Honestly I can tell you finding out art was made by AI really does immediately, legitimately sour it for me, like people will trot this out as a Gotcha for anti-AI people but it's just making it clear they don't consider art to be the conversation that it is lol. It's similar to the way Harry Potter immediately soured for me because engaging with it while knowing the kind of heart Rowling is writing from changes the way the work feels; there isn't any moralizing or whatever that I have to do, it's easy to drop it because it's rotted in my hands.

"Oh but you LIKED this song before, nothing changed!" The conversational partner did. A very large portion of what is interesting to me about art is thinking of why the creator chose that instrumentation, or what made them want to make the thing in the first place. Finding out I've been talking to a wall completely removes an entire third of the force that art is to me, and I can't argue that anything about art or its consumption is Objectively Correct but I can argue it's fucking boring lmao

Listen, I love the "XL helps HC to see how beautiful he is" scenario as much as the next person... But I also see it like this.

It still fascinates me how DJ is short for Disc Jockey, as if to ride the waves of music like a stallion

need more fics where Jason is told by one of the batfam that they're "Happy he's alive" and he either stares blankly at them or his eyes well with tears he can't control and before he can stop himself he's like "What?" and it sounds like a whisper, like he's positive he misheard. and the family member repeats themselves, feeling suddenly like they've stepped onto a landmine. and then-

"no one's said that to me. since i've been back." and Jason doesn't mean to say it, but he hadn't really realized it himself until that moment and it feels like his chest is cracking open where he stands, and his eyelashes feel clumpy, and his throat has a stone pushing up against his vocal chords.

Some subconscious part of him has always felt it-- has been aware he's never been told directly that anyone is happy he's alive and back... but now it's out there in the world, and he realizes he's been waiting on it for years. He's been waiting to be told that someone is happy he's alive. He wonders, briefly, if those words might have fixed everything in the early days. If he had just felt like Bruce wanted him back, if he had just felt that Bruce didn't see him as some cosmic mistake wearing the face of his dead son... would it have changed anything? He doesn't know. doesn't know if he wants to know.

because it didn't happen. the words were never said.

until now.

"no one?" the family member asks in dawning horror.

and the silence that follows is deafening.

the scene people keep screaming about from chapter 5 of theseus' guide

橋本さんは「不真面目な高校生でしたよ。校則がなく、髪型もパーマをかけようが自由。遅刻もしょっちゅうで、そのうち1時間目の授業には行かなくなっていました」と振り返る。

札幌南高校は、北海道有数の男女共学の進学校だ。1895年に開校し、多くの卒業生が政財官や学術など多方面で活躍している。そして「自主自律」の精神のもと、制服はなく、自由な校風で知られている。橋本さんは、そんな校風を存分に利用した。

「朝、行ってきますと言って家を出て、1、2時間目の間は、だいたい狸小路（札幌中心部の商店街）の喫茶店に仲間とたまっていました。そして放課後になると、ススキノに行って…不適切にもほどがあって、今は言えない（笑）」

Being bounced on his cock while he refuses to let me do any of the work ‘cause I’m his handsome puppy…him cooing at me to let him take care of me while I just melt into his grasp…him telling me I’m a good boy while he pumps another load into me…

Leo learns something about himself 🏳️‍⚧️

Based roughly on this old post.

Bonus:

[Leo is taking the fact that he was born biologically female simultaneously very well and also not so well but overall he’s mostly coping with the fact that it was Draxum that just essentially gave him the turtle equivalent of ‘The Talk’.]

Being a “Fun Fact !” kind of autistic is all fun and games until you get halfway through sharing an interesting tidbit and realize that it probably wasn’t appropriate to share in polite company and now you have to deal with the consequences :(
