Happy pride month lol

This is me and my girlfriend! It's my very first relationship and I am quite pathetic, so it's shocking to me that it's lasted for over a year thus far >< I wanted to draw us for today~

I used to do crayon chibi comms for $3 USD per chibi. I really enjoy drawing these haha, so if anyone is interested, I could draw you and/or a partner or a fictional couple or your OCs for pride month :0

oh this is a very direct callout toward me

(opening art commissions and working on covers and originals during my summer break while helping my parents move and having two summer jobs)

...perhaps I should listen to the wise tumblr anon for once

im so serious about this but if youre autistic and especially if youre chronically ill creative labour cannot be your only way to relax. working on a creative project is still working. take time to do nothing. its good for you i promise.

I came up with an idea for the future of the channel. Now there's a second poll asking what people's thoughts on it are. Again, go vote if you'd like!

Asking my YouTube subscribers what they want the future of my channel to be, go vote if you'd like

Something I don't think we talk enough about in discussions surrounding AI is the loss of perseverance.

I have a friend who works in education and he told me about how he was working with a small group of HS students to develop a new school sports chant. This was a very daunting task for the group, in large part because many had learning disabilities related to reading and writing, so coming up with a catchy, hard-hitting, probably rhyming, poetry-esque piece of collaborative writing felt like something outside of their skill range. But it wasn't! I knew that, he knew that, and he worked damn hard to convince the kids of that too. Even if the end result was terrible (by someone else's standards), we knew they had it in them to complete the piece and feel super proud of their creation.

Fast-forward a few days and he reports back that yes they have a chant now... but it's 99% AI. It was made by Chat-GPT. Once the kids realized they could just ask the bot to do the hard thing for them - and do it "better" than they (supposedly) ever could - that's the only route they were willing to take. It was either use Chat-GPT or don't do it at all. And I was just so devastated to hear this because Jesus Christ, struggling is important. Of course most 14-18 year olds aren't going to see the merit of that, let alone understand why that process (attempting something new and challenging) is more valuable than the end result (a "good" chant), but as adults we all have a responsibility to coach them through that messy process. Except that's become damn near impossible with an Instantly Do The Thing app in everyone's pocket. Yes, AI is fucking awful because of plagiarism and misinformation and the environmental impact, but it's also keeping people - particularly young people - from developing perseverance. It's not just important that you learn to write your own stuff because of intellectual agency, but because writing is hard and it's crucial that you learn how to persevere through doing hard things.

Write a shitty poem. Write an essay where half the textual 'evidence' doesn't track. Write an awkward as fuck email with an equally embarrassing typo. Every time you do you're not just developing that particular skill, you're also learning that you did something badly and the world didn't end. You can get through things! You can get through challenging things! Not everything in life has to be perfect but you know what? You'll only improve at the challenging stuff if you do a whole lot of it badly first. The ability to say, "I didn't think I could do that but I did it anyway. It's not great, but I did it," is SO IMPORTANT for developing confidence across the board, not just in these specific tasks.

Idk I'm just really worried about kids having to grow up in a world where (for a variety of reasons beyond just AI) they're not given the chance to struggle through new and challenging things like we used to.

1 week left to vote! ><

Yuri was approved for the UTAU Day showcase/contest! I'd really appreciate a vote for her if you like her, in either category!

I wasn't sure how to write a good description... I worry I messed it up because the other entries have more voicebank details, but Yuri has 15 voicebanks, so I didn't know how to summarize that ^^; oops

Tamarin! Voiced and Managed by joycesuuu!

Originally released September 11th, 2016; Tamarin's a hyper active, young tomboy.

TERRIBLE PAIN! Managed by @ponimado aka sammy oster! (presumably also provided the voice)

Originally released April 27th, 2022; it's a voicebank made entirely of samples of screaming. No, not like SAKEBIchan, Sakebi's screams were actual phonemes, even if a bit hard to tell. TERRIBLE PAIN is JUST random screams, not meant to sound like any specific phonemes, and in fact it's not otoed to follow phonemes, you get a list of screams numbered 1-92, and a few miscellaneous other noises, and that's how you make music with it.

TERRIBLE PAIN is a serenely happy person with a victim complex, simultaneously selfish and selfless. TERRIBLE PAIN is art.

Over the past few months, I've been making a lot of edits to Yuri's website! It was really difficult because Weebly has a lot of code that you can't overwrite easily, but I was able to change things like button colors and fonts.

★ This website is http://tamaki-yuri.weebly.com! ★

I also added optional, non-canon lore for each Yuri series/design~ I vaguely spoke about it on Twitter years ago, but I never got around to explaining most of it. Developing their characters was a passion project I did in high school!

There are new illustrations drawn by the lovely GUMI (lycheetako), and 3/5 have updated reference sheets! The other 2 are coming soon.

And lastly, the video showcases some old features on Yuri's website that may still be helpful!

I'm really proud of how the website looks and how much I've learned about HTML and CSS. I hope you enjoy! ><
