I really do think an important component of activism is to make sure your motivation is based on a desire to help/improve things for the people being harmed by a system, and not hatred for the ones doing the harm. both for mental health reasons, and because either way you're training your neural pathways and it's gonna turn out a lot better for literally everyone if the question on everyone's mind after achieving a goal is "how/which people can we help next, what's the next step for improving things" and not "who do we need to attack next."
I'm not saying don't be angry, there are a lot of good reasons to be angry right now and it makes for an excellent kick in the pants, just don't define yourself by it or it's gonna poison you and potentially do collateral damage.
#it also makes it so much easier to get sucked down those dangerous algorithm pipelines#I've said it once I'll say it again improving the world is often boring and unglamorous and anticlimactic#but it's fucking important

Lil Number Chasing
I stopped doing fanart online for the most part after years of making a lot of fanart for shows like GF and CR and my engagement TANKED and then I hit nearly 2 years of horrible burnout (in the middle of the pandemic too cause who does life on easy mode ayyye) in which I still desperately tried to create stuff and felt horrible that nothing I made was good enough. Not good enough to make the ‘lil numbers’ on the post go up. Not good enough to get hired and not good enough to make things people cared about.
It feels good when the lil numbers go up but that shouldn’t be why we make art. I stopped looking at the lil numbers. I started making stuff for me, the lil numbers stay really lil, but I’m happier. The few people that also like my stuff talk to me about it. Their engagement is like an addiction to create more.
Shitposts, icorrect quotes, drabbles, short stories, whole novels are because out of 8000 (mostly human I hope but lesbihonest bots are everywhere) followers I found like five that like my stuff enough to chat about it and keep it going <3 I’m forever grateful to that goofy handful of people that make creating my own stuff worth it.
I dunno why I’m writing this, I see a lot of art friends from twitter panicking about the low lil numbers on their posts these days and when I check their stuff its numbers I could never fathom obtaining, let alone complain that they were too low. It makes me anxious about my own work all over again.
So what I guess I’m trying to say, and trying to live by my own example, is not to throw all your self worth into how big the lil numbers on your posts get. I understand how engagement can lead to work and stuff and its easier for more eyes to see and spread work to actually get hired but even casually we need to stop obsessing about the numbers themselves and start honing in on our work, why we really make it and who its really for.
We can only do what we can, and not burn ourselves out trying to compete with hostile algorithms just to watch the little number go up. I hope artists can still enjoy doing what you do and it hasn’t become a joyless, feverish state to keep work in this truly terrible time to be an artist/creator out there.
Tell your favorite artists that you love their work, that their characters make you happy, that their stories are a comfort to you. It means SO much more than the lil numbers and that sorta love and engagement makes them want to make more. Without it, the only feedback artists get is the rise and fall of the lil numbers on the post, THAT’S the approval we end up chasing.

truly my best brain time is in the middle of the night caffeine & sugar rush. I think I just understood math, like some part of the general pattern of math if that makes sense. something clicked somewhere in my brain and I felt it
#idk this might sound like a sleep deprived caffeine up god complexed person's rambles bc that's 100% what it is#(it's vector & matrices I'm at currently bc got some algorithms to figure out and explain how those would apply to deal with EEG-data#in practice and I think I got like the basic thing that idk how to put into words; like the connections etc.)#I think it helped to have that EEG-data there to think things through with bc some context is always nice#I suck at just purely theoretical math#anyways feeling great & maybe I'm not the dumbest person on this earth after all#april 2024#2024

i feel like twitter has given artists this strange complex where they don't feel they're allowed to enjoy what they do, regardless of anything
so here's your reminder you're allowed to enjoy art. you're allowed to enjoy your art even if it's shitty as fuck, even if it's a brush test, even if it's something you've never done before
you're allowed to enjoy your art even if it "flops" because who the fuck cares, you shared it with at least one person. it is tangible. you made something that didn't exist before. now it does because of you
you're allowed to be happy with your art. you're allowed to enjoy it. that's the point
#and i'm sure it has all to do with the idea of the algorithm and instant gratification#but it makes me sad to see amazing creators beat themselves down because#“well i have to” “i'm just not happy” “i'm so demotivated”#you really don't have to. you can enjoy things. you can enjoy shitty things. you can enjoy temporary things#do the art of the fandom you're not in but you like the design of#do a sketch of the au you made up at 2am and never will think of again#even if they're not popular or they suck or whatever

