Very discouraging; my parents want me to use AI for my art just because "I'm in obsolete era like traditional arts were replaced by digital art (Photoshop)".
No matter I've explained it's NOT the same thing, it's to no avail not only my parents, but also others out there who have same thinking.

I never knew there's story behind WWM when it released in China first, the Chinese incels hated the game just because men characters look too "revealing", women characters look too "covered", & several women devs worked in this game.
No wonder the game radiates uniquely different! 😁👍✨️

Where Winds Meet is the one & only MMOARPG gatcha game that convinced me to play it. I dislike MMOARPG, until this! Not only it’s free game, but also since kid I occasionally watch CN wuxia/xianxia TV + know tiny bit CN culture. Then read manhua; then 2020s I have time consuming danmei. So the -

The urge to speak up about the police raid in my country is so high. It's always happened on close queer space. However it's also a part of reasons why I left Twitter. I dont get affected much from cyberbullied by local bigots, but it's draining nevertheless. Now it's extended to bigots afraid of-

My online name thingy (character) is XieShala if anyone wanted to add/co-op with me (if I'm not busy with thesis film & thesis writing🚶♀️)

Twitter updated new feature where true location of app thingy is visible. While this can see as benefit to expose racists/pretenders, the biggest drawback to me is potentially can extend to home address in the future. More reason to leave Twitter. Shorten my stay in alt twit from Dec to this weekend

Since postgraduate workshop last Saturday, unfortunately my thesis film progress went slow. So my target to finish animations only (not yet audio) by end of November postponed to early December. Hope I have time for audio production until early January.

Fandom isn’t your job. Take a month off. Take 3 years off. Post incomplete fics. Post incomplete art. Never post again. Switch fandoms. Stay loyal to one fandom only. Do whatever tf you want. You literally make all the rules of engagement in this arena.

My biggest fear & hatred towards the existence of genAI/AI art is making people’s perception changed that artists’ imperfections in their works = AIslop.
My art has been long time have imperfections especially on hands, feet, unclean linearts/shading, & inconsistencies. Especially I’m more on-

Dispatch is overall okay! There are some flaws (sobs why only 2 women romanceable😭), but I love every single characters! Z-Team, Blonde Blazer, Chase, Royd, Phenomaman, even Galen!
Also same VA, so everytime I hear Robert, I see Nyx from Final Fantasy XV Kingsglaive. 🏃♀️💨

Watched Mignon for the first time.
I have ascended.
Best BL by far from Korea. Holy moly.
The way they animate even including spicy scenes, the characters' acting doing those acts are mindblowing!✨️
I process so slow on story had to rewatch 2nd time; distracted by animation. Kudos to animators!

Watched a new donghua called The Last Dynasty; so far I watched till episode 4 (it's ongoing! Just came out recently)
The visuals are so beautiful (bonus: red & green eiyoo!!) & the story is interesting! It's not BL danmei, but fans sometimes ship them, so the author is okay with it.

Also checking other donghua & this is SO GOOD (it's not danmei, but more of friendship/bromance thing. Yet so many hints they felt like lovers😭)
I wheezed when these two point out clearly to us "I'm straight" "Me too"😂 //it's either author's OG vision or CN censorship idk//
The show is good!

I've watched Season 1 in Youtube!
