reblogging 9 months later just to say: nailed it
Tumblr media
I sketched this lineart in October 2022. Wrote several thousand words of the fic that goes with it in December 2022/January 2023. And then took six months to realize "by the time I get around to sharing this fic, the art will be so old that I'll want to redraw it."
So I splashed a bit of color on this, and I'm posting it as-is. Maybe in another 6-12 months I'll be ready to start posting the fic, then you can all look back on this and go "Ohhhh."

Fake screencap for the end of Here's What You Missed chapter 2. During a thunderstorm, the "triplets" all pile into the same bed to feel better.
(The background started with these efforts to make a bot generate a dark bedroom -- one of a bunch of posts I've made exploring what AI models are and aren't good at. For a full breakdown on which elements of the image are hand-crafted and which aren't, check out the Episode 2 "how I made this" process post on Patreon.)

What if...after Deadpool and Wolverine get past the events of their own movie...they settle down in an MCU-adjacent universe to have goofy team-up adventures?
The perfect time to take the Bendis run on a Bendis run.

Updated version of Steven's corkboard in the Cover of Knight universe, keeping track of "which Avengers know what about the Moon Knights?", after Reveals by Knight chapter 34.
Which means this is the version Layla uses as a reference (and perhaps...adds to?) throughout Here's What You Missed.

Erin watches Avatar, episodes 7-8
Finished off Book 1 of the live-action Avatar series! Then turned around and reread all of this “what if there was a forgotten Stargate on the Avatar planet?” crossover, which is more than 10 years old and still holds up shockingly well. The last 2 episodes are a close retelling of the last 3 episodes of the cartoon, arriving at the Northern Water Tribe and fighting off a siege. This arc was…

Faux VHS screencap to close out the first chapter of Here's What You Missed! The triplets and their mother, living a happy, idyllic suburban-family life where everything is normal and fine and nothing is wrong at all.

Generative AI model collapse in action: blue-tailed jackrabbits edition
For a while now I’ve been trying to track down some concrete demonstrations of AI “model collapse” in practice, instead of just people talking about it in theory. Finally, some papers! Paper 1: Towards Understanding the Interplay of Generative Artificial Intelligence and the Internet: “A few samples of the images generated with each version of the diffusion model are shown in Figure 3 for flowers…

Annotated Chapter 21 Page 25
Favorite comment on the original: “First stage is the aggressive BDSM realization and subsequent banging, second is short hair, the third is pants and the fourth is stealing from the mob. Obviously. God my coming out feels so lackluster now.”
Walker is a straight woman who’s old enough to be most of the cast’s grandmother, so she’s not at all in touch with the Queer Community and its trends — but she doesn’t have any special moral objection to gay stuff, either. She just never saw the point of it. To her, they’re just like everyone else: one more marketing demographic to exploit.
And, gosh, these are all such good Suit Looks. Inspired by the Reservoir Dogs walk, with a Leverage-esque slogan: “Let’s go steal a Being.”
Walker: Is that so.
Blake: She has a new haircut, too.
Walker: Then we can work with that.
Walker (thinking): I’m still not that familiar with the stages of lesbianism, so I’m going to assume this is normal.
Walker: Have Kara Lynn appear male for the occasion. Eastern European will go over best.
Jany: I can do that. Tell me why.
Walker: Because . . .
. . . you need to have a certain look when you’re about to steal from the Russian mob.

i rly like your new mk fanfic! not gonna lie, i have a similar idea and prepare it a year(forever). it's very happy to read your version! thank you for your writing, and then my lazy bone not need to write anything. your writing is sooooooo good. looking forward to its update! (˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶)
Hello, anonymous reader! Have you heard the fable of the Two Cakes?
Tumblr media
I'm glad you like the new fic! I've also been working on it for a long time now, and I'm really happy with it, and excited to finally get it out there and start hearing what readers think.
Also, you should totally post yours. Give the people more cake. Give *me* some cake I didn't have to make myself! (Let me be lazy too!)
I'm always up for reading new Moon Knight fic. And there can never be too much "doing something weird and different with the Hex concept" WandaVision fic.
And I'd love to read someone else's take on this fic idea. (Even if they start in the same place...I bet you anything that yours won't go in the same direction mine goes!)
Hope I get to see yours some day, and thank you for the message <3

the tech shenanigans will continue until morale improves
Peak irony, no notes: guess where the “You Wouldn’t Steal A Car” ad music came from. “But then, in 2007, he bought a Harry Potter DVD and to his surprise, there was his music in the anti-piracy ad at the beginning. His composition had been taken and used without his permission. In fact, it had been illegally used on dozens of movie DVDs, both in Holland and overseas. You probably have one at home…

omg I just read your new fic and ykw? u should screenshot it and post it on tumblr to make it *more authentic*
eh, "more authentic" would be if I recreated it on Actual Twitter!
Screencaps have a certain vibe, but I like the accessibility of just having it in plain screenreadable text as much as possible, you know? That's why I didn't make faux screencaps for the AO3 version in the first place.

Apparently there’s some people in fandom who think “deep, important, emotionally meaningful friendships between male and/or man-shaped characters” are marginalized and rare? So much that “any lobbying for more canon m/m romance” is a threat to the whole category’s existence?
Because…they’re not that rare. Or suffering from any lack of mainstream appreciation. They’re really, really not.
(At least 3 pairings in this photoset are so non-threatened by m/m couples that they, as straight best friends, got married for the legal benefits.)

iconic Encanto costume design
So there’s an Encanto musical stage show on Disney+, basically just a bunch of people performing all the songs live, with SFX partly done on big TV screens and partly by an ensemble of dancers. Most of the singers are dressed like the characters are in the movie, traditional Colombian outfits in bright colors with lots of embroidery. …and then Luisa walks on stage, and they full-on restyled her…

The two moons in Leif & Thorn are "the Sisters" in Iuilic mythology. Which means any time one of them eclipses the sun, (even Little Sister, who doesn't fully block it out) it's a party!
Normally the Sisters are drawn in really formal/traditional garb. For this, I did a modern redesign and put them in cocktail dresses.
Comes in two color variations. Support on Patreon to get the high-res versions!

I am very tired so here's a tiny crypto link post
I have made 2 whole phone calls today. Where’s my medal. Crypto rubbernecking opportunities are way down these days*, but here’s a few things I’ve saved: “Amy and David’s sure-fire* analyst predictions on crypto for 2024! (* within acceptable margins of error)” — plus a scorecard on last year’s predictions for 2023. David Gerard versus LLMs: “deeply disappointed, i asked gemini to write something…
