at some point it's just like. do they even fucking like the thing they're asking AI to make? "oh we'll just use AI for all the scripts" "we'll just use AI for art" "no worries AI can write this book" "oh, AI could easily design this"

like... it's so clear they've never stood in the middle of an art museum and felt like crying, looking at a piece that somehow cuts into your marrow even though the artist and you are separated by space and time. they've never looked at a poem - once, twice, three times - just because the words feel like a fired gun, something too-close, clanging behind your eyes. they've never gotten to the end of the movie and had to arrive, blinking, back into their body, laughing a little because they were holding their breath without realizing.

"oh AI can mimic style" "AI can mimic emotion" "AI can mimic you and your job is almost gone, kid."

... how do i explain to you - you can make AI that does a perfect job of imitating me. you could disseminate it through the entire world and make so much money, using my works and my ideas and my everything.

and i'd still keep writing.

i don't know there's a word for it. in high school, we become aware that the way we feel about our artform is a cliche - it's like breathing. over and over, artists all feel the same thing. "i write because i need to" and "my music is how i speak" and "i make art because it's either that or i stop existing." it is such a common experience, the violence and immediacy we mean behind it is like breathing to me - comes out like a useless understatement. it's a cliche because we all feel it, not because the experience isn't actually persistent. so many of us have this ... fluttering urgency behind our ribs.

i'm not doing it for the money. for a star on the ground in some city i've never visited. i am doing it because when i was seven i started taking notebooks with me on walks. i am doing it because in second grade i wrote a poem and stood up in front of my whole class to read it out while i shook with nerves. i am doing it because i spent high school scribbling all my feelings down. i am doing it for the 16 year old me and the 18 year old me and the today-me, how we can never put the pen down. you can take me down to a subatomic layer, eviscerate me - and never find the source of it; it is of me. when i was 19 i named this blog inkskinned because i was dramatic and lonely and it felt like the only thing that was actually permanently-true about me was that this is what is inside of me, that the words come up over everything, coat everything, bloom their little twilight arias into every nook and corner and alley

"we're gonna replace you". that is okay. you think that i am writing to fill a space. that someone said JOB OPENING: Writer Needed, and i wrote to answer. you think one raindrop replaces another, and i think they're both just falling. you think art has a place, that is simply arrives on walls when it is needed, that is only ever on demand, perfect, easily requested. you see "audience spending" and "marketability" and "multi-line merch opportunity"

and i see a kid drowning. i am writing to make her a boat. i am writing because what used to be a river raft has long become a fully-rigged ship. i am writing because you can fucking rip this out of my cold dead clammy hands and i will still come back as a ghost and i will still be penning poems about it.

it isn't even love. the word we use the most i think is "passion". devotion, obsession, necessity. my favorite little fact about the magic of artists - "abracadabra" means i create as i speak. we make because it sluices out of us. because we look down and our hands are somehow already busy. because it was the first thing we knew and it is our backbone and heartbreak and everything. because we have given up well-paying jobs and a "real life" and the approval of our parents. we create because - the cliche again. it's like breathing. we create because we must.

you create because you're greedy.

#every time someones like ''AI will replace u" im like. u will have to fucking KILL ME #there is no replacement here bc i am not filling a position. i am just writing #and the writing is what i need to be doing #writeblr #this probably doesn't make sense bc its sooo frustrating i rarely speak it the way i want to #edited for the typo wrote it and then was late to a meeting lol #i love u people who mention my typos genuinely bc i don't always catch them!!!! :) it is doing me a genuine favor!!!#my friend says i should tell you ''thank you beta editors'' but i don't know what that means #i made her promise it isn't a wolf fanfiction thing. so if it IS a wolf thing she is DEAD to me (just kidding i love her)#hey PS PS PS ??? if ur reading this thinking what it's saying is ''i am financially capable of losing this'' ur reading it wrong #i write for free. i always have. i have worked 5-7 jobs at once to make ends meet.#i did not grow up with access or money. i did not grow up with connections or like some kind of excuse #i grew up and worked my fucking ASS OFF. and i STILL!!! wrote!!! on the side!!! because i didn't know how not to!!!#i do not write for money!!!! i write because i fuckken NEED TO #i could be in the fucking desert i could be in the fuckken tundra i could be in total darkness #and i would still be writing pretentious angsty poetry about it #im not in any way saying it's a good thing. i'm not in any way implying that they're NOT tryna kill us #i'm saying. you could take away our jobs and we could go hungry and we could suffer #and from that suffering (if i know us) we'd still fuckin make art.#i would LOVE to be able to make money doing this! i never have been able to. but i don't NEED to. i will find a way to make my life work #even if it means being miserable #but i will not give up this thing. for the whole world.

