I'm Lunar or Rain (or literally anything as long as I know you are talking to me) and I use all pronouns and maybe even neos(as a treat) :P
I mostly just post my thoughts, in what form? You may ask and the answer is yes, analysis posts, a sentence, fics, CMV's, ect.
I listen to music, so I often post about...music (shocking I know). I love absolutely love over analyzing lyrics and musical tropes.
Currently I'm having many thoughts about:
Fable smp, sherbertverse, my OC'S (I would love to yap about them if y'all want), arcane, mer smp, bound smp, spider-verse, REDSHIFT STATION RARARR, hermitcraft, Hilda, Yaelokre, whitepine, Rapunzels tangled adventure (varian my beloved), dnd and dnd related activities, ONESHOT (that game is criminally underrated), the crane wives, NEXT TO NORMAL, the Salem witch trials, other things that I can't remember...
My asks are open so feel free to ask what ever you whatever, I'll do my best to answer them :3
Long story short I'm a silly guy and will post silly guy things sometimes
anyone else wonder how Grace learned different Eridian accents...like he understood Rocky by the end of the film but that probably took at least a year so imagine his surprise when he can't understand ANYONE ELSE
I've made it my mission to be known by everyone on Tumblr. And I mean EVERYONE. No account will go without this post, I want to make it to the dead poets society fandom all the way to the ninjago fandom. Everyone will reblog this, and if they don't I will die a failure.
i'm begging you guys to start pirating shit from streaming platforms. there are so many websites where you can stream that shit for free, here's a quick HOW TO:
1) Search for: watch TITLE OF WORK free online
2) Scroll to the bottom of results. Click any of the "Complaint" links
3) You will be taken to a long list of links that were removed for copyright infringement. Use the 'find' function to search for the name of the show/movie you were originally searching for. You will get something like this (specifics removed because if you love an illegal streaming site you don't post its url on social media)
4) each of these links is to a website where you can stream shit for free. go to the individual websites and search for your show/movie. you might have to copy-paste a few before you find exactly what you're looking, but the whole process only takes a minute. the speed/quality is usually the same as on netflix/whatever, and they even have subtitles! (make sure to use an adblocker though, these sites are funded by annoying popups)
In conclusion, if you do this often enough you will start recognizing the most dependable websites, and you can just bookmark those instead. (note: this is completely separate from torrenting, which is also a beautiful thing but requires different software and a vpn)
you can also download the media in question (look for a "download" button built into the video window, or use a browser extension such as Video DownloadHelper.)
Option 1: try the DuckDuckGo search engine instead (bonus: dedicated to privacy! doesn't track your data!)
Option 2: go directly to LumenDatabase.org (the website that collects the complaints--and therefore the removed links) and search for the title you want. look for results titled "DMCA (Copyright) Complaint to Google" featuring the media you're looking for. Proceed to Step 3 (above).
personally, i'm a huge fan of r/FREEMEDIAHECKYEAH. they keep their links up to date and they also rank them, basically. they also have all kinds of little pages explaining how to safely pirate shit.
THINGS I NOTICED/HEADCANONS IN THE NEWEST TADC EP!!!
[SPOILERS. OBVIOUSLY SPOILERS.]
-Bubble is weird? Like Cain messed with them or something because they were unable or didn't want to swear, which clearly they've never cared about before, and Cain applauded them for not swearing
-THOSE DAMN FISH. WHAT AER THOSE. I kinda love them tho
-there is a strange comfort in abstracting? This was the first time we've seen jax genuinely smile. He often smiles sarcastically but the smile when he was about to abstract was subtle but he was genuinely at peace
-Jax probably has some kind of survivors guilt, from the footage of his memory that we saw there was a car on a dark road and they probably crashed. He definitely blames himself (whether or not he was really at fault) and doesn't want to go back to the real world so that he doesn't have to face that guilt
-Kinger seems to thrive in darkness, like he tends to lose his memory to an extent when in direct light, every truly emotional scene with him is in dark/dim lighting, and he is constantly in a dark pillow fort. And this episode we can see him be startled and forgetful immediately after being in the light. I think this could mean a lot of things but I kinda feel like it's something like Cain can see where there is light so he feels safer in the dark where he can't be watched by Cain as easily??(Maybe I'm totally misreading this)
-Abel was acting weird the whole time, like I know he was an NPC but Ragatha and Pomni were talking at full volume right behind him as if he couldn't hear, and he didn't bat an eye. He felt too much like a quest giver for my liking and I'm surprised no one really caught on. It's also really weird that Cain would name him Abel....
