#its a bad algorithm.

How would you feel if someone made a chat bot of one of your characters like Aster or Vega

Like if someone wanted to roleplay some cute fluffiness with them

absolutely not

you do not have my permission, I do not consent to this, do not pass go, do not collect 200$, go straight to jail

you may not use my writing or art or creative ideas for chatbots/ai or the like, I couldn't care less if that would bring someone comfort

please for the love of god just ask me to doodle you something involving them instead, it's free and gives me motivation to keep going with the project.

this is a harsh response but please understand I'm going to be extremely protective of my creations that barely have finished works! aster assistant software is only a year old right now and I'm STILL working out the world they actually exist in!

I don’t know if the confessions about users that aren’t infoglitch are allowed but I have to vent this one, I promise it’ll be a polite it… I usually disagree with most RWDE confessions on this place, but Krypti makes me want to switch sides.

They say something I agree on but they say it in such a smug, condescending and insulting way it makes me reconsider it and say “maybe RWDE has a point” because if this is the people on my side It makes me think we might be the baddies.

Okay okay I dOn'T eNcOuRaGe ThEsE tYpEs Of ThInGs (volume 2) but I do kinda agree broski is smug af, like please

and I say this because obviously I get the activity notification when someone interacts with this blog and everytime they do its always just those type of comments. If this blog genuinely only upsets you and brings you need to get defensive like this, you can always blog me. I don't mind it, I encourage you to shape your own internet experience however you can (and good points of tumblr is that you don't have to accept algorithm feeding you shit!)

Everyone is entitled to their opinion but like, if you never send anything without anon and its always this same old Krypti type of stuff, never talk about things you like or "teehee I like this character!" or "I like these ones holding hands!!" or bounce off from others ideas and add your own, you know it's just... Why are you here? You don't like it here, you might get a rush from getting mad or getting into internet fights but you know no one is forcing you? You can seek other things and blogs?

I've had it with tiktokers using weak-ass euphemisms like "schmex" and "corn". Please don't baby talk me.

(To the tune of Monty Python's unalived parrot sketch): They're not having "schmex", they're having intimate relations! They are consummating their relationship! They are having intercourse! They sleep together! They know each other biblically! They're bedmates, they're making love! They're getting down, busy, laid, it on, jiggy and lucky. They're hooking up, rooting and fornicating. They're producing adult entertainment, they're making not-safe-for-work material, they've made a blue movie, and this is an adult conversation!

fr tho @staff why are you trying to make tumblr more like other sites why are you destroying your niche in the market please there have got to be ways to make tumblr more accessible to new users without sacrificing the very things that your existing userbase loves

Kyoichi in a more classic traditional vampire outfit! Alas, I'm still not entirely certain whether this was what was meant by a "vampire tuxedo" or not.

But I hope that this comes close to what @ishibo actually had in mind when asking for a Kyoichi in a vampire outfit! 🧛‍♂️

i love your bard! riz au so much. he is so tragic as a character for all the reasons of what living in constant danger fear does to your mind. can i ask about his relationship with the other bad kids and the major differences vs canon?

hey I'm glad ur enjoying what's goin on here! I don't have a Lot of it clear in my mind yet bc it is a full class swap of the entire party so some stuff will just. not play out until they do yknow? it is how it is. but I think from the beginning riz's motivation is decently different so he'll just get into it on an entirely different path - he did Not start out a very kind kid. he would be extremely conflict avoidant, he's got the Actor feat, he's stocked up on Disguise Self, he's ready to disappear mid-conversation, anyone who looks like troubles he's steering Clear of. he goes to aguefort not because he wants to be an adventurer but because sklonda was like "this works for you?" and he was like "yeah 's all good :]" (he is about to throw up bc that's where penny went missing)

I'd say he runs into fabian (rogue) first very briefly and they'd mutually be like oh. a guy. and immediately forget each other once they get out of the same like locked classroom they accidentally both hid in. and then during the corn cutie fight fabian would see the way riz react and Not Like It (haha whoa. like looking in a mirror amirite) and go actually I'd rather be a hero (derogatory) than whatever that is that guy's got going on. great surprise for him when they got out and registration's closed and the mirror is now one of his partners in the career-long group project :]

kristen (sorcerer) would be an Insane encounter at first for riz like this is someone who is extremely powerful, not very controlled, and so fucking starved for people to be nice at. riz is cordial to her on the way and she is like Fuck Yeah Friend! please go do paperwork with me I don't know shit from fuck I haven't had proper paperwork since I was like twelve and gay. do you like candies? she then throws ragh through a window for trying to bully gorgug and netting her and gorgug the detention (riz is of course immediately someone else while this is happening) (he shows up again right after like haha sorry that was scary! resolutely not looking at how kristen's face falls at the idea of someone being scared of her again)