the fritter (frin critter)

#inspo struck right after posting the last two. some kind of a hermit crab. a snail #they think they look all cool and mysterious under their safety shelter but if u remove it they're a disastrous puffball of uncombed fur #the hat is not accurate to an adult human btw. i tried to put them in a full size hat and they were lost forever. this is a child sized hat #they need to swap out for bigger hats as they grow #MY FRIENDS WROTE AND DREW SO MUCH FOR THE FRITTER I HOPE THEY CAN REBLOG AND ADD BC THEYRE SO GOOD <3 #we started making a whole au about critter species in the wild and how they interact and survive. very fascinating.#i need to collect all the worldbuilding into one place eventually. rn all i'll say is.. overworked odile petsmart employee (tealgoat's idea #isat critters #isat #in stars and time #isat siffrin #my art #a6se/twohats (this tag only) implication then is that loop is bald i guess aksdks. loop = wild shorthair. fritter = domestic longhair.

"I'm also pretty sure that I wrote some sort of MHA fanfic but i'm choosing to not look at that one for mental health reasons :)"

That killed me.

I have my own handful of cringy attempts of writing fics.

I had this one notebook from three yeaers ago full of strories and the first one that I wrote I remember it as a perciver fic where they were at a bar but i don't remember more and i can't read it.

Like literally I cannot read it because I was obsessed with creating my own language that I made this, the language is from a pinterest post and I just took it and made my own little twist.

Edit: I wrote this like few days ago, i think?, and I forgot to post it

Wait guys, i just remembered that in 5th grade (i was 10) I wrote a george weasley fanfic where the main character was named Jemma and she was the secret daughter of Lily and Snape and she was raised by Snape, but he was nice.😭

I hadn't thought of that in years and I suddenly remembered it. I think I had blocked that out bc it was like a traumatic memory, i have no clue what i was on😃

Anyways I haven't tried to go back and read it, so I won't put the link bc it's probably so bad, but it's on quotev and i'm pretty sure it's called 'The Snape in Slytherin' if any of y'all are brave enough to go read it. Let me know how bad it is if you do bc i don't think i'll be able to. (BTW I DO NOT SUPPORT SNILY- I HAVE NO CLUE WHY IT WAS LIKE THAT)

While I was going to check the name, i found out that I also wrote one called 'The Life of Luna Evans' about Lily's twin sister. Her love interest was James's twin name Leo😭 (might as well have just written Jily fanfic)

I have no clue when i wrote this, i literally have no recollection of it whatsoever. This was 5 years ago and I didn't even realize I had had a marauders phase before the past year

I'm also pretty sure that I wrote some sort of MHA fanfic but i'm choosing to not look at that one for mental health reasons :)

I really shouldn't be sharing this but I can't handle this information on my own, so now y'all get to know.

#i have to talk about this notebook more #because there is some crazy shit in this #i wrote some of them with my friends #and because i didn't want them to think i'm weird #i didn't tell them sbout my obsession with Percy Weasley #so we wrote a flintley fanfiction without them know #it's horrible #instead of marcus his name was Carlos Marco #it's also in Spanish so i might translate them for everyone to laught at it #because it's ridiculus #we thought that being gay was so funny #idk why

pick your battles

#my art #my stuff #art #comic #original art #pride 2024 #pride month #trans allegory..... or not even allegory. just trans .... ^_^#i technically cannot come out yet but i don't think the people who i need to not see this stalk my tumblr #i know they stalk everything else like my twitter and my instagram but this might be safe #so fuck it we yap. this is a comic about picking your battles #this is a comic about how for almost a year now everyone at home in singapore has been crying about my sore throat #my terrible fucked up voice. my you know. etc #i came out as not cis and using they/them pronouns in 2015 when i was 14 #but no one ever used my pronouns. none of my classmates or friends even up until i left for college in 2020 #from 2020 onwards every year i wrote an angry vulnreable essay about how much it hurts that they dont remember #and people would dm me apologizing on their hands and knees and commending my bravery #and then forget about it all over again. id ont mean 'they misgender me and then catch it and apologize and correct themselves'#i mean they dont even get that far #and so you might ask yourself: why have you kept them around all this time?#and i would have to explain that by pure bad luck i grew up in the most conservative close minded community #that all of my ex classmates that stayed in singapore are cishet and upper middle class and chinese singaporean #that i Am the trans person. that they were able to ignore me for a decade partially because there was no one else #so this is a comic about how there is dignity and grace in staying in the closet sometimes #about how not everyone deserves to see you at your happiest. about how some people can go fuck themselves #you know your truth and THATS THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERS!!! YEAH!!! i love you

