You can always tell when social media is in a content drought when it becomes trendy to talk about your grocery list

It’s really funny when I do see a post from fanfiction and everyone’s like “HOW DID THIS FANFIC AUTHOR COME UP WITH THIS” but the line in question is very clearly based off of a poem I read myself lol

I only bring this up because I’m still tired of this anti-intelligence trend around literature bc to most people fanfiction is more fun to read, but then those same people also wonder how fanfic authors are so good at writing. It’s cus they read!!!!! And they read a lot!!!!!!

Something I find funny is the whole trend of “this line of fanfic is better than most literature I’ve read” because like. most of your favorite fanfiction lines are from literature. like these fanfic authors didn’t just dream up the best lines in existence, they got the inspiration from literature

Somebody asking you a question right as you take a big bite of food and making them wait 30 seconds to a minute for a response is the same as getting beaten to death by a thousand hammers

Every time I get embarrassed about including something on my portfolio I think about how my friend got into her university’s audio engineering program by using her DSMP fanmade video off of YouTube as proof of audio mixing skills

you guys need to be able to view animated movies with a critical standpoint like you would any other movie if you want it to be actually respected as a medium of storytelling, otherwise we’re gonna get more animated slop for children that may or may not be AI generated

dustbuster 🏳️‍⚧️✡️🇵🇸 @atthehuskinbee.bsky.social · Jul 26

“elio flopped because its art style is so stiff and boring and looks like every other modern Pixar movie” no elio flopped because Pixar didn’t bother to advertise it and because it just wasn’t a good movie. why does everyone only judge an animated movie’s worth by what it looks like

Furry artists aren’t rich because furries will pay for anything furry-related, they’re rich because they built a loyal following of people who love their high quality work, can’t get it from anyone else, and want to see more of it. The former kind of thinking is 100% inspiring more AI art

dustbuster 🏳️‍⚧️✡️🇵🇸 @atthehuskinbee.bsky.social · Jun 21

Controversial opinion but I believe the rhetoric of “I’m gonna draw furries to become rich” is highly increasing AI usage from people who don’t realize how commissions and building a loyal following works and just think making something relatively popular will make them a ton of money

If you ever feel bad about ordering a lot of food from a restaurant, it’s okay. It’s our job as food workers to serve you, no matter how big the order is.

What you should feel bad about is if you order a lot of food then complain about how long it’s taking, cus then we’ll shoot you on sight.

Digital painting of video game character "Alucard" from the Castlevania franchise. He is sitting crossed legged on a throne, holding a glass of wine, or perhaps blood.

Maybe I could become a monk and then I can blame my loneliness on a vow of celibacy instead of the fact that no one finds me even remotely attractive

Ghibli movies are dripping with heart & intentionality like you can’t believe. It is so painfully refreshing to see art created with so much thoughtfulness & consideration, especially in such a sterilized day & age. open.substack.com/pub/animatio...
