Hey so I need some more audience help for the Big Project I’m doing for my big final exhibition for my course. (Absolutely detest the way this project is being ran, it’s aimless, doesn’t make any sense, we’re not really allowed to have anything for a final in mind at this stage which is insane because it’s been running for like 5 months already, I’m ready to explode, But I Digress).

So far my project is called Tender Comrade(?) which will be a selection of illustrations/designs of some sort (as wearables? Prints? As a physical scene? Who Knows atp) that both showcases a complicated and forgotten period of LGBTQ+ history during the 20th century and subverts traditional military content using LGBTQ+ themes that, today, calls for us to embrace societally perceived feminine behaviours in masculine people and encourages men’s healthier interactions interplaying masculinity and femininity. The exhibition will be near Pride Month as well.

So far, the content is inspired by this moodboard of homoerotic posters (below) of old photography, beefcake magazines, and some mock propaganda posters of my own.

But you can help me out with my presentation tomorrow morning by just answering 8 yes/no questions on this Google Form about being an LGBTQ+ person that will help support the theories behind the project. There is an extra 6 yes/no questions for LGBTQ+ men/masculine presenting people/people who have at any point been persistently perceived masc or male but feel free to answer whatever questions are applicable to your personal experience. Responses are anonymous of course. My lecturer was basically like LGBTQ+ history isn’t relevant enough to make art about so help me prove her wrong!

Thanks for anyone that can help!

I love how Twilight takes Yor on dates every week and shit. His idea of a good husband is such a kind and caring man, which is insane because it's like the 60s men used to just rip chunks out of their wife's brain because she was too sad. He could get away with so much crap and just overall half assimg it, but nah, he is determined not to just be a good husband but the best husband. I don't even think it would matter to Donovan anyways he clearly doesn't care for his wife. Who taught him this?

thank you everyone for your patience! the way i organized the dragon eggs' data was to only count those with specific species listed, not just wider appearances or "dragon/human", as per the prompt. hope to see you all next year o(≧▽≦)o

psychology / media survey

hihihiii!! i know this is sooo random for my account, but a few months back i tried doing an informal survey about people and the psychology behind their connection to their favorite characters. unfortunately it didn't really work out. i decided to make a google form this time and give it another go ^-^

if you'd like to participate, i would seriously appreciate it SO much. it is completely anonymous and purely for me to have fun, totally informal and unofficial. it shouldn't take you more than 5-10 minutes.

here is the link if you're interested in helping a curious gal out!!

*IMPORTANT EDIT: if you ask me a specific question on your form, it will be answered HERE in this post whenever i get to it! thank you!

Alright, let's do this!

There seem to be more and more obviously-AI-generated cross-stitch patterns floating around Etsy nowadays; let's figure out just how many.

I've put together a sorting website that's pre-loaded with 2000 random Etsy patterns; 400 of them were actively listed or relisted this month, 400 are from three months ago, another 400 are from three months before that, etc etc, all the way back to a year ago. If we can identify which of them are AI-generated (or at least, obviously so), it'll be possible to get a rough estimate for what percentage of patterns are AI-produced, and for how that number has changed in recent months.

If you've got a decent eye for AI-generated pictures, I'd love to get your help sorting through them! And if not, watch this space for the results!

Also, if you see a pattern that's particularly interesting, or beautiful, or bizarre, there's also an option to flag those, just for the fun of it. :)

tormenting them

[bmpmp3]

sorry to be a bit of a hater but i do wish youtubers weren't so scared of making their videos just like, "reviews", whys everything gotta be a "video essay" all the time. every day my recommendations are filled with 40 minute videos titled "_____: An Underrated Masterpiece" where the first like five minutes are reading the wikipedia definition of "masterpiece" in a somber voice with dramatic themed text on screen. please just tell me how good or bad you think something is and use the rest of the runtime to explain why. you dont need to put on all these airs

i'm like 90% sure irving is reintegrated. i think that irving has been reintegrated for a while and that's what the goo is. mark's seeing gemma first now that he's reintegrated, the most important part of this to him, and irving's seeing his paint. also thanks to this episode we know that reintegration takes some time, at least for innies. we only saw the effects of reintegration from petey's point of view when he was in the outside world, so it's entirely possible that reintegration is different for innies and outies at the beginning.

also we don't know how outie irving knows what the testing floor elevator looks like. innie irving doesn't even know what it is so where did he get this info? my guess is that he failed the input survey (since we know that theres a perfect score for it), got sent down to the testing floor to get his memory fixed, and then when he reintegrated those memories came back with it.
