The news about AI scraping also reaching this nook of the internet (tho' I don't doubt there's been scraping already before this) has been going around and I'd like to write a little word about my feelings on it.

For awhile this direction of art theft in the art and writers communities has been weighing a lot of people down. I've seen many familiar faces stop posting at all, probably out of fear of their beloved work being thieved away.

I don't really talk about it, but many times it has deterred me from posting or even working on some pieces purely from a sense of melancholy and sadness. Every time news about the topic comes out it creates a new kind of wave of despair. I get the feeling, what's the point, if the AI created sludge is enough for the public, if such surface level imagery fulfills peoples wants for art, then what's the point of me sharing my work at all? To just keep posting to feed a machine.

But then I sit at my desk and draw something. Paint something by myself. And I remember, why I do art at all. The feeling of creating is irreplaceable, the joy I get out of the struggle of creation can't be taken away from me. The way one pours their thoughts, feelings and even the tiniest things that might feel so insignificant to oneself so candidly onto paper. And then. AND THEN. One might be brave enough to share those pieces to others. Post them online, show a friend, a family member. To show your vulnerable self to others, and those others respond. They comment, ask questions, perceive it and best of all... ..might get inspired, and create something for themselves!

I remember reading a magazine once, that had a page at the back with all these art works readers had sent in, and I though 'wow, these are great'! And that really inspired me to create more than I already was doing, and most of all to share it with people. That's why way back when I started sharing my art in online spaces. And I don't want to stop, because I don't want us to lose that connection. That human connection, because that's what sharing art is really about, our humanity. Sharing thoughts and feelings, not about generating the most technically perfect piece of art, void of all human error.

So, I'd like to say, do not despair (but keep fighting). There are always people out there to receive your heart.

Thank you for reading and sorry for the ramble, but I really do hope these words find you all well.

#my ramblings #not kh #not kingdom hearts #text post #I feel a little silly posting this manifest on a fanart blog #but I do think one pours their soul into it as well #I know I do #ooc #or finally IN character?#not as the moogle

The racism my beloved Simon had to face….my baby. 🥺💔

Although painful to watch, it felt incredibly validating. It was so annoying watching some people say this show was “only about class” while dismissing the BS that Simon had to go through. The abuse was ten fold because he’s POC and S3 finally exposed that.

That being said, and on a more positive note, it was so incredibly sexy when Simon sang happy birthday to Wille in Spanish (he feels safe with him!) and when Wille admitted to fantasizing about stroking those beautiful curlssss (and then actually did it). 🥹❤️‍🩹

Wilmon forever. 🤎🤍

#simon the bravest of braves and the sweetest of sweets i love him sooooooo much #and apparently inspo was from irl hate comments omar has received? 🔪#oh HELL no. 🐓🤎#omar brought face heart soul and curls to this season and to this damn show and i love him and simon so much #like it wouldn’t have been that bad if he was fully white and didn’t look the way he did and i stand by that #those online hate comments were disgusting #imported? latin lover? (they were a breath away from flat out calling him a wh*re and i was ready to throw some fucking hands)#even more hurtful because simon was very obviously a virgin when he met wille and didn’t even sleep with that douchebag #who shall not be named on my blog #y’all can try to pry this interracial ship out of my cold dead hands (you won’t)#but we heal and that’s beautiful ❤️‍🩹#they mean soooo much to me 😭😭😭#and like i said before #no it wouldn’t have been good if simon wasn’t poc I SAID WHAT I SAID WHAT I SAID #young royals #wilmon #simon eriksson #simon my beloved 💜#i love them sooooooooooooooo much.#🤎🤍

y'all gotta stop making AI art of book ships... it makes me so mad because there are so many talented artists who show their love and support by working hard to make a great drawing for their favorite book. the thing that actually shows that you care is putting work into it not making a computer do it for you. if you wanna use AI to make art please clarify in the post that it's AI and DONT DO FANART THAT WAY BECAUSE ITS NOT APPRECIATING ANYONE OR ANYTHING BECAUSE YOURE MAKING A COMPUTER DO IT!!!!! there's no love or support in AI art.

stop slandering my favorite ships

karmas thoughts on a socially awkward reader 🗣️

First of all, Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a huge spectrum of people who have a wide range of symptoms and severity. This can involve social interactions and communication.

