#Create Task

Note
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

Just found you for the first time and I like your art! What's your manga about, if you don't mind me asking?




(Read from right to left)
Thank you! I'm bad at writing blurps (especially in english) but: It's a slice-of-life, comedy manga in which you follow bear girl Gris on her daily shenanigans as she moves into the city of Kemoshima — a city that was once heralded as the safe heaven for Chimeras but has since become a derelict slum, ran be mafia families.
I've got about 37 pages released so far over on my dedicated website. Right now you need a Patreon sub to read it but when CH.1 is fully released, it will be free to read!
#gogogris#I need to get better at writing lol#drawing manga is the hardest shit I've ever done#sometimes create a long form story with adhd feels like a sisyphean task#gotta get better

Special circle of hell for game devs that still subject you to a diabolical grind to earn purchasable extras you’ve already paid for and make you wait significant real time hours to even slightly progress the main story of the game you’ve already paid for and then punish you by corrupting your save file or revoking basic game features if you attempt to try and get around the absurd restrictions in the game you’ve already paid for. You shell out so much money for a game, the least you could do is, oh I don’t know, let me play it
#miss when games were not connected to the internet#just one-and-done feed my computer a disc and that was the game#‘wait 48 hours for this item/task to progress the main storyline :3’ hey how about I punch you in the throat#only allowed to give characters 3 items a day and then you basically can’t do anything else for 24 hours#in a nearly £60 game is wild#that’s like free phone app game behaviour#‘it creates a sense of reward!’ it creates a sense of violence actually#insane what game this is about too#I’m in the very beginning stages of making a game myself and that is one thing I will not be doing

