Check this bullshit out
Some of you might know that this is my personal blog. I also have a business blog for my art. It's not fandom art, so I don't talk about it or link it here. I just discovered that 479 of my images have been used to train AI. Most of the works are between 2009 and 2020, for some reason, and a LOT of them came off pinterest, some from redbubble indirectly, via ArtFire (which I don't think exists anymore, but would be the right time frame, so the Rb stuff is from using their thumbnails with watermark there, more recent stuff I've put on Rb after I closed my ArtFire storefront is not coming up. I used to use a watermarked image from Rb to point people towards prints if they preferred that over an original)
So I used this site
https://haveibeentrained.com/
Here's what you should do if you are worried about this.
Use that link and make a profile, it's free.
Type your name into the search feature (or whatever name you used in your image meta data or art web presence)
Wait --it will might take a few tries to get the list to populate, if it comes back saying it can't find anything, wait a few minutes and try again. Once it starts populating, let it finish, this could take a while. my 479 works took it about 5 minutes to load all the way and the option to opt out won't come up until the search is done. Right click on each image (or long press on mobile) and choose "add to opt-out"
Now, once you are done opting all these works out I strongly suggest you yoink all your shit down off of pinterest. And BLOCK pinterest shares on your art sites. (For me, pinterest was the largest offender)
Has the horse already bolted?
Yes, for these particular works. But this gives you a record of saying I do not and did not consent to this. Meaning: further down the road, if legal restitution happens, you have some proof.
After you upload new work, going forward, check back a few times, over the course of a month or so, and if the new work comes up, find out how by clicking on the image and following the source link. This will take you to the site that is feeding your stuff to the monster. If you have an account on that site, remove your content and close your profile.
This site checks for writing too. Make sure to check under your pen name for your writing too!
If you do NOT have an account on that site, it's time to whip out the old DMCA dance

Gotta love the breathless, wall-to-wall news coverage of Trump's announcement from the news media that apparently has learned abso-fucking-lute-ly nothing from the past seven years.

What physical part(s) of Arsay does her partners find the most attractive! Is it the same for all partners or does it differ between them?
(also optional bonus ask of what part(s) of/about Arsay generally do they love the most, physical or not!)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Meanwhile, if you were to ask the same of Arsay:
Tumblr media
#ffxiv#wolship#g'raha tia#y'shtola rhul#wolgraha#wolshtola#y'shtola x wol#arsay nun#graharshtola#y'shtola calling arsay a pain in her side is very much an affectionate thing btw#and i couldnt pass up the joke of g'raha giving the sweet gentlemanly response only for yshtola to be like 'tits tbh'#her defaulting to an answer that would probably stop the conversation before she has to talk to much about her deeper feelings imo#i have. a lot of feelings about yshtola and arsay's friendship#someone who is constantly trying to build walls between herself and others vs someone who desperately wants to form real connections#its not a 'wearing that person down' type situation either#just one lonely person seeing another lonely person and hoping that they could be less lonely together#or that she could at least bring some cheer to#and idk yshtola strikes me as the type to have been like 'if they want to be my friend they have to work for it'#which arsay certainly did#i could ramble on and on how their friendship lines up so well with yshtolas character development but theres a limit to these tags#so just look at how cute shtola is with the slightest blush on her cheeks#graha is a much more complicated topic since he went from Extreme adoration to I want to be her friend but I dont think im good enough#to 100% Hero worship again to Shes my hero and I love her to Shes a person and I love her#to I love Arsay. Even the parts she can't love in herself. I will love all of her till my dying breath.#he thinks shes the most beautiful person in the world and the most important thing in his life#but he now knows how insane she's been about being everyone's hero and he really doesnt want to feed that beast#so hes trying to build her up in other ways#focusing more on the adventuring side than the saving the world side#and then there is arsay who loves so much about her partners and is in capable of narrowing it down to any one thing so its#'here let me list everything that comes to mind right now' with 0 shame or filter

