My stance on AI "art" will remain unchanged for eternity.

AI steals and plagiarizes from real artists. It imitates without consent, has no emotional depth and produces generic and uninspired results. It devalues human art and erodes creativity.

Call people out and shame them for using it.
The barista at Starbucks asked me if I want caramel sauce in my English tea. Where the fuck do these animals come from?

Wait, there are people who actually sexualize vampires? Ew

Honestly, if I'm watching a movie and a woman dies, it kinda ruins it for me.

An interesting fact that the lorebooks don't mention. The scenes on Tattoine in Star Wars were filmed in Tunisia, not too far from where the ancient city of Carthage used to be.

So next time you watch those movies, kmow that under those sands is a bracelet I once lost and would like back

I watched the first episode of Critical Role on my flight today. It seems enjoyable, but I don't think I have the energy or time for hundreds of 3+ hour episodes

My ghoul has been spending alot of time on tik tok and most of the videos that come up for her are AI videos of animals working in the fast food industry, animals with human like faces saying "hewwo pwincess" or cats attacking Bob Ross.

Humans are fucked

If he dies before his 4 years are up, I'll do something crazy like marry a brujah.

I spent the full moon walking down Hollywood Blvd and playing this neat new game my ghoul showed me.

You get to find and catch these cute imaginary pets. Some of them are so adorable

Playing as an Elder in VtMb2 is actually a genius decision because it's a subtle reference to the fact that fans of the original game are now, in fact, Elders themselves

In vampire the masquerade bloodlines 1 you play as a fledgling

In VtMB2 you play as an elder

VtMB3 is going to have us playing as Antediluvians, which I'm totally okay with.

Go play night road, it's amazing
If you want to contribute to my pizza toppings and also be a vampire courier driving across the American Southwest one step ahead of hunters, rival vampires, and the sun, you can play Night Road's first four chapters for free!

A surprising amount of nosferatus are furries.

Fair warning, if you call me without scheduling it with me first, I won't answer. I will stare at the screen until the call ends.

If you send me a voice message, I won't listen to it, I'll tell you that I'll listen later but I won't.

But if you text me? I will drop everything and respond.

Ravnos and Malkavians are no longer allowed in my gallery. You know what you did.

I'm doing some voice work for a small indie game and the guy I'm working with asked me if I'm interested in vampires.

Oh honey.

You know what? I do gatekeep. What are you going to do about it?

Just because you can turn into an animal, it doesn't mean you should. Have some decency.