Every time I think Sasuke’s clear and obvious homosexual obsession with Naruto might be maybe a little one sided, Naruto will do something absolutely insane like walk into his childhood room after two years, grab his dusty picture of Sasuke, gently brush it off, fingers lingering for a moment over Sasuke’s face, and lovingly whisper “Sasuke…I’m home…”

#n-naruto….on god what the hell is wrong with you #SITTING ON HIS BED HOLDING SASUKES PHOTO AND WHISPERING HIS NAME???#H O W does ANYONE watch this fucking show and now IMMEDIATELY clock these two #I’m at the point where I’m starting to think it’s .. just what the author intended #like….who wrote this. and why #I could easily look it up but my fav explanation is ‘person into shonen who had or had a crush on his childhood best friend’#‘and is still working some things out in regards to it’#anyways #I have a theory that this is why classic anime ‘bro’ types don’t like sasuke #they are unable to reckon with the sheer magnetic force of their extremely obvious love for each other #I think it scares them #DOESNT SCARE ME BITCH #NARITO GO GET HIM BACK FROM ORROCHIMARU SO YOU GUYS CAN KISS ITS IMPORTANT #naruto #sasunaru

"I'm not a writer but I've read books on how to write so now I know everything and can tell you you're doing it wrong"

#hold on gotta read all the instructions about playing in the sandbox so I can criticize other kids #hold on gotta read every book about dogs so I can pwn ppl who own dogs #damn I should be writing books about writing so I can take this fool's money #self help books are a rip off unless you're the one who wrote them :D #tangent: my friend hired a ghostwriter to make some cheap self help ebooks for quick cash on Amazon #starting to wonder who I'm friends with tbh #writing advice #og #entitled people

Imagine the Pevensies, returning to Narnia in Prince Caspian, to find everyone they knew and loved is dead. Imagine them rescuing Trumpkin, meeting Caspian, dealing with the Telmarines--being so busy, they have no time to sit and mourn properly. They can only grieve while they walk through silent forests and make their way down strange riverbeds, can only snatch a few minutes before they fall asleep in between days of travel and days of battle to try to make their peace with all they have lost.

Imagine the four of them at that long celebration after the fight has been won. Laughing and feasting along with everyone else, feeling so much joy, and yet they cannot help looking around at it all. Surrounded by dwarfs and fauns, by living trees and talking beasts and dancing waters, by all their dear new friends, they cannot help remembering other celebrations. Other friends. It is all very like it was, once.

And then imagine figures making their way through the crowd to them. One or two at first, but more and more as the night goes on. Tall figures with flowing green hair, brown skin textured with bark, eyes like knotholes.

Some were only saplings, last time. Some bear scars from lightning strikes and beetle attacks. Many have fallen to storm or age, but still, some are there. Still, time has not passed for them as it has for the rest of Narnia. Wading through the earth like water, they do not come to meet the Pevensies, do not come to gape at the kings and queens of legend. They come to greet their old friends.

Trees live a long time, you see.

#the chronicles of narnia #dryads #fanfic #narnia fanfics #prince caspian #pevensie siblings #my fics #nova actually posts stuff #i realized this a while back and it would not leave me alone until i wrote something so. uh #does anyone want any feels about trees tonight #just. the thought of some of the pevensies' old friends coming back to them #i'm not crying you're crying

