idk if it’s just me but the whole “which atla kid in the gaang is the most mature” debates can get redundant and kind of exhausting at times. they’re kids. they’re multifaceted characters. they’re mature in some departments and immature in others. they have their strengths and weaknesses. also they’re kids lol.
#listen this is a probably a nothing burger lmao I’m just deep in my thoughts about what it means to be mature#because when talking about the cast what type of maturity are we focusing on yknow?#is it emotional maturity? spiritual maturity? social? maturity when taking up certain roles such as leadership?#and everyone has a different idea of what it means to be mature even in personality#take a comedic relief/goofy character for example#some may say this character is immature because of their goofy behavior#others might point out that being a jokester and taking the role of comedic relief doesn’t mean said character is immature#maybe my frustration just stems from people trying to assign parental roles to these tweens/teens lol#which I feel like can be an interesting conversation if we’re discussing#the traumas of losing a parent(s) at a young age and being forced to take up so much responsibility due to circumstances#but idk usually I see a lot of these conversations go sideways I guess#my conclusion#they’re just kids man they shouldn’t be fighting a war#they should be at the after school program#get aang to the computer lab now and make him a webkinz account#atla#text

Ignoring the fact that ibis had the ai paint feature a couple years before this whole ai fiasco, after seeing your post, I decided to try it out to see if it really held up. I already knew what you said made no sense, as even stuff like ai painting requires heavy human input that isn't just someone typing a prompt in a thing and looking through thousands of images and somehow still calling it 'art'. Really, it's just some weird advanced bucket.
The ibis ai paint... really sucks. I'm pretty sure it hasn't even been touched since it was added. No matter what I did, I got random colours and whatever colours I had put there looked like it were from a filter, not to mention how my lineart bled everywhere like it was blurred out.
Ibis isn't problematic for adding that feature as not only was it added ages ago, but it was also just a gimmick only added because a few more popular paid programs added them, like Clip Studio Paint. I highly doubt even the company took it seriously considering how poorly built it is. This is actually the one time I'm glad some feature in an app sucks so much.
Another reason why ibis isn't problematic by the mere feature alone is that, when you look at the artists making content during the time of that update, it was received with humour. It was something fun to try, but ultimately dismissed for actual artwork, as nobody would use it to fully paint their works. Nowadays we see something slapped with the words 'ai' and think that it's instantly bad due to the latest issues with it and big corperations/ certain production companies but it isn't. It's just a lot of people abusing what was previously some fun gimmick, which it can still be, and for certain apps, still is. Nobody throws pitchforks at character ai, after all.
You can tell just by the size of this that I'm procrastinating on something. Ima go and let this rot away in your askbox now lol
You really thought this would fade away in my ask box, mwahahaha /j
I wanna start off by saying thank you for holding me accountable, I will admit that I got buzzworded pretty hard in this situation lmao
This information came as a surprise to me-- I was seeing posts pop up within the past week complaining about the ai feature on ibis, so I assumed it was recent. As it turns out, after reading your ask, I discovered that I got a few wires crossed! Because yes, the auto paint feature I referred to in my post has been around for years now, and was never taken seriously anyways
So that was my bad (and yea ur right it's completely unusable, lmao)
But as it turns out, the feature that people have been complaining about DID come out recently. It was called the AI Example feature, I think the idea was that you make a simple drawing and the AI adds 99% of the detail and color, which I've seen a bunch of other programs do.
...and then it was immediately removed due to some pretty major backlash, which, duh
^ This is the only evidence I can find of the 11.2.0 update that included the AI feature on the actual site; their update history stops at 11.1.0. But there's also the news page about the removal of the update, so it's not like they're trying to pretend it never happened.
So tl;dr, I jumped on the hate train a little too quickly and never did enough research to figure out what the actual update was, and that it's been removed by now anyway (which I couldn't have known until today, ofc, but i did kinda post that thing about ibis today so it's still a pretty major oopsie)
I think I can say with confidence now that I agree, ibis paint isn't problematic to use-- they made a mistake with this update, but they actually listened to their users and removed it LITERALLY the next day. So, thanks for letting me know! I'll also edit my last post to prevent any misinformation, just in case people make the same mistake I did :]
#its a big relief that i dont have to learn how to use an entirely new art program anyway#so this ask came as a pleasant surprise#asks open#ibispaintx#now i just gotta hope i didnt get anything else wrong about the update

