He's real :)

i've seen this interpretation a lot that Gloves & Rider find each other annoying (even mentioned in wikis) but they've only ever had One 'conflict'. Otherwise they are litcherally just chilling

Gloves has been nice to him more than anything and Rider seems to tolerate him enough to willingly hang out with him alone.

Not sure if this was the intent but I interpreted their final interaction in the King Cup arc (4th img) as serving as a contrast to their initial meeting where they get annoyed at each other for like "copying each other"'s lines or whatever. Tho this time Rider intentionally repeats after Gloves. Not at the same time like the other instances but I think that just reinforces the fact it was done by choice and not on accident.

Either way I do think a positive development was intended there. Fans often gloss over it and I think it is a bit of a bummer. There is fun potential with them as friends : )

Tumblr is partnering with OpenAI and Midjourney, allowing them to utilize user-submitted content for AI model training. [1] [2]

While it's unclear whether scraping has already started, "a query made to prepare data for OpenAI and Midjourney compiled a huge number of user posts that it wasn’t supposed to", namely unanswered asks and private posts, all dating as far as 2014.

You are opt-in by default. The option to opt-out might not be visible on mobile yet. You can either go on desktop or use a browser on mobile. You must repeat this step with sideblogs as well.

I've seen Glaze/WebGlaze and Nightshade used as a counterattack to cloak artwork against AI training itself on art, but I can't comment on its effectiveness.

Imperfections, watermarking and effects can throw off AI as well. Sketches, overlaying text, gaussian blur/noise effects, and poor lighting on traditional art are a few examples.

You can search for yours or another's artwork on Have I Been Trained? which "taps into the LAION-5B training data used to train Stable Diffusion and Google's Imagen AI models, among others" and allows you to request not to train AI on selected images. Midjourney's images come from the LAION-5B dataset.

Should I reblog/share links to other ppl's Clam & Outcast Team posts

Show us your son and his autistic gang

Idk I'm here for your PNGs

Are you gay

All of the above

Voting ended onNov 14, 2023

Context: I am the #1 Clam Fan in the universe. Not even kidding

Pros: I get to show you more Clam content (euphoria). Specifically Clam content that isn't just mine Cons: My blog is slightly less organized (tragedy). I might dig up people's old art

Only options 1 and 4 count as "yes" btw

Side Order looks SUPER neat I love how dreamlike (nightmare-like) and uncanny everything feels and there is an alarming lack of Marina which we'll worry about later. But.

I find it very odd that Dedf1sh/Acht acts like a normal and fully conscious being despite her being Sanitized. She willingly turned into a lifeless being devoid of emotion, identity and memories to dedicate her existence to nothing but music. Sanitization was used on other Octarians for the purpose of creating mindless troops who exist purely to serve Kamabo co. But she still does other things and can think for herself and still remembers Marina, stating that "we go way back"? What am I missing here

you’ve trapped me in coroika punkrock hell and now i need to know ur hcs/scenarios abt it

Losing my mind (positive),,,, Thank you so much for this ask. I hope you'll enjoy your time in PunkRock hell

I like that Clams and Rider have a lot in common but are opposites in ways as well. They’re both “tSuNdErE” edgelords But one is an (aggressively) good kid who would decline but thank you for your friendly offers and the other would curbstomp you if you get in his way (AKA he would actively push you away). Anger is both their main expression But one is very expressive in general while the other has a resting bitch face. They’re both goth But one is more specifically punk. They both visibly obsessively train on that RISE & GRIND💪😤‼️ routine But One mains a lightweight weapon covering the ground in ink while the other Murders with a heavy weapon. 

Sidenote: I like to defend heavy mains on my team as an Aerospray cuz they tend to get targeted often and can’t react quick enough to flankers. They can go on a Splatting spree while I cover the floor and stack up victory points. If I slapped these two idiots on this scenario this strat would be in-character for Clams since a big part of his team’s shtick is them having each other’s backs. I also like the “mutually protective” element there.

Neither of them seem to be the type to be very vocal about love. So a romantic relationship would be extremely awkward at first. Clim could give a smooch and Ride goes “bro that’s gay” and Clammy’s like “THAT’S THE POINT YOU IDIOT”. And then they don’t make eye contact for a week. Or Raider could literally just smile and Clambert faints and dies. They are very bad at this. But they will get better and open up more (when alone).

Hilariously enough I like to imagine that the relationship evolves the same way my feelings towards the pair did overtime. At first I thought nothing of it then I was all like “mmm edgy squids” as a joke but bro... I don’t think it’s a joke anymore. At first they’d see each other strictly as rivals. I can see mutual respect with Rider being ranked S+ which Clams would likely aspire to be. And Clams valuing teamwork and trust is something Rider needed a whole character arc to learn and likely still needs to improve. They would realize they have a lot in common they can agree on and bond over. And a Good rivalry would encourage them to work even harder and learn from each other. From there I guess it gets sus. But it’d take a while for them to admit how they feel to themselves, let alone to each other.

Which brings me to one issue... Neither of them would be the type to make advances. If any progress is made it’d likely be accidental. Maybe one of them gets caught listening to Splatoonified MCR and the other goes “Yo is that Splatoonified MCR” and both of them in their heads go “This mf is Not straight”. They’d require some scenario pushing them to open up and maybe non-verbally confess otherwise they’ll just keep it to themselves.

Sidenote: I also like PartyPunk (Aloha & Clams) so in my stupid little head Aloha would play a wingman-type role as someone who is much more comfortable with that kinda thing as opposed to the other two Cowards. But this is not about PartyPunkRock so that’s for another time.

Speaking of scenarios. I'm a sucker for the Tending to Wounds scenario. They can battle (for no reason) until Rider gets wounded and Clams abruptly cuts the battle like “OH NO I AM SO SORRY”. Rider goes “Naw I’m good come at me bro” and Clams is like “WTF NO?” Cut to Clamlet tending to Ridr’s wounds switching between apologizing repeatedly for causing the wound and scolding him for disregarding his own injuries. Meanwhile Riddlr is just sitting there slightly embarassed like “bruh I can do this myself”.

Another one I had in mind for a while but I don’t want to spoil too much cuz I wanted to make it a proper art post. But remember when Rider wore a sick knight costume. He’s not very knightly character-wise but it looked cool. Clams however would fit the role perfectly. What if they were both rocking the knight drip... That is all I will say.

I think that’s all for me. Thank you for reading my excessive neurodivergent infodumping. Below is an embarrassing doodle as a treat. I am very touched others like my unusual pairing :)
