This look like fun if anyone wants to send me any characters!

If anyone wants me to say my opinion on a character with this bingo

they think wrestling for control looks high stakes and cinematic but they just look like this

Want to feel/look more like Cyberpunk's V, an edgerunner, or a Cyberpunk NPC in your day-to-day?

Use a concealer that is slightly darker than your shade and a thin/small brush to draw the lines that are on characters' faces. I think they're called EMP threading?

I've tried using black, brown, and white liquid liners, but, personally, they look too harsh on my face.

But I have a liquid concealer that is just a shade too dark for me. I use a small angled brush to draw the lines on my face using that concealer. It's more subtle than the liquid liner, which is what I prefer for casual looks.

If I am in low light, I like the black or white liquid liner just so it's easier to see, but for something casual, a slightly darker concealer works great!

river ward girlies I got u 🙏

River Ward is so babygirl.

I got one of the Cyberpunk 2077 art books (The World of Cyberpunk 2077) and I’ve been loving looking at all the NPC character designs.

Also is told that his girlfriend’s life is dependent on small hobbit men that he doesn’t even know if they are still alive.

aragorn's terrible, horrible, no good, very bad week:

the fellowship breaks on his watch

forced to choose who to follow

runs over 200 kilometers in under four days

thinks merry and pippin are dead

meets the reborn gandalf (a rare win), immediately has to do a 180 and ride to edoras

immediately after that needs to ride to battle

takes part in a battle which takes place over the whole night

gets maybe 20 hours of sleep over the course of the whole week

and, I cannot stress this enough, this is all still very far from over

V & some of her best boys.

Please be aware that the "opt-out" choice is just a way to try to appease people. But Tumblr has not been transparent about when has data been sold and shared with AI companies, and there are sources that confirm that data has already been shared before the toggle was even provided to users.

Also, it seems to include data they should not have been able to give under any circumstance, including that of deactivated blogs, private messages and conversations, stuff from private blogs, and so on.

Do not believe that "AI companies will honor the "opt-out request retroactively". Once they've got their hands on your data (and they have), they won't be "honoring" an opt-out option retroactively. There is no way to confirm or deny what data do they have: The fact they are completely opaque on what do they currently "own" and have, means that they can do whatever they want with it. How can you prove they have your data if they don't give everyone free access to see what they've stolen already?

So, yeah, opt out of data sharing, but be aware that this isn't stopping anyone from taking your data. They already have been taking it, before you were given that option. Go and go to Tumblr's Suppport and leave your Feedback on this (politely, but firmly- not everyone in the company is responsible for this.)

Finally: Opt out is not good under any circumstance. Deactivated people can't opt out. People who have lost their passwords can't opt out. People who can't access internet or computers can't opt out. People who had their content reposted can't opt out. Dead people can't opt out. When DeviantArt released their AI image generator, saying that it wasn't trained on people who didn't consent to it, it was proven it could easily replicate the styles of people who had passed away, as seen here. So, yeah. AI companies cannot be trusted to have any sort of respect for people's data and content, because this entire thing is just a data laundering scheme.

Please do reblog for awareness.

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.

In the mood to chat! If anyone wants, I wouldn't mind answering some asks!

I have to kiss a chiss this is not a want it's a need.

I want to open commissions at some point but I'm scared ASFGHRERGY

I don't want to use paypal directly (since i would have to display my full name or change it to a business ACC), and I've been maybe thinking about using Kofi. The 5% cut isn't awful to me, but it's paypal's just that I'm worried about. Still not super sure how much they actually take but that's just 'cause I'm stupid and not looking hard enough ASDFHNJHGR

Happy Valentine’s Day! Have a Theron.

Romancing Panam this, Romancing Panam that.

Where are the fellow girlies who want to BE Panam?

I'm having Corso Riggs withdrawal.

everything wrong with me can be perfectly explained by the fact that my taste in men ranges from corso riggs to malavai quinn
