A note to all creatives:
Right now, you have to be a team player. You cannot complain about AI being used to fuck over your industry and then turn around and use it on somebody else’s industry.
No AI book covers. No making funny little videos using deepfakes to make an actor say stuff they never did. No AI translation of your book. No AI audiobooks. No AI generated moodboards or fancasts or any of that shit. No feeding someone else’s unfinished work into Chat GPT “because you just want to know how it ends*” (what the fuck is wrong with you?). No playing around with AI generated 3D assets you can’t ascertain the origin of. None of it. And stop using AI filters on your selfies or ESPECIALLY using AI on somebody else’s photo or artwork.
We are at a crossroad and at a time of historically shitty conditions for working artists across ALL creative fields, and we gotta stick together. And you know what? Not only is standing up for other artists against exploitation and theft the morally correct thing to do, it’s also the professionally smartest thing to do, too. Because the corporations will fuck you over too, and then they do it’s your peers that will hold you up. And we have a long memory.
Don’t make the mistake of thinking “your peers” are only the people in your own industry. Writers can’t succeed without artists, editors, translators, etc making their books a reality. Illustrators depend on writers and editors for work. Video creators co-exist with voice actors and animators and people who do 3D rendering etc. If you piss off everyone else but the ones who do the exact same job you do, congratulations! You’ve just sunk your career.
Always remember: the artists who succeed in this career path, the ones who get hired or are sought after for commissions or collaboration, they aren’t the super talented “fuck you I got mine” types. They’re the one who show up to do the work and are easy to get along with.
And they especially are not scabs.
*that’s not even how it ends that’s a statistically likely and creatively boring way for it to end. Why would you even want to read that.

I participated in Dragon Age Big Bang 2024 as an artist for a lovely modern AU Adoribull fic 'time will change you' by @slothpoe!
MXTX couples can't be separated, so here are the animal gongs to the animal shous I drew before: the extremely good boy Luo Binghe, sly Fox Cheng, and distinguished Hanguang Bun.
This DTIYS was originally meant for Instagram as thanks for 3k followers, but then I checked my tumblr and what a surprise! I got to 4k already? Wow! In that case...
Thank you all so much for 4000 followers!
Tumblr was my very first "social media" besides internet forums, and it still holds a very dear place in my heart. Mostly thanks to the amazing people I met there. ^^
Anyway, as this is a DTIYS, you can check out the rules under the cut if you wish to participate, I hope you'll have fun!
What is a DTIYS?
A Draw This In Your Style is a simple challenge during which an artist creates an illustration, and other people can redraw it in their own style! Go crazy, modify the poses, the interactions, as long as the core elements are there (the three mxtx protagonist with Xie Lian in chibi version), then it counts as submission!
How can you see our submission?
Simply tag me. ^^ As soon as I'll see your submission, I'll reblog it!
Is there a deadline?
Not really, but preferably before the end of 2023.
Will there be a reward/winner?
I don't want this to be a competition, and I don't have anything to offer. My only wish is for you all to have fun!
Thank you all so much for 4k followers! I hope you'll enjoy your stay on my blog. ^^/
No plot spoilers, but! There was only one song by Queen in this season (as far as I could tell).
I know I wasn't the only one who thought about other songs by Queen that would've fit this scene or that, and also not the only one who's ruminating about the songs that could be featured on the next season.
I've seen some devastating fantastic suggestions like The Show Must Go On, Who Wants To Live Forever, and of course, Love Of My Life. For the latter, I offer the lesser known alternative Nevermore, but honestly, there's only one song going around my head for s3:
Cause love's such an old fashioned word And love dares you To care for The people on the edge of the night And love dares you To change our way of Caring about ourselves This is our last dance This is our last dance This is ourselves Under pressure
Your beloved pet, your favourite animal, that legendary beast you're obsessed with, the character you adore in animal form... Let me draw them!
€15 per animal, +€10 per addition (other animals, background)
Five slots open. First come, first served~
Order via KoFi or shoot me a DM if you want to discuss it further and/or pay via Wise. Thanks in advance for your support!
ABCDMXTX - Day 10: Jiang Yanli.
Yes, you're going into the lotus root and pork rib soup.
List of prompts.
My pieces for the fic After School Paranormal Club by sleepthief, made as part of the TGCF Minibang 2022.
Summary:
"Hello, my name is Hua Cheng and there's a demon living in my right eye." It's his good grades, art talent and creative video pitch that got him the principal's okay to set up the After School Paranormal Club. But there really is a demon living in his right eye. And it's in love with gege!
High school AU in which the creepy goth kid is in love with the school's most popular jock. Pining ensues, as do curses, demons, hormones and midterms.
ABCDMXTX - Day 4: Death.
I chose Wen Ning for this prompt because his destiny and afterlife are a good illustration of how, in the MXTX novels, death is more often than not a luxury that few characters can afford.
