to be dramatic I would just kill myself??? i do not understand how people can keep going after something like that#i mean I would never be in that situation because everything about it is bad but like. still#I hate to kind of agree with the 'women over 25 are too bitter for love' twitter man even in a very roundabout way#but i think men AND women participating in modern dating culture have to in some way become so hardened and kill some part of themself#just to survive??? that sounds so melodramatic but like. I can't understand how else people could continue to function as human beings#when they interact with each other in the way modern dating culture dictates

Thinking about better call saul if the action took place in france just because I wanted to see them in cunty robes lmao. More thoughts under the cut!
Obviously the action and the whole premise of bcs/brba wouldn't work in france (legal system aside, the whole cartel and walter white storyline would have to suffer major changes due to social security and the mexican cartel well. not existing here stricto sensu). But let's talk about the real Important Stuff : their names
I think Howard Hamlin would work well as Edouard Hamelin. He looses the cool HH initials yes, but it works really well as a genuine french name imo, and Howard/Edouard are pretty close phonetically
Chuck could still be called Charles without any realism issue, but he'd be nicknamed Charlie rather than Chuck because that's what a french person would go for... nicknames don't work the same, yeah
Kimberly Wexler and James McGill, I have no idea lmao. James when translated becomes Jacques, but it's such a boomerish uncool name that I cannot resolve myself to call my boy like that. It's also one generation too old. Jimmy being born in '60 could technically be called Jacques, but it'd be old-fashioned, as it's a name mostly given to the kids of the decade that came before him. McGill is an irish name, so something funny could be making Jimmy a breton with a funky last name like Gall/LeGall ? That's hilarious to me. But who knows.
Saul Goodman is a pun, so this is even harder for me to conceptualize. Saul's marketing would definitely not work in france at all, as no one would realistically hire a lawyer with a puny name and such chaotic displays (+ I think ads for legal dĂŠmarchage are illegal mind you). However, let's have a crack at it. It would have to be a pun based off an expression similar to "it's all good man", or implying something positive and familiar... I need to think on that one.
#saul goodman#jimmy mcgill#howard hamlin#kim wexler#better call saul#bcs#breaking bad#brba#french au#my art#fanart#please help if you wanna participate to their naming...... im struggling as you can see#what i love about bcs is how deeply american it is but im just imagining this for fun lol. and also for the outfits#cause come on. any profession immediately becomes better with a Special Outfit involved#i should write about the robes too.... i have headcanons about the cast....#so much to say!!!!

i realize i never posted these doodles here.. i plan to draw dipper mabel and abuelita eventually ! but enjoy these for now :^]
#my pines are hispanic and they celebrate dia de muertos with soos and abuelita early so dipper and mabel can participate#bc i personally hc that back home dipper and mabels parents dont really celebrate it#so the stans like to give them the opportunity to reconnect with their heritage more since they cant at home <:)#it also gives the stans a chance to reconnect with their heritage too since they likely weren't thinking about it much in the 30 years apart#especially ford#projection alert#idk this is all very self indulgent#stanford pines#stanley pines#soos ramirez#gravity falls#my art

Inktobertale 2024 Day 5: Camping
Cross doesn't know that the first law of the multiverse is that there's nowhere Ink can't be.
#inktobertale2024#inktobertale#utmv#utau#undertale multiverse#undertale#undertale au#my art#desert art#art tag#ink sans#ink#ink!sans#girlie too busy to do lighting does bootleg lightning (me I'm the girlie)#I really like the idea of a Cross that is so new to the bad sanses gang (and to the multiverse)#he thinks he will not be bumping into any of the 'good guys' outside of battle#he doesn't know Ink comes over to Night's castle to game nights. he's been coming over longer than Cross even knew the multiverse exists#in my vision Ink does the star sanses bit as a friend thing. he's not a full member and he doesn't exactly stand for all of its values#but he does participate ocassionally#not because he doesn't care. but because he cares enough about his friends to take part in a thing that is important to them (fighting evil#so outside of that he really is just doing whatever and being friends with whoever#ok ramble over goodbye#cross sans#cross#killer#killer sans#dust sans#dust#horror sans#horror

