Well I've taken to making these snippets haha, but I want this point of the convoy episode to be appreciated. Situation you are in a point of danger that you can't get out of your bot's vehicle form. How do you adapt that change so that none of your parts hurt the human inside. Even so the change is noticed by fowler(this is the good way, later i will do one of miko and bulkhead) Let's say imagine that you are in a roller coaster or the centrifuge of a washing machine, you would surely get dizzy (and if not, tell me the trick). Besides how optimus is all the time in a defensive position to fowler even leaving him with delicacy. I'm just saying imagine that with your favorite bot and being you… You feel that tingle eh? Because I do.

I heard the most horrifying thing the other day.

I was scrolling on tiktok and came across a Bluey post, not unusual as I love Bluey, but this post specifically made my skin crawl. It was AI music using the voice of the young anonymous actress who voices Bluey.

The creators of Bluey have made a huge deal out of making aure that these kids stay anonymous because they understand how the industry can be so incredibly damaging to children. Their names aren't even public knowledge. These kids are not only kept anonymous so that they can live as normal lives as possible, but they are kept anonymous for safety reasons. I'm certain you've heard the horror stories of children being groomed and endangered because they become so popular so young. Ludo Studios is trying to keep these kids safe. Evidence below (source)

Hearing this kid's voice used without her consent, without her parents consent, even without her knowledge and endangering her like this is the most disturbing thing I've seen in a very long time.

The worst thing about this? Everyone in the comments was going on about how cute she sounded "singing the song" and that OP should "make a version with Bingo", who's actress is even younger than Bluey's voice actress. No one saw that there was something wrong with this. I am disgusted and horrifically disturbed.

"AI" isn't "Artificial Intelligence". There is nothing Intelligent about it. It is simply programs and computer mimicry that is marketed as "AI" as a selling point. It isn't truly learning from anything to be considered intelligent. It is taking what you put into it and mimicing that. It is wrong and a violation of someone's life 100% of the time.

If you are considering creating "AI music" or any form of "AI" content, please reconsider. You are causing so much more harm than you realise.

“I want to live!” what if i start sobbing screaming throwing up RIGHT NOW.

lowkey want to draw kaz and inej again just to see how i draw them now that my style has changed so much,,,,

I think the Uncut version of The Mind video PJ uploaded on Patreon is the greatest gift I have been given in this fandom. It's like the perfect video to just study them under a microscope because it is so unedited. You can just really see how they are in real life, especially also because they are with friends, within their comfort zone but outside of whatever little 'Dan and Phil' bubble they have.

Seeing the way Sophie interacts with Phil and responds to his mannerisms in a way that's so different to Dan. In general getting to see Sophie within this group of people who's mannerisms I know so well and how she fits in. The way Dan is so reactive to everything Phil does, and the way Sophie and PJ respond to their dynamic. The way Phil changes ever so slightly in this group, because especially him we barely ever see outside of interactions with Dan. Dan does projects on his own, with other people involved (Pride video, Dystopia Daily, ...) but Phil only ever really does videos by himself or with Dan and VERY occasionally with others. Seeing the way Dan and Sophie barely interact somehow, or only really subtly. PJ and Dan interacting in a way that feels so different than how Dan interacts with anyone else. The way dynamics we know so well (Dan and Phil / Sophie and PJ) are both different and the same. THERE IS SOMETHING SO DEEPLY FASCINATING ABOUT THIS WHOLE VIDEO TO ME

Holy shit holy shit I just saw the Dnd movie and it was so fucking good I am loosing it. The characters, the story, the jokes, the use of practical effects for some of the creature characters- I am feeling so much. Also i main Barbarian during dnd and the Barbarian in this movie was more than I could ever want. Also Sophia Lillis’s character was an absolute delight but my favorite from the film- surprisingly not Chris Pine’s either- was Justice Smith’s character Simon Aumar

He’s literally just some guy and I love him. He was the comedic backbone of this film.

Worst thing to happen to ZADR is that a lot of ants decided it's ok for them to ship if you file off all the edges and remove any flavor at all from their interactions so now I get to see a bunch of ant bullshit in my for you page because Tumblr still remembers I like the ship.

Like people were getting harassed years ago for liking zadr and now all the bullies decided it's theirs now? Stupid as hell. Take me back to when people were yelling about how the ship was gay in 2006 being the worst thing I saw about it.

stretching isn’t enough i need to wiggle my spine around like one of these bad boys

I remembered this clip that I had it for a long time, for me one of the funniest scenes of grill. Let's see it was a compilation episode but I put in situation. What better way to check the state of the giant robot? Calling him is faster. So fast that you hear his footsteps coming in, without fowler even having lifted the shutter. The reactions of General Bryce and the soldier. The first impression of encountering a giant robot makes you fall to the ground in shock and even though the general was keeping it professional he was also shocked. This robot is telling you it's okay so calm while he could have a panic attack. I also like the fact that for example you are at home quietly and your favorite robot can look at you through the window calmly and give you a scare attack at the sight of him.

You've got your Mavdad and your Icepops, there's even some Dadclone going around. But where is the love for Vipapa?

self portraiture is hard man

i know you all follow me for my silly fandom thoughts and the occasional big brain idea, but this one is important to me so if you have a minute PLEASE READ

the last four years have been the absolute worst years of our lives for my family and it's been tragedy after tragedy and now medical expenses have gone beyond what's doable for us alone.

my cousin has started a campaign to help her and her husband continue living and caring for their kids after she was paralyzed waist down during the birth of their twin babies

so far they've been able to get money through health insurance programs but it won't be extended beyond april 28th so they are desperate for help

please donate if you are able to or help with a reblog, thank you!

as the page is in german i've summarized and translated the pages description:

Julia and her husband Christopher are parents of a 4 year old son and discovered the joyful news to be pregnant again last year, with twins!

Both babies developed perfectly and in the 38th week Julia goes to the hospital with contractions. Having good experiences with an epidural during the birth of her first son, Julia asks for an epidural, which is when things start to go wrong.

She feels sudden pain, like being electrocuted in her right leg and begins to feel numb, unable to move any part of her lower body. At this point one of the twins heart sounds create concern and the decision for an emergency c-section is made.

After waking up from surgery Julia has three healthy babies, but can no longer feel or move her legs.

Despite being paralyzed, fevers and endless exams she tries caring for the babies, but after two weeks the twins leave the hospital without her.

Tragedy continues when unbearable headaches, a lack of vision and consciousness prompt a CT scan that shows a Hydrocephalus, a condition in which excessive fluids in the brain cause pressure within the skull. Another emergency surgery to place a drain to relief the pressure on the brain is followed by a third surgery for placing a shunt, a permanent solution for the pressure regulation.

It is now 13/04/2024 and Julia has not been home since 06/12/2023, while her husband cares for all three kids.

So far this has been possible as Julia's father in law has been on leave from work as a domestic helper and his loss of earnings is reimbursed by the health insurance company. This funding is to be cut without any chance of extension by April 28th 2024.

Julia is still in inpatient rehab trying to regain mobility and learning to walk again, while her husband is at maximum capacity caring for two infants and a toddler.

The money goes towards providing help in continuing to employ a domestic helper, so he can concentrate on child care while Julia focuses on recovery as well as making their home wheelchair accessible.

please help if you can

You whisper in my ear “The IT fandom is dead”

I shove my hand in your face and look daringly into the sun “No, it’s not. Not yet it isn’t. I’m still here and so is a couple of other clowns.”
