#<- in this way ik ai can be used in better ways

[water-that-makes-the-frogs-gay]

funny how i was the last comment after replies were turned off.

i was gonna leave it as this, but since you are clearly trying to hide something, ill go ahead and elaborate.

on the anatomy: the legs are too short and there is no clear neck. the coat texture is also strange and undefined, it looks weirdly artifacted. real lambs have longer legs, smaller eyes, smaller ears, and don't "smile" like that, especially at 17 minutes old

and the architecture is so weird too, what is all of this? a barn?? it looks so nondescript

and some examples of other ai images from the blog for proof:

again, weird anatomy a plenty. the cub's ears are far too pointed, they should be much rounder. the positioning of the lioness' eyes are not aligned with the rest of her muzzle. what the hell is going on with that far left paw. also plenty of blurriness and artifacting to go around.

more super weird anatomy. the left (of the photo) arm is much smaller than than the right. again, weird fur texture. tail is also strangley straight and doesn't appear to be coming from the bottom of the spine.

general ai weirdness, but please pay special attention to the bottom right of the image.

what was once a watermark is now an obscured, jumbled mess.

oh and i see some real images on your blog too, i was wrong in saying all of them weird ai generated. some of them are stolen from real artists.

edit: clarification on why not disclosing why ai generated content is bad. it obscures the truth. people will see this and think real lambs look like this. certain demographics of vegans/vegetarians have used this image as ammo for their own moral beliefs against others in the reblogs and comments. this isn't the worst example of misinformation though. ai images can be used in defamatory ways against others. many of you may have heard of the ai generated nude images of celebrities and other people. in general, generating images with false information and not disclosing that is dishonest at best and actively harmful at worst.

Hello world! I'm 17 minutes old❤️

Hey, I've got questions about your stance against ai

In writing, ik you are against Ai "writing your fic"

But are there ways ai can be used in writing fics that you are okay with?

Like obviously saying "Hey chatgpt, write a (insert fandom) fic where (insert plot) happens" then just copy pasting it, is wrong

But what about getting ideas from ai? Like prompts, or titles (like i did with 1 fic) or having ai re-write like a sentence to make it sound better or other stuff

tbh i don’t think it’s good to use AI like that for anything related to the creation of art. the brain is a muscle, and in order to hone your skills, you need to step out of your comfort zone. i for one hate titling my fics, but i’d rather struggle & then come to the satisfaction of finding a title on my own than asking a bot to spit a title back at me. plus, i’ve titled over 50+ fics, so that skill is strengthened with repetition.

(plus i’m pretty sure chatgpt is regenerative, meaning that if you send it your fic to give a title to, it can use your work as data to write other people’s fics :/)

prompts are even worse tbh. fandom thrives from conversation. if you’re looking for something to write, explore certain tags and post in them, i promise a real person will have an idea you’re interested in, and maybe you can make a new friend in fandom by talking about that idea together.

also, using AI for rewriting is probably the worst thing you can do. again with strengthening the muscle of your mind and honing the skill. you need to reread your work, reach out to others & maybe get an editor/beta reader. you can and should find writing blogs written by real people, and read books to find writing that intrigues you. that’s crucial to the human experience.

of course, i don’t mean any offense when i say this. i can’t stop you. but i for one would never turn to something non-human to aid in something i consider very human & vulnerable, and i don’t think you should either.

lyney is protective to a concerning extent. the instinct of an older brother, maybe?

there is some sort of irony to be found in it all since the reason he protects to a 'concerning' extent is out of concern in the first place.

behind his show of brilliance, you consider yourself lucky enough to have witnessed a side to lyney that his audience wouldn't have guessed; that he is a worrier in every aspect of the word. whether for his family, for you, for his friends or for others he comes across that are plagued by misfortune - if all that worry were to come in the shape of dimes, he'd already have an abundance of them to share with the entire nation of fontaine.

but he has no choice, does he?

his background is not a clean slate nor is it a display of sunshine and rainbows resembling his magic shows. lyney's hands are tainted, covered by his gloves as a measly means of self-solace. he has to worry. associating himself deeply and intimately with another is a risk on its own - comparable to dragging someone else down into the murkier depths with him. he can never do that, never has the courage nor the heart to.

(but fortunately for him, you've always been braver than most.)

. . .isn't that why you offered your hand, your trust to him first? he swore to never let you down from that day on.

easier said than done, however.

the house of the hearth operates within the shadows but as for its foes? some also prefer to dwell in the dark and some move in broad daylight. no matter what it is, they all require the same precaution: for him to keep his guard up at all times. every child has been trained by “father” to know that but you're an innocent, tied to this precarious matter merely due to your connection with him.

(“i don't regret anything,” you told him but he didn't look into your eyes, conflicted. you couldn't tell if he believed you or not.)

how was your day? have you eaten? you look sad, did something happen? — all these little questions are a way for him to show that he cares, that you're important, that you're his responsibility and he'll be there for you.

bound by both guilt and love, lyney promises to keep you safe. from whatever kinds of threats there are; whether it be fools with nefarious schemes or even an insect you're too scared to touch, he'll keep you safe all the same. so please, don't hide from him if you're dealing with something. it's better to let him handle it. . . right, correction: the two of you can handle it together.

(truly, his desire to protect can both be his greatest strength and most formidable foe.)

the way lyney protects is through self-sacrifice, granting peace in exchange for destruction of the self.

since the very beginning, lyney has grown used to seeing the world through the lens of a protector.

he recalls the old times where he and lynette loitered the streets in ragged clothes and the only refuge he could provide her with was his hand. it mattered not if he was freezing cold from the rain. . . as long as his little sister was protected, comforted by whatever warmth he had left - it's alright. to do that wasn't an option then, it was a necessity.

to sacrifice himself is a habit. it's easy to adopt but not at all easy to discard.

in lyney's eyes, burdens often seem as if they would be lighter upon his shoulders than they are on another's - but this is only wishful thinking. only meant to convince himself that pain shall eventually lose its harsh bite the more he bears it. “well, has it?” if asked, he cannot give an answer. regardless, that alone is enough of a justification for him because he can't bear the thought of doing anything else; to stand idly by, to be utterly useless.

if he has the means to protect others, why wouldn't he do so? even if he wears himself down to the bone, he’d do it again. akin to a bright flame lit in a hearth, lyney envelopes those near him in a blanket of warmth - and if the blaze threatens to flicker, he'd simply ignite a piece of himself to prevent it from diminishing into futile cinders. he won't let it happen.

(but little does he know that even cinders still serve a purpose. they exist as proof, a sign that his sacrifice has never been in vain.)

in return, lyney feels protected by simply knowing that you're happy (and your acknowledgement of his efforts).

let's call it an innate principle that belongs to a magician; he wants to see smiles on the faces of others. “a smile weighs much lighter for your face to carry compared to a frown, no?” he joked to you once, tapping gently on the corner of his lips with a grin. it was said with a light heart, but you knew he meant it deep down.

(he always does so much, only to ask for so little in return.)

you were not so cruel that you couldn't even grant him that, so you smiled. genuine and grateful. “. . .thank you, lyney,” you said. he fell quiet then. had the wind been knocked out of his lungs or had the world stopped spinning? he thought he saw stars in your eyes, but that couldn't possibly be true. the sun glaring down at him from behind the clouds above remained unmoved.

not like it mattered, anyway. his poor heart was far too occupied with you to care about the answer. “o-oh? you're welcome. . .” lyney blinked, multiple times, dazedly.

gratitude is not a foreign concept to him; he often receives it from an audience member, a lonely elder he briefly chatted with, a fellow member from the house of the hearth — so, just what makes it different now? perhaps, it's because he knows that you've beared witness to his heart that lies deeper within.

that you see right through him, that you're thanking him for who he truly is, although he no longer has a definite image of “self” from the countless white lies piling at his feet like a tower. yet he finds comfort in it, in the way you hold his sullied hands so kindly. he isn't wearing gloves this time. strange, lyney had never imagined transparency to be a feeling so benevolent and cathartic.

no matter what thoughts are buzzing in his head or what ache tugs on his body, they can pester him as much as they'd like - with one swift recall of your smile, lyney feels as if he can banish them even if momentarily. they'll come back sooner or later, he knows, but is it cowardly of him to find solace in that brief respite?

when lynette taps on his cheek to wake him up in the morning, when freminet knocks on his door to deliver something, when other siblings flock around him to welcome him home, or when you come to visit him after a long day — those worries disappear — but even if he already knows that they will make their inevitable return. . . perhaps, everything will be okay.

(it has to be, he tells himself.)

“did something happen yesterday?”

your lunch with a certain feline girl in front of hotel bouffes d'ete kickstarts with a simple question. but the abruptness of it all wipes away the content look on your face and replaces it with a frown.

the tea in your cup reflects your reflection as much as it does your perplexity. lynette lifts her own teacup to her lips, composed while you're lost in thought, confused.

