just saw a (now blocked) ai art blog claiming that they spend hours working with the ai models to train a unique art style and that they “NEVER feed the model art that isn’t mine”
YES YOU DO YES YOU FUCKING DO YOU ARE ALWAYS ROBBING REAL ARTISTS WHEN YOU FEED THE DIGITAL PIRACY MACHINE
it would be one thing to meticulously craft a massive library of base parts and then use software to assemble the body, but if you didn’t hand draw those pieces then you’re not an artist you’re a grave robber playing with stolen body parts fuck you!!!!!!!!!
Kinda feel like there's some untapped meme/reaction image potential from old horror movie trailers...
Since this is gaining traction again, here are the final ones. These had been on separate posts but I suppose they'll be more likely to be noticed here.
I doubt I'll post any more after this but I highly encourage others to go find more. YouTube has tons of old movie trailers and there is PLENTY of gold left to find.
if i met a genie and fixed the world and all its ills with my first two wishes, my third wish would be that sabrina carpenter would get gradually taller. she'd be in on it and think it was hilarious. we'd have a strong cap at 7 feet here, maybe an inch a week so people have time to theorize--let's not be ridiculous. but she'd still keep up the "ooh! im so little and small!" schtick. but shed be gradually getting taller. she'd be like 6'1" and still jumping for the microphone. and she'd never say anything about it. and if anyone asked shed act like she had no idea what they were talking about. and shed cheekily play into it a little bit but mostly still keep up the "ooh im so little and small" schtick. do you see my vision. do you get it
ok and so if i met a genie and fixed the world and all its ills in one wish i would do the sabrina carpenter thing second and third i would wish for all evidence of one random taylor swift song to disappear from the world once every month or so. taylor would have no memory of it. her fans would remember it and there would be an outcry over where it went (it's not even in concert videos anymore!) but taylor would have no memory of it
instead, all her brainspace spent on that song would be replaced with the vivid memories of roman gladiator, taylaurius velox. she's able to hide this at first, but her music begins to take on a gradually romaner and romaner tint. at first, people are like "damn, she's getting REALLY conservative, huh" and other people are like "wow, she's so deep, she knows what a rubicon is" but eventually travis kelce leaves her out of nowhere (he wasn't sure if dating someone possessed by a roman gladiator made him gay or not and anyway he was getting sick of being like "we're going to play the lions" and taylor being like "LIONS? WHERE?") and taylor publishes an entire brutus themed album about this betrayal and it's beginning to weird people out
and so eventually travis kelce is getting like, bomb threats sent to his family for leaving taylor and eventually he's like "okay, okay, i left her because she kept having all these vivid nightmares of gladatorial combat and she kept saying that football was giving her the ick because we never actually killed anybody for the glory of rome" and then he just gets more bomb threats because he left a struggling woman during a mental health crisis
and eventually taylor is writing music about her forbidden roman senator lover and her fanbase is either whittled WAY down or WAY up because people want to watch this trainwreck happen (or maybe she influences culture so hard that we're just all really into rome now) but she's being super cagey about the name of this roman senator. until. and now here's the twist:
weird al has been getting all of the same vivid memories of taylaurius velox. and he still has all his memories of her old songs. so he's writing all these detailed song parodies of taylor swift songs that don't exist anymore including specific details about their shared gladiatorial reality that taylor has never shared with anybody else. including that her lover's name was publius, and she's been calling him Poob for short
at this point a lot of original swifties are leaving. they could do the brutus stuff, but they really can't survive poob. taylor makes a clapping back at the haters song including the lyric "these bitches don't know publius" and it ends up all over all sorts of merch. there's a renewed archaeological interest in roman gladatorial combat
most importantly, the internet discourse is the best it's ever been. does this make taylor swift transmasc? is travis kelce problematic for leaving his fiancee while she gradually morphs into a roman gladiator? is this good queer representation? if taylaurius velox was a gay man, does that mean the gaylors were technically correct? is weird al morally wrong for capitalizing off of her music if she cant remember it anymore? was weird al sent by god to torment taylor swift?
anyway thats what id do if i met a genie
I look at ppl who are "anti medication" the same way i look at anti vaxxers tbh.
Like I'm sorry to sound "we can't all be neurotypical, karen" but. some people actually genuinely need medication. like cannot function or even be alive without it. I get that the psychiatry field has a lot of abuse but saying that no one should use it is insane.
Hope this isn't derailing but I've genuinely had people tell me (e.g. my mom's friend) to stop taking my rheumatoism medication because "big pharma" and "they are poisoning us" and should instead take globuli and pray 💀
You know. The medication. That medication my joints and tendons would ERODE AWAY without.
Anti-medication people are so fucking stupid it's insane.
Anti medication people scared me away from trying antipsychotics as an adult (rather than being forcibly sedated as a kid) for like a decade, until I got a psych willing to start me on a microdose and go up from there.
And it turns out, I spent that decade in a constant state of crisis for no fucking reason other than fearmongering about how I would lose my entire sense of self, stop being able to make art or even read books, would be functionally lobotomized and unable to even understand how broken I'd become, etc etc.
Medication can be misused, especially in high control settings like psychiatric institutions. But if you're living under your own care, medication may be what lets you go from struggling to survive, to actually living a life.
It's worth trying.
This is, IMO, true of all medication, doubly true of psych meds, and triply true of pain meds, which people are notoriously afraid to take.
A (now ex) boyfriend convinced me to stop my antidepressants. I wound up in the psych ward for a week.
Medication is really important.
I had people try to advise me that i should decline chemotherapy treatment for my breast cancer because “the chemo is just as bad for you as the cancer is”.
Friends, it was not good advice, and i did not listen to them. And yes, going through chemo sucked and all the side effects sucked too, but do you know what didn’t suck?
Beating cancer.

