I made a ko-fi!

I know I don’t have a big following, or I am an author with that many readers, but it cannot hurt having it, right?

For now, I don’t have plans of commissions or anything (as far as I know, no one is interested anyways) this is just to help me out if you want, no pressure. 

[chibird]

Oops it’s me. 😅 There is some joy in planning and acquiring materials for your hobbies, but it does get out of hand sometimes…

Booktok controversy that's broken containment: a writer told one of her friends the concept for a book, and he took that concept and AI-generated a book based on it and then gifted to her like 'there you go, sweetie, you're welcome ;)'

BRO WHAT.

[azzandra]

OMG, I'm watching a video about this, and it's even weirder. That wasn't even a friend, it was a rando who saw her tiktok talking about the concept and randomly emails her this AI-generated book. That's even weirder.

[cat-she]

And then when she says she doesn't like it, and several NYT BESTSELLING AUTHORS who all happen to be women all explain to him why he's in the wrong, he talks down to them and doubles and triples and quadruples down. But then the moment the woman's husband gets involved, he immediately apologizes to "him and his wife." Just breathtaking levels of misogyny.

[azzandra]

He wanted credit SO HARD for doing basically NOTHING. Worse than nothing! He wanted headpats so hard that when she ignored his email he hounded her to respond publicly.

He's like a microcosm of everything that's wrong with people who use AI to generate stories.

[cat-she]

He was talking about releasing the shit he generated with the idea he STOLE FROM HER for free if she continued not responding to him, and then acted like she was being insane when she clarified that she didn't respond on purpose 😭😭😭 What goes through these people's heads!!!!!!!!!

[azzandra]

Something profoundly wrong with this dude and yet he's incapable of noticing.

[wizardarchetypes]

every time i post about polyamory and defending it someone adds that dumbass fucking article clip that's like "more and more i have to defend people i think are annoying against people i know are dangerous."

why are you calling me annoying on a post defending my right to simply exist?

why do you think poly people are like, an 'acceptable' class of ppl to just mock even on posts by a poly person talking about biases against poly people?? and so much of the mocking is coming from other queer ppl! jsyk the majority who thinks polyamory is a disgusting perversion think the same thing about your monogamous gay relationship!

i make a post like 'it's fucked up that people judge me and make entire presumptions about my personality and life and morality based on the relationships i'm in' and you're like 'true they shouldn't do that. however you are annoying. which i know based on the relationships you're in''

i'm annoying???? what is wrong with you? and nvm that so many 'jokes' about poly ppl are actually just making fun of fat and disabled people. i am so fed up. how are you going to reblog a post to 'support' poly people and insult poly people in the tags???

say something nice or shut up. no one asked you to reblog my post.

Overlock Stitch by @clothes_reetzy

[thatisuseful]

Damn, that's useful

[fluidstatick]

Finally a hand sewing tutorial on a hemline that isn't just the ladder stitch! the ladder stitch disappears when you tighten it, but it's not meant for hemlines because it breaks really easily! The overlock stitch is more stable, so it holds much longer, and it won't pucker or warp the fabric!

Annabelle belongs to @thwarp

I had been obsessed with this au and this character, but I had been sending so many asks and giving ideas I am starting to feel guilty with the work I am giving the OG artists. (You can see how Ragatha is my favorite.)

So instead of asking how would Annabelle look in a bikini, I decided to take up the challenge despite not drawing in years and being rusty.

I am used to the sketch in paper, and originally I was going to publish it like that, but then I remembered this colouring technique that lets you keep the paper texture and I decided to try it.

BONUS under the cut (Still on graphite because I am lazy.)

Zooble: You are sooo close to getting it!

Zooble has been waiting since Spudsy's for these lesbians to get their shit together, so they are about to push those two into the tent if that's what it takes to make them talk.

Not what is not on the page is Kinger looking proudly ar Ragatha "Baby's first conjuring!" While Pomni is like "What?"

I tried to make the butterflies with the lesbian flag; because I fucked up the process, any white I put below the "lineart" just looks the same as the rest of the page, and I didn't want to put it on top of the lineart.

Also the bracelets Annabelle carry are friendship bracelets she did with Zooble and Ragatha, because she may had slip up she didn't have the chance to have sleepovers with the girls growing up, and Ragatha decided to correct things.

That's it! Hope you guys like it!

when i was a kid i had moments of being so fucking diabolical because i realized at some point the best way to leverage power over my family was to do shit that would make everybody late

[eraserheadadult]

our house was in the middle of nowhere surrounded by woods so when i decided i didnt want to wear dresses anymore if we were going to some event & my parents insisted i had to wear a dress i would just go hide in the woods. was so committed i almost made us miss a flight once bc my mom packed a dress in my suitcase

i only promised to stop doing this if my parents got me formal boys clothes to wear which eventually they did. i don't feel bad about resorting to violence bc i asked politely and they said no. proud of 10 yr old me for evil annoying lesbian behavior

[the-prophesied-disco-gay]

5th grade was the last time I wore a dress for school pictures. When my parents attempted to force the issue for 6th grade, I climbed onto our roof and pulled the ladder up after me. My dad borrowed the neighbors ladder. As soon as it touched the roof I pulled it up too. By the time I had 3 ladders they were willing to negotiate, and 2 hours late for work.

let’s be real the pressure to use AI as an adult is exactly what they said the pressure the do drugs as a teenager would be like but the people that told us that caved immediately for the AI and definitely did not just say no

[prokopetz]

Stephen King rightly gets a lot of shit for frequently having his characters think and speak in pop culture references that only make sense if you spent your formative years in 1970s Maine, but I feel like articulating that particular criticism on Tumblr is something of a glass-houses situation.

[prokopetz]

Like, yeah, King will have literal space aliens making pop culture references that only old men from small-town Maine would plausibly make; however, I have seen the kinds of novels that people who spent their twenties on Tumblr write, and there is also a very definite sense of time and place.