More Task force 141 x Janitor Reader
It starts when you offer a neck massage to Rodriguez. They’d just returned from some mission, and all she and the rest of group did was complain about how sore they were. As shes a close friend with Michael, and a good friend of yours too, you decided to offer her relief. A quick massage, just while you had time between tasks and she had her own downtime.
You once done it absentmindedly when you stood behind Michael at a meeting. He sat on the bench in front of you, so you just simply rested your hands on his shoulders. Nothing over the top. However as the meeting progressed, he’d started feeling your hands gently squeeze his shoulders. Michael didn’t react, he didn’t move or give any indication that he felt what was going on; figuring you might stop the pleasant movements of your hands. This continued for another twenty minutes, by the time the meeting ended you’d thoroughly worked out all the kinks in his neck and shoulders, had gently run your hands through his hair enough times where his eyes had to fight to stay open, and left him in a daze.
Ever since, any time he’d feel your hands on his shoulders he’d still, hoping that you were entranced enough with whatever it was Bill(your boss) was talking about that you’d do it again.
“You can say no, Im just offering a service, you don’t have to tell me yes if you’re uncomfortable. Genuinely, I only offer because you seem like you need it” you say, awkwardly turning away from her as she seemed on the fence.
“Marisol, trust me, it’s good. You’ll probably get put to sleep. I call (Name) NyQuil behind their back because they nearly put me to sleep once-“
“Mikey what the fuck-“
Rodríguez laughed, “Sounds good, Thanks (Name) I really appreciate it.” Once she gave you the go ahead, you rounded behind her.
“You still good?”
She gave you a nod.
You started gently kneading the muscles at the base of her neck and worked down from there. The way the three of you were positioned was that Mikey (and you previously) had your backs facing the recreational rooms’ tv, and now you were able to face the tv with Marisol. Some reality tv show had caught your attention, and with time, the sounds from the screen and the show itself distracted you.
By the last comercial break, when you looked down you found Rodriguez was chin-to-chest. Her head rolling over to allow you to gently trace the base of her neck with your nails.
“You still okay?” You asked, chuckling when she grunted happily as her answer.
Just then, more of her squad came bounding in..
“Rodriguez we’ve been looking for you what are- Hey what’re you doing?”
“What’s it look like?” You respond, noting that Marisol had yet to lift her head and her eyes remained shut.
“Aw dude- Me next! My fucking back has been killing me!” Someone from outside the door said, when you turned to look it was another member of their squad.
“You want one? Twenty dollars for however long real housewives of Dubai is on-“ Mikey instantly sat up from the old couch, his arm outstretched and hand open. You instantly shot Michael a glare, while the others looked at him in disbelief.
“Man what-“
“Mikey I didn’t-“
“It’s worth it” Marisol said, loud enough to catch everyone’s attention. She placed a hand over your hand own and gave you a quick thank you. She got up from the folding chair she’d been sat at and riled her shoulders. “It’s fucking worth it. Watch this,”
She made a show of rolling her shoulders and neck.
“Im gonna sleep like a fucking baby tonight. Ten out ten, will recommend ” She smiled and gave you another thank you. You were distracted by her smile, and didn’t hear what Mikey said next.
“So? You heard her, and you know Rodriguez doesn’t lie for shit- what do you say?” Michael smirked, hand still outstretched.The two men looked at each other before they looked back at you.
Still distracted by Rodriguez’s smile, you didn’t notice when the men pulled out their wallets.
“You got change for a fifty?”
“I do”
You turned to see the men exchange bills in front of you before offering you twenty each.
“Im not- I mean- uh-“
You sighed as they gave you a pleading look.
I mean you’re a college student paying out of state tuition fees AND the majority of check went into rent and bills… Having a bit of extra cash is like totally in your best interests…
“Who’s going first?”
And that’s how you became a part time masseuse.
It was a well kept secret. Michael had taking to managing the operation, his payment being on demand head scratches. He’d made it so only people vouched by someone you’d already worked on or by you or Michael personally, would you even consider. It was all kept on the down low so that you wouldn’t end up in some sort of trouble, you accepted payment in cash, goods, and trades of services. And everyone was kept in check by some sort of code of honor they’d established amongst themselves.
Marisol and Michael and taken it up to personally warn (threaten) everyone that if you got caught and didn’t give massages anymore they wouldn’t take it lightly. (Blah blah blah breaking knee caps blah blah blah Marisol is so creative!)
And sure there were physical therapists on base, but for whatever reason you seemed to excel in relaxing people to the point of sleep. That’s what people really came to you for.
One night when you were on graveyard shift, you recieved a text from Michael.
TMNT: Hey, just fyi sgt MacTavish and Garrick r gonna head over to you soon
You: ??
TMNT: The ones w the thiq thighs n fat asses
You: be more specific this is yam city we’re in partner
TMNT: SCOTLAND FOREVAA n the guy w the cap from the 141
You: yOU MEAN KYLE?! ur lYING!! HOW?!
You: who couched ?!
You: vouched*
TMNT: Marisol
You: Ah :o
TMNT: Yeah ;)
You: (ToT)
You: Bye then
TMNT : toodlelu~
You waited nervously for the two sergeants in the rec room. You eased your nerves by scrolling through the streaming services on the TV. Just as you had finally settled on a series, there was a knock of the opened door.
“So yur’ NyQuil?” The Scotsman was the first to enter, an inquisitive eye as he looked over your humble single chair set up. His resting smile, made your stomach do flips as you watched him look you over
“ a wee bit jumpy no?” Soap smiled, getting side eye from his fellow sergeant who was still outside the door.
“Fucking Michael- Yes but no, don’t call me that. It’s (Name), the dipshit trying to get the name to stick is my friend…” you fought to maintain eye contact with those bright blue eyes of his
The Englishmen made his appearance soon after,
“ So it is you! What? Threatenin’ us to keep clean wasn’t enough for you, you’d to start knocking people out?” Kyle walked in with a grin.
“Well, you’re some big hotshot guy so when I couldn’t get to you I had to find an outlet.” You chuckled,
“So Marisol let y’all in on the operation. What’s going on fellas?”
“Near dam dislocated my shoulder when training last week and haven’t been able to sleep it off,” Johnny answered, tentatively rolling said shoulder. You nodded then turned to Kyle,
“Well, truth is I’ve just been tired.” You nodded again,
“Alright then gentlemen, I’ll get started with-“
“Call me John, Bonnie”