#MR FUCKIN PLANES HIMSELF FROM GTI!!!! OUR BEST FRIEND #emolga #i dunno if anyone is gonna get that reference but this one time i saw like. a paradise crew askblog on here randomly and the post i happene #to see was someone asking emolga what thing he thought was coolest to hear about from the human world. and he said like #fuckin planes dude how do they work #and i thought that was the most emolga quote ever and i loved it. and it's been bouncing around in my head ever since even though #i don't even know who wrote it. i dunno the askblog or if it even exists anymore #but either way. this is still like the only pmd character with a canon blush sprite besides watchog i think from psmd #everyone knows he eventually rejects virizion for dunsparce. his very obvious crush on dunsparce throughout the whole game #i have so many thoughts about gti it really is the best pmd game. in some senses. gti and also eotds and also smd are all my favorite pmds #that's three out of four of them and no i am not cheating

Alright I'm going feral but let me explain when cannon era Javid hits, you gotta write about it

David dressing Jacks wounds and him pulling back and sucking in a breath, "Jackie you need to hold still."

"It hurts when you do that Dave."

"Well, I gotta clean it, Jack."

Jack rolls his eyes but lets David clean the wound. Jack lets his mind race with feelings as he feels bad for making David worry about him. "I'm sorry." He says quietly

David looks up at him, "Don't be sorry."

"But I can't keep you worrying over me." He bites his lip

"Jack I will never stop worrying about you!" David holds his hand in his "

"No you can't David, I'm not perfect and I can't give you anything back and-"

"Jack stop it! Don't say that about yourself, I don't care that you can't give anything back and I don't care if you're not perfect neither am I or even my parents, I love you, Jack, you gotta know that."

Jack's eyes glisten, "Are you sure?"

David locks eyes with his,"More than sure Jackie, I love you not matter what."

"I love you too," Jack whispers and feels a tear go down his cheek.

David kissed him gently and continued with dressing his wounds. After finishing and putting supplies away David leads Jack to bed and wraps him into a hug while saying "I love you". Jack looks up at him one more time and, "I love you too. Thank you."

"Of course Jackie, anytime."

#look i can explain #also sorry if my writing is weird just words are hard okay #but yeah #javid has me going rn and idk why #its so good tho #i just had some thoughts wrote it down and my friend said i should share #so sure #why not #but them #they can be so good #92sies #1992 newsies #1992sies #newsies 1992 #jack kelly #david jacobs #javid #javid newsies

seeing the way some people on the internet desperately try to find the character who was In The Right or the real victim™ in morally ambiguous stories is soooo wild to me lmao what do you mean you're trying to argue which of the main characters in challengers is most at fault???? they're literally all in the wrong and all in the right at different points in the movie. that's the point!!!!! that's why every scene between them is like a tennis match!!!!! because the person with the upperhand is constantly changing!!!! what do you mean you're watching interview with the vampire and trying to decide which of the lying, manipulative vampires who have done terrible things is the Worst Liar????? the point is they're all lying!!!! at different times and about different things!!!! is it manipulation???? is it misremembering???? who knows that's what makes it interesting!!!!! like i totally get that when you're watching sitcoms or teen dramas or whatever being annoyed at or even hating a character is usually an unintended consequence of sloppy writing or a half-assed storyline. but in stories that are supposed to make you have complicated feelings about a character i'm just like askjdfhashd how are you arguing about this instead of just watching in pure fascination as the characters interact??????????? are you not having the time of your Life watching the plot unfolds????? let the story seduce you, my love, it's okay there's no pop quiz at the end

#mine #sorry this is nothing to do with anything except i was venturing into the twitter search for a lot of shows/movies lately after watching #them and being sooooo confused by some people's reactions #(which like i shouldn't be bc it's twitter lol)#but like my only thought watching challengers was 'this is so *interesting*' for two hours straight #and then i came online and people were like 'uwu tashi was a bitch' 'uwu it was all art's fault' jasdkfh i fear you missed the point friend #and i saw it less with iwtv but now tweets come up on my for you page about it and again it's like arguing about who's the most at fault #and again it's like that's not the point!!!!!!!!! asdjfha #i've seen it with the bear too but in different ways like you know you're *supposed* to be annoyed with carmy in s3 right lmao #anyway this was in my drafts i forgot i wrote it but it's real

Hi guys!! Not dead!! :D

I'm currently away from home because I'm doing art school stuff (I don't know how to say plener in english so just yeah the thing where you go and you paint outside). I've been busy with all the new stuff and I didn't have much time to draw unfortunately but I haven't forgotten about tumblr. And since I'm in another town currently (or rather mountains and fields) I don't have access to digital so I'll post something when I get back.

Also!! It's my birthday today :)
