Oddity

That initial accidental google I did of a mutual returned an AI summary that was absolutely correct, and featured information about them that would not have been obvious from a quick perusal of their blog. The first few times I googled myself the AI overview was 100% correct. The version of that post that is circulating is not the one where I shared that the AI gave me someone's real name. I had hoped that it had screwed up and it wasn't their real name after all, but no, I checked with them, and just by googling someone's Tumblr URL, I got their honest to goodness legal name. Do you have any idea how dangerous that is? Like yeah I get that it's fun to go, "Haha, AI bad at collecting information," but that's not the problem. The problem is that sometimes AI good at collecting information, and it can collect a lot more a lot faster than a normal human can, by running multiple searches simultaneously and cross-referencing a lot of different documents all in a few seconds, for a level of snooping that would take a real person hours or even days, if they could do it at all.

Hello! You are one of the most amazing creators I’ve ever come across. I’ve been following your work for a long time, and I remember you mentioning that you use improvisation in your comics.

How do you manage to weave such intricate details into a coherent, large-scale plot like Spellbound AU while still improvising?

I’m currently working on my own comic. I have the entire plot figured out and a mountain of notes, but no actual script. The thing is, if I write a complete, step-by-step script, I know I'll lose all interest in drawing the comic. I truly enjoy being a "gardener" and discovering the story as I go. But right now, I feel stuck because my notes feel too jumbled to actually start drawing.

Do you have any tips or hacks on how to improvise effectively, write logical transitions between chapters, and smoothly add hidden details? How do you bridge that gap without losing the excitement of being a gardener?

Thank you so much for your inspiring work!

My strategy is to have a mental map of all important plot-related details but improvise the way I show them.

So I don't plan specific events, I plan the impact the characters supposed to feel from them. I am hoping that phrasing makes sense.

That way I can keep my hints/details somewhat coherent but I also get to improvise a lot.

Like, for example, I didn't plan to draw the drinking party from the start. I just planned that I needed to show that demons can be affected my stuff that gets inside of them. And then I improvised all the ways that information was shown.

So basically the plan was -> Blurr (and readers) learn that demons can be affected from the inside.

And then the improvisation was -> Blurr making Shockwave drink healing potions, Shockwave getting drunk, the famous liquid death being a a potion as well.

This way of writing works best for me so far. Because yeah, I also lose motivation if I try to do a whole script in advance.

Ah yes carrying a dead head in your pocket. Totally reasonable behaviour

BaHAHA oh I am exhausted…in a good sense.

This time it’s the real REAL Blurr👌

Ah yes I can do that:D You didn't specify what kind of account you wanna start so imma just go with most generalized tips

First. Your attitude matters just as much as your skill or the quality of your posts. I prefer to think about it like I am hosting a party. People wouldn't want to join a party if the host keeps saying that their food is shitty and other parties are better and picking fights with people.

People pick up vibes very well. And send similar vibes back too. If you want to have kind and supportive party you need to be a kind and supportive host:

............

Second. Blocking is everything. Someone sends a rude comment - just block. Someone asks inappropriate things - block. Picking fights on the internet results in nothing but exhaustion. And you don't want to be exhausted by arguing with someone who preemptively hates you. You just want them gone👍

............

Third. People come in groups. Groups defied by interests. It is up to you to control what kind of group you will attract.

Example! There are fans of cooking. There are fans of animation. There are also fans of hating.

So if you post about animation then you will attract animation fans. And when they decide to stay they will want more animation from you. Logical yes?

Now please pay attention. If you post hateful content. It will attract people who love to hate. As a form of recreation.

And if you post critical content then you'll attract the people who love to criticize.

And when those people decide to stay - they will start hating and criticizing everything including you.

Which is fine is you also love to hate and criticize stuff. You can watch a hundred of "why [x] is actually trash" videos with your followers and then discuss them all day lol. Who am I to stop you. I just hope I explained the mechanic.

...............

Fourth. If you see someone bringing news - never trust them blindly without checking the source. Sometimes people are trolls, sometimes they're stupid, sometimes they're a victim of misinformation and sometimes they're kids who didn't learn to analyze text properly. If you take their info and talk about it then you will subject all your followers to the same stupid lie.

...............

Fifth. I don't recommend having a big popular account if you're younger than 17-18. I know it sounds stupid and improbable yeah haha. It's just. I had my first big blog and big comic project when I was 15 and I can tell it messed me up bad. Young teens are NOT mentally equipped to manage thousands of strangers online, young teens are NOT mentally prepared to face all the creeps and scams and conflicts that can happen. Young teens cannot tell if someone is their genuine friend or is it a fucking pedophile hiding behind pfp with Papirus fanart. If you're younger than 17 I highly suggest you find a nice group of people (like a discord server maybe) and share your art with them. Or find some other place that allows you to show your stuff without being a direct admin over other people. Believe me your mental health will be much better. I know that from experience, I was that popular teen.

...............

Sixth. I know all the stuff I listed looks a bit intimidating for someone who only starts posting but trust me. Most people are kind. Most people are kind and supportive and willing to hang out. If you bring them joy then they will bring you joy right back. If you help them and listen to them - they will help and listen to you. If you make your account a good party place, if you make it welcoming - it will invite the nicest strangers you will ever meet.

Hmmmmmm yeah sure

I really love french songs, have a whole collection of them:) Although. I have no idea which ones are popular so this list might be just full of stuff everybody already knows.

French playlist i made for my non french friends year ago

I was reminded about the @keferon Earthspark JazzProwl au by my friend :)

Prowl is such a goofy little guy and it’s nice to see Jazz as the more serious one. I like it. I also think it's very nice to see BOTH Jazz and Prowl be silly little guys