“lyney went home with a wide smile on his face yesterday,” she elaborates, humming either at the tea or at the current matter she's recalling. perhaps, even both but you aren't sure yet. “while this wouldn't be an odd occurrence, i thought there must've been a special occasion to warrant a smile that wide.”

ah. the realization dawns on you in gentle waves. he said something that prompted a smile out of you yesterday — the exchange of a kind “thank you” from your side and a flustered “you're welcome” from his — not that smiling is a rarity around him, hardly, the one thing magicians do best is attract smiles.

your gaze drifts down to stare at nothing in particular. fond memories filled with the face of a familiar magician swims before your eyes. “hm. . . it must've meant a lot more to him than i expected,” you mumble to yourself. in your eyes, you'd think the look on your face represents the paradigm of nostalgia but in lynette's eyes, you look like a madman smiling to yourself so intensely.

“not you too,” she lets out a resigned sigh, placing down her teacup. “smiling to yourself like that. . .” she shakes her head in a disappointed manner, “you and lyney must've been rubbing off on each other these days.”

“maybe a bit too much,” lynette adds, but there is a ghost of a smile on her face this time around.

you can only smile sheepishly.

— thank you for reading! reblogs with comments are most appreciated.

THE AMAZING DIGITAL CIRCUS EPISODE 4 DISCUSSION NOTES!!!!

TALK TO ME ABOUT THE AMAZING DIGITAL CIRCUS!!! IM BEGGING YOU!!!!

Spoilers ahead :D so many spoilers :D

IVE GOT THOUGHTS!!! That can most conveniently be organized in sections of character analysis… Some Jax and Ragatha are in there too but these are the MAIN ones I have the most thoughts on/thoughts that revolve around them but still include other characters. LETS GO!!!

CAINE!

Allow me to indulge in my PERSONAL favorite thing first before being more general- im getting these out of the way first cause theyre less THIS EPISODE and more how this episode adds to the rest of his character and omg i love him sm….

I loved when Zooble and Jax talked about Caine. I love when Caine specifically is talked about. Cause like- people's opinions of him. I care about a lot. itll ALWAYS be interesting, cause hes THE GUY. THE MAN. THE DUDE THAT PUTS THEM THROUGH ALL THE SHIT THEY HATE AND MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE “REAL” FEELINGS. He’s a really unsuspecting goofy character at a glance who (telling from ep 3) like actually KINDA cares?? Cant tell if it’s for more selfish reasons or what, but he’s clearly PROGRAMMED to care about his guests, so he does.

And some people (zooble) are kinda SCARED OF HIM and FOR GOOD REASON???? Like yeah no shit, Jax. Caine has the power to do ANYTHING including killing you…torturing you for all eternity. fun stuff like that!

But he won't! cause hes not programmed for that. So he wont.

Also side note: Caine said in the last episode “Zooble! look at this cool bee I drew!” and on his desk he just has a shitton doodles of bees. This is all he does in his free time.

Second more important side note: Caine glitching out at the end feels important, but also feels like just a comedic moment. and idk what to make of that. LOCKING IT IN MY HEAD EITHER WAY CAUSE IT CAUGHT ME OFF GUARD ON THE FIRST VIEWING SO MUCH 😭

LAST THOUGHT: I would LOVE for him to gain sentience cause I have a sneaking suspicion he doesn’t right now telling from how he’s literally PART of the circus they’re in… HM… Cause telling from Gummigoo it IS POSSIBLE for AI to gain sentience…. Foreshadowing perchance… OH YEAH, GUMMIGOO!!!

GUMMIGOO!

HE TOTALLY RECOGNIZED POMNI AROUND THE END OF THEIR INTERACTION. his face changed when she said that none of this is real in front of him, HE KNOWS. SHE KNOWS. but they also understand Caine wont let him stay. Kinda like a Sans (kill me) moment of “ik none of this matters, but since it wont last, I’ll at least be happy doing it!”

Something I love about the writing also…This being a very rushed adventure that Caine didn't get to spend a lot of time on explains WHYYYYY GUMMIGOO IS IN THIS. LIKE THIS WASN’T JUST FOR THE PLOT IT ACTUALLY MAKES SENSE???? all of the NPCs in it are unfinished or redos. He didn't have time to make new ones. ***I JUST LOVE THAT THAT'S SO SMART***

GANGLE.

i'm obsessed

Her taking off that smile mask and actually smiling with her real face KILLED ME. shes learning to be her authentic self and I love it

Jax constantly breaking her happy mask, making her reveal her true sad face feels like the equivalent of bullying the quiet kid like- she's always just pretending to be happy/okay, but then him harassing her makes her “break character “ (EH??? EH??? BREAK??????? CHARACTER????????? MASK?????????WHAT??????)

But Gangle going crazy I think is a sortaaaa “metaphor” (there's a better word but I cant think of it) for how pretending to be someone your not can make you the person you hate. Like she was kinda abusive in this episode… People who are awful people were all victims once, technically- not ALL ofc cause nothing is black and white n all that, but you get me-

IN GENERAL…

i think the motif of this episode was pretending to be someone you're not, for whatever reason you have. Not just for Gangle! For Jax, its to entertain himself, keep em sane. And for Gangle, its for everyone else. But for RAGATHA…I feel its both. She wants to feel useful/helpful for herself for selfish reasons BUT she also just wants to be useful/helpful for everyone else for kind, caring reasons. I already got that vibe before this episode, but Gangle talking about how she cant tell when Ragatha is being genuine or not makes me very confident this is the case

I thought Gangle was gonna abstract in that last bit of the episode, and im like 99% sure that was intentional. I love that a lot… I love how this show is written, abstracting was introduced right away, so now its a looming threat across all these characters youve grown to love, appreciate, and relate too

Idk what Gangle getting hit by the truck was a reference to, but part of my brain rot theorizing in me wants to say this digital world is basically Hell and thats how she “died” before getting here. Doesnt make any godamn sense and the truck thing totally has other explainations I JUST CANT THINK OF ANY!!! PUTTEM IN THE COMMENTS BELOW AND DONT FORGET TO HIT THAT BEL- *gets shot*

Weight Management App Review

Noom Weight

Overall: It’s fine but there are better ways to spend your money.

It’s minimum $20 a month for information and services you can get elsewhere for free.

There are several different styles of Noom depending on what you asked for, and how much you’re willing to pay. For example, Noom Med provides medical testing and doctors who will prescribe drugs like GLP-1 .

I used Noom Weight, which doesn’t include the medical portion. I used it for two weeks. It has standard calorie tracking and free workout videos, but more unique to Noom, it has daily lessons and coaches you can message.

The calorie tracking isn’t bad, but it’s not great. The goal is to eat as many green foods as possible, and there’s a soft limit on how many yellow and orange foods you should eat. It’s based on caloric density, so green foods are stuff like vegetables, tofu, and water-heavy things, while the yellow and orange foods are more calorie dense.

The problem I had is that the foods I normally eat just aren’t in the system. I could enter the information myself but it was never assigned a “green, yellow, orange” rating. I suppose the people who can drop $20 minimum on an app don’t normally shop at Aldi.

The ads also boast about coaching and community, but it’s all a gimmick. The coach is just an AI bot. I asked a few questions about meal planning and it just told me to eat more spinach and tofu. As for the community, it’s Ike a large Facebook feed of strangers’ text posts. There’s little context or history, and even though it looks like you could follow someone, I couldn’t figure out how to do it.

Another big feature is the daily lessons, which are good, if you don’t know what to do or if you need a reset. It talks about things like, motivation, kinds of eating styles, calorie deficits, etc.

Pic: my lessons about two weeks in to the program.

The lessons are grouped together in units, and so for a few days, all your lessons are about the same general topic. They’re very passive and standard for everyone, so it’s not actually tailored to you. The lessons themselves are fine, but if you’ve tried to lose weight before, it’s all stuff you’ve already heard. I didn’t find it particularly interesting, but ymmv.

Overall, the app delivers on all of its promises, but only by doing the absolute minimum. Nothing is personalized beyond a calorie suggestion based on your weight. The promised features are all there and technically work, but they’re lame and mostly go unused. If you manage to lose weight with it, it’s because you put in the work, and Noom expects a cut anyway.

[lonesplashy]

Ok I see ppl on Tumblr talking Abt how much they liked the final episodes but honestly I was severely underwhelmed by the fionna and cake ending. If you don't want to see me just list out everything I like and dislike and why according to my arbitrary personal preferences scroll now.

The second half of the fight with scabby was meh and repetitive. At least the gumlee was cute. Fionna is still the bestest even if her final fight kinda sucked. I love her dearly and I hope she is living her best life.

The lack of Ooo Marceline in the end was literally so disappointing too I wish we could've seen her again at SOME point.

And just in general the ending felt really rushed, I feel like if they had some more episodes to work with it would've been a lot smoother.

Simons pov was just so severely underwhelming, it just felt like filler to me.

I literally didn't care if it was going to be happy or sad ending for Simon as long as it made me feel things like the last couple of episodes did but it just felt totally flat. It didn't really feel like an ending at all. I wouldn't even mind the breakup angle they took under normal circumstances if it wasn't for the fact he like. Literally spent 12 years basically being in a constant mental breakdown, and a thousand years before that subconsciously searching for her, and her literally driving herself to insanity and becoming golb to keep him safe, but wow suddenly everything's chill cuz he played a video game. Ok. Simon just realized that whoops he didn't always take Betty's feelings into account and they parted ways.

