hey spacie, whats ur opinion on "art" ai starting to steal real artists' works? ive just recently learned about it and it's personally making me angry. i feel as if it will steal all artist-using jobs eventually and just wont give actual artists an opportunity :\

FUCK AI "ART" 🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕

the way people are using it right now is absolutely despicable. trying 2 say that they're "artists" b/c they entered a few words in2 a generator that did all the work for them. no not even, the backs of ARTISTS these stupid fucking programs based their ai off of. not given any credit or compensation. its FUCKED

ai working in tandem with artists can have its uses. it can even help artists! but as its being used right now? completely unethical. its literally being used as a capitalist tool 2 endlessly churn out art as if it were a product in a factory. it needs 2 be regulated so we dont have a bunch of dude bros who have never had any appreciation for art trying ta make a quick buck

Protective prompt 20, with Guybrush and pregnant Elaine? Like when she’s really close?

Okay, one more time. Guybrush thought, flipping through his notebook of a checklist of the things he needed before the baby arrived. 

It was… a rather long checklist, the more he looked through it for what felt like the hundredth time. In fact, not only did it look like it was a list that was made for someone of higher ranking, the edges of the paper looked worn from the amount of times Guybrush had flipped back and forth through the pages. Someone (mainly Guybrush) would think he would have memorized the list by now.

One would think that, because of this, he was prepared for the arrival and yet… yet he felt even more unready. 

For every two he remembered, a dozen other things he would forget and immediate panic would settle in him and would not leave until the matter was resolved. This had been going on easily during the last– no, that was a lie. It had been going since the start of the pregnancy. Sleep had become non-existent as he scrambled to make sure everything was taken care of… especially now on the supposed last month.

He sighed and rubbed his eyes. Okay, one more time: ship is docked, all the things for the delivery were ready, house was…

Guybrush looked around the currently mid-renovated home. There was still some construction that was needed for the kitchen, the main living room, and pretty much everywhere else. All of the furniture was here, he just had yet to properly place said furniture in the rooms they’re supposed to go to, such as how the main bedroom had the bed set up, but the closet and nightstands were not… built.

He flicked back and forth with the pencil before finding unchecked the closet needing to be made and clothes folded away. How all three needed to be done.

Three…

No longer just two.

No longer just one.

Guybrush stared at the paper and decided his next project of the day was making sure his soon-to-be-born child’s room was, at the very least, set up. After that, he’ll work on Elaine’s stuff and then he’ll focus on his own. He’ll stay up again if he needs to, he convinced himself, it’s fine. Elaine was due any day now and he was absolutely adamant that he was going to take care of everything.

He made his way upstairs to the nursery, still trying to process that this was a permanent home of his and not a temporary one when he heard the tired exhale coming from the room. Raising a brow, he walked in and found Elaine kneeling on the floor, folding up the clothes and blanket and such.

“Elaine?” He called out. “What are you doing here? I thought you were supposed to be on bedrest.”

“I got bored.” She admitted. “And figured you could use some help.”

“No, c’mon… you don’t need to do that.” Guybrush bent down. “I told you I got this.”

“I know, and I remember… but it’s not fair that you do everything.” Elaine said.

“I’m doing the bare minimum. You, however, are doing everything.” He pointed at her stomach. “And all the books say–”

“That I need rest, yes, I know.” She sighed. “Believe me, I know… I’ve only heard that for what? Nine months now?”

“Give or take.” He gave a sheepish smile before dropping it slowly. “Please, you need rest. If anything happened, I wouldn’t be able to forgive myself.” 

“And you think I’ll be able to rest knowing you haven’t slept throughout the whole thing? Don’t go about thinking I haven’t noticed you sneaking off at night or the reading-into-the-morning habit you’ve been developing.”

“I thought I was subtle.”

“Being pregnant somehow made my senses sharper.”

“Really? None of the books said–”

Elaine just raised a brow and Guybrush quickly lowered his head, a hint of a blush on his cheeks.

“A-anyways…” he cleared his throat, “you shouldn’t be moving around so much. Especially now.”

