Information Wall (with Hat)

Everything is 200% better with a hat.

Reblogging again because I got an anon last week whining cause they did this to one of my unfinished series and the bot killed Y/N so now they want ME to give them a happy ending. Like. No. Suffer, bitch.

None of yall know my A03 but if I ever find out that anyone fed the fics I put my heart and soul into to a brainless plagiarism machine so it could spit out some shitfuck part 2 like a goddamn happy meal, as if a lifetime of genuine hard work and effort is worth that goddamn little to you that you can disrespect like that, I'm going to open up fics I haven't updated in years just to canonical kill off everyone in the worst fucking ways I can think of

It's really too bad that people will settle for not great, but just good enough. And I feel that's the real problem with AI. Not that it can out perform a artist or writer, but can do good enough to the point that most people won't really care and I'm not sure what to do about it.

Let's for a moment forget the obvious answer of where the pain would be in like, everywhere but the leg.

Actually, you will most certainly feel the pain IN THE LEG long after it is gone and the stump of your thigh heals. Though I doubt OP knew that phantom pains were a thing or did not at least have them in mind at the time they made this post.

Severed limbs hurt for years after amputation. Or so I've heard.

Can you imagine a pain or an itch that can not be treated because the injury no longer exists?

why the hell are you here

isnt it obvious? she's here to let everyone know some interesting details about amputations. so lets all be respectful and listen to what she has to say ok?

oh yeah you're right, my bad

i like drawing characters looking at bugs. silver is mad at this bug

your silver so crumb he got carried away by ants

He forgot ants can lift 200 times their body weight.

I want to go to this exact point and run around it saying “I’m in Sweden!” I’m in Finland!” “I’m in Norway!” until I get tired

i aspire to great things in life

According to Google Maps, that point is in the middle of a small lake.

So we’ll do it in January when it’s frozen.

actually that’s why they’ve helpfully dropped a big-ass cement block with a bridge surrounding it in the middle of the lake: for the express purpose of doing what OP aspires to do

there’s so much beauty in the world.

What the fuck

This is absolutely fascinating. I've now been looking at Alex Colville's paintings and trying to work out what it is about them that makes them look like CGI and how/why he did that in a world where CGI didn't exist yet. Here's what I've got so far:

- Total lack of atmospheric perspective (things don't fade into the distance)

- Very realistic shading but no or only very faint shadows cast by ambient light.

- Limited interaction between objects and environment (shadows, ripples etc)

- Flat textures and consistent lighting used for backgrounds that would usually show a lot of variation in lighting, colour and texture

- Bodies apparently modelled piece by piece rather than drawn from life, and in a very stiff way so that the bodies show the pose but don't communicate the body language that would usually go with it. They look like dolls.

- Odd composition that cuts off parts that would usually be considered important (like the person's head in the snowy driving scene)

- Very precise drawing of structures and perspective combined with all the simplistic elements I've already listed. In other words, details in the "wrong" places.

What's fascinating about this is that in early or bad CGI, these things come from the fact that the machine is modelling very precisely the shapes and perspectives and colours, but missing out on some parts that are difficult to render (shadows, atmospheric perspective) and being completely unable to pose bodies in such a way as to convey emotion or body language.

But Colville wasn't a computer, so he did these same things *on purpose*. For some reason he was *aiming* for that precise-but-all-wrong look. I mean, mission accomplished! The question in my mind is, did he do this because he was trying to make the pictures unsettling and alienating, or because in some way, this was how he actually saw the world?

omf i never thought i'd find posts about alex colville on tumblr, but! he's a local artist where i'm from & i work at a library/archives and have processed a lot of documents related to his art. just wanted to give my two cents!

my impression is that colville did see the world as an unsettling place and a lot of his work was fueled by this general ~malaise?? but in a lot of cases, he was trying to express particular fears or traumas. for instance, this painting (horse and train) was apparently inspired by a really tragic experience his wife had:

iirc she was in a horrible automobile crash, as the car she was in collided with a train. i find it genuinely horrifying to look at, knowing the context, but a lot of colville's work is like that? idk he just seems to capture the feeling you get in nightmares where everything is treacle-ish and slow and inevitable.

i had the primal urge to draw them being a family also nimona totally bites

I've been looking for this thank you

it would take 2.3 million years for Jeff Bezos to earn his $183.3b net worth working 24 hours a day at New Mexico’s $9/hr minimum wage.

That’s 11.5 times longer than the human race has existed.

Purgatory Prime

Oh and he also has to pay rent and food and bills

Doesn't the money go beyond just his networth? And if so should he have to work for that too?

This doesn’t include the best bit of the whole thing - she found the Twitter thread!

I know it’s not hard to point out reactionaries hypocrisy when it comes to like safe spaces or hug boxes or whatever but genuinely how much of an echo chamber do you have to exist in for you to think this is a reasonable thing to say

reblog if attacking fascism is really the hill you want to die on

this is literally like one of the most justified and honorable hills you could die on??? lol??

Quick someone reply with the gif™️

Always reblog this if you are cool
