As cameras becomes more normalized (Sarah Bernhardt encouraging it, grifters on the rise, young artists using it), I wanna express how I will never turn to it because it fundamentally bores me to my core. There is no reason for me to want to use cameras because I will never want to give up my autonomy in creating art. I never want to become reliant on an inhuman object for expression, least of all if that object is created and controlled by manufacturing companies. I paint not because I want a painting but because I love the process of painting. So even in a future where everyone’s accepted it, I’m never gonna sway on this.
if i have to explain to you that using a camera to take a picture is not the same as using generative ai to generate an image then you are a fucking moron.
#ask me#anon#no more patience for this#i've heard this for the past 2 years#“an object created and controlled by companies” anon the company cannot barge into your home and take your camera away#or randomly change how it works on a whim. you OWN the camera that's the whole POINT#the entire point of a camera is that i can control it and my body to produce art. photography is one of the most PHYSICAL forms of artmakin#you have to communicate with your space and subjects and be conscious of your position in a physical world.#that's what makes a camera a tool. generative ai (if used wholesale) is not a tool because it's not an implement that helps you#do a task. it just does the task for you. you wouldn't call a microwave a “tool”#but most importantly a camera captures a REPRESENTATION of reality. it captures a specific irreproducible moment and all its data#read Roland Barthes: Studium & Punctum#generative ai creates an algorithmic IMITATION of reality. it isn't truth. it's the average of truths.#while conceptually that's interesting (if we wanna get into media theory) but that alone should tell you why a camera and ai aren't the sam#ai is incomparable to all previous mediums of art because no medium has ever solely relied on generative automation for its creation#no medium of art has also been so thoroughly constructed to be merged into online digital surveillance capitalism#so reliant on the collection and commodification of personal information for production#if you think using a camera is “automation” you have worms in your brain and you need to see a doctor#if you continue to deny that ai is an apparatus of tech capitalism and is being weaponized against you the consumer you're delusional#the fact that SO many tumblr lefists are ready to defend ai while talking about smashing the surveillance state is baffling to me#and their defense is always “well i don't engage in systems that would make me vulnerable to ai so if you own an apple phone that's on you”#you aren't a communist you're just self-centered

More "Nothing Out Of Ordinary AU" art, but this time we got purely the adults in the '80s! or the "Golden" Age, as I take to call it.
...and also INTRODUCING;
Emma-May Dixon: The Evolutionary, another mad scientist in town. She specialized in mutation, genetic modification, and beast-control tech. Fiddleford's beloved (on-again, off-again) wife, and one of the Spectator's villains (their third divorce argument completely destroyed the downtown area. They will remarry later.)
Bronzemoon and I had so much fun coming up with their details. The lore goes deep and I can't wait to draw them more!

"Imagine what happens when a dictator gets access to a time window or a transduction drive. Our technology would tear the world apart."
Yeah, so maybe you... shouldn't have those either?

Voyeur!Luo Binghe putting up cameras in Liu Qingge's places. Everywhere so he can watch him at any angle. Especially when men come over and fuck Liu Qingge. Watching how they bend him over the couch and the kitchen table and bathroom. Leaving him a mess anywhere and allowing Luo Binghe to savor the sight of Liu Qingge having to clean himself up.
Then going to visit him and showing him ALL the videos of him getting fucked. While fucking him. Really making sure Liu Qingge knows that he enjoys being fucked, and watched, and fucking while watching himself get fucked. Leaving less and less thoughts in his head with the games Luo Binghe is playing like this.

Because writing 10k words a day is not sustainable and he's gotten enough flake (from Peerless cucumber about his worldbuilding going downhill in favor of papapa content), Shang Qinghua makes a wild decision.
He tries his hand at making short form video content.
His first video starts off simple: "A day in the life of a webnovel author" and "POV of an author's keyboard".
It gets like 9 views. Total.
Shang Qinghua keeps at it, but it never really takes off. He keeps posting because what it something does go viral? But his attempts get weaker and weaker and it eventually just becomes shitposts where he films something random for 10 seconds and immediately hits "post", no editing or captions at all.
So when a strange man falls into his apartment through a portal while he's got his camera rolling for his shit post of the day, he doesn't think before his hand, born out of instincts, hits that "post" button. He's a little too busy to be freaking out about the fact that this?? is?? Mobei Jun?? in?? his?? shitty little apartment to remember that he got interrupted while filming (and that he already posted it).
But by the time he does remember, it's too late.
Of course this is the one video that goes viral with 8.2 million views and the top comment has 824k likes.
It's from his biggest anti-fan too.
"WTF do you mean you based the protagonist's right hand man on your boyfriend???"
(A much less noticed comment from cucumber on another video was "wait. the date of this video matches the date you posted chapter 1856. you don't mean to say that THIS is what inspired you to write that papapa scene involving a suspiciously pear-looking fruit of all things? BECAUSE YOU TRIPPED OVER A FREAKING PEAR IN YOUR HALLWAY?")
