#the only thing better than creating

When I hold a pencil, and make my marks on a page, the pencil is the tool, and the effort is mine.
Time, knowledge and practice, refine my marks in both form and function, and the edges of my mind stay sharp.
When I press AI to provide me marks, it takes the pencil from my hand and gives me facsimiles of others' efforts.
It erases my form and hands me guesses and half-truths, expecting I should appreciate mine own impending ignorance.
#quin muses#a friend of mine works in a place that's been pushing for people to use AI#I'm expecting to see a similar push at my own job#I intend to push back.#Everything I know how to do I learned by doing it#if I stop being the one to do it then I stop being the one that knows how#and to me#the only thing better than creating#is learning.#Why would I outsource either?

I will be perfectly honest, I somehow like every single detail about timebomb's lovestruck skins.
"It's all over the place", "too many clashing details", "seems like they couldn't choose what designs to put and then mixed them all together"
you see... that's exactly what I like about it.
IT'S SO THEM. AND THAT'S THE POINT.


the whole theme of "vibing, rocking, being in love 💞"
- leg warmers <--> jeans (we all joked about it at least once)
- Ekko now seems to sport the same side-bangs Jinx has
- spiky parts on their jackets are meant to form a heart


their accessories... oh... the way they match in all the little ways:
- Jinx's heart on her waist matches the heart Ekko has on his knee
- just like the heart on Jinx's left shoe matches the heart on Ekko's right shoe
- the cute round beads that imitate Jinx's second braid are also found on Ekko's pants... pants, on which he has very cute pins that may very sweetly parallel Jinx's jacket pins
- Jinx's half-a-heart necklace meant to form a heart with Ekko's half-a-heart knuckle accessory
#besides. the whole “mix all the designs ever created” thing is on brand for them since the beginning.#I still remember how in get jinxed anniversary vid fortiche shared that to their “which design we need to use for jinx's giant flying bomb?”#riot answered “yes” “what do you mean ”yes“???” “use all of them” and that's why we see jinx flying in the sky surrounded by different bombs#oh timebomb... they're literally an inseparable set#they complete the puzzle only when they're side by side#(and imo they do it better than you know the previous pair in lovestruck line)#timebomb#ekkojinx#league of legends#wild rift#arcane

idk but would you ever make c.ai bots of ur erik.. 😋😋 I'm just so nasty about him and NEED 2 get it out
do you wish to hurt me is that why youve sent this
to be perfectly blunt and clear: absolutely not. my artwork is to go absolutely no where near ai and to suggest otherwise makes me want to swallow glass
#snap chats#i like to think im pretty Come What May when it comes to things involving me but ai is one thing im firmly against#this is the only time im talking on ai my stance is clear here going forward thank you !!! i do not like ai.#im happy you like my erik and id be more than happy to talk bout him and share art of him#THAT is a proper way to show appreciation for what i do#or better yet i believe in your ability to write something. nothing works better for the soul than writing or creating#you can be a lot more concise and imaginative and creative and wild with writing as well theres total freedom to do what you want !!#truly please try writing something instead- you'd be surprised by how fun it can be#im not too good at writing but i do so for my comic scripts sometimes and its not the best but i enjoy it..

We’re totally getting Tommy saying something about Eddie ‘being around all the time’ aren’t we!
#and buck will try to tell Tommy that Eddie’s not in a great place right now#and Tommy will say yes but Evan we need time for just us and buck will agree#and he’ll start to stop inviting Eddie to everything#creating a distance between them#and Eddie will have his spiral about Catholicism and being gay#and buck will figure out that Tommy is Eddie lite and that actually that’s not what he wants#that he wants what he’s had with Eddie all along - family and home and having each others back#and he’ll never have that with Tommy#but eddie is straight so is it better to be with Tommy and try to make it work even if it’s not what he wants#meanwhile eddie will go to Texas as part of his journey - he’ll reunite with Chris and they will heal#and Eddie will come out#buck will miss Eddie while he’s gone and break things off with Tommy because it’s not what he wants and it’s not fair to lead Tommy on#Eddie and Chris come home and buck and Eddie fall back into what they were before only it’s slightly to the left - it’s more flirty and#the space that had grown between them is closed and they’re more in sync than ever before#and then something happens that leads to confessions and they get together#911 spoilers#eddie diaz#evan buckley#911 abc#anti bucktommy#buddie#Tommy is a plot device

