Hello my little grieving friends (aka my CREW!)
I just want to talk about how much our flag means death has given me. I have not had internet friends since i were a teenager. They all kind of disapeared over time in the same way as high school classmates went away. I have been on this blog on tumblr since 2010 and i have never experienced what ofmd has given me. Not even in my very derranged ca 5 year long sherlock-era did i get to befriend and know this many amazing people who live in my phone. Some of you have come and gone and that is life, but some of you are still here and I hope I get to keep you here for a very long time. Max can not stop us and I want to be here with you until tumblr is put down like the beloved rabid pet it is.
Tumblr media
I think we are all taking the news very hard and I think it's important to remember what it is all about really. It's about love and family and above all else the crew so i just want to show some love for my beloved mutuals. And i hope maybe some of you will be inspired to do the same because its what we need in these dark times. We need to be a lighthouse guiding each other to shore.
First of all @gentlebeard - Ella💕 my beloved honey 🍯 I can not explain properly or even believe how lucky I am that I found you and that I get a little good morning from you every day. We have been talking every single day since the first message over a year ago and I don't remember or want to remember how i survived before that. I will treasure the time i spent drinking pina coladas on your balcony in the sun forever and i hope i will get some more time on that balcony this summer. I have found a pirate bar in Sweden so we can continue our expensive pirate drinks theme that we started in Berlin. There is no one else i want to spend 6-8 hours talking to over the phone.💕My partner in crime, lasagna partner and floor person or whatever nicknames we have come up with during this time. You are not just the perfect friend to have, you are also funny, sweet, smart and a expert at making fanvideos that make me cry my heart out and laugh my lungs up - sometimes at the same time 💕💕
@blakbonnet - Meow my darling💕 you were the first one i really started to talk to in the fandom and i am so glad i did. You brighten my days and i love talking to you you brilliant humanbeing (i often find myself thinking i have listened to much to cabin pressure because i struggle to use any other word than brilliant to explain things.. the Arthur runs deep in me) also thank you for being my personal skincare guide in life!! Your fics, your art, your edits, your gifs, your meta the whole you make my dash a better place and we are all happy to have you! There is nothing you are not good at and i am both a bit jealus and impressed by you. Its Meows fandom we all just live in it 💕💕
@youshouldseemeinadeerstalker - Nes my dear💕 We may not be talking very often but I know I always have you there. I loved our vacation together and we had so much to talk about that we didn't even realize that the same song kept playing in my car so long that it messed up my spotify wrapped. It was amazing taking naps with you outside ruins of castles and in botanical gardens and living together in the worlds smallest hotel room. I hope we can get lost together in more cities than Hamburg and Copenhagen. (preferably without rain and sickness and maybe with a map) 💕💕
@darkinerry - Marlena 💕 its a pleasure getting weather and work updates from you and i am always interested in knowing what you have been up to and what you have to say. It brightens my day, please never stop!! Your videos and gifsets can make any day better and you are always kind and funny which are two things i appreciate hugely in my friends!! 💕💕 + You have the coolest haircut out of all my mutuals 😌
@aha-my-villainous-thoughts - Ash my wife💕 my love💕Nothing can make me scream, blush and giggle as much as your fanart. You have this style of everything you make from fanart to dolls to interior design that is so special and breathtaking. One day we will drink so many lattes in a cosy cafe and then sniff lush products for the rest of the day. 💕 You are always there for me - as a online shoulder to cry on or to motivate me with the smuttiest wips ever. I am happy to be mutual married to you 💕💕
@bizarrelittlemew - Ida 💕- my thirsting for rhys brother in arms. I can not imagine tumblr without your gifs or your posts. I love screaming with you over a picture of rhys darbys bicep. I am so happy i got to meet you this summer and i really hope it will happen again. We are not that far from each other, just some miles and a stupid bridge; we can make it. You are always a sweetheart and an incredible friend who write the hottest fanfiction ever💕💕
@dickfuckk - josh 💕 (who I also thought for a long time was called tyler) I dont know where the fandom would be without your bts blog! its a international treasure and a service to humanity. i don't know how you do it. 💕You always have everything i have ever been looking for and as a bonus you are witty and funny like no one else. I am so happy i got to meet you and spend a whole day in your company! 💕
@izzy-b-hands - Holden my absolute darling!💕 I am so glad I got the chance to get to know you! You are smart, funny and kind and my izzy mutual tm. You are always there for me with kind words and I am still forever shipping izzy and the third badminton brother which I think is the best headcanon I have ever helped coming up with. 💕
@funforahermit - Kristina 💕 Your love for Rhys and your gifs are a staple on tumblr and my dash. I know where to go when i need someone to understand how hot Steve is (even if we have agreed that he is yours and Murray is mine which i still think is a fine deal). I very often make or see a picture of Rhys and my first thought is "I NEED TO SHOW KRISTINA THIS" so you live rentfree in my brain 💕
@rainbowcrowley - Addi 💕If i ever start playing wow again you bet i am gonna be talking your ear off about my little frost mages progress but in the meantime i am happy to have you on my dash and even if we don't talk that much are you a beloved part of my dash and brighten it daily.💕💕
@fandomsmeantheworldtome - Maria💕 You were one of the very first people i found in this fandom and your gifs might have helped my rhys obession taking form. You might be into many things I have never heard of but its a pleasure seeing your excitement over everything. You are always a ray of sunshine and i love that so much💕💕
@tabbystardust - Tabby dear💕 You are the kindest person I know who I always get the strongest need to hug and hold close. Your fanart is beyond this world and i adore it like nothing else. Its always both hot and soft in the best way ever💕 I am always excited to get kitty updates and to hear about your ramen receipts. I hope we can still meet at the con next year! I am game if you are!! 💕💕
@hummingbee-o0o - Humming 💕 (i dont know your name sorry) I am always excited to hear your thoughts and metas about everything ofmd related as well as your beautiful art. 💕 it was a pleasure to scream about season 2 after every watched episode!💕
@xoxoemynn - Emy 💕💕 i am so happy to be mutual with you! 💕You always bring joy to the people who get to be around you and fill my dash with the same. We might not talk often but i know you got my back! That is the kind of person you are!💕
@saltpepperbeard - Jodi💕 No one write tags on tumblr dot com like you. There is nothing that can cheer me up more than see that one of my posts has gotten a whole ass novel written in the tags and then i instinctively know that its you who have left your wonderful mark. You are always excited and such a lovely human to be mutual with. 💕 And on top of that you make incredible gifs that make my heart stop!!! 💕💕
@autumnbois - Kai 💕💕 I hope you are doing okay. We might not talk much right now but you were there for me when i needed it most and you are a good friend to have living in my phone.💕💕 I will think of you whenever i see something related to scream and your love for piccrew always make me smile💕
@edsbacktattoo - Jams, jams jams! 💕 We are never online at the same time because of the damn time differences *shakes fist* but you are a staple in this fandom.

