Quick note to people who use Kat's art / characters!!

How to Properly Use Kat's Content!

Get my permission first! [Ask in my DMs]

Credit me!

That's it lol

I don't mind that much but I would appreciate it if people asked me first. I don't have a problem with people using my art for profile pictures, chat bots [NOT NSFW], reposting on social medias I'm not in, Discord emojis, etc.

Let's just be reasonable, yeah? （＾∀＾●）ﾉｼ

What Not to Do!

Don't use my art to sell!

Don't use my characters for anything NSFW!

Don't use it to generate AI art/images/videos!

If you're reposting my art, don't tell people it's yours! Don't impersonate me either!

Don't make/add anything strange or inappropriate using my content/characters!

If you're not doing anything listed then I'm good with almost anything as long as you credit me.

[You're also free to ask me in DMs if you wanna do something with my works/characters that you're not sure will breach my boundaries.]

What do you do if you see somebody:

Selling my art?

- REPORT THEM! These people absolutely do not have my permission! They take other artists' art as well, it's not just me!

Reposting my art without credit?

- Tell them to give me credit! If they delete your comment / claim that it's theirs, report them! If they comply then leave them be.

Pretending to be me in social medias that aren't Youtube, Tiktok, Tumblr, Bluesky, and Twitter?

- Report them!! Don't impersonate me.

Using my art / characters in ChararacterAI, etc.?

- As long as it's a SFW bot and it has credits, leave them be.

- If it's inappropriate / an NSFW bot of my characters, report it!

Alright, Have fun guys. ✌️

Etoiles: GG, GGGGGs [Laughs]

Phil: That was like "The Power of Friendship" moment, we just like– [Laughs]

Etoiles: Bro, I just hold your hand, I hope Kristin is not watching!

Phil: [Slaps his desk while laughing]

Etoiles: I'm sorry, I was casually holding–

Phil: Listen, I have two hands, it's fi– [Bursts into laughter again and slaps his desk]

Etoiles: It's ok, oh, it's ok. [Laughs] It's just– it's just video game! It's just pixels! It's ok!

Phil: It's just Boosty-Cars. [Laughs] Oh my god. I'm lightheaded.

College Students! Karushuu where Karma is also a semi-famous streamer and Gakushuu is trying his best to not be recognized by his viewers.

Karma posts pranks, challenges and reacting videos on Youtube, and streams bad video games on Twitch. He loves playing the worst games just to rage about them, and people follow him to hear him insult the work of developers. He sometimes talks about his boyfriend but never reveals his name so the chat can only speculate about who that mysterious partner is.

Gakushuu is an Economics Management student who's trying to reach MIT. He doesn't hang out with the other students, doesn't talk much about his life, and has very little social media presence. He's careful to never show himself on camera when his boyfriend is streaming.

One day when he's having zoom class, Gakushuu can't stay in his own room because his neighbors are apparently having some work done, so he goes to Karma's apartment. Someone recognizes the streamer's decor and tweets about it.

Another day, Gakushuu comes to the college with his boyfriend's sweatshirt, and someone realizes it and asks him if he follows the streamers too.

Another day, Karma forgets to turn off the camera and leave the live when he finishes the stream, and the viewers can get a glimpse of Gakushuu's arm when he comes to give his boyfriend some food.

Every day people around him suspect him to be the boyfriend and every day Gakushuu has to dismiss them. When the fans find Gakushuu's Twitter account, Karma feels obliged to tell his followers to please not spam that poor student who simply wants to complete his last year in peace, and pretends that they have nothing to do with each other. Unfortunately, it doesn't work.

Gakushuu can't wait to fly to USA and be around people who don't follow a Japanese streamer.

