So... Pokémon has officially revealed the Top 300 quarter-finalists for the TCG illustration contest. I myself have participated, but unfortunately, did not make it. There were many awesome artworks!!
However... there has been a suspected case of an individual who entered with multiple identities (similar initials) through AI generated entries - V.K shows up in 6 entries. The weird and unnatural proportions, position, angle (look at vaporeon for instance) all give away indications of AI too.
The rules have clearly outlined multiple identities to lead to disqualification, yet the judges failed to take account into the suspicious number of similar styles appearing more than three times (surprassing the maximum number of 3 entries) with the initials.
"The rules in the contest affirmed that: submissions must be submitted by the Entrant. Any attempt, successful or otherwise, by any Entrant to obtain more than the permitted number of Submissions by using multiple and/or different identities, forms, registrations, addresses, or any other method will void all of that Entrant's Submissions and that Entrant may be disqualified at Sponsors' reasonable discretion."
This is very disappointing, Pokemon TCG. Not even just disappointing, this is very shameful and distasteful to artists who did not make it.
Edit: There also seems to be 2 more entries that are ai prompts but under a different name (pikachu sleeping with a background night landscape and another one sleeping on a tree root)
Here is a really good educational thread that explains the errors in the ai work (on Twitter)
UPDATE: on Twitter pokemon tcg actually addressed the issue, has disqualified the person with multiple identities and will be selecting more entries from other artists!!
#pokemon tcg#pokemon illustration contest#pokemon tcg contest#pokemon illustration contest 2024#pokemon#ptcgic 2024#honestly...i am glad i did not make it in. Imagine getting in but all is talked about is the genAI “work”#Anyhow#congrats to all artists who have made it!!! (except for the folks who made these prompts)

#bakuspeech#update on the situation: is mostly contained. it'll take a fair bit to make up for how much it's kicked us in the nuts#but it's doable. just Very annoying and tedious and sudden and overall it just sucks#esp. like right up close to my birthday lmao. like if it happened earlier this year I'd be like alright. sucks shit but par for the course#this year has already been so fucked up. this might as well happen#but since it's happened in december it really brings on the feeling of like. fr bitch?#right in front of my cake? me the birthday boy? the specialest fucking boy?#but well. theres a Thing around here that's ur birthday usually being the unluckiest day#but also we're the kind of folks who track death dates rather than birthdays. like up until very recently#all four of my grandparents have unspecified birthdays. their birth years aren't even correct. on paper they're like#a few years older than they actually are#and my granddad on my dads side was even from a family of some means so it wasnt even a class thing#man. last year Something was happening around this time too. idr what but it also sucked#mmm. well. what is really just is. and I've already taken a hammer to it anyhows#I'll do the same for the birthday thing. it Will be fucking good. I take a hammer to it#I'm very glad I still get some commissions even tho it was practically right up to noel#you guys are very generous. I don't say it as often as I should I think but I'm very very thankful for the support#glad to hang out around here still. glad to have the folks I have here. thank u for chillin with me#please look forward to the itch store update. got a new thing along with the old things ported over. stay tuned

...I might have to make peace with the fact that my current artstyle and energy levels lend themselves better to cell shading than to painterly shading
#I have nothing against cell shading or anything it's fine#some of my favorite artworks I've completed are cell shaded#it's more my frustration with being unable to figure out how all my favorite illustration styles manage to color their work#also my wrist has been acting up again and I finally made a doctor's appt. to make sure it's nothing I should worry about#here's hoping it's nothing serious and that it won't affect my art making#but anyhow painterly stuff can look so cool but it is so time consuming and frustrating and not fun#might play around with trying to mix cell shading and some more smaller painterly stuff that doesn't drive me crazy#it's just weird to think for so many years I've been trying to figure out a good shading style#and cell shading or no shading at all may end up being the best fit for me#anywho that's all for tonight folks#oracle of lore

You know what? I've spent a lot of time wondering if I'm ace or aro because I don't fully relate to allo perspectives on sexual or romantic attraction but I think I've found the answer I can give to people
"I'm pan! Would you like to open Pandora's box?"
#The true answer is big and complex and ever changing so fuck it#Labels are cool and all but if none of them fit you just right why bother?#How I see it anyhow#No shade to the folks who DO bother mind you. I just don't see the point

