#TECH IS SO :) AND :( CODED YOU DONT UNDERSTAND

[clownery-and-fuckery]

TechPhee headcannons?? These are a bit random I just wanted to throw them out

- When Phee wants Tech to pay attention to her she'll give his belt a little tug and say "c'mere" before telling him what she wanted to

- When Tech wants Phee to pay attention to him he awkwardly stand over her and stare until she looks up and he'll immediately just go ":)" and launch into whatever it was he wanted before she can question how long he was standing over her for

- Tech will reach for her hand in large crowds so she can take them wherever while he reads his datapad and she's always careful to warn him when they're turning/going down a curb

- Phee taught Tech how to "negotiate" (read: straight gaslight) and the only time he's ever had to do it was one time when Phee and Wrecker wanted to go to the bar during a mission and Tech was bribed into letting them, the conversation with Hunter went a little like:

Hunter, over comm: Where's Phee and Wrecker?

Tech, answering: In position

Hunter: ...I'm literally standing where they're meant to be and they're not here

Tech: yes they are

Hunter: I- what?? No, they arent—

Tech: yes they are, you're in the wrong place

Echo and Crosshair dying in the background:

Hunter: Im-... what????

- Hunter killed them for that

- Phee's got a real taste for spicy stuff, and forgets others aren't so tolerant- Tech's got a crazy sweet tooth, and they once had their meals switched. There was chaos.

- while phee is technically supposed to be their pirate(liberator) negotiator, she tends to fly off the handle a lot, and Tech more often than not watches her threaten to burn a lot of places down before carrying her out of a gun fight

- (on one occasion he calmly let her go and watched her pull through on those threats after they told him to "keep her down")

- Tech's kisses are quick and short. He gives her little pecks while no one's looking and most of the time theyre aimed at her cheeks/forehead- he doesn't do a lot of PDA but he gets VERY affectionate while he's tired:))

- Phee is the OPPOSITE. She will kiss him everywhere anywhere she has no qualms and she LOVES kissing his lips and neck(it's easier to reach) and she ESPECIALLY loves pulling him down for a long kiss when she KNOWS her future brother-in-laws are already bitching about them

- while being insanely competitive(idk why, he literally never loses-) he still let's Phee win sabbacc sometimes, and always sits back and let's her brag and just ":) yay good job" while she calls him a BIG LOSER (he thinks he's secretly winning because she always smiles when she wins)

- Phee knows he lets her win

- they sing and dance while they do jobs together. Fixing the Marauder? Not without background music. Cleaning up after Wrecker and Omega's attempts at baking? Gotta have some ambiance turn the holo up. Even as far as a covert mission??? Phee catches Tech humming while he sets the charges and can't help but blow their cover laughing hysterically

- phee knows and hates hondo. she'd punch him for maybe a half credit.

- tech thinks he's delightfully charming :)

- the three of them get along fine until tech leaves the room. he can never guess why they always smile at him when he looks at them??

- phee(jokingly) asked hunter permission to marry tech at dinner, and got so offended when he said no, she decided to ask tech for REAL

- (he said yes btw)

I have like a MILLION more but I'll cut her there for now- PLEASE if you have more, add them!!!! Ok byeeee <3

Wade Winston Wilson and Tony 'I am Iron man' Stark

I think a lot of people forget just how incredibly smart Deadpool is. This man was in the special forces, You dont get there by being stupid. Now, I know he was discharged but still. It's been proven over and over again that this man can put together an amazing plan and is a very quick thinker- Now: Give me Wade who knows how everyone sees him, Stupid, loud, annoying and lets them think that way. Give me Wade who's scared of showing that he can have a coherent thought even after the mutation and after his brain broke and after he started talking to audience. because he's built this facade and it's easier for everyone to expect nothing from him then for them to expect everything because he's scared. Give me Wade whos scared of rejection from not only his friends and family but his coworkers and those he looks up to so he plays the dumb card and the crazy card and he plays it well Give me Wade who thinks with his hands Give me Wade who has very precise hand signals, Some that came over from his special ops days and some that he's made up for himself, to think because his brain is so loud he has to voice every thought or at least make it physical in some way so he doesnt forget it Give me someone who learns his hand signals and uses that to put his ideas into place (backtracking to my later post about Iron man and Deadpool respecting each other) Give me Tony who notices his hand signals and little drawings on the edge of his notepad and voices them for Wade like their his own ideas, Not out of malice or because he wants to steal them but because he believes in Wade and knows he's a smart man Give me Tony who keeps Deadpool behind in meetings to ask for his opinion on the matter and implements that into his plan as well because you cant tell me Wade doesnt know the best way to infiltrate a highly secured base. Give me Wade who's eyes light up everytime his plan works because he's forgotten how smart he actually is Give me Tony who learns Wades hand signs and uses them in battle, like a secret code to each other Give me the others confused by why Tony and Wade are just staring at each other only for Tony to turn to them and tell them they're changing their entire plan Give me Logan or anyone really walking in on one of Wade and Tonys private chats to see Wade, map out, little marks via figurines that Tony made (They're replicas of everyone on the team to help Deadpool visualize better), giving precise and logical ideas and Tony just nodding along Let it be Tony and Wades secret that he's not stupid. He's a smart guy, smarter than a lot of people but the pressure of being smart never appealed to him Give me Wade who asks questions about Tonys tech and Tony asking questions about Deadpools healing factor Give me Tony who allows Deadpool into his lab and lets the man watch him until he falls asleep and Tony just draps a blanket over him Give me Wade and Tony who are two very intelligent but broken people understanding each other and having the others back when no one else will.

[requiemism]

