BkII:402-437 Cassandra is Taken, Virgil's Aeneid

"Every man in her life failed Cassandra of Troy" Never ever speak ill of Coroebus of Phrygia

#He hurled himself to DEATH trying to save her from Ajax ;;#and its depressing because he could have not done that and plausibly lived to see another day with Aeneas. it was futile #He wasnt even a Trojan and only joined the war as a suitor out of his love for cassandra #i interpret the mad adjective as a form of eagerness. just as he was mad to die for her too #do we know why he loved cassandra? no we don't have details. but to die for her his love must've been great #cassandra was promised to another man (Othryoneus) in the Iliad and Coroebus still chose to stay until the end. THATS commitment #and in a way? this parallels to apollo quoteunquote avenging cassandra by clytemnestra's death except. this is more human and real #he is no god there is no happy ending but his last act on earth was defending the false prophetess #and thats!!! crazy to me!!#the humanity of it all #cassandra of troy #coroebus of phrygia #the aeneid

south africa was banned in the olympics in 1964, 1968, 1972, 1976, 1980, 1984, 1988 & 1992. a total of 8 times. for 28 years they didn't set foot in the olympics. you know why? apartheid. apparently the olympics disagreed with the apartheid regime in south africa. russia & belarus aren't allowed to take part in the olympics this year. you know why? because of their involvement in the war in ukraine. several countries throughout history haven't been allowed to participate in the olympics because of various reason from their involvement in war to human rights abuses. now if the olympics aren't blind to all that... why in the world are they blind to what israel has been doing to gaza for the past 10 months? why is a genocidal apartheid nation allowed to participate in the olympics when any other country in its place would've been banned?

#tbh the US should've also been banned for all their various human rights abuses throughout history #but isn't that the same issue? why do the US & israel get passes to behave this way when other countries are held to a particular standard?#olympics #2024 olympics #paris olympics #israel #palestine #keshika rambles

Expertise can't help you here.

#dungeon meshi #kabru #laios touden #falin touden #Happy Thistle Thursday once again. Have I been holding on to this comic for several weeks? Sure have!#I forgot how long it takes for Chimera Falin to come into play.#I still really love my 'better drawn' art of her - unfortunately it was several weeks too early for the anime only folks.#Slowly getting the hang of drawing Laios. I don't know why I struggle so much but I am getting...somewhere.#Meta time: God damn I love how the chimera shows off the expertise and gap between Kabru and Laios.#The truth is: they are both *right* and they are both *wrong*.#This creature is a combination of monster and human and they only have the skillset to deal with one of those.#Kabru goes for all the human vitals - but she isn't human.#Laios tries to approach her as a monster and is struck down by the humanity he sees in her.#She is something new that defies what they *both* understand about the world. And that makes her such a perfect antagonist.#The damsel was the dragon all along!#...She is really so cute though. Terrifying! But adorable. I am so excited to see the boom of fanart for her.

double posting this comic bc tbh it deserves its own post.... thinking about how elphie was definitely crying after she runs off to hide somewhere following popular... what do the two of them think about afterwards....

#wicked #gelphie #character design #comic #thinking about how elphie ahs probably never been called beautiful by another human being before...#and that makes me want to pull my hair out #she's crying here because she's scared and in love #after glinda comes down from her popular high she does some of her own thinking.#like “why did i say that and actually mean all of it. what's happening to me”

local ladies man’s signature move totally useless against autistic monster enthusiast. more on Kabru’s fumble era at 6

#i’ve seen so many interpretations of that 1 hr freeze frame of Kabru’s smile in ep 16 #he’s meeting his long time crush of course he’s trying to charm him #Kabru so obviously has a big fat giant crush on Laios #like atp in the story he’s tried to talk to him and get his attention so many times agjdjajdj #Laios is the human rubix cube he’s been searching for his entire life #everyone else is almost too easy for Kabru to pin down #Laios on the other hand … a treasure trove of autistic mystery #Kabru is so locked in #Kabru used signature move: charming smile #Laios: no effect!#there’s something so beautiful about the popular pretty boy entering his fumble era when his one true love turns out to be autistic #labru #laios touden #kabru of utaya #dungeon meshi #delicious in dungeon #wasabi rambles #seen so many clock that smile as nefarious and machiavellian #baby no Kabru is just dialing the charm up to 100 and what we’re all feeling is second hand embarrassment LMAO

Paying for the fire department stops neighborhoods from burning down. It prevents suffering.