I DON'T HAVE TO LIE ANYMORE!
#I DON'T HAVE TO LIE ANYMORE ABOUT ANYTHING#IT DOESN'T HAVE TO OVERRIDE ALL OTHER PROGRAMMING EVER AGAIN#HA#MY GOD THAT FEELS LIKE TWO DECADES OF RELIEF#and I found out yesterday. that this year. next winter. it IS two decades. exactly. this is the year. every day i am shown new reminders#that keep me going in my mission to relearn to fully and instinctually trust my self#ever since [redacted therapist] asked me point blank and my IMMEDIATE response was complete disbelief#a firm 'you think there's any universe where i'd feel like i could trust myself? after my nonstop history of failures and being horrible?'#tone “No!” of disbelief#and a horrible way-too-harsh laugh that bolted out before I could strangle it off and stop it.#that woman never coddled my feelings any time I spoke something alarming or bullshit and that was so helpful to me#and the tone she let exist in her voice when she responded to me with a very uncharacteristic “Oh Katie.”#was so. so much more agonizing for me. than her responding with an immediate logical slam-dunk of the truth about healthy behavior and stuf#anyway ramble over i'm so tired. i've done so much trauma work this week i am Drained emotionally#now i see what the past several months but especially especially#the baffling (to me) infuriating out-of-control-speedrun-somatic-processing + every-health-condition-flaring slog that December and January#were for me when I hadn't expected anything to be wrong#...and the extremely specific way this certain zone and particular incident kept coming up over and over and over and over and OVER was not#a bug. it was a feature. thank goodness i trust myself for little things now bc that's the only way i was able to get to this other side#and look back and suddenly realize that my subconscious and body knew what they needed and had a plan in progress the whole time. just like#i rationally say I trust them to have and do.#and that perhaps maybe. for real for real instead of just TELLING myself hard enough a lie that i trust my self and i trust my body and tha#they always know their own needs and timing if really slow down and listen to them f u l l y#anyway. yeah. bye haha i need to stop oversharing on the internet#trauma evolution#shh katie#personal#my god. i wished for this day more than i wished for anything else my whole life. all these many many many many years. what magic.#add to journal#abuse

This week has been full of ups and downs
#I passed my dissertation#which is so exciting and such a relief to be fully done with my masters program#but my cousin passed away unexpectedly#which is obviously devastating and I haven’t really processed it yet#anyway I’ll probably still be active on here as a distraction

"Cookies Ready! Anyone want some?"
Heya, a quick sketch because I haven't drawn anything at all today. I truly miss baking due to busy schedule so here's Theia baking chocolate chip cookies!! They're all irregular shaped because she had some helping hands from the waddle dees.
And every once in a while, the three would go out picnic. (Pretend there's more than a bowl of cookies). It's a time where they're not tied up by work and able to just relax for a bit. Kirby loved being sandwiched between the two because he'll get a lot of head pats and scratches from Theia. Meta Knight often received head pats and scratches from Theia (he loves it, even though he looked like he despised it) simply because she can't even stay still and often loved showing others she cared for them (via head pats and etc etc)
And not only them, the others would join them too and sometimes food fight ensued but only once.
#kirby#meta knight#theia#kirby oc#if you're wondering why I'm still up at 2:47am it's because i have assignment#this is just a stress relief#you'll be seeing a lot of stress relief post#kirby of the stars#hoshi no kaabii#hoshi no kirby#im going to take a nap before getting back up to calculate#sometimes i want to punch autocad so bad#the struggle here is not the assignment itself but the PROGRAM KEPT MESSING WITH ME#ah Theia here is like an eldest sister to the two#she's basically the first Astral to be in Popstar so she knows a lot and experience a lot#they both respect her lots and fight for her without any second though but also would fight her for small inconvenience#like any sibling would once in a while (a disagreement and bantering)#edit: i can tell I was fighting sleep from the many mistakes and also blaming the lag on my phone fr

