yknow AI art has ruined an entire genre of painting to me, i saw one of those smooth anime-realism pieces and immidiately thought ''ugh, AI art'' until i noticed it was posted by an established deviantart user 6 years ago. like ive never been a huge fan of that genre but it looks like a pretty difficult style to master and i feel bad for the artists who specialized in anime-realism only to have their entire market jacked by people typing keywords into midjourney.
the youtube "stop drawing like this" community doesn't want you to know this but you can shade however you want forever btw. it doesn't have to make sense in fact you should actively be pissing people off with how inaccurate your light source is
HUGE shout out to purple for being the only color that has like no losers. Deep purple royal purple bluish purple redish purple pastel purple dusty purple lavender periwinkle violet like. Banger after banger after banger!!
I never watched BBC Sherlock or engaged in the fandom and being into original Sherlock Holmes in the year 2024 feels like frolicking in a meadow that’s grown up over a battlefield. Occasionally a war weary veteran with shadows in their eyes will find me. “Don’t you know what happened in this place?” they ask me. “I literally don’t,” I reply, and go back to drawing guys from 1895.
Today I remembered for no reason I can tell the absolute most air-headed bullshit ever said to me, which was the time someone told me "Oh, Mangoes are a Melon."
I shit you not. And they would not hear that no, no these are definitely not melons, the seeds work differently because, and I REMEMBER TO THIS DAY despite all the brain damage, "My parents run a catering company and they always put the mango and melon together."
My cats. Buddies. Acquaintances. Strangers. She was in her mid 20s.
She absolutely would not hear that knowing where your parents serve food doesn't make you an expert on plant taxonomy.
I'm still not over it. It has been over a decade. It's still the most ridiculous thing anyone has ever said to me with complete confidence and damn right anger that I wouldn't accept it.
god what happened to the old games? a lot of people in my class has no clue what tetris is. or cat's cradle, or gilli fucking danda and hopskotch. i feel alone and betrayed by society.
