I like to think that if you're in a fandom space posting AI art, it's because you just aren't aware of why that might be a problem.

So in case you aren't aware: the generative AI you might be using to create "fanart" is trained on a countless number of artworks created by artists whose permission was not asked. Or maybe it was, technically, intentionally buried in a terms of service document somewhere, or in an update which they could either accept or else delete an entire social media account with years of history. This "art" is only possible because of stolen art. When you post images created by generative AI, you are supporting that.

Also, fandom is about creation and community. Individuals and groups creating art of all sorts, and sharing it with each other. When you post AI art... you haven't really created anything. To me at least, that's kind of detracting from what fandom is about. I want to share and raise up works of art that my community has worked hard to create, not something generative AI spit out from a couple key word inputs.

I can't tell anybody here what to do. If you are posting AI art, I'm sure there are some people who will like it, who will share it, who will be happy to do so. But there will also be people who aren't happy about it. There will be people – and especially artists – who will be frustrated to see other people in their community who support this technology that has stolen directly from them. There will be people who will block you, who will refuse to interact with your posts, and it will make your community smaller.

I understand it's tempting, especially if you aren't an artist yourself. But if you want art that fits a specific prompt, there are other ways to get it that actually support the fandom community: submit your prompt to a fanartist who accepts prompts, or commission someone for a piece of art, or even give it a try yourself and start learning to actually make art!

I don't hate AI as a whole. I think there are a lot of really amazing things we can do with AI, if it's used correctly. But posting AI fanart is not one of them.

A lil Hunter to fight art block

AU set during turn back the pendulum -- Kisuke somehow finds and brings back a naturally-evolved arrancar Ichigo

Everyone thinks that's Kisuke's new rapid guard dog, and considering how attached he is to the captain, he sometimes can be. Hiyori has tried kicking Kisuke significantly less ever since Ichigo showed up. The first time she tried it around him, he grabbed and threatened her, not knowing this was a normal occurence between the two.

Aizen is of course interested in Ichigo, but the other always knows how to avoid him.

Generally I'd like to think that everyone's wariness to the arrancar among them quickly vanished when they realized he's too easy to read and not nearly as bloodthirsty as they originally feared. In fact, despite his seemingly uncaring tough-guy attitude, Ichigo has been spotted in Rukon interacting with and watching over children from time-to-time, or helping the Captain Commander carry things since he doesn't want the old man overworking himself
