Maglor, a ghost, as I try to teach myself how to do it more "painterly."

I think the best way to fight this AI shit is just to support actual creators. The cat's out of the bag with AI; our data's going to be taken and used without our consent whether we like it or not, so maybe we should put efforts into holding up those who create their own stuff. Comment/interact on people's writings and art. Make it worth them posting; make it clear that what the people are interested in isn't generated stuff, but things that people have actually done themselves. It's a drop in the ocean, but showing creators that it's them that deserve the support at least serves to cut off a tiny bit of oxygen to these AI hogs - and make a difference to creatives who are trying against hope to share with a community.
#every time ive posted anywhere it's progressively gotten less and less reblogs and reposts and it feels less and less worth it to insist#it makes me so sad. i already have a hard time sharing my art because im so protective of it and if i post it i want it to be seen right?#but it isnt... im mostly irreversibly feeding it to ai. feels heartbreaking#and I dont want to sound ungrateful because I am very grateful for everyone that supports me and is super enthusiastic about my art.#that is invaluable to me#but it is mostly friends and I can just share it with them privately or other places yknow?#i wish i didnt even feel the urge. i have always been the first to say that culture is a right not a priviledge and as an artist#I am a purveyour of culture... these tags probably looks silly for some considering the blog they are at lmao but this is not my only#artistic venue and even if it was I am also against snobby sentiment re: what constitutes as “art” there lays fash rethorics.#But I have my own feelings as an artist to contend with too. And a disabled artist to contend to as well. Art is a Sisyphean task at times.#and it begs the question over and over. for whom an I putting this out for? I do have my pride you know? I do.#and I dont want pity or validation or anything like that. I understand its a structural problem and its not me or my value or the value of#my work that is in question. Nobody needs to force themselves to like me or support me. I dont want that. I want something genuine.#and i also know theres a fuckton of things going on#one thing doesnt takes away from the other though.#kinda vomited the feelings i've been having for the last 2 years here. sorry.

“To be oneself, oneself alone, in a little complete world, was a great temptation for all. A universal seduction! a beautiful folly, which causes all the effort and all the progress of the world, from our earth upward to the very stars. But in her first attempts the Medusa, seems especially unjustified. One would say that she was created on purpose to be drowned.” – ‘The Sea’ by Jules Michelet.
