iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Should I be alarmed I had a wild dream last night about the plague coming to the states and hitting DC? Coincidence. Surely.

Time for a little Locker room fun.

It's been kind of weird getting support from people in the Pro-AI community over the FA fiasco. They say, "No way your art is AI man." and offer me apologies I got caught up in a culture turf war. It's just as amazing all the people who have followed me since the 90's who are saying the same thing.

Wielder @wielder.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

(Irony: Mods at FA complaining advertising reps refuse to listen to them, try to compromise, and try to force them to bend to ever increasingly obscure and unstated rules.) I still want Fa to survive, mind you. But damn if it isn't just a tiny bit satisfying to hear they are getting an equal dose.

I have offended a vast quantity of people since birth simply by existing. It's not new. It's not any easier. But definitely not new.

Wielder @wielder.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

Apparently I died again. That's what? Third time? Weird how this rumor circulates so often.

040

Wielder @wielder.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

maybe by the time you get here, that's what you end up wishing for.

Wielder @wielder.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

The seventh Chamber. The final challenge. Yet another imp. But this time... no passages past. Is it a dead end? Was the wish all a lie? It's hard to tell what is an illusion or real anymore.

I give it away. It's free. No paywall. No patreon. I am the worst kind of competitor to a artist who makes money at it. Not even AI. But AI is a tool they can use to shut me down. They can accuse my artistic license or mistakes as AI to purge me.

100

Wielder @wielder.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

Absolutely. Already working on that. Unfortunately someone is taking time to try and shut down those galleries as well. Right now I am on Inkbunny, So Furry, Weasyl, and here on Bluesky.

Wielder @wielder.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

Actually, it makes me look human and upset. And I promoted the go fund me. I believe the site deserves support. Just not from me. You haven't even begun to look into me or my reasons. So don't assume so much. I have every personal authority to call out Mod Abuse.

Wielder @wielder.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

Agreed. But all Rational approaches have failed.

Wielder @wielder.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

yeah. And now they are using it as an excuse to not answer my emails.

Wielder @wielder.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

www.gofundme.com/f/support-fu... Even after all the unrealistic crap I was put through, I would like to be clear, I don't want it gone. I just want the mods to be replaced with better, actual professionals. So I don't hold it against anyone who wants to help them. Just won't be me.

Sorry but no. Your mods are the worst. Abusive, dismissive, accusatory, mocking, and lacking in some serious reading comprehension skills. I say one thing, they somehow hear something entirely different and now they are facilitating bullies to shut down others they disagree with. I pass.

Wielder @wielder.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

So, On any given day I draw roughly 2 to 5 hours on average. It's my passion and hobby. Which is WHY I do not take commissions. That makes it work. I already have a job. Art is how I relax after. I barely consume media. I just make stuff. On off days I can draw as much as 8 to 10 hours. A LOT.

040

Wielder @wielder.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Just one more after this room and you will be able to get your wish. But this one... he keeps whispering dirty things, and it's hard to move.

0144

Wielder @wielder.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

The Temple is not getting any easier. The Fifth chamber is closer to the end. But every new room means a new trick, a new set of illusions. A new pervy little demon imp with an agenda.

Wielder @wielder.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Yesterday was kind of wild with what I went through so, I just needed a moment of calm to reorient.

000

Wielder @wielder.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

During my rage haze yesterday, I thought allowing AI coloring was following my original desires to allow the fandom to color my work. But I had a sleep since then and have changed the rules again. No AI. And no, not algorithms.

100

Wielder @wielder.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Yesterday was a crazy whirl of emotions as I tried to deal with the epic nonsense of Furaffinity. Meanwhile I spontaneously spawned a contest and changed the rules six times in an hour as I figured out what I wanted. So I was manic last night. Today I'm going to try and be calm.

Wielder @wielder.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

The prize/prizes up for offer will be a basic drawing of one character. Either your sona or a fan character are fine. Limitations on what I will draw are at my discretion. I reserve the right to tweak these rules as I threw this together very spur of the moment.

Wielder @wielder.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Starting today, October 1st, 2026 to November 13th, 2026. Post questions or submissions to this thread ONLY. It will be pinned.

Wielder @wielder.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Also I appreciate the courtesy on how you handled it. Some are rather venomous about their feelings.

100

Wielder @wielder.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

There is now Three Categories. Traditional: Digital: AI: I appreciate the concerns some have about AI and such, I have my own reasons for allowing it. Hopefully everyone will be patient and understanding with me for why I am doing this. Thanks @gungewolf.bsky.social for the suggestion.

010

Wielder @wielder.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Absolutely. That is a great idea. I'll make three categories.

000

Wielder @wielder.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Just some of the examples of what you can color for my little contest/protest/realigning my purpose moment. :D

Wielder @wielder.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Even as one makes the Fourth Chamber, things do not get any easier as the room seems to expand and shrink, the imp growing to massive scale before your eyes as you cannot trust what you see. Is a wish worth all of this?

0172

Wielder @wielder.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

The Temple of the Imps is no walk in the park. The beings that inhabit it are masters of illusion and wearing away your will until you give up. What happens when you do is a mystery no one has ever explained.

0111

Wielder @wielder.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

And you know what, if you want to color with AI? Go for it. I don't care anymore. Just give me credit so I can avoid this more in the future. I have always allowed people to color my line art as it feels like a coloring book.

000

Wielder @wielder.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

To everyone who watches and enjoys the art, my apologies about the ranting. But you know what, I am realizing a few things. I STILL Stand by my original idea that my line art is Open for anyone to color. Just don't change the overall image. And give me credit wherever you post your version.

120

Wielder @wielder.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

And at the end of the day I really do not expect @furaffinity.net to fix this. I don't have faith in them doing the right thing anymore. I am venting. I am venting because it is so frustrating having to do THEIR WORK FOR THEM!

030

Wielder @wielder.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

And yeah, this is probably not helpful. @furaffinity.net But I think is is beyond pathetic that your mods can treat people with such disdain and disrespect and yet we are supposed to take the high road and maintain respect for them? That's just abuse of power.

011

Wielder @wielder.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

But moving the goal posts for people so dead set against AI allows them to harass ANY artist they do not approve of for content of style. And FA? They greased those goal posts excessively. Their own mods cannot even agree what their TOS says. @furaffinity.net

011

Wielder @wielder.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

I guess I am just fed up over this AI BS. The mods at FA are linguistically challenged and have no idea what they say. I did not break rules, there are not even any rules Against legal threats, though that still is not what happened. I am finally gathering proof my work was traced. @furaffinity.net

351

Wielder @wielder.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

The part that burns me is this is not the first time a mod from FA pretended something was something it wasn't. Their reading comprehension here, sucks.

000

Wielder @wielder.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Seriously, The Fa mods I dealt with. Openly mocked me, were disrespectful and condescending, were deliberately vague and had Horrible communication skills, but I was supposed to be the one who was polite and respectful at all times. It's pathetic. They better delete my account.

021

Wielder @wielder.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

So they knee jerked and said it was a threat. However, even a legal threat is NOT a violation of TOS at FA. It is not grounds to ban an account by their own rules.

121

Wielder @wielder.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Welp, FA just banned my account for 'sending a legal threat.' Though that is not what happened. A member of FA, possibly a Mod is sending messages to other sites to shut down my art on those sites. I brought that to their attention. I informed them that was legally dangerous to them.

Wielder @wielder.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Their magic is illusion based, but also weakens your resolve. There is a rumor one person made it. After all, how else would we know they grant a wish.
