Reasons why I am against AI-generated content #7392639:
People no longer know the difference between good, self-made 3D digital art / fx and AI. Not everything is AI guys!! Artists have been doing cool 3D blends and animations for many years!! Yes, it looks incredibly fluid and real. No, they did not use stolen content. Believe or not, people do still very much study digital art.
Super disheartening seeing an artist's hardwork being dismissed as AI generated "art" (and same for bands/ creatives who comission them and get unwarranted hate). Why tf do you think AI looks like that? It's stolen content. They literally steal artists' styles to generate their own images. It's unethical and disgusting and I want absolutely nothing to do with it.
Also, side-note: using AI tools to help create your work is absolutely valid. We have been doing this for decades. What do you think "magnetic lasso" or "magic eraser" are? Do you think you computer just knows where the edges of stuff are? The difference is that before we didn't have the Big Bad label attached to it, nor all this disgusting nonsense. Artificial Intelligence is exactly that. Very useful when used correctly (as a tool), absolutely vile when mimicking stolen art.

the rwd season 4 qna inspired me to start thinking about college au headcanons except a lot of these are gonna be really specific to my school and y'all are just gonna have to deal with that <3
Kyana feeds some of the school cats. she would feed all of them if she could
Dani smuggled Plug (the scrawniest black cat you've ever seen) into her dorm room illegally and somehow management hasn't caught her yet (based on a true story) (Kyana visits to see Plug all the time)
Finbar keeps an updated tier list of every canteen in the school with breakdowns of the best stalls/dishes for each
A senior from the school of engineering once said to me 'all the engineering people dress like rats cuz our classrooms don't have aircon' (context: tropics) anyway that's Dani
Kyana would probably be involved in a lot of freshman orientation events from second year onwards. she just likes talking to the new kids and giving them advice like she would be the kind of orientation group leader who'd get messages from her freshies asking about all kinds of random nonsense because she's made sure they know they can always contact her with questions
VR-LA is The Guy you go to for textbook pirating resources
(this is more of a 'wouldn't that be funny' but VR-LA is just Veerle's discord handle)
Docent is the name of VR-LA's old laptop that broke down so he gave it to Cassimere (computer engineering major he met once at a networking event) to fix except Cassimere got everything off the hard drive and then somehow managed to fuck it up Even More so he had to get a new laptop (and named it Emi)
Roy has gotten food poisoning from his dorm meal plan at least once (based on at least one true story)
The heap trio + Mandy would be those friends constantly playing majong in the dorm lounge and if all the majong tables are taken they just play in one of their dorm rooms on a towel to dampen the tile shuffling noises (it was Mandy's idea)
Every morning Dani goes to the drinks stall at her faculty and orders one iced coffee to the point where the stall owner starts preparing an iced coffee whenever they see her approach (based on my true story)
Roy would be one of those people who goes clubbing every other week and every time he tries to drag the rest of the heap trio and Egan almost always goes and Dani would go if she didn't have a good excuse but always begrudgingly. anyway Roy would always be the only one having a good time until Egan gets drunk enough to start having fun
Finbar actually uses the dorm kitchens instead of just buying canteen food and it always makes the hallways smell really good
Vhas also uses the dorm kitchen sometimes but like. one time i walked into the pantry on my floor and someone had left cut sweet potatoes and 2 eggs in an inch of water in a pan on the stove. that's Vhas
Kyana's constantly applying for overseas exchanges and international summer/winter school programmes. the world is large and she wants to see it!
