UHHH THIS TOOK WAY TOO LONG TO MAKE!!!

Yes, it's an animation meme, and yes, I still can't make a game-accurate background :,(

I posted this on almost every social I have at this point. I think you guys can tell which parts of the meme were made more recently. Also yes they are fan designs!!!

just thinking about how if lewis told charlotte he was terribly afraid of the water & she decided to physically pick him up and carry him out over the sea while he begged her to stop & go back, there would be antagonistic music playing in the background, the girls would have immediately told lewis to break up with her or even intervened, the fandom would be making (more) hate posts, etc. to this day i cannot believe ash got away with that in the show

I had a headache last night so I worked on bright colours 💀 the crocodile Devious art was actually straining my head weirdly. So I worked on some story ideas for Lors and Alexi from my comic. 👀 I’ve already got a min story in my head on how they met but noooo I need to not work on that I need to work on the main story of my comic not the side characters 💀😭

christian legalism is so funny actually. i thought your religion's whole deal was the idea that you're better/more developed than the jews for not having strict laws. wdym you have your own strict laws

tumblr-specific (or online-specific in general tbh) queer 'movements' confuse the fuck out of me

why does the internet want it to be harder for you to cultivate your feed

Yknow, a year ago a meme would get big on this site, then after it had run its course taking over our collective minds to then be quietly left to rest and become a past memory, it would finally find its way onto other sites like tiktok and twitter. Someone on those sites would either blatantly copy the aforementioned meme, or reference it whilst still acknowledging it came from here. But- more often than not, it would be accompanied with the idea that the meme was from long-ago times, penned by long-forgotten users, only for someone in the comments to say something like "this meme was from last week and I'm mutuals with op". What I'm getting at is that tumblr was not only perceived dead, or at least in silent stasis, but also somewhat detached from the general social cultural conscious. And now? Tumblr is back in the social conscious in like, a big way. It took less than a single day for the goncharov meme to break out onto tiktok- they are completely in on it over there, fantastic cosplays and all. Basically, there is no more "breaching containment" as tumblr is no longer even remotely contained

HOW JUST HOW ARE THE THREE MOST HATED THINGS TO ME STRAIGHT AFTER EACH OTHER LOLL ( under the cut )

I spent the evening looking into this AI shit and made a wee informative post of the information I found and thought all artists would be interested and maybe help yall?

edit: forgot to mention Glaze and Nightshade to alter/disrupt AI from taking your work into their machines. You can use these and post and it will apparently mess up the AI and it wont take your content into it's machine!

edit: ArtStation is not AI free! So make sure to read that when signing up if you do! (this post is also on twt)

[Image descriptions: A series of infographics titled: “Opt Out AI: [Social Media] and what I found.” The title image shows a drawing of a person holding up a stack of papers where the first says, ‘Terms of Service’ and the rest have logos for various social media sites and are falling onto the floor. Long transcriptions follow.

Instagram/Meta (I have to assume Facebook).

Hard for all users to locate the “opt out” options. The option has been known to move locations.

You have to click the opt out link to submit a request to opt out of the AI scraping. *You have to submit screenshots of your work/face/content you posted to the app, is curretnly being used in AI. If you do not have this, they will deny you.

Users are saying after being rejected, are being “meta blocked”

People’s requests are being accepted but they still have doubts that their content won’t be taken anyways.

Twitter/X

As of August 2023, Twitter’s ToS update:

“Twitter has the right to use any content that users post on its platform to train its AI models, and that users grant Twitter a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to do so.”

There isn’t much to say. They’re doing the same thing Instagram is doing (to my understanding) and we can’t even opt out.

Tumblr

They also take your data and content and sell it to AI models.

But you’re in luck!

It is very simply to opt out (Wow. Thank Gods)

Opt out on Desktop: click on your blog > blog settings > scroll til you see visibility options and it’ll be the last option to toggle

Out out of Mobile: click your blog > scroll then click visibility > toggle opt out option

TikTok

I took time skim their ToS and under “How We Use Your Information” and towards the end of the long list: “To train and improve our technology, such as our machine learning models and algorithms.”

Regarding data collected; they will only not sell your data when “where restricted by applicable law”. That is not many countries. You can refuse/disable some cookies by going into settings > ads > turn off targeted ads.

I couldn’t find much in AI besides “our machine learning models” which I think is the same thing.

What to do?

In this age of the internet, it’s scary! But you have options and can pick which are best for you!

Accepting these platforms collection of not only your artwork, but your face! And not only your faces but the faces of those in your photos. Your friends and family. Some of those family members are children! Some of those faces are minors! I shudder to think what darker purposes those faces could be used for.

Opt out where you can! Be mindful and know the content you are posting is at risk of being loaded to AI if unable to opt out.

Fully delete (not archive) your content/accounts with these platforms. I know it takes up to 90 days for instagram to “delete” your information. And even keep it for “legal” purposes like legal prevention.

Use lesser known social media platforms! Some examples are; Signal, Mastodon, Diaspora, et. As well as art platforms: Artfol, Cara, ArtStation, etc.

The last drawing shows the same person as the title saying, ‘I am, by no means, a ToS autistic! So feel free to share any relatable information to these topics via reply or qrt!

I just wanted to share the information I found while searching for my own answers cause I’m sure people have the same questions as me.’ \End description] (thank you @a-captions-blog!)

man the way i see ppl talk abt ‘girl dinner’ on here really feels surreal. I thought the joke was like “heehee here’s my girlypop queen slay dinner!” and it was the culinary equivalent of an empty wallet with 2 coins and a moth flying out. but apparently it’s Nefarious

[no-one-hears-me]

is there a scarier tumblr experience than watching one of your posts start to get notes
