There Should Be More Dragons On Tumblr

thank you tumblr very cool

i love you block button i love you tag filtering i love you "this post is not for me" button i love you tumblr i am being besieged by so many blogs i dont want anywhere near me right now

tumblr might be the thing that finally makes me learn to just leave spaces with things and people that make me angry or uncomfortable instead of fighting it

I've rarely seen a more validating sentence in my entire life.

notice how there are only the lights on the ceiling. the ring of lights.

the night scenes are ALWAYS drawn this way. I don't know how they messed it up this bad. It's an incredible part of the atmosphere and worldbuilding and giving even what could be called an illusion of a night sky breaks that. It makes the world feel so much more generic. Also coming off of episode 9 of season 2 the animation is frighteningly stiff. I'm only in it for the soundtrack at this point. just read it on webtoon if you want to get into the series, please.

tower of god season 2 is the most glaringly terrible adaptation ive seen in a while for one reason. have you taken a look at the night scenes? do you see them in the background? the MOON and STARS???

i guess Rachel didn't need to climb anywhere past floor 20 after all because you can see the stars RIGHT THERE. in fact they're also on floor 3 in the scenes with Khun. It might seem like a minor detail in other stories but that's her whole motivation for the inciting incident of the series.

i don't particularly care about the other things people have been ragging on, but they're valid criticisms too. I'm just unreasonably irritated about this detail because it is central to the entire story. It would have taken LESS effort to not put the moon and stars in the background. Do better.

Goodbye Art Tumblrs

i am deleting all of my art here forever. you dont get any more until never, probably. Patreon if you want it. Might start posting stuff there. not even tier-locked probably. until they start doing AI shit too. Hell world torment nexus nightmare realm. we are in the darkest timeline.

my countermeasures probably won't affect reblogs, so i ask of you. if you have reblogged my art: delete it and reblog this instead. I am dead serious i will be extremely upset if my shit gets scraped enough to make even a semi-accurate model of my art.

What is this about the tumblr staff wanting to sell art data to midjourney?

An ex-colleague of mine mentioned yesterday that there may be contacts between Automattic and midjourney in that direction, but nothing is public yet and I don't have any more info. They probably won't have anything specific to share either, since they left the company weeks ago too. That being said:

I have no reason to doubt my ex-coworker word, they are a trustworthy person.

Tumblr's CEO has been absurdly enthusiastic (comically, even) about AI, and is a big fan of LLMs and 'AI' companies.

A deal with midjourney could solve tumblr financial issues (not the same company, but openAi is paying up to 5 million/year to news companies to use their content as training data... tumblr generates several orders of magnitude more content than any newspaper or any media company and it only would need a 20 to 30 million per year deal to be profitable)

So I don't have any extra info yet, but I'm keeping my ears open.

5houghts on the minecraft movie teaser trailer?

I hope everyone involved with the film finds themselves stricken by the Pharaoh's curse and they all die within the span of 4 years

hey dont cry. one million dragons in the world, ok?

the next time i make any dragon character and a D&D nerd starts trying to correct MY lore about MY DRAGONS based on a tabletop roleplaying game's story i am going to shove a mythological compilation of dragons throughout history up their ass and then stab them with a big sword. same goes for people who tell me my dragons arent actually dragons because they have slightly different numbers of limbs. burn in dragon hell.
