no ai generated content will ever compare to the absolutely cartoonishly evil plot to cut down trees to prevent workers from striking to get livable wage.

#tree law #sag strike #wga strike #also also it can be hard to admit but the US does set some industry standards so although im on the other side of the world its concerning!! #if bigwigs at US companies are screwing out their own workers what would this mean for those producing content in other countries? #what about our own local production companies that model american production houses? #oh we cant pay you a living wage cause thats industry standard. dont believe me? here is what a writer at X USA company at X TV show earns #also if you “cant afford” to pay your creatives a living wage then maybe you shouldnt be in charge #so yeah #i think this whole strike thing will affect more than just the US #just fucking pay your creatives

I hate this stupid picture SO MUCH

I see it posted EVERYWHERE online and it’s always full of comments praising it and it just fills me with rage. Everything about this image is a terrible idea. Fuck this thing.

#ppl cooing over aw how sweet how cute how nice for the puppers ^w^ #Then someone posts a pic of a dog with a creative/dyed groom job and ppl lose their minds concern-trolling #use common sense holy SHIT #I know it’s a dumb thing to get pressed over I know. Yet here I am.

While I'm fully on board with "show, don't tell" as a baseline for writing well, I think once you've got that part down, you can branch out into "sure, tell, but also make the reader feel".

Like. Showing someone exhibiting all the traits of nervousness is great, but I do think that sometimes it's easier and more immediate to just say "he was nervous. He couldn't keep his hands still, and his eyes kept darting to the door".

It's telling, but it's also showing. It keeps the narrative from getting bogged down with too many details but still gets the point across clearly, and makes the whole scene easier to imagine while streamlining it. It's still good writing.

Just. I think telling has a definite place in writing, as long as it's balanced. It's just clearer that way, and isn't that the point of good writing?

#writing #kat rambles #i just see so much show don't tell advice floating around #and objectively it's correct! don't get me wrong #but i do think that making things simple can open up your writing a lot more #and give you room for creativity #especially where the subsequent showing is concerned

sucks how capitalism and the current online climate pushes creatives (singers, writers, artists, animators, etc) to be "content" "creators" (let's players, streamers, etc)

#someone on the previous post made this point and yeah the amount of talented people from like the late 00s to early 10s who just completely #abandoned any creative endeavours to start a forgettable let's play channel or whatever is/was concerning

#Honestly I kinda miss when forums were a thing #This is in ref to *previously reblogged* because YEAH the other social media websites are flat out boring about CODZ #The way people interact with 'fandom' has lost all it's fun #That's only the fault of social media websites- not people #You cant modify your profile anywhere - follower numbers are public and create a fake chaste system... #and they have this weird fixation with limiting interaction of person to person??? The only interaction they want is person to Content #I mean there's nuance in this too though: like saftey concerns ofc #BUT you cant write essays on why you think Dempsey's favorite color is blue bc word counts limit you- #You can't make bad art or you'll get bullied off planet earth- #Everywhere else creates a 'who cares what you think' environment if you have fun bc you don't have followers #(Important for CODZ too bc if a YouTuber has an opinion everyone else will echo it without knowing what it even means #((Like 'Jugg is a crutch perk' omg shut uppppp. Tell me what that means. You get it to survive more hits?? DUH. IT'S A *PERK*. #...anyway. that's why I'll always see tumblr as > than any other website #Despite the flaws it's the closest thing to the forum/personal website days #And weirdly enough....twitter/tiktok/insta- the creatively limiting places- are the unhinged sites...

I like talking about my ocs and I like hearing about other people's ocs, so let's talk about them because why the hell not ( part 1? )

Question, what was your MC doing right before they arrived in the Devildom for the 1° time? I'll start: Magnus was peacefully sleeping inside a bus while making their way home when they got summoned & pulled inside the Council Room, falling on the floor ( ouch ) in front of the brothers and Diavolo.

