"Humans are totally depraved" "Humans are totally good" What if humans are inherently moral? It would explain why people are obsessed with this question. What do we truly desire if not to know and possess The Good? To have the definition of "good" and "bad".
What if this desire leads to us defining it on our own terms? What if my definition of "good" and "bad" is different from your definition of "good" and "bad"? What if there is no "good" or "bad"? What if we are horrifyingly free - abandoned by god - to define "good" and "bad"?
What if this redefining of good and evil on our own terms is the origin of all human failure?

Dragon bruce wane that hoards his many children and kids that arnt even his. On an unrelated note clark is wondering why kon and Jon are nowhere to be seen. Who knows🤷🏽♀️
Okay. Dragon Bruce Wayne, but the public/media don’t think he inherited the dragon shifter genes from his dad (notable dragon) and the recessive ones from his mom’s side (Martha was a very strong carrier) because he’s so calm in public and doesn’t appear to hoard anything. He’s smooth and charming with media at events, he shakes hands, he’s not twitchy or abrasive like some stronger dragon families are, especially the purebred ones. The Wayne dragon shifters all tended to be prickly in public, even Thomas. Especially when Martha was out of sight too long.
And so, the media writes him off as a non-inheritor, no shifting or dragon genes expressed. Which is strange, considering his parentage. Even Martha had some dragon tendencies as a carrier.
But then. Bruce starts adopting kids, and everyone slowly realizes that this is a dragon. He is the sum of both family lines in the best and worst ways. He is adopting a HOARD of children. He is reasonable about everything except two things: his children, and his city. It turns out, those are the only two things he dragons-out about. But when he does? Holy shit.
Bruce Wayne isn’t a dragon who happens to be in Gotham. He is THE dragon of Gotham. Gotham is his hoard, and god protect you if you touch his kids. All 78 of them running around under his broad wings.
#asks#anon#dragon shifter#dragons#fic ideas#batman#bruce wayne#dc#batfamily#Thomas wayne#Martha wayne#and to make it worse#Martha managed to form claws in the alley when Thomas was shot#even tho she never shifted and couldn’t in theory#as a carrier#but she mustered them to protect her son#and Thomas went down before he could shift so she was it

YOU MANIFESTED THE TWEEL CARDS CONGRATS
YOU'RE WELCOME EVERYBODY!
seriously though I was probably like. 60-80% thinking we'd get at least one tweel for chapter 10. but I was NOT expecting it so soon! both of 'em! in August! a shame we're not getting a Coral Sea event after all...but I guess I can be resigned to that and ALSO excited for getting shiny sparkly glowing(!!!!) mertwins along with Azul fighting his inner demons and going right for the eyes! AHHHH I CAN'T WAIT
(also heeeey I recognize that rowboat... 👀)
#art#twisted wonderland spoilers#twisted wonderland episode 7 spoilers#twisted wonderland book 7 spoilers#twisted wonderland episode 7 part 10 spoilers#twisted wonderland book 7 part 10 spoilers#omg they're real#hey twst as long as you're pandering directly to me#che'nya card for riddle's chapter??????#it's not going to happen. but. WHAT IF#anyway i suppose they could get this one out a bit faster since the tweel sprites already exist#let's hope for a non-ob octozul cameo too! 🤞#as much as i want to see him though i do think it would be extremely funny if his dream were just#everything's the same in the coral sea except he's in human form the entire time#no real reason he just feels like it#chapter 10 though! the hype!#floyd is one of the characters i can't even begin to imagine what his dream might be#(the other one is ace) (i got a couple theories for him but floyd i just have NO idea)#i know it might just be for the diptych but i am VERY intrigued by the implication that the twins might be having the same dream#they're both dreaming about the time they teamed up to ruin some couple's cute rowboat date#and you know what. i believe it.

