a futile effort little #lysandre -centric comic 1/2

Hey guys, guess what I found the petition to not let Disney put AI onto their streaming service Disney+ and instead reject that idea www.change.org/p/say-no-to-...

Update on Discord Server: almost done, will be seeking out some people who would like to help with moderating the server, only looking for a few people for right now to start off slow!

I think allowing for use of LLMs for works on AO3 was a massive mistake. That isn't fan created work, that is machine generated predictive text which has plagiarized fan created works. It shouldn't be considered fanfiction or transformative.

also: even if you're bad at it you can still make fucking art. impactful human expression also comes from people with no formal training. from punk music to meme comics to child poetry. writing a crappy fanfic is literally and objectively more fulfilling than having a mediocre book written for you.

How cool is it to have the mayor elect of Seattle show up at a Starbucks picket line and say “I’m not shopping here until these guys get a contract”?

OK LET'S DO THIS! Pokemon fans, let's show some love to AI Sada and AI Turo with ArtificialParadiseShipping week! Some rules below!

STARTING SOON If you like Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, sad robots, robots in love, alternate timeline fuckery, or just want better for these characters, join in!

steam is apparently allowing "this game had AI in it that it didn't disclose" as a valid return statement, so if you or anyone you know actually paid $70 for slop, get that money back

If you guys want a great recipe to use any time of year, preserved lemons have multiple uses. I like to dice them up and put them in Thanksgiving mashed potatoes! No alt text because I'm going to post the recipe below. Source is The Home Preserving Bible by Carole Cancler 🧵

Normalization is a thing, its just that people have a very skewed view of how it works in practice (many fail to understand depiction and endorsement as separate things, let alone getting to the nuances of when a work is contextually only endorsing a fantasy rather than a real act)

Been sick today and napped a lot and I could hear Athena downstairs yelling for me. Little birds don't understand. I was pondering if I could lie on the couch, except both my parents are in their 70s and if I'm contagious then I don't want to risk them, so I'll have to pick parrot confusion.

so many people are lending a hand to fascists when they police each other on "acceptable" nsfw content and get too scared to stand up for sw'ers and artists when the worst thay could happen to them is get called problematic by other puritans

I want to do a FATAL game as a charity thing, donating extra every time someone dies in character creation.

It's weird to me how people suddenly use "mid" to mean terrible. It means middlin', average, the middle, a solid C. Why do people think that's the scum of the earth?

⛰️山海経15: 䴅。騒がしい6本足カササギ。首の数は特筆されていないのですが、せっかくなので頭も増やしました。3羽集まるとかしましい。 🌊Shanhai jing 15: Fen, the six-legged noisy magpie with a white body and a red tail. The description doesn’t mention their head, so I felt I should add some to let them be noisier. #山海経の怪鳥30羽描く #30WeirdAncientBirds

An aggressively French idea for a Fidough alternate evolution. Meet Croquempooch!! #pokemon #fakemon

It is 1998. I am at the kitchen table writing Batman fanfic but I keep getting distracted by breaking news about a Bill Clinton sex scandal It is 2025. I am at the kitchen table writing a canonical Bat-book but I keep getting distracted by breaking news about a Bill Clinton sex scandal

love it when im writing something for my fanfic and I show it to my dad to see what he thinks, and he agrees with me that it's very in character for the blorbo im writing for,,, i feel SO validated rn—

I spent yesterday organizing my archives & didn't realize I had this super rare art scan! This limited handout is from the 2017 Japan Expo event in Paris & with art by Yusuke Nakano & Satoru Takizawa. www.ikhanakingdom.com is forever incredible & had scanned this for us from her collection! #zelda

Anyone who thinks they should be able to limit fan creativity is an ingrate who doesn't understand human imagination, and I don't trust them as writers if they do that.

Like, you're claiming moral superiority and then BULLYING people You don't get to claim the high road when you do that. you are, at that point, WORSE than the thing you're crusading against bc at least the thing you were crusading against WASN'T FUCKING REAL.

"it's problematic" ... Yes, and? It's FANfiction and FANart It can be whatever. Like, there are stories out there that upset me and you know what I do? Move on. Why? Because why in the ever loving fuck would i waste energy on going after people who write content i don't like?

Yo WTF is up with shipping drama. I just learned what antis are. Lmao i cannot imagine being bent out of shape because of somebody shipping fictional characters Y'all would not have lasted on late 2000s tumblr Srsly grow the hell up, stop bitching about SHIPS! WHO CARES IT'S FICTION

My little buddy!

Good job! Here's another nice birdie to celebrate your birdie ☺️🦜

The atrocity machine - people wanna see normalization? It ain't in fanfic and comix, it's this shit.

Hi, I've been suspended for posting a GIF that you guys include as an option on your own platform. I've also been suspended for replying to someone who hoped that I would die or be deported, whose account is still up. I never received a reply to my emails. You guys just suck at your job.

Me: male rape victims are often dismissed and told that they were lucky, and their rapists aren't seen as criminals at all Some Yobbo: boys get away with far too much so I'm going to act like your comment was about rapists because I can't see boys as anything but aggressors Way to prove my point!

I find it EXTREMELY annoying that I have to do this every single time I want to read fanfiction. EXTREMELY. ANNOYING!!! On the other hand, this tag should be mandatory for every text that's generated this way. I want nothing to do with that stuff; I want to read human writing. #fanfiction #humanart

the last time i did this ebi, miso and ponzu were still very young so it's time i did an update now that they've grown into their personalities! and of course yuzu and papaya needed to be added

Make a wish!

Please continue making calls to Visa and Mastercard, because they are working alongside conservative legislators to crack down on free speech and expression! A dual pronged offense requires a dual pronged defense!

Sure would be a shame if this shuttered after a week or less due to people figuring out how to bypass filters prohibiting porn, non-Disney IPs, and illegal acts to the point moderators couldn't keep up leading to moral outrage among parents.

Sharing a preview of my Pokemon Conquest piece for We Chose You @pkmn30annivzine.bsky.social Zine! Preorders are open and info is below ⬇️

the snap games are fun rail shooters where you take pictures of pokémon hanging out in the wild and i have been meaning to try out conquest eventually because historical figure nobunaga having a shiny rayquaza is inherently funny

I realized something about Pokemon Masters and the Arc Suits. We've seen something like that before, in the warlord evolutions in Pokemon Conquest. And that game was about getting the blessing of Arceus.

Research assistant says enough st00pid computer, it's time for scritches.

Ollie bird, my Timneh African Grey is 31 years old today. He’ll tell you himself that Ollie’s a good bird. 💕 #birdsofbluesky

Assistant says enough typing at reading, its scritches time (but I need to finish hate-reading this article).