In other times in another universe (shunshued one) my silly fangirl's heart would be happy about this type of scenario for the Post-Series «Buffy the Vampire Slayer» (+ Angel ts)
Call it "a fanfiction by fanartist"
(Spuffy OC daughter Sky included)
Disclaimer!
It is just my fanon picture (one of them TBH) so please just enjoy these pics and let yourself have your own scenario, thank you!
Sky and her little sis Lily
And the family piece to complete the picture
My additional topics for this my AU:
• Sky drives a motorcycle and makes her mum nervous
• Angel (that rich granpa) might bought a pony for one of spuffy daughters just to be that "Cool Uncle" (but still Auntie Cordy is the coolest one)
• Dawn and Spike play cards in the teacher's room
• Spike couldn't find another good "onion flower" and tried to make it by himself at home
• Willow and Giles organizes tea party for student in her greenhouse
• Sky and Spike definitely would arguing about new season of their favorite show and Buffy would be like "If you gonna fight just do it outside, please!"
• Sometimes Sky steals borrows her mum's clothes
• As you can see Buffy the one who wears that leather coat. Give me the story what happened!

Something that I get chills about is the fact that the oldest story told made by the oldest civilization opens with "In those days, in those distant days, in those ancient nights."
This confirms that there is a civilization older than the Sumerians that we have yet to find
Some people get existential dread from this
Me? I think it's fucking awesome it shows just how much of this world we have yet to discover and that is just fascinating
@makaeru peer review cos this made me check when the Sumerians happened and I forget how recent history is for every other continent. 7000 - 8000 years ago just isn't that long when you're in Australia, and the amount of detailed history we have access to here is wonderful and should be recognised more internationally
Source (non Aboriginal)
And a quote I picked out from a longer interview with an Aboriginal local elder about the area where he touched on the history
Source (the rest of the interview is really interesting and all transcribed, have a look if you're curious)
This is part of my Ancient Civilizations class that I teach, which does a whole week about Australia and the Torres Strait Islands because I was sick of never seeing them represented in USAmerican history contexts. With the help of @micewithknives and @acearchaeologist I've learned so many incredible things about Australia's past and it's been incredibly rewarding to share them with students.
My favorite fact about Aboriginal oral history is the fact that we pretty recently discovered that the Aboriginal myth of the 7 Sisters, an origin story for the Pleiades star cluster, accurately reflects a point TEN THOUSAND YEARS AGO when two stars in the constellation got close enough together to no longer be distinguishable by the naked eye.
The story? 6 sisters running from something that took their 7th sister.
as a gilgar gunditj woman, i was not expecting to see my culture on my dash.
thank you for spreading our words and treating our culture with respect.
Boosting signal.
Echoes from the ancient human past, wonderful.
Type of Queer: MLM
Have you seen The Hour (2011-2012)?
Yes
Partially
No, But I've Heard of It
Never Heard of It
Additional Info: "While most of the explicit queerness in BBC The Hour sticks to plot-relevant supporting characters, one of which is really odious, the subtlety of these characters and their roles within their social millieu implicates more characters in a kind of 'secret', or quiet queeress. The main characters are involved in a love triangle that is so complex and beautiful and it is extremely easy to read queer elements into it; like how Hector's womanizing only just distracts from how upset his wife's homophobic remarks make him and Freddie is one of the great headcanon trans lesbians of 2011 TV. Lix Storm played by Anna Chancellor is there. full stop"

WIP Game
Tagged by @eriquin (Thank you, Legend <3)
Rules: The person who tags you gives you a word, and you have to share WIP sentences beginning with the letters.
The word I got is TRUTH, and these are all from my Original Work called 'The Albion Club'.
The day was cold and grey, the dark clouds overhead threatening rain. Still, the students and Professors moved around the grounds of Kings College, Cambridge, carrying on as they typically did.
One student that fit into neither of these groups was Gwynnever Isolde Eloise Abernathy - although she infinitely preferred to be called ‘Wyn’, and had done so since she was a child, determining (much to her father’s chagrin) that her full name was impractical and slightly ridiculous.
“The young lady has a letter here, it says she’s been called up for Kings.” Wyn tried not to let her irritation at Collins’ statement, nor the way he and Isley seemed to be content to carry on a conversation about her as if she weren’t standing just two feet away from them, but she was working to be polite. If she was honest with herself, she had expected that she would encounter some resistance - she was all too aware of the slow pace at which the world of academia accepted change.
Thanks again, Eriquin! Tagging: Anyone who wants to play, tbh. @strangerthingswritersguild <3 Word: SIGH