riz and gorgug (cleric) get on like house on fire at first in the sense that they're at that point both fake bitches and they know this about each other and acknowledge this with each other implicitly and they're like I'm not poking at what's going on with you if you don't poke at what's going on with me. and then gorgug dies and sees that the god he's been feeding his anger to isn't real (yet) and has his realization that he's been indoctrinated into a cult through the support group he's been to and starts on deprogramming and in that process he starts poking at riz's deal just by proxy of dealing with his own. riz gets vicious about this a bit into it but after the arcade he kinda comes around again. it helps that at the end of sophomore year gorgug becomes the saint of the Inbetween and riz is very much in need of that stop on his way right then

fig (barbarian) on the other hand does Not like riz off the bat (her whole thing is leaning into rage to live her truth without fear) but then being as perceptive as she is soon she's like ohhhh you're just scared. like Really scared and it's ruining your life. and after that she's like I'll just protect you then :] (this is her solution to most things her friends go through) this does not help at first bc riz has picked up the pattern that is if you're protective of him bad things will happen to you. he will have a breakdown about this in sophomore year but it'll get better from there

adaine (artificer) on the Other other hand just straight up doesn't like riz until after the arcade lol. he's on the prep side, he's not socially awkward and he doesn't use that power for anything but being a coward, he lets biz talk at him in the AV club and that means biz never stops fucking talking, and every time adaine raises a complaint all he does is being like "sorry :[" and changing nothing. it's fucked up between them riz tries to appease her by doing nice things but he doesn't address the things she actually complains about so she doesn't take it. she's the person who outright calls him out for not having the backbone to stand up for himself or his party. despite this she never thinks of throwing him out of the party and he does pick up on this. they get better after the arcade and riz apologizing and by junior year adaine's the one handling the tech end of riz's freelance publication

all of this is subjected to change of course I'm mostly keeping things mobile that's where all the fun is hehe. the world is constantly in motion etc but this is kinda how I'm coming into my art atm we'll simply see!

"i'm making a thread comparing daenerys targaryen and cleopatra to show how amazing dany is" well which is it, do you wanna show how amazing she is or compare her to cleopatra, because doing the latter is not the slay you think it is

[anti-rop]

how can you champion free speech and then celebrate when millions of voices on tiktok are censored. hypocrite.

I didn’t want to talk about politics on this blog but, oh well, here we go. Response under the cut.

Let me preface this: I’ve never been a fan of TikTok and when talk of a ban first started to come onto the scene 6 years ago, I thought it was a good thing, for a multitude of reasons but I won't go into all of it. I'll focus on what the proposed ban and SCOTUS corresponded to. This is a topic of US national security and the type of precedents it sets for foreign companies operating in the US. I thought it would be good to act now [2019] rather than later [2025] because looking at the growth curve, it was a service that would easily become so popular that lawmakers would find themselves in an impossible position and a ban would never happen. 

Unfortunately, that’s exactly what’s happened. Again, in my opinion, now a horrible precedent exists. To any foreign government out there, the message is that you are allowed to enter US markets under any pretense, with zero reciprocity for US companies, and as long as you are popular and influential enough the US government and population will go out of its way to facilitate your access

If we are going to go to such extraordinary lengths for a foreign company and government the US must make a demand of absolute reciprocity, in my opinion. Meta, X, Google, Snapchat, and other US-based technology companies must be allowed total market access in China immediately with zero control by the Chinese Government (because that is what they have done through ByteDance owning Tiktok). When the Chinese government inevitably laughs at this demand, ask yourself why. They correctly see Meta, X, Facebook, and Google as instruments of US soft power and as cultural contamination of their civic ideal which undermines their hold on power.

However, we seem to naively believe we're immune from the same influence and have waited so long to act now that we face terrible choices. The one we've made inevitably means we will have a natural experiment now of what it means to allow a government that actively seeks to undermine our civic institutions with the most powerful known technological tool to do so. And the fact that the CCP and ByteDance decided to “shut it down” rather than divest it tells us everything we need to know. No free enterprise would willingly shut off access to 170 million users. 

Also, we should be concerned that millions of Americans acted like drug addicts going through withdrawal when they couldn't access a social media app for roughly 12 hours. That is also cause for great concern. But that's a conversation for another day.
