MONTHS IN THE MAKING BECAUSE i AM UNHINGED AND NEEDED THE PRECISE PICTURES THAT I KNEW I WOULD GET #like. seventy five percent of this has been done since the first time i posted this and while it has gotten better with time because #my narratives simply got more complex and there's so much of this that is For Me but don't worry i will explain but aLSO goddamn mitch coul #you have gotten married any later in the year. also willy you truly disappointed me by not getting an absurd haircut this year (now that #i've said this he's going to debut it on instagram like. tomorrow. but anyway that meant y'all got to enjoy my neuroses of #Loving Tyler Bertuzzi who is a goddamn leaf. the joys of having to wait to post this (was not a leaf at the time i started it) and anyway i #have at length i think had the breakdown about tyler in pigtails girl dad & how i got a bob & then tyler copied me which was rude. that's m #gender. ANYWAY starting from the top we got sheldon keefe documentation which was really just the personal decision that i wanted all the #coaching staff to be the markers in the poem/the bold & also at the TIME keefe hadn't re-signed &we thought it might be everybody out w/kyl #anyway the title of the scrap of an old lover's flannel is literally 'u think this is about sheldon & kyle NO it's about timothy liljegren' #bc. liljegren was on the marlies winning cup team & has had a contentious relationship w/keefe ever since & was healthy scratched in playof #& the narrative is sooooo. also at one point for the ryan o'reilly i was going to edit the stlb out of his grandma's shirt or cover it w/th #childhood dreams line but THEN i found the gio snapped stick one which was too perfect for 'crumbling copy' the ryan o'reilly To Me is so. #ur insane in ways u did not think for that one. like. how soft her hands were. his grandma you guys. he grew up a leafs fan. if he ever get #to lift the cup with her again i will lose my shit. the cup run a movie i remember nothing--OKAY the spezz one i knew i needed him stresse #but also i believe in the spezz/kyle narrative so. it comes up later don't worry ALSO SPEZZ FOLLOWING HIM TO PITT CAME AFTER I MADE THIS bu #the muzz tea one makes me a little sensy bc muzz was out with an injury for most of this season & it was a really scary spinal one & so yea #& then the simmer one just straight up makes me cry bc i love him so much & the work that he does for anti-racism in hockey means so much & #if you have that video open & watch it i promise you will cry i do every time it's so beautiful he had to be on comforted by beauty & sammy #boy is on the a man who doesn't know me because EYE remember the caps goalie tandems. baby lilya. the mo one is a little funny bc it is #solely due to wade's thread about mo rielly the coal miner homestead husband. that's why he moves to omaha also i think it suits him (quiet #OK NOW OLD MEN IN LOVE NARRATIVE this one's in contention for my fave bc it's spezz coping w/retirement fundamental meaningless of existenc #u heard abt tyler already that's for me the minchy picture was just too good i had found it earlier & i spent SO LONG looking for an empty #leafs rink picture for bathtub i have some cool construction photos but i wanted the melting ice ones (thought about tahoe lol) & the sprin #one i manip'd a lot bc i needed a spring picture bc playoffs clinch in spring & that one fit so coincidentally perfect bc it's 7 straight #seasons 7 guys so. :) & i KNEW i swore to god they did more milk advertising i knew i was gonna do this one from the minute i saw the poem #the milk patch & it took a hot minute BUT I FOUND THIS ONE this one's for funsies.

you know as someone who doesn't want kids but enjoys the hell out of families in fiction both found and otherwise, I gotta say the people who are vehemently against the idea of their Girlboss Fav having kids because it'll ruin their characters are usually right but they're also super annoying about it.

#yes! they often will be reduced to ONLY being mothers in the event they have children by both fans and writers and that IS super annoying #but ALSO a lot of y'all get really hateful about the very concept of children in the process of expressing that #and it is super uncomfortable to witness #you know kids are still people right? they are human people regardless of if you personally like them or not #their only traits are not being sticky or clingy or dirty #they are whole entire people with actual personalities and feelings and wants #Yes even babies #the very prevalent hatred for children that exists in the world is truly horrifying #and seeing it in fandom when talking about the possibility of female characters wanting kids or a family is not shocking to me #but it is disappointing #especially when I often agree that I don't think one of these characters would WANT to be a mother #but their reasoning for why usually boils down to kids are disgusting and annoying #usually said in much nastier ways

Uhmm maybe I'm just overreacting but i think that some of y'all need to calm down about the hatchetfield death match...like I feel like some of y'all are taking this just a bit too seriously.

