Whatever. GO MY PINNED POST

📌📌📌📌📌📌📌📌📌

Hey, thanks for being here, come on in. Please wipe your shoes on the mat, and by wipe your shoes, I mean:

Leave the art where it belongs. Please do not repost, modify, commodify, feed AI, or otherwise abuse my art. Likes, reblogs, and comments are of course fine.

That's it lol

Other things of note:

My commissions are currently closed!

Older art is signed with "nineteen-goblins on tumblr" because that used to be my url. I changed it to leatherbacksiren to match my bsky and AO3 accounts.

My rambly posts will still be tagged with "missives from the goblin scouts," so block that tag if you don't want to hear from me and just want to see the art!

Thanks again for stopping by! See ya around, space cowboy... 🥀

Chapter 3 of my butch farmer x Sebastian fic is uuuuuuuuuuuup have at ye

An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

chapter 4 will be up soon-ish. i've actually been sitting on 9 chapters for a bit now—I started writing this fic in february but only had one chapter up for ages because every time I would go to upload the next one, AO3 would be down, and then i just kind of forgot about it until recently lol—but i'm not gonna go posting them all at once because this fic is so plot-heavy, i keep anxiously going back and re-reading and tweaking things so events line up properly. apologies, my brain is out of my control.

thanks for reading!

Re: miss jpeg meowing a bunch after going to the bathroom. Dont super quote me, but iirc cats (and dogs) will sometimes vocalize post bathroom bc theyre telling you theyre okay!!! It means she wants you to not worry about her- since going to the bathroom animals are really vulnerable. Its like “okie dokie! Im free!”

THAT'S SO FUCKIN FUNNY

we're overdue for a reactive wave of anti-cozy games. animal crossing but office workers. restaurant management but applebee's. farming sim but all spreadsheets. never see an ear of corn the whole game

sometimes i see an opinion i disagree with, and from a combination of wanting to keep up appearances, avoid flak, and cut to the heart of the issue, i draft a series of increasingly abstract responses, eventually culminating in typing out "falsehoods aren't true", which, in a perfect act of autofellatio, deletes itself

The thing that really makes me sad and embarrassed for all the people who use AI to create their art, their essays, their emails, etc. is that if they generate something that is wrong, they don't have the skill to be able to tell.

I really dislike when people try to claim AI is bad by glorifying labor. It's not that I disagree; I just think it's a moot persuasion tactic. There is no point in trying to convince someone whose only concern is getting a completed product as fast as possible that the process of creating the product is important. They do not care. I think that, if anyone using AI should be concerned about anything, it's the fact that when—not if, but when, because mistakes in all things are inevitable—their AI gives them a product that is factually incorrect, sloppy, or just "off," they will never be able to tell. They can stare at the rendered picture for hours, read over the generated emails a hundred times, and never understand what's wrong with them.

I think about the person who traced over an AI-generated reference of a person holding a gun, the finished piece featuring a gun with a muzzle on the back, barrel facing the shooter. I think about the person who cost their company thousands of dollars because they had AI crunch their numbers. I think about the person who wanted to make a video game and asked AI to create the code, but didn't what to do when the code wouldn't work.

I stand by the claim that people use AI to make things for themselves because they are insecure. I understand the want to have a product that looks professional because you think anything created by your own hands won't be good enough or taken seriously. And I will tell you right now that if you think the shame of creating something "amateur" is bad, it is nothing compared to the complete mortification of finding out that something you put out under your own name that you thought was high quality was riddled with laughable errors that everyone noticed except you.

So pick up the pencil. It's easy to stand by your work when it was created through a series of your own, purposeful choices. But I will tell you now that there is no glory in the labor; there is only the satisfaction that comes with understanding what you're doing.

yeah, so uh... my first stream went well! except i 1) forgot to advertise it here, 2) forgot to record it through obs, and 3) accidentally deleted the VOD while trying to download it. ahaha... anyway, if hanging out with me while i play morrowind with no context of how the first 3 hours of playthrough went sounds like a good time to you, i'd love to see you in chat at 1pm EST today! my plan is to try to stream every wednesday at that time, hopefully more often. see you then!

thought about tomodachi life too hard and realized that people being shocked by the lack of filters in a single-player game they own with their own money is actually cartoonishly messed up. we've grown so used to everything being filtered and not being able to do anything even remotely un-family-friendly in single-player games that bring able to make the miis say fuck is a monumental occasion. insane.
