Fucking hell these ‘commission’ asks are really getting annoying

Just a heads up for anyone, theyre not people asking for commissions theyre scams. A person wanting to commission would probably not ask within a minute of me posting art, would probably follow me, would probably actually like my art, would have been following me for a while and would probably just dm you straight away

Not gonna rant but these are getting so annoying, and they’re dangerous for newer artists especially if theyre just getting into commissions

Everything I hear about the Lilo & Stitch revival somehow makes me angrier. Like,

That realization also led the filmmaking team to divide the character of Cobra Bubbles, Lilo's social worker in the animated film, into a CIA agent of the same name (Courtney B. Vance) and the new role of Mrs. Kekoa (Tia Carrere). "If the dramatic stakes of Lilo is that she's going to get separated from her sister, then you need a person who actually services those stakes in a credible way," Fleischer Camp says. "You can get away with that being Cobra Bubbles in an animated film — a 6-foot-5 huge dude with 'Cobra' tattooed on his knuckles is somehow a social worker in that world."

Hey. Hey, Director Dean Fleischer Camp. Why is a large black man with tattoos having a job as a social worker something you consider so ridiculous that it could only exist in animation? Why are you carefully sidestepping the fact that he is the only black character in the original film? Is it somehow more realistic to turn him into a figure who only interacts with the family through the lens of government defense against extraterrestrials? Or does the idea of a scary looking black man caring about the well-being of people's families confuse you, you racist piece of shit?

Like, yes, a black character whose entire presence is built around being massive and scary is usually Bad, but Lilo & Stitch actually flipped the script there. He is cold and aloof because he's professional, and he's professional because he does care about doing his job and protecting children. The minute he can parse the argument for Lilo and Stitch staying with Nani, he goes for it immediately. Behind the shades and the suit is a man who honestly wants the best for these two sisters and is audibly distraught when he thinks the best outcome is separating them.

It's not just, like, blatantly racist to take that out of his character, but it's also making the film more shallow in opposition to the themes of the franchise. The point of Lilo & Stitch is that there's the potential for good in everything and everyone. The leads are seen as inherently troublemakers by society because one's a social misfit (and arguably neuroatypical) and the other one's a furry xenomorph, but ultimately their better aspects shine through to everyone. Jumba and Pleakley are initially threats but they become mentoring figures to the family. The entire TV series focused around Lilo finding places in society for all of Jumba's previous genetic experiments so they aren't written off as threats to society. Cobra Bubbles is operating in that same milieu.

It is, frankly, exactly what I would expect from the people who wrote 'Lilo and Nani get separated but there's a teleport gun so it's fine' as a happy ending.

Welcome to another episode of 'The makers of this absolutely unnecessary remake do not understand what the original work was trying to say, leading to the creation of a shallow and outright problematic copy of a beloved piece of media'.

#lilo and stich 2025 #please stop with these live action remakes #no one needs them #don't you have new ideas?

recommended watching for all the people for whom its not clicking when someone talks about how a piece of media's queerness cannot cancel out it's racism (cough cough) or for all the people interested in watching a really meaningful discussion about racism in queer spaces that i really enjoyed today <3

voxofthevoid

Wow, now there's a bot going around on Ao3 telling people that the "moderators" will delete works from "deprecated" fandoms and impose bans.

Fearmongering bullshit, but it's fearmongering bullshit that seems to be taking advantage of the recent spotlight series in order to trick authors into deleting their fics.

Just. Why.

What the hell does anyone get out of making these bots.

xemylixa

There's a theory already that this makes it easier for copyright infringers to steal fanfics because you can't prove the authorship of a deleted work.

This is pure evil

Spread the word

p.s. The comments look something like this:

p.p.s. There's no "new" policy that bans original works, either. Everything that was allowed, is still allowed. This is a "please read our TOS ffs" awareness campaign - not a surprise rugpull. Don't delete anything, please. It's an archive.

even though it's technically a choice i'm pretty sure that the big majority of players picked to have the ogb with morrigan so them not including kieran in vg was just so stupid and lazy

Someone in that poll said not to watch naruto bc it's queerbait and I hate to tell you this but naruto wasn't trying to queerbait you it's actually the number 1 example of "text is so misogynistic it becomes gay"

Exactly this. Also the final arc was a mess.