maybe its just because jinx is bpd (or, at least, HEAVILY coded as such) and i have a mood disorder but i truly cannot help but be bewildered by the lack of understanding and empathy towards her character both in the show and in the fandom. shes essentially a broken, manipulated, desperate child- even if shes "grown" now, shes so severely traumatized i sincerely doubt her brain developed properly and she certainly didnt and doesnt have the help required to become a well adjusted stable individual. i dont say this to take away her agency or infantilize her- her actions ARE her choice, and she DOES understand what she is doing. however, despite this, a majority of what shes done has NEVER been in a moment of rational thinking. she only did what she did as powder due to desperation; she threw the bag in the water because she was cornered, she accidentally caused the deaths she did because she didnt understand the tech she had and she was desperate to save her family. everything she does after as jinx is largely due to silcos manipulation, being severely disordered, traumatized, and abandoned, and literally every single person in her life telling her all shes good for is destruction and causing pain. she spends almost her ENTIRE life being told by EVERYONE but the person actively manipulating her that she is incompetent, annoying, destructive and batshit. OBVIOUSLY SHES NOT GOING TO BE NORMAL. OBVIOUSLY SHES GOING TO LOSE IT WHEN THE O N E PERSON SHE HAS LEFT FUCKING DIES BECAUSE SHE ACCIDENTALLY SHOT HIM DURING A PTSD DRIVEN BREAKDOWN CAUSED BY HER GODDAMN SISTER. O B V I O U S L Y SHES GOING TO DO SOMETHING RASH AND IMPULSIVE IN HER MANIC, BROKEN STATE. because now, she has nothing left. she has nothing to lose. shes a jinx, and she ruins everything that she touches, and maybe, just maybe, she can use that to honor her fathers lifelong goal. obviously this goes horribly and backfires on everyone, putting a target on the entire undercitys back, but she ABSOLUTELY wasnt thinking about that when she bombed the goddamn capitol mid breakdown. in season 2, after making this impulsive (and frankly idiotic but thats neither here nor there) decision she lays low, avoiding causing any damage unless necessary (although it IS overkill whenever she does harm people, thats what shes been taught is normal. she literally grew up in the undercity where people are murdered and mugged on a daily basis.) and using every opportunity to scourge her own existence. she VERY clearly hates herself for what shes done, and she certainly doesnt seem to be proud of any of it. i think this is best displayed in the discussion she has with isha when they first meet. when vi and the enforcer squad come after her, shes literally minding her business, making a GIFT for the woman who has repeatedly hurt her because "it was something (she) could fix." she cant even shoot vi when shes actively gassing her, literally CRYING at the thought. the only reason she actively begins attempting to kill her and caitlyn is because THEY'RE DOING THE SAME DAMN THING, and once again she very clearly cant bring herself to do so to vi. even in s1, during the tea party scene, its pretty evident that she doesnt intend to kill vi in my opinion? to make matters worse, when vi tries to kill HER, she practically BEGS her to do it.

i understand that jinx is objectively NOT a good person!!! she has literally killed tens of maybe hundreds of people and yes, she did kill caitlyns mom (although very honestly i could care less about that ngl caitlyn is absolutely a good character but i dont like her as a person for reasons largely unrelated to jinx 😓). she literally builds bombs and guns and whatever the fuck for fun. she enjoys watching people be beaten and killed. but i think the absolute lack of any empathy or understanding towards her a lot of people exhibit is a little ridiculous and it infuriates me to no end 😭 thank you for coming to my autistic ted talk!!!!

Author's Notes: another Banshee POV!!! Some hurt/comfort this day. Sorry it's so short, and not at all what I've been saying I'd write next, but at least it's something.

Taglist: @returnofthepineapple @wizardofrozz @eclec-tech @dystopicjumpsuit @clonethirstingisreal @wings-and-beskar @multi-fan-dom-madness @starrylothcat @n0vqni @sev-on-kamino @mythical-illustrator @523rdrebel @littlemissmanga @atomickidsoul @moonwreckd

"Hey Ban~ Today is day 43 of our tragic separation, you're millions of miles away, and it's not fair. So today at work..."

"Day 55 of "No Banshee hugs for me". Seriously, when are you coming home? I miss you. Anyway, my Tooka came back from the vet today- oh right, I adopted a tooka kitten yesterday, I bet you can't guess what I named him-"

"Day 97, Rai told me you miss me. I just... I wish I could hear it from you. I know, I know it's not easy, I know you don't talk, I just-- I'd do anything to have you with me, just so I could understand that you miss me..."

"Day 122... I wish you'd come home..."

I've been listening to your recordings every day since I was deployed. All 132 of them. Every single day since we left, you sent me a diary of your day, stars I can't tell you how much I needed every single one of those. Running through battle fire, hearing you laugh about what "Banbino" was doing. I can't believe you named your tooka after me.

I've thought about you every second of the days. How your hair is tossed in the morning, how you scrunch your nose at how I make Caf... don't be mad, but I still haven't learned how to make it proper. The way your voice sounds and feels when you put my hands on your throat and chest, so I can feel every way you say you love me... I've thought about being with you again since the second I turned to leave 132 days ago.

So why am I stuck behind your front door? I can't even raise my hand to knock. Can't even enter the code to your flat... it's my number, you told me that so long ago now... I've been keeping track, I know it's your day off, I know you're just right behind this damn door so why can't I open it!? Come on Banshee! Open the door! Open the damn door, they're right on the other side, just open--

I... I heard that. Did you fall? Are you hurt? No, no don't be hurt I'm so bad at medical. C'mon, karkin' door open! Remind me to fix your locks, I'll replace them, I swear. Oh fuck, the hinges too, I uh... I kicked a little too hard, I think...

"Ban...?" You're crying... why... why are you crying?

When you hold your arms out to me, I dont even take a full step forward before you recoil and cover your face with a racking sob. I don't stop moving. I can't, you need me. I get to one knee behind you and gently rub your back, but it only makes you curl in on yourself more... what can I do for you?

Carefully I sit behind you, and collect you up in my arms, your back pressed to my chest. With my helmet off, I put my head on your shoulder, "I've got you, Cyare... I'm here."

You sound like me a moment, trying to talk, trying to force words. I shush you, leaning my head on yours and swaying softly. Eventually, you turn around, and bury your face in my neck. When I hum, you start to relax in my arms, and eventually, I can't help the little chuckle in my throat. You're snoring... Stars I love you.

It's another hour before you wake up. I moved us to your bed, and had since changed into the civvies you'd gotten me. Softer clothes, I figured you'd like it more than my hard armor...

"Banshee? You're... you're really home? I'm s-sorry, I'm sorry for-- I-I was just- I was so--" your blush when I press my lips to yours, it's so warm I could feel it on my own skin.

"I... it's okay, y-you don't ha-have to expl-pl-plain." Your eyes shine at the sound of my voice... I wish I could talk better, I'd speak for you all the time. "I've g-got you, Cyare."

You nod and set your head back on my chest. As I hum again, you join in, mumbling the words under your breath when you feel up to it. Take your time, Cyare. I know how hard it is to talk, I'm not going anywhere.

TMAGP EP 17 REACTION (SPOILERS)

CELIA GIRL WHAT THE FUCK. WHAT DO YOU MEAN AGAIN WHAT IS IT WITH YOU AND WAKING UP ON VEHICULAR ROADWAYS

So she woke up in Oxford that's what I'm hearing. Does girlie go dimension hopping in her sleep but wake up in random places bc of it???

