#take initiative

I feel like tumblr has gotten more like. Socially anxious? We’re all scared to talk to eachother. If you’re reading this go dm a mutual with a hello. Nothing crazy just say hello. Start a dialogue with a person you think is cool. They won’t bite (in a mean way) and putting someone on an internal pedestal only goes to isolate them.
We’re all human, you know?
#eggs can speak#this does not mean to like. harass people#I’m just saying to do the tumblr equivalent of walking up to a kid on the playground and asking them to play on the swings with you#I dunno I keep seeing those like. “reblog if your mutuals are free to talk to you!!’’ posts and it’s like. okay. if we’re all going to#extend the offer but nobody#actually takes it then we’re all just gonna feel lonely forever#stop offering. start taking the offer.#SAY HELLO#TAKE INITIATIVE

as a former escape room host i highly recommend doing an escape room as a first date. its a great way to learn how ppl react under pressure and how well they collaborate with you right off the bat. also more than once ive seen people enter an escape room as a couple and exit broken up LOL its a fantastic litmus test
#i have done this as a first date and its very enlightening#ppl are usually on their best behaviors in the beginning of the relationships#so adding in a little manufactured stress for fun rly brings out ppls real personalities#in a highly controlled environment of course so that its not actually dangerous#do they yell when theyre frustrated?#do they give up?#do they take initiative to solve things or just follow your lead?#how do they react when youre wrong?#how do they react to losing?#however im biased... i just love escape rooms......

Well, Are We?
Are we truly going to sit back and just complain? As Baby Boomers, we’ve seen so much change across our lives—yet now, more than ever, it feels like our voices are being drowned out. The truth is, meaningful change requires action, not just words. We must hold our leaders accountable and demand consequences for their actions. Remember, “power is not given; it is taken.” This isn’t just about the…

#avatar#atla#tlok#avatar the last airbender#the legend of korra#aang#korra#avatar aang#avatar korra#avatar: seven havens#a:sh#because like here's the thing. inheriting the mistakes of the previous avatar is literally a recurring theme in the series!#you can see this in the legend of korra too!#with aang taking bending away as a punishment it DID cement non-benders as second-class citizens in a way#which is what led to the equalists gaining momentum#because even if it WAS initially founded on a lie there WERE people who still believed in it as a cause!#and they were right to! and you can see this being RESOLVED in book 2 by giving nonbenders a larger say in how things are run!#anyway i never want to hear anyone call korra the worst avatar ever again

Not to preach to the choir but I wonder if people generally realize that AI models like ChatGPT aren't, like, sifting through documented information when you ask it particular questions. If you ask it a question, it's not sifting through relevant documentation to find your answer, it is using an intensely inefficient method of guesswork that has just gone through so many repeated cycles that it usually, sometimes, can say the right thing when prompted. It is effectively a program that simulates monkeys on a typewriter at a mass scale until it finds sets of words that the user says "yes, that's right" to enough times. I feel like if it was explained in this less flattering way to investors it wouldn't be nearly as funded as it is lmao. It is objectively an extremely impressive technology given what it has managed to accomplish with such a roundabout and brain-dead method of getting there, but it's also a roundabout, brain-dead method of getting there. It is inefficient, pure and simple.
#the notes on this post are about to get sooooo annoying#this doesnt touch on the fact that AI is stealing artist's jobs which i think is the real biggest harm of AI#but like#god#just take a minute and think about how stupid the current use-cases for AI are when you consider how it gets to those conclusions#this guesswork has its place in fields where guesswork is necessary like when screening for potential health issues in the medical field#but the benefit of the medical field is that when you get a false positive you can just do further testing to confirm the initial reading#that's called a second opinion and it is how the medical field is structured fundamentally#if you screen someone for cancer and it comes out positive#but it turns out they didnt really have cancer#that's fine! that's good news and it's good that you were at least wary of it!#but so many other applications for AI do not have this leeway where incorrect answers have further reaching consequences#and more importantly AI isn't stealing the fucking jobs of doctors!!!#although jesus i really wish doctors would stop using AI to take notes for patients#yes please lets give all my personal medical info to a big machine that stores and processes literally everything it hears#im sure there would never be far reaching consequences if that machine ever had a data breach#blah

