The Blaze Boyz

Considered a terrorist gang by the Katēnzu Department of Justice, The Brotherhood of the Blaze serves as one of 10 LGBTQ Organizations within the Tsefōme Democratic Front.

They are tasked with protecting Tsefōme City's LGBTQ Population.

Their membership is entirely Queer Men. They are made up of primarily 4 ethnic groups, Kaswazi, Katēnzu, West Saxon, and Etrusco. Their official language is Faswazi.

Members of the Blaze Boyz have been blessed by the Fire Spirit Biloyōti who has given them pyrokinetic powers through a process known as Awakening. Every Blaze Boy experiences awakening before joining the organization.

Blaze Boyz participate in the TDF through joining specific tribes. Each tribe is dedicated to a vocation necessary to serve the community and replace the services provided by (or neglected by) the state and private interest.

Blaze Boyz practice free love and tend to be polyamorous (though not all of them). They often live in groups known as Ugama (Sets). There's two types of Ugama: Jasgama (Group of up to 6) and Ujaogama (Group of 7 to 12).

Portrait of a young plus-sized Black man, stocky and powerfully built, short tight curls, light scruffy facial hair, faint chest hair; his expression quiet, burdened yet hopeful. He wears a kente-patterned toga robe draped across one shoulder, the weave re-imagined in cool tones of teal, indigo, and silver, threads faintly luminous in the sunlight. His skin glows with a soft sheen of sweat under a humid, warm climate; behind him, a sun-bleached coastal town with clay walls and palm-shadowed courtyards. Painterly manga realism with crisp lines, diffused light, subtle film-grain texture. --ar 3:4 --niji 6 --stylize 500 --profile oj1c4pu

I've been gone for a while. I've been struggling for a while with my relationship with AI, but have learned to make some peace with it.

Somethings I am going to do with my posts going forward is sharing my entire prompts along with the images I post.

I think A) you deserve to know how I make these, B) you should be able to use the prompts to make your own, and C) you should understand the degree to which randomness IS a part of the appeal for me.

All images I post are free to use for your projects, profile pictures, wallpapers, etc.

One more thing... I'm not interested in the AI Art is theft conversation... as an opponent to Intellectual Property (IP)... it's an argument we will never see eye to eye on. I don't care if you think I'm a real Artist or nah... as my artform is worldbuilding and conlanging... I can't draw and I don't want to. Midjourney does for me, what I can't do for myself so that I can better visualize and brainstorm. You don't have to approve or even like that choice.

Good Riddance to the Evangelist of Child Abuse. Remember folks, you were not a bad kid, no one had the right to lay hands on you, and you are worthy of love regardless of sexuality and gender identity.

Image created in Midjourney + Video made in Fal.ai

Very interesting results. Fal does video better than Midjourney solely on the principle that it gets them to kiss as oppose to some strange movement

[kinglucasmasalla]

Considerably less spooky than my last post😛🥵

[kinglucasmasalla]

Suffice it to say... I am greatly disturbed at this fascimile. Beloveds, this was made with Midjourney. Too Spooky

[kinglucasmasalla]

Video version is less perfect, but not horrible

[kinglucasmasalla]

I haven't had one come out this perfect in a very long time

Midjourney has released it's first video model. It is limited, but competent.

you dont need to be an expert to know that this isnt how this fucking works. Disney does not go up to a judge and say "id like to expand copyright law please!"

The outcomes of lawsuits set legal precedent, which is then applied to future cases. Like this is such a basic fact of the legal system in the US! And this post is whining about "misinformation" like are you fucking kidding me.

"two large companies" and it's a regular company with a discord bot vs. the megacorporation that owns half of the USA's pop culture

[argumate]

this is a technicality but important I think: it does not create exact copies of any content owned by Disney, right? like it can create very very realistic impressions of characters from Disney movies, images that look like they could be made by Disney, but nothing it outputs is identical on a pixel level, is it? it's still fan art, just really good fan art.

midjourney is so small they can get away with not having customer service

people hear about the size of data centers and assume midjourney requires that level of power rather than a tiny fraction of it
