Reblogging for @startrekfangirl2233 in these times… her first hubby is on the wrong dash but I’ll send him her way

Oh my goodness, I cannot believe people are being so unbelievably nasty towards you!! It is so unwarranted and outta left field!! I hope they knock it off soon and you are still doing ok <3

Hey Sage, thank you for your kind words 🩵

Means a lot that other people are just as frustrated as I am about this bullshit. I won’t lie and say that I’m doing okay, because I’m not, it hurts so much that there are people out there who continue to accuse others without proof of doing something so awful to one of the writers in this community.

But I’ll make it through, I have to. Leaving now means that those hateful people win, and if I can just block them, I’m going to continue to do so.

ENTRY LEVEL MEANS NO EXPERIENCE. IT MEANS NO PORTFOLIO OF RELEVANT SAMPLES. ENTRY LEVEL IS ENTRY LEVEL

i'm sorry people are speculating about you and making accusations about you without proof. honestly they are being no better than the person who started this whole mess in the first place. going on a witch hunt like this can do a lot of harm and i hope they realize that.

Thank you 🩵

I honestly don’t know what I did to deserve this targeting, and I absolutely agree, making accusations without proof and targeting accounts are only going to make this so much worse.

I never thought I would rather have no one asking me questions/in my inbox than what’s currently happening. I had to shut my anons off because I was getting death threats all over something I played no part in, I’m losing followers (not many, but enough of them that it really hurts that people truly think I would do something so evil). This is how you tear a fandom apart when we really should be connecting and looking out for one another.

funny that you say you're innocent but you have certain people blocked ... 🤔

Nonny, I said all I wanted on the subject yesterday, but for the record, I have a lot of accounts blocked for a myriad of reasons. I don’t know which people you are talking about and I quite frankly don’t care if you believe me or not, because I know I didn’t do what you are accusing me of, without proof.

So instead of sending hateful speculative messages, you start uplifting this community that is fractured because of one person’s actions.

Be better than the person who caused this shit.

Cyclone: As some of you may know, I took a bit of a sabbatical last year.

Hangman: Do you mean you shacked up with a hairdresser but then she dumped you?

Mav: Jake, please! Raise your hand if you want to ask a question.

Hangman: *raises his hand*

Cyclone: Okay, I think we should move on.

Mav: The hairdresser certainly did.

I saw a reblog of the anonymous ask someone sent you about using character ai, and someone responded saying something about how it’s disgusting to even ask that, which is a liiiitle harsh, but I digress.

The issue here, is that there are more people who don’t understand what AI is doing than people who do understand.

ChatGPT, Open AI, Character AI, Gemini, etc ALL steal from published works on the internet. It cannot be prevented, no one can stop it from happening.

I’m not an artist & I don’t publish my writing, but I do genuinely care about the artists and writers who are having their work stolen and receiving absolutely zero credit.

Please, please, please, do not put someone’s work into AI.

If you want to create a character, or a storyline & use character ai, by all means, go for it. But PLEASE, don’t disrespect or disregard these artists by feeding their work into an AI. It completely diminishes all of the hard work they put into their art.

oh boy, nothing like having a post you made in fucking january suddenly gain a fuck ton of attention lmao.

while i understand where you're coming from, i think you completely missed the main point of my response to that anon.

1: i literally explained that ai steals work to that anon. i said it's a pale imitation of what a real human would write. that it takes works that people put so much effort into and regurgitates it out. i told them not to put stuff into ai. i informed them, and i wasn't rude about it either. emotional, maybe, but i wasn't being rude.

2: the main issue i had with that anon, besides the ai grossness, was the insinuation that i'm not "creating enough content" for them. "the readers can interact more with the characters" comment from them really grinds my gears. even if ai didn't steal from creators, and it wasn't a godawful abomination, them wanting me to put my ideas and works into something that they can interact with that isn't through me completely disregards the entire purpose of me having this blog in the first place. which i ALSO explained to them. why would i want to put my work into a 3rd party source and not interact with my followers when that's literally my favorite part of creating? bonding and talking about the shit i put effort into? i had every right to be upset about that, and so does every other writer.

3: i have no control how people reblog my posts. so idk why you're coming in my inbox about what someone else reblogged, really, just to tell me everything that i've already explained to that anon. i know who you're talking about too, because they're a mutual of mine, and honestly, i agree with them. it's disgusting to suggest someone should put something into a third party source so they don't have to wait for me to "churn out works" or whatever. i know people aren't well informed. which is why i informed them on that post and left it at that. i also explained why it's frustrating to receive asks like that, to hopefully prevent them from doing that again.

also, while i have whoever is reading this, i'd also like to mention that the anon who sent that ai ask sent a response back (that i didn't bother to respond to because i wasn't trying to make this a thing) somewhat apologizing and said they asked me that because other blogs on tumblr were doing it too. don't do that. don't assume that just because some people are doing x thing, that means you can suggest it to someone else. it's rude, and comparing blogs is just frustrating in itself.

anyway. i will not be making this a thing. do not come into my inbox debating the ethics of ai or whatever, as i will simply not entertain it. (:

I'm late in my usual fashion but I'm sorry the way people were treating you it isn't right❤️

Hey Pike 🩵

It’s all good, and your timing was perfect. I won’t rehash the statement I made earlier today, but death threats are never something to play around with. Especially not when none of us have any idea what even happened, it’s gross and horrible, and I wish everyone the best.

Thank you for checking in lovely, it’s greatly appreciated 🩵
