As gen-AI becomes more normalized (Chappell Roan 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 gen-AI 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 tech companies. I draw not because I want a drawing but because I love the process of drawing. So even in a future where everyone’s accepted it, I’m never gonna sway on this.

"Telstar" - Tornados

1962 Written by Joe Meek

The sound of the space race, the hum of new technology and the world opening up for us. Number 19 in Let's Do It, my personal top fifty singles from 1954-76.

Joe Meek had always been interested in sound, sci-fi, space, and what we'd later term electronica. He had libraries of sound effect discs, and made "cut-in" records with a similar sound to "Flying saucer" - but much more sober and avant-garde. Meek's calling cards were a cavernous echo, masses of reverb and compression, and tapes played just a little bit faster than they were recorded.

The melody to "Telstar" came to him in a dream, literally the night after watching the inaugural broadcasts from the new communications satellite. The rest of the band chipped in: a Wild West beat the band had used on other tracks, speed it up, and have a keychange in the middle.

Mostly, "Telstar" is a non-stop guitar backing, layers of organ and piano, and the wailing melody on top. And takes, lots of takes, all layered one on top of the other. It's the wall of sound before Phil Spector invented it. Joe finished the production with a bundle of special effects, and by speeding up the tape to raise the pitch.

Less than a week after he'd dreamed the melody line, "Telstar" was with the record company; within a month, it was in the shops. The rest is history.

Dragons Rising really is the best sequel series for diehard Lloyd enjoyers, cause, yes, we acknowledge that he has panic attacks, crappy mental health, and also he's the grandson of God, but you know what really gets me? Lloyd is tired.

He's plagued with migraines (the visions are also migraines don't @ me), he's bemoaning about never getting a good nights sleep, hes struggling so hard to be a good leader and clearly doesn't have all the answers, and he's just some 20yo who's been cursed with saving the world since he was younger than his own students.

That's the realest way Lloyd could've ever been written in a future-series. It's what he is. But he's not angry (usually), he's not telling everyone to deal with it themselves, and he's not giving up. I love when Lloyd has finally had enough, but the real, genuine Lloyd? He'd never stop caring. He cares so much it'd kill him. He's tired and by god does he refuse to quit. I love that kid. Please get him a warm blanket

DP x DC prompt: kids from the future

Danny enlists the help of Dan and Dani regularly in crimefighting. The JL initially assumes siblings, but Dan volunteers that he's actually Danny's kid from the future. Danny is so shocked by thinking of it that way that Dani thinks it would be hilarious to insist she is the same. the following ensues.

Danny: whoa, what do you think you're-

Dan: dare you to explain me and her and what they're gonna find in our genetics any better without sounding like you're covering for someone.

Danny:

Danny: these are my kids from the future and that is why the big one is only half my genetic match and the small one has evidence of being made in a lab, please do not look any deeper into that

Danny: so are there forms for that or

Since the font wingdings gets translated horribly by any recording and ESPECIALLY digital stuff, can he like- not make phone calls either? THIS POOR MAN 😭

Yeah, basically 😞

I kinda made that whole headcanon for Wingdings based on this thing that happens in deltarune with your phone:

Soooooo, yeah!!!! Phone calls don't work great!!!

And like, yeaaaahh that's definitely related to Gaster but it's probably not his voiceeeee in canon, it's probably something elseeeeee BUT!!! IN THIS AU I MADE A WHOLE HEADCANON FOR GASTER BASED ON THAT, ISN'T THAT FUN???? YEAH🎉

john darnielle will say “no you don’t understand guys, this line was SO bad, it’s literally the worst thing ever i couldn’t even release the song because it was so awful and i couldn’t fix it,” and then the line will be “I've got a Kenmore single-room window unit air conditioner.”