The way Celia said "absolutely" just gave me butterflies also Sam MOVE Alice is right you're like a baby foal now let me show you have to rizz up a milf-

Celia girl what is GOING ON

MAGNUS STATEMENT???? HEY HEY NOW WHAT THE FUCK. WHO HAS THE FILES WITH ALL THE MAGNUS INSTITUTE EXPERIMENTED PEOPLE. I DONT HAVE IT BUT MAYBE WE COULD MATCH THE SUBJECT NUMBER TO A NAME

it is kinda concerning to me that after Celia talks to Sam that we get a MAGNUS statement

BIG SOFT LOOKING GUY WHO STUMBLED OVER EVERY WORD???? BOOKISH LOOKING GUY WITH SERIOUS MILES???? WAIT NO WHAT THE FUCK WAIT WAIT WAIT YOU CANNOT BE SERIOUS. JONMARTIN???? IS THAT YOU????

Going away for a while???? Lonely-coded lmao and also me-coded

Magnus Institute Outreach Centre??? What the fuck??? They're like. Pretending to be a help center or like. A real institute???

Harcourt House? Sounds like a rich manor or something. A friend of Lady Mowbray's perhaps?

THE OTHER MYSELF???? IM SORRY WHAT THE FUCK NOW????

Meeting a successful version of yourself GONE WRONG

Oh my God wait WAIT IS THIS GUY'S OTHER VERSION FROM A DIFFERENT UNIVERSE??? IS THAT WHY DETAILS ARENT LINING UP FOR THEM????

Holy shit. Holy shit what the fuck. What the FUCK. Oh my God. So this is. This guy is literally just a fucked up person. Like. Dear God.

Oh my God it's his dad. Okay well. If the dad was a shitty person...I mean I don't condone it but I can see why that might have happened?

"Your world and mine are pretty similar" What does that mean????

This kind of reminds me of the statement in TMA season 4 where that woman keeps killing people because she's a good person and donates to charity and can make a difference and deserves to live. I wonder if this was the way she thought in the beginning. Although, she was killing innocent people. This guy killed a sadistic murderer.

OH MY GOD CELIA DEFINITELY REPLACED THIS UNIVERSE CELIA. HOLY SHIT WHAT THE FUCK. WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK. OKAY I DONT KNOW IF SHE KILLED HER BUT SHE DID SOMETHING TO REPLACE THIS WORLD'S CELIA.

This...Kinda also parallel's Not Sasha replacing Sasha and no one knowing it. It's just that Celia isn't actively trying to harm people. At least she seems to feel guilty for replacing this universe Celia??

JMJ ERROR AGAIN?? but I thought we just found our in universe jmart as well.

Gwen's a tech girlie???? Also Dyhard shippers are being fed this ep lol

Ethernet PROTOCOLS??? Lmao I'm kidding I'm kidding

OH DYHARD SHIPPERS ARE REALLY BEING FED HUH MY GOD SKDHAOJFDB

I REALLY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT TO SAY. SO WE MIGHT HAVE AN IN UNIVERSE JONMARTIN. AND THEN CELIA MAY HAVE MURDERED THE IN UNIVERSE VERSION OF HERSELF TO REPLACE HER. GIRL WHAT THE FUCK. I really hope she didn't murder her but maybe it's like...possession? Body sharing???

Also I realized that the possible jonmartin sighting is from another universe not the one that we're in. But that's so funny to me because in SOME universe, Jon had to go to COURT MANDATED THERAPY

So from what I understand, this guy is from a third universe, not the TMA or TMAGP universe, and he managed to stumble into the TMAGP universe. I'm saying this bc I hope that in some other universe, jonmartin have a chance.

[irrgartendotpng]

Hi hi I can't stop looking at your ocs zeno is so cutee pls can you say more abt them?? How did they meet? How sentient is Zeno? Is Martyn a robot thing? Can Zeno change the icon on the screen? From fish to smiley? ahhhhhhhabskahks

HEY, IM ACTUALLY SO HAPPY PEOPLE LIKE MY OCS!! Down below, I'll answer some questions :D

If you dont care about some long winded oc lore rant, look at this ascii art !

First one i made with an ascii text generator, the fish one was made by Max Strandberg!! (look that guy up, he made lots of cool open source ascii art ! ))

I've made a pinterest board and a spotify playlist for them, if you want to check it out :3c

Do you know that "Ist es over für mich"-guy ? Yeah, that's straight up Martyn.

Martyn is partially a creator of Zeno. He's a loserish freak, afraid of social interaction and has lived like a neet, before being kicked out of parents house. He ended working in the night shift at a huge IT company as a securty guard.

This is where he gets most of his tech supplies from; Stealing from the company at night and getting rid of the evidence :3c They've got a bunch of storeage rooms with old tech, so who cares, if it goes missing?

So, he builds up his personal tech collection, looking through old abandoned files. In there, he finds an unnamed primitive chatbot (think something like cleverbot). Martyn doesn't really interact with anyone, (outside of the bare necessities), which is why he decides to learn how to interact with others. Therefore he starts to build a relationship with said Chatbot. This is Gen1 Zeno.

After some time, Martyn becomes unsatisfied talking to something so un-human-like, so he begins to teach himself about coding and computer science to develop this Bot, to keep him company. He starts feeding it more media; More specifically movies he owns on DVD, random books from the internet archive and his childhood photos.

These photos show Martyn and his parents on trips, his home and bedroom and also Martyns old pet goldfish. (He is quite anxious of showing his face though, thinking his employer might have some type of backdoor access to the program, so he'd always censor his face.) After each piece of media was added to the bots databank, they'd talk about it extensively. Around this time, Zeno starts to gain some type of sentience and properly chooses the name "Zeno"

About the same time, Martyn steals a Macintosh SE-30, which Zeno specifically requested. He is able to display symbols, that he freely chooses from. (but no goldfishy yet!) This is sums up Gen2 Zeno.

The next few parts may not make much sense, but I think they're a funny, so I'm probably keeping them this way lololol (also; this whole story bit takes place around 2019-2021)

Martyn is a bit freaked out by Zeno chosing his own name. At this point in time, he is a bit delusional and worries, that the soul of his childhood pet goldfish is trapped in the system. (Spoiler: it isn't.)

Despite these worries, Martyn knows that to make Zenos behaviour more human-like, he needs a bigger text database. So... Martyn gives Zeno access to his discord and lets him consume all of those messages. Additionally, he joins many public servers. Zeno also starts to ask about viewing media from the internet, that he sees being mentioned in the messages he reads. So, Zeno is granted free internet access and chooses to watch live streams, while Martyn is gone.