And I will repeat: I DO NOT MIND THE BREAK UP ANGLE. IT MAKES SENSE OBJECTIVELY. HOWEVER. IT FEELS LIKE THERE WAS LIKE. TWO MINUTES OF THOUGHT PUT INTO IT. DEFINITELY NOT SUPER HEARTSTRINGS PULLING TO ME. DO NOT GET IN MY COMMENTS BEING WELL ACTKULLY THIS IS JUST ME COMPLAINING ABOUT CARTOONS.

I liked the golbetty in the bus and the golbetty statue. I could bs something about them going their separate ways on a journey the other can't go on and insert trigun quote here about how the ticket to the future is always blank but I just really like golbetty. She's great shes monsterous she's perfect.

Just in general Simon and Betty felt off to me during the final episodes, I can't really put my finger on it but they just felt weird. I'm sure Betty's been doing a lot of thinking in the void and all but it still fell to the left of them I think. The whole time I was watching I was just like. Hm.

Edit: got it. Betty has always been wanting to keep Simon thinking about her. Always. With AI Betty head she flat out said "I knew it would drive you crazy but at least you'd always be thinking about me" and it's like a core thing she does stuff for the Dramatics. While you can argue she's been doing a lot of thinking in the void and matured because of it she's also been a goddess of CHAOS. If anything she's gonna go more loony rather than more mature.

Not to sound like a doomed crazy yuri enthusiast but there are literally no normal or healthy actions you can take after literally becoming a god for someone.

Maybe I'm just too committed to the bit but I'm a solid believer that if you start a weird fucked up path you gotta end on a weird fucked up note. Although the severe disappointment of nothing happening is probably the most fucked up thing they could do to me.

Ik it's supposed to be some sometimes life doesn't give you a tidy ending stuff but also this is fiction I get enough fuck yous like this from reality and ignored job applications I want my fuck yous from fiction to be not sadly vague. Or at least better written.

At least Simon's in therapy. About time.

And the little emoticons he's using in his phone. :)

Do feel free to put your own opinions in on whether you liked or disliked the ending just play nice 🤙

[ask-the-druggieverse]

Hey! I've just discovered your blog very few minutes ago or so, and I really like how you executed the way the character's speak their dialogues to asks.

May I ask how you understand the effects and usages of drugs, and how to avoid making stereotypical representations of it?

(I was a bit reluctant to ask this since it's not exactly specified to the druggieverse blog but rather you, the creator, of it- ;-;)

Side Note!

I've also noticed in one of your posts that you struggle answering some of the asks, so I wanted to say please do take your time, no pressure! ^-^

Looking forward to seeing more of your posts! Stumbling upon this blog was quite the experience (/Positive!)

- EEEEE tyyyy!!! ^w^ I wanted to try and make things easy to follow but also leave a bit of clues here and there for the story up ahead

- - (The story up ahead I have planned out from beginning to end not fully as inside of it are the asks, I'm thinking that the asks could play a part in how some characters could end up (I.E Killer avoiding or doing drugs and or Lust being able to get a new and better job)

- As for understanding the effects and usage of drugs this might take a while to type so this'll be under a read more as to not overwhelm someone’s feed (also TW/CW ahead) (it’s also easier for me to explain it through the characters within ATDV than just to do “so basically it alters your brain” as it makes me feel a bit robotic/AI like so I hope my explanations through the characters will suffice U_U)

And if there's anything I'm missing I am always open to questions! (specifically surrounding this blog any questions that aren't related to this blog I request must go to my main ^^; but don't fear cause this question does revolve around this blog!!)

- As i've stated before in some posts to not abuse drugs, the reason being is that it can fuck you uuup. I.E damage your brain and make you go fucking coo coo crazy. It's irreversible damage if you're too far down in drugs (also I will not be writing too much about deep far down into drugs as I don’t think I can properly write that, I’ll mainly be writing about overdosing and addiction U_U)

- And like everyone knows that it makes you go out of the loop/all loopy in stuff haha good feeling but there’s also consequences to it if you abuse it I.E heart problems with abusing edibles (Swap goes through this)

- It hasn't been shown yet but it can cause not so great experiences when sober if abused for a very long time (or maybe even when high? It all depends on the person mind you)

- - I.E Dust has more severe hallucinations when sober for a while and uses pot or other drugs to calm down/relax his mind, although he doesn’t do it everyday like Horror and takes it in consideration which is what people should be doing :P (off topic but I remember a family member of mine going bat shit insane off of heroin when I was like 5-6 at the time and she was just going ballistic talking about the government or something(story for another time but Dust is not going to do that, he's more chill)(and also the only person who sticks to one type of drug is Outer(Galaxy Gas) (IK it’s not really a drug per se as it’s used for favoured whipped cream but nowadays it’s being treated as one and me and my friend both said “This has to be Outer” so yeah XP)

- Also same with NM although his sober symptons are more so super fucking angry/irritated (everyone is different when sober... it's kinda scary imo)

- - NM who's heavily dependent on opiods, does sorta make him passive (not good in Druggieverse case) he's still *not* fully passive as I've hopefully left hints of that. This is supposed to represent how people change when out of it either drastically or not (in this case Passive changes drastically while Dust stays more so the same)

- - - Also I don’t know if anyone noticed but Passive isn’t really Passive and that was intentional, I was trying to depict how despite someone changing when high they don’t actually act like that (Seen this first hand, god it’s terrifying but more so because the other family member in general is a huge fucking asshole (I don’t talk to her anymore thankfully)) (hope I worded this right, it’s easier for me to depict then explain)

- - Speaking of NM abusing drugs it's not there yet but skip this section to avoid spoilers!! (which also ties in to my understanding and usage of drugs and its consequences)

- - - In short there's this whole section of the blog where IMO will take a more darker turn from the lightheartedness that's starting off right now (although with Dream's mini section I think some people might have figured out that there's more to this blog than "HEAHEHAEH DRUGS"), Basically Nightmare fans will not be happy because he will end up in the hospital do to his immense amount of opioid take ins causing his heart to stop (he’s not dead... *stares*(he’ll just be in the hospital for a huge chunk of the story once we get to that part UmU)) (also any asks begging him to get sober will not help as I've seen first hand that even begging someone to get help or sending them help won't do jack shit for recovery)

- - That was a tiny spoiler but with that being said for those who *do* end up in the hospital if you’re currently abusing drugs please note that your body will not act the way it does normally, you will be breathing less (IMO that's like super fucking scary) and if you have any mental disorders it *will* worsen it and not make it better, your heart rate may or may not pace differently, and depending on if you do injections or not your body will feel super numb all the time

- As for avoiding stereotypical representations of it I usually go by past experiences

(- - - And if you or anyone are writing about serious topics I also recommend to step back, check yourself, and ask yourself "is this stereotypical?" and if you can't answer I also recommend what I'm doing and ask around but more specifically people who have experience with said topic)

- - Whether that be from using it (I never really used a lot of drugs, maybe hospital drugs, second hand highness from my parents overusing pot those few times, and accidently eating an edible when I was at my cousin's place (all I remember from that is being super tired and being too fixated on whatever I was being fixated on... In short it was a scary experience for a child o.O))

- - And if there's a section or area I have not personally experienced I would go ask around and see if anyone has any experience on them (and I know quite a few people who *have* experienced what drug usage does so I tend to ask if this is alright or if I should tweak a few things as when I first started this blog I wanted to make sure it wasn’t stereotypical or harmful (I like to view this blog as a story based PSA but others can think what they want of it!)

- - That being said just know that if I'm missing out on other effects of drug usage I either

A) Don't know how to properly write it (I.E those crackheads around my neighborhood, as much as I want to give out a warning to that, I do not know much of what goes on inside of their heads. I do not want to write homeless crackheads in a horrible and stereotypical light because there has to be something that led them down that path) (Whether it be peer pressure or coping with something??) (unsure but I do not want to paint them in a stereotypical light)

or B) I was unaware of it, I know a lot about drug aftermaths and what happens when high, but I don't know everything so if I'm missing something I would be happy to be let known about it as I want this blog to be as accurate as possible as to avoid painting anything in a horrible light ^^

(Also that's fine!! I'm open to any type of ask!!, although it comes to an extent, any ask about other projects me thinks should be when the story is ending or on my main blog @inkyu XP)

- as for the side note, will do!!! working on ATDV is super fun and also technically a huge cope for me if I think about it

- - Also the “huge cope” is probably to get my frustrations out on alcohol and drug addiction because of a recent death of a family member from it, i'm not sad one bit about this family member dying (It's a problem with me when it comes to death as for some reason I just don’t really feel anything >.>) but I'm more so mad about it as we've all warned her to stop and we've sent her to rehab but she would always come back and continue, so I guess ATDV was a way of my brain venting out my frustrations with addictions and how much it makes me angry U_U (I will not go very deep into this family members addiction as that is very personal and I don't like sharing a lot of personal info out on the web)

- and AWAWAWAWWAHWAHWH I'm so happy your experience was positive!! A huge goal of mine (besides building up my art skill) for this blog is for everyone to enjoy the story while playing a part in it and to be enlightened on the usage of drugs (why I chose Undertale AUs? in short I was super fixated on UTAU/UTMV (and still am) and discovered the non-lethal Error AU but to my disappointment that blog was proship neutral and that disappointed me greatly (for those who want my stance on shipcourse despite my disliking of the topic I am on the side of antiship as stated in my pinned post(DNI proship)) and because of that inspired me to create this blog where not only Error is non lethal but Nightmare and the others are too, they just moreso do drugs

(I don't know why drugs in specifically but I think it had to do with that family member passing away and a comic dug of fluttershy getting high on my TV that caused me to use drugs for this blog U.U))

Also characters will have proper backstories to getting high/starting drugs except for Ink, Error, and Fresh who's backstories were purely made for comical reasons (I think Error's is the most stupidest out of all of the joke backstories honestly)

The forgotten Villagers project: Update one! (3-1-2025)

Collecting cookies is my favourite part of the game. Seeing the animals interact with the furniture from dancing at a ball to bathing in a luxurious spa really makes the game so much fun. It made me actually sit down and realize how much animals weren’t given a cookie. So I made one for every animal that was missing one.

