The GOP caved. The Dems caved. Wall Street caved. Big Law caved. The Ivy League universities caved. The DOJ caved. The FBI caved. The media caved. At America's moment of crisis, the only ones who stood strong against tyranny were the furries.

Hello, hello.
Earlier this year, after some medical appointments, my medicine costs hiked a lot. The job search has also not panned out yet. I've incurred a little bit of debt because of these expenses and would like to ask for some help.

Sending good energy for Gouto! ❤️
In case you haven't tried it yet, here we use Churu as a way to facilitate giving medicine to cats, and when my senior cat was sick and needing some extra care on her diet the vet recomended this food and she finally eated something. Hope Gouto like it too

Volume 3 shows a young dragon frolicking as it breathes wisps of fire. Volume 4 shows and adult dragon stalking directly toward the viewer in a menacing prowl.

Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want.
To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough,
, just so
other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it.
Gross.

And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future. Al is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.

fanart of Melinoe from Hades 2, wearing a modern outfit (dark jeans, orange top), she has a big tattoo on her right arm, and is about to tie her hair with a hair band (is this how it's called in english ?)
her eyes are closed, she has nice arm muscles and looks extremely lesbian

#VGen commission for Asteria - thank you so much for everything! 💛💛💛

#art #comms #VGenComm #BlackDesertOnline

Digital painting commission in colors, fully rendered / mimicking traditional textures. It depicts the commissioner's OC, Aetherhis, thigh-up. She's a white young elf woman wearing a fantasy armor, golden and full of jewelry and coins. Her hair is long and dark brown, and she's looking down at a black crystal floating between her palms, turned up, a soft smile on her lips. Behind her, we can see the arms of a Black Spirit (Black Desert Online supernatural entity) - a pair of hands wearing silvery/iridescent metal gauntlets and a black cloak with golden embroidery. The Spirit has the hands near Aetherhis' face, tenderly. Circling around her head, there's a halo of golden stars, mimicking a gold foil texture

Authors & publishers posting abt illustrated books or using an illustrator's work to promote a book, pls credit ILLUSTRATOR.

Not only are you helping boost artist but it shows people that you or your publisher hired a HUMAN artist.

Large blue text reads, “Why do so many book people keep forgetting to credit illustrators?” Beside the text, a roundish blue winged horse contains the text “#Pictures Mean Business.” At the bottom is the credit: “Illustration: Sarah McIntyre along with a website link.

i reference Dream Askew / Dream Apart SO frequently when editing, giving design feedback, etc. & it's such a shame how few have played it relative to other indie games. it's such a groundbreaking set of systems & is upstream of basically every narrative TTRPG since it released. you GOTTA know it.
