Lunch @ Rimi: LUNCH!!!! (Translation: Wait! Who came in first on Light of Unova? Would you ever try to get first place again?)

As Rimi enters the studio bar, she met with familiar Zapdos and...

Goodness, Lunch! Hiiii! How's it goin'? Anything to share with good ol' Rimi?

It seems she heard his "LUNCH!", however via unknown force, the words are being translated into her head.

Light of Unova? I mean who won? Oh, I tell ya the final three. Also, there was a special guest here.

First place goes to Inaris, a mysterious Mew. She sang a very sad song about her lost child. Also soz for the silly photo, cause I copied the wrong one, oops. Second is me performin'. Third is an unusual Umbreon Solstice who was rumored to be with a human Trainer (maybe she's from different universe, hehe). And of course the special guest - Snow, a Vulpix that rumored to be an AI, but she sings not worse than actual AI. Also, something familiar behind her on screen, hmm... After Inari wins, she gave winning gifts (including the Virbank Stage) and gave them to me. We haven't talked after the final as she disappeared without a trace, but she left a note: "It's all yours..."

I hope one day I say "thank you" to her... Though I saw my friends talked to her, like with Wil recently...

I think I would mind tryin' to participate again since I've a band and a great success.

(@ask-the-shiny-pokemons) Wil @ Bingo: "Wow, I have never saw an Eevee like this..." He excitedly smiles. "Anyway why are you rainbow?"

I guess it was the way I was born? Or maybe it’s because of where I was born??

Or MAYBE… It’s because I’m part of some super top secret prophecy! Nah. It’s just because I’m cute :3c

greedentstripes asked

(Nick to Zamazenta) "Your partner is belittling my partner. Can you tell them off? I came here to have fun, not see me nor my friend treated like a bag of potting soil." Nick is clearly not happy with Zacian's actions.

The small smile that Atrigul had on their face for most of the gala so far quickly fell as Nick told them what their partner had done. “Oh my- just- ugh,” the Zamazenta tilted her head up to the ceiling, rubbing her eyes with her outstretched palms. “I’m so sorry about them… they’re not exactly framiliar with the concept of thinking before they speak…” She took a few deep breaths before turning to the Zacian, who was walking back after taking a swig of a now empty champagne glass from the refreshment table. “Athalia,” Atrigul said quietly but sternly, placing their hands on their hips. “These two lovely Pokemon told me that you were quite rude to them.”

“Didn’t the host give feral riffraf rings to give them a human form?” Athalia continued, looking at his nails in a bored fashion. “I’m just saying I’m shocked to see that some didn’t follow the dress code. It’s not my fault that they took it too har-“

“Apologize,” Atrigul growled, her fists clenched as tight as her teeth. “NOW.”

“…Fine,” Athalia sighed, crossing their arms. “I’m sorry. Happy now?”

Snow@Turo The AI looked at the human with interest, “So you want to build a time machine? I can’t help but be very excited at something like that! Oh how time travel would change everything we know about the universe, it makes me so excited to think about!” She was bouncing up and down with glee at this point, “While it’s all theoretical currently, it’s definitely something I would love to see happen or even be a part of!”

Turo: They seem to be very growly rn don’t mind them

Snow@Darkrai The AI looked at the Darkrai, slightly concerned, “You seem a bit nervous, is there anything you plan to do here?” She asked

Darkrai looked over at her for a moment. “I do not particularly enjoy crowds.” He muttered, going back to watching them.

“It’s a music festival, I was planing on listening to the others play.” He didn’t seem very inclined to move closer to the actual music.

(Previously)

Warning: This post contains bullying topic.

Wil follows Linda, where she quickly walks to the gazebo. He sees Linda’s face, broken, lost of hope.

“Linda? Hey, how did you…?”

“Stop… Ya see, I’m not in the mood right now. I yelled at the guests. And they…they…*sob*” She cries a lot of tears. Some voices are playing in her head.

“Meanie!” “Look at the mirror! You’re ugly!” “Normal Zorua is better than you” “You’re not belong here!”

“I…I don’t belong here… Every time I talk to people, there’s always dumb questions, so I decide to yell… This memory… I still can’t forget it…” Linda remembers her time at school where some students bullied her.

“It’s not your fault that happened, it’s that bully memory that changed you completely. You need to always apologize for what you did wrong. Be kind, be strong, be yourself.” Wil said this with determination.

Linda is unsure how she’s gonna hold this with the apologies cause she didn't apologize after the previous conflicts (including the one particular event), but she accepts Wil’s proposition. After that she returns inside and sees upset Snow and Nick.

“Hey, you can still hate me, but I did the wrong thing when I yelled at you. I’m so sorry, it’s really wrong to do that… I need to be more softer when answering some questions, but when I do that…it’s…wrong. I hope you can understand.” She says kindly with a soft smile on her face.

And she needs to wait for the response. Do they accept the apology or do they still ignore her?

"Yes, I can. Go talk to them on the solstice."

"You misjudge Lucky. That would be a fatal mistake on your part. But then, you did not see his soul, nor his previous lives. Makes sense that you wouldn't understand a thing about him."

"Anomaly? You're odd to say such things. I am no anomaly. Maybe to you, I suppose. But I am just me. A leader doing my job."

