Aleheather Is In Top 3 Best Ships In Total Drama... Ya Can’t Convince Me Otherwise... I Am A Stubborn

continuing the b99 references because i’m unoriginal lol. also the End Times have got me unemployed and in need of a little lighthearted humor. (if you have anything to spare, i would appreciate a donation to my kofi)

at some point it's just like. do they even fucking like the thing they're asking AI to make? "oh we'll just use AI for all the scripts" "we'll just use AI for art" "no worries AI can write this book" "oh, AI could easily design this"

like... it's so clear they've never stood in the middle of an art museum and felt like crying, looking at a piece that somehow cuts into your marrow even though the artist and you are separated by space and time. they've never looked at a poem - once, twice, three times - just because the words feel like a fired gun, something too-close, clanging behind your eyes. they've never gotten to the end of the movie and had to arrive, blinking, back into their body, laughing a little because they were holding their breath without realizing.

"oh AI can mimic style" "AI can mimic emotion" "AI can mimic you and your job is almost gone, kid."

... how do i explain to you - you can make AI that does a perfect job of imitating me. you could disseminate it through the entire world and make so much money, using my works and my ideas and my everything.

and i'd still keep writing.

i don't know there's a word for it. in high school, we become aware that the way we feel about our artform is a cliche - it's like breathing. over and over, artists all feel the same thing. "i write because i need to" and "my music is how i speak" and "i make art because it's either that or i stop existing." it is such a common experience, the violence and immediacy we mean behind it is like breathing to me - comes out like a useless understatement. it's a cliche because we all feel it, not because the experience isn't actually persistant. so many of us have this ... fluttering urgency behind our ribs.

i'm not doing it for the money. for a star on the ground in some city i've never visited. i am doing it because when i was seven i started taking notebooks with me on walks. i am doing it because in second grade i wrote a poem and stood up in front of my whole class to read it out while i shook with nerves. i am doing it because i spent high school scribbling all my feelings down. i am doing it for the 16 year old me and the 18 year old me and the today-me, how we can never put the pen down. you can take me down to a subatomic layer and never find the source of it; it is of me. when i was 19 i named this blog inkskinned because i was dramatic and lonely and it felt like the only thing that was actually permanently-true about me was that this is what is inside of me, that the words come up over everything, coat everything, bloom their little twilight arias into every nook and corner and alley

"we're gonna replace you". that is okay. you think that i am writing to fill a space. that someone said JOB OPENING: Writer Needed, and i wrote to answer. you think one raindrop replaces another, and i think they're both just falling. you think art has a place, that is simply arrives on walls when it is needed, that is only ever on demand, perfect, easily requested. you see "audience spending" and "marketability" and "multi-line merch opportunity"

and i see a kid drowing. i am writing to make her a boat. i am writing because what used to be a river raft has long become a fully-rigged ship. i am writing because you can fucking rip this out of my cold dead clammy hands and i will still come back as a ghost and i will still be penning poems about it.

it isn't even love. the word we use the most i think is "passion". devotion, obsession, necessity. my favorite little fact about the magic of artists - "abracadabra" means i create as i speak. we make because it sluices out of us. because we look down and our hands are somehow already busy. because it was the first thing we knew and it is our backbone and heartbreak and everything. because we have given up well-paying jobs and a "real life" and the approval of our parents. we create because - the cliche again. it's like breathing. we create because we must.

you create because you're greedy.

I just wanted to talk about this scene because I noticed something: Levi is picking Hanji up, but the way he is leaning at the door and looking, I think he was waiting there for a longer time and didn’t just came at the very moment . And when he called Hanji to get moving(because she didn’t listen to poor Moblit), she looked surprised, as if she didn’t knew he was there the whole time(when he just came she would have heard his footsteps and we , the watchers ,would see him coming at this moment)

So I call it a levihan scene because it seems as if Levi watched her working and was waiting in patient for her while the others left them

first of all, wear a fucking mask, don’t be an asshole! yeah it’s uncomfortable, this is the reason it works  wash your hands, avoid gatherings also media manipulating citizens is a shitty thing to do & they should treat us like adults & give us the information we deserve - on this part i perfectly agree with you

but this situation is far more complicated than ‘bussinesses want your money’ unfortunately, we have to come ‘back to normal’ (in an economical way)  freezing economy is a very short-time solution bc our society is based on this; without bussinesses earning money people wouldn’t be able to get paid & support their families (that’s why so many people got fired during pandemic), without people earning money goverment would’t be able to support them financially (or do literally anything) bc of the lack of taxes. support system would be based on people (billionaires) who really don’t have to help anyone if they don’t want to, no one can force them 

(ofc there’s also a problem with poorer countries, what they’re gonna do

little bussinesses would have to get closed, food production also would freeze which always results in lack of food, i won’t even start on what the fuck would happen to the healthcare system etc. it’s a simple thing but many people don’t  even think about this bc it’s a more complicated issue this is also why covid-19 is such a tragedy: without freezing economy people will die from the virus & with it - people will die from hunger... 

i am ofc aware of the fact that you perfectly realize that... but many people don’t. and showing only one side of the situation can be pretty harmful 

OFC YOU STILL SHOULD WEAR A MASK/WASH YOUR HANDS/PRACTICE SOCIAL DISTANCING, JESUS CHRIST IT’S BARE MINIMUM things are not back to normal, remember that

ofc i don’t want to defend those who use the pandemic in their favour without any regard on human lives but we (as a society) are based on capitalism & it has downsides and upsides as everything else

 sorry for any mistakes, english is not my mother tongue

why is everyone pretending like things are back to normal now? governments wanna open up schools and universities again, the news is no longer reporting the covid-19 pandemic the way it was a month ago, people have started having get-togethers and birthday parties again and meanwhile scientists think that covid-19 is airborne now?! like... we're still in the middle of a fucking pandemic and it's worse than we thought. people are dying because they think things are "back to normal" again. no they're fucking not!! the government and the businesses just want your fucking money!! this is just capitalism at play because as usual, they don't give a fuck if you die as long as you just give them your money. so please wear a mask, please wash your hands and please socially distance!! and remember things are not back to normal!!!

Omfg... it's beautiful... I don't like Spamano and PruIta but... it's amazing
