#oh and btw that is a tragedy. its a self imposed and very easily corrected tragedy but it is still sad. but its also very easy to learn

because twitter is now a monkey brainchip wasteland and tumblr is a dying niche hellsite, there is now a genre of poster who is literally just "i have a tumblr AND a twitter account. and also a tiktok" and they are the only ones bridging this social gap that would otherwise tear society apart i think.
in art history you learn that artistic movements build on what people already understand .and. i think shape language goes all the way back to the earliest art we ever drew and we've just been iterating on it since then. not because it's human nature but because we are all just doing what the guys before us did. and if you look you can find things that most artists/art consumers would've been able to pick apart during that period, but we have to be explicitly told to understand, because the symbolism didn't stick. bare feet in the renaissance. fandom jokes that only make sense if you tuned into a specific cartoon redub stream weekly. and like. neolithic cave paintings!!! they move in flickering fire light! they're animated! but we had to figure that out because the artform got lost over the millenia. but until we did we were sort've Not Understanding that art form. we were missing such a massive piece that it was significantly less comprehensible.
anyways tiktoktumblrtwitter reposters are keeping us from becoming utterly incomprehensible to each other by keeping us up to date on the art-comedy-languages of other websites. and one day we will all be totally incomprehensible to ai art enjoyers . because they are just iterating on what came before without intentional or slow change influenced by their surroundings like we are. so they're gonna be stuck in 2019 forever while we're all using triabgles as an allegory for the death of computers or something