#hatchetfield #a pit stop in hatchetfield #hatchetfield death match #like some of y'all are just getting way too mad over the outcomes of these pretend death matches #i get being disappointed that the team you wanted to win didn't but I feel like some people are taking it just a tad bit too far #these are just for fun and to raise money for Cinderella's castle #so i don't get like #how viscerally mad some people are appearing to get over this

so here's what i'm thinking -- i'm gonna remake this blog. i've wondered for a while if i shouldn't just remake and start over ( with some exceptions ofc ) bc i've felt overwhelmed whenever i try to be here. it's my fault bc i let things pile up too much, and that happened bc i think i've just been biting off more than i can chew at a time.

that's why i'm going to attempt to make my blog a lil more private/selective this time around. i probably won't follow everyone on my new blog who i follow currently simply bc i want to focus more on my mutuals than i have been, and there's just no way i can do that if i'm following 100+ people. obviously if we're long time mutuals or we've interacted ic or ooc, you're stuck with me <3 but otherwise, pls know there's absolutely no hard feelings if i don't follow you!! i just want to be sure i'm surrounding myself with people i'm comfy with, especially when my social battery is low all the time lately. i promise if i could write and talk to everyone, i would ;n;

honestly!! it's gonna take me a while to remake bc it's gonna be a lot. it's gonna be a slow process bc i gotta set up the blog, the muse pages, reblog headcanons and whatnot, so it'll be a minute before i start all of this thanks to school. i just wanted to go ahead and get this post out and circulating so y'all know why i might be kinda silent aside from being busy.

#me making a longwinded post just to say i'm eventually remaking? yes ofc it's my brand #asdfg #but thank you all for being patient with me and i'm sorry if i disappoint anyone! #i just want to get back to writing more consistently like i used to #and maintaining conversations with my mutuals without making them wait a whole week for me to muster the spoons to talk #i want rp to be something i look forward to again rather than feeling bad bc i have a million things i owe #and mutuals who don't hear from me bc good gosh i just feel bogged down #yeah i just need to do this ;v; #get ready to ramble | ooc #weeps i need to go study now but i'm so sleepy y'all i don't wanna

#just saw the watcher announcement #extremely disappointing #how do you make a decision like that without seeing if it's something your audience will go for first #like do a survey y'all #i'm not even someone who knows a lot about business and i know to do interest checks first #SO disappointing omfg #ESPECIALLY them saying that it's affordable?? what???? #i literally don't have an income what are you saying #so out of touch #even if i wanted to spend money on that shit the money literally just isn't there #i bet their offices are SO awkward rn damn #i really thought watcher would be one of those channels that did amazing for a very long time #but there's no coming back from this #even if they quit the streaming service and come back to youtube there's no way they'll get the same views #literally in this economy and how negatively everyone views streaming services? wtf???

Welcome to Freddy Fazbear's! Where everything is larger than life, the Animatronics are way too lifelike, and... wait... Where's Circus Baby?

--

Well here's most of the FNAF!Humans in my AU! This is all Security Breach & RUIN (Animatronic) guys and all additional ones from FNAF1 and FNAF2's groups. The other FNAF3-8 (and World/AR) characters that I may add (and Fangame guys) will be made later, these ones are basically Security Breach/RUIN and FNAF1-2. Yes I am cutting characters I don't feel like fit into my AU world. No, Vanny and DJ Music Man will be in this eventually. I'll add them in alongside the FNAF5 group.

And did I use Axel and Irina's refs to get the average height of humans posted in relation to the Fazbear Group's heights? Absolutely.

#the disappointment speaks #drawings by me #ocs #technically these lot are all OCs. aside from what they're loosely based on they're entirely separate to FNAF #especially Cupcake. She's a dead person. we don't question her. <3 #Will I be adding in more humans? Yes. I'll add in Gregory Cassie and Vanessa. Maybe the odd other human. You never know. #There are a few ''humans'' I still need to add in including ''Vincent'' ''Liz'' and ''Michael'' #so have fun trying to figure out where those three fit into the potential lore #some are obvious. some are less so. Cupcake is kind of obvious. Liz probably as well. Michael it depends. Vincent's completely out there. #also I need to get DJMM looking GOOD before I make him. y'all dont understand how much I want him to look GOOD. #in my AU original DJ Music Man is a staff bot and thus cannot be one of these human versions. the later DJ Music Man was made by Goldie. #and the later one is actually an Animatronic because the bot DJMM ended up saving them (intentionally or not) from certain death #so hey making DJ Music Man into an animatronic was his way of thanking a staff bot. The only surviving staff bot is Map Bot btw #Map Bot is somewhere in this AU. I might draw him. who knows.

