tumblr has an AI toggle you should turn on to prevent your work being shared with training models/etc! it's under settings (gear icon) & then visibility.

My contribution to #Mermay2024
I'm also using the Nightshade and Glaze programs by The Glaze Project to help protect my art from being stolen by AI due to Meta's new measures.

Anyways, The Spiderwick Chronicles was 100% responsible for me being as into fantasy as I am today, and trying to mimic the art of Tony DiTerlizzi was 1000% responsible for my art style, so this is a Tony DiTerlizzi appreciation post.

AI models can seemingly do it all: generate songs, photos, stories, and pictures of what your dog would look like as a medieval monarch.
But all of that data and imagery is pulled from real humans — writers, artists, illustrators, photographers, and more — who have had their work compressed and funneled into the training minds of AI without compensation.
Kelly McKernan is one of those artists. In 2023, they discovered that Midjourney, an AI image generation tool, had used their unique artistic style to create over twelve thousand images.
“It was starting to look pretty accurate, a little infringe-y,” they told The New Yorker last year. “I can see my hand in this stuff, see how my work was analyzed and mixed up with some others’ to produce these images.”
For years, leading AI companies like Midjourney and OpenAI, have enjoyed seemingly unfettered regulation, but a landmark court case could change that.
On May 9, a California federal judge allowed ten artists to move forward with their allegations against Stability AI, Runway, DeviantArt, and Midjourney. This includes proceeding with discovery, which means the AI companies will be asked to turn over internal documents for review and allow witness examination.
Lawyer-turned-content-creator Nate Hake took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to celebrate the milestone, saying that “discovery could help open the floodgates.”
“This is absolutely huge because so far the legal playbook by the GenAI companies has been to hide what their models were trained on,” Hake explained...
“I’m so grateful for these women and our lawyers,” McKernan posted on X, above a picture of them embracing Ortiz and Andersen. “We’re making history together as the largest copyright lawsuit in history moves forward.” ...
The case is one of many AI copyright theft cases brought forward in the last year, but no other case has gotten this far into litigation.
“I think having us artist plaintiffs visible in court was important,” McKernan wrote. “We’re the human creators fighting a Goliath of exploitative tech.”
“There are REAL people suffering the consequences of unethically built generative AI. We demand accountability, artist protections, and regulation.”

If you’ve ever wondered how reposting hurts artists- yesterday I found a post from 2012ish featuring one of my Sherlock/Doctor Who pieces. That post had 17,604 notes. It wasn’t my post. My post of that art had 0 notes.
Apparently I saw the post once when it was at 6k because an artist I admired reblogged it, but at that stage I was very unwell & not experienced enough with Tumblr to realise what effect it might have.
Looking through the notes now I see that in the six years since then-
Several people got the design as a tattoo.
A number liked it enough to want custom designs but didn’t know how to contact me so that’s approximately £300 I didn’t get a chance to earn.
Someone used that art in the front cover of a comic by accident and while the company fixed it after I contacted them that’s exposure that it’s far too late to capitalise on now.
If you like an artwork that you find off tumblr, please, please I am begging you search for the artist’s name and see if they do actually have a Tumblr you could reblogged from instead. If you’re an artist search your username(s) every so often to see if your work has been taken.
A few hundred quid might not seem like a lot, but that’s a few months of income for me

This piece tells the story of a young girl who sets out to build a fairy house in her yard while her family packs up their own home and explores some of the emotions surrounding moving houses.

I will forever respect Animorphs for tricking kids who are just really into animals to read a book series by going “Hey you, you daydream about what it’s like to be a dolphin or a bird or a wolf? Have I got a book for you!” and then slowly radicalizing them with 50+ books of “There are no winners in war. Whatever ‘victory’ you perceive comes at the cost of sacrificing your own morals and killing the part of you that is human. In the end you will resort to murder, torture and war crimes and the knowledge of what you have done will haunt you for as long as you live.”

Said Seelie to Unseelie Queen,
“What calls you to my court?”
Unseelie said, “There’s one small thing
which I would like to sort.
“You call yourselves the Seelie,
say you’re happy, lucky, blessed.
But when I bring up these few points,
you’ll see you’re not the best...
My narrative poem "The Faerie Queens" has been published in Page Turner Magazine and can be read here.
This poem features a discussion between the faerie queens of the legendary Seelie and Unseelie courts as they debate their similarities and differences.

Dear Thindelus,
By now you must realize I am not at home. What was so pressing as to merit you breaking into my tower eludes me, yet here you stand. If you were dedicated enough to spend what must have been at least 30 minutes dispelling my door enchantments, then I must assume that either someone has fallen gravely ill (If it is Mrs. Quiggleby, I send my deepest condolences. If it was Harold Rootwhisker, good riddance to him. The man couldn’t recite a spell properly if the spellbook read itself aloud for him to repeat—I would know, I saw him try.), or you have come to finish me off yourself...
My narrative letter “Thindelus” has been published in Page Turner Magazine and can be read here!
This piece explores the long sordid history between a pair of wizards as one bids the other a final, and somewhat pretentious, farewell.

Finished the big editing project that consumed my weekends, now to dedicate my weekends to my own WIP. (Remind me to never again take on freelance work during the school year.)
