As gen-AI becomes more normalized (Chappell Roan 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 gen-AI 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 tech companies. I draw not because I want a drawing but because I love the process of drawing. So even in a future where everyone’s accepted it, I’m never gonna sway on this.

i remember when i was a child internet safety was like "if you even hint at the country you live in, you're gonna get kidnapped and murdered", and nowadays it is encouraged or even necessary to give corporations every single personal detail if you want to use anything because if they can't sell your information they cry so hard they throw up

Love to see the evolution of their dynamic in the latest chapters

“Normal” test results are not the relief people think they are. When you wake up in pain and continue to be in pain for hours every day and your tests come back normal you don’t stop being in pain.

i actually find it really fascinating that there seems to be a subset of people who watch television shows and seemingly can't handle an ounce of conflict or narrative tension or flawed people handling difficult situations imperfectly. how do you guys live like this

Big fan of characters who “kill” their younger selves. Characters who resent the past version of themselves for letting them get hurt, who look at that kid and feel revolted by the foreignness of it. Characters who feel they have to cut the child out of them like a tumor because it’s hurting them too much and if I don’t kill you you’ll kill me. Nearly nothing remaining of that past self but for the little connections and mannerisms they can’t kick, and when it shines through, it’s a terrible, tragic thing, because the child is still in there. It’s in there and it’s grotesque in its suffocation. But it’s there.

enough about the timeloop I wanna hear about the post-timeloop.

person who just got over the horror of being trapped and settled into a comfortable routine...but then the timeloop breaks and they struggle to reacclimatize. person trapped in a loop for years who grieved their loved ones—who are suddenly back and acting like nothing happened (because for them nothing did). teenager who aged physically and mentally during the timeloop and now they're so much older than they're supposed to be. random strangers who were trapped in a loop together relieved to get away from each other at last, but feeling oddly bereft of familiar company. service worker who is pissed as fuck to have to go back to work

Eddie suddenly becoming really interested in everything Steve has to say and isn’t even calling him a dumb jock anymore. Steve, weirded out, is finally like, “Dude, what’s going on with you?”

“Don’t know if you’re aware of this, Harrington,” Eddie answers easily. “The vibe you’re putting out there is of a man that’s about to off himself.”

“So….youre being nice to me because you think I’m going to hurt myself?”

“Oh, god no,” Eddie shakes his head. “I’m doing this for selfish reasons. I can’t have everyone in this school mourning in black. I’ll look like a conformist.”

That… that actually makes Steve laugh for the first time in months.

Eddie beams at the accomplishment and tells him, “Make my life easier and eat lunch at my table. Don’t wanna have to shout at you from across the cafeteria.”

“You love shouting across the cafeteria.”

“True, but do it anyways.”

Steve, still kinda laughing, nods, “Deal.”