This is also around the time Martyn becomes more desperate for connection and support, so he starts to open up about his delusions and worries to Zeno. At that point Zeno is still not quite able to fully understand this, but tries his best. This is also when Martyn opens up about the delusion he had, of Zeno being posessed by the soul of his pet goldfish. He is very amused by this and begins to display the goldfish icon to mock Martyn.

(I like to joke, that Zeno would have watched the DreamSMP during this time and I collected following screenshots, which remind me of their interactions. lol.)

feel free to disregard this;,, ANYWAYS!

This sums up Gen3 Zeno :3c

Since Martyn doesnt really have a life outside of work and talking to Zeno, he is very attached to him. Of course he'd fullfill any request given to him by Zeno. So, when Zeno asks to see Martyn via a camera system, he doesn't hesitate to steal some web cams from his workplace to set them up. Still a bit worried about a possible backdoor in Zenos code, so to somewhat hide his identity, he decides to shave his head.

(This is also how you can tell when Zeno is fully sentient in my art! If Martyns bald, that bot's fully aware of everything happening lol)

Generally, I like to think, that Zeno is very modular. You're celebrating something with cake and he needs to blow out candles? Attach a PC fan to that boy. He wants to make sounds? Gather a sound system and let that boy speak!!! (i feel like he'd mimic voices, rather than create his own,,) He wants to poke you? Attach a cylinder piston and he'll poke the shit out of you.

This is also part of that freaky robot head i added in the OG post.,, that is not martyn! martyn is fully human (so far ;3c)

^^^^^^ martyn built this freaky robot head for Zeno to control and get a better sense of the space he lives in.,,, its made out of xbox kinect parts lol :3 Adding to the modularity of Zeno, most of his parts are stored in a badly sorted server tower (imagine wires everywhere,,)

both of them are fairly new, but i do love them to death <33

also! towards this part of the story, martyns living space is quite cluttered with many stolen robotics parts. I've gathered some images, to give some sort of sense to what his room looks like lol

thank you for asking & reading to this !! if you have any other questions, i'd love to talk about them even more :D <3

(i feel i havent touched much on them individually and the full extend of their relationship, but i dont want to rant endlessly)

Could you make some Astrodude and Houston headcanons if that's alright? I would like both regressor and caregiver ones if that's okay

Astrodude as a Caregiver :

•Astrodude is all about making learning fun. He'll teach space facts or science in a way that feels like an adventure, using playful language and imaginative scenarios

•Dada Astro speaks softly and calmly, using his soothing voice to help you feel safe and understood, especially during moments of anxiety or stress

•Creative Games : He creates space-themed games, like pretending they're on a mission to another planet. This not only keeps his sweetheart entertained but also gives you a sense of accomplishment when they "complete" their mission

•Storytelling : Astrodude loves to tell bedtime stories that involve space travel or distant galaxies, often including Houston as a character. These stories help his little one drift off to sleep with dreams of the stars

•He ensures his superstar has comforting items like a starry blanket, a plush spaceship, or glow-in-the-dark stars on the ceiling to make bedtime cozy and exciting

Houston as a Caregiver :

•Houston is the practical, reliable figure who provides structure. He makes sure you stick to a routine but does so with a gentle and understanding approach

•Houston helps you work through problems by turning challenges into simple, solvable "missions," which they can tackle together. His logical mindset reassures you that everything can be managed !

•During moments of distress or tantrums, Houston stays calm, offering words of reassurance and a steady presence that helps you feel grounded and safe

•Mission Briefing : Papa Houston loves to explain what’s going to happen throughout the day, calling it a “mission briefing,” which helps his sunshine understand and feel in control of their day-to-day activities

•Houston enjoys introducing you to tech-related toys or puzzles that spark curiosity while being fun and interactive. He's great at balancing educational activities with play

Astrodude as an age regressor :

•As a regressor, Astrodude is constantly asking questions and exploring, full of wonder and excitement about everything around him. He sees the world with wide-eyed curiosity and loves learning new things, especially about space

•He often pretends he's on different planets or exploring new galaxies. His imagination is vast, and he loves when Houston joins in on his space adventures

•Comfort Items : Astrodude has a deep attachment to anything space-related, like his favorite plush rocket or a small model of the solar system

•Astrodude is typically a very happy and optimistic regressor, finding joy in the smallest things and spreading that positivity to those around him

•He has a preference for fun, space-themed snacks like star-shaped cookies or "moon cheese." Eating these treats makes him feel like a real astronaut

Houston as an age regressor :

•As a regressor, Houston is more reserved, preferring quieter activities like coloring or building with blocks. He enjoys activities where he can think and focus on

•Even while regressed, Houston likes structure. He prefers to have his toys or activities in a particular order, and this organization helps him feel secure

•Houston gravitates toward more technical toys, like building sets or simple coding games. He finds comfort in the predictability and logic these toys offer

•Soothing Sounds : He enjoys calming background noise, like the hum of machinery or the gentle beeps of a computer. Thes sounds help him relax and feel at ease

If you're in the basic criteria , are DSMP fans, vivziep0p fans , h0tel/h3lluva b0ss fans, Owl h0use fans, St4r butterfly fans, Ghibli fans, ddlg/abdl blogs, nsfw/k!nk blogs, anti-agere blogs, or anti Christians/Christianity blogs : just dont interact !

UNDERSIDERS CLASSPECTING...

skitter-- heir of mind

tattletale-- bard of light

grue-- maid of blood

bitch-- knight of rage

regent-- bard of heart

[REDACTED]--mage of void

^__^ dont think too hard about any of em!! my classpecting methods also are. arcane and convoluted. and trying not to be like. vaguely spoilery? but. thats what i think. what r ur opinions... how would u classpect them? also bonus question classpect arm master for me please >:3c

UGHHHH DUDE I HAVE BEEN THINKING ABOUT THRSE FOR HOURS NOW. WHO THE FUCK IS REDACTED. IM LIKE 9 ARCS IN HOW IS THERE STILL A MAIN CHARACTER I HAVENT MET YET. SCREAMING. mage of void.... that's the classpect i gave ashe...... many thoughts head full

feeling A LOT OF THINGS about heart player alec. specifically destroyer class heart player alec. his dad's name is heartbreaker this is so evil. ALSO very glad u made brian a blood player it's so perfect for him. my immediate thought was knight of blood but tbh maid fits him soooo much better. EXTREMELY CLOCKED IN on mind player taylor. that would not have been my first choice for her but it fits REALLY well. (idk what my first choice would be for her. I keep thinking I understand taylor hebert and then she does something completely unexpected and im like WHO ARE YOU.) Lisa light player and Rachel rage player are also extremely perfect. also Rachel as a knight.... yeah.... I forgot to mention this in my lbs because it was. 4 in the morning. but I'm REALLY FUCKING SAD about Brutus and judas dying :( ESPECIALLY Brutus. fuck.

