“When they rob us of art and emotion, that leads us towards the aesthetics of fascism. In this film, all the sets are real, the decor is human-sized, there are painstakingly created miniatures... It’s there to remind us that art is not only necessary, it is urgent. And AI can go fuck itself!”

Guillermo del Toro on 'Frankenstein': 'AI can go f**k itself!'

"Art is not only necessary, it is urgent. And AI can go f*ck itself!” Guillermo del Toro is a guest of honour at this year’s Lumière Film Festival. He presents his adaptation of Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein", which audiences got to see on the big screen before it streams on Netflix next month.

Explaining my WOL's thoughts during Heavensward while picking up DRK to @eunisyn.bsky.social :

Rowan: Yeah, sure, let's end a dragon war right after I take myself out to the Ishgard equivalent of a Waffle House and fight myself because Fray said so...

Collage of three artworks side to side in a similar style.

1. A full-body digital illustration of Alexa in an Art Nouveau style referencing Alphonse Mucha's "Spring". She is a half-elf with fair skin and bright ginger hair falling in long swoops; her eyes are aqua blue matching the colour of the gems adorning her red beret, her single earring and her choker. She wears blue stays and red puff sleeves, long gloves and over-the-knee boots embroidered with gold. A cloth monogrammed with the initials 'A.I.' is tucked into her belt, and a flowing pink cloth wraps around her legs. Alexa is holding a silver rapier with one gloved hand and touching its blade with the fingertips of the other, as she looks to the side with a smirk. The background features Art Nouveau-style decorative elements with swooping vines, trailing roses and blooming lilies in a soft pastel colour scheme.

2. Full body Art Nouveau style of Ellia, a tiefling paladin, within an ornamental frame. She has ivory wings tinged with gold and pink, red skin with dark-tipped horns, short black hair, and pure gold eyes. She wears ornate white and gold armour. She is holding the Sword of Zariel with one hand; her red cape is folded over her other arm. All around her feet, snowdrops bloom. Ellia belongs to tieflingpaladin on bsky.

3. Art nouveau style drawing of Menardi, an elf woman with flowing white hair wearing metal and leather armour. She's standing in a misty/snowy landscape featuring bleeding heart flowers, and she's holding a bow in one hand and an arrow in another, looking down with a melancholy air. Menardi belongs to mimidrws on bsky.

Illustration of Amity and Kiana lying on their backs with their heads close together, reaching out to touch each other's hair as they look tenderly into each other's eyes. Stars swirl in the current around them. Amity is a dark-skinned girl with dragon-like horns and curly brown and pink hair. Kiana is a girl with pale skin and cat-like ears, white and purple hair, and yellow eyes rimmed in red makeup. Both characters belong to Lunewarden on Bluesky / Artfight.

Digital illustration of Alexa, a half-elven woman with pale skin, blue eyes and long red hair. She's wearing shimmery makeup and a circus ringmaster outfit. A heart-shaped spotlight is shining on her. She's holding a whip which is snapping in the air above her, as she touches a gloved hand to her top hat and smiles at the viewer.

Chibi lineup of the Forgekeepers: Artem, a tiefling rogue; Alexa, a half-elf bard; Dúri, a dwarf cleric; Theefsa, a goblin warlock; and Addan, an elf druid.
All characters other than Alexa belong to my D&D party friends (Theefsa belongs to lunelkie.bsky.social - Addan belongs to leki02.bsky.social); Alexa belongs to me.
