#so only limited access to the discord for a while when I open it

[forgettable-au]

Forgettable-au discord server almost done👀??

I made lots of emotes, more to be added hehe

[hibischush]

made with love

description; Reina's family teases her about her crush on Mistria's newest resident.

notes; This was a prompt by one of the lovely persons on FoM's discord! I'm on there under the username 'schramollie.' Go on over there and join the early access hype!! Also this may be a little OOC for everyone here now since there are so much more dialogue for everyone, so it may take me a while to get a grasp of the characters🌺💗

word count; 754

warnings; n/a

“Reinaaaa, why won’t you share any of those desserts with us?” Maple pouted, dramatically sliding down past the countertop and out of view, to try (and fail) to sway the young chef’s mind. Luc stood on standby, always there as an advisor to his sister’s ‘diplomatic discussions', which often included begging for sweets. 

Reina rolled her eyes, slowly working the tender fruit into her scone batter, cautious to avoid staining the entire dough a washed-out pink.

“I’ve already told you, Maple, this isn’t for you. Were you the one that grew these strawberries?”

Luc watched as Maple flopped on the ground with a groan, and readjusted his glasses, huffing.

"Reina, how come you never share the food you make with the farmer's crops? I kind of got it the first few times, but now it's just unfair."

Right before Reina opened her mouth to return a quick quip to her little brother's whining, her mother walked by in a rush to the soup pot.

"Dears, let Reina figure out her feelings for that cute farmer. You know what Reina puts in every treat she makes: " Josephine paused to let her two youngest complete her saying with her, which they eventually did: "lots of love!"

Maple jolted upright with the realization, while Luc just grinned devilishly.

Reina could feel warmth rush to her head.

“That’s why you make them so much food! You want to show them that you looooove them. You have a crush on the farmer!” Maple squealed, jumping up and down. 

“Ma!” 

Josephine ladeled some soup into a to-go cup and shushed her eldest as she left the inn. "Oh, hush, darling, don’t act like I don’t see the way you look at them.” She chuckled, slamming the doors behind her. 

The moment of silence after everyone digested what happened was deafening. Reina internally kicked herself. She couldn’t stop her feelings when it came to the farmer. Not only were they kind and hardworking, they were generous. Especially to Reina. 

Reina could have sworn that her heart exploded with excitement when they stopped by the inn to hand her freshly picked produce. She was so delighted, in fact, scanning over all the items in the wicker basket and brainstorming dishes to include them in, that she nearly missed the angelic way the farmer gently laughed at her, setting the crops on the table. 

“Reina, you really are cute when you get excited about food. I think I might just have to keep bringing you ingredients from now on.”

She still hasn’t been able to move on from that memory without her heart skipping a beat (and her cheeks flushing when thinking about the way their toned muscles flexed beautifully in the early morning sun). 

Reina groaned, fighting the urge to hide her face in front of her two siblings, and instead poured the dough onto the flour-dusted counter to cut the scones into their signature triangular shape. She was determined to finish this before dying of embarrassment. 

“Reina, we’ll help you,” Luc said innocently, sidling up to his sister.

She narrowed her eyes and muttered with annoyance, “You are not going to help me bake these scones.”

“No, not with that. We’ll help you make the farmer like you back!”

She didn’t know that she could blush any deeper than she did before, but the gods were testing her limits today. Maple squealed again and ran around to join them. 

“Yeah! We’ll help you! And I’m sure Dell will help us too.”

Reina almost threw the prepared sheet pan into the hot oven while pulling out the first batch. She needed to get out of this kitchen and away from her impish siblings. “Guys, that’s not how relationships work.”

"Sure, they do! That’s how the nobility manages marriages in the capital! We’ll do all the arranging for you!”

She set the pan of fragrant scones down on the counter, defeated. She knew she shouldn’t have read that book about Noble Society & Customs to her little sister before bedtime.

“This is something that I should do myself, not leave to you two,” she sighed.

“Leave what to who?” a familiar voice called out, lugging a large basket of goods into the building. To Reina’s horror, it was the farmer. They smiled sheepishly at her. Her heart fluttered. 

Slowly turning to Maple and Luc, she whispered:

“Four scones. And you two don’t say anything about this conversation to anyone and go to your rooms.”

Maple and Luc shared glances before grinning.

“Deal.” They whispered.

Now that the EA is here, y'all will be gettin' more canon fics for sure. Also go play the game. It is everything anyone has ever wanted and its just in its EA form!

[botanikos]

Good evening! 

While I hate to make such a large announcement and “kill the vibe” for the weekend, I really do need to set something straight. The world outside of roleplay is tumultuous and full of horrors, ailments, and struggles unique to each day. Writing is a hobby for many of us, I assume, and a reprieve from the chaos that hounds us. However, I cannot speak for anyone else; these are my words, and my feelings. 

I made this blog as a means to connect with others and write! Roleplay, to me, is what I have always enthusiastically described as collaborative storytelling. Not only that, but it is one of the easiest and most accessible and enjoyable means of relief for me. I get on my silly little blog to write and goof off. To step away from everything else around me. Sure, occasionally I let my own feelings for the day seep into my writing - but who doesn’t use their muse as a means to an end when things have been a little rough? In the end, I am here to have fun!

Like anyone else, however, I am unfortunately and fatally…human. I have feelings such as doubt, anger, frustration, anxiety, joy, compassion, etc.. There will be times where I may have the desire or need to let these feelings be known in an OOC post. It is my blog, and that is my right! That is every individual’s right; your blog should always be your safe space, and that is exactly what mine is: A safe space. That being said, I work hard to keep my blog safe not only for myself, but for my mutuals or anyone who might come across it. I tag anything and everything I should or can, when I remember to do so and as I see fit. What I will NOT engage in however, is drama, venting, or negative specific vague-posting. And I refuse to consistently let it be a constant presence any longer. 

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN? 

My blog will remain a safe space for anyone seeking comfort, reprieve, or looking for advice provided we are mutuals. You may always approach me with any questions or concerns, especially if it is in regards to my/our writing or content on my blog. I encourage any discussions to be held in privacy between us either through tumblr IM or Discord (available upon request or when I occasionally offer it on the dash). 

I will NOT unfollow anyone for the occasional vent post. OOC venting and feelings are FINE! I make those too! My blog will have a LOT of OOC postings throughout the week and even peppered between replies and activity. My DMs are ALWAYS open if you are having a particularly hard time, and need someone to talk to (albeit, I may be delayed). 

