I was scrolling through the comments while listening to this really relaxing bass video, and someone said that their baby kicked a lot whenever they listened to that song, and like... oh man, I’m getting so emotional right now. It’s from 6 years ago, but it’s so weird cuz like... the song itself is kind of relaxing but a little bittersweet, and like... six years is a long time (to me), but the baby is probably five or six now, which isn’t that old, and like... oh man people really do just connect like that, don’t they? Like people have those down-time moments where they’re bonding with their kids or friends and like... those moments just happen. And they’re sweet. And time isn’t so brief when it’s filled with things like that.

#man im crying now (in a good way) #sometimes the internet is a good thing #i have been feeling kind of cynical/jaded/disconnected and like... this one thing really just hit me so hard (in the best way) #we're all just people on a rock in space trying to enjoy the time we have #man #sonder #humans #bass #oh also #pregnancy #in case anyone has blocked the tag <3 #bc man pregnancy--specifically the thought of being pregnant--usually makes me so uncomfortable #like ew there's a creature growing inside of you and you're stuck with it for 20 years and you better not fuck up #bc like that's gonna be a human yk #but actually this specific comment and this specific song has like... kind of assuaged my general discomfort around pregnancy #like there are things that are good abt it #idk #i am very emotional can you tell #dante dicit #this is such a weird post #man im actually about to just start sobbing #(in a good way)

They're just different flavors of the same guy

wip. the visceral urge to give every character the cuntiest eyelashes won out 2day

#angel dust #hazbin hotel #ur getting a closeup here bc i think like. most of these details will Nawt be visible in the final version #ur gonna have 2 put up w me drawing humans 4 a bit until i can figure out a style that works for hazbin lmaO #im testing some stuff out now but it's so hardddddddd #my most special little guy <3 #.odeum #i should draw the other characters. i do not want to hwoever. i am obsessed but im self aware so it's ok yk #thnak u cunty 70's rock for getting me thru this. comfortably numb this ones 4 u

i think your hat post is really cool and interesting but susan’s hat is a cat and i will die on this hill

this is true!!! when i was talking about the modern human hats not resembling animals i meant all of these ones

(excluding the minerva-bots and finn of course)

#wait. wait. i just thought something #finn wearing his bear hat -> bc it makes him feel connected to the humans #and martin & the hiders (that old woman with the tiger at least) not wearing hats bc they don't feel that personal connection w/ the island #ok this is so obvious but i just think comparing and contrasting finn and martin is so interesting #but i don't think martin really was a hider. i don't think he felt particularly connected to any ideology or viewpoint in particular #he's a floater #yk #martin is so interesting #i dont like the amnesia theory or whatever (that martin also lost his memory in some capacity) #like to me its just that. he was able to commit enough to start a family but not committed enough to go back to them #after being seperated & having freedom #& he just super duper avoids thinking about it bc it makes him feel guilty. but not guilty enough to do anything about it #like when he said he doesn't like thinking about minerva cause it stresses him out that doesn't come across as 'can't remember' #it very much comes across as 'nah im not gonna expend energy into thinking about something emotionally difficult' #like if he actually tried to be a dad to finn he'd have to face all the time he spent not looking for him. instd of just avoiding it all #like where's the fun in making him less Complicated. you know? #whenever finn is in the vicinity martin's always tryna get out of there as fast as possible 😭 #i guess that could also just be seen as him trying to avoid the consequences of his actions (like when he's worried finns gonna try to rip #his arm off lmao) but i personally interpret it all as a guilt thing too #none of this is related to the ask but yea 🫣

idk ive been getting more sad lately about being excluded from stuff not having friends ik this is just the commuter's life or whatever but im still bummed. like i cant go to parties still i dont do any sort of drugs so the ways to connect w ppl are so limited :(