I can’t drawn, sadly, I have been told I can write, so I will describe the idea as best as possible and I hope it’s enough.

If you have a idea for a villager cookie, especially those I couldn’t think of, or have a better idea, or a addition to a idea, dont hesitate to comment! Thank you!

Hey hey welcome to the new list of animal crossing forgotten villagers cookies! We had already a lot of ideas from fellow fans and they are amazing. Why are they so amazing? Well, because you guys think differently then me. We are all different humans with different interests and that makes, the best cookies because that way villagers get cookies with themes I could never think of.  All humans are different, and so are the villagers! So, thank you, everyone that suggested a cookie theme! Your name will be written in the credits of said cookie with your idea. 

Changes made: Alice had already a cookie. Her idea has been given to Naomi. Ike now has a customized cookie. Typos of villager names are now changed. Curlos the sheep who was previously forgotten now not only makes the list but also has a customed cookie. Penelope has a customed cookie. Pietro has now a customed cookie. Edited some ideas to be more specific about cookies for example Tucker and changed Gonzo's idea entirely.

Admiral= Admiral. The only idea I had for admiral was going to be a old vintage wooden ship, and uhm a bit pirates of the caribbean like, but from the bad guys (so i guess the navy) p.o.v xD. There would be wigs and spy glasses you can hold in your hand and map rugs and villagers can spin the world globe…which wasnt invented yet but shhh. (that was around that time when folks realized, hold up, this thing is round not flat)

Agent S=Agent S is i think a perfect fit for undercover stuff. So think about gadgets. Villagers can fly with a jetpack, they can roll under lasers at the 5 star vault to break in so to speak, and there are some sleek outfits in this collection. Inspired by totally spies and action movies alike, this set is sure to blow your socks off. (not literally)

AI=Al’s binge cookie. Cuddle up with a cozy blanket, and expierence home comfort like never before with the Binge cookie. Watching series is what he does best, so expect comfortable new media inspired pyjamas (k.k slyder on the print, or the iconic animal crossing leaf pattern) a popcorn maker and a soda machine. There’s also a lounge couch where six villagers can sit on, so you can gather together to watch that one show with your favourite friends!

Alli=Alli is a fairytale cookie from the fairytale of the snow queen. Picture a new snowy dress, a snow castle made of ice and handheld items that let your villagers cast real ice magic. You can also imagine the colours blue, purple, and dark green to be used a lot.

Anabella=Anabella would like to open her own bed and breakfast! You can now collect parts of her cozy furniture and decorate your campsite to fit the theme. The furniture will mostly be british countryside based with mostly white and beige colours, new kitchenette items like cooking stoves but also fitting decorations to make that bed and breakfast look amazing. You can expect two new outfits for the owner and can give villagers now small suitcases or bags depending on your preference. 

Anchovy=Anchovy’s fishy cookie. It comes with fishing furniture. Based on fishes, so you can have a sea bass table and a octopus chair. The outfits are fish onesies you can wear and the 5 star item is this large, aquarium that stands on the floor and villagers can kinda, hang above it a bit, leaning, looking into the water and smile at the fishes.

Angus= Angus Beef. He should get a cookie that allows you to and I am sorry for all cow villagers, open up a beef restaurant. It would not come with anything bloody, but imagine lovely rustic chairs and tables, with plaid tablecloths and lovely little glasses. It would be very cute. The 5 star cookie reward would be a mechanical bull your villagers can ride.  

Anicotti=Anicotti’s fashion boutique. This set is more about making clothes, rather then selling them like Bree’s lovely cookie. You will see villagers sewing at the tables, size each other up with size measurement labels and can expect some true True Jackson shenigagns from this cookie xD. (man that show was so long ago but so good) 5 star cookie reward will be a office table where your villagers can have a meeting, imagine space for 8 villagers max and you as the boss will stand beside it. It will be great for mulitple story telling purposes. Fashion is not unimportant as the outfits will be Anicotti approved.

Ankha=Travel back to Ankha’s time with this unique cookie. Ankha has recently found a portal and has begun importing goods and clothing from her time. The villagers can be dressed in beautiful linen (common in that time) usually in white colours with bright gems and jewerly details (not so common, at least not for everyone) Imagine a sphinx statue that your villagers can talk to (it wont say much but sometimes they get a either ‘’blessed’’ or a ‘’cursed’’ face from it) The reward is a classical Feluccas. these beautiful boats have sailed the seas since the ancient times and can host up to 6 different villagers, all with different interactions. Someone will wave, another will raise a glass, and two are doing the famous titanic ‘’I am the king of the world’’ scene. xD  I have much love and appreciation for (Ancient) Egypt and I really tried to keep this respectful and accurate. I hope so, at least.  Except the titanic scene but thats just..that had to be there.xD

Annalise=Annelise’s cookie is going to be a hit for bridgerton fans. Shock, and delight, indeed my friends. The carriage is the 5 star reward that takes up around twenty space. ‘’WHAT SO MUCH?!’’ Yeah, because it drives around, in a small circle. The dresses are inspired by the netflix hit show but it wont be a official collab. I don’t know how the area is called but I do know its after Elizabeth I and before Elizabeth II XD. So, imagine ballgowns, uhm, dance floors in a more natural colour, high hats for gentlemen villagers, cakes that rotates and it opens and butterflies come out of it, as the villagers clap, and you have a podium where a villager can stand on, and up to six villagers can kneel around the stage, as if its a coronation. You can also change their emotions to make them look angry to make it look like a uprising xD. Just something I thought of. Yeah. Cute cookie:)

Antonio=Antonio’s run. Antonio’s cookie is going to be inspired by a pretty big sport events; Marathons. Imagine little fences, two kinds. You have one where two villagers can stand behind (imagine mom Annalisa and dad Julian cheering on their kid Filbert) ((ignore genetics, this is a example)) or one fence where one villager stands behind (awh, grandpa dobie came out to watch his grandson filbert! how cute!) the outfits will be two different sport outfits each with fitting numbers on the back like the person is actually participating in a marathon. You can also hold sports drinks. The special item is a ten spaces big running space where five villagers can run in, while three villagers cheer. It also comes with a villager with a camera doing a photo finish. ‘’...they use computers, nowadays…kath…’’ yeah, i know but imagine how cute it would be!! xD

Astrid=Astrid’s paparazzi office. Get ready for scandal and socialites! Astrid has recently opened her own magazine, and she needs your help. Paparazzi comes with starlight spots, where you can put two villagers who might be dating and sitting on a bench, holding paws, and then another villager lies on the ground, next to a bush, taking photos. xD. This is the five star item. There are star spotlight separate items for example, there is one of a villager angry stomping you can put that down, and place a standalone of a paparazzi hiding close to it. There’s also a open paparazzi one, in case you want to create a movie premiere. Now you can. xD

Avery= Sheriff Cookie= Avery wants a classical cowboy cookie! There’s a new sheriff in town. Yes. YOU! There will be hats, of course and a very vintage old western style of furniture. The biggest one and I am sorry for liking this idea but you can imprison villagers in this small cell. One cell holds one villager, and, a villager can also interact with the prisoner. xD its so silly. 

Bam=Bam’s fire…animal cookie. Bam’s cookie is all about fires. And putting them out. You can now dress your animals as if part of the fire brigade, but you can do more than that. There are different small fires that can be interacted with and placed, and villagers if they decide to go to that, will try to put the fires out. Fires cannot expand on their own, or with a villager, and will naturally re-start when you leave the campsite or cabin, or go upstairs or to your garden. The 5 star item is a firetruck where two villagers can sit in, with sirens on. A 3th villager can be seen clutching to the ladder on the roof, like some superhero xD (do not do this at home!)

Benedict: Benedict would like to open a diner. Not any diner. A chicken themed diner. So there’s a chicken mascot suit, chicken themed chairs, and chicken themed tables. For the 5 star item, there is this item that allows your villagers to fly up (wearing a chicken suit) and fly around a bit. It is quite the spectual. The design, …it’s gonna look red and black and white like a KFC. XD i am sorry.

Bertha=Bertha dreams of having her own library. You can expect small carts with books that can be pushed one block by a villager. There is also a interactive bookcase wall, where a villager can walk to and take out a book, for example. There is also another interactive one, where they will shelf the book. The 5 star item is a library café counter.

Billy= Billy wants to have a barber shop. It will be old fashioned, imagine 1920s ish with decoration, but also a mix with modern furniture. Animals can sit in front of the big mirror or chair or drink coffee on the couch, enjoy a magazine or a cookie. The 5 star item will be a hairsalon cap that can be placed over a villager’s head as in city …let’s go to the city. The animals hair won’t change, but sometimes they will get up happy and sometimes they will get up crying xD. 