Your art is so flipping pretty, and I just adore how you style all of the persona characters! But my question is, are there any other fandoms/works of art that you want to post or start rambling about? I hope you have a lovely day! (o゜▽゜)o☆

#personal#asks & requests#ok jokes over. ive drawn stuff for project sek/ai and danganrknpa on here before among a few other things#im not going to get into every anime i like but yknow. bochi. bakarin a. dunmesshi. recently wind breakr#big fan of ur turn to die and world ends with you#ive done a bit of art for in starts & time i will do more please go play it please please please#and ive been getting into umi neko lately!#[everything was spelled wrong on purpose as to not show up in search results]#but non persona things will be scarce on this blog. my love of this series is less special interest than full blown obsession LMAO#it takes so much time and energy to Create Things Im Proud Of its usually only persona delusions that get me thru it ever since Long Covid#fatigue is getting better though so maybe ill branch out more eventually! i rlly wanna draw beatrice umi/neko saaaur :3

why can’t my brain just. Move on. why can’t it stay moved on from things for longer than a week. I try so hard and yet I always end up sad again what is wrong with me why can’t my brain just knock it off I’m so tired of this.
#I finished new girl and it all went downhill#rewatching new girl helps#I know I need to like#change my living arrangements#that’s what I really want#but it’s easier said than done :/#why can’t I move on when other people seem fine#I don’t understand it#and ik my grief is concentrated in one area but it’s really about a lot of things#I just. I’m almost 25 I don’t know how to break free#what’s wrong with me#I have so few irl friends and no one who’d want to live with me#I feel like so often people only message me when they need something (mainly irls im talking about)#(irls who aren’t on tumblr !!!!)#I just want to be pursued more I’m so tired of pursuing#I did it so much I bled myself dry and for what#a year of mental health wasted#a fucked up perception of love and everything#safe spaces ruined forever#I’m just rambling now I need to go to sleep#but like I did therapy I read books I talked my head off I try and try I try all the things but nothing sticks#I create art and it helps for a little bit but the high always wears off#I should not have to meet new people to be better I can’t rely on people to fix myself I want to fix myself MYSELF#anyway#personal#vent#cadence rambles#and now I have CELIAC DISEASE YAY I’m half convinced my terrible mental health activated my celiac gene🥰#I’ll be ok I just#ugh. writing it out helps a little

Wanna know why I procrastinated on what is usually my favourite part of my English Literature assignment?
Because they want us to use ai.
In a degree where English Literature is one of my majors, they want us to use ai to write a poem.
What the hell is even that. I mean, really!? USE AI TO WRITE A POEM IN YOUR ENGLISH LIT ASSIGNMENT💀
Fortunately, we're only using it as a starting off point at best for our own poem, and then write an essay on how ours is better. Our lecturer hates it too so she's giving us more leniency than she ever would. But still!
And the AI part is only 3 marks.
I'm using something that is stealing other people's works and quite literally destroying the planet, for 3 marks🧍🏾♀️
#it's absurd in the worst way#people really think we don't like the process of writing#that it's just about the end “product”#even that word “product” makes me wanna gag#its art#it is a art form#and people enjoy creating art#not everyone - but some things aren't for everyone#that doesn't mean the people who don't enjoy the process at all should jump on the train of an already undervalued skill#and profit off of the words that other people composed!? where they left pieces of themselves and their hearts and their minds and-#WHEW lemme stop#anyway the poem is done and it's a million times better than the vague nothingness that chatgpt regurgitated#it was a little difficult at first because I'm technically only South African by nationality than ethnicity#I'm not as connected to everything that's happened#but I'm living in the aftermath so I've got enough for there to be a little connection there#I clearly have a lot to say about it so this essay will be done in 2 hours tops#if I could just write off the dome? I'd be done right this very second#and thats mostly because of the referencing#chichi.txt

