Being a smaller creator , getting my project out there is tough. Trying to reach the vampire, twilight, and black anime nerd fans that want to see a black girl at the center of the story and vampire romance haha. If you're out there give my pilot a shot!

A great way to fight back against AI taking away work from creatives is to buy art by actual humans.

I finished the entire BLOPS 7 campaign, asked for a refund and Valve granted it to me.

I wrote: "The game constantly utilized AI generated options that were not present in the marketing for the game as well as videos and screenshots of the material."

Shocked they did TBH

"Its not a big deal"
"You can just ignore it"

Why are you paying your hard-earned money to a service you watch that gives you stuff that **no one made** that is not a big deal and youll just wind up ignoring? 🤔

SS Edmund Fitzgerald
A small quick painting of the Edmund Fitzgerald lost November 10, 1975 on Lake Superior. The waves crash all around the ship as she breaks amidship spouting water upward in a cascade, the ships last breath before she sank, taking with her the lives of her 29 crew members.

Ever since I was given this napkins set with psychic damage inducing inaccurate cat breeds, I've noticed that the same artist(s) are licensed on cat breed merch EVERYWHERE.

IT'S SO BAD!

Universe, if you know someone looking to license cat art, please, please, contact me! I actually know cats!
A cat breed napkins set. It includes breeds such as "white." "Farm cat." Or a calico labeled as "ginger tabby" None of those are breeds. Those are colors... or concepts? Of the recognizable breeds, many are wrong such as a "manx" with a full tail, or a tuxedo tabby "Turkish angora" There are also fake breeds like "York chocolate" which was an experimental 1980s attempt at a breed that was never recognized by any major cat fancier. An A-Z cat breed towel that includes mutations that were never recognized as breeds (German rex) or cross breed designer breeds (dwelf, Ukrainian levkoy) which would be like a dog breed towel including goldendoodle instead of German shepherd for their G. Some breeds seem made up. This is more accurate than the napkins, but stylistic choices make it seem like it could be the same artist as the napkins.

Whenever I get (very appreciated) compliments about the quiet intimacy in my work - I can trace it back to growing up with «Le Lit» by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec. It hung in my parents’ bedroom and I would look at it every day, inventing stories about the two women.

I’m confused when people make a review of something they say to size down when the whole time they’ll be like “it fits, it’s snug and it’s really comfortable, I would size down to though.” 😭??Like did you not just finish saying how much of a perfect fit it was and the video/photo shows it fitting!

Artist propaganda I’m not falling for (and you shouldn’t either):
ARTIST PROPAGANDA I'M NOT FALLING FOR: X Pulling all-nighters to make art proves you’re dedicated to your craft X True artists draw every single day X Only make friends with fellow artists cuz they’ll get you gigs someday X Freelancing is for artists who can't get a "real" studio job X Drawing fanart is cringe X Your portfolio should only have what studios want to see

Queer Indonesian culture is when you're constantly navigating the many new ways people try to justify misogyny within a marginalized space. And then on the other side of that coin is the very blatant man-hater-to-terf-pipeline. Basically, if you're a trans dude, i wish you the best of luck

okay sorry I cannot shut the fuck up about this topic, instead of another massive thread, here
okay thinking about this further- it's hard to really explain media literacy in bite size pieces, but tldr- the kids shows or games these fans are used to consuming are purposefully written to spell out how the characters feel, how you're supposed to feel, "this character is SAD because-" type writing. That's awesome when you're writing things for 8 year olds, but when you're an adult you should be able to glean that by now without a little sad musical cue and a close-up on their sad looking face. I think fans begin to see these as hardfast rules that, when a thing doesn't abide by them, they're not obeying the rules, become unpredictable to them, and that's "bad writing". They get angry at the writers for not following the rules, that it's "confusing" and that makes them angry and they lash out lol Media literacy is, as far as I understand boiling down a complex concept into a single thing, the ability to hold several truths at the same time. Like, say Nucky Thompson hates his abusive father, so he tries to be a good surrogate father to his mistress' kids. But he refuses to marry her, because he feels like he'd be replacing his dead wife. On the other end, Nucky treats Jimmy coldly despite being a father figure, thus becoming the cold father his own dad was to him, because he wants Jimmy to become the cold self-reliant gangster he is, which he credits to his fathers' coldness. He's a bunch of living contradictions, and you can hold all these truths at the same time if you pay attention. When you can't manage that, you'd have fans who would say "omg you like him? he's a monster!! if you like him you're also a monster!" or "omg you hate him? he's a victim of abuse, it isn't his fault! he's trying!!" I'm not saying hazbin hotel is that complex, I'm just trying to illustrate here that things become richer when you let them be richer and don't get mad when there's a spice in your food you didn't see in the AO3 hashtags on the menu, you know?