It's Tuesday! That means a new chapter of Catch A Taste Of Humanity!
A Hannibal/The Sandman crossover featuring The Corinthian/Will Graham/Hannibal Lecter for your reading pleasure. Post-Canon for Hannibal, Pre-Canon for The Sandman (technically that specific part of mid-canon where Dream's in the fishbowl and the Corinthian is living his best life). Canon-Compliant for both shows, with established Will Graham/Hannibal Lecter.
In this busy chapter Hannibal spots an interesting face at the Cereal Convention, the Corinthian entertains some company, and Will discovers that there's a supermarket on the ground floor of Mozart's birthhouse. Oh, and a murder happens.
This story's got everything - a bit of a case fic, a bit of crack treated seriously, a bit of character study and lots of innuendo (of the sexual and the cannibal variety because we're freaks of class). The only thing it doesn't have is smut because the author firmly believes we need more Corinthian works without explicit sexual content.
With a word count of 3k this chapter brings the story total up to 11.3k.
#the sandman fic#hannibal fic#this one's the chapter where the plot happens - we're diving into the nice violent stuff folks!#it's a bit longer than the rest but I'm still keeping the promise to myself to make them less than 5k#we'll see how that goes as the story progresses#anyhow that's all for me this Tuesday. see you in a week#something dark and sinister has reared its ugly head onto this heinous earth

The images are (by row, top to bottom, left to right): Chance+Sham, Chance+Sham, Capricia+Gwain+Andromache+Tzu kinda, Thessalyn, Chance+Sham (2015-2021 art improvement meme), Fenrah, my tortle from DnD, Basil, and finally Chance (again). All images are cropped; full versions on my website, which is linked at the bottom of this post if you want to skip to that!
So, hi there! I used to post a bunch of art related to Abigail Hilton’s novels here, primarily those set in the world of Panamindorah; the Pirates of Wefrivain series, and the Prophet of Panamindorah and associated short stories. You can scroll back if you want to see that, but it’s all quite old and not very good. Still, I have unpassword-protected this blog, so you may view it if you so wish.
I no longer post on Tumblr, but I thought I’d let any interested fans (of Abbie, not me) know that I have a website I update occasionally where I share fanart of her works (alongside DnD art, original art, and works for other assorted fandoms — it’s primarily Panamindorah/Abbie art, though). The above artworks are (cropped) examples of what’s on the site. Each image comes with an associated mini-ramble (much shorter than a real ramble).
Please note that Neocities free accounts have some bandwidth issues; the introduction on my art page explains a little more of what to expect from a site like this (in general, this is very much ‘amateur, free, static’ web design, as opposed to something professional. tl;dr: it loads like shit. You may find that charming, you may not).
I also have a Dreamwidth, where one can leave anonymous (or logged-in) comments regarding my art, or start a conversation (you don’t have to care about my art to talk to me), and where I plan to post rambles (many of which will be related to Abbie’s works...again, primarily those set in Panamindorah, and to be quite honest, mostly Prophet of Panamindorah...I’m a Chance Windar man, myself). I’m not a prolific poster, so if this sounds interesting, but the idea of being flooded with art and rambles doesn’t, fear not. Although, if you like people who make things with great speed, uhhhh... (creeps back into boggy, slow-paced swampland). Can’t provide, don’t plan to.
Please note that this is not a portfolio-style website. WIPs, unfinished works, scribbles, doodles, and other scraps find their way onto my website, alongside more polished/complete/almost-complete works. I like that sort of thing, but you might not. There is also an on-site blog, although it’s mostly for ‘assorted nothings’. Lengthy entries will probably end up on Dreamwidth.
My second note is that there are (or will be) three art pages; the first is mostly SFW, although there is mild shelt (or other ‘fantastical people with no obvious genitalia’) nudity, kissing, and cuddling. The second page has more sensual or explicit works. The third page will be for (if I find the courage) more kinky, dark, or violent works. The whole site is technically Chose Not To Warn, but most adults should not have too much trouble browsing the main art page (and probably the first of the explicit pages). My website is intended primarily for adults. Links to the more explicit pages are marked as such, so those who aren’t interested should be able to avoid them easily (the third page doesn’t even exist yet).
Both my website and my Dreamwidth have RSS feeds. The blog on Abbie’s website also has an RSS feed, which can be useful if, like me, newsletters and your email go together about as well as oil and water.
Anyhow, links!
My Website (links directly to the main art page)
My Dreamwidth (this links directly to the journal entry for commenting)
About RSS feeds
More about RSS feeds
My Android RSS feeder (you do not need to use this, it’s just an example)
My Website’s RSS feed (you copy and paste these urls into your RSS feeder)
My Dreamwidth’s RSS feed (ditto above)
Abbie’s blog’s RSS feed; her newsletter is mirrored here for those who have trouble with email newsletters. (ditto above)
That’s all. As said, I don’t intend to return to Tumblr. I just wanted folks to know that other Abigail Hilton/Panamindorah fans exist out there. I know this website is very into Hunters Unlucky (sorry, I’m very bad at drawing animals; I do enjoy the books) so I should warn all you lovely folks that I don’t make much on that front. Maybe one day, though? I should be drawing more than Chance Windar and Sham Ausla (but Chance Windar and Sham Ausla have my heart). I suppose characters who aren’t animals (shelts are fine) are far more likely to show up, in the end.
May you all be happy and well!
#abigail hilton#the pirates of wefrivain#the prophet of panamindorah#chance windar#the guild of the cowry catchers#anyone can follow but i admit a preference for kink-friendly art-and-fantasy-friendly chill adults who enjoy rubbish scribbles once every#one to two to three to four months depending on my mood haha#if uninterested feel free to ignore and may you have a lovely day (waves)#to those who seek conversation please note i am exceptionally slow to respond because i am trying very hard to make a reply that doesnt suck#and time unfortunately is poorly perceived by my senses (but i will try)#and if you know my actual name you do not need to use the one provided on the website#in the end of course i may never update again but at least those interested get to see what i posted thus far and enjoy it so no real harm#in sharing all this i suppose!#guestbooks cost money or have ads which is why i use dreamwidth for comments for the record#i am also not expecting much if any interest but i figure i should give folks a wave anyhow!

