—- lunch munch club. ft schlatt. ᝰ

summary: watching porn late one night when you come across an interesting video. you're taken by surprise when you see the main male star is also the man who's streams you tune into almost daily.

— tags: smut, lunch club!schlatt, munch schlatt, mentions of oral, schlatt does porn (duh), open ending.. so we can expand upon this if we're interested.

authors note: hii! the two ideas i had originally can wait, because the lovely @fanficfox posted something about lc!schlatt doing porn and it struck me with inspo. so! everyone say thank you fox, and i hope you all enjoy! ♡

it's not uncommon for you to have some time to just yourself and the stash of porn videos that pop up on your twitter feed

twitter algorithm knows what to give you these days, which is nice. it saves you the hassle of finding a good account

but perhaps twitter knows you a little too well, when you're recommended a video of a guy eating a girl out

and you're intrigued of course, because who doesn't love that? especially when the camera is on her chest, helping entice you into the experience. as if it were you

the video is already a few seconds in by the time you click on it, and you're introduced to the scene with obscene moans escaping the girl

you can see her thighs tremble around the head in between her thighs, her free hand reaching out to run her fingers through the male's hair

you can hear muffled groans from in between her thighs, and you watch as the head moves back slightly, taking a breath

"god sweetheart, you taste so fuckin' good. could stay down here all night and take my sweet time with you."

that's when a shiver runs through your body, because oh. that sounded like.. and you supposed when you looked at the figure of the male, and the hair..

no. you were being stupid. of course you were. why on earth would schlatt of all people do porn. you know what he's like, he wouldn't

but oh, he would. and when he raises his head from beneath the girl's thighs with his lips glistening with her slick, you're frozen

it's as if your mind has short-circuited, because what the fuck?? you have so many questions; why was schlatt doing porn, why was he not making it subtle, why was he fucking good at it?

you don't have time to focus on your own questions, because your eyes are drawn back to the screen. you watch as his slim, naked body crawls up the bed, getting closer to the camera, licking his lips slowly as he groans

"words can't describe how good that was. need you to taste yourself, baby."

and with that, he's leaning over the camera to lock lips with the girl

immediately you close the tab. your whole being is flushed, and you feel hot inside for many reasons

you felt like you shouldn't have seen that, like you were.. intruding. which was stupid, he put this on the internet, there's nothing private about that

you decided you'd sleep it off. or that maybe this was a bizarre dream you'd wake up from not too long from now. anything but clicking back onto it

and yet only 10 minutes later, you had re-opened the tab

the next evening, schlatt is streaming and you try to watch it like normal. as if last night didn't happen

but you couldn't

now, every time he makes a suggestive joke or comment, you're transported back to last night

when he rolls his shoulders and cracks his neck mid-stream, you remember how he looked doing it in the video, before he crawled towards the camera

when he licks his lips after taking a drink, getting the remnants of whatever liquid he had consumed from them, you can only see him licking the girl's slick off himself

you felt insane, like you couldn't act normal about it

and maybe it was part of the insanity, but it felt like he knew.

maybe you were just psychoanalysing his every move now, but you could've sworn he was never like this before.. he was

you decided to test the waters with a few donations littered throughout the night

when he has ordered food in and was wolfing it down, there were scraps and sauces across his lips

"are you always this messy? i thought you liked to take your time with things."

when he's reviewing a video and he's talking a lot over a particular section

"you ever been told you talk too much, or do people usually like that?"

or, when he's playing a poorly made hide 'n' seek game with fans

"i'm not sure you're as good at hiding things as you may think."

"oops, 'things' autocorrected in."

every time schlatt hears one of your donations come through tts, he feels a shiver run down his back

he knew his little side hustle wasn't exactly locked behind security, it was just.. out there

maybe he was overthinking it, reading too much into your donations for no reason

either way, he's noting down your name on a sticky note on his desk for next stream for.. reasons.

chasing city lights

chapter 11 - flatline

synopsis: you move to new york to start fresh, hoping to find comfort in the city’s atmosphere. that’s when you meet sarah cameron, where she takes you to a concert and you catch sight of the lead band member, rafe cameron. it only takes a moment for you to realize you’re captivated by him. as sarah helps you navigate your new life in the city, you start to get pulled deeper into rafe's world—the music, the fame, the chaos. the more you get to know him, the more you realise that rafe is not just the rock star he seems to be. he’s wrestling with his own demons, and the last thing he needs is someone like you getting close.

after your day with rafe yesterday, the girls had so many questions and you told them everything, down to the song he wrote for you. what you didn't expect however, was that the song was going to be released in a few days time.

"i genuinely can't believe this," sarah started, "i mean him opening up to you? the commincation? the song? where is rafe and what have you done with him." she giggled.

"no y/n i don't think you understand the extent of this. like we've all been friends with rafe for a good 6 years, and i have never seen a girl have this affect on him before."

"guys stop you're making me think i'm some kind of miracle." you laughed with them.

"that's because you are a miracle." cleo joined in.

"so do you think you'll become official soon...?" sarah questioned.

"i don't know, the fans already think we are." you stated.

"the fans are fucking crazy. you'll get used to that i promise. when me and pope started dating everyone went bonkers over it." cleo reassured you.

"i guess so, it's okay i don't mind it, it's just getting used to seeing my face whenever i open twitter." you said. "whatever, we've got a flight to catch." you all finished your last minute packing and made your way into the car that was waiting for you outside the hotel.

part of you was sad to be leaving the state you had made so many memories in, but you knew heading back to new york all together was just the beginning for this new chapter for you and rafe.

once you made it to the airport, you found the rest of the boys who had left earlier as they all entered 'dad mode' and were getting stressed, john b to blame for that.

"finally you're here!" john b began as he saw you walk through the door.

"yeah thought we were gonna have to leave without you." pope said sarcastically.

"enough. we're here now aren't we?" cleo said rhetorically.

"yes ma'am" jj joined in, everyone was in agreement that cleo was the boss of the group.

you made your way to say hi to topper, who was slowly starting to become his usual self again, you assumed him and rafe had a conversation to try and clear the air.

but you eventually made it to rafe, who looked like his was patiently waiting his turn to get your attention, "hey you" he said.

"hey" you replied with a slight blush, "i didn't know you were actually going to release the song." you rushed out.

a look of concern took over him, "do you mind?" he asked worriedly.

"no! no i'm happy" you started, "but the fans are a little crazy."

"yeah i know they are and i should've warned you about that, but the best ones mean no harm and all you can try and do is ignore them." he replied.

"hard to ignore them when they're commenting on everything i post." you quietly said.

"i can say something if it really bothers you, okay?" he softly reached out to give your hand a squeeze.

"okay" you smiled at him, always putting you at ease.

"ok love birds pack it in," jj hollered "i don't think this plane is going to wait for us."