Paying for health care for all would help our communities. It would prevent suffering.

Get it?

the question of fic comments is very straightforward actually. readers do not owe writers comments. writers do not owe readers fic. there is no bargain, no transaction, no debt.

fic is a gift. comments are a gift. gifts are exchanged between friends, out of love, not out of obligation.

I write for myself. I post it for others, as a gift, because their joy brings me joy. I read for myself. I comment for the author, as a gift, because their joy brings me joy. perhaps we were not friends before, but we are now, however fleetingly, because we have given each other gifts out of love.

#fandom #finx rambles #the corollary to this being of course that if no one ever says thank you for your gifts you will eventually lose the will to hand them out #which is not an ultimatum or a ransom but just a fact of human nature #I don't have the energy to comment on all the fics I read but I do it when I do have the energy #as a thank you for the gift #and I answer every comment on my fics eventually even if it takes me ages sometimes #there are authors who don't have the energy to answer every comment but do answer the more thoughtful ones #either way it's a way of saying thank you for the gift #a recognition of love and an answering in kind

Not telling y'all that you should be able to identify AI slop (but it is a valuable skill, you totes should), but if you're to be accusing artists of being AI left and right at least go and do your homework, or at least do the bare minimum and use AI identification tools like Hive Moderation, so you 1- don't ruin someone's lifehood 2- don't make a clown out of yourself maybe

Like, i get it, AI slop and "AI artists" pretending to be genuine is getting harder and harder to identify, but just accusing someone out of the blue and calling it a day doesn't make it any better.

The AI clowns shifted to styles that have less "tells" and the AI arts are becoming better. Yeah, it sucks ass.

They're also integrating them with memes, so you chuckle and share, like those knights with pink backgrounds, some cool frog and a funny one liner, so you get used to their aesthetic.

This is an art from the new coming set Final Fantasy for MtG. This is someone on Reddit accusing someone of using AI. From what i can tell, and i fucking hate AI, there is NO AI used on this image.

As far as i can tell and as far as any tool i've used, the Artist didn't use AI. which leads to the next one:

they accused the artist of this one of using Ai. the name of this artist is Nestor Ossandon.

He as already been FALSELY ACCUSED of using AI, because he drew a HAND THAT LOOKED A LITTLE WEIRD, which caused a statement from D&D Beyond, confirming that no AI has been used.

Not to repeat mysef, they're accusing the art above, that is by Nestor, to have used Ai.

REAL artists are not machines. And just like the AI slop, we are not perfect and we make mistakes. The hands we draw have wonky fingers sometimes. The folds we draw are weird. But we are REAL. We are real people. And hey, some of our "mistakes" sometimes are CHOICES. Artistic choices are a thing yo.

If you're to accuse someone of using Ai, i know it's getting hard to identify. But come on. At least do your due diligence.

#no #i will not “tag” the Ai artists of the catsune miku and the cat cux for all i care AI artists can go to hell and burn #but like #there are many of them #and when you figure out how to spot ai and how the AI generate the images #please trust me on this one #it gets super easy to ident like 80% of most of it #the catsune miku is the HARDEST to ident so far #because it did something out of the ordinary #but otherwise the others have very easy tells #they're trying to mimic styles like watercolors and acrylic #that have blurred edges #and impressionism #that have undefined shapes #so theyr “mistakes” pass as intention #but that's besides the point #what i want here is people to just think a little but before randomly accuse people #cuz it's really getting out of had #and god i do love seeing an AI artist getting their wig yanked out of their fucking scalp for pretending to be a human #but y'all need to know when to do it #some of you don't know how to behave and it shows man