y’all just know that all the people who despised polin are out here popping BOTTLES over the fact that Polin is losing screentime to 3 other suitors

#i had low expectations and i'm still disappointed #genuinely don't get it???? #this is probably the most i've been out of sync with a fandom in my LIFE #and i've been in fandom for well over a decade #my being in fandom is almost old enough to votel #and i'm genuinely baffled #at the polin fans who are rejoicing over this news????? #like. . .y'all do realize this is everything people who didn't like polin wanted. . .right??? #feeling insane at the moment #like i'm living in a parallel dimension

how do I tell neurotypicals that I can see the traffic signs better when I’m driving an automatic car instead of a manual one without them thinking I’m crazy

#be careful rant ahead #I took that manual practice car 25 times #I learned how to drive it on the first day #but I just can't concentrate with all this changing gear all the damn time #so I finally switched to automatic #mind you I don't have my license yet I'm practicing #but with the manual one I felt like I was wasting my time because it was not the driving itself that bothered me #it was all the damn stops and reducing gear and whatnot #I just couldn't see the road as clearly for some reason #but yesterday I had my first automatic car practice and oh my god #I could see everything #when I told people I was switching from manual to automatic #you'd think I'd told them I wanted to move to the jungle #in my country they say women can do 2 things at once #yeah well I can't use my 4 limbs at once all the time it just takes up all my concentration #people kept telling me it's like riding a bike no tf it's not!!! #I have car anxiety or whatever why do you think I'm getting my license at 24yo????? #I'm sorry to be a disappointment but I just KNOW that I can't do this #it's like I reached a breaking point of all the expectations other people put on me #yes medschool included but that's a story for another day if y'all want to hear it #it'll mostly be me rambling #... #me

I have been on a Willy Wonkified journey today and I need y'all to come with me

It started so innocently. Scrolling Google News I come across this article on Ars Technica:

At first glance I thought what happened was parents saw AI-generated images of an event their kids were at and became concerned, then realized it was fake. The reality? Oh so much better.

On Saturday, event organizers shut down a Glasgow-based "Willy's Chocolate Experience" after customers complained that the unofficial Wonka-inspired event, which took place in a sparsely decorated venue, did not match the lush AI-generated images listed on its official website.... According to Sky News, police were called to the event, and "advice was given."

Thing is, the people who paid to go were obviously not expecting exactly this:

But I can see how they'd be a bit pissed upon arriving to this:

It gets worse.

"Tempest, how could it possibly--"

source of this video that also includes this charming description:

Made up a villain called The Unknown — 'an evil chocolate maker who lives in the walls'

There is already a meme.

Oh yes, the Wish.com Oompa Loompa:

Who has already done an interview!

As bad (and hilarious) as this all is, I got curious about the company that put on this event. Did they somehow overreach? Did the actors they hired back out at the last minute? (Or after they saw the script...) Oddly enough, it doesn't seem so!

Given what I found when poking around I'm legit surprised there was an event at all. Cuz this outfit seems to be 100% a scam.

The website for this specific event is here and it has many AI generated images on it, as stated. I don't think anyone who bought tickets looked very closely at these images, otherwise they might have been concerned about how much Catgacating their children would be exposed to.

Yes, Catgacating. You know, CATgacating!

I personally don't think anyone should serve exarserdray flavored lollipops in public spaces given how many people are allergic to it. And the sweet teats might not have been age appropriate.

Though the Twilight Tunnel looks pretty cool:

I'm not sure that Dim Tight Twdrding is safe. I've also been warned that Vivue Sounds are in that weird frequency range that makes you poop your pants upon hearing them.

Yes, Virginia, these folks used an AI image generator for everything on the website and used Chat GPT for some of the text! From the FAQ:

Q: I cannot go on the available days. Will you have more dates in the future? A: Should there be capacity when you arrive, then you will be able to enter without any problems. In the event that this is not the case, we may ask you to wait a bit.

Fear not, for this question is asked again a few lines down and the answer makes more sense.

Curious about the events company behind this disaster, I took myself over to the homepage of House of Illuminati and I was not disappointed.

I would 100% trust these people to plan my wedding.

