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 don't remember the books so well, what is legolas' personality like in them? all i remember is tht the books and movie where massively different?

Oh my dear anon. I could go on about book Legolas for hours.

Book Legolas is a sassy little sh*t who skips on the surface of the snow when everyone else is drowning in it up to their waists and carrying the four hobbits. Book Legolas sleeps with his eyes open. He watches Aragorn throw himself to the groud and listen to the sound of running horses, only to say afterwards, “yeah, there are a hundred and five of them, they’re all blond and they all have spears nbd“. Book Legolas cries that Gollum escaped grom Mirkwood right after everyone was like, “phew, it’s good that Thranduil’s elves keep an eye on him, what could go wrong???“. He screams all the time, and occasionally drops his bow too. He kills a warg, shooting it right in the throat with a burning arrow. Book Legolas is a trees stan. Book Legolas walk away singing “To the Sea! To the Sea!“. Book Legolas is not afraid of zombies, thank you very much. He addreses his friends “children“, even though he is probably the youngest elf in Middle-Earth that we know of. And of course, book Legolas takes none of your bs, builds his own grey boat because who says he can’t sail on his own ship right, packs his best friend and shows up in Valinor 120 years late with Starbucks and a dwarf.

pop culture intertextuality is just so damn *fascinating*

today a parody movie (50 shades of black) comes out, based on the 50 shades of grey movie, which was based on the 50 shades book, which was based on twilight, which was somewhat based on interview with the vampire (which anne rice based on an earlier short story she wrote), which was based on Dracula and other vampire stories, which originally came from Dr. John Polidori’s The Vampyre (even though Vampires were a thing in folk tales before then, he was the one who made them all classy, etc.)

so really, like so many things, this is all Lord Byron’s fault.

Why im convinced that levihan is/will be canon

(OMG finally! Yoo this took waay longer than i thought. But that’s becouse there’s so many evidence! you’ll see. Hope you like it and feel free to debate. Also, it contains spoilers from up to chapter 90)

So it’s evident that I’m a levihan shipper all the way, it’s my otp. But besides all the love I feel for this two characters and their relationship, i actually have my many reasons to believe that it’s completely possible that they end up together. This is a mega post that reunites all the info i have from both my investigation and analysis and things i’ve gattered from different places. It’s gonna be a long way so make some coffee and take a sit 😂

First, their relationship. They aren’t opposites, like many people say, they are complementary. She gives him joy and positivism and he gives her a better view of reality and encourages her to take care of herself. They are both abnormals, in fact Levi himself points this out.

He says hanji is an abnormal and later he says that he’s an abnormal (that’s so cute!).

there are some pretty triggering things over there

I advise you...

do not

my biggest regret today...

What I like about Fairy Tail

I’ve seen alot of people saying they don’t like Fairy Tail, and I respect that of course it’s their opinion. Which means this is also my opinion, please don’t try to take anything personally.

1. The characters

Fairy Tail is full of interesting and different characters. I don’t mean just the main group, but everyone.

I love the heartwarming way the characters act together and I also love their bonds and relationships. I enjoy seeing animes where there isn’t alot of love triangles constantly being throw in your face, or drama between characters. My favorite character is Lucy Heartfilia, she’s cute, smart, nice and tries to protect her friends dearest to her. I know she isn’t the strongest wizard but she doesn’t care, she still tries to help out her friends in need.

I love the members of Fairy Tail, aswell as the other guild’s. They are so interesting and unique and it’s so nice.

2. The ships

I know, everyone has different ships within fairy tail and that’s alright but these are my own ships. Natsu and Lucy are adorable, and they have a relationship based on mutual trust, and friendship. They are one of the most developed relationship I have ever seen in an anime. You can really see the difference from the first time they met to now. Levy and Gajeel always had a bit of sexual tension, and I always expected them to get together before everyone else. Its the “bad boy and good girl,” trope that gets overused but in fairy tail it works pretty well. Jellal and Erza are one of the most obvious ones that make me scream. They knew each other since they were small babies and they obviously care for each other. He sees Erza as his saviour and light in the dark and she gives him hope. She sees him as the small child that once was her best friend. I really do hope they end up together because they would make one bad add couple. Juvia and Gray is the obvious Senpai ship. Juvia is obsessed with Gray and Gray tried to deny her. Yet, the character development is crazy. He sees her as a strong wizard and a caring person, and even though she does annoy him he still cares about her. I do think Gray has changed his mindset about Juvia since she joined the guild.

Some ships I do ship, but not really based on alot of evidence is Mira and Laxus, and Happy and Carla. They are cute but I haven’t seen any development.

3. The magic

I love the magic in this anime, it’s so pretty, cool and interesting. Espically the different types of magic, I thought it would get boring since there were multiple people with the same magic but no, it’s the opposite. The idea of only a certain amount of people having the same magic is fascinating.

4. The humor

Fairy Tail is definitely comedic, it’s very funny. I have enjoyed the humor in this anime for a while now and I have never stopped. Its hilarious!

5. The drawing style

Yes I know the anime and manga are different but I love the manga. The drawing style is so simple yet so beautiful. I have never gotten tired of how pretty and detailed hiros comics are.

6. The length

For someone just joining Fairy Tail it may be bad that it’s so long! But for me, I’ve been here since the beginning and I love it. I like longer manga and anime series and it also doesn’t end right away…which makes me sad.

7. The plot

I have always enjoy the plot in Fairy Tail, the twists and turns and character development and cool magic and cute outfits. Who wouldn’t love it? I enjoy the intense plot and interesting facts about this other world. I love it

Those were a few things I love about Fairy Tail, hope you enjoyed. If you want me to make another list of something, let me know.

Or am I right?

Am I wrong?
