"this is DEFINITELY written by AI, I can tell because it uses the writing quirks that AI uses (because it was trained on real people who write with those quirks)"

c'mon dudes we have got to do better than this

I really wish I could make it clear to people that asking for updates usually has the opposite effect, even when you add "please" to your sentence. I'm not saying this to be mean, and I know the comments are meant well, that they're a way for people to show they're thinking of the fic. However, my brain is a rude thing and will immediately put that fic in the "nope" category, even when or especially when I was already working on it. Leaving a heart emoji, a short 're-read kudos', or anything of the sort is far more effective at communicating that people are thinking of the fic, without making my brain shelve the fic for the next couple of days.

If I haven't updated a fic for a while, trust me, it's not because I've forgotten about it; I know when I haven't updated in months. It usually is because I'm struggling with real life, with writer's block, or am feeling burnt out with that particular fic. In short, I'm not postponing the updates on purpose.

All art is good art when it's ArtFight art! There is no lower limit on ability required to take part and we love anyone who draws any art of our characters regardless of perceived 'standards' of art <3

what sort of art level do you have to be to take part. like, if you are on the level of stickmen and 3/4 to profile anime head only is that acceptable? i wouldn't want to insult someone by drawing their characters rly badly...

Beginners and those new to art are absolutely welcome to participate in Art Fight. We'd love to have you!

there's a p common attitude in fandom spaces (fandom in general, not a specific one) that's like "why care about canon, or the characters being ooc? we're here to play with the dolls any way we like" and as much as i obviously am a person who thinks about canon a lot in theory i'm into that. in practice though when popular fanon takes things in a wildly different direction from canon so often it's in the service of taking something that was originally canonically weird and interesting and making it blander. it's flattening a complex character into a broad archetype i've seen a million times before, it's taking two characters with a complicated canonical relationship and writing them in a way where you could find-and-replace the names with any other popular migratory slash fandom pairing and the fic would make as much if not more sense. if you're going to break away from canon at least do something interesting? don't make it less weird? i feel like i'm watching someone take a really beautiful expensive cut of wagyu steak and grind it into hamburger to cook it well done and cover it in ketchup

EVERYONE(!) I’m blazing this post because at this pace we might barely hit 1,000,000 signatures—or just fall short. PLEASE reblog this post, no matter where you are from, so we can reach as many EU citizens as possible and end this horrible practice!

Just realised that whenever I see the phrase "I wouldn't touch that with a ten foot pole" I automatically think of a ten metre pole. Like a comically long pole. A ten foot pole isn't all that long. That's slightly less than two of my body lengths. Not touching something with a ten foot pole still lets you get pretty close to it actually.

Public outcry make a difference.

Boycotting makes a difference.

We can make a difference.

The tribes of Tumblr appeared to worship Apollo as their primary patron deity, most often under the epithet Apollo Spairahemon ("Apollo the Ball-Thrower") as a god of prophecy and sport. His name was typically invoked to celebrate a user blessed with uncommon prescience. Moments of prophecy were considered highly sacred and were often recorded, and such texts are sometimes accompanied by an artistic depiction of the god — either his traditional masculine image or, unusually, in the form of a young woman, which appears to have been an earlier style before a conservative shift toward more conventional iconography — preparing to cast a round rubber ball that our scholars believe was used in the sport known as "dodge ball". Much as other cults regarded his arrows as bringers of disease and health, this community believed that being struck by this ball would bestow prophetic visions.

Some icons are reproduced below:

An earlier depiction (c. 2020) of Apollo as a girl clad in a simple tunic and playing with other children. Figures are smiling and the image is brightly colored, indicating a celebratory outlook toward knowledge of the future.

A later piece (c. 2022) that resembles the traditional appearance of Apollo. References to childhood and play are omitted, and the god carries a more frightening aspect; perhaps this icon represented grim omens rather than good tidings.

Here's another painting I just finished for a friend. I'm kinda proud of this one I think it turned out better than the TB2 I did previously