“Okay, I start with John and I’ll get to you after.” You gesture for Johnny to sit in the folding chair beside you, “there’s snacks- well the layout is almost the same as your own personal rec. room so you’ll know where snacks are. Kick back on the couch, watch the movie and n’” you turn slightly to see how much more of the movie remained… an hour and forty five minutes.
“Like 45 minutes I’ll have y’all switch.”
The two men looked at each other briefly before stepping to their spots. Gaz on the couch and soap in the chair.
“Oh can I actually get you turned the other way?” You ask, Johnny quickly stands to turn around and sit as you positioned him.
“Okay, now, just let me know if anything hurts in the not good way, okay? I’m going to get started on your neck and then work from there. Sound good?” You asked, placing a bit of scentless lotion on your hands.
“Let me know if I hurt you,” Kyle couldn’t help but turn away from the screen to see you get started on Johnny. As you couldn’t see his face, Johnny scoffed lightly and gave Kyle a small smile at your words. Chin restringing on his arms, Johnny began speaking
“Nah, I’m sure’ve had worse, ‘think I can handle-“
Kyle had the pleasure of seeing his teammate’s face freeze and contort into something between pained and relieved-
“Jesús, Mary, n’ Joseph, the grip on you-“ Johnny grunted, hiding his face in his arms. From his angle, Kyle could see the way your thumbs dug into the base of his neck.
Gaz laughed, “What mate? You good?”
“If it hurts I’ll stop, just say the word,” You said, seemingly unfazed,
“Don’t you bloody dare-“ He muttered, leaning his weight into your hold. He began muttering phrases under his breath, some unfamiliar to you and other indiscernible.
“That good huh?” Kyle smirked,
Johnny, who’s face was buried in his arms only grunted at muttered “-bile your heid” or at least that’s what you managed to understand.
“It’s alright, it’s a compliment to me, yeah?”
Johnny made a noise of agreement
The three of you laughed it off, continuing with light conversation, soon enough you got into your rhythm.
See? nothing to be afraid of! Just passing the time and getting some of that green!
“So how did you find you had this talent of your’s, (Name)?”
“It was just something I did since I was younger. I’d usually only do it for my family but I haven’t..” you paused, thinking of how to continue.
“Ay, dinae stop I paid good money for dis’” Johnny joked sleepily, his breath had begun to steady and his voice sounded more muffled, like his mouth wasn’t moving at all. You chuckled and carried on.
“Relax sergeant, I’m not stopping.” You moved back from his broad shoulders to the base of his neck. You could’ve sworn he’d began purring as your fingers began raking through his hair and working at the junction between his neck and skull.
“But yeah, just something I’ve always done.”
Kyle nodded, taking note of your hesitation but not commenting. You all remained in a comfortable silence afterwards, the movie playing in the background.
Before you knew it, the forty five minutes were up. Your phone buzzed on the counter and you lifted your hands though no without immediate protest.
“Timers’ rigged-“
“No sir. Go ahead and get up, I’ve got to do your friend next before I head out for my actual work. “
“Get out the chair bruv- it’s my turn.”
He only grunted.
Johnny groaned but rose this time, he tentively lifted his arm and rolled it in its socket,
“Braw Job la-“
“Move!”
“Cannae you see I’m going ya jobbie?!”
You laughed, not entirely sure what the Scot was saying but understanding the fact he was pleased with the results. Johnny grumbled annoyed as he laid back on the coach,
“N’ I was falling asleep too!” He complained halfheartedly, placing his feet in the arm of the couch.
“Ay mate but you were cutting into my time.”
“Ah Git Awa’ and Bile Yer Heid,” John huffed, watching as Kyle took his seat in your chair. “Alright same rules, let me know when something’s not working for you or hurts in a bad way, ‘Kay Garrick?”
“Garrick? What happened to Kyle? You cross with me?”
He’d turned his head back slightly, his expression ameused.
“This is a professional setting Mr. Garrick, I’ve got to be professional.” A smug smile pulled at your lips. You placed your hands on his shoulders to begin.
“So this is where you two disappeared to.”
You turned around to trace the source of the unfamiliar voice. You were lead to the doorway- oh hey it’s the grim reaper
“ AH!”
By now both men in the room, had begun stifling their snickers.
“We have to stop meeting like this!I mean you no offense but you’re one scary S-O-B you know that” You swalllowed, raising your head from beside Kyle.
He didn’t respond, but telling from his eyes and the minuscule movement where his mouth would be, you figured he was amused.
“Stalking us’ Lt.? And here we thought yee couldn’ stand us,”
He giant of the group of giants found his place in the corner of the room, he leaned against the counter and allowed for Johnny to yap away.
Meanwhile you’d restarted your timer hesitantly, starting again and hoping that the sound of John’s voice and the tv kept your voice out of earshot.
You leaned over slightly, just enough for Kyle to hear you. ( And for a tingle down his spine n heat reach the tip of his ears)
“He won’t kill me right? He looks the like kinda of guy that could kill me.”
“I mean he could, but he won’t….‘Least I hope…”
“Fuck right off then Garrick, if it wasn’t for the money you paid me I’d leave right now.”
“So you’re telling me you’re only here for money? I thought you liked me?”
“Just because you’re hot doesn’t mean you can’t be insufferable, sergeant. I’ve gotta keep the bills paid somehow.”
“You think I’m hot?” He smirked,
“Yeah,” you scoffed, “- and insufferable, don’t forget that part. It’s key that you understand that’s more important .”
The two of you continued to bicker, not noticing that the Lieutenant and other sergeant had been watching the two of you interact.
“Lively one ye?” Soap turned slightly to get a look at Ghost’s expression. Despite being hiding under that skull themed baklava of his, Johnny felt he’d seen enough and been through enough with the man to get a general feel for him.
Ghost took a moment to take in the scene.
Kyle trying to rile you up while being forced multiple times to keep his head facing forward. A broad smile on his face and the sound of his laugh just slightly louder than the television.
You, who eventually forced him to plant his face into his arms so that the whole ordeal would be over with. A smile tugging on your own lips no matter how hard you tried to fight it.
He then turned back to Johnny, who watched the two of you as well. The look on his face seeming content, his eyes following the way Kyle’s eyes lit up and switching off to the way your lips moved when you smiled and spit back another comeback. There was a heat to it all but.. The whole scene was so… domestic. Ghost quickly turned away, instead focusing on how you decided to torture Gaz, completely giving up on the relaxation part of the massage and instead aiming for as many weak spots as you could find.
Lively indeed.