During past week or two of my returning to the fandom, I've noticed alot of people just, deny there's anything homoerotic in Kuroshitsuji. Which is so funny to me bc...
Just look at it
Yes, their relationship is extremely complex, dark and twisted; we all get it. Which is actually the whole point and appeal of their dynamic to me, whether its seen as ship or not. It's certainly not relationship goals <3 or parental roles <3
“I do not need a thousand souls, I only need one.”
#it'll be like if someone denied gayness in X it'll be so funny#i get vast majority of folks are uncomfortable with sebaciel which i sort of get cuz ciel is so young#but when canon material looks like that how can you expect noone ships them?#anyhow I'm in for angst tragedy and psychological torture per usual#whether it's read as psychosexual or not doesn't rly all that matter to me#kuroshitsuji#sebaciel

BAND AU BAND AU BAND AU BAND AU BAND AU OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!
would LOVE to hear more about it!!! how does it differ from canon tsams?
RGHHH I TYPED OUT AN ANSWER TO THIS BUT I WAS AT AN EVENT AND TUMBLR DELETED MY RESPONSE-
okay so. everyone works at the pizzaplex, but only Sun, Moon, and Lunar are related. Earth recently arrives to the plex and is given charge of a performance to boost revenue for the theatre; the daycare department isn't making enough profit to justify the money poured in, and management is threatening to shut it down in a few months if it doesn't improve.
The creator just so happens to have a studio rented out (how convenient...), and Earth calls up all the other animatronics in their department to join in and help with setting up an orchestral performance (fun fact: all of them have theatre capabilities programmed into their base code, so they all have the ability to perform and play instruments!), which they do, albeit reluctantly. Finding recruits is fairly difficult considering there are no human staff and only 5 animatronics, but they make do and ask folks from other divisions to pitch in as well.
(Solar and Eclipse do exist in this au, but their backgrounds are a bit...different from the cannon security breach shows.)
#asks#celestial symphony au#tsams au#rambles#guys please ask questions about my aus if you find them interesting#this one's really new and asks help me flesh out the details when planning these sort of things#anyhow#thanks again!#earth and the brothers are friends but not siblings#solar works concessions at the theatre so they don't see him much#his story is different from the main one simply because i don't feel like divulging in interdimensional theories and whatnot#so he has a similar story to solar in my witch au#ahaha ahem#eclipse's story is also very very different#so feel free to ask about them folks#didn't talk about all that here because i didn't think it made sense to bunch it all here#then again the question is about divergences from cannon so it probably would've made sense to put that...#but uh basically#there isn't going to be a star#or any interdimensional stuff#lunar (probably) won't blow up#(if he does it's not eclipse's fault)#bloodmoon exists in this au as do jack solar flare and ruin#there aren't any ships because that complicates things and i prefer to focus on plot rather than relationships#(and cuz i don't know how to talk about those so uhh)#the only relationship here is monty and earth#and mmmaybee kidscove possiblyyy..?#i dunno we'll see where this goes#i never actually finished those refs#thanks for dropping by!