Note that I am not an expert on these things, so no offense on anybody who has this disorder.

Socially awkward MC:

Once again, Karma is VERY flexible on who he loves - especially you! And since you're so shy and timid, it gives him more time to cuddle you, kiss you, and just admire you! (and saves time from kidnapping you) He'll especially tease you for everything and baby you up, just to see you more flustered and embarrassed (that is, if you're comfortable). Overall, Karma will be a lot more protective and weak to your cuteness! Lots of fluff moments will be made here!

MC: K-Karma...

Karma: Mm? *holding a huge cup of hot chocolate*

MC: Can I get...one too...? *points to his cup*

Karma: You want chocolate? With marshmallows? Topped with sprinkles?? I'm on it, Xaxi! <333

Socially awkward + autistic MC:

First of all, Karma would first ensure what your boundaries are e.g. your love language, personal space, etc. Then he'll go from there to ensure you're super duper loved and comfortable! In this case, he won't tease you and baby you as much - since he doesn't want you to see him as patronizing. In fact, Karma wants to let you know he loves you and spoils you because you're his partner. You're his #1 Valentine. You're special because of who you are.

MC: *in bed with Karma, tugging at his shirt*

Karma: Oh hey Xaxi...you okay? You good? *is immediately awake (totally wasn't watching MC)*

MC: *just snuggles into him more, upset mumbles*

Karma: Mmm...well I'm here, Xaxi...always. Forever and a day. So relax...I'm not going anywhere. I love you too much to leave you alone.

It’s probably bc I’m the child of an academic and I’m going to be an academic, but I’m very interested in Jean as the child of an academic starting and then quitting college three separate times. Like it matters to her, she wants to go to college and learn, but being part of the X-Men will always come before everything else. I don’t think she regrets the X-Men, I don’t think she’s especially bitter about it, but I think she’s aware of that as a life she will never get to have.

I've come to terms with it.

You're never coming back.

And I've come to a conclusion because of it.

I will continue on with my life. I will meet a stranger, learn everything about them, maybe I'll even love them.

But I will be settling.

For the rest of my life, I will live with the knowledge that whoever I share the rest of my life with will be someone I will never be in love with.

We'll get married, buy a house together, maybe even have kids. And I will love that person, but I'll never be in love with them.

Because they aren't you.

All the while I know you'll fall in love with someone else. You'll let them into the deepest, darkest parts of your mind and soul. Places I once knew better than I knew myself. They will be loving and attentive, and you'll love them more deeply than you ever did me.

I will be but a ghost of your past, a memory.

But at least I know what it was like to be loved by you. All consuming, heart aching, soul shattering.

I wish you the happiness I know I'll never find in another human being again.

- dahlia

Yesss please sam drake food/eating hcs?? Fave meals, hated meals, etc

It is with great joy and great belatedness that I post my first Uncharted piece in ages. Thank you for the lovely ask, anon. :)

⋆ Sam Drake - Eating Headcanons ⋆

Two words: scarcity mindset.

After running away from Saint Frances’s, to claim money was tight is to be telling some humorous bit, Money was borderline non-existent. And as such, came what the Drake boys do best: theft.

Liquor stores were their easiest, and most consistent source. Sam still takes great pride in telling his many stories revolving around ‘cashier meet-cutes’ disguising their proudest heist to date: a 12-year-old Nathan smuggling canned goods under a moth-holed hoodie.

Because of this, gas station snacks: twinkies, Lays chips, slurpees, etc. all tend to give him this simultaneous sense of nostalgia and nausea. Like when you’re eating eggs and all of a sudden, your body gags on the next bite.

But on an especially shitty day, expect him to be gobbling a Big Gulp and a half-frozen hot dog on the nearest street corner, with a half-smoked cigarette still sunken between his lips. It’s the way he wallows.

Secretly wants you to tell him how bad that shit is for him so he has an excuse to snottily spat back “who the ‘ell cares?”. He finds pride in not caring about anything. (He cares about everything.)

