Sleep Token - The artists you can't fit in one box

I've noticed Sleep Token getting alot of hate and discourse over their music and their experimental style. People calling them 'baby making metal' or not metal at all feels like a misunderstanding of their creativity.

In a world full of trends, labels and aesthetics, I'm glad we have at least one band that isn't afraid to remain flexible in their artstyle. That's what artists are, after all - products of infinite imagination.

Alongside this, I'm pretty sure the lore behind their music gives them all the more right to be as experimental as they want. They aren't just artists, they're story-tellers.

Sure, you're well within your opinion to dislike their music, but discrediting them because they don't stick to one genre is like telling a portrait artist that their abstract work isn't art. It's still and always will be a form of art.

So a free tool called GLAZE has been developed that allows artists to cloak their artwork so it can't be mimicked by AI art tools.

AI art bros are big mad about it.

Awesome to see tech guys on the artist’s side. Please reblog or just share the link to Glaze, we need to start putting some locks on our doors.

it warms my heart how, at the end of naruto, instead of sasuke and sakura getting together right after he comes back to konoha, as a lot of shonen would do bc the guy is back and the girl still loves him, so they get married, he decides to have a journey of self healing first. i think it’s just so perfect and such a good message. he didn’t want to be with sakura without figuring himself out first, without making sure he was as free of his demons as he could be, and that he would be able to care for her and be good for her, like she always wanted to be for him. and how sakura understands and accepts it and just waits for him. it’s just really nice to see that after all the chaos they went through it wasn’t just ignored bc “she could fix him” or whatever shit, the both of them spent time growing and changing and understanding themselves better before they entered a relationship, and that’s why they worked so well together and got married so quickly after they got together again. blank period sasusaku has a perfect set up for a healthy and stable relationship, and I like how we have information enough to prove that, but at the same time a lot of space for fan speculations

Absolutely FURIOUS that regular moderate exercise is actually making me feel better.

It's actively improving the quality of my writing too. I feel like a cavegirl. "Why muscle activity make brain work good"

Hey!! I just started a YouTube channel with themed playlists! There’s only one on there so far linked above, but I’d really appreciate it if you could check it out, maybe leave some recommendations? 😊

me, incorrect: everyone is probably sick of me drawing this character by now...

my inner voice, wise: ah, but this cannot be... because I am part of "everyone"... and until I am sick of drawing them... it will not be everyone

me, opening a new blank canvas: ur so right

[commander-chaoss]

Reblog if you never once have been even remotely bothered by seeing someone draw the same character over and over again

working out your brain is a must!!

• hydrate it by drinking lots of water

• eat dark chocolate and blueberries and walnuts and salmon and other foods high in antioxidants!!

• play little brain games on your phone; I like wordconenct! anything that makes you think!

• read books. It’s simple but necessary. Even better - join a book club, or read with a friend, so you can have discussions after. This will improve your reading comprehension.

• do puzzles - it doesnt have to be sudoku, I love playing Beat Saber on the Oculus Rift because it makes my brain have to match colorful patterns to physical movements very quickly!

• learn a new dance - even a tik tok trendy dance. Learning new dance moves are proven to strengthen synapses!!

• go bird watching, or foraging, or anything outdoors that requires you to explore pattern recognition and visual searching

• watch a movie with the intent of analysis - this is best done with a cinephile friend!! talk about tropes and symbolism and character growth

• cross stitch, or sew, or do anything that requires matching nimble hand movements to patterns

• play or learn an instrument!

• develop a consistent sleep schedule (or as close to consistent as you can get!)

• when eating, try to identify the ingredients and flavors you’re perceiving!

I hope this helps :)

I like how this went from me feeling like “hm why is this attacking me 🤨” at first, but feeling grateful seeing an added guide on a genuine expansion on a “ how to” work out the brain. This genuinely helps a bunch. People find solace in doing activities that get them through life by doing said activities of phone/tv or if that’s all they’ve ever known in their life to get them through things + etc tho. However, this was very impt to point out. Slowly beginning incorporating things to work the brain in ones own time.

This but look at me. Look at me. dietary water counts toward hydration. you do not need to force yourself to drink a ton of water in order to be hydrated. Soda (while it has other problems and I don’t encourage it) counts, coffee counts, tea counts, electrolyte drinks help you retain water, soup counts, vegetables count, fruit counts. Unless you have health complications, you should be able to rely on your sense of thirst to keep you hydrated.

Don’t tell people your goals and ambitions. Even down to what you’re going to wear tomorrow or how you’re going to do your makeup. That way, you won’t feel obliged to listen to their opinions and end up not doing it. Keep it to yourself, then they can’t say anything once it’s done. I like to call it Silent Success. Be unapologetically you. <3
