I feel like if ppl just... stopped engaging w clear rage bait/troll/even moderately pro-AI ppl, we'd be better off bc less traction. Continuously dogging on them only boosts engagement hey get and keeps them in the spotlight. You're just feeding the algorithm to keep them on top

context. sentiment. inferences. People seriously cannot do these things anymore. That’s why they angrily demand you spell out every joke, every reference, super duper promise you mean something only this one prescribed way. They cannot do it for themselves or tolerate the any ambiguity.

I looked up many employees a data center can typically hire POST CONSTRUCTION: anywhere from 4-100 people A brand new supercenter Walmart will typically hire 300-400 people

Point is don't be triggered by extremist talks. That's what they want. Ask what they're doing about homelessness or supporting veterans. How is hating one small group of kind hearted people helping college kids who can't get jobs? What about the loneliness epidemic? Stay focused

IBLP is what the duggars are. It's an ultra conservative Christian view where there's a hierarchy Christ > husband > wife > children. There's an importance of obeying the top at all costs and nothing bad will happen. If you stray, you immediately sin. Women just have large families, period.

FLDS - offshoot group under Mormonism. They're extremists and their leader a few years ago was on the run then caught/convicted of abuse against children Mega churches: sometimes they can go awry and go super extremists. IBLP would work here too (institute of basic life principals)

realizing how dumb ppl are when u just ask basic questions "Dinosaurs only existed 6k years ago" "Real quick can you explain sharks and alligators to me" "Muslims are extremists and need to go" "Real quick could you explain the FLDS and mega churches to me"

Chowwwww I never liked working in news during 9/11 bc I still cannot physically look at media regarding it. I just straight up cry. 25 yrs later it still feels raw. I can't joke about it or watch movies. I just see death, the falling man, I hear screams from the news reports, I see the towers fall

It's bc they make it an animation so each frame must be re-rendered. Sometimes the gAI doesn't render it completely so it gets squished. I can show you on disc the sample I have from someone's current "wip". They're a confirmed gAI user but I think it's a great sample point

Lynai (Spoopykiwi) @lynai.bsky.social · 02/09/2026

Incidentally there's a new method they're pushing. I downloaded one of the art wip videos, zoomed in and figured out how it was gAI. The home button on the screen kept changing sizes lmao

Realized how funny "I really did this art, here's the video" AI proofs are when it's AI drawn. There's tell tales to what someone w no art foundation would do vs someone with that background. And I realized a lot of those vids have the no art foundation behind them hahahah

Unfortunately you can't do shit about someone who is committed to misunderstanding you. Instead you can move forward without needing the last word. What's the point in arguing for the sake of arguing? Bc that's exactly what it turns into when the other party has their mind made up about you already

And I highly curate my feeds. If I notice someone is using hook, enraging writing, I report as spam/not interested. So I'm frequently not in this echo chamber but it just continues to fall to me if a trend rises. Frriiiggen annoying

Lynai (Spoopykiwi) @lynai.bsky.social · 27/08/2026

I'm finding threads is a very pervasive echo chamber where it seems like no one wants to say a differing opinion. Bsky it's whatever On threads I have to be more critical of my energy but it's also where more cosplayers are. It's icky energy bc I don't like crowd mentality anymore booo

I've also seen guests with high number counts but don't provide anything of value to their fellow coser. What I look for in a great guest: - high level of skill - willingness to share area of skill (embroidery, foam, leather, etc) - body of work that's ideally broken down piece by piece

Lynai (Spoopykiwi) @lynai.bsky.social · 23/08/2026

The best cosplayers I've interacted w have been those w little to no social media presence. They don't care. They prefer their work. Some focus on numbers and mitigate easily. They balance but also have stable a job behind them. I've seen guests w 200followers. Numbers mean nothing. Work does

100

Lynai (Spoopykiwi) @lynai.bsky.social · 23/08/2026

This will be harsh but quit. This hobby was born out of a love of imitating characters. It's make believe. Stop burning yourself out for others approval. If you like this hobby you'll focus on the core, learn to fall in love with your work, fall in love w others work, community will follow easy

100

Lynai (Spoopykiwi) @lynai.bsky.social · 23/08/2026

This all stems from me constantly seeing people say "I'm so burnt out... I'm never seen... I do (all the things)... nothing ever takes off... I might quit..."

100

Lynai (Spoopykiwi) @lynai.bsky.social · 23/08/2026

When you focus on numbers, you sell yourself short, eventually burn out will creep in. Never let someone else dictate how you should operate to succeed. You can take tips and suggestions but don't change who you are. If you cannot make reels bc no energy, don't do it. Period

100

Lynai (Spoopykiwi) @lynai.bsky.social · 23/08/2026

And what you like could be a specific niche. That's okay, we need those flavors in life! When you don't worry about numbers, I believe you thrive and present your true personality out. That's what the focus should be

100

Lynai (Spoopykiwi) @lynai.bsky.social · 23/08/2026

If someone has ambitions to be seen then I think they need to go in expecting to not BE seen at all. You don't know what'll work anymore, what people will like. Don't reward them, and don't cater. That makes the battle harder but when you focus on what you like, you become unstoppable

100

Lynai (Spoopykiwi) @lynai.bsky.social · 23/08/2026

You can only align if you have a team behind you If you have a team, you have the funds. Which many of us do not You can create many reels on your own but eventually, without time management, you will burn out bc the algorithm is relentless

100

Lynai (Spoopykiwi) @lynai.bsky.social · 23/08/2026

Likewise creators need the same thing, our attention, energy and engagement in order to get views/clicks/shares so they get rewarded To be seen as a cosplayer in this new era is to also be a content creator. This is its own job and cannot align w cosplay bc it is a slow art

100

Lynai (Spoopykiwi) @lynai.bsky.social · 23/08/2026

There's a lot of things happening behind the scenes that make being seen nearly impossible. Tech is a machine that degrades us by using us as free labor. They earn their money by stealing our attention, energy and ideas. Without these things, they lose money

100

Lynai (Spoopykiwi) @lynai.bsky.social · 23/08/2026

I have so many thoughts about the constant need to be seen on social media regarding cosplay. I should make blog posts or consider writing them as essays bc my opinions dive into capitalism, conflict of interest, loss of autonomy and burnout in a slow hobby

Lynai (Spoopykiwi) @lynai.bsky.social · 22/08/2026

It's unfortunately not court level yet (good, I hate court) but it's small nuances. I'm getting them only where renters rights/AZ law allows but I can't do certain things. Like I can only get them for no water access to their dogs when they forget them outside. It sucks :(

I'm so hopeful. I think about an old coworker who suddenly found out she had melanoma stage 4, went into treatment immediately, and a month later she was gone. Newly wed only 5 months prior. I get my skin checked now because of her.We are so much closer to seeing help in our lifetime for this,my god

Been in a strange rut lately. Working on breaking out. It's always hard during the summer bc that's like winter to me. Never go out, too hot; what is there to do? There's like a lull in the air 🫠 I should take up Nordic winter practices during summer

Honestly if I can set it and forget it, that'd be so cool. I did read somewhere the mark up is higher because of the printing costs. But as a buyer, I had one item from acagoods and it was SO SMALL. I have no idea if that was the seller putting in wrong numbers or wooacry 🥲

Lynai (Spoopykiwi) @lynai.bsky.social · 11/08/2026

Keep looking at ACGgoods wondering if that's an ok place to sell stuff I wouldn't mind selling my art to support my cosplay. I neeeever liked the idea of selling prints of myself bc I find that weird. But art? Totally. I just also don't like the idea of having merch sitting around