i'm sorry you aren't able to pay for watcher's new service. it was a tough decision for me too - i'm unemployed right now and had to look at my savings and decide to skip on buying a few things - but in the end i chose to support them. there are fans sharing accounts and gifting subs. some people in the fandom want to help with solutions but you can't hear them over everyone blaming watcher for suddenly being in the 1% somehow?? (they're not) this is still in beta mode so we all need to take a breath and see what they announce after seeing the feedback. but watcher didn't ruin the economy and make it so hard for people to get welfare and help - you need to contact some government officials for that - not shane's wife
You are fundimentally missing the point. And why are you feeding a problem when they have clearly show they dont respect their fans with their silence, and their employees and spouses snide comments.
The watcher hate train that you think is clouding my thoughts simply isnt. I look at other fans to see if i my perception is more then just automatic frustration. And its not. I think alot. I get heated when i feel theres injustice. But i think through every single thing in this situation for flaws in my own logic because i know people like you will say i am blowing out of proportion. dont patronize me with those arguements.
Yeah governement stuff isnt their fault but they know where the world is. Or atleast they should and they are choosing to bleeding their fans dry. I never said they were the 1% but they are rich. Being rich doesnt automatically put you in the 1 percent but it does give you a leg up to being safe.
I took a breath. I took a whole breath today and lived my life on an extremely small trip on a train. To get free samples from an event with a discounted ticket. I bought a single nice thing that i wanted and for the first time in three days i didnt think about this shit show.
I wanted to support them but seeing as they dont care that they are making
1. A bad decision that everyone except people like you can see
2. Using a base platform that is notoriously unfriendly to creators
3. Didnt respect their fans enough to do market research and give us a finished product or a timeline for things moving forward
4. Act like they are drowning while they are on a yacht. And show that yacht to the people they kicked out of a lifeboat. Then blame us for needing to get a slightly smaller yacht. (This is an analogy)
Its not the same.
3 shows i like is not worth. 6 dollars.
I dont want Sara rubin's fucking help. I am saying she is showing the reality. That these people dont care. Its a common fact of todays world that very few youtubers actually care. That you giving them 6 dollars for a thing that has never worked in the long term unless years of effort and research is put into it. And you are on unemployment? I dont know.
You are the ones that dont see the reality.
But like i said in my post. I respect that humans can do whatever they want. I just think you should think and ask questions and when you dont get clear answers. Wonder why.
All of this mess is something you need to watch before you jump.
I simply chose to step away from the cliff because i saw sharks in the water.
EDIT: some parts in this feel unfinished. I am tired and working on very little sleep because of how my brain has chosen to process this situation. I wont update this post with corrections unless someone can give me a hard reason to.

You are my favorite dream, Kay. I yearn to live in sleep so that I may have you in your arms for a moment longer, even if I am perceived as a separate version of myself. I will be a thousand facsimiles of who I could never be if it meant seeing you smile. I love you.
- Zayne, known to you as Dawnbreaker
I-
Dawnb- I mean- Zayne!? Oh my goodness please, it hurts my heart so much to know we can only be together in a dream. And forgive my indiscretion, you're right. You are, and always will be, Zayne. Whatever parts of you I can have and hold, I will piece back together. I will be a thousand hands to gather every fragment in my arms until you are whole, and then I will be the softest place for you to rest.
I love you too.
-Kay💜

Reblogged a post on my main about how fandom sometimes forgets what’s a headcanon and what’s actually canon and it got me thinking about Aizawa’s characterization, specifically in relation to Class 1-A and how “dadzawa” just gets on my fucking nerves.
I think in general Aizawa isn’t someone who’s willing to step outside the bounds of a proper student-teacher relationship, he’s much more likely to remain aloof with a strict no-nonsense teaching style like what was seen in the first few U.A. arcs. I think it was simply external circumstance and the fact that Class 1-A is a bunch of bonkers wild high schoolers that made him take a step up from his usual style and offer more emotional support to the kids later down the line. He’s trained as a Pro Hero and a teacher, two jobs which require both mental fortitude and compassion for others, and Class 1-A just happens to be a group of students he meshed well with in the beginning, and as the series went along and things became more intense he recognized when those kids needed emotional support as well, but I don’t think it ever really crossed the line from how a teacher or hero would care for them vs how a parent would. I’m also willing to bet most of the kids whose families we haven’t seen are already fairly emotionally supportive. I don’t think very many of them are actively looking for a pseudo-parental replacement in Aizawa to begin with.
This isn’t to say I think all “dadzawa” fics or headcanons should be razed to the ground I just think people sometimes read an adult genuinely caring about a child under their care and protection and turn off their brains and close their eyes and slap the “dad/mom” label onto them far too often. Aizawa has Eri and while I think her story was also dropped too soon for as much emotional weight and narrative potential she has, I like to think she was his first real step into fully taking care of a kid who looks to him for support in all aspects of her life that he can’t just keep at arm’s length or be his normally-strict and coldly logical personality around.
You can add nuance to character relationships and personalities while also not straying from their core principles it doesn’t hurt I promise

