I finally watched The Sound of Music and like I get it now, I get it.
It’s a beautiful two hour love story of a strict man finally opening his heart again and then a fifty minute public service announcement to hate the nazis. Brilliant.
the thing is that childhood doesn't just end when you turn 18 or when you turn 21. it's going to end dozens of times over. your childhood pet will die. actors you loved in movies you watched as a kid will die. your grandparents will die, and then your parents will die. it's going to end dozens and dozens of times and all you can do is let it. all you can do is stand in the middle of the grocery store and stare at freezers full of microwave pizza because you've suddenly been seized by the memory of what it felt like to have a pizza party on the last day of school before summer break. which is another ending in and of itself
i feel like i'm going Italian

Quincey motivating the group on their way to Transylvania
This is making the rounds on BlueSky, but I haven't seen it here yet.
Twitter is rolling out a "Recreate this with Grok" button directly on images now when you open them. Also, some people have experienced their artwork getting labeled as 'made with Grok'
I understand why some people have tried to stay but, please at the very least start transitioning your work to other places so at the very least you have a exit without hurting your finances too much.
Twitter is only going to become more hostile towards artists. It's full of poison and it's only a matter of time before it fully erodes.
Can we go back to mistaking Frankenstein's monster for Frankenstein please. Imagine how pissed Victor Frankenstein would be over his creation having his family name. How fucking funny is it to imagine him just losing his mind at the very thought of his son creation just being casually called Frankenstein like it is so hilarious to me. Please it's what he deserves.
Some quick drawings because I've caught up on Dracula Daily! Jonathan is NOT having a good time
Hope you enjoy, and have an AWESOME day!!
