Cryptid Cottage AU Cretins

Read the pinned post, please! :D

[ccautwst]

Welcome!

What is CCAU about?

Cryptid Cottage AU, otherwise known as CCAU, is an AU where a group of individuals from different worlds find themselves in Twisted Wonderland and at the same time acquiring abilities to keep themselves afloat in the unknown world.

Instead of ‘Yuu’ being transported to Twisted Wonderland, a group of individuals hailing from different worlds/dimensions arrive and claim Ramshackle as their own.

Summary:

Ramshackle acquired a few strange fellows whom the students were sure didn’t attend the entrance ceremony. It’s like they just appeared out of nowhere and no one was even sure if they were human. Also, they keep talking about a ‘server hivemind’? What in the sevens do they mean by that?!

AI Scraping Isn't Just Art And Fanfic

Something I haven't really seen mentioned and I think people may want to bear in mind is that while artists are the most heavily impacted by AI visual medium scraping, it's not like the machine knows or cares to differentiate between original art and a photograph of your child.

AI visual media scrapers take everything, and that includes screengrabs, photographs, and memes. Selfies, pictures of your pets and children, pictures of your home, screengrabs of images posted to other sites -- all of the comic book imagery I've posted that I screengrabbed from digital comics, images of tweets (including the icons of peoples' faces in those tweets) and instas and screengrabs from tiktoks. I've posted x-ray images of my teeth. All of that will go into the machine.

That's why, at least I think, Midjourney wants Tumblr -- after Instagram we are potentially the most image-heavy social media site, and like Instagram we tag our content, which is metadata that the scraper can use.

So even if you aren't an artist, unless you want to Glaze every image of any kind that you post, you probably want to opt out of being scraped. I'm gonna go ahead and say we've probably already been scraped anyway, so I don't think there's a ton of point in taking down your tumblr or locking down specific images, but I mean...especially if it's stuff like pictures of children or say, a fundraising photo that involves your medical data, it maybe can't hurt.

If you do want to officially opt out, which may help if there's a class-action lawsuit later, you're going to want to go to the gear in the upper-right corner on the Tumblr desktop site, select each of your blogs from the list on the right-hand side, and scroll down to "Visibility". Select "Prevent third party sharing for [username]" to flip that bad boy on.

(If someone wants to post a link in notes to instructions for doing it on the app, I haven't updated mine so the option doesn't appear and I don't know where to find it.)

Happy New Year! [Late <3]

(art by Ghost [#/ghostlycryptid])

(also I'm really sorry if the quality is bad)

Happy New Year everyone! And yes, I'm absolutely aware I'm late but in my defense, it's only like the 1st... It's actually the 2nd rn where I live because it's around 0:30am but shhhhhhhhhhh-

Don't tell the Headmaster I'm awake (although they are a bit of a hypocrite when it comes to sleep but to be fair so am I- /hj /lh)

Anywho!

I forgot to introduce myself, whoops-

Anyways forget that and hello!

My name's Ghost, and I'm one of the many amazing members of CCAU, nice to finally meet you all! We'll see more of eachother in the future, as I plan to start posting more stuff in the future <3

I'd love to stay and chat more, but I unfortunately need to get going now, tho it was nice to finally be able to talk to all of you!

(I won't be putting my tag on this because I don't wanna- or maybe I should... We'll see in the future-)

See ya later and hope you'll all have a nice day/night and anything else

RAMSHACKLE DORM CREST

I actually had this made for an au i’m in but the design is canon Ramshackle fitting enough that I think it’s good for Ramshackle dorm residents in general so <3
