As cameras becomes more normalized (Sarah Bernhardt 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 cameras 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 manufacturing companies. I paint not because I want a painting but because I love the process of painting. So even in a future where everyoneā€™s accepted it, Iā€™m never gonna sway on this.
if i have to explain to you that using a camera to take a picture is not the same as using generative ai to generate an image then you are a fucking moron.
#ask me#anon#no more patience for this#i've heard this for the past 2 years#ā€œan object created and controlled by companiesā€ anon the company cannot barge into your home and take your camera away#or randomly change how it works on a whim. you OWN the camera that's the whole POINT#the entire point of a camera is that i can control it and my body to produce art. photography is one of the most PHYSICAL forms of artmakin#you have to communicate with your space and subjects and be conscious of your position in a physical world.#that's what makes a camera a tool. generative ai (if used wholesale) is not a tool because it's not an implement that helps you#do a task. it just does the task for you. you wouldn't call a microwave a ā€œtoolā€#but most importantly a camera captures a REPRESENTATION of reality. it captures a specific irreproducible moment and all its data#read Roland Barthes: Studium & Punctum#generative ai creates an algorithmic IMITATION of reality. it isn't truth. it's the average of truths.#while conceptually that's interesting (if we wanna get into media theory) but that alone should tell you why a camera and ai aren't the sam#ai is incomparable to all previous mediums of art because no medium has ever solely relied on generative automation for its creation#no medium of art has also been so thoroughly constructed to be merged into online digital surveillance capitalism#so reliant on the collection and commodification of personal information for production#if you think using a camera is ā€œautomationā€ you have worms in your brain and you need to see a doctor#if you continue to deny that ai is an apparatus of tech capitalism and is being weaponized against you the consumer you're delusional#the fact that SO many tumblr lefists are ready to defend ai while talking about smashing the surveillance state is baffling to me#and their defense is always ā€œwell i don't engage in systems that would make me vulnerable to ai so if you own an apple phone that's on youā€#you aren't a communist you're just self-centered

Trolls Cookbook Text
Tumblr media
Troll Slaw
Ingredients
-9 Trolls, shredded -2 pounds of green cabbage -1 Teaspoon Caraway seeds -3 cups of mayonnaise -2 tablespoons white vinegar -1 clove garlic, minced -1 teaspoon dijon mustard -2 carrots, grated (1 cup)
Directions
In a large bowl, toss Trolls with 1 tbsp salt. Cover with ice water, refrigerate for 1 hour. This will preserve their color.
Drain the chilled Trolls, then squeeze in a towel to absorb any excess moisture. While simple, this is the most important step. The dressing will coat much better to a dry Troll.
Return to the large bowl. Stir in carrots and toasted caraway seeds. Add dressing and stir well.
Filet of Troll
Ingredients
-1/2 lbs filet of Trolls, trimmed and tied -5 tablespoons unsalted butter -1 tbsp salt -1 tbsp pepper
Directions
Preheat the oven to 451 degrees F. Place the Trolls on a sheet pan and pat them down. Use your hands to spread the butter over them. If they laugh, don't be alarmed. Trolls are ticklish by nature. Sprinkle the sale and pepper, evenly.
Roast in the oven for exactly 24 minutes. Remove the trolls from the oven, cover them tightly with aluminum foil, and allow them to rest at room temperature for 20 minutes. Remove the strings and slice the filet of trolls thickly.

Beef Trollganoff
Directions
Slice trolls against the grain into 1 inch strips. Trolls may lose color when you begin slicing. This is normal.
Cook Trolls using same skillet until brown. Heat to boil; reduce heat. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes. Stir into Troll mixture. Serve over noodles. Enjoy!
Ingredients
-1 1/2 pounds Troll -8 ounces day-old mushrooms, sliced -2 medium onions, thinly sliced -1/4 cups margarine -1 1/2 cups Troll-flavored broth -1/4 teaspoon salt -1 teaspoon worcestershire sauce -1/2 cup all purpose flour -1 1/2 cups sour cream -3 cups cooked egg noodles
Spicy Tuna Troll
Ingredients -5 cups sushi rice -2 sheets dry seaweed -3 tbsp white sesame seeds -4 lbs sushi-grade Trolls -1 cup mayonnaise -1/4 tbsp of dry chili pepper
Directions
Chop trolls and mix with mayonnaise and chili-pepper. Put a sheet of seaweed on a mat. Spread a portion of rice on top of the sheet. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top of the sushi rice. Please a portion of troll mixture lengthwise on the rice. Roll the mat, pressing forward to shape the sushi into a cylinder. Firmly press the mat and remove it from the sushi.
Cut the rolls into bite size pieces. Enjoy!
Tumblr media
Jellied Cassetroll
Ingredients
-1 box of gelatin mix -12-17 Trolls -16 oz of sour cream -8 oz whipped topping -2 cups boiling water
Directions
Dissolve gelatin mixture in boiling water for 2 minutes. Add Trolls, chopped. Blend mixture with a hand mixer until the Trolls and gelatin have adequately mixed. Place in the fridge for 2-3 hours or until the gelatin mixture sets half way.
Lightly fold in the sour cream and whipped topping. Pour the entire mixture into a mold of your choice. This is where you get creative! Troll Hair molds, Trollstice molds, a mold for every occasion!
Fruity Troll Roll
Directions
Mix all the ingredients except chocolate in a large bowl. Stir thoroughly and place on a foil covered tray. Refrigerate until needed.
Form into two logs, using greased hands. If Troll hair protrudes from log, don't worry. This is great for presentation and adds a bit of color to the dish!
Melt chocolate while logs chill. Once melted, pour over logs. You may notice a few shouts or screams when you begin pouring the chocolate. This lets you know the chocolate is the perfect temperature! Chill the logs in the fridge.
Slice with a serrated knife to serve.

