i'm coming out of hiding to say WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK JAKE

[builder051]

I have a Creedless Assassins fic in my drafts. It’s way not done, but I want to flush out the idea. It’ll go up…whenever.

Also, it’s crazy late to be showing off my Christmas presents, but take a look at my “Stucky wall!” I usually have a backpack on me for my feeding pump, and the Loungefly variety is actually really durable. I’ve had Winter Soldier for a couple years, and this year DD gifted me the Cap! Perfect match. I love my piece of wall so much.

A couple of changes

Hey all!

We've passed a couple of big milestones recently (Our 1000th rec! 5000 likes on tumblr! 69th themed week!), which seems like a good time to make a couple of changes!

The first, and biggest one: We're opening up recs to the general public! They'll work similar to the way that the gen recs and the not-quite-rarepair recs work - read the rules, prove that you've read the rules by submitting the password that's embedded in them, and then submit the rec. It's not foolproof, but it keeps bots away and hopefully convinces people.

We're doing this because, to be honest, two of the three people who are involved in this reclist aren't all that active on the discord this reclist is associated with, and I (Opera) think the reclist can be better if it has more voices involved, which means expanding the reccing pool.

Because of #1: 

2. We're changing the rules slightly. 

So, this reclist is anonymous. Unless you mention who you are in the comments of the rec itself, then we have no way of knowing who recced it.  Which in some ways is great! But it also means that when there's a potential issue, we can't send a quick DM to maybe clear things up.

One of the reasons why I was so hesitant about opening this up to everyone was that people tend to give people they share a community with more grace and good faith than randos, and because when there was an issue, I could put a message in the discord and - well, it didn't feel great, but at least it felt less like a call out post than putting it on tumblr where everyone can see it.

So, this is going to take some trust, but this is what we're going to do:

a. We will not allow any rec that is deemed, without a questionable doubt by the mods to be racist, transphobic, or mean spirited towards the work itself or the other works in the fandom. If the part that is racist, transphobic, or mean spirited can be excised without deleting the entire rec, we will do so. Otherwise, we'll remove it.

To be clear, we will still allow works that feature racism (for example, characters dealing with fantasy racism) or transphobia - it's that the rec itself should not be.

b. We will also remove any rec by author request. I've been hesitant to do this in the past, and we're not really equipped to ban any author from being recced, but will be willing to do so on a case by case basis.

c. When making a change, the default will be to make a change quietly. If you notice something's up, you can DM @operafloozy or @theusualjasper and we will let you know privately. I'm all for transparency, but announcing that someone was being weird on a rec on tumblr (where it can't be easily contained) is probably going to lead to bad feelings all around.

d. We're going to ask that everyone take things with as much good faith and grace as possible. I really, really don't want to remove anything, and this is asking folks who don't know the mods to trust us. I also don't want this reclist to become a vehicle of bullying or transphobia, but also I don't want people to get paranoid about their rec not being good enough or secretly transphobic somehow.

3. Also, we're putting the first ten themes back into the randomizer to be picked. It's been nearly two years, and we're down to only twelve unpicked themes. After ten weeks, we'll add the next ten themes back in, and so on.

Those themes are:

Cozy

Getting Nerdy About Magic

Professor Widogast

Culture Differences

Canon Divergent AU

Featuring Essek's Parents

Featuring Verin

Scourger/Evil AU

Featuring Astrid/Eadwulf

Wild Magic

Sorry for the absence guys, the last days have been kinda hard for me to deal with. Too much personal stuff going on I guess…

Sometimes you just need to chill with your non-cyberized, non-tekunin, fully human, no BS Lin Kuei F/O. (Avec some pink pillows because why the hell not, really).

On the good side, I’ve been watching Mortal Kombat Legacy for the first time, and there are several things that I liked!!

The episode about the cyber initiative was really good, and it kinda made me feel stuff for Cyrax too? Not that I wasn't into him, it's more like it “inspired” me.

