The whole point of fanart, fanfics, fanworks, is to make it yourself, as a fan, out of love, passion, spite, horniness—whatever drives and inspires you, as a human, to create. GenAI has no place in fandom, and it's gross and disingenuous to include the usage of it, especially without disclosure,

A striking thing about articles I’ve read claiming to “study the effects” of generative AI on student writing skills and consumption of information is that (1) they nearly always find the effects are negative and (2) most “conclusions” are still written assuming that we must use AI, for some reason.

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

Thank you for the art share! 💜

Elden Ring inspired artwork depicting Godwyn, Prince of Death wielding Death Lightning. Facing away from him is his sibling Megaera, Goddess of Graves (my OC) in her Twinbird transition form. Both of them have a hand hovering around a golden aura of Grace. A faint image of an eclipse sits behind them.

Art of my Elden Ring OC, Grave Goddess Megaera. A leporine woman with amber eyes, long golden hair and purple fingertips dressed in purple, gold and silver. Miniature versions of Base Serpent Messmer’s winged serpents are curled around her hand and head. A spectral winged rabbit flies beside her. Grave Violets and Skeletal Flowers bloom around her.

Art of Revenant from Elden Ring: Nightreign with ghostly skeletal arms around her.

it’s always a lovely day when people realize weirdos are the backbone of any fandom and trying to make everyone “normal” kills everything enjoyable about it. fandom wouldn’t exist if people could be normal about things.

Ted Chiang:
"The task that generative A.I. has been most successful at is lowering our expectations, both of the things we read and of ourselves when we write [...]. It is a fundamentally dehumanizing technology because it treats us as less than what we are: creators and apprehenders of meaning."

You know, it's surprising what Netgalley will give you even with just a goodreads account with a few reviews? That's what I've been trying anyway.

Anyway, here’s your form of consent, Bluesky.

Meme from Parks and Recreation of Ron handing a paper to an officer and saying “Not to worry. I have a permit.”

Followed by a closeup image of the paper being held by the officer, edited to read:

“Every fictional character I’ve drawn and will draw having sex, has consented to being drawn that way. They told me themselves.”

I wanted to get a video of this ghost crab but every time I got close to their hole they scuttled back in, so I tried getting clever with it. I made a little sandcastle and shoved my phone into it, hit record, and walked away. Crab was VERY suspicious of this addition to their environment.
