Court of Dreams.

A little bit of everything. Books. Harry Potter. Bethyl. Fashion. Art. Politics. Sappiness. Disney. Feminism. Cute animals. Pokemon. Throne of Glass. A Court of Thorns and Roses. Whatever my latest obsession is.

For you I'll be an empty vessel

Fill me and take me anywhere

Heaven or hell, I don't give a damn

Heaven or hell, well, I don't care

the main thing to remember about Kathryn Janeway is that she believes very strongly in the power of diplomacy despite, and this is an understatement, not being good at it

Hey, do y’all remember how Tencent said they were developing faceID AI to identify people in riots, and then they suddenly created an AI art generator to turn your selfies into anime?

Do y’all remember that time that someone discovered facial recognition cameras couldn't see through Juggalo makeup, then Facebook had a fun “see what you'd look like with Juggalo makeup” thing, and then facial recognition cameras could suddenly see through Juggalo makeup?

Do y’all remember how, on Twitter, Elon started a tirade against artists who ask for credit when their art is reposted, and he suddenly he created one of the first big art AI programs?

Do y’all remember how AI destroyed the field of translation, despite the inferiority of the machine translations, because people didn’t care about the quality of the translations? They just wanted it done for free?

Do you know how companies will see a lot of money going into a New Tech Thing (like, say, AI art apps) and will jump to try and implement that New Tech Thing into their tech? For example, how it felt like every big company and celebrity had an NFT to sell?

Just wondering.

Multi billion dollar corporations: We make crap AI ads because we rather hang themselves than pay an extra cent for a quality work.

Midsize art supply manufacturer: We commissioned a watercolor artist to make an illustration for every color of our watercolor palette and make it into an art book with swatches.

Now this is the kind of thing I am here for. I'm generally not a fan of "people being good at things on the internet", mostly when it's presented in that tiktok/asmr/perfectionism style.

But this? This is someone showing you their craft in a normal way where you can clearly see they're an expert. The book binding is fascinating to see and the watercolours are mind-blowing! Absolutely stunning work 🤩! I'd love to leaf through that book...

i think some of you dont like narratives or stories or characters i think you just like fanfiction tropes

[taahko]

protagonists can and will be sexist, racist, insensitive, cruel, stupid, etc, especially towards the beginning of a story. these are called character flaws and they are a surprise tool that will lead to narrative fulfillment later

From the media that brought you "Millennials are killing [insert industry here]" articles for years and years and years, now we have....

"Hey, Gen Z, we're gonna relabel vacations into something else now and tell you how you really should be wary of taking vacation because it might impact your financial future."

This is a goddamn dystopia, we know this, right?

I think one of the most damaging ideologies towards children is the conviction that having children isn’t a calling but a moral obligation.

[hymnsofheresy]

Not to be a crazy radical or anything, but children deserve to be deeply wanted by their parents.

[hymnsofheresy]

Children shouldn’t be a “stage” in life that everyone is obligated to fulfill; childrearing is not for everyone. More importantly, children shouldn’t be state-enforced punishments for “irresponsible” sexual behavior.

Children are people with thoughts and feelings just like the rest of us. They are conscious of the way people treat them. And they can certainly tell when they are unwanted and/or resented.

[ID: tumblr tags. they are: #reblog #i also dont think its enough to want a child. i think you need to want a teenager and an adult too #my mom wanted a baby. when i was too old to pronounce spaghetti wrong and let her put me in church dresses she was done with me #my dad wanted a person. he wanted a baby a child a tween a teen and an adult #my dad wanted to watch a person happen. which was different. /end ID.]

My husband says K-Pop Demon Hunters is ruining his life. So I'd say I'm obsessed a normal amount.

The first of many sticker designs I'll have, I'm sure.

Working on a chibi of Rumi right now and a 'Fit check for my napalm era' sticker.

What song lyrics would you like to see as stickers?

[evalescoart]

All of my pony stickers have been added to my shop! I have a few more in the works

Distinct from fine art, it’s also about avoiding developing the skill of written composition (forget vocab, spelling, grammar, appropriate word choice, proof-reading), it’s about avoiding developing any ability to express yourself, and failing to develop reading comprehension (if you plug something into it, asking for a summary). It’s just about being lazy and incompetent, and insisting that laziness and incompetence is fine, actually.

[robo-cryptid]

I hadn’t connected AI use with the recent surge in anti-intellectualism, but this makes me think it pretty neatly links that with the capitalist disrespect for art and writing as meaningful pursuits.
