@sharksandjays babe look at this they're onto us quick get the marriage papers
hey................. check this out. hm. archiveofourown . org/works/51442474
Thank you for telling me. Some kind souls already told me last night when it was first posted so I waited until the morning to try and sort it all out.
I've spent an hour going through ao3's ToS and unless I missed something (which I may have bc it was 5 in the morning) there wasn't anything that it explicitly violated. On top of that, there's no comments allowed and it's most likely been orphaned since I can't find it in any of the Anonymous collections. Which means we have no way of tracing it back.
I'm feeling a lot of things. I'm angry, I'm sad, but I also feel incredibly guilty even though I know I shouldn't be. I'm sorry that ch5 has taken so long, but please do not support people like this. I promise that whatever ch5 ends up looking like is going to be infinitely better than this AI nonsense. The past couple of months have been rough, but I finally think I'm starting to pull myself together.
Rather than keep spreading this hate (and also bc I'm an empath and it's getting to me), can you guys please go and give some of my other stories some love? I've written things other than the rewrite, and I want people to know that I do actually get things done even if it takes some time. For heaven's sake I released 30k words worth of stuff for Whumptober a couple weeks ago ☠️
Thank you guys for being patient with me while I try to figure it all out 💙💙💙
YOU'RE SOUTHERN????
I THOUGHT YOU WERE FRENCH
WHEN DID I EVER MAKE MYSELF LOOK FRENCH?!
OUI OUI? BAGUETTE???? LES MISERABLES??????? Sorry French people on my dash ☠️
Also me knowing how to pronounce Corolla wasn't your first clue 😭😭😭 (it is NOT pronounced how you guys think it is)?? I didn't think I hid the fact that I was American very well.
Yeehaw, y'all ain't never gonna believe this chicken gizzard casserole my meemaw fixed up fer supper (I hate literally everything I just wrote get me out of here)
I don't know if you know yet but this fic (https://archiveofourown.org/works/51442474) was posted earlier today and made a "new chapter" of your Prime Empire fic using ai. I looked through ao3's tos and I think there could be a good case for reporting it as copyright infringement if you mention this was done without your permission.
I just wanted to make you aware and let you know that I've reported it already. I hope this doesn't discourage you from writing, I know how writing is and genuinely don't care how long it takes for you to update. Fanfic should be fun, and that includes for the writers.
I'm going to try and report it, but I have no idea how effective it'll be. I can tell that they fed it my stuff since a lot of reads the same (just worse bc it's a fraud) but they edited anything that would've tied it to mine, and they changed some of the characters around as well.
Unfortunately, this isn't the first time my work has been fed into an AI. Any time you create something, you run the risk of someone else taking it and doing whatever the hell they want with it; it's an occupational hazard. And I've known that for as long as I've been in the fanfiction game.
But I won't stop writing. They can feed everything I write into a machine that would pop out perfect imitations of my work and I wouldn't stop writing. This is my work, my effort, and they can never take that away from me.
That heart attack post is misinformation, it's actually not true!
I looked into this a bit more just to be safe and make sure that I had my facts straight before I answered this.
As far as I can tell, this wasn't debunked until this year, and I had my accident and was somewhat "revived" when I was 13 years old in either 2018 or 2019. My information could be wrong, and I'm more than willing to admit that it is wrong, but coughing is something that I was told COULD HELP when I was younger.
My doctor never claimed that it could save my life, but it can buy you time, and time is EXTREMELY important when it comes to your heart. The bloodflow to your brain can be crucial in keeping you conscious for even a few extra seconds, and seconds can mean the difference between life and death.
So while the post is not made in the best of faith, and is technically classified as misinformation, what it does tell you to do still can help and may save your life.
Hey! I'm a really big fan of your art and I have a question. Do you have a certain process for drawing hands? I've been trying to get better at it since forever and maybe you have some tips bc yours are awesome for a beginner :D
:O THANK YOU SO MUCH! Hands are like one of my only artistic talents that I just had beforehand so I'm more than happy to show you my process! I have no official training by the way, everything I'm telling you is just stuff that I've learned from drawing them and observing them.
This is a simple sketch that is eventually going to turn into something for Taddy, but it will do for right now! I'm going to walk you through how I sketched this.
First step: ALWAYS ALWAYS START with the outline of the three big fingers. These determine the proportions of the rest of the hand. Where you might be getting tripped up is trying to draw the whole pointer finger first, and you should not do that. Doing one finger and then another one messes with the proportions; it's much easier to fix three lines than it is to redraw the whole finger. Make sure you curve for the knuckles!
Second step: In this picture, only the index finger and thumb are fully visible, but if the others were to be visible this is where you would draw the rest of them. You should have three distinct sections, and those sections should be CURVED. Your fingertips have a very unique curve to them and it can take a few tries to get it right.
Third step: the thumb. I hate doing the thumb. This one might take you a bit because the thumb is always smaller than people think it is. The tip of the thumb should come out to just below the first joint in your index finger. The line going across the back of the hand should always be over the one coming down from the fingers. Your thumb is also not flat; it curves inwards and then back out as it goes down to your wrist. It should only have two sections!
Fourth step: the pinkie and the "back" of the hand. PINKIES SUCK EVEN MORE THAN THUMBS! I normally choose hand positions that don't feature the pinky because I hate drawing it. But cheat sheet: the pinky never extends past the second joint of your ring finger! Your pinky still has three sections, just smaller than the rest, so the second joint of your pinky is roughly level with the first joint of your ring finger. The "back" of your hand also has a slight bump to it: the pinky curves out and then it curves back in at the wrist. The transition from back of hand to wrist isn't supposed to be smooth like it is from the thumb.
Fifth step: knuckles! This one can be ignored if your art style doesn't do knuckles. I choose to do little v-shapes like that or just bumpy lines whenever I feel like being extra, but they're always pointing downwards and they're bigger than you think!
Some extra details that might be helpful:
A bunch of the stuff above I already mentioned, but for the ones I haven't mentioned...
-The skeleton lines you drew at the beginning should always curve away from the thumb. Not by a lot, just a little!
-The top joints for the three fingers are roughly equal with the index and ring, but the middle finger top joint is higher up. The second joints are all roughly level with each other
-Middle is tallest, than index, than ring and finally pinky. The thumb is shorter than the pinky
I think that's it? I've never really done an art tutorial before so let me know if I need to explain anything else! This was pretty fun though :D
