this looks like something my grandma would film.

Man, don't make me have to choose between The Princess Bride and Labyrinth!

I can control time but only once a month 🤔 honestly that's okay. Fun time travel adventure each month

"You can shape shift" "But using it leaves bold marks all over your body" Actually I like the aesthetics of the side-effect more than the power. Shape shifting was "Meh, this isn't going to be worth it." But like, I turn into an alligator and when I turn back I have anomalous alligator tattoo-like marks all over me? That is kind of cool and unique.

Reblog if you don't use Generative AI to write fanfics/original fics or to create fanart/original art.

I have too many ideas and not enough time to write them. I don't need AI telling me how to write it. I need AI bringing us down to a 4 day work week at the same salary.

Since when has technology meant less work? There are 4 day work weeks out there without Ai. We had asperations beyond cooking around fires and living under tents and now that we have more and more technology we work harder and harder and now a lot of us cant wait to go relax in a tent by the fire. We should have listened to the fisherman's story about just sticking to fishing instead if building an empire so we can fish.

@diesellesbian I didn't mean that as a literal thing that I want AI to do, or that AI could do, I meant that as something that would aid individual creative endeavor rather than replace it.

There are books and youtube lessons and classes and shop keepers to guide you in improving your creative endeavors. To improve you can get sketchbooks, notebooks, scrap materials, dependent on your skill, a word processor if youre writing. I still like pen to paper for a distraction free brainstorm. Do the thing. Get reps. Get sleep. Just do it. Creativity is a talent, yes, but it's a muscle. Go to the gym. Dont get plastic surgery. Plastic surgery muscles look silly. Dont be that person.

I've got 1 crowd-funded ongoing webcomic, a 2nd webcomic that I put on hiatus due to lack of time, 2 fleshed out novels that at least have written introductory chapters, 3 ball-jointed dolls with incomplete (hand sewn) outfits, and a half-finished puzzle box. What I don't have is time. I'm not even one of those people who is like "My 9-to-5 drains me of creative energy and I can't produce anything!" Just between my job and my home life I can just barely keep that 1 webcomic going, the one I can justify spending time on because it is monetized. (And I am more on the giving art lessons side of the market than receiving them) But comic subscriptions, art commissions and art lessons all seem to be in decline since the advent of generative AI. And yeah I find doodling in margins or pulling out my analog pencil sketch book is occasionally relaxing as well.
