#idk how to handle this sigh

[unforth]

Encountered my first case of someone posting what is almost certainly AI art to the main danmei tags without any indication/warning/note that it's AI art.

Checked in with artist friends who know more than I do and got confirmation that they also think it's AI art.

Spent 30 minutes and had a minor anxiety attack over what to do next. 🤣

It's like...when someone is reposting, I know the signs and I know what to say but I don't have a mental script for this one yet you know? "Hey, I noticed that the hand in your piece has two palms and 7 fingers and since it's clearly not meant to be abstract either you really suck at art or you're lying that you made this and it's actually by a computer" is heckin' awkward to say to a stranger. I thought about contacting the biggest-name blog I saw reblogging it but while I've seen their name around, I don't know them and I don't know if they even mind AI art. I thought about reblogging because I want to spread the word so people who I know DO care but might miss the signs wouldn't get taken in, but I have a lot of followers and I don't want to put the "artist" on blast or risk them being bullied because of something I said. I want to block them and move on but if I block I won't even *see* if people I know and who wouldn't want to support AI work were getting taken in. I ended up just commenting on one of the pieces with basically what I said above - "isn't this AI art because of X?" I guess I'll see what happens next.

For the record, I figured it out based on things I learned from this post: https://www.tumblr.com/gailynovelry/706653767963197441/i-think-people-know-by-now-how-to-tell-if-an-image

And especially by looking at the hands and the decorative motifs. Because in these pieces, the details make no sense, and they also look extra weird when I zoom in.

If y'all are reading this and care about not seeing AI art treated as "real" art, I'd say please just educate yourselves on the tells as best you can and keep an eye out. Much like with reposters, you can only do what you can do, and no one is going to inspect every piece they see, but like these ones I saw were pretty fricken obvious and they still got notes. The first few fooled me, especially the couple that were just head shots. They had an ethereal quality that made me suspicious but nothing I could point out to support that suspicion, and I queued them before I saw one that I went. No that's AI. so just. Be on the look out, okay?

#unforth rambles #idk how to handle this sigh #i hope i picked a good option #if you want to try to spot it yourself #they posted like three pieces in tgcf one in svsss and one in 2ha #how many came out so quickly without any indication that they were xposting a backlog was also part of what i thought was weird #definitely not conclusive on its own but with everything else it was one bit factor

i understand that because of the runtime it couldn't be addressed properly but i still mourn not seeing dethklok's immediate treatment of toki post rescue. or toki's belated resentment upon realizing dethklok took way longer to save him than they should've because they were out partying while he hallucinated about them. like, that deserved at least a conversation. the mixture of relief and guilt within the other four because toki is alive and back with them but deeply scarred both physically and psychologically and maybe if they had acted faster it wouldn't be this way. them having the actual talk about toki not needing to incur to strangers for love because they do love him. and a lot. dethklok actually trying to work out the things that lead them to the current situation. i have hopes that after defeating salacia they will recover their memories and can properly heal from all that but i just. i wish we would've had a proper closure to toki's arc before rushing into the end of the world. again, i understand why it had to be this way i just. i mourn the possibilities.

#rambling #toki wartooth #idk lol i just #i was looking forward to how it'd be handled because FINALLY toki's trauma was being dealt with seriously rather than an off hand joke #and we just sped through that sigh #just wish toki could've gotten a scene where he's shown he's loved and appreciated by the band just like murderface did in aotd #even if he knows now. i wish he would've been told that. he deserved to hear it. #i rlly understand and my bitterness is towards adultswim honestly #but yeah #metalocalypse #dethklok

I’ve never been so obsessed with a character so bad that I literally can’t do anything else I’m like the squidward meme watching SpongeBob frolic outside the window stretching a hand out to all the pretty paintings and animations and comics I see in my head but being unable to feel any motivation for it . If only i could use the energy spent to create 20 kon doodles to sit down and concentrate on a single finished full piece I used to be able to make like 5 page comics what happened to me

