What the fascistic hatred for abstract art and idolisation of only the Rational, Realistic Art, the only one that comes close to a science, the only one that can be excused as existing (because the more realistic it is the less you see the artist in it and the more it can conform to a standard) have done is unforgivable. btw

Fascism notoriously hates abstract art, and positivism's legacy was a degradation of humanities that led to a distate for art that couldn't be objectively graded on a clear scale or measures in scientific truths. The result is the need to be able to give a correct and rational value to art, and the scale chosen for it was realism.

Which inevitably brings the thought that was isn't realistic is bad, on principle! It is idiotic because art is inherently subjective! You cannot grade it in such a way because it is not meant to be a surefire and technically onthologically correct or incorrect pursuit, it is meant to be art, but fascism hates what it cannot grade as either superior or inferior, degenerate or inspiring, and therefore makes up ways to do that that actually have no meaning and make no sense.

+ It is also why hyperrealistic art is often soulless - not always - but think of (as the example that Jaja gave me, hi) those Instagram drawings of perfectly photorealistic lips or eyes. They all look the same. They all look maybe even incredible, but by virtue of all looking the same, they lose the artist. Could you tell if two drawings of the same set of lime-biting lips were made by different people, when they are so so similar, and so so realistic? What of the prevalent AI art artstyle, a mesh of perfect rendering, all looking the same? Where is the individuality in making all art look identical! Where is the artist in a drawing that does not show any stylistic choice!

The point is. Your art style isn't holding you back because it isn't "realistic enough." You can do what you want forever

You know what ship I'm gonna request

Do I though? /j No but seriously hope this is what you were looking for.. Tha Shared Union... I pretty much just used your design for Scav King because I don't currently ahve my own, but it was fun drawing a Scavenger again :]

This one is titled (in my head) as "Sharing Customs", Gourmand demonstrates their ability to craft items to the Chieftain. Scavs have their own way of crafting, but of course it's very different from the way Gourmand does it.

But Scav King seems to be focusing on something other than the crafting... Perhaps a bit distracted... Hmm 🤔

every time i make a post and i tag it 'nerdy prudes must die' followed by 'npmd' (or the other way around) my brain automatically reads to the melody of the song and also follows it up with EVERYBODY COOL WAAAAATCH THOSE NERDS RUN FOR THEIR LIVES

Did anything at all come of the "Save Our Salmons" post? I just remembered it and was like, "... huh. Whatever happened with that?" I guess it could've been in reference to Grizz using the eggs for the rocket, but the egg usage feels somehow disconnected from the Salmonids in RotM. :/

yeah no I still think about that, 'save our salmons' really amounted to nothing <3 ROTM's human extinction lore was amazing, and then everything else.....a whole lot of wasted potential

wow, what a complex protagonist of this prestige television drama. i hope he doesn't make choices that play into his greatest fears of who he could become and suffer terrible consequences that can only be blamed on his own actions

I do hear a lot of talk about anti-intellectualism on the online sphere but I really and truly cannot stress enough that the act of discouraging the general public from critical thought or from reflecting on political matters in an informed way or on discussing nuanced issues with said nuance is not an online-only problem and it has been the death of politics in my country since the 26th of january 1994* *the date Berlusconi announced his entrance into italian politics

i think, at the end of the day, you have to respect the work you are adapting. a writer doesn't have to be a fan of the source material, or strictly follow the primary story, but you have to understand what made it good, what made it appealing, and what it meant to say.

i would say netflix's dungeon meshi rigorously follows the original manga, often panel for panel, to great effect. it's an excellent adaptation that understands the themes and character of the work. it celebrates it for what it is. conversely, i'd argue that amc's interview with the vampire is spectacular precisely because of the way it breaks from canon. it actively 'yes, and's the book, imo, thoughtfully exploring the themes on its own terms. changes are not inherently bad, nor is a perfect replica inherently good.

you can like a work, and not understand it. you can understand it and not be a fan. but if you can't respect it, you should just be writing original work.