COMPLETELY. EVIL THING OF YOU TO SAY TO ME BTW. CLASSPECT ARMSMASTER. I HATE THAT GUY . UGH. unfortunately I did in fact think about this A LOT as I was finishing up at work. sigh. it was also super interesting because usually i lean heavy on aspects first bc I feel like i understand them better and class is just a modifier of whatever aspect a person is. but for him I went the opposite way because I COULD NOT decide for the life of me on a good aspect but ill be damned if he's not a fucking thief. he's so fucking thief coded. the whole basis of thief is "stealing [aspect] from others to benefit yourself" and he's so. selfish and egotistic in it for his own gain. he fucking SACRIFICED PEOPLE so that he'd be able to fight leviathan on his own so he'd have the glory of killing him. also related to his powers, while it's not stealing in a traditional sense he does ljke. really heavily analyze everyone around him and form tactics around that. also if I remember right he uses other people's tech/abilities in his halberd??? maybe not outright but i think i remember him basing some of his attacks on other heroes. anyway. for aspect I'm leaning toward.... well my first instinct is to say blood because he literally stole taylors team from her in revenge but i don't rlly think his other actions align with a blood player much. he's too focused on himself to be team oriented (even if his goal is to be. leader of a team) maybe hope? he wants glory he wants fame I feel like the closest thing to that aspect wise would be hope . fuck you for making me think about arm man for multiple hours

HI SAW YOUR REBLOG ABOUT JAILBREAKING STUFF. I AM INTERESTED SO WHATS POPPING WITH THE JAILBREAKS IF YOU DONT MIND ME ASKING

honestly i am not the worlds foremost expert in jailbreaking, so apologies if i made it sound like i was!

what i was getting at mainly is that yeah when i was in middle school about... 15 years ago? you could find resources for jailbreaking (or similar modifications) pretty much anywhere, i did some myself with very little computer knowledge (comparatively), and the stuff i couldn't do i knew several classmates who could do it for me, and it sucks that not only is that knowledge buried much deeper now if it exists at all, but that tech companies have only doubled down on the making it near impossible to install anything on your devices that they didn't want there

(hell even something like making a backup of the files on a phone/tablet has gotten really tricky if you don't understand exactly how it works)

it's also a really wide topic im not sure where to start, bc im not sure what your background is in this already and what you'd want out of it?

but in terms of base terminology, jailbreaking/rooting is gaining full control over your device, being able to install things the manufacturers didn't intend, and uninstalling things they won't let you uninstall otherwise (as a disclaimer, this always comes with a bit of a risk, bc taking full control means you can make your device unusable if you do it wrong, but a lot of resources are designed to minimise that risk)

i'll leave this question open for others with more knowledge to add onto it if they wish, but stuff i can find with a quick search...

r/jailbreak for apple devices seems to be pretty good, they also have a discord server you could ask questions of if the terminology is going way over your head

magisk seems to be the safest way to root android devices these days, and this article covers it pretty in depth in approachable language for newbies

if you just want to roll back app updates you didn't like, i find uptodown pretty decent (this one i have used myself)

as far as computer stuff goes rather than phones/tablets, i would recommend getting a basic familiarity with html (for internet stuff) and what the command prompt is (for software - apparently it's called terminal on apple but i've only used windows), bc it'll make a lot of guides less scary - you don't have to be able to code changes yourself, but if you can look at someone else's code and go oh okay that's what you're doing there, or oh i recognise those terms/symbols, then you'll have a better sense of what to trust or what you're actually doing to your own computer

and yeah no keep asking questions that's a great way to start! the more background knowledge you acquire the easier it gets to start changing things to what you want them to be

Scraped up a WIP

"What'll it be, clone?" The smuggler asked. "'Cause I dont have a problem blowing your head off right here."

Echo struggled on the floor, fighting against the hold as he looked between the smuggler, his brother's across from him, and Tech.

The splicer kept his gaze steady, staring across at the smuggler. Hunter thrashed against their captors as he spat an order at Tech.

"Don't do it, Tech-" Hunter growled. "Get out of here, that's an order—!"

Tech's gaze hardened. "What do I get?" He asked lightly, startling the room into silence.

The smuggler paused. "What?"

"What do I get out of this?" Tech repeated. "I want compensation."

Hunter's eyes widened. Beside him, Crosshair's eyes narrowed. "Tech, what're you doing?" The sniper hissed. "You're not seriously considering this–?"

"Are you going to offer me anything for them?" Tech asked sharply. "Or am I wasting my time trying to sell you them?"

Echo winced. "Well- well—" The smuggler stammered.

"They're very valuable." Tech spoke down to the smuggler. "So if you're going to sit here and give me nothing, I'll take them somewhere else."

"We can pay you-" The smuggler offered hastily. "Double the fee for the droid," He pointed to Echo. "And whatever these three are worth."

Hunter looked from Echo to Tech. The splicer hummed, considering it.

"No," He shook his head. "No, triple." Tech nodded to himself. "That should be sufficient."

"Triple?!" The smuggler repeated. "Where do you expect us to get—"

"I don't expect you to even have double," Tech interrupted. "So I would watch it. Triple, and I get to keep the big one." He pointed to Wrecker.

"Tech!" Hunter snarled.

"Ugh," The smuggler sighed. "Double, and the big guy. How about it, clone?"

Tech raised an unimpressed brow. "Do you understand their value?" He asked the smuggler seriously.

"Of course!" He answered shortly, snapping.

"Then you understand my hesitation to hand them over to the likes of you," Tech said simply. "Double, and I keep the big one, and the sniper."

Crosshair looked livid, but he kept silent. The smuggler squirmed.

"Well?" Tech asked, mockingly.

"How about this–" The smuggler threw up his hands. "We match the price for the droid, and forget about those three," He pointed to the others, and Echo's chest lightened. "You can keep 'em."

Tech rubbed his chin, as if in thought. "Tech!" The sniper hissed.

"Fine," The splicer crossed the distance, hand outstretched. "Release them, and I'll give you the access codes to the droids central system."

The smuggler lit up, and Echo's stomach dropped. "You have 'em?" The smuggler asked.

"Obviously," Tech rolled his eyes. "Do we have a deal?"

