Notes!

I have two blogs. One for lurking one for thoughts/art. Is this complicated? Yes.

Anywho. @skyhawkwolf is my lurking blog. Also my main blog

Art blog is @feral-and-chaotic

Art tag:

#Chaotic draws

Or

#my art

It's mostly traditional art and a lot of watercolor but some of it is digital now!:D

Honestly I can tell you finding out art was made by AI really does immediately, legitimately sour it for me, like people will trot this out as a Gotcha for anti-AI people but it's just making it clear they don't consider art to be the conversation that it is lol. It's similar to the way Harry Potter immediately soured for me because engaging with it while knowing the kind of heart Rowling is writing from changes the way the work feels; there isn't any moralizing or whatever that I have to do, it's easy to drop it because it's rotted in my hands.

"Oh but you LIKED this song before, nothing changed!" The conversational partner did. A very large portion of what is interesting to me about art is thinking of why the creator chose that instrumentation, or what made them want to make the thing in the first place. Finding out I've been talking to a wall completely removes an entire third of the force that art is to me, and I can't argue that anything about art or its consumption is Objectively Correct but I can argue it's fucking boring lmao

iive been so obsessed with this video for days

Haydove and Hayffie shippers do not fight, unionize against the real enemy (Haysilee shippers)

What? No april fools joke this year tumblr staff? Not really feelin it this year tumblr staff? No quip about copy or lizards tumblr staff? No weird horse we have to keep alive tumblr staff? No fake premium avatars tumblr staff?? You disgust me

fun facts: apparently the april fool’s day joke was contained entirely in the group chat function, which nobody fucking uses

That's hilarious 😂

“I didn’t want to let them in, her and peeta, but the walls of a person’s heart are not impregnable, not if they have ever known love.”

Haymitch tried so very hard to break the arena and make the Capitol look stupid, only for 95% of his efforts to get edited out. But Katniss sees the bit with the axe and concludes that Haymitch was punished for messing with the arena in a way he wasn't meant to.

Yes, it's hideous how Haymitch tried to send a message over and over again only for it to get erased. But the Capitol couldn't get all of it. There was still a little in there that they couldn't erase.

This list was created consulting Year in Reviews, Fanlore articles, user feedback, vintage pinterest posts, and my own knowledge. Don't worry about not seeing the shows in their entirety, vote based on your judgement. Enjoy!

actually i love the reveal that the only reason effie got involved with the hunger games at all was because her little sister needed her.

there are katniss parallels everywhere for those with eyes to see

Everyone's giving Beetee shit for using the same plan twice, but nobody is giving Snow nearly enough shit for letting Beetee near an arena again and not having a plan for the exact thing he tried last time.

do y'all remember when they found all that tf art in Osamu Tezuka's drawer post-mortem because I think about it often

anyway keep chasing your bliss and draw weird shit, god knows we need that right now

Haymitch and his ducklings

OH MY GODDDDD ITS PERFECT 😭😭😭😭😭😭

genuinely wheezing laughing at this description of dicken's awful pet with lead poisoning

important thing i forgot to mention: i looked this up bc adam read a thing about how dicken's pet was an inspiration for poe's "the raven" and we were like "well thats not true" but now that ive looked it up, i believe it

Yep! Dickens cited Grip as inspiration for the talking raven in his novel Barnaby Rudge, and Poe was one of its earliest critics (literary critic here being a career title, poe quite liked the work), and he spent time in his review discussing how raven could have been utilized to a stronger effect. Some time later, he used that concept in The Raven.

Dickens was distraught at Grip's passing and had him preserved. He currently resides in the US, in the Free Library of Philadelphia's rare books archive in Pennsylvania and can be visited with appointment.

@hydrofelicity Good stranger, pray do not hide this gem amongst the tags

Fun fact! You can see Grip’s taxidermied corpse in Philly. Finally found a pic i took of him lol
