My Twitter Has Been Officially WIPED. It Was Good While It Lasted, Now For More Time On Tumblr And Bluesky.

Hello! I apologize if this is a presumptuous question or isn't the right place to ask, but is there a place you share the css code for your AO3 skins? I was very excited about your Hesperus skin, but I couldn't find where you might post about your skins beyond progress posts.

I'm going to be posting the new skin on GitHub in the future.

Unfortunately, Hesperus has been cancelled. There were a lot of issues with it and things I don't like, and then my computer self corrupted its entire storage and I lost pretty much everything, most of Hesperus included.

I still have an older version of it, but that specific backup didn't have any notation, which is how I remember what parts of the CSS do what, and was long before I properly optimised its layout. Not to mention, it has some bugs present that weren't there a year ago.

If you really really want it. Here's a file I just put together with all three parts. And here's all the images it's linked to. Make sure to download them all because if I ever take it down to free up space you'll have to host and re-link them yourselves.

To get the mobile overlay to work, you have to add both the tablet (set as max-width 62em) and mobile (set as max-width 42em) skin as parents to the main skin, (they overlap to get to the correct layout).

And please 🙏 don't bug me about issues with it. There's a lot. I know. Feel free to try and fix them yourselves.

Edit: The fonts used on desktop that you need to install [Josefin] [Open Sans]. Not fully needed since I've set them to default to something else, but probably the best to use since I tested the layout most with them.

this code is supposed to be 'if the first character is dan, change background of the blurb to green' but all my attempts have failed so far D:

.blurb:has(li.characters:first-of-type a[href*="Dan" i]) {

background: green !important;

}

do you think this isn't possible or is my syntax just wrong ?

I thought this was impossible for a good while, but ended up figuring it out! Use the following:

.blurb:has(.relationships + .characters a[href="Dan" i]),.blurb:has(.warnings + .characters a[href="Dan" i]) {background: green!important;}

And here is my understanding of what went wrong

Behold, an angel

AI DISTURBANCE "OVERLAYS" DO NOT WORK!

To all the artists and folks who want to protect their art against AI mimicry: all the "AI disturbance" overlays that are circulating online lately DON'T WORK!

Glaze's disturbance (and now the Ibis Paint premium feature, apparently. Not sure.) modifies the image on a code-level, it's not just an overlayed effect but it actually affects the image's data so AI can't really detect and interpret the code within the image. From the Glaze website:

Can't you just apply some filter, compression, blurring, or add some noise to the image to destroy image cloaks? As counterintuitive as this may be, the high level answer is that no simple tools work to destroy the perturbation of these image cloaks. To make sense of this, it helps to first understand that cloaking does not use high-intensity pixels, or rely on bright patterns to distort the image. It is a precisely computed combination of a number of pixels that do not easily stand out to the human eye, but can produce distortion in the AI's “eye.” In our work, we have performed extensive tests showing how robust cloaking is to things like image compression and distortion/noise/masking injection. Another way to think about this is that the cloak is not some brittle watermark that is either seen or not seen. It is a transformation of the image in a dimension that humans do not perceive, but very much in the dimensions that the deep learning model perceive these images. So transformations that rotate, blur, change resolution, crop, etc, do not affect the cloak, just like the same way those operations would not change your perception of what makes a Van Gogh painting "Van Gogh."

Anyone can request a WebGlaze account for FREE, just send an Email or a DM to the official Glaze Project accounts on X and Instagram, they reply within a few days. Be sure to provide a link to your art acc (anywhere) so they know you're an artist.

Please don't be fooled by those colorful and bright overlays to just download and put on your art: it won't work against AI training. Protect your art with REAL Glaze please 🙏🏻 WebGlaze is SUPER FAST, you upload the artwork and they send it back to you within five minutes, and the effect is barely visible!

i scratch you, you scratch me 🤝 a pair of warm and cute Eohippus for this cold winter

actually you know what that's exactly it i would rather someone add 5 parantheticals after every sentence than use tone indicators it's 1. accomplishing SO much more in terms of clarity 2. extremely funny to look at depending on how they're used

Uh- are you aware of the meaning of proship?

Proship has never meant anything except a combination of three ideas:

Ship and let ship (your ships don't harm me and vice-versa) and YKINMK (your kink is not my kink, and that's okay; my kink stories don't harm you and vice-versa)

Harassment over fiction is not acceptable

Censorship of fiction is not acceptable either

Any other definitions are made by antis, not proshippers, and are an attempt at revisionism to justify harassment based on false claims.

Pixel art I did for my Niki Lauda fan-dragon. Depicted in his pre-1976 unscarred state.

An MLP AU? In this day and age? It's more likely than you think.

I also drew a version with the academy uniform and started on Viktor, but I ended up overwhelmed by the work, so, here's Just Jayce. Thoughts below, and stuff.

Jayce "Forged-Future" of House Talis

Mule with historic unicorn ancestry on his maternal side, which effects a lot when he started screwing around with raw magic and his X gene starts bit-flipping his alleles.

They get a personal name, a ceremonial name which is used unless you're friends, and a house name here, yay.

Bay with a minimal amount of tobiano expression. E/_ | A/_ | TO/n are his exact genetics, but that doesn't matter because:

Completely sterile due to his donkey/horse heritage, which he is debatably a result of procreation tourism of. I have 5k of world building for this, no I will not get into it now.

Talent-Marked after undiluted exposure to the arcane in the mountains. Talent-Mark form directly granted from Mage-Viktor, who only effected its creation form because he knows adult Jayce's talent-mark, which is only what it is because—you get the point: Jayvik Bootstap Paradox.

Chionophobic, as a treat.

Self-conscious about his ears. I'm sure he will do nothing drastic to them in about *checks watch* seven years.

Name and mark from @ / doe-drawz bc finding her mlp arcane art sent me on this spiral lmao.

genuinely going insane
