Quick break from the screenshot study to indulge in a meme—I couldn't resist another tribute to the Detroot Wakey Google Translate fiasco. These lines live rent free in my head.

The colours, the framing, the acting—this whole scene is on point. Easily one of my favourites along with, well, all the other ones I've drawn.

I had a lot of fun messing about with colours for this one, once it all started coming together. How many more of these am I going to do, you ask? Yes.

A message I needed to hear, especially said so matter-of-factly. I'm sure it resonates with many people for many different reasons, but this one is for my fellow aces out there.

Gavin 'Let's Antagonize My Partner Instead of Unpacking My Feelings' Reed. Nines has the patience of a saint but even he had some trouble here, I feel.

More Detroit, because I cannot be stopped. And I'm learning so much along the way.

[temmysilver]

The banter cracks me up every time, I swear.

Also, it was about time Chris Miller got some love in one of my drawings. Michael Smallwood brings such warmth to the character.

[temmysilver]

Poor Nines, all he wanted to do was help. He doesn't deserve this treatment, even if he doesn't need to breathe.

[temmysilver]

Let me be equal with vitriol man oil.

Detroot Wakey—a.k.a. Google Translate let loose on the script of Detroit Awakening—was a real trip with some memorable lines that'll forever remain part of my vocabulary 😂

[temmysilver]

Love, death, betrayal, conspiracy, some guy named Peter, what more could you ever want from a tween drama about four kids forced to go to boarding school??

Also bonus Smallwood:

Gavin "Who Cares About Height Differences When You've Got Coffee And Anger" Reed. And an Emotional Support Android to back you up, I guess.

I swear, the height difference gets me every time, but Reed just doesn't give a fuck.

Also, I traced some of the screenshot for Gavin's pose because that mouth in that perspective was not cooperating with me. Very happy with Nines, though. Neck craned like an angry swan.

[temmysilver]

If you haven't already, please go watch Detroot Evoot, a.k.a. the Google Translate rendition of Detroit Evolution. I cried so much laughing, I'm pretty sure I pulled a muscle. Zen Garden Gavin and his glitchy words of wisdom are now canon, as far as I'm concerned.

Reading the new checks that might come in due to the Online Safety Act in the UK and this is actually bullshit

[Image Transcript:

And how will I prove my age?

There’s a number of methods a site or app might use to ask you to confirm your age. They might do this check themselves or use another company to do the check. These methods include:

Facial age estimation – you show your face via photo or video, and technology analyses it to estimate your age. 

Open banking – you give permission for the age-check service to securely access information from your bank about whether you are over 18. The age-check service then confirms this with the site or app.

Digital identity services – these include digital identity wallets, which can securely store and share information which proves your age in a digital format.

Credit card age checks – you provide your credit card details and a payment processor checks if the card is valid. As you must be over 18 to obtain a credit card this shows you are over 18.

Email-based age estimation – you provide your email address, and technology analyses other online services where it has been used – such as banking or utility providers - to estimate your age.  

Mobile network operator age checks – you give your permission for an age-check service to confirm whether or not your mobile phone number has age filters applied to it. If there are no restrictions, this confirms you are over 18. 

Photo-ID matching – this is similar to a check when you show a document. For example, you upload an image of a document that shows your face and age, and an image of yourself at the same time – these are compared to confirm if the document is yours.

Not only is this such a fucking breach of privacy, but this is going to hurt adults in vulnerable and abusive situations. Some adults don’t have bank accounts or credit cards or even a fucking phone. I’m one of them. I could not give half of this information even if I wanted to. What the fuck is this. Fuck the UK government. This isn’t going to protect kids, this is just going to hurt adults, and I know full well when they say “sites that allow pornography” they’re going to be going after sites that have huge amounts of queer content, like tumblr and Ao3. Queer kids are gonna lose their fucking communities because of this shit. Abuse victims are going to lose online support systems because of this.

I’m genuinely fucked off about this, and worried about whether I’m going to lose every single one of my online friends. Anyone in the UK, please email your MP and sign this petition. It needs to reach 100k signatures to pass through Parliament.

I’m only hoping the backlash will be big enough for them to stop implementing these measures.

Gavin 'Resting Bitch Face' Reed remains one of my favourite versions of the man, along with Gavin 'Emotions—What Am I Supposed To Do With Those?' Reed and Gavin 'Who Needs Therapy If You Have Coffee And An Android' Reed.

Thanks @temmysilver and @synth-z, for indulging my obsession ❤️

The Drowned Halls

[temmysilver]

You are this force in my life that I can't live without. I don't wanna go back. I can't go back to being without you...

So I woke up with a mad vision in mind and, well, this happened.