Maxim's the definition of a hall phantom. you know he lives on your dorm floor because you pass him by in the hallways sometimes and literally nowhere else. sometimes you're not convinced that he actually exists
VR-LA and Maxim's friendship stems from them being from wildly different faculties (VR-LA's in STEM, Maxim's doing anthropology so arts/social sciences) but also having lots of weird interests they cant really bug anyone in their home faculties about
Elyse is in student government and every once in a while Finbar receives a series of angry texts about the newest idiocy she's had to put up with
MR-SN and AS-TR start a stargazing club together. other notable members include AS-TR's girlfriend E-DN, MR-SN's friend C-RA (the one who always volunteers to carry the heavy ass telescopes) and MR-SN's friend K-LB who he pestered into coming to fix one of the wonky scopes even though K-LB's actually in electrical engineering but he's the only engineering person MR-SN (an arts student) knows
oh and of course VR-LA joins because he genuinely just likes space (developing a crush on his club chairperson was not on his bingo card)
Kyana and E-DN were MMA sparring buddies at one point which is how she found out about the stargazing and joined immediately
honestly i can probably think of more but this post is fuckin long LMAO

Albert Wesker as a caregiver
♡ . . . . ♡ . . . . ♡
he thinks youre the only good thing that ever happened to him and will protect and cherish you a way that is unmatched
would really like you to live with him but if you cant or dont yet want to he is the most patient man alive
will answer your texts usually the moment you send them
and will listen to your voicemails and watch the pictures and videos you send him like a live feed/ podcast, no matter when or where
he has kids activity books in his car for you and you can watch movies there or listen and sing along so songs together while travelling
he definitely has a chaffeur but if youd like for only the two of you to be there, he can surely handle the driving
will buy you any toys you had but growing up lost somewhere or gave away if you would like
reminds you that while his favors of this nature are basically without limit you shouldnt compete with other kids on the size or worth of your toys because what really matters and will bring closure is how much you love them and take care of them
the comfiest, finest clothes for his baby only > he will love if you dress all colourful or if you choose monochrome clothes as well, as in one it just shows how you complete him and have all that purity he admires and will protect no matter what or you dress like him and he always appreciates a less-evil, mini him who is full of curiousity and wants to know everything about the world
would love to watch science shows made for kids and try out the experiments
if you are up to it he can show you one with similar mechanisms in bigger (only if you feel brave enough and you can hold his hand, as these ones can be scary)
also animal documentaries (that he totally checks beforehand to be totally safe for you), and later you can recreate the scenes either playing with plushies or with play-pretend as the animals yourselves
any cartoon or series you like he will watch
will have you cuddled up and probably you fall asleep on him very often. then he gently carries you to your bed
im sure he has t-shirts and hoodies from all the places he worked for. you can wear them of course as he really has no desire parading in something meant to show loyalty to the names on them. you can ask all about the different jobs he had and he will gladly tell you some funny stories from there
he definitely has a pool and a separate jacuzzi you can play in
probably made a bedroom and a playroom just for you in his home
downloaded games on his phone just for you, but you have your own as well
will read you any bedtime stories you want. the book was never published in english? no problem he will have it translated and printed so it will resemble to the one you had in days
will learn your native language if it isnt english and try his best to pronounce any terms of endearment you like to be called
goes easy on house rules occasionally, which is really a happy moment for you, and you can sleep on the couch and watch tv a little longer into the night
wont have rules on what you eat as he knows well relationship with food is different for everyone, but will offer you to make it into cute shapes and serve it to you on a kids plate or tray with patterns of your favourite cartoon on them
you can be as energetic around him as possible, him being infected with ouroboros protects him from everything
you are of course always safe from everything he works with, his lab at home too is secured, you cant accidentally wander in there
he understands if you dont like the outdoors or have special triggers and is very attentive of those
he decorates the fridge with your drawings and colored pages but he prefers them to be framed and put elsewhere as the kitchen can be a messy place
you can help him cook if you'd like. lets you eat a little of the raw cookie dough because he works with only the safest and best ingredients
which means he can get you anything you may miss in the country he is currently living in
helps you study if its what you do in little space
will help with little activities as well. carry boxes or toys for you that you find heavy or too far to move yourself, especially if youre very focused
will never question your choice of colours on a drawing or the way things you crafted are. if youd like to, you can tell him all about the idea behind them and he will listen intently and will tell you if its something he saw in fine art as well - he is always amazed when his little imitates something like that
will play with you if the game you like has co-op or multiplayer mode if you invite him
cheers on you and lets you progress in your own pace. (he probably played it before, if not read the guide so he can help immediately if you are lost and of course not to make the game accidentally progress)
