i really dont miss qsmpblr during purgatory. i dont. but theres something to be said for that unique high of posting an okay-ish shitpost after avoiding posting about discourse all day while three of your mutuals get in a vagueposting war and two people unfollow you for some character interpretation. and also at the same time gaining followers for continuing the yuriposting grind through it all. like that was such an energizing feeling. i would not go back but i do hold a special place in my heart for it in a trainwreck way. but theres a reason why qtinya is privated now. some things can be left to rest...🙏

tbh i fully agree with the 40 yr old parka blokes who are saying booo we should ban under 25s from the oasis reunion gigs no zoomers no gen z and their cell phones this is for the og fans only 😤 . because at least this would mean there'd be no incest bloggers there.

More WIPs from a project that was supposed to be a quick joke and is now A Whole Thing!

Here is a preliminary Hikari, and Samo's big brother! He has also escaped his genre, and he is not aware that most of the things he says sound incredibly threatening! Although only Hikari seems to notice anyway. (Luckily for Hikari, he really is a nice guy!)

@adamofingolstadt - a Hikari for you! 😊

did I SERIOUSLY get called an “absolute walnut” from a tumblr checkmark blog. AIEJGKWJGKDNGM. if I saw sainamoonshine irl I would maul their ableist condescending ass within an inch of their life. not worth it to fight with them bc they clearly don’t care about anyone else’s perspective but jesus fucking CHRIST what a piss poor refutation of me calling them ableist. And in three paragraphs no less!

funny how i was the last comment after replies were turned off.

i was gonna leave it as this, but since you are clearly trying to hide something, ill go ahead and elaborate.

on the anatomy: the legs are too short and there is no clear neck. the coat texture is also strange and undefined, it looks weirdly artifacted. real lambs have longer legs, smaller eyes, smaller ears, and don't "smile" like that, especially at 17 minutes old

and the architecture is so weird too, what is all of this? a barn?? it looks so nondescript

and some examples of other ai images from the blog for proof:

again, weird anatomy a plenty. the cub's ears are far too pointed, they should be much rounder. the positioning of the lioness' eyes are not aligned with the rest of her muzzle. what the hell is going on with that far left paw. also plenty of blurriness and artifacting to go around.

more super weird anatomy. the left (of the photo) arm is much smaller than than the right. again, weird fur texture. tail is also strangley straight and doesn't appear to be coming from the bottom of the spine.

general ai weirdness, but please pay special attention to the bottom right of the image.

what was once a watermark is now an obscured, jumbled mess.

oh and i see some real images on your blog too, i was wrong in saying all of them weird ai generated. some of them are stolen from real artists.

edit: clarification on why not disclosing why ai generated content is bad. it obscures the truth. people will see this and think real lambs look like this. certain demographics of vegans/vegetarians have used this image as ammo for their own moral beliefs against others in the reblogs and comments. this isn't the worst example of misinformation though. ai images can be used in defamatory ways against others. many of you may have heard of the ai generated nude images of celebrities and other people. in general, generating images with false information and not disclosing that is dishonest at best and actively harmful at worst.

Hello world! I'm 17 minutes old❤️

The Exotic Animal Photo Reference Repository is live!

You can find it at: https://www.animal-photo-references.com!

Here's how this repository works: all photos were taken by me, a human, at zoos, aquariums, sanctuaries, and other facilities with animals in human care. There is no AI involved in the photo editing or creation and there never will be. Right now there's 56 species on the site; my catalog has over 300 and I will be uploading the rest of them as fast as I can.

Artists creating derivative or transformative works (without AI) have blanket permission to use these references. Yes, even for work you're going to sell.

All other usage/reproduction requires permission, but assume I'm friendly and please do ask! That's educators, researchers, the media, people who need images for a school presentation, etc. This is just to retain copyright/control in case they're scraped/reused unethically - it doesn't meant I don't want folk to have access! So please do reach out via the contact form on the repository website, I don't bite and I'm most likely going to say yes.

Please don't repost the repository photos to your own blogs: I've created @animalphotorefs as a dedicated blog to share photos from the site, and of course I'll reblog a lot of it here! That again just helps with retaining copyright and sourcing of the images. If you really want to repost some for a specific purpose, please just ask me first!

Also, folks, this project has no funding. It's just me and my camera.

There will never be a paywall on the site - I believe resources like this absolutely must be free for everyone to access. So please, please, please support the repository if you use it. Want sneak peeks at photos, cute videos I take, or to help choose what I photograph and what gets posted first? You can do that through Patreon (and there's a free trial on the most interactive tier!) If you'd like to just drop a tip, I've also set up a Ko-Fi.

I can't wait to hear what everyone thinks of the repository.

To whet your thirst for cute photos, here's an Indian rhinoceros contemplating a goose.

there was like an effect used for a lot of the visualizations (it was most noticable particularly in the new song that I didn't catch the name of, the one with the live girls saying what I think was "cut and drain your blood" or smth) where it had that pseudo-flickery ai patterning effect and it was so so cool, I'd really like to know how it works
