I will be including "formerly princegeist" in descriptions and stuff for a while, to hopefully cause as little confusion as possible.

I'm very happy with the new name though and excited to move forward. princegeist was a great name, but I feel this new one reflects the current me much better.

This is the creator I learned about this from by the way, but there are many people talking about the issue. I sincerely hope that tiktok and youtube backpedal on this or at the VERY least, allow people to opt out. This is insane.

How Artists Discovered YouTube’s Hidden Ai Filter That Ruins Drawings

Just learned that youtube is trying to sneakily use AI to process and "upscale" videos that are uploaded to the platform, thus ruining a ton of people's art and forcing AI-slop down people's throats.

I'm so tired guys.

How do I explain to offline people that my favorite Japanese mascot said "we can only be liberated from queer oppression if we are truly seen as human" and then started wielding fireworks like a rocket launcher on the side of a mountain without sounding like I've totally lost it?

Chiitan has a dream.
I hope that one day the term LGBT will become a thing of the past.
I will continue to spread my message until we live in a world where everyone can love freely and is free from persecution and discrimination.
Until then, let's all support each other🤍

A bust illustration of my OC Smith laying in grass with flowers on him. He has a white lily in his hair on the right, with a purple petunia on the left, a peach-y colored begonia over his right eye, forget-me-nots/scorpion grass on his neck, a red poppy on his chest (vaguely around his heart- i was struggling with placement), and yellow buttercups scattered across his shirt.
His blue hair fans out on the ground a bit, and his right hand is relaxed near his head. There's dappled light shining down on him as he looks up.

the entire comic is, however, fully drafted!! it's just a matter of waiting until my house is fixed so I can go home and use my actual computer to draw instead of the laptop I'm borrowing to code right now LOL </3

but, it shouldn't be too long they said! maybe a week. here's hoping!!

Patchouli @patchoulibard.bsky.social · 5d

right now on the main site, the home and about page is done, but I'm making quick progress on a music/video archive as well.

the comic has a few pages live at the moment, I would've liked more but I'm dealing with emergency repairs on my home so I haven't been able to draw - but I'll get there!!!

Patchouli @patchoulibard.bsky.social · 5d

sidenote, I've actually made great progress on the site - the main area is fully functional and ready to go, and the site hosting my comic (The Forest Deep) is also just about ready to go!

I should have a working link ready for you guys in the coming days so you can get a peek at it all!

only preview of my website progress youre gonna get /j

a tiny screenshot of my website that says "Section Title" "french fry (oo) on the freaking ground" "am i gonna eat it? (no!) it's dirty and brown" -- which is a reference to a deltarune meme.

we need justice for bleet / beet

Patchouli @patchoulibard.bsky.social · 11d

it does come from the sky part but bleet is cuter yeah. or even just beet. i saw a post that said "please RS" and i was really confused lol - I think if it was bleet or beet it would translate easier because "please RB" can stand for "please reblog" as well which means the same thing as retweet/etc

Patchouli @patchoulibard.bsky.social · 11d

WHAT i wish that stayed. i could've made so many goat jokes. also i don't really like skeet LOL

Patchouli @patchoulibard.bsky.social · 11d

additional alternate timeline where it ended up as Bleet because BLuesky and we yelled at each other like goats

alternate timeline where instead of replacing "tweet" with "skeet", it was "beet" because Bsky and we all had memes about beets the vegetable

I try to focus this account so it's for my readers, but hey writers:

NEVER sign a contract where the publisher keeps your rights indefinitely. For short stories, there should be a point when you can sell reprints.

and NEVER sign your movie/TV/etc adaptation rights to a publisher. Those are yours.

needless to say im having so much fun with The Forest Deep's rewrite. can't wait until I can drop that on y'all

Patchouli @patchoulibard.bsky.social · 12d

I love being in the middle of writing a scene and suddenly having a story-changing idea that makes me stop in complete shock and cackle like

a cartoon character is looking out a window at a burger king

Give folks their flowers

No, I mean right now. Go tell someone you loved their work right now. They're on social media just say it, it has never been easier

"They know how much people love--" no they don't go say it right now to a composer or artist or game dev or writer or anyone AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH

Murlin @murlin.bsky.social · 13d

From bravewave.net/interviews/t...

Mo: Do you remember the first time you met someone who said they loved your work on Mega Man 2?

Tateishi: You’re the first, in 2013. No one else has.

Mo: Wow. I’m surprised. I don’t even have a follow-up question… how could no one come up and say something.

Tateishi: …

Mo: Now that you know how big Mega Man 2 is outside of Japan, do you look fondly back at the soundtrack?

Tateishi: Yeah, my thoughts have changed since I met you and became more aware of how people felt. But even when I was at Konami, I didn’t even bother telling anyone I did Mega Man 2. So the fact you came all the way to Japan to tell me these things makes me very happy I worked on the game all those years ago.