#“and this is the story of how I fell asleep and woke up in hell 😀” #I have this image on my mind of diavolo and the brothers' pov #just seeing them appear a few feet on the air and immediately FLOP on the ground and stay there #they were concerned fr #“oh my demons we only just summonned them and they're already dead!!" <- asmo panicking #imagine waking up from a fall not only in pain but also in front of a bunch of strangers - demons in fact - telling you that you're in hell #and that you'll now be living with a bunch of demons - Lucifer AND Satan included - for an entire year #Magnus was hoping for everything to be a dream so bad #but then they woke up the next day still at HoL with Lucifer waking them up and the realization came like... #“...Fuck. I'm actually in hell.” #obey me #obey me shall we date #omswd #omswd lesson 1 #obey me magnus ( my oc ) #☙ no creativity for names ✾

why would you ask ChatGPT to write shitty 8th grade reading level fanfic about something you actually care about and toe a whole bunch of ethical lines, when you could instead ask it to write only insane shit that no human being in their right mind would ever voluntarily create themselves

(yes the answers generated for all of these supremely fucked in the most chaotic way possible. yes, I still think even this use of AI has some ethical complexities to it.)

#shut up e #ai #chatgpt #I'll resist getting into my major ethical concerns about ChatGPT + my eye-rolling about tumblr's ridiculous 'it's stealing my fanfic!' pani #(NLP-based AI does not work the same way as image-generation AI - it's not stealing your fanfic for its own like frankenfic creations. #it's doing worse things that don't involve copyright #but I WONT GET INTO IT-) #instead I will continue to use ChatGPT's creative writing function the way that god intended: for insane shit no human would create

Yknow I think Lloyd should be good at devising plans. He went to evil school he should be good at scheming. The reason why he’s leader of the ninja is because he’s the one that makes the plans and comes up with ideas.

#Misako is similarly good at coming up with plans #in comparison Wu acts on impulse and so does Garmadon #different kinds of smart on the ninja team #Zane has a wealth of knowledge due his abilities as a nindroid #but that doesn’t mean he’s creative enough to devise specific strategies #(most of Zane’s plans involve him throwing himself into danger and hoping he survives) #Nya is practically minded and before her time as a ninja she found ways to be useful by putting effort into researching #however if Nya hadn’t been already focused on specifically finding information she’s won’t notice things she wasn’t already looking for #i feel like Kai has certain viewpoints he’s more inclined to; like if he’s made up his mind he’ll probably stick with it whilst others may #second guess themselves #this confidence allows him to not write off his initial concern and allows him to see clues others miss or consider other possibilities #something something I think all of this is linked to the six virtues #ninjago #ninjago lloyd #ninjago analysis #ninjago headcanons

every time I rewatch Pacific Rim’s scene of the bigass robot wielding an oil tanker like a baseball bat to hit the alien monster it’s a healing experience

#‘and here comes Danger with the metal chair!’ #it’s not perfect and more than a little cheesy but. man I love that movie. #cheesy is good. heartfelt and concerned more with a fun time than being 100% logically sound #I’m overcome by childlike wonder. and love of fights/explosions/kickass monster designs #younger me was out for imaginary blood #love me some good fight choreography and creative methods of destruction #the kaiju designs are So Good I’m gnawing on them #honestly? still looks pretty fuckin cool if I say so myself #arguably some shots/designs for the pilot suits held up worse than the CGI #idk man it just. Looks Good. solid work from the CGI artists holy shit #meposting #pacific rim #it’s about love and family and vulnerability and community and living with consequences #and monsters. and bigass robots. #and ron perlman #rewatched in part to work more on my CSM Pacific Rim au hehe #one of the parts of the soundtrack reminded me of Promare’s song ASHES and now I want to rewatch Promare #my pacific rim thoughts

so I have seen the new trailer for the live action ATLA adaptation and I think I'm actually feeling more optimistic about it. Generally when an animated product is adapted to live action, I want to see something new in the production and storytelling that justifies why this story benefits from being re-created in a live action format, while still maintaining the overall heart and spirit of the animated original. Most of the disney live action remakes, for example, have failed to meet this bar.