Getting fast food at the drive-thru? Man waves you off a total of three times claiming he doesn’t want nothing before proceeding to eat half of your McNuggets without asking. He loves BBQ sauce and needs Tabasco on everything like it’s his will to live.

Big fan of spicy, sour, and tart, anything that makes your mouth pucker. Pretzels, salt and vinegar chips, cottage cheese, pickles, pineapple (😉). “What can I say? I admire a fruit that fights back!” — he snorts before taking a raw bite of a lemon, just to squirm you out.

Maybe a bit of the masochist in him.

When he and Nate were able to get proper gigs (12-year-old Nathan: illegally, of course), they were able to progress to the simplest of grocery outlet options. Eggs, instant ramen packets, canned vegetables that were 9 out of 10 times eaten raw out of the can with a fork, and more nothing-but-toast-for-dinner than they’d want to admit).

Sam and Nate spent most of their childhood eating their dad’s scrambled eggs and microwaved peas. When their mom passed, and dad released them to the state, Sam decided he’d only ever eat over-easy again.

Nate still chooses scrambled. He asks for cheese and green onions to split the difference, but always ends up only eating half of it before the memories come too strong and he has to push his plate away.

QUICK eater. MESSY eater. And I mean quick and messy.

Will use as minimal cutlery as possible, and if disposable, even better.

A scooper. Tends to be a chronic careless spiller with how frequently he tries to funnel all the last crumbs into his mouth, how quickly he chugs even a glass of water. (Most shirts of his are stained as a result.)

Tends to wait till the last possible moment to eat or drink anything. Breakfast basically doesn’t exist to him.

Spills more beverage down his chin and shirt than his mouth (but a wet t-shirt certainly isn’t the worst thing to happen. Especially not to Samuel Drake. ;)

Pizza order: Meat Lover’s with extra sausage. Maybe some green bell peppers when he finally compromises with Nate during movie night.

Never, ever orders (well, non-alcoholic) drinks when eating out. And only water when he finally lets himself cave. Otherwise, he’s stealing sips from the nearest patron’s Jarrito bottle (his favorite is Tamarind).

Doesn’t bother cleaning up his fruit peels or peanut shells, even around others. That shit’s going on the floor without a second look.

Surprisingly, a king and natural on the BBQ. Despite having so little in their childhood, Sam still tried to go hard on the holidays for Nathan’s sake. Fourth of July is still Nate’s favorite holiday exclusively because of Sam’s public park-smoked ribs and the long, bumpy motorcycle ride up the highest hill in whatever city they were currently loitering in, just to see the fireworks.

A dive bar master. Nate always orders whatever grease-covered appetizer they got in the back. Sam purposely keeps his stomach empty so there’s more room for whiskey. (Since nobody asked, incredible at pool, and will offer any woman in a twenty foot circumference a lesson. Cue the leaning chest over back, cue stick fantasy.)

A love language that was a total surprise to him is his partner cooking/baking something just for him, especially if it’s from scratch. Gets that rare, soft look in his eyes as he watches them carefully place each steaming plate onto the table. And trust, he’s not looking at the food when it happens.

Loves his partner in an apron. Like… loves his partner in an apron.

Make him food, and as soon as it’s eaten, he’s eating you after. ;)

When he finally settles down post-Madagascar, it’s a fucking struggle to get him to go grocery shopping at all for the first few months.

Self-punishment, maybe.

Nathan buys them himself instead and leaves them on the porch of Sam’s trailer park home when he’s too depressed to answer the door.

Basically has to be forced to eat actual meat and vegetables. For the first few months, he reverts and eats only familiar prison food. The same single pot of chili/beans for a whole week, half portions only for each meal. Uncooked canned carrots. Microwave popcorn when Nathan calls him asking if he’s eaten, and when Sam lies, it sounds more believable with the microwave droning in the background.

However, when he finally starts to pick himself back up, when he gets his first day job since prison, finally lets Nate buy him a used truck to get around, his first solo call from Sully, that’s when he finally starts to eat.

And when he finally feels like himself again, when he finally lets himself want to live again, the first hobby that Sam Drake takes up is cooking.

