i think when people say AI art is ''missing a soul'' it's just a simplified way to say it lacks what we basically consider human effort behind it, all the subconscious and conscious processes that lead someone to create are gone, the only purpose of the image is to be consumed and discarded because there isn't any emotional context behind it, no past, no process, nothing further to gain from it other than what the computer thinks majority of people find generically pleasing. i genuinely see no cultural purpose in such ''art'', there is absolutely nothing to be gained from it other than ''computer can also make pretty image now''

protip: rate itch.io games
me and some other gay itch devs friens have been annoyed by people making accounts for the sole purpose of spamming 1 star reviews on lgbt projects and like trying to report that when its blatantly obvious (like i had PAID projects that werent even purchased but still got 1 star reviews lol)
if you like my game and want to go the extra mile to support me for free rate my game on itch dot io
like i know i got patreon and donations too but im always honestly caring more about the ratings cause more ratings means algorithm is happy and more people will see my games.
its essentially the same as youtubers requesting you to like and subsribe and hit hte bell icon it really tells the algoritms that this game is good and will try to show it to more people so especially when youre playing gay games on itch io i think everyone should get in the habit of liberally rating the games they liked

Updated Wyta's ref sheet for artfight!
The last days of the petition against conversion therapy are FASCINATING to watch. I have been following it pretty closely for almost a year now, and the progress was, above all, steady. There was this jump when some algorithm in Finland picked it up, but even that was local.
And now, everyone is panicking.
Which really shows.
These past three or four days, multiple countries have reached the threshold. Even more notably, the number of signatures in total, the ones that we need to get one million of, are growing rapidly. There are only 400'000 signatures missing. Two days ago, it was closer to 600'000.
You can see the progress here:
Consider joining the fun by making everyone around you sign it!
a gentle reminder that you’re not untalented, dumb or slow just because you’re learning. be patient with your progress. let yourself be a beginner.
I love how irrelevant tumblr is. like no celebrities on here, no colleagues or family on here, no one’s famous off tumblr or making money, tbh no ones even updating the site like is there even any staff? who knows? it’s bliss
gentle reminders for trying times
should you decide to spend some time away from social media, the world will continue to spin. ♡
you are not "immature" for sleeping with stuffed animals, watching childhood television programs, etc: you're a human being who desires comfort. ♡
feeling angry doesn't define your core; you can be upset without letting it solely deem you as being an "angry person." ♡
if you're feeling uninterested in your usual hobbies or projects, don't let it get you down. we need time away from the things we love, too. ♡
you're allowed to feel deep sadness *and* extreme happiness, all in the same day. never expect yourself to feel or be one thing all of the time. we are people, and people have very complex emotions. feel them all. ♡
Slowly already becoming an old meme, but meh
Infinite pats :D
I haven't shared my art here in way too long, so have gay :D
Please write your story. Draw the artwork. Finish the animation. Continue on whatever project you're working on. It doesn't matter if you're not good at it, or you have doubts, or you're afraid of mistakes. Your creation has a right to exist, and it will be important to others.
draw it bad and draw it weird and draw it catered only to yourself and draw it wobbly and draw it too small and draw it with the default brush and draw it without using references and draw it and leave it unfinished and draw it for the first time and draw it
i dont have much to say i just wanna point out the first and last lyrics of gethsemane
"I've learned to live without it, and even though it's colder now, I no longer feel surrounded"
"And I've learned to live beside it, and even though it's over now, I will always be reminded"
i don’t know how else to word this but sleep token doesn’t feel real. in the sense that when i listen to almost any other artist (there are very few outliers) it just feels like i’m listen to music ya know? but with sleep token it’s like i’m transported to a different realm of living. i don’t know if it’s the genre bending, vocab vessel uses, extensive lore or what but it doesn’t feel like just listening to music.