#sighs yes before anyone says anything IK it’s probably adhd related 😭 #BUT ITS GOTTEN SO BAD I CAN FEEL THE DIFFERENCE IN MY BRAIN HOW DID IT GET WORSE #it’s probably a mix of burnout too but I don’t get tired of drawing ? #it feels like when u get dizzy or change glasses or so #and it’s either everything is wayyy too in focus and you can see literally everything clearly that it hurts ur brain #which doesn’t help given how saturated w information the world is always #and simultaneously somehow everything is blurry or out of focus and I physically have to strain myself to hone in on one thing #I JUST WANNA READ COMICS AND FINISH A DRAWING AND HANDLE WORK AND SCHOOL AND TALK TO MY FRIENDS #ALL IN OME DAY #BUT MY BRAIN IS LIKE. TODAY IS ONLY FOR COMICS. YOU CANT DO ANYTHING ESLE #😫🫶 I’m deleting this later I’m just ranting LMAO #I’m highschool it’s crazy bc I did okay and then honestly i just think my ability to concentrate has deteriorated as the years have gone by #free me!!! #either way I want to lessen my social media and just pick One bc girl I have an Instagram a tumblr and a twitter this is horrible for me . #honestly I’ll probably pick instagram and just post on tumblr when I have art #I already do that #I mean when I have Good art. #IM RAMBLING IDK

GET depression ? to an event #extent* #so idk how she'll take it #sigh :( #shh ac

next week i go abroad and have to convert all this to kilograms. not sure how that one is going to go especially because i’d really like to add 5 pounds to the squat and idk what increment plates the gym where i’m going will have

#evan says shit #gymposting #it would have to be like. 1kg plates on either side #but also how does 135 convert. 20kg plate on each side would be slightly less wouldnt it #and idk how the strong app will handle it #sigh.

don’t know how to handle ur ex girlfriend having invited u to talk and then yelling and pushing u and then she’s still talking to your friends when everyone (including her) knows that ur last ex did the same thing

#there’s no good way to handle this #i wake up every morning having a panic attack #everyone likes her #i don’t want her to lose anyone #idk how i feel anymore #sigh #my post

#ive been thinking about davenzi lately i miss them... #i kind of want to rewatch druck but i've also been too depressed to consume anything except bob's burgers for the past few months #idk i miss skam and the fandom (some parts of it. my friends) and i know i can dip back into it but it isn't really the same #i've been so out of the loop that i don't know if there's anything else still ongoing or in the works #i might check in on skam korea if it really happens #but i might not #it'll depend entirely on the timing of the release and if i'm feeling up to it honestly #but like doubtful that they will even do an isak season or that they would do it justice if it happens #and if they somehow do. my hopes are low for sana season #like unless they actually find good muslim consultants i reallyyyyyy doubt that sk is going to understand how to portray a muslim storyline #properly and without inciting pannchoa typical backlash lmao #there will be backlash regardless but. the show needs to handle itself with grace #sigh #things i want but probably can't have #skam korea #chatter

Venty stuff in tags ignore me I’m just screaming into the void about chronic pain/illness

#I road home with my mom from work yesterday and she just straight up asked how I was going to cope working full time #when part time takes such a huge toll on me physically #cause after working just 8-5 I’ll be bed ridden in pain for a good 12 hrs afterwards #she was like “listen I know you want to get a full time job but can you actually handle it? #BIG sigh #I feel so trapped cause idk man maybe I can’t handle that but do I really have a choice????? #I wish I could go to a doctor and get help and documentation so I can apply for disability at least #but hey guess what? I need healthcare to go to the doctor #and hey guess what else? I need a full time job to get healthcare #I’m in pain every day and so so so tired and I just want to work like everyone else and make money to fund my stupid little dreams #@ life hey throw me a bone dude I’m trying to fucking hard giving 110% every day and ain’t shit paid off for over 2 years #moss vents

get the feeling that the first few episodes of the season were chock full of kacy to make up for both sad, angsty kacy last season and to give us something to hold onto in light of this expected multi-episode lucy absence 

and if we're assuming the crossover (2x10) or the episode right after it to be the one when she'll be back, (she seems to be listed for ncis: la, but not the ncis: hawai`i episode), then we’re in for a month and a half long kacy hiatus, about 3 episodes or so (lucy could still vid-call or text and stuff, but there will still be a lack of her and it won't be the same 😭)

we know that both lucy and whistler are prone to spiraling/overthinking, and while yes, this is going to be a taxing 4-month long separation it would be hard for any couple to face, it rings a little hollow when they just moved in together and re-emphasized their commitment to each other and desire to be together all the time and as a viewer it’ll be hard for me to reconcile 3-4 episodes in reality being 4 months of time in the show

and it sucks that they seem to be leaning towards lucy conquering her fear of water off-screen. it’s disappointing because i don't want to see this type of tell, don’t show story-telling for a seemingly big part of lucy’s character, id prefer she do it with her team/family supporting her or having it be a big character moment on-screen (though, her going on the water for both jesse and whistler kind of was like that, it wasn't the highlight of those episodes or those scenes really, in Pirates, it starts off as an emotional thing that later turns into comic relief when they meet with Pike and we see her enormous life-vest). of course, there’s still a possibility that she comes back from this still deathly afraid of the water and having had a miserable time, but i don’t know if they’d introduce this storyline only for her to come back like ‘ugh it was awful i should have just stayed’ and brush over her time on the boat

there’s also a possibility this 4-month absence leads to the introduction of a lucy feeling anxious and worried about whether kate was messing around while she was away storyline, which obviously that type of storyline isn’t inherently bad, frankly im more surprised that hasn’t been brought up at all and they’ve been in a honeymoon phase, but like lucy said she has trust issues (and they laughed it off even though uhhh whistler you’re half the reason for that)

and to top it all off, she’s going to be aboard the Ronald Reagan, quite literally homophobia personified LMAO

#ncis hawaii #ncis hawai'i #kacy #lucy tara #im genuinely disappointed in this being the storyline for her absence lol #idk i dont think they built it up well enough #like all i got from the episode was that lucy had more reasons to stay than to go she didnt even seem that excited #and thats not even me being kacy biased lol #and not to be a conspiracy theorist but yas hasnt really been shown in bts or that veterans day video they put out while filming 2x12 or 13 #so uh do we know when lucys really going to be back lol #idk idk idk! i guess ill have to see how they handle it when she gets back but thats not gonna be for....a long while sigh #ive slept on it and im.fine now LMAO it is what it is and kacy was so sweet this ep

#today in things that stress me out. my academic interests have diverged significant from what i do in the lab #which is nice on one hand bc i am v passionately interested in something sciency again and it feels like its been a while since that #happened. but on the other hand it means that my workaholic tendencies are no longer being applied to my actual job #like im kind of just doing normal hours for like actual job stuff. which stresses me tf out bc i never feel like im doing enough #and my overdoing it has transfered over to drawing way too much in one sitting while listening to paleo podcasts and trying #to memorize the geologic time scale #so im still overextending bc im focused all the time and i dont sleep enough but its not applied to my job #and part of my brain cant handle that so it forces me to suffer no matter what. sigh. stupid exhausting brain #and i know im being irrational about it which somehow makes it worse #but idk i guess maybe its a little more healthy bc im trying to do something i like in my free time. even if im still overdoing it #like idk if i can express how exhausting it is to like something but ur brain forces u to think abt it all the time and feel guilty abt #thst being ur focus but u cant help it. and its like grinding chalk into the sidewalk. i just burn out on the things i like so fast #bc i cant regulate. im astounded that ive been on this narut0 kick for like 7months bc so often my obsession makes me so tired #but here i am. still staying strong dattebayo hahaha. nah it has been nice not to find anything new tho lol #sigh... idk i just got way way too close to like full on mental collapse with my photosynthesis measurements so im trying to get the #warmth back into my body before i have to jump back into that frozen water #i think i have at least another month before the machines get back and then ill have at least 3 or 4 projects to run samples for #was it wise of me to agree to doing all that? no absolutely not. but the data will be interesting #and itll be helpful. and literally no one else wants to do it so here i am. damaging myself for science. ay ay ay #whatever. im going off to do field work next week with my boss so maybe thatll get me out of my head #unrelated
