Do any of you know about that one painting with Aphrodite being born out of lava with a black swan by her side or did i completely hallucinate that? Been searching for a while but i can’t find it for shit.

[thecavenest]

I tried googling that description but no luck either, anyone might know what painting this might be (or if it does exist? cause it sounds sick lol)

[semicolonthefifth]

It took a bit of googling magic, but I think I’ve found it.

This is “Kindled” by Laura K. Cannon, which is part of her portfolio that can be found here: http://navate.com/2wk6im1sartc92iwza7il07bxq2mk5

Is this what you were looking for? @sakyubaso

the original artist states:

“This went kinda viral on tumblr and people are arguing whether it’s a painting of Aphrodite. It’s not. If she must be a goddess, I think she’d be Pele, the Hawaiian goddess of fire.

But it doesn’t depict anyone specifically. After some soul-searching I realize that, while I wasn’t thinking about it at the time, it’s a painting about battling depression. I live with MDD so the idea of emerging from the depths is a powerful thing for me.

Is she being born from the lava, or is she climbing out of Hell? I think it’s both.”

so. not Aphrodite, but someone beautiful nonetheless

some people will be like “I wonder why fanfic writers don’t share their works anymore😔” and then this is them when a writer is kind enough to share something they write — as a hobby, for their own enjoyment — with them for free.

some people really don’t realize how privileged they are that they get fanfics for free. imagine having access to something for free because someone is kind enough to share it with you… and then being rude, entitled and an ungrateful pos to that person who was kind enough to share their creation with you for free

“almost 1 year is a lil too much for me” fuck off. fanfic writers don’t owe you anything. one of my favorite fics was updated after 13 years, and what I did is that I thanked the author for choosing to continue the work, I didn’t act like a spoiled toddler by asking why they didn’t update sooner. and even if a writer chooses to abandon their fic permanently with no explanation, that is their choice, their hobby, their decision. they don’t owe your entitled ass anything.

you people let tiktok rot your brains to the point you see everything as content farm and engagement. not a piece of art created by the artist’s love and passion. it’s dystopian.

The first rule of fandom is have fun. The second rule of fandom is find an enabler and become an enabler. Yes you should write that fic. What if it was even hornier? What if it was angstier? What if you wrote it just for me?

it's frustrating to talk about this bc I don't know the physiological reasons for it aside from "Nervous System Fuckery" but so much of my Mental Health Journey TM the past few years has been about noticing emotional energy in my body, where it is, and where it's still or absent. for a long time, my right side felt "empty" and it took a lot of effort to let emotions flow into it from my left side. but when I'm able to do that and close the circuit, so to speak, my body relaxes and takes a spontaneous deep breath.

it feels like the left side of my body is where my raw childlike feelings are generated, and my right side is the executive part, where I make decisions about how to interact with the world around me, and which passes feedback from the outside world back to emotional brain in a feedback loop. and those sides have been acting extremely separately for a long time, albeit with the emotional side occasionally finding ways to hijack the executive side when it needed to let off pressure. and I'm just now getting to a point where I realize I can relax and let all my genuine feelings flow through my executive side AND still act like a rational responsible adult.

which is all great, but then I go to write a post about it in case someone else might find it helpful, and I'm like. oh god I sound like a woo-woo crunchy guy who thinks he's an expert in chakras because he watched a tiktok about it. my problem is I'm not an expert in anything, I'm just going on vibes, and I'm really fucking curious what is happening in my nervous system that makes all this a thing. so what I'm getting at is, if you're a neurologist(?) and you want to study me like a bug get in touch

So uh….some dude apparently recreated Adobe Photoshop feature-for-feature, for FREE, and it runs in your browser.

Anyway, fuck Adobe, and enjoy!

I study graphic design and my tutor recommended and used this in his classes at art college last year, it’s so good it has SO many features for free, I really recommend it, even if you’re just trying to learn the basics of PS, such a wonderful thing <3
