Sometimes you can just feel yourself melt away- drifting further and further from reality- and it makes you scared- and it makes you sad- but asking for help feels useless- and opening up feels like a lost cause- so you fade away- little by little- until you can’t even recognize yourself- until there is nothing of you left to save- until you are nothing but a shell-

Hello! I wanted to ask, could you explain how you created one of the brushes that you sometimes use for sketching? The brush that I have in mind appears to be changing colour the more layers you apply/the more you colour in. For example in one of your sketches it turns from reddish to black. I've been trying to figure it out myself, but to no avail, and I really love how it looks :((

hi!! that's a super easy setting to do!! I don't know how it works in other art programs, but in clip studio paint, you (1) select whatever brush it is you want to change, then (2) hit the settings button on the lower right-hand side of the brush pane.

(3) then, you select the 'ink' tab on the left-hand side, and finally (4) change the blending mode to 'Multiply'.

and then you're done!! brush should work just as intended, now :) works with pretty much any colour, but the 'darkening' is more noticeable on lighter colours!

For anyone unfamiliar with Paulo Freire's Pedagogy of the Oppressed, the entire thesis is that traditional educational models promote oppression by removing students' agency in their own learning. Freire argues that currently education functions as a "banking model" - teachers are the holders of knowledge, and students are empty vessels, waiting to have that knowledge put into their heads like a piggy bank. This reinforces a passive attitude towards information, not seeking and understanding it on your own terms, but waiting for a "banker" to deposit it into your head.

Instead, Freire proposes that teachers and students act as co-creators of knowledge, where students become active participants in their own learning through questions and dialogue. Teachers are also open to changing their understanding of topics in the process of critical dialogue - the goal is not "student learns Fact A and memorizes it as presented," but instead the goal is the knowledge itself, discovered collaboratively by teacher and student, who are acting with empathy and respect towards each other. This also starts the process of the oppressed being able and empowered to question structures of power, take agency, and actively participate in the transformation of society.

So, the irony of writing an AI essay on critical pedagogy is actually insane; because it's essentially the extrapolated endpoint of Freire's arguments that our current educational system creates passive receptacles who not only can't think critically in an educational context, but also become the perfect citizens for a world that doesn't want us questioning structures of power, to view those in power as we viewed our teachers - deliverers of indisputable facts that must be memorized and regurgitated because they command it, and not co-creators of true understanding.
