#Wisdom from my skull = utterly unpredictable silly things, tidbits of wisdom and knowledge yup trust me I'm really smart and wise
#The gnome rambles = me yapping about stuff, usually more thoughtful/coherent/long, me having actual thoughts
#A gnome being insane = more of me being weird but less wisdom and more shitposts. I know they're similar shhhhh. Sometimes yapping or about fandom stuff
#ask the gnome = me answering asks
#Saving these for later and #Definitely not saving these for later = useful advice, tips, and links for various things, mostly art related
#Bad game idea = self explanatory, funny stuff I came up with

I DO NOT LIKE:
American Politics, MAGA (also I'm not American), Generative AI, NSFW, conspiracy theories, bigots, Homophobia, Transphobia, racism, misogyny, sexism etc etc.
looking for animal references on image searches has always kind of sucked but it's much worse after AI image generation technology has begun to actually past muster, which is why i always just go straight to inaturalist. can't recommend this highly enough. you get to both find out about niche species you've never even heard of and also see some really good photographs like this one
I miss when ads were a single click and then theyāre gone. Now every ad has a minimum of three phases where you watch a video, exit the still frame of fake gameplay, and then exit the app download. That doesnāt even touch on the ones that forcibly take you to another app after opening a tab in safari without you ever touching the screen.
I hate advertising. I hate that you canāt do anything without companies jumping down your throat with mostly bullshit ads. I hate that billboards exist. I hate that every company unanimously decided to make their ads longer and longer. I hate that ad blockers try to charge you money and there are in app purchases to remove ads. I hate that my attention has become commodified. I hate that thereās nothing I can do about it.
I told my little nephew that I'd wave at his airplane when it flew over my house today, and he very calmly and politely explained that it wouldn't be possible to see me due to the limitations of human vision. I said he just had to squint real hard, and he took a deep breath and went into the toddler version of "see, what you're not understandingā"
People on twitter are acting like Artfight is more about getting free art from big artists you like by attacking them and less about appreciating original characters (which have been relentlessly bullied by almost every community for years now) and its getting annoying so heres your reminder that you should be drawing oc designs you like and nobody is obligated to attack you or at all
I am going to lock in SO hard tomorrow for artfight. I FINALLY feel the "I actually wanna draw" vibes hitting me and it's goshdarn 1am. Anyway I WILL ATTACK. I WILL. BEGGING MY MOTIVATION TO LAST