"whatever dude" rafe grinned, "ready?" he turned to you.

"ready."

“Government funding of media companies is way less of a problem than corporations funding news outlets”

That’s quite a claim to throw out there and then move on from as if people will just take your word for it. They’re both problems and it’s funny you think the government funding media is less of a problem.

“Fascist propaganda spewed on Fox.”

Lmao. Oh please. You only say this because Fox is the only mainstream media that isn’t hard left so you’ve been programmed by left wing propaganda to call it fascist even though you don’t know what fascism is. And I’m not a Fox News defender I don’t follow it or any other mainstream media outlet but calling it fascist is absurd. People who overused the word fascist without having a clue what it meant and couldn’t define it with a gun to their head, such as yourself, are the reason fascist means nothing anymore.

“The biggest reason why Elon would attack NPR is because it’s a news outlet he can silence.”

lol 😂 what are you talking about? Elon can’t silence NPR and furthermore, there’s no evidence at all that he’s even interested in doing so. You’re just pulling that claim out of thin air. Elon Musk has not so far been in the business of silencing anyone, even critics. I mean the whole reason you guys freaked out when he bought Twitter was because he wasn’t going to be silencing people anymore so first, don’t pretend you suddenly care about censorship and two, censorship isn’t even what is happening here. If less than 1% of their budget comes from the government then taking it away isn’t going to silence them. You claiming that’s the biggest reason he would “attack” them is conspiracy level nonsense.

And of course he hates being criticized by the media. No one likes it. But it’s hilarious that you say Musk spends a lot of time attacking the outlets and then just link to an X post where Musk says Reuters is lying. Like did you even investigate the story to determine if Musk is “attacking” the media or if they are reporting something that’s not true? Or do you just blindly trust the media for some reason? Looks like Reuters is very likely manipulating data in that report so if they are, how is it an attack to call them out for it?

“People need to realize that Musk and DOGE aren’t defunding institutions because they actually found wasteful spending or want to save taxpayer money.”

Yeah sorry but this is definitely conspiracy theory garbage. And you’re confirming that yes you do just the mainstream media without question. What people actually need to realize is you don’t know what you’re talking about. DOGE is cutting wasteful spending and the cuts are happening in places where we’ve known for a long time there has been wasteful spending. So you’re just out of the loop there unfortunately. Your whole last paragraph is unverified nonsense. Again, there is no indication or evidence Musk is trying to silence anyone that would hold him or Trump “accountable.” You are making that up because you don’t understand what’s really happening and you trust the government way too much. You’re an example of why government funded media is bad.

[crooked-wasteland]

I've seen your tweet which criticizes the worldbuilding in Helluva Boss and how the Goetias feel like "Hollywood with royal titles" rather than true aristocracy, and I would like you to elaborate on that, if that's OK.

Thank you so much for this ask as I never got to expand on this point at the time. For those not in the know, the user is referencing this exchange on Twitter.

As much as the elites of our world would like to disperse the truth, the reality is that all societies are constructed around power. Who has power, how and why. That is the fundamental basis of every social dynamic from children on a playground to the politicians in our governments. So the very first thing we should even approach in regards to the narrative is how does power work in this universe?

So when I responded to Elcee in the tweet being referenced, I am evaluating power and power structures. Mainly there are two wholly different constructs of power between something like the aristocracy and celebrities.

The closest thing to an aristocracy we have in our modern day are the financial oligarchs of Capitalism. Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates, etc. They have control everything from how our political parties engage with us to how we think based on the wealth they were born into. They curate our lives behind the scenes in ways that sound worthy of a tinfoil hat, but isn't a conspiracy. The wealthy were threatened in the 1970s by an educated proletariate. In response to our questioning the Vietnam war, the higher education that was once free or at least extremely affordable suddenly became prohibitively expensive.

So much so that only the financial aristocracy could access it. Whereas working class individuals are forced to jump through hoops and prove themselves suitably subservient to the existing power of the oligarchy in the form of scholarship applications, teacher recommendations and application letters before being granted access. This is not a mistake or how it's always been, this is by design.

Meanwhile, Celebrities are not elites. While we think of celebrities as being overpaid and living in luxury, it only takes a glance over at Chappell Roan to see the difference. When Jeff Bezos or Elon Musk or any large corporate CEO walks the red carpet, they are treated as royalty. When celebrities walk the red carpet, they are commodities.

Celebrity is the modern day face of the American Dream. Gone are the days of a single family home and a white picket fence. The boom of content over art, luxury over practicality, and excess over comfort is directly the result of selling to the world the idea of capitalistic success, which just amounts to perpetuating the system of turning humans into money. And for as much money as these celebrities make, it has been proven over and over again that they are just as susceptible to poverty as any other working class individual.

Celebrities are products we buy, and when we stop buying them, they vanish.

Meanwhile the aristocracy, the financial oligarchy, thrives in obscurity.

The difference in power is about who still has it when we no longer see them. And the more invisible and pervasive it is, the more real it is. However one as an individual thinks about the celebrity class, they are simple a different type of specialized tool to the true power behind the scenes.

With that differential in mind, the Goetia function more like celebrities rather than CEOs, and while Elcee fails to see the bigger picture, that subliminally tells the audience that someone with the title of prince, with armies sworn to his allegiance and infinite cosmic power, is no different than a working class joe.

This isn't intentional propaganda, however. It's not her trying to further the agendas of Jeff Bezos intentionally. Just like my other post covering how Medrano tries to excuse cheating, not realizing the only time one can argue such a blanket concept of forgiveness for such a betrayal can only happen when the option of choice is non-existent (ie Divorce is not on the table for reasons outside of the characters’ choices), this is the danger of not engaging with media with your mind turned on. You will innately, no matter how careful someone tries to be, engage with the material through the eyes of the creator.

Celebrities and average people are the same: commodities in the face of real power. But Medrano cannot tell the difference between someone like Elon Musk and his employees. She sees the aristocracy, the ones who were born into a legacy of wealth, as “hardworking average folks”. And if you aren't thinking, you might find yourself implicitly believing that too. Deeper entrenching the power they have over you as an individual and society as a whole.

How we got to where we are in our real lives is mirrored in the media we consume. And that isn't an accident.

Advice for Aspiring Commissions Artists

I recently had someone ask for advice on how to sell art commissions, so I thought it would be nice to compile a list for others aspiring to do so, as well as to remind myself of some important things to keep in mind.

1. Have one tumblr blog strictly for art. People will follow it specifically because they like your art, and it will be easy for them to find your artwork without having to scroll through a jumble of other stuff.

2. Draw and post just about every day! Most people will say to draw every single day, but please let yourself rest. You will end up being miserable if you force yourself to draw when you aren’t feeling well. The more you draw, the more your art will improve, and the more followers you will naturally accumulate over time.

