Hiya!

So we all know that AI generators like Midjourney, Stable Diffusion, DALL.E, Sora.AI, etc. have stolen the work from artists online to train their AI and since AI is starting to get quite scary, I've decided I'm going to start protecting my work via Nightshade, but I want to also talk about it with you and link to the official sites to Glaze and Nightshade, so you can get either of these programs to try.

First off, we'll start with Glaze AI.

What Glaze aims to do is to act on the defensive against AI. Glaze will scramble their generators by placing a “protective glaze” over your work, and what this will do, is when your work is fed into the AI, it'll trick the AI into thinking your work is something entirely different from what it is, simply by making small changes that only the AI will pick up on

To quote the official site “Glaze is a system designed to protect human artists by disrupting style mimicry. At a high level, Glaze works by understanding the AI models that are training on human art, and using machine learning algorithms, computing a set of minimal changes to artworks, such that it appears unchanged to human eyes, but appears to AI models like a dramatically different art style.”

I've tried using Glaze, but it's a very big program and my computer can't handle that, but I do highly recommend trying it out if you have the space for it.

If you wanna try it out, the link to the site can be found here.

Second is Nightshade.

Nightshade is aimed to “attack” the AI your work is being fed into. Like Glaze, Nightshade puts a protective “glaze” over your work, but it poisons your work and tricks the AI into messing up the user's prompt.

To quote the official site “Nightshade works similarly as Glaze, but instead of a defense against style mimicry, it is designed as an offense tool to distort feature representations inside generative AI image models. Like Glaze, Nightshade is computed as a multi-objective optimization that minimizes visible changes to the original image. While human eyes see a shaded image that is largely unchanged from the original, the AI model sees a dramatically different composition in the image.”

This program is also pretty big, but it's what my laptop is able to handle, so from here on out I'll be protecting my work with this. I'll also go back and protect my older works even if it's not as appealing as my newer works.

If you wanna try it out, the link to the site can be found here.

Keep in mind, these are only temporary solutions while we wait for more permanent ones.

But even if it's temporary, it's better than having no protection against the AI bros.

mmm divorcespark. i post whatever the fuck i want

"Gresca i destrucció, riurem i ens penedirem, el cremarem el dimarts i patirem fins el diumenge."

"Party and destruction, we will laugh and repent, we will set him on fire on Tuesday and we will suffer until next Sunday."

I almost forgot the whole Carnestoltes and Vella Quaresma celebration when it literally goes hand in hand with OAUW themes.

Some context under the threat:

- The Carnestoltes i la Vella Quaresma represent the two extremes of the balance, the excess, "El rei Carnestoltes", and the abstinence, "la Vella Quaresma".

As the story sings: the King Carnestoltes brings party and joy for days, but after a whole week of partying, no sleeping and "sinning", the people find themselves exhausted, with their homes destroyed and no food for the winter.

So Carnestoltes is sentenced to death by the stake on Tuesday and on Wednesday "El dimecres de cendra" (Ash Wednesday) starts the 40 days of penitence (no meat, no eggs...) marked by the seven legs of the Vella Quaresma who loses one every week, ending in Pasqua (the return of Spring).

-The style is inspired by the nostalgia and softness of Pere Torné Esquius illustrations.

"Venedora de globus" cap els 1907 de Pere Torné i Esquius.

-Also, also, the demons represent the Correfocs, pyrotechnics spectacles made by adults and children dressed as demons throwing fire and spurns around.

Which is the coolest thing ever. Also there's dragons dances.

This is a threat for you to forget Sant Valentine and go watch Correfocs-

Redraw of one of my favourite moments in Succession because Roman's my favourite and I wanted to practise drawing him but then I got too involved and turned it into a whole comic and I don't even really like how it turned out but I spent too long on it to not post it 😭

I wish I could do something more creative than just redrawing scenes from the show but I find the characters so difficult to write 😭 like I'm genuinely jealous of people who can write good fanfiction of them

Stranger and Omori in OMOFALLS AU v.s. MLB AU

OMOFALLS :

MLB :

Yeah, one is definitely more affectionate than the other lol (since Stranger in the MLB au is Chat Noir, which means Basil, which means he's way older than omori who's NOT the same person as Sunny. They are two different people.)

However in omofalls, Stranger is separated from Basil, and is the same age as Omori. And way more close.

See mlb!omori as more of like

A stray cat people lurking around, not really in the good guys or the bad guys's side

Just seeing the words “x male reader” pisses me off.. like WTF NO??? WHY IS IT A THING??? WHY DO MEN EXIST?? GET AWAY FROM MY GIRLS!!! AND ESPECIALLY WITH GIRLS WHO ARE OBVIOUSLY NOT INTERESTED IN MEN OR HATE MEN IN GENERAL!!

“Zoe Nightshade/Artemis/Nobara/Shoko x male reader-“ I AM IN YOUR WALLS AND I HAVE A KNIFE!!!

Not to mention you can just TELL that the author is a male by their writing.

Nico is a Baby, Bianca is Alive (ft. Thalia)

Stargazing:

Nico: How about that one?

Thalia: Well, that one is the Cassiopeia. See how it's shaped like the letter W?

Nico: Oooh, look! That's the Big Dipper and the Small Dipper.

Bianca: Yeah. They are. Good eyes, Nico

Nico: What's that one?

Bianca:

Thalia: ... *looks at Bianca*

Bianca: That...is Zoë.

Nico: Like Bia and Thalia's friend!

Thalia: Yeah.

Nico: How come I never see Zoë anymore?

Bianca: She's uh...

Thalia: She went somewhere where she's really happy.

Nico: Really?

Thalia: Yeah.

Nico: Will I ever get to see her again?

Thalia: *looks at Bianca*

Bianca: No, Nico. She can't visit anymore.

Nico: Aww. I never got to say thank you

Thalia: Why did you want to say thank you?

Nico: Cuz she lets me see Bianca and Thalia even if they're Hunters of Artemis already. She takes care of you and protects you.

Thalia:

Bianca: Sorry, Nico. She can't come visit anymore.

Nico: Don't you miss her?

Bianca: Of course we do. Everyday.

Nico: So, why can't we just go to her instead?

Bianca:

Thalia: It doesn't work like that, Nico.

Nico: Well...why not?

Thalia: It's just not. She's... She's happy where she is.

Nico: Oh...

Bianca: *deep breath* Alright. Time for bed.

Nico: Awww :(

Bianca: C'mon. We can go again tomorrow night.

Bianca, sitting on the roof of the Hades Cabin:

Thalia, finding her: Hey.

Bianca: Hi

Thalia: Thought I might find you here. *sits next to her* What'cha doing?

Bianca: *looks up at the stars* Just talking.

Thalia: *pulls her close to a hug* I miss her, too.

Hi, if anyone likes OC X Canon, I have fanfic for Earthspark (but note it's a bit outdated and needs more chapters!!)

It's set before S2, written before S2 aired, and is a "what if my OC was in Earthspark" story.
