Danny Phantom aka Batboy!

just started reading @nightingale-prompts batboy fic and iTS SO CUTE I WANNA DRAW A BABY BAT BOY!!! anyways i drew this.

this is how i imagine the scene where red robin spots batboy for the first time. Just a wip for now, idk if I’ll finish it.

It was originally going to be a still image but I was having trouble with the wings so I animated it to understand how it works better. Idk if I nailed the positioning in the end tho.

Yes that is a capri sun in his hand.

Nobody knows, but everyone knows

But they all think Danny is dead.

What if it took Danny some time to get spat back out of the portal? And I don’t mean he’s stuck in the realms, I mean it just takes some time for Danny to literately be torn apart and put back together.

So Sam and Tucker watch their friend die a painful death and race to get help when he doesn’t come out of the portal.

While they’re searching for help, Danny gets spat out and freaks out when he realizes he’s not human anymore and because there’s no one there to help him calm down, he runs away.

So Danny is sneaking around amity park as a homeless kid because he doesn’t know how to tell his parents he’s a half-ghost and everyone thinks he’s dead.

He doesn’t like to think about how good it felt when they had a funeral for him, but he’s learning how to control his ghost powers a lot faster since he’s not held back by curfew or school.

Jack and Vlad reconcile after they beg for his help to try to bring back their son, he’s reveling in how much Jack and Maddie blame themselves for his death.

Meanwhile Danny spends his time fighting ghosts and haunting the space section of the library.

He’s still a half-ghost. He still fights back all his villains.

The problem is, everyone knows Danny Phantom is Danny Fenton, they just don’t know he’s alive.

Ellie still happens but she’s an accident. They were trying to make Danny a new body and it gained sentience.

Just a fun twist on the nobody knows au. Do with this what you will

the egg prime directive is equivalent to coming across a girl sitting sad and alone in a hole in the ground where the sun never shines, she asks you weakly “hey should i maybe instead be up there with all of you?” and then instead of saying “yes sweetheart, take my hand” you just shrug and wordlessly toss her an instruction booklet on how to build a ladder with the sticks which may or may not occasionally fall into said hole in the ground. and this is supposed to be the default protocol

like how dispassionate can you be. fuck that we’re cracking those bitches and making a biiiiiiig girl omelette

YouTube secretly used AI to edit people's videos. The results could bend reality

YouTube made AI enhancements to videos without telling users or asking permission. As AI quietly mediates our world, what happens to our sha

"It turns out, he wasn't. In recent months, YouTube has secretly used artificial intelligence (AI) to tweak people's videos without letting them know or asking permission. Wrinkles in shirts seem more defined. Skin is sharper in some places and smoother in others. Pay close attention to ears, and you may notice them warp. These changes are small, barely visible without a side-by-side comparison. Yet some disturbed YouTubers say it gives their content a subtle and unwelcome AI-generated feeling.

There's a larger trend at play. A growing share of reality is pre-processed by AI before it reaches us. Eventually, the question won't be whether you can tell the difference, but whether it's eroding our ties to the world around us."

[evil-fact-checker]

1. What happened YouTube admitted it’s been running AI processing on some Shorts — sharpening, denoising, smoothing — without asking permission. Creators noticed their own faces looked subtly “off,” like they were wearing AI makeup. And the altered version is what the audience sees.

2. Why this crosses a line

Ownership: Your video is your work. Your face is your image. When YouTube silently rewrites it, they are asserting that they—not you—own how you appear on their platform.

Trust: Creators like Rick Beato and Rhett Shull rely on authenticity. If the platform itself tampers with that, it erodes the bond between creator and audience.

Consent: On your phone, you can toggle filters. On YouTube, you aren’t asked. That’s the difference between a tool you control and a platform that controls you.

Reality creep: These changes seem tiny, but they normalize the idea that media is always pre-processed. Once you accept that, the very expectation of “realness” starts to vanish.

3. Why YouTube thinks they can do this

Most people won’t notice.

Those who do notice won’t leave; there’s no real competition at YouTube’s scale.

With bigger global crises, this feels too trivial to fight. They know apathy and exhaustion keep most people quiet.

4. The deeper problem This isn’t about whether a shirt wrinkle looks sharper. It’s about power. YouTube doesn’t see itself as a neutral distributor of your work. It sees itself as the author of the experience, with full rights to “optimize” your content however it likes. Creators are just raw material. That’s why they didn’t ask: asking implies you could say no.

5. What can be done

Raise awareness. The only reason this surfaced was because creators with big audiences noticed. Keep amplifying it.

Demand control. A mandatory opt-out is the minimum. YouTube must not alter identity without consent.

