Mostly greyscale sketch of silco from arcane. He's naked, lying on a bed, with Vander's hands over him. We are seeing him through Vander's eyes. Vander's left hand is caressing his cheek, held in place by Silco himself, and a warm glow signifies it's a warm touch. As a contrast, Vander's right hand is dragging an ice cube over Silco's chest arm and chest, cold water leaving a trail over his skin. A blue tinted glow signifies it's, of course, very cold.

Wolf sketch. Or at least, it's supposed to be, but then I added Ecolines (warm grey light, warm grey) and despite the names, the shades were further apart than expected, and the warm grey only darkened as it dried. So it looks like a husky

A sketch of the head of a wolf, in black ballpoint pen, black Micron pen, and grey Ecoline. The colours have dried in a way that the shading looks like typical husky coat markings

I mean, *I* have knives out for Leto. He’s an asshole, but for some reason keeps getting away with shit that ended the careers of others. :/

IDK. There are so much more in there now too: sushi, shoto, tabi... It feels like it's just getting far too close to being Alternate Earth. It just rubs me wrong. (FWIW, I also didn't like them just using "dybbuk" either.) I don't need to know the lore of "moff" but I can get it from context.

I unironically love the Flesh Gordon poster. XD

Jesus. It's terrifying to me how much better it's getting at stealing shit, though. T__T I hate it so much.

Crazy how with these people it's always AI that's "here to stay like it or not" and never like gender affirming medical procedures or something

GenAI truly was the worst technology to come along at this moment.

An energy and water guzzler when we most urgently need to take climate action.

A disinformation machine as our journalism fails.

A bias machine as fascism takes root.

A job killer in a cost of living crisis.

Bria "tries to write a book" Horses @thevoidencore.bsky.social · 5d

The "cognitive decline and brain damage from repeat COVID infections" and "easy to use robot that makes slop and melts your critical thinking skills" is a hell of a combo in a post-fact media ecosystem
