Hey, man, c'mere. Listen. Get in real close, this is important.

You're gonna make stuff again. You're gonna make stuff you're proud of. You're gonna make stuff you're excited to share. You're going to feel that overwhelming drive to create, not just the frantic I want to want to you're stuck in now. You're going to have awesome ideas, and you're going to make them into reality. You're going to create again. You're still an artist. You're still a writer. You're still home to the same passion you had before. You'll find it again. It's not gone. It's just resting. Let it rest. You're going to make stuff again. I promise.

She's so pretty with her hair down

Reblog and put in the tags a TRULY unpopular fandom opinion that you have that you’re sure would get you tarred and feathered in most fandom spaces.

Oculous Imperia got fucking copyright claimed by an ai slop warhammer lore channel that uses David Attenborough's stolen voice

What in the everloving F U C K

Yeah, so, AI slop channels are (as we've all seen) on the rise. Producing content by automating as much of the video creation process as possible in order to get money as cynically and flaccidly as possible.

It is, of course, not enough for these channels to coast along on doing basically little more than creating glorified slideshows; they've now taken to attacking other (actual) content creators to bully them and leech revenue.

How do they do this? They abuse YouTube's famously lazy, hands-off copyright claiming system by saying that a piece of media in the video (typically artwork or a footage clip) is theirs. YouTube automatically assumes this is true and copyright strikes the video. The result of this strike varies. If the video is monetised, because the person makes a living from their content, money now goes to the AI channel. Perhaps the video is blocked in certain countries. Perhaps multiple copyright strikes are levied against a creator in succession, to get their channel banned. Perhaps it's simply to inconvenience and stress them while they get the strike overturned.

The whole thing is foul. It's a swarm of talentless hacks who, not satisfied with the revenue they get from doing fuck all, are trying to parasitise from and harm hardworking people, often people who they've stolen information from in the first place for their shitty AI models.

So, then, who are these channels involved in this particular event?

Imperial Iterator is the AI slop channel; a spineless, cynical little cretin who runs their sham of a lore channel through a channel management agency in Los Angeles. They pump out AI-generated scripts in an AI-generated voice whilst taking money from more deserving people. Just constant dogshit content being passed off as media. This person/people are actual trash. Block them, blacklist them, reject them.

Oculus Imperia is... Oculus Imperia. A longstanding, respected and high quality 40k lore channel run by an extremely lovely and hardworking guy. His videos are easy to listen to, thoughtful, and well-researched. Great for both active listening and throwing on when you're doing something. I highly recommend subscribing to him if you haven't already. Like his videos, if you like them. He and his channel are a delight all round.

Support actual content creators. Put these AI cunts in the garbage where they belong.

Yrliet and flowers. Part three of portraits for Rogue Trader ladies

Yes I love purple, how did you guessed?

[redstairs]

They hated her because she spoke the truth...

[redstairs]

Awoooo turns out I wasn't sad and lazy I just needed my meds

[redstairs]

Idira doubling down.

"Ah, the Lord Captain. Wisdom has been chasing her, but that one can run."

I suppose Heinrix has nervous tics and twitches (which, at times, he hides with the help of biomancy) every time he hears 'This could be an opportunityyyyyyy!', 'What a peculiar thing!', 'I will lead us to fortune!' or 'Taking calculating risk is my second nature!'

What’s Nocturne like in other Eldars POV🤣

[redstairs]

Probably watching the rogue trader do some bullshit

[redstairs]

Too tired to draw or write but I refuse to go to bed

[redstairs]

Got such nice comments in my AO3 inbox at a moment where I'm struggling so hard to get back into my fics and man that just broke open my heart.

Imma try my best readers! I love you.

Who's Hotter? Warhmmer 40k: Rogue Trader Women

[redstairs]

The other commission I had done on my break is this cozy sketch with Jae and Sesselie! Hopefully the servo placement keeps Tumblr off my back. Artist is gilded ruin on instagram! It will never not be embarrassing to explain your warhammer OC to a non warhammer person.

[redstairs]

And for us who like both / the other side. Perfect cinnamon roll 40k Disney Princess, harmony of souls tsundere redhead, muscle mommy nun with guns, Cara Mia goth wife, girl who will mooch your mom's ciggies then smoke them with you behind the school parking lot and more.

rogue trader, just like warhammer in general, has smth there for everyone. long haired slut elf prince twinks, emotionally stunted broody fucks, buff men that you just want to be picked up by, even bigger, buffer men that could pick you up without even straining, manipulative mutants, hot tech priests, evil surgeon elves… it’s all there baby

something about loving a character and wishing the narrative did too