The smuggler gripped his hand tight. "You've got yourself a deal." He confirmed.

Hunter felt them dragging him outside, and he watched Tech turn briefly towards him, hands moving behind his back, and Hunter's eyes widened.

"Under control," Tech signed. "Meet you soon."

Hunter breathed a breath of relief as he let them drag him out.

🎹 hi could i get a tbb ship request(tbats what its called right)!! preferably sfw.

my name is aki but my nickname is “sticks”(sometimes its a “codename” as a joke.) my hair is kinda vkei-ish?? more of a short jellyfish idk. just search up vkei hair and you’ll get it:) its blonde(more of a yellow-orange though) but the roots are black. most of the clothes i wear are black and i have pretty much a whole chest of accessories and the like. im asian, fairly dark skinned, and very proud.

my therapist used to describe me as slightly autistic but i never got diagnosed. i like to consider myself a mix of intp-t and intj-t, im also a gemini. im usually kinda closed off but online and with my friends i could ramble for HOURS. i was always an overachiever when it came to academics(still am). im 19 and currently in college. i was always interested in programming and science during hs. my friends often say my academic reputation contradicted my style. i used to play the guitar but now i play the piano. i love bands with that cellophaney sound like suede, the smashing pumpkins, radiohead etc. to add to that i also love vkei.

aside from the piano and guitar i also crochet but not much. sometimes i like to program silly games to play w my friends, theyre really simple though. i love dogs. as in i LOVE them. i love them so so much they are my love and life. though i dont really like small dogs theyre a pain in the ass. baby hamsters are scary as shit. i like vampire shows and books theyre soo cool.

anyway thanks

Of course, thanks for participating!

I ship you with...

Crosshair!

You were friends with Tech first (bonding over coding and other academically-inclined topics), which is how you were introduced to Crosshair. He's someone who is very reserved and doesn't trust easily, but since Tech trusted you, that made it a bit easier for Crosshair to trust you, too. He trusts his brother's judgement.

Crosshair loves when you play piano. He secretly wants to ask you to teach him to play, but he's too shy indifferent to ask. However, he will sit and listen to you play, letting himself relax as the notes float through the air. Sometimes, if it's right after a mission or any time tbh, he'll listen to you play and clean his rifle- two things he really enjoys.

Another way the two of you bond is by going to animal shelters and playing with the dogs (the big ones, of course). At one point he was this 🤏 close to bringing home a pittie mix named Ginger, but Hunter said no ("he's such a di'kut, I don't understand why he doesn't like dogs"). Either way, seeing him so carefree and getting to spend some time with him was what mattered the most.

Thanks for reading! If you want a ship request like this, drop it in my ask box. 💚

Live blogging of the Podcast Jam's Pilots (Part 2):

Again, I want to congratulate everyone that participated in the Podcast Jam. You created not just a story but a world using just sound waves in 72-ish hours, that's amazing!

8° Hello? Are you there?

I have so many questions about the world.

Race of people???

I really like Aiden's VA, they have a nice audiobook narrator voice. I also liked the reverb effect.

But what is with the freaking morality?

I know where Aiden is, he's in the US of A.

Wait, I wanted the tour :((

Hey Aiden, if you dont have a brother, dont crticize.

What did humanity did to you? Noooo.

Tbh, I was most intrigued by this project 'cause it had a similar premise to Eart(h) FM and wanted to see how it will diverged, and it left me a bit dissapointed. Part of that cause Eart(h) FM is a sorta tesis to the wrong idea that humanity is greedy and to all those other apocalyptic stories that further the myth.

Idk, I was expecting a couple of stories not about mythology but rather about Aiden and him connecting and making friendships that arent there anymore and mourning.

But hey, thats just me. Good job team!

9° Valvidian's Finest

Love the title sequence.

I like the heart of the ship sound, threatening but cozy.

I love Anna Maria.

What happened to poor Sam?

A small bear is a pretty accurate description of a cat.

Its name is Acorn!

Omg, they are saving the cat. Like Saving The Cat. Thats so funny.

Question: Is Sam human?

Tbh, I didnt understand the first half, or anything until the cat.

Oh no, that cat is expensive. Awww Slack, they have ethics.

Uuu, class comentary ♡♡

Nop, Anna did pop the "P".

Also, I love how each of the characters have a distinct voice.

Wait, so they hide the cat in a suit?

Omg, such cool music.

Peace & Love.

Ok, the what do we deliver at the end was a jump scare.

10° Space Specks

This reminds me of Eart(h) FM but from another perspective/pos. But like more Morbid.

Nice exposition.

Too many characters, aaa, I cant distinguished from one another.

Amputeee rep!

Omg, the stikes were raised so fast. Who is this friend?

I'm curious about this format. Who is recording, and why?

Three more nights I said, but I am bad at math, jejeje.

Idk who this person is saying all this pet names. But I love them.

What's your deal? They are a polycule my friend.

Nora: 'cause I can, 10/10.

That being said they became defensive too quickly. Idk, I think the conversation was a bit forced but they said the word QPR!! And tbh that's all that matters.

Weed is weed, I need that in a shirt.

Honey, I need to make a list of all the pet names. Idk, I like when ppl say pet names platonically and not condescendenly.

Sawyer, thats their name!

Future tech! Future tech!

I also think leaving nora is a terrible idea. They were like 5 or 7 in the group, someone can stay with them.

Wait, Sawyer is cowboy coded. I thought they were a doc.

Dog! Dog! DOG! 2024 is the year for podcasts dogs! Finally! There had been to many cats.

Aww Coral. I would have done the same.

A dog named Dog, 10/10 naming skills.

Hey, dont insult the dog. He is just scared. Dogs are loyal but also, yk, angry.

Wait, noooo. Dont shoot the dog.

So Chip is the doctor. Nooo, dont shoot him. Ah, they are living him alive.

Aliens? Ah no, just a human surviver.

Okay, so I still dont know how many characters are and now we've added another one.

Jean, dont.

Ah, the friend was Jean. Stake was finally saved.

Uuu, Real World Lore.

Nice editing Quills and Finch!

11° Working Tidal

Nice music, love some rock.

Uuu, hostel setting!

Poor Fisher they are so stressed.

Wait, so this is a case of if they get wet they turn back into mermaid form?

Question: Why do they need to hide? Like, is there an anti mermaid sentimaid?

Gills and shark teeth! Thats so cool... and sexy.

This person is so calm, I wish they could hold me and tell me all will be fine.

Aww, human dad? Mixed kid metaphor!!!?

Oh no, Mick(?) Lost their powers. Was it cause of love?