also the call backs to other songs, eras and albums is insane. it really brings the feeling of “this is an entire experience” to light. like euclid capping off tmbte and the whole trilogy with call backs to multiple songs just leaves me feeling full of emotion. what emotion that is, i don’t fucking know-except “wow, everything has come together to beautifully.”
even with past self on eia with “all up in a frenzy but not like before” - a call back to say that you will (one of my personal favs) just had me jaw dropped. like, this man is really and has really created a whole WORLD. teeth of god in infinite baths, when that was the tour name last year??
idk if any of this makes sense but this band is truly unlike anything i’ve listened to and experienced. the time and effort that this man has put into everything is just wow.
the fetishization of limb loss in media
why. literally why. like everyone has at least one oc with like a fake arm or leg. their disability is not seen as a disability because people think prosthetics like fix you or something. you never see someone with rotationoplasty or any limb difference that isn't at least half amputated. maybe someone lost a finger or toe and they wear a prosthetic??? why??? people don't do that. also. prosthetics don't move or work like natural limbs. god please stop. as someone with an upper limb difference, I can confidently say that people who use arm/ hand prosthetics are a minority. we have been using our arms our entire lives and where someone sees no hand, or a misshapen hand, we just see ourselves. we have adapted to life, we hold things strangely but we hold things. we don't need hunks of metal so people feel more comfortable with the way we hold shit like really?? maybe your oc with a bionic leg, doesn't have a bionic leg that looks identical to his other leg. maybe he uses a weelchair, or crutches. maybe your oc with a bionic arm, doesn't have a bionic arm and instead of pretending to have representation, actually do some research. maybe they have a club foot, maybe symbrachydactyly, maybe they are missing a finger and they don't wear a prosthetic pinkie?????????? food for thought xo
The reason I love furry art in particular is that nature is brutal and also kind of stupid. Humans are ''supposed'' to be complex enough to go beyond base, brutish instincts but we kind of aren't. so you combine human features and animal features that both remove superficial humanity of humans and general brutishness of nature's cycles to get a creature that's removed from the worst of either, it keeps psychological human features to enhance relatability and expressiveness, so basically to enhance empathy, but now the senses are amplified and it looks removed enough visually to not read as completely human (so it also retains a sense of wonder from the viewer). it also has features of animals we find relatable, appealing etc. it's like an ideal being for expression, resonance, a feeling of comfort. a ''cure'' for the loneliness of human existence
And it feels like falling into the sea // From outer space in seconds to me // And I play discordant days on repeat // Until they look like harmony
Hey, it’s ok to not be a “productive member of society.”
Some people are housebound. Bed bound. Some people physically can’t eat, shower, or use the toilet without the assistance of a caretaker. Some people don’t have the spoons to get out of bed in the morning, let alone work a 9-5 job in this capitalist hellhole.
You’re not lazy. You’re not less than.
And this is coming from a disabled person with chronic pain who can leave the house and walk (with some pain) without mobility aids.
You deserve to take up space. You deserve to cost money. You deserve to be here without feeling guilty just because you can’t give back in the traditional way.
You’re worth it, hun. 🫶🏼
you'll get the urge as an artist or a writer to say out loud the things you're worried about "the proportions are off" "kind of out of character" "i'm not good at summaries" "didn't get as much detail as i wanted" "i made a mistake and here's how" and that's the self-conscious part of your brain telling you "it's bad and if you don't tell them you know it's bad then they'll think you're stupid" but you've got to ignore that little voice and pretend you think it's good or else that little voice is going to ruin your life
Lots of thoughts recently. Everything feels plastic.
I could go on and on about why all that AI "art" is bad. I could mention theft, lack of creativity, it's impact on the work field and environment, but countless people have already said all that. I wanted to touch on something that to me is the most utterly wrong about all of it.
Art is more than just something pretty to look at or listen to. It's therapeutic. It's a form of communication. A tool for human connection. It's a pure, human need.
Support real artists ☀️
After about a year of trying to use Tumblr, I think I’ve finally sorta figured out how it works and now I wanna overhaul all my blogs and make everything organized. Help
