Anodites in the fandom's perspective
So, it's been about over ten years since Ben 10: Alien Force aired, especially the season one episode, "What Are Little Girls Made of?", where it introduced the anodite concept for better or for worse. Anodites are free-spirited energy beings that possess a wide arrange of powerful abilities, including mana manipulation, flight, teleportation, astral projection, aura sensing, healing, and slight reality warping. Throughout UAF, they are perceived as bare humanoid figures with a purple color and light pink, aural hair, and so far, there were only female anodites shown, more specifically Verdona, Gwen Tennyson, and Sunny.
From what I can understand, many fans don't like this concept because not only does it take away everything about how Gwen learned to develop magical abilities on her own, but it also takes away the magic aspect of the series. Another thing that I understand is that UAF was heavily sci-fi and heavily alien-involved, which means that any concept that isn't entirely alien-based was either ignored or retconned into a new alien-based concept. Take, for example, the Dragon seen in the episode "Be-Knighted", where he was revealed to be an alien map maker and navigator, and that he was captured and imprisoned by the Forever Knights over 1,000 years ago. Basically, during the course of UAF, everything had to revolve around aliens, but I suppose that it had to, considering that the two series has the word "alien" in it.
Personally, I would revisit anodites as ancient, highly evolved, magical energy beings of human origin and/or various other species, and their homeworld, Anodyne, would be a terrestrial planet in the Legerdomain instead of a regular terrestrial planet. A long time ago, I found this deviation of a revised concept of an ancient anodite society, as well as another deviation of a malevolent anodite rebellion, with Verdona in the center.
And speaking of whom, I feel like revisiting Verdona into two different characters based on her traits; more on that in another post. I ought to do the same for Sunny as well. I feel like she deserves more potential. I would also like to involve the anodite concept with Charmcaster. Maybe she would seek out the anodites and coerce them to either make her powerful or she'll harness all of their energy to power herself instead; she'll most likely do the latter. And although people would like to see Gwen ultimately transform into an anodite and go wild, I feel like not making Gwen into an anodite, largely for the sake of her growing into a powerful sorceress on her own. But if she were to go anodite, maybe she would have been artificially transformed into an anodite.
Let me know what you guys think, and don't forget to reblog for sample size.

Demystifying sparks?
I had the idea that it would be interesting if plasma-based life forms (what sci-fi shows mistakenly call beings of "pure energy") encountered transformers and were confused the reverence they considered sparks, when by the plasma-beings standards sparks are equivalent of protobionts
A protocell (or protobiont) is a self-organized, endogenously ordered, spherical collection of lipids proposed as a rudimentary precursor to cells during the origin of life.[1][2]
To them the mechanical "solid" aspects would be seen as what makes these strange beings entering their gas giant people and "life"

RANDOM ART OF MY OCS GO!!!!!!
Introducingggggggg Démon & P.R.E.D!!!!!
Two new dudes with an Incredibly convoluted relationship + backstoriessssssss!!!!
Comes FREE with tiny scraps of information on them down below!!!!!!
Démon (she/they) the obnoxiously neon green and white one. P.R.E.D (he/him) the navy blue robotic one.
==============================================
First off is Démons deal, Basically a being of pure energy, energy so powerful it causes those who have the slightest lust for power into a out of control frenzied state hellbent on completely consuming Démon.
Démon, of course, Doesn't want that, so they are forced to life a nomadic lifestyle, always on the run from Hungry beasts, mad scientists, Gods Démon personally pissed off and more.
Démon has a rather strange kind of invulnerability,
long story short it Basically goes like this: Heals and gets stronger when hit with anything that had the intent of Hate behind it, while any form of Love will hurt/kill Démon, turning them very much into an annoying asshole to anybody they meet to stay "invincible"
==============================================
Now on to P.R.E.D, Démons one true fear.
He is a perfect biomechanical weapon of pure destruction technically stronger than Démon but just not quite fast enough to catch them.
Despite how he looks and what he is, he is a complete sweetheart courtesy of the people that built him frantically installing a pushover personality last minute out of fear of such power.
And of course he somehow got "Frenzied" leaving him with fuzzy memories of chasing a blurry green thing and leaving mass destruction in his wake and a crippling fear of hurting his loved ones, Fun.
===============================================
The details of how their relationship works will probably be in a another drawing of them, probably.

Elastic Illusions!
by Daniel Wolfert.
Every once in a while I have a day where I arise from slumber and yet the whole experience of being awake feels more like an illusion than a hard-core reality- it feels like I’m still dreaming or watching a movie. This is especially true when something I’ve actively sought to manifest arrives in my reality. It takes me a little time to adjust to it being a material object and…

can you explain the ai thing to me as though I were a small child I am in fact very stupid and don't understand what the point being made was supposed to be
the point i am trying to make it that ai is fundamentally a labor issue (and just more broadly a capitalism issue) and should be treated as such, any attempts at trying to classify what makes something "not real art" is a slippery slope leading towards fascism and fundamentally irrelevant in the fight against unethical (uses of) AI. the same goes for any attempts at just making copyright laws more strict, this has never helped any independent artists and never will, at best it'll make any sort of derivative art (including fanart, remixes, collages, etc) basically impossible to do unless you're a massive corporation with an unlimited legal budget.