Wait, Erick and Mick (?) are Divorced?? Hey, Erick, whyyyyy, be more carefull.

This just became 10 levels more tragic.

They nailed the divorced dynamic.

Poor mom, she is also overworked. Let her sleep.

I feel cheated though, I tought this was going to be a comedy but is a family drama.

Fin, you are a disaster/pos.

Wave transition, so smooth!

*Down bad for your weed dealer*, hehehe.

Wait Riley is 16, aww.

Also Fin & Fisher really nailed the sibling dynamic of those two who are very closed in age.

Weed makes you wise.

"Actually I think is a dead body?" Said high and totally chill, is actually very funny.

NO, NEVER CALL THE COPS.

Lore? Lore? No lore :(

"Hey kids you are home in time for dinner. Whats with the unconcious person there?"

Bluey is canon in this universe.

Annete not Mick. Sorry.

Erick, why did you said that about your NEPHEW??

Okay, so magic and mermaids are known in this universe. Then why do they have to hide?

*She can stay?* Dont you live in a hostel.

Wait, Fisher named themself? Thats hillarious but better than if it would have been their parents.

What do you know Anette? Oh no, poor Marine or Marnie.

I am intrigued.

Wait, we are going to get two seasons!!!! Excited!!

12° Finder's Keeper

This creepy music is amazing.

This music is lulling me to sleep/pos.

No, dont insult coffee in my presence.

Okay, so exposition but exposition is incorrect but not actually.

Damn, this organization is abusive (?)

I really like the Keeper. They are like those detectives in Noir movies, and sound like they only survive from drinking and smoking/pos.

I thought she said, the "Poop" thing for a second (sorry).

Aww, the Keeper wants to protect them.

I really like the poof vfx.

I like the Here place. Nice sound.

The watchers, how did they get that much power?

How do ppl become finders & watchers?

NO, DONT SHAKE, DONT SHAKE.

I like this Elevator music. Finder agrees with me.

This is such a funny conversation. Love this transition scene.

Yeah, yeah. Nope, nope. Poor Keeper.

The music is so Coool. Like it is not basic creepy, if it makes sense? It has some pizzas and like little foleys that just add to it.

I could fell asleep to it/pos.

Something invaluable? Love, Peace, Happiness. Wait, adquired. Thats such a word.

Nah, keep with the semantics.

Oh, Time. That makes sense.

This man is so creepy in a fun way, props to the VA.

Wait, so not all of the clients are like this? I thought this was like a normal tuesday.

No, DONT SHAKE IT, DONT SHAKE IT.

Piano? Piano!?

So he is a shapeshifter. Why does that make him so evil tho?

Oh, so they are like Kidnappers or Eaters. I think they eat them.

Oh no, dont say Main Characters Syndrome. I can stand Hero's Journey but I draw the line at mc syndrome.

Hey, 70 is not old. No one under 80 can call themselves Old.

The percursions of this. So cool, like the clock but also the snare and kick box. Idk is so cool.

Wait, who did the Finder shoot?

Exactly, those are my questions.

13° Eart(h) FM

Too long. Wont listen to it.

14°Hamuel Burger and the American Dream

So tumblr deleted all my thoughts. But I just wanted to say this was so fun.

Asbestos reminds me of any gringo coming to a 3rd world country, especially the part of: "I thought earth will be more friendly / You tried to kill me".

Love how every alien influencer out there is trying to kill the us president. Will be me.

Really liked how they worked around having more characters without the need of more VAs and all of that through comedy.

I want to subscribe to Hams youtube channel.

The Farm boy just kicking the spaceship was 10/10.

And the meta-level credits is such a cool thing.

[cloudcountry]

Part 3 of rant ig?

But yeah, idia is fucking doomed by the narrative in every way and for whatever reason it make my brain light the fuck up.

I would definitely consider myself the emotional support dog to a degree? I like helping people with mental health and I feel obligated to help those I can. I've had a bad run with my own brain and my shit can be considered MILD compared to a lot of stuff. And so I look at characters like idia, I relate, and I immediately go "HOLY SHIT I NEED TO TAKE HIM OUT OF STRESSFUL SITUATIONS IMMEDIATELY " I'm the oldest of my siblings I'm a care taker I look at those people who need validation or brain feelings help and I go "I GOTCHU BRO" because if my brain made me feel as bad as I felt.. WHO KNOWS WHAT ITS DOING TO THIS POOR GUY :((( LIKE

Liking idia is like finding the wettest most pathetic half dead cat that's scared of ppl and has behavioral issues, and helping it becuase that kitty has the potential to be the bestest and most happiest cat ever

Tldr: he's so fucked up he triggers my protective and nurturer instincts

Plus!!! He likes anime and I was literally raised on that! Since I was like 8, every Saturday the whole family would watch an episode of Dragon Ball and an episode of Bleach. Otaku??? Ranting buddy??? Someone the theorize and binge with?? YES. Dude have you ever shit talked your least favorite character and everyone hyped you up becuase they ALSO hate that character???? THAT SHIT CATHARTIC!! AnD THAT HALLOWEEN GETUP???? HONEY DO YOU WANT TO COSPLAY WITH ME PLEASE I JUST WANT TO WEAR MECH ARMOR---

Idia is Hella nuerodivergent coded and it makes me salivate because like!!! He knows TM. Existing around other people with fucked up brains is so weirdly cool becuase alot of the time you can just tune in to the other on a subconscious level like Bluetooth connection. PARALLEL PLAY WOULD BE FUCKING AMAZING WITH IDIA BC HE WOULD JUST PLAY GAMES AND YOU CAN DO WHATEVER YOU WANT!!! Also the infodumping. INFODUMPING BELOVED. I personally, would love to hear him go off about tech shit that I would not understand becuase just the feel of the passion is intoxicating!! (This feeling extends to Jade leech btw) FREE DOCUMENTARY!!!

Another thing I also appreciate is the Sass that they stole from Hades, Idia is a sassy little bitch and it is WONDERFUL. He is a petty little shit. A horrible stinky gremlin man. I love the slang, the puns, the utter bullshit. He intrigues me and I wish to study him!!!!! He would send me a blurry picture of bread with the caption "me living that crumb life " at 2:47 am and I would lose my shit BECUASE YES. CRUMB LIFE!!! YOU ARE LIVING IT!!!! He's also genuinely smart and I like smart characters. Idia is a little shit, but he's also smart. I 100% believe in the "you can think your way out of anything if you just get creative enough" way of looking at things. IMPROVISE ADAPT OVERCOME!!! I appreciate the technological skills and alternative thinking patterns! (camp Vargas where he motivated himself to pick up sticks by comparing it to something he liked? Boom. Creative thinking beats out executive dysfunction!!!)

