I love Final Fantasy, and I want to be a hero to the ones I love. I hope whoever reads this remembers to seek joy, and to embrace whimsy. 💖 Pfp art was drawn by @augurm.bsky.social

I mean, I'm a nihilist and I don't agree with any of the stuff you're calling out either. I feel like nihilism catches a lot of strays, especially lately, because it's misunderstood...

Oh. Sorry... 😓

I had a dream that somebody ran up to me with a copy of a Shrek video game and exclaimed, "How am I supposed to goon to this!?"

I used to use these cans as my water bottles on the daily until i got a proper glass bottle to use. It was okay, but i had to wipe off the aluminum dust around the cap often.

Maybe they had an ai write the sentence for them, too.

Yes. It's also worth noting that most transphobes will simply double down and say trans people shouldnt be allowed to exist. They don't care if it's natural or not, they just wanted ammunition to use. Regardless, it's still a very helpful resource to have for those who are seeking to learn.

lrt THIS IS WHAT I KEEP SAYING TO PEOPLE, YOU DONT HAVE TO MAKE THE BEST THING THAT'S EVER EXISTED, YOU JUST HAVE TO MAKE. you will make it better than a computer. you will probably make it better than a large part of other humans, too, but even if you don't, you Have to Make It! quoth the Man Ever:

Quote by kurt vonnegut: "Go into the arts. I'm not kidding. The arts are not a way to make a living. They are a very human way of making life more bearable. Practicing an art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow, for heavens sake. Sing in the shower. Dance to the radio. Tell stories. Write a poem to a friend, even a lousy poem. Do it as well as you possibly can. You will get an enormous reward. You will have created something."

I think hard SF is fun because of the way it indulges in the workdbuilding. It definitely takes real skill to make those science fiction ideas serve to reinforce the narrative themes and the emotions of the characters though. I really loved Gunnm/Battle Angel Alita for its handling of that.

We actually already had this video tabbed to watch later. I guess we can watch it sooner. Thanks for the rec. 😊

Darcie @darciedoran.bsky.social · 5d

To be honest, not really. I think it's rare for people in the fashion space to take a serious look at pokemon character designs. A lot of the analysis I experienced of it was just from myself and my girlfriend, since we already had the background to identify the stylistic influences.

They tend to be styled after fashion trends that were current at the time in the specific country each game's setting is based on. Familiarity with fashion history allows one to make sense of it.

I kinda do both of these. 😭

Darcie @darciedoran.bsky.social · 8d

After you finish, I'd be happy tell you what I learned about the crucible (if you want)

Darcie @darciedoran.bsky.social · 8d

Just thinking about all of this makes me feel like going to bed. 😓

Darcie @darciedoran.bsky.social · 9d

I think they're just cryptofascists pretending to be normal people, and failing horribly, because they lack emotional intelligence as all fascists do.

Darcie @darciedoran.bsky.social · 9d

I agree fully with this take. I use these platforms for finding art, but I preferred more normal blog sites for that in the past, because i could also enjoy in-depth conversations and essays. Microblogging is destructive towards the communication of ideas and feelings.

I'm living yuri.

Darcie @darciedoran.bsky.social · 11d

You're misunderstanding me. I saif when the masses *feel* cornered. It's not something that happens until it's far too late. There are many cases of this in history.

Darcie @darciedoran.bsky.social · 11d

Fam even if I was your biggest fan in the entire world, if I see you using generative ai for any purpose; it's going to be an instant unsub, and 'do not recommend'. Generative ai is fundamentally life-negating, as in, to use it it is the same as affirming death, which is the exact opposite of art.

Darcie @darciedoran.bsky.social · 11d

That's just not how rebellions work. The masses only rise up when they are starving to death and feel cornered.

Darcie @darciedoran.bsky.social · 12d

Poor education is what gives fascists sway. Have you seen most of the people who voted for it? Their ignorance about even basic facts of recent history is immensely lacking, and they are not capable of logical reasoning, instead relying only on confirmation bias for every value they hold.

Darcie @darciedoran.bsky.social · 14d

Yeah. As an anarchist I feel that a lot...

Darcie @darciedoran.bsky.social · 14d

Ok but have you tried pronouncing the letters phonetically? Sounds very silly lol

Not worth it.