#p #my mau/al group is nice i like them. they're fun and we hang out but idk if there are lasting friendships there. and when that ends what am #i supposed to do. i keep trying to find friends and im not finding any and i am just really tired of not knowing people and not having ppl #to talk to. #bf keeps trying to comfort me abt this but like anyone living on campus doesnt get it like yall HAVE the option i straight up DO NOT. #feelings have been way more overwhelming lately like i punched a really big rock (brick?) yesterday. only reason i didnt do it again today #was bc i was fasting. idk. idk idk idk im really tired #alhamdullilah in any case. i must keep this in mind #on the bright side im trying to get my life together a bit and be more put together. gonna try working out every day before suhoor if able #im picking up crafting again slowly but surely. gonna start reading again. gonna learn some code and make a site i have something specific #in mind. gonna start finding places to go even if alone. yk 2024 the year hizu becomes a human person

I've seen some ppl mention the hypothetical "Lar is a Jiang sibling" idea and I decided to draw how I think he might look if he were indeed a Jiang sibling. his silly markings are like. Tattoos he got from Merlopia bc Bentho.

#theres also a doodle of his epic royal non-human partners bentho n vania just cus #I've decided wavecloud exists and Im gonna draw it some day... #ninjago #raine's art #lar ninjago #ninjago lar #lar jiang #<- tagging him as that bc like. yk. hes a hypothetical jiang and whatnot?

oughg

vp asked me how i was on a personal level during a call today, like actually Checking In (maybe it's because i've been more scattered/frazzled lately and i said i have been overwhelmed), and i froze, staring into the webcam like

"not great"

#i felt so pathetic LMFAOO #i told her i'd rather not let personal stuff bleed into work #(even though deep down i'm hyperventilating bc its been affecting my performance) #and she was like you're not a robot you're a human #and it was sweet but im still generally terrified 24/7 #but she would still like to chat w me tomorrow #and id be mortified if i said something too personal/unprofessional so im just gonna have to be like '🧍‍♀️ challenges. family. things. yk!' #(((please give me a raise!! im dying!! im dying!!!))))) #i had 4-4.5 hrs of meetings every day for this past week. it happens to a lot of us but it's just insane rn. #but i have projects piling up. #and if i'm not working i'm either crying sleeping or puking up lunch LMAO #we had some restructuring lately and she was one of my supervisors now she's not #but we still have to check in re: projects in her dept #and we both want me to be reporting to her again so bad LMAO #xangoeswah

[catboybrain]

fascinating to see the yters i grew up with slowing leaving the spotlight. less sad than i thought i'd be?

#love matpat :o) as much as i was like oh im not as hyped about his theories versus someone like john fuhnaff atp hes still like an uncle to #me like a family friend uncle ur dad knew in college yk #but its kinda.. sweet. like nice yk that like matt and jerma and even mark are all sort of winding down and finding more creative stuff to #work on and shifting away from just interacting with other peoples media #its super human it feels like theyre sort of learning how to be an artist idk. just makes me feel happy for them being there and getting to #see them go and do whats gonna make them happy too #d.txt #kind of a dumb thought ig bc its like yters its not like i know them or anything blol but still . kinship ig .. empath moment

i want to be a machine learning engineer but some of u guys r making it embarrassing actually. long but IMO important explanation below. We have bigger issues to deal w and better things to focus on.

like our planet is dying and the commercialisation of massive AI models and training the models themselves releases like hundreds of thousands of tonnes of carbon emissions. and this includes very "nonessential" models that don't tend to contribute much to society (re: new fancy image generation toy). but u have decided your new career path is "AI artist" (glorified prompt-writer?) .

and just as bad, some of you have decided the biggest issue w AI is those people, the glorified prompt writers!! you draw more attention to it instead of focusing on the real problems behind AI and the ethics of training models! about the harm it causes to the planet, about web-scraping limitations basically not existing (stolen art falls under this domain), copyright laws to do with AI, the way facial recognition deals with race, about the boundaries between letting AI learn and develop in an "unbiased" way vs preventing sociopolitical damage at the cost of (potentially) further progress.

conversely, there is nowhere NEAR enough focus about how AI can help us overcome some of our fundamental problems. i love machine learning bc i find it - specifically the maths behind it - fascinating and i believe one day it could help us make very cool advancements, as it already has. i think the mathematical architectures and processes behind creating new deep learning models are beautiful. i also know the damage capitalists will inevitably do - they always wield powerful, beautiful new tools as weapons.

