The core of it doesn't seem to be because people just wanna create and be an artist, if your true frustration is that you want the fame that comes with art therefore you're taking the short route of AI, then you're still not an artist, you're just bandwagoning off of trends.

Grab a fucking pencil, get some paper. I used to draw on paper that was about to be thrown out. On the back of lecture notes and recycled paper. I drew with ballpoint pens and they were all shit. Several heads and busts just floating on paper because I just wanted to draw faces. Study expressions.

FUCKING LIVE, FOR ONCE, NOT JUST TO SEE AN OUTCOME, BUT TO GO THROUGH THE PROCESS. ALL OF IT. THE FRUSTRATIONS AND THE EXCITEMENT.

Art is so, SO romanticized and that's why people think it's so far away. Out of reach. IT'S NOT. People have to STOP thinking that way.

And it just makes me so goddamn sad seeing people say shit like "but I'm not good, so I'm not an artist"

WHO FUCKING CARES WHAT YOU ARE?? YOU'RE NOT AN ARTIST IF YOU USE AI EITHER?? SO IF THE POINT IS TO CREATE, THEN CREATE. MAKE. DO.

THINK about the museums, the first person to make a stuffed toy for children, the people who found mf BEARS fascinating enough to paint on cave walls. The music that has INSPIRED your favorite people, the music that has UPLIFTED you, EMBRACED you.

It's all from the craft of humans.

The fucking...HISTORY of humanity. The plight of people in all walks of life. Art has been there consistently. It is in the streets you walk, the signs you see, it is in the lull of the elevator ride up and it's in the movies. In joy, in grief, we seek ART. WHY would you abandon its creation???

LIKE FUCK. DUDE. BEING ABLE TO JUST...CREATE. TO MAKE THINGS. SHITTY OR GREAT?? DOESN'T FUCKING MATTER. YOU DID THAT. YOU /MADE/ THAT. FROM NOTHING. SOMETHING FLOATING AROUND AS THOUGHT, AS IDEA, NOW HERE, IN PROSE, POETRY, ART, ETC.

GODDAMN.

EXACTLY THIS. I write and I draw, I personally HATE the entire creative process because I have hyperphantasia and I already know what I want and having the tedious process is EXCRUCIATINGLY SLOWER THAN MY BRAIN'S ABILITY TO CREATE.

BUT MY GOD. THE END PRODUCT. KNOWING /I/ DID THAT???

I don't use ai for inspiration. I don't use ai to write. I don't use ai for anything. I simply sit and WRITE. Because it's MINE. Because I LOVE it. And if it gets tough, I just keep WRITING.

I wanted to watch Critical Role campaign 4 live but haven’t been able to.

I KEEP wanting to watch it bc people keep telling me that the things Brennan is doing are things I have either done or WOULD DO as a DM.

I am SO curious…

Dry Feet + Dry Floor = Preferred, toasty, all is well

Dry Feet + Wet Floor = Horrible, disgusting, makes me want to rip my skin off

Wet Feet + Dry Floor = Slippery, nasty, makes me want to tear myself apart

Wet Feet + Wet Floor = Fantastic, clean, I am one with the floor

It took me so long to finish the main game of Hades 1, but I managed to finish Hades 2 much easier.

Literally took me 2 or 3 years of on and off playing to finish Hades 1, then once I beat Hades things started to get easier.

The difference?

I got a new controller...

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

The Verge @theverge.com · May 26

Nick Clegg says asking artists for use permission would ‘kill’ the AI industry

Paul McCartne, Elton John and others signed an open letter.

I've just dropped the price on these because literally zero orders is usually a bad sign 😅 canopyrobin.etsy.com

Just added a couple of limited edition stickers at canopyrobin.etsy.com! They're an A6 trans flag and trans dropout loopdeloop.

Unlike my normal easy-peel stickers, these are an eggshell design with extra-strong adhesive, so they'll break at the edges if tampered with and become very hard to remove

a large trans flag sticker, broken along one edge where someone has tried to remove it

the dropout game changer loop de loop symbol as a sticker in the trans flag colours, with text that says we've been here the whole time. The design is broken down one edge where someone has tried to remove it

One pet peeve of mine is seeing people use the words "complement"/"complementary" to mean "compliment"/"complimentary".

Please.

It is...not the same.
