Giving a thunder stone to your eevee be like ... Kaboom ! Yeah, pokemon again... I like pokemons but it take time to animate them.
Apparently they're selling post content to train AI now so let us be the first to say, flu nork purple too? West motor vehicle surprise hamster much! Apple neat weed very crumgible oysters in a patagonia, my hat. Very of the and some then shall we not? Much jelly.

Slay it longer for the automats in the black! *clacks*
We’re doing fever response ig 😂 We’ve detected an invader and are so determined to make it uninhabitable here we don’t care if we take the whole body down with us
Have you really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?
You've got to be kidding me. I've been further even more decided to use even go need to do look more as anyone can. Can you really be far even as decided half as much to use go wish for that? My guess is that when one really been far even as decided once to use even go want, it is then that he has really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like. It's just common sense.
They don't think it be like it is, but it do.

People used to comment on web comics.
People used to comment on fanfiction.
People used to comment on fanart.
People used to comment on OCs.
I hate "content" culture.
I hate "consuming content" and scrolling immediately to the next thing.
People used to be excited about the art that other people created.
People used to want to share that excitement with creators.
I hate this future.
Once someone tagged art that I made with "woah" and I think about it at least once a week. Someone else said "oh neat" once. Someone else WROTE A WHOLE DAMN POEM IN THE COMMENTS. Anyways even just one word can change how someone sees their art. You don't even have to think about it too hard. You could put a keyboard smash and I'd probably cry from joy.
I'm also trying hard to interact more, I understand that it's hard to break away from opening your phone and being in Content Consumption Mode.
i don't like to yuck people's yum but i have to say that my least favorite thing to come from the current state of Artists on the Internet is the idea of a sketchbook as something nice and pretty and shareable. like i love me a notebook full of gorgeous art don't get me wrong but that is NOT what a sketchbook is. a sketchbook is my friend who i carry around everywhere like a purse chihuahua. it is the physical manifestation of my notes app. it is the container into which i wring my brain out. it is my therapist. and most of all it is filled with absolutely terrible sketches that should never see the light of day.
this post is making the rounds again and the amount of people saying that the pretty sketchbooks phenomenon ruined sketchbooks for them is HEARTBREAKING and i stand by my opinion that sketchbooks should be like a jar you put your OCs in. and then you shake them around in there. that's what they're for
if tumblr does end up going down just know that if you were my mutual you can always call on me for aid in battle and i will never refuse to draw my blade for you
Mutuals can literally sound my mystical horn whenever they require my aid.
One of the best writing advice I have gotten in all the months I have been writing is "if you can't go anywhere from a sentence, the problem isn't in you, it's in the last sentence." and I'm mad because it works so well and barely anyone talks about it. If you're stuck at a line, go back. Backspace those last two lines and write it from another angle or take it to some other route. You're stuck because you thought up to that exact sentence and nothing after that. Well, delete that sentence, make your brain think because the dead end is gone. It has worked wonders for me for so long it's unreal
if AI were made ethically and wasn't being used to replace people's jobs in an already suffering economy and also being hailed by a weird cult of techbros because they have forgotten the value of the arts...maybe artists wouldn't be so pissed off. I saw this bullshit coming when dall-e was a thing and I'm so upset I was right...
I've said it before and I'll say it again: If you do not value something, you do not deserve to have it. That includes the arts and all forms of entertainment as well. Period.

ATTENTION ARTISTS OF TUMBLR
since tumblr is going to start scraping blogs to train ai be sure to glaze and nightshade your art!! Not only will both of these programs protect your art from being copied but nightshade also poisons any ai that tries to steal it
here is some more info on these tools and where you can download them:

Hi, Tumblr. It’s Tumblr. We’re working on some things that we want to share with you.
AI companies are acquiring content across the internet for a variety of purposes in all sorts of ways. There are currently very few regulations giving individuals control over how their content is used by AI platforms. Proposed regulations around the world, like the European Union’s AI Act, would give individuals more control over whether and how their content is utilized by this emerging technology. We support this right regardless of geographic location, so we’re releasing a toggle to opt out of sharing content from your public blogs with third parties, including AI platforms that use this content for model training. We’re also working with partners to ensure you have as much control as possible regarding what content is used.
Here are the important details:
We already discourage AI crawlers from gathering content from Tumblr and will continue to do so, save for those with which we partner.
We want to represent all of you on Tumblr and ensure that protections are in place for how your content is used. We are committed to making sure our partners respect those decisions.
To opt out of sharing your public blogs’ content with third parties, visit each of your public blogs’ blog settings via the web interface and toggle on the “Prevent third-party sharing” option.
For instructions on how to opt out using the latest version of the app, please visit this Help Center doc.
Please note: If you’ve already chosen to discourage search crawling of your blog in your settings, we’ve automatically enabled the “Prevent third-party sharing” option.
If you have concerns, please read through the Help Center doc linked above and contact us via Support if you still have questions.
This is nice and all but...my trust is completely broken at this point, sorry. The fact that AI nonsense is opt-out instead of opt-in just shows a massive disregard for people's intellectual property, their hard work, and their privacy.
I'm pretty much done with Tumblr. If you want to find me, try BlueSky, Ko-Fi, Pillowfort, and Inkblot.
hey, everybody go into your blog settings right now, go to Visibility, and click prevent third party sharing. Do it for all your blogs.
The fact tumblr is partnering with AI companies fucking blows but at least (at the very fucking least!) we can opt out.

Nuked my art sideblog. I hadn't updated it in forever, anyway, and it only had like 2 dozen followers.
Still debating what to do with my main account, though I did request a backup for export. We'll see how long that takes to be available, I guess.
I think the only thing I know for sure at this point is that all of us making art need to be using either Glaze or Nightshade, and making sure that what we post is LOW RES QUALITY. If it looks kinda grainy, oh well. It's better than having it be useful AI scrape fodder.
Welp. I guess I'm moving my art off of here, too.
you can thank tumblr buddying up with midjourney for that. :(