@appleteeth - Liz 💕 No one is quite as normal about rhys darby as you and it a pleasure to watch! Speaking of pleasure.. your fic the slightest touch is an all time favorite of mine and i would be embarrassed to tell you how many times i have read it... you are one of my mutuals that i am baffled that they want to follow me.

@awkward-fallen-angel - Heather 💕 You are one of the sweetest people i have had the pleasure to come across.

About the Casino Royale stream on Beyond Live and how to make sure it happens again
I don't often write posts but I wanted to get something out for what is pretty much an historical day for Takarazuka. We just had for the first time in forever an officially subbed stream on Beyond Live, not only a platform fans not living in Japan can access easily without bothering with a VPN but also with subtitles in several languages and with the possibility of a restream with improved english subtitles at a decent hour (not at dawn and not in the middle of the night). And it was just so so much fun. Not only for long time fans but for new fans who never really knew how to get into something as niche as zuka, with people coming from all around the globe.
This is an amazing opportunity we just had and I'm sure we'd all like for this to become a regular thing. However, it's been stated that this stream was basically a test. If this whole operation turns out to be profitable, then we might have more of this. There isn't much we can do now about the profitability but there is one thing we can do to put the odds on our side : absolutely refrain from posting any pic or clip of the stream on the internet. TikTok, twitter, instagram, even private and unlisted youtube videos, just don't post anything about the Casino Royale stream out there.
I'm not saying this out of Respect For The Law. Frankly, I generally don't care about all of this and I'm not trying to preach about the Evil Of Pirating. But it's important for people to know who they're dealing with and Hankyu Corporation (the company owning Takarazuka) is extremely strict on copyrights and has been getting stricter recently. It is all too likely they might not only stop Beyond Live streams but they might even stop Rakuten livestreams, if the international fandom ever gets too careless about what we post.
I say "international" because most of us are used to a complete different approach when it comes to sharing content and the matter of copyrights. In all my fandom experiences, copyrights was never an issue I kept in mind but Takarazuka quickly showed me that it was going to be different. That's why I'm writing all of this, to warn newer fans that as much as I love their enthusiasm, it's better for eveyone if we all try to be cautious, or else we might lose the little we get.
We'll see how things evolve! With time, we could get looser about all of this but for the time being, I really urge all of you who might have taken pictures or recorded stuff to keep it to themselves or only share it through private conversations. Just no public posting.
Here's to hoping we get tons of livestreams with subtitles in the future 💖

