We had just sat down for our meal of large bread in basket and apples when mother and father brought out the books.
They did not read from the books every time we ate, but enough to make every meal a source of tension. Growing hunger became a source of dread, of physical illness, as my body learned that the approach of the family meal could mean the reading of the book.
They said it was to praise and thank something greater than ourselves, but I always wondered why it was that our praise was never earned, but always demanded.
Our mother and father were true followers, I needed only to see their untarnished bodies to know their holiness, if it could be called that.
We sang the hymns and, as I had learned I must do, I forced myself to feel joy, to turn myself into something like a machine. I was sitting to my father's left, he did not know the tricks I leveraged and thought I was true and kept me close to him.
My brother had always struggled with the hymns, I had worried for him as time after time it seemed he slipped further. This time I heard a quaver in his voice, and broke my own note to glance at him. His hands were melting into themselves, a blending of flesh like wax that he struggled to ignore, even as the pain took his focus. I felt another finger grow from my own hand, and knew that offering him help would be my own undoing.
I closed my eyes and put my hand on my fathers thigh, and sang all the louder. By the end of our song I no longer had a brother, but the flesh that could still flinch was taken outside and buried.
Do conservatives actually have a weird obsession with AI art, or is it just that it gets shared a lot here?
I could understand these people using it all the time, because it is art without the art, without the deeper meaning, it is just "pretty pictures" and conservatives hate the idea of anything having deeper meaning, everything must be a surface level analysis to them.
Fashies despise and refuse to understand art and culture, and therefore they're easily suckered by fifth-rate imitations of it.
I think conservatives tend to have less artists. Its not like the current order treats most artists with much respect. This results in less art, but also less respect for paying artists (who are often seen as bohemian hippy types, however true that is). So AI art is a happy outcome for conservatives.
I think it's less about making art in any sense than it is a way of visualizing ideology. The aesthetic issues and overall goofiness aren't an issue to them because they want to express the brainworms. Same reason that John McNaugton paints Trump in that weird, realist style you also see with religious stuff, like this (CW: Drug Use):
That’s fucked up. I paid for that heroin and Jesus wants to be a free loader
I guess they can't have deeper meaning behind their work because to express deeper meaning one needs to actually have something deeper behind it. There is a skull on the table because...drugs bad? All the imagery just reinforces the central idea, that taking drugs is bad because if you're shooting, jesus is the one really getting high.
edit: My rambling actual point is that they can't really express things in the abstract, everything has to be literal. AI is incapable of abstracting deliberately, as it just follows a prompt, so it is likely that they like it for this reason, there is no deeper meaning behind conservative art, and there is no deeper meaning behind AI art.
We already had a show like this
Love to gather my mutant children around the table so my wife can shriek curses from the BOBY MEGOLY
This is what happens when they get Rockwell to illustrate Lovecraftian fiction.
I know it's passé to make fun of AI hands but this is fucking ridiculous
No girl those hands are horrifying, and there's an extra arm
Eeyyyy, every night we have a panettone with a glass of chinotto and read Boby Pascoly
is it important that the family be polydactyls?
A lot of insular religious communities in the US, like the Amish, have much higher rates of polydactyly than the the general population. The AI was clearly making a reference to that.
Ah yes I too fondly recall eating that famously upper middle class dinner, bread and apple
Why is the kid on the top right touching his dad's dick?
He's a Cumtown fan
Woke AI is turning the drawings gay
Extra finger
While screaming in ecstasy mind you.
Dear Jesus thank you for this delicious meal of bread and apples.
and the glasses filled with air
and I think that one kid on the left is about to eat a harmonica
Conservatives are just lame

Isn't that just Moral Orel?
Let us read from the Booy Pasooly
Permanently Deleted
Surely the free market will provide
(but also Blue Bloods exists and is peak conservative TV, so whatever)
Those cheeks are looking ROSY
Are they sick?
Trying to eat dinner with the highest fever of my life. Slipping in and out of delirium while my family only feeds me bread and apples.
The entire concept falls flat on its face the second you want to write an intra-family conflict that lasts more than the run time of an episode. It's a concept we've discussed in my writing group. If you're going to be episodic, your characters need to be kind of 2 dimensional. Since I don't read enough, I think of Family Guy where Lois gets a job at the news and when asked about how she lost the job at the end, she replies "does anyone really care?"
Well, since you're a hog and your brain doesn't really do lateral thinking, non-negotiably you want the themes of the show to reflect some kind of rejection of modern culture. "I mean it, this shit around me is not Christcore." You might get through 2 seasons, an introduction to the family and a drawn out conflict with a trans school principal or something. Well, eventually your audience is going to ask how the family deals with a child losing faith or martial issues. The shit will turn into pure ideology. The resolution will be unhelpful because when the wife decides to trust the husband because of a vision from God and the real life woman cannot square the circle of someone fucked up on their vice of choice because they're both evermore atomized. The show will show its thin veneer of aesthetic.
It would only be dogma that Christians I know don't even do. Shows in that position, at best, turn into camp and dumb down their characters. Like one of the kids becomes an atheist for 5 episodes, gets really into anime, and the mangaka of his favorite series is Christian so he converts back. Otherwise they get weird and probably double down on transphobia or something.
How about NAH. You know what we really need instead? A new season of DINOSAURS.

The children used to rub their 6 fingered hands up and down my leg until my BOBV turned PASCOLY.fine, but only if it airs in a time slot right before a show where a white christian family is executed one by one before a live studio audience.
We return to your regularly scheduled program Tsar NichoWAS
Pinky ring lol
Thought the candle was light from the window and was gonna be like damn, mans got a nutty thigh gap...
Always Sunny in Philadelphia is just that actually.
Middle left. They have candles placed inside of a potted plant.
Judas Priest the kids’ fingers are all fucked up.
Those kids are inbred as fuck. It makes sense. The girl on the left side is married already it seems. Probably to the father.
She's got half a ring.
That's what happens when you marry your sister.
Most of the glasses are empty except for one on the left which seems to contain cola and a really small pitcher on the right that seems like it's close to the bottom but contained piss.
Has anyone seen 321 penguins here?
There's also a pack of cards in a leather sleeve on the bottom right.
The best Christian show made recently is Angel Hare (CW for themes of child abuse)

Check out the clipping clock on the far right
I read aloud every night from the Soby Eoscoly
A turkey sized loaf of bread and a soup with whole apples, tomatoes and onions floating on top both served in a wicker basket???
They all look unwell. Cheeks more flushed than rosy. Like they’re all drunk as shit. Or afflicted with scarlet fever. Or perhaps malnourished from their bread and apples diet. Sounds like a great show.
What kind of situations would this type of family even encounter? They saw some black people doing a sit-in at a malt shop? And then the dad sits the kids down to explain why segregation is good?
RETVRN TO BOBV PASCOLY
: "Lol, those Aztecs were dumb for practicing human sacrifice to please the sun god."Also
: "The reason the cost of living soared sky high is because God angry at us for not sacrificing enough undesirables."
