I NEED TO GET SAPPIER I NEED TO GET CORNIER AND CHEESIER WITH MY ART. I NEED TO DRAW STRAIGHT. GODDAMN. SLOP. THE WORLD IS CRUEL AND THIS IS ALL WE HAVE LEFT. Everybody listen to me YOU HAVE TO DRAW BULLSHIIIIUU7YTTTTTTTTTTTT YOU HAVE TO DRAW THINGS THAT MAKE YOU GIGGLE AND KICK YOUR FEET AND GALLOP AROUND YOUR HOUSE LIKE A DELIGHTED HORSE. YOU HAVE TO AND YOU MUST. I LOVE YOU
you ever have situations that make you want to take people by the shoulders and go “you are not 15 any longer. this behavior is no longer quirky and cute. it is exhausting for you and everyone else to act like a teenager you haven’t been in a decade or longer. knock it the fuck off”
lots of ppl making this about adults who have interests they find cringe but let me be clear this is about emotional immaturity. idgaf if you’re 35 and like goku okay but can you have an adult conversation without making yourself the victim is the matter at hand here
i’ll defend fanfic for my whole life. like the joy it brings is genuinely transformative and indulgent in a way unique to the genre. it isn’t meant for a market, it isn’t meant to be sold or marketed. it is born out of such care and passion for a media that one must write and must share it, so other folks can enjoy it to. for no other reason than love and joy. do you know how special that is? especially in our current social and political climate.
Lately, there has been a weird trend of people sharing AI generated animals images which are based on real animal images, often without realizing that they’re sharing an AI generated version. This kiwi kitten has been floating around the internet for at least eight years, but for some reason, people decided this isn’t good enough. Kiwi kitten is already perfect. There is no need to make a new one.
Sometimes knowing spoilers for shows is more fun cause u get to spend the show being like how the fuck does that even end up happening ..
The Good Place was so well-written that I went into it spoiled for the end of season 1, about 3 eps or so in decided that that spoiler must have just been a meme and not part of the show because I was so convinced by the premise, was surprised when the twist happened and then when they explained I was like “oh right! Of course it was real! How could I have ever thought otherwise?”
i think it’s really fun when a rly specific trope is super popular in one particular medium but in other ones it’s just totally unheard of. it’s the time knife. visual novel players are suuuuper used to death games but many others encountered them for the first time in squid games. the other day my mom showed me all excited the summary of a super original novel she found and it was about a girl who got reincarnated as the main character in her favorite fantasy book
Every friend group has the bloodthirsty shape-shifting entity that can perfectly imitate the human voice
“wehhh but my friend group doesn’t have a bloodthirsty shape-shifting entity that can perfectly imitate the human voice!” oh yeah? Are you really really sure about that?
I have to confess “your web browser’s assistive AI can be instructed to steal your online banking password via prompt injection because it operates with full privileges and treats all text it ingests as equally authoritative sources of user instructions, including the text of web pages it’s summarising” is more surprising to me than it should have been. There really is no one involved at any point in the development of these tools who actually understands what they’re doing, huh?