I’m emotional and can’t stop thinking so, the indomitable human spirit. What is it?
This is a form of philosophy, actually, but it’s also a meme right now and that’s just so fascinating to me!
Tumblr media
It is the embodiment of hope that you as a human being have. The hope to get up in the morning, smile, laugh, or hope for the days in which you see those things once again. And in a world in which you are surrounded by drought, corrupt politicians, food shortages, and a recession, hope can be the only thing you have sometimes. Everyone wants to make the world a better place, it’s in our nature. Everyone wants to be a hero.
And this meme? Shows that. It shows that we will always be fighting. THESE KIDS?
Tumblr media
They will do the very same.
The indomitable human spirit will prevail over the nihilism we often surround ourselves in. It’s a story, it will forever reflect reality just as reality will always reflect a story. They are two halves of the same coin; a story will change and grow just as much as you will.
One of my favorite quotes about the human experience is from Steven Universe. As Rose says, “But you, you’re supposed to change! You’re never the same, even moment to moment. You’re allowed and expected to… INVENT who you are! What an incredible power.”
It is able to completely encompass that you? Yes you, are allowed and expected and are SUPPOSED to change! Change yourself, change the world. You can choose to be nihilistic or hopeful, naive or wise, you are allowed to be anything and that’s what makes being human and being alive so incredible.
I don’t live out of spite for others, I live in hope for a better future for those to come. And that’s a CHOICE. A choice I made, and a choice I will continue to make. Whether that makes me naive or wise doesn’t matter because the line can become so blurred. The nativity of a child can be a lesson you learn as you grow old. Or the wise knowledge you once knew can become naive because it stops you from thinking of anything different.
The perspective of hope becoming something to cherish on the internet, to be the norm is something I have always wanted. I hate tragedy, I always have and always will. I choose to believe in hope for the future.
I choose to believe that someway, somehow, an lgbt male main character in a shonen can happen. That there is still time for us to stop global warming from baking us alive. That the corruption in my own country can make a turn for something better.
The corruption and power imbalance in the world survives bc we do not hope for a better future. Because we feel all too helpless in the inevitability of death and sorrow. When in reality, our life and meaning is about what we want it to be. What we choose it to be about. Making the world a better place or putting ourselves in the position of power, it’s all a choice. Just as you, my friend, the one reading this post are thinking that you can’t do anything compared to the entire system; you’re right. You can’t. Not individually. However we have always been good at socializing, and working, and being better people. We are able to grow and learn together, stop those things together. Because trying to take on the world alone, like a hero, like Izuku, will only mean the downfall of our hope. We are human, we have gotten as far as we have because we have worked together.
We choose to hope. We choose our indomitable human spirit.
Edit to this lol: the most beautiful part about this meme? It was born out of a trend about the cruelty of the world. The darkest, shittiest, and most slimiest parts of what we as humans and the universe has to offer. It became a counter trend, something to spike hope in people. It is exactly like the protagonist in a story who sees the evil in the world, an antagonist, and learns to grow and defeat that antagonist. For the trend, the antagonist is the world itself. And the current arc is the one following the protagonists darkest moments. What a beautiful thing to happen right after Katsuki coming back to life?
Also, this philosophy is actually born out of religion! Forgot to mention that. It is a belief that god gave you the indomitable human spirit so that you could prevail even in the darkest moments. The thing that makes you unique. And I love that. I love that it’s a philosophy that was made into a meme. It’s something I haven’t had a word for but have followed for a very long time, even when I saw my parents or peers around me loose themselves to nihilism. My mom, specifically. Don’t let yourself stop hoping. Continue to live for a better future, if there’s nothing left then we can build it back brick by broken brick.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!! 🥳 🎊
HELLOOOO EVERYONE i am going to make a new year post after all! currently beginning working on this at 11:32 pm because i know it’s going to take me a while and i thought it would be nice to spend the turning of the new year talking about my friends. i also hope you enjoy this header i’m using it because i’m too lazy to make a cute one and i might later and also one of my friends said do it or no balls. 
honestly this year went by incredibly quickly for me. it was pretty uneventful, which might be a good thing!! i did get to meet two of my best online friends in the world when i saw stray kids live this summer, and that was probably top 10 days of my life!! so i’m really thankful that happened this year if nothing else. i’m one year closer to graduating community college as a part time student, and i’ll be turning 26 this month 😭 but you know, making it another year in itself is a big accomplishment if nothing else! i’m proud of everyone that made it another year and thank you for being here with me to read this post. i really appreciate all of you, whether we’re close friends or simply beloved casual mutuals, or if you’re even just a follower of mine; thank you for putting up with and even enjoying my sporadic posting and vaguely unhinged tags and gifs and other content, whether here or over on yangjeongin.
this will be my third turn of the new year i’m celebrating with everyone on tumblr upon return from my seven or whatever year hiatus, and it’s crazy that i’ve been giffing again since 2020. some of you have been with me since all the way back then and i’m so thankful!! i didn’t spend a ton of time on my dash this year (thank u to my bad internet that takes forever to load thereby making it an incredibly frustrating experience!) but i have more in the past several weeks and i’ve really enjoyed it!! i’m hoping that only continues into 2023. 
i do want to specifically thank some people for making my life on tumblr (and in general) better in 2022, but know that even if i don’t write you a specific message i still am so thankful for you keeping me company on tumblr dot hell in whatever way you have this past year!
i’ll put all my love for everyone under the cut and i know i will forget someone and feel bad but i cannot overstate how much i love all my mutuals enough!!
first of all, to @minijeong @miyawaki @redvelvetcult @bataranqs @seulggi my awoo9ers, thank you for being part of my life every day. i love reading back what u guys have said in the gc and i love seeing your content and chatting with u and your wacky n wild senses of humor, being your friend for the past few years has made my life better and i’m looking forward to making more memories in 2023 🎉 i love u!! i do want to call out a couple awoo9 members in particular though because i have more specific things to say!!
iwin - @anyujins ; hiii i feel like there’s so much to say but also so little?? but we started talking at the beginning of this year and have talked so much since and i just wanted to say i have really loved talking to u and getting closer to you this year. i genuinely feel like i can talk to you about anything and i am soso thankful for that and for u supporting me and i’m really glad that i can do the same for you! i know 2022 has been a rough year for you so i hope 2023 is better. for both of us!! haru - @minhos ; u probably won’t see this post and GOOD because i hate getting mushy with u. gross icky ew. but you know how much i appreciate and love you (or at least i hope you do) thank you for being my friend for so many years and for essentially creating my personality bc i think all of my interests are your fault SDFSDGSDG but thank u because in the end it’s all made my life better and so have you tee - @ddonghyun ; we haven’t talked much (or at all?) this year but i think you were the first friend i made upon my return to tumblr so know i am really thankful to you and still think about you a lot whenever i’m on this account <3 i haven’t seen you on my dash in a while and i don’t know if it’s just bad timing or you are finally escaping the black hole that is tumblr but either way i hope 2023 treats you well! eri - @wonjinist ; ultimately we haven’t been mutuals for that long but u deserve ur own message because every time i see u, despite us rarely speaking and just being mutuals that see each other and support each other on dash, i’m like omg that’s my friend eri. i simply consider u my friend regardless of how much we’ve actually interacted so thank u for your effortlessly friendly warm and kind personality that makes it feel so natural to simply be your friend <3 i hope u have a great 2023!

OKAY ENOUGH!!!! if you read all of these for some reason you’re insane btw but thank you??? and for anyone that isn’t on here, i will once again reiterate that i appreciate you regardless. i did just get kind of burnt out i could only write so many of these SDFSDGSD but much love, i hope this post brightens your day a little and helps 2023 get off to a little bit of a better start ✨ happy new year!