3. Post fan art to bring in fans. You don’t have to strictly draw fan art, of course. But people are more likely to interact if they’re familiar with the character already. A lot of people will follow you for fan art initially, and some of them will grow to love your original art as well.

4. Develop your own unique style. This will occur naturally over time. Learn from artists you love, and over time, your art will evolve into a mix of art styles you like into something uniquely yours!

5. It takes time to find supporters who are willing to spend money on your art. Building an art business is a slow process, and it takes patience and perseverance. Only a small percentage of social media followers will pay for commissions or Patreon support, but those few are precious.

6. Use every platform and website you can to share your art and have links between platforms, so your fans can find you in multiple places. Examples of places to share your art are social media sites like Twitter, Instagram, BlueSky, and Pillowfort, as well as art sites like Cara and Pixiv.

7. Get a Patreon and Ko-Fi account and be sure to provide links to these means of financial support on your art posts (especially the art pieces you’re proud of).

8. Make use of as many means of making money with art as you can. Sell prints on inprnt, sell stickers on Redbubble. Youtube videos can eventually give you ad revenue. If you make comics, Tapas is another option to make a little bit of ad revenue. You can use Etsy to sell originals, prints, or even commissions! Some people may feel more comfortable buying commissions through an official store like Etsy rather than on social media, so it’s good to have that as a back-up in addition to selling through other sites.

9. Use a secure payment method that you’re comfortable with! I recommend using PayPal with invoices, so that you have proof of their purchase in case anything goes wrong. A lot of artists use Ko-Fi as well.

10. Post your commission guidelines on all the sites where you post your art! Don’t be afraid to reblog/repost your commission price list multiple times!

11. Art commissions are not a steady job. You might get nonstop commissions for a couple months and then not get any for a few months. There are some times of year when people are less willing to spend money. I’ve noticed this happening towards the end of the year. At times when you aren’t getting commissions, I recommend doing a limited time sale!

12. Price yourself appropriately for the amount of effort it takes for you to get the work done! Don’t overprice or underprice! Ask your friends for advice on what you should charge. You’ll probably want to start low and slowly increase your prices as your work gets higher demand.

13. Make your commission price list legible! Check out other people’s sheets for guidance!

14. Have patience and perseverance! It may take years after you start posting before you get a commission, but the more you put yourself out there, the more you’ll get noticed!

15. Draw what you enjoy! Maybe cater to your audience once in a while, but your own happiness is important to give yourself the drive to keep on going!

16. Don’t be afraid to reblog your own art at various times of day, for maximum visibility! Not all of your followers will be online at the time that you initially posted it.

As someone who wants to join the fandom more but it’s too scared to do so, I’m wondering how did you cultivated this community…? It’s so sweet to watch the way you talk to others and helping their works and such. How did you meet like…??? people ??? Like I always see you tagging the artists (ngl I found your blog because of Gomz) and I’d really want to learn, I’ve tried joining previous fandoms and it was always too competitive in some sense, like everyone was busy pushing their works for likes and retweets (maybe it’s more of a twitter thing)

Oh yeah. That's a Twitter thing. Twitter is a cesspit and I only go there for porn. The whole thing is set up to make people feel shite because people that feel shite scroll for longer/look at more adverts. Lock your account, bud. You'll feel a lot better.

But everywhere else? Gratitude and humility. Also, understanding what I wanted from fandom; a small community that hypes each other and encourages new people. Those are my bros (non-gendered). My Cakeshop Bros I found five years ago in fandom; they have slept in my spare bedroom, I've gone drinking, played boardgames, and we laid on the floor in London in a space art installation near Soho being weirdos drunk off our heads. Not just fandom friends now, friends for life.

When I first started posting for CoD, I was dead nervous as I'd been stung in a previous fandom. People took a chance on me as a new person; they reblogged my work with the sweetest tags. They hyped me. They took the time out of their day for a stranger, and they didn't have to. They coulda just read it and moved on. So, I said thank you in their inbox, or in their DMs. We started talking more, I was a bit weird and they vibed back. They are also good people. Genuinely. You mentioned Gomz; literally, so kind, so sweet. Deserves the world.

When I can, I make sure I hype them back; I wish I could do more but my job is absolute pig in terms of time. It's mock season (now over, woohoo) so I have a backlog of fics to catch up on - Nekro, Mikey, T, Oliv, Nikkie, Hexx, Gomz (who I deffo know have written), but there are probably more! I'll set a few hours aside over half term with a beer and crack on.

Also, I guarantee everyone is as nervous as you are. Everyone gets imposter syndrome. And also, everyone gets jealous. Jealousy is a natural human emotion that you need to process into something productive. "I'm jealous" = "this person is really fucking good, has worked hard, I'm gonna encourage them and learn from them because they clearly know their shit". Reframing rather than ignoring or letting it fester. They're just people after all and probably shitting themselves as much as I was.

I also guarantee you I am not everyone's cup of tea. And that's ok. Letting go of the burning desire to be liked by all, sometimes at the expense of my own bloody happiness and seeing it as a personal failing if I wasn't, was probably one of the most powerful things I did for myself over the last five years. The only thing I care about in regards to others is if I acted with integrity and kindness (not necessarily niceness). That's all I can control.

Sorry, mate. That came off as a bit of a rant! But uh, don't be scared. Keep reaching out. Be feral.

Hi!!

What are your favorite ships besides Jonatello(Caseytello)?

P.S. I love your artistic style!! Donny is a cutie(~˘▾˘)~

Hello ! 👋✨

Thank you so much for the compliment !! I'm glad you enjoy my art ! 🥺

Some of my favorite TMNT pairings that aren't 2012 Jonatello are:

2003:

• April O'Neil and Casey Jones (Capril) ! They're a classic, I love them so much- 😭🫶

2012:

• Raphael and Y'gthba / "Mona Lisa" (RaMona) !

They're the only canonical relationship with one of the main Turtles that I actually enjoyed and thought wasn't as poorly written- 💀👍 Lmao

• Karai and Shinigami (ShiniRai) !

You honestly cannot convince me that there's not something going on between them canonically- Plus, I don't have the image anymore and I don't know where to find it again, but somebody on Twitter a while back who (I'm assuming??) did the concept art for Shinigami referred to her as, "Karai's girlfriend" in the caption of that post- So Like- 😭✨

• Leonardo and Casey Jones (Caseynardo / "Hockeyblades") !

