I just saw a full episode of his show. The fuck? I’m not a painter but I’ve seen my mom paint all my life.

This motherfucker just did in 15 minutes what would take her weeks. Like???

And he did it while talking, in clean fucking strokes. So fucking fast. I saw a literal masterpiece being created in fifteen minutes from nothing. From nothing. It was a blank fucking canvas, man.

I knew of Bob Ross, but I’d never actually seen him paint. Goddamn. How did actual artists react to him? Like, how do you not feel just thoroughly outclassed.

All while this mofo is saying how easy all that he’s doing is while I know for a fact how hard it is. Like, is he just gaslighting everyone?

Wow interesting. I really had no idea about any of this

[–] Des@hexbear.net 6 points 3 months ago (2 children)

i wish i could go more in depth. i get a bit passionate because it really helps with my anxiety and I am one of the rare people that experienced the whole "tingles" thing since I was a child

i only watch femme presenting artists so i can't speak for the male presenting but i'm happy some of these super talented artists found a niche and a way to make a living

sorry hope i didn't seem too boomer-style upset

it's not at you

No not at all! I appreciate that I learned about a whole new genre

Frisson?

[–] Des@hexbear.net 2 points 2 months ago

Frisson is distinct from ASMR but believed to be closely related

Frisson is purely an auditory phenomenon while ASMR tends to be primarily visual

there's been only a few studies and some hypothesis about ASMR but the best one is that it is more tied to primate grooming behavior and mirror neurons

for example, when i was in elementary school watching girls brush each other's hair made me feel like fingers were going through my own. i felt everything i saw. i just thought it was normal didn't know it was ASMR

i also have a personal theory that it's more common in AFAB cis/enby as well as transfemmes. like estrogen enhances it. THC does as well, at least for me
