#art exists for the creator

[bixels]

Always an experience watching the leftism leave FNAF fans when someone mentions that Scott Cawthon financially backed fascist politicians.

The switch from posting hardline leftist tweets about boycotts and signal boosts and critical takedowns of politicians and celebrities to ‘ohhh, well. everyone makes mistakes. who can blame him, listen he. he donated money to gay charities too. that makes it ok! a millionaire in his forties is allowed to have political beliefs. does it even matter? just let it go!’ is whiplash inducing. The antivaxxer celebrities have got to go, but this one horror dev who quietly handed wads of cash to antivax lawmakers? He’s chill, he can stay.

The charity thing is so funny too because suddenly utilitarian positive-negative point counting is the way to go. Maybe an abacus would help calculate the net good of donating to the Trevor Project minus donating thousands of dollars to Mitch McConnell and Donald Trump. -10 points if I push a kid in a lake but +11 points if I help an old lady across the street, so I’m chill. You can’t judge me. Hey, maybe. Just don’t push a kid in the lake period. How fucking low is the bar when we’re excusing maxing out the possible dollar amount of donations to Mitch fucking McConnell. That should be like. Default you’re a bad person.

#delete later #personal #not art #rant #you can still be a fan of fnaf 100% but god you’re not obligated to defend its creator #don’t pretend like Scott is cool #“’Scott likes gay people he only voted for trump for his fiscal and defense policies in defendi america from terrorists!’ #kid. that’s not good either. #fiscal conservatism kills people too. #the whole thing exposes how weak some leftists are to the image of the ‘well-mannered right wing republican.’ the type who would #respectfully disagree with your right to exist with a kind top of the hat #‘as long as you silently hate me and force a nice smile while shaking my hand it’s ok’ #this is why jk Rowling is hated while Scott gets a free pass. just have to hide your hate well enough and liberals will excuse you ig

Will I ever practice art enough to learn how to shade? No. But I draw well enough to get the concept of the person I invented in my head onto a canvas, and really, that's all that matters to me.

#shewhodabbles in #art #art exists for the creator #i can't comprehend lighting #but i created a whole person from scratch #and that's something

[carpisuns]

when I say im a creator you’re just gonna have to trust me on that

#do I ever post art or writing? #maybe #sometimes #who’s to say #the bible says faith is hoping for what you can’t see #if you believe me when I call myself a creator you don’t NEED to see my theoretical creations that may or may not exist #anyway #mine

What do you think makes Tim drake special? Aside from a death in the family moment… 🤦

“death in the family moment”? Do you mean Jason? Or are you saying that Tim was introduced because of what happened during Death in the Family? I’ll defend both Tim and Jason just in case haha

Tim Drake is special because he chose this life. Much like Barry prior to The Flash: Rebirth (2009), Tim didn’t need a tragic backstory to inspire him to go out and be a hero. He also didn’t need superpowers to become a superhero (unlike Barry). No, Tim is Robin (Red Robin/Drake) because he saw the need and didn’t wait for the vacuum to be filled, he went out and filled it. Tim believes in Batman in a way that almost no one else does. He believes in Batman’s ability to save Gotham and he understands completely how and why Batman can be that hero. He’s also unique in his equal belief in Robin. That’s why he’s so okay with not “graduating” from being Robin, because unlike so many others, he recognizes that Robin is just as important for Gotham as Batman is and it’s this intense understanding that makes him such a cool and important character.

Now for Jason, I think he’s unique because he’s the redemption story. I’m sure some people would call him a failure, but I wholeheartedly disagree. Anyone who knows anything knows that you only fail something when you stop trying and Jason has never stopped trying. No matter how horribly life and the people in it have treated him, Jason never gives up on helping others. You know all that stuff I said about Bruce caring even when he has no reason to? Yeah, Jason is every bit Bruce’s son in that. But Jason is a redeemed character through and through, he was the Robin that died, the one that was made to believe that no one wanted him, was convinced that he was a failure and yet he came back, had a bit of an evil era, and then he was redeemed. He accepted his faults and the faults of those around him and he became determined to do better or die trying.

