"Humanity is weird...."  A patchwork blog of a 27 year old demisexual female and the things that I like, such as Susumu Hirasawa, Vocaloids, MLP, Anime, nostalgia, cats, nostalgic cats, Touhou, crap, puns, music and everything else I can think...

hmmm something’s wrong here…. just can’t put my finger on it

Literally every one of those women’s costumes have a “Yandy” watermark.  I’m going to flip my shit. How many times do I have to say it. 

YANDY IS A LINGERIE SITE. THEY SELL LINGERIE,  FOR WOMEN TO BE SEXY IN. FOR SEX. IT’S. WHAT. THEY. SELL.

THEY ARE NOT AN AVERAGE STORE. THESE ARE NOT YOUR AVERAGE CHOICES. STOP BEING MISLEADING. 

The real question is someone wants to have sex with Oscar the Grouch?

of course it’s not adam and steve, steve is a name with firmly greek origins, what would he be doing in the original aramaic/hebrew text. it’s adam and simeon.

this is probably my favourite comic of all time jsyk

can someone explain this to me?

Sure thing! For convenience I’ll refer to the guy with his arms in his pockets as SG (shorter guy) and the one on the computer as TG (taller guy).

In the first panel, SG sees TG playing on the computer and is disappointed. SG puts a lot of value in the idea of “making things,” specifically “art,” and thinks TG is just wasting their time

So he asks them if they wouldn’t rather be “making something” instead of just playing games and listening to music, implying that TG isn’t doing anything worthwhile or creative with their time

But TG replies that “interpreting is generative,” meaning that even if they spend their time just doing fun stuff, the mere act of enjoying something is creating an experience and an interpretation. Talking about something, dancing to music or sharing a piece of art with your friends IS “making something,” and each of those can be worthwhile and artistic.

SG leaves, complaining he “can’t be an auteur of [interpretation].” Auteur is a movie term that refers to a filmmaker with artistic control and vision enough to be considered essentially the singular creator of the resulting work of art. Turns out, SG doesn’t just want to “make things,” he wants to make things he and others see as “important.” He wants to make art not for the sake of art, but for the sake of being recognized and praised for his art.

This comic really speaks to elitism within the artistic community, the idea that art needs to meet certain standards to be considered art. SG’s viewpoint is really traditionalist, that art need to be “approved” and validated in order to be considered “really art;” while TG recognizes that art can be as little as just talking about what you love.

TLDR: Art is for everyone, not just some sort of social “artistic elite.”

ooh i love the explanation

Rebloging for that in depth and not even a little snarky explanation. 10/10
