i love the idea of danny being just kind of unsettling after the portal accident

like slowly people realize somethings a little off about him. his eyes are too vibrant, shadows stretch a little too long around him. sometimes the lights flicker a bit when he walks into a room.

when he gets stressed the temperature drops a few degrees. his skin is too cold to be normal. his teeth are a little too sharp. he seems to breathe a little off, like he's faking it.

everyone brushes it off because they think it's him being the weird kid. it's totally normal for the hair on the back of your neck to stand up when he walks past. it's totally normal to feel that sort of drop in your stomach when he looks right at you. i mean, he's just a normal teenage boy. right?

Had a little help with writing today.

[gondwana]

had a dream that I met a wizard and we fell in love and became unhealthily attached to each other so we decided to meld into one single creature together but the process was horrifically slow and painful and most of the dream was us lying in bed holding hands while lesions opened up in our skin and seeped out blue and green fluid and the wizard said "this is going to take a very very long time" and I said "that's ok"

this post scratches my brain so nicely

What is this about the tumblr staff wanting to sell art data to midjourney?

An ex-colleague of mine mentioned yesterday that there may be contacts between Automattic and midjourney in that direction, but nothing is public yet and I don't have any more info. They probably won't have anything specific to share either, since they left the company weeks ago too. That being said:

I have no reason to doubt my ex-coworker word, they are a trustworthy person.

Tumblr's CEO has been absurdly enthusiastic (comically, even) about AI, and is a big fan of LLMs and 'AI' companies.

A deal with midjourney could solve tumblr financial issues (not the same company, but openAi is paying up to 5 million/year to news companies to use their content as training data... tumblr generates several orders of magnitude more content than any newspaper or any media company and it only would need a 20 to 30 million per year deal to be profitable)

So I don't have any extra info yet, but I'm keeping my ears open.

[jv]

And I just got confirmation from a second ex-colleague that a deal with midjourney has been brewing since months ago. Not any extra details, just that's a real thing.

Shit, I don't see any way for this to happen that doesn't make it an apocalyptic event the size of the porn ban. Fuck.

[jv]

Shit. This may be pure chance and coincidence, and it's not he is in a position to be able to talk about anything, but seeing prominent staff members announcing they are moving their original photography out of tumblr just two weeks ago seems a pretty significant cue of shit to be about to hit the fan.

[salora-rainriver]

Just tested. It’s possible to swap out pictures on already-published posts. So in that case, a solution:

Nightshade your photo posts now.

Even if you don’t post your own art anymore, go back to your old stuff and watermark it.

Do it ASAP, before the deal goes through and the scraping begins.

This will not only protect your art, but has the opportunity to fuck over this deal on a pretty large scale. The more of these posts that are glazed or poisoned, the less valuable this deal becomes for tumblr and midjourney.

Share this with everyone. And i do mean everyone.

[mistysblueboxstuff]

Well fuck

[mistysblueboxstuff]

Idk if there's any point in glazing and nightshading art retroactively cos the reblogged posts don't get updated when the original post does so we're just screwed i guess

Still vomiting it up, but every new day I feel a little bit more comfortable being here.

[trish-dallasandro]

Currently, about halfway done with the first chapter of my work-in-progress. Once it's complete I'll post it and I'd like some feedback. Sorry it's been taking so long.

went ahead and cut fiona out just because she was giving me such a headache to draw. I spent so much time trying to fix her, that i couldve gotten out so many pieces by now. Fiona is not GONE gone, shes just moved to another layer and hidden. maybe later i can figure something out for her??

Should I tag a sexy but not sexual fanart as NSFW???

I want my posts to generally be able to be viewed by everyone, but i might've flown too close to the sun when sketching Cake in human shape form ( see reference photo ). While I do draw NSFW for me and my GF, i genuinely don't know if what i sketched today can be posted without the tag, with the tag, or kept in my "for me" file.

Should I tag it NSFW???

Yes

No

IDK, go touch grass

This was not helpful at all 😭

[trish-dallasandro]

This is Via Stormcrow. They are another one of the main cast in my work-in-progress. All of the characters have some kind of trauma concerning religion, but Via has it the worst. As they are still heavily involved and influenced by the world's religion and will slowly find out and come to terms with its flaws and abuse of people.

Art was made using Hero Forge.