Bangchan has been seen around the school on wanted posters explaining that hs is wanted for using magic to win a game of UNO. Which is not allowed as Rule 143 states it is not allowed to use magic to win any muggle games as its seen as cheating. The poster states a finders reward of 100 magic coins to be granted to the person whoever brings him in. It is rumoured that he was playing a game of UNO with Felix and beat him using magic. However it is uncertain exactly what happened.

A crazy thing about Mouthwashing is that Pony Express lost communication with one of its freighters for months and didn’t send anyone to check.
A genuinely reputable company, or at the very least a decent one, would have sent someone, something out to check after about two weeks of silence. Two months is when the crew start questioning if they are even being looked for which implies they were already expecting it to take a while cause P.E just doesn’t care.
They don’t care about who they hire. They don’t care about the conditions they place their crew in or how safe the safety measures actually are. They just don’t care, made rules and regulations so they can care less and succeed in getting away with it with how little those ideas are discussed.
#back on remembering how little blame we give P.E very the real organizational problems that led to the interpersonal ones#there’s many facets to talk about MW in but it’s that people really down play the working class factor and that everyone on the ship are no#too far off from each other and you have to incorporate that into how things play out like the false prestige of being captain and curly#exudes creates this inflated idea he had unlimited capabilities to do much more when it’s clear he is ruled by the same restrictions just a#a slightly different angle same way Swansea as the mechanic can’t fix a vent not because it’s likely difficult but because he just lacks th#rescources and constant clearances needed so it’s a stagnant task#same way even when Anya gets to do nurse stuff it’s limited by what she is given#it’s all reflective about what they have to work with not being enough not even being barely enough#both on an aspect of actual tangible problems and subjective issues#something something boss makes a dollar the crew makes a dime curly makes a quarter and they all still struggle to stay above water#idk it’s very important and interesting and more tragic to me that they were all in the same bubble but their perceptions of each other and#priorities made them walk each other off and feel levels of resentment that should have been towards P.E like how Curly mainly resents them#but the others clearly take it to a more personal level like he got fired with them#is at the same point of starting over with nothing cause all his experience is worthless in a dying job field and all he got was papers tha#say he’s great at a role no one wants except for the one guy that forced him to exit#all of it for nothing all those years for nothing and he didn’t get to choose#I think it’s interesting that people assume curly got what he wanted when he wanted a choice in his future to continue as is or change just#because they feed so heavily into the birthday argument where a projecting Jimmy says Curly got what he wanted when curly corrects him ther#saying what he wanted was a life he didn’t have to escape from being forced out of something isn’t escape if you have no where to go or#everyone got to kinda make a choice whether we consider Jimmy crashing the ship or Anya telling Jimmy and later killing herself#curly being trapped feels so minimal cause it’s hard to recognize how he’s caged in by being the in between of the head and the crew he can#move freely through either as he has the power of boss to them and subordinate to the other he has to do what the company says to an extent#and hopefully mitigate anything the crew might do and the ‘perks’ of being captain are just different leashes he’s on with the crew and P.E#it’s like so hard to understand when you aren’t used to working in these type environments or have been in similar organizational power#structures but the crew being on the same sort of economic scale and class is so important to why and how they act the way they do#mouthwashing#mouthwashing game#pony express#curly mouthwashing#captain curly