What I WILL UNFOLLOW FOR includes but is not limited to: harassment of any kind, bullying, constant negativity, constant trauma dumping, constant acknowledgement of anonymous hate-mail, constant complaints of lack of interaction (ONLY if I have knowledge that I have reached out multiple times or reason to assume others have done so too), negative or derogatory vague posting of other users. Also, please keep in mind that I have other responsibilities outside of tumblr. While I may not immediately receive your message, see it, or response to it, it does not mean it will go ignored! Though it is no one's business, I have my own chronic conditions and experience varying degrees of social burn-out. I love chatting but can become easily overwhelmed! Give me time!

IN REGARDS TO BLOCKING - I do not block anyone without reason. So far, I have only ever blocked spam or porn bots. However, if I grow uncomfortable or have reason to doubt the safety of my space, I will not hesitate to hard block. You will not be given a warning, because again, I do not do this often / at all thus far. And for me to take this sort of action, it simply means I am unwilling to communicate my discomfort and for what I believe to be, good reason. I do not immediately block people I unfollow because on most occasions, if I unfollow someone it is either A) an accident or B) just that I don't vibe or see us interacting anytime soon or in the future. This does not inherently mean this won't change! Maybe later on I have expanded my abilities or have newfound interest / new perspectives! Neat! But unfollowing does not warrant an immediate block from me. Blocking is a SOLID and DEFINITE sentence. I do not do it lightly.

Please understand that I still wish to be a positive presence and will continue to do my best to provide this! But even I have my limits, my own external struggles, and I am weary… So very, very tired. 

If you have any GENUINE questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to me! I value communication and compassion above all things, and will happily engage in a civilized conversation about anything you might find unclear. 

Thanks for reading!

It's been a little while since I've prompted my server! With Sea's Community Compendium not needing an update this week (unless...?), I thought it might be the perfect opportunity. ⭐

What is SEAFLOOR?

SEAFLOOR's purpose is two-pronged! The first focuses solely on my community projects including, but not limited to; Compendium support, question-drive updates, miscellaneous resources and other bits and bobs. We also have dedicated channels for user sourced/submitted content including:

Resources, prompts and commissions! Every time I see a commission post, gpose prompts or resources that I think will benefit the community at large (especially if it doesn't fit in the Compendium due to time constraints), I'll add it there.

An affirmations channel! Exactly what it says on the tin. You can link positive words and encouragement to people and they can look in the channel if they need a boost.

Fics, drabbles & asks! If you want to promote your writing/work, especially from my question drive, you can do that there.

There are also a few channels specific to the social role.

An events channel! I try to link any upcoming events I see on the dash, though event owners can promote their own specific venues if they want.

Character profiles for RP and writing!

GPosing, LFG and modding discussions. ✨

The second purpose is what's implied above — a social aspect! I struggle with a lot of one on one conversations, so this server lets me reach out to lots of people without the pressure of missing messages. You do not need to join the social aspect to have access to my projects. It is entirely optional and there for people who want to say hi or meet other people in the community. If you just want to be pinged when a question drive is open or I have updated the Compendium, you're more than welcome to utilise the server just for that.

However, because of my time constraints, I have a series of rules that must be adhered to in order for people to participate fully in SEAFLOOR. Though they're explored in more depth in the server, the main crux are below —

SEAFLOOR is adults-only, 21+. This is entirely because I don't have the time to moderate a server that is friendly towards minors and I generally don't allow them in my space. This is for my own comfort, sorry! You're still welcome to utilise my projects.

As this is a server for adults, I expect you to act like adults. This includes, but is not limited to; enacting your own media literacy in muting, blocking and disengaging with people/topics you don't like; doing your due diligence to protect yourself and others with proper content warnings, spoiler tagging and triggers; keeping to Discord's ToS and respecting people's boundaries and privacy. If I have to moderate, I will be harsh in implementation because I don't have the time for it. Like all my projects, if it becomes too much of a chore or detrimental for my mental health, I will delete it without hesitation. This might be a 'public' server, but it is still my server. I won't hesitate.

In sum: 'Be excellent to each other'. Treat others how you want to be treated, don't start discourse and sort your shit in private. Use your common sense and don't be creepy/weird.

If this sounds like something that might be up your alley, you can give the server a shot here! There's a lot of fun, supportive people and I really enjoy the little community that's been cultivated. I hope you will too!

A small note!

I'm going to be trying to move away from paypal, even after a 19 year love/hate affair with it. I opened a Stripe account, and I'll be opening memberships on Payhip.

Payhip will also let me sell my novel series more easily, so memberships will have writing and art!

Art:

early access to adopts/bases

limited adopts/bases

exclusive members only adopts/bases

sketches and shitposts

Writing:

early access to new content

worldbuilding

character profiles

behind the scenes

shitposts

drabbles

I'm also gonna take the plunge and make a members discord for Payhip/Patreon. (When I will open it remains to be seen, BABY STEPS.)

I need to buckle down and find a way to make some income while I jobhunt and wait for my ALJ hearing.... so if I can use it as an excuse to encourage me to work on editing this draft, all the better.

I'll make a formal post about it once my Stripe account is ready to accept subscription payments!

[devilscreekballad]

Setting up the patreon, currently looking for Tier Names. Was thinking about using the jobtitles you can pick from in Ballad, but as the patreon is also for CuCu and Beggar's Luck, I'd need something more neutral?

(Note: Discord access is not tied to patreon/kofi support. For the discord: follow the blog for a while and then hmu per message. We had some unfortunate experiences before, so we're careful)

(More important note: No, the game access outside the CLOSED Beta once the game reaches the final chapters will not be limited. It will NOT be perma-locked behind a paywall.

Also, tier benefits (so far) below cut:

Tier 1 (Experienced Outrider) : $1 For general support: Grants access to status updates and rambles, what you'd see on the blog here as well

Tier 2 (Silver-Tongued Priest) : $2 Longer, more in-depth BtS posts and longer character Bios early (will be posted 1-2 weeks later on blogs) + lower tier benefits

Tier 3 (Skilled Gunslinger) : $5 Grants early access to updates once they're out of alpha-testing + lower tier stuff

Tier 4 (Cunning Cardsharp) : $10 Access to the alpha-testing and closed beta once the story reaches the climax + lower tier stuff

Tier 5 (Infamous Outlaw/Con-Artist): $100 (limited) Access to lower tier benefits and archive, plus art, writing and sewing commissions (once I got the table to put my sewing machine on).

Notes on the game access:

Only the CLOSED beta will be limited. For Ballad the closed Beta starts when the posse reaches the inner ring of Devil's Creek (it's a big town, actually)

'early beta' gives you access to new updates of the open beta before it goes live for everyone.

February 2024 Patreon Announcements

February! The year is trying to be rocky already as Madame January has made us feel all 31 of her days, but hopefully things will pick up and smooth out! I got a couple big announcements this month, especially pertaining to commissions.

