Donna seems to tackle Roy into a kiss 💋

Roy was happily tackled and laughed quietly. “Hey.”

[blue-wolfe]

Hello Blue-wolfe how did you make such a relatable character such as Sydney because I think it's really funny how me and Sydney both have similar body types, were both short, we have the same fashion taste when it comes to clothes and have a bad relationship with our mothers but now I found out Jedidiah and my best friend have the same birthday and has the same build as Jedidiah it's becoming more funnier now when I realize more details of Sydney that I did before I listened to camp here and there.

What I am learning is that I have not had a single unique experience in my life.

While Jason slept, John had been warding their apartment, making sure it was as protected as his own place. No one would get in unless Jason let them in. He had to keep his partner safe, he had to. And then he would deal with the fucking hunters.

@john-brendan-knowles

*Jason slowly woke up once John was done with the ward and sat up to rub at their eyes, unaware of the ward having been put up.* "I think everything is out of my sytem now."

Yknow in my experience I’ve actually never seen a Sansa fan off anon taking issue with brown Starks. I’ve only ever seen this from Arya fans who are hypersensitive about the notion that Arya’s skin might be a bit darker than Sansa’s and will say it’s racism to assume that because the Starks are described as plain and they’ll say you’re basically equating darker skin and being ugly. But like. If you have an issue with the Starks look being plain and the in-text implication that their skin is a bit darker than the Tullys, Take it up with George. We know there are issues with the racism in the text. Look at the Dothraki. Leave indigenous creators alone

Thank you! That’s my whole thing. The fact that the stansas hate anyone who implies Sansa is brown is because they want her to live up to the expectations of a Pretty White Girl that they lay out for her. They’re ignoring canon.

If you ask me, the whole point of making her white-passing and taking predominantly after her southron mother is narratively important. She’s passing. She’s pretty as southern standards go. She’s southern enough to have the privilege of being married to the future king, but still holds the weight of status from the North—which, let’s be honest, is a huge portion of subtext in the first book specifically. No rulers (targs) could get a foothold on power in the north. Marrying a Pretty, White Passing, Not-Savage-Looking maiden with substantial influence and power in her Northern roots would be huge politically for the Baratheons. Not to mention she was specifically targeted by Littlefinger for grooming because she looks so much like her mother.

Like this isn’t just about racism. It’s about picking and choosing parts of a character to consider important in your own personal opinions. These stansas that are so violently anti-“brown” Sansa are not engaging with the text, nor are they critically thinking. They’re worshipping a bastardized version of a character they made up in their own head.

Like even if you don’t ascribe to the idea that the Northmen are indigenous coded (that’s allowed!!!), you can’t ignore the fact that they are significantly culturally and aesthetically different to southron cultures like Lannisters from the Westerlands or Tyrells from the Reach canonically in book. And are treated and talked about as such. In the original text.

Take that up with George, as you said. 🫰🫰🫰👏👏👏

The fact that she doesn’t “look” as northern as some of her northern counterparts is canon and intentional. And I’m tired of pretending it’s not.

I don't want to sound rude, you may have already answered this question (if so, I'm sorry, I didn't find that answer), but I'm wondering why you're so against AI bots specificly. Obviously, this is a personal matter for everyone, but I'm a little confused by such harshness. Of course, I'm not going to prove anything to anyone, but I just wanted to understand the roots of your position. I really like your work, but to be honest, your last answers have thrown me into a kind of stupor :(

i have an ideological opposition against AI as a whole to be fair. a lot of it comes down to it's environmental impact

Globally, AI-related infrastructure may soon consume six times more water than Denmark, a country of 6 million, according to one estimate. That is a problem when a quarter of humanity already lacks access to clean water and sanitation.  

but i also believe it's inherently anti-human.

