first, light the match

Some Anti-AI banners i made, anyone is free to use them, no credit necessary. Light mode and Dark mode versions.

Art and writing and people’s rights need to be protected, and AI has been used already to steal, plagiarize, and be used to threaten people using deepfakes.

As an artist and a writer, it’s an insult to my craft to see AI “works” along side mine.

The teeny mutant ninja turtles being thrown into other tmnt shows so they can experience the world-ending bullshit every mutant turtle is required to face while still being iPad kids:

 ˙⋆✮ Still flinching at raised voices even when there's no threat behind them

˙⋆✮ Hoarding food or supplies in small ways without realizing why

˙⋆✮ The inability to accept praise without immediately deflecting or diminishing it

˙⋆✮ Becoming a different person entirely around family versus everyone else

˙⋆✮ Apologizing for things that were never their fault to begin with

˙⋆✮ Treating every disagreement like it might be the end of everything

˙⋆✮ The specific way they learned to make themselves smaller in a room

˙⋆✮ Being deeply uncomfortable when someone is genuinely kind with no catch

˙⋆✮ Watching other families interact and feeling something unnamed and heavy

˙⋆✮ Hyper-independence that looks like strength but is really just old fear

˙⋆✮ Needing to know the plan because uncertainty was never safe growing up

˙⋆✮ The way they parent themselves now using words no one ever said to them then

˙⋆✮ Finding comfort in routines because chaos was what home felt like

˙⋆✮ Trusting actions completely and words almost not at all

˙⋆✮ The anger that surfaces when someone else is treated the way they once were

˙⋆✮ Learning to read a room before entering it as a survival skill turned habit

˙⋆✮ The relationship they have with food, money, or safety that reveals everything

˙⋆✮ Becoming fiercely protective of others in the exact way no one was for them

˙⋆✮ The dream they still have sometimes that takes place in that old house

“I’m still trapped

in the disgusting feeling

and I keep remembering

that I’m still broken

from a sacrifice I didn’t ask”
