Minecraft Movie made me emotional
alright I've got to do some quick math to explain attitudes towards AI to my boss.
we're looking to create an AI policy, and when we were talking about this, my boss (older millennial) was genuinely shocked to hear that younger people do not (seem) to view AI positively (a la the recent commencement speakers being booed)
please rb for larger sample size!
Question 1/3
What is your age, and do you feel AI is a net positive or net negative in our lives today?
under 18, AI is a net positive
under 18, AI is a net negative
18-29, AI is a net positive
18-29, AI is a net negative
30-45, AI is a net positive
30-45, AI is a net negative
46-60, AI is a net positive
46-60, AI is a net negative
over 60, AI is a net postive
over 60, AI is a net negative
Question 2/3
How often do you visit or interact with museums/archives (whether in person or online)?
Frequently (multiple times per month)
Often (multiple times per year)
Occasionally (a couple times per year)
Rarely (once every couple of years)
Never :(
Question 3/3
If you saw a museum was using AI in exhibits, marketing, research, etc., would you be more or less inclined to visit that museum?
under 18, more inclined
under 18, less inclined
18-29, more inclined
18-29, less inclined
30-45, more inclined
30-45, less inclined
46-60, more inclined
46-60, less inclined
over 60, more inclined
over 60, less inclined
Thank you for helping with this data collection. Please rb for as big a sample as possible!
Edit: AI here is referring to generative AI, rather than closed models or custom made LLMs trained on internal datasets
Edit" "tumblr is not the best place to do data collection" "most biased sample group" yup. cool. good.

This poll hasn't even been active for 24 hours yet. I am so obsessed with it. I made a spreadsheet about it. And I look forward to adding the final results once it has closed.
There's a lot of "sample bias" feedback and although you're not wrong, I would challenge anyone to find a platform or sample source without that bias in either direction and an even bigger challenge would be finding literally anything else that over 97% of responders agree about.
I don't think over 40k of us can be so easily dismissed and companies and marketers would be choosing their own bias to ignore the market with its very loud feedback.

closer shots of the force tree under cut
I don't have time for tumblr discourse they're calling the very hungry caterpillar degenerate art over on twitter
good art is when something looks like real life, the more real it looks the more better the art. abstracted figures give my trad children nightmares, one time they were exposed to cubism and couldn't go outside for a week
Huh fascinating, I wonder what the fash have against Eric Carle? I wonder what he might have said about his life, and influences, and early experiences that makes them say heās part of an āinsalubrious cultureā?
Franz Marc (1880-1916) was a German painter and printmaker, one of the key figures of the German Expressionist movement.
incredibly low effort do2 slabtek comic...
lil bit of context: i like the headcanon that in the beginning of do2 they weren't yet in any sort of official "relationship". it started developing closer to the middle and end of do2 and in season10. this applies to my previous art too. (mostly bc that's when i got into slabtek. super self indulgent haha ya <3)
why is pjackk back unbanned?
š¬ 1Ā Ā š 0Ā Ā ā¤ļø 60Ā Ā·Ā reference post about the "phantom report bug"Ā Ā·Ā this post is not rebloggable because i need to be able to update it and ed
^^^ i spent all night and yesterday compiling information about a "phantom report bug", where people are getting emails from tumblr support about TOS reports they did not file. pjackk was banned off one of these phantom reports, i told tumblr support about it, and now he's unbanned. i think @garaks-padded-bra was also banned erroneously off a phantom report, so hopefully that will get reversed soon as well
PLEASE CHECK YOUR EMAIL FOR PHANTOM REPORT EMAILS. if you spot any, even if theyre old, tell me about them so i can add them to the list (linked above), and report them to tumblr support. POLITELY. tumblr support wants to fix this.
did a doodle to get my mind straight
Volorisu belongs to @squidzoomy Y'all should check out the fic, it's over here: https://archiveofourown.org/works/68541336/chapters/177443106
ANOTHER BANGER YET AGAIN, They just donāt miss!!
I'm loving the discussions about the role and purpose of fandom, as well and what activities are needed to keep fandoms alive and flourishing!
However... as a fandom creator (writer and artist), I sometimes feel like too much pressure is concentrated on creators. I don't know if this is a frustration others share? Not only should we keep making things, but somehow we also end up becoming these central fandom figures who can feel pressured into responding to comments (or else we're called arrogant or ungrateful), making friends (or else we're rude for ignoring well-meaning people who reach out), and being the drivers and pillars of that community (running events, responding to memes, etc. ā and everything falls silent if we stop). It's a lot of work!! I don't always have the time and energy to make things for fun and then also engage in all the ways people might sometimes feel entitled to because they enjoy my works.
I really wish that more "non-creating" fans in the community would discover their fandom power!! and not just rely on the visible "producing" creators to be the only people worth engaging with. It takes nothing more than passion to write a meta-post about a character or a plot point, or to create an ask game, or to DM someone else who you see posting funny tags ā not just the creator! Maybe your followers have other tips for evening out the balance a little more?
Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this, anon. This is an observation I've seen in many parts of life, not just fandom.
A lot of people feel as though they need permission or an invitation of some sort in order to contribute. That's why I always end my answers by asking people to share their thoughts. I want to make it explicitly clear that I want people to add things into the reblogs (which I can then share out for more people to see) and the replies (which people can at least read even if I can't reblog).
I have heard fans who are readers but don't write fic say that they think they can't get an AO3 account unless they plan to post something. This is incorrect, of course, but a lot of people make that assumption.
I think at least some people (I don't know what kind of percentage) assume that someone who is writing fic or posting art or making podfics and video edits etc. has some sort of expertise that "allows" them to post.
