As a former humanities student, I feel it is my duty to reblog this one.
A tech bro tried to convince me AI was amazing cause "you could make 30,000 screenplays in minutes" not realising that every single one would be shit, you'd have to sift through everything just to find some good bits, time wasted that could've been spent just writing a screenplay.
Technology Brothers know nothing about what goes into creating a work, other than the fact a work has been created to be exploited for cash. They see creativity as an investment opportunity, not a love for humanity.
Accidentally posted this on April Fool's Day, but I promise it's not a joke!

writing fanfiction is just. i’m being so creative and original. i’m plagiarizing everyone by accident. i’m a genius. i’m cringe. i’m too angsty. i’m too cheesy. this is not in character. it doesn’t matter that it’s not in character because these are my characters now. i love my hobby. this is the worst possible use of my time. i’m seeking validation. i’m projecting my own personal problems onto this story and i’m barely hiding it. i know so many words and i’m using all of them wrong. im on tumblr posting about it instead of writing it.

"SURVIVING"
I love the message and artstyle but did they have to give the cute lovable gator depression? T^T carry on lil buddy, this too shall pass
The gator is the whole point. It's a stand-in for the author that has felt the need to suppress the aspects of themself that others find unappealing, their anger, their sadness, the things people find abrasive or just "weird" in order to make themself more digestible for the people around them because the alternative is to be alone. The gator is only "cute" and "lovable" because it was not allowed to be anything else.

Anonymous asked:
I just foun your blog and it's the coolest ever so I gotta know. What are you majoring in?
In a post you mention getting a Phd in musicology but recently some of the stuff you said reminded me of my own communications major.
Anyway, you are so cool and I loved to read your summarize of how tampons vs pads advertisments are made.
Hello friend! (This is perhaps the first time in my life I have been called "cool" lol)
Technically I no longer have a major because I DID FINALLY GRADUATE IN DECEMBER but yes, it was a musicology degree. I minored in media studies since my primary research area is in film music, but musicology is truly such a wide net that as long as you can make an argument that there's music involved, most people are like "yeah sure go research that, have fun."

Fanfic reader's prayer: may my favorite author's hyperfixation on this fandom last longer than mine 🙏
Fanfic writer's prayer: may my hyperfixation last long enough for me to write all the fics in my head.
“phones are disrupting natural sleep cycles” I mean true but also bold of you to assume I had one before the tech boom lol catch me out here reading chapter books by the light of my light up pens in the third grade

I don’t think we’re rick rolling each other enough anymore. 1. it CANNOT die out 2. this under saturated market is perfect for unsuspecting victims who’ve been lulled into a false sense of security. be the person you hate. bring back the dastardly link
someone actually studied the falling Rick Roll rate for their Ph.D dissertation recently and published the paper