Monthly Luigi Sketches Pt. 2 (AUG-JAN)
Here's the rest of the Luigi sketches I drew the 21st of each month. With the January one, I've finally completed a full year of sketching Luigi once per month. I think here is where the change of how I draw him is more noticeable 💚
As you can see, the one from August is not Movie!Luigi, since at that moment I was still deciding if all my sketches had to be of that version especifically, or if I could draw any version (me and my own silly rules, hehe 😅). At the end, since I had been practicing a more cartoony style, I chose to draw Luigi like that.
This was such a fun project (and to think it all started by the biggest of the coincidences three times in a row). I won't be continuing this for now, at least not until the next movie gets announced.
Thank you so much for all the love you gave to my 12 Luigis 😄💖 Now that you've seen them all, which one did you like the most? 👀
You can find Part 1 here.
#still kinda sad that the one from January didn't get enough attention#it's like all the ones that were improvised on the spot got most notes than the ones I had planned with anticipation#like the one from October#I liked that one so much that is the only one I drew in a clean piece of paper while the rest were drawn in notebooks#and it didn't make as much numbers as the one from June or December#Tumblr's algorithm sucks#the super mario bros movie#mario movie#luigi my beloved#movie luigi#luigis mansion#luigi's mansion#polterpup#luigi fanart#luigi#mario movie fanart#super mario bros#super mario bros movie#mario bros movie#mario bros#smb luigi#smb fanart#super mario bros fanart

Invictus weaponized for Summer Royal Cosplay
2024 Netflix content from WALES & LONDON UK. Not from Canada where the 2025 games need the promotion. Also, what happened to Santa Barbara polo & the pwives?
May 4th- little being little birthday
Sunday, May 5th- start of Met Gala festivities NYC
Monday, May 6th-NYC Met Gala
Wednesday, May 8th clapback service 5pm St Paul's UK The Meghans are both on program as they create "royal" adjacent content for Netflix
June 7th Grovensor wedding UNINVITED
June 15th trooping the colour UNINVITED
June 21st USA Warrior Games
July 11th The Meghans cosplay royals in WALES for golf & formal black tie gala under the Stars w/the stars promo & fundraiser for 2025. Doesn't Canada have golf courses & banquet facilities?🤔
Could it be WALES was chosen because The Meghans are desperate to be associated with "The Prince and Princess of Wales" with every click? They intend to influence the algorithms?

The people who do well on the test go to the best schools. That's why we let them in to the best schools.
This is the 3rd time I've seen someone who makes YouTube videos go mad trying to second guess "the algorithm."
YouTube provides creators with a firehose of data: How long people watch, when they stop watching, the distribution of views. YouTube also sometimes selects videos using a secret, unknowable algorithm to be "promoted." For small and medium creators this is a huge deal and the difference between 500 views and 500,000 views.
For self-critical analytical minds it's a toxic combination. Think of it this way: You have all this data to help you improve your videos, if the data meets certain criteria your video gets seen. Your video matters. For those who are trying to make a living making videos it's critical.
But, you don't know what those criteria are. Some of your videos get 100,000s of views some get only 100s. The Algorithm decides.
The worst kind of boss or parent is the inconsistent, unpredictable boss who inflicts punishment or anger seemingly at random-- all making you think you ought to be able to figure out why it's happening. You keep struggling to please them, to meet their unspoken formless criteria for success. Improve your thumbnails! (by adding exaggerated faces to them) Avoid these colors. Don't forget to ask people to like and subscribe! (People really are more likely to like a video if you ask. So, you should ask because likes are a factor in the mysterious algorithm, right?)
It reminds me of standardized testing.
Why say "like and subscribe" ? Because the data from YouTube proves that when people ask they get more likes. Having a lots of likes means a video is going to be popular. If YouTube determines that a video "will" be popular then YouTube promotes the video *making* it popular. Ouroboros!
(The people who do well on this test go to the best schools. That's why we let them in to the best schools.)
It's enough to make a person crazy.
Once again I'm seeing a creator I like as a person, someone who cares about science get obsessed and maybe a little delusional about little blips and kinks in the watch-time graphs for his videos.
You see suddenly "the algorithm" hasn't been boosting his videos like before. He didn't change anything the views just dropped off. And so he's looking for a reason. He is blaming himself. But... it might not be anything rational. They change the algorithm all the time.
My advice is to avoid depending on YouTube (if you have the option.) It's not a good work environment.
I hope that this guy comes out of it. I'm not kidding when I've said it's driven other people mad. Like they had to get therapy because of it... which sounds funny ... until you think about what it would really be like.
Thanks for letting me share about this. It's weighing on me today--