open ai made a little post about how they chose their chatbot voices and two things stood out to me:

a) I am genuinely pleased and surprised that the voices come from specific real people that they hired and paid, rather than being built off of all of the data open ai has scraped. the voice for siri did one job for one company 20 years ago and now she is literally everywhere without ever being compensated by apple or even acknowledged as the voice. there's simply no way she was paid enough in that original job. whereas, open ai says "each actor receives compensation above top-of-market rates, and this will continue for as long as their voices are used in our products." this could mean literally anything (what market rate are we going above? does continue mean they get residuals or get paid for doing more sessions?) but, christ, at least the actors are doing it with full knowledge of what their voices are being used for and can decide for themselves if the compensation is enough

b) the post talks about working with "award-winning casting directors" to get the voices. first of all, yay for paying casting directors! we love to see it. but they also say the CDs received over 400 submissions in a week and they state that like a big number and it's just...not at all. and look, without knowing the intricacies of the casting process, it's hard to know what approach the CDs took - it's very possible they were selective from the jump and 400 is a lot from the pool they were tapping. 400 would be a lot if you were going to the agencies directly and asking for names, but there's just no way in hell open ai went after big stars for this. so it would've been a pool of unknowns. in which case, 400 is laughably small. even if you're not using the big casting sites like actorsaccess, I've worked on projects with CDs and their own internal systems where we've gotten over 100 submissions for a single role. I've posted roles on casting sites and received literally thousands of submissions in just a few days

look, I have a very limited perspective on this - I am not a casting director (imo, one of the most important and undervalued jobs in hollywood) and I, in fact, hate the process of casting with a passion. but 400 just seemed like such a tiny pool to pull from and, idk, it heartens me! it's heartening to think that there's very little interest from actors and agents to be doing this kind of stuff. and absolutely no shade to the actors who did--I want actors to get their bag however they want as long as it's, like, safe sane and consensual, you know? but there's something encouraging about thinking that open ai hired some big casting agency to get their foot into the voice acting door and people didn't come running

just a soft reminder that aversion to touch during stress times and just literally whenever is entirely normal, valid, and you're still loveable <3

This is definitely not a conspiracy plan please say yes 🥰 have you heard feel my rhythm by red velvet though?

What am I saying yes to. I'M NOT SAYING YES UNTIL YOU TELL ME WHAT I'M SAYING YES TO, YOU LITTLE GREMLIN

I haven't actually. I'll go listen to it now, hang on. I've been listening to King Gnu all day--

Okay. I've heard it now. What about it?

If you're too embarrassed to talk about sex, you're not mature enough to be having sex. If you don't feel comfortable talking to a partner about what you like or how to manage the risk of disease/pregnancy, you should not have sex with that person. If you're too embarrassed to ask someone to use a condom/dental dam/glove, you guessed it. Don't have sex.

It's doesn't have to be like a job interview but holy crap if you can't string two words together about your boundaries, every predator, creep, or weirdo (derogatory) is going to treat you like open season. Value yourself and your experience because even if you have a thoughtful partner, sex kind of sucks when you don't tell them what you like.

Hi, could you translate the scene where Hesperia turns Chat Noir into Celestial Cat (is that his name?), did it also explain how a good Butterfly user can seemingly slow down time once they are in another person's head?

Hi, of course!

Celestial Cat is indeed his name (Chat Céleste in French), here you go! (Note that in this scene, Hesperia uses the informal "tu" to speak to Chat, whereas the latter uses the formal "vous"). The scene doesn't explain what's happening, but I like to think that it's a stylistic effect, where the target of the "good" butterfly is given the impression that they have time to decide whether they want to accept the power that's offered or not, it really is their decision, contrarily to Monarque's akumatisations which might feel a bit rushed and might add to the feeling of being backed up against a wall the future Akumatised person might feel...

Chat Noir: I'm going to send them back to where they're from before they can say "meow"! Ladybug: Chat Noir, watch out! Chat Noir: Hey, what are *you... Hesperia: Chat Céleste, I am Hesperia. Chat Noir: No, get out of my head! Hesperia: I'm not your enemy, I'm only trying to entrust you with the power to save us all. Chat Noir: How do I know *you're telling the truth? I don't know *you! Hesperia: All I want is the common good! I'm on your side, Chat Céleste. Do you accept the gift I want to entrust you with, for the common good? Chat Noir: I accept it.

what is even the point of reposting fanart without credit and consent

[mybuginette]

is Emoverse Master Fu more or less morally questionable that our Master Fu?

