A picture of a bedroom in the morning. A large mass of vines has entered through the open window and covers most of the bed and wall. On the bed, the plant betrays the shape of a person beneath, choked in their sleep as they lied in a fetal position. Small, purple flowers bloom around them.

A closeup of an eye. Seen through the pupil, a group of small jellyfish floats calmly through the fluid of the vitreous body.

Beneath clear pond waters, colourful carps swim around water lilies whose leaves repeat infinitely. The fish, despite their strange Mandelbrot forms, move around with grace.

I don't have a "no AI" disclaimer on my bio.
I refuse to define myself based on the existence of the machine that's poisoning society. I make things with my human hands and eyes and time. That's as much as a bio should say, I think. Anyone who reads it should understand without me referencing AI.

two screenshots from The X-Files, one right after the other. the first is Gillian Anderson in a dark room, out of focus, the top half of her face in shadows, her glasses reflecting the blue background and white text of her computer screen (which is out of frame). the second shot has pulled her face into focus, the text is no longer visible in glasses, but the lgasses are still heavily blue, her eyes just visible behind them. it's unreal

god this is so fucking sick, just unreal

ah yes, the martian and project hail mary, two stories that famously have nothing to do with social issues or moral dilemmas at all (sarcasm)

Out of curiosity, how long did it take for you to do the test?

Three panel comic. Panel 1: a giant squid wearing a yellow Bart t-shirt and some terrible hypebeast shorts is looking in the mirror. It says, “need groceries… but all my clothes are in the laundry.” Panel 2: the squid, now also wearing hot pink crocs, exits its apartment and says, “eh. I won’t see anyone.” Panel 3: two fisherman are pulling the squid to the surface of the water and pointing at it. An overlayed news caption reads: RARE SQUID SIGHTED - the fit was crazy

Pixar deliberating avoiding gay storylines is unequivocal homophobia, and any Pixar representative defending that decision is being homophobic.

We don't need 1000 word essays on it, just call it what it is.

We're far too afraid to call bigots bigots because we like their creative work.

There is no house on the street, only an ever-consuming void that took its form

I was masking a house out of a photo for an edit and accidentally made an ontologically evil image

You need therapy??? After seeing a cartoon kiss??? Millions of dollars of therapy???
Have you considered perhaps shutting the fuck up about everything forever?

This is Viggo Mortensen doing a social media takeover for Sarah Z. Did you know I broke my toe kicking the helmet when filming the Two Towers? Back to you, Sarah

This is a tricky one... i spent a few years going back and forth on various labels and pronoun combinations and stuff but nothing exactly fully fit until i picked out my chosen name. Then it all clicked - and a lot of my feelings, both past and present, suddenly made sense.

Fishtopher, a classic brown tabby cat with green eyes, laying on a large white comforter. His body is compact and curled up, but his head is slightly lifted up and looking at the camera. His ears point outward slightly, giving off a bit of an annoyed expression at being woken up.

a bit disgruntled

I wanted to like it so bad bc i like fantasy and it was the big fantasy thing at the time.

I bet this Mormon church compound I have to work at today wouldn't let me on site if they knew how much I supported Fred Johnson stealing the Nauvoo from the Space Mormons

Yepppp

Crazy how when this meme was created (2021) it felt really relatable and relevant, but it's become much more so in the time since

Is that a kind of defense mechanism for them?

Fishtopher, a classic brown tabby cat with green eyes, sits in a sunbeam. He is brightly illuminated and looks out into the distance. His pupils are small from the light, and he looks relaxed but alert. He places his front feet together politely, with his tail curled towards his body. Matilda, a white and brown tabby cat, sits on a basket in the background, but is slightly blurry.

sunning + stunning

They let people pet sturgeon?

Dredge should fit the criteria I think? Though it is mostly vertebrate centered (it is a fishing game after all) there's a bunch of fucked up marine invertebrates you can encounter which are all very cool and well designed.
