It Is 20-FUCKING-19, And The Fact The People, No Matter Their Gender, No Mater Their Sexuality, Are Still

reminder that being against ai also means being against character.ai and not using character.ai and not interacting with character.ai

i've never talked to chatgpt i've never talked to character.ai i have no interest in talking to a chatbot even if it's fun or based on my comfort character. if we want companies to stop using ai we need to tell them we aren't going to interact with it - so don't.

don't talk to robots. full stop.

Please reblog if you think that “they/them/theirs” is a valid set of pronouns.

yes

hmm artists what feature do you draw on the face first. this is for science btw.

Sewer Crypt

Chapter One

What would happen if Raph, Donnie, Casey, and April were never cured?

The night air was chilly, especially up on the rooftops. Perhaps too chilly for mid june, but it didn’t bother him, not anymore anyway. In fact, he loved it, reveled in it actually. The bite of the cool breeze in his throat tasted like power. It tasted safe. Safe as this side of the city. The stars were bright here and he was glad for it. The telltale light pollution of civilization disgusted him, it reminded him far too much of the burn of sunrise. But this part of the city had been taken by his kind long ago.

Never had he actually found the darkness of night all that dark. Whether or not that was the result of his dimly glowing eyes or just the abilities that came with the transformation was beyond him. At the moment, It didn’t matter either way because it allowed him to watch his newest batch of ghouls run around the street like roughhousing children. He enjoyed watching them, it took his mind off things.

He’d always been a natural at controlling ghouls. Even back when he was a little fledgling surviving off spiders and rats. He still had his baby fangs back then. That thought brought a smile to his face, one that quickly faded when his mind provided another memory from back then. The time he’d invited his brothers to join him. He was quite naive at the time and he wished he could go back to give his younger self the cold, hard truth and maybe a slap to the face. His hand reached up to his bicep to fiddle with a long, red piece of fabric tied around his sleeve. A habit his master encouraged. It probably made him easier to manipulate, whatever, he didn’t really care all that much.

Pulling his hand away quickly, he reminded himself he still had one of his brothers and two of his friends. Sighing loudly he pulled out his phone and a not so quiet cuss rang out. Taking a deep breath of air, he let out a bone chilling screech that echoed across multiple blocks. His ghouls took action immediately. Scrambling through open doors and windows and into sewer grates and manholes. There were even some clambering into ventilation shafts at the top of buildings. It looked like chaos, and it was, but they all had one goal in mind; to get out of the open. The time was 4:30, far too close to dawn for his comfort.

He himself hastily made his way to a manhole, jumping off the building he had stood on. He hated taking the sewers, they were filled with painful memories from… less complicated times. His hand wandered to the strip of red, tattered fabric just as his mind wandered to old memories. Memories of laughter, memories of fighting, of crying and hugging, of joy, of playing and injury, training and youth, memories of brotherhood.

“Raphael!” A voice yelled way too close behind him. Startled, he whipped around to see a pair of familiar glowing eyes.

“Donnie?” His voice sounded shakier than he anticipated. He blinked away tears he hadn’t realized were there and cleared his throat. His brother's annoyed expression morphed into pity. He hated that. “What the hell, man? You scared the shit outta me!” His voice had a lot less bite than he wanted.

“Look where you are.” Donnie’s voice came out unimpressed and somehow it was worse than pity. “I’ve called your name like twenty times!”

Raph glanced around the environment and quickly realized where his brother's worry had come from. He was in his old room in the old lair, muscle memory must have taken him here when he wasn’t paying attention. Weird. He’d think after thirty three years his body would know not to go here anymore. It was the exact same as it was all those years ago, minus the thick layer of dust that seemed to coat everything, he also noticed that his extra mask was nowhere in sight but he decided not to think about the implications of that.

“Oh, whoops! Muscle memory am I right?” He forced a smile onto his face which Donnie immediately gave a look to.

“That’s probably the single worst fake smile I have ever seen.” Raph decided Donnie’s deadpan was definitely worse than pity.

He chewed the inside of his cheek and kept from meeting his gaze. Had he always found it this difficult to lie to his purple clad twin?

“Sorry.” He eventually managed to sigh out.

“Don’t, just… don’t. Let’s just go home.” Raph couldn’t help but wince internally. He hated making Donnie worry, he was his only brother who didn’t see him as some death obsessed, bloodthirsty monster. Probably because he was one too.

You know, something just hit me. Todoroki, Bakugou, literally all the boys people draw thirst art over or draw smut in 1-A; they’re 15. Like literally, they are only Freshman in high school. Yeah people usually age them up when they draw that kind of thing, but like... they still kids. In cannon, they are children. And that just hit me.

Like, I wasn’t even looking or reading anything in that category. I was watching a video of someone drawing Todoroki, and I thought to myself ‘huh, Todoroki has a baby fact. His chin isn’t as big as people usually make it.’ Then boom. ‘He’s 15. Why would he have a really pronounced chin/jawline. He’s a child.’

In conclusion, y’all nasty.

" You artists are panicking over nothing! No one is gonna steal your job just like photography didn't kill it! It's just a tool!"

....

-living struggling artists have their specific art made into AI and people are already buying AI reproductions of their style.

-There are already popular youtubers using AI pictures to illustrate their videos instead of hiring an artist.

- Publishing companies are making statements about having bought AI pictures for bookcovers without knowing.

But yeah sure, we are "worried for nothing."

YOU are bi!

The Owl House season 3 is almost here! Have some Lumity in celebration 🎉
