#same with music

[capricores]

the scorpio urge to over-consume every new thing you love (music: looping the same few songs for weeks on end, food: only eating a specific food all the time OR frequently eating a new craving as your little treat, etc) until you absolutely despise it and cannot stand it anymore <3

Did you know that no story is completely the same any time you read, watch, or play it again? For example, you could have a new perception of the main character, which differs from the idealized version of them that you had the first time. you may choose to empathize less with their actions and feelings, and instead focus your attention on the side characters that you barely perceived the first time. or maybe you notice that the "good" protagonist character is suddenly not as noble as you thought, you were just influenced by the perspective the story is told from. maybe something in your life has happened or changed, and you see some of it reflected in a character that you previously didn't care for. a good example is when you like the villain a lot more as you get older, because you don't believe in pure good and evil anymore.

this is true for other aspects as well, like motives, conversations, metaphors that you previously didn't understand or interpreted differently. I'm sure that's something you were aware of, I just find it really cool to know that because you as a person are subject to change and constantly influenced and adapting, it can have a significant impact on the way you react to a story you have previously read and didn't really get, for example. it could also have the complete opposite effect and you suddenly hate it.

at a certain point in my life i developed this habit of wanting to read or see something a second time, and compare my reactions. sometimes, it not only tells you something new about the story that you missed previously, but it also tells you about yourself, and I think that's part of why I find it so addicting to experience the same story over and over again. Your mind just makes up new connections every time, so it's not necessarily redundant or boring to read/watch something again!

and basically, I'm just repeating what reader-response theory and cognitive literature studies have focused on these last years. it's quite interesting!

To be completely fair to you, many varieties of English don't really distinguish between þ and ð. Everyone will understand you perfectly no matter which you use, and exactly which word is voiced and which is unvoiced will vary from dialect to dialect. In fact, some dialects such as Irish don't use eðier sound!

ðis ask brought to you by many hours of watching jan Misali and other English youtubers interested in linguistics.

Ahahaha, awww, thanks friend. Linguistics IS hella cool.

I love that you have people flying over their ass to defend AI art,

but when you equate that to writing essays or books using AI they suddenly can't read lol

[catmask]

does anyone have like an anti aesthetic. like something you look at and can recognize as a complete fashion/interior design/artistic movement and understand it but it makes you shudder seeing it. i am not talking like “its morally bad” “its poorly structured” like just sheerly devoid of joy for you actually invites a repulse response.

Taylor Swift really wrote an album with the thesis “a man who tells you he loves you and lives together with you in a committed relationship for six years but never ever proposes is essentially the same as a man who tells you he loves you to get you into bed and then ghosts you a couple weeks later”

sad: falling out of a hyperfixation

tragic: watching your beloved friends and mutuals fall out of the hyperfixation while you're still in it

Love your art! What medium do you work in?

thank you! [srsly! ^_^]

I used to paint with traditional media, on canvas paper & murals on walls; now I draw a lot (I post a graphite once a year or so)

most of the stuff I post here is digital, and random - a grab from the middle of some project I'm working on in AfterEffects or other video-transition software. I use some software that I managed to port in from sys9 & just never let go of, processes I wrote in the late 90s & stuff like that. Most of the video I make is experimental in the sense that I just wanna see what happens.

lately it's been hyperfocus on music (I got hearing aids) but that always leads back to animation eventually. you can see my work here and there in the world but I try to keep it separate from the internet society (half humility, half paranoia). I like for people to go "this looks nothing like your other work" when they view my physical arts.

What about you?
