I had to update a bio from six years ago somewhat recently and I did not recognize the woman it was for. Just felt "??? >:(" the entire time I was fixing it. How drastically transitioning and being happy for the first time can change a person. Anyway seeing old stuff one made always feels like:

The perk "Ain't Like That Now" from Fallout New Vegas. The icon for it is a Vault Boy taking off a black cowboy hat and putting on a white one.

Finally bothered to tidy up my Deviantart page. Felt this the whole time I was looking through it;

The perk "Ain't Like That Now" from Fallout: New Vegas. It depicts Vault Boy throwing off a black cowboy hat and donning a white one.

Spiritomb always stuck in my mind. I like its face.

Spiritomb: A pokemon that's a swirling purple vortex with green orbs floating in it and an evil smile. One of its eyes has a swirl in it. A plain keystone is attached to it.

Me every single time I draw: "How the fuck do you use anything in Clip Studio Paint and what the fuck is even in this. How the dick am I supposed to know which of these billion tabs has a "noise" function- the fuck is magic wand- how the hell do BRUSHES WORK!?" Yet the bitch seeks no tutorials.

Are you doing the graph thing? I always realize I'm doing the graph thing when I start disliking my art. Sucks even when I realize it because I *still do it* and then I feel dumb while still being mad at myself. This:

A tweet from "TitusLunter" that reads: "This little graph is why artists go from feeling great to feeling like shit. Technical ability and observation alternate causing highs and lows in perceived skill.
Once you feel it go down you just got to ride the wave.
#thegraph #artistsexplained #arttip #art"
Attached is a graph with "Time" as the X axis and "Skill as the Y axis, with "Observation Skills" charted in blue and "Artistic skills" charted in red. Both lines repeatedly overtake each other and flatten out, with the parts where Artistic skills overtake Observation skills marked as an "Artist high" and the inverse marked as an "Artist low."

I see this. Did I pass the test? (It was fun to do this, thanks for the inspiration to draw a lil.)

A sketch of a very big woman shuffling forward while thinking the words "food" and "bigger."
She seems very happy :)

Honestly shocked I could find a list of berry names that start with V. Anyway, they're all too niche to have any be home runs of names, but, uh... Best I got is Velvet or Vibian. Maybe Virginia? Kinda a hard name to attach a pun to.

List of "Berries that start with V" that features the name, scientific name, type of berry, and native range of the listed berries.
For brevity, the listed names are: Velvet apple, Voavanga, Virginia, Vitex, Viburnum.

Cw: Blood. Yeah sometimes it feel like this. I dunno how to describe why.

A person is painfully and horrifically transforming into a velociraptor, their new form bursting from their body in a bloody display. They're screaming and begging for help. A therapist in a big stupid chair looks on unfazed going "mmhm..."
Sometimes therapy feels like this.

Almost positive the story will flop because it doesn't focus on expansion, but I Can't Care About That or I will lose my passion and live an empty life. I know this shit'll speak to another. Got a beautiful comment on my last flop (pic below). The numbers don't matter, I'm not getting paid for this.

So I used your encouragement to finally draw a character I've been meaning to sit down and draw for years. She's uh, not pleased that this is how I managed it. Thanks for the excuse. I hope your Birthday was good! (and that this is funny)

A large and nude spider woman in a party hat that reads "Birth :D." Her arms are outstretched and she's furious.
She shouts: "I have been your fursona for YEARS! And the first time you draw me is for SOME STRANGER'S BIRTHDAY!?!?? YOU DON'T KNOW THEM! THEY DON'T KNOW YOU!!! YOU DIDN'T DRAW FOR YOUR OWN BIRTHDAY!!!!!"
Small pink text in the bottom left reads "Merry Birth :D".

They don't know shit, they have no learning ability because they DON'T THINK! They at best mimic. They're like your bog standard Thing style monster. A human mimic at best. LLMs are Nothing There, you get me. They're this.

Here's the deleted post for reference.

Post from Ana Valens reading: "A loli VTuber was arrested in the UK "for possession of her artwork, and her artwork alone."

"Per her bail conditions, her activities for the foreseeable future have to be both SFW, and fully transparent, in order to prevent a breach of her bail conditions."

Attached is a tweet from Mimi Yanagi reading: "Good afternoon bunbuns, sincere apologies for the absence. Mimi has a long story to tell.

On Monday April 20th, Mimi was arrested by the UK Police for possession of her artwork, and her artwork alone. She's currently on bail pending the outcome of a criminal investigation into her accounts and activities. All of her devices were seized as a result of the arrest.

As a result of her bail conditions, Mimi has to move to a new account, and is required to use a header name on her new account that her bail officers have agreed to.

The account in question is @Mimi_Yabaii.

Per her bail conditions, her activities for the foreseeable future have to be both SFW, and fully transparent, in order to prevent a breach of her bail conditions.

Mimi apologizes sincerely from the bottom of her heart for letting all of you down, and for diappointing you in such a way."

Alright first up we got Warren from Peggle... That's it.

A picture of Warren from the Peggle franchise, who is a cartoon white rabbit with a big purple top hat and matching magicians outfit with a red bow-tie. He resides in an even bigger top hat. There is a swirling vortex of stars and warm colors behind him.

However, this takes place in the Bannered Mare in Whiterun, and the line at the start refers to the Hall of the Dead being closed, with Brother Verulus mentioned, who is Markarth's priest of Arkay. Whiterun's priest is Andurs. This makes the animation a 10/10 instead of an 11.