Firstly, it being February also means: It is Black History Month. Like the last few years, it has me feeling A Way™, so I'll be doing a little special thing for this month's poll! Canonically Black Characters, and characters whose presentation that can be interpreted as Black, will be receiving a +5 Black History Vote. As a black filipina woman (in case people have forgotten), i'm very sad that rarely do these characters get suggested, and even more rarely win. So for this month, these guys will be getting an extra boost in the poll! 

Commissions (still open) will have their price structuring changing this month! As explained in This Post, I will be increasing my prices. My plan is to have final prices decided and active by Feb 14th. People who want to get on the list, or alter their commissions before the increase are free to do so, and are allowed to have a maximum of 4 figures (without line style limitation). The form does not reflect this yet, as I will try to have that updated during this weekend. I've received helpful feedback about the methods, and i'm still open to more!

Now the usual announcements:

February 2024's Poll will be up shortly! and this month's Theme is Valentine's Day with the 1st place winner getting a 3 part sequence! The usual holiday juggernaut for this month, but also don't let it stop you from using in-universe romance holidays that would better fit the character! November 2023's Fill wills be going into the access to the past and higher tiers!

February 2022 and 2023's fills will be released and free to view! As per usual, I'll bulk upload them onto my drive and pixiv, and spread them out over the course of the week on tumblr and discord (only notification of the uploads to the drive will go up on twitter/X site). I'll also be putting up a February New Uploads Folder in my drive so people can keep up with what goes up this month, while deleting the December Uploads folder.

A new Reward Request Post will be going up, too! Patrons are free to leave one in there even if you already have one from last month's! December's requests will have expired though! So if those haven't been drawn, you will need to re-suggest them. January's will expire when March rolls around. See this document to see whats on the list, what expired, and what has been done!

As always, thanks for the support!

Things That (Should) be Happening in 2023

You can also read and boost this on itch.

I've gone back and forth over making a post (or chain thereof) like this for some time, but always flaked out on some lazy excuse of "I like dropping things with no warning for the surprise factor," and "Being scared of accountability."

And, yeah, project jumpscare is fun for a while but I'm starting to feel left out of the cycle of teasing little bits of what you're working on for people to comment on. Before that felt pointless because I had no comments point blank, but now I've got a few eyes on my stuff it feels like a decent time as any to start. One game even got fanart. Wild.

I'm currently on the forth of this cycle, so I'm riding it and making a full deal of it. If it ends up I hate doing this I'll just stop and never acknowledge it again. 

Here's things that (should) be happening this year.

I'm Exhibiting at WASD Curios

Yeah I still don't believe this either, and ENGLAND ON FIRE got accepted into the WASD Live "weird" indie selection.

I'm going to be at WASD in person at the Curios booth from March 31st to April 1st. If you're going, feel free to drop by and say hi. I'll be handing out some pins if you do.

The PC Problem

As some of you may or may not be aware, I'm currently without my main PC. Most of my stuff was left with my parents when I moved down on a short let, and I am living in what feels like a closet right now and only have access to a chromebook that stutters trying to open discord. Lack of Windows aside, next to no computing power puts intensive game dev out of the question. It can barely survive bitsy once projects start getting chunky.

Fortunately, I'm completely unimpeded doing pure writing, which does work out nicely for me. The games I make spend well over 90% of their time in google docs, and only leave it to get shoved into an engine at the last minute. And for the last 10%, I'm lucky enough to work a job where I can fuck about for an hour on a stupidly powerful PC. 

The good: for the games you guys are used to seeing from me, I can make these mostly unimpeded, if not a little slower than usual. Once I get used to the new workflow, it should be business as usual. The bad: this locks me out of doing any complex projects, of which I had several I wanted to take a crack at. This is annoying, for now, but I have enough in mind to keep me occupied—

Until the PC Comes Back

I've got a series of Quinn & Flynn sequels in the works, and this will fill the gap until I get my PC back. Currently, it's looking like a series of 5 games including the first (and even as I'm writing this now, I'm looking at my notes and a tentative 6th). I'm also not making any guarantees that all of them will be released by the time my PC is back, but I will make a guarantee that the run will be finished, at some point, and probably later compiled in omnibus form.

The series is also headed into adult-only territory. There's going to be on-screen sex and no real way to dodge it that doesn't impact the narrative. My apologies if you were under 18 and wanted more Quinn content but also congratulations to the sickos who want more stories with cum.

The 2nd game is going to follow Elias' POV. What happens, you'll have to wait until it comes out.

Pun not intended. I just noticed this while proofreading.

The PC Returns

So, the PC is back, and now I can work on those bigger projects I keep mentioning. Right now, I've got two I've been rotating in my mind and getting increasingly mad I can't pull together.

The first, in full spirit of what inspired it, would be a not-quite remake, and a not-quite sequel, of one of the most popular games I've made so far. I had a whole stack of cut content I wanted to put in that I couldn't because of the jam time limit, and now I want to redo it from the ground up in a bitsy-like engine that's far more flexible. We might even see the old Spdrcstl Special and have multiple engines glued together. You'll have to wait and see what that inspires.

The second is going to be a Proper Game. As in, something with a play time well over a couple hours. It's a Narrat game and leaning hugely into the disco-like mechanics. I'm planning to have enough content to sell it for about 10 quid or so, with the obvious caveat that I don't give a shit if you steal it if you can't afford it.

You'll be a paranormal investigator, tasked to a rural town in Cheshire where, to no rational explanation, buildings have been disappearing. The big twist, however, hinges on how you approach the case. A sceptic in this town may get a completely different story to the superstitious. It's on you to see where belief takes you.

This is going to be extremely heavy, British, and Northern. CWs abound for this one.

Since we're on a wider timescale and I'm still unsure when my beloved returns to me, I have no guarantees I can make here. At the very least, I'd like the first game to be fully released, and the second to have a demo that runs to the end of day one. Keep your eyes peeled.

Other Bits

This bit's a dumping ground. These are projects that have been floating around my head or I have some notes for down already. I decided to throw these here in case one or two make you go "Hey, that sounds cool, line it up next."

These, in no particular order, are:

A wiki-style game a-la Excalibur. I'm planning one in the same universe and as compliment to No Saints Go to Heaven. The main problem is I've gone Motherfucker Unlimited on the worldbuilding of this setting, and beyond that being a task in itself is filtering it all through an in-universe lens. Happening, but a while out. And speaking of—

No Saints Go to Heaven, in a full demo form. I still want to tack bullet hell quasi-rhythm game battles onto it and see if people like it. The problem being this requires a musician and probably a dedicated programmer who knows what they're doing, so this one may be out of the question for a while, as dearly as I love it.