what's your take on the whole mack3030 racism thing?
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I've addressed this before but I keep getting asks about it, so I thought I'd put everything in one post for easy reference.
The first and only time I put @mack3030 on my blog was when I referenced her as someone that knew about the doxxing situation, when I was asked about it by an anon referring to @miikocc. At that point, my miiko post was flooded by comments by someone who seemed to think I was friends with Mack and acted repeatedly shady when asked for receipts for their claims. So I made another post asking for any info on this situation and I got some truly helpful people there that directed me to what I needed to know (some of the above anons did as well). Mack herself also shared her side on my post.
I looked at all the receipts and considered it all carefully. I knew that Mack had apologized and decided at the time to let it be there, since I didn't follow her anyway. I decided to remove my reference to her in my post and simply not interact with/reblog from her. I almost never block people as a rule, which is why she's still able to reblog my posts and tag me, and I don't restrict who interacts with my content in that way. I like to be aware of what's happening in this community, and blocking people hinders my ability to be, even if I disagree with them or find them problematic. I wanted to see her actions for myself and make another post later (based on what I refer to later in this same post). Someone tagging me in a post does not mean I support or agree with them.
At this point, my issue with Mack is not necessarily her past alone; I, for one, believe that anyone can change and become better. I have to. It's easy to block people on the internet, but it's not something I can do in real life. I live in a red state, in a small town, where I constantly see people and care for patients that are overwhelmingly conservative. I was the only one in my entire extended family that voted against Trump, both times. My coworkers are almost all conservative, no matter their race. Patients have an even higher ratio. I hear racism, transphobia, homophobia, sexism, and more every day. Until I'm in a different area- and even then, these people will exist- it's something I have to put up with. All I can do is say my piece and then try to see the good in people. Because there is still good in many of these people, beyond the cult of personality that has hurt so many, including myself. I see progress with my coworkers when they ask me about gender identity and neurodivergence, when we discuss race and poverty and worker's rights. There are even some that don't support Trump anymore after realizing many of the things he stood for that they were honestly ignorant of. I have to encourage that, because what's the alternative? Telling them they're wrong and evil forever now and just have to be my enemy from now on? People that have differing opinions from me are a constant in my life, and if I didn't have hope that they could change, I would honestly be miserable. So that is not the main reason I don't interact with Mack (besides not wanting to expose people that have been hurt by her to her content).
The bigger reason why I don't follow/interact with Mack is because I haven't seen the evidence of her changing, yet. She apologized, and that's good, but actions speak louder than words. Before the EA paywall debacle in the past week, and after I received the receipts about Mack, there were more issues with her involving blogs such as @gyarutrait and @saruin. Mack's friend @texasthegreatdestroyer was sending some very antagonizing and hurtful messages to people in an apparent defense of her. These messages displayed ableism, misgendered @gyarutrait several times, and presented a very enlightened centrist take on the political side of the entire debacle. They also messaged @saruin to berate them for blocking Mack. I messaged Mack and told her that this was extremely concerning to me and that her friend was hurting her case and only further ostracizing her in the community, and the way that Mack was being silent was encouraging me to think that she hadn't changed and agreed with her friend's views. I told Mack that if she truly had changed, she needed to speak up and denounce these actions, make her disagreement with those views clear, and apologize to those that were hurt. Mack's response was that she didn't agree with her friend, and that she needed time in order to make a proper response to that situation. I gave her that time, but nothing has come of it, even though Mack has been posting regularly about the paywall situation and reblogging from/tagging me.
Mack, you will never get away from what people think of you as long as you continue to allow this behavior. Of course, even if you said something, no one is obligated to to accept your apology or forget what you've done. But ignoring it, or allowing people to get hate and offensive messages on your behalf, is only convincing more people that the best thing to do is block you and never listen to a word you say. It also cements the ideas of people that think you'll never change and that they should be in the inbox of everyone you interact with to warn them about you. I know the paywall content is kind of like your thing now, and you feel like paying attention to this detracts from that conversation... but as I've said so many times now, we can care about more than one issue at once. And this is an issue that only seems to be consistently hindering you despite not acknowledging it.
I hope this answers your question, nonny.
Edit: while in the process of writing this, I saw that Mack has blocked the Texas account. I still haven't seen an apology or longer post from her addressing this, I can't find it, but if there is one please let me know. Even so, I'm less than impressed that we talked about this over a week ago and there was only a response now because she started getting heat for it again. Your friend is not you, and you can't control her, yes. But if you truly didn't agree with her, you should've made that clear long before this moment. I hope that the people that were hurt by this, at least, received some sort of apology or relief.

