What people don’t get is that it’s not about the art! If I just wanted to look at something pretty, I’d look it up. No. Art isn’t about the product, it’s about the PROCESS. It’s the joy in creating, in pouring your soul and love into this beautiful piece and knowing that YOU created it. Do we have something to look at once it’s done? Yes! And that’s amazing! But it’s about looking at it and knowing that you put in the work to make it beautiful.
Ai art? What did you do? You wrote some words down? What else? What do you have to be proud of? What did you make? What did you pour your heart into that you can look at and say “I made that”? Huh? Nothing. You look at it and all it is is a collection of other artists, other people, other HUMANS that had their souls ripped from those lines and colors to be pieced together by a machine to make an image. It isn’t art. It isn’t. Art takes humanity and when that PROGRAM generates a piece, all the humanity was boiled out of it in those servers it used.
Is it an image? Yes. Is it beautiful? Some say so. But there is no one to look at that orphaned amalgamation, at that Frankenstein of true beauty, to say “I made that and I am proud of it.” It is cruel to everyone involved.
Art is never about the product. To create is to be human. There is no such thing as “bad art” that was made by a person because art is about expressing and you putting pen to paper or clay together or music notes or ANYTHING is expression.
“A.I art” is not art because art takes humanity and this has no humanity left.

He seeeessss youuuuu
Thank you to all the TMA fans but I wanted to be clear, this isn’t Jon. It’s my OC named Malachi. I tag him with TMA bc that’s what he’s inspired by.
I actually use the Dark Arthur concept for my main AU (Chaotic Minds) and I view them similarly.
For those who don’t know, I created CM out of a “what if” where the story focuses on Dark Arthur and Kayne as a piece of Nyarlathotep that was severed instead of the KIY. Me and the others working on it have found that they play well into a “I love you so much that I want to devour you” type thing. They’re a bond forged by blood (as OP stated before), but they actively feed into each other. CM!Darthur cuts his arm off in a psychotic break related to his rejection of touch from Kayne. Their “loving touch” is more about biting and scratching, leaving marks to show their love. In the end, Arthur is much less human than they began.
I always love to see different interpretations of Darthur.
DARK!ARTHUR/JARTHUR RANT !!!!
i think dark!jarthurs are a bond made in blood. i mean, orig jarthurs killed people too, but they bonded in other way, through circumstance and love mostly, whichever kind of love it may be. dark!arthur didn’t want to depend on dark!john unlike og!arthur, he found him an even awful… -er being, he wanted him gone so much he cut his arm off. He was scared much more than og!arthur. but even if d!arthur resented d!john, they still were together. so they still got close and began understanding eachother more. they are like a poor old couple that doesn’t bicker, just sits together in a sad haze. neither of them wanted this, but they have this nonetheless. d!arthur is sorry for taking d!johns autonomy, in return, d!john is sorry for taking d!arthurs eyesight, even if it wasn’t voluntary. i don’t think they would have that much arguments as og!jarthurs, at least later in the story. d!arthur takes d!john as he is, and d!john understands that, and he wants to change, to be better because he cares for d!arthur. i think they would cooperate more than og!jarthurs, sorry…
all that is to say that dark!arthur would be more gentle to dark!yellow, if he would even exist in that universe
also i think that after d!john took over d!arthurs arm, he would immediately start calling it d!johns. not because he respects d!johns autonomy, but because he would be so repulsed by the fact that d!john has control over his arm, he would rather lose it. verbally and in mind, i mean.
Chaotic Minds AU in a nutshell
still thinking about this podcast btw

The Vast (3/15) “The Neverland”
The Vast (3/15) “Neverland”
The Neverland is a creature which never touches the ground, having stayed in the sky for its entire being, though this does not mean it doesn’t come close to the ground as that is how it gets its victims. The Neverland uses its strong legs and massive talons to snatch up victims when they walk alone. It does not eat them right away, instead tossing and dropping them through the air, devouring their fear before they devour the flesh. It was also known for dive-bombing small planes, ski lifts and gondolas, anything small that moves through the air. When no hunting, it flies among the clouds, the distance from the ground and general silhouette allowing it to disguise itself as a bird. It is likely you have seen the creature but were lucky enough to not walk alone.
PLEASE do yourself a favour and check out this wikipedia-styled template for google drive, made by @ Rukidut on twitter
I decided to try to sort my ideas and whats canon regarding my ocs with this and ITS PERFECT. IT ALL FEELS SO CONRETE. and i sure as hell AM Going to continue to use this with every single OC I have until google drives is set ablaze- Just!!!!!!!!
Also; link directly to the doc, just copy the file and you have your own lil template!!!!
Pfft, campaigning I see
Yes yes, I’m doing this again. Last time the Vast and the Spiral won and I had so much fun designing my guy. So, I’m doing another poll!
I am making a TMA OC and the top 2 fears will be combined into one avatar! This time I’m making more of the fears available, choose wisely!
****ARTISTRY IN MAGNUS PROTOCOL****
Theory/Discussion
Ive somewhat noticed something. It could be absolutely nothing or unintentional but I wanted to point it out. Art in its different forms seems to be pretty common throughout Magnus protocol.
Of course, the obvious Ink5oul and her tattoos. There’s a few of them scattered in different episodes. She often refers to people as Canvases including one of the victims just being an artist. Gerry is also brought up again and gives Cilia one of his paintings. Music from the violin episode is also pretty blatantly about art.
Some of the less obvious is the art of gardening (episode where a man becomes overtaken by plants in a gorgeous garden), architecture (episode where a man is trapped within a specific style of architecture), gambling (episode based on rolling dice and playing the odds), comedy (episodes that include Bonzo), and cooking (episode where a chef is hired to cook “the kill”).
Of course, there are a couple episodes that don’t fit perfectly into this but I felt the need to point it out. So much of it surrounds artistry and creativity of humans.
Damnnnnn love it