[fluxweeed]

hey. hope this message doesn't bother you. I love you. I love your work. you are one of my favorite fic authors, I am absolutely obsessed with everything you write. reread everything ten times over, drarry or not, fluffy or angsty - even when it absolutely shatters my heart (e.g. for lack of wanting, SUCH a great fic btw i'm so obsessed with it). the four doors? life changing. two to lie and one to listen? engraved into my brain for eternity. what's mine is yours? what a ride holy shit, im VERY normal about it. wrapped? my comfort read. and so it goes.

if I could aggressively smother you with kudos and love I WOULD!!!

awhile ago you said that there's no such thing as "big deals" in fandom and I 100% agree but at the same time you are a big deal TO ME!!! not in the sense of any kind of hierarchy but purely based on the fact that I think you are such a cool person and your writing is amazing and poignant and your presence in fandom makes it so much better. it's been a pleasure following you here on tumblr and just reading your tags and posts.

idk I just think you rule. that's it. thank you for hanging with us. MWAH 💛

ahhhh anon sorry for leaving this message sitting in my inbox for a couple of days but !! i have zero idea how to react to this!! you're so kind!! thank you!! please discard any and all inclinations u have that i am a cool person bc i can assure you i am NOT!!

[sysmedsaresexist]

Did you experience ramcoa

TW, I feel like I'm losing my mind, my "fee fees" are more than just hurt, join me, friendos, in this beautiful disaster that is my mind

Or just keep scrolling

YOU CAN MAKE THAT CHOICE

That depends on who you ask and what information they're spreading

Why the actual fuck you would ask someone this, completely out of the blue and randomly

And don't you fucking DARE come back with, "to see if you were allowed to talk about it"

That. Is. The. Point.

Everyone is allowed to talk about it, but people should be able to consent to seeing that information and participating in conversations

I have already said on my posts that I am not comfortable looking at those memories-- memories that I had already come to accept and heal from as not ramcoa, that is the entire point of the conversation

I was done and happy with that portion of my life, I don't need some uninformed, under-cheesed pizzas giving vague definitions that make me, and people like me, question every aspect of our lives and clinical history, often for no reason

At my age, now is not the time to put a horrifying twist on things I thought were already processed-- and had been happy and content with, both in the therapeutic care I received and in the progress I had made

Thank you for contributing to my slow breakdown while I try to get set up with a new therapist

Go sit in the corner and think about what you've done

Oh goodness I think I’m on my sleazy yandere thing again. Hybrid au sounds nice too

Hmm

Stray dog! Izuku who keeps breaking in after you were kind to him once and got him out the rain, washed and fed him before taking him to a hybrid shelter in the morning.

Seems he’s quite fixated on you and the little imaginary life he’s imagined for the two of you.

He’s sure you don’t mind him following you home or sneaking in so often! You where so nice to him after all!

Maybe you’ll let him stay, and you can be a happy little family! He’s human enough to be a good partner right? In fact he’s more than human enough! What’s a tail and ears, and his knot, but extra parts to a perfectly human body!

He’s sure you don’t mind! You’re so kind! You’d probably happily accept him in every way you can have him!

That’s what he tells himself. How he justifies stalking you and humping you’re personal items so he can convince himself he’s done nothing wrong.

And it’s suddenly all too real and nauseating the time you catch him in the act. Straddling your pillow with shamed expression, but hips shameless continuing.

He begs you to understand, he can’t help it! He’s rutting and it’s just instinct! He just, he can’t control himself!

He looks so pitiful like this, you know you shouldn’t, but you are rather curious about that thick bulb at the base of his rather meaty cock, what’s one pity fuck?

[slaygentford]

truly reading the nicki arc makes the show choices make soooo much sense are the people who thought e5 was out of character stupid like are you just stupid it's an honest question. I'm begging everyone to read the scene where he turns nicki bc the sadness to rage to sadism evolution in the course of like five minutes is quite literally spelled out and it is SO for real scary like idk what book you guys were reading

[bookishforce]

idk if i'm overly unreasonable but like... everything that happened for boston's character that might have been interesting or any conversations about his relationships is totally overshadowed for me by the fact that he sexually assaulted top more than once and engaged in coercive behaviours that did not allow for enthusiastic consent like?? he needs to answer and pay for that first.

ray too, actually. he never really felt sorry for assaulting Mew and the coercive language he used when Mew said no to sex... he's also totally insufferable as a character so that added to my not giving a single shit about his narrative as well but assault && attempted coercion my guy no

maybe my own trauma is informing my response to this but it feels like the very valid conversations that these characters are being used to have shouldn't be attached to those that choose to sexually assault and attempt to coerce or do coerce others to sleep with them, even if they are fictional.