I think they had a lot of potential if Leo was allowed to interact with Casey more (And honestly April as well, because he didn't get a lot of interactions with her either imo-),, It felt like the writers were allergic to having Leo form significant bonds with any character that wasn't his Brothers / Splinter. Lmao || I also feel like they could've bonded over having younger siblings, since Casey is the eldest compared to his younger Sister (Who we never got to see-), which could have been a great way to start that bond between them since Leo would feel like he has somebody who can relate to his problems or struggles with being the eldest child ! I've also said this many times in the past, but is Casey not just the male version of Karai (As well as the less problematic version of her since he's not related to Leo- 💀)?? Leo found Karai interesting because she was rebellious and impulsive and challenged authority and was very charismatic / flirty (Which in Karai's case was purely just a form of manipulation, but I digress-), and radiated confidence in herself, and was a, "Lone Wolf" that never stuck around long, etc. All things that Casey is / does-?? Like, dude- How does this not make sense? 😭

• Michelangelo and Casey Jones (Caseangelo / "PepperoniPucks") !

This pairing is very fun in my opinion ! But I find it challenging to make any content with them in a romantic sense, because everything that I try to come up with for them that's meant to be a ship thing just comes off very platonic and "dude bro" because of their personalities- 😭 Lmao || But I honestly can see them because they had one of the most organic friendships within the series in my opinion ! Not that I'm trying to say that Raph and Casey weren't friends in 2012, because of course they were, but I feel like their friendship was very poorly handled by the writers in comparison to Casey and Mikey whose friendship felt so effortless / not as challenging on screen-? If that makes sense?

• Raphael and April O'Neil (Raphril) !

This one is purely fanon and based on my own interpretation of what April could've been like as a character if she was written better- Lmao || I know a lot of people find it kind of circumstantial and not as damning as it could be, but I feel like April and Raph had a lot of similarities within the series that go kind of unnoticed? Mostly referring to the fact that April had a lot of anger behind her that I feel gets overlooked with her character- She's always making the same facial expressions that Raph makes during situations in my opinion (Some examples below-), she's constantly shown to have a fiery attitude and (usually) has no problem talking back to people or making her opinion very clear when nobody asked for it which is something Raph does as well. Episodes like, "The Kraang Conspiracy" or "City at War" really showcase her anger or her angrier side as well. When she grows incredibly frustrated during her sparring match with Shinigami, that mirrored Raph a lot in my opinion, since we've seen him react similarly during episodes like, "The Good, the Bad, and Casey Jones" and "Mutant Gangland" with Leo.

They're also other things, not to harp on the anger that they both share too much- Like their clear love of and connection with animals, the way they're not the most physically affectionate people (Both have been shown to be kind of uncomfortable with hugging sometimes-), they both seemingly have their walls up to be honest, they both struggle with friendships (Despite these being writing issues, Raph's friendship with Casey was handled very poorly and April's friendships with pretty much all the characters felt very non-existent or not given enough attention-?), they both constantly complain about the others not taking things seriously enough, they both can be very competitive, they're both incredibly skeptical of other people, they both act on their own sense of justice (Meaning they'll do what they want even if Leo tells them no- Lmao), they both have high pitch screams (LMAO), etc. There's also narrative things such as both of them unintentionally starting the alien invasions of Season 2 and Season 3- 💀 LMAO

I just think that, if given the opportunity, Raph and April could've been really cool on screen ! Like April developing the same sense of humor that Raph does through constantly being around him (That sarcastic / snarky kind of humor-), those two building an animal shelter of some kind after seeing all the unhoused uncared for animals roaming around NYC, April being allowed to be unapologetically angry / frustrated around Raph and him not making her feel bad for that or like she needs to be this "composed / lady like" individual all the time, Raph recognizing April as a person and valuing her individualism and autonomy (Something I feel Donnie didn't do canonically- Raph's a girl's girl in my eyes. Hands down. Lmao), having those two play competitive ping pong since April enjoys ping pong (According to, "Target: April O'Neil"-), Raph 100% being the reason why April's combat skills improve since he wouldn't treat her like some "fragile thing" and I think it would be interesting for him to kind of see himself in her which is why he wants to see her rise above it?? You know??

I just think they could have been really special, I don't know- 😭👍 (They can also be the "smart + not as smart" trope like 2012 Jonatello is for me, since April technically would be the smarter out of the two of them- ❤️💛)

• Master Splinter / Hamato Yoshi and Tang Shen !

I know this one is a canonical established relationship / marriage, so it's not really like a, "ship" per se? I guess?? But I've always loved Splinter and Tang Shen ! I thought they were a cute couple ! Obviously their relationship needed some improvements from Splinter's end, but I don't think Splinter was ever incapable of fixing that, and I feel like if he had their relationship would've been THE relationship of 2012. Period. 😔🫶✨

Some honorable mentions??

• Leonardo and Timothy (Leothy) !

I'm putting this one in honorable mentions because it's more of a one-sided thing in my head-! I just can't help but think of how adorable and sweet it would have been if Timothy had this sort of crush / strong admiration for Leo as the Leader of the group, you know? Not that that crush would be super obvious though-? Since it mostly would just come across as Timothy fanboying all the time- LMAO || Something about their personalities just makes this "pairing" really cute to me !

• Karai and April O'Neil (AprilRai) !

This one is an honorable mention because I'm still 50/50 on it. I really like the art that people make about it, and that is what influences the positive 50 the most ! But then I remember their dynamic within the series and how (in my opinion) Karai was torn down by the writers whereas April was lifted up by them, despite both of them struggling in their own ways / being victims of things they genuinely weren't in control over. Not to mention April's just overall behavior and treatment of Karai even during Karai's redemption Arc during Season 4. Like, it boils my blood- Lmao || So I'm a little torn tbh,, !

Rise!:

• April O'Neil and Casey Jones (Capril) !

This is another instance where the art of these two really sold me on the pairing and I now think that they're very cute ! 😭🫶 || It also makes rewatching episodes like the one about the Girl Scouts cookies feel very different as far as April and Casey goes- LMAO

• Master Splinter / Lou Jitsu and Baron Draxum (BaronJitsu) !

Their interactions in the series were not helping their case at all- LMAO || I also totally get / respect Splinter and Big Mama as well !

• April O'Neil and Sunita (I'm unsure what their ship name is-??)

Again, it's mostly just the art that I see of these two that really sells me on it ! But their friendship within the series was one of my favorite things as well ! ✨

Mutant Mayhem / TOTTMNT:

• Leonardo and April O'Neil (Aprilnardo) !

THIS IS HOW YOU DO ONE OF THE BROTHERS HAVING A CRUSH ON APRIL IN MY OPINION, OKAY- 🗣️ (Looking DIRECTLY at 2012-) || Nothing on this Earth could ever convince me that these two are not the cutest thing imaginable. I'm totally fine if nothing comes of it in either the TOTTMNT series or the upcoming Sequel film ! I just think how Leo is when he talks about April and what not it's just super adorable and what I feel should be expected of a teen having a crush on somebody?? Like, it's so innocent and harmless- 😭🫶✨

(However, if Casey gets introduced anytime soon and I enjoy the dynamic between Casey and April more, I feel like I honestly wouldn't hesitate pushing Leo to the side and being like, "Yeah, sorry-" LMAO / But that depends on what the writers decided to do with Casey and how Casey interacts with April, etc. !)

