fiction is a safe space to think of unsafe things

if you feel it's messing you up, step away. don't assume it's messing everyone up and you need to eradicate it because you caught a case of the feel-bads from something. go sit with that and think about why instead of pissing in everyone else's cheerios.

Like i stress myself out, twist myself up in knots thinking "what if someone gets this thing and feels like I wasted their time??" I cant stand it. I try to let it go and just create.

And meanwhile people with more money than God want to shovel cement down your throat and call it lunch.

Like "give me your money so I can give you slop I didn't even bother make "

Okay so you think your audience is stupid and deserves to be robbed?? Man fuck you.

People work so hard for their wages. I want to give you something worth your time. I know how hard and bad it all is.

This is why, more and more, I just can't muster up any desire to be a success in the mainstream art world. They want AI to make "content" for people who don't care.

I care about my art, and I want to give it to an audience who cares.

An audience i like and respect.

like, the main purpose of generative AI is to simply override the inconveniences of humans – boundaries, consent, and wages. thats what it does at its core

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is one of the greatest games I've played. I wanted to show my love for the game and did so in the only way I knew I could, by learning how to make baguettes!

Many years ago I did a show called Sagas of Sundry.

It was immersive horror, great storytelling, and reality show style skill challenges.

Now I want to bring it back, but call it Tales of Dread.

But I need your help. So I'm taking this project to Kickstarter.

to add: it speaks also to how the aesthetics of fascism are always stolen or appropriated. the swastika is from euroasian religions like hinduism or buddhism. the fedora was originally women's fashion. gAI being popular among fascists makes sense when its entire function is to steal aesthetics

chira 🎋 @artofchira.bsky.social · 2d

idk if it's overly reductive but I'm convinced fascism is born out of creative envy. every far right character is a failed or obsolete writer/comedian/actor/artist/etc

which is so annoying since these are losers who made their rainbow drawing not being good enough for the fridge society's problem

I think society isn't really honest about the contempt it has for the arts and those who choose a life in it. the trope of 'the suffering artist' isn't really made by artists, it's made by people who think artists should suffer and sometimes artists internalize it when they shouldn't

This happened on tumblr too. I had to clean out ALL posts/reblogs w/flags or that MIGHT get flagged so my own blog could remain visible. In order to assure folks can still see my art here, I have to clean out old posts. It ultimately discourages ever posting much here & certainly discourages reblogs

Theres lots of labels not in the main Moderation settings that mods can use to effectively hide posts globally on here.

Check your [Settings > Moderation > BlueSkyModeration Service > scroll down here]

to see what you have auto-hidden vs getting censor warnings about vs are still shown

RavennoWithTea || ✧⁠*⁠。𓄿 @ravennowithtea.bsky.social · 3d

Moderators decide that.
It is not something that one can flag on one's own posts.
