PSA: Tumblr/Wordpress is preparing to start selling our user data to Midjourney and OpenAI.

you have to MANUALLY opt out of it as well.

to opt out on desktop, click your blog ➡️ blog settings ➡️ scroll til you see visibility options and it’ll be the last option to toggle.

to opt out on mobile, click your blog ➡️ scroll then click visibility ➡️ toggle opt out option.

if you’ve already opted out of showing up in google searches, it’s preselected for you. but you also have to opt out for each blog you own separately, so if you’d like to prevent AI scraping your blog i’d really recommend taking the time to opt out. (source)

[WIP] Twitter got it already, but here’s a Gregor Limbuscompany. I like him a normal amount

5 and 6 for the ffxiv asks?

5. Which, if any, of the major cities or cultures does your WoL/OC consider to be their childhood point-of-origin? Why did they leave? Do they go back and visit? How do they feel about coming from this place?

Sena is technically from the Steppe, but he left pretty young and doesn't remember it well. He spent some time just trying to survive, and doesn't really consider anywhere specific to be "home", which is a bit of a downer, but it's definitely in a "home is other people" sense.

He does go back there for story reasons (still working out the logic since Stormblood is his villain arc, admittedly), but it's a weird experience for him, which is made weirder by how much NPC dialogue there is specific to Xaela (Hien's "you may not have been born here" line actually really rubs him the wrong way).

6. Has your WoL/OC ever canonically fantasia'd to another species? Have they considered doing so? If so, what made them choose that species? How does that affect their relationships with those who were born as the species they changed into?

Sena has not; he's very protective of his horns and scales and losing them again would weird him out.

If he did Fantasia, he'd probably be a catboy. Not much reason behind this other than it just feels right.

Love video games with endings that make you feel like your brain’s gotten permanently rewired in some sort of way

No nuance

I'm alive, I made a post on Twitter a while back about this but I really don't check here as often as I should --

I'm having a lot of trouble with art (combined burnout, frustration with my style and how the studies - most of what I've been doing these days - are going, and a host of other stressors) and I don't feel very confident in my personal work right now. I don't want to officially announce a hiatus because I'm not sure myself if things are at that level, but I'm also not sure what to do right now.

I want to draw Sena (as in my WoL. I can name several others)! I want to talk about him!