Some league-playing friends were sad Viktor’s son didn’t make the cut for the show
#as a non-league-playing person#I skimmed the wiki to make this so#I won’t be taking notes#it was either this or Viktor invented the Golems himself#I was initially thinking Viktor designed Blitzcrank when he was a kid#because like- friendly robot that helps people and does stuff for the environment and also he dances#very 10y/o kid of you#but then I saw Golems like existed#and I get they probably weren’t technically around when Viktor was a kid#but it’s steampunk so I say they were#:)#my art#arcane#arcane league of legends#league of legends#Viktor arcane#jayce arcane#blitzcrank

Tragic: Guy you based your entire villain backstory on doesn't even remember you
#art#comic#sonic the hedgehog#sth#shadow the hedgehog#infinite the jackal#sonic fanart#sonic#sonic forces#My funny BTS on this comic is Shadow's initial response was 'sounds like cope but okay' but I wanted something less internet-pilled LOL#I've drawn more Sonic Forces fanart than I intended but it is EXCLUSIVELY because I think Infinite is SO funny#I'm gonna shove him in a locker#Bro lost a fight once and it shattered his self esteem#He's been practicing his evil laugh for months and when he finally gets his chance Shadow hits him with the 'I don't know you'#Also since this is taking off I want to clarify: I am a hater in the silly sense. I understand why Infinite has fans#The bones of a good character are there it’s just the writing of this game failed him So Bad#Forces is my least fave Sonic game but I can’t stop thinking about it because of its missed potential#Forces tries to make a lot of very serious plot points but the impact is just not there. It becomes unintentionally funny as a result

#my art#jujutsu kaisen#jjk#jjk fanart#jujutsu kaisen fanart#yuji itadori#itadori yuuji#jjk yuuji#been trying some stuff out in an attempt to beat the artblock out of myself with hammers#and i LOVE how it looks but god it takes so long painting like this#i had a ref style i was going for that was a lot more washed out and watercoloury#and to be fair my take on it did start out looking more adjacent to that#u can still kinda see remnants of the initial watercolour washes in the collar of yuuji's jacket in th bottom one#but it Did Not Last fhdjfjjg what can i say im a gouache/oils gal#i can't use soft greys and watery inks i need stark blacks i need the reddest red the colour wheel will provide#one thing i did keep from the refs were the sharp prickly fine lines i think those look real cool against textured colour blocks#anyway ive also been having a lot of fun playing with rly rly harsh lighting on the hair#and even thinner linework put down after the colour as opposed to before#probably one of the reasons why it takes a lot longer but also it mimics traditional art a lot more#ill probably continue playing around with this sort of render ! or at least keep elements of it

[Toon x Mobster] Jack confronts the darkness. This comic is related to this animation and future chapter events.
--- GRACE INFO DUMP TIME!! How can Grace appear out of nowhere and disappear in shadows like what happened in this animation?
Grace Huffman is human. The thing that she carries around is not. She calls it Lily.
#toon x mobster#txm#grace huffman#shadow entity (lily)#oc#ocs#oc art#original character#original characters#original character art#my drawing museum#I initially had no plans of explaining her paranormal 'powers' before deciding against it#since it would take too long for me to draw and write a composite hyping it up before dropping the reveal#not impossible. just long and tedious

[insert cute caption here]
#danny phantom#savant par#tucker foley#sam manson#ember mclain#im not gonna tag the other characters and ships thats too much work#phanart#my art#sketched this initially thinking id save it for valentines#but im impatient#also you should know i was imagining the plot of a Sam episode where Ember is playing matchmaker#and Sam has to take care of it for reasons#and tucker and danny are off having a date or something in the background the whole time#while she INSISTS that the holiday is stupid and ridiculous#she likes that its kitschy and dumb but she hates the consumerism of it all
