" 'Would it have been kinder to kill you, before you disabled your governor module?'

I said, 'Yes.'

ART-drone said, 'You know I am not kind.' "

#hi im going to forever be thinking about how mb considers itself this way #how it considers death a mercy if it doesn't have free will #god. GOD #i mean i know it was in A Bad Place during this part but. augh #something about the way ART says that is like... almost comforting?? it feels like it's trying to be comforting in a weird ART way y'know #or.... sad maybe #trying to prescribe human emotions to ART will never work ofc but hey it's how my brain works #jamjams #the murderbot diaries #system collapse spoilers #just in case

“When I first heard it, from a dog trainer who knew her behavioral science, it was a stunning moment. I remember where I was standing, what block of Brooklyn’s streets. It was like holding a piece of polished obsidian in the hand, feeling its weight and irreducibility. And its fathomless blackness. Punishment is reinforcing to the punisher. Of course. It fit the science, and it also fit the hidden memories stored in a deeply buried, rusty lockbox inside me. The people who walked down the street arbitrarily compressing their dogs’ tracheas, to which the poor beasts could only submit in uncomprehending misery; the parents who slapped their crying toddlers for the crime of being tired or hungry: These were not aberrantly malevolent villains. They were not doing what they did because they thought it was right, or even because it worked very well. They were simply caught in the same feedback loop in which all behavior is made. Their spasms of delivering small torments relieved their frustration and gave the impression of momentum toward a solution. Most potently, it immediately stopped the behavior. No matter that the effect probably won’t last: the reinforcer—the silence or the cessation of the annoyance—was exquisitely timed. Now. Boy does that feel good.”

— Melissa Holbrook Pierson, The Secret History of Kindness (2015)

#dog books #this chapter was very sad reading #when you become aware of punishment #and its use and its prevalence #it's hard not to despair #again this is why positive reinforcement feels like absolution #maybe now my eyes are open I can make up for what I did #what I did because it's what everyone does #because it's more acceptable to punish than to do anything else #I've been having so many thoughts about punishment and society and justice #this book was very validating #another great validating moment in my jumbled thoughts #was listening to the You're Wrong About episode on justice #with Amanda Knox #it helped to ease the despair a little

Learning to internalize the message above, but art is in all of our bones. If you feel afraid to create art because it won't be "good enough," it's worth it to explore why you feel that fear. Creating art is one of the basic impulses of people, and if you want to create art, then you absolutely must.

#art #positivity #described images #image description in alt #i'm like 80% sure that's a lynx but i've never seen one irl #i'm going to weld this meme into my brain as i start crochet #maybe i have seen a lynx at the zoo actually. but that's beside the point and i haven't been to a zoo in years (sad!)#the zoos in my state are actually from what i understand VERY high-end and VERY good with their animals #which definitely makes me more willing to support them <3 #i have been informed this is not a lynx btw #IN MY DEFENSE they look similar #thank GD tumblr unlike twitter lets you edit alt text. staff was real af for that (rare compliment i have for staff)

Twins in time au.... Would Fiddleford act as a sort of father figure to Stan? Since Filbrick obviously SUCKED to both Stan and Ford and Fidd is more than definitely missing HIS son, and of course Ford has grown to love him but they're still BROTHERS.. Maybe they could act as the father/son the other is missing?

ABSOLUTELY!!!!

#fidds father instincts kicking when he sees a sad child #don’t worry ford will definetly get chewed out when they get home too #I also think fiddleford has some kind of giant robot project he and Stan work on #maybe he’s building one of Stan’s drawings or something #cutie pies #he sees a lot of value in the way Stan thinks and he thinks his creativity is actually a huge benefit in his and fords studies #my art #ask #gravity falls #twins in time au #fiddleford hadron mcgucket #fiddleford mcgucket #Stan pines #Stanley pines #ford pines #Stanford pines

an older Mia Fey.

rambly thoughts beloww

I couldn't get the idea out of my head, so I made a quick drawing of a 40-50ish Mia.

idk, I was just thinking about how she died so young...and how Maya is already older than her in the current aa timeline :(

I never see people draw her older. I'm sure I'm far from the first, it's just not something I've personally seen yet. I wanted to see a happy older Mia, so I drew that.

The text. I also dont know. It just felt right.

I'm imagining she's visiting Maya in her dreams, and this is what Maya dreams of her looking like. A version of her that got to see Maya and pearl grow up, to be there with Diego, to simply be there for the people she cares about and that care about her.

look. sometimes I just start drawing and don't think too hard about it. sometimes I draw my idea and figure out the context later. It's 9 am and I haven't slept so idek if my sentences sound ok.

#mia fey #mia fey fanart #ace attorney #ace attorney fanart #my art ☆#fanart #mia fey why do you make me sad #maybe I should make a more polished version of this later...probably wont

It saddens me that Helen of SPARTA is mostly known as Helen of TROY. As if she wasn't born, raised, and most likely, died in Sparta. Yes, she was of TROY for a while...But she was able to go back home to where she WANTED TO BE.

(Edit: Hating on Menelaus is illegal)

#makes me sad that when I want to tag her. it goes staight to “Troy” . Hector. Andromache. Priam. etc. are of TROY. she was only for acouple #years compared to that being their HOME. SHE wanted to go to HER home. MEH #idk what a good comparison would be but maybe like going abroad for job/school/etc. for a while. and then coming back home.#Are you now only known for what you did for a short while away from your home when you've spent the rest of your life home otherwise?#helen of troy #greek mythology #tagamemnon #helen of sparta #Mad rambles #shot by odysseus
