woke up this morning with a strong vision of a taz balance au that is literally the same as canon but the umbrastaff is instead this umbrella hat
i could not decide if this would take the place of taako's wizard hat or if he'd put the wizard hat over/under it. both options are hilarious
Image description: an umbrella-shaped hat with green, blue, red, and yellow segments, attached to a black headband that rests atop a mannequin's head. End description.

want to give my two cents on the AI usage in the maestro trailer--
i think seventeen doing a whole concept that is anti-AI is very cool, especially as creatives themselves i think it's good that they're speaking up against it and i hope it gets more ppl talking about the issue. i also understand on a surface level the artistic choice (whether it was made by the members, the mv director, or whoever else), to directly use AI in contrast to real, human-made visuals and music in order to criticize it. i also appreciate that they clearly stated the intention of the use of AI at the beginning of the video
however, although i understand it to an extent, i do not agree with the choice to use AI to critique AI. one of the main ethical concerns with generative AI is that it is trained on other artists' work without their knowledge, consent, or compensation. and even when AI generated images are being used to critique AI, it still does not negate this particular ethical concern
the use of AI to critique also does not negate the fact that this is work that could have been done by an actual artist. i have seen some people argue that it's okay in this context because it's a critique specifically about AI, and it is content that never would have been done by a real artist anyway because it doesn't make sense for the story they're trying to tell. but i disagree. i think you can still tell the exact same story without using AI
and in fact, i would argue that it would make the anti-AI message stronger if they HAD paid an artist to draw/animate the scenes that are supposed to represent AI generated images. wouldn't it just be proof that humans can create images that are just as bad and nonsensical and soulless as AI, but that AI can't replicate the creativity and beauty and basic fucking anatomy that's in human-made art?
it feels very obvious this was not just a way to cut corners and costs like a lot of scummy people are using AI for. ultimately it was a very intentional creative decision, i just personally think it was a very poor one. and even if some ethical considerations were taken into account before this decision, i certainly don't think all of them were. at the very least i feel like the decision undermines the message they want to convey
i would also like to recognize that i myself am not an artist, and i have seen some artists that are totally on board with the use of AI in this specific context, so clearly this is not a topic that is cut and dry. but generative AI is still new, and i think it's important to keep having these conversations

Whising on dandelions
A little wish from your heart 💞🌿
mini pick a card
pile 1 (the tea) > pile 2 (the shoes)
pile 3 (the book) > pile 4 (the bag)
Pile 1) ace of cups. fullness. I want to feel what is complete in my life. "I have myself, a friend, a life to live, a roof over my head, a job/school, something or someone I love, a passion that keeps me going, spirituality."
Pile 2) 8 of wands. I want to wake up, rise up, change my life. end a karmic cycle. leave what weighs me down. I want to keep young like a baby. channeled song:
_
Pile 3) hermit. I want a guide, I want to find my peace. I want something or someone to follow and learn from on this new path. I want to learn how to ask for help and/or help myself better with my everyday needs.
Pile 4) 10 of wands. I don't want to feel defeated. my inner child was often ridiculed, I don't want to treat myself badly. I don't want to have destructive thoughts. I don't want to think badly of myself at all times. I want to value myself and give myself the peace I so deserve.
peace and love,
pinksobg. 💞🌿💐⛅

2 am and my npmd rotted brain is even more incoherent than usual but like... max explicitly saying that he views grace as "forbidden fruit", and while not said out loud, that is clearly also how grace views max... in christian doctrine, adam and eve ate the forbidden fruit and became sinful and unintentionally doomed the rest of humanity with original sin... grace having sex with max, tasting her forbidden fruit and becoming sinful and taking it upon herself to doom the rest of sinful humanity (well, dirty dudes, but she clearly doesn't have extreme qualifications for who could deserve that title)
