"Does my appearance cause discomfort? In time, that should pass. Visceral human reactions to the uncanny are known to fade with familiarity." (Six the robot, drawn by the unrivaled @nushdeco.bsky.social ❤️) #FirstLightArt
Artwork of Six from my book series First Light, as drawn by @nushdeco.bsky.social. 

A gynoid robot themed after a 1920s flapper, surrounded by art noveau-style architecture, such as an ornate stairwell and a circular window. She wears a yellow dress and high heels, and is carrying a book. Some of her body has been damaged and repaired. Her right leg is wooden, and her right arm looks vicious and weapon-like. She is surrounded by storm clouds, and a mechanical spider hangs next to her.

wtf fruity little wives,,, #spop #catradora
digital illustration of Catradora in a nondescript blurry sunset-colored ballroom/hall,,, Catra’s hair is long and braided, and she wears a form-fitting red dress with a sheer sleeveless top and a sweetheart neckline forming diamond-shaped boob window, alongside gold embellishments and jewelry. Adora’s wearing an iridescent-white, high-neck long dress with hip cutouts and gold wing-like details across the waist (inspired by a piece from the Roberto Cavalli 2007 collection); her hair’s down (save for the pouf) and she wears a simple tiara and a gold arm band,,,they are looking at each other with so much list and lesbianism,,,

"The rules that bind them are mine to bend and yours to break." Behold! Khamsin and Sahira from Shadow Puppets, brought to life by the incredible @argovelaart.bsky.social! These characters are very important to me and I wanted them done right--and not only did Argo deliver, she blew me away!
A piece of character art by ArgoVela (@argovelaart.bsky.social) depicting two figures. To the right is Khamsin, a very tall and powerfully built woman with beige skin, short blonde hair, and covered in scars. She carries a large curved blade on her back and wears a sun hat-like helmet and a pauldron made of bug parts and decorated with gossamer wings. She towers well above the other figure, and is shielding her from the wind with her cloak while watching her protectively.

To the left is, Sahira, an averagely-sized human, who s walking carefully in the shade provided. Her skin is olive and she has dark long hair, dresses in loose clothes in tones of blue and purple, and wears a vast assortment of moon-themed silver jewelry. She seems a little bit embarrassed to be shielded from the wind in such a way, but is doing a good enough job hiding it.

( #OCs #lore ) getting my silly lil word count in for the day by giving gnnae daddy issues as the lord intended for him to have,,,
(1/3) screenshot snippet from my silly lil WIP in which Dalian and Gnnaedir (father/child, King/Crown Prince, respectively) have a dispute over “diplomatic” assimilation,,,
—

TEXT:

"Have you decided how you will address the Nayeztlians about our proposition?"
"*Your* proposition. And I have not," he answered, eyes fixed on the woods in the distance.
Though the youth's mind seemed to be elsewhere, Dalian thought him to certainly look the part—the blood-red cape draping between his squared shoulders, the tightened jaw and pensive brow, his long, flower-adorned curls trembling and shifting shapes with the slightest of movements. Indira's beautiful face replicated, her features more angular and somehow less pronounced in their child. But there was so much he had yet to learn, and so much that still kept him away. And Dalian worried. "Gnnaedir, your subjects need your reassurance. They need to feel that you will know how to guide them should a time come when they are most in need of it."
"If guiding them means accelerating their genocide, then I will not be the one to do to it."
"You would contribute to no such thing. We only seek their compliance, a right to inhabit these lands alongside them."
"Compliance can hardly be called voluntary under the threat of knife and famine."
"You do not understand what is at stake here. And the Panopli will not listen to me..."
"But you're certain that they'll listen to one of their own," Gnnaedir finished for him, finally turning to give his father a sharp, combative glare. "Is that why you sought me out? To be your scapegoat? Your pawn?"
"To be my *heir*." Dalian's voice grew stern. "As my firstborn, as Crown Prince, you have an obligation to uphold and a promise to fulfill. A prophecy to disprove. I have made many mistakes in my life, mistakes for which I will eternally repent, but on occasion, there rises an opportunity to correct these errors and bridge these differences."(2/3) continuing the scene from previous image. ohhhh the girls are fightinggg,,,
—

TEXT:

"So, you wish to amend the faults of the Crown by burdening me with them," Gnnaedir confronted.
"This is the price of power. And reaching a diplomatic compromise would be far better for all of us than to have to plunge into battle. But if the Panopli refuse to accept our ways and integrate, then escalating with talks of war may be the necessary, single course of action left to prevent further senseless violence."
"The Crown has threatened violence before, and it has followed through. You say that it would be a last recourse, yet your blacksmiths forge weapons by the dozens. What of the wars that were fought before my time? What did all those altercations prevent?”
"These are merely precautions we must take. It's true that my father was a difficult man and prone to cruelty, but the skirmishes and scuffles that were fought under his orders can hardly be considered *wars*.”
"Tell that to the ruins of my people's villages and the corpses whose spilled blood still dampens the soil."
Dalian grew somber. After a contemplative pause, he tried, "It pains me to know that no reassurances I could offer you can change what transpired under my predecessor's rule. But a consolation you might find in our present day is that you have the power to change all of our people's futures. This is the role that you were born into."(3/3) final bit from previous scene. tfw your child fucking hates you 😭 ouuughhh dalian i am so sorry
—

TEXT:

"You're mistaken," Gnnaedir countered with a wry, humorless scoff. "I took my first breaths amidst the rubble of the fires
your Crown began, there in the muck and wreckage that the soldiers under its command left behind. I grew to learn the face of Lady Death, begged her for the mercy that your God never granted me. *That* was the role that you decided the child you claim to love should have." At the King's lowering, remorseful eyes, Gnnaedir continued. "And now that you've found use for me, you wish for me to pretend that I had a hand in any of it, or that I alone can change the course of my people's fate. But I will not answer for something I never partook in. I want no part in your one-sided solutions."
Dalian was quiet at this, only breathing out a tender, worn sigh as one of his hands flew up to rub his temple. They stood in tense silence until he spoke again with a shake of his head, the streaks of silver in his dark hair shifting out of place. "I am not proud of much of the history I share with my father," he conceded, his voice ever-so-gentle. "He held so much power in my life, and so many of his choices were ones I would do anything to reverse. The task of undoing his mistakes is the cross I must bear because of the title I inherited. But it is a history that joins my life to his, and one that inextricably binds *our* lives together, as well. And, with time, I hope you can come to see how much we do have in common," he tried, extending his hand with paternal benignity to rest on the other's shoulder.
But Gnnaedir only stepped back with a staggered jolt, eyes darkened and wild. "I am *nothing* like you."

New Yorkers should know whether the apartment they’re looking at is real. That’s why we’re working to require apartment listings to clearly disclose when images and videos have been generated by AI. Finding a home in New York is hard enough without artificially generating more problems.

Is That Fireplace Real or A.I.?
Listing sites are littered with homes with fake fireplaces, improved views and virtual landscaping, raising false advertising concerns.

If she turned back to look at him, she would lose the last thing she had left.

So she could only do what she did best: she ran.

She ran until the cathedral was engulfed by the trees, ran until the path she had taken was out of sight and even further. Ran, the coins clanging louder every time her feet found the earth. A betraying tear rolled down her cheek, and then another and another, until they trailed behind her with every breath. She paid no mind to where her legs took her—all she knew was that she had to keep running. She ran and ran, her dress catching on twisted brambles, thorns and pebbles burrowing into her soles, but it didn't matter. Her lungs burned as her tears transformed into ragged sobbing and, unable to see through watering eyes, her ankle twisted against a loose stone, knocking her down to the ground onto scuffed elbows and scraped knees.

Shaking hands dug into the soil as if searching for the flushed warmth of Gnnaedir's face beneath her fingers, the taste of him on her trembling lip. No matter how tightly she shut her eyes, she could still see him, his stained-glass eyes full of hope and unbridled devotion, his voice whispering her name like a benediction. Nobody had ever looked at her with so much love. And as her sobs echoed around her and even her shadow abandoned her with the darkening sky, she knew nobody would ever do so again.drawing of a lil stick figure guy screaming and crying on his hands and knees with so much anguish bc that’s me right now trying to not EXPLODE oUGHGHHHHHHHHGGJFJGKFK I’MM BBURSIFTING INTO TEARSSDJJJ

Genuinely, this concern about AI is one of the reasons why I think having friction in video games is good and why it's increasingly important to have games that simply exist instead of catering to our expectations. Reposting this message from Kojima about "pre-digested" art:
And he said, "If everyone likes it, it means it's mainstream. It means it's conventional. It means it's already pre-digested for people to like it. And I don't want that. I want people to end up liking things they didn't like when they first encountered it, because that's where you really end up loving something."