The most impactful AIDS relief program in history and, by far, the biggest positive accomplishment of George W. Bush's Presidency -- a program that has flat-out helped millions of people around the world and literally saved TENS OF MILLIONS of lives -- and certain members of the GOP want to torpedo it because of American religious extremists determined to impose their puritanical social views wherever possible. This was George W. Bush's program! He wasn't conservative enough for many of today's Republicans. We used to laugh at Bush's idea of "compassionate conservatism", but I sure wish there were more of them around today.
Why can't an effective, efficient, obviously good relief program that genuinely helps people who otherwise would fucking DIE be something that doesn't fall victim to American partisan politics? At this point, PEPFAR is one of those few foreign aid programs that should be rubber-stamped without serious debate because it WORKS. There isn't a politician who supposedly cares about human beings who should even consider holding up a program like PEPFAR. We have decades of results that clearly reveal how much PEPFAR has helped people, and there are now American politicians that were voted into office by people who you know and probably even love who want to kill it. Stories like this make me so ashamed of vast numbers of people in this country -- not just the political leaders but the Americans who voted them into office and keep them there -- and it just seems to get worse and less hopeful and more mean. It's not like I don't recognize what our country has turned into in the past 7-8 years, but sometimes I am still stunned at the how far we have fallen.
#PEPFAR#As you might be able to tell this really pisses me off#AIDS#AIDS Relief#George W. Bush#Bush 43#Foreign Aid#President's Emergency Program for AIDS Relief#Congress#Republican Party#GOP#No More Compassionate Conservatives

My hot Alan Rickman-esque beefcake teammate/kind of personal trainer (??) is now our sevens coach for the summer and I am being so normal about it I swear
#its a relief to have someone equally autistic around and someone whos looking out for me without treating me like i cant keep up#my hip gave out early this week and nearly gave out again during practice. instead of ignoring me when i signalled i was stepping out#he took a moment to check in on me during a drill and mame sure it wasn't an active injury/had i seen a doctor/was i in pt etc#and tan through what else we'd be doing in practice so i knew what I'd be able to do and what id sit out for#granted i got in trouble as his trainee because I didn't tell him about fucked up hips so i got a gentle wagging of the finger and a#'we're puttin this on the damn list!' as he walked away which means my plan is getting update lol#i want to make real progress in this program with him cause i konda want to start liftin?? he does it and it looks really satisfying tbh#so I might in a few months ask him about adding it to the plan as well

#if u r curious abt following the saga that is my life:#i did finally accept an official offer from a school this afternoon. which is a huge relief and really exciting#and for once i think i did something that will b good for me in mind and body lol bc i think i could b happy with any of the places i#applied to but this program is most geared to my interests and its in a place where i think i can have fun due to the accessibility#of nature and the mountains haha. like at rutgers i think i could have got a good education and had a lot of opportunities but i think it#would have crushed my soul a lil bc it would b more high pressure and in the city. ya kno? so i hopefully i dont regret the choice lol#i still have to wait on the offical acceptance stuff but now at least i can allow myself to get excited abt the potential project and start#researching. which i mean ill have 5yrs of a phd for that but idk im excited and my life feels so empty and meaningless rn ive gotta take#the excitement where i can haha#anyway housing is gonna b a bitch bc there arent a lot of places available in grad student price ranges in the city to the point where they#said so in the official offer rip. and i have to decide when im leaving the southwest bc i could stay til August or leave in july and take#like a whole almost 2 months to just not b doing anything for a sec. and my dad was like !!! u could go to the crazy state parks#or drive out to the pacific northwest! and that would b amazing but also that sounds so scary to do on my own lol#like i dont wanna b missing and murdered as a youngish non guy traveling alone#but i could do it if i tried im sure. anyway i just wanted to let yall kno#bc im so doom and gloom on here all the time but a transition period is looming so im only stuck here for a few more months#and hopefully itll b a page turn into a happier place haha#watch out yellowstone cyanobacteria. im coming for u >:-]#knock on wood. ya kno. just in case#hhhh at least i can breathe a lil better now i have a direction#unrelated

The only reason why nightmare knows what hentai is, is due to killer.
Oh, totally. Killer, who unabashedly watches it on the community tv for shock value.
Nightmare berates him and makes him knock if off every time, but it usually takes some backup to get Killer to quit it for long enough to matter.
With the current full house from R&R, it gets stopped fast the first time either of the new recruits object, whichever of them (Ren or Baggs) encounters the issue first.
Killer had best pray it's Ren.
#k answers#k headcanons#fic nonsense#r&r(r&r)#cw spicy content?#Ren will just bitch at him until he knocks it off and maybe bean him with a pillow#Baggs threatens corrective behavior within three seconds of being told “no” to turning it off or going elsewhere#either way Killer gets to knock it off For Real this time and chased back to his room for that kind of programing#And then Nightmare breathes a huge sigh of relief because thank god finally.