Where I'm feeling a little more optimistic with the ATLA remake is because the format almost necessitates some pretty significant structural changes to the story. You can't take something like season one of ATLA, which was incredibly episodic and designed for Nickelodeon syndication in 30 minute blocks, and stitch it into eight hour-long episodes on a serialized, binge-watching style platform like Netflix without making changes. You just can't.

What I'm hoping they do with these changes is that instead of trying to frankenstein the story together, they pick and choose which elements matter and which do not. And then I want to see the storylines they keep get greater focus and more elevation than they received in the original. One of the benefits of a remake is that you already have the finished project to build off- you know what matters, you know what doesn't, and you can work with that to craft a tighter story while giving appropriate expansion and depth to elements of it that might have been overlooked in the original. The way Suki and the Kyoshi warriors have been billed and marketed gives me a lot of hope for this- when Bryke were first creating ATLA, they had no plans for Suki to be anything more than a one-off character, but she ended up Sokka's endgame love interest. The new show has the benefit of already knowing this.

Same thing applies to characters like Azula, Mai, and Ty Lee. We already know where their storylines end up, so they have the opportunity to expand and deepen all three of them without worrying about making things up as they go or maintaining any sense of mystery. And they have a lot of opportunity to play with Ozai's character too, given they don't have to keep him in the shadows for two whole seasons anymore- we already know he's a hot older version of Zuko, that reveal happened in 2007. Since they don't need to hide his face, they can actually show a lot more of him a lot earlier in the story. Again, I'm hopeful for this given that the trailers seem to be showing a lot of extra scenes with the Fire Nation characters and Azula and Ozai are both featured on the promotional poster.

Now, will I like the changes they make? That's an unknown. I might. I might hate them. We'll see- but at least it seems like there will be changes that, hopefully, will serve to justify why this remake deserves to exist. I do not want to see a shot-for-shot recreation of the animated series. I can already watch the cartoon.

That said, I still want to see the spirit of the original preserved. So far I like what I'm seeing from Netflix- the world looks pretty good, the animals, while obviously CGI, look faithfully rendered, the costumes are miles better than what we saw in the 2010 movie (though I have my reservations about the saturation of the blue in the water tribe coats), and the characters all look pretty accurate to their animated counterparts. The lighting is dark because lighting is dark in every show these days, and I'm not 100% on the color palette. But I was glad to see some of the humor has been retained in the trailer- we see Aang running into the statue like in the opening of the cartoon, Sokka has a few one-liners, and the shot with Momo was cute. I'm a little worried Iroh's humor won't translate well into live action, but we'll see what they do with that (I imagine they'll have to cut back on some of the slapstick, Saturday-morning-cartoon antics anyways).

I like most of the casting too, from what I've seen so far. Dallas Liu looks like he's gonna be a great Zuko, Kiawentiio I already knew from Anne with an E and I think she'll be a perfect Katara, and I think Ian Ousley will grow on me as Sokka. His line reads sounded good in the trailer. I'm a little concerned about Gordon Cormier, he looks the part perfectly but he is so young and I felt like his delivery in the trailer was just...lacking a bit. But I need to see more of him to really judge. And I love the casting of Elizabeth Yu for Azula, I love that she looks like a tiny baby. No one will mistake her for the older sibling in this version. And of course the adult cast I'm not worried about at all.

(bully any of these children online btw and die by my sword)

Will this show be good? I don't know. But I hope it will at least justify its existence to me as more than just a nostalgic cash grab. That's what I'm looking for first and foremost.

#I'm honestly less and less worried that bryke parted ways with netflix over 'creative differences' #because I expect bryke would have been more likely to want a shot for shot remake #and while the original show is still one of my all time favorite pieces of media...we can't just credit that to them #and since I haven't liked everything they've done since atla....well #point being I'm not overly concerned that there were other creative voices involved in this remake #that might have actually taken some chains off the new production in a way #but we'll see what they did with that #atla live action
