Blog Hiatus

Since uni has been kicking my ass, I'm putting everything on pause for the time being. Hopefully I'll be posting again later in the year, with the next page of manatale. Until then, I will still be answering asks and reblogging, just no art or manatale

PROLOGUE - CHAPTER 1 - CHAPTER 2 - CHAPTER 3

I've returned to my long-lost roots of making quizzes

[pollsforadults]

You get transported into the universe of the last media you consumed. How are you doing?

This is better than my real life

I'm doing well

I'm doing fine

I'm not having a good time

I'm absolutely cooked

There is nothing different about this universe and my own

this should be the most reblogged post on tumblr before it dies

[gorbling]

Im enjoying the longevity of tumblrs recontextualization style of humor. a seemingly innocuous post followed by like "posts that a gnome would make" or like "are you a phone"

Here's my contribution to the Ghost In The Machine - Lets Groove MAP! I was so happy to work with everyone and see it all come together after months of working on it and I'm so happy with how it turned out! Please check out the full MAP here, and give @ohno-the-sun lots of love for organizing it all!

Also check out my behind the scenes on youtube, along with an description of the animation below if you'd like! :>

Description: A streak of smoke descends from the top of the screen, starting off small before bursting once it hits the floor to reveal Clip illuminated in a spotlight. He sways back and forth before posing to the camera, twirling with his arms outstretched as he grins. He draws a hand down and the camera focuses on it's movement as it turns, scrunches up and glides along with the lyrics, transforming back into that streak of smoke that flows out of the frame.

The scene changes to the basement of the mill and a hanging lamp. The light flickers twice, and the smoke streak of Eclipse zigzags around the light an down, dancing as he travels from the physical space of the mill to the digital dreamscape where his smoke trail is caught in glowing ghostly hands.

Ruin looks at his clasped hands, slowly releasing his hold and Clip streaks out in. Clip's smoke circles around Ruin, who tries to follow along, before getting caught as Clip materializes behind Ruin and grasps him. Turning Ruin's face to Clip as Clip sings along to the lyrics, Clip suddenly shoves Ruin away, but is still holding onto one of Ruin's hands with his lower set of arms. Ruin's expression breaks out into a smile as he and Clip dance together. Clip leads Ruin into a twirl, disappearing behind the ghost of Ruin until only his arms are visible from around him. The two ghosts move together as Ruin extends his arms out, first one and then the other, both becoming solid and real in the form of his animatronic body, before he draws them in and hugs himself, at which point all of him becomes fixed and whole.

As a final note, Clip slumps against Ruin's back in an easy embrace and gives his head a little pat as if to say, 'good job', while Ruin beams with a smile.

The concept of being 4 months clean from ai...

idc what you guys think I'm proud of him

[astronomical-bagel]

Several AI services (chatbots 🫩) are purposely addictive, the same way people can become addicted to gambling or shopping. We’ve literally seen in real time how ChatGPT has caused psychosis and delusions in people; it can have a huge affect on someones’s mental stability. Just because it isn’t substance-based doesn’t mean that doesn’t count as an addiction, and shaming people who are trying to move on and improve themselves is counterproductive. Im proud of that dude and his 4 month mark!

Hidden Mental Health Dangers of Artificial Intelligence Chatbots

AI chatbots can fuel emotional dependence and blur boundaries. Emerging research highlights significant mental health risks. Here are import

The reality of chatbot-induced delusions

Large language models often prioritise agreeability over truthfulness to the detriment of users

AI addiction includes the overuse of AI chatbots and companions, often leading to adverse psychological effects.

Some articles to back my statements, and this isn’t even mentioning about the predatory chatbots who do this on purpose

[oh-morrow]

Then I'll mention the predatory chatbots who do it on purpose! Character.ai is one of many AI chatbot websites that're designed to be addictive.

None of the signup methods require a password. It only takes email and birthday. Minimizing time on the signin or signup screen makes it harder for people quitting to avoid relapse.

"Characters" on the website will send messages "on their own" (prompted by the site) to try to invite inactive users back after as soon as 1 day of inactivity. This is likely to force FOMO, or make users feel more like they owe the bots a response. Unhealthy attachment stuff.

Account deletion is an essential part of every service that should go smoothly, right? Right? Wrong. It takes 1-2 weeks for a Character AI account deletion to be finalized, and account deletion requests have a high chance to not go through if you're not using the app.

Rephrasing: People leaving Character.AI are pushed to download the app in order to delete their accounts, if they haven't already. This makes it harder for people to quit and stay gone. Failing to quit an addiction makes it harder to quit successfully in the future, so this feels like a feature, not a bug. On top of that, the delete account menu reads like this:

Tell me THAT doesn't sound like a bad ex. It's a carefully crafted yet hostile environment to those who are already addicted to the technology. I am so so SO happy, downright delighted that they've managed to quit, and I wish the best for others in recovery spaces or considering quitting as well!! While AI addiction is an emerging condition, there are already therapists and other mental health professionals trained to help people plan to quit and do so a bit easier. (If anyone seeing this is in need of them, there are several tumblr Communities here devoted to quitting, too. They provide a mix of advice, venting spaces, and proof that you aren't alone.)

Please stop trigger tagging with #epilepsy tw/cw/warning/etc.

I need every single person to understand how horrible tumblr’s tagging system is

I go into the tag for epilepsy and its all flashing lights. We can’t use our own tag because people without epilepsy fill it up with improper warnings.

Use ‘flashing’ in place of ‘epilepsy’ in your tags. You aren’t warning people of epileptics, you’re warning us of flashing lights. Please please tag properly. Epileptics say this endlessly and constantly and it’s ignored. You are risking lives by doing this.

Here’s proof of what I mean:

THIS POST IS 100% OKAY TO REBLOG, I ENCOURAGE PEOPLE WITHOUT EPILEPSY TO ESPECIALLY DO SO!

[demonicsymphony]

And if you’re in the notes or tags telling us to “just get a new tag”

Fuck You

Very excited to finally share some pictures of my Dread Pirate Frogerts build! I've been thinking about making this outfit for my Kermit for a while now, but the proper motivation to actually get this done was hearing that Cary Elwes was announced as a guest for my local comic convention! So with any luck Dread Pirate Frogerts will be getting to meet the real Westley very soon.

A shocking amount of work went into making this little outfit... I completely underestimated the amount of time I would need to put all this together. Though a good chunk of that was me getting way too wrapped up in perfectionism... ask me how many times I re-did the smocking on the sleeves (On second thought, don't, it's embarrassing). Here I thought I had been con-crunching with Piggy last year... technically, I only just finished Kermit today, and the convention starts Thursday. Lots of internal (and external) screaming was had with this build. I did film the majority of it, with plans to turn it into a full video and reel in the future... maybe once I've had a chance to recoup from aforementioned con-crunch.

this is so cool!!
