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.

Growing up is actually just enjoying the exact same things you enjoyed at 14 years old, but in a more gay way
Ok hear me out
Every interaction between Caleb, and Evelyn. Evelyn is trying to flirt with Caleb but he doesn’t notice, so eventually Evelyn just stops flirting just to tired to continue, so her and Caleb just talk, and eventually Caleb asks Evelyn to stop flirting Evelyn tells him she stopped and hasn’t been flirting this whole time. Turns out boiling isles and human realm flirting are to very different things.

“Nat 20 baby!”
here's a quick guide for understanding how to shop for computer parts
_____
CPU - This is your computer's brain. More advanced brains mean more complex things can be done, but CPUs have gotten so advanced in general that you don't actually need a top of the line CPU for most PC functions, even for playing graphically intensive video games (with some exceptions).
GPU - This thing is what makes the graphics on anything you run on your PC. You also don't need a top end one for most PC functions, but if you want to crank that video game to max settings and see the pores on your fave's face, you will need a good GPU. GPUs used to be cheaper many years ago, but when crypto became a thing, people bought GPUs to mine cryptocurrency which drove the prices up like crazy. (In the rare case a video game is said to be "CPU-bound", it means it doesn't matter how good your GPU is, that game's performance is going to be more affected by how good your CPU is instead. )
RAM - This is your computer's attention span. The more RAM you have, the more (or bigger) things your computer can do at once. Programs that ask your computer to calculate a ton of stuff at once have higher RAM demands. Nowadays, you want to have a minimum of 12 gigabytes of RAM if your computer is purely for work, and 16 if it's for gaming. Even mere internet browsers are heavy on RAM usage nowadays.
Storage - Your computer's memory. The bigger your storage, the more files and programs you can save. These come in two types. 1) HDDs are cheap, stable, and slow due to being old tech. Perfect for storing all your files. 2) SSDs are more expensive, not as stable (if they fail it's a lot harder to recover the contents as opposed to an HDD), and way WAAY faster than HDDs. It's better to install your programs on SSDs if you want them to load like lightning.
Power supply - Your uh, your computer's power supply. Plug it into a wall and your computer can turn on.
Motherboard - All of these parts have to combine to form a computer right? The motherboard is the big circuit board you attach all these parts to, the skeleton of your PC. Not every computer part can fit on every motherboard, so make sure yours fits!
Fans - Fans attached to your computer to prevent your precious and expensive equipment from melting into a sad puddle because you decided to play Monster Hunter Wilds. Some are loud, some are quiet, as long as it keeps your parts cool, you're good. Some PCs dont use fans and instead have complex liquid cooling systems (and some people stuff their motherboard into an open freezer).

If you don't know what you're looking at with all the long numbers and weird names, simply find out what part it is, google that name + review, and you'll get nerds on the internet telling you if it's worth the price.
For example, a thing says 'RTX 5090'. That thing is a GPU. Just google the exact model's name + review and nerds on the internet will tell you if it's worth it (it's not, don't buy a 5090).
If it's your very first time and you've got a tight budget, google "PC build for under X dollars" where X is your budget. You'll find many suggestions, sometimes with builds tailored for specific purposes (video editing, office work, PC gaming, rendering 3D, etc)

so embarrassing to get obsessed with your own oc but it doesn't fuel you creatively or motivate you at all you just sort of sit there. like yeah I've been thinking a lot about blorbo from my mind. no images of them exist in the world and they have maybe 3 personality traits so far. I would rather die than attempt to write about them. I've spent the last 48 hours rotating them in my brain though
Funniest thing to me is keyboard smashes that look close enough to words that people assume they must be words in another language.
This isn't a "SGJDGDJ" it's a "shauhsuah" type-thing. And I find the ensuing "What does that mean?" Hilarious
Last night I was trying to go to bed before my third eye opened and realized cavenpuss has four dads, doof made him, Dakota is the reason he was made, and Perry and cavendish’s dna was used to make him, so the qeustion stands what would their ship name be
Anne and Sasha really didn’t hold Marcy back yeah she could have been the youngest college grad but she doesn’t seem to care the finale makes it seem like she didn’t even go to college and is just an artist she doesn’t care about school like op said she didn’t try even if she went to college early she probably wouldn’t be stressed but she probably wouldn’t be happy. There is also the problem of her having a d in gym which would have probably been a problem.
I just realized something. We know that Marcy’s one of if not the smartest character in Amphibia. She gets straight A’s without even trying, learns about other cultures because she got BORED and was interested in them, learned the basics of alchemy before she even met Maddie, studied amphibian biology, could hack into moderately secure areas like the PA system at SJMS, and beat the King of Amphibia in a game that she JUST figured out how to play after a while of living in the castle. Marcy’s gift of intelligence is an understatement. I mean, she easily could’ve skipped a couple grades and graduate early, but she didn’t. And that’s because of two people. Anne and Sasha! They… for a lack of better wording, they were holding her back. Marcy was so obsessed with the two of them, she genuinely can’t imagine a life without them in it, even when they constantly ignore and neglect her needs. Heck, I’m sure her parents even tried convincing her to move up a grade, but at the end of the day, Marcy would have the final say and she’d say no because she wanted to be with her BFFs. Which is awful in itself because nobody should sacrifice the possibility of great things happening to them for someone else! I’m fucking sure Marcy could’ve absolutely obliterated the World Record for youngest college grad if she really wanted to.
Marcy must be really gay if she’s willing to go that far for Anne and Sasha.
tbh sometimes i see three colors that aren't even pink green and blue and i still go like oh my god. sashannarcy.

+ lineup
Dragon designs of toh palisman largely inspired by the incredible fic by @fianightshade + bonus Stringbean because i couldnt not draw them. GO READ THIS FIC ITS SO GOOD
Definitely want to do more art for the fic, the scenes are so vivid and clear in my mind, but I feel like a few of these designs I want to fine tune a bit more (also I don't think they actually follow the descriptions of the actual fic, oh well)
Emmiline is the only design I'm not totally sold on but I'll figure it out.
Forever thankful to creative people. I love being inspired and this was such a fun design challenge for myself. I just love the variety of designs <3
Idk I might as well try I’m just kinda bored (this is what it meant by share right or am I just dumb)

You know what I want in Phineas and Ferb season 5, a song where all the vocals are done by Perry, and not even a goofy song this is the hypest most insane better than any other song ever made would win the Emmy’s any day but the the lyrics are “grr, grr… grrrrr grr grrrrrr”
So bill is leading in but I personally think belos is worse for a couple of reasons, first he can hide with the core you have a big helmet and needs the wires, and yeah technically bill is better at hiding because it’s just the eyes so some sunglasses and he’s set, but as a ghost you can ask for help, with belos he can hide inside you for who knows how long. Plus belos has the most power well possessing people with the stretchy goo limbs. And yeah bill, and the core are smarter than belos, but I’m pretty sure belos being in you for to long is straight up lethal based on the fact he leaves scares and the deer he possessed was either already dead or more likely I think, EAT AWAY YOUR SKIN! (Also hunter did seem dead before flapjack saved him but that could have been cause of the water) The core will keep you around because they need you, and bill would be fine just killing you but you have to let bill into your mind belos just forces himself into you. But I no matter what being possessed by anyone would be horrifying.
