Illustration: Chaka the gourd leshy waving hello! She's very happy and very green, and wears a red poncho/scarf combo. The flowers on her head are very pretty and pink illustration: This black cat has on a purpley blue, pointed hat, covered with golden stars. The rest of its outfit uses the same colors, and it holds a large tome in its little paws, as well as a magic wand with a star on the end. It looks pensive, and lost in thought. Illustration: This little opossum has many wares for sale! Her open cloak show many embroidered patches of items just waiting to be popped into reality. Her nose is pink, and so is her tail. She's grinning hugely and ready for an adventure.

it is absolutely the tech companies fault that people now assume they’re doing something evil and sneaky even when they actually aren’t (regarding the latest Google kerfuffle)

like, no kidding that people have zero willingness to cut big tech the benefit of the doubt anymore

I think there is something beautiful about the fact that humans went from cave-painting to teaching rocks to think with lightning, and now we are using using rhymes and poems to beat AI and circles of salt to trap autonomous creations; the old ways have returned.

This is the version of the post that everyone needs to see. And all you readers/authors despairing of non-comprehension, etc, we are gaining new fans of fantasy and SF. It might not be the fantasy or SF you personally read, but they're reading and buying where they weren't before.

It hits different reading this whole thread.
Alt text: Image showing four text messages about fae in romantasy books: Message 1: “Romantasy question: are the fae open source? I had only known them from SJM books, but didn't expect to see them in Quicksilver!” Message 2: “Didn't have getting dragged in the comments on my bingo card today. Thank you to those that were kind. I'm new to romantasy and fantasy in general. Until I had read SJM, I hadn't encountered books with fae described like that. I didn't make the connection between Celtic folklore, fairies, elves, or sprites with being fae since their characteristics and mannerisms are drastically different. Tink is tiny. Puck has goat legs. The closest I encountered were elves in LOTR, but those were not faeries.” Message 3: “Forgive me for not knowing fae were inspired by Celtic folklore. I'm not Irish. I was never told these stories. I was just surprised two separate book series shared very similar interpretations of fae. I've enjoyed the genre of romantasy bc it's really gotten me back into reading. That's the goal, right? To continue to learn and escape into stories and discuss theories and celebrate the beauty of imagination? At least, that's what I'm gonna focus on.” Message 4: “Clarifying my original point: I never said SJM invented fae. My post was only comparing how Quicksilver and SJM depict fae characters (their traits, dynamics, etc.) and whether THIS interpretation of fae is common in romantasy books, not the origins of the mythology. I also didn't grow up connecting fairies, elves, and fae as one mythology. They were always separate in my mind, so I'm still learning how interconnected they are across folklore. Thanks to those who pointed that out respectfully.”

cinema_nasties 1d Al defenders are so embarrassing j.paulmonter 2h All you are saying is that you want to gatekeep creativity. That's not good. drachelbarr & 20h • •• Neuroscientist here... creativity is a process. A process. A FUCKING PROCESS. Not an output. Nobody is gatekeeping the process - Al simply invites you to skip to the end, to the output. Which, as mentioned, is not creativity. Nobody cares if the output is aesthetically pleasing, because the process, the act itself, the limitation of a single human mind and the resulting creations that capture that one single inimitable human experience... is what makes a creation worth paying attention

You can love someone you love even if you don't love yourself🏳️‍⚧️
But if you love yourself, you can love both yourself and the person you love. Your love becomes twofold.
So take care of yourself.
Your soul is beautiful.

not to like, import discourse from twitter, but this hits the nail on the fucking head what we refer to as "gender" is actually a whole bunch of different things that people keep conflating and any discourse that doesn't detail what aspect we're speaking about is destined to fail
pretty much every unhinged idiot gender discourse stems from the conflation between internal identity, lived experience, and social position, and this is a great example

#3157 A helpful tutorial
A digital drawing of one of those drawing tutorials that says 'don't do this, do this.' The drawing is of an almost naked middle-aged man doing a flying kick. The 'Don't do this' one has a bunch of areas circled and a cross under it. The 'Do this' one is exactly the same but without the circles and a tick instead of a cross. The text reads 'Needlessly adding red circles will ruin your art' and a smaller bit of text at the bottom reads 'Bonus tip! Add a tick under all your art so people think you did it right.'