There’s some other points I’ve made before, but I don’t want to rehash so this is all I’ll say for now haha 🫡

#comic books #dc comics #ask me anything! #comics #opinions #thoughts #batman #robin #red hood #red robin #drake #tim drake #jason todd #would just like to add that I’ve never seen the need for characters to be totally and completely unique in order to justify their existence #they exist because their creator wanted them to exist #that’s how art works #are you totally and completely unique? #yes you are but not everyone may know that if they just look at what archetype or role you fill #you have to get to know people and their unique stories #everything that led them to being them #same with characters #“oh there are five robins what a mess they’re so redundant #I don’t hear anyone saying that about you and your siblings Becky #lmao #I’m getting so heated in these tags lately #lol 😅

Kann man einen Ticchi Tobi umarmen?

(Ich verstehe Englisch nicht gut, tut mir leid)

DE: Yoo! Mein Deutsch ist nicht fantastisch, aber es ist okay. Die kurze Antwort ist: Ja, aber es gibt unvorhersehbare Folgen. Wenn ich mich recht erinnere, glaube ich, Toby hat deutsche Eltern oder etwas, also passt es, dass er Deutsch spricht, haha Auch ein Bonus

ENG: Another headcanon of mine is that I like to think Toby either speaks or understands some German.

#I speak a few languages so language barrier doesn't exist to me- #if my main blog would become a toby blog i would die laughing #but i don't mind #i just don't like the creator of toby #so that kinda stays in the back of my mind #but i love toby a lot to drop him #ticci toby x y/n #art #my work #ticci tobi #ticcy toby #creepypasta ticci toby #ticci toby headcanons #ticci toby x you #language #german #ask #creepypasta headcanon #creepypasta fanart #creepy art #creepypasta #DE

On the topic of ‘bad mascot horror video games for kids’ the exception to the rule (or rather, something that understood the assignment) would be My Friendly Neighborhood.

I don’t want to spoil anything if you haven’t booted up the game before, but just…don’t be fooled by jumpscare compilations or the character design. From the opening cutscene this game grabs you by the fucking throat. The mechanics have thought put into them, the voice acting is top notch, and christ the fucking story - a complete story, one that has an end that isn’t promised in future ‘chapters’ or left ambiguous.

Yes, it has jumpscares from goofy muppet monsters, but they’re not cheap tricks. Once you learn how the game works they’re easy to avoid or at the very least anticipate - not to mention they’re survivable with the healing mechanic. And just when you think the scares are done, when you’re well into the game and have all the tools you need to navigate around potential jumpscares, the final act dunks you into the deep-end with the actual horror and nightmare fuel puppets.

I’m not sure how much the game as a whole qualifies as ‘horror,’ but it’s certainly being lumped in with the Whatever-Mascot Horror Game of the Week genre. Which is a shame because My Friendly Neighborhood is leagues ahead of those other games. It has more in common with survival horror than it does with mascot horror in terms of gameplay and tropes. It’s literally just the ‘monster’ designs leading people to assume its another Poppy Playtime clone complete with half baked story and repetitive, unimaginative gameplay loops. And that’s so far from the truth -

My Friendly Neighborhood is like if Sesame Street and Resident Evil had a beautiful muppet baby that opened its eyes to have an existential crisis when confronted with the horrors and apathy of modern capitalism.

