climbs up the side of ur building spidey-style and stares at u thru the window...... 🌻 (sunflower) and ✨ (sparkles) for zarya'th blease

yellow emoji oc asks 🌟

average city moments. haven't we all seen someone try to climb up the side of a building? takes the offered emojis ☺️

🌻 What’s something your character has grown out of? Did it happen gradually or was it a drastic change? What caused this shift?

i mean the real answer to this is elvhenhood. the condition of being elvhen.

zarya'th always felt like the her body was always meant to be temporary. the more she perfected her ancestor's magic, the more distant she felt from other elvhen. her transformation during tresspasser was the final step to finally being rid of the trappings of elvhenhood.

the eating of other elvhen has further separate herself from the people she once called her kind. the amount of agents of fen'harel infitrating the inquisition keeps her well fed. she traps them in her panopticon, she hunts them, she eats them. she has no qualms eating other elvhen, other elves, city or dalish. eating the people that were once her kind is enough to satiate her unending hunger until she can devour solas.

her disconnection from elvhen has even resulted in her eating the remaining fragments of mythal. her vallaslin -- mythal's branches being dragged into the sign of extinction on her forehead, the line splitting down her face a timeline of the end -- is no longer just a pictogram of the reaper emperor's power, but of the elvhen all-mother being annihilated.

(nova'ra eats ghilan'nain because became yhoundeh commands her to, a transference of power, granddaughter devouring grandmother. ghilan'nain lost favor with yhoundeh. zarya'th eats mythal because she must be obliterated to ensure the world is ready for the reapers. whether there is a veil or not does not matter. there is no war, there is only the harvest.)

✨ What gives your oc confidence? Is it something physical or more emotional? Do they inspire confidence in others? Why or why not?

no longer having to pretend that she's dalish was a big confidence booster. mostly because that charade was starting to wear on her nerves. (also by the end of inquisition, people were slowly beginning to realize she may not be dalish.)

her power has always been her biggest source of confidence. her magic is anceint, yes, but it is terrifying, its effects on the world are horrific. and perhaps that is what disturbed solas, is that strange and wide smile she wore during the first detonation against corypheus. she also knows exactly what she is doing with her magic. and while her ancestor, lavellan, was paranoid about the vanuris finding out about his power, zarya'th is perfectly content being in her panopticon within the white spire existing as a threat to the chantry while also making them rely on her as inquisitor.

of course her biggest source of confidence is what she is: a xenomorph-hybrid, chosen of extinction, chosen as the herald to usher the end of thedas. her xenomorph body is beautiful and perfect. she loves her acidic blood. she veils her entire body when she has to go outside the panopticon because the world cannot comprehend her new state. and when thedas is finally harvested, she hopes that the reaper emperor, extinction itself, will finally finish her transformation. the prospect of shedding all of her elvhenhood and become a daughter of the emperor fills her with happiness.

one day, she will be a xenomorph that will glow like uranium glass, sleeping amongst sisters, loved by the emperor-mother and night-mother.

Thinking about how the Push Back The Hands music video contains both a literal and separate metaphorical interpretation of the song it's meant for.

Like it's (yet another) song about a car crash, but the music video depicts actual time travel. Or how the "can't hear yourself thinking over the sirens" lyric in the song could be interpreted as an ambulance trying to pull someone out of the flaming wreckage of a car, but it's instead used to depict blaring police sirens chasing down a time travelling fugitive on the run.

one of my dear wonderful treasured friends confided in me that he didn’t really enjoy ender’s game so I IMMEDIATELY started composing a reading order/rec list in my mind of all the books that I’ve read that I think would maximize someone’s enjoyment of ender’s game. So far I’m at:

• The Bible

• Songmaster

• The entire Imperial Radch series

• Barbie as Rapunzel (not a book but very important anyway)

• Ender’s Game->Speaker for the Dead->Xenocide->Ender’s Shadow

• Ender’s Game again

• Songmaster again

• The Left Hand of Darkness

• The Girl-Thing Who Went Out For Sushi

• Ender’s Game one final time

i think i will actually digitize this map properly if only to see if i’m missing anything but in the meantime. moment of appreciation for the donald drake fenton dynamic. obsessed with drake and fenton knowing completely different legs of the triangle (donald -> paperinik and paperinik -> DD respectively) and particularly how fenton has rationalized the retired superhero -> spy pipeline . VERY excited to see where it goes

OH ALSO THE TIME TRAVEL MENTION. both go WHAT. and then we just move on. incredible

So, Discord has added a feature that lets other people "enhance" or "edit" your images with different AI apps. It looks like this:

Currently, you can't opt out from this at all. But here's few things you can do as a protest.

FOR SERVERS YOU ARE AN ADMIN IN

Go to Roles -> @/everyone roles -> Scroll all the way down to External Apps, and disable it. This won't delete the option, but it will make people receive a private message instead when they use it, protecting your users:

You should also make it a bannable offense to edit other user's images with AI. Here's how I worded it in my server, feel free to copypaste:

Do not modify other people's images with AI under ANY circumstances, such as with the Discord "enhancement" features, amidst others. This is a bannable offense.

COMPLAIN TO DISCORD

There's few ways to go around this. First, you can go to https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/requests/new , select Help and Support -> Feedback/New Feature Request, and write your message, as seen in the screenshot below.

For the message, here's some points you can bring up:

Concerns about harassment (such as people using this feature to bully others)

Concerns about privacy (concerns on how External Apps may break privacy or handle the data in the images, and how it may break some legislations, such as GDPR)

Concerns about how this may impact minors (these features could be used with pictures of irl minors shared in servers, for deeply nefarious purposes)

BE VERY CLEAR about "I will refuse to buy Nitro and will cancel my subscription if this feature remains as it is", since they only care about fucking money

Word them as you'd like, add onto them as you need. They sometimes filter messages that are copypasted templates, so finding ways to word them on your own is helpful.

ADDING: You WILL NEED to reply to the mail you receive afterwards for the message to get sent to an actual human! Otherwise it won't reach anyone

UNSUSCRIBE FROM NITRO

This is what they care about the most. Unsuscribe from Nitro. Tell them why you unsuscribed on the way out. DO NOT GIVE THEM MONEY. They're a company. They take actions for profit. If these actions do not get them profit, they will need to backtrack. Mass-unsuscribing from WOTC's DnD beyond forced them to back down with the OGL, this works.

LEAVE A ONE-STAR REVIEW ON THE APP

This impacts their visibility on the App store. Write why are you leaving the one-star review too.

_

Regardless of your stance on AI, I think we can agree that having no way for users to opt out of these pictures is deeply concerning, specially when Discord is often used to share selfies. It's also a good time to remember internet privacy and safety- Maybe don't post your photos in big open public servers, if you don't want to risk people doing edits or modifications of them with AI (or any other way). Once it's posted, it's out of your control.

Anyways, please reblog for visibility- This is a deeply concerning topic!