Honorable mention:

Any MM / TOTTMNT Jonatello interpretations, cause I love those sm- 🫶✨ Lmao

IDW Comics:

• Jennika and Sheena !

I just love their relationship and how it was executed in the comics ! 🫶

• Donatello and Mona Lisa !

I don't really have much to say here, I just think that they're cute to look at / their personalities seem to mesh well with each other in my opinion !

Honorable mention:

• Raphael and Alopex !

I guess I was a little indifferent about them for a while, but I don't think they're a bad pairing ! They definitely felt a lot stronger when they were first introduced to each other in my opinion !

• April O'Neil and Casey Jones (Capril) !

Another situation where I enjoyed them a lot more at the beginning of the story, but then we got to the comics centering around the road trip to Cali and it made me start disliking the relationship personally,, 💀

I didn't put them under a specific category, but LeoSagi pairings for any version are also cool (As long as it's appropriate / not problematic as far as ages and whatnot- For example, I have a version of Usagi that I made that's completely separate from the Usagi that we see during S5 of 2012 to pair with 2012 Leo ! I like him a lot, he's a hare instead of a rabbit ! I need to draw them again sometime- 😔👍) ! Lmao

Am so tired.. i know its not my life but pushing all these rumours/pranks aside, god only knows could be true.. these are consistently popping up about them being with others, when HL are always in opposite ends of the world even when they’re not working, for their special days.. which makes believing in them that they’re still together.. what frustrates me more is that they’re milking this relationship too.. am sure in hs4, harry would drop something that is very obviously about louis.. at this point the only thing left for me is for my heart to catch up and stop hurting everytime i see something that proves that HL are with other people and not each other.. sorry Gina, i know you get these post more or less the same … i can only say thank you for your presence.. i’ve been away from twitter tumblr for a month now, beliving in my head that HL are together.. saw this on insta and felt nauseous..

It’s literally fake. The guy said it was a joke. You really have to step back and use a little common sense here.

First, would Harry Styles actually buy condoms and lube in public? No.

Second, if he actually bought condoms and lube in the manner that this guy said happened, how does this equate to him being or not being with any particular person? It doesn’t.

This is a relationship between two people you don’t know, who are never going to confirm if they’re together or not. If it is this upsetting to you, and affects your happiness to this level, maybe it’s time to rethink following them. At least for a while. ❤️

💌 ─── DISCUSSION AND OPINIONS

Hi everyone I was very hesitant to post about the whole situation but considering I'm pro-pal and pro-boycotter along with it I have used my account on twitter to always advocate and learn about pal and zionism I didn't wanted to stay silent on blr and give my opinions and discuss about the matter. So before anyone says let it go or just discuss in dms or anything — this is about artists associated with zionism which shouldn't be taken lightly at all and we all should learn and educate rather than sweeping everything under the rug. Before you read my opinion, I want to remind you this doesn't mean we can throw hate at any of them, holding people accountable and educating them is different than dragging them.

For context :: @cupidhoons aka liz, she posted one of her works with ‘Lana Del Rey’ — who is an American singer along with a proud zionist and because of that post Liz received comments and criticism.

About Lana Del Rey and her association with zionism :: she signed a letter thanking biden while he was funding the gaza genocide and also stated “We all want freedom for Israelis and Palestinians” which makes a neutral statement and before anyone says she has taken stand for Palestine — she clearly stated in her statement thanking Biden who is a zionist himself and only Hamas being blamed for the genocide in Palestine where she never once mentioned that Israel is doing ethenic cleansing and slaughtering people of Palestine and gaza, as soon as she supported Biden that was it!!

Now, About @cupidhoons or lizs’ statement along with the provided screenshos ::

WHEN she replied to one of the anons regarding the ‘separating art from artists’, it sounded very dismissive and ignorant towards the whole situation also if you're using a zionists’ song that have chances of some of the viewers will visit the song and give it a listen although I do understand it wasn't exactly ‘promoting a zionist song’ but it still derives the narrative in other manner but as @cupidhoons said she wasn't aware of Lana being a zionist so I'm not going to blame her or accuse her of being a zionist or zionism supporter. Since I believe there should have been a better approach to explain it to Liz but that doesn't justify I find Lizs’ posts and replies to be correct for the Zionism factor.

plus the fact she used her friends or mutuals statement about the definition of zionism (along with it she did use other resources which i appreciate) it was very misleading because

1. It's their opinion and definition of zionism — it's misleading because it's a public platform and this can change peoples’ perspective and actual meaning behind zionism although they did mention at first about the ethnic cleansing but later on moved to the part where they speak about ‘is you have to ask them as a muslim’:: you're not Palestinians or you're not suffering through genocide so being muslim doesn't mean you can change the term in any way or form if you have a different perspective then it shouldn't be used on public platform IT IS VERY MISLEADING no matter if you say that ‘I said my opinion’ it's a public platform people read and learn ESPECIALLY since you're a writer then you should edify and supervise your words.

2. They (liz and other writers) have used the fact that ‘as muslims’ — ‘killing muslims in benefit of ethnic cleansing' is again a very misleading sentence because Palestine is a land with different religions. There are Christians, Muslims and many people with different religions being slaughtered and it's about their land. “Glory to the resistance and glory to the martyrs” speaks for the resistance of Palestinians for their land, it's a fight against occupation and till liberation. So if you're not Palestinians or you're not using any useful resources for your words then it's dismissive and ignorant and also changes the narratives. And they have used it SEVERAL TIMES!!! (EDITED: i checked rn @theothernads have edited their statements but regardless, the narrative they used before matters here)

SO the fact they have that they, along with their friends and mutuals, believe it's killing of muslims is misleading and it's made me feel very indigent. Although they have used few correct definitions, meaning and resources which is appreciated. But the whole time liz did try to justify that being muslim has things to do with genocide sounded very ignorant and dismissive because occupation and apartheid has nothing to do with religion!! I hope she along with her friends or mutuals understand that being muslim doesn't give you the right to justify anything or even make your definition or statements.

Now moving to the part where they have spoken about enhypen and several kpop / pop artists :: let me tell you about ‘MONETARY HYBE BOYCOTT’ that started by ‘Army4Palestine’ a year ago! Which led a lot of different kpop fandoms to make their own account and educate their respective fandom regarding the Zionism association of their own respective kpop idols’ labels or company.

