Why Is There So Many P*rn Images In The Transgender Tags? I Keep Seeing It On My Dashboard Because I

Art is beautiful because it exists.

Art is a process of decisions. Color choices, medium, subject, style, basically everything in art is a choice. And that's what makes it so beautiful. Being able to look at a piece of art and go "I wonder why they chose to use such a bright green here?"

That green could represent so many things. It could be the color of the grass outside that day. The color of their favorite toy. The color of their friend's hair. The color of the trees. Their favorite color. Their most hated color.

Maybe its about a message. Some part of their identity. It could be an injustice they experienced. Something unfair they saw. A victory they claimed. A fight they had. Joy they once felt or still feel. A protest piece. An important act. A source of motivation.

Or maybe there is no reason. Maybe they just felt like using it that day.

Even if art is not made to have a particular meaning, you can still look at it and see every stroke. Every line. Every intention. There was love put into this. A soul was mirrored. A little piece of that artist wound into the picture.

There is nothing there in generative AI images. It is a machine. It does not decide, it does not represent. It makes a collage of images fed to it from a database.

It does not make art. It makes images. Sure, a human prompted it. It told it what to do. But they did not make that art. If I told an artist "draw me a tree" and they did so, would I claim it as my art? I gave the prompt, but the artist created the art. Someone gave the prompt, but the machine generated the image.

There is one benefit: it has made me appreciate art far more. I wonder more when I see art just what the artist was thinking about. I like to think about each choice they made when they created it. I think about what I do in my own art.

I think I'm going to use green today.

Splatoon has so much heart

Really. Seeing the whole grand fest and Nintendo's wrap up video for all the splatfests just... oh my heart. Its so clear to me the team behind Splatoon loves this game. I had an absolute blast. I spent so much time playing the grand fest, I even called my mom about it. I rambled to her about the idols, how cool the tricolor stage was, I didn't even care who won I just enjoyed every moment of it.

She told me that was the happiest she'd heard me in a while.

Splatoon has so much lore, so many little details... I just love how much care was put into the series as a whole. It really beat the odds, too. It came out on the Wii U, and iirc Nintendo didn't expect it to grow that much. But it blew up into an amazing game series. Its one of my favorites of all time. And it just makes me so happy to see how deeply the Splatoon team and Nintendo care about it. I'm so happy I got to experience all of it.

I finally got the app so now I can post my traditional stuff, too. Recent one of my oc Seth

DO NOT TAG AS VALENTINES WERE GETTING AROMANTIC TRENDING

Stop acting like the Minecraft movie is redeemed

I feel like Im going insane. Why are we suddenly acting like the Minecraft movie will be great? In what way did the second trailer redeem it besides doing some of the bare minimum stuff?

"Guys they used C418's music!" This was the literal basic standard for the movie's sound track. I would be more surprised if they didn't use it.

"It looks better!" In what way? The iron golem looked great ngl, but everything else was mid or just awful. Go look at the villagers and tell me anything has improved.

"Haha the mines joke was funny!" Its a megacorporation trying to sound like they're in touch.

This is still another live action cash grab, and unfortunately it'll probably work. It pisses me off knowing what we could've gotten instead of this. I have seen so many fantastic ideas from people over here. You can go see the movie if you want, but stop praising it like they've done something good. They haven't.