Diversify. Explore Nebula, PeerTube, even Patreon-hosted video. Every bit of independence reduces monopoly leverage.

Frame the stakes. This isn’t “just a filter.” It’s a question of who owns your image, your work, your voice. If we concede that to the platform, we’ll lose the last trace of authenticity online.

6. The bottom line Google once said “Don’t be evil.” Now the motto is closer to “Don’t get caught.” They’re not testing video quality — they’re testing how much tampering people will tolerate before they resist. And if there’s no resistance, the platform’s ownership over your reality becomes the default.

you have permission to start birding without knowing anything about identifying birds

[brambleshadow11]

As someone who recently picked up birding, and have been super casual about it. I second this. I've just been enjoying looking at the birds around me and learning how to notice them more. Even if I can't identify anything, or I'm unsure because two or more species look similar, I still enjoy just.... Watching nature come and go (including while I'm working at my day job on the 4th floor in a downtown office. So many birds on the windowsills and I don't have time to identify them. Just noticed and appreciate them!)

[tinysweetnight]

Colored in a scene from my newest animatic, Minor Holiday, which uses the song Minor Holiday by Sparkbird (hence the lyrics). You can check it out on my YouTube channel which has the same handle as here. :D

To elaborate on the scene itself, it’s a shot of Locke and Calypso climbing a castle wall to sneak inside to steal a magic sword from the head god, Edison, during a festival night. Suffice to say, things will may or may not go to plan.

[sparkbirdmusic]

I checked it out on youtube and can attest that the animatic is excellent!!

[indigoisaspookyghost]

OKAY. SUN GOES DARK IS OFFICIALLY OUT. When it released on patreon I put a whole essay in a comment but I’m gonna do a more coherent one here!!! This is however just unfiltered yelling about Thing I Like though so like. MORE coherent does not mean polished

it’s definitely one of my favorites. Like, unquestionably. I happy stimmed so hard I nearly fell off the bed the first time I heard it, and I’ve been chasing family members around with headphones trying to get them to listen. I am full on GNASHING MY TEETH feral. The vocals scratch the best itch in my brain and it makes me so so so so happy!!!!! They’re so PRETTY. Like, genuinely just. Stunning. awaawaaa.

The “lay me down among the reliquaries” has to be one of my favorite lines in terms of like. It gets stuck in my head and I want to repeat it forever and I adore it. The way you can sorta hear a smile when they sing “down”?? It’s awesome!!! Their whole song is super bittersweet nostalgia feeling!!!! I am going to chew it in my teeth!!!! I get a similar feeling from the whole “day by day” to “act their age” bit

the “whOoOOo” is just SO NICE TO LISTEN TO!!!!! whOoOooO owl but like. singing.

the pitch(???) change at “And chestnuts” is so nice!

“Jingle bells” is another little part of a line that just makes me really happy

“Day by day I met each arbitrary deadline And maintained The silly charade Of a person who can act their age”

I LOVE THIS. I ADORE it. It’s one of my favorite bits of the song total. It’s awesome amazing aruhrhrh. It feels very relatable in a lot of ways. Very aplicable to many things (including masking neurodivergence!)

SO. This part of “One last time Before the mold Crept into figs and quinces I meant to rinse myself In a warm golden light

And let it sink deep Into my skin and Fold a blanket round my heart Knowing it’s hard To keep hope alive When the sun goes dark”

feels so applicable to our current state of the world, but also is one of those. I feel personally called out. Moments.

It’s very much.. like.. losing a loved one or a cherished thing, in the feeling of “I regret not doing one more/one last XYZ with them, or I regret not savoring it because then the sun went dark (they died/left/etc)”

the whole song is very very bittersweet and nostalgic and just. Aufh. It makes me feel things. I can’t relate to not wanting the summer to end (FREE ME FROM THIS SWELTERING STATE AUDHDHHD) (I’m a heat intolerant Texan) but it’s so widely applicable generally. I don’t know if it’s me projecting but it feels very much like losing someone that you thought you had more time with, and having regrets about it.

All in all I fucking LOVE this song. It’s one of my favorites and I will have this on repeat for the next like. until grievances comes out. it makes me so happy I. I’m gonna be SO ANNOYING about this, everyone who gets near me is gonna be forced to hear this- to quote @microraptorhours, it’s just gonna start playing like boss music if you go within a 4 foot radius of me.

ALSO I FINISHED MY READING AND GOT THE SONG THIS IS A WIN

[sparkbirdmusic]

This genuinely made my whole day, I feel so lucky to have a listener sharing so many thoughts about my songs, it’s an absolute gift 😭

(and good job doing your reading!!)
