robin (2021) #5
something i just realized about the “you were my robin” / “we were the best” little moments between dick and damian is that damian’s already fourteen by this point, it’s been so long since they had their batman-and-robin dynamic, but it was still such an important time in their lives!!! they keep bringing it up and i love it!!

Blake dreams of a carousel.
Animals dance around her with painted wings and fantastic golden saddles. She stands among them – watching them go by. Such an elegant contraption decorated with jewels and lights. A skin of paint meant to disguise a skeletal contraption of iron poles and chain-work shackles. It creaks and groans as the gears twist and turn, moving it round and round and round. It doesn't sleep. It never stops. It just keeps turning, and turning, and turning, playing the same lively tune as animals leap and pounce over and under, over and under, over and under.
From upcoming chapter 18 - Moment of Peace, dropping this week!
Read Midnight Menagerie on AO3!

It's 1 AM. Tumblr scrapped its own content and is negotiating selling it to OpenAI.
The world is truly closing in on artists, which is less to say that I'll ever stop making art bc making art means life to me, but what part of that is going to be shared? I don't know. I seriously don't know...
It's the main reason I left twitter.
I am already sharing less than half of what I make here on tumblr nowadays, not because I don't want to, but what's the point.
I have so many horses; AI can't do horses and it sure as hell won't learn of the back of my work.
I have suggestive fanart that has no nudity in it whatsoever and i am so happy with; following the CEP thing even that has a chance to get flagged bc i've seen it be done to other artists.
I have 10 years worth of work here, i don't want to move. But half of my art got flagged all the way in 2018 and i didn't have the energy to appeal it.
Discord already is selling everything you send through it to OpenAI. Private discord server for art sharing just doesn't work.
So what's the point?
I'm tired...

so I was very sad about how the internet has a lot of fake tweet generators but no fake twitter profile generators for some reason? and then I remembered that there's usually illustrator file mockups of that sort of thing for graphic designers so I went and downloaded one (...probably I should have thought of that earlier...) but anyway here's what Laurence's profile looks like in the twitter AU a year or three into retirement:
and then later, around the time people really start following him without knowing who he is already:
