Glenn Close performs “As If We Never Said Goodbye” from the Broadway musical Sunset Boulevard at the Royal Albert Hall Celebration for Andrew Lloyd Webber’s 50th Birthday.

I don't know why I'm frightened I know my way around here The cardboard trees, the painted seas, the sound here... Yes, a world to rediscover But I 'm not in any hurry And I need a moment The whispered conversations in overcrowded hallways The atmosphere as thrilling here as always Feel the early morning madness Feel the magic in the making Why, everything's as if we never said goodbye I've spent so many mornings just trying to resist you I'm trembling now, you can't know how I've missed you Missed the fairy tale adventure In this ever spinning playground We were young together I'm coming out of make-up The lights already burning Not long until the cameras will start turning... And the early morning madness And the magic in the making Yes, everything's as if we never said goodbye I don't want to be alone That's all in the past This world's waited long enough I've come home at last! And this time will be bigger And brighter than we knew it So watch me fly, we all know I can do it... Could I stop my hand from shaking? Has there ever been a moment With so much to live for? The whispered conversations in overcrowded hallways So much to say not just today but always... We'll have early morning madness We'll have magic in the making Yes, everything's as if we never said goodbye Yes, everything's as if we never said goodbye... We taught the world new ways to dream!

Since you're on the topic I have genuine question about AI art designs from a non-artist.

In your opinion would using an AI tool to generate a reference for a commission (whether it be for character design or pose) be an appropriate use of said tools?

I thought about this as well and I gotta say, personally I don't think so.

Barring for the purpose of this ask the whole "AI art is stolen art" thing (which I stand by fiercely), AI generated images are really janky, especially reference sheets. There are details everywhere that make no fucking sense, anatomy is deformed, they have a lot of nonsensical parts to them so its just one big jumble of nothing.

And, it's pulling from designs created by existing artists and warping them to fit your prompt. It's work that another artist already made, used by an AI that's trained on a specific dataset. It also pulls from popular things that people enjoy: tried and true color combos, the most popular shapes that big artists use, theres a LOT of waifus, and a lot of the art genuinely comes in the same painterly style that's really hard to color pick from. some even come with color swatches that don't match the colors on the reference

In short, it's just a machine generating something that looks neat at first glance, and then is actual hot garbage when you just... look at it closely. Not to mention that an AI prompt can be iterated, and the AI pulls from everything it has, for every prompt, so what you end up getting is completely samey designs with small changes. Good for concept art assistance, but not if you want to create a Legit Character. The AI will give you something that it has already spit out a thousand times over and then some, with no regards to composition, design technique, color theory, because all it knows is what it has been fed and what the artists its ripping off of know (meaning if they have mistakes, the AI will as well. But in a far less human way)

Meanwhile, when you commission someone you are likely to go for someone whos art style will actually fit what you want to get, or someone whos art style you enjoy. Usually these artists will be people you've followed for a while and you at least know them enough to know what they can do. And they are also reactive, you can tell them to actually change and tweak details of what they're making for you. And not taking into account the bad actors out there (as there are always bad actors in every discipline) you will have something that has been made specifically FOR you, not just what a machine thinks you would perceive as eye candy.

As for poses... just draw it badly in ms paint. The AI will not give you the pose you want for the aforementioned reason: broken anatomy (and also because it will pull from its dataset of poses it can warp features onto. It's a lot more limited than you think.) If you want a pose prompt for a commission just draw it really badly in ms paint or on a napkin and write annotations for the artist (arm goes here, this guy is grabbing this thing, etc etc) Most of us if not all of us will GLADLY interpret your pose for you and draw whatever you want us to.

And like. Literally if you're going to get commissions anyway, why not commission a design first thing of all?? Or buy an adoptable from people who already make them by hand? It will genuinely be so much better than just hoping a machine does all the work for you. Please support artists

Still there's something 'bout men that I don't understand They're always leaving wherever they've been Brush it off with a shrug, I don't know much about love Still I give it a try now and then Saddle up and ride on down Maybe when the tide comes out Come and find me Waiting on the street where we met Haven't found the time to forget Funny what we lose, yeah when we bet

trust me I KNOW that it's abt Peter Pan from Wendy's perspective but Peter has me so fucked up in my teenager/young Petopher feels I'm ill over this.

together in secret. Chris, older than Peter, having to leave, but Peter promising he'd come find him when he could. never reconnecting. never reconnecting.

finally reconnecting when there's no hope of recognizing each other anymore.

Made it level 120!! Just with 20 minutes to spare

Last pull.

Last thing I was doing on my side account. Nayuta and Mikage waving me goodbye 🤧🥲Perhaps I should formally reveal I record stuff for tik tok as UltimateMadokaSenpai and I spent the last two days grinding episode levels for a bunch of new girls I got, recording tap quotes, and transformations from my account progress so I can post it. I just barely got nayuta and mikages recorded lol. Like I was so stressed for the last hour recording and unlocking doppels. (Sorry lavi that I didn’t get to yours in time but Christmas girls take priority, maybe if I didn’t have to re-record Valentine sudachi I would have had time but oh well 😭) I think I’ll post them slowly over time like I used to. Just whenever I’m in the mood (or have time) to share some magia record love with the world. The game may have ended but my love for it and wanting to talk about it will continue… like I have so many stories I still need to read and re-read tbh. I will also post one or maybe two more compilations of random gameplay with no BG music on YouTube. I found out I do still have some footage on my phones that I got to sift through but there should be enough for a video or two.

But yeah magia record will live on with the fandom and see you all on exedra!

(Still sad though lol but we move forward :/)