-This adventure felt too real for Cain. The world building and subtlety of this adventure were far too good for Cain, this is the same man that put them into 'here are some guns. Have fun!' There was too much detail and logic in this adventure, I think part (or all) of it was based in reality because Cain very clearly lacks the creativity to put that much thought into each and every section of the adventure
-I feel like abstraction happens when Cain messes with their minds so much that they start losing their sense of self? Because as Jax gets closer to abstraction we really see his personality change and him becoming very numb, and kingers comment about the first abstraction being caused by messing with someone's mind too much at once
-I think Cain can alter their minds much more than he is telling them. He has so much power over them already and "just temporary minor changes for the sake of adventures" really does not seem like the end of it, which he says. But I think the small effects start to build up or something which is what ultimately leads to abstraction, and Cain knows that
-this adventure was strategic from Cain...maybe. he made an adventure about escaping so if they ever find a way out they'll think it's an adventure again or at least be very suspicious of it so Cain has the chance to find them before they can get out.
Tldr; this episode was wreeeeird and there is a lot to unpack
Update: the more I think about this the more it doesn't really feel like an adventure. It really feels like he might have just made it seem an adventure once he found them in his office and that they may have genuinely been able to escape....
Apparently this is a thing that still needs to be said in this fandom space but in case my stance wasn’t made abundantly clear by all the other times myself and everyone I know has needed to say it: fuck AI.
The fact that people who claim to be fans of Fable, Bound, WW, or any other tangential SMPs, streams, podcasts or writings by the surrounding group of creators, are cruel enough and comfortable enough to feed the faces, voices, ideas, art and writing of those artists and creatives into a AI scraping sites is so disappointing and honestly a little sickening.
I don’t know a single artist or content creator who isn’t vehemently against this kind of disgusting character and generative AI training. And by engaging with it you are actively placing yourself against them. I could scream about how disgusting AI is until the cows come home but at the end of the day if those arguments haven’t convinced you already me regurgitating it isn’t going to, and there are other people who can say it better than I can.
Not only are you denying yourself the ability to engage with media creatively and stifling your own imagination, but by training and engaging with character AIs and generative AI art based on fandoms and fan work works you are actively ripping apart and destroying the work you claim to be a fan of.
I hope the weight of guilt on your shoulders increases with every prompt you give it. I’d say cry me a river of tears but we all know the AI companies would use use it cool their data centres anyway.
Everything that Connor said here is absolutely true. But I have another point to add to it.
Not only are you disrespecting the creators, actively destroying the work you claim to love AND the environment in the process;
You will never get the same satisfaction from engaging with generative AI that you do from consuming the original source and creating something yourself because of it.
It is empty. There is nothing there.
I promise you; you will find so much more fulfillment from engaging with other community members than you will from a machine.
Regular Reminder (since we apparently have to fucking give those) IF YOU USE AI CHATBOTS FOR BOUND SMP OR FABLE SMP, YOU ARE ACTIVELY VIOLATING THE BOUNDARIES OF THE CREATORS OF THOSE SMPS AS WELL AS COPYRIGHT!!! SCRAPING IS NOT FAIR USE, IT IS THEFT OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY!!! WHAT THE FUCK, CUT IT OUT!
I won't even be nice about it at this point, the cast of both SMPs have stated multiple times that they do not consent to this. It's even worse if you additionally decide to steal art from fanartists, or the cosplays and LITERAL FUCKING FACES of people!!! These boundaries have been made clear multiple times, so you are actively chosing to violate them if you are still doing this. And you are additionally helping damage our planet and climate, to add even more insult to injury.
Apprantly some losers are using AI in Fable/Bound????
Really?
You want to see the character's do something, go draw fanart, go write fanfiction, go cosplay the character!
Go put your blood, sweat and tears into the art form like the rest of us!
"Oh, but i cant draw-" Yeah!? Well neither can I, but I picked up a camera and make-up to make my visions come to life! I put hours of work into making something! I didnt use fucking AI, I found another way!
And using AI is a total disrespect to the cast who are very openly against it and to the art what they do in general!
Fuck AI!! Go pick up a pencil, a stylus, a camera, whatever and make the content YOURSELF
I genuinely cannot believe that people in fandom spaces think it's okay to create AI chat bots of characters (or generate any content with characters they did not create) without explicit permission from the person(s) who made the character.
Appreciate artists in your community. Don't go crawling to AI for content.