"Why is it a problem if students use AI to get through college"

Because if you demonstrate to me that you're willing to set aside concern for truth, evidence, and verifying things with your own eyes whenever it happens to be inconvenient for you, I have a solemn responsibility to make sure you don't get into medical school.

galileosballs

"oh, but this course is just a distribution requirement, it's not for my major"

Does saying things that are true and that you know are true only matter when someone is giving you a little prize for it?

galileosballs

Tumblr doesn't like to do this kind of ethics, so I have to phrase this carefully, but it's a question of character. And a person's character is clearest when they're being asked to do the right thing even when it doesn't matter to them.

I don't want to live in a world in which doctors and lawyers and politicians just ignore the responsibility to research and verify when it's inconvenient for them. When they're busy. When they have something they'd rather be doing. The world I live in is already too full of those people in positions of power. I'll be damned if I let there be more of them.

galileosballs

Some of the responses to this have been, in essence, "well, it's not our fault for being raised in a bad educational system that prioritizes grades over comprehension". And you're right, it's not your fault.

But you freely admit the system is bad. That it values the wrong things.

So why do you limit yourself to only achieving what it values? Do you not aspire to be better than a system you know is wrong? Don't you want to change the world?

angrykittybarbarian

Let me also add that people aren't only using AI to do the research for them but also their entire thinking. It's not just a tool to get a quick overview for a certain topic and work from there, people are letting it write their papers amd letters for them. They are stopping thinking and developing their own solutions. The problem is however that the brain sort of functions like a muscle and it needs regular excercise to remain working and healthy. So the more people leave the thinking part to a machine the less they train their brain and thinking eventually becomes harder and less fluent. And I guarantee you, you don't want doctors, lawyers, judges and other goverment workers and service providers being unable to THINK.

cupping my hands together in the shower over my tummy letting them fill with water and spill over pretending i'm a beautifully detailed statue fountain in sicily that was modeled after the sculptor's wife that tragically passed and he considers it his greatest loss and he never remarried and wept while thinking about her every night until he died and an eclectic, sort of geeky and awkward art history student just finished his final about me in which he said that several historians consider me the most beautiful statue fountain in the world, and while that is true, he's also been obsessed with me since he saw a picture of me in a library book when he was young and i'm part of the reason for his taste in women as an adult and he's going to use the college fund money he secretly put away to go to sicily with his girlfriend to come see me because i was the art piece that made her feel beautiful and finally comfortable in her own skin after years of feeling unloved because i look just like her (she is also hopelessly in love with me) and he gently caresses the wedding ring in his pocket smiling gently glancing over at her glowing face as she makes eye contact with me and finally feels like everything is going to be okay. then i get shampoo. in my eye

I'm really regretting doing this, especially after the nasty message I got last time I asked for help... but I'm here again. Asking for help again. 😢

If I can raise $175 by midnight tonight, I'll be safe. Otherwise, I will miss another car payment and that will be very bad...

Nice!

It is my working theory that people who claim they don't follow politics or are apolitical actually mean they are not interested in the petty squabbles and power struggles of the politicians which news outlets sadly tend to focus on while burying the relevant information somewhere deep underneath the politics gossip.

In my experience these people are very much interested in a functioning infrastructure and a working social security network. They are often very left leaning with their demands. But because you have to dig behind the politics gossip, power struggles and petty personal conflicts of the politicians to see the facts that matter, which takes critical thinking skills, time and effort, which these people are not ready to invest, they are very out of the loop and oblivious to the current political developements until they affect them personally.

Come on, now, op. We all know squidward doesn’t go to the club.

He’s one of those “I’m not like other gays” gays who goes home to a bottle of wine and his obscure 50s vaudeville records, and then mopes because he can never find a boyfriend.