Something with the 12 Cannettes engine. It captivated me the instant I played it and I've been desperate to make a game. I've got something in mind already, but might wait for a jam to fully flesh it out.

Something with Decker. Need to play with this to see where the limits are but I promised myself I would try it after having to pass on Decker Jam. Pending experimentation.

A web engine. It will let you make point and click adventures in the same style as the Club Penguin PSA missions. I am deadly serious about this. Pending more web dev knowledge.

A Len'en fan game. This is literally just that sentence in turns of planning, but I'll make one as soon as an idea comes around. I am very normal about Len'en.

Something using King Gizzard's Polygondwanaland. It's CC0. Album of all time. Have to. Pending what I'm actually going to do with it.

Other Other Bits

Also known as "Stan has a back-and-forth debate over starting a kofi and/or patreon or not."

On one hand, it feels a bit iffy when I have a fulltime job. That money could be going to devs who fully need it rather than me, you know? On the other hand, people are free to spend their money how they want, and extra pizza money sounds decent.

If I do the patreon route I haven't got any ideas for it beyond it being a glorified tip jar that auto-renews. Maybe down the line when I'm working on a Proper Game that has enough meat for update posts it could be a bonus dev log. But if I were to start it up, like, tomorrow, it would be a glorified tip jar.

aight

I think that's about it, for now. I need to put a disclaimer that any and everything mentioned in this post is subject to jam inspiration, scoping, Shiny New Tool syndrome, random hyperfixations, explosions (figurative), explosions (literal), "I didn't feel like it"-itus, and other bullshit under the helpful label of Life.

With that said, Elias & Flynn is definitely happening.

Have a good one.

RULES

01). The muse on this blog are being written by untapdtreasure (40+). There will be smut. Smut will not go under a read more. I don’t mind that others use read more on their own blogs, but the material will be pulled from under the read more when I reblog the thread to add my reply. This is due to blogs being deleted over time. I want full access to the entirety of the thread on my own blog. If this is an issue, please let me know.

This roleplay blog is independent of any group roleplay. This is a multi-ship/multi-verse blog. No threads are connected unless plotted to be at different times within the same verse. I request that you do not bring plots from your other threads with other partners into ours as I have no knowledge of those.

02). I’m a literate roleplayer that prefers para replies. I do not do one-liners or crack threads. I don’t require anyone to match my length, but you must give me something to work with that moves the thread in a forward manner. So if I give you three-plus paragraphs, I require that you give me at least one decent-sized paragraph (at least five sentences) in return.

03). As for dropped threads, I will always let you know when I must drop a thread. The only time I will drop a thread is if you’re not following rule number two, but even then, I will give a warning before dropping the thread entirely. I do, however, ask that you let me know if you wish to drop a thread.

04). There is no time limit on threads being responded to. If it takes you a while, please know that you can always reply when/if you have the time. I will likely have moved them to inactive status on my thread tracker if it has been six months or more since I replied with no response. This doesn’t mean that the thread is dropped. Reply to the thread anyway, and it will be moved back to active status on my thread tracker.

All of my replies will be written and saved in my drafts and posted after I have all of them complete before I post them. They will be posted at the same time. Most likely, it will be late at night.

05). I only roleplay through posts on the dashboard. This means that I do not roleplay through direct messages or on discord.

06). Plotting is a must. Not every detail, of course, but the basics are required. If I cannot see my muse in a certain situation, then I won’t place her in that situation.

07). If you follow me first, I request that you reach out to me to get something started. We don’t have to be mutuals for you to reach out to me. If I follow you after you followed me but you never reach out, then I will more than likely soft block after some time. It goes without saying that if I followed you first, then I will be the one to reach out to you for plotting and interactions.

08). If you have an OC (original character) that you wish to play opposite one of my muse, then you are responsible for coming up with the initial plot. I don’t do pre-established relationships as a first interaction as I know nothing about your muse. Olivia and I will be getting to know your muse as we go along in our thread(s). I also request that you have a semi-detailed biography for your muse so that I’m not going in entirely blindly and have some idea of your muse. You will also be responsible for the starter for our first interaction.

09). I don’t roleplay with OC (original character) children of Olivia Benson. It’s canon that Olivia has one adopted child, Noah. So there will no surprise children popping up.

10). This blog only follows the blogs of my mutuals as well as some (limited) resource blogs for my muse(s). This cuts down on how busy/active my dashboard is on any given day.

11). This blog doesn’t do crossovers into other fandoms. This doesn’t mean that I won’t play with your muse, it simply means that if you wish to play with my muse(s), you must have a Law & Order verse.

12). As far as shipping, I am open to most things. But I do ship chemistry first and foremost.

13). In character prompts from ask memes are open to mutuals only. Out of character (mun memes) are open to anyone. Headcanon asks are open to everyone. I have limited time to respond to ask memes and threads so I ask that you please check the post for if I’m still accepting an ask meme or not. It will be tagged with the following: .accepting [yes] if it is still being accepted. If you send something from a meme that has been tagged as the following: .accepting [no], then I will delete the ask that was sent in.

This blog doesn’t practice reblog karma, but if you reblog ask memes from me repeatedly and never send anything to me or my muses, then I would request that you reblog from the source. If I reblog a meme from you, I will have sent you something from the meme to you or your muse(s).

Ask memes will be done in drabble format as I don’t really have the time to turn every ask meme response/prompt into a thread. So please talk to me first before continuing it. If you continue it without asking, I will decide on a case by case basis if I will be continuing it.

I’ve gotten disheartened as of late as I send memes in to others, and I rarely get a return. So starting now, I will only send memes to those that take the time to send memes to me in return. It doesn’t have to be always, but if I have sent you something from the last several memes that you’ve posted, and you never see fit to send me anything, then I won’t be sending you anymore asks. It’s only fair that if you want ask memes sent to you that you send them to your partners when they post ask memes.

14). Anon hate will not be tolerated. It will not be mentioned or addressed in any way. It will simply be deleted. I will not give any kind of power to someone that refuses to approach me as anything other than the adults that we all are.

15). Out-of-character drama is not tolerated. If you have an issue with me, contact me privately so that we can discuss the matter as adults. I’m also not a fan of attention-seeking behavior and all posts of that manner will not be interacted with in any way, shape, or form.

16). Godmodding will not be tolerated. If you wish for a plot to go in a direction that it is not currently going, then let’s talk about it and see what we can come up with together. Do not force it.

17). If we both roleplay Olivia, do not assume that my muse is a carbon copy of the way you portray her. I can assure you that we have differences in the way we see their pasts/actions/etc. Please respect my portrayal of Olivia. I will be respecting your portrayal of canon muses and original muses alike.