Captioned Screenshot of a joke from the Simpsons TV show. Caption reads: "Boy, I really hope somebody got fired for that blunder." The speaker is a stereotypical nerd wearing a shirt labeled "genius at work" and is in a small crowd of similar nerd characters, who are nitpicking minuscule mistakes that an old TV show made.

I ran outta space. Warning: Horny

I can't even express the truth on this to people because I'll sound like a lust-crazed mad-woman.
Because I AM a lust-crazed mad-woman (about this)! I want people to stare! I want to struggle to find clothes that fit! I want to need to squeeze through doorframes! I want to bounce with every step and ditch bras just to make it even WORSE! I want to feel the strain in my back that confirms my womanhood! I want milk stains on my shirts! I! WANT!!! BIGGER!!!!!
How the fuck do I tell this to my doctor?

This, but I keep almost nicking myself and burning the robe. Make it whir like a sawblade like whreeeeEeEeEe.

Art of the Stars Wars character Kreia, also known as Darth Traya. She's a pale woman with white hair in braids and almost completely covered by plain brown robes that rest on the floor. Only her scowling face and hands are visible. She's using the Force to telekinetically control three purple lightsabers that are spinning around her. Looks bad ass.

It was Count Bleck. No contest. Still a sick design. To this day jack-o-lantern grins are my favorite face for just about anything. And I will always love a good fancy looking villain.

The glorious and terrible Count Bleck, the lead villain from the video game "Super Paper Mario". He lacks a proper body, having disembodied white gloves for hands and a blue shadow for a head. His face is a glowing red jack-o-lantern grin with a monocle over one eye (how dapper). He wears a cloak that has a white to blue gradient and a vampire style extravagant red collar. The inside of his cloak is a sea of stars in a twilight void, with a white vest floating in it to imply a body. He also has a large red brooch, a tall white top hat (still dapper!) and a fancy cane with a blue jewel at the top. Some scientists say that Count Bleck is the coolest design possible. This is backed up by God, and or the Gods, depending on your faith.

This quote rattles in my head. Some people just don't analyze their own life closely, for whatever reason, or just don't consider that they're in the wrong. It does make sense to me. Who on Earth would want to come to the conclusion that they're a bastard? That just sounds stressful.

Quote from Elif Batuman in her book The Idiot: "I found myself remembering the day in kindergarten when the teachers showed us Dumbo, and I realized for the first time that all the kids in class, even the bullies, rooted for Dumbo, against Dumbo's tormentors. Invariably they laughed and cheered, both when Dumbo succeeded and when bad things happened to his enemies. But they're you, I thought to myself. How did they not know? They didn't know. It was astounding, an astounding truth. Everyone thought they were Dumbo."

I personally think that the Mystery Man everyone uses to represent W.D. Gaster in the DeltaTale games is a reference to that one easter egg in Yume Kikki with Uboa (pictured below). So if I'm right and Gaster looks like something else, that would mean 10 years of fan art is wrong. That'd be weird.

A picture of Uboa's sprite from the game Yume Nikki. They're a black bump about as tall and wide as a person, with a white mask like face that has an open mouth. The right half of their face is frowning, with a crack above the eye. The left side of their face is smiling.

Hi, friends. Clarification needed: Does this rule apply just to fictional depictions of real people, or any fiction depicting non-consensual acts? Fictional characters can't consent or not-consent at all, because they aren't real.

"ii. We do not allow sexual content involving non-consensual activity including synthetic, simulated, illustrated, or animated versions."

Here's other "gems" from the article. Please read the full article, everyone. This isn't even all of them or the most galling ones. Amazing. Truly astounding how callus someone can be.

Screenshot of the article with text that reads: "My coworker at my screen printing job (in spite of knowing my negative feelings on the matter because I had cried after I found several dozen pieces of my art in the LAION dataset) chose to plug my art into an AI generator and asked for it to imitate my style-which it did poorly, might I add. It felt extremely violating."

Screenshot of the article with text that reads: "The person I married had a secret file on their computer labeled "AI pics" they thought I didn't notice."

Screenshot of the article with text that reads: "When my contract with that company ended, I did an exit interview with my boss. I expressed concerns about being able to find further work. He handwaved me, saying 'There's always work out there.'
I have not been able to find any work since then."

Screenshot of the article that reads: "When AI first came on the scene, I was approached by a potential client that was self-funding a mobile game and wanted to commission me to create in-game art. He asked what my standard rate was and then offered to double it if I allowed him to pay in etherium (which I knew nothing about at that point.) I immediately had some concerns, but I'm a struggling artist so I took the gig anyway and crossed my fingers."

Friend, I can't beat Middle-Earth: Shadow of War's LOOT BOX ORC! WHOOO WOO WOO!

A tan orc from the game Middle-Earth: Shadow of War, which takes place in the Lord of The Rings setting. Specifically it's the infamous market orc that is known in some circles as the "lootbox orc". He has green eyes, a gray beard that hangs down with no mustache, and his pointy ears and face has many ring piercings. His wrinkled face is frowning. His left shoulder is bare and has a faded tattoo that looks somewhat like chains(?), with his right shoulder having a metal pauldron. He's also wearing leather bracers, has long finger nails, and is rubbing his hands together in a scheming-businessman kind of way.