Hhh anyways.... Thinks abt Spundle and how she barely remembers anything abt her childhood and throws myself down the stairs and
#THINKING ABT BABY HER RECENTLY..........#I think she'd always have memory problems (Delilah creating her with said memory problems) cuz its part of her character#Tho i think as a kid she'd have a MUCH better memory... Tho nowadays she can't keep anything for more than a few days...#The only things she remembers from her childhood r her baths and roughhousing (some of it)#She doesn't even remember her toon handler's face...#oc: spundle#text#text post

@trainto1925 and now u got ME thinkin!!!
wondering when eiden would have gotten good enough at plushie making to create his entire harem in doll form. ...possibly around the time blade showed up. eiden got a lot of practice making thousands of Eiden Plushies as gifts 🤣
imagining how eiden starts to do a lot of impromptu "visualisation" exercises when blade joins the roster
BLADE: but why was lil yakumo embarrassed when i showed garugaru the box in front of-- EIDEN: (sighing goodnaturedly) ok, say..um *grabs the nearest two items* pretend this cup is garu, and this spoon is yakumo---
after some repetition, eiden wonders if blade will understand better if he just has dolls representing everyone thus begins the plushie brigade
#i will assume that eiden makes the dolls in chronological order of meeting#so yakumo is one of his first dolls? maybe the dante doll is actually BETTER than the yakudoll technique-wise?#by the time dante joins the party#eiden has practised many diff forms of clan member so the creation is more streamlined#but also if we consider the millions of eiden dolls he's already made for blade 😅...#then all his lil clan members are around the same quality regardless of when they were made#eiden respectfully putting his best into every doll. trying to capture the unique charm of each person...#BUT THE GREAT THING ABOUT BLADE IS THAT HE CAN INTERRUPT AT ANY MOMENT#so imagine. that blade catches eiden making the clan member dolls#and he asks why?? and eiden explains that it might be easier for blade to visualise interactions with actual clan member plushies#than randomly assigned objects that happen to be lying around#of course blade gets excited#and he wants to help!! he wants to help Darling make cute little versions of his fave people!!!!#sooooooooo blade will get to make plushies of the clan members eiden hasn't made yet#so it is fully within the realm of possibility#that the itty bitty clan committee comprises adorable perfect lil chibis resembling their namesakes#AND Darling-statue-esque avatars of only the faintest resemblance#imagine that eiden (ever the speedy worker) actually created every clan member up to blade#before blade decides to join the assembly line#so Lord Jackass is the only blade-made doll of the collection (at least until rei joins)#dante could walk in on eiden trying to explain a complicated group scenario to blade (with the plushies of course)#and when he sees how every lil guy is normal except for HIS? ohhhhhhhhhhhohohohohohoho#i'm having a hearty chyuckle about it as we speak#replies

Happy birthday ritsuka uenoyama the entirety of given DOSENT DESERVE U AT ALL
#the narrative the characters the fandom and kizu should be ashamed of themselves ngl#the way you gave your VERY ALL to save mafuyu at his darkest being there at his lowest helping him to find light again#even if you think you are no better than the other even when you dont know his whole story even if you feel no better than his first#you still gave your very best for him by finishing his deceased lover's song and sang it for him#only for your character arc your development your issues insecurities and trauma to be ignored shunned and discredited#your lover was your first but you knew you weren't his first#you knew he loved someone way before you and now that he's gone your lover still clutched on to the past#but you helped him moved on from the darkness and give him the light through music#you ended up filling the void he left for your lover and everyone else only for you to become a shadow of him#the fact that you a main character is constantly set aside and had no character arc whatsoever just to make way for a deceased lover#you are often demonized and hated and told that his lover and his previous lover should've been together and he would choose him over you#and when you asked him one thing he then ignored you and you tired to reach out to him only for them to blame you as you are the problem#seeing you often makes me sad because you did SO MUCH of the story and the narrative would just trash you out#but when someone calls out that you deserved better the same people will stake them saying that you dont undertand the narrative at all#if they cant appreciate your efforts just because you are not him then i would#if you were my oc i would give u the amount of love they never gave#if you were my oc i would develop and expand your character arc so that i would know you better and your ambitions#if you were my oc i would make sure you would be as loved as everyone else#and if you were my oc i would create someone to love you understand your troubles and appreciate you efforts way more than your lover could#the fandom may love a previous lover he loved but you ritsuka uenoyama shall be mine#dont mind the corny ass tags i just feel like it lmfao#uenoyama deserves better#uenoyama ritsuka#ritsuka uenoyama#given#given manga#given anime#bl animanga