AND HERE YOU ARE FALLING FOR IT! it's very frustrating to watch!! if you're angry on behalf of artists, i'm begging you to protect the rights of artists and be mad at greedy companies instead of villanising a tool that can help us immensely! learn about AI ethics, learn about how it is present in our lives, what we should try to stop, what we should promote.

if you "boycott AI" as a whole with no desire to gain more literacy on the topic other than "steals art therefore bad", you will have to be against your translate app, your search engine, your email spam filter, almost everything on your phone that categorises anything (i.e. pretty much all of your search functions), NPC enemies in games, your medical diagnostic tools, your phone's face unlock, your maps app, online banking, accessibility tools that help blind and deaf people, new advancements in genetic sequencing and protein folding and treating cancer and modelling new solutions in physics and so on and so on.

the issue isn't all AI as a whole. the issue is A) how companies are using it and B) how a lot of you guys are getting mad at the concept of AI instead of responding to A.

#lol anyway #u guys r like protect artists rights and then proceed to do 0 research on how #without doing damage to humanity as a whole #and actually tbh a lot of artists contribute to this as well. like i was following a few ppl who had their art ripped off (this must be #horrible and harrowing and i can't imagine how bad the experience must be) and they responded by being like #AI IS EVIL!!! NEVER SUPPORT AI!! which is literally ! meaningless!!! #think about it kind of like nuclear physics. it can help us immensely #it can teach us a lot about the universe and it can help us w finding wonderful new sources of energy. it can be beautiful and fascinating #and it can also be utilised in a very dangerous way. once it is used in a dangerous way (as it has been) you probably wont start blaming #The Concept Of Nuclear Physics. like im gonna guess you guys don't boycott gamma rays or nuclear fission bc someone made an atomic bomb yk #maybe this analogy got out of hand 💀 but you get what i mean #AI #ai art #idk how to tag this lol #anyway #listen to artists but also listen to actual AI experts i am BEGGING U

no greater joy than seeing someone leaving a bunch of likes while they're going through mattodore's couple and character tags

#river dipping #i'm in my activity feed atm trying to catch up and make sure i don't miss any replies or mentions from when i was gone #yk mental illinois is crazy bc i avoid things bc it feels like interpersonal interaction is just Too Much for my brain #but when i come back to it i'm always just kicking my feet and smiling like oh yeah isolating is actually the opposite of good for you #and human connection and community is literally what life is aboutttttttttt jdfkghdnjghkn <3 #all this is to say that i rlly like it here :) #i think i'm done going thru everything tho... #so i'm gonna post these mattodore edits and then i gotta hop in the shower and message my friend and then it's catch up time #i'm already excited for the legacy updates i get to read 😋 #luca and adrien come hereeeeeee

no more "i don't see your flaws". i do see your flaws and i'm telling you it doesn't matter and i love you anyway

#something i've noticed on a lot of those cutesy posts is being like 'my partner is so perfect they could never do anything wrong' #and like. i get it ik what's meant by that and it's okay to be like my partner is perfect #but i feel like some of them genuinely believe that their partner can do no wrong which is an unfair standard to hold them to #and an unrealistic expectation #ur partner is human. they're gonna make mistakes there will be times when they get things wrong. there will be times when u get things wron #that's just life yk like can we stop doing the whole 'my partner is a flawless being who can never make mistakes' thing #also something much more loving is 'you acknowledge your flaws and i'm proud of you for trying to improve' #rather than lalala not listening noooo you don't have flaws!!!! YKNOW???? like it feels almost invalidating to view someone as flawless #that said. i will continue to call my gf the most perfect flawless sweetest little thing forever and always #rbs off bc ed mfs keep rbing and i'm in recovery lol y'all need to stay in your lane and stop rbing content from random fucking blogs #please give a shit about triggering people and rb from other ed blogs bc you're exposing recovered bitches to your gross shit ✌

i'm tired of drawing generic ghouls. we are moving on to designing the specific band ghouls. who's shitting their pants in excitement abt it (me)

