More modern au because I've been thinking about it a little bit. Read more under the cut if you want.

Conne has a boring 9-5 office job.

In his spare time he does wildlife photography. He runs an account "Crows of Baldur's Gate" on Faerûn's #1 social media app (his following count doesn't exceed past 200).

Because his brother is also a musician in this au, he sometimes takes photos during his gigs.

Shadowheart works at an animal shelter.

Scratch is her dog.

Faust in this au is a rescue bird that cannot be released into the wild.

Astarion works at Cazador's law firm. Their biggest client is the world's most evil corporation - Iron Throne (CEO Elon Musk Enver Gortash).

Black Butler Amino, Black Arts Magazine - Holiday Party

it doesn't quite look like a holiday party from here, but what I imagined as a humble little piece is~~ Ciel and Lizzy sneak away from the big bustling midford Christmas party and raid the kitchen desserts, like they did when they were kids(it was Lizzy's idea, Ciel clearly hasn't been himself since he returned, and she wanted to bring him back).

“people will literally spend their lives wandering the jianghu instead of getting therapy” and for some people it works!! sometimes traveling freely and living by the sword really does fix them. you shouldn’t let the countless husks of heroes dying meaningless deaths by the wayside distract you from the possibility that it might work for you

Fortunately, Unfortunately

                I recently shared my first 30 pages with my writing mentor, and now I’m telling you all the advice she gave me (this is part 4! Part 1 is here, 2 here, and 3 here.)

                One big misstep of how my plot gets into motion at the beginning is what she called “a series of random events.” They were plot points that happened next to each other, but otherwise didn’t impact each other. They were dominoes spaced too far apart.

                She wanted me to tighten up the plot so that from the very first moment, everything impacts everything else. From the first push, each domino falls in tandem.

                The exercise she used to teach us when she was mentoring me as a kid was called “fortunately, unfortunately.” It’s made to help you answer how each plot point leads into the next. It looks like this:

                Unfortunately, Character A gets a note from their estranged uncle inviting them to his mansion for the summer. (inciting incident)

                Fortunately, they’re allowed to bring a friend with them!

                Unfortunately, when they get there, the uncle screams that the friend is possessed.

                Fortunately, they’re both allowed to stay anyway.

                Unfortunately, that night, Character A catches their friend sleepwalking as they build an altar to some unknown god.

                Etc. Etc.

                From the very first domino (the inciting incident) in which the world pushes at the character, everything else falls in place afterwards. This allows you to maintain momentum throughout your novel, and hooks your reader from point to point.

                Good luck!

Is there even a site left to post art? Seriously here i really like posting my artwork and creating a safe community why this app decides to follow down the rabbit hole of A! and ruin everything?

I want to be more hopeful that it won't last and get sued those who illegally use our pieces. :/

i think anything being posted publicly (bar perhaps on very niche places no one else will find u either) is probably getting scraped, which is supported by the kind of weak 'We Will Try To Stop Unauthorized Data Trawlers' lines we get fed - even sites that have explicit anti-AI stances like Pillowfort can't promise that ur images are fully protected

i'd assume paywalled sites like patreon/subscribestar offer a smidge of protection just bc the ai people don't want income to flow anywhere else than their own pockets? as for lawsuits, ye, i hope they tread on the toes of some other shitty corporation with an interest in protecting their intellectual property since they have the $ to throw at this problem

when all the platforms we post to are owned by corporations that are only interested in shortsighted financial gain/dont need to respect their userbase, this type of behaviour is to be expected... as i mentioned previously though, i have hope that the bubble will burst like it did w/ nfts, that people will realize theyre swallowing shit and it turns out not to be as profitable as the profiteers hoped (at which point theyll turn to the next exploitative grift)

The funniest thing about my transition is slowly becoming even more of a spitting image of my dad. It sometimes makes me double-take in the mirror because I look like my dad if he were cooler

[thenwhatthefukcisthis]

dominic cobb planning a heist to infiltrate the mind of a tycoons son in order to help another tycoon gain world dominance all while hanging precariously in thousands of feet up in the air risking his and everyone else’s sanity to be able to go home to his kids is NOTHING when you realise that eames did all that and some more, just to see his ex.