18). Communication is paramount. Without it, things can go sideways and fast. Communication goes both ways. I do not tolerate ghosting. It’s rude and unnecessary. Respect goes both ways and is a must.

RULES

01). The muse on this blog are being written by untapdtreasure (40+). There will be smut. Smut will not go under a read more. I don’t mind that others use read more on their own blogs, but the material will be pulled from under the read more when I reblog the thread to add my reply. This is due to blogs being deleted over time. I want full access to the entirety of the thread on my own blog. If this is an issue, please let me know. 

This roleplay blog is independent of any group roleplay. This is a multi-ship/multi-verse blog. No threads are connected unless plotted to be at different times within the same verse. I request that you do not bring plots from your other threads with other partners into ours as I have no knowledge of those.

02). I’m a literate roleplayer that prefers para replies. I do not do one-liners or crack threads. I don’t require anyone to match my length, but you must give me something to work with that moves the thread in a forward manner. So if I give you three-plus paragraphs, I require that you give me at least one decent-sized paragraph (at least five sentences) in return. 

03). As for dropped threads, I will always let you know when I must drop a thread. The only time I will drop a thread is if you’re not following rule number two, but even then, I will give a warning before dropping the thread entirely. I do, however, ask that you let me know if you wish to drop a thread. 

04). There is no time limit on threads being responded to. If it takes you a while, please know that you can always reply when/if you have the time. I will likely have moved them to inactive status on my thread tracker if it has been six months or more since I replied with no response. This doesn’t mean that the thread is dropped. Reply to the thread anyway, and it will be moved back to active status on my thread tracker. 

All of my replies will be written and saved in my drafts and posted after I have all of them complete before I post them. They will be posted at the same time. Most likely, it will be late at night. 

05). I only roleplay through posts on the dashboard. This means that I do not roleplay through direct messages or on discord. 

06). Plotting is a must. Not every detail, of course, but the basics are required. If I cannot see my muse in a certain situation, then I won’t place him in that situation. 

07). If you follow me first, I request that you reach out to me to get something started. We don’t have to be mutuals for you to reach out to me. If I follow you after you followed me but you never reach out, then I will more than likely soft block after some time. It goes without saying that if I followed you first, then I will be the one to reach out to you for plotting and interactions.  

08). If you have an OC (original character) that you wish to play opposite one of my muse, then you are responsible for coming up with the initial plot. I don’t do pre-established relationships as a first interaction as I know nothing about your muse. Barba and I will be getting to know your muse as we go along in our thread(s).  I also request that you have a semi-detailed biography for your muse so that I’m not going in entirely blindly and have some idea of your muse. You will also be responsible for the starter for our first interaction. 

09). I don’t roleplay with OC (original character) children of Rafael Barba. It’s canon that Barba has no children. So there will no surprise children popping up. 

10). This blog only follows the blogs of my mutuals as well as some (limited) resource blogs for my muse(s). This cuts down on how busy/active my dashboard is on any given day. 

11). This blog doesn’t do crossovers into other fandoms. This doesn’t mean that I won’t play with your muse, it simply means that if you wish to play with my muse(s), you must have a Law & Order verse.

12). As far as shipping, I am open to most things. But I do ship chemistry first and foremost. 

13). In character prompts from ask memes are open to mutuals only. Out of character (mun memes) are open to anyone. Headcanon asks are open to everyone. I have limited time to respond to ask memes and threads so I ask that you please check the post for if I’m still accepting an ask meme or not. It will be tagged with the following: .accepting [yes] if it is still being accepted. If you send something from a meme that has been tagged as the following: .accepting [no], then I will delete the ask that was sent in. 

This blog doesn’t practice reblog karma, but if you reblog ask memes from me repeatedly and never send anything to me or my muses, then I would request that you reblog from the source. If I reblog a meme from you, I will have sent you something from the meme to you or your muse(s).

Ask memes will be done in drabble format as I don’t really have the time to turn every ask meme response/prompt into a thread. So please talk to me first before continuing it. If you continue it without asking, I will decide on a case by case basis if I will be continuing it. 

I’ve gotten disheartened as of late as I send memes in to others, and I rarely get a return. So starting now, I will only send memes to those that take the time to send memes to me in return. It doesn’t have to be always, but if I have sent you something from the last several memes that you’ve posted, and you never see fit to send me anything, then I won’t be sending you anymore asks. It’s only fair that if you want ask memes sent to you that you send them to your partners when they post ask memes. 

14). Anon hate will not be tolerated. It will not be mentioned or addressed in any way. It will simply be deleted. I will not give any kind of power to someone that refuses to approach me as anything other than the adults that we all are. 

15). Out-of-character drama is not tolerated. If you have an issue with me, contact me privately so that we can discuss the matter as adults. I’m also not a fan of attention-seeking behavior and all posts of that manner will not be interacted with in any way, shape, or form. 

16). Godmodding will not be tolerated. If you wish for a plot to go in a direction that it is not currently going, then let’s talk about it and see what we can come up with together. Do not force it. 

17). If we both roleplay Barba, do not assume that my muse is a carbon copy of the way you portray him. I can assure you that we have differences in the way we see their pasts/actions/etc. Please respect my portrayal of Barba. I will be respecting your portrayal of canon muses and original muses alike. 

18). Communication is paramount. Without it, things can go sideways and fast. Communication goes both ways. I do not tolerate ghosting. It’s rude and unnecessary. Respect goes both ways and is a must.

[project-m-a-m-i]

Project M.A.M.I Directory

The Project for Multiverse Anomaly-Mending Investigations- or Project M.A.M.I for short (or personally considered as My Alternate Universe Interpretations)- is an open-ended deck-building adventure game template inspired by the spirit of roleplaying in things like Dungeons and Dragons and the genres of card battler games and other similar card/roleplaying/action games found all over the internet. Some of the games I plan to draw inspiration from include- but are not limited to:

Clash of Clans (Clans, Royale, Quest, Mini, Project R.I.S.E)

Cookie Run (OvenBreak, Wars, Kingdom, Puzzle World, Witch’s Castle, Tower of Adventures)

Boom Beach (and Frontlines)

Rush Wars

Brawl Stars

Jetpack Joyride

Squad Busters

Inscryption

Exploding Kittens

Plants VS Zombies (1, 2, Heroes, and select mods)

Town of Salem (1, 2, and Traitors)

Wildfrost

Phantom Rose (Ruby/Sapphire)

World of Horror

KARDS (and countless other WWII/CW-era-based games)

Slay the Spire (including its Touhou derivative “Lost Branch of Legend”)

Touhou Lost Word (because it’s the only mobile Touhou game I have access to, which also doubles as an RPG with almost the entire cast as playable characters)

Monster Train

Reverse 1999

Angry Birds (just the whole series minus crossovers because those can get complicated)

The list goes on and on, but below the break includes some important questions, the rulebook, the catalog, and blog tags. This post will be the master post for everything- including secondary master posts- and will be updated regularly as more content is added, so reblogging is not recommended.