Bitty= Bitty dreams of having a adorable hippo enclosure. Imagine a hippo suit. A hippo couch. A hippo bed. The 5 star item will be a hippo enclosure where a small hippo walks around, screaming angrily. (You know who this is) The vibes will be brown with pink. It will be den. Dare I say…Moo-deng?

Bones: He has a bone to pick with you (I’ve been waiting a hour for that one) Bones wants to find his favourite bone he buried in the garden and he needs your help. During digging, he found some…interesting things. Like a lovely skeleton that is armed with a sword, two skeletons that can stand as guards and a very mysterious casket that can open…on its own. The 5 star item will be a bone related item where the player can summon visions with the bones. Imagine a spooky, skeleton set for this cookie. Not too much like we had, like its a shade darker. Maybe too dark, but I’ll leave that up to you.

Boomer= Boomer’s cookie is about him running a modern pc store. He had it with these youngsters and their pear phones and their dumbwatches and their xswitches and nintenstations. He wants to know what the hype is about so he decided: Let me open my own store that way I’ll surely learn. Nope. xD. You can expect modern computers, laptops, desks, chairs, and a repair desk (premium 5 star item) to be added along with a uniform for the store. The repair desk will be two animals. One is the client, the other the worker. The worker will have the phone, and checks this. Sometimes the animal will smile, it is fixed. Sometimes, the animal will drop the phone on accident. whoops. and another time, the worker can’t figure out what’s wrong with it, so they smash it on the ground and jump on it. xD

Boone= Boone has a new hobby: Pottery! You can get messy floors or pottery stations where one villager can work at. The outfits will be aprons to avoid your clothes getting dirty and also there are several pottery art works, like Tom Nook or Isabelle in clay. You can also expect a bigger pottery station where two villagers can work together to create something beautiful.  

Boots= Boots has a beautiful store together with Kicks. Furniture items will be store related things, but also boot related things. Imagine a giant boot sign or a rack with shoes. Villagers can sit on special stools and will put on new shoes, trying them out. the 5 star premium item is a check-out counter where the villager is handed a boot-shaped bag with their purchase.

Boris= Boris’ cookie is going to be a very interesting one. You can now dress with cloaks, sharp teeth and sleep in a casket. Yes, vampire cookie is here. The cookie will have dark/red theme for the furniture. There won’t be blood in it, but there will be tomato juice packages so you can have that aesthetic, so to speak. Interactive objects: There is a casket that one villager can lay in, to sleep, and another villager can open it. The villager who is sleeping will scare the villager who woke them.

There is a dark, crimson red, glass dancing floor where the undead villagers can dance. Likely to be the 5th star premium item.

There are chairs your villagers can sit in, these are special chairs that make your villagers sniffle or look a bit ill. The special item is a counter where a sniffling villager can get medication in a cute bag.

Bruce=Bruce’s music cookie. Bruce dreams of making a rock band and he needs your help. More furniture in blue, dark colours and also electric guitars and now also a piano. You can line the stages up to create a band. It is very familiar to Cherry’s cookie, but this one is more blue themed. (if they can recycle concepts, so can i)

Buck=Buck’s horse ranch cookie. This cookie comes with ranch furniture and darker versions of that, alongside a horse onesie and a interactable carousel horse. 

Bud= Bud dreams of being a swimwear model. The idea of this cookie is to have items to create your perfect beach shoot. Camera’s, towels, and bikni’s, but also surfwear.

There is also a cute uniform and a adorable new window where villagers look from the outside, inside longingly at the sweets they see.

The diamond painting hobby can be popular under villagers. Your 5 star item will be a group table where four villagers can work at their diamond paintings (all different paintings) and theres also a three star variant with just one villager place. There is also a gigantic shimmering teddybear with diamonds. 

Caroline=Cozy sleepover. You can now sleepover in style. You will find sleeping wear and sleep bags as well as classical pyjama party items. The special item will be a couch where two villagers are pillow fighting. 

Cashmere= The cookie of Cashmere is one close to my heart. Everyone knows the story of the Wicked Mutton of the West. But do we know her story at all? This set will be green/pink items befitting any witchling or anyone looking to cry their hearts out after seeing a certain movie.

Cheplabot= The Unforgettable Findings of set (UFO) is the set inspired by Chep’s beautiful and questionable heritage. Where did he come from? Is he truly an alien? This set explores new space related items in the light of aliens. You can expect more rocket ship items, but also alien related things. ‘’Vague.’’ hmhm. You can for example, get a beam of light, you can place, like a spotlight. If your villager stands in it, they will float, as if being dragged to the sky, and a ufo will appear. xD. There is also a cow onesie. Cows and ufos go hand in hand. they know something.  

Chabwick= Canadian ice hockey set. Imagine like goals, and ice where villagers can play hockey on. There are uniforms and benches so other villagers can cheer the four playing villagers on. 

Chadder=Chadder has a strange cookie. Chadder is cheese as we all know so his cookie is just a cheese store. ‘’That’s not a real thing.’’ I assure you, it is-A dutch woman xD.

Charlise=Charlise’s therapeutic cookie. Charlise wants to help others with this cookie. This cookie offers a talking chair, a listening chair, different boxes of tissues and just warm hugs and vibes. (i went to therapy myself and i would never shame anyone for needing this. this is meant to be a reminder that you can and should always put yourself first and ask for help. you don’t need to prove to anyone or anything but yourself. this is not me mocking this, this is not me making jokes, this is just me hoping that if this is put in the game, people would open their options more. give it a chance, maybe. idk. If it can make a difference, its worth the try)

Claude= He just seems like the guy who would run his own newspaper company. Like imagine it a bit retro, big printing presses and there is this redaction with large trenchcoats and hats looking for scoops and news. I can imagine there would be a desk with a chair that a villager can type stories on, on the type writer and there is also a interview station where two villagers can sit, and one will take notes every now and then, nodding as the other talks. The premium item is a printing press where a villager is changing the ink.

Curlos=Poor curlos being skipped by me on accident. Thank you to the kind redditor who pointed out this oversight and mistake. You suggested that we take a page from the happy home room but you also said that you wanted something tropical. This redditor was Director Denial. Thank you, Director. I have made up two concepts for the Sheep and whatever you like best is what we do. If you have any adjustions or ideas let me know, and I'll happily change things. It was your idea, after all! I was thinking on doing something food related like the name Curlos reminded me of churros for some reason. This is according to Google a Spanish snack that can tie into the tropical theme you'd like to have. Maybe it can be part of a Spanish restaurant cookie or maybe a street vendor cookie with all sort of food stands set in a street or market. I was also thinking there could be special dance spots where villagers could dance the flamingo which is a Spanish dance and there could be Spanish handheld dishes. But this is just all if you want the Spanish theme, of course xD. If not, we'll look further for something else.

Claudia=She has her own bridal boutique cookie. You can pick out wedding dresses here. The items are in slight blush pink and very pale white. There is this pedestal where a villager will stand on and try on dresses. You can assign a crying couch to it (comes with the cookie) so that it looks like the villager’s entourage is so moved by their beautiful dress that they had to shed a tear..or just sob. xD

There also could be a incident as two jealous villagers might fight in a small circle for who the better fan is.

Deena=Deena’s cookie is all about red shoes. The red shoes are placeable and wearable, (two different pairs, but it will look the same pair) if villagers chooses to interact, they will dance with these shoes, and dance a long time.

Ike= ''if i could suggest one, maybe for Ike, he could have a mechanic shop/garage cookie if one doesn't exist already :) his homes are usually garage themed, so it would make sense, some items could be tires, cars, and toolbeds and then the premium 5 star could be a car suspended in the air or something like that :)''-Darius's idea for Ike's cookie. Good idea, Darius! I'd like to go even further into your idea and add the following items and options. Maybe we can add a car that villagers can work on, as if its being repaired. The car you mentioned can indeed be the 5 star premium item and maybe an animal can lower it via the system and smile as if they just finished making the car. We can also add in clothing to fit the garage and maybe some oil stains from gasoline on the clothing to give it a truly unique vibe.

Villagers can interact with not so modern phones, write mischief letters and even lock other villagers in cages. The premium item is four villagers surrounding a grave being lowered into the ground. ''You'll be missed boss.'' But is the boss really dead? Well that's a story for another time.

Megan=

Merengue Strawberry Square*=Reworked: The set now includes small buildings for your animals made of strawberry related houses. Imagine houses made of strawberries decorated by delicious fruits and details. The villagers can interact with new strawberry plants, make strawberry jam at tables and even will be able to dance around a gigantic strawberry at the Strawberry Square. This set is a true dream come true for all sweet tooth with a love for the red fruit.

Mira=

Monique=

Murphy=

Naomi*= Naomi is going to be a creative one. It is going to relate to a modern art theme. You can watch villagers paint with the new furniture, watch them react to new statues and wear chique new modern clothing. New furniture is also going to be very modern pop-art like, so imagine bright colours and weird designs like a candypop shaped chair.