this is a rant about AI generated art because I am enraged.
if you want to hear a professional artist speak on AI art more elegantly than me then I highly recommend Steven Zapata’s video. he said everything better than I ever could: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjSxFAGP9Ss&t=5s
the more i learn about AI art the more i literally believe in like 10 years or so we will somehow live in a worst capitalist dystopia where most artistic professional jobs don't exist. You pay a subscription fee to some AI company that just spits out art, movies, comics, novels etc whatever you want on mass, so fast, that art will be personalised to you as in you know how google and other companies track you everywhere on the internet well so will AI companies. they’ll know you more than you know yourself. their algorithms will be fine-tuned just to ur tastes. you won't even need to type in prompts, it will do it for you and show you hundreds, thousands, of art in your feed. You can scroll forever and the algorithm will just make more art. the AI will be so trained to keep ur retention, making ur session time longer and longer and you’ll lose more hours.
Like how many tiktoks do you actually remember? vs how many hours do you stay on the app? do you think the time you spend on tiktok is worthwhile? i use tiktok as an example bc that's only the start of how good AI algorithms can get. give them a few more years with more silicon valley companies competing to be the next big app and they’ll get smart and better in ways you can never imagine.
in the eyes of companies, humans make flaws and humans take too long to make art. it's ripe for automation. companies don't give a fuck about real art and human expression. they only care about profit, profit, profit. what all tech companies want is ur time, your attention, they want to fill all ur waking moments with their products. literally billions of dollars have already been put into AI and though some of the AI art right now might be cringe or just funny, it wont be at some point. In a few months, years, decades, who knows, it will a lot more indistinguishable from human art. that's going to be a problem. you're not going to be able to avoid it because you're not going to be able to what was made by a human and what was made by an AI.
you may think that humans will stop watching or consuming AI art that is bland and seems well AI generated but thats the thing, it will always evolve. In fact companies might just make up fake people to say it was made by and you will never know how much of it was made by humans and how much was made by AI algorithms. if you dont think at some point a bunch of big budget movies, video games, tv shows etc wont be written by AI when it's possible to create a script that doesn't seem like it's written by an AI then you’re crazy.
its going to be a lot harder to make living if you’re not one of the top artists because how the fuck do you compete again AI. you can’t and that’s the point.
its so fitting for evil capitalists that they would rather fund billions of dollars into AI that was designed to replace artists than ever pay artists fair wages.
i dont think people will stop creating art but i do think that a lot of professionals are going to find a hard time keeping their careers without serious changes. you really cant become a master of ur craft without being a professional artist, it just takes that long to gain the experience, knowledge and insight to walk in the footsteps of the masters before. thats what art is. hard work, dedication and discipline. its not something that only a divine few who have the gifts of the gods can do. anyone can become a master artist it just takes devoting ur life to pursue your craft and what a fucking insult it is for billionaires to just fund their extreme amount of money into some goddam shaddy af AI companies to replace professional artists' job, well thats their hope anyway.
this isnt the same like photography was to painting or digital was to traditional. its true that those technological innovations did destroy a lot of jobs but also created new artistic jobs, and they did have massive effects on the industry and i dont want to minimize the number of people who’s careers were destroyed bc of it. But those were massive changes in tools. They didn't actually replace the concept of artists themselves. AI is meant to do as much, if not all, of the artists work for them, so artists don't need to exist in a professional sense.
why would a games company hire concept artists if an AI can come up with hundreds of different concepts in a matter of seconds? maybe human artists might be better but when the AI is good enough a company won't give a shit.
I dont know when this change will happen or how it will occur and how people will react to it but mark my words these AI companies are going to try to make it happen while maintaining the face of just their just simply pushing human progress and this was somehow just a natural evolution of technology.
none of this was natural it was funded by billionaires.
this is not even to mention how these AI’s train on copyrighted artworks with no permission from the artists. and this process is not like how humans learning from other artists, AI’s dont think, they just copy, steal, combine artworks very fast and on mass scale in away no human could ever do. You cant compare how AI’s and how humans learn. there are not the same no matter how big shot programmers try to make them more similar, AI is a machine we could never do what it does. and it is stealing from artists every time it generates art.
I study programming and literally you dont even know the number of jobs there are in AI. its a field that's expanding every day. it's not just a few companies but every big tech company putting massive resources into it. for them, algorithms are the future of humanity.
I am not saying there isn't some actually usefulness in AI created images for example i think getting insane highly specific poses and references at the click of a button is extremely useful but that's just a by-product of what these AI companies want out of their product. they are meant to replace artists' jobs by the click of a button. that's their dream.
AI companies dont care about integrity or intention or the artistic cannon or mastering one’s craft. Companies don’t pour billions of dollars into a technology just for it to be used for meme culture or quirky images. Every time you type in a prompt you are training the AI, its how neural networks work, by releasing them for free to the public you are training the AI for them. and they will train faster than you ever thought. i cant even imagine what the AI images will look like this time next year and they will improve drastically. mark my words.
You are a fool if you dont think AI won’t have a massive and very dystopian effect on society. Capitalism is somehow killing art even more.
maybe you think I’m being dramatic and I hope I am wrong but there is no doubt that AI generated art will change commercial and professional art as we know it.

the anti zionism = anti semitism laws just passed by the us house of reps is fuckin terrifying and i hate it so much and the worst part it is, aside from palestinian americans, if will overwhelmingly effect american jews protesting the use and equation of their religion to the war crimes of the zionist regime of israel. this law will put palestian americans and their allies protesting the genocide of their people at risk just as equally as the jews around the world protesting the zionist state of israel and their utter disgrace to the jewish faith. zionism is a disgrace; an utter spit in the face of the jewish faith, and yet they have the audacity to cry anti semitism when someone criticizes their over a half century of war crimes. when jewish people around the world from leaders to casual observers agree this is a fucking disgrace and it’s disgusting and anti semetic to equate the zionist state of israel w the jewish faith. that’s the kinda shit neo nazis want. they want to paint the jewish people as nothing it war criminals and use israel as a so called example. when really all israel is yet another demonstration of the united states control in other countries and purposefully keeping them unstable through consistent colonial expansion and us backed support of these so called governments. they’re scared of the internet, just like they’ve always been scared of knowledge. because knowledge is power and they rely on ignorance and desperation and keeping people in such poverty they don’t have the energy to focus on anything else. we’ve proven we can make a difference. that’s what scared so many people in the filling class about the pandemic. everyone was out of work so they actually had time to think as process and feel and act on their beliefs. it’s what they hate it’s what they do their god damn best to surprise and guess what thinking it at all is an affront to them. fuck them. i grew up in the catholic church. i know better than anyone how deeply the depravity runs. our country is brain washed so deeply we can’t even recognize it cause it’s been goin on for so many years. the world hates and laughs at us for fully understandable reason. we hate and laugh along too. except we’re stuck here. cause our parents or grandparents though the us was a place to prosper. a place they could escape their decades of poverty. but it didn’t turn out dod it? if i was my nonni id be a pissed ass ghost. all that work to give your kids a better life and it’s just more bullshit and suffering. fuck it am i right? if i could talk to nonno and nonni as teenagers now i would be lost forever speaking a them. i never even met nonno armando. but i wish i could. i’ve always wished i could. if i click ahve super power it would be to speak with the dead. nothing much else just sit down and converse w them and pass along messages between them and the living. i would hope someone would do that for me once im dead too. but its sad innit. we’re a sad sad sad family. we all suffered and continue to suffer so much. but the living of us push forward despite it all. hit it sucks. it fucking sucks. to mourn both the dead and the living. to mourn at all. it breaks my mind.

