#snappy’s art tag

💫 Comet: a small celestial object with a core of ice, a leftover from the formation of a star.

Seeing one is historically considered a bad omen—inspiring fear, awe, and dread in those who witness it.

here, have some more doodles for that Raine/Eda swap AU from last week

in which Luz and Raine run into Darius at Covention and Luz accidentally gets caught in the crossfire of a +30-year-old grudge, oops

honestly I think it would be funny if, unlike Eda, Raine 100% throws Luz into the duel with zero preparation in an attempt to show up Darius, only for them to very quickly change their mind the second they see the size of Amity's abomination, lol

#my art #the owl house #toh #toh au #ooh and i just thought of a snappy au tag for this one: #the foxwitch apprentice (au) #because raine doesn't have a house but they do have a kickass sobriquet

tape deer is finished!!! after some fiddling by trimming down the hooves and beefing up the ankles, he actually balances surprisingly well now.

+bonus angles of the beast

and (by suggestion of @wickedcitrus), the tape rolls sacrificed to the tape deer

#howling #art tag #also technically it's more accurate to call this a mixed media deer instead of a tape deer but that's not as snappy #the base was an extremely basic wire armature bulked up with some newspaper and a fuckton of tape #and then smoothed down/hardened by smearing the whole thing with glue lol #ALSO technically not ALL the tape rolls in the last pic were for the deer since there were other people making different tape sculptures #and some of mine got thrown away #but I did go thru at least 4 or 5 rolls for this guy #and I wanted to show off how he ended up really well balanced which im SUPER proud of haha #before the last few alterations it could barely stand for more than a minute or two before toppling over #but now it stays upright and can even withstand being nudged around a bit!!! wow!!!!

GUYS I FIGURED IT OUT. THE ARCHERFICATION OF LINK CLICK

#not tagging this either lmao #archer fx went from silly show best known for their snappy dialogue to a show with incredible setpieces and art at the expense of the scrip #link click went from a show where its characters were the central focus to a show that looks beautiful and has a very interesting plot but #its at the expense of the first thing #and they're both great! it's just that they're both great at different things now

There’s a Reaper haunting him.

He looks at the portrait of his brother, works in the office that was once his brother’s, and the Reaper wraps cold and emaciated fingers around his throat. He searches for distractions, he is given ample distraction in the way of wine,  any distraction, to keep from thinking of that Reaper.

There is a Reaper on the loose in the city of London, but that is not the one who haunts him at every waking moment. Not truly. He allows the media to call him that Reaper, he wears it like a cloak to make the criminal world fear. The gesture of protection is meager at best, and his brother looks down at him in silence.

His brother, the ever-present Reaper, a thought he can’t bear to face.

He turns his thoughts to the Japanese exchange student who murdered his brother, he drinks the wine he stores in his office, the portrait of his brother stares silently over him, and he stays far away from the courts in some desperate hope that the Reaper will finally lay itself to rest.

But he is not allowed to have things so easy.

And oh, does he resent his return to the courtroom. A foreign nobody, barely off the boat for a couple of hours and standing within the hallowed walls of the Old Bailey making a mockery of the law, using archaic techniques... He seethes and resents, especially when the young man has the audacity to demand the truth.

(He ignores the burning in those eyes, the immature fangs gripped tight on the lies. It doesn’t matter; they were both too late to stop the gears in motion.)

The young man is scared and not scared of the Reaper. He’s a fool and surprisingly clever. He is untrained and intuitive. There is a fearsome power coiled just under the surface of this young man, waiting to be realized.

He has to push those thoughts away, lest he expose the same weakness his brother did before him.

He drinks.

He struggles against the inevitable.

He does not turn to look at the Reaper following in his shadow.

Despite it all, he’s very well aware that closing his eyes and ignoring the facts does not make them go away. It only takes three trials against the young man to see the truth. He can pretend, he can deny his growing respect, but this Japanese boy acts in defiance of those who would tell him no. He will obtain the truth, no matter what it may be, and he will tear through any obstacle that dare stand in his way in court.

Londoners tremble over stories of the Reaper of the Bailey.

They should be concerning themselves over the wolf that has come to their city.

He looks at his brother’s portrait and wonders if the wolf could save him from the Reaper haunting memories he isn’t prepared to examine.

Witchblr has such a problem with stolen art and graphics I almost always want to reblog original content on principle but the amount of times some new art or something has shown up and it suuuuucks 😫 please I can't be uplifting about the effort with this

#im such a hater #u.u #and for clarity i dont mean bad art as in low skilled #never in a million years do i mean that #i mean like its some snappy sarcastic bumper stick esque WeRe The GrandDaugthers Of The Witches yOu Couldnt BuRn type stuff #reskinned girlboss feminism ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯ #all of witchblr obviously isnt like this its just annoying how often the new posts in the various tags are this

Galaxy: a fundamental structure of the universe. A massive system of stars and interstellar matter bonded by a mutual gravitational point, separated from other such systems by even more massive voids of space.

I think these characters that appeared for twenty seconds deserve to have a poster-style piece done for them. I hope all four fans of these guys enjoy ⭐️

AO3 First Lines

Rules: Post the first lines of your last 10 fics posted to ao3. If you have fewer than 10 fics posted, post the first lines of all your fics.

I was tagged by @the-lincyclopedia! Not feeling in a tagging mood so I'm gonna make this a "consider yourself tagged" situation.

The Gilded Cage. (Blackbird Song)

“Welcome to Cups ‘n Crullers!" (A Double Shot of Sunshine)

Like everything else about me, my memory is pretty average. (Interrupted Heists, Dentist Visits, and Other Romantic Dates For Your Fake Husband)

Luke circled above the tower, letting his shadow fall over Elliot and his dwarf student. (Letters From Luke)

“I am keeping thee from thy rehearsal." (As long as thou com'st back)

Winter in the Little Peninsula bore little resemblance to the same season in Ianna-Ir. (Winter in Roa)

“Welcome back. Now fucking help me.” (Notes, twisted every way)

“Oh fudge this!” (A Fire Within)

“I’m sorry, it’s what?” (Baba Yaga's Bequest)

<opening secure feed channel> (Saw you down at the space bar)

#tag memes #what I'm learning here is that I like starting with short snappy bits of dialogue #also technically space bar is REALLY more art than it is fic #but it does have a bit of a ficlet on there so I'm counting it #also I'm very amused that one of the quotes is shorter than the story title

I’m Declaring War Against “What If” Videos: Project Copy-Knight

What Are “What If” Videos?

These videos follow a common recipe: A narrator, given a fandom (usually anime ones like My Hero Academia and Naruto), explores an alternative timeline where something is different. Maybe the main character has extra powers, maybe a key plot point goes differently. They then go on and make up a whole new story, detailing the conflicts and romance between characters, much like an ordinary fanfic.

Except, they are fanfics. Actual fanfics, pulled off AO3, FFN and Wattpad, given a different title, with random thumbnail and background images added to them, narrated by computer text-to-speech synthesizers.

They are very easy to make: pick a fanfic, copy all the text into a text-to-speech generator, mix the resulting audio file with some generic art from the fandom as the background, give it a snappy title like “What if Deku had the Power of Ten Rings”, photoshop an attention-grabbing thumbnail, dump it onto YouTube and get thousands of views.

In fact, the process is so straightforward and requires so little effort, it’s pretty clear some of these channels have automated pipelines to pump these out en-masse. They don’t bother with asking the fic authors for permission. Sometimes they don’t even bother with putting the fic’s link in the description or crediting the author. These content-farms then monetise these videos, so they get a cut from YouTube’s ads.

In short, an industry has emerged from the systematic copyright theft of fanfiction, for profit.

Project Copy-Knight

Since the adversaries almost certainly have automated systems set up for this, the only realistic countermeasure is with another automated system. Identifying fanfics manually by listening to the videos and searching them up with tags is just too slow and impractical.

And so, I came up with a simple automated pipeline to identify the original authors of “What If” videos.

It would go download these videos, run speech recognition on it, search the text through a database full of AO3 fics, and identify which work it came from. After manual confirmation, the original authors will be notified that their works have been subject to copyright theft, and instructions provided on how to DMCA-strike the channel out of existence.

I built a prototype over the weekend, and it works surprisingly well:

On a randomly-selected YouTube channel (in this case Infinite Paradox Fanfic), the toolchain was able to identify the origin of half of the content. The raw output, after manual verification, turned out to be extremely accurate. The time taken to identify the source of a video was about 5 minutes, most of those were spent running Whisper, and the actual full-text-search query and Levenshtein analysis was less than 5 seconds.

The other videos probably came from fanfiction websites other than AO3, like fanfiction.net or Wattpad. As I do not have access to archives of those websites, I cannot identify the other ones, but they are almost certainly not original.

Armed with this fantastic proof-of-concept, I’m officially declaring war against “What If” videos. The mission statement of Project Copy-Knight will be the elimination of “What If” videos based on the theft of AO3 content on YouTube.

I Need Your Help

I am acutely aware that I cannot accomplish this on my own. There are many moving parts in this system that simply cannot be completely automated – like the selection of YouTube channels to feed into the toolchain, the manual verification step to prevent false-positives being sent to authors, the reaching-out to authors who have comments disabled, etc, etc.

So, if you are interested in helping to defend fanworks, or just want to have a chat or ask about the technical details of the toolchain, please consider joining my Discord server. I could really use your help.
