I had a tattoo client ask if I ever used AI to design tattoos for me. Man I spent the better part of a decade doing shitty bit work as a graphic designer and now that I have the space to do whatever I want, I'm gonna let the computer generate random garbage for me? What next should I have a computer that eats my dinner and fucks my wife?

I feel like people get so hung up on the results of a thing that they don't appreciate that the process of making it is, actually, enjoyable.

It's like if you have a friend who likes to bake, asking if they'd like to just buy cupcakes from the store instead of making them. The end result of the cupcake is secondary to the joy you get from having made cupcakes.

Art isn't a slog or a chore or something I want to avoid. Art is fun. It's rewarding. It feels good to do it. You may as well be asking me if I want the AI to watch television for me, it doesn't make any sense, I'm not participating and would gain nothing from it.

[yournewfriendshouse]

yeah the AI debate really has revealed the staggering amount of people who fundamentally misunderstand what art making is about

One of my favourite things when reading fanfiction is when you click with an author's style so much that you adore the fanfiction you're reading, and once it's over you need more. So you go to their page and hope that there's more for any fandom you might know- only there isn't any. They've written for other fandoms you aren't familiar with and never would've thought about before.

But you're down so bad for their style and talent that they got you wading in like:

"And you, SUH! Are you waiting to receive my LIMP PENIS!?"

[froginakettle]

for those who don't know, he was completely innocent. they misidentified him as someone else they were looking for.

so all of this wasn't him trying to look innocent. this was him actually being innocent.

He was literally just having a succulent Chinese meal.

[trickstertime]

"tata, and farewell"

I genuinely wasn't expecting the intonations this guy uses. It's like he's on stage pretending to be english, while also fighting with police

My mom made this. She said you guys would drool on it.

Ask your mom what it's like to have crafter's BDE that powerful

I once wore green cargo pants with a black hoodie in Belfast in the mid 2000s and two separate people yelled "alright there Kim Possible?"

Ted Lasso, as a show, was harmed by the short seasons that are commonplace in productions today and would've benefitted from 20 episode seasons with room for filler episodes. In this essay I will-

[rederiswrites]

Don't know how many times I've showed a non-Tumblr person a Tumblr post and had the whole thing derail because the poor soul actually read someone's user name.

[rederiswrites]

"Why does it say--" *squints at the screen* "....aziraphale's flaming cock??"

"Oh no uh, ignore that."

You know I read the "I was not prepared" and just still could not have possible guessed that follow up.

Okay I’ll admit this the was really awesome and a really well matched to the song and edited

[strawberrypatty]

That’s fucking tight.

ting ting TING TING TING! TING! *panting out of breath gasps in time to the beat* I LIVE FOR THIS STUFF

[wandrlust-stark]

fun fact a few months ago I showed this video to my 4 y/o brother and to this day he asks me to play the song (glitter and gold) because he is convinced it is “The Avengers Song™”

[mynameisagent12]

[siryouarebeingmocked]

A lot of fanvids either have the sound effects and speech lines overpower the actual music. This is one of the rare few when it’s actually properly edited to match the beat, and doesn’t rely on “oh, it’s that line you like! And that other line!”

[lightasthesun]

Remember that Loki is a little shit

“I’m listening”

[mytardisisparked]

Every time I watch this I get the biggest adrenaline rush and I love it

[avenger-nerd-mom]

This is AMAZING. Bless the talented fans who make such beautiful works of art for the rest of us!

[gamebird]

Good stuff. Worth a reblog.

Please for the love of god you NEED to go out and vote democrat this year. Not third party. Not write-ins. Do not let Trump win again with your misguided and petty attempts at TikTok-speed revolution by abstaining.

INB4; I don’t like Biden either, but there IS such a thing as a lesser evil.

speculative fiction writers i am going to give you a really urgent piece of advice: don't say numbers. don't give your readers any numbers. how heavy is the sword? lots. how old is that city? plenty. how big is the fort? massive. how fast is the spaceship? not very, it's secondhand.

the minute you say a number your readers can check your math and you cannot do math better than your most autistic critic. i guarantee. don't let your readers do any math. when did something happen? awhile ago. how many bullets can that gun fire? trick question, it shoots lasers, and it shoots em HARD.

you are lying to people for fun. if you let them do math at you the lie collapses and it's no fun anymore.