————————————————

Important Questions

Is it a closed project? No. This is an open template for helping other people produce a base for any sort of roguelike deck-building roleplaying experience through any platform such as tabletop, Tumblr, Discord, etc., especially if they want to mix multiple fandoms together just how I like to do it with my other projects. Ultimately, this project takes existing content and converts it into a common medium that can fit into the game project and its rules, allowing it to mix with components from other fandoms.

What about copyright? Credit for existing concepts that I gamify will be provided, and such content is ultimately a fandom derivative of the original creator’s work. You can use the content I gamify here without any restrictions, and you can provide your own feedback if you use it. I plan to make no money from this project, and I forbid anyone here from trying to monetize it for their own gain.

Can we suggest our own original content for this project? Of course! Just use the ask box or submission forms (when they’re open) and I’ll take a look at them, making necessary adjustments as needed. If it’s not an original character, provide the source values that you used for your idea. Keep in mind that your ideas will be posted for everyone to see and share. Submitted content containing blatant 18+ content (for lack of a better descriptor) will be thrown out at the inbox.

Is there an intended storyline we need to follow? While I intend to use the backdrop of merging universes and player characters entering this merge to answer their own personal questions and mysteries as driving forces, that is not a requirement if you have other plans for it. The world’s your oyster, write the story you want your players to follow!

Where did you get the name for Project M.A.M.I? It’s a combination of Project R.I.S.E (a WIP game from the same devs as Clash of Clans, where players team up to scale a mysterious tower) and the first name of Mami Tomoe. If you know, you know. If you don’t, here you go.

[runeyseason]

hello! i saw your ad while lurking around tumblr and just wanted to know more about your group and how it works! I’ve never written on a forum before, so I’m a little unsure of how it works

Hi! :D thank you for your interest in Runey Season!

i'd be happy to explain how forum RP works :] or at least how it works for us! Let me put this under a readmore since I'd like to make it a full walkthrough on how the forum works from start to finish with picture examples.

STEP 1: SETUP.

This involves signing up with us by reserving a character you're interested in through sending an ask to the blog here! (For existing members looking to multimuse, I also accept DMs on the forum & Discord messages from people in the Optional Server.)

Once a character is reserved, then you make an account on the forum.

That's through the "Register" button on the top bar!

This requires:

An email address

A password

A name (this will be your character's name!)

A birthday (preferably, your character's birthday so that it shows up on our event calendar!)

It also asks for a username! Plenty of members just use their character name, some (our Kyle, Arthur, Felicity, & Lynette) used their tumblr URLs, some people think something up (ex. princesspoint for Frey, clumsymaidenofmusic for Lily)... It doesn't matter what you put! The username is pretty much solely used for tagging purposes.

Once you're signed up, I'll get a notification that we have a new member pending approval! Once I see who it is, I'll approve you for posting right away; this is just in place to prevent botting, since I've seen forums with open member / posting freedom get overrun by bots. </3

STEP 2: SETUP AGAIN (ON THE FORUM THIS TIME)

Once your account is approved & you're allowed into your account, you'll have access to your profile! This is accessible from the button second to the right on the top bar.

The "Edit Profile" menu has several tab options, with the most important ones being "Avatar," "Personal," & "Privacy." (Some of the tabs shown below are likely unavailable to non-me members, as this is an admin account.)

The "Avatar" tab lets you change your profile picture! As you can see, Admin Wooly's is currently the piece I drew for the group's opening last year. For this, you can upload a picture directly to use!

The "Personal" tab includes options for changing your Display Name, Mini Icon (selectable from one of our many custom emojis), latest status, location, & signature, amongst a few others. The Signature includes a sidebar for inserting one of our many custom emojis, otherwise it uses BBCode, which we have a tutorial thread for!

The "Privacy" tab is for changing, well, privacy settings! Things like permanently setting your status to "Invisible" so that no one other than the admin account can see whenever you're online, hiding your email from everyone, etc.

Once you're done setting things up, we recommend making a post on the "OOC Chat" board to introduce yourself to everyone, but it's not required at all!

STEP 3: ACTUALLY GETTING INTO RPING

So you've set up your account, fixed up your profile, optionally introduced yourself, and you'd like to dive into things. Where do you begin?

First and foremost, forum RP is... I think I would best describe it as relatively similar to Tumblr RP, if you know anything about that. If not, it's no worries! We have plenty of members who were new to this kind of structuring. (Admin's only RP experience is Twitter and a small smidge of Discord, for example. And we have several members who've never RPed at all, let alone on a forum!) What I mean by this comparison is just that it tends to offer the same kind of customisation that Tumblr does regarding lengthy posting limits & formatting capabilities. Except we get signatures. Which is an excellent bonus.

Okay, diving in to how to navigate the forum...

When interacting with others, you're welcome to post your own threads in the Open RP board or reply to any other threads posted there using either the Create Thread button or the Quick Reply / Reply functions, depending on whether you'd like to join a thread or create a new one!

You can also post in the Plotting board if you'd like to run something by others before you post it, or if you want to reach out to plan out a closed thread with someone.

(For an example of this, here's that AMNESIA thread by Frey.)

As the pictures show with those little icons that say "New!" on them, each board will notify you if there's been any new postings in it since the last time you viewed it, in case you ever want to check anything out!

We also have the Recently Updated Threads sidebar on the home page. This applies to any threads, so it'll list ones that may not be generally accessible (ex. anything in the Questions & Suggestions board isn't available to anyone not logged in, as we have the Discord link available there, & occasionally my admin-only test threads will pop up), but it's a generally very handy resource for seeing what just got updated if you're looking for a response! Or a thread you might be interested in jumping into!

When you do want to post something, we have two options for doing so: the "Quick Reply" function for replying to existing threads, & the full Create-a-Post window, which can be used both for creating threads & for replying to existing ones.

The "Quick Reply" option is found at the bottom of an existing thread page; it types things out quickly using raw BBCode formatting view!

As shown here, there are a handful of different font face & size options, colour changes, bold, italics, underlines, strikethroughs, sub/superscript, alignment, grids, lists, link & image insertions... etc.

