That's my deepest, darkest desire. Something so twisted and perverted, I won't ever muster up the courage to say it irl.

you're right to have these feelings. humans together strong.

We need to normalize platonic vulnerability sessions. Just having a nice cuddle with friends, feeling open and okay.

Or at least until we feel too hot and sweaty

Bold of you to assume I'll ever feel okay again.

I don't care. Looking at it makes me feel good. I'm not talented enough to make art like that, and I don't have money to commission others to make art like that.

[–] EldritchFeminity@lemmy.blahaj.zone 13 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Plenty of images of anime girls online to make memes out of without supporting corporate abuse.

Also, talent is simply applied skill. The only thing keeping you from drawing like that is time and effort.

And The desire to invest into becoming good at drawing stuff. It would be cool if I could, but it isn't something that see as something I absolutely need.

I totally get that, I tried to make art a job and stopped drawing for a decade because of it. But we fall back into the issue of supporting corporate abuse for convenience when there's plenty of other images of anime girls out there. AI art has the same issues as sweatshop labor but is much easier to avoid.

i actually didn't notice this was ai until right there, and i feel kinda bad about it now

Don't feel bad. The part that sucks is that we have to even check nowadays whether or not our memes were ethically sourced.

[–] GaMEChld@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Oh, Don't feel bad Peter.

[–] levzzz@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago

...and the username just made the meme, not the art.

Also

a) low resolution image

b) the collar looks wrong, megumin wears no bell, and what is that buckle? looks like garbage.

c) the holes on the chair are not parallel, the one on the right makes no sense

d) what is that green thing on the right? most weirdly shaped pillow ever?

My assessment is: AI indeed, but check the one on Instagram (it's a bit higher quality) and you decide.

The green thing could be part of a stylized plant, but the most damning thing to me is that left eye where the reflective part of the iris is in the border around her eye.

the fuck? it's a nice picture, just let it be. it's IMHO a better image than many hand-drawn ones.

I don't have that much time.

[–] pixeltree@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 month ago

Yeah I really wish. It's just not going to happen though. I don't go anywhere or do anything. I just sit around and shovel stimulation into the black hole inside myself at an unsustainable rate to try to distract myself from the fact that that's all things will ever be for me, that's all things ever can be for me. I'm so tired and I desperately just want to give up. Even when things are ok and my mood isn't in the dumpster it hangs over me. I don't want to do this anymore. I'm sick of being a barely functioning human being. I'm just so tired and I want to turn it all off. There's things that I would like to do or have or be, but they just aren't going to happen. I'll never have someone that cares for me. I'll never be able to actually stick with a hobby I enjoy. I'd love to actually be a person I enjoy being, but THAT'S certainly never going to happen.

I can't kill myself, because too many people still care about me. I wish people would forget about me so I could just leave. There'll probably come a point when I'm too tired to care. Hard to tell when it'll be.

I'm on board with this proposal.