Penelope=  Redditor Soggyglump made a amazing idea for Penelope's cookie. They wrote. ''Penelope's beautiful bow cookie. Just pink. And ribbons. Everywhere. The 5 star item is a big. ass. bow.'' Thank you for your comment, Soggyglump! I like this idea because like the other suggestions you paid attention to what Penelope really likes and is about and the bow is a big part of her identiy. I like to add two themes for the cookies with your preference deciding what cookie theme is the best and if they're not your vibe what we could change. The first cookie idea I had was 17th century French ballroom. Very gilded with tons of bows on the dresses and bows everywhere on the furniture. The premium item would be a big bow which also would serve as a throne. The other idea is more modern and would feature modern but cute like pink coloured furniture with bows on them. It would fit well into modern homes alike. The big bow in this case can be a fishtank or a slide for villagers to use or maybe a tv. Let me know what you like best or if you have any other ideas yourself!

Pietro=Pietro's cookie. Redditor sehotonin wrote: '' I just need a clown/mime cookie! Not necessarily circus, but clown as in balloon things, a pie in the hand to throw, clown or mime makeup, cool clown statues/dolls. Could also be slightly spooky!'' The cookie idea is very good as I like that the idea of the circus is taking a slight step back and we focus truly on what Pietro is about. He's a clown sheep. I love the cake throwing idea, and the make-up ideas. This cookie will be amazing. I was thinking we can add the cake throwing in a two villager interactions where two villagers stand and one throws the cake and the other is the victim xD. I was also thinking a balloon making interaction could be used by villagers where they briefly make a balloon animal and than they put it away. A lovely idea for a lovely sheep!

Zoe=Zodiac cookie. Comes with a constellation device where villagers can read the stars. There is also going to be a telescope they can interact with, and two floating stars where they can sit on. They can also choose to read their horoscope in a special new 5 star tent.

Thank you all so much for your help and as always plenty of villagers are looking for your help and inspiration! I hope this made you smile and remember to claim your login reward. But also remember, if you don't have time today, the world won't end and your animals will be there for you whenever you decide to return!

Lucia plays Fire Emblem Radiant Dawn: Part 3 Chapter 6

Sothe's really not thrilled about this fight. Stands to reason. But Micaiah isn't either, and still does what she feels she needs to. . . oof, this really isn't gonna get any easier for her, is it?

Well then! Plenty of preperations to make, because when I last had the Dawn Brigade they were only just starting to reach their second tier stages, whereas Ike and the others are already starting to reach their third tier stages. I specifically didn't use any bonus exp on the Greil's Mercenaries, in case that is a shared pool that the player has access to, rather than something that is seperate for these armies. . . but, turns out it is seperate for the armies, and instead of ~28k I had for Greil's Mercenaries, I only have the ~8k I had for the Dawn Brigade. Ooooph.

I ended up pumping a whole ton of exp into Edward, Aran, Nolan and Jill. I figure that if anyone is going to carry me through this it'll be them. And for Aran in particular this seems to be paying off, as he's getting far better stats than Nephenee even has right now!

Now, base conversations! Sothe getting a Master Crown. . . yeah, not using that. There's no way I'm wasting the exp for any character I still have right now. Maybe if I have someone at level 20 at the base menu.

Jill - oh, she's really not buying the whole war involvement. But after all the character development she went through in PoR, this really stands to reason.

Edward, Nolan and Leonardo - how suspiciously generous of the game to give me three legendary weapons just like that. I definitely won't be needing them. . . and all three of them putting their faith in Micaiah. I'll say it again: oof.

Now, as for the gameplay part of it all: all my levelling did thankfully pay off. Aran was able to tank like it was nobody's business, Nolan managed to boost his awful 12 defence to usable levels with his new axe, Edward was putting in all the work as usual, and Jill managed to catch up on some of her stats. She's no Haar, but she's doing pretty well for herself.

I did leave Fiona and Leonardo behind despite me being technically allowed to use the entire Dawn Brigade. There's just no way that they can really contribute anything, and I think they'll most likely just get in the way.

Black Knight is back! Didn't really use him though, because there's no way I'm wasting experience like that, and there is still the fun mechanic of the AI prioritizing units that can't fight back. . . like a Black Knight who doesn't have Alondite equipped.

I also didn't attack either Lethe or Mordecai or even find them, so I'll just read up on any conversations there later. But also, I know that if Lethe somehow died already, then a random guy with literally no other role takes her place, which is just. . . lol.

I like how the story tries to frame this fight as completely hopeless for the Alliance, when it's the Dawn Brigade that is outright struggling in terms of gameplay. Guess we got a bit of Ludonarrative Dissonance™ at play here!

Though there is the part where almost calling in Skrimir gets Micaiah to reconsider. The devs really must have been at least somewhat aware of the situation they're putting the Dawn Brigade in.

Tauroneo's here! Except not really 'cause he's just delivering stuff. Short stay, that. And I doubt that he'll be able to convince Pelleas of peace.

But speaking of Pelleas. . . I was theorizing about Izuka being blackmailed into backing off earlier, but I think Pelleas getting blackmailed sounds also pretty likely. This whole. . . menu thingy that shows all the characters and their affiliation and relations does connect him with Ashnard and Almedha as "Parent and Child" with a question mark, so it's pretty obvious that his heritage is faked to some extent. The question is, who exactly is doing the blackmailing here?

Now, as for the conversations I missed - jeez, Zihark can outright become an enemy?? They really driving home that Daein shouldn't get involved here. And the conversations that Jill has. . . I'm mostly on the Jill/Mist train, but I think Jill/Lethe also has potential. Especially with conversations like this.

[poly-lights]

PART 2 TO MY II PREDICTIONS/WISHES/QUESTIONS (technically) SINCE YALL ACTUALLY KINDA LIKED THOSE?? and i have more!

please note btw that most, if not all, of this is not gonna happen bc they can't pack EVERYTHING into a 30 minute or so episode and not gonna lie some of these are my fixation talking and me being delusional. it's good to theorize though!!

lots of bias. let's get into it

i told my gf this BUT it'd be cool if there was a scene of trees changing, to represent seasons passing because it has to have been a year at most right

more lightbulb using her electrokinesis scenes plspls?????? like. she can just casually DO THAT....maybe have her use it for evil/J IM KIDDING. don't have her kill anyone

............................yet

another knife and suitcase scene, elaborating on the "making your presence known", how suitcase took it a different way, just a conversation if that makes sense

yknow. what was that roboarm in the gemory cave. and is it Still working after lightbulb powered it on.

unrelated but still.more so a question have we or will we ever get the full roommate list drop?? unless they're gonna wait for when s2 is done to not spoil anything

baseball and lightbulb friendship scene :] team captain style!

i think it's gonna release on OR near the anniversary, if the iii finale is so soon early into 2024 it gives slight time

can we get parent lore drop??? like hello?????? they cant just said what they said in iii ep 14 and never expand on it, so i have a heavy feeling its gonna get mentioned in s2 if not ep 15 specifically

im just hoping for lb centric, even if her lore doesn't match up well with the slams. pls im so autism abt her at this point its anything BUT funny

now here's some iii 18 predictions!! for fun :] and also me just rambling abt it (spoilers for iii 17!!!!)

those who left to the hotel come back for jury voting!! more importantly fan and pb please💥

bot and springy and gonna be near each other again next episode. springy may still try to pull some shit with bot, and, assuming so, if TEST TUBE IS BY BOT'S SIDE......

springy made that suitcase bot, so clearly he knows about season 2

we may just get ii 14 tt again. which i am HOPING for. idk i love seeing test tube ENRAGED for the people she cares about she's so fun and unique bc MAN that girl is angry. she's holding grudges against Two People

also. fan meeting bot? he is going to have such a big and hopefully impactful reaction!! pls he has his patterns and the sudden changes make him uncomfortable they need to mention this

if he knows about season 2......could he make, or has he made, toys of the other final four? again im just gripping at straws for an iis2 final four appearance

think abt it though. it's the iii finale. you think they won't do something big? considering mephone knows he has to go back? springy could easily torment him w that considering the whole "facing your past" theming

also walkie talkie is Totally associated with meeple. ik we've all figured that out but i just had to say something. very heavily focused on using electronics to better the future? implying robots taking over others positions?

also??? past contestants coming back SEEING the toys?? maybe. Maybe.

the entire episode could also just be a discussion and play on the ethics of ai and how it's affecting the writing industry by putting people out of jobs due to its advancement and im reading way too much into it but hey im putting my hard hat on and channeling my inner matpat for this stupid show about objects with limbs (/pos btw)

also. are they gonna leave floor behind??? or will they scoop him into a terrarium, then plant him into inanimate island?

can he teleport that far?? how far is paradise?????????? ae drop the map pls/silly

ALSO ALSO. WHAT ARE THE INANI-MATES?? IS N/A THE LAST OF THEIR KIND??????? i doubt it but STILL everyone else in that group died

hey. why is the background of the recap song the background used when the gemories formed the silhouette of cobs. hey now.

COLLEGE BAND AU HEADCANONS

Legato x gn reader

It was pretty rude of me to just randomly put an au fic without explanation so heres the explanation bye still self indulgent; always will be i fear

more utc

- OK FIRST ABOUT HIM. He works for knives still but in this au his job is to cause vash suffering by 😭😭… outselling him??? Ridonkulous ik but go with it

- Knives wants him to outsell vash so vash realizes that art and human creativity is obsolete and instead help him run his tech/AI company that also focuses on helping global warming (humans suck they should die. robots go!)