#obviously i have ALREADY designed omega. long ago. obviously #i am feeling a calling to the current ghouls rn. ghoulettes especially #like obviously the dream is to draw all the meliora-to-current-era ghouls eventually buuuuut. ya know. ya girl's got exams #and limited energy #speaking of energy guess who got her energu drinks fill today at the store. so maybe #not TODAY but in the near future. between studying. yea #like i'm just. i just wanna draw dewdrop #it is tumblr user coreyvoss's fault and maybe like marginally blix #priorities are ghoulettes INCLUDING MIST!!!! dewdrop aether swiss alpha #i have in mind like. they got their fully creecher lookin forms the very goat type. a fully human Disguise that is not going to look like #the human musicians that play as the ghouls tho. maybe just barely if what they look like Speaks to me but the idea is to have 5% max yk #like. i'm taking per's and mad gallica's hair and that's it type of deal #and THEN i have assigned them a bonus form that is some sort of mix of the human and demon forms simply bc i thought it would be #fun to design. there is no good reason like. in universe for a form like this to exist #i just KNOW it's gonna be a blast to design tho :) i still have to work out what it lools like but it'll be probably like. #just human w weird skintone&eyecolor + horns or smth. you know the type #that half assed demon bullshit you know the type. i will have a blast #obviously i'm designing the specific band ghouls in This <- form i just mentioned ofc obv ofc tbh ofc lbr irl #cool. i'm excited #oh nay

#@two anon #about louis! #I'm sorry I'm gonna just answer you in tags bc I dont have proper time to give elaborated or keep up with anons #but I just simply dont agree #I think the fact that H and L created this unspoken trust between and their fans #that their concert are safe and welcoming for queer people to exist and have their flags up and theur rainbows up is something beautiful to #see #louis' tour been amazing #more than 170 shows and rainbows never lacked one show #the fact that he created a safe place for his community is absolutely great #I dont feel like I'm in a position to be demanding anything I'm happy with whatever they (queer people themselves) are happy to share w us #I just think we should stop for a moment and think of these two as actual human beings that have to venture some stuff on their own #and we can have zero idea how they deal with that and how they feel about that yk

You know your country's turning into a dictatorship when you want to write about the recent shit your prime ministers been up to but you're scared you'll disappear yhe way so many journalists have done in the past 5 years he's been in power

#whoops thats not free speech is it #hed love to get rid of people like me who see through his bullshit and have the ability to call him on it #only im fucking scared bc of the number of 'suicides' that have happened after someones brought attention to it #oh yeah this country doesnt care about religion but were going to make it so hard for christians and muslims #oh yeah this country has a lot of politics but most of your politicians will revere hitler #oh politicians serve the people but they have the most black money in the country #oh free speech is a human right but speak too freely and youll disappear #i need to leave before it becomes a fucking police state #although police are so useless here if it was a police state theyd just stand around drinking tea #a police state in this country would just be an eternal lunch break #no it would turn into a dictatorship which is honestly worse #bc itll be a very belarusian dictatorship where the working class is happy and its not unstable but therell still be complete control #over all the citizens #anyway #fuck this #im just angry ig #whatever this too shall pass whatever im gonna do my best to not get caught up in all this shit #its fine ill be fine but yk i cant say any of this out loud or ill disappear but its fine #bit depressing tbh #idk man im not a revolutionary im just gonna focus on making it thru college pfft

#this is just ranting for ranting’s sake #yk something that really bothers me about today’s society ? is that we have all this research on stuff like new phones and robots and space #travel amd microchips and stuff like that #and it’s just maddening bcs all that does not help human beings at all and actual helpful stuff has no funding #like who tf is gonna be better off bcs we invented a chip that lets us use social media with our mind . WHO #and robot research is bloody counterproductive bcs all it does is take jobs away from people so prices continue to rise while employment #goes down like if they introduce self restaurants everywhere ppl are no longer gonna be able to find jobs as waiters and since no one wants #to hire these days so many more ppl are gonna be out of jobs #and dont even get me started on space travel . why the heck are we trying to go to mars instead of idk bettering earth ? maybe we should fix #our problems here before going somewhere else #like why is medical research so underfunded when all that useless research is swimming in money !!!!!!!!!! #who gives a crap about the iphone 65 find a cure for cancer !!!!!!! or for me !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #anw i think we should abolish engineering and ppl like quantum physicists if ur smart u should do something useful like medicine #the enemy are still econ majors dont get me wrong but to me those are no 2 #anw i need to become superrich to give money to medical research