In a time when global literacy rates are diving (did you know that half of american adults read at a 6th grade level or below?) , I think it's incredibly short-sighted to be essentially surrendering your ability to write your own emails/essays/messages to an AI, when doing it yourself, despite what online contrarians will say, does have value (emails teach you how to communicate professionally, messages improve your social skills, essays improve your critical thinking skills). In this political landscape, it also feels dangerous to have your ability to read critically by yourself get dampened by AIs which are, at the end of the day, owned by silicon valley billionaires many of whom attended trump's inauguration, which is a good indication of where they lie politically.

Generative AI when it comes to art is also killing culture, removing opportunities for existing artists who are the ones who can extend the ceiling for human creation and helping society devalue art even more even though it's the only thing keeping us all sane. How would you feel if all you had in your life was just school or work, leaving out music, movies, tv shows, books, art? Doesn't art bring enough value to your life that it's worth properly compensating the people responsible for it? Why should we ever encourage or normalise throwing art into a meat grinder and feeding on the approximated soulless sludge it generates?

For AI chat bots, my beef with it is that it's an inherently anti-social product. All it does is remove the need to ever communicate with another person, which is horrible for people's brains. Some people are "falling in love" with their ai chatbot, some people are using their ai chatbots as therapists. The desire for real human connection is getting lost. An AI chatbot also makes RP obsolete, which is a foundational part of fandom which, i always feel like i need to remind people, is based on community. The point is to connect with people! I just fear that the popularisation and normalisation of this technology is going to end up with people shut in their homes their entire life, lost to whatever toxic pipeline their anti-social behaviour inevitably leads them down.

i know people love to play with AI like it's a fad, and it's "not that deep bro" but i think it's shameful and embarrassing to act as if you don't have agency in your life. You can choose to abstain from technology, you can choose to find entertainment elsewhere, you can choose to be a person independent of technology. If all AI went away tomorrow, would you be able to still do your job? Write a story? Read a book and understand its meaning? AI is a product built on instant gratification and entitlement - not to get too deep on an ask about AI chatbots, but i think art, relationships, culture, all of it is worth the journey to get there.

He’s sitting on a rooftop, sunsetting in the distance as Emery’s eyes watch his surroundings. He’s clearly looking for something. Someone.

@gotham-made-versipellis

He was in his Arsenal costume since a lot of people seemed to like it, hat on backwards despite a lot of people not liking it. Roy grinned when he saw Emery.

“Be honest, is this you?” he asked, motioning to him.

[blue-wolfe]

Hello! Are there any characters in the cast that you interpret to be acespec/aroace/any of that jazz?

No, not really! I'm not focused on the sexualities of characters whose relationships aren't narratively important. And I find implicit sexual experience to be really important to queerness I am exploring, as sex is very often not discussed within queer media and I want to discuss it.

[silliest-basilisk]

for the requests, could you please do an eepy/sick Hector? He needs a rest!!

i'm sorry anon we both know his ass ain't resting

(note: requests are now CLOSED, please don't send in any more!! just making my way through the backlog :])

[steelheart-redux]

To the PULSAR pilots: Is it a weird feeling at all when you’re piloting a body that isn’t yours? I imagine it would be strange, but it also looks so cool!

(Just binged the comic today coz I saw your recommendation post. It’s awesome, I love the concept and am excited to read more! <3)

(Thank you! Welcome aboard! ^^)

[stil-lindigo]

hi, i don't know if you've seen the statistics for the arab.org clicks but in the last quarter of 2023, they generated $380 for unrwa - not a huge amount in context of palestinians who need much more than that to leave gaza, but nobody had to donate those dollars. those were generated. and generally, they raise ~$100 per quarter, with most of it coming from their own bridging the gap of donations to make it worth it. i got curious and looked at the stats yesterday and just thought i'd point it out because i feel like people don't see the results of the "daily click" and maybe this would prove that it is actually well worth it. wishing you well <3

thank you anon, that’s a really amazing point!! here’s a reminder to do your daily clicks.