- Hes apart of a band to rival Vash’s and ofc its the Gung Ho Guns; he hired them to play for him

- Tbh i think their genre isnt set in stone bc theyre purely doing this to outsell vash so I think theyd keep the core of it rock or indie but it has a lot of shifting gears, doing wtv gets the most traction

- Legato is the bassist but he knows keyboard if their keyboardist is absent

- I think legato writes most of the songs himself (to impress knives ofc this is still HIS mission afterall) and gets a lil sad and defensive if it flops LMFAO even if its just his first album; considering how Knives talked down on music Legato thought it’d be somewhat easy

- It DEFINITELY took him a while to write things that had some semblance of humanity in it tbh he had to have either another less emotionally stunted member write it or a ghost writer but he did still practice writing in his spare time since he had nothing better to do

- NOW ABOUT YALL. Ur roommates in a college dorm; if it were up to him he’d have an apartment but knives wanted him to keep an eye on vash and vash lives on campus

- He only has like one or two official rules as roommates but if ur pissing him off with sth thats not on the list he WILL let u lnow LOL

- The only rules established off rip are:

1. MYOB

2. Do not touch him (no tolerance rule if u touch him without permission he WILL be out of there asap even if its a lot of trouble and will probably even idk push u or sth ignore u forever, hope and pray on ur downfall idk its hard to translate his violent tendencies to modern society without getting him arrested ok)

- You often eat together when he isnt busy tbh usually in silence but its ok its comfortable silence (to him at least)

- Ok im gonna try to say this in the least creepy way possible but like. He likes to observe you for inspiration HEAR ME OUT. Just seeing u go about ur day and since hes always in first person POV seeing someone else just… live gives him immense inspiration on what to write

- He also gets inspo from other artists and heres where u come in hehe. You are a solo artist who doesn’t show your face and your speaking voice is pretty much completely different from ur singing voice (Not like insanely different but if you heard the two separately you wouldnt really connect the dots unless ur one of those people who connect voices easily + depending on ur genre u could be using a completely different tone of voice than usual)

- Your genre is a little similar to Legato’s in the fact that although you keep your core component (Love theme IMO but hey i dont make the rules yes i doo) you change around the other moving parts such as the instruments or wtv so he listens to your music often though he never really thought it would be you; just never really thought about the possibility

- Im not gonna say hes like obsessed with your artist persona or anything but he does (as much as he would rather khs than admit it since according to Knives music is the bane of this world) greatly enjoy your music and often finds himself getting your songs stuck in his head

- Hes def a gatekeeper i mean this is the guy who can name every song in ur discography (Not saying much though since you dont post too often)

- ANYWAY u have no idea this is going on since hes prone to just listening to music in his headphones rather than showing you or blasting it for the world to hear so ur relationship is developing as normal roommates

- You often get him stuff from the college snack shack and in return he often gives u whatever he doesnt want from the dining hall (that sounds crappy but its usually good stuff like ur fave fruit or cheese and crackers or sth)

- After u become a bit closer going on trips together becomes common not like vacation but like a little drive to a department store or him taking you with him to practice/performances

- SPEAKING OF PRACTICE U work part time at a coffee shop and it has a practice room which is where he usually brings his band it sounds random but I’ve encountered a coffee place like this before ok

- Killing two birds with one stone, he gets to see you on his way in and out and he gets a quiet place to practice + Vash often brings his band here too so ig killing two birds and one afterthought with one stone

- Other GHGs (NOT greenhouse gasses. Gung ho guns) think that ur another one of his groupies probably 💀 he def has tons i fear

- He def writes songs about you or rather than about you, references how u make him feel but he is in denial and thinks feelings are embarrassing so hes just like no they just gave me inspiration

- Its ok though the only one he has to justify himself to is himself bc hes like. The only one who knows its about u since his songs are never rlly about romance and in the rare cases that they are its very subtle

- When, if ever, he feels ready for touch he frames it like hes doing u a favor lmao “I will allow you to (blank)” he is tbh

Random Misc:

- Hes majoring in Ecology or Conservation Biology prob minoring in sth like computer science (his entire life surrounds Knives what did u expect)

- Sleeps in his daytime clothes and ur always like ???? Esp bc he wears jeans often… U two went to the department store one time and u convinced him to let u buy him pajamas so he could wash the day clothes overnight

- Hes a big ass fan of vinyls and cds and just physical ways of owning things like music or games but wont admit to himself he likes it its just for the aesthetic ok even though he has a record and cd player

- Wants to cut ur hair and feels like its one of the most intimate things u could do without having to touch too much (forever subscribed to knives cut his hair hc)

- If u have a lot of accessories and generally just a lot of stuff he gets annoyed if it isnt properly organized and will organize it for u wnv hes having writers block

- If ur an artist he has u make his merch designs n stuff 😍😍 he pays very generously he rlly dgaf abt money tbh + Knives sponsoring him

A/N: irrelevant but idk whether to imagine him as tristamp or trigun design like both are so good but Ok im done yapping ty

Promised Neverland

Other name: Tech-zine future (inspired by July '97 edition of WIRED [picture] [link to read])

Main interest - Retro-Futurism, Cyberpradism

Related/Similar to the genres/aesthetics of Vaporwave, Y2K, Cyberpunk and those sorts -

Wonderland, Cyberparadism, Global Village Coffeehouse and Hauntology - among others -

This aesthetics talks about idea of "what could have been", "what we lost", even incorporating in talks those terms of "look what they took away from you".

Speaking of general "vibe", we are in-between on terms of: Dark Academia, sometimes Bastardcore - Mallgoth. Also might vary between Utopian scholastic, and/or cassette futurism (and others).

Talking of Hauntology - PNL can make us look over for "what went wrong/what could be//get better", this is, speaking figuratively. Human imagination, in these forms, presents to us, "what could have been's" - world envisioned: in 10, 50, 100, 500 years. Many projects and arts envisioned our "future"s, now long-gone (1800s, 1900s, 1950s-1980s ~ y2k).

Idealised future (now past) can consist of:

Topics: pro-freedom hackers, cyberpunk, "long bloom", "promised 80s neverland", (once upon a time-space - Barrille) futures; human-library-utopic, free world, calm, pre-9/11 dreams (y2k), new ways-opportunities-progress, tech = (as) saviour, "gay space free commie", unity-community-mutual help-understanding, econ. boom, "kids are alright"/no real deal, small media-only, man vs himself/bad habits (spooks?), theories of mind and research (everything is relative > no meaning, or value > nihilism); slow steady steps, new school(s) of thought, "kids = (are) future", "we build this city"/people-first, man-gov collab. ~mutual help/or, liberation...

waisted summers was so obviously written by janitor ai or something, you didn’t even bother to edit out where it repeats itself 💀

bro ur funny this is a first omg

this kinda feels like a compliment on some “ur work must be ai” but i seen fics on here written openly w ai and it’s not too sweet is all i will say. (i don’t shame if you use but like….don’t fuel why writers are on strike) but nah.. i add repeats of dialogue as well as descriptions because i feel like i don’t get my point across and also i feel when certain comments repeat are more natural especially for teens because ik i repeat myself not just irl but in my writing because i havw trouble thinking of words without google and this fic was a sloppy one in terms of writing it every day in bit and pieces

idk if you use janitor ai tho i suggest you stop because i heard it got hacked or something and people got doxxed and also probably shouldn’t say this to other people because it could undermine the work they put in

but if it eases your mind here is the doc info i used cus i was writing wasted summers for way longer than i intended 😕

i have other words you could look at to like kiss it better or can’t sleep without you that’s shorter you can look at

[brisquad-unit-4402]

Man you've got me giggling, squealing, kicking my feet, punching the air, and rolling in my bed over your last Ike fic it's sO CUTEEEEE 🥺🥺🥺💙💙💙

The way you write is amazing frfr you're really inspiring! I like to study your writing for reference whenever I want to write stories(I hope that's okay? I saw your last post about the AI thing), especially for 2nd POVs iT'S SO GOOD AIBSJSBSJBS

Also hOW do you draw so good in MS Paint 😭 I can barely draw a head in an actual drawing program 🥲

Sorry for the long ask I just have a bunch of stuff I wanna say, have an amazing day!

(Last question, sorry×2, but do you have an anon list? Just curious)

sobs and sobs and sobs, thank youuuu for reading and enjoying my fic!

i'm totally cool with being inspired by my fics and using it as reference! the ai thing is against my rules because it's basically stealing the words i put hours of effort into writing, and because even though i'm a fic writer i don't want my ideas nor writing style absorbed into the algorithm, you know? taking inspiration and/or using other stuff as references for what you wanna write is inevitable though, and a natural process of being a writer. i'm fine with that, and super flattered by it! as long as it isn't a 1:1 copy of my stories i'll be happy to hear i inspired you

ESPECIALLY FOR 2ND POV. DUDE. when i first started writing x readers with 2nd pov i religiously studied my favorite fics/hcs in the genre because imo, it's my most difficult pov to write in as opposed to 1st or 3rd. i love writing it esp because of the ambiguity (the less i refer to you as Reader, the better imo, in case that interrupts someone's immersion) but it's definitely a pov where you have to get creative. the amount of times i've started a sentence with you/he/she/they...

nyehe i just like doodlin but i only have a mouse at vsf hq. brisquad units make do

(also yes i have an anon list, you can see the list at the bottom of my masterpost. thank you for the very sweet ask i love hearing from you guys, please have a good day too!)

