WIP

Miss Lupescu - a werewolf, or as they called themselves, the Hounds of God. She acts as Bod’s guardian when Silas is away 🐺

The ghouls in The Graveyard Book take on the name of the first dead person they eat. There's another one called Victor Hugo that Bod meets later in the story. I just think they r super funny lol

Hi, Tumblr. It’s Tumblr. We’re working on some things that we want to share with you. 

AI companies are acquiring content across the internet for a variety of purposes in all sorts of ways. There are currently very few regulations giving individuals control over how their content is used by AI platforms. Proposed regulations around the world, like the European Union’s AI Act, would give individuals more control over whether and how their content is utilized by this emerging technology. We support this right regardless of geographic location, so we’re releasing a toggle to opt out of sharing content from your public blogs with third parties, including AI platforms that use this content for model training. We’re also working with partners to ensure you have as much control as possible regarding what content is used.

Here are the important details:

We already discourage AI crawlers from gathering content from Tumblr and will continue to do so, save for those with which we partner. 

We want to represent all of you on Tumblr and ensure that protections are in place for how your content is used. We are committed to making sure our partners respect those decisions.

To opt out of sharing your public blogs’ content with third parties, visit each of your public blogs’ blog settings via the web interface and toggle on the “Prevent third-party sharing” option. 

For instructions on how to opt out using the latest version of the app, please visit this Help Center doc. 

Please note: If you’ve already chosen to discourage search crawling of your blog in your settings, we’ve automatically enabled the “Prevent third-party sharing” option.

If you have concerns, please read through the Help Center doc linked above and contact us via Support if you still have questions.

Really excited to post this one cuz he's my fav character, my first brainrot, my crush when I was just a wee lad. He's Bod's guardian and to me, he's even more like a father to Bod than Bod's adopted parents themselves. I have a serious obsession w him ngl askjdhalsd. I do wanna draw more of him soon when I have the time :3

more Bod explorations. this is mostly focusing on chapter 4 of the book

It's my last semester meaning I'm drowning in schoolwork and have no time to sleep or draw anything Star Wars. So in the next few months, I'll post the project I'm working on in school here.

It's based on the book "The Graveyard Book" written by @neil-gaiman. I did the first version back in 2018, and then revisited them in 2021, and now I am revisiting them again cuz my style changed and I can never have enough of this book lol.

Starting off with some sketches of our little guy Nobody "Bod" Owens. Hope you guys enjoy the ride! And pls read this book if you haven't alr im begging

IM SO GLAD IM NOT THE ONLY ONE ON THE TRANSMASC MIZU TRAIN like they are SOOO transmasc coded, idk if it was intentional or not but like the binding (with bandages,,, but still, bINDING) and the distaste for being gendered as a woman and the attempts to fit in to traditional womanhood and then the rage at the system for forcing womanhood on him, punishing deviance from womanhood, and then punishing womanhood anyway and yet feeling a mixture of relief, fear, and guilt for escaping some misogyny by dressing as a man and yet the hyper vigilance of knowing that if anyone were to find out they aren’t a cisgender man they would be in grave danger—I have thoughts and feelings I’m so sorry

pls don't be sorry bcuz i too been rotating them in my head like a rotisserie chicken o(-( i was so surprised to see how transmasc-coded Mizu is, and even if they did not intend to make Mizu transmasc/non binary, the character designer specifically stated that he wanted to keep that nonbinary look for Mizu at the end of ss1 and boy am i glad to hear that like literally thank you good sir 🥺 https://www.instagram.com/p/C1m5szzpQlB/?img_index=1

What is this about the tumblr staff wanting to sell art data to midjourney?

An ex-colleague of mine mentioned yesterday that there may be contacts between Automattic and midjourney in that direction, but nothing is public yet and I don't have any more info. They probably won't have anything specific to share either, since they left the company weeks ago too. That being said:

I have no reason to doubt my ex-coworker word, they are a trustworthy person.

Tumblr's CEO has been absurdly enthusiastic (comically, even) about AI, and is a big fan of LLMs and 'AI' companies.

A deal with midjourney could solve tumblr financial issues (not the same company, but openAi is paying up to 5 million/year to news companies to use their content as training data... tumblr generates several orders of magnitude more content than any newspaper or any media company and it only would need a 20 to 30 million per year deal to be profitable)

So I don't have any extra info yet, but I'm keeping my ears open.

the last color commission from last year

just wanna see what my OC might look like in the Clone Wars style. It's prob not that close but I tried and I had fun :'D

Thank you for your service of giving Mizu trans tape, I worry so much for his poor bones. You draw them wonderfully!

Glad to be of service haha. Just looking at it alr had me in pain. I could barely tolerate proper binders in the tropical heat after 8 hrs at work idk how Mizu can breathe in them bandages let alone fucking fight a hoard of men o(-(
