Im a fanatic for space/sci fi, thrillers, suspense, high fantasy, classic horror, musicals, indie animation, cartoons and more!
I do not tolerate senseless hate, politically motivated topics, lgbt-phobia, racism, ableism, proshipping, Use Of AI or toxicity of any kind
MDNI, im not an 🔞 blog but please refrain from dms or comparing/associating my dca art with tsams
Im multifandom, which entails I'll scritch words and illustrate in my free time, these days that isn't as often as i would like. Day jobs, am I right? You'll find mostly fanarts and a couple of aus in the works- though I do have a handful of oc stuff too! :D
On the topic of aus, i have a few dca-centric ones currently in the works, so feel free to drop an ask about them or some art requests, I'd be happy to answer!

Any further questions on my TOS or anything i may need to elaborate on, dm my kofi or send an ask to my inbox here!
I engage in fandoms very little presently, due to the oversaturation of drama/controversy and dividing of fandoms, but I do enjoy the medias themselves quite a lot!

If you've read up to this far, thank you- i have a tendency to go on and on and on so it means something you took the time to read all this- but all in all, farewell on your wandering through these woods and have a great timezone!
You ever feel like a night at the grocery store couldnt possibly be all that exciting? Well not without a 7ft ball of anxiety made out of silicon and metal its not! Oh, and he needs a flashlight too- a really bright one please-
Computers are so scary what if I accidentally hit F12 in a steam game and it takes a screenshot. What if I press shift + F12 while in word and accidentally save my document 😖
If you had to learn what the F keys on your computer do through me reblogging this post, then I'm glad you did. Computer literacy is not a skill that gets taught anymore, and it is absolutely one that needs to be taught in order to be learned. Don't ever feel bad for not knowing something, but ☝️ don't ever stop learning learning about your environment, the tools you use, and especially the people around you
Was really getting in the zone with writing chapter 2 for tlwea- anddd somehow pulled a muscle a day ago that brought forth a bruise on the back of my drawing/writing hand yesterday T-T
quarterly reminder that if i reblog something ai-generated it is 110% and always an accident and for the love of god please tell me so i can delete it from my blog
Here is an article from NPR about it (May 22, 2026):
Carolina Milanesi, an independent technology analyst, said Google is trying to make its cash cow business — search — richer and more personalized, and it will make shopping easier. But there is a risk that users may have fewer choices about what to click.
"Right now it's: I ask a question, I get a bunch of answers and I feel that I'm in control as to which answer I take, or if I'm looking for something, which product I'm going to end up buying. That is going to be less so going forward," she said.
Milanesi envisions AI-enabled search and agents proposing products to consumers — perhaps even those they have requested — but with less clarity or choice around where it's coming from.
"If you're going to say: 'I want a pair of Jordans, go find them,' you're not necessarily sure what steps have been taken and whether the AI has used a source or a store that was paid for and therefore came up in the search results," she said, "or if AI actually went and did their due diligence and picked the best for me as a customer."
And here's one from Time magazine (May 20, 2026):
While Google already has “AI Mode,” the company will now power the whole search bar through its new Gemini 3.5 Flash model.
Instead of the classic list of blue links, Google Search will now also generate a custom page with an AI-generated summary of what you’re searching about, which will then trigger a conversation with AI Mode on the main page, allowing users to ask follow-up questions—similar to the kind of layout you would see when opening ChatGPT.
And a little more from Time's article on how this may affect the websites that we are trying to search for:
When Google first started implementing AI-assisted results, news publishers warned of “catastrophic” impacts on the industry, much of which relies on Google search to drive users to their websites.
Last year, news websites saw significant traffic declines as chatbots increasingly replaced Google search as the primary way to find sites and ask questions.
Small businesses also noted drops in traffic to their sites from Google, which has traditionally delivered customers.
Lily Ray, vice president of SEO strategy & research at Amsive, a digital marketing agency, warned as early as last year that Google’s planned changes to search are “going to have a devastating impact on the Internet.”
“It will severely cut into the main source of revenue for most publishers and it will disincentivize content creators who rely on organic search traffic, which is millions of websites, maybe more,” she told Technology Magazine.