Top 5 TV series!
I forgot I put that 'top five' thing into my queue and wasn't sure what prompted this message until I scrolled back through my blog.
Thanks for the ask, anon! I hope you're ready for some unpopular (and very dated) picks.*
5. Art Attack
Tumblr media
Look, I was a lonely kid. For much of my childhood it was just me and my brother... and this very keen British man who taught me how to turn scrap paper, paint, and foil into my own spaceship cockpit. Ideas from this show allowed me to decorate my room as a kid, got me through high school art class, and saved my arse several times when I was a kindergarten teacher in South Korea.
One of the best informational programmes ever made. They should bring it back.
4. Air Crash Investigation
Tumblr media
I'm sorry. I know it's cheap. I know it's tacky. I know all that. But I love this show. I love learning about and solving mysteries that aren't murders (sorry Sherlock), and the terrible acting makes it so much better. I can't watch this show with people, because I always try to guess the cause of the crash before the end of the episode and yell it out... and I don't know anything about planes to I'm usually very wrong.
Example:
Me: "It's the bulkhead! Check the bulkhead, you fools!"
Voice over: "The investigators check the bulkhead, but find nothing."
Me: "Yes! Because it's clearly the wings, like I've been saying all along."
3. Justice League Animated Series
Tumblr media
I got into this series really late. I'd just moved out of home for the first time to go to film school and was having a hard time making friends. I don't know how it happened, but I somehow ended up watching the entirety of the DC Animated Universe during that time, which is impressive, because internet was expensive and terrible where I was living, so I had to go to the library, download episodes, and walk the 45 minutes home carrying my massive old laptop. It was a feat, but it was worth it. This show did what the Avengers couldn't, made me love superheroes.
2. Yu-Gi-Oh!
Tumblr media
When I was 12 I was the best Yugioh player in my school. Sure, it wasn't a big school, and not everyone was into the game, but it was still a big deal for me, especially as I was also the only girl who played. The game has since evolved way beyond my skill level, but at the time, I was a god among mortals. 12 year old mortals, but still. I got up early every morning to see the latest episode, and then I went to school ready to d-d-d-d-duel.
Xena: Warrior Princess
Tumblr media
I'm sorry. This show is just so nostalgic for me. For a while, I grew up on a farm with no actual TV signal, but we did have old VHS recordings of Xena and I watched it religiously. Lucy Lawless is amazing and this show is forever the best thing to come out of the 90s (and I say that while also, myself, being a product of the 90s). It has:
Monsters
Magic
Mayhem
Queer Love (not explicitly stated, but this wasn't queerbaiting, this was censorship, they were a couple by the mid point of the series, they just couldn't say it, so instead they made a lot of unsubtle sex jokes and came up with obscure reasons why they always had to kiss to save the world).
Aotearoa (New Zealand is the most beautiful place on the planet, I'm sorry if you disagree, you are wrong).
Tonal whiplash (not just between episodes, but sometimes in the same episode, and it was wild)
One very horny vampire episode
Xena can sometimes fly without any explanation
They met an early reincarnation of Jesus and he was a conman living in India?
You know that scene where Character A gets hurt and Character B goes absolutely feral? This.
Leather bikinis and ninja kicks except it's ancient Greece, maybe
The musical episode was the best episode
They fight on ladders a lot and I just think that's neat
*Disclaimer: I am into more modern and normal things but I'm in a nostalgic mood, so these are the things you get to hear about today.

Funniest “no beta we die-“ tags that I’ve found on A03 and what i rate them:
No beta we die like authors who wrote this in one hour
♾️/10
it’s absolutely perfect.
It’s honest.
it’s relatable
more than i’d care to admit
No beta we die like barb
10/10
hit me right where it hurts
JUSTICE FOR BARB
No beta we just die
100/10
Straight to the point
No room for disagreement
No beta we die like the mc’s hope for the future
+♾️/10
I fully snorted when I saw this one
Too accurate.
Like waaaaayyy too accurate
I didn’t go on A03 to be called out like this.
it’s not trauma it’s ✨character development✨
No beta we die like my first love
8/10
Relatable.
First loves never work I swear-
I really hope this is talking about the love for someone dying and not the actual PERSON dying
No beta we die like my sleep schedule
100/10
Terrifyingly perfect and relatable accuracy
Perfectly summed up what it’s like to write fan fics
There is no room for a sleep schedule as a writer
No beta we die like my dignity
♾️/10
Honestly enough said.
I lose a piece of myself every time I decide to write fan fic
There is no room for dignity, only fan fic.
No beta sadly we die like my motivation to do uni work
10/10
Maybe not specifically uni work but I have definitely left work unfinished while I wrote a fan fic
You have too.
Don’t even deny it.
No beta we cry ourselves to sleep
100/10
The reason angst fics take so long to write is because we can’t see through our own tears
Angst writers only write angst to condemn someone to the same fate as themselves
Change my mind.
No beta we die like izuku’s will to live
100/10
The better side of the MHA fandom
The poor boy has been put through so much already
Does that mean we as writers will stop putting him through stuff?
No.
No beta we die like my heart did watching last night’s episode
♾️/10
Enough said.
I don’t even have to see what fandom this is from
All I know is that this is always the beginning of a great fic.
It’s a canon event.
We must sacrifice our mental state for the fics.
No beta we die like side characters
100000/10
I cackled
It scared my dog.
“Now I’m going to go into heavy detail about my life even though I’ve only said two sentences and been seen only twice” is when you KNOW they’re about to die
BUT WHY DO THEY ALWAYS HAVE TO DIE???
I HAPPENED TO LOVE THE RANDOM ICE CREAM GUY NAMED DAVE WHO GOT APPROXIMATELY 0.02 SECONDS OF SCREAM TIME
No beta reader we die like peeps in the microwave
7/10
This one made me laugh
I don’t quite know why
Anyone would die in a microwave?
Why are you jumping into a microwave?
Was the ending really that bad?
Was it the good omens season 2 ending?
Is there room in the microwave for 2 peeps?
P.s: I am assuming they meant ‘peeps’ as in people and not those little birds candy things from America
Absolutely no beta we die like Junpei
-100/10
You made me cry
Just 7 words and the tears were free
Why would you do this to me?
This but if JJK has emotionally scarred me for life.
I will actually rate it 10000/10 because I will admit it is hilarious
But I swear-
Absolutely no beta we go down like a faulty elevator
8/10
I mean fair enough-
No beta we die like my originality after this fic
8/10
You either have too much originality or too little originality
there is no in between for a fan fic writer
However, most Wattpad writers some how manage to both have no originality with the petite -5’5 valley girl who was just sold off to the band One Direction
But also too much originality with the amount of random bull$h!!t going on in the fic
Ya’ll amaze me on that app.
Again no beta we die like Jason!
100000000/10
The exclamation mark is the icing on the cake
It sounds so happy that Jason is dead
Like Jason’s dead! 😁
Just needs a :) face now
AKA no beta we die like our brain cells
♾️/10
Braincells?
What braincells?
I’m convinced most writer just have a fic idea and then go into a comatose and
💥 Bam💥
fic finished and posted on the internet forever
aka no beta we die of CRINGE
100/10
No writer can honestly say that they haven’t posted a fic that they look back on and don’t cringe so hard they implode
The cringe takes over.
It has a mind of its own
Almost No Beta We Die Like Uhh Bigender People
10000/10
This is so vaguely threatening??
What did the bigender people do?
Why are they dying?
Why the hesitation??
Are there more gender-ed people who are dying????
Were they’re too many from you to pick from????
WHY DID YOU HAVE TO TYPE THE “Uhh”??????
Also no beta reader we die like the missing children
1000/10
Again.
Vaguely threatening?
Why are the children missing?
Did you kidnap children to be your beta readers?
Did they escape????
Also no beta we die like our favourite characters
100000/10
Just like the side character one
This is PEAK comedy
No one can convince me otherwise
Also no beta we die like ants in the mighty spiral
10000000000000/10
I love subjective humour
I can relate to the ants in the their death spiral whilst writing fics
Also ants are cool
I really hope more people get this-
Also no beta we die like cishet white men writing their first erotica novel
10000/10
Hilarious.
I have never seen this before but I somehow already know what it looks like?
And it’s funny
Also no beta we die like endeavour’s hero career
1000/10
Extra points for the MHA reference
Dabi really DESTROYED endeavours hero career
Like the guy had it coming anyway-
Also I would like to point out that there were 4 OF THESE spelt in DIFFERENT ways, like some had a capital ‘Endeavour’
And that is funny to me because it implies that 4 separate people had the same idea for this tag
Also no beta we die like every fan-favourite character on spn
100/10
I just love how we as authors can all relate with our favourites dying all the time
Like it may be worded different but we all have the same idea-
There’s 1230 or something pages of just these “no beta we-“ tags and I would love to try and go through them but yeah-
I’m lazy 🫠
Might do some more rating soon 🫡

