ai covers make me so uncomfortable dude. like i know hearing characters or creators sing songs is cool cause its like wow youve never heard them do that that sound cool but like man if that was my voice and people did that id be fucking ill. that would make me so anxious that people were using my voice to make whatever they wanted to hear even if it was nothing malicious. ‘wow that sounded so good, x has so much potential if they did this!’ well they didnt. because they didnt want to. and it wouldnt sound like that anyway cause its fucking ai. but you made them do it anyway i guess

I’m a voice actor. This is my worst fear.

Having your voice stolen by AI is not just terrifying to me because my voice is my job, it’s also terrifying because THAT IS MY VOICE. That is my literal voice. How I communicate day to day. My biological instrument that I play. It’s not yours to take! It’s not a toy for you to play with! You can use that to pretend to be me and I have no way of definitely getting it removed from the AI database now WHY would you do that to someone what is wrong with you???

A colleague of mine, who voiced an UNDERAGE character, had her voice stolen for a song with adult content. She reported the song multiple times, but trolls kept reposting it. the caption read (paraphrasing) ‘haha, we can do whatever we like, we don’t care if voice actors lose their jobs, it’s funny so we’ll keep doing it.’ that is the mentality of these people. They genuinely don’t care about the impact it has on the victim. My colleague could be impersonated for fraud, her voice could be used for ANYTHING, those clips she never recorded could lose her work in the future or be used to smear her and she has no recourse at all. The FUCK is wrong with these people.

Not to mention that AI voices were trained on voice clips stolen from the internet without the owners’ knowledge or consent, or that they’re already being used to replace human actors and their years of training with a worse, amoral alternative. It’s just another tool for the rich to get even richer.

All you need to clone someone’s voice with AI is eight seconds of clear audio. If you have any videos on social media, on YouTube, on TV, your voice can be stolen. This software should already be banned but the fuckwits in charge couldn’t legislate their way out of a paper bag so here we are.

STOP USING AI VOICES.

message to cis allies: buying your trans friend lunch will do much more good for the trans community than debating transphobes who will not change their minds publicaly on social media and making all your trans followers see how much people hate them over and over again

if you base your trans allyship more on fighting with idiots than supporting and loving the trans community you may want to rethink things a little. bc i tend to get sick of when my cis friends want to talk more about how many people hate me than anything else about my transness.

Old, but still relevant

There was a young man from Peru

Whose limericks stopped at line two

There once was a man from Verdun

There once was a man from the sticks Whose limericks stopped at line six. They were fine till line five Then they took quite a dive — But the problem is easy to fix If you just ignore the last line, it doesn't even follow the rhyme scheme oh god I've really lost control of this thing I'm so sorry...

There once was a man

From Cork who got limericks

And haiku confused.

There once was a man from the sticks

Who liked to compose limericks

But he failed at the sport

Because he wrote them too short

@limerickshere

There once was a fellow named Dan, Whose poetry never would scan. When told this was so, He replied, "Yes, I know-- It's because I try to squeeze as many syllables into the last line as I possibly can."

On Tumblr did lasses and lads Their way with fail poetry had. You're having your fun But you're fooling no one - It takes skill to do something this bad.

tumblr staff have...

STOP GIVING THEM MONEY! stop trying to make crab day or whatever else happen. paying for stuff from the shop is rewarding them for ignoring the userbase continuously and doing things the majority don't want, even if the things they're doing and allowing can cause actual deaths. staff shouldn't be praised and get profit for ignoring their users in exchange for trying to turn tumblr into twitter 2 ft. tiktok. at this point i don't even care for "staff are people 🥺 be nice" arguments, because even when people are being very polite in feedback, they're perfectly fine ignoring it in exchange for implementing changes nobody wants or asked for, all because new users may like it more (and forget anyone who's used the site for years, apparently).

leave bad reviews. don't buy things from the shop. send feedback, even if they never reply. email them and @ the staff, send asks to the wip blog. don't just blindly buy into "we need to support the site, buy xyz shop product", they don't deserve more money for giving a worse product.

crab day baffled me. "show staff they can survive off user donations!!!!!" no you dumb fucks you're showing staff they can do literally whatever and braindead morons will throw money at them for no reason but misguided hope in the humanity of a corporation

Every day Road Work Wizard fills in potholes and every night Dark Road Work Wizard crafts new ones

[image description: art of two beings. both beings are short, entirely black, and somewhat fuzzy. their eyes are blank white circles. both of them are wearing a traffic cone hat, safety vest, long sleeves, and gloves. each of them is holding a sign. the one on the left is the road work wizard. their clothes are in full color, with an orange cone and high-visibility yellow vest. the sign they are holding is a conventional “stop” sign. the being on the right is the dark road work wizard. their clothes are colored entirely in shades of dark gray. their traffic cone hat is bent slightly. they are also holding a “stop” sign, but the sign is dark gray, the pole is bent, and the words, “It’s your decision,” are written on top of the original sign’s “stop.” end image description.]

i learned that there's a Japanese beetle that when eaten by a frog will haul ass through its digestive system and escape out the back end unscathed (x)

100k notes and I get the jerma womb tattoo

the tattoo in question

Sakura, northen lights and star cats✨

According to official artwork, quirrel and hornet have black eyes, vessels have sunken eyes (potentially empty eyeholes) and the king has a third, more fucked up thing going on

A friend had already made an image like this some years ago, but I wanted to make my own version with more examples

From top to bottom:

- Pure Vessel in the Gods and Glory trailer, Hornet in one of silksong posters and the knight in one of godmaster posters

- The Hollow Knight, Quirrel and Hornet in the Quirrel prequel comic

- Pure Vessel, Quirrel, Hornet and the knight from the collector's edition card set

- my summary diagram depicting the three different types of eye, the Pale King as depicted in the Pale Court track poster (the official track from Gods and Nightmares soundtrack, not to confuse with the mod "pale court" (fanmade dlc)), Hornet in the cover for silksong soundtrack samples and the knight as depicted in the cover for the original game's soundtrack

To be seen...
