I'd been enjoying Age of Umbra so far, but Laura and Liam really brought the sauce for this group. The addition of their characters really snapped all of the elements into place for me, both in just further anchoring the setting and vibes, as well as providing a great contrast to the existing characters in just how truly unsettling and weird they are in a way that really highlights their different personalities because of their reactions to them. There's now some grit in the dynamics that make things extra interesting and extra juicy, and I'm extra locked in now and curious to see how the rest of this shorter story will go.

A mod for tech that thr Jones boys might end up inventing(?) Is 'RT Solar Flare Shields' (And possibly RT Fuses to soak the Zzzzts!) I could see them developing the solar flare shield as a gift for Al so he doesn't deactivate everytime there's a glare.

Thank you for sharing your stories and art with us, I love these two misanthropic goobers. (And look forward to their family showing up eventually! I'm sure the reveal that the boys have been living on nutrient paste for however many years will be... interesting if any of the fam are culinaryily inclined XD)

Ooh, that does seem like something the Jones boys would invent for their android buddy!! Thank you for the excellent suggestion!

I'm so glad people are enjoying the story, and I hope you all continue to enjoy it. The Archonexus ending is aaages away, so we'll have these two misanthropic goobers hanging around for a while.

Funnily enough, Mechi's mum/mom/ma Squashbug has a burning passion for cooking and is something around level ten in cooking ability, along with the gourmand trait. I'm sure she'll have some very harsh words for her son and his newly discovered twin (and triplet, if we ever resurrect Lansa) once she makes it to Sparks.

Yamka and Lapu are probably putting up with a lot of fretting from her as they search the planet—she also has the neurotic trait, so she's especially anxious about her baby.

bonus drawing of baby Mechi helping his mama in the kitchen because I thought it'd be cute to draw ❤️

Books of 2025: BLACKFISH CITY by Sam J. Miller.

Finished this last night! The jacket copy starts, "When a strange new visitor arrives in a floating city in the Arctic--humanity's last hope after the ravage of climate change--the city is entranced. She's riding an orca and has a polar bear at her beck and call," and, honestly, I'm sold (love a good floating city!).

I adored the setting and the worldbuilding--supremely cool city that was thoughtfully developed--and I loved how the narrative came together at the end. All the POV characters felt distinct (thank heck, because there were Many of them), and I had a fun time figuring out how to piece all the relationships together and percolating on The Science. Overall had a great time!

“You remind me of someone.” her voice was contemplative.

“I do?” she could hear him quirk his eyebrow.

“Yeah.” her voice was unusually quiet.

“Is that good or bad?” he gave a nervous laugh and leaned back watching her.

Dani sighed looking down at the city below them. She didn't quite know. She’d found him but he didn't recognize her.

I gotta be honest as a multi shipper I am incapable of taking any one interpretation of the story seriously, especially since it’s a comedy anyways. Saiai terusai satousai satouhii is all truth and I don’t make the rules. it’s all fake and theres a good argument to be made for many of them and the ones that there isn’t? just about as likely as happening considering Saiki k is a completed gag series

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

It’s What’s Inside is a solid 4.5/5 for me because I actually didn’t play Cookie Run during it and I took out a piece of paper to write notes. - .5 for being mean to Brooke.