It has been a rough few days.
July 23rd-26th is always a hard time for my family. Those four days in the hospital after my sister’s accident are forever etched into my brain. 14 years. I’d say I can’t believe it’s been 14 years, but it feels like it’s been a lifetime without her. I chose not to talk about it this year because there was too much going on to field calls and texts from friends. But it sucked having to function through everything going on over the past week.
Sigh.
George’s eval was just a formality, his diagnosis is an automatic qualifier. He’s been doing well though, is repeating actual words to almost every song, and can count to 10 and sing ABCs independently. He is still considered pre-verbal because he isn’t saying much outside of that but he did say “fry” the other day, which was a new one! And he has learned to communicate by standing in front of what he wants and saying “please, please, please” in the cutest little voice ever. He’ll get there. Gestalt processing is just a different way.
My leg is slightly better today. Last night I had a fever of 101 two hours after Tylenol but hoped it was just my body fighting off the infection and it was. I am quite relieved in general of course, but there is no way I could leave sick kids with Justin in the current state of our house. He could handle it, but it would give me anxiety. Also, a huge container of baby powder exploded (don’t use baby powder on babies FYI, someone told me to get it to use to help get sand/dirt off the kids and I don’t get the hype, just let them air dry and then scrub it off with a towel). Anyway. The container was jumbo size and they put it at the bottom of a huge wardrobe box full of every towel we own?? My gosh. The laundry. Trying not to freak about overwhelming my sensitive septic with 15 loads of vomit and baby powder laundry today.
After reading @that-girl-erin’s post, I decided to turn off anon. Tumblr has been a safe place to process my feelings and get them out so they’re not festering and I’m not dumping them on people irl. If what I write bothers you, please unfollow.
I don’t understand the concept of following people you don’t like. I know it’s a thing, I just don’t get it. I don’t like to be annoyed? So when I start to get annoyed I unfollow. I don’t say anything mean when I do, in fact I feel almost guilty but I just don’t have the brain space to consume accounts that leave me feeling something negative.
Also. I don’t get mean people in general. I live by the phrase “you catch more flies with honey” because it’s true. You don’t ever get what you want by being a jerk. The anon could have said ‘hey, your content lately has been triggering to me because so many people struggle financially and I wanted to remind you of that’ and I would have been omg I’m so sorry, I’m the jerk. But that’s not how it went down.
I’m also disturbed by comments I see on Instagram influencer accounts that are not anonymous. Hey. Just because you don’t know someone personally doesn’t mean they are not a person. With feelings.
I’m sad for the state of the internet, we really have to think about our words and that this is the same internet our vulnerable teenagers will grow up with.