“You don’t need to push yourself so hard, you’ve already gone above and beyond for all of us. You managed to rebuild an entire home from nothing, learned probably the most about pregnancies than most pirates and made sure I was taken care of. And I get that you’re nervous… as am I, but we’re a team, remember? We’re always going to look after one another.” She placed a hand on his cheek. “And I say that you of all people need to rest. You haven’t gotten a wink of sleep… it’s all over your face.”  

He placed a hand over her’s and slowly exhaled, feeling the exhaustion creeping over his eyes. 

“You’re right… I know you’re right.” He said quietly, looking at her fondly. “You’re always right.”

“Give or take a few scenarios.” She smiled.

“Give or take.”

Before either of them could say anything else, Elaine hissed in discomfort, quickly letting go of him and holding her stomach. Her brows furrowed and she lowered her head.

“E-Elaine?!” He gasped, quickly placing his own hands on Elaine, unsure if to move her or have her lay down. “What’s wrong? What can I do?”

“I-I’m fine… I’m fine… been having some… discomfort this morning. Carla said you had the doctor on standby and he said that this was perfectly normal.” She reassured. 

��Discomfort… doctors….?” Guybrush muttered. 

And then he stopped. 

And his eyes widened. 

And suddenly he was very much alert and awake when he saw her give a slight smile and knew entirely what she was referring to.

“Is it happening now?!” He asked, “Oh crud… I, okay… okay okay okay this is fine I just… uumm…”

“Guybrush.” Elaine spoke up, taking deep breaths. “It’s fine. Even your books said this was fine, remember?”

“Yeah.. yeah but–” he shook his head. “Alright, lets head back and… and we’ll figure things out there.”

“I like that idea. And you resting will be one of those things.”

He gave a nervous laugh.

“Right.” Guybrush said. “Alright.”

they won't tell you this in therapy but sometimes the best way to stop catastrophizing/anxiety is to interrupt your spiraling with "girl what the hell are you talking about"

everytime i hear someone call depression and anxiety ‘destigmatized mental illnesses’ i wonder how they react when they find out someone has spent weeks or months in bed or struggles to shower or eat

I think in the same way there's a 90/10 rule with horror and comedy (horror works best when it's 90% horror and 10% comedy and vice versa) there's a 90/10 rule for some relationships in fiction that's like. Wholesome and fucked up. A good friendship is at its most compelling when it's also 10% a bit fucked up. Fucked up relationship is at its most compelling when there's at least 10% of something actually sweet and substantive within. Do you get me

this messed up vintage cat sewing pattern has tormented me since i saw it & like some other folks have done in that post - i tried my hand at tweaking the pattern to resemble the illustration (and my personal tastes) a little more. i've ended up with this. i bestow it upon you nice folks now 👐

(update 2, added instructions & it's also on my Kofi!)

go forth and make weird little beanbag kittens! pls show me if you do!

"I should draw Māori Miku!" I said to myself. "Just a fun sketch, it shouldn't take me long" I said to myself. Six hours later I come to with this in front of me and a wrist begging for mercy but holy fuck worth it. I love this trend this was so much fun

PLEASE DON'T REPOST ON OTHER SITES!!! ASK ME FIRST!!!!!

DISCLAIMERS AND NOTES ETC.... I'm Pākehā, meaning I am not of Māori descent. I hold so much respect for Māori people, for their values and traditions, and for the fierce pride with which kapa haka is performed. I thought if I was going to design a Māori Miku, it makes sense to dress her in a kapa haka kākahu, as her whole thing is singing and dancing!!! The moko kauae is not based off any real person's. I referenced the temporary moko kauae a lot of kapa haka performers wear!! Was tricky finding out whether or not depicting her with a moko kauae was a good idea, so I went the safe route- showing an aspect of Māori culture without stepping over any boundaries!! Brown eyed Miku is everything to me shout out brown eyed Miku.... I referenced like seven different outfits to put hers together!! I really hope this looks accurate or at least passable. Thanks to adorkastock for the pose ref!!