Old Farmer's says, by frost and moon, that seeds start to go in the ground today. So kale, Swiss Chard, peas, and radishes are planted and I moved my tubs from the shady West corner to the main plot ready for potatoes if i so decide or to wait for squash and tomatoes

Eating scrambled eggs. There is an old yellow paint splatter on my skirt I keep seeing out the corner of my eye. I keep thinking Iā€™ve dropped eggs. Clearly I need more coffee.

he wrote all those positive reviews himself btw
Yes all 3k reviews are his own under different user names. Before the siege, he tricks all of Eregion into writing positive reviews as well. Celebrimbor writes coded calls for help into his with 'randomly' capitalized letters:
"annatar is Honestly thE greatest Local deity Iā€™ve had the Pleasure of working with. truly outstanding in his craft and abilities, he is incredibly patient with me and pushes My craft to hEights I have never reached before. i would Gladly work together wIth him again. heā€™s also very Lovely and gorgeous!"

Suffering because I finally got some time to write and then I spent two hours editing the first chapter I had already posted because I reread it to get myself back in the zone and then realized that posting the first draft half a year ago to the public and then not looking at it again until now was a mistake.
The good news is I'd had plenty of time to edit the plot beforehand, I didn't have to change squat around, but boy was some of the wording awkward as fuck. Also I added a little extra to people who already seemed to like it, as a treat.
Stay tuned for chapter two of Show Me How to Lie (You're Getting Better All The Time) hopefully coming soon now that I'm done with that shit. I'm honestly pretty excited about it, I worldbuilt the entire parallel universe evil!Superman comes from myself :)

Whenever Steveā€™s dad pulls an asshole move that particularly pisses him off, Steve takes his friends spite shopping with his fatherā€™s credit card
It happens first with Robin when the mall just burned down and Steveā€™s still visibly injured from what went down there and his father is already on him about finding a new job as if he got fired or quit for fun and his job didnā€™t burn down and sure his dad doesnā€™t know the real version of what happened, but he almost died ā€˜in the fireā€™, canā€™t he at least have an inch of breathing room?
But he hasnā€™t cut Steve off yet, heā€™s just threatening to if he doesnā€™t start looking for a new job soon. So Steve picks up Robin and takes her to every store in town still open and buys himself a bunch of shit and keeps asking her what she wants and suggesting stuff for her and when she brushes off one of the things he shows her as way too expensive, Steve tells her heā€™s paying. And Robin looks hesitant, so he adds, ā€œWell, actually, my douche father is. Thatā€™s the whole point of this. So the more expensive the better.ā€ And Robin just studies his face for a moment and then turns and says, ā€œIn that caseā€¦ā€ and just starts grabbing things and they both grin
After this, Robin is a staple in the tradition of spending as much of his fatherā€™s money in one day as possible whenever Steve wants to send a message. The kids also frequently benefit from Steveā€™s random ā€œCome on, weā€™re going shopping. You can get whatever you want. Iā€™m buying.ā€
They donā€™t know why Steve sometimes just randomly decides to spoil them all and they donā€™t question it. Obviously he can afford it. At first, they try to just get a few things but then Steve starts shoving more at them and asking if they want it, so they start trying to push the limits of what they can get, but it becomes very clear very fast that Steve has no limit for what heā€™ll buy for them when heā€™s in this mood
Steveā€™s father hasnā€™t acknowledged Steveā€™s rage spending once. Steve knows thatā€™s probably a good thing, but at the same time it annoys the hell out of him that he doesnā€™t know if his father even notices or cares. And thatā€™s why the scale of his spending goes up every time

Obsessed with Alya saying "it's okay, Ladybug and Cat Noir will take care of it" about a spaceship malfunction as if 1) that is in any way Ladybug and Cat Noir's domain, and 2) space programs don't have people already in place to take care of things that go wrong. Even more obsessed with the fact that Ladybug and Cat Noir DID take care of it