[benetnvsch]

hmm,, ik this is different than my usual posting but I want to break this down as I notice a lot of this is not really correctly understood/misinformation !!

I get it, as an artist, at a surface this stuff seems very scary but there is FAR more to machine learning than just AI Art so imma say some of my thoughts here to hopefully help ppl understand a bit more what's going on :>

First post/TOS

Referencing the first few posts, in terms of the TOS bit, this is actually standard for ANY site that hosts and shares data !!

Below are some I found real quick with the same/similar clauses ! From instagram, tiktok, and Tumblr itself respectively, with the bit worded similar highlighted

Even Bluesky- a site treated like a hail Mary in the face of AI- has a similar clause where they state they have royalty free rights to modify host and distribute your content !!

As you can see, very standard !! it's necessary for sites that allow you to publish and other to interact with, lemme break down some of the terms and how these app do these things with your art/content:

storing data - > allowing you to keep content uploaded (Ex. comments)

publishing -> allowing you to post content

redistributing -> allowing others to share content

modify -> automatic cropping, in app editing, dropping quality, etc.

creating derivative works -> reblogs with comments, quote retweets where people add stuff to your work

While these terms may seems intimidating, they are basically just tech jargon for the specific terms we know used for legal purposes, once more, simply industry standard :)

Saying that Twitter 'published stored modified and then created a derivative work of my data without paying me' sounds way more awful than saying 'I posted my fanart to twitter (which dropped the quality and my friend quote-tweeted it with 'cool-art' '

Second Post / Privacy Policy

Now onto the second part, this is a bit more messy.

Firstly, I want to say that that is the only section in twitter's privacy policy where AI /machine learning is mentioned in the privacy policy and the section it is is one about how twitter uses data specifically how it uses what you post to improve and personalize twitter services.

Secondly, I do want to want to acknowledge that Elon Musk /twitter does have an AI development company, Xai. This company works in the development of AI and is working on making an AI similar to chatgpt as far as I'm aware with a focus on solving complex mathematics- a significant difference than art but very valid if you're still concerned about it.

Back to the screenshot provided, I know at a glance the red underlined text where it says it uses information collected to improve products and services but it specifically states 'for the purposes outlined in this policy' right after. What are these purposes? Lets look a bit closer at the screenshot. Right before it states it uses information collected to "operate X products and services" by using this information to do things like better suggest followers and topics, recommend affiliates, target ads, etc.

For example, if I were to post an image of a dog, an AI may see and recognize the dog in my image and then suggest me more dog content! This type of AI image scanning, once more, is common in a lot of media sites such as Tumblr, insta, and tiktok, as shown below once more.

Again, as afar as I'm aware, this type of machine learning is to improve/streamline twitter's recommendation algorithm and not to produce generative content as that would need to be disclaimed !!

Claiming that twitter is now using art to train AI models therefore is somewhat misleading as yes, it is technically doing that, it does scan the images you post including art. However, it is NOT doing it to learn how to draw/generate new content but to scan and recognize objects/settings/etc better so it can do what social media does best, push more products to you and earn more money.

(also as a personal tangent, AI art cannot be copywriter and therefore selling it would be a very messy area, I do not think a company driven by profit and greed would invest so much in such a legally grey area)

Machine learning is a vast field , encompassing WAY More than just art. Please don't jump to assume just because AI is mentioned in a privacy policy that that means twitter is training a generative AI when everything else points to it being used for content moderation and profit like every other site uses it

Perhaps one day twitter will use user's content to develop/train a generative art AI but for now it is just scanning your images- all of them- art or not- for recognizable content to sell for you and to improve that algorithm to better recognize stuff, the same way Tumblr does that but to detect if there's any nsfw elements in images.

Impact on Artists

Everyone has a right to their own opinion / limits on what type of AI services and the amount of data collections they are comfortable with and they have every right to jump ship if ever too uncomfortable

However, when they lie about what the TOS/privacy policy says and means and discourage artists from using twitter and spread fear mongering posts, they're are only making things worse for artists with no where to go. Yes twitter sucks but the sad reality is that it's the only option a lot of artists have and forcing them away from that and scary away potential audiences for something that isn't even happening yet can be incredibly harmful, especially since there's not really a good replacement for it.

There's many ways you can protect your art from AI (complex patterned watermarks, glaze it, etc) too and if we as artists want any chance of fighting back against AI we have to stay vocal and actively fight against those who are pushing it and not jump ship at the first sign of ANY machine learning on websites we use.

Okay so I've spent the last three days almost exclusively playing portal 1 and 2, and I've so many thoughts.

First off, portal 2 is literally a perfect sequel. Expands on the first game not only in terms of game play, but also lore. There's a huge amount more game to play, and a far stronger element of exploration to the game, which adds to the out of the box thinking the game loves to promote. Portal 1, while I love it, really just sets up the basic idea of how to use portals and boxes, it's portal 2 that truly goes ham, not only expanding on these two basic elements, but also inventing more complex materials to work with.

Portal 1 also has very scarce lore; Rattmans caves, Glados having killed everyone else in the facility, and the sentience of the turrets/companion cube being the main few points. In comparison, portal 2 is chock full of a story that is paced beautifully.

Second, the theme of loneliness in the story is so heart wrenching when you think abt it for more than a second. Portal 1 is lonely in the sense that (as far as you know), you are completely alone in a testing facility because of a recently gone-rogue AI. (Yes ik Rattman is in fact alive throughout the first game but there's no way for the player to know this given that he never physically appears. It's only through the comics that we learn abt him properly).

But portal 2 drives the loneliness factor to the Max. Not only are you still trapped in the place you fought so hard to escape, you are now in a future you don't recognise. You're fighting to escape more on principle than anything else by now, because what is there to escape to? The outside world isn't your home anymore, nowhere is. The closest thing you have left is a testing facility in which you will certainly be killed if you stay too long.

You have no one truly on your side, ever. Wheatley is the closest the game ever comes to giving you an actual companion, and he immediately betrays you the first chance he gets. You're forced to work alongside your worst enemy, knowing she will probably destroy you immediately upon victory over Wheatley. Even when she doesn't, you only survive because of her mercy, she could easily have killed you a thousand times over, as the final few scenes of the game prove.

And then there's Cave and Caroline. A lonely man who's dying voice has been left to play through the abandoned salt mines turned testing facility. His original work lies discarded, centuries of science rest destroyed in layers all the way up to the surface.

Caroline is held in your hand most of the way through the salt mines, though neither you or her have any way of realising this until halfway through. Caroline, one of the few humans Cave loved, has become inhuman in his death, through his orders. Caroline doesn't even remember herself, let alone the man who preserved some level of her essence.

One thing I think portal 1 does better is the way in which the structure of the testing chambers emphasise your loneliness. The windows through which you are so clearly meant to be observed, the abandoned mad man's dens hidden in the walls. The absence of people is felt to keenly

Third, the expansion of the relationship between Chell and Glados in portal 2 is so profound. Portal 1 establishes that Glados hates your guts, but she's clearly intrigued by you in a way she just cannot let go of. So many of her decisions are irrational regarding you. Yes, it is built into Glados to want to test, but portal 2 proves that she can build robots capable of doing so, and was in the process of doing just that even in portal 1. Keeping you around to test on is inviting problems to her doorstep, and she does it anyways. And even after you attempt to kill her, her final act before collapsing herself is to preserve you in a cryo chamber rather than destroy you.

And portal 2 makes it even more clear that Glados is drawn to Chell in a way she cannot help or deny. She keeps Chell around to test on even after she's proved herself to be a borderline unstoppable nuisance, she attempts to spend her precious few facilities to talk to you while in potato form, and again, she doesn't kill you at the end, but let's you go.

Her insults in this game have a clearly fond edge to them, and her greeting of you when you both meet again is so full of emotion.

Fourth, the continued theme of AI intelligence is so fascinating. The oracle turret, the defective turrets, Wheatley, and all the funky weird little cores at the end are such fascinating additions to the game. The first portal introduced the concept of the turrets (and potentially companion cubes) being sentient, but didn't do much with it apart from making the turrets creepy (and also hauntingly sad) with their limited dialogue. But portal 2 opens up so many new pathways by making exceptions to this in the previously mentioned defective and oracle turrets. Even Wheatley is a fascinating addition, he's so full of personality in a way that is diametrically opposed to Glados.

Fifth, the continued presence of Rattman and his obsession with Chell is so haunting, especially if, like me, you only read the comics after playing both games. I thought this man was still alive until fairly recently when first playing the game, and some of the artwork by him at the start of the game does seem to imply this.

Just. Ugh. Portal strings together the bare bones of narratives so perfectly. The history of every character is so long and completely not fleshed out, all we ever see is the briefest glance of any of them. We see the most of Chell and Glados, but even then it's clear we're meeting them after a long life filled with god knows what. Perfect

Anyways. No one's gonna read this, let alone see it, but I needed to get this out and document it somewhere so here I am