HYBE MONETARY BOYCOTT :: It was started by ‘Army4Palestine’ after Zionist Scooter Braun became the CEO of HYBE America and soon which lead to hybe associate themselves with zionism and they introduced alot of zionist producers who worked for several hybe artists such as BTS, TXT, ENHYPEN, ILLIT etc etc. Not only that but HYBE has signed 10 years contract with UMG — the CEO of UMG ‘Lucian Grainge’ is a zionist. So there is actually a monetary boycott of hybe going on and along with that a PRIORITY LIST was provided by them which we had to follow regarding the boycott. Which follows with we shouldn't stream any hybe artists music because it will provide revenue to HYBE which is now a zionist label and hence we are funding zionist label. I have more things to discuss regarding the hybe boycott which i will post very soon with evidences how hybe a zionist label and also how we can participate in monetary HYBE boycott. Aso I will talk about how disrespectful was hybe in the leaked report regarding Jake speaking up for starbucks boycott. So please wait for the post.

Although there are people who are boycotting all the labels or big 3 and others because there are some artists who aren't under any label associated with zionist but the labels have worked with zionist producers and JYP IS A ZIONIST TOO!!

So there is no room for argument about kpop or pop artists boycott because if your artist is under a zionist label — let me tell you there are alot of artists under umg and other zionist labels — then you should try to not stream their song rather choose alternatives as gdrive and apps or sites that doesn't give streams which again I will post and provide with my post related to hybe association with zionism and possibly including jyp. But but let me make this clear, ‘Army4Palestine’ is focused on hybe and BTS and the admins are Palestinians. But there are several accounts for other fandoms too as for enhypen there are ‘Engene4Pal’ and ‘Connect4pal’. And to add, the Boycott isn't focused on any artists before you assume it's the label since they are associated with zionism. But as the labels are associated with zionism we should participate in the monetary boycott of labels and hence which means we shouldn't stream our favs song too. ALONG WITH IT — HYBE MISTREAT THEIR GROUPS which again i will inform and advocate in my post so PLEASE WAIT FOR THE POST.

Now I'm assuming that Liz and other writers don't know about it, which I personally don't think they don't know but again I'm not friends with them so I cannot make any conclusions for what they support or what they are aware of so I'm not accusing them of anything. I do not mean to spread any hate to them, I hope and I genuinely want them to learn and educate themselves. I believe we all make mistakes and we should learn to accept it and educate from them. So please it's a request from my side to @cupidhoons @pshbites @theothernads @kairoot @ourhees @fluviorss @nshmuras @elysianiki (some of them rebloged so I'm tagging them) reflect on your statement and educate I'm not saying any of you are supporting zionism or are being zionist but all I want is to please look after the Muslim part and educate yourself. Because if being muslim did make us pro-pal then the the Arab countries who were silent through the genocide and neve gave any aid to Palestinians or didn't help them have muslim leaders. Along with it so many muslim aren't boycotting brands such as Coke, McD, Kfc, etc which are under the targeted list of BDS movement and also so many muslims are neutralist along with it so many Jewish have attended protest in different countries to support Palestine so it was never about the religion or religious justification.

Now to the part of being called zionist :: I'm confused about if @okwonyo aka ‘Jiah’ called the artist zionist and not Liz but if she did then Jiah should understand that it's a very strong term to use for anyone and shouldn't be overlooked or thrown around so she should learn and educate.

Now, About @okwonyo or jiahs’ statement along with the provided screenshos ::

I DO agree with @okwonyo where she said in the replies of anon @cupidhoons sounded dismissive and ignorant and she also justified the ‘separating art from artists’ statment which I hope @cupidhoons take under consideration and learn that art is nothing without an artist and if an artist is given a platform — that platform inspires youth and people look forward how is the artist using their platform and what are they supporting so the narrative is utter nonsense (directed towards the statement not person) so I hope she learns.

@cupidhoons has stated that she has learnt about Palestine for a long time and has joined several protest yet she used her friends words and statment for zionism which was questioning from my side because certainly if you have learnt from a long time then you might have educated yourself regarding the meaning behind the protest.

From the text you can see @okwonyo did inform her how using her song will provide streams which will provide revenue to Lana and @cupidhoons justified the statement by saying she isn't popular which sounded dismissive to the point which was raised by @okwonyo.

Now, @cupidhoons did say in her text that she felt accused of being a zionist which as I said I'm confused if @okwonyo directed it towards the artist because she did apologize and cleared in her post but again regardless @okwonyo should have made it clear in the dms itself that she wasn't accusing @cupidhoons of being a zionist. Regardless I really hope jiah understands that zionism is very strong term and it cannot be thrown here and there because people who are zionist justify ethnic cleansing and mass killing of people so I she educates herself about the term and also I was not a big fan of how Jiah responded to Liz regarding the whole situation although I do appreciate the fact she held liz accountable and tried her to educate of Lana being a zionist but maybe few evidence and reason along with a different terminology would have been made things better when she approached but that doesn't dismiss her valid reason to raise her point.

In the last Liz has said ‘this is Tumblr and I have life and education outside’ — I'm not more why this statement was used but liz needs to understand that Tumblr is also a public space especially knowing so many people have used it to advocate about zionism and Palestine so it sounded incomprehensive because again liz could have asked the reason or how is Lana a zionist of anything and also jiah should have added this along but both of them were somehow lack of enlightenment. Also @pshbites (i assume kaia is them if not then I'm sorry I tagged the wrong person) again used the justification of being muslim here was very much wrong and dismissive.

Now to the Ariana Grande part :: Ariana Grande has posted about Scooter Braun and he is a zionist and also she is under UMG which makes us not stream her songs too. And her supporting Palestine only has few things while she has thanked a zionist Scooter Braun for the role and shown open support to him along with an emotional message for him and also there are alot of infos provided by @ZionistsinFilm about her being under and connected to zionist so streaming or listening to her songs gives revenue and funds zionism too!!

Again here I'm not sure if @okwonyo is aware of not but adding to the point that whatever Jiah has stated regarding streams counts for every artist but she did say she has stopped listening to bp official songs but it counts for every artist so she looks out for her fav artist too. So there were a few moments where Jiahs’ approach and different use of wordings would have been better.

Now Personal feelings and thoughts :: Also I did send @cupidhoons anon messages where I did educate her regarding ‘separating art from artists’ but she didn't reply maybe she didn't see or she just ignored and also i replied in the replies to @ourhees about the same thing guess they have either blocked me or just ignored which is actually weirded me out since they are complaining about the part where @okwonyo didn't try to educate them but when I tried they both ignored which i didn't screenshot I'm sorry since I didn't know they might ignore AND AND let me add how do many people in the replies of @cupidhoons and @ourhees post are saying ‘clock it’ or ‘tell them’ etc etc out of which so many of them are writers and still none of them questioned the defination or Muslim part because how come are pro-pal but not once you overlooked the fact there are some incorrect wordings and statements because if you're pro-pal then have you never searched for the meaning of zionism or read the resources and if you have then why is there 'ohh clock it and tell them' but none of you have looked at the stances where you tried to educate them regarding their statements. And to the fact @kairoot and @ourhees sounded very ignorant in their posts and replies but I'm not accusing any of them of being a zionist but just sharing my feelings which doens't mean they are zionist or support zionism. And @cupidhoons has again used the Muslim factor.

