Shoutout To Leia Organa For Showing Almost No Fear When Facing Down Vader And Tarkin At Age 19, But Screaming

Several million real ass human occupations paying 3 crisp dollars and a pat on the ass to experience literal sisyphean torture and live in a cardboard box and you spent several small countries in money to build a robot that can shit out badly written books that nobody has the money to buy, the time to read, or the learned intellectual capacity to analyze critique and learn from

The next person who tells me to save time with an AI crapbasket is getting a Canon LS-100TS 10 digit calculator shoved up their ass

I was thinking about Midge and Lenny while working on a new chapter of “Very Blue Lives” (it’s on ao3, please go read and review. I need validation like Lenny and Midge need each other).

Anyways, I was thinking about Midge and Lenny in Miami and why Midge turned Lenny down.

Sure the bs Vegas train wreck just happened, and Carol kind of freaked her out, but those answers are boring.

First of all, he’s weirdly reluctant to talk about her career. In Miami, whether she knows it or not, Lenny’s avoidance to discuss her career is part of the reason she walks away. Flash forward to the blue room, he’s making it clear that he listens to her and promises to take her seriously, and that’s when she decides “yes, okay. Let’s see what’s between us.”

She needs him to take her seriously as a comic, and once she realizes that he does, she’s willing to be vulnerable with him as a woman.

And that’s a great step for Midge, who isn’t taken seriously personally or professionally, especially by people she loves.

Season 5 Episode 6 spoilers below:

Gotta love how Joel went behind Midge’s back to solve the problem with the mobsters. He could’ve shown her the book or went back to her to raise his concerns again now that he had tangible proof. But no. It’s Joel, so he has to lie and go behind her back about stuff that pertains to her own life. This man has learned absolutely nothing.

Also hate that he’s trading pictures of her in prison. He specifically asks for the panty pose picture which is so gross. He got mad at someone for having it in S3 but whatever.

I almost rage-quit when Midge said she was still in love with Joel. I still hate her romance plots this season. Gordon is gross. The stalker guy is gross. Joel still sucks. The guy literally blamed Midge for Mei leaving and ending the pregnancy. Yeah Midge was probably still a little jealous since Joel was such a huge part of her life, but there’s a lot of concern for her children driving it as well. “I don’t want them calling you mom.” Is a line that especially has a lot of insecurity behind it.

I guess the rest of the episode was okay. Unsurprisingly, Alex Borstein was great, but I am totally on Midge’s side in regards to her fight with Susie. Susie should’ve told Midge the truth.

I almost cried at the ending.

I miss Lenny. But that’s why we have fanfic.

Also, I know it was a joke, but Midge says she and Susie had sex in Pensacola and refers to their fight as a “break-up”…so…I want to see that story.

You know what, fuck everyone who hates AI "art" but still uses c.ai and other fuckeries. Would it be that hard to look up a fanfiction or a fanart? I have zero respect towards you. Even you could create what you can't find, but instead decide to chat 24/7 with a fucking bot and then not quit moaning about how short it's memory is. HAVE YOU THOUGHT OF JUST CREATNG SOMETHING YOURSELF? No, it won't look as goo as it does in your head, but my god, at least you didn't waste as much water in the meantime! Also, pls stop using chatgpt for every little inconvenience and homework, it really says more about you than the difficulty of the task in question. Aredhel out.

Head canon: When Midge and Lenny get married, he has the numbers from her fortune cookie engraved on her wedding ring. She has “I’ll always bring my umbrella” engraved on his.

This head canon comes features in “Two Comics Walk Into Temple…” part of my “Domestic Burlesque” series on ao3. Please go check it out and review!

School Spirits' 'Anatomy of a Fallout Shelter' Gives Viewers Moments of Tender of Longing

School Spirits Season 2, Episode 7, "Anatomy of the Fallout Shelter" delivers some of the sweetest moments of intimacy.

As people continue to argue that intimacy isn’t necessary on TV, we’ll keep championing more of it. Intimacy matters. Romance matters. Consensual sex scenes that, yes, elevate the plot (and even if they didn’t) matter. We wrote about it for Severance’s “Attila,” and now it’s important to address it in School Spirits‘ “Anatomy of a Fallout Shelter.”

Things I've learned about gen-ai while stealing and re-drawing over screenshots I've found over the last week:

A single prompt uses about 500ml of water... with thousands of new prompts made every second... holy fucking shit.

It doesn't follow a single rule of art. No rule of thirds, no guiding lines, no colour theory... it's uncomfortable because lacks any kind of human perspective on what constitutes art & connection.

About 20% or more of your daily feed includes some kind of AI garbage that doesn't do anything to improve your experience. It doesn't need to be there.

It fuckin' sucks.

wait whats wrong with chatgpt :(

just the minor little issue of it actively killing the planet, draining the creative marrow from everything it touches, and posing an existential threat to workers, responsibility, national security, and, oh yeah, privacy.

imagine a machine that not only guzzles electricity but also flattens human expression into soulless, regurgitated slop while quietly replacing entire industries. and let’s not forget. every word it generates is a tiny little middle finger to the concept of accountability. so, yeah. nothing major. just a slow-motion apocalypse wrapped in a shiny, user-friendly interface

I will forever choose to believe that the metacrisis lets Donna and Rose Noble stay immortal with Fourteen forever.

This has no impact on anything. They still have family dinners and forever take low-key trips through time and space.

No more angst. Just family and magic and happiness and the Doctor in the Tardis with his best friend and his niece.

Did…did Joel just use his wife as a napkin? Like, he drags his hand down her shoulder after touching food. But ASP wants me to think this guy is Midge’s one true love? Okay.