Hi hi!
I wanted to come check on you! Have you remembered to eat today? And have you drank water? And have you drank water in the past hour? If not please do!!
Also I was wondering what was the first fandom you got into? When did you start watching anime? Also when did you start one piece and how far along are you? I've been hesitant to watch one piece since it's like 1,000 episodes! -🪽
Hello again, lovely 🪽 anon! Yes, I have eaten and had plenty of water :) Thank you for checking on me 💜💜 Are you taking care of yourself?? I sure hope so~
Ooof...I think the first anime was either Sailor Moon or Hamtaro but I wasn't really deep in the fandoms (I think I was 5 or 6). So...I think the first fandom I was really into was DBZ. It's so nostalgic for me. I remember spending hours drawing the characters. My older brother and I were both super into it, so it was a huge bonding experience for us. There was one summer when we spent so many late nights binge watching it, playing the video games, going on late night drives to the store to buy more of the video games...So the anime still has such a special place in my heart.
I know exactly what you mean! That number is so intimidating and it was for me too! I started watching it in mid-December and am caught up with the anime. It's funny though...I put off watching One Piece for so long, but when I started watching it (maybe around episode 400) I was sad because it didn't feel long enough.

I think I need to start knowing what I want. And stop letting myself slide into situations because they happen.

Me: These silly little stories make me so happy haha they're my lifeblood! Anxiety: You're okay with someone else debasing themselves in public—broadcasted to the world, even—so you can giggle and gawp at them, are you? Me: What? Anxiety: Look at these poor people, dancing like monkeys for your entertainment. Don't you think there are more dignified roles for them to play than pandering to your infantilising and emasculating whims? Just because they once stepped in a puddle that was apparently infested with leeches like you, so now they're forced to carry that cross Forevvah. Me: Wooow sexist much, drama queen? You know that Paul McGann literally said this recently:
youtube
Also they. chose to become actors? It's their job? That they wanted to do?? That they're paid for??? Anxiety: Sadist.

i think something that’s really hard for me to like put into words is like the idea that my gender presentation everything about it every aspect i choose to DO WITH IT is INHERENTLY QUEER
like like it shouldn’t be hard to get but it’s like
okay okay like fucking when i’m putting on nail polish wearing “feminine” colors fucking participating SOCIETAL PERCEIVED acts of just like womanly/feminine-ness as a AFAB person people will just think i’m just acting in line with my PERCEIVED GENDER
BUT TO ME TO ME THIS SHIT IS CAMP IM DOING THIS THROUGH A QUEER LENSE I AM PAINTING MY NAILS GAYLY I AM NOT ACTING WITHIN MY GENDER AT ALL
and not in a “oh this feels wrong why am i doing this” way but in a the way i feel and present is most of the time very masc and/or there’s no gender attached to me at all i’m just me im just vibing
and it’s like cuz i’m gender fluid on those days, hours, moments were i DO feel feminine and i do dress act present more feminine there’s this portion of people in my life and just society as a whole who just see me as like a “girl” finally acting the way i “should” BUT NO BECAUSE THIS PRESENTATION??? THIS SHOW??? WAKE UP FUCKERS THIS IS ALSO GAY AS FUCK TOO THIS IS ALSO TRANS AS FUCK TOO
I AM PERFORMING AT GENDER AT EVERY SINGLE INSTANCE OF MY LIFE GENDER IS IM MY OPINION A FEELING A MOMENT A BLANK FUCKING CANVAS AND I ME AM JUST THROWING WHATEVER THE HELL I WANT ON IT WHEN I FEEL LIKE IT AND EVERY SINGLE THING I DO WITH IT IS GAY AS SHIT

one of the hosts of the daily zeitgeist tried to enter an accord with local crows by feeding them nuts. He missed a day and they destroyed his outdoor table umbrella.
