Kiss kiss fall in love: jean joins the host club!

Notes under the cut

1) once again a fanfic managed to occupy so much headspace I couldn’t rest until it was on paper (or tablet I guess)

2) fanfic in question is Moving Forward by @sunny-duckling which you can find on Ao3 (link below)

3) most drawings are scenes from the fic (which I forgot to label but hopefully it’s obvious which are which). I drew the ones that I recall from memory the most. The chapter where they do the investigation had me guffawing with laughter, and I go back and read it a lot lol

Youtube is going to make you give up your government information to prove your age

Blow up YouTube's phone and email lines NOW before August 13th!

Well shit. It appears as though I have to do another post that isn't the one shot I wanted to write. So, in America, YouTube is going to try and use age verification AI to make sure you aren't underage.

What this means is that there will be an Artificial Intelligence looking over your watch history to judge if you are a child. So, if you naturally lean towards watching gaming videos primarily for children (or you just watch one too many of those), the AI will use that to say that you are obviously under 18.

If you are flagged as under 18, what will happen is that you will be cut off from anything that YouTube deems "mature", which, if you're even the slightest bit familiar with YouTube, that could mean anything.

If you have been falsely flagged, then guess what? You are going to have to: provide your driver's license, your social security number, your face, or your credit card to prove that you are in fact of age.

I will repeat that.

You will need to give this website your DRIVER'S LICENSE (YOUR ID), SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER, OR YOUR CREDIT CARD TO PROVE THAT YOU ARE NOT UNDER 18.

This is by nature extremely problematic, given how you're giving your government information to an incredibly insecure website, compared to one run by a government agency. Not only that, it will not stop children from entering adult spaces.

You can already see by how I'm describing it that this system is easy to trigger, and easy to cheat. The only purpose this serves is to compromise the security of millions. Make no mistake, that is explicitly the goal.

THE CRUELTY IS THE FUCKING POINT. THIS IS NOT SOME CUTE LITTLE MISTAKE.

Attempts to undermine anonymity and encryption by the UK, US, and Australian governments are specifically designed to make the internet unsafe by compromising the security of its users.

This not a mistake. It's not about protecting children, it's about control and fearmongering. And all the issues I've laid out makes it evident. It pushes children into spaces that make them vulnerable to predators. It forces victims of abuse to go silent online because their support group has been made inaccessible orthey're at risk of being witch hunted. And it's a dream for human traffickers.

Again,

Blow up YouTube's phone and email lines NOW before August 13th!

And if you are in a country legally requiring age verification to use websites, then you need to protest, protest, PROTEST and blow up the phone and email lines of government agencies until the law has been repealed.

Lives are stake here, this is not an exaggeration.

You know, when I was 15 I watched the movie Blade Runner. I thought to myself “Man this world is terrifying, good thing this’ll never happen”

Needless to say I was fucking wrong. So I’ll see you all at the noodle shop in our rainy city of endless darkness and neon lights, where the only break in the smog is giant blimps with “big brother is watching” ass advertisements.

Saw the most dystopian thing on the train today.

Trumpet and jazz hands: it’s Viking!reiner!!

Notes under the cut

1) @oxygenbefore1775 your au takes up so much space in my brain I have a mind to charge you rent (kidding I love this)

2) absolutely applauding you for those tattoos because holy smokes drawing that took years off my life- and it doesn’t even look that good sad face

3) I added a lot of my own touches and just.. made up stuff for this I hope that’s okay (´∀｀*)

4) I feel like reiner’s padawan braid should be mentioned- it just felt right

5) i still feel like I should be making Reiner’s back more scarred and depict the battles he been through, ya’know? But I was feeling uh- - lazy, so I didn’t

6) is it historically inaccurate for zeke to have glasses? Probably. Do I care? No.

Clearly I could keep going, but I’ll cut it here for now. This au and many of these designs (notably Reiner’s clothes and tattoo) were created by oxygenbefore1975, who you should definitely go check out if you want more. You can also find the fanfiction, bridging tongues, on ao3 (link below)
