After the events of The Last Jedi, Rey and Kylo Ren seek to gain a powerful advantage over the other for their respective causes. In the same place. At the same time. Setting a sequence of events in motion neither of them expected. And causing a rupture in the Force that flings them into a very different galaxy far far away. What if in that place Rey fortuitously got everything she ever wanted? What if Kylo had no First Order to rule? What would happen if neither of them had any memory of the lives they lived before? Except maybe sometimes. When things get interesting. Which makes a tentative (and unwelcome) mutual attraction in their first year of art college in Ireland rather complicated and frustrating. When Rey and Kylo figure out something’s seriously amiss in their current lives, they must work out what that is. And what they really mean to each other and where it is they are supposed to be. Because the galaxy they have left behind is facing a threat only they can conquer. If they ever stop being so absorbed in each other to even think about figuring out how to get back there, that is. A canon/canon divergent/Art college AU/Skywalker Saga Fix-it complete with our favourite clueless space virgins. And dogs.

My Kylo edit but with Rey this time!

1: the automatic "Opt In" feature has nothing to do with "DreamUp". basically, AI generators have been using DeviantArt as a mine for its images without dA's permission. They have put an "opt in" option on all pictures on their site for these external AI sites. The setting is automatically set to "opt in" because that is literally the default as its always been. Automatic Opt-out is coming, they just need to tinker with it a little.

2: DreamUp is deviantArts Ai art generating program that only sources from deviantArt images that have the "opt in" feature turned on. However, the opt in feature is not directly tied to DreamUp in any way. DreamUp is just a new AI program that actually credits artists as its sources. It's a model dA has implemented to try and set a precedent as to how other AI art programs should work.

3: the people running the dA twitter are shit at communication and there are several mods crying in the discord because they TOLD THEM NOT TO WORD IT THIS WAY. and they ignored them and now there's a shit show.

You have ALWAYS been "opt in" to AI art generators... Without you or dA's permission.

dA is now giving you an option to turn it OFF.

But to put it as automatic off will take time to implement.

"a lie can run around the world before the truth can get its boots on"

The people on the discord were all very ??????? for a while there too.

Also I feel so bad for the mod who had very very VERY specifically told the PR team NOT to announce this this way because it would cause a shitstorm and who was going full Homestuck in the channel.