Entry for a Lucina zine from last year; I'm still quite fond of the composition!
If interested in leftover sales, please take a look at the project account here ^^
#lucina#fire emblem awakening#fe13#fe awakening#art#illustration#digital art#drawing#wow something that is not FF14#I saw this zine app and wanted to apply even though I don't draw FE anymore because Lucina means so much to me even now#Idk if this is me reaching too far but I think I first started feeling like I was nonbinary when I saw Lucina dressed as Marth#I thought it was SOOOO cool#I still think of it to this day#So thought it would still be appropriate to participate

The idea that uni protesters are "elitist ivy-league rich kids larping as revolutionaries" on Twitter and Reddit and even here is so fucking funny to me if you actually know anything about the student bodies at these unis. Take it from someone who's going to one of the biggest private unis in the US, 80% of the peers I know are either from the suburbs or an apartment somewhere in America, children of immigrants, or here on a student visa. I've heard about one-percenter students, but I've never met one in person. Like, don't get me wrong, the institution as a whole is still very privileged and white. I've talked with friends and classmates about feeling weird or dissonant being here and coming from such a different background. But in my art program, I see BIPOC, disabled, queer, lower-income students and faculty trying to deconstruct and tear that down and make space every day. So to take a cursory glance at a crowd of student protesters in coalitions that are led by BIPOC & 1st/2nd-gen immigrant students and HQ'd in ethnic housings and student organizations and say, "ah. children of the elite." Get real.
#also idk how to tell you this but even if it were true. wealthy children potentially sacrificing their educational careers to protest is#a good thing actually. idk how to tell you that caring about people from other nations is good#personal#âthis war has nothing to do with most students cuz nobody's getting draftedâ idk how to explain to you that we should be angry#that our tuitions of 10s of thousands of dollars that we pay every year for an education is being used to fund a genocidal campaign#also the implication that if you go to a uni institution you are automatically privileged by participation no matter your bg#i didn't /want/ to go to this school. i was supposed to go to a school with an art/animation program. but i realized my immigrant#parents have been working their whole lives to get me here. and turning the opportunity down would be a disservice to their sacrifice#this is getting into convos of âwhat 2nd gen kids owe their parentsâ which is different for everyone but. yeah#i just get pissed off at seeing people misrepresenting student bodies as âwealthyâ and âprivilegedâ and âeliteâ when it's such a blatant li#i remember a year ago a friend told me they can't fly home to hong kong for winter break because the plane tickets are too expensive#so they have to find temporary housing around the area#last quarter for a film doc class my film partner made a doc on a small group of marxist grad students from india discussing praxis#during a rally a few months ago in response to police presence the coalition invited palestinian students to speak about their experiences#and lead songs and read poems they wrote. these are STUDENTS. are they elitist too?#this is not to disregard my own personal privilege either.#this whole narrative's just to rationalize a lack of empathy to me. seeing a 19yo student get shot by a rubber bullet and your first#reaction is âHAW! HAW! bet richy rich didn't see THAT coming when she put on her terrorist hood!â#newsflash. these big uni campuses are HAUNTED by the violence of past protests and revolutions and police brutality. we know.#why do you think these coalitions have been making reinforced barricades at record speed

kind of tragic how dean puts all this responsibility onto himself to be samâs protector, when the truth is sam has never once been safe. the biggest violation in his life happened when he was six months old, and nobody was there to protect him. and nothing anyone did afterwards could ever make up for that fact.
#spn#dean winchester#sam winchester#guys I keep typing and deleting stuff pls send help#I have complicated thoughts about their dynamic but idk how to phase it#thinking thinking#anyways I have to go to work now#also just to be clear dean was a child and he shouldnât have had to feel that way about his brother okay BYE#idk why I keep having sam thoughts and feeling the urge to clarify that deanâs traumas are valid too#this fandom scares me okay I donât want ppl to think Iâm participating in the stupid trauma Olympics