Why do Angel and Alastor hate each other? Probably partially due to Husk but there has to be more too it than that right?

I am SO glad someone asked this. Prepare yourself yall cause this will be LONG.

When it comes to Angel and Alastor, it's a one sided relationship. Angel doesn't hate Alastor. He finds him entertaining actually. All the hatred and pettiness is on Alastors side. Alastor DESPISES Angel. Absolutely hates the man. Why he hates him so much is a multitude of reasons.

☆Power and Posture★

Alastor has a ego but he knows he's not the most powerful of the overlords. Yes he's absolutely one of the stronger ones but he knows he's not unstoppable. Angel is what levels him. Angel is scarily strong when it comes to overlords. Having exterminator weapons along with raw power is a scary combination. Angel is a force not to be reckoned with. Alastor knows this and it bothers him. He knows that Angel, besides Charlie, is someone that can push back on Alastor's behavior. Alastor is a bully but Angel isn't afraid to fight back.

Angel's physical stature is also something that bothers Alastor. Alastor knows that physically, without his power, isn't something people are intimated by. He's super skinny and he's tall. You could snap his body like a twig. Angel isn't like Alastor. Angel is twice Alastor's size. Angel has a body builder like build. Angel is physically more intimidating and both know it. Angel doesn't hide his physical dominance from Alastor either. If Alastor is bothering someone too much for Angel's liking then Angel will lift Alastor like a sack of potatoes. If Alastor tries to get in Angel's face then Angel leans over Alastor, staring down at him. Angel is a physical force that can and will if necessary crush Alastor. It's humiliating. Alastor hates this.

☆People person★

Angel is a people person. He goes a little mad when he can't talk with someone. He's smooth, he's charismatic, he's good with everybody. Angel is everything Alastor wants to be with people. Alastor is good with people to a extent. He can come off as pushy and clingy if he likes you well enough. This plus Alastor as a whole usually freaks people out. Alastor scares people away, Angel draws them in. Like a spider to its web. All the people Alastor knows, Angel ruins it for him somehow. Mimzy, his secret crush has know Angel for longer. They're closer. Charlie. Alastor was the first to offer his help. But no, Charlie decided that the death overlord would be the better pick. Is Alastor not good enough? Valerie is someone be can teach and influence. No. Angel teaches her to fight. Angel teaches her to talk again. Disgusting. Nifty, his sweet, darling Nifty. The only child Alastor would ever call his own. Angel swoops in and suddenly Nifty wants a new dad. How could he?? Is Alastor being Nifty's mentor not good enough? What's so special about Angel? Husk. His only friend honestly. He's harsh on him, he understands that. He needs to be better, he knows this. But Husk sticks it out with him. Angel can't ruin this for him. Then Angel seduces Husk. How?? Husk is the most closed off person Alastor has ever known. How did Angel break open his shell??? Why does Angel understand Husk better than Alastor does?? Alastor doesn't know. He knows that he despises it though. Despised Angel. It's all Angel's fault.

☆How can we trust him★

Now Alastor won't say he's trustworthy. He's caniving, shifty, and untrustworthy. But he's upfront. He shows you all his cards before he even plays the game. Angel doesn't. Angel hides his cards under the table. How can we be sure he's trustworthy. No one ever sees him. Why is Mimzy so sure he's a good man. How is Charlie sure Angel wants to get to Heaven? How is Valerie sure Angel won't be too rough with her? How is Nifty sure Angel even likes her, let alone see her as a surrogate daughter. How is Husk sure that Angel isn't like other men, that Angel won't break his heart?

Why is everyone looking behind their shoulder at Alstor but looking forward at Angel?

Alastor doesn't know. But he knows he hates it. He hates this feeling. He hates how no one bat's a eye.

He hates Angel.

Sorry if this is poorly written. I tried to give the best explanation for Alastor's hatred. Alastor is a character I feel like I'm neglecting so I'm trying to give him more characterization and personality. I really want his envy and jealousy to shine through.

Hope you guys enjoyed this! I prefer questions about the rewrite over fact questions anyway. This was fun!!

Asks are always open, art is always here, drink water, eat crackers.
