Everyone should call their reos about these bills trying to repeal section 230 But if any if these in particular are your reps you should ESPECIALLY yell at them

Here’s a neat trick: take whatever prompt you were gonna type into AI and give it to an artist. Give me a word salad and the worst sketch on a napkin and I will make a coherent version of your idea. I’ll even do iterations if you ask nice. Without poisoning the planet or stealing from someone.

I really want to emphasize that this is a winnable fight, but everyone has to chip in in order to do so! Please dont sit it out expecting others to stand in your place! And dont ignore local/state level stuff! As these state laws get overturned, the narrative behind the Fed ones lose steam!

The comments here are full of alternatives for anyone else looking!

Two thoughts re: Larian 1. World class artists do not generally use the hallucinating plagiarism machine to “make their lives easier” unless some out of touch CEO is making them 2. Just take the free market feedback, bud. Gamers (you know the people who hopefully buy your games) FUCKING HATE genAI

Using gen ai for text and asset placeholders is not solving a problem; games have been made for decades with regular placeholders. studios using AI this way are just testing the water to see what more they can get away with - which will inevitably mean laying off skilled workers, to make worse games

Call your reps, call your senators. Protect trans kids and trans healthcare.

Using genAI for concept art is so fucking stupid because like... that's where you get the cool shit. Thats the blue sky phase where artists make pieces of art that will be seen by a teenager later and change their life forever. Why would you want to start from mediocre. Why would you do that.

Using AI for concept art?? Good to know you have no respect for artists or end consumers. If they’re using genAI concept art, then I have no trust that the final game won’t have AI slop in it. Guess I can cross future Larian games off my to play list. All this and it isn’t even more efficient 😒

Hey romancelandia and fandom peeps! If you live in the U.S. right now you should know that KOSA (along with a slew of censorship bills) are advancing through congress right now. If you care about spicy books and/or fanfiction you should contact your reps right now and tell them to vote NO on KOSA!

#Smutcember I do like a good grumpy/sunshine pairing and its similar incarnation: calm and composed/absolute chaos goblin. Ex: in LUST AND FOUND, infernal king Azerylan has not one but two endearingly chaotic partners who keep him grounded amid the impersonal formalities of ruling a kingdom. 💙📚🌈💜

Death Rides a Pale Horse (circa 2020)

HOUND FOR HELL: Repressed bisexual priest fails an exorcism so hard, he ends up in a polycule with a fallen angel and two demons and learns that sometimes the path to redemption is paved with puppy play. #monsterromance 💙📚🌈💜

🚨 URGENT!!!!!! Congress is trying to ram through 18 massive censorship/surveillance laws TODAY 🚨 CALL THESE REPS NOW and tell them —NO to KOSA —NO to Section 230 reform —NO to age verification laws —NO to the SCREEN Act —NO to digital ID laws (App Store Accountability Act) badinternetbills.com

CALL YOUR SENATORS, especially your republican senators and lean on them to vote to extend the ACA credits. Here is the switchboard: (202) 224-3121 There are some who are wavering. PLEASE call. As someone who desperately needs their meds and can't afford to go without insurance, leave a voicemail.

This is huge!

More sketches of the big man but this time he's got more swords! 🤩 #WarDemonStory

#Smutcember answer: Not anymore! I have 4 queer monster romance books out now and a parent who’s read at least two of them, there’s no shaming me now 😅 Practice & positive feedback have helped a lot Supportive friends & fellow writers are invaluable! Also, my work isn’t for everyone & that’s okay

❤️‍🔥

i love frankenstein (2025) so much #art

#bakedrhymes Sometimes ive thoughts Untamed & impure Artistical fancies Of carnal allures Thots that are canvas For sinful delight Painted with worship And prayers to the night For Poet's with thoughts There's simply no cure I'll never be bimbo My cross to endure

Holiday shopping for your favorite monsterfucker? I’ve got you covered friends! Choose from shapeshifting shadows, man-eating lesbian mermaids, or amorous archdemons with queer, neurodivergent human love interests 💙📚 Buy from me: helstaffbooks.com Everywhere Else: books2read.com/ap/RDeD7L/Sy...

In Lust and Found & the WIP sequel, there are no seasons in the infernal realm, just varied biomes. If you like winter, you can visit the kingdom of Sloth and see demons napping beneath a blanket of snow like large, scaley huskies. If you like it hot, go to Wrath and spar by the lake of fire 🧵

Gentle reminder that you don't have to "deserve" rest.🌱 You need rest to function. It's not a treat you get for functioning.

#Smutcember today: slow burn or fast feelings? Both! In Lust and Found, Rowan and Azer (and later Rannak) are quick to fall in lust but then slower to figure out their deeper feelings. One an introverted human witch, the other Archdemon of Lust… neither with much experience in love. #writesky

This, very much. From my experience, it usually accounts for 80-90% of sales, and sales have been really soft as of late. Doesn't mean we'll stop doing what we love, but it does make things tougher. Especially as a lot of lists that come out this time of year also tend to ignore indie authors.

Ho ho fucking ho grab this bundle before you go

Closing in on finishing the draft of HOUND FOR HELL! At 120k words so far and this book has everything: 🔥Emotional angst 🔥Change and forgiveness 🔥Priest x fallen angel x demons 🔥Pup play 🔥Magical sex toys 🔥Everyone’s bi and mad at god 🔥Weird infernal magic & science 🔥Oddly heartwarming smut 💙📚 🌈💜

First kiss for #Smutcember today, from SWIM WITH ME, DARLING, my sapphic horrormance novelette. When Lana gets pushed into the cursed lake, she has a breathless meet cute with the monster behind the legends. A kiss that saves her from drowning and plunges her headlong into yearning for more. 💙📚

Writing banter and getting to know each other is fun but, I think my favorite to write are the non-verbal cues. Gravitating towards each other, lingering glances, physical reactions to the presence of a love interest. I especially enjoy this in characters when they’re yet unaware of their feelings.

Online age verification is a tempting idea. I'm a dad, I get it, but what's being proposed isn't just an ID check, it's a list of your kid's faces and data. A list in the hands of increasingly totalitarian governments, tech companies, and dysfunctional AI. It's not protection, it's surveillance.
