*JJK 238 spoilers*
Gojo? Dead.
Sukuna? In his true form.
Also Sukuna? Reverts back to being a selfconcerned douchebag because his slutty twink malewife didn't survive the Mortal Kombat fatality.
"Love is worthless." He sounds like a middle schooler dealing with their first breakup and it's fucking hilarious to me 💀
GDKDHDKSHDKFJSJD he's tryna cope fr. not to mention the way he keeps mentioning gojo too. he's doing BAD BAD, the loss is hitting him hard

the rise of AI art isn't surprising to us. for our entire lives, the attitude towards our skills has always been - that's not a real thing. it has been consistently, repeatedly devalued.
people treat art - all forms of it - as if it could exist by accident, by rote. they don't understand how much art is in the world. someone designed your home. someone designed the sign inside of your local grocery store. when you quote a character or line from something in media, that's a line a real person wrote.
"i could do that." sure, but you didn't. there's this joke where a plumber comes over to a house and twists a single knob. charges the guy 10k. the guy, furious, asks how the hell the bill is so high. the plumber says - "turning the knob was a dollar. the knowledge is the rest of the money."
the trouble is that nobody believes artists have knowledge. that we actively study. that we work hard, beyond doing our scales and occasionally writing a poem. the trouble is that unless you are already framed in a museum or have a book on a shelf or some kind of product, you aren't really an artist. hell, because of where i post my work, i'll never be considered a poet.
the thing that makes you an artist is choice. the thing that makes all art is choice. AI art is the fetid belief that art is instead an equation. that it must answer a specific question. Even with machine learning, AI cannot make a choice the way we can - because the choices we make have always been personal, complicated. our skills cannot be confined to "prompt and execution." what we are "solving" isn't just a system of numbers - it is how we process our entire existence. it isn't just "2 and 2 is 4", it's staring hard at the numbers and making the four into an alligator. it's rearranging the letters to say ow and it is the ugly drawing we make in the margin.
at some point, you will be able to write something by feeding my work into a machine. it will be perfectly legible and even might sound like me. but a machine doesn't understand why i do these things. it can be taught preferences, habits, statistical probability. it doesn't know why certain vowels sound good to me. it doesn't know the private rules i keep. it doesn't know how to keep evolving.
"but i want something to exist that doesn't exist yet." great. i'm glad you feel creative. go ahead and pay a fucking artist for it.
this is all saying something we all already knew. the sad fucking truth: we have to die to remind you. only when we're gone do we suddenly finally fucking mean something to you. artists are not replicable. we each genuinely have a skill, talent, and process that makes us unique. and there's actual quiet power in everything we do.

Sometimes I forget why exactly I disliked ACOMAF as much as I did and then I see a random quote and am instantly reminded.
This is exactly the type of gaslighting that this book does that annoyed me so. fucking. badly.
'All he'd wanted to do wasn't free me, but fuck me' - ah yes, because it totally wasn't her who went for his pants first.
'He hadn't tried to kill her, hadn't crawled for me'
Excuse me? He crawled as he was bleeding out from a chest wound, still tied up. Not to mention he DID kill Amarantha in the end. (Also he couldn't kill her before, because that's how magic bonds work - none of the high lords could lift a finger against her. There was literally nothing he was able to do).
Also it makes no SENSE for Feyre to be resentful of Tamlin not rescuing her all of a sudden? Tamlin saved her already by returning her to the human realm. SHE returned to fight and die for him. She KNEW she'd most likely die but she was there to rescue HIM. It's not like she got kidnapped by Amarantha and he just watched, no she came to die for him. It's kind of weird to blame him for not getting her out when she came in to get HIM out.
So yeah, ACOMAF is awful in this regard and I just don't get it. It would have been quite easy and possible to make Feyre realize that Tamlin isn't right for her without literally making shit up about him that conflicts with book one.

stepdaddy! oliver would go crazyyyyyy zari 😳 i know im in ur mail all the time but blue lock boys are on my mind around the clock!!! :,) and omg im really starting to love rin now, ur agenda is def working! poor babe feels lonely and betrayed for what meanie head sae did to him :(( mwah take care of urself zari ♡♡♡
OOOOOOOH JAE,, PLEASE THIS FITS HIM SO WELL Q_Q he's your mum's much younger lover and YOU KNOW he's bad news - from the way you hear her crying in her room a bit more often now, then see her all over him the following day as if nothing ever happened. how he's so charming and sweet to every other woman - not just her. you hate his guts, even though your mom never really confines in you and doesn't dare badmouth him in any way. but you just have this gut feeling that he's not to be trusted - no matter how much he tries to make u warm up 2 him.
and your instincts are proven right when he has you spread on his bed some time later, and makes you feel better than any other guy your age ever could. but it's far too late now, and you should've been more cautious before it happened - cause now that he's had you, there's no way in hell he's giving u up :(

i need to interrogate eric kripke right now. i need like pliers and knives and a bone saw. i need one of those blinding interrogation lamps. he needs to tell me what was happening in his brain when he wrote supernatural season 1 episode 16 'shadow' and what possible explanation he can offer for the scene where sam says, 'there's gotta be something you want for yourself' and dean says, 'yeah i don't want you to leave.' he wrote that down and said yep! this sounds great. good work. another day in the completely normal sibling relationship mines. eric kripke i am coming after you with a hot iron i KNOW what you ARE