At the end :: Both of them could have been less aggressive and maybe should have discussed with calmness while educating each other. I don't want to accuse anyone of being zionist or supporting zionism but the statements and points along with the approach could have been better. Acknowledgment and being conscious about the whole situation and acceptance of mistakes could have treated things differently but regardless since so many of you have said you stand for Palestine so I hope you learn and improve it's about educating yourself rather than being dismissive. I don't want anyone to step back or derive any narrative but rather erase and add a few things any of you didn't know about or can help to improve what you guys already know.

Not to be on mapi's side or anything like that but she definitely did not touch her and much less said that, I think we have to wait if this is investigated and what happens, because Daniela had not said anything and did not make any gesture of anything, in addition the espanyol club's statement said that it was a gesture not that she had touched her, and on top of that, they only came out to talk about this when it was posted on Twitter, anyway, everything is very strange anyway

anything is possible. the "gesture" thing is true. idk i don't think anyone can make excuses, she shouldn't have done that. i don't think she said what people think she said either, because they would have included that in their complaint i assume.

i don't think it's weird that it took a day for them to say something though. they had to consult their lawyers and their team and figure out what to do.

it's strange. she needs to apologize, and take whatever punishment she is given, and that's that. i hope caracas feels heard and supported.

[nesscel]

hi nesscel, I have a question about your oc! ^_^

has ever Cyril met/interacted with Ness after getting hired into the bllk project? if he did, how was it, and how did he react to seeing him for the first time irl?

I hope the question is not too boring to answer, btw!! I was interested in knowing about the way he perceives Ness now that he has the chance to be closer to him :)

(I saw on ur post that he has his sign, how cute🥲)

they have met! there’s a few scenarios i usually imagine for them that i’ll put under read more ^_^ to make a long story short it’s like this:

for additional context: Cyril and @kaiserposting’s Tsubasa share in the same universe :) so Ness is double crashing out. Why would Lord Kaiser leave me for disgusting bug Isagi and manipulative pest Tsubasa 😡😡😡

and before anime-ntality’s sensors activate and he makes another post about hating women and yumes ruining canon: we changed some details about how project blue lock works so our characters can be there without needing to replace any of the already existing ones and so they can make more money

their first interactions were at various fansigns and on social media, Ness retweeted a picture of the Ness shrine at one point and Cyril got another picture of it signed at the next fansign… just to let Ness know who his biggest dickrider fan was. you get it. so at this point he’s obviously in love and everything is great and even though Ness has to do fanservice and be nice to everyone he’s sweet and beautiful and kind and he’s only saying those things to him ^_^🩷❤️‍🩹

i wanna dump some more backstory. he’s not an “official” bllk staff member and his first job wasn’t even related to managing the program, he was looking for photographer gigs and they hired him to take photos of all the players that they’d sell as signed prints later (let’s be real, he only got hired because he cost less than professional photographers). he offhandedly mentioned that he needed to get a job to Anri who heard “CHEAP LABOR ALERT”, so if anyone asks he’s “from the social program for people with disabilities”. so he basically just does whatever task Anri gives him, like moving crates of water and gatorade or sorting everyone’s medication into little psych ward cups or going to the store because Ego is a little hungover and wants chicken soup and electrolytes. if a beautiful woman told you to do some bullshit then praised you for doing such a good job and handed you some money once in a while you’d do it too.

anyway, this may be wishful thinking but i think Ness would find the concept of someone being that into him a little alluring… especially if Kaiser and him were having marital spats. it feels good af for a bpd to have a groupie. Cyril felt sort of weird seeking out interaction from someone he had a parasocial relationship with, but he was put in a lot of situations where it wasn’t that awkward because Tsubasa and him became basically instant besties, and if Tsubasa is somewhere then Kaiser and Ness are too, so they had a chance to actually get to know each other outside of the idol/fan or work dynamic. Cyril was a bit surprised that Ness was, for a lack of a better term, a weird crybaby theater kid, but they’re both weird freaks who want to have a good day no matter what so he was still like #NeedThat and pined over him and acted tsundere if anyone even mentioned Ness and sighed wistfully watching him from across the field (he’s on the field to take pics of everyone training. BLTV is getting a twitter!)

since i love negativity and suffering sometimes i imagine Cyril actually getting the courage to tell Ness that he likes him and Ness saying that he’s flattered/he likes him too but if he was in a relationship he’d be violating his loyalty to Kaiser and Kaiser is the most important person to him. so all Cyril can do is watch Ness pine after Kaiser and spend his every waking moment with Kaiser and cry over Kaiser and be sad and limerent. YAY!

and then there’s the other scenario where they actually start d*ting… WOJFIDKFODNTRKKFNSSI-8;!:@83);&/6;£[!,*😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮 <- this is what being in love feels like.

cyril is a real lover which is why he asks REAL questions like this ^

(ness would ask people if theyd love him if he was a worm though -_- and he’d be super serious about it 🪱)

—- he knows. ft schlatt. ᝰ

summary: after a bizarre discovery about your favourite streamer, you continue to fall down the rabbit hole of his other content. you were pleasantly surprised to find he also done audio's, and couldn't resist listening to his latest post.

— tags: smut, lunch club!schlatt, mutual masturbation.. technically?, schlatt does porn (duh), dirty talk, open ending again

authors note: helloo, part 2 has been served!! appreciate the love towards my first post, so i had to get this one out to you guys asap. once again, this wouldn't be possible without the lovely @fanficfox and her lovely mind! hope you all enjoy, and don't forget to lmk your thoughts!! ♡

it had been a few weeks since the day you had found schlatt featuring in fucking twitter porn of all places

you'd be lying if you said you hadn't looked again

of course you had

and not just at the original video. you had found a mix of older and newer videos

some were solo, some were with another girl

and either way, you watched them

something you had also found however, was a link to his other content. it was hosted on a website to soundgasm

interesting name, you thought, but alright

and boy were you glad you clicked

you were met with a profile— schlatt's profile— but it was under a completely different alias

but there were tons of audios on the site, dating back to even last year

you felt almost overwhelmed with how much content there, the audios having a wide variety of themes, and the lengths being short, small instances to long played out scenes

you had your night set for you, and you didn't know which one to choose

until you seen one had recently been uploaded, in fact it was posted just an hour before you had found the site

intrigued, you clicked onto the link and got yourself into bed, snuggled under the covers as you pressed play on the audio

the second you pressed play, you were instantly met with heavy breathing— low, deep almost needy-like breaths were being let out, as if he had been holding back for too long

there's a faint shuffle, slight movement before a small exhale escapes his mouth

and he's finally starting

the slick, slow slide of his hand can be heard, and the wet noises begin to fill your ears

you hear how quickly his breathing gets uneven, as he shifts between low grunts and muffled curses

it's not long before he starts talking into the mic, his low and raspy voice sending a shiver through your body, your thighs squeezing instinctively