This abomination of a website is a badly edited WordPress blog filled with AI art and just enough blog posts to make the casual viewer think that it's a legit business for about 0.0004 seconds.

Their attention to detail is stunning, from how they left up the default first post every WP blog gets to how they didn't bother changing the name on several images, thus revealing where they came from. Like this one:

With the lovely and compact filename "DALL·E-2024-01-30-09.50.54-Imagine-a-scene-where-fantasy-and-reality-merge-seamlessly.-In-the-foreground-a-grand-interactive-gala-is-taking-place-filled-with-elegant-guests-i.png"

"Concept.png" came from the same AI generator that gets text almost, but not quiiiiiite right:

There are a suspicious number of .webp images in the uploads, which makes me think they either stole them from other sites where AI "art" was uploaded or they didn't want to pay for the hi-res versions of some and just grabbed the preview image.

The real fun came when I noticed this filename: Before-and-After-Eventologists-Transformation-Edgbaston-Cricket-Ground-1024x1024-1.jpg and decided to do a Google image search. Friends, you will be shocked to hear that the image in question, found on this post touting how they can transform a boring warehouse into a fun event space, was stolen from this actual event planner.

Even better, this weirdly grainy image?

From a post that claims to be about the preparations for a "Willy Wonka" experience (we'll get to this in a minute), is not only NOT an actual image of anyone preparing anything for Illuminati's event, it is stolen from a YouTube thumbnail that's been chopped to remove the name of the company that actually made this. Here's the video.

If you actually read the blog posts they're all copypasta or some AI generated crap. To the point where this seems like not a real business at all. There's very specific business information at the bottom, but nothing else seems real.

As I said, I'm kinda surprised they put on an event at all. This has, "And then they ran off with all our money!" written all over it. I'm perplexed.

And also wondering when the copyright lawyers are gonna start calling, because...

This post explicitly says they're putting together a "Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory Experience" complete with golden tickets.

Somewhere along the line someone must have wised up, because the actual event was called "Willys Chocolate Experience" (note the lack of apostrophe) and the script they handed to the actors about 10 minutes before they were supposed to "perform" was about a "Willy McDuff" and his chocolate factory.

As I was going through this madness with friends in a chat, one pointed out that it took very little prompting to get the free Chat GPT to spit out an event description and such very similar to all this while avoiding copyrighted phrases. But he couldn't figure out where the McDuff came from since it wasn't the type of thing GPT would usually spit out...

Until he altered the prompt to include it would be happening in Glasgow, Scotland.

You cannot make this stuff up.

But truly, honestly, I do not even understand why they didn't take the money and run. Clearly this was all set up to be a scam. A lazy, AI generated scam.

Everything from the website to the event images to the copy to the "script" to the names of things was either stolen or AI generated (aka stolen). Hell, I'd be looking for some poor Japanese visitor wandering the streets of Glasgow, confused, after being jacked for his mascot costume.

HE LIVES IN THE WALLS, Y'ALL.

jean would always make paper rings for pieck whenever they're on a date, and he would always put it on pieck's ring finger

he keeps doing it for years, until he finally put a true diamond ring on pieck 🤭

(this was inspired by a tiktok vid i saw before, and Taylor swift's paper rings song was playing on the background)

this is so cute 🥺 tbh I'm not a swiftie myself (I'm so sorry uisjkhsd 😭), but I do notice a lot of jeanpiku stans happen to be swifties! I'll try to see if I can make something for you guys in the future, ty for your support 🥹💜 I'll listen to the song too just for you!! hehe <3 <3 ,3

#anonymous #asks #thank you for sending 🥺💜 #to clarify I don't mind the tswift hc's btw!! you guys can still send them if you want 🥰 #I just feel the need to make the disclaimer bc I don't want anyone to be disappointed if/when they find out 😭 #I still fully support y'all and I'm always happy for you guys whenever you get new tswift stuff/music!! ty again 🥺💜

Ordered a chalupa from Taco Bell with lettuce and tomato only.

And that's what I got, lettuce and tomato ONLY, they didn't put any meat in it!

I'm blaming the vegans for this one 😂

#somebody must be out here ordering beefless tacos and that's what they thought i wanted #weirdos #what's the point of getting a taco if you don't want the taco meat? just get a salad or smth like fdafaasfgaqf 😂 #i'm disappointed but I'm also laughing they followed directions so literally! #they usually get it wrong but not like this #aaaah setting the tone for the weekend i take it. here we go y'all 😅 #random