The :) face button is for our emojis, of which we have plenty! I update our custom emoji + sticker list often. The gradient-styled button next to it is for colour smear, which is our plugin for adding text gradients. This button does NOT work in Quick Reply, for some reason...? The little shushing icon at the end is the Spoiler button, for hiding text!

Clicking the "Reply" button on the right side of the Quick Reply bar takes you to the full Create Post window, which offers options for both raw BBCode & Preview windows.

(The Colour Smear button DOES work here.) This post window can be used to check how the BBCode formatting applied to your text will look, & is available both for replies and for creating new threads!

On that note, the "Create Thread" button that takes you to this post window is available at the far right of a board bar!

When making a new thread, we currently have two available formatting labels for the Open RP board: Forum-style & In Person. These can be added by clicking the gear on the top right of the Create Thread bar next to the "Add Attachment" button, going to Labels, & selecting one of the two!

(The scales under the "Subject" listing are actually a working button, btw! That's the title formatting button; you can change the styling & colour of your thread title using it.)

"Forum-style" is for any interactions conducted as if they're online interactions On A Forum, using the forum setting! I think the fun of these kinds of RP mediums is being able to take advantage of them and how they are in full, even if it doesn't make a lot of sense within canon, so it's an option. A good example of this would be Pia's Bathhouse Survey thread!

"In person" is for any interaction that would be conducted through face-to-face interaction. These are most commonly written out in paragraph style, but any writing formatting is accepted (para, action brackets, dialogue-based, asterisks....) & no one cares about matching length, so there are no pressures regarding writing super long or detailed replies.

We've also discussed the idea of adding a third option (Shortform), but I haven't implemented it yet because I'm still trying to explore my options for providing a shortform writing option for quicker in-person interactions first, especially for future event plans.

For the Closed RP board, as those are plotted out interactions and those tend to lean in-person, we at this time have no labels to apply there! Though thinking on it... a planned-out longterm forum-style interaction would be very funny and I would love to see it happen.

Basically: anything goes regarding writing style, & we have options for in-person interactions and interactions that make use of the forum setting!

I hope that explanation is an in-depth enough walkthrough of Runey Season & how forum RP operates for us! Please feel free to let me know if I've left anything uncovered that you're still curious about; I'd be happy to update this. And I hope it's not too long to keep up with! I like being able to provide picture examples, so they really padded things out;;;

RULES:

01). The muse on this blog are being written by untapdtreasure (40+). There will be smut. Smut will not go under a read more. I don’t mind that others use read more on their own blogs, but the material will be pulled from under the read more when I reblog the thread to add my reply. This is due to blogs being deleted over time. I want full access to the entirety of the thread on my own blog. If this is an issue, please let me know. 

This roleplay blog is independent of any group roleplay. This is a multi-ship/multi-verse blog. No threads are connected unless plotted to be at different times within the same verse. I request that you do not bring plots from your other threads with other partners into ours as I have no knowledge of those.

 

02). I’m a literate roleplayer that prefers para replies. I do not do one-liners or crack threads. I don’t require anyone to match my length, but you must give me something to work with that moves the thread in a forward manner. So if I give you three-plus paragraphs, I require that you give me at least one decent-sized paragraph (at least five sentences) in return. 

03). As for dropped threads, I will always let you know when I must drop a thread. The only time I will drop a thread is if you’re not following rule number two, but even then, I will give a warning before dropping the thread entirely. I do, however, ask that you let me know if you wish to drop a thread. 

04). There is no time limit on threads being responded to. If it takes you a while, please know that you can always reply when/if you have the time. I will likely have moved them to inactive status on my thread tracker if it has been six months or more since I replied with no response. This doesn’t mean that the thread is dropped. Reply to the thread anyway, and it will be moved back to active status on my thread tracker. 

All of my replies will be written and saved in my drafts and posted after I have all of them complete before I post them. They will be posted at the same time. Most likely, it will be late at night. 

05). I only roleplay through posts on the dashboard. This means that I do not roleplay through direct messages or on discord. 

06). Plotting is a must. Not every detail, of course, but the basics are required. If I cannot see my muse in a certain situation, then I won’t place her in that situation. 

07). If you follow me first, I request that you reach out to me to get something started. We don’t have to be mutuals for you to reach out to me. If I follow you after you followed me but you never reach out, then I will more than likely soft block after some time. It goes without saying that if I followed you first, then I will be the one to reach out to you for plotting and interactions.  

08). If you have an OC (original character) that you wish to play opposite one of my muse, then you are responsible for coming up with the initial plot. I don’t do pre-established relationships as a first interaction as I know nothing about your muse. Regina and I will be getting to know your muse as we go along in our thread(s).  I also request that you have a semi-detailed biography for your muse so that I’m not going in entirely blindly and have some idea of your muse. You will also be responsible for the starter for our first interaction. 

09). I don’t roleplay with OC (original character) children of Regina. It's canon that Regina cannot have biological children. So there will no surprise children popping up. 

10). This blog only follows the blogs of my mutuals as well as some (limited) resource blogs for my muse(s). This cuts down on how busy/active my dashboard is on any given day. 

11). This blog doesn’t do crossovers into other fandoms. This doesn’t mean that I won’t play with your muse, it simply means that if you wish to play with my muse(s), you must have a Once Upon a Time verse.

12). As far as shipping, I am open to most things. But I do ship chemistry first and foremost. 

13). In character prompts from ask memes are open to mutuals only. Out of character (mun memes) are open to anyone. Headcanon asks are open to everyone. I have limited time to respond to ask memes and threads so I ask that you please check the post for if I’m still accepting an ask meme or not. It will be tagged with the following: .accepting [yes] if it is still being accepted. If you send something from a meme that has been tagged as the following: .accepting [no], then I will delete the ask that was sent in. 

This blog doesn’t practice reblog karma, but if you reblog ask memes from me repeatedly and never send anything to me or my muses, then I would request that you reblog from the source. If I reblog a meme from you, I will have sent you something from the meme to you or your muse(s).

Ask memes will be done in drabble format as I don’t really have the time to turn every ask meme response/prompt into a thread. So please talk to me first before continuing it. If you continue it without asking, I will decide on a case by case basis if I will be continuing it. 

I’ve gotten disheartened as of late as I send memes in to others, and I rarely get a return. So starting now, I will only send memes to those that take the time to send memes to me in return. It doesn’t have to be always, but if I have sent you something from the last several memes that you’ve posted, and you never see fit to send me anything, then I won’t be sending you anymore asks. It’s only fair that if you want ask memes sent to you that you send them to your partners when they post ask memes. 

14). Anon hate will not be tolerated. It will not be mentioned or addressed in any way. It will simply be deleted. I will not give any kind of power to someone that refuses to approach me as anything other than the adults that we all are. 