slow burn // retired // roomate !! simon "ghost"riley
- his self preservation and self control hangs by a string around you
- some fireworks after the fourth of july give him greater incentive to hate america, the sweltering heat, and the near altercation he gets into with your lecherous older neighbor in the building who puts his hand on the small of your back in the elevator. he recognizes the way you flinch, the way you nearly drop the grocery bag you insisted on carrying. the way you already react to small spaces already make you suck on bottom lip in discomfort.
simon riley has left the building and ghost emerges as he’s about to shove the old man out the elevator. in an instant you’re pulling him by the wrist, muttering that his death is coming to him already, he’s practically senile.
the rest of the week he’s in a foul mood, smoking out his bedroom window, sulking, and unable to sleep. cycling between self loathing, and an urge to protect you. he knows that you’re capable of taking care of yourself, but you shouldn’t have to always to do everything alone. yet he knows he’s not the kind of man you deserve anyhow.
- he starts calling you angel
after you leave him this note in your colorful script: “sometimes when my week goes to shit, cake for breakfast tends to sort everything out.” beside the angel cake with pale blue icing.
the dust settles after that, he knows he hasn’t scared you away.
- after your overachieving performance at work he makes your favorite meal. when you ask if it’s a family recipe his laughter is bitter. you recognize his hurt as your own, tell him you don’t answer calls from your folks either. he almost tells you about his asshole father, the grief of wanting to call tommy from beyond the grave, the absence of a mother. but, he doesn’t want to open old wounds- he’d rather be with you.
so instead he plays your favorite film on dvd because even if he’s trying to change, he hates flicking through all the streaming services on your tv. when you try to grab the dvd case with “sticky fingers” he hangs his arm over the couch out of reach. when you clamber over his body in protest, he holds his breath trying to keep his cock from expressing all his bone deep desire for you to stay on top him. you tuck a cushion under his neck and because you’re trying to kill him you ask if you can lie on top of him.
if it was anyone else he would’ve registered it to be suggestive but you’re adorable as you lie on top of him limbs spread out focused on the tv, kicking your feet during your favorite scenes.
- you fall asleep on his chest exhausted from the long hours, softly snoring, making little gasps for air as you sleep. and he can’t love you, because you deserve more than we he can offer. but you’re so sweet when your sleeping he gently twirls the ends of your hair between his forefinger and thumb. when the credits roll the music stirs you, pressing yourself into him before you realize where you are.
simon’s too drunk on you to be apologetic muttering something about how soft your hair is. you lift your head up and ask half asleep, “do you have any hair?”
he laughs enough for you to realize how out of place you must seem. you push yourself up embarrassed, wiping drool from the corner of your mouth prepared to apologize for assuming or prying, and using his body as a pillow.
because simon is falling in love with you in a way that makes him stupid, he tugs off his mask in a fluid motion.
you study his face with open eagerness. you don’t flinch, you don’t look surprised, and your eyes aren’t a filled with pity. instead you reach for his hair and hesitate until he nudges his head into your hand like cat waiting to be petted. you play with his hair, trace his jaw, and stare at his mouth.
“you’re such a pretty boy.”
you say it almost under your breath. and he feels eighteen years old with a crush. he doesn’t feel like a man hardened by the anguish he’s seen, he feels so young in your arms.
he wants to kiss you ask for for more than your mouth, ask for your heart, ask for you to stay in this apartment forever. he doesn’t. he throws you over his shoulder and you’re off balance with wanting. when he gently drops you into your bed, returns to the door and wishes you a good rest as he shuts your door you feel a little empty.
- the next morning he’s wearing his mask again watching football on the couch, muttering something to you about fresh orange waiting for you with the breakfast he made.
this is a prequel for this fic:
#simon ghost x reader#simon riley x reader#slow burn#roommates to friends to lovers#simon ghost riley x reader#he’s gonna love himself whether he likes it or not#pining#jean writes

I probably should've written what I put in the tags into the body of the post but I was too far in
ppl have made fun of me for double spacing after end punctuation so i want to know if theres anyone else who learned that ur supposed to double space after end punctuation when u learned typing
example: This is cool. You are cool, too!
pls reblog for larger sample size
#i completely understand where the confusion comes from!#double spacing is an old technique we kept around from the typewriting days#like QWERTY keyboards and what have you#well anyhow - standard typeface on typewriters were monospaced and didn't have the capability to take into account the amount of space#space needed between sentences to be legible#so it was standard practice to double space after the end of a sentence to keep it tidy.#Nowadays the standard typefaces we use aren't monospaced and do take into account legibility between sentences#so there's no longer a need for double spacing.#Except (like with QWERTY keyboards and old typing practices that may or may not be the most comfortable or efficient) the practice stuck#around in old typing curriculums (even being taught in some schools to this day) meaning quite a lot of people grew up learning what's#now an outdated practice#whereas newer typing curriculum tends to cut it#leaving two groups of people - folks who learned that double spacing is necessary and folks who just never learned it at all#(or the secret third group - people who double spaced who quit the habit)#Ultimately it's a harmless habit! But as someone who works in publishing circles#I have seen an uptick in publishers specifically stating they do not want to see double spacing in the manuscripts they receive.