#ra speaks #personal #video games #mascot horror #survival horror #my friendly neighborhood #I’m not trying to be harsh on the mascot horror genre but let’s be real. a lot of those games aren’t made from genuine joy for the genre. #which is a shame because as MFN shows you CAN make a kid friendly horror game that CARES deeply about the message and story it has to tell. #a lot of ‘click bait’ video games these days aren’t…games. they’re walking simulators. at best a compilation of fetch quests w flavor text. #video games are an ART medium. what emotions are you trying to evoke. what are you trying to communicate beyond language. #its art that cannot exist without participation of the viewer and that participation needs to be considered as an active force. #the player is not passively turning the page they are writing the story the rules the world with you. but if there’s no genuine love for it #from the creator…what is there? what’s left when the player is a vehicle for YouTube jumpscare clickbait and not an integral piece of art? #I’m rambly today. sorry.

youtube stop recommending me that five hour long “fall of doctor who” video challenge. there is not a video i could be less interested in watching.

#the youtube clickbait hyperbole is not doing it any favors. im sure there’s nuance in the video. maybe. #god there must be its five hours long. #but i do not think i am interested in a video that wants to be about ‘the fall’ of doctor who when. far as i can tell. seems more like #occasionally it stumbles. and that’s about it. #AND thirteen being the doctor that’s on the thumbnail is also not helping. im sure im making assumptions there too and its just that she was #the current doctor at the time but. this is youtube. you have a negative video. and you put a woman on there. i am primed to believe you are #about to say something insanely sexist lmao. #anyway. whatever. #its a me thing. i dont like watching negative epic teardowns™️ of stuff im not finished with myself. and doubly so when im unfamiliar with #the creator and don’t know if they’ll just be stomping and yelling at something for hours with no purpose or if they’ve got. anything #to actually offer. idk. it’s the shovelware lover in me i think. im not interested in someone’s negative opinion about a thing unless i know #they’re the kind of person who can respect that people still had to put months or years of work into it. maybe that work did not have a #good outcome but someone had to do it. the effort is worth being documented and looked at and not. i don’t know. yelled at like you’re the #nostalgia critic you know? im rambling on to much here #this is why the only good youtube video is folding idea’s video on the american tail video game. he gets it. its about how bad art is still #worth existing and being examined. and doctor who is far from being bad. so. #………..where was i going with this. its 4 am.

fig faeth albums and why:

burn towns get money (single): only song that makes sense to have been created before sophomore year

significant figures (album): right after they get home from spring break. fig had all of those cooking i swear

their ep (EP): max casson’s spring break: i believe in you! playlist. while fabian’s dumping all of his gold in the finale part 2 fig says she has an ep in the works and i want to believe it’s this one. the title’s a double meaning: it’s for the bad kids but it also sounds like therapy so :D

walk through hell (album): in spring break part 2 lola talks about the archdevil tour and i’m choosing to believe it’s this one. there’s a lot of fire symbolism and phoenix stuff and fig going hey we’re a bit more traumatized, but they drag fabian and/or riz onstage for at least 1 concert and that’s where fig gets the idea for

significant figures 2.0 (album): BOP. BELOVED IT’S SO GREAT. they drag everyone to come sing their songs to at least one concert. fig sings hey kid disguised as Kalina and riz is sufficiently creeped out. it’s great.

titles (album): my beloved i will summon you into existence. i choose to believe until proven otherwise the night yorb is like. not as big a threat as it seems (think a lighter vokodo from critical role. not great but not bad) and they clear it out by winter break. the album gets released the day after fig’s birthday.

#The Bad Kids #fantasy high #fhsy #fig faeth #fig and the sig figs #dimension 20 #dimension twenty #I'VE THOUGHT SO MUCH ABOUT THIS YOU HAVE NO IDEA; #I COULD DESCRIBE EVERY SONG IN TITLES #ADKLFHAS;KLHDFJL #AND I HAVE THE SONG LIST FOR WALK THROUGH HELL #i want f+tsf to have albums that are just them but i'm also in love with all of the fanmade ones so they have to exist in canon #also if you're reading this! voicesout has a musical version of fantasy high that i can't weave into this but it's so good and it gives me #so much happiness #and go check all of these albums out! they're so cool! i would love to do what these creators do; they're amazing!!! alas i can only give #you titles album art and vibes :\