"The only thing I resemble with Mew is a similar body style and similar size. I am bigger than a Mew, and my skill set is the complete opposite of one of those. If anything, I am the Universe's mythical Pokémon, in a way you'd understand."

"Otherwise, I am as you say. The Goddess of Spirits, even if the 'God' part is not yet official, it makes no difference in the end. I'm strong enough as I am."

"Er, no. Soul Matter, that is to say, the energy that Souls are created from, was created at the dawn of the Universe along with matter and antimatter. So, just as the Universe was born, so were billions and trillions of Souls."

"As you have understood from me - Souls can also be destroyed through the Red and Black Gates. Also, I can destroy a soul if I so felt like it. But, that is not my job. As it stands, Soul Matter will eventually run out in the Universe as everything falls to darkness, until the next Big Bang."

"So, to answer your question - yes. New souls are born sometimes. You've already met the holder of a brand new soul: Savel."

"Heh. You're funny. You're mistaken on one thing. I didn't see the Beholders reincarnate on Earth..."

"... but it was I who sent them through the green gate, at their request."

"... 'Sempai', the Kantonian word for 'teacher' or 'respected elder.' I don't mind it, though you should ask permission before calling someone such. I shall digress on this occasion, but I recommend asking in future."

"The best way to learn how to reap souls is to become mortal. The lifespan I have as an immortal was not always as is - I was once mortal, and before that, I was a spirit myself."

"I was born unto the world, as a mortal Mingle, and lived as one for 2 billion years. I suppose I wasn't exactly 'mortal' if I kept coming back, but alas, I had to deal with everything a mortal also has to. I had to survive. I had to feed myself. I had to live among society. I had to endure wars. I had to learn how to live amongst those whom I would someday judge. In that time, I had left my post in the hands of another."

"20 years is barely enough time to scrape the surface of mortality, let alone the position you find yourself in. I worry for the state of your Universe in that sense, yet I suspect if it is as unstable as you say. Therefore, I would suggest forming allies among the spirit world. Make a reaper corporation. Those that show neutrality. Those that can judge fairly and without bias."

"I wish you luck, strange one."

"It doesn't really matter how you came into existence. All lifeforms have the same basic physiology: A mortal coil, and a soul. Your kind have souls, for I've dealt with one of you in the past."

"While I don't know your lifespan as you do not exist in my home universe, however, you will live and die the same way as any other mortal."

"Hmm, a mortal tasked with the role of a reaper? It's not uncommon. Most of the reapers in my corps were once mortal, but are now mid to high ranking spirits. In any case, I won't answer your question because there is no point."

"Your universe is your universe. My universe is my universe. My advice to you would be to investigate it yourself."

"Simple. It was similar enough to Lucky's current body that wouldn't cause excessive discomfort, and also would live long enough for him to carry out his punishment."

i think also a huge part of why artists majorly refuse machine-learning (bc that’s what it is, i refuse to call it ai bc it’s inaccurate and gives tech bros too much credit) is that the people currently championing and developing those tools actively want it to replace artists. They loudly and proudly hate the arts and want every creative professional put out of work. They want every creative HOBBYIST to give up. I have seen machine-learning art generators call us artoids (like ‘femoids’ incels or unhealthily online misogynists use to refer to women. To give you the idea of the kind of hate-fueled superiority we’re dealing with) and circle-jerk to the idea of art no longer being a career and no one being able to ask for commissions anymore.

Machine-learning tools are currently a symbol of people who see creativity and art as an enemy, a boogeyman to be slain. They are designed accordingly - stealing human work to create the data, designing it so that people can generate ‘sketches’ or ‘doodles’ to deceive the layman that it was hand-drawn, using real-world likenesses without consent, etc. When tech bros get tired of weaponizing machine-learning because they think we need to get ‘real jobs’ or that furry porn artists charge too much for comms and need to be stopped, it will probably be a lot easier for artists to embrace it as it’ll be a lot easier to develop ethical tools. On top of making development easier, it could become a great tool to make the visual arts accessible for people that have disabilities affecting drawing ability. It could be a wonderful technology.

But as it stands we’re not there yet.

WHATTTT.... ARTOIDS 💀.............................. that is THE most cringe fucking word ever im gonna start calling them fucking inceloids or something

Arent these the people who also have hentai addictions and collect all sorts of images of anime women breasting boobily? Do they think before AI that those images just popped up from the aether? They should also get real jobs that arent living in their moms basements and being a hateful little bitch

It's kind of hilarious that they think machine learning models will be the the end of art though. As if art hasnt been a core human function from prehistoric age and as if it hasnt survived hundreds of purges, demonizations, and attempts to erase certain styles and movements and people. We're going to prevail no matter what and they can die mad about it

Snow@Vekpa The AI looked up at tge towering legend before her, “From what I can tell, you are the legend known of solgaleo, embodiment of the sun, Now, I’m going to ask an important question… WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU DOING ON EARTH!!!!” She asked (Sorry, I really wanted to send a vaguely shitposty ask)

…

I CAN’T ANSWER THAT…

I’M TOO BUSY having an EXISTENTIAL CRISIS.

Snow@Turo The AI chuckles a bit at the messy dorm room, "I admit, this isn't as bad as the junkyard I stay in! That place is a mess, but personally, I enjoy it!"

It should be said that Huion isn't perfect either - they're currently hosting AI classes and using students to train AI to steal artists' works.

Damn… we really can’t have anything as an artist can we…
