The cosplayer known as Frostplay blocked me when I did nothing wrong but cosplay the same character. I hate cosplayers that think they're entitled and "claim" characters. Plus, I have receipts of all the shit you did to other cosplayers in the community. I'm not going to stay silent.
Currently waiting on her faithful followers to come after me with death threats.
Stay tuned for a very long blog post.

It's okay to wear the same cosplay you wore before to a different convention.
I don't get how people NEED to wear a new cosplay every single convention. It's okay to wear something you already have, or not wear a cosplay at all!
It ain't that deep. Just have fun!

One of my biggest pet peeves as a cosplayer is when someone tells me all the ways my cosplay is inaccurate, but their critique is based on a completely different version of the character.

Authors: please stop making Al character artwork. I know commissioning artwork is an expensive alternative, but come on. As writers, we should understand why other artists feel taken advantage of by Al.

It finally happened! My fanfiction was plagiarized.
I've read so many posts about how much it hurts to have something you worked hard on plagiarized, but I never could have imagined that it would hurt this much. I literally want to cry right now.
I was informed this morning that someone had posted a fanfiction that seemed to be really similar to mine. I checked it out and probably more than half is a straight copy of my own. And when I, and others, called the person out, they're lying and say they don't know me, they've never read my fanfiction, and it must be a coincidence or we must have similar writing styles. Just being purposely obtuse and dishonest.
I've already reported it, but I don't know how fast A03 will get to it and they literally said that if it gets removed, they're just going to post it again. I've never been so sad and hurt. I'm having an anxiety attack because of how upset I am.
Those who have had their work plagiarized, how did you deal with it?

So, deviantart is hosting an "Adoptables March Madness" event, where all 3 example adoptables are AI-generated. The entries in the replies to their promotional journal post are also swamped with AI-generated images. I'm speechless.😮
Every artist should leave Devianart. This place doesn't deserve your art anymore!
There are so many things I want to say about this, but seeing as comments speaking out are being hidden left and right, I'll bite my tongue and say simply this; shame on everyone who allowed Al-generated images to take over Deviantart.
I've spent so many years of my life on this website, and I've never felt so betrayed by a company/development team. This website was made for artists. Real people who put hours of time, effort, and skill into *hand-crafting* their pieces with love and pouring their souls into each one. Now, even with the option to "block Al images" from the front page and search, it's still littered with them anyway because so many people don't bother to tag their Al-generated slop, hoping people won't notice.
Art theft was already a prevalent problem for artists, and now we're supposed to just grin and bear it as every single one of these Al algorithms scrape our art so that techbros can make amalgamations without ever having to pick up a pencil and learn the skills themselves. This coming from the same crowd who used to harass digital artists and tell them they "weren't real artists" because "the computer made it for them" is absolutely rich. Apparently, it only applies when it's something that benefits *you*.
On top of all of this, and even worse still, you cannot* legally own an Al-generated image, which means you *cannot* legally own an Al-generated design, even if you draw more art of it. Creating and selling Al-generated adoptables is a 100% scam, as neither seller nor buyer has any actual copyright of the design. Making an entire event based around adoptables-which has been a staple of Deviantart culture for many, many years, and using nothing but Al-generated characters is the biggest slap in the face I have ever seen. The current Deviantart team has continued to surprise me over and over with the sheer amount of disregard for their userbase they seem to have. It's actually, truly insane.
I and many other users have been unhappy with Deviantart's direction since the implementation of Eclipse, and I finally had enough and removed all of my artwork from this site when they first started their foray into Al-remember when everyone was automatically opted in to have their artwork scraped, and had to fill out a form* in order to get their usernames opted out? I do- and I'm glad I did. I want to say I hope someone sees some sense in the future, but I highly doubt this website will ever truly recover. All I can say is, thank you, to the actual artists* that made my childhood here fun all those years ago, and I hope you find another website that will appreciate you in a way that Deviantart clearly doesn't.

Your writing does NOT have to be perfect!
No matter if you keep it simple or use lots of prose, whether you prefer more dialogue or more descriptions, or if your sentences have few or many words, it doesn't need to be a literary masterpiece. Do what feels right for you. Do whatever you enjoy the most, and don't stress yourself too much about it because chances are, there will be people who like your writing regardless.

People whose hands and feet are always too cold, are people with anxiety or depression problems. This is because the heart is focused on pumping blood to the brain, since the people who suffer from this, their brain is never at peace, so the heart stops pumping blood to the extremities that are less important hearsays.