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 everyone’s accepted it, I’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#“an object created and controlled by companies” 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 “tool”#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 “automation” 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 “well i don't engage in systems that would make me vulnerable to ai so if you own an apple phone that's on you”#you aren't a communist you're just self-centered

wanna preface this by saying that i am. So normal. anyway i just spent the last week redrawing scenes from mystery skulls animated but as that hermitcraft au i posted about a couple times. you guys should watch msa it is. so so good.
#my art#hermitcraft#mystery skulls animated#geminitay#geminitay fanart#ethoslab#ethoslab fanart#falsesymmetry#falsesymmetry fanart#ignore the fact that etho's hair changes literally every drawing#poses + expressions are traced a bit; and backgrounds aren't mine(well; except for the second one; which you can prolly tell;; sksnsks)#and also (with the help of sap bc i'm bad at color theory) edited the truck bg colors a bit#but even so;; i am!! very very happy with how these turned out#mystery skulls animated spoilers#<- honestly that's mainly for the murder mystery one#granted anyone who hasn't seen the future at this point prolly won't have that tag filtered#etho's murder mystery form(no i don't have a name for it)'s collar tag is a mix between a mable leaf and a vex!#cuz reverb is cub in this au#hence all the blue and stuff;; skdhkdnkd#you'd think that last pic would have been the hardest for me to draw; with how complicated etho's design is#but surprisingly; it doesn't even place top three in terms of how long it took to draw#no; instead it was that Fucking. Truck.#WHY did that take me eight and a half hours#the second longest was only five!!!#the others barely even top 4!#also#WHY are the deadbeats(which are mini tillies here) so deceptively hard to draw#every time i struggle with them orz#anyway. images 3; 6; 7; and 8 are my favs <3#if false and/or pearl see this. o/ hoi

sometimes I think about some Loop designs and how Loop could secretely be made to last no longer than the 2 days inside the loop and just a few days afterward. Like the luna moth. no mouth or digestive system. They starve.
(Also referencing this art, because I TRIED not looking but I don't doubt this fella was in the back of my mind when I drew this)
#isat#in stars and time#loop isat#loop and whoever you ship them with could still do hot gay shit though. like the luna moth#fun fact apparently there are many if not most moths that just Dont Eat because they're not formed right. Evolution you bastard#art#fanart#kitscribbles#ALSO FORGIVE ME FOR THE RADIOACTIVE GREEN????#THEY LOOK SO MUCH PALER ON MY SCREEN THE FUCK#HELP. HELPPP#mothfrin and loopmoth trying to theory craft except mothfrin cant stop staring at loopmoth head empty pretty light#loopmoth cant just fucking fly away because their sense of direction is BORKED

My personal take on the Abundance Yanqing theory.
#honkai star rail#hsr#hsr fanart#abundance!yanqing theory#my art#yanqing#yanqing hsr#yaoshi hsr#yes yaoshi is a deadbeat#inspo was the tartary lamb just ignore the stalk protruding from the back instead of the belly#i was struggling#in my head he's sort of like a fruit of the arbor thats taken on a human form#mb yaoshi created him personally im not sure#also no ones pointed out yet that theres flocks of golden swallows in the roots of the arbor? right before fighting phantylia?#is it just me thats noticed that? cause it seems like quite the mighty big coincidence just saying#yanqing and luocha being the only xianzhou characters with blonde hair has me in a chokehold as well#like it has to mean smth right??#also jing yuan knows and hasnt told anyone#because his love for his son outweighs his duties as a general#thats my based take of the day#thank you

it's so amusing that when you're an author who is like any minority, you have this caveat where if your book gets banned, you kinda have to mentally acknowledge whether it was banned by Bruce, the one really bigoted guy who wastes everyone's time in florida. idk how bruce is doing. you don't need to learn who he is really which is why im not using his surname. but if you have a book out commercially, bruce has probably written "damaged souls" on a form about you. so there's a street cred element to all this like did people really have a vendetta against your work...? or was it just bruce again
#i am mildly certain i have received two different bruce attacks towards different florida counties#but i can only find one of his beautiful forms where he writes that the book has critical race theory even though it's about skeletons#he also made a really amusing video where he reads lines of my book out loud derisively and i would just love to post it but#alas i don't want to give him the satisfaction..#not all of my bans were bruce there were issues in virginia and idaho and kentucky but still#also please let this serve as a reminder that many horrible things are caused by evil people just being really loud and determined
