#is it because im an artist?

[broomclosetenjoyer]

Thinking about the scene when Irving and Burt meet for the first time. They bond over their shared interest in art and loyalty to the company's values. In retrospect, it makes so much sense yet hurts at the same time.

We find out that Irving Bailiff is an artist, and his appreciation for the aesthetics carries with him inside the office space. Seeing as the only art shown at the Severed floor is to praise Kier and the Eagans, he starts appreciating the values of the company because he connected with the art. It's almost the opposite of what a first time watcher would expect, because the first impression one gets of Irving B is that he's a stickler for the rules, yet it still fits so well.

Burt Goodman's religious beliefs are important enough for him that he gets severed, carrying over that spirituality and trust in higher powers over to the workplace. That is why he takes an interest in the art shown, because it shows the higher powers and mystical narratives behind Lumon. One wouldn't expect him to be Christian because Burt G is the one out of the two who is more willing to bend the rules and interpret them in his own way, but it still fits because one finds out that Burt Goodman is willing to do the same in the outside world.

The fact that Irving B and Burt G are quite the opposite in how their beliefs impacts/are impacted by art is so very fascinating. In the outside world, they couldn't be more different from each other, but on the Severed floor, neither God nor societal issues matter, so falling in love with each other becomes rather inevitable.

As gen-AI becomes more normalized (Chappell Roan 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 gen-AI 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 tech companies. I draw not because I want a drawing but because I love the process of drawing. So even in a future where everyone’s accepted it, I’m never gonna sway on this.

i think we should remind musicians they can absolutely make up little stories for their songs btw. it doesn’t have to be about them at all. you can invent a guy and put him in situations to music. time honoured tradition in fact.

Revelations - Little peek at a longer continuation to my Stan & Bill accidental internet buddies comic!

After the reveal, Stan initially doesn't want to tell Ford his (former) internet best friend was Bill Cipher, because he doesn't want him to worry. Stan later doesn't want to tell Ford because he (and Bill) would rather die.

SEMI CANON TMA DESIGNS FROM THE TTRPG?????? WOAHHHHHHH

[barghest-land]

drawings from paleo expedition to dagestan, done right on the trip. sometimes messy when it was cold and rainy, but i won't correct it. i think it's cool to leave it just the way it was done, and not retouch it after. there will be more drawings later, but those will be done from home
