imagine if you were the angriest, most passionate hater in the universe, and you died(?) and a pagan god-like figure (that you've been worshipping) who is hellbent on revenge possessed your body, but the process of possessing you gave her amnesia, and some really nice people who love you took care of her, so instead of being fueled by revenge she was fueled by love. then she grows out your hair in a sacrilegious way because she thinks you look hotter like that

ahaha you sly dog! you bastard! [getting a little too comfortable] you wretched fucking animal

having thoughts

Happy Lizard Fashion Day to those who celebrate.

man, I love this character so much! [fills them with a deep and inescapable yearning which they don’t know how to fill or even name]

doctor he wants to talk about his ocs but has nothing concrete to say about them. and yes it's fatal.

listen, fuck "to each their own", sometimes your mutual gets into some batshit insane rarepair that they're a little embarrassed about and it becomes your sworn duty to put on your jester bells and jingle jangle proudly by their side for moral support. don't be a pussy. it's ride or die motherfucker

"I can't believe [media] was actually about _____ the whole time!!!"

[one possible interpretation, yep]

[literally the main theme??]

[worst take you've seen in your life]

I get real "I'm at soup" vibes from some media crit

Needed to get some ninths out of my system

the big three questions of media analysis: what the author wanted to say, what they actually said, and what they didn’t know they were saying

murderbot is really like "thru the power of all of the tv i have watched and my robotic components which include a lot of weapons, I can handle any situation"

Any time I draw hands and they look too big I get worried. Like no…. Please I’m not trying to draw yaoi hands… please… spare me..,

Good morning,

museums should repatriate artifacts belonging to living cultures and display reproductions instead

SHES MAD AS HELL❗️‼️

ok so i think that my favourite fantasy subgenre is The Inherent Tragedy Of Being Born Into Royalty. which mostly means that i like to read about gay princes but with some nuance

ed zitron, a tech beat reporter, wrote an article about a recent paper that came out from goldman-sachs calling AI, in nicer terms, a grift. it is a really interesting article; hearing criticism from people who are not ignorant of the tech and have no reason to mince words is refreshing. it also brings up points and asks the right questions:

if AI is going to be a trillion dollar investment, what trillion dollar problem is it solving?

what does it mean when people say that AI will "get better"? what does that look like and how would it even be achieved? the article makes a point to debunk talking points about how all tech is misunderstood at first by pointing out that the tech it gets compared to the most, the internet and smartphones, were both created over the course of decades with roadmaps and clear goals. AI does not have this.

the american power grid straight up cannot handle the load required to run AI because it has not been meaningfully developed in decades. how are they going to overcome this hurdle (they aren't)?

people who are losing their jobs to this tech aren't being "replaced". they're just getting a taste of how little their managers care about their craft and how little they think of their consumer base. ai is not capable of replacing humans and there's no indication they ever will because...

all of these models use the same training data so now they're all giving the same wrong answers in the same voice. without massive and i mean EXPONENTIALLY MASSIVE troves of data to work with, they are pretty much as a standstill for any innovation they're imagining in their heads

Writers on a random Tuesday: Sits down, locks in, giggles, writes 10k, does not sleep

Also writers on a random Tuesday: writes one sentence and then stares into the abyss for five fours

#I feel like I’ve just been introduced to a major character in a Wes Anderson movie

“is this character good or bad” “is this ship unproblematic or not” “is this arc deserving of redemption or not” girl…

Do y'all ever read a fic so good that it makes you want to elevate your own craft and also befriend the writer? It's almost like, "Hi! You write so well that you've inspired me to embark on a creative training arc. Also, can I yell about the character in your dms because you get it?"

i can't do this anymore! i mean i can, and i will, obviously. but i can't fucking do this anymore!

Me while writing: oh hell yes this is such a good sentence I'm the master of poetic imagery

The writing when I go back to edit:

Dear video essay creators. A video analysis is when you analyze a piece of media. No no look at me. A summary, no matter how thorough, is not an analysis. An analysis requires you to draw conclusions about the media such as authorial intent, real-world parallels, discussion about themes/worldbuilding/character motivation, and so much more. You have to stop summarizing something and saying that’s analysis. The Gaylors are doing more critical analysis than you. Is that who you want to lose to? The gaylors?

were I to create an original piece of media I would create bait so queer in order to create a fanfic environment I like. I find you guys do your best work under duress.

firm believe that not everything happens for a reason, sometimes things are just cruel. and they shouldn’t have happened and it’s not supposed to be a lesson because we never deserved such thing.