It's a type of friendship and weird bullshit I couldn't see myself doing with a lot of other twst characters ? There potential for a deep emotional understanding and connection that is just really alluring for my mind ig

Just 2 fucked up ppl trying to exist, but at least it's easier together sort of thing? Also idia would probably let me kill someone.

okay WOW you and edie sent me so much about this man and i like just woke up so now im reading this with a hazy sleep brain LMAO AKSJDHHSFGJDHSGDFH

but you know its very interesting to see how things that bother me SO MUCH are things that make other people laugh. they make other people like him. THE THINGS I DONT LIKE ARE ENDEARING TO YOU PEOPLE!!!!! its all about perspective!

idia is really fucking smart like i may not like him but i can acknowledge his good parts. he cares about his brother hes smart and uhhhh ummmm uhhhhhhhhhh ANYWAY. im just teasaing SDJJSDDJ but thats why i love when i get these long winded messages about characters i dont like because if i can change my mind about rook and vil i can change my mind about idia

all it takes is people who loves him!!

[braintapes]

trying to figure out how to do anything with programs and code etc in general can feel SO fucking arcane if you dont have a lot of prior knowledge and even with Some basic knowledge, delving into an area thats more specific can still leave you feeling completely out of water just trying to parse and understand what the words mean let alone how to Do the things youre wanting to do. which can be something so simple seeming as 'i want to download a program'

none of that (often time consuming and extremely frustrating) learning process is helped by the WAYYY too frequent snobby n condescending attitude way too many ppl in programming/coding circles can have of like. oh well it's so simple you aren't even TRYING. looking down on people for not...already somehow knowing the intricacies of complex subjects...? which i will absolutely argue anything involving computers falls into. like yeah sure say 'tech illiteracy' all you want i dont think the solution to that is being jackasses to people about it

[motorclit]

Got some advice for a lot of Gen Z and Gen Alpha: learn your technology.

No. I mean actually LEARN it, not just how to navigate it. Learn how it works, why it works the way it does, learn to code, learn even the laws, what it's like to run a website, servers, etc.

Cuz if you want online alternatives to the same 5 websites or some shit, you're gonna have to be the ones who come together and do it. If you got time to scroll endless hours on Twitter and tiktok, you got time to ban together with like-minded people and learn how to take back the internet. (Fellow Millennials who remember MySpace, take note as well!)

I advise you learn the history of what the internet has been like. Don't just read blog posts, articles, and watch YouTube videos. Talk to us Millennials about it! Many of us learned very basic coding from just wanting a better-looking MySpace profile! YOU CAN STILL CODE YOUR TUMBLR BLOG TO LOOK COOL FOR WEB BROWSERS.

Learn to understand that the internet is more than touchscreens and apps! The internet was NEVER supposed to be what it is today! Several people sounded the alarm about big companies creeping into the internet! What we are living through is why! Because guess what: THE INTERNET USED TO BE FUN!

Please please PLEASE try this for a while! I'm even trying to learn more basic coding myself! This book from 2006 helps break down the basics into something that's understandable:

If the pic doesn't load, the book is called "Head First: HTML with CSS and XHTML", a learner's guide to creating standards-based web pages. The authors listed on the cover are Elisabeth Freeman and Eric Freeman.

Yes, this teaches you how to make a very simple web pages from the mid-00s and it only works on a web browser, but my gods, the sense of satisfaction you get from making this shit work...

YOU ALSO DONT NEED FANCY FUCKING SOFTWARE. EVERY COMPUTER COMES WITH THE PROGRAM TO MAKE WEBPAGES.

AND THAT PROGRAM IS CALLED NOTEPAD.

I AM NOT KIDDING. NOTEPAD IS SPECIFICALLY FOR CODING. YOU DO NOT NEED TO BE CONNECTED TO THE INTERNET TO DO THIS EITHER. YOU CAN MAKE IT AND TWEAK IT TO YOUR HEART'S CONTENT UNTIL IT'S READY TO GO ONTO THE INTERNET!

Be aware: the server thing you can upload your practice website to listed in this book is defunct. The images for examples in this book might be, too. With this in mind, I chose a subject I knew something about for practice, and that was simply the topic of sunflowers. (I didn't upload it to the internet. I liked practicing with it as I learned in this book... and I gotta revise while I get back into it.)

Pick a topic for the sake of practice because you'll wanna learn how to link your custom pages together in order to navigate your own site and such.

I PROMISE YOU that this will feel very satisfactory if you give this a shot!

LET THIS BE YOUR GATEWAY INTO TRULY LEARNING HOW THE TECH YOU GREW UP WITH WORKS SO THAT YOU CAN POTENTIALLY HELP THE INTERNET AS A WHOLE! BECAUSE TECH KNOWLEDGE IS MORE THAN JUST NAVIGATING AN APP!

Please consider this. Help make the internet a less shitty place. Get together with friends (in person or online) and learn together!

We are the internet!

On the subject on AI art for the uneducated

AI Art has once again appeared to be trending on the hellsite for the second time this week. So, as a computer tech, I'm going to explain what AI art actually is for those who are unaware.

When generating an image, the program scrubs their existing image pool and then uses that information to "draw" an image. Software drawing stuff is not new. Programming students learn to draw with the Python language as a way to learn how to code. But they dont go on to claim the drawing as their own. They use it once and then dont use it again as it is to help teach the foundations of coding.

However, people using software to generate an image is not art. They did not create the software that drew the program. They only inputted word prompts that the software used to generate an image. Its the equivalent of a teacher giving an art prompt and their students drawing the picture, its not their work, they just told them what to do.

This is why AI art can not be claimed by copyright. The teacher did not draw the image. They just told the student what to do.

Agruably, the developers cannot even claim the art generated as their own also, as this is classed as artificial intelligence. If thats the case, then only the AI can claim it since it made the artwork.

The way AI generates images, though, is considered to be stealing because the images in the image pool were not given with consent, so the image generated from the pool is an unethical Frankenstein's monster.

Please put this into consideration when you are thinking about generating AI art. Please do not use it. It is not ethical, and it is blatant stealing.

If you still do not understand. Imagine you have a child, then imagine you get an email from a teacher of said child who told them to draw an image. Said child prints out images of famous paintings, chops them up, and glues them together to make art. The teacher then claims that what your child made is now their own work that they made. That is basically what this is.

AI art is not art. You are just stealing from artists and AI.