How can Anne be both a decent and terrible writer all at once?? Like this quote you posted...that goes so fucking hard. And she deleted it??
her ability to capture transformative emotion beyond certain constraints versus her orientalism and antiblack ideology seeped throughout the text
#i’ll say a billion things eventually about how the show has a monumental task of overhauling much of the lore she created#but that’s also an issue that when you’re adapting something like her lore. well.#can you fully separate her values from the work? is really the question

Watching Severance does feel a bit like reading a fic with 15000 word chapters that are almost entirely world-building and setup and there are only 2/47 chapters published and those came out 3 years apart
#the same sense of teetering uncertainty. like there is something in someone's mind but will it get out? probably not#the thing that gives me hope is there's a pretty strong track record of simplifying and circling back to plot points#instead of casting the net of things that happen ever wider (looking at you orphan black)#many of the very weird nonsensical elements are meant to just be weird and nonsensical. like yes there's a severed marching band#no we don't need to explore that any further it just is what it is#ms cobel seemed like a weird outlier to the plot but they tied her in exactly to the heart of it#(by the way i know none of you know about this but one thing i immediately realized that i don't think other tumblrites saw#is that her mrs selvig behavior in s1 was not a trick either in her different demeanor or her apparent care for mark#he is not just her science experiment. his outie—and her mrs selvig ''outie''—are her creations free from the company#she truly wanted to be able to perpetuate the kier lumon cult of abuse and control but also set people free of it#it's why she created severance and why she is nasty only to innie mark. he deserves that treatment like she thinks she did growing up#but she made a way for only part of him to deserve that while the rest of him doesn't. she genuinely respects his outie#and wants him to thrive and have a full life outside lumon. separate from his innie. that's her WHOLE DEAL)#anyway where was i#oh yeah so she's hooked right into the heart of the simple central idea and everything she does makes sense in that lens#the birthing cabin bit came back to facilitate a key plot movement and that mystery got solved and laid to rest very simply#(laid to rest as in we know the explanation AND it doesn't give our main characters a further task to accomplish#which i'm just realizing is a huge distinction in storytelling)#it's the whole chikhai bardo thing of the big secret at the heart of Severance is just. severance.#and even in the s2 finale the agenda was very simple and stayed the same throughout and the climactic tension was still just severance#like oh she's in the basement? we'll just get her out#the drama came from all the established pieces colliding on the outcome of that#rather than from that goal getting thwarted#idk man it's Good Storytelling enough to make me willing to trust it#severance#severance spoilers

Old news but the fact that Cody was manager at hot topic is so unexplored in fandom. Like he wasn't some shithead employee he was the boss Entry level retail workers are so rarely promoted to manager nowadays, like, was Cody just that good at selling/managing the store? Also, managers make good money. Okay, haha, it's a hot topic, but store managers make like 70,000$ a year (CAD). They have health insurance. So Cody was actually doing pretty well. It's kinda weird to pretend he was on the same level as his friend with just a standard sales associate position, even if that friend was also full-time. Like the power and responsibility that Cody actually had is kind of impressive especially for 28.
AND then! To become a carnie! Like sick move and also Cody lost all his money anyway but the financial disparity! Was Murph probably thinking of like an assistant manager position which would make more sense with Cody's vibe? Probably. Is it funnier to imagine that Cody had to make sales reports to corporate and design store planograms? Absolutely.
Cody was management.
#Cody Walsh#the unsleeping city#dimension 20#Also reading the manager job ad for hot topic is very funny. They are trying so hard to be Relatable and it's Not Working#This is part of my headcanon/AU where Cody realizes that becoming the Jersey Devil means he inherits a bunch of minions and instead of bein#rad it becomes a logistical hell except Cody remembers he's a manager actually and creates a demonic employee shift schedule and a demonic#employee handbook called the Book of Infernal Deeds (ie the tasks employees have to do) and Cody starts to like make spreadsheets to track#how much infernal mayhem is being caused to see where they're being inefficient and everyone is so COMPLETELY BAFFLED both by this random#tone change AND the fact that Cody is good at it AND the fact that it's getting results and the mini devils are actually a lot happier now#that they have clear job tasks and vacation days and structures and so they're more motivated to work when they are working and they love#Cody a little but Cody doesn't even REALIZE that a) he's doing anything weird b) that it works c) that this is a specialized learned skill#the idea that Cody's greatest contribution to the infernal machinery is being a good middle manager would horrify him but it's SO funny

Can you put Chibi Akito under a bridge like a troll? I am imagining him as the troll asking a question or for the bridge toll.