i guess im not too involved in the zelda fandom cause seeing a post about rabid totk defenders is wild to me. from my perspective people were singing that game's praises for 2 months total before it fell to the "popular game bad actually" criticism wave and i don't think i've seen anyone say positive things about totk since then lmfao
#maybe it's just twitter's algorithm showing me discourse and criticism to try and spark engagement or whatever#ive experienced the same thing with mario odyssey which sucks cause i DID get into that game well after release but whatever#i think the game has plenty of flaws but is still like. one of the best games on the switch and that's not an insult to the switch#and most of my writing issues are 'well this sucks but also makes reasonable sense within the constraints of the game design'#like the lack of sheikah tech or the repetition with the backstory cutscenes with the sages#ive also never been super interested in trying to piece together the timeline or linked universe fan stuff but that might just be me#i feel like botw/totk is way better when you view it as a retelling of the zelda universe and give up on trying to reason with the timeline#for making a direct botw sequel on the same map w the same formula and still trying to make it fresh they knocked it out of the park imo#at least in regards to gameplay?#i acknowledge that there is a MASSIVE flaw in the non linear gameplay clashing w the linear story cutscenes this time#(... but that one didn't personally affect me since i saw the memories in mostly the right order and the story hit me weirdly hard)#but anyways yeah where are all the mean totk defenders i keep hearing about i thought that game fell out of the public consciousness#all i still see about it is NintendoMarioJimmy47536 on twitter calling it 'mid af' or whatever#and occasional gorgeous paintings of the light dragon on my dash

Youtube apparently thinks I'm the only person who likes both ClariS (They made songs for Cells at Work and Puella Magi Madoka Magica) and Myth & Roid (They made songs for Re:Zero and Overlord) cause no matter how much I listen to them, the algorithm refuses to make a mix album with both.
My efforts and experience to get the algorithm to form a link between the two goes:
Play lots of ClariS songs. Now Youtube knows to recommend playlists of their songs
Play lots of Myth & Roid. Now Youtube knows to recommend playlists of their songs
Alternate between them between songs. No integration.
Play more ClariS. Nothing.
Play more Myth & Roid. Playlists start adding a band called Mili (Mili and M&R did a song together one time).
Listen to tons of Mili. Youtube recommends mix tracks of Mili and M&R
Listen to ClariS. Youtube doesn't mix ClariS with anything.
Listen to more M&R. Ender Lillies OST gets recommended (Mili made the soundtrack).
Listen to tons of Ender Lilies. That gets integrated to Mili and M&R
Buy Ender Lilies. Beat it in a month. Remember what I was originally doing.
More ClariS. The playlists now have ClariS, Mili, and Ender Lilies. No M&R.
Play Mili. Start getting Made in Abyss Soundtrack (M&R made some songs for it)
Nier Automata OST randomly shows up one day. I can't find any discernable reason for that happening.
Play more ClariS. Playlist finally shows M&R.
Wait no, it's a playlist of ClariS and Made in Abyss. No non-MiA M&R are here.
Discover at some point M&R removed most of their songs (Likely due to the band leader leaving)
At this point Youtube will make playlists of ClariS, MiA, Ender Lilies, Nier, and Mili; or M&R, MiA, Ender Lilies, Nier, and Mili. Still refuses to mix ClariS and M&R.
New ClariS song comes out. Listen to it nonstop.
Youtube decides the new ClariS song should be associated with M&R and not ClariS.
M&R restores all its songs. Have to start all over.
New band Kokia suddenly appears in playlists.
Listen to tons of Kokia.
ClariS is now willing to associate with M&R but only the songs that weren't previously removed.
M&R still refuses to associate with ClariS though.
This has been a minor pet project for nearly a year now. I have made almost no progress but have found tons of music I love so it's not a total waste.

Y’all I’m so fucking tired of people trying to sell us things , it’s all we ever see. sponsored content, ad spon segments on YT, ads below the fucking video, ads above the title, ads IN THE MIDDLE OF YOUR VIDEO, unskippable ads, Instagram shop, Facebook market place, tiktok shop, algorithm ads, sims shop IN THE GAME, Pop up ads, paywalled articles, pay walled videos, freemium apps, the “for just 99 cents you can level up” except it’s never JUST 99 cents because they’re targeting the addiction prone, the ads in between every single level of your game.
ADS, ADS , ADS
This capitalistic dystopia is sickening and I’m so tired of people trying to sell things to me.
