Time for the third part to the Futo mini-takeover! It's Casino time! This is one of those Casino Cover that end up sounding just a teeny bit sinister for some reason. I don't think I like it as much as my Village Cover of this theme, but it's not bad. What do you think would happen if Futo were to suddenly just appear in a modern casino lol
Y/n: *Listening to music from an artist who passed away.* “I just love their music so much. Their voice is so haunting, it speaks to my soul.”
Natasha: “That’s probably just their ghost hovering over your shoulder y/n. Your whole “it’s not a song it’s an experience” thing doesn’t apply when your actually experiencing being stalked by a ghost.”

Natasha:
Y/n: “Nat-”
Natasha: “Yes. You can sleep in my room tonight. No. We cannot stay up all night watching Bluey.”
I was scrolling on tiktok and came across a Bluey post, not unusual as I love Bluey, but this post specifically made my skin crawl. It was AI music using the voice of the young anonymous actress who voices Bluey.
The creators of Bluey have made a huge deal out of making aure that these kids stay anonymous because they understand how the industry can be so incredibly damaging to children. Their names aren't even public knowledge. These kids are not only kept anonymous so that they can live as normal lives as possible, but they are kept anonymous for safety reasons. I'm certain you've heard the horror stories of children being groomed and endangered because they become so popular so young. Ludo Studios is trying to keep these kids safe. Evidence below (source)
Hearing this kid's voice used without her consent, without her parents consent, even without her knowledge and endangering her like this is the most disturbing thing I've seen in a very long time.
The worst thing about this? Everyone in the comments was going on about how cute she sounded "singing the song" and that OP should "make a version with Bingo", who's actress is even younger than Bluey's voice actress. No one saw that there was something wrong with this. I am disgusted and horrifically disturbed.
"AI" isn't "Artificial Intelligence". There is nothing Intelligent about it. It is simply programs and computer mimicry that is marketed as "AI" as a selling point. It isn't truly learning from anything to be considered intelligent. It is taking what you put into it and mimicing that. It is wrong and a violation of someone's life 100% of the time.
If you are considering creating "AI music" or any form of "AI" content, please reconsider. You are causing so much more harm than you realise.
I am not the same person I was before seeing this scene in particular (Major Spoilers for The Sign!!!!!!)
[Video ID. A clip from the Bluey episode “The Sign,” Lazarus Drug by Megan Washington is playing which drowns out all other sounds and dialogue. Bandit looks sad as he’s about to open the drivers side door to the family car. Chilli is in the front passenger seat also looking sad. She looks at Bandit just as gets a call on his smartphone and silently excuses himself to take it. The phone conversation starts as Bandit walks around to the other side of the car from the front. He continues to the sidewalk a few yards away from the car. Chilli looks at Bandit right before the phone call ends and Bandit puts down his phone with a surprised look on his face. He slowly walks to the large “For Sale” sign in the front yard before ripping off the big yellow “Sold” sticker, which confuses Chilli and gets the attention of Bluey and Bingo in the car, Bingo with a raised brow looking confused. Then Bandit turns to look at his family in the car, contemplates for a moment, then dons a determined expression. He then turns back to look up at the “For Sale” sign with clenched fists as we see the sign tower over him, casting a shadow. After a moment, he looks level at the sign and then fiercely grabs the sides of it as Chilli, Bluey, and Bingo look on in shock. He starts to gradually pull it out of the ground with all his might with clenched teeth, a furrowed brow, and a slightly quivering lip. After he finally gets it out, Chilli, Bluey, and Bingo stare at him, eyebrows raised and mouths agape. As the lyric “as I start to break into a billion pieces” plays, Bandit looks backwards, turns a bit, hobbles backwards a bit, and then throws the sign into the middle of the cul-de-sac with what seems like a yell, looking down angrily at it. Zoomed in, Bandit pants for a moment before Chilli tackles him to the ground when the word “shatter” is sung in the song. From an aerial view, Chilli and Bandit are on the ground and Chilli seems to be crying into Bandit’s neck while he grins, putting a hand on her arm. End ID]
Time for the forth part to the Yukari Takeover! I was SO excited to see that this theme didn't get prematurely cut off because I REALLY wanted to make a Space Cover of this! This came out surprisingly joyous sounding and I LOVE it!!! This feels magical in the childlike sort of way if that makes sense. Like there's sparkling effects happening everywhere and you can't help but look in awe
here's a drawing my friends helped me with while i was high last night XD our adventuring party.... wizard furret... monk chao... cleric bingo... warrior firestar... druid fluttershy... actual dragoon estinien wyrmblood.... bard maisy mouse... and machinist shadow the hedgehog...
i want more friends on here but i am so so so shy and its hard for me to message people first, but if you like this post, it is because you’re okay with me messaging you and you want to be my friend (or at least chat sometimes!)
i’ll message you and try to be cool enough that you want to stick around, but at the very least it’d be nice to get to know some more people 🥰