Right here is a link to a Wikipedia article with links and numbers to resources for help! If you or anyone around you needs help of any kind, do NOT be afraid to get it! You can do this!
The story below has the following trigger warnings! ⚠️Suicide, self harm, mental health⚠️
Hi! My name's Parker, and I've tried to commit suicide multiple times.
I know you're thinking that's a morbid and socially awkward way to introduce myself, but hey, it's a big part of my story and who I am. Don't get me wrong, there's a lot more to a person than just their mental health, but a lot of the time, these things tend not to get discussed, period. Let alone when we are trying to get to know somebody, so for today, I hope we can put that stigma aside, and I can tell you a little about my journey.
I have ADHD, and depression is something I have lived with as far back as I can remember.
By the time I was twenty, I had tried to kill myself three times, I had a family that didn't talk to me, I'd cut my arms up so much my forearms were more scar than skin, my heart was crushed by someone I thought was the love of my life, and I was hooked on anything I could get my grubby little hands on.
I think about that shit a lot, the things I did, and the decisions I made.
I think about the person I was and the person I am today.
They're wildly different people, but now that I'm able to see it from another side, I realize one can't exist without the other.
I would've never learned the things I did, and I couldn't have grown from it.
It was hell, and I had to claw those life lessons from my struggle like a damn wolverine, but hey, I survived! Despite my best efforts...
Yeah, I know that's not funny, but if you don't laugh sometimes, you'll cry, and I'm sick of crying about it.
I hated who I was, and I had a hard time coping with everything I did, not just the suicide attempts but everything.
Though I finally realized I couldn't change the past, but I could change the future.
I could get help, and I could make sure none of that ever happened again.
I can't change the past, and it aches to know that somewhere in space and time, that kid is still struggling, and I wish I could talk to him...
I don't know what I'd say to him because I know he wouldn't listen and probably just lift my wallet.
But I still want to hug him, tell him that really it's all going to be okay, that he needs to let go of a lot of shit and learn to love himself, then I'd tell him to get rid of that asshole's shitty T-shirt.
The pain you feel, it's not for nothing, but it's also not forever. You'll learn from this, and in a way you least expect it, it will come full circle.
Ease up on the drugs, stop cutting, and get yourself some help.
I know you don't think you deserve it, but you do! And believe it or not, one day you're going to have a lot of people that want and need you around.
This shit doesn't get any easier, but it does get better. You just need to let it.
So tell that jackass his band ain't shit, tell your parents they're full of shit, and tell your siblings you love them even though they all suck, hang onto your friends, don't be so scared, let yourself feel, and listen to yourself once in a while! You know yourself better than you think, and you know what you need, and guess what! The answer isn't always coke!
I can't help that kid anymore, but I can help the one's reading this, and if in this moment you feel hopeless, do me, a stranger on the internet, a favor.
Take a deep breath, know that it gets better, and reach out to somebody! You deserve help, you deserve love, and you deserve to be alive!
With love,
- Parker W.

"Mostly just participate by talking with friends online through social media, sharing content, and sometimes posting sappy posts on tumblr about them."

Many fans describe seeing MCR live as feeling like coming home. Did you experience anything like that at your show? I think this is a hard thing to answer with a simple yes. I'm gonna leave a link here to an article I wrote and published on Medium which I think answers this better than I could on this form. it also serves as an answer to the perspective on the band question. This isnt meant to be like, publicity grabbing or whatever I've literally never written anything like this, let alone put it online. I just have been frothing at the mouth while trying to figure out where to put the baggage ive been carrying in my chest cavity since the show, and publishing this article felt like the best way i could lighten the load or whatever. anyways here, read it if you like, its about me finding faith in something for the first time in my life: Newton's Article Here!
If you could change one thing about your show experience, what would it be? i wouldnt change a thing. genuinely.
What advice would you give to people seeing My Chemical Romance in the future? dont expect your eyeliner to stay put. (also arrive a few hours early for the good merch lmao)
Anything we didn't ask that you feel obliged to share or talk about? everything i could have wanted to convey about how truly dear to me this experience was is in that memoir i linked UwU
Thanks, Newton! Be sure to check out their article. Here is where else they can be found on the internet: Tumblr: @kaijumilf | Instagram: Mothr.a

COMM 1400-600
What is it about social media that sucks us in? Why do we “doom scroll” for hours knowing we have other responsibilities we should be tending to? Have you ever closed one app, opened another, then gone back to the first one 5 minutes later “just to check”? It’s not just me, right? It CAN’T be just me! Social media is an internet based worldwide phenomenon. It is nearly impossible to live in the modern world and completely avoid it. Social media is an engine of connection; a powerhouse of communication, and sometimes a one stop shop for entertainment. What qualifies as social media? Multidisciplinary platforms like Facebook, blogs, discussion boards, and other types of forums are some of the more common types. The giants like Facebook/Instagram and Twitter provide us with real time immersion into our friends lives- from what they ate for dinner to how cute their dog is to their potentially controversial political opinion. Refresh and scroll, refresh and scroll, refresh and scroll. Snapchat keeps us in touch. Tiktok provides easily digestible pieces of content algorithmically tailored to you, seemingly forever. These videos run the spectrum from comedy to tragedy, from right wing to left wing, and from superstars to your average Joe. That’s the most important part of social media in today's environment- it is accessible to anyone with an internet connection. You can be a light user or a mega-influencer; everyone has the same ability to put their content on the world wide web for literally the whole world to see. 
I would characterize myself as an average user of social media. I spend an average of 3-4 hours a day on various platforms, mainly Facebook, Tiktok and Facebook messenger. I mainly use Facebook and messenger to communicate with my family and friends and to stay involved in their lives. I use Tiktok primarily for entertainment. I enjoy watching pro-LGBTQIA+ content, political commentary and current events. I think that I have a well developed understanding of how to use these three apps. I am less familiar with Snapchat, Instagram, Tumblr and Linkedin. Luckily I have a 16 year old, so any questions I have, I just ask her! In this class I hope to learn more about these, and other, platforms. I’d like to have a working understanding of each platform. I’d like to specifically understand Snapchat better because I have a very negative perception of it currently. I think that comes from the fear of what sort of pictures can be sent since they’re automatically deleted. When you are a teenager that might be a useful feature, but when you HAVE a teenager, it becomes terrifying. I’d also like to learn how to use Linkedin to my benefit. Once I graduate with my teaching degree, I will be looking for a teaching job, and then forming professional connections locally, and perhaps nationally. Having a page for these connections where I can be my best self would probably be advantageous. 
I look forward to learning about social media and its history, and conjecturing about its future. What will happen as Generation Z ages and starts to develop their own aspiring apps? Will anything ever be able to topple the current giants? Regardless of what platforms we are using, I think that social media will continue to consume us as we consume it.