People with less confidence or with less practice etc. sometimes need an extra nudge before they realize that they're welcome to contribute too. If that's the case for you, please allow me to say:
You are welcome to post in your fandom, even if no one invites you to. Even if you think you're not good enough. Even if your idea isn't "popular."
Start a conversation. Share a thought. Talk to folks who reblog cool shit. Be a folk who reblogs cool shit. You don't have to do everything in order to do something.
As mentioned above, please do share your thoughts in the reblogs and replies to keep the conversation going.
Other things people can do:
make a rec list
make a "here's all the fics I've found in this fandom with this one trope/general vibe/very particular setup I just think is Neat" list
make a "welcome to the fandom, here's the fics that people will just assume you've read/know about to get you started" list
make a "if you liked [popular fic A] you might enjoy [less well known fics B through N]" list
More things you can do!
Create whumps lists
Create lists of shippy moments
Make screenshot collections
Record and post clips of your show to get more people into your fandom
Make incorrect quote memes
Make silly little TikTok-style edits of your favs
Make character playlists
Figure out the layout of buildings/cities
Recreate those building in the Sims or with an online floor planner or even just draw it out because holy hell writers will be so thankful for that
Make your blorbo in various video game character creations
Build a pokemon team for your blorbo
Make up silly headcanons! What does everyone do at the fair or the beach or during a fire drill?
Outline a fic idea you have ā maybe you donāt have the time or energy or you just donāt feel confident enough to create it, but share it anyway!
Create outfits based on your blorboās design or outfits they would wear
There are so many ways you can engage with fandom that arenāt making fanart or writing fanfics. Fandom is community - Please donāt be afraid to join in!
(I've been on tumblr for 15 years, far longer than I was ever on twitter, but I've never engaged much beyond reblogging so please pardon how many times I reference fandom activities I witnessed on twitter)
Collect interviews with the author, producer, director, mangaka etc
Similarly, translate interviews
I remember someone in the haikyuu!! fandom kept a twt thread of every time two characters were in the same panel. Not sure what the tumblr equivalent would be. I guess just a regular old post with lots of additions? (Send help; i'm not sure why my brain is struggling so badly to translate twitter threads to tumblr posts)
Run a quote bot account: I'm not sure of the status of quote bots in a post twitter era, but those were quite fun. Again an example from the hq!! fandom, there was the hq!! bastille bot which would spit out a bastille lyric + a ship. The siken bot would spit out a line of poetry + a ship name. On tumblr maybe the equivalent would be a gimmick blog?
Run a ship/character week. I think these are probably the easiest kind of fandom event to run. it doesn't take more than one person, a blog, and rudimentary graphics skills.
Are socmed AUs still a thing?
Make gifs
Try to figure out the layers to a character's outfit and share your studies with the world. (I'm looking directly at you, Hoyoverse and all you're what-even-is-that how-do-they-even-put-that-on character design. beautiful, but confusing)
Update fandom wikis
Log fandom history on fanlore.org (another project run by the Organization for Transformative Works, aka the parent of ao3)
Volunteer for the Organization for Transformative Works/ao3
Fandom wikis!! One thousand blessings upon everyone who maintains fandom wikis, oh my god.
Some suggestions:
Transcribe episodes for film/audio canons
Podfic! We can always use more podfic, and most people's phones have a voice recorder.
Create bingo sheets (e.g. make a fanwork with five or more of these tropes for a bingo; read/reblog fanworks in five or more of these categories for a bingo)
Be a Your Blorbo expert consultant! If I'm writing about a character I don't have strong feelings about, but I know one of my friends is constantly reblogging and posting about them, even if it's all silly memes and "character <3"-type posting, I'll sometimes reach out to them for advice on if I'm getting Their Blorbo right. It's absolutely invaluable and I appreciate these people so much.
We are all just enthusiastic nerds on the internet. You have as much right to share your enthusiasm as anyone. One of the things I love about tumblr as a platform is that you can just start saying whatever about something you like, and you will find other people who like it too.
Be the person with The List⢠Be the person who has a collection of links who can jump in and answer someone's question with a "Hey! You may want to check this out!" This list can include everything from tutorials to userscripts to transcript sites to generators to communities and so much more
he wants his sweater back @triplehearts
I just wanted to say that I adore your scarians in all their tenderness, you are able to picture them in such a gentle and affectionate way it's incredible! and ur art makes me very emotional in general :')ā¤ļø
-š«
thank you star anon here is scarian just for you wheee
wips that idk if ill finish because (car crash sfx)
my amazing silent hill scarian au that i have been brainrotting about for months since sh2remake released that i've finally put down onto paper because im suddenly being dragged back to desertduo hell
do i look like your boyfriend?
im enamoured by @polarchariot ās silent hill au so i made this. < 3
version without ui and effects:
HOLY CRAP OH MY GOD?
I was so angry all the time and I struck out at everyone I loved most. Especially you, Grian. That's why I understand if you do hate me. But I want you to know this, Grian. I'll always love you.
*trips and falls into the room*
Did I hear someone say bottom scar???
yes
I got very excited when I saw your platonic nudity desert duo post. I donāt really experience romance really and I feel like thereās a severe lack of appreciation for close platonic friendships. Nudity is also such a vulnerable position for most people and I feel like thereās so much you can do with it. Itās a shame people will jump to romance, but if you ever were to decide to post the art Iād be very excited! Ofc in the end itās up to you
Have a good day, and I wish you many more platonic desert duo fans in your future
im keeping the art i originally mentioned, but i did doodle something else at least