Not going to lie, I think the worst thing you can do to your narrative is build up to something and then not deliver it. It just devalues the rest of your story and leaves people going, “Then what was even the point of introducing this???”
#we created a world where a spell maintains the status quo#and not only does that spell actively harm some the oppressed residents of this world#it also is powered of the life force of living beings#veilguard critical#if you’re going to introduce prophecies and ancient beings having centuries-long machinations in the background#only to at the end go ‘oooop no’ we didn’t actually mean any of that#and expect people to go ‘oh yeah no we totally get it!’#and not ‘wait what??’#you’re going to have to work much harder than Veilguard did to create a satisfying narrative to fill in the reasons why those things#did not come to pass#and definitely better than ‘oh actually this ancient being asking for a reckoning to shake the very heavens#wasn’t actually asking for a reckoning to shake the very heavens’#in fact she wanted the complete opposite#and doesn’t want to preserve the old ways#lol our bad#the chant of light?#i don’t know her#Sandal? who?#BioWare was like#and the narrative ends up being “this is a good thing actually” this is how the world should be#even though the three previous games were all leading narratively to a—perhaps cataclysmic—change#but a change that the narrative warranted#because you know#the prophecies#and the narrative threads#god this game was so unsatisfying in that regard#and many others but this is not the post for that

the thing is I do quite like individual stephen moffat episodes, I think they're good episodes. they get less good when you start to see patterns of writing and how he has a tendency of beating a dead horse + ongoing sexism which may be missed in one episode, but becomes very clear through repetition, but if one considers them as one-offs they're Neat bits of writing. it's when he tries to make it longform that it all falls to pieces for me and reverberates back. his lore is a mess and consequently so are his characters if one spends more than an episode or two with them.
#anti moffat#im rewatching doctor who#the measurement#we're at silence of the library and meeting river song#and she's quite a different character to who she becomes later in the show but already got some Stuff that rubs me the wrong way#i would call this moffat's issue with creating someone 'worthy' of the doctor#he talked about that before in terms of madame de pompadour#and so river song Has to become The most interesting most badass most capable most witty most knowledgeable etcetc#has to know everything about the doctor that nobody else knows + have all the same adventures as the other companions#so it's no longer their adventures with the doctor and their stories - she's shoved on top of them to be better than all of them#so none of them were worthy enough -- not compared to her. and then ofc later on she's part timelord as well to really hammer it home#unfortunately river song on the show never worked for me#she ticks every box of things i dont like about moffat's writing and it only becomes moreso as the show continues#but maybe in the audio dramas where she's got more personality -- i have been curious about it

It’s interesting that Absolute Being is a literal god not bound by rules or limitations.
But then all that untamed divinity and power resides in fragile human body.
Jinchul, after completely embracing his predicament and becoming a true successor to AB, in theory can do everything AB was capable of.
The only issue is that his body isn’t built for such things. So pretty much the more stuff he does/makes with his power fucks up with universe’s ‘laws’ and entire existence the more taxing it is on him mentally and physically.
There’s literally several instances Jinchul was ready to do something really serious that could’ve almost if not completely killed him and Jinwoo literally needed to restrain him while unholy screeching inside because nO CHIEF WOO YOU’RE NOT SACRIFICING YOURSELF TODAY NOT LIKE THAT—
/Jinwoo and remains of Ashborn in him literally yelling inside, Ashborn is literally an inner indicator when Jinchul is about to cast something beyond what his human body can take and Jinwoo just instantly nyooms here because no, he’s definitely not doing this on his watch
#solo leveling#woo jin chul#sung jin woo#chulwoo#things are getting so bad jinchul literally needed to preform miracle and it was insanely taxing on him#jinwoo had an existential crisis later realizing that he’s extremely powerful yet it’s not enough#jinwoo getting a realization that no matter how powerful he is there’s things that can only be managed by a literal god#he saw how wrecked and how jinchul had a near death experience after creating a miracle and saving their asses#corpses looked better than jinchul on hospital bed with barely beating heart