"fuck, been thinking about this all day,"

"i've just been— shit— so fucking hard, waiting to do this. been wanting it so bad,"

the way he speaks, his voice switches from steady to uneven interchangeably, and it somehow turns you on even more

"bet you'd love watching me, huh? bet you'd fucking get off to it,"

he chuckles to himself lowly for a moment, before he continues, "fuck, who am i kidding. i bet you already are. or at the very least, you're already soaked for me, sweetheart,"

a small whine escapes you from his words because fuck, he was so cocky, and yet so right. the slick was coating between your thighs, there was a pool of warmth sitting in your core that wasn't leaving anytime soon

the audio continued on, schlatt continuing to jerk off and talk you through as he did. giving you visuals through groaned explanations, telling you when he was stroking or squeezing

you had slipped your hand under your pyjama bottoms, allowing your fingers to graze over your underwear as you pressed against your core, rubbing gently along with schlatt

it was nearing the end of the audio, when schlatt's breaths got more erratic and his talking became more frequent

"fuck— getting close.. 'm not gonna last,"

what could only be described as a whine escaped him, before he coughed and cut himself off with a low chuckle

"but i know you— you, sweetheart— i know you're listening in,"

you were sure this was another bit to entice the viewer in and make it more personal, and you weren't complaining. you sped your fingers up, rubbing the fabric against you faster, creating a nice friction

"and i know you'll be getting off to this, cause you seem fuckin' filthy. but let me— shit, let me ask you one thing," he started again, voice shaking more than ever

you knew he was close, and so were you

he groaned deeply, leaning closer to the mic before speaking up, "i know you asked whether i've been told i talk too much, but i know you like it, like it enough to tease me about it live,"

your mouth dropped and your fingers froze momentarily, as if edging yourself for a few seconds, but they sped up again when you heard schlatt moan loudly through the audio

his chair creaked and the moans came spilling out of his mouth, little fuck's along the way as he eased himself through the orgasm. the sounds were even wetter than before, mixing in with his stuttered breath was all you needed to hear to send yourself over the edge

you came just after schlatt, the wetness soaking and staining your underwear as you rode out the orgasm, practically humping your fingers as you whined to yourself, revelling in his breathy groans

there was no outro to the audio, just a simple "see you next time, fuckin' slut," before it cut out, and you were left in a haze

nevermind from just the orgasm, but the fact he had referred to you during the audio, you had been on his mind all day from your teasing

you didn't know how to feel, or what exactly to do. but one thing was for certain

you were going to be back in his next stream, making sure to mention tonight.

[sophieinwonderland]

I think you're being silly about the tag. I tagged it as AI art to let people know it was made by AI. Something which was requested when I posted the picture originally.

As for AI using people's art without permission... yeah... that's a problem. But solutions for that problem are complicated.

The fact is that AI is ultimately just looking at art and using that to learn how to make art similar to how artists do. Using pictures as reference is also a common practice among artists. I could look at an image you made, draw a different character in a similar pose based on that, then sell that picture and profit off of it... and it's completely legal.

And there's not really much that can be done about this issue.

Maybe you make consumer protections so that all generative AI companies in the US need to get the permission of the artists for their training data. Great! But all those pictures are still freely available on the internet, and there will be some countries that won't have those restrictions. It's the same reason pirating shows and movies is still possible despite hosting those sites being illegal in the US. Could we start banning all of those foreign services that won't have our restrictions? Sure. Although I don't personally like the idea of further restricting internet access. (For the same reason, I strongly dislike the TikTok ban.)

But even if we did that, have you considered how that's going to go?

Companies are going to get artists to sign away the rights to their art anyway!

It would be expensive for AI companies to pay every single artist whose art they use for training data. So they won't. They'll instead go to websites like Tumblr and Twitter and Facebook and DeviantArt, and they'll offer those companies money for their data. Then those companies will update their terms of service to let users know that their data will be used as training data. And most people will click the checkbox without even reading the terms and conditions, signing away their art the same way they've signed away their privacy on social media sites already.

Yes, AI companies would have to buy their training data in this universe where these restrictions are passed. But it's not the artists that will see profit from it. It's the social media companies.

Artists will fight tooth and nail to not have their art taken to be used as training data. They'll get this "win" that will be treated as a huge success for artists. And the end result is that the social media companies where the art is posted will be the only ones to turn a profit from their effort. And after that "success," I expect a lot of the anti-AI sentiment will dissipate because the corporations who have been pushing it in the media will have gotten their slice of the AI pie.

Maybe this attitude seems defeatist...

My opinion is that it sucks that generative imagery is probably going to put a lot of actual artists out of business.

But I also don't think there's a realistic solution to the problem that actually protects artists in the long term. I think this is a battle that's already been lost. Fighting it is, at best, delaying the inevitable. It will be like fighting against the invention of the printing press, the loom, the automobile, or the internet itself.

Finally, generating images on free image creators doesn't support AI financially. If anything, it drains money from the AI companies that do this.

As long as you never pay for anything and just stick with the free samples, you're really just robbing them.

Side ramble about AI art.

Someone asked on the other blog if there's an image was AI generated.

It is.

And that is terrifying.

Because yeah, you can tell that this is AI. It just has that type of look. But when I was writing the prompt on Bing's AI generator, I didn't expect it to work.

It was an experiment that I was almost certain would fail.

In the past, when I have seen artificial intelligence write text, it's usually in the wrong order. You will get letters that are arranged seemingly randomly.

I had no idea it was currently possible to type in specific text and then have it create that. And not just create it, but to follow the prompt that asked specifically for that text to be "scratched into stone walls" of a ruined church.

I actually think Dorian and Orym should fight more.

Remember when their slowly building tension over and entire episode (full of passive aggressive remarks and blame throwing) led to threats? And how after, Orym thanked Dorian for handing over the crown sadly because he knew Dorian would be mad at him? And Dorian couldn't even look at him because he was legitimately hurt, thinking Orym was disappointed in him for doing what he thought was right? That was peak.

The fact they went from that to their current closeness and trust is the best part of their entire dynamic. Their relationship was hard fought and still will be. They will fight for it because they respect and care for one another deeply, and their disagreements don't change that, only improve it.