But oh well, there are many things about that chapter that I liked, I also think Sektor wasn't that convinced about this, he was just expected to. And Cyrax did give him one last opportunity to escape when they were in the car. I don't know…

The one about Scorpion’s past was good too! I loved that Bi-Han!

Sadly, I guess there wasn't enough budget to make the Lin Kuei actually talk in Chinese. But oh, well…

I’ll still post the Kuai Liang that I did, it's just that I wanted to make something a little bit better.

See you in another post!

Hello! I have a question, not a request.

When you first watched the Diabolik Lovers anime or played the video game, what was the first thing you thought about each Sakamaki brother?

I actually read part of the manga first, and somewhat on accident, at that. XD I don't remember all of my initial impressions, but...

Shuu — Don't remember, I don't think I cared for him much

Reiji — Ah, a classic "cold/mean megane" type. :/

Ayato — I think I mostly just found him annoying??

Kanato — Awwwwwwww cuteeeeeee, such a brat!!

Laito — Oh I hate this guy already! :D *wants to hurt him*

Subaru — Halfway between "lmao edgelord" and "owo" at his obvious emotional distress.

Happy Halloween to you, bestieee! Long time no seeeee! Have some candies 🥰💖

Baroness' Self-Pub Journal Masterpost

Okay! So as promised I wanted to semi-journal the things I uncover as I do more research for self-publication of my novel. I'll be using the tag "#sp journal" for those who want to follow or, alternatively, blacklist it, though I couldn't tell you how frequently I'll be posting and thus whether it'll annoy you.

This journal will eventually wind up as part of a larger guide I'm making notes for, as well, so hopefully it can present everything I learn in a more functional way for others' benefit!

A disclaimer: There's a lot of info out there, and I am certainly a novice at this. This is also more stream-of-consciousness/anecdotal, so bear in mind info can change, as can my opinion. I.e., don't take any of this as gospel -- at this stage or later, when I compile it all and am better-able to self-reflect -- if it's something you're exploring for yourself.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ MASTERPOST Entry 1: First Impressions -- 12/24/24 Entry 2: Market Research -- 12/26/24 Entry 3: What is Certain -- 12/28/24 Entry 4: A Question of Ethics -- 12/31/24 Entry 5: Ballparks -- 1/3/25 Entry 6: Scholarly Rigor -- 1/6/25 Entry 7: We're All Just Mammals -- 1/9/25 Entry 8: Snowball Instigator -- 1/15/25 Entry 9: Like Cold Oatmeal -- 1/24/25 ++++ Bonus Calendar Snapshot Entry 10: Current and Prospective Woe -- 1/31/25 Entry 11: Forests and Trees -- 2/6/25

[ameliapodcast]

Idk if "trolls in our inbox" refers to my previous ask but I'm genuinely asking. Ur podcast seems really cool and I would love to start it but I've heard that uve used ai art for promotional material and for patreon exclusive stuff. I believe that the use of ai art is unethical so I would not start ur podcast if that is the case but if that's changed I really would like to get into ur podcast. Again I mean no harm and I apologise if I come off as rude in any way <3

As far as I understand, an AI-generated image was used as the reference/basis for the background of the artwork for a miniseries, by our graphic designer. This was a couple months ago. We actually have a fully-paid graphic designer who does all of our art (Anders Petersen). This has been resolved, and no more AI was used and will be used by us.

So the answer is no, we don't use AI-generated "art" anymore, for very much the same reason as you named.

EDIT: We also replaced the image at all :)

I was not aware of that, and given we have been getting some trolls recently, my post was more about the fact that these trolls are happening, and I am not giving them space on this blog. I wasn't specifically referring to your ask, but I'll rather answer this one to explain. I'm sorry you got caught up in this <3 I'm just trying to keep this blog a fun and interactive space, and I don't want to disable anon asks. So I usually, when the trolls are happening, end up just making a post going "I am actively ignoring you" in one variation or other.