15). Out-of-character drama is not tolerated. If you have an issue with me, contact me privately so that we can discuss the matter as adults. I’m also not a fan of attention-seeking behavior and all posts of that manner will not be interacted with in any way, shape, or form. 

16). Godmodding will not be tolerated. If you wish for a plot to go in a direction that it is not currently going, then let’s talk about it and see what we can come up with together. Do not force it. 

17). If we both roleplay Regina Mills, do not assume that my muse is a carbon copy of the way you portray her. I can assure you that we have differences in the way we see their pasts/actions/etc. Please respect my portrayal of Regina. I will be respecting your portrayal of canon muses and original muses alike. 

18). Communication is paramount. Without it, things can go sideways and fast. Communication goes both ways. I do not tolerate ghosting. It’s rude and unnecessary. Respect goes both ways and is a must.

Rules & About

Obviously I can't stop you from interacting if you aren't open enough about your views to get blocked, but know that bigotry of any kind is not welcome here. I can and will use the block button very liberally in that regard.

I only write with people who are 18 or older.

That being said, romance and smut are NEVER a requirement. I'm just as happy roleplaying familial, platonic or hostile relationships. For example, just because one of my characters might have a romantic dynamic with a canon character in one thread with one user, doesn't mean I aim for or even want that every single time. Please tell me about your expectations and boundaries!

I am primarily a mobile user, so I don't have access to tumblr's desktop functions, including cutting posts. For this reason, if you want to do a longer rp, I highly prefer using discord. Feel free to dm me for it!

If we had a thread going on/were plotting, and I stop responding randomly, you are 100% allowed to spam me. Chances are that my ADHD just got the better of me and I either forgot or thought I already replied. Sorry in advance!

English is not my native language, so if I sound a bit stilted or my grammar is off, that's why. If you ever need me to clarify something, let me know. I promise I won't be mad.

While I've been roleplaying for a few years (around seven, I think?) and have found rp partners on tumblr before, that was always done via rp finders. I've never actually had a dedicated rp blog before, so please bear with me while I figure this all out. lol

My limits with regards to story beats are child abuse, especially CSA, self-harm (especially cutting), religion-based queerphobia, and eating disorders. While I don't mind these themes coming up as, for example, parts of a character's backstory, I would prefer not to have them as a focal point within the roleplay.

With regards to kinks, my hard limits are piss, scat, anything else involving excrements or bodily fluids, feet, raceplay, diapers, and mutilation. For any other kinks that might be a bit "out there" for lack of a better word, feel free to straight up ask if I'm comfortable roleplaying them. I can promise that even if I'm not into them, I won't judge you. I'd be a hypocrite if I did.

"cw: X" is the format I use to tag any potentially triggering content. If you need me to tag anything specifically, or I forgot to tag a post, please let me know!!

I'm semi-lit to advanced lit and tend to match my partner's length. That being said, if you're the sort of person who prefers short replies, that's cool too, I don't mind at all. Don't feel pressured to write more than you are able to.

Most of my OCs are fandomless. The ones that aren't will be clearly marked as such. If you want to do a non-fandom roleplay with a fandom OC of mine, let me know and we'll work something out!

I'm generally very flexible when it comes to character lore, and I love AUs, so if you want me to change a few things about my characters to make our verses fit together better, I'm open to that.

Don't expect any fancy formatting. I'm screen blind and graphic design is the bane of my existence.

About Me

Hi, I'm Zenith, but you can also call me Stardust or Dusty. I'm 22 years old and my pronouns are they/them.

I like houseplants, the colors blue and green, and my girlfriend :) and I'm really not that exciting of a person. i also work weird hours and have chronic insomnia, so if i'm online at weird and inconsistent times, that's why.

I Was Wrong About AI

It's a morning like most others. I wake up and lay in bed for about half an hour, scrolling through my phone to check my emails, Discord, Telegram, FurAffinity, and Tumblr. I don't have the Tumblr app though, and FurAffinity doesn't have an app, so I open up Chrome. There, you get a feed of news tailored to you by Google based on your interests. That's when I see it; AI has invaded the creative space in a game I was interested in playing, The Finals. The creators received approval to use an AI announcer in their game. While AI might be usable to lend more authentic (procedurally generated) responses than scripted audio bites from a real actor, that's a job lost. It's just one, yes, but that's what I needed to finally start noticing what was really happening.

Since I clicked an article on AI, more AI controversy started rolling in (of course). This issue wasn't limited to one game; it was far more widespread than I thought, and I was about to be hit with a right hook from tech news hell. Soon, if you're a Windows user, you won't be able to avoid AI in your daily life. There will be a dedicated key on your keyboard for it, and eventually, dedicated hardware in new computers for it. Not only is this bloatware a lot of folks (like myself) aren't interested in, but it's not the kind that can just be turned off (or potentially removed by some Windows variant); it'll be an integral part of your computer, and even if you remove the AI entirely, you'll have still paid for the tech to be put into your device.

It's at this point that the stuff hit the fan for me, and I start digging deeper. The creators of ChatGPT being legally challenged for allowing free access to paid content. Bing forcing you to engage with Copilot when you scroll up too far. Google injecting AI into its YouTube app. Hollywood folks considering AI movie scripts as a serious solution to the writer's strike. Several major AI art controversies in recent months. Creators I used royalty free music from using AI in their music. It made me look back and realize that I was wrong.

I originally stood as a devil's advocate for AI. "If it accidentally scraped up content it wasn't supposed to, could it really be blamed when it was told not to?" "Is it really stealing art from people who don't want their art used?" "If I use it for personal projects and have no intention of calling the generated work mine, is it a big deal?" These are actual questions I raised, and in retrospect, I was just ignoring red flags. Now, two years after I started supporting AI, I'm against it.

Why Are You Posting This Here Instead Of Your Main?

Normally I'd keep controversy to my main, taytay-the-gaybertooth, but this is actually related to the TCG scene. It's actually been rocked by a few AI controversies over the past couple of years, and my MTG Fan projects have used AI in the past. These fan works will no longer use AI.

We can't do much as average citizens to push back against AI besides just not using it, and even then there's only so much we can do. We can't just stop using our phones, computers, and for some, even their internet and tvs to oppose companies using AI. Small companies can't afford to replace all their Windows machines with Macs, and even if they could, there's parity problems they'll inevitably encounter. Shareholders will keep pushing for AI because it's a buzzword, it's sensational, and technology will always be cheaper in the long run than humans. However, we can do something, and even if it's something tiny, a lot of tiny things can add up to be overwhelming. Even if the message falls on deaf ears and ignorant minds, we can still send a message.
